Knowledge

As I was walking toward the town I sensed a single cart coming up the path behind me and decided I would talk to this person about what happened in the year I was gone.

…

"Hey you, the one driving the cart." I wasn't too worried about being drenched in blood it isn't to abnormal in the demon kingdom, especially if you were walking the roads "Yes? Can I help you lad?" The man was old and and had a smile on his face he had grey hair cut short and had one horn on his forehead along with his three brown eyes.

"Yes, could you tell me about any major happenings last year?" I said while trying to wipe the blood off my face. "Of course lad it's no problem hop in and I will fill you in." The old man said while smiling,I was quite suspicious that he didn't question me about not knowing anything that happened last year but shrugged it off.

"Ma'am we don't see any signs of the demon who caused this mess." A woman wearing a tight black suit and a black haired ponytail along with a horn on the right side of her fore head with a mask said to a woman while kneeling.The woman in question was wearing a black dress covering her voluptuous body with a veil covering her face.The woman had lavender colored hair and vibrant pink eyes.

"Interesting… did you find out what happened?" The woman asked with authority "Yes ma'am, we know these were a group of bandits that were about to be hunted by the knights. They seem to have ambushed the wrong person and were all killed at the same time, without noticing based on their expressions." The woman in the tight suit said dutifully to the woman in the dress.

"Person?" The woman asked, curiosity obvious in her voice "Yes it was one person ma'am." responded the woman while kneeling."Hmm what about a rank estimation?" Asked the woman in the dress "We can't say for sure but the bandits were all dregs while the leader was a demonling

so he was at least a very strong demonling." Said the woman kneeling

"No, I can see the residual aura he was at least a true demon." A woman said while appearing next to the one kneeling while doing the same. "A true demon? There were still some we didn't know about huh." The woman in the dress said without reacting to the sudden appearance of the woman.

"So there is a new piece on the board.Let's see if that one piece will change anything hahahaha!" The woman laughed while turning around and disappearing "sigh young miss is still in that phase huh?" The woman who just appeared said while standing up.

"Yes it would seem so." The woman with a black ponytail said before disappearing as well."I can't wait to tease the young miss's sister about this." The other woman in black left while giggling.

"Where are we?" I asked the coachman with more suspicion. When I asked the coachmen a question while on the road he would just say 'not yet' and ignore me.Eventually he brought me to a market place after moving through many slums. "We, my lad are at the black market!" The old man said with some enthusiasm "we're where?" I asked a little shocked not expecting to be dragged to the black market when I only wanted to ask questions to an old man.

"The black market! You said you wanted information right?Well here we are the information center of the demon kingdom!." The old man replied "I just wanted to know important events that happened last year sigh." I sighed a little tired from talking too much with this man.

"Oh… well too late now! Hahahaha" The old man said while laughing "Anyways this place has more info than that and you could sell the extra swords or ummm…" He paused as if to think about what to say to continue his sales pitch.

"I got it, it's fine I will remember this place thank you." I said while thinking about the other uses the black market had."No, thank you! If you ever need information you can't find elsewhere come to my shop and I'll give you a discount." The old man said with a smile "Well, I could use that last years events list." I said

"Oh yes, sorry I totally forgot." He said while scratching his nape "Here take this, a list of all the important things that happened in the demon kingdom last year on the house!" He said, suddenly enthusiastic again

"Thank you I will make sure to come to your store if I need information." I said thinking about the discount " hahaha please do I will be sure to remember your discount, have a good day sir." The old man waved while riding his cart down the road.

After he left I immediately flipped through the pamphlet and burned the pamphlet after finishing it.'Hmm, so we allied with the revolutionary army of the humans to help them with a coup huh.' I thought while walking somewhere to sell the swords I grabbed off the bandits and maybe buy some gauntlets for some defense.

'It seems we helped the humans as long as they help us fight the angels if they won.It doesn't seem to be a fair deal to the humans as they would have to go to war with the angels immediately after being weakened in the war with the coup.' Finally finding a shop where I could sell the swords I bought a regular pair of gauntlets and sold the swords.

Finishing my shopping I walked towards the town center to find an inn 'It seems the humans also helped us with their technology to build these stone roads and develop these towns faster.' I finished my thoughts while renting a room and falling onto the bed 'I wish I could just sleep and train without having to be bothered about this stuff.' I thought while my consciousness faded away and I fell into a deep sleep.
