As soon as Ammons brought him into the tavern, the place fell silent instantly. Those who had been drinking and laughing boisterously all bowed respectfully to Ammons. Ammons nodded, and then the tavern keeper himself came down. Although respectful, he wasn't as terrified as the other demons, which indicated that Ammons was a regular here.
The tavern keeper led Ammons and Charin upstairs to a more spacious and quieter area, which was also cleaner. After Ammons motioned for Charin to sit across from him, he tapped the menu on the table with his index finger and said, "Order whatever you like. There are also human foods here. Of course, they're definitely not as good as those cooked by the chefs in the king's palace. Just make do with them."
Charin nodded. After going through the menu, he ordered a glass of juice, a serving of roasted potatoes, and a serving of roasted rabbit. In this era, although there were not enough seasonings, roasted food should taste better than those cooked by other methods.
It turned out that it was indeed more delicious than the food in the count's mansion, but it was still no match for the dishes made by the demon lord's cooks. During the meal, Ammons ate quietly and gracefully. Charin felt awkward being with this stranger... well, demon. He didn't say a word and just buried himself in his food. As a result, he ate too fast. By the time he finished, Ammons was still chewing slowly.
Unable to bear the silence any longer, Charin tentatively asked the red - haired demon, "May I ask you some questions?"
The red - haired demon looked up and replied indifferently, "You already have."
Well... it seemed that this was a rather hard - to - get - along - with demon. Did he also discriminate against humans? Was it only because Charin was the demon lord's favorite that this demon was suppressing his contempt?
"Then can I ask?" After realizing that this demon probably didn't like him, Charin decided to be bold. Anyway, if you hate me, I won't try to curry favor with you. Although I'm human, I don't admit that I'm inferior to you. And now I'm still close to the demon lord, so you won't dare to do anything to me. In that case, let's just keep this cold and distant relationship.
With these thoughts in mind, Charin asked again, "I'd like to know what kind of demon the demon lord is. What does he like and what does he dislike? Can you tell me? Of course, it's okay if you don't want to. I'm just asking!"
The red - haired demon swallowed the last bite of his food, wiped his mouth, stared at Charin for a moment, and said, "Just asking? You clearly want to know!" He criticized seriously.
Ah... He really couldn't get along with this red - haired demon. Could he apply to be accompanied by another demon next time?
"The demon lord is an extremely powerful being. Even when the previous demon lord was in power, he had already established his authority in the demon realm through his strength. Although the outside world says that the demon lord is cruel and cold - blooded, he is actually fair in rewards and punishments and won't kill indiscriminately. As for what he likes, the demon lord likes power and leisure. He dislikes paladins, ignorant human heroes, and... In short, I can't answer this question completely. You'll have to discover more on your own!"
Hearing this, Charin joked, "Maybe I won't even have the time to get to know the demon lord before he devours my soul!"
The red - haired demon stood up. "You... are different from other humans..."
Charin was confused. "Different in what way?"
The red - haired demon didn't answer this question. Instead, he walked forward while telling Charin to follow. "Come on. Let's continue to explore other places!"
