Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System-Chapter 361.1: Fools always flock together (part 1)

The places in the wild that were registered in Brandon's family records were quite disperse, and to be honest Daimon didn't expect to find anything there, because the hungry magic beasts would have probably gotten rid of any "evidences".

That part of the information was reserved for Annete, since she had her own intel net, then she should be able to easily confirm if there is some sort of connection between the placed underlined by Brandon, disappearances, kidnappings or other rumors similar to that.

So, Daimon instead decided to focus on the bars, taverns, inns and other places of the underworld of the kingdom, where the female assassin had met the tattooed guy previously.

'Considering he gave that woman a chance to join after she offered herself, then the most obvious place to look for him is… a brothel', thought Daimon as they travelled through the dimensional tunnel.

"Hoh?", the Black Empress saw that unlike the others, Daimon didn't become lethargic due to the big difference in flow of the time, that as present in the dimensional tunnel created by a high ranked powerhouse.

It would have been different if they were travelling through an artificial method, such as the transport arrays that were deployed in the kingdom, as the arrays were optimized to reduce that effect on lower ranked people.

But that wasn't the case, Thea had the ability to move through space like the Half Emperors of the Wonder Myriad Stellar chart.

"I have been wondering this, what is your current realm Daimon, this Empress can't see through you, but if I were to guess, I would say it's the early stage of the middle Mortal realm?", asked Thea with a curious voice.

Daimon doubted for a moment, he has been simulating his knight rank to be at the early Lord realm, since that is more or less the result of his combination between being a five star knight and almost a two star mage, the sum of both paths is obviously not as simple as one plus one, that being said Daimon's battle prowess allows him to fight easily against middle stage Lord ranks, that's why Thea and the others can't properly pinpoint what his realm is.

"It's a bit hard to explain, as miss Thea have probably already noticed I'm not a human, my lineage is part of my strength, so I appear to be like that, but I haven't reached the Lord rank yet".

Daimon quickly explained the Black Empress how they classified power levels at his galaxy, to complement his answer, which made Thea suddenly turned around and grabbed Daimon by his shoulders before saying.

"How old are you!", her voice changed from gentle to slightly enthusiastic, making Daimon chuckle.

"I'm 13, though I consider myself older since my growth both physical and mental is linked to my lineage more than to my biological age".

Thea's eyes glowed in surprise before a proudful smiling expression flourished on her pretty face.

"You are younger than the crowned prince that idiot excuse of a king takes so much pride on, and yet you are already at his level, one of the generals of this Empress~", she mumbled.

It wasn't a secret that the magic beasts from the Maelstrom Sea didn't like the White royal family, but for Thea it was more of a competition, so for her knowing that her newly appointed general showed a greater potential than the genius of the White family, she was ecstatic

Daimon chuckled, the Empress's gaze was a bit intense, especially because those snake eyes of hers, gave her that wild aura akin to a magic beast, it didn't affect nor make him uncomfortable, but any other person below the Arch rank would have been trembling in fear at this point.

Thea noticed her bad habit was showing and she let go of Daimon, as she closed her eyes and returned to her elegant self.

"Ahem, sorry about that… I can't wait to see your match in the next event, this Empress will be cheering for your victory", she said.

Daimon nodded, they were reaching the end of the dimensional tunnel, the previous might have taken some time to describe but it happened in just a couple of minutes, since the chance of the assassin from Black Wave, being in a city as far as possible from the center of the kingdom was higher, they literally went to the border of the continent, the plan was to advance from that point all the way to the center after checking the places Brandon mentioned.

A couple of seconds later they left the dimensional tunnel, and the girls returned to normal.

The Risha sisters stared at each other and noticed the positive surprise in their eyes.

"I feel way less dizzy when travelling through space now", mumbled Leslie.

"Mm, our wings", added Yvonne.

Liliana didn't say anything but she gazed directly at Daimon, they were the weakest in the group, and hen travelling with the help of a Half Emperor on in this case an Emperor, they expected to get a little headache, but unlike before, even when they became lethargic, they didn't get negatively affected, though they noticed some of the mana Daimon gave them had diminished a bit and it was now circulating through their mana circuits.

Aisha giggled as she peeked on Daimon's shoulder.

"You three surely put Daimon's mana to use for a variety of things~", she said with a playful voice, making the sisters blush a bit.

Daimon shook his head and then looked at his surroundings, they appeared a few hundreds of kilometers above a small town at the border of continent, the fact that it was small didn't mean it was uncivilized nor stuck in a previous era, the word "town" was relative.

Only the places which had the support of at least a middle level noble family were considered "cities", for declining or low ranked noble families, the territories they supervised were considered towns, ports or outposts no matter their location.

In a rough calculation there should be around two million habitants in the town they were seeing right now.

"Let's go the east side of the town, according to Brandon that's the entertainment area, the establishment we are looking for is a bar called "Blatkr", it's one of the places in which that woman has met with the tattooed guy more than once, since it also has a special zone exclusive for VIPS".

Thea listened to Daimon and she spread her mana sense, she didn't want to alert anyone with her strong presence, so she limited to spy on the conversations of the people that were walking through the east side of the town.

Daimon's interest was once again picked by the fact that the habitants of Neptune seemed to "lack" things back at his galaxy were the rule, Thea had the capacity to travel through space without any problem, but just like how Annete seemed to have to put effort at the moment of displaying her domain, which shouldn't be the case as she is a Half Emperor, Thea's wasn't as skilled in mana sense as her high realm would suggest.

It was because of that, that she had to focus on lower ranks as she might slip and alert others, some people excelled in mana sense after all.

