Even with the Grand Commander's cooperation, killing a Tier 6 enemy was enough to amaze the soldiers.
It should be noted that the Knights of Rovanpu have not killed a monster of rank six or higher for nearly two hundred years.
This requires not only strength, but also the right timing, location, and people—all three are indispensable.
But today, it was done by someone who had only been with the Knights for a few days.
"That's fucking awesome! From now on, Lord Luo Xiu will be my new idol!"
Such remarks permeated the entire Knights Order.
At this moment, the protagonist in everyone's eyes is sitting with Leila on the shore of the Black Reef, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.
Behind them, cheers and shouts filled the air, the firelight illuminated the sky, and in front of them, the moonlight shone brightly and starlight flowed across the sea.
Luo Xiu and Leila sat on the borderline between two completely different scenes, looked at each other, and smiled slightly.
"Cheers, Leila."
Luo Xiu placed the wine glass filled with cider in front of Leila.
Cheers, Master!
Leila happily held her wine glass with both hands and gently touched it to the stemmed glass in Luo Xiu's hand, her little face flushed.
As the two were drinking, they heard footsteps behind them.
"Fine, fine, you're going to leave me out here, huh?!"
Basil's voice sounded behind him. Luo Xiu didn't turn around, but simply tapped a wine glass filled with wine in the water on his left.
"Romantic, with the scent of roses."
Basil looked at the wine glass, her anger instantly turning to joy, a blush creeping up her neck:
"I never agreed to drink with you."
That's what she said, but she still naturally sat down to Luo Xiu's left and picked up her wine glass:
"But seeing how sincere you are, I'll grant your request this time."
Luo Xiu smiled slightly:
"Then thank you for the honor, Lord Basil."
"Good to know. Come on, let's have a toast."
A moment later, Basil, having achieved her goal, downed the wine in one gulp and sighed happily.
"We haven't finished talking about what happened before. Amu and the others are looking for you. They say they have a gift for you."
"Okay, where are they now?"
"What's the rush? Come on, Leila, let's toast and ignore him!"
"Cheers, Basil Sister!!!"
……
After a while.
In the central area of the [Demon Slayer] Knights' tent, Amu, Qipujiepu, and the others awaited Luo Xiu's arrival.
"Lord Luo Xiu."
Amu and the others bowed to Luo Xiu, then looked at Leila, who was carrying Basil on her shoulder, with some surprise:
"This is……"
"It's alright, the commander is just in a good mood today and has a bit too much to drink."
Luo Xiu smiled.
"Nonsense!"
Basil was clearly not completely drunk yet; she still had the energy to speak, waving her fist and shouting:
"I can still drink!!!"
"Come on, three more cups!!!"
Luo Xiu completely ignored Basil's drunken tantrum and explained to the surprised Amu and the others with a smile:
"Don't misunderstand, the leader did not violate the alcohol limit. She didn't even reach the limit and she was already like this."
"Nonsense...nonsense! You filthy man, all you do is slander me!"
Basil twisted her body, trying to get off Leila's shoulders, but Leila's hands were like an iron clamp, preventing her from breaking free.
"Leila, you...you put me down, I want to...duel with this clueless man."
"He doesn't like me at all, he only...only likes you...you jerk...come...let's duel!"
The astonishment in Amu and the others deepened.
I must have heard something incredible.
At this moment, they were all regretting coming to see Luo Xiu tonight.
How did we end up witnessing something like this? Are we going to be silenced?
Luo Xiu, however, continued to smile:
"The commander is probably too happy and is talking nonsense after drinking. I heard that you prepared a gift for me, Lord Amu."
"Yes Yes!"
Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Amu immediately ignored Luo Le's mutterings and beckoned to Jep beside him to bring out a wooden box:
"Lord Rosh, we have been wanting to apologize for the offense we caused you, Lord Basil, and Lady Leila on the first day, but we really don't know what kind of gift would be appropriate for someone of your caliber."
At this point, Amu scratched his head awkwardly:
“Actually, we know that even the most valuable gift can't compare to everything you've done for the [Demon Extermination] campaign. You led us forward, healed hundreds of wounded soldiers, and today... you even slew a sixth-tier demon. This gift we're giving you isn't actually very valuable, but we heard from Lady Leila and Lady Basil that you seem quite interested in it, so…”
Jep opened the wooden box, inside which lay a small booklet, its pages twinkling with starlight, seemingly a skill book.
"This is a general skill book produced in Rwamp, [Trade]."
Amu paused, a little embarrassed. Jep and Qip, who were standing beside him, also looked ashamed and said:
"Although the sea area in Rauwanpu that produces the [Trade] skill has been occupied by monsters, resulting in a long period of infrequent production of this universal skill, it is still not difficult to find if you look carefully."
"For someone of your stature, this gift may be too insignificant, but rest assured, we will prepare a more suitable one later—"
"I love so much."
Luo Xiu interrupted Amu with a smile, and amidst the stunned expressions of the others, he reached out and picked up the booklet from the wooden box, gently crushing it.
[Skill: Trading LV. 1 (0/1)]
[LV.1 Transaction: Draft a transaction contract. The strength of the contract depends on the ranks of both parties. The party that violates the terms of the contract will suffer the consequences of the contract.]
[Next Level LV.2 Transaction: Draft a transaction contract. The strength depends on the ranks of both parties. New effect: If you are the party who violates the contract, the backlash effect is halved.]
Luo Xiu glanced at it and decided not to add any points now, since Amu and the others were all there, and it wouldn't be good to stand there in a daze for too long.
Seeing that the others still seemed somewhat incredulous, Luo Xiu smiled and spoke again:
"I really like it, thank you for the gift."
Amu and the others exchanged glances, still finding it hard to believe that the powerful Luo Xiu would actually like a universal skill book. Just then, Luo Le's voice came from the side again:
"He really likes it!!!"
"That jerk! It's one thing to like Leila, after all, Leila is so cute... but he even likes skill books!"
Basil's voice trembled slightly, as if she were filled with extreme resentment.
"He likes skill books but not me!!!"
"They're...they're both flat!!!"
"Wow!!!"
Seeing this, Leila gently patted the heartbroken Basil's back and coaxed him in a gentle voice:
"Don't cry, Basil Sister. How could Master not like you? Basil Sister is so pretty, don't cry, don't cry..."
"This……"
Amu and the others felt a chill run down their spines, unable to believe that the usually domineering and icy-cold Basil would be like this after drinking.
They all started thinking about what excuse they could use if they ran into Basil tomorrow.
"Lord Luo Xiu."
Amu gave Luo Xiu a pleading look:
"It's wonderful that you like our gift. We... we'll be leaving now. Please take care of things, Commander."
"The others are fine, Amu, you stay behind!"
Basil raised her lowered head and looked at Amu and the others. Amidst their terrified gazes, she suddenly grinned:
"Come here, I have something important to tell you!"
"This……"
Amu looked at Luo Xiu with a troubled expression.
Basil also looked at Luo Xiu:
"Have him come over here! I need to talk to you about something important!"
Her eyes were misty, her lips were pursed, and her tone was almost coquettish.
Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly:
"It's alright, Lord Amu, you can go ahead. Lord Basil probably does have something important to discuss with you, and it should be a good thing for you."
He already guessed what Basil was going to do, but he still felt a bit of a headache about Basil's drunken state.
No, this woman can't be allowed to drink alcohol anymore.
After receiving Luo Xiu's assurance, Amu cautiously stepped forward, while the others tactfully left.
Basil grinned and said:
