Chapter 99
Mart was next to Iristel, the two were sitting in an armchair each, Mart was still in front of the window of the vehicle, while the gray-winged officer from Zazel City was inspecting the demonic vehicle along with 3 other demons who were also wearing white uniforms with gold trim.
While inspecting, the officers got to look at the three maidservants, but never dared to look at Iristel, especially since over Mart now hovered 6 spiral tipped blades and five level five demonic wands, and although her expression seemed calm the officers had already seen different personalities in different visitors and knew from experience that among those who acted calm were the most sadistic and morbid.
The inspection only focused on the large places, in which a hidden demon could fit. When the minutes passed the gray-winged officer looked at Mart and said in a respectful tone:
-I thank you for your time, young sir, enjoy your time in Zazel City.
-It's your job, I understand. And thank you for the good wishes. -Mart said in a firm and polite tone.
When the inspector got out of the demonic vehicle he approached the Sitan warrior and said:
-50 gold coins per person. In total that would be 350 coins.
Sitan took out a small brown bag and handed it to the gray-winged officer and soon after the demonic vehicle moved forward again and they entered Zazel City.
Zazel City, was a majestic city, the commercial area of Damtes City was only a blade of grass next to a tree when compared. The buildings in Zazel City were luxurious, brightly colored and multi-story. The streets were white and the edges were painted with golden colors, on the other hand the sidewalks were black, all impeccable, as they used demonic magic to purify any impurities from the streets and sidewalks.
The demonic vehicle drove to a section with parking lots for luxurious demonic vehicles.
When they arrived, Mart got out and Iristel followed shortly after, he was wearing a dark red long sleeved shirt, black pants and wine colored shoes, all tailored; Iristel was wearing a beautiful black dress with red arrangements that fit her body elegantly.
The maids walked behind them; soon the warrior Sitan approached them, and Mart told him:
-Protect Miss Iristel at all costs.
Sitan nodded and followed them closely. He was surprised because it was the first time he was assigned to protect Mart Sevec, but he had heard everyone say that Mart was a temperamental and vicious young man who did not hesitate to offend. Sitan's first thought was that Mart had fallen under the spell of the succubus walking beside him.

As they walked the streets Mart asked the system in his mind:
"Have you detected Demon God energy?"
[Demon God Energy Detected: (10)]
"Ten forms of demon god energy. That sounds like a big problem. I must do some research. But first I must explore the city as a visitor would or I'll end up arousing suspicion if conspiratorial groups are found here," Mart thought as he looked at the commercial establishments, to see if he could find any of interest.
-Mart, do you like to go to different types of restaurants? Iristel said pointing to a restaurant called "Forbidden World", when they approached outside the restaurant, a brown-haired, beige-skinned, good-looking human wearing an elegant suit handed them some menus and they could see that they were selling human food. But Mart looked at the human attentively, as he was somewhat surprised to see a human working in demon territory, although shortly after he could see that the human had some kind of tattoo around his neck, Mart who had read a lot about demonic magic since he transmigrated, knew that it was a spell of enslavement.
"Human slaves in the land of demons, not something that surprises me too much, in all rational species there must be different types of people; but the problem arises if they underestimate humans," thought Mart, who shook his head and turned his attention back to the restaurant.
The three maids looked at the menus with distaste, the Sitan warrior just ignored it.
Iristel only seemed to be somewhat curious, as she knew that Mart had been to several different demonic restaurants in the commercial area of Damtes City. Mart put the problems aside for the moment, kissed Iristel who had pointed him to the restaurant and said:
-Sometimes you have to try new things, because even if they are not to your liking at first, that can change after you try it.
Iristel smiled mischievously and said:
-Yes, like what happened at the hospital, apparently you quite liked it.
Mart only smiled at the memory of that event, then he took Iristel's hand and they walked towards the restaurant.
The interior of the restaurant was luxurious, gray marble floors, white walls on which there were pictures with paintings of sinister landscapes, and a glass ceiling; they sat in translucent glass chairs in front of round tables covered with a golden tablecloth, shortly after a demon of purple skin, with two small white horns, black eyes, who wore an elegant suit approached.
-Here I offer you a more varied menu than the one we showed outside.
Mart didn't think much about it and said:
-bring me what the first sheet of the menu shows, throughout the week I will come to try the rest.
[Gluttony trait activated]
-For how many? asked the purple-skinned demon.
Mart looked at the three maidservants and they seemed to look down on the food, he understood it a little, as he thought that way about demon food when he had just transmigrated and was still trying to adapt to demon menus. Then Mart looked at Sitan and he shook his head.
-If you try it, I'll try it. -Iristel said to Mart.
-Food for two demons. -Mart replied.
As the purple-skinned demon walked away, Mart asked the system:
"System. Do you detect demon God energy in this restaurant?"
[No demon god energy detected].
"That's a relief," Mart thought.
A few minutes later when they brought three different plates of food for both Mart and Iristel, she was going to taste the food but Mart stopped her and he tasted a small portion of each of Iristel's plate to check, with the help of the gluttony trait, that there was nothing toxic in the food.
-Go ahead, you can eat. -Mart indicated.
Iristel, despite her mischievous and natural attitude when she was with Mart, could not help blushing when she saw how much he cared for her.
For the three maidservants and for Sitan it was also somewhat surprising to see the so-called infamous Mart Sevec, caring so much for the demon woman at his side.

"The food in the place is very good. But that place must still disappear in the future if it continues to employ humans or it will become a strategic point for humans to infiltrate the demon country" , Mart thought as he continued to observe the surroundings, which allowed him to perceive a flow of demonic energy whose epicenter was a few streets away.
"Apparently the demons are heading towards that point. System, there is demon god energy in the direction the demons are heading?" asked Mart in his mind.
[Demon god energy detected: (02)]
-Nestia. Find out why the demons are heading in that direction? -Mart indicated to the maid with dull purple hair and purple horns.
The maid hurried to follow Mart's orders, and they walked around until minutes later she returned, and informed Mart:
-Young Master. Tonight there is going to be a small auction in which you will present some products that will be auctioned during the big auction this weekend.
"Sounds interesting, but for now I'd rather not draw too much attention, especially after hearing that there are two demon god power sources in that place," after some thought, Mart took out of his demonic bag a bag with 1000 gold coins and said to Nestia:
-Buy tickets, go to the auction with Zania, and tomorrow inform me what kind of products will be bidding at the big auction. If you need more coins inform me.
Nestia nodded and looked at the goat-horned demon named Zania and then the two walked away.
"Yes, I think it is more befitting of a noble, to send his servants to find out the things he wishes to know," Mart thought nodding to himself and then walked along with Iristel around until they saw a bookstore of demonic magic.
"This place would have fascinated Emy," thought Mart as they approached the bookstore that had an elegant facade, on which was a golden sign titled "Nine Infernal Circles".
••••
Nestia and Zania walked through the streets of the city until they reached the place where the people who were buying tickets for the small auction were gathered.
The small auction was to be held in one of the facilities of an imposing building with an eclectic architectural style.
As Nestia and Zania approached the entrance, a demon in a fancy suit approached them.
-Are you here to buy tickets for the lord you serve? -asked the elegantly dressed demon.
-No, the tickets are for us. Our lord wants us to watch the auction. -Nestia indicated.
-The general tickets are sold out, there are only tickets from 100 gold coins and up. -The elegantly dressed demon indicated with respect, since in Zazel City only those who had money to spend were allowed to enter.
-We will buy 2 tickets for 100 gold coins. -Nestia answered quickly.
And the demon of elegant suit guided them to the interior of the building, so that they arrived without problems to the place in which they sold the VIP tickets.
