Quoted By:
You consider going with the man, but Salazar won’t do anything that directly reveals your nature to the world.
That gives you a special leverage he will have to respect.
Going down to the first floor you find Mrs. Oakfell yelling at the man who came to pick you up.
She orders him to leave but he ignores her.
Approaching the table where he is sitting, you take a chair in front of him.
"Are you ready to leave?" she asks, the old woman awaits your answer in silence.
"I'm not going to accompany you."
the inquisitor's apprentice waits for a few seconds, waiting for the punchline.
and he sighs when he realizes you mean it.
"Salazar will be disappointed."
"And he knows I wouldn't accept, that's why he sent you."
"True, I think even if you don't talk to him there are things that-"
The monologue that was coming was interrupted by Mrs. Oakfell hitting him with a broom.
"You haven't heard! Get out!"
"Ma'am, this conversation is important!"
"I know what you are! gangsters corrupting the youth! Go away and don't come back! You are not wanted here!"
Little by little, the inquisitor's apprentice is losing ground
and several of the guests are awakened by the noise and begin to complain.
Neither you nor he wants to be caught by the night watch, but you have a room to hide.
He ends up running away from the scene, leaving you alone with your landlady.
"I saved you once, from now on, make better decisions with your life."
...
The morning came a little later for you.
You couldn't sleep much thinking if the inquisitor would send more people.
although the conclusion was that no.
if he hadn't done it already, it meant you were safe.
Ghal had already gone out to his partial job.
His hatred of parasites had led him to kill all the termites he found in the trees.
indirectly giving him an exterminator job, he was still unsure why he was getting paid, but it was something.
Going down the stairs you went to the bar to get some breakfast.
Everything was in routine.
Everything was well
There were many people around you, talking and eating.
You couldn't help but listen to what they were saying.
"You have heard that a demon has killed the mayor of a border town."
You almost choked hearing that.
Paying more attention was the only thing that was being talked about.
The empire had declared that a demon had killed one of his vassals.
and accused the elves of being behind this.
Borrowing a newspaper from the landlady, you began to read about it.
blah blah blah tensions escalate blah blah blah the inquisition investigates blah blah blah the demon is described as...
You
They are describing you
Your mind goes blank while processing the information.
Then it hits.
*THAT WAS METIS!* you scream internally
