One day after, me and Nail were on the outskirts of Celin, we where there to sell the bodies of both bodies, as we walked the ambient went darker and darker, the people around us started to throwing glances at us, Nail seemed to be relaxed about it, as if it was something common, we crossed a few streets and finally turned on an alley that was much more darker than usual, at the end of it, there was this dark door, Nail knocked a few times on a certain corner, suddenly a voice resounded from the other side of the door
"Who's there" the voice said as if it was demanding, not asking. With a calm voice Nail sighed, as if he was tired of this proccess, "The Neil in the Nail." After a few seconds I turned to look at him, what did he just say? As if Nail could read my mind he turned to look at me and said "The owner of the place gives an entrance ''code'' that is different to each person, he thought it would be ''funny'' to make a rime with my name as the code. Once he finished his explination the door opened as a man on his thirties, bald, with a tattoo of a skull that worked as a mask on his face. "Madam Nora is waiting on the usual spot." he said with a voice that seemed bored "Thank you Pixie" ... what? Did he just say that his name was Pixie? I covered my mouth trying to hold in the laughter as I passed infront of him, with Nail looking at me, he didnt say nothing but it was clear that he was trying to tell me to hold in the laughter.
After some time, around five minutes, we walked down, if I had to say we were pretty close to the sewerege by the smell. after 2 more minutes we finally reached a small reception room with a few candles that gave a green colour lighting, surprisingly the place also had air-conditioning, the place had a few chairs which me and Nail didn't doubt to use, as I sat I couldn't stop looking around, it felt as if I was entering some kind of ''dark side of the society,'' As I looked around I noticed a closed door at the end of the room, it was made with darkwood and had decorations over it of snakes.
A few seconds after, a bell rang and the door opened by itself, at first I felt creeped out, not really sure how to feel or how to act, so I looked at Nail and copied everything he did, we both got up from the chairs and went through the door, once inside the room, the door closed down by itself and the room lit up a few seconds after it. at the end of the room I saw a woman wearing a black dress, long red hair, blue eyes with a facial structure almost perfect, she had a pair of black jeans and black boots, his top was a simple black T-shirt with what it seems a black leather jacket. As she was staring at us, she was lighting up a cigarette.
"But if it isn't the old man!" she said as she got up from the chair she was sitting on, her voice was deep, pretty sure because of her cigarettes. "Shut it, you have no right to call me old when your just a few years younger than me."
My face turned white of surprise, Nail was around his fifties, but she looked like she was barely on his late twenties, "This is Nora, she's an old acquintance of mine, even though she is annoying, she does her work well enough." she sat back on her chair, "First of all, I know you since we both were barely that boy's age and you call me just ''Acquintance''? the age really makes people turn grumpy...And don't you think I deserve to know who's behind you?"
Nail turned back her way looking at her with a seamingly tired expression, "Nora, Mergo, I'm trainning him." Nora sighed, it seems she was already expecting this answer. "Tch...what a way to introduce someone who should be close to you, take a seat already will ya?"
With her saying it, we both sat infront of her desk, we were sitting on wooden chairs while Nora was sitting on a office chair, between us there was a desk. "So, I suppose you're not here to visit me so, what do you want?" she asked as she crossed her legs" Nail brought up his mirror, and the two bodies of the infected creatures materialized. "Two infected creatures, of low rank." Nora as if she was an expert got a pair of gloves out of her pocket, and started to examine the bodies.
after a few minutes of examining the bodies, she sighed, seeminglu dissapointed "If it was anyone else, I would be surprised, but coming for you? This is dissapointing Nail, even boring, couldn't you find a better target." Nail looked at her and answered almost instantly
"I only hunted one of them, we're here so he may learn to sell them in the future, but I also want the money of the one I killed." Nora's eyebrows rise, surprised "Has he awaken his lux?"
"I don't know, but he has hints of being able to use it." I was completely confused, It was clear they were talking about me but I didn't understand half of the things they said, when they noticed I was trying to figure out what they were saying, they looked at each other and nodded
"Anyway, they will be...around 10 Zars for each corpse, as always" I was absolutely surprised, for example, Gregor did 5 Zars in a month, and with that money we were able to live a common life living on a decent apartment, and I was recieving the double of his monthly salary? With this, Nail nodded as, Nola left the bills in the desk, after we grabbed the money, we left the place
