Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Lode interrupted Botta, saying softly:

“If something happens within the Chamber of Commerce, then it falls under my job responsibilities. Things outside the Chamber of Commerce are none of my business, nor will I care about them.”

Botta took a deep breath upon hearing this:

"Yes, Your Excellency Lord Lodey, I know. But I think if you can make a move tonight, you might be able to take a week off next week. I don't think there will be anything to do next week. I will take care of your attendance record, and I will also take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Bota's words undoubtedly struck at Lodey's Achilles' heel.

He smiled, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Bota:

"My only responsibility is to ensure he gets back to his place safely tonight; I won't concern myself with anything else."

“That’s enough, Lord Lodey.”

Botta wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"Thank you very much for your help."

"Then I'll thank you in advance for the vacation, Bota."

Lode bowed slightly, took off his coat, and draped it over his shoulder with one hand.

The moment his coat billowed and obscured the view of Bota and his companion, his figure vanished into thin air.

The languid assassin, Lodey.

……

Luo Xiu stepped out the door; the sun was already setting and dusk was falling.

Because of the lighting magic within the guild, it's impossible to tell the time, which is to encourage customers to stay longer.

Luo Xiu watched as the setting sun stretched the shadows of everyone on the street, stretched, and then walked towards Mammon Street.

At a corner behind him,

Lillian stared speechlessly at her cousin, whose head was covered by a black cloak.

"Hey cousin, if you want to know where that nouveau riche lives, why don't you just ask him directly? Do you have to act like a thief?"

"I...I'm worried that His Excellency Schup might encounter some danger on the road."

Lilina blushed under her cloak:

"Furthermore, Lillian, don't you want to know where Lord Schup is from?"

Hearing Liliana's words, Lillian became interested. She also pulled out a cloak to cover her head and excitedly said:

"Cousin, what you're doing is unethical."

"But I like it so much."

……

Lodey leaned against the wall in the shadows, watching the two sisters, Lillian and Lilina, acting suspiciously ahead. A glint of cunning flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself:

"Why are those two oddballs in Count Vivian's family also following this guy?"

"I hope there won't be any trouble involving the two of them. If there really is, a week's vacation won't be enough..."

Seeing that Lillian and Lilina had followed, Lorde swayed slightly and disappeared again.

……

Lillian and Lilina followed Luo Xiu from a distance for forty or fifty minutes.

"Cousin, this place is getting more and more remote."

Lillian looked around.

Kanriel is a long, narrow city. The closer you get to Kanriel's five gates, the more prosperous it becomes. They are now located far, far away from the center of Kanriel, having traveled to the west.

Moreover, Luo Xiu kept taking detours.

The number of people on the street had visibly decreased. They had just passed Rum Street, and Lillian estimated that if they continued west, they would reach Waste Gold Road.

That place is not a good place; going there will make you feel unwell if you turn onto the wrong street.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, Lord Schup has slowed down."

Lilina whispered.

Upon hearing this, Lillian looked ahead and, sure enough, Luo Xiu's speed had gradually slowed down.

He looked around and then turned onto a street to the right.

Lillian and Lilina waited a while, then quietly followed, but after only glancing at the street, they quickly withdrew.

There was a square, open plaza, not very wide, and Luo Xiu was standing right in the middle.

If you rashly stick your head out and follow, there will be nothing to cover your body.

Just then, they heard Luo Xiu's voice coming from the street:

"Having followed you for so long, aren't you going to come out?"

Upon hearing this, Lillian and Lilina couldn't help but cover their faces, realizing that their stalking had already been exposed.

To avoid any misunderstanding, Lilina pulled Lillian along, preparing to go outside and explain to Luo Xiu.

But then a menacing voice, filled with oppressive energy, came from inside:

"I didn't expect you to find me, but it's good, we've come this far."

Lillian and Lilina looked at each other in shock upon hearing the voice.

It was Alger's voice.

So Alger was following Luo Xiu the whole time, so why didn't the two of them notice?

If Luo Xiu can find Alger, whom they cannot, does that mean he can also find them?

Did Alger find them?

If they discover it, does that mean the people in front of them have always known that someone is following them?

A series of doubts arose in their minds.

Just then, from the opposite side of the wall where they were hiding, Lodey, with squinting eyes, emerged and greeted the two blank-faced women:

"Good afternoon, both of you."

Chapter 119 The Demon Appears!!! (6100 words, two chapters combined)

Lillian and Lilina stared wide-eyed at Lorde, who had suddenly appeared opposite them.

They didn't expect that not only were there people in front of them who went unnoticed, but there were also people hiding behind them.

“Lodey…”

Lilina murmured.

What a day it is today! Attending a small auction, not only did Alger and the Corpse of the River of Spells appear, but now Lord has also arrived.

"Shh-"

Lodey put his index finger to his lips, signaling the two to be quiet and watch the show.

In the wide open space of that street.

Alger and Rosh stood facing each other.

Alger stretched his neck. His head wasn't small, but it looked unusually small compared to his well-developed deltoid muscles and extremely broad shoulders.

"I think you should know why I've come to see you."

Alger grinned, but there was no sense of friendliness about him. Instead, he seemed like a wild beast that had suddenly smiled at someone, exuding a dangerous aura.

Luo Xiu shook his head:

"I'm not quite sure. I don't think I've had any dealings with Lord Alger before today."

"It's okay, it will be available after today."

Alger grinned maliciously:

"If you hand over the Silver Dragon Blood now, I'll spare your life, but I'll break your arms and legs."

Luo Xiu suddenly realized:

"So, you want the blood of the silver dragon."

He spoke with a troubled expression:

"But I bought this bottle of Silver Dragon Blood for 180 gold coins. If you want it, how about this: you pay 190 gold coins and I'll give it to you."

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Alger's smile became even more sinister:

"It seems you've chosen not to hand it over. Then leave your life behind—"

boom!

A sound broke through the air.

Luo Xiu's figure disappeared from the spot.

Alger's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected Luo Xiu to be so fast, nor had he expected Luo Xiu to suddenly launch an attack.

However, his reaction was not slow either. He immediately roared, and his originally tall and burly body stretched out again, his size increased dramatically, and his floral shirt was stretched to the point of bursting open, leaving only a pair of trousers, which seemed to be a stretchable prop.

If he could only be described as burly before, he was now a giant. His size even surpassed the wall, and his head peeked out from above.

Berserker Tier 4 Skill: [Berserk Giant Transformation]

The sisters, Lillian and Lilina, stared at the scene before them, speechless with astonishment, their pupils dilating in shock.

In their eyes, Alger was now a muscular monster with a grotesque face and a body radiating heat; the visual impact of that image was devastating.

A flicker of surprise also flashed in the narrowed eyes of the person opposite, Lodey.

But what surprised him wasn't Alger, but Luo Xiu, whose figure had just vanished from the spot. As a fourth-tier assassin, he knew very well what such speed meant.

If Luo Xiu didn't use any items or equipment to assist him, then Luo Xiu would most likely also be a fourth-tier assassin!

He, who was originally not interested in Luo Xiu's identity, couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to know where this unfamiliar fourth-tier assassin came from.
