In a tavern called the "Demon Den" on the southeastern side of Gawad City, Jia Xiu sat on the second floor with a little notebook on the table before him, filled with all sorts of information about the Unity Society. He pondered where he could find a breakthrough.
He had rented out the entire tavern to serve as both a base of operations and an experimental site for the coming period.
There was no particular reason he had chosen this place. He simply liked the name.
Calling a place a Demon Den in a land crawling with the Devil Race sounded pretty damn awesome.
According to the tavern owner, this was one of the best taverns in the city. Choosing it showed truly excellent taste.
But after asking more closely, Jia Xiu learned that there were only two taverns in the entire city. It was either first or second.
The Devil Race had no pressing need for housing. They sought places to stay in order to flaunt their status, or simply as a hobby. If they had no money, they could simply go without lodging.
As for merchants, to maximize profits, they chose to pitch tents. There were plenty of those around. Tourists drawn by the heavy flavors of sex, gambling, and drugs generally had places to sleep at those sorts of establishments.
As a result, there was very little demand for pure lodging, and having two such taverns was already no easy feat.
In fact, because it only provided accommodation services, despite being called the Demon Den, it was considered a "fresh and wholesome" business in Gawad.
Jia Xiu's experiment did not actually require such a large space. Elizabeth only needed to cast the spell while he captured the signal.
He had made such a big production of it
