Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Everyone has a place where they can return to "themselves". If Luo Xiu had to choose, he would definitely choose the little cabin in Wheel Town where he and Leila lived. The landlady, Oles, lived next door. Every day he would go into the jungle to fight goblins, and when he came home, he could drink the food cooked by Leila herself.

For Basil, the place where she returns to "herself" is this curtain.

Behind this curtain, no one can see her sadness, weakness, or tears. When her emotions calm down and her voice comes through the curtain, she is still the incomparably strong Grand Master of the Knights of Kanriel.

When she learned that she was to be the leader of the troupe, she initially refused, worried that her image would not be convincing to the audience, until she received this curtain.

Upon hearing Basil's thanks, everyone, including Luo Xiu, stood up and bowed to Basil.

"Dorant will win."

"Without a doubt, the greatest contributor to this victory is Lord Luo Xiu. Let us pay our respects to Lord Luo Xiu."

Behind the curtain, Basil also stood up and, along with the other twelve, bowed to Luo Xiu.

"Greetings, Lord Rosh. Thank you for everything you have done for Kanriel."

Basil watched with a smile, and after the twelve people had finished their greetings, he spoke:

"My efforts are nothing compared to those of Lord Shek. I hope that Lord Shek will recover safely."

"May His Excellency Shek recover safely."

Everyone spoke softly, and the candlelight on the round table flickered slightly, like a flame of hope.

"In addition, I have something else to announce, which concerns the future changes in the Knights' positions."

From behind the curtain, Basil's voice rang out. The twelve people present remained calm, except for Luo Xiu, who had already heard about Basil's plans to make personnel changes.

"First, Milair, as the vice-commander, you have been promoted to the fifth rank. In addition to congratulating you, I would also like to announce a change in your position."

At the round table, in the seat next to the curtain, Baal heard these words and remained calm.

He had already guessed that Milair would replace him as the chief of the vice-commander, after all, the gap between the fifth and fourth tiers was too great.

However, he no longer cared about any of that. In Luo Xiu, he saw the hope of advancing to the fifth rank.

As for his ranking, it wasn't that important to him.

But Basil's next words surprised him, and everyone else, including Luo Xiu, was also astonished.

"I hereby announce that Milair is hereby appointed as the Grand Master of the Knights of Kanriel."

Everyone wondered if they had misheard, perhaps missing the word "vice".

But Basil repeated it again, making everyone restless.

Basil is still very young. What is he planning? Is he stepping down?

"So where are you planning to go, Your Excellency Basil?"

Luo Xiu spoke up, for he was the only one here who had the right to ask that question directly.

"Now that the Mushroom Monster has been defeated and the Demon Bat has been severely weakened, I think Milair is enough to oversee Kanriel."

Basil first explained her reasons for choosing Milair as the commander of the Kanriel Company, and then slowly began to speak:

"I am preparing to take up my post in Rauwanpu, where there has been continuous warfare for years and the coastal area has been plagued by numerous monsters for a long time, and we have always needed manpower."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was drawn back.

Basil, her small frame seated on a large sofa, her platinum blonde hair flowing freely, looked like a delicate porcelain doll clad in armor, gazing at Luo Xiu opposite her:

"are you going?"

Luo Xiu glanced at Leila, Tassanya, and Miler beside him, wondering when his fetish had been exposed.

The group of women guiltily looked away, not daring to meet Luo Xiu's gaze. They had only seen Luo Xiu often writing the word "monster" in his notebook, frowning and drawing circles, wanting to help him.

Luo Xiu naturally didn't blame the others, and smiled slightly:

"Of course, it's a pleasure to travel with you."

Chapter 214 Dorrant's Ultimate Secret 1

Kanril is brightly lit tonight.

A nightingale stood in the mushroom grove outside the Sage Stone Sculpture Group, perched on the branch of a tall mushroom tree, its two black gem-like eyes reflecting the flames rising from the city of Kanriel.

"Jiji——"

It spread its nimble wings, its black feathers fluttering in the night sky, transforming into a streak of light that swept across the vast mushroom forest, through the real jungle, until it reached a huge, dark cave.

It descended, and the cave before it was as dark and gloomy as a black hole, as if it would devour and crush every living being that stepped into it.

