The next morning, Joshua hurried to Squirrel Street in a carriage early in the morning.
When Joshua got off the carriage and came to the inn named Black Pigeon, something went wrong.
"The Crypt Giants... I can probably guess why they hate Squirrel Street."
Ciri, who was beside Josh, was ready to fight, because at the entrance of the Black Dove Hotel stood two humans and a sturdy giant.
The giant was nearly two meters tall, even a head taller than the sinful demon Zenas, and was covered with rock-like skin.
But what makes people feel funny is that this rough-skinned crypt giant is wearing decent clothes, and the two human beings next to it are also wearing fine clothing like aristocrats.
This extremely awkward combination stood in front of the Black Pigeon Hotel, and the manager of the Black Pigeon Hotel, the fraudster Prock, was standing at the door talking to the two humans.
"My debts have been paid off... Please leave."
Facing the tall giant, the deceiver Prouk remained expressionless. He threw a bag of gold coins to one of the humans, and said loudly.
Joshua remembered that the bag of gold coins was the deposit he used to secure the hotel yesterday... It seems that the people who have the name of the Faceless Demon in the demon world live a worse life in the human world than Joshua imagined.
"No no no no, this is just arrears, and there is interest. Since you adopted those useless and weird little guys, this money has been owed for two full years."
One of the humans made a gesture that requires more gestures. The aliens living in Squirrel Street are generally poorer, which made them human businessmen see the opportunity to squeeze them.
"When you lent me this money, you didn't say there was any interest." Prowl the fraudster realized that he had been "frauded" by this human being.
"I didn't say it, but it's clearly written in the contract... If you don't have it, you can only use your hotel to pay off the debt. I don't care what kind of black pigeon or black duck you are, such a good place shouldn't be There's a shabby hotel, and get out of here with those weirdos you've adopted."
The human businessman had no intention of having a good conversation at all. Under his signal, the crypt giant next to him raised his fist and wanted to demolish the hotel directly.
But Prucker blocked his body directly in front of the fist swung by the crypt giant.
Obviously, Prucker is a type that is not good at fighting, and he can't stop the punch of the crypt giant at all.
"Go up and kill that big guy?"
Ciri couldn't bear to watch this scene anymore, the most important thing was that there were still children in the hotel.
"I don't think we need to take action anymore." Joshua withdrew the gray magic power in his hand.
A female knight in silver-white armor has blocked the door of the hotel.
As a senior Crusader, Messi was far more powerful than the crypt giant. She blocked Prock and easily knocked down the crypt giant with just one arm. The punch was blocked.
"you… "
The sudden appearance of the knight made the human panic a little, but the other person next to him quickly took out his magic wand and constructed offensive magic.
The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and he was chanting an extremely dangerous burning flame system magic.
But before the magic created by the other party had time to sing a few inscriptions, a wooden barrel fell from the sky and smashed directly on his head. The impact of the wooden barrel not only stunned the magician, but also made the apples in the barrel stunned. Vegetables and the like were scattered on the ground.
Messiah looked at Ciri following the magic wave that had just dissipated from the barrel.
What Ciri used just now was the simplest "Hand of the Mage", but fighting in this kind of street is far more efficient than the scorching magic constructed by that magician.
With the help of Ciri, the scene was successfully controlled by Misa, and Joshua walked quickly to the door of the hotel.
The sudden approach of Joshua made Missai vigilant. In her eyes, Joshua was much more dangerous than that tall crypt giant!
However, Joshua naturally stood beside Messi, and by the way cleared his throat and pointed at the majestic female knight.
"This is the future commander of the Crusaders of the Holy Cult. If you provoke them, it is estimated that even the bones will be burned by the Holy Light."
Joshua's intimidation had a very successful effect. This human businessman had heard of the Crusader... Notoriety, plus their strongest thug, the crypt giant was not an opponent of this female knight with one arm, he even He didn't say a word of clamor, just let the crypt giant drag the unconscious magician away from here.
"Is this another conspiracy of yours?" Messi stared at Qiao Xiu with vigilant eyes.
"No, I just sincerely praise your Crusaders for their prestige and feats."
The poor naive lady knight didn't hear the sarcasm in Joshua's words at all, and just stubbornly thought it was a few words of compliment.
Joshua saw that Messi didn't intend to continue talking to himself, so he turned to look at the deceiver.
"Next... it's time to go in and talk about business."
…
"One thousand gold coins, this is half of the deposit, and the other half will be paid to you after the filming is completed."
Joshua sat at a dilapidated wooden table in the hotel and pushed a large bag of gold coins in front of the hotel's manager, the fraudster Prouk.
These money may be just a small savings for the members of the Black Swan Troupe, but for him, who only has a dilapidated hotel in Nolan, it is a wealth that is too much to imagine.
And the deposit that Joshua had made from the hotel before, was enough for him to not have to worry about money issues in the past two years.
"I don't know what a movie is, sir."
With so many gold coins in front of him, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, but his eyes looked behind Qiao Xiu from time to time.
If possible, he didn't want to have too much contact with Qiao Xiu. The biggest reason was that Qiao Xiu's identity would attract the attention of the Holy Kingdom.
And after he agreed to Joshua's proposal to stay at the hotel, what he was most worried about happened the next day, when a Crusader knight appeared at the door of his hotel.
The Crusader was behind Joshua talking to his adopted half-dragon and grey cat children. The interracial conversation seemed pleasant, but he was sweating inside. .
Not all Crusaders are so friendly to aliens.
"Movies, simply put, play a fake role to deceive others. I think it's your racial talent, isn't it? That's what you're doing now," Joshua said.
The deceiver of the Demon Race is an actor comparable to the succubus, and the deceiver's temperament is too similar to Leon in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", and Joshua hopes to let him try the role of Leon.
"I'll just tell you that, Mr. Faceless." Joshua lowered his voice and said his true race.
"Maybe you can get temporary safety under the shelter of the black pigeon, and what I want to do now is to fight for you something that the black pigeon can never give you... That is to live in the most basic status and dignity in this city, not to walk Called a freak by humans on the street!"
