The tavern suddenly quieted down, leaving only the sound of chewing. Suddenly, with a bang, someone slammed the table and then stood up abruptly. Reina glanced at it. It was a guy that looked like a lizard.
It was definitely drunk. It turned around with a provocative look on its face, holding a jug of wine in its left hand. It staggered to the side, not far from Reina. It leaned on the counter, tilted its head and said to the woman:
"I'm asking you, human. Are you dissatisfied with our Demon King? Ugh!"
It burped loudly, reeking of wine. Then it pointed at the frightened woman with the hand that was holding the wine and said: "That is also your Demon King. If it wasn't for the Demon King forgiving you, you humans would have been killed long ago. Look at your army, unable to withstand a single blow. Look at your brave warriors, weak and incompetent. The reason you can still live here is all thanks to Lord Demon King's grace! You actually don't thank him and are still grieving for those who gave up on you. "
The woman was so scared that her face turned deathly pale. She could only repeatedly say sorry, but Reina could see that this group of demons was clearly not angry because of these reasons. They were only angry because they wanted to save money for a meal. She understood these guys very well.
In terms of greed, they were similar to humans. There were also many petty people among the demons.
"Right! You have to thank our Demon King. "
"Otherwise, this matter won't be over!"
The others also followed suit. At this time, several men came out of the kitchen. They let the frightened woman return to the kitchen while they did their best to appease this group of angry demons.
"Sirs, I'm really sorry. She is just a village woman who has never seen the outside world. We don't dare to forget Lord Demon King's great kindness. How about this, I'll treat everyone to a drink. How about we just forget about this matter?"
A man with small eyes bowed and said with a smile. He looked like the owner of the tavern. After all, compared to the woman, he was braver.
"There's not enough wine! We want to eat meat, big mouthfuls of meat! Not just meat that's only enough to fill the gaps between our teeth! And those overcooked grass! "
The lizard shouted. Human food was exquisite and small in quantity, even more so for meat. Not all demons liked the staple food of humans. They preferred meat that had been cooked to be tender and juicy.
But in fact, meat dishes were more expensive. To them, eating meat for every meal in a human city was a luxury. These demon merchants were not rich, at least not before they shipped their goods back and sold them.
The owner of the tavern revealed an awkward expression. The meat and most of the grain had been confiscated by the army, and the remaining grain was only enough for the people to consume. What's more, the market was under the control of the Wusen Empire, so no one was able to stockpile large amounts of food.
"My lords, I would also like to treat everyone to a meal. However, my store doesn't have much meat left. Even if I take all of it out, it won't be enough for half of the people here."
"Then take as much as you can, and serve everything else that can be eaten!"
"The regulators won't agree to this."
However, at this moment, a voice sounded.
As soon as the words' regulators' were spoken, the noisy tavern fell silent. Some people looked towards the door in panic, while others lowered their heads, trying to pretend that they weren't involved in the commotion.
The demons seemed to be very afraid of these three words. In truth, they should be afraid. The city had a squad called the 'regulators'. They were responsible for maintaining order in the city, preventing people with bad intentions from taking advantage of the chaos to commit crimes and steal the city's resources. The regulators were very strict. Whether it was towards humans or demons, they would all obey the orders of the Demon King.
They came from the trading city of Ufa Great Forest. Their leader was a mixed-blood of the Dark Crow Clan. He was half human and half demon. Even the supervisor was half human and half demon.
After glancing at the door and confirming that the supervisor was not here, the lizard that led the trouble turned its head and looked at the person who spoke with its moving eyes. She was eating shabby food and standing in front of the counter by herself.
"The regulators won't care about this kind of thing. Who are you? Hiding under the cloak, you must be something that can't be seen! "
The lizard suddenly grabbed at the other party. It grabbed the other party's hat and pulled it off. A strand of snow-white hair appeared in front of everyone. Everyone showed a surprised expression. She was not a demon, but a human.
"A shapeshifter? No! You! You're a human! "
"A genuine human."
Reina slapped its hand away as if she was swatting a mosquito. The lizard quickly retracted its hand. It found that this was more painful than it had imagined. It had a layer of scales on its skin. With such strength, how could she not feel pain?
The tavern owner was also shocked. Very few people came to eat at this time of the year because this place was full of demons.
"A human like you dares to speak to me like this! Do you know that you're the losers? We're the conquerors. The losers submit to the conquerors. You don't seem to understand this principle! "
"As far as I know, you're just a bunch of seagulls. You came from thousands of miles away just to eat some leftover fish from a fishing boat. Right, that boat is called the Wusen Empire."
Reina mocked. And the person driving the boat was the person she was looking for. Her master, the Demon King, Richard.
"You're comparing the great Demon King to a fisherman!"
"I didn't say that, but everyone heard you call the great Demon King a fisherman."
"You! You want to slander me, despicable human! You'll pay the price. I'll bring you to our territory and teach you what manners are, what obedience is! "
The lizard cursed, as if it wanted to attack.
Reina laughed coldly, not caring about its threats at all. The tavern owner hurriedly stopped them, saying, "You two! Harmony breeds wealth. If you cause a ruckus, the Overseers won't let us off! "
"I don't care. You can rest today and leave easily!"
The lizard shouted loudly, taking off its shirt as if it wanted to attack. The surrounding people were in an uproar. They hoped that the two would fight, so that things would become more interesting. Even if the Overseers came, it didn't matter.
"What? If you don't make a move, I'll easily leave here. "
Reina yawned and said. The lizard man didn't make any further movements. It wasn't actually drunk, it was just pretending to be drunk to save money for a meal.
It looked around, the situation was getting worse. If it fought like this, it might really be taken away. It didn't want to be taken away by the Overseers. They would confiscate its goods.
But if it just let it go and let this arrogant and despotic human run away, it would definitely be laughed at by its peers. At that time, it would have a new nickname. It would be ridiculed as a coward who was afraid of humans. This would make it easier for it to be targeted by people with ulterior motives.
It gritted its teeth. Suddenly, with a bang, the bottle on the table shook a few times, colliding with the soup ladle on top, making a crisp sound.
The lizard man put his hand on the counter and made a wrist wrestling action. He looked at Reina and said, "If you have the guts, then use this to determine the winner!"
Seeing this, Reina was stunned for a moment, then the corner of her mouth curved, saying, "Who's afraid of who?"
