I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“This isn't a threat, it's a negotiation.” Mustafa tapped the table, and Weisman and Norton walked to the table, standing behind him.

“You speak of many hypotheticals, and I also know that if you were such a criminal, you wouldn't want to be hunted by the Cleaners.” Mustafa leaned back slightly, as if the negotiation had officially begun.

Mustafa was right about this point. Li Yue really didn't want to provoke the Cleaners or the New Church.

But that was days ago.

Now that only the Church hasn't been lit up in the entire Iron Mine Town, Li Yue's desire to stay in Iron Mine Town isn't as strong.

“Is that what you think too?” Li Yue raised his head and asked Norton.

“Maintaining the security of the Five Towns is the duty of us Cleaners.” Norton's answer was rigid, and his gaze met Li Yue's, suddenly his tone softened a little.

“If everything is as you hypothesize, then perhaps we can be frank and have the opportunity to cooperate better.”

“A hidden criminal, a merchant guild, and a Cleaner… this is already a very powerful force in the Five Towns.” Mustafa continued to persuade, “Moreover, we are only maintaining cooperation at the appraisal level for now, a friendly relationship.”

“That way, if there are big deals in the future, we won't miss them.”

Han Shan was observing the situation from all sides, and was very pleased to see the light of the New Church gradually spreading throughout Iron Mine Town.

Do you even have the qualifications to negotiate with me?

Mustafa also felt the pressure, which is why he wouldn't let Weisman leave easily.

Han Shanyuan was shocked.

“Want to die?” Before meeting the Corpse Gathering Demon and the Paper Mask, Weisman didn't have much awe for the demons of that world, but he didn't plan to be stopped by such a small horse.

Weisman was too lazy to consider the effect of Wei Li Yue's relic, he only knew that that person was dead, dead beyond dead.

After a few simple exchanges, only Norton was left in the shop to act.

“Ding!”

While Weisman was ending two lives, he was also assessing the comparison of combat power between himself and Gamma.

On the verge of death, Mustafa only had one disbelief.

“Wait a moment, don't leave yet.” Weisman suddenly felt that this horse was a bit useful.

Norton retreated, while blowing the Cleaner's distress whistle.

The merchant guild's transport horse.

Is seawater.

So Weisman directly attacked.

Mustafa flipped two coins out from under his eyelids, blocking them in front of his eyes, and with a "ding" sound, scattered the iron nails.

Weisman knocked Norton away, his white armor instantly filled, and Norton coughed blood.

This brought a great shock to the three people—how could they start fighting when they were talking… not even giving them a chance to bargain?

Mustafa's head fell to the ground.

Norton didn't expect that Mustafa's accessories and the debts accumulated over these days… couldn't stop the traveler's sword.

The white horse was unsure what Han Shan wanted to do, hesitating whether to leave or not—even the water person Wei Li Yue was killed by him with one sword, who knows if he has a way to kill the transport horse…

The thin horse that was sleeping heard a "thud" sound, and then saw the reins that bound it break, and the horse pen also creaked and fell apart.

The white horse dragged a line of shadows and fled at top speed.

At the same time, Norton raised his hand to block the double nails, and his white sword slashed towards Weisman's sword-wielding arm.

The conclusion is… that's very unnecessary.

As if cutting on steel, Weisman's new clothes were cut open by Norton's sword, blood spurted out, and the wound was deep enough to see the bone.

What could cause a bigger stir than leveling a merchant guild branch and killing a Cleaner along the way?

Originally, Han Shan owed Han Shanyuan a lot of greetings and food, which was originally Han Shanyuan's bargaining chip, and also the confidence he had to face the traveler, but it was all wiped out by this sword…

[?]

When Mustafa had just started chattering endlessly, Weisman was already thinking about the possibility and necessity of killing them.

A handful of iron nails plus a sword, Han Shan tested the different mentalities of the three of them—none of them wanted to die too much, but they were caught off guard.

Norton needs Weisman alive, but his hands won't be spared.

Weisman shot a few more iron nails towards the joints of the white armor, which were blocked by Norton—this time Norton retreated directly, crashing through the small door and fleeing towards the town hall.

“But your negotiation skills are not very good.” Weisman spread his hands, and three iron nails shot straight at the eyes of Mustafa, Wei Li Yue, and Norman.

Weisman will never allow others to hold a handle on him—even simple cooperation will be constantly tested for limits, if he is forced to cooperate because of this matter, he will suffer in the future.

The white horse looked at the corpses and liquids on the ground, thought for a moment, and then moved its body to the side, making way, and was about to disappear.

Skinny was confused.

The transport horse was not afraid of Weisman's sword, but seemed to be more afraid of the shadow under his sword, neighed, and carried Weisman through the wall.

Weisman held the sword in his backhand and stabbed quickly, using clairvoyance and appraisal, aiming at the water-colored relic hidden in the water person's body, and pierced it with one sword!

“Take me to a place, hurry, or I'll stab you.” Weisman pointed the sword at the transport horse's neck.

Norton fled to the town hall, probably to meet up with reinforcements, and would be back in no time, there wasn't much time left.

Weisman raised his sword, pretending to chase, but was stopped again by a white horse.

A strong sense of unease welled up in Norton's heart—he had cut down many living people, but no one's hand felt like this.

Not like a person, more like a clockwork warrior…

Of course, Weisman had to maximize the advantage of going first. He ignored the sword that Norton slashed at his arm, and had no intention of dealing with the water that was pouring into his crotch, but instead spun the sword with one hand, directly cutting off Mustafa's head.

“Wait for me, come back and take me to a place.” Weisman ran to the street and shot an iron nail towards the stable of the Ironhorn Inn from afar.

At this moment, Norton could only continue to exert force and slash at Han Shan's arm.

Weisman had observed with clairvoyance that this should be the effect of a certain demon relic—Wei Han Shan had a stone with magical fluctuations in his stomach. When the double nails were poured into his eyes, the stone instantly seeped out a lot of liquid.

“Suspect in the Masked Society incident sighted…” Norton communicated with the Cleaners while fleeing.

Iron nails instantly entered Wei Han Shan's eye sockets, spurting out a puff of liquid, and the wet-haired old man transformed into a water person.

It can be seen that Gamma's pressure in the previous days should not have been so great, after all, he was only facing a wet-haired old man and two silly knights at that time.

Just when Mustafa felt there was hope for negotiation, Weisman attacked.

Not being coerced is one aspect, and on the other hand, Weisman needs a big event that can gather the attention of the New Church.

“Like Gamma, like the Epic.” Mustafa hinted.

“You keep running! Run to Copper Mine Town! Or I'll kill you!” Weisman drove the white horse.

Like a water balloon bursting, the entire store was filled with liquid, wet and salty.

“That's very wise…” Mustafa was about to speak, but an iron sword pierced his neck and slammed him straight into the wall behind him.

Mustafa's necklace, ring, and the accessories on his body were shattered by this sword, but they still failed to save his life.

A silent whistle sounded, and the Cleaners and soldiers in the town hall urgently assembled.

But that was all.

A big scene is coming, we have to speed up the progress…

Li Yue's appraisal was very accurate, which helped Mustafa increase his prestige in the Chamber of Commerce a lot. Many businessmen were already inquiring about what kind of magical appraisal item Mustafa had obtained.
