Chapter 691: How They Live Here
I found an inn and rest for a while. Or at least that’s what I led other people to think.
I’m still in my room, but I look around the surrounding area with my Divine Vision. Not to the point where I can see many things. Just little by little, the range of my vision increased when I think that it’s safe since the master level mage didn’t sense me looking at them.
From what happened last night during the raid, I only found two master level mages. One is a fire element master level mage, and the other is an ice element master level mage. And I think that there are more of them.
Since I know their appearance, as long as I can just look at their body, I can look at them without having them to notice me. That’s what I learned after sing Divine Vision on Patricia. With her permission to practice how much I can see master level mage.
By the way, looking through her clothes makes her instantly wary of me. More so than when I look into her eyes from far. That was an accident. Even if she’s far older than me, her appearance is not convincing and she’s not my taste with her appearance anyway.
Now, as long as I start checking on those people’s features before looking at their eyes, I can see if they are the master level mages I saw last night or not. Though I hope that I won’t meet other master level mages yet. As long as I didn’t see too much of their body.
The fire master level mage has a birthmark on his right knee and the ice master level mage wears prosthetic thumb on his left hand. I’m sure not many people have the same features. Knowing that the prosthetic thumb is signed by someone, probably the ice mage himself, and the birthmark of the fire mage is in the shape of pentagon.
.....
With that information, I started looking around starting from the inn. There are no one with those features and no one notices me looking at them.
Some are like me, staying at the private room in the inn. Some are in the shared room with other people.
But what about the crime rate in this place? Well, since they’re all related to the cult, everyone is a criminal. But I think those people feel safe here. Even if they are bringing cash with them and leave them behind in the shared room.
In our world, we used hunter card or similar cards that we can use to buy things. But we didn’t use it here. We need cash. And I easily stole some cash from under the rubble of the destroyed building so I can have some money to pay for the inn.
There are women as well here, but most of them are not powerful mages who left the base to look for monsters. Most of the women are here to entertain the men. Because it’s easier for them to get money than to look for monsters. And I think they are asked to do it so the men have more motivation to look for monsters.
With the circulation of money here, I’m sure that there are some people who frequently enter and leave this world. I’m sure that they are being protected by the master level mage as well. To make sure that the people here can still return.
I need to look for that place. And I will block their magic one by one.
Now that I have looked around the inn and rested for a while, I walked down to the bar in the first floor. It’s noon but people have started to get drunk. It’s easier to get information from them when they’re drunk.
I walk into the bar and order a rather cheap drink and snacks. I don’t think there will be anything appealing here.
The bar is quite crowded, but I can still get a table for myself. It seems like even though there’s no rule here, everyone is quite good with their manner. Some even ask me politely if they can sit at my table when all the tables are taken.
It’s just two men. A black-haired man and a bald man. And at first, I was just focusing on my own snacks. But they started to chat. I can hear them clearly.
“It’s been a while since I came here again. I have enough money to go back to my home and spent my days happily with my wife and kids for a while,” the black-haired man said.
“But your wife never knows that you’re in another world playing around with other women! Hahaha!” the bald man laughed.
I guess other than being with the cult, they live just like any other people. Have a wife and children. And also cheat on his wife while pretending it to be a business trip. Though I won’t do it. After all, I got permission to get a harem.
“It’s nice, you know? When I got bored here, I can go back home and pretend that I’m a good husband. When I’m tired with my wife, I can come here and play around however I like. Unlike those newbies who can’t even make a living here,” the black-haired man said.
“You keep talking about that. How about we talk about last night’s attack?” the bald man asked.
“Why should we talk about it? Everyone is talking about it. I’m tired of it.”
That’s right. No need to talk about what everyone is talking. If they want to do it, the should have picked another table instead of here.
The black-haired man, in his drunken-state, started talking about things that the bald man seem to know already. Because the black-haired man keep talking about it when he’s drunk.
He said that making a lot of monsters tamed in this world gives him a lot of money. Especially the stronger ones. But this guy keeps hunting for weaker monsters so he can survive.
Those monsters then exchanged with money. That money then used by him to play around here. And he also saved some for his family back in human world.
He said that he’s telling his wife that he’s going on a business trip. Though it’s not really a lie since he’s working here.
And once he’s tired of this world, he will return back to his home bringing a lot of money.
And that means we can go back and forth to this world easily. Only things needed is to pay the summoners for a toll to open a portal.
“I have enough money now and I’m going back for a bit. Tonight they will open a portal near my home and I will go there,” the black-haired man said.

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll be returning tonight as well. Getting money here is easy. And I have enough to spend for a whole year at home now. I think I will stay there for a year before coming back here to get more money. Unlike here, in our world, there are more women. The women here never change at all. We should request for more women to be recruited,” the bald man said.
I don’t care about men or women. Since they’re all related to the cult, I will kill them all.
But it’s good. As long as I follow these two later tonight, I can find the summoners.
Once all summoners are gone, I can kill everyone here. Though I don’t think I can kill everyone right away since there must be some summoners who are staying in our world instead of staying here.
So they are free to come and go. While those who are threatened here were also free as long as they have enough money. But even if they leave this world and return after paying with money, they will end up somewhere the cult is operating. After all, that place they returned to must be secured.
I guess Albert didn’t ask everything. Or maybe those people he interrogated were too poor to make money to go back to this world. Though in the end I brought them back to their home world. Except instead of a house, they will live in a jail.
So far so good. No one is suspecting me of being a spy.
After those two are out from drinking too much, I started to listen to other people’s drunken stories. Most of them were about returning back to their world. And apparently, the girls who are here are mostly forced to come. And they can’t go back home unless someone is willing to pay for their return home.
There are also some people who are too weak and instead of going out to hunt monsters, they chose a job like carrying the supplies or something else. The supplies are being sent here from our world every night along with the people going home.
I guess most summoners will be there tonight then. But meeting them all will be difficult. I guess this mission won’t be easy.
