In the Abyss, within Fallen City,
this was the place where the demon race indulged in its most extre revelry, and also the location of the [Umbra Club].
Aside from natives of the Abyss, outsiders could only enter this city-state with an [Umbra Club Invitation].
The city was undeniably magnificent, but its magnificence was nothing like that of the human capital.
Rather than magnificent, it would be more accurate to say it had an extrely distinctive style.
Every corner of Fallen City exuded a strong atmosphere of decadent temptation.
Here, all living beings seed to have fallen into a kind of depraved frenzy, shalessly doing whatever they pleased without regard for anyone around them.
Caelan even saw an elf continuously receiving the "baptism" of a succubus.
The entirety of Fallen City was steeped in madness and corruption, yet hidden within that corruption was also a faint trace of order.
Many demon races ran businesses here in Fallen City. So operated casinos, while others ran brothels. As long as you had enough origin stones, you could even find "goods" of different races and different styles here.
Caelan even spotted dwarves and fishn, though he had no idea who would be into sothing that exotic.
Dwarves were one thing, but the appearance of fishn had already gone beyond the limits of Caelan’s understanding.
Fishn and rfolk differed by only one word, yet they were two completely different races.
Fishn had the head of a fish and the legs of a human.
rfolk had the head of a human and the tail of a fish.
The "rmaids" from Caelan’s mories were actually rfolk, not fishn.
What Caelan could not understand, however, was why fishn would work in the sex trade.
Did that really make any sense??
The succubus owner of the pleasure house seed to sense the deep suspicion in Caelan’s eyes, so she walked up with a smile and said,
"Honored guest, this must be your first ti visiting our fallen city-state, yes?"
"If you would allow , I’d be delighted to introduce our establishnt’s signature service. That’s right—just as you can see, our specialty is fishn. You should know that fishn are an extrely rare race. In all of Fallen City, only our shop offers fishn services!"
"You may be wondering why fishn, ugly as they are, could possibly beco the main attraction of our shop?"
Even Evelyn, who had absolutely no interest in such things, could not help showing a little curiosity in her eyes when she heard that question.
After all, she understood the existence of such establishnts, and she also understood the importance of beauty.
But fishn were so ugly—who in their right mind would want their services??
Caelan was equally baffled. He had no idea what the owner’s reasoning could possibly be.
But then the succubus owner smiled sweetly, raised one finger, and waved it lightly in front of Caelan.
"My honored guest, fishn are indeed unbelievably ugly, but I guarantee you—their mouths offer an absolutely earth-shaking experience. You must not miss it!"
Evelyn looked completely lost, not understanding what the succubus owner ant at all.
Caelan, anwhile, twitched at the corner of his mouth and imdiately pulled Evelyn aside.
"Co on, let’s go look sowhere else!"
Evelyn still looked utterly confused as she obediently followed along beside Caelan.
But the doubt remained written all over her face. After hesitating for quite a while, she finally asked in a small voice,
"Caelan... could you tell what the shop owner ant just now? Why couldn’t I understand it at all??"
Caelan froze for a mont, then wore an odd expression.
"Um... are you sure you want to explain it to you??"
Evelyn looked at Caelan in surprise, then said,
"Of course. Our teachers always taught us to ask questions when we don’t understand sothing. So, Sir Caelan, please enlighten ."
"Well... all right then!"
Caelan thought for a mont, then explained it to Evelyn in the simplest language he could manage.
And then he watched as a blush spread across Evelyn’s cheeks, creeping all the way to the tips of her ears.
She shot Caelan a sidelong glance full of feminine charm, her voice tinged with both shyness and confusion.
"So you boys actually have tastes like that... honestly..."
Caelan spread his hands helplessly. He had been about to change the subject when Evelyn suddenly blinked her big eyes at him and asked,
"So, Sir Caelan... you like that too, don’t you??"
...
Just as Caelan stood there awkwardly, with no idea how to answer, a shrill, piercing voice suddenly rang out behind them.
"Oh, esteed guests from afar, welco, welco!"
"I shall be your guide and personally receive you. Please, co with !"
Caelan felt as though he had been granted a reprieve. He imdiately turned to look at this so-called guide.
Contrary to what he had expected, this demon-race guide did not belong to the clawing, terrifying monster type at all.
Instead, he looked like a chubby little clown, giving off an oddly cute and bumbling impression.
At the sa ti, Caelan used Eye of Insight to inspect the creature before him.
[Jester Tycoon]
[Race: Jesters]
[Level: 314]
[Description: A noble race among the demonkind, the Jesters possess exalted status. They delight in fooling others, and will stop at nothing to deceive even the gods. In the records of the Jesters, there was once an ancestor who truly fooled a god, and he was honored as the Emperor of Jesters!]
Caelan and Evelyn exchanged a glance, and both saw a hint of curiosity in the other’s eyes.
Still, they chose to follow behind the Jester Tycoon.
But to Caelan’s surprise, the Jester Tycoon showed no intention of moving at all. He simply stood there as though waiting for sothing.
Seeing the question in Caelan’s eyes, the Jester Tycoon promptly explained,
"Honored guests, please wait a mont. Your carriage will arrive shortly."
A mont later, a dragon appeared in the skies above Fallen City, flying closer and closer.
Unlike the [Divine Mirror Dragonlord] summoned by Caelan, this was a dragon unique to the demon race. Its body was sowhat smaller, and its strength was far weaker.
Even so, within the Abyss, having a dragon draw your carriage was still a symbol of status and rank.
The mont they saw the dragon-pulled carriage, the other awakeners nearby—coming from all kinds of different races—imdiately showed expressions of shock and envy.
"Just who are these two humans? They’re so young, and yet they’ve got a dragon pulling their carriage. That’s unbelievable!"
"My god, didn’t you notice? It was the Jester Tycoon himself who ca to receive them! That level of treatnt is insane!!"
"A dragon-drawn carriage—now that is seriously cool!"
