Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Simon didn't know that Ye He had a personal panel that allowed him to directly see the properties and usage of special items like the Dragon Slaying Dagger.

So after the deal was done, he left with a happy look on his face, without noticing that Ye He glanced at his neck.

To use the Dragon Slayer Dagger, one needs "Belmont blood", not "Belmont bloodline".

For Ye He, as long as "Belmont" is alive and stays by his side, this small dagger can be used "casually".

What's even more "safe" is that Simon just told Ye He that two more "Belmonts" are approaching here.

Simon left Ye He's room and quickly walked out of the Continental Hotel, but he did not go far away. Instead, he turned and walked into the outer pub next door.

He came to a room on the second floor of the tavern, closed the doors and windows, then quickly took out a glass bottle from his pocket and poured the powder in the bottle into the room.

As the powder that glowed slightly in the air gradually dissipated, Simon confirmed that this room was not being monitored by anyone using monster-killing abilities, and he could now do whatever he wanted here safely.

Just in case, Simon chose to hide in the bathroom.

After sprinkling the powder again to make sure it was safe, he took out a folded piece of thin leather from his pocket and spread it out on the narrow bathroom floor.

He bit his finger and dripped his blood onto the leather. The blood quickly moved on the leather and slowly formed a sentence:

"How's it going? Did he accept it?"

Simon pressed his bleeding finger against the leather and used the wound to write on the leather:

"It went well, he accepted it, are you almost there?"

"I will arrive at the station after noon and be in front of you before evening."

"Well, be careful."

"You should also be careful when cooperating with that kind of person..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, the thin leather suddenly broke apart on its own.

It was as if an invisible force exploded within it, and in the blink of an eye, it automatically disintegrated into a state close to powder right before Simon's eyes.

Simon was not surprised by this situation. After all, the message he wanted to convey had already been delivered.

This [Phantom Beast Skin] does not produce any energy fluctuations and will not be hindered by any means to affect information transmission. It is originally a consumable item.

After flushing the powdery debris on the ground into the sewer, Simon returned to his room to rest, waiting for his family to arrive with peace of mind.

He would never know that Ye He had technologically advanced surveillance methods such as nanorobots. Everything he had just done was completely transmitted to Ye He's vision by Caesar.

"Arriving after noon? That means it's the nearest train? Hehe..."

Ye He looked downstairs and still used Caesar to convey his instructions for him.

The two monster masters from the Withered Manor quickly set off and met up with several shadow hunters who were already waiting in an empty room on the first floor of the hotel.

Together, they stepped into the vine cage made of plants. Before noon, they would be able to reach the train station at the border between the Laurent Empire and Angela State.

Don't get me wrong, Ye He isn't going to do anything to Simon's family.

On the contrary, in order to ensure that he could make good use of the newly acquired dragon-slaying dagger, Ye He sent these men over to secretly protect Simon's family.

...and other treasures in the hands of his family.

There are eight "Eight Kings of Eternal Night". Even if the three Eight Kings in the Lower City were appointed by Nora, the administrator of the Midtown City, it is enough to show that the Belmont family has at least 5-6 special treasures.

And since Simon dared to reveal the two treasures he possessed in front of Ye He, it is highly likely that he only had these two treasures.

The remaining treasures should be with his family members who are rushing here. This also explains why his family members did not come here on the first day Ye He arrived in Eternal Night City.

Simon Belmont, very smart.

He would rather let his family members take the treasures and leave Eternal Night City first, and he would stay here to make sure that "great things can be done" before he let his family members come over.

If something happened to me who stayed here, at least the Belmont bloodline could be continued by these family members who stayed away from trouble, and the important treasures would not be lost.

He had done his best given the circumstances and the information he had, and even Ye He had no more thoughtful advice to give him.

In the evening, the sun sets.

When the lights in the tavern facing the City of Eternal Night began to light up, many members of the expedition team who had rested for a whole day began to gather in the tavern, preparing to begin today's exploration of the City of Eternal Night after dinner.

Two ladies, dressed in the same outfit and with their curvy figures wrapped in hunter leather coats, also came to the tavern at this time.

When they pushed open the door of the tavern and stepped into the tavern together, many monster masters quickly noticed the arrival of the two strange women and began to salute them.

The looks they gave the two ladies walking briskly were varied, ranging from kind to malicious, from indifferent to particularly interested.

The two ladies behaved extremely calmly, as if they didn't feel that they shouldn't attract attention at all, as if they were already familiar with the complicated gazes in the pub.

They came to the bar of the tavern together, and one of the ladies, who looked older, asked the tavern owner behind the bar:
"Give me something to eat, preferably hot, and something to drink, preferably red wine."

"Grilled meat, toasted bread, fried bacon, mixed vegetable salad, two portions of each, and a bottle of red wine... new wine or old wine?"

The tavern owner was indeed an "experienced hand" who was brought here by Ye Helian along with the tavern owner. He received the two ladies very steadily.

"A new one will do."

"Right away, just sit anywhere."

After a while, a prostitute who worked part-time as a waitress in the tavern brought their dinner over and gave them a bill that surprised them a little:
"It's three pounds in total. Please enjoy it."

Three pounds for a dinner? It might be high outside, but here, it seemed incredibly low to the two ladies.

Of course, if they could only pay with the monster materials and other treasures obtained from Evernight City, the cost of this dinner would soar several times.

The older lady who had just ordered took out a five-pound note and handed it over. The waitress took the money and casually took out two pounds in change from her pocket.

The lady was somewhat surprised by her refusing to take the tip, but what was even more interesting was that she saw the waitress put the five-pound note into her own pocket instead of handing it back to the bar.

