Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Hermes urged him on, not wanting to hear this part, growing increasingly resentful as he listened.

He wanted to know what had caused the previously favorable situation to turn into what it is today.

"And then? Then Lord Luo Xiu arrived."

Lodey described the scene as vividly as possible using his gestures:

"When Lord Luo Xiu appeared, it was like a god descending from the heavens. With a single punch, he punched a huge hole in the swarm of demonic bats in the air. He ran like a beam of light, swiftly wiping out the entire swarm of demonic bats. A large rain of blood fell from the sky, and the wind howled. To be honest..."

Lode spoke with great enthusiasm, but Hermes felt only a chill in his heart.

Luo Xiu?

That blond boy who defeated three opponents in a single duel? Tata's student?

How can it be?

He knew how many demon bats had entered the outer perimeter of Kanriel this time.

Even if Luo Xiu could fight three against one, so what?

Let alone one against three, even if Luo Xiu could take on ten, he still couldn't win!

How could this be? How could this be?!

"Luo Xiu..."

Shek murmured to himself.

He used the "Moon in the Water" potion to prevent Luo Xiu from leaving the city because he was worried that Luo Xiu would find Tata and reveal the story of the Gold-Earning Casino.

Unexpectedly, Lucas had already obtained evidence in this regard and informed Tata in advance at the meeting.

The events that the clone created by [Moon in the Water] experienced were completely independent. Even the original body did not know what happened afterward. But now it seems that the young man must have defeated the clone of [Moon in the Water].

Once he reached the outer perimeter, he prevented the tragedy from happening.

All of this... is simply unbelievable.

He had an indifferent personality and generally didn't care much about things outside of Kanriel.

But now, he wants to see that young man.

He wasn't the only one who wanted to see Luo Xiu.

A dull thud echoed from the ground in the distance.

A small, silver-white figure rushed over from a distance and stopped in front of the group.

Do you know where that young man named Luo Xiu is?

The silver-helmeted loli reached out and grabbed Shek's arm, her expression urgent.

Shek shook his head and smiled helplessly:

"Actually, I also want to know about this."

"It seems you also know about what this young man did."

"Of course, that's an exaggeration. He actually managed to hold off the riot in the Demon Bat Cave."

"what?!"

As soon as the silver-helmeted loli finished speaking, Hermes, standing to the side, blurted out words of astonishment.

Sheke was also shocked; the riot in the Demon Bat Cave had been suppressed by that young man named Luo Xiu.

How much did he actually do?

"I don't know the specifics either. The team that went to the Demon Bat Cave hasn't returned yet for some reason, but that's what I heard from the group."

The little girl spoke:

"Because the team from the cave had not returned for a long time, the group sent a small team to the cave entrance to investigate the situation and found that the riot in the cave had been quelled."

"I heard that the guy named Luo Xiu was the last to arrive."

"..."

"..."

Hermes was devastated at that moment.

The fifth-tier mushroom monsters haven't broken through, the main city hasn't been breached, and now the riot in the cave has been quelled.

All failed.

He was filled with remorse at that moment. He should have increased his emotional manipulation on the dueling stage and forced Vivian to attack Luo Xiu.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Given the current situation, this transaction must be terminated in order to minimize losses.

The subsequent plans can no longer proceed; we must proceed slowly and devise a gradual strategy.

We need to tell Lucas about this, because the Mushroom Monster's orders are with him, and we need to keep him calm.

Thinking of this, he addressed the people around him:

"I'll go check on the situation at the college."

After saying that, without waiting for Xie Ke to speak, a floating magic array appeared beneath his feet, and he flew directly towards the academy.

Even if this unusual behavior might alert Shek and his men, he couldn't care less at the moment.

As long as Lucas is told to stop the subsequent plans, even if Shek and his team discover something, there will be absolutely no evidence.

If you deny it to the death, no one can do anything about it.

But before he could fly very far...

Two deafening roars exploded on the north and south sides of Kanriel, as if a demon god had been born or a thunderbolt had struck, causing many residents to experience a momentary loss of hearing.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Hermes' face beneath his black and white mask looked ashen, as if he had just been slapped, and a hint of dejection flashed in his eyes.

Stupid Lucas, damn Lucas!

Chapter 198 The Great Manor Owner

The main urban area of ​​Kanriel is long and narrow, stretching for dozens of miles from the direction of sunrise to the direction of sunset.

At this moment, earth-shattering roars came from both the north and south sides simultaneously, accompanied by the appearance of two incomparably powerful auras that swept outwards with terrifying force.

Hermes was deeply distressed.

This roar meant that Lucas had carried out the follow-up plan and awakened the two fifth-tier beings.

Even if two fifth-tier beings are awakened, success cannot be guaranteed 100% in the current situation.

Although they have more fifth-tier combat power, there are still so many low-tier combat power remaining in the city. If they cannot take down Kanriel in a very short time with minimal losses, the capital will definitely send reinforcements.

Dorrant might fear the powerful Slime Kingdom, the goblin tribe that still retains some Tier 7 remains, the ancient mermaid ruins, and the powerful, flood-drenched lizards.

But they would never be afraid of a severely weakened demon bat cave or a mushroom monster that was nearly wiped out.

He was furious, never expecting that Lucas would lose his mind at this moment and completely disregard the overall situation.

"Idiot, complete idiot!"

With the magic circle beneath his feet activating at full speed, he sped towards the Sorcerer Academy.

He wanted to find that old man with a beard longer than his life and get to the bottom of what this fool was up to and what to do next.

Before long, he arrived at the gloomy, ivy-covered sorcerer's academy and rushed straight through the closed window into the room at the very center of the top floor.

Glass shards scattered all over the ground with a clattering sound.

Behind the huge, dark-patterned wooden table, Lucas sat calmly in a chair, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, a stark contrast to the man who had been so angry just a few dozen minutes earlier that his white beard was trembling.

He remained expressionless as Hermes burst in, as if he had expected this to happen.

"Would you like a cup, Hermes? Freshly arrived Tarikri black tea, with milk from a young heifer of just the right age."

Lucas raised his glass, only to be interrupted abruptly by Hermes:

"Go to hell!"

Hermes was furious; his eyes were bloodshot beneath his black and white mask.

"Don't be so impatient, Hermes. In my memory, you have always been the most elegant one. As a mage specializing in emotions, your greatest strength is controlling your emotions, isn't it?"

Lucas's words had an effect; Hermes stared at him, took a few deep breaths, and his expression calmed down.

"What exactly do you want, Lucas?"

"What for? To execute the plan, of course."

A faint smile appeared on Lucas's face.

"But the first half has already failed. If you rashly start the plan, all that awaits us is the abyss of failure."

Hermes seemed to have truly calmed down completely; even when mentioning defeat, his emotions didn't fluctuate much. He gazed at Lucas's slightly downcast face:

"We should pause first and wait for the right opportunity—"

"When is the right time?"

It seemed that Hermes' words had touched a nerve with Lucas, and he finally tore off his calm facade, abruptly standing up.

He charged toward Hermes like a mad, aged lion:

"Tell me, Hermes! When is the right time?"

"How old are you? Fifty? Fifty-five? Do you know how old I am? I'm already seventy-nine!"

"At this age, I might just fall asleep and never wake up again! If I had kids, they'd be the same age as you, you damn brat, by now. Tell me, when is the right time?!"

This sudden outburst silenced Hermes. Lucas stared into Hermes' dark brown eyes for a few seconds before speaking, word by word:

"If the first half failed, that's your responsibility; it's your problem."

"Since you failed, you have no right to criticize me. Just cooperate with me."
