[What are we doing?] Lily asked curiously through [Telepathy].
[I have a theory that members of the house of Greed are hiding here and I want to find them.] Colin said while walking along the street. He had activated his [Stealth] trait and was undetectable by everyone, including Lily who had also activated her stealth ability. He had also activated [Senses Manipulation] to maximize his hearing.
[Oh, are you going to burn down this city like you did the last one, to you know, flush them out.] Lily said sarcastically
[What can you tell me about the house of Greed?] Colin asked, ignoring her sarcastic comment.
[Sigh, the house of Greed is mostly made up of the Leprauchaun subclass and are ruled by Mammon. They aren't really physically strong, but they are incredibly greedy and sneaky. They are also pretty good at building stuff and selling them so I guess that's why they are called the house of Trade. They are on good terms with pretty much every house except for the Morningstars. Those prideful pricks.] Lily replied, Colin could hear the disdain in her voice when she said the last part.
[Are they reasonable?] Colin asked
[Most of the time.] Lily replied
[What do demons even trade with?] Colin asked
[Mostly cursed ores, favours or powerful materials like monster parts.] Lily said
'Huh, I guess I should have grabbed that Frost Lion then.' Colin thought amusingly
*Bang*
Colin suddenly looked in an alley where he heard the sound of a can being kicked. He concentrated on the alley way and he could hear something, or someone, rummaging through the garbage. He ran into the alleyway and could see the garbage moving, but no one actually moving it.
'Huh, their stealth ability is pretty good.' Colin thought and walked behind the invisible figure, he grabbed onto the figure and instantly it's stealth ability was disabled. In his hand, was a short green skinned creature with pointy ears and glowing red eyes.
"What, what's going on?" The little creature struggled futilely in Colin's iron grip.
[Name: Bernold
Race: Goblin
Sin: Greed
Level: 3/10
LP: 80/80
DP: 8/8
Family Ability: [Snatch]
Traits: [Dash]
Skills: [Regeneration], [Aura Vision], [Supernatural Physique], [Supernatural Senses]
"Who the hell are you? Show yourself coward." The small demon, Bernold,said while struggling. Colin just looked at him with an amused smile but decided to honour his request.
"I-I'm warning you, if you hurt me, my family members will come after you. Their is a tier 4 among us, a tier 3 like you stand no chance." The little demon said
"Let them come, I'm sure I can handle it." Colin said with a sinister smile and tears started rolling down the little demon's face. Colin was starting to feel bad for the little Demon when he suddenly felt something hard striking him in the head.
"Stop frightening the little boy." Lily said with an angry expression on her face.
"A-a High Daimoni, please don't eat me." The boy said and started to cry
"Hey, I'm not gonna eat you. Who told you that High Daimonis eat people?" Lily asked with a frown
"Listen kid, we aren't....." But before he could complete his sentence, a golden spike rose out of the ground and flew towards Colin's face, but he was able to dodge in time as the spike broke through the building behind him.
"Let the boy go, now." A short man who suddenly appeared in the alley shouted, there were several golden spikes circling around him, ready to be launched at anytime.
"You're from the house of Greed, right?" Colin asked
"No shit Sherlock, now put down the boy." The short man said angrily
"Tell me, do you know a guy named Dracos Black?" Colin asked
"You mean that feral werewolf from City I. That bastard would have killed me if we weren't from the same family. What's it to you?" The short man asked
"Nothing much, just that that guy disgusts me and I would rather not do business with a friend of that guy." Colin said and put down the Demon child who quickly ran to short man.
"Dad." The little boy cried as he hugged the short man.
"Your safe now Bernold, that was a bad move now nothing's holding me back from killing you." The man said as his aura intensified and the golden spikes started spinning rapidly. Flames appeared in Colin's hand as he prepared to fight, but Lily, who has been silently watching, decided to intervene.
"Wait a minute, we aren't here to fight?" Lily said
"Yeah right?" The short man snorted
"If we were, do you really think we would have let your son go?" Lily asked with a raised eyebrow, staring at them for a few seconds, the man sighed and the golden spikes disappeared.
"What do you want?" The man asked
"I want two regalias." Colin said without hesitation
"Sure, I can give you that, but what do you have to trade for them?" He asked
"Nothing at the moment, but I'm sure we can work something out." Colin said with a shrug, the man sighed but then smiled sinisterly the next second.
"There is a task that I'm sure is perfectly suited for a Demon Noble such as yourself. In the forest, in that direction, is a huge cave full of cursed ores. But it is guarded by a tier 4 beast, I need you to kill the beast guarding the cave and bring me it's corpse as proof. Do that, and I'll give you two regalias." The man said
"It's a deal. There is a group of humans and an Angel in the city, don't touch them." Colin said as he flew away.
[Lily, stay here and make sure they don't do anything to Sera and the others.] He said as he flew away
[Why would I do that?] Lily asked with a frown
[Please.]
[.....Fine, but you owe me, hmph.] She replied