Is she the boss lady here?
The lady who saw the waitress sitting in the arms of another man immediately denied her thoughts. Her feeling just now was right. This waitress who looked not so serious was just a part-time prostitute. There were many women like her in this spacious tavern.

After the others had expressed their initial curiosity about the two ladies, they immediately put them out of their minds and paid no more attention to them.

There are fewer and fewer such "newcomers" these days, but there are still a steady stream of them. Most people are just judging whether these two "newcomers" are worthy of being recruited into their team.

It’s not that there are people who are not interested in these two tall and pretty ladies. For one thing, there are many prostitutes who are easier to approach in the tavern.

Secondly...those truly lustful guys had already been arranged by Ye He to be with the female ghosts of the Eternal Night City.

Most of these guys had "dates" tonight, and at most they just took a few more glances at the two ladies.

"Aunt, I have never come across a tavern like this before."

The younger lady couldn't help but say this to her and Simon's common aunt while enjoying her unexpectedly delicious dinner.

She was actually praising the pub, saying that she had never encountered a pub like this with "very good" overall quality outside.

"Because of that man, right? No one dares to offend him, let alone cause trouble under his nose."

Of course, their aunt was talking about Yehe, and in a sense, she was right.

but……

"Strictly speaking, I have never set any 'rules' here."

Ye He, who was sitting behind his aunt, turned his head and smiled at her:

"I don't care whether the people here give me face or not. It's just because they have a more suitable "place" where they can vent their dark desires."

What Ye He said was the truth. No matter what the members of the expedition team who had been active in Eternal Night City these days had done in Eternal Night City, no one would care about them once they left Eternal Night City.

The urge to burn, kill and loot is vented by the huge outer city of Eternal Night City. The desire to fight is provided by the monster residents. Another kind of fighting desire is provided by prostitutes and female ghosts.

Due to the special refresh mechanism of Eternal Night City, it would be difficult for these people to evenly fight over "unequal distribution of spoils". At worst, they could just divide it up again tomorrow night to make it even.

That's why the tavern in Yehe is so harmonious. There have been female monster masters who are more seductive than this aunt and niece, and even they have hardly been harassed by their companions.

Simon's sister's expression had already stiffened because of Ye He's appearance. She still had a mouthful of salad and bacon mixture in her mouth, and she couldn't chew or swallow it. She looked much simpler than Simon.

Simon's aunt tensed her back for a short while before forcing herself to relax.

She nodded to Ye He, then pointed to the dinner in front of her:
"Can you let me finish eating first?"

"Oh, do whatever you want. I won't take care of anything. Even if you demolish my pub, you just need to pay compensation according to the price. Look, that big guy over there did that a few days ago."

Ye He gave them a very kind smile, made a joke, and pointed to a tall monster user in the distance.

"I was drunk! And I paid for it!"

The man also raised his glass towards Ye He, and replied to Ye He with an embarrassed look on his face, which made many people in the tavern smile knowingly.

"As you can see, I remain neutral and don't cause any trouble to anyone. Oh, it's almost time. I have an appointment with a lady to visit the library, so I'll leave first."

After making the two "Belmonts" fully understand his "neutrality", Ye He looked at the time and stood up to leave the tavern.

Of course, the two "Belmonts" knew what Ye He meant by "visiting the library", and they looked at each other quickly.

"Mr. Ye He."

Simon's aunt stood up, deliberately called Ye He and asked him:
"Would I be qualified to accompany you to visit the library once?"

What I mean is... can I take you into the Eternal Night City Library and take a look there in person?
Ye He quickly understood her implication. He glanced at the hunter's hat on the other person's head, actually looking at the name on her head again.

"If you would like to change into a date outfit, Lady Sonia, I would be happy to do so, but I have an appointment tonight, so let's do it another day."

After calling out the other person's real name without any hesitation, Ye He turned around and left the tavern.

Everyone else in the tavern was looking at Sonia with mocking eyes.

The woman kept looking at Ye He's departing back until Ye He completely disappeared outside the door, then she sat back in her original seat.

"aunt?"

"Ignore him and eat dinner."

"Um……"

The aunt and nephew seemed to want to suppress the matter for the time being and discuss it after reuniting with Simon.

A waitress passed by her table and suddenly put a glass of beer in front of Sonia.

"You are the 36th lady in this tavern who has failed in a date with Mr. Ye He. Don't be sad. Including me, there are 35 other failures before you! Hehehe..."

The prostitute gave Sonia a smile that showed she had seriously misunderstood him, but Sonia had no intention of clearing up their misunderstanding and drank the beer silently.

If people like Ye He are not easy to attract bees and butterflies, then it can only be a problem of "bees" and "butterflies".

Overall, Sonia actually found that her first impression of Ye He was quite good?
It’s not that Sonia fell in love with Ye He at first sight, but the tavern owned by Ye He and the punitive team that developed wildly under his control...

And he took the deal with Simon to heart and took immediate action.

Everything seemed to be telling Sonia a message.

If they still want to lift the curse on their family's fate, perhaps this time with Ye He around will be the best opportunity their family has ever had to get closer to "success"!
"Newbie, are you interested in joining my team?"

Just when the aunt and niece finished their dinner, a woman who was dressed similarly to them and even had a plump figure than Sonia, suddenly sat down at their table.

"My team members are all among the thirty-five people in front of you. Of course, I am one of them. In my team, you will feel safe exploring Evernight City."

She pointed to the table where her teammates were sitting, but when Sonia looked over subconsciously, she saw several men there.