'I wonder if she has a domain', thought Daimon, but he was woken up from his daze when the Empress moved the sphere of mana in which they currently were, all the way tin direction to northeast, until they reached a normal looking large building, from outside it seemed to be some kind of warehouse, it was open to the public so there were people coming in and out of it.

"Here it is, according to the people walking around, below this building there is an underground place called "Blatkr", things down there are quite wild if you ask me though", said Thea.

Among the conversations there were some… "vivid" descriptions of the activities taking place at the bar, and though she didn't rally cared, Thea had to admit it wasn't up to her liking.

Daimon nodded and they descended from the sky into an alley near the warehouse, Daimon noticed there were some people strategically positioned in the nearby buildings observing at the warehouse, probably a safety measure, but it was meaningless in front of the ability of the hollow suit, in fact they couldn't even see through Thea's mana sphere as she was using a spell similar to Erin's dark curtain.

"Okay, I'll be going down there with Aisha, the rest wait here and prepare in case we need to leave in a hurry, if you see someone that adjusts to the description, knock him down please", said Daimon to the Empress, the Risha sisters and the princesses.

Aisha smiled and she grabbed Daimon's right arm, which of course made the sisters pout, until they heard Daimon saying.

"We have a large list of places to visit, the next time one of you will go with me, it's just to not raise suspicions since nobles won't come alone to this place".

"Mm~", the sisters nodded and then Daimon and Aisha left the sphere of mana created by Thea, but used the hollow suits to mix into the crowd, before they deactivated them using some disposable appearances of random people they have seen back at their galaxy.

Nothing too eye catching and they kept the masks that covered their upper faces, since that was normal, Daimon caught some whispers her and there and once he was sure of the method to enter, he and Aisha entered the warehouse.

From an external point of view, this place was a normal supply store, there were weapons, potions, ingredients and other miscellaneous stuff, nothing on the Arch rank, probably to not incentive high ranked people coming here, unless they specifically wanted to go to the underground space.

Daimon and Aisha just looked around for a couple of minutes, before they went to an isolated part of the warehouse were the cheapest materials were displayed, and approached the one in charge, it was a tall slim guy with eyebags and a face that would be easily forgotten or confused in a crowd.

Daimon then took out three low purity sea crystals and threw it at the guy before saying.

"We came for the special products, any recommendation?".

The guy smiled, as he looked at the third crystal, the admission fee was one, so the third was a "tip", the nobles that frequented this place liked to burn money like nothing, but he rarely got such benefits, so he knew he was in front of a rich kid who looked for some thrill.

"If this young master has the means, I recommend paying for the VIP zone, I assure you, both of you will like it, enjoy your visit", he said as he pointed at a rack which was behind the counter.

Daimon nodded and with Aisha clinging to his arm, they both walked towards the rack, which surprisingly wasn't a secret door but a reference mark, the floor separated to reveal an entrance which led to a very elegant and illuminated set of stairs that descended underground.

Daimon and Aisha went down the stairs and the entrance closed behind them, even from afar Daimon's ears could clearly hear the music, laughs and giggles as well as… sweet cries of women and he shook his head.

"I always thought Erin would be the one to one day take you to a brothel, but it seems I got your first darling~", cutely said Aisha to her son.

Daimon bitterly smiled.

"One day, Arthur Jolbaris is going to get a wind of that time she took me to spy into his daughters and wives bathing and he is going to lose it".

Aisha softly laughed, Erin's "rewards" were quite… unique, indeed.

Once they reached the end of the stairs, what welcomed Daimon was an open space, which reminded him to a discotheque, there were various bars across the area, there were also catwalks on which women wearing extremely revealing lingerie, or simply naked walked, some were dragged away by one of the many people enjoying the show.

There were also private tables with their own small catwalk, but most where unoccupied, besides that there was area to dance, where everyone was rubbing against everyone.

Though wild, it wasn't too chocking for Daimon who came from earth, if not for the women that didn't seem too convinced to be dragged away by some of the customers, he would have thought it was just a strip club or some other shady establishment.

"Welcome, dear customers, how can I help you", a topless girl approached Daimon and Aisha and welcomed them, she wasn't one of the girls available for the customers, but a waitress, apparently that was their uniform, pretty much akin to the lewd atmosphere of this place.

Daimon didn't way the girl's naked body any attention, he pointed at one of the private tables before saying.

"I want one of those and the best girls you have available, to sweeten mine and my partner's eyes".

The eyes of the waitress sparkled, thinking she was lucky to catch a big fish tonight.

"Understood, it will be ten thousand sea crystals, please", said the girl.

Daimon handed the crystals and the waitress led them to their table, this place was definitely designed for nobles, ten thousand sea crystals were something a commoner wouldn't spend like this, in fact even Daimon thought it was a waste, luckily these crystals were kindly "donated" by the Trident Marshal, so wasting them didn't affect him at all.

Also it's not like he just bought a table for commodity, when you come to these places, the different people group with those who are like them, in this case Daimon was aiming to the groups that had their own tables.

And his plan worked like a charm, even before the waitress returned, some of the guys from other tables approached them.

"Yo, this little brother why don't you join us for a few rounds, drinking in group is better than doing it alone, don't you agree?", said one of the guys who had his arms wrapped around two girls.

Daimon quickly inspected the little fish who took the bait, the girls that were in his arms weren't employees, but nobles, first and formal they weren't naked, also they had masks too, and all the women dancing on the catwalks as well as the staff didn't wear masks.

'Fools are quite easy to find no matter where you go', thought Daimon as he rose a cup he took from the mini bar assigned to his table.

"Sure, I'll just tell that waitress to join our tables".

The guy who was clearly intoxicated laughed and clashed his cup against Daimon's.

"Well said brother hahaha".