But it hopped inside and disappeared into the darkness.

Deep in the cave.

The sound of panting echoed continuously, like a broken accordion. The person panting was clearly seriously injured, so much so that their breathing was not steady.

It was a creature covered in tentacles, as big as a house, with two small eyes that shone crimson light through the gaps in the tentacles.

Its top, the only part not covered by tentacles, revealed scarlet scars, each the size of a fist, as if they had been smashed. The "hoarse" sound came from there.

"Can you stop for a second?"

A mature woman's voice came from the top of the cave, speaking the common language of monsters. The cave ceiling was covered by a shadow, as if something was lurking within it.

Her tone was calm, but the tentacle-covered creature below trembled upon hearing it.

It knew that it was no match for the guy above.

The only reason I was able to stay with that guy without being torn apart was because of the demon's orders.

"I didn't want to either, but this injury was too severe; my body size has shrunk a thousand times."

It opened its mouth, and its voice revealed its identity as the mushroom monster from Kanriel Garden.

"Even if you weren't injured, you stayed there for too long and were drained dry by those inferior creatures."

The shadow on the cave ceiling slowly shifted, and a black, pupa-like object peeked out from the darkness.

The pupa-like creature had a distinct outer shell with sharp edges, and you could see bone spurs wrapped around its skin.

Faced with the pupa-like creature's faint mockery, the mushroom monster remained silent, for what it said was true.

Its entire clan has now been wiped out, and it can only live in the Demon Bat Cave, so it's normal that it has no voice.

"Bah."

"Bah."

A sound came from the direction of the cave entrance, and both immediately fell silent, for the being that was about to arrive was a legendary terror, and for these two weak demon races, such a being would wipe them out without breaking a sweat.

"Bah."

"Bah."

A nightingale, entirely black, hopped in.

It stared at the mushroom monster, which was many times larger than itself, turned its neck, and then actually spoke, in a common monster language, with a voice that was somewhere between male and female:

"How are you two still alive?"

"..."

"..."

The mushroom monster and the pupa-like creature both fell silent. Even though it was the demon in front of them who had told them to wait here, they absolutely could not say that.

The demons are capricious, cruel, and bloodthirsty; anyone who says the wrong thing will meet their end here today.

Sure enough, the next second, the nightingale nodded again:

"Just stay alive."

Just as the mushroom monster and the pupa-like creature breathed a sigh of relief, the nightingale's voice rang out again:

Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute?

"My lord, I failed to complete the task you assigned me this time. I deserve to die. Please punish me."

The mushroom monster collapsed with a thud, its body trembling as it faced the tiny nightingale in front of it.

"I have also failed in my duties; please punish me, sir."

Seeing that the mushroom monster had mistaken her for someone else, the pupa-like object on the cave ceiling fell down from above. The outer shell opened, revealing black fleshy wings inside, and a naked human woman with crimson eyes lowered, not daring to look at the nightingale opposite her.

"Hahaha."

The nightingale laughed, making the mushroom monster and the bat queen's hearts tighten.

Do you know why I said it's good that the two of you are alive?

The muscles at the corners of Nightingale's mouth lifted, and a faint, human-like smile appeared on her face:

"If you all die, who will I kill to vent my anger?"

In an instant, the entire cave was filled with an almost tangible killing intent. The mushroom monster and the demon bat queen were covered in tiny, dense wounds, their bodies bruised and bleeding profusely.

"Sir, we were wrong. Please give us another chance."

The Demon Bat Queen trembled violently and quickly spoke.

"Shh-"

The pervasive killing intent froze. Nightingale clicked her tongue, a playful glint in her eyes:

"just kidding."

The mushroom monster and the bat queen breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies soaked in sweat.

They were all leaders of their respective groups, and the Demon Bat Queen was even a sixth-tier being. Yet, they were utterly powerless against the Nightingale, their lives completely in her hands.

It wasn't because the other party's rank was extremely high, but because it involved the origin of the monsters.

……

……

"There are some things I think I can tell you now."

Inside the fireplace, a warm fire rose, and the burning firewood crackled and popped from time to time.

Tata sat on the red sofa, looked at Luo Xiu opposite her, and spoke.
