[On Hold] I'm a what?! (That Time I got reincarnated as a slime x Male Reader)

Chapter 22: Glistening under moonlight

You arrived in the city of night, dazzling streets shining with lights and the heavy patter of busy feet hitting the path as people rushed to either go to work or do shopping in the bustling city- it seemed like it was night but it was in fact day for them since the country was eternally thrust under a darkened sky, people had to get use to timing and soon figured out that clocks still worked which was a good thing for otherworlders to introduce into the fantasy setting since people now relied on them.

You began to walk the street disguised as a human still, people paid no attention to you other than kids who commented on your paler skin and pink hair- it was a country full of dark skin and black hair since the place often didn't have outsider visitors which garnered more attention the further from the dock you got as the people nearer the boats were use to seeing shiprights from other countries.

???: " Hey Foreigner! "

You looked to see who shouted, an older man with an eyepatch and wolf ears walked towards you; you noticed his noble like appearance from his clothes, his wounded right ear and pierced left ear, his jewellery were all gold and he walked with a sauve stagger.

You: " Hmmm? Yeah how can I help you? "

???: " What brings ya here of all places? Name's Faust by the way, Faust Cornish "

You: " Oh uh, I'm just an adventurer; heard stories of this place during my quick stop in the port city and decided I'd come visit "

Faust: " I'd be careful if I were you, some of the guards patrol don't take kindly to foreigners, we don't get many afterall- you might be the first one in a hundred years or so? "

You: " Really, why so? "

Faust: " Come inside my shop, I'll tell you there "

You walked with him into his shop, it was wonderfully decorated with golden adornments along the walls and flickering torches stood on black holders- the back wall held a counter, treasures lining the top and display cabinets that rested along the back wall, most noticeably though was a large two handed sword displayed beautifully on the back wall.

Faust sat you down across the counter from him as he jumped onto a chair the other side to face you, he called for his wife to get him a two cups of tea is she wasn't busy; she shouted back cheerfully and you could hear her rushing to make it, the soft sound of a wagging tail obvious to your sensitive ears which made you smirk since it meant they were happy and Faust was probably a good dude.

Faust: " First I'll explain something, we merchants are treat as noblility for our deals with foreign embassies since the lords of this kingdom fear the kingdoms outside this island "

You: " Fear them, why ever so? "

Faust: " We have no idea, they award us for our bravery but we assume it's our monster instincts that make us fear humans and humanoid races like yourself "

You: " Am I going to be feared? "

Faust: " Not if you make a trade with me, if we do then I can give you a 'silver permit' which basically means a merchant has deemed you worthy for continued buisness- I offer this to all outsiders just in case but unfortunately one hasn't shown for a while, I assume it's because the island has basically vanished from history or knowledge "

You: " You are long living and don't make an effort to become known, I think the island would become famous as a lost civilisation if it fell but for now it just isn't worth mentioning I assume "

You and faust began to conversate some more on the issue of the island basically becoming unknown to today's generations, soon his wife came out- she was a huge bulking lady, large muscles ready to crush your head and a sturdy 6'5 frame- she carried an axe but placed down a tray of tea and sweets
