Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

Chapter 463 Something Strange Part 1

"The food here is not bad." I couldn't help but feel strange eating things like cockroach stir-fry and maggot pasta.? It sounded nasty, but after examining them with my system, I noticed that they were quite nutritious. I am not sure about how they were on Earth, but here, they were pretty good. Just looked ugly.

"Yes, it is unique…." Grace seemed to have mixed feelings, though.

"We should bring the others here next time. They will freak out." I could see Adel's face when I handed her a squirming pile of maggot pasta. It would be very interesting, that is for sure, to see how she would react.

"I actually think Miss Adel will find it novel," Grace replied as she took another bite of her food.

"What is this, Miss Adel stuff? Grace, you are now engaged to me along with Adel. This means you do not need to call anyone by their title. You are my wife and also Adel's wife. We are marrying each other." While I was the main wife. I also wished for the girls to be very close. This was how we could always stay harmonious.

"Sorry. Force of habit." Grace blushed slightly. She was starting to show more emotions finally.

"It's fine. I am just glad we will always be together." I reached out and wiped some sauce from Grace's cheek before licking it off my fingers. Grace was very cute.

We finished our meal and looked around more. The town was very secure. There were many guard stations, and each one had three guards inside. Whether it be zombies or skeletons, they were all here protecting a town filled with people who came here as refugees.

"It's already getting late." I looked up at the darkening skies. "Let's head to an inn."

"Okay." Grace nodded and slipped her hand into mine. I smiled and walked hand and hand with her as we made our way through the streets to one of the inns in town. This one was recommended to us by a food stall owner.

We had just walked through the door when we heard yelling. "What do you mean it will cost me fifteen silver to stay here!?"

"Hmmm?" I looked over to see a burly human man standing there, staring down the young man behind the counter.

"Sir, We rarely get guests as it is. We mainly only live off our earnings from the bar. As for rooms, they will be expensive no matter where you go in town. In all of the citadel, only this town has the highest prices since we rarely get anyone staying here. The merchants all have homes here. If you do not wish to pay these prices, I can only tell you to go to the next town, which is three days away." The young man was quite calm as he spoke. It seemed he was quite used to these kinds of situations.

"Bullshit! Who the hell will pay such…." Of course, I did not plan to sit around while this man complained.

"Can I get a room please?" I asked as I walked over.

"Prices of rooms are fifteen silver." The young man repeated the price.

"No problem." I did not hesitate to take out fifteen silver and hand it to the young man. He turned around, grabbed a key off the wall, and handed it to me.

"Your room is on the second floor all the way to the end. It is the quietest room." The young man said as she smiled and pointed towards the stairs next to him.

"Thanks." I took the key and walked towards the stairs with Grace in tow. But as I stepped on the first step leading upstairs, I turned and looked at the man who seemed to be seething in anger. "Just so you know. What he said was correct. This is an outskirts town. Not many people come this way, and it is very rare to get outside visitors. This is why there are only three inns in town. And each is more than any inn in this kingdom."

"You! Shut your trap!" The man seemed blinded by anger as he roared at me. I just ignored him and continued to climb the stairs.

I could still hear the man downstairs complaining, trying to get a lower price. Why he was so hell bent on trying to lower the price, I do not know. I do know that it seemed strange that this man was even here. The guards had said that Grace and I were the only visitors for a while. There is also only one entrance to this kingdom. "Grace, send a probe downstairs and lock on to that man. I think something is fishy about him."

"Understood." Grace waved her hand, and a small object appeared in front of her. It turned invisible as it flew away. The probe was a special kind of summoning magic that Grace was able to do. It allowed her to connect to the probe and see and hear everything it did. It is basically a broken skill for spying. In any case, it will work out well for this situation.

We entered our room and locked the door. Grace quickly waved her hand, creating a receiver type probe that could connect to the other probe using Grace's mind. With the two linked, I could see and hear what was going on as well.

"Damn it! That bastard!" I heard the man shout. He was already back out on the streets of the town. He was walking towards the exit.

Grace and I watched as he completely exited the town and began walking towards a dead forest that had many high rocky areas. It was covered in dead trees and foliage, but it was also a nest for monsters as well. "Why is he going there? There are many other spots he could have gone, but why here? This just does not make sense…."

I was truly confused. Of all the places to go to spend the night, why this forest?
