The next morning, Josiah rushed to Squirrel Street in a carriage.
When Josiah got off the carriage and arrived in front of the Black Pigeon Inn, there was a small problem.
"Cave Giants … I can roughly guess why they hate Squirrel Street."
Hiri, who was beside Josiah, was ready to fight, because in front of the Black Pigeon Inn stood two humans and a sturdy giant.
The giant was nearly 2.2 meters tall, even taller than the Sin Demon Zenas by a head. Its body was covered with rock-like skin.
But what was comical was that this rough skinned Cave Giant was wearing very decent clothes, and the two humans next to it were also wearing fine clothes like nobles.
This extremely awkward combination blocked the Black Pigeon Inn, and the manager of the Black Pigeon Inn, Pluck the Swindler, was standing at the door talking with the two humans.
"My debt has been paid … Please leave."
Facing the tall giant, Pluck the Swindler still maintained an expressionless face. He threw a bag of gold coins to one of the humans and said loudly.
Josiah remembered that the bag of gold coins was the deposit he used to book this inn yesterday … It seemed that the life of the Demon Realm's race, known as the Faceless Demon, in the human world was worse than Josiah had imagined.
"No, no, no, no, this is just a debt, there is interest. Ever since you adopted those useless little monsters, this money has been in debt for a whole two years."
One of the humans gestured for more. The races living in Squirrel Street were generally relatively poor, which made these human merchants see a business opportunity to exploit them.
"When you first lent me this money, you didn't say that there would be interest." Pluck the Swindler realized that he had been 'deceived' by this human.
"I didn't say it, but it's clearly written on the contract. If you don't have it, then you can only use your inn to pay off the debt. I don't care if you're a black pigeon or a black duck. Such a good place shouldn't have a run-down inn. Take your xenogeneics and scram."
The human merchant had no intention of having a nice conversation. At his signal, the Cave Giant beside him raised its fist and was about to demolish the inn.
But Pluck used his body to block in front of the Cave Giant's swinging fist.
Clearly, Pluch wasn't the type of person who was good at fighting. He wasn't able to block this punch of the Crypt Giant at all.
"Go up and kill that big guy?"
Hiri couldn't bear to watch this scene any longer. More importantly, there were children in the hotel.
"I don't think we need to do anything anymore." Josiah retracted the gray magic in his hand.
A female knight wearing silver-white armor was already blocking the entrance of the hotel.
As a senior Paladin, Messiah's strength was far superior to that of the Cave Giant. She stood in front of Pluck and easily blocked the Cave Giant's punch with just one arm.
"You …"
The sudden appearance of the knight caused the human to panic, but very quickly, another person beside him quickly took out a magic staff and constructed an offensive spell.
The surrounding temperature suddenly rose. He was chanting an extremely dangerous Fire System Magic.
But before he could chant a few inscriptions, a wooden barrel fell from the sky and smashed into his head. The impact of the barrel not only knocked the magician unconscious, but also scattered the apples and vegetables inside the barrel to the ground.
Messiah followed the magic wave that had just dissipated from the barrel and looked at Hiri.
What Hiri used just now was the simplest "Magician's Hand", but in this kind of street melee, it was far more effective than the burning magic the magician constructed.
With Hiri's help, the scene was successfully controlled by Messiah. Josiah also quickly walked to the entrance of the hotel.
Josiah's sudden approach made Messiah vigilant. In her eyes, Josiah was much more dangerous than that tall Cave Giant!
But Josiah very naturally stood next to Messiah. He even cleared his throat and pointed at the awe-inspiring female knight.
"This is the future Head of the Holy Army of the Kingdom of the Saint. If you provoke them, I bet even your bones will be incinerated by the holy light."
Josiah's threat was extremely effective. This human merchant had heard of the Holy Army's notoriety. Plus, their strongest fighter, the Cave Giant, was not even a match for one of this female knight's arms. He didn't even say a word and directly let the Cave Giant drag the unconscious magician away.
"Is this another one of your schemes?" Messiah stared at Josiah with vigilance.
"No, I'm just sincerely praising the reputation and heroic deeds of the Holy Army."
The poor naive female knight didn't even hear the sarcasm in Josiah's words. She stubbornly thought it was just a few words of praise.
Seeing that Messiah had no intention to continue the conversation, Josiah turned to look at the fraudster.
"Next … it's time to go in and talk business."
… …
"A thousand gold coins. This is half of the deposit. The other half will be paid to you after the filming is completed."
Josiah sat in front of a worn-out wooden table in the hotel and pushed a large bag of gold coins in front of the manager of the hotel, the fraudster Pluck.
This money may only be a small amount of savings for the members of the Black Swan, but for him, who only owned a shabby hotel in Noland, it was an unimaginable amount of wealth.
And the deposit that Josiah paid for the hotel was enough for him to not have to worry about money for the next year or two.
"I don't know what a movie is, sir."
With so many gold coins in front of him, the expression on his face didn't change at all. He just looked behind Josiah from time to time.
If it was possible, he didn't want to have too much contact with Josiah. The biggest reason was that Josiah's identity would attract the attention of the Holy Kingdom.
And after he agreed to Josiah's proposal to stay in the hotel, the situation he was most worried about still happened the next day. A Paladin appeared in front of his hotel.
The Paladin was behind Josiah talking to the half-dragon and gray cat children he adopted. This interracial conversation seemed to be very pleasant, but he was sweating in his heart.
Not all Paladins would be so friendly to other races.
"A movie, simply put, is playing a fake role to deceive others. I think this is your race's talent, isn't it? That's what you're doing now. "Josiah said.
The fraudster of the demon race was an actor comparable to the Succubus, and this fraudster's temperament was too similar to Leon in "This Assassin Isn't Too Cold". Josiah wanted him to try the role of Leon.
"I'll tell you directly, Mr. Faceless Demon." Josiah lowered his voice and said his true race.
