Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Tata spoke slowly, assuming that Luo Xiu was unable to process too much explosive news:

"That's enough for today, we've already said a lot."

He stood up, and two boxes emerged from the black mist surrounding him, which he placed in front of Luo Xiu:

"This is the Tier 5 equipment I promised you back then. It has now been crafted according to your requirements. There is also a box containing a communication crystal, which allows you to communicate once a day."

"When you go there this time, I only have two requests: be careful and keep in touch."

"Good teacher."

Luo Xiu took the box and bowed 90 degrees to Tata:

"Teacher, I will keep your teachings in mind."

"Go."

Tata slowly leaned back, her eyes seemingly closing beneath the black mist.

Luo Xiu took the box and put it away, then got up as quietly as possible and went outside.

In the dimly lit corridor, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he could no longer suppress his shock.

He had just heard his teacher's description of what the "Guide" had done, and for some reason, a possibility he had never considered before came to mind.

Professional specialization, knightly order planning, historical exploration, diplomatic relations, a mysterious origin and unknown purpose that suddenly appeared a thousand years ago... [The Introducer]...

It sounds like someone from another time.

This idea currently lacks stronger evidence, but as Luo Xiu thought about it carefully, he felt it was increasingly similar.

His mind was in turmoil, and he was quite unsettled, thinking of many things in a short time.

Even after he pushed open the door and stepped outside, he hadn't completely calmed down.

"Lord Luo Xiu."

A familiar voice sounded behind him. He turned around and saw a grinning face on the door.

"Haha, Your Excellency."

Luo Xiu bowed to Haha.

"Is Lord Luo Xiu leaving Kanriel?"

Haha, that mouth is waving on the door, and that big eye is curved like a crescent moon.

"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow. I had arranged to go shopping on Rum Street with you, Mr. Haha, but I may have to reschedule."

Luo Xiu spoke softly.

"That's alright, I have plenty of time."

Haha, in a light and cheerful tone:

"I just saw you come out, and the expression on your face is very similar to that of Lord Tata back then, so I called out to you and hoped to have a chat with you."

"Looks a lot like your teacher from back then?"

"Yes, when Lord Tata walked in and out of my place, his expression was just like yours, with his brows furrowed and his lips pursed. He did that for many years."

Haha said:

"But a few years ago, Mr. Tata was chatting with me and told me that he had been thinking too much and had missed a lot of things."

"I think you've probably encountered some serious trouble. I don't know much, but I guess Lord Tata probably doesn't want to see you like this, repeating his mistakes."

"..."

Upon hearing what Haha said, Luo Xiu recalled how Tata had hesitated to speak several times during their conversation.

Recalling the conversation between the teacher and student tonight, Tata had repeatedly emphasized the importance of the seventh rank to this country.

But Tata didn't say anything to him like "I hope you can advance to the seventh rank," nor did she mention anything about hoping he would protect the country.

My final request was simply that you stay safe and keep in touch.

"call--"

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Haha:

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Haha."

"Did I give you pointers? Did I even give you pointers?"

Haha blinked in confusion, seemingly not quite understanding, but in the end, she happily spun around on the door:

"It's good that you understand."

"Lord Luo Xiu, if you see any scenery in Kanriel that you don't see during your trip to Rovanpu, could you tell me about it when you come back next time? To be honest, I have never left Kanriel."

Haha, he grinned a little sheepishly.

"Of course, when we meet next time, I'll tell you all about Rovanpu."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he looked at Haha and laughed happily, then smiled and bowed to Haha, saying:

"See you next time, haha, sir."

"See you next time, Lord Luo Xiu."

Chapter 217 Rauwanpu! (I left the lab too late today)

As the first rays of sunlight pierce through Kanriel in the early morning, people are just beginning to drift off to sleep.

Last night was a sleepless night; everyone celebrated their victory until dawn, when sleepiness finally set in. Returning home to get a good night's rest, I found the streets deserted, littered with the aftermath of the revelry.

And in the eastern part of the inner city of Kanriel.

The depth of the underground is unknown.

This is a dark underground cave with giant stalactites hanging down from the ceiling.

Crystal-clear droplets fell from the stone tip into a wide, dark river below, creating dazzling fluorescent splashes that illuminated various objects floating in the river before disappearing in an instant.

The dark river meanders and flows mightily from one boundless darkness, only to disappear into another boundless darkness.

