“A fire monster?!” The demon guard looked at Eira in shock.

Eira still had a playful smile, shrugging.

He didn’t understand! Just show goodwill first?

Among monsters, fire monsters were known for their strange tempers, but most were known for being short-tempered.

Although this one wasn’t short-tempered… he was quite strange.

For example, he deliberately didn’t match his words with his actions, and kept showing that strange smile.

But thinking about it, he hadn’t done anything unusual, and he did seem to be joking around.

In short, he was trying to be friendly.

No one here had seen a fire monster before, but even if they had, their appearances could vary based on their region.

To determine if he was a fire monster from a certain region, they might need to go to that region.

Moreover, fire monster wasn’t a specific race; any monster that could control fire was considered a fire monster. So the demon guards at least confirmed that he was a fire monster.

Judging from the mana sensed, the opponent was indeed a very strong fire monster.

The demon guards glanced at each other and nodded.

“Alright, go in.”

The demon guard at the entrance stepped aside.

Eira, seeing the guard move, turned to Anyi: “Can… can we go in?”

“Yes.” Anyi nodded.

Eira breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the demon guard: “Thank you. (Monster language)”

The demon guard didn’t reply, only nodding.

Having said that, Eira led the way into the monster city, and the others followed.

Anyi was at the back, casually asking the demon guard: “Has anything unusual happened recently? I’m an outsider and don’t know much. (Monster language)”

The demon guard didn’t hide anything: “Recently, some thugs have been killing our brethren. It’s preliminarily judged to be a monster over 4 meters tall using a weapon.

It has nothing to do with you. Have a good time, go in.”

“Thank you.” Anyi replied in monster language, then entered the city.

Entering the city, Layton was astonished.

“Just like that… we’re in? They didn’t even check us…” He said in surprise.

The reason was simple, the monsters weren’t really vigilant.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

If it was a malicious human, they might bring weapons or poison into the city, hence the need for checks.

Monsters were different. Strength could be judged at a glance.

Even Layton, who was the tallest, was just a shorty in the eyes of the monsters. And most of the team didn’t have mana.

Even if they brought weapons, other monsters could easily kill them.

As for poison… monsters usually consume things with varying degrees of toxicity. Even strong poisons would only cause them some stomach upset.

Stronger poisons did exist, but the city was currently on high alert for a monster using large weapons, not a few seemingly weak short people.

Although there were a few with high mana, they weren’t considered suspicious.

After all, the suspect didn’t use magic.

Entering the city, the others were relieved, but Hilo frowned the entire time.

The others hadn’t dared to speak in human language yet, Hilo quickly approached Anyi.

Whispering angrily: “Why do you know the monster language?!”

Ariana was stunned: “How does Anyi know the monster language?”

Layton and Miruku were also puzzled, but in their eyes, nothing Anyi did was surprising.

He must have learned the monster language somewhere?

But Hilo’s teammates were different.

Even Eira, after reacting, was completely confused.

They all wanted to ask Anyi.

Why did he know the monster language?

“You probably don’t understand what knowing the monster language means.” Hilo looked at Ariana, “We’re soldiers protecting the stronghold, protecting humanity.

The monster language has always been a focus of our research. Many scholars in the stronghold are studying it.

Even in human territory, the translation of new words would cause a huge sensation.

But right now, we can only use simple words in specific situations!

Want to know how?

I’ll tell you!

Your Sword Hero Anyi · Carl, is using a language that no human in the world can use!”

Hearing their conversation, the other monsters didn’t pay attention.

Monsters had complex language systems, even Goblins had developed their own language.

So, in the eyes of other monsters, they were probably speaking some dialect.

And other monsters weren’t as likely to “understand human language” as Goblins.

“No human can use that language?!” Layton exclaimed, “Anyi is so amazing!”

“This isn’t about being amazing!” Hilo glared at him.

“Well, we want to know… who you really are.

Why do you know the monster language?”

Sephie looked at Anyi, her expression serious, as if interrogating him.

“And what did you say to the monster?”

Anyi: “…”

Common monster language, the first foreign language for heroes. In the future, not only would he know it, but almost every hero would.

But as Hilo said, at this time, no hero, or even any human, knew it.

He had spoken because Eira made some minor mistakes in word choice, grammar, and expression, which might cause trouble.

Of course, when he spoke, he had already planned his explanation.

“Of course, it was taught by Kami-sama!” Ariana chuckled, proudly patting Anyi on the shoulder, “Kami-sama can teach us anything!”

Anyi: “Right.”

Good, the Holy Maiden had learned to steal his lines.

“Kami-sama?” Hilo widened her eyes in surprise.

Anyi nodded: “Yes, through the system given by Kami, it records the monster language, then the system judges the meaning based on the context.

For example, the Minotaur, Centaur, and Pigman we met earlier, the system recorded their words.

Within the same race, the pronunciation is generally the same, only the prefixes differ.

Therefore, we can determine that what they said was the race’s name, and the suffix means ‘people’.

Relying solely on ears to analyze it would be very time-consuming.

But using the system given by Kami, it’s very simple.”

Ariana also nodded: “Anyi is amazing! Kami-sama is amazing!”

Hilo frowned and stroked her chin, deep in thought.

In the end, she had to admit this explanation.

“Fine, I didn’t expect there was such a method.” She conceded.

But… this explanation had flaws.

Hilo’s base Intelligence was 1, she hadn’t considered this.

But Sephie noticed something amiss:

“If that’s the case, why did you have Eira use fire?

Was there any mention of ‘fire’ in that situation?”

Clearly, there wasn’t!
