I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"How do we do it then?"

"I know it's too late tonight, but don't worry, I can wait until tomorrow."

"The pay isn't much, but this way we'll both be happy..." Li Yue attempted to persuade the old woman.

"Releasing a commission requires paying taxes, and the longer the commission time, the higher the taxes. I simply can't afford it..." The old woman repeatedly waved her hands, looking distressed.

For a few silver coins, the old woman even colluded with 3 children to kidnap people to the mines...

Asking her to spend money was worse than asking her to die.

"Don't lie, I know you have money." Li Yue's eyes wandered intentionally towards the safe.

The old woman felt like he had seen through her.

"No, no, even if I agree, do you think the cleaners are stupid? Such an obviously invalid commission, they definitely won't register it for you without a bribe..." The old woman tried her best to dissuade him, "The bribe money is astronomical, my savings are completely insufficient..."

"And doesn't your horse need to eat grass? Where will you get the money to feed her without money..." The old woman spoke urgently, as if she had become a few years younger.

Crack-Gold Seven Towns has existed for so long, and some inevitable demands of course have long had solutions.

Completing it is not important; what's important is to be able to move freely at night.

"Fractured Construction Site... Ah, that's Holad's commission." The old woman was of course very familiar with the commissions on the board, and recalled it after hearing just a few words.

"Alright, alright..." Li Yue waved his hand, touched by the old woman's sincerity, thinking that he might have been rash.

"And he is an infidel, very opposed to the New Church, so he refused the New Church's help and chose to open a commission..."

Shu Chang was inclined to take on this D-level mission.

The three women were still unconscious, one of them seemed to have woken up once, her face pale, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, obviously she had struggled and then fainted again.

But the prerequisite was to have some understanding of the client, so as not to encounter any pitfalls.

The old woman was also very sleepy.

When the believers had passed by three times, the old woman finally couldn't wait any longer.

"There aren't many renovation workers in Iron Mine Town to begin with, and now no one is taking on the job, so I have to issue a commission..."

After looking for a long time, moonlight filled the streets of the shopping district, and occasionally a bright light swept from one end of the street to the other – this was a New Church believer wandering in the white night.

"Alright, remember to grab the needle and thread," Li Yue muttered, leading the old woman into the basement.

"Take it! You don't want to complete it anyway!" The old woman said angrily.

"Don't move, or don't blame me if you die." Li Yue pushed the old woman away and began to pull the nails out of the first woman, then sewed up the wound directly with needle and thread.

Searching for B-level missions involving cultists, A-level missions involving exorcisms at the Demon Mansion, checking D-level missions involving construction site fractures...

"Ooh..." The woman woke up slowly, very weak, with rotten cloth stuffed in her mouth, unable to make any sound.

Seeing the first woman's chest rise and fall, the old woman's emotions also stabilized somewhat.

Li Yue recalled that the reward for this commission was only 10 silver coins, as if it was prepared specifically for newcomers like Li Yue who were short of money.

"You can tell from the reward, right? Holad is very stingy." The old woman tried to keep her voice soft, so as not to interfere with Li Yue's hand sewing the wound.

"Holad?" Li Yue pulled the nails out of the second woman, stepped on her calf, and steadily sewed it up stitch by stitch.

"Needle and thread...?" The old woman picked up the needle and thread and followed quickly. As soon as she entered the basement, she smelled a pungent bloody smell.

"Then let's take on a commission... okay?" Li Yue turned his gaze back to the commission list.

"I heard that this residence was one he prepared to buy for his mistress, but when construction started, construction workers would always fracture bones at night..." The old woman talked about the cause and effect of the commission.

And Shu Chang had just finalized which commission to take when he was interrupted by the old woman.

"Awoo awoo awoo..." The woman was pulled out of nails and sewn wounds, of course it hurt so much, desperately screaming.

"Or... let me see your children first... okay?" The old woman begged.

"But it's a D-level mission, why hasn't anyone completed it yet?" Shu Chang fully realized that to judge whether a commission should be accepted, the first thing to consider is the reason it still exists.

"Then... if you were me, would you accept it?" Shu Chang asked the old woman.

It was handled very sloppily.

The woman couldn't move, and had to endure the urge to shout, very quickly covered in sweat.

