Re: Evolution Online

The celebrations continued for a long time, and Liam did not have the luxury of waiting around for the whole thing to end.

He slipped out as soon as he was sure that his absence wouldn't be noticed. He just now got on the good side of this King, and he didn't want to do anything rude and offend him again.

For a race of bloodthirsty war mongering brutes, some of the demons were too sensitive for their own good.

"Ok. Now that this is taken care of, we need to… hmmm?" Liam paused, noticing that the bat was still standing behind him.

"Oh!" He exclaimed in surprise.

He had almost forgotten about this beast, but it was good that he was still clinging on to him. "I need to purchase a batch of these bat beasts for the guild."

Liam looked around to see where he could possibly get some. It was about time everyone in the group had their personal flying mounts.

After this point, every second counted and they couldn't afford to spend it on traveling. Especially for the sake of exploring the rest of the nether realm, this was the best.

Liam walked around the Kingdom city for a few minutes taking a look at everything. There was no longer any noose around his neck. So he was able to go wherever he wanted casually.

"Hmmm… So overall, there is not much difference between this and any other demon settlement, huh. Alright. Let's see where the bats are being sold."

The market street was the last place to explore, and it looked far more interesting, so Liam headed over there to take a look at all the items available.

He was now in the nether realm and in the midst of a demon settlement, so chances were that there might be some unique items for sale in this market.

Though nothing like that was available in the smaller garrison cities, this was the Kingdom city. Liam had some hopes of running into something special, and he continued looking around.

The first few minutes were quite disappointing as he simply kept running into market sectors trading meat.

There were all sorts of meat available from different kinds of beasts, so this would basically be any cooking profession player's dream spot.

Even Luna's mouth was watering the entire time as she eyed everything with twinkling eyes.

In the beginning, Liam just continued walking, ignoring the vendors, but after some time, glancing at the drooling fox next to him, he decided to buy some things.

"You want it now, or shall I ask Shen Yue to cook something first?" He chuckled and asked her.

Kyuuuuu!

The fox immediately shook her head. [Cooked, Master]

"Alright." Liam nodded and then continued his exploration. Still behind these two, the bat looked at their interaction enviously and quickly ran after them.

The group toured the market for some more time with similarly disappointing results. In the end, Liam directly walked over to a demon.

"Where can I buy more of these?" He pointed to the bat who suddenly became stiff from the attention.

Huh? The vendor looked at Liam and then eyes the bat from top to bottom, only recognizing it after a few seconds. A look of surprise appeared on his face. This was a top notch item!

"Ora! Whos dis? You can't buy our birds that easily! But…" He grinned, "I can take dis off our hands. How about 5 coppers? This is a generous offer no one else will offer you brat!"

Liam's face twitched hearing this generous offer. "No. Thank you. I think I will pass." He smiled calmly and then took out the medallion from his inventory.

Clang. The vendor's face instantly changed as he dropped the thing in his hand in shock.

"Ahhh! Forgive me, Lord! Forgive me!" He began shaking from top to bottom

Seeing that Liam's expression was not softening, the demon gulped and quickly gave the information that Liam had asked him in the first place.

"These creatures are only sold in the King's square. If you go straight for a few more blocks and then turn right, you should reach the King's square."

"Mmm." Liam nodded and then walked away. Behind him, both the fox and, for some reason the bat as well scoffed at the poor demon with a lot of attitude before walking away.

This little thing is growing more arrogant by the day. Liam chuckled at the duo and went over to the special square that the demon had mentioned.

However, before turning the corner, he couldn't help but notice another vendor selling some herbs.

"Hmmm?" Liam walked closer and took a look at the small stall. His brows immediately shot up because the herbs here were actually being sold for dirt cheap prices!

"5 bundles of herbs for 5 coppers? Unbelievable!"

Even though Liam had the stone tablet's garden now for growing whatever herb that he needed, the alchemist inside him couldn't let this cheap sale go to waste.

Just as he was browsing the collection with the intention of buying everything irrespective of whether he needed it or not, suddenly a woman's loud voice sounded in his ears.

"CURSED! YOU ARE CURSED BRAT!"

The woman's shrill voice and her peculiar words caught Liam's attention, and he casually turned to give the person a look.

It was an old female demon with oddly curled coarse hair. Some other things were also sticking out of her head.

"You! You are cursed!" She looked at Liam and shouted again.

Hmmm. Liam paused for a moment and then decided to leave. He was wasting time here.

It was probably some charlatan trying to earn money, so he did not think anything special of it, but the next second, before he could take another step, the woman uttered something else.

Something else that she should not have.

"YOU ARE CURSED BY THE RAVEN WITCH BRAT!"

Fuck! Liam's face instantly changed as he heard that familiar term, and he turned around to walk closer to the old demon, almost scaring her.
