A burst of laughter rocked the inn. No one believed Ludwig, and they treated him like a fool instead.
Ludwig,
Alex,
They looked at the fool. Ishac was incompatible with a place like the Death Inn and was simply worlds
apart from them.
Ishac

âScholar, walk out of the entrance now and stay in the stable for a night. Perhaps you can still survive
until tomorrow. You might really lose your life, otherwise!â Said an old man with white hair and beard to
Ishacâ¦
Ishac
Alex
Ishac was considered the kindest among the guests in the inn. Ishac looked at him. âThank you for your
kindness, but with this weak body of mine, I canât stay in a stable. Itâs more comfortable to stay in a
room.â
Ishac
He
Ishac
Alex
âHahahaâ¦â
That speech invoked a burst of uncontrollable laughter once again.
âFool! What a ridiculous fool!â
âIn that case, letâs see how youâll get Maximilia Calypse to provide you a free room! Are you trying to
make her fancy your pretty face so youâll become a guest of honor?â
Someone yelled directly upstairs. âMaximilia! Maximilia, come quickly! A pretty-faced scholar said he
would throw himself at you. Ishac asks if you would accept him!â
Ishac
He
âIs that so?â
A soft, lazy voice replied from upstairs.
Ishac looked up, only to find a woman in a red dress leaning next to the guardrails on the second floor.
She looked young and had fair skin and a striking face. Coupled with that slightly exotic red outfit, she
turned out to be eye candy that was particularly pleasant to look at.
Ishac
Alex
The famous woman was the owner of the Death Inn, though she did not look cold like some Holy
Maiden. Instead, she wore a faintly discernible smile and exuded a natural sense of intimacy.
Whoosh!
Maximilia moved gently, floating down from the second floor like a fairy. She attracted a round of
applause. Nonetheless, that was a child playâs to Ishac.
Ishac
Alex
Even his four children could do that easily.
Ishac quietly looked at the proprietress. The smile on her face deepened.
Ishac
He
However, menâs laughter was heard around him. âHurry and look! This brat has been completely
enchanted by Maximilia Calypseâs beauty! Judging from that expression, he probably doesnât
remember who he is, right?â
âMaximilia, this scholar is skinny, but he has good looks. Why donât you accept him? You could use him
as a bed-warmer at night.â
Maximilia lifted her beautiful foot and gently lashed out with a kick.
A wine gourd on the table next to her was sent flying into the mouth of the talking man. âEven wine
canât stop a nasty manâs mouth like yours!â
Laughter instantly rang around her.
Sitting on the table, Maximilia took a closer look at Ishac and asked, âScholar, where are you from?
Where are you going?â
Ishac
Alex
Ishac was startled for a moment. Ishac did not know how to answer her for a while.
Ishac
Alex
Ishac
He
It was because he had become Zechariah but had acquired extremely limited information about him.
Ishac had not obtained all of Zechariahâs memories, and the Heavenly Stairs had only passed a little
information to him. Ishac didnât even know the location of the desert or the current era he was in.
Ishac

âWhat? Does one have to be interrogated to stay at Maximiliaâs inn?â
Maximilia felt suspicious about Ishacâs current speech and demeanor.
Ishac
Alex
That was not how a powerless scholar should behave. Surprisingly, he did not fear her and was bold.
âArenât you afraid of me?â
âWhy should I? Ishac showed a weird expression. âMaximilia, you do business openly, and I am a
guest. How can I be afraid of you?â
Ishac
Alex
âBut you donât have money, do you?â
âI have something better than money.â
Maximilia lifted her hand and pinched Ishacâs face before pulling it hard. She then shook her head and
said, âItâs not as good as money. Your face is worthless.â
Ishac
Alex
âHahaha!!!â
The guests in the inn burst into pangs of laughter.
Looking at Maximilia at close quarters, Ishac stretched his hand and beckoned her. âMaximilia, I have a
few words to tell you in private.â
Ishac
Alex
Maximilia smiled coquettishly. âScholar, youâre really intriguing. Youâre starting to pique my interest.
Youâre not going to take advantage of me suddenly, are you?â Then, she leaned closer.
Ishac whispered a few words in her ear.
Ishac
Alex
Maximilia was smiling at first, but that expression quickly changed.
At that moment, everyoneâs hearts were in their mouths. Everyone scratched their heads, curious to
know what Ishac had whispered in Maximiliaâs ear. To their surprise, he made Maximiliaâs expression
change again and again.