Li Yue's own idea was of course to find a simple one with a long enough commission time to take.

"Uncle Shu Chang is a small mine owner in Iron Mine Town..."

It didn't affect anything, and it was good to ask about the situation while sewing.

The old woman mentioned a new hotel name, which Li Yue understood as Iron Mine Town's official cooperative hotel.

Sweeping back and forth for a long time, Li Yue didn't have a good idea of which one to take – there were many on the list involving night work, and they were all simply marked with estimated difficulty.

"How is it invalid? Doesn't the hotel need to attract customers at night?"

Li Yue originally thought his idea was good, and found a new demand for travelers and hotels – surely not everyone enters Iron Mine Town during the day, so wouldn't those who come at night directly violate the curfew?

"If I had the ability to receive guests at night, would the hotel be so empty? Would I still need to kidnap people to the mines? Would I be beaten like this by a traveler like you?" The old woman spoke the truth in her heart.

"I didn't use too much force, otherwise you wouldn't be able to shout now..."

"My children..." The old woman threw the needle and thread and pounced on her, screaming at the woman with the pale face, patting her face.

Li Yue could only start with this one first.

"Don't shout, or I'll have to kill you if you call someone over..." Li Yue's hands were neither tight nor slow, also surprised at his own psychological quality.

Sewing the wound was undoubtedly a new torture, but compared to life it was nothing, and the woman gradually stabilized.

"Guests at night are either members of the Chamber of Commerce, directly led by believers with light to the Chamber of Commerce, or they are all sent to the 'Iron Blade Hotel'..."

In just a moment, all the nails had been pulled out of the first woman, and the wounds were sewn neatly, just slightly oozing blood.

After taking care of the first woman, Li Yue piled her in the corner of the basement and began to deal with the second.

And Shu Chang had just finalized which commission to take when he was interrupted by the old woman.

"Awoo awoo awoo..." The woman was pulled out of nails and sewn wounds, of course it hurt so much, desperately screaming.

"Or... let me see your children first... okay?" The old woman begged.

"But it's a D-level mission, why hasn't anyone completed it yet?" Shu Chang fully realized that to judge whether a commission should be accepted, the first thing to consider is the reason it still exists.

"Then... if you were me, would you accept it?" Shu Chang asked the old woman.

Li Yue's own idea was of course to find a simple one with a long enough commission time to take.

"Uncle Shu Chang is a small mine owner in Iron Mine Town..."

It didn't affect anything, and it was good to ask about the situation while sewing.

The old woman mentioned a new hotel name, which Li Yue understood as Iron Mine Town's official cooperative hotel.

The other two also woke up because of the old woman's screams, and began to squirm.

The old woman's eyes were wet with tears, shimmering with a tearful light.

"Think about those innocent travelers who were sent to the mines by them, have they ever heard our cries?" Li Yue's iron nails were not thick, so the wounds were not very big, and sewing them up was quick.

It was a look mixed with hatred, fear, and incomprehension.

The old woman began to look at Li Yue with a strange expression.

"Oh… a big mine owner… no wonder he has money to issue commissions, and can drag the commission time out for so long…" Li Yue combined the logic mentioned by the old woman later to analyze the content of that commission.

Mainly, the level of the commission was very high, and relatively speaking, the commission time was also relatively long, which was suitable for Shu Chang to use to delay time.

It would be normal to lead them directly to the hotel…

Li Yue scanned back and forth for a long time, but couldn't decide which one to accept—there weren't many listings involving nighttime work, and they were all clearly marked with estimated difficulty.

"Tell me about the client for this Fractured Construction Site…" Li Yue continued the actions of pulling out nails and sewing up wounds, asking about the "Fractured Construction Site" commission.

However, when Shu Chang started, he aimed for the joints, so although the women stopped bleeding, they were still unable to move.

"How is it ineffective? Doesn't the hotel need to solicit customers at night?"

Li Yue originally thought that his idea was good, and that he had found a new demand between travelers and hotels—surely not everyone enters Iron Mine Town during the day, so wouldn't those who come at night be directly violating curfew?

"If you had the ability to receive guests at night, would the hotel be so empty? Would you still need to tie people up and send them to the mines? Would you be beaten up like this by a traveler?" The old woman spoke the truth in every sentence, from the bottom of her heart.

