I ignored the fighting and decided to let them do as they please...given that they didn't kill each other of course. I wandered through the crowd with the diary and maps in my hand, searching for Paul so we could have a chat. After asking a few of the werewolves, I learned that he was over at the barbecue grill barbecuing the meat and I immediately headed over in that direction. There I saw Paul in a greasy apron tending to the grill and I could see a large slabs of raw meat placed on a table right beside him.
"Hey Paul!!" I shouted and he looked up at me.
"Oh Colin." He said while turning a slab of meat on the grill and then he looked at my hands.
"It seems you have found some useful stuff." He said
"Yeah I did, which why I wanted to talk to you. These two are maps detailing information on the cities and I was wondering if you you knew how Dracos got this information?" I asked while holding up the maps. He looked at them for a while before piling up barbecued meat onto two plates.
"Sheila, take over the grill for me, please!!" He shouted while taking off his greasy apron and one of the female werewolf cubs walked over and took over the grill for him.
"Let's go somewhere quieter." He said while carrying the plates of meat, we decided to go to the second floor and with our superhuman speed, we arrived in less than a minute. We sat on a bed and he handed me one of the plates and the tantalizing smell made me realize how hungry I was.
"I didn't see Dracos creating those maps, but I suspect that he was given the information by someone from one of those little guys from the house of Greed." He said, after devouring a chunk of, confirming my suspicion, although I didn't know what he meant by the reference 'little guys'.
"What do you mean by 'little guys'?" I asked after swallowing a chunk of meat.
"A few days ago, before I evolved into a werewolf, Dracos brought me and a few others into the forest forcing us to carry these bags full of metal ores. They eminated the same aura as a demon would and he referred to them as cursed ores. Inside the forest, he met up with this short guy with green eyes and pointy ears. After a brief argument, something about the little guy having to give him something I'm return for the ores, Dracos gave the little guy the ores and in return he was given a black box that just appeared out of nowhere. After taking the bags over his little shoulders, he simply disappeared along with the bags and I couldn't even smell his scent anymore." Paul said with a contemplative look on his face as he recalled the events. I also thought about what he told me while occasionally eating slices of barbecue.
'That guy must be a Demon subspecies that I haven't seen before. Judging by how he said the little demon just disappeared, he must have a powerful stealth skill...or trait. He is definitely one of the bastards spying on us.' I thought while narrowing my eyes
"What about this black box, where is it now? I asked
"I never saw what was inside. Didn't you find it inside the penthouse?" He turned towards me and asked. I shook my head in response and thought back to the Dracos Black's room. I had used [Aura Vision] to search the room before leaving but I didn't sense anything out of the ordinary.
'Maybe he was given a mundane item with no aura.' I thought doubtfully
"Well there is nothing we can do about that, let's go back outside and enjoy the celebrations, oh fearless leader." Paul said and left the room. I shrugged my shoulders and followed after him.
