Chapter 389: Ah... so they are demons
"Mother Marie... Please touch my son’s head."
"Mother Marie, please heal my wife."
"Mother Marie... Please, I want to join the church."
People surrounded the chariot from all sides and raised their hands just to get a slight touch from her hands.
Meanwhile, Mother Marie looked down on them like petty bugs and smiled as she just waved her hand at them from above.
Suddenly, her eyes locked onto the two figures that were standing behind the crowd and observing her from a distance.
’Hmm...? They aren’t from the kingdom but they don’t look like traders or merchants as well. Are they visitors ?
But the look in their eyes doesn’t seem like a visitor’s look.’ Marie thought as she immediately started to look back at the crowd.
...
"Master..." Vesper spoke with a smile. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"I know... I know, she saw us. But she is pretending that she didn’t." Leon spoke as a smile appeared over his face.
"What’s the plan, Master ?" Vesper asked with a smile.
"I need information on her Church and a schedule of this kingdom, what happens when and why it happens. An Inn should do the job. Let’s go." Leon spoke as he started walking towards the other direction.
"Yes, Master." Vesper replied as she started following behind him immediately.
...
"Children of the shadow... Follow them." Marie spoke with a smile as she continued to wave at them.
"Yes, Mother."
Both of the girls sitting besides her stood up and disappeared into thin air immediately.
....
As Leon walked forward, he noticed a couple in almost same black coloured clothes coming towards him.
"Excuse me." Leon spoke as he walked upto them.
"Y-Yes ?" The man who was around twenty-seven years old spoke in a scared voice as soon as he saw Leon.
’What the fuck is wrong with him ? Why is he scared ?’ Leon thought with a confused expression as he looked at him, but as soon as his eyes drifted towards the woman walking with him, he noticed that she was even more scared of him.
The woman was hiding behind the man and she was grabbing his coat very tightly.
"Is something wrong with me ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.
"W-What ?" The man asked with a confused expression.
"You are acting as if I am some kind of monster who will eat you immediately." Leon replied with a smile.
"I-I-I am sorry, but we aren’t allowed to-" Before he could’ve completed his sentence, a voice came from behind.
"Oi... What are you doing there ?"
Leon immediately turned around and noticed two patrolling guards coming towards them.
"What are you doing here ? Identify yourself." The guard didn’t ask Leon anything but started questioning the couple.
"S-Sir, I am Yunio and she is my wife Rina, we live in house 33B6 and we have a children waiting for us at home." The man spoke as he looked at the guards with a hesitated expression.
"Check it..." The guard spoke as he looked at his partner.
"Yes." The another guard immediately pulled out a small crystal ball from his pocket and started rubbing it slowly, while looking at it continuously.
"B6 block is all the way in the northern district, what are you doing here ?" The guard asked with a neutral expression.
"I came here to buy some clothes for me and my family, Sir." The man spoke as he immediately showed him the bag filled with clothes.
"They check out." The other guard spoke with a neutral expression.
’They check out ? This really is a fucking prison. Motherfuckers can’t even shop without getting inspected like crazy.’ Leon thought in his mind.
"Good... Be on your way." The guard spoke with a neutral expression.
"Y-Yes." The couple immediately left after this.
"Sir... Can I help you ?" The guard then turned toward Leon and asked in a polite tone.
"Yeah... we are looking for an Inn, somewhere-"
"Please go straight from here, take the third left turn and you will come across a large Inn. It’s specially build for nobles and their servants." The guard replied in a polite tone.
’He knows who we are, but he didn’t even saw the card. The information network of this kingdom is very secure and fast. Do all the guards know about our arrival ?
Does Marie also knows about us ? No, that can’t be, I saw doubt and confusion in her eyes... She had no idea about who we were.
Are these guards using some kind of telepathic connection to connect with each other ?’ Leon thought with a confused expression as he continued to stare at the guard.
"Something wrong, sir ? Everything you need will be provided in the Inn. Lunch, dinner and clothes.
They already know that you are coming, your rooms are already being prepared. Should we escort you to the Inn ?" The guard asked with a neutral expression.
"Sure." Leon replied with a neutral expression.
"Please follow us." The guards spoke as they started walking forward, Leon and Vesper started following them.
"How did you know who we were ?" Leon asked with a neutral expression.
"We are the guards of this kingdom, sir. We know everything that goes around the whole Kingdom." The guard replied, his words clearly revealed that he had no intention of talking further on the same topic.
*Poke*
Suddenly, Leon felt Vesper’s finger poking his hand.
"Hmm...?" He immediately looked at her and noticed that Vesper was pointing towards the guard’s back with her right hand’s index finger.
He immediately followed her finger’s direction and noticed that a black spike like thing was peeking out of the guard’s upper armour.
’What’s that ?’ Leon thought as he immediately used his skill on the guard.

[Class: Rodon]
[Race: Demon]
[Level: 47]
[HP: 80,000/80,000]
[MP: 10,000/10,000]
[Description: Rodons are one of the most powerful demonic guards that are mostly found in large groups and they look very similar to humans, except their spine has sharp black spikes poking out. They only work for three or above blood-ranked noble demons.
These guards are known for their physical strength and stamina. But the most intresting trait that they have is known as {Shared Knowledge}. This trait allows them to share small parts of knowledge with each other in a short distance without communicating verbally.]
’Ah... So, they are demons.’ Leon thought with a smile.
