While walking through the desert, Demolus saw some people traveling in the direction of the dungeon. The people he saw were wearing so little clothing, even Demolus was amazed. The men were wearing white loincloths, while the women were wearing thin, almost see-through tops that covered their breasts. If one looked closely enough one could see the outline of their nipples. The ladies also wore short skirts or shorts that covered up their lower body parts.
Demolus could tell that they were some sort of caravan moving in the direction of the tower. He didn't really care for them, but when he looked at his own clothes, he was wearing a black t-shirt, black pants, and black shoes. and he was in a desert. Now he realized that he will stand out if he wears clothing of this color in the desert, even though he didn't feel all that hot even while directly under the sun.
Demolus took out some more light-colored clothes from his inventory and changed into them. After changing, he was wearing a white t-shirt, light blue pants, and instead of shoes, he decided to go barefoot. He could feel the warm sand with his feet, as he continued walking.
While enjoying the occasional breeze, Demolus continued to walk in the direction of the dungeon. Of course, he could have just used his wing to fly right to the dungeon, but Demolus decided to enjoy his journey while he could, and decided not to hurry too much. While walking he saw caravans in the distance all going in the direction of the tower, which made Demolus think whether there was a town near the tower.
He continued to travel as he was thinking about the dungeon and what kind of Djinn he might get. while thinking he didn't notice as he passed all the caravans that were going in the direction of the tower. And soon he stood in front of a city that was built by surrounding the dungeon tower. Seeing the city Demolus could see gold, and jewel merchants, making him want to just rob the guys, well they were just there in the open selling valuables, like they were apples or something.
But Demolus decided not to do so, for now, at least. He could just walk around this place and find some information about this place, and where he was, before entering the tower. Demolus walked towards the closest food stall he could find, so he could ask some questions about this place. And the stall he went to was selling some sort of grilled meat that Demolus decided to try.
"Hello there." He spoke while a woman who was standing behind the counter, stared at him, with a light blush on her face. But the moment Demolus said something the woman managed to realize what she was doing as her blush deepened.
"Ah, yes...how handsome…I mean….how can I help?" She panicked as she spoke the first word that came to her head.
"That's alright, but I wanted to ask you about this place, and maybe try some of what you're selling too." He said while smiling.
The smile made the woman blush even harder, but she managed to speak somehow. "Ah, you can ask me anything….And you can have this one….on the house." She said while giving him, skewer with grilled meat on it.
"Thank you, anyway, why is there a city around this tower?" Demolus asked, as he took the skewer, and looked at the tower that was reaching towards the sky.
"Oh, that's because there are many people who tried to counter the dungeon, but even now no one was able to do it. And because of that many people from different places come here, so they could try their hand in clearing it, or those that want to see the one who will conquer the dungeon." The woman explained. "And then there are merchants that come here to sell, or to show their influence so that if one the dungeon was cleared, they could try, and rope him into helping them expand in the future." She said while grilling some more meat.
"I see, then why are you here? I can tell from how you're dressed that you aren't here just to sell meat sewers." Demolus said, while taking a bite of the meat, that he was given.
"Well, I can't tell you why I'm here, but I can tell you one thing, though you might not believe me, but, I can feel when a dungeon will be conquered. It's like whenever a dungeon was about to be cleared I had this feeling that I needed to go there. And that's why I'm here." She said with closed eyes, as she was scared that Demolus would call her crazy or something.
"I see, well you seem to have a remarkable ability, to actually be able to tell when a dungeon is about to be conquered." Demolus said while smiling.
"Huh…..you…believe me?" She asked while her voice trembled a bit.
"Yes, after all, I came here to conquer the dungeon. If someone who has cleared a dungeon before heard of you, they would undoubtedly have some doubts, but if you were able to prove your abilities. You would be someone very valuable in the eyes of many." Demolus explained, while smiling.
"By the way, my name is Demolus, I'll see you later." He said before walking away, leaving the woman in a daze.
"Yes, let's me again!" She shouted while looking at his back, which seemed to be getting further away by the minute. But the moment he was out of her sith, she felt a bit empty, she had a desire to meet him again.
Demolus, on the other hand, was walking towards the tower with a big smile on his face, he was wondering what kind of metal vessel he should use.