"I didn't hit too hard, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to scream now…"

"My children…" The old woman threw away the needle and thread and pounced down, screaming at the pale-faced woman, slapping her face.

Li Yue could only start with that one first.

"Don't scream, or if you attract others, I'll have to kill you…" Li Yue's movements were neither fast nor slow, and he was also surprised by his own psychological quality.

Sewing up the wounds was undoubtedly another kind of torture, but what was it compared to life? The woman gradually stabilized.

"The guests at night are either members of the Chamber of Commerce, who are directly led by the believers with light to the Chamber of Commerce, or they are all sent to the 'Iron Blade Hotel'…"

Only after a while, the nails under the first woman's body had not been completely pulled out, and the wounds were stitched up neatly, only slightly oozing blood.

After taking care of the first woman, Li Yue piled her up in the corner of the underground room and began to deal with the seventh one.

And Shu Chang had just decided which commission to accept when he was interrupted by the old woman.

"Aww…" The woman was being pulled out nails and having her wounds sewn up, of course it hurt beyond compare, and she howled desperately.

"Or… how about I let you see your children first… okay?" The old woman pleaded.

"But it's a D-level commission, why hasn't anyone completed it yet?" Shu Chang fully realized that to judge whether a commission should be accepted, you must first consider the reason why it still exists.

"So… if you were me, would you accept it?" Shu Chang asked the old woman.

It was handled very carelessly.

The woman couldn't move, and had to weakly endure the urge to scream, and soon her forehead was covered in sweat.

Li Yue's own idea was of course to find a simple one with a long enough commission time to accept.

"Earl Shu Chang is a big mine owner in Iron Mine Town…"

But it didn't matter, it was a good opportunity to ask about the situation while sewing.

The old woman mentioned a new hotel name, which Li Yue understood to be the official cooperative hotel in Iron Mine Town.

The other two also woke up because of the old woman's screams, and began to squirm.

The old woman's eyes were wet with tears, shimmering with a tearful light.

"Tell me about the client for this Fractured Construction Site…" Li Yue continued the actions of pulling out nails and sewing up wounds, asking about the "Fractured Construction Site" commission.

However, when Shu Chang attacked, he aimed for the joints. Although the women's bleeding was stopped, they were still unable to move.

"How is it ineffective? Doesn't the inn need to solicit customers at night?"

Li Yue originally thought his idea was good, finding a new demand between travelers and inns—surely not everyone enters Iron Mine Town during the day, so wouldn't those who come at night directly violate curfew?

"If you were capable of receiving guests at night, would the inn be so empty? Would you need to kidnap people to the mines? Would you be beaten up like that by a single traveler?" The old woman spoke truthfully, from the bottom of her heart.

"I didn't hit too hard, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to scream now..."

"Your children..." The old woman threw down the needle and thread and lunged forward, screaming at the pale-faced woman, slapping her face.

Li Yue could only start with that woman first.

"Don't scream, okay? If you attract others, I'll have to kill you all..." Li Yue's movements were neither fast nor slow, and he was also surprised by his mental fortitude.

Sewing up the wounds was undoubtedly a new kind of torture, but what did it matter compared to life? The woman gradually stabilized.

"Guests at night are either members of the Merchant Guild, directly led by the cultists with light to the Merchant Guild, or they are all sent to the 'Iron Blade Inn'..."

After a while, the first woman's nails hadn't all been removed, and the wounds were stitched roughly, merely oozing blood.

After dealing with the first woman, Li Yue piled her against the corner of the basement wall and began to deal with the seventh.

But Shu Chang had just decided which commission to accept when he was interrupted by the old woman.

"Aaaaaah..." The woman was having nails pulled out and wounds sewn, of course, it was unbearably painful, and she screamed desperately.

"Or... how about I let you see your children first... okay?" The old woman pleaded.

"But it's a D-level commission, why hasn't anyone completed it yet?" Shu Chang fully realized that to judge whether a commission should be accepted, you must first consider the reason it still exists.

"So... if you were him, would you accept it?" Shu Chang asked the old woman.

The treatment was very sloppy.

