A few minutes later, Jeremy stepped out of the inn and made his way to the market known as Dawn Bazaar.
At the entrance of the Dawn Bazaar, more than a dozen people equipped identically to the city gate guards were on high alert.
The Dawn Bazaar is one of the largest retail markets in Dawn City, providing a tremendous amount of tax revenue to the city every day. Naturally, Dawn City places great importance on it.
Jeremy's appearance caused a minor stir almost immediately.
The reason was simple: in Dawn City, and indeed throughout the Land of Eternal Night, the most common type of sinner was the beast-headed, human-bodied creature Jeremy had encountered along his journey.
Humans with Jeremy's appearance — completely human without any trace of beastly features — were quite rare.
To the sinners of the Land of Eternal Night, Jeremy's appearance had a special term: "God-Touched." It was believed that only deities bore such characteristics.