This place is usually where some high-ranking alchemists in Kanriel salvage alchemical materials, but today it has been cleared out. The group stood in a hidden cave on the right bank of the Xuan River, preparing to use the magic array here to teleport to Luowangpu.

Many people went today, not just Luo Xiu and his group. The main force heading to the Golden Apple Garden was also preparing to depart today. Because Hermes, who was originally leading the group, had defected, and Kanriel's fifth-tier combat power was insufficient, the leader of the Golden Apple Garden had now become...

Luo Xiu.

"Everyone stand in line, roll call."

Looking at the talented players from Kanriel over the years, Luo Xiu spoke like a tour guide.

Most of the top finishers from the Kanriel Duel Tournament in recent years have come, including Lalaan, Hatheney, and others who had previously lost to Luo Xiu on stage, as well as the Chamber of Commerce priestess Eliga, who had been brutally beaten by Luo Xiu, and Jovi and Kado, who were tied up on Mammon Street by Luo Xiu. Apart from Gallo, whose head was smashed, most of the familiar faces are present.

The group looked at Luo Xiu with complicated expressions.

Although they had been thoroughly defeated by Luo Xiu before, they at least had the right to fight him. Now, they didn't even have that right anymore. The residents of Kanriel were not very aware of Luo Xiu's existence during this battle, but these geniuses all knew about him.

Even if they didn't know at first, their elders would specifically tell them before they left that they must not provoke Luo Xiu. Now no one in Kanriel can afford to mess with him. If they lose their lives at Luo Xiu's hands, they won't even have a place to cry for justice.

None of them dared to harbor any hatred towards Luo Xiu. The difference in strength was simply too great, and what Luo Xiu had done this time was truly remarkable. It was impossible not to be grateful.

Besides the few from the academy, two of the Knights' top contenders also participated: Heather, dressed in a priest's robe, and Peggy, in a colorful mage's robe.

In addition, there was another unexpected figure: Chief Deputy Commander Baal.

He somehow managed to restore his physical functions to their youthful state and claimed that he could pass the Golden Apple Garden's test, hoping that Luo Xiu would give him a chance.

Luo Xiu didn't care about this. If Baal could fill the vacancy in Gallo's position, that would be perfect.

As for the latest tournament that was originally scheduled to be held this year, it was canceled due to the sudden battle. Tassanya took one spot, and the remaining two spots were given to a monk and a mage.

As for the sorcerer Grimm, he voluntarily withdrew his application to participate because of the betrayal of the sorcerer's director, Lucas. And the berserker Alger ultimately failed to leave the Gold Rush Casino.

Luo Xiu called out names one by one, until finally looking at two faces he had never seen before.

"What are your names?"

Luo Xiu took out a booklet, preparing to record the two people's names. Since he was in charge of leading the team, he naturally didn't want anyone to get into trouble before the Golden Apple Garden opened.

As for what happens after he enters the Golden Apple Garden, that's no longer his concern.

"Myriel".

Churchill.

The two gave their names, which Luo Xiu wrote down. When he looked up, he noticed that the way they were looking at him was a bit strange.

The man named Myriel had long red hair and a tall, muscular build, not much shorter than Luo Xiu. He looked at Luo Xiu with respect, but there was also a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

As for the man named Churchill, although his eyes were calm, there was a hint of hatred in them.

When the two looked at each other, it was clear that they were locked in a fierce battle, as if they were secretly competing with each other.

Luo Xiu's curiosity was piqued, because he had no recollection of ever seeing the two people in front of him before.

He looked at Basil beside him and understood the identities of the two people in front of him from Basil's calm words.

Myriel was Shek's top student.

Churchill was Lucas's student.

Luo Xiu understood and smiled as he looked at the two people in front of him:

"Is there anything you're unhappy about regarding me?"

"Of course not."

Myriel answered first, and behind him, a pair of fleshy wings resembling those of a demonic bat unfurled, bowing respectfully to Luo Xiu.

"Thank you, Lord Luo Xiu, for everything you have done for my teacher, helping him to preserve his beloved city."

Churchill, however, hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter two words:

"No."

He knew that Luo Xiu was currently at the fifth level.

Even if he really had some ideas, he could only keep them to himself.

However, he secretly held his breath, preparing to shine in this Golden Apple Garden, reach the fifth rank, and close the gap between himself and Luo Xiu.