The woman couldn't move, and she had to forcefully suppress the urge to scream, soon her forehead was covered in sweat.

Li Yue's own idea was, of course, to find a simple commission with a long enough timeframe to accept.

"Earl Shu Chang is a big mine owner in Iron Mine Town..."

However, it didn't matter, it was a good opportunity to ask about the situation while sewing.

The old woman mentioned a new inn name, which Li Yue understood as the official cooperative inn of Iron Mine Town.

The other two also woke up due to the old woman's screams, twisting their bodies.

The old woman's eyes were wet with tears, shimmering with a tearful light.

"Think about those innocent travelers who were sent to the mines by them, haven't you heard our screams yourselves?" Li Yue's iron nails were not thick, so the wounds were not very big, and sewing them up was quick.

It was a look mixed with hatred, fear, and incomprehension.

The old woman began to look at Li Yue with a strange gaze.

"Oh... a big mine owner... no wonder he has the money to issue a commission and can extend the commission time for so long..." Li Yue combined the logic the old woman mentioned earlier to analyze the content of the commission.

Mainly because the commission's level was very high, and relatively easy, the commission time was also relatively long, suitable for Shu Chang to use to delay time.

It's normal to directly lead them to the inn...

Li Yue scanned back and forth for a long time, but couldn't decide which one to accept—there were quite a few on the list involving nighttime operations, and they were all simply marked with estimated difficulty.

"Tell me about it, the client for this 'Fractured Construction Site' commission..." Li Yue continued the action of pulling nails and sewing, asking about the "Fractured Construction Site" commission.

However, when Shu Chang attacked, he aimed for the joints. Although the women's bleeding was stopped, they were still unable to move.

"How is it ineffective? Doesn't the inn need to solicit customers at night?"

“The guests at night are either members of the Chamber of Commerce, who are directly led by the believers with light to the Chamber of Commerce, or they are all sent to the 'Iron Blade Inn'…”

Just a moment later, the nails under the first woman's body had not yet been completely removed, and the wound was stitched up haphazardly, just barely closed and still oozing blood.

After finishing with the first woman, Li Yue piled them in the corner of the basement and began to deal with the seventh.

And Shu Chang had just decided which commission to accept when he was interrupted by the old woman.

“Aww… Aww…” The woman was being pulled out of nails and having her wounds stitched, of course, it hurt so much that it could not be more, desperately howling.

“Or… how about letting you see your children first… okay?” the old woman pleaded.

“But it's a D-level commission, why hasn't anyone completed it yet?” Shu Chang fully realized that to judge whether a commission should be accepted, one must first consider the reason it still exists.

“Then… if he were you, would you accept it?” Shu Chang asked the old woman.

The treatment was very hasty.

The woman couldn't move, and had to desperately suppress the urge to shout, soon her forehead was covered with sweat.

Li Yue's own idea was of course to find a complex one with a long enough commission time to accept.

“Uncle Shu Chang is a big mine owner in Iron Ore Town…”

But it didn't matter, it was a good opportunity to ask about the situation while sewing.

The old woman mentioned a new inn name, which Li Yue understood to be the official cooperative inn of Iron Ore Town.

The other two also woke up because of the old woman's scream, twisting their bodies.

The old woman's eyes were wet with tears, shining with tears.

“Think about those innocent travelers who were sent to the mine by them, haven't they heard our screams before?” Li Yue's iron nails were not thick, so the wound was not very large, and it was quickly sewn up.

It was a look mixed with hatred, fear, and incomprehension.

The old woman began to look at Li Yue with a strange look.

“Oh… a big mine owner… no wonder he has money to issue commissions, and can drag the commission time so long…” Li Yue combined the logic mentioned by the old woman earlier to analyze the content of the commission.

Mainly because the commission level was very high, and relatively speaking, the commission time was relatively long, suitable for Shu Chang to use to delay time.

“My children…” The old woman threw away the needle and thread and rushed down, screaming at the woman with the pale face, patting her face.

Li Yue could only start with that one first.

“Don't shout, if you call someone else, I will have to kill you…” Li Yue's hands were neither tight nor slow, and he was also surprised by his psychological quality.

Sewing up the wound was undoubtedly a new kind of torture, but compared to life, what was it? The woman gradually stabilized.
