Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 606 - 606: Beauty In Simplicity

"Good then. If everyone is on board with it, I'll invite Lucifer to meet us to join the Warlock Council." The old man nodded.

"But that guy is too arrogant. He didn't even meet our envoy last time. I don't think he respects us. Do you think he'll even come if we invite? What if he directly refuses to join us without even coming?" One of the Warlocks asked.

"Then we can only go with plan B," the old man replied.

"And what might that plan be?" Another Warlock asked.

"Going there with our full force and showing him our might to make him join us," The old man declared. "But hopefully, it won't come to this."

...

While the Warlock Council was deciding on how to deal with Lucifer as best as they could, Lucifer was flying towards the main city of Zeston.

The Warlock Council had decided to invite him and were even wondering if he would come. But they didn't know that he was already there and getting closer with each passing second.

He reached the town where he had decided to meet with his friends.

The Town wasn't big. There were only around fifty houses. Not even a hundred people lived in the town.

Because the town was so close to the main city of Zeston, most of the youngsters in the town had left the town, shifting to the city. It was only the old people who had sentimental value associated with the town that refused to leave.

They still lived in the town, which lacked most of the facilities. There weren't any proper roads in the town. None of the people here owned any vehicles either.

The Town didn't have electricity either. It only had one well, which was used by citizens for water as there was no direct water supply from the city. The Town was considered to be abandoned since the city didn't want it.

The city authorities wanted the town citizens to leave the town so they could destroy it since they claimed it was bad for the aesthetics of the city. However, the citizens didn't agree to leave, angering the authorities.

The authorities couldn't force the citizens either, so they simply used other methods. They kept the town without any facilities, trying to make the citizens leave themselves. They didn't believe the citizens could stay here for long.

Unfortunately, the citizens were stubborn as well. They lived without electricity and other facilities, but they didn't leave the town. They stayed here, antagonizing the city authorities with their presence.

It was six in the evening when Lucifer reached the town. He landed in the middle of the town, observing the surroundings.

The two coffins floated behind him. The lifeless body of the Dean and Salazar also stood behind him.

"This town is so empty... I don't think it can even accompany the gang," Salazar commented.

"Not like we need to live here for decades. Don't worry about it," Lucifer replied lazily. "It's a good place and small. We can easily control it and keep information from leaving. Moreover, we had already researched this town. It doesn't have a good relationship with the city. None here can contact the city."

Lucifer walked to the closest house to him. The door had a steel lock on it which was covered in dust and web. It was clear that no one had lived in this house for a long time.

He took off his right hand and grabbed the lock.

The lock was destroyed. Lucifer opened the door and stepped inside.

He placed both the coffins inside the house and also commanded the Dean to guard the coffins before he left the house again. He closed the house and walked to the next house.

The second house didn't have a lock.

He knocked on the door. The door wasn't open.

He knocked again. "Is anyone inside?"

"I'm coming! I don't have wings! Wait!" An old sounding voice came from inside.

After a few minutes, the door opened, revealing an old woman on the other side.

The face of the woman was covered in wrinkles, and she looked to be in her eighties.

"Who are you? Did the city send you? Tell them we won't vacate this place! Only our dead bodies will leave this town!" The old lady replied.

"Ah, I think you're misunderstanding us. We're not from the city. We're actually travelers. We saw this beautiful town. It is so peaceful and beautiful. We were wondering if we could be allowed to stay in the town for a few days so we could live in this beauty?" Lucifer asked the old lady, smiling innocently.

The old lady looked at Lucifer, surprised. "Huh? It's been a long time since someone called this town beautiful. Everyone else calls it ugly and tries to destroy it."

"Ugly? Nonsense! It's such a beautiful house. In the fast-paced world of today, it's so hard to find a calm and peaceful town like this! And people want to destroy it? That's crazy!" Lucifer exclaimed, seemingly shocked.

The old woman nodded her head. She was impressed by Lucifer, who was still so down to earth and knew how to appreciate the beauty in simplicity.

"Young man, you have a good eye. I'm glad that people like you still exist in this world." The old lady placed her hand on Lucifer's head.

"Come on inside. Let's talk inside," she added as she reached out her hand to hold Lucifer's hand.

"Ah!"

Lucifer hastily retracted his hand. He hadn't worn his gloves. "My hand is still dirty. I can't dirty your hand by touching you."

The woman looked at him, confused. But she didn't mind. "It's alright. Come in."

She stepped inside the house.

Behind her, Lucifer and Salazar also stepped inside.

"Please sit."

...

Two days later...

"Is this the town?" Uzuki asked, standing before the town.

"According to the location, it's the one," Dallas answered. "Lucifer must be here."

The first batch from Uprising had already reached the town, which contained four Warlocks and three Nobles.

The seven of them stepped inside.

"Ah, there he is." Dallas smiled, seeing Lucifer standing with Salazar, talking to some old men.

They walked up to him.

"You're here. That's good," Lucifer commented. He looked at the old people around him. "These are my friends. When I told them about how beautiful this town was, they started talking about coming as well. I hope you don't mind?"

"Ah, not at all! It's good! After a long time, our town is going to be so lively!" One of the old men replied.

"Yeah. In fact, you can invite even more people if you want. They'll be even better," Another added.

Lucifer only smiled in response.. "I'll see what I can do."
