I really only stop

"Huh!? You've been picking on me since morning, and you're still going on now!?"

Celica's attention was still as easy to divert as ever.Just as Lu Xi thought, she recovered from the fear of the black cockroach in a blink of an eye, and jumped directly from the sofa:

"I don't envy you at all! Fame in the human world and success in the worldly sense are not what I need. As I have the strongest strength, I just need to quietly watch the mere C-level Ruoweixi live in the sun! "

"That being said, you're actually very envious, right?"

Holding Celica's shoulders with a smirk, Lu Xi deliberately hung the shiny badge on his chest, and kept dangling it in front of the former's eyes:

"The C-level badge not only has an upgraded material, but also looks very good-looking. I heard that you can enjoy a discount of up to [-]% when you buy cakes at any cake shop with the C-level badge!"

"[-], [-]% off?!"

Celica's eyes flashed a trace of obvious shaking.

Unlike Yuxia, who grew up in the emperor's family and had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, Celica had been living a tight life of a lone wolf adventurer before meeting Lu Xi and others.

Since she is a magic profession that would be very weak without avant-garde, she also tries to avoid tasks that will cause direct conflict with monsters, and specializes in picking up some small tasks such as weeding and running errands-of course, the rewards for such tasks Very few, Celica, who couldn't even afford to stay in the inns opened by the guild, could only find a safer forest and build her own tree house.

It is for this reason that under Celica's carefree appearance, there is actually a heart that is very sensitive to shiny gold coins.In the past, she even used her pitiful look at the high-end tiramisu in the window as an example to enlighten Yuxia-for such a girl, discounts on snacks are definitely more fun than hunting down powerful monsters .

"I, I also want a discount..."

The tone suddenly became low, and Celica lowered her head, reached out and gently grabbed the corner of Lu Xi's clothes:

"Weak and weak Xi is great. Not only can you get a discount on the cake, but you can also become an adventurer who is much better than me. It doesn't matter, I know it. According to the guild's standards, I can only be an E-rank adventurer in my life. There is nothing to say, congratulations, Ruoweixi."

——Hey, hey, isn't this reaction right? !

Seeing Celica's performance, Lu Xi, who thought she would rush up and give him a powder punch that was so weak that even the [Beast's Intuition] would not be triggered, panicked.

Did the fact that the cake couldn't be discounted hit her that much?Originally, he wanted to use his class advantage as a C-rank adventurer to tease her, but now it seems that he has stepped on a thunder point?

"Cough, cough, it's okay."

Trying to make his voice softer, Lu Xi coughed lightly, and said with a serious expression:

"You can use my badge to buy discounted cakes—no, let me treat you to eat. Also, what I wrote on the note before was just a joke, I take it back."

"... Mmmm."

"?"

Looking at Zelika who suddenly trembled in front of him, Lu Xi suddenly felt that something was not right.And the next moment, this worry turned into reality.

"Pfft hahaha!! Very good! Very good! I have already remembered all the promises made by Ruoyouxi just now!"

Patting the shoulder of Lu Xi who was stunned in place, Celica raised a big thumb:

"I just learned from the tips at the bottom of the astrology book [just pretend that you don't understand and keep silent when the other party is joking, you can make the other party feel guilty and offer compensation]-in fact, I As long as you move your fingers, you can get the title of [A-rank adventurer], and you don't care about Ruoyouxi's mere C-rank... Eh? Ruoweixi seems to have a strange expression now?"

"Yeah, if I have to say it, it's the 'strange' expression of [I actually believed in your evil] mixed with shock and regret."

Lu Xi's body suddenly flickered for a moment like a frame drop, and the next moment, he lifted something that suddenly appeared in his hand.

"That, that's my baby astrology book!!!"

Recognizing the item in Lu Xi's hand at a glance, Celica's eyes widened in astonishment: "What are you going to do! I told you in advance that books are the crystallization of human wisdom, and if you dispose of them carelessly, you will be punished by God!"

"Oh, is it so."

Lu Xi stretched out a finger calmly.

[Weak and Weak Flame Technique] + [Weak and Weak Whirlwind] = [Fantasy Ignition Disposal of Garbage Reading Art]

Looking at the baby astrology book reduced to ashes in Lu Xi's hands without tears, Celica rushed forward and wrestled with Lu Xi——

"Hey! Take my fist of God's Wrath!"

