Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

"Drunken Mist Inn…" Fredrinn glanced at the plaque before he entered the building.

"Welcome, guests!" Upon seeing them, the old innkeeper who was lying lazily on a recliner stood up and welcomed them with open arms and a big smile on his face.

"Let me do the talking," Fredrinn whispered to his mother before he turned his gaze to the old innkeeper.

"Good evening, sir. Do you still have some vacant rooms?"

The old innkeeper rubbed his hands as he nodded his head. With his keen eyesight, he noticed their high quality clothes which means they are people of noble birth. "Of course! How many rooms would you like to book for the night?" He could already smell the money on his way. He might even get some benefits if he assisted them well.

"Let's see…" Fredrinn rubbed his chin and looked at their group. His mother and Olivia could stay in the same room, while Cain and the other bodyguards could take turns sleeping. "We'll take five rooms."

"Five rooms?" The old man was a bit disappointed to hear that, but Fredrinn suddenly tossed him a small sack filled with coins.

The old man's eyes lit up. "Thank you, my lord! I'll do everything you tell me to!"

Fredrinn chuckled. "Just don't disturb us and if someone asks about our group, inform me immediately."

"I understand, my lord!" The old man was a smart person. He didn't ask about their circumstances and quickly went to grab the keys to their rooms and handed them to Fredrinn.

"The keys are numbered…" The old man told him where their rooms were located.

Fredrinn nodded and waved his hand at the old man, indicating for him to leave.

The old innkeeper understood the cue and immediately went back to his recliner.

"Mother, it will be unsafe for you to stay by yourself so Olivia will stay with you." Fredrinn handed one of the keys to Margaret.

"Alright, but what about you?"

"I'll stay with the guards and take turns with them to keep watch tonight."

Margaret was surprised by his response. Tyrell and the other bodyguards were also taken aback. They didn't expect that he would actually volunteer to do something.

"My lord, there's no need for you to tire yourself. You can leave the night duty to us." Tyrell was the first one to reject him. What could the trash of the Firecrown Household do? With his puny cultivation, he would only hold them back if something happened. Tyrell thought that Fredrin was only looking for an opportunity to find a whore to play with.

"No, I insist." Fredrinn shook his head. He had a feeling that the Blackcrow Household would attack them if given the chance so he wanted to be prepared for any situation.

Seeing him like this, Tyrell could only reluctantly agree. "Fine, but if you get tired, you don't need to push yourself." Nothing good would come with opposing him.

Fredrinn nodded.

Soon, half of the group retired to their rooms, while the other half split up to guard the establishment.

Meanwhile, Fredrinn chose to guard the entrance. He even changed into a guard's uniform since his yishang was too eye-catching.

He looked around and saw the hired guards of the inn. They weren't that impressive, but they still had some training. Their captain was also a Foundation Establishment martial practitioner so he could offer some help if needed. He didn't look down on these people. Some of them had talents, but because of their status, they could only settle for mediocrity.

Fredrinn retracted his gaze. The establishment was located near the heart of Red Flame Valley so the street was still busy. However, once the night gets darker, things could get really dangerous. Even in a big city like Red Sun City, there were still criminals and evil cultivators hidden among the populace.

Not to mention that the people of the Blackcrow Household could be lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to attack them.

'Only five of our bodyguards are on night duty and the inn's hired guards are too lax. I need more eyes to keep a lookout.' Thinking about this, Fredrinn opened the Fate Shop.

He once saw a specific magical beast that could prove to be useful for this situation.

• Pets

• Soaring Red-eyed Eagle [Uncommon] (Cultivation: Body Refining 10th Layer) 50 Fate Points

This magical beast wasn't that powerful, but it had an innate advantage over martial practitioners. It was its ability to fly.

Once it's up in the air, it could help him monitor the surroundings. With its powerful vision, no rats could escape its eyes.

Unlike the servants that have a purchase limit, he could buy as many magical beasts of any kind as he wanted as long as he had sufficient Fate Points. However, Fredrinn didn't need too many so he only bought two eagles.

[Confirm Purchase]

[Yes] [No]

This time, he didn't hesitate to click [Yes].

White light flashed momentarily in front of him. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two Soaring Red-eyed Eagles slowly descending before him. They flapped their wings and landed gracefully on the ground, emitting high-pitched whistling sounds.

"Can you understand me?" Fredrinn asked. Unlike normal animals, some intelligent magical beasts are capable of understanding human speech.

The two birds nodded while emitting strange noises.

"Good. I want you two to take turns in observing the area. If you find someone suspicious, inform me immediately."

The two magical beasts let out 'scree' sounds before they flew into the sky.

Fredrinn stared at them and grinned. "With those two, I feel more at ease."

When he turned around, he noticed a big guy dressed in leather armor walking toward him. Behind the man were three guards who were curiously looking at him.

'Sh*t! Did they see me when I purchased those magical beasts?!' Fredrinn was a bit nervous. It would be dangerous if someone were to know about his peculiar abilities.

"Good evening, my lord. I saw you summon those majestic creatures. Are you by any chance a summoner?" The big guy asked. He was the captain of the inn's hired guards.
