The commercial streets in the western continent are more or less the same, but due to the invasion of us outlanders, some of the medieval-style buildings have been replaced by more modern-looking ones. For example, the nearby three-story small building with snowy white exterior walls, along with the magic neon lights hanging above the walls, looks like buildings from our world have directly crossed over! Really, don't these guys understand the concept of coordination? A bunch of ancient buildings sandwiched between modern ones, this sense of dissonance is unbearable for me. Oh well, let's not pay attention to it and focus on collecting my intelligence. With that in mind, I start wandering around the entire commercial district, searching for a bar called "Bermo." ... ................. Are you kidding me, Demon King? I can feel my mouth twitching, but after an hour of wandering, I still haven't found that bar called "Bermo." Could it be that it's underground? Just as I was thinking that, night has completely fallen. The street lamps on the side of the road light up, and the neon lights on the modern three-story commercial building also light up. ... My god! At this moment, I finally notice that the neon lights on that shop are actually in Chinese! Chinese! Chinese! It says "Bermo" in big characters! Are you joking with me? This name clearly sounds like a foreign name, and yet you made it into Chinese? And not just normal Chinese, but cursive script! How am I supposed to know that mess you wrote means "Bermo" in broad daylight? Oh well, it's no use fretting over it now, let's quickly gather intelligence and get out of here. There's no age restriction for drinking in this world, so naturally, no one will check your ID at the door to confirm your age. Stepping into the bar, a strong smell of alcohol hits me. Although I've had a drink before, I haven't actually had the alcohol in this world. It seems like that stuff can enhance combat power and critical hits, but it also decreases accuracy and the effects of healing potions. Unless it's some high-quality alcohol, the effects of this stuff are worse than just taking drugs directly. The light in the bar is very dim, with only a few small lights to make the bar look somewhat navigable. There seems to be music coming from upstairs, but there are already quite a few people sitting by the bar downstairs.

There's no need to take a close look, all the necessary information is directly displayed on the bartender's title, wearing a waiter's uniform behind the bar. I really have to thank the Demon King for this, aren't you afraid that someone who has traveled here from another world, someone with a strong sense of justice, will report you? Wait, this is a misunderstanding. Would someone with a strong sense of justice really come here? Probably not! That's right, this makes sense, I'm a genius! Oh well, let's not dwell on this question, gather intelligence, gather intelligence! I slowly approach the bar and find a spot with not many people to sit down. "Lieberth?" I think for a moment, then call out like this. "Oh~" The other person is a middle-aged man, and a human at that, but those purple eyes give off an uncomfortable feeling.
He stared at me for a long time, then smiled and took a black bottle from the shelf and poured me a glass.
"It seems like you were called by the boss," he said.
Hearing him say that, the person next to me glanced in curiosity, and then turned away.
"Don't mind them, these guys are just curious about why my store is so unique. Anyway, please follow me," he said, and walked away from the bar.
I quickly drank the glass of beverage and followed him.
Why did I drink it without hesitation? Because when I received the glass, I saw the element of the drink directly. It turned out to be an 【Elixir of the Undead】, which could enhance the abilities of undead creatures. And it was a rare item. Is it really okay for me to drink it so directly?
We walked into the stairwell and he walked up to a wall and tapped on a painting hanging on it. The space shook and the wall turned into a door.
Then immediately opened.
After the door opened, the space inside was unusually large.
Surprisingly, a room about the same size as a classroom appeared before my eyes! It was completely different from the outside... Could it be compressed space?
The door slowly closed and the person turned to me.
"The Devil Lord said that if someone can see through my true name and drink the 【Elixir of the Undead】 without having a gray color on their body, then they are the one... A human of the undead race, huh? Quite rare. Oh, please don't misunderstand, I don't mean to pry. If you have any questions, please ask."
"First, evaluate the abilities of the Royal Guard in terms of mercenary rank."
"B-rank mercenaries."
"Then, the power held by the prince and princess."
"The prince has control over half of the country's knight corps, while the other half is in the hands of the king. The princess possesses half of the country's magical forces, while the other half is in the hands of the king."
"So it's half and half? It's complicated."
I nodded and then looked at him.
"What exactly is hidden beneath Chelfa, and what is the king seeking?"
"Chelfa Kingdom is closest to the ancient ruins, and a part of the labyrinth can be accessed directly downwards. However, due to enchantment restrictions, the correct medium is needed to enter. Now the king has obtained the medium and is preparing to harness the power within."
"I see, it's the ancient ruins..."
I hope he doesn't obtain any troublesome powers.
"The king's weakness?"
"His own strength is not high."
"Haha, relative to you, I suppose."
"Isn't that the case for you too? Okay, that's enough. There's no more to say."
"Allow me to say one thing, you seem to want to overturn the situation in this country. If that's really the case, please enhance the influence of our hotel in this area. After all, we have already spent a lot of money to establish connections above," he said.
"Well... of course, that's not a problem."
I smiled.
"And I promise it won't be boring in the future."
