Chapter XIV Fourteen

  The lifelike illusion of the naked high-elven courtesan moved the hands c her breasts seductively while smiling coyly as it hovered in the air. The illusioares from passersby who increased their pace ed their feet outside the mairao the opulent building.

  Ofolk male, belonging to a e subspecies stopped in the middle of the busy road. He was staring at the pink illusion with longing, until his wife cuffed him around the back of his head before leading him off with a stern expression by his ear. Dink could still hear the husbandโ€™s pleading from the block away.

  โ€œThis is the House Of Worldly Delight. Itโ€™s best to enter from the side entrance. A pair of goblins may cause the upper css to object. It will likely be the same in the orance, but theyโ€™re usually a tad more fiving and have much less influence,โ€ Lady Estra said.

  โ€œThe patrons will likely be too drunk on the House of Worldly Delightโ€™s services to view us as anything other than just another y,โ€ Dink observed.

  Dink started to walk across the busy road without a care. He walked in front of a departing noblemanโ€™s carriage, causing the driver to haul on the reins to prevent him from being trampled. The carriageโ€™s dark elf former-oct was already at the mairance, ign his driverโ€™s as as he ehe building. Only his ears twitched as the driver cracked a whip above Dinkโ€™s head. Dink merely gave the man a gnce of annoyance as he tio walk.

  The driver was visibly shaken after he saw Dinkโ€™s appearahe reins held loosely as he fot his e. The cloaked figures of Lady Estra and Murkuk followed behind him. Di his ingle, gng back he saw Murkuk use his staff to start a small fire on a cobblestone brick below the horseโ€™s fnks. The driver was given a fright as the horse reared and began to stampede down the busy street. Dink heard him shout a string of curses as people dove out of the maddened horseโ€™s flight path, shouting obsities and hurling sto the carriage.

  Dink chuckled then began to whistle merrily as he entered into the alley leading to the onerโ€™s entrance. A drunk lounged half-scious outside the steps with a drink cradled in his hand. He looked at the trih bleary eyes, unsteadily pointing at Dink.

  โ€œHey, youโ€™re a goblin. Thatโ€™s cool. Could you spare me a copper for another drink?โ€ the drunk asked.

  โ€œWhy not? Hereโ€™s one on me,โ€ Dink replied.

  He flipped the man a silver , grinning as he watched the drunk catch the with deceptively sharp precision, causing Dink to raise an eyebrow. The man ignored his curiosity.

  โ€œMighty kind. I like you. Go on in,โ€ The drunk said with an exaggerated slur.

  Dink ughed as he reized the drunk as the House of Worldly Delightโ€™s attuned doorman. An ordinary drunk would be dragged into the stables to sober up in the hay or a dunk in a water trough. They wouldnโ€™t be allowed to loiter outside the entrance of the most promi pleasure establishment iy. They had a franchise in every major settlement in the known world.

  Dink took the manโ€™s words as approval. He pulled back the hood of his makeshift vest, causing a departing wood elf to pressed himself ft against the doorway. He fled the alleyway after seeing Dinkโ€™s appearance. Gng back, the wood elf ran inte ape beastfolk woman, falling to the ground. The wood elf muttered an apology as he climbed to his feet and dusted himself off before tinuing to flee. Dink stopped watg as the drunk ughed, shaking his head in amusement.

  โ€œI wish I could see you go ihe mairance if thatโ€™s the rea you get from this ohe drunk ughed.

  โ€œMe too, but sometimes itโ€™s not worth the headache it would cause. It would be fun though,โ€ Dink replied with a smirk.

  โ€œYour is as good as any ihe House of Worldly Delight. Try not to cause too much trouble and the guards inside will ehat youโ€™re able to enjoy yourself as much as any. Although it may be difficult to get one of the dies to agree to keeping you or your friend pany. Enough will ge even the most sour dispositions. There may be someone who wants the y of it and service you for free. But such is life, you never know what may happen. Iโ€™m just a humble drunk, not a philosopher,โ€ the doorman said with a dramatic sigh as he settled bato his post.

  Dink grunted in response as he ehe House of Worldly Delight. Grinning with pleasure at the se inside. He could smell the alluring aroma of perfume and sex. Patrons of assorted races engaged in a mixture of activities. A curtained area was revealed as a reasonably attractive topless human woman emerged holding a tray with exotic powders lined on it. Behind her, Dink could see nude men and womewined in various sexual positions before his view was interrupted by the curtain falling back closed.

  Men and surprisingly, a few women, lounged on couches as topless women pyfully pressed against them. The topless women were all courtesans belonging to the House of Wordly Delight. A courtesan held a cherry by its stem betweeeeth as she fed it to a human woman dressed like a bourer, ted the cherry followed by a passionate kiss.

  Dinkโ€™s attention was drawn to a table in another room by cheers. It was the gambling area, a rge liofolk man had just won his hand. He was standing to scoop his gains toward him with loud boasting. It was only copper and silver knocked into a pile with a small iron cage stacked on top. There was a strange mushroom creature inside, looking ed by the beastfolk's loud outburst. The other men surrounding the table jeered at the male. One man dressed like a mage slumped dejectedly onto the table, banging his head i.

  Dink grinned as the familiar se brought back memories of the st time he had been ihe House of Worldly Deling as the Sword Saint.

  โ€œItโ€™s good to be home,โ€ Dink said fondly.