——Afterwards, he was firmly pressed on the sofa by the latter.

Chapter 286 The Haze of the Epidemic

"Damn it! What is going on with that super-standard holy light!"

In a dark cave on the shallow level of the Forest of Monsters, a panicked voice suddenly sounded:

"According to the information provided by my predecessors, Rhine City should be a low-level area where a large number of weak and small humans gather together to keep warm. How could there be such a power! Even if it is facing thousands of troops, it is more than enough?!"

After a burst of meaningless and loud complaints, Sombra finally managed to overcome his weak legs and began to rummage through his belongings:

"I originally wanted to spread a severe plague in this city and cause chaos in the first step. Now it seems that if I don't investigate the holy light pillar first, I'm afraid I can't act rashly."

Although in the eyes of human beings, the pillar of holy light is nothing more than a brighter and strange object, but to the black shadow, it is no different from the great terror that surpasses death.Not only is it naturally extremely restrained against black shadows, but more importantly——

"If there are such powerful priests here, wouldn't the cute bacteria I spread out be sacrificed on a large scale?!"

As if finally unable to hold back the emotions in his heart, Hei Ying took out a large round-bottomed flask emitting a faint green light from his arms, and rubbed it against his face vigorously:

"No, no, no! I can't bear to let such lovely bacteria make unnecessary sacrifices. They are my most important existence—yes, not [bacteria], but [wife]!"

Since there were no other intelligent beings around, no one responded to Sombra's shocking and abnormal remarks.After dawdling with the flask for a long time, Soi Ying reluctantly put it back in his arms, and turned to think about the next plan:

"As the vanguard, the most important reason why I was selected to carry out this interference mission is because my ability is very suitable for causing a large-scale impact on ordinary humans, and it is also very concealed and can be used for long-term operations-so, find a concealed one as soon as possible Long-term shelter is very necessary. Of course, the display cabinets for storing different types of bacteria should be quickly hired to make them, and the highest grade red rosewood should be used! Don’t worry, wives, I will let you look beautiful Stay with me!"

"There is also the reconnaissance situation just mentioned. Although there may be some kind of power far surpassing me hidden in the city of Laine, the information provided by the seniors is not necessarily inaccurate. Maybe the pillar of holy light is the human beings who are A new weapon developed in secret, if you find out the secret behind it, promotion and salary increase will not be a dream!"

"As for the last..."

Having said that, Sombra's voice suddenly became a little lower:

"People in the world think that epidemics are disgusting things, if I can change this thinking—"

------------

The sun was setting and the clouds were rolling in the sky.A gentle and heart-warming wind blows head-on.The two guarding knights at the gate of Rhine City were also affected by the leisurely atmosphere at the end of the day, and let out a long sigh of relief.

As the guards of the 'novice city' with an extremely harmonious surrounding environment, the work of these two knights is actually quite leisurely.

There are only a few adventurer teams who come and go in the city of Rhine, greet them every morning and remind them to pay attention to safety, and when they return in the evening, they smile and ask about their harvest and anecdotes-sometimes, guarding knights are even more important than guarding knights. Guild members must also be familiar with the appearance and character of each adventurer.

It was precisely because of this that they could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the person who was walking now.

"Stop."

The knight's spear crossed to block the way of the comer. The two guard knights looked at each other, and one of them asked:

"I saw you wandering around during the day, and it was approaching night, why did you return to Rhine City again?"

"Ah, so it is."

The visitor who hid his whole body in a black robe, only revealing a strange crow mask, explained calmly:

"My name is Haimo, and I'm a traveler from the imperial capital who came to Rhine City on business. I wanted to enter the city during the day, but I was delayed because of something else—two knights, if you have nothing else to do, please let me go." Go in, I have to choose an inn quickly."

"Sorry, we can't let you through."

Faced with these remarks, the two crossed knight spears did not mean to move away at all:

"Your identity and background are completely unknown. In order to avoid the possibility that you are a fugitive, please go back to the outpost with us to investigate—Ah Choo!"

"Ah!"

Coincidentally, after the two knights sneezed at the same time, their eyes were blurred and they stopped talking.

"As long as it is used properly, even a small bacterium can defeat a powerful knight."

Putting the ring on his middle finger back together, looking at the two knights in front of him who were staring blankly, wearing a crow mask, Haimo seemed to laugh slightly:

"Because no magic was used at all, these knights didn't even realize that they were hit by the trick. This is the power of bacteria. These little cuties in my collection, no matter which one is so fascinating-ahhh I really want to tell people all over the world how cute they are!"

"...It's okay, I won't hurt your lives. After all, dead people can neither act as a breeding ground for my cute little bacteria to survive and multiply, nor can they spread their fear of them."

Looking up at the full moon that has just revealed its outline, Haimo's black lens inlaid on the crow mask flashed a chilling brilliance:

"Although I'm afraid that the beam of light can't act on a large scale, but if I properly create panic, I'm afraid it's more suitable for me to investigate intelligence?"

"Line City, I'm coming—"

------------

"Ah!"

"Celica, do you have a cold?"

Pulling Celica's hand involuntarily, Yuxia immediately released a healing magic:

"Although there is my holy art, you still have to pay attention to your body. Compared with recovering from illness, it is the best choice not to get sick from the beginning, isn't it?"

"Well, I remember."

After obediently listening to Miss Saintess' preaching, Celica turned her head to the side:

"However, the sneezing just now was really strange, like a premonition that something bad is about to happen—"

"Ha, Zerika is still playing tricks on me."

Rubbing Celica's hair with a smile, Lu Xi mercilessly told the truth:

"Is it difficult to admit honestly, 'I kicked the quilt again when I was sleeping last night, and I accidentally caught a cold~'?"

"You weak and weak Xi! Meow!!!"

"Hey! How many operations did you suddenly jump over?! Don't! Don't talk!!"

Looking at the two people who started poking me and poking you in the blink of an eye, Yuxia smiled and fell silent:

"...Don't fight on the sofa, okay?"

As if they heard some order, the two immediately calmed down:

"Yes, I/I see..."

Chapter 287 Cough cough cough!

Waking up early in the morning, the doorbell of Lu Xi's house was suddenly rang briskly.

After easily recognizing the identity of the person coming from the lively doorbell, Lu Xi got up and opened the door of his house.

"Yo! Lucy!"

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, a jumping pink hair came into Lu Xi's eyes:

"The weather is so good, it's a waste to stay at home every day, do you want to do tasks together?"

"Do the task?"

Seeing Cupid's empty back strangely, Lu Xi scratched his hair:

"Don't you have teammates, what are you doing looking for us?"

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for [you]."

With a smirk, he poked Lu Xi's chest, Fenmao gave him a 'you know' look:

"Just pick up a quest to pass the time, come back to hand in the quest in the evening, and then go to some interesting places together like-how! My arrangement is perfect, right? It's a pity that my teammates got girlfriends at some point, It's a pity they won't be able to make it."

No, don't you think it's even more regrettable that your teammates [all have girlfriends] and you are still alone and can only come to me?

"Go somewhere 'interesting'..."

It's all about complaining, but the pink hair in front of him seems to have a natural ability to drive the atmosphere. Seeing his excited look, Lu Xi couldn't help but feel a little moved:

"Specifically? How to arrange it?"

"I've thought about it. Recently, I often see a werewolf brother who looks very familiar with you. Let's call him too."

Whispering to Lu Xi in a low voice, Cupid revealed his extremely superficial plan:

"The strength of the werewolves is very good, and the little brother you know very well is the leader among them. You output, I defend, and the werewolf brother is a hunter support. The three of us are enough to form a strong temporary team. The most important thing is that as long as three people go together, there will be a discount in that 'interesting place'—how about it, is it attractive enough?"

"So you came to me just to make up the bill!"

Seeing through the sinister intentions of the pink hair in front of him at a glance, Lu Xi rolled his eyes:

"No, see you later."

"--Etc., etc!!!"

Relying on the amazing reflexes honed in the battle for a long time, Cupid desperately stretched his arm in one second before Lu Xi closed the door, and then, the severe pain from his arm made him grin his teeth :
