Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

After Luo Xiu and Leila left through the fifth door,

Botta stood behind the door, his gaze fixed on a pavilion in the arena.

He knew that Margaret was watching.

This is no small matter for the arena, and according to procedure, Margaret should handle it personally.

But she sent that fat man to handle it.

While it may seem that she chose the option to have Luo Xiu join the arena, she actually harbored resentment and wanted to harm Luo Xiu.

She is too proud, and her inability to lower herself has always been a major weakness.

The reason he asked Luo Xiu where he was just now was because...

This question was also asked to Margaret.

He knew that Margaret would definitely target Luo Xiu after he refused to join the Chamber of Commerce. At that point, Luo Xiu would be left with no other choice but to agree to join the Chamber of Commerce.

He just didn't expect that Luo Xiu was actually the owner of a free spot at the Adventurers' Academy.

His plan has failed; now it remains to be seen whether Margaret will back down.

This is hard to judge, because Margaret was always a crazy woman.

Especially in this crazy city, it seems even crazier.

Luo Xiu, Leila, and Tassanya stepped out of the fifth door.

I was immediately stunned by the sight before me.

Towering walls covered in curse marks and colorful potions, bottles and jars scattered everywhere as if they were trash, and passersby chatting as if they were arguing.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, like a mixture of gasoline and swill from a past life.

It was nighttime, but every household was brightly lit, and from time to time, colorful flames could be seen bursting forth from failed alchemy attempts, coloring the night sky.

On the wide, open road, you can see people "going crazy" at any time.

They were shouting things like "I've mastered it!" or "Back to the primitive! Back to nature!" and their expressions looked quite insane.

This is the outer perimeter of the main urban area that everyone wants to enter?

Luo Xiu was greatly shocked.

What's so great about this place? It doesn't even seem as good as CheLun Town.

Milair, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over from the side.

She handed several stones that emitted a grayish-white fluorescence to Luo Xiu and the others:

“Master, this is a pure white stone, which can resist the mental pollution caused by alchemical waste in the city.”

Luo Xiu took a stone that emitted a grayish-white fluorescence and immediately felt that the crazy mental power that he had originally resisted with his mental resistance had been transformed into a force blocked by the light emitted by the stone in his hand.

He asked in confusion:

"So there is a way to resist this kind of mental pollution? Then why do none of these people seem to be using this method?"

Milair shook his head:

"According to my subordinates, they have become accustomed to this kind of mental stimulation. They believe that it can enhance their excitement and inspiration, and they do not reject this feeling."

"Moreover, the pure white stone is not cheap. One stone can only resist mental pollution for about a month, but it costs 10 silver coins. Not everyone is willing to pay this fee."

Luo Xiu nodded:

“Mirel, well done. It’s only been half a day, and you look much better than you did at the beginning.”

Miler was pleased with Luo Xiu's praise, but she calmly nodded and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

“Mirel also needs to work harder. At least for now, he hasn’t found any subordinates he can completely trust, and he doesn’t have many people he can use, so his progress in taking control of the Knights will be relatively slow.”

Just as Luo Xiu was about to say something,

Suddenly, a squeaking sound swept overhead.

On the brightly lit street, a large patch of moving black shadows was reflected.

It's the bats' siege!

But the people on the street showed no fear or apprehension at the sight; instead, they all looked up at the sky with excitement, as if waiting for something.

Luo Xiu and the others also looked up at the swarm of demonic bats in the sky, which consisted of more than a dozen bats flapping their wings.

They hissed and shrieked, trying to pounce on the people in the street.

But at that very moment, on the high wall, layers of magic arrays engraved with intricate spells suddenly appeared from all directions, all aimed at the swarm of demonic bats.

Behind each array of magic circles stood a member of the knight order clad in silver armor.

As they channeled their magic into the magic circle.

The magic arrays began to slowly rotate.

A massive amount of magical power was accumulating.

Then it was launched with a roar!

Boom boom boom! ! !

With a deafening roar, the swarm of demonic bats in the sky instantly turned into a rain of blood, and some wings that survived the magical bombardment fell to the ground.

"Alas!!!"

The people on the ground were immediately excited at the sight before them.

They all pulled out their vessels, and then the blood raining down from the sky—these were all materials that could be used for alchemy.

Some people were even fighting over the broken wings of the demon bats.

Are these things permitted under the Canrreal Convention?

Luo Xiu asked.

Miler nodded and took a yellow booklet out of her magic pocket and handed it to Luo Xiu.

She knew her master's habits, and that's why she brought the Canril Convention with her.

"The Canril Convention does not prohibit fighting in the street."

Luo Xiu took the booklet, and as if remembering something, asked Miler:

Were all those who shot down the demon bats mages from the Knights Order?

Milair shook his head:

“Kanriel is very rich. He has built a complete set of magic arrays on the wall. As long as you input magic power, anyone, whether a mage or not, can activate this set of magic arrays for defense.”

"Is this even possible? Do these demon bats attack so often?"

Luo Xiu asked.

"It doesn't happen often. They are intelligent, and they only occasionally send some low-level demon bats to test the waters. Usually, it happens every few days."

Milair replied.

Luo Xiu pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said to Milair:

"Miriel, you just said you have no one you can trust among your subordinates, right?"

Milair nodded, a little confused, not understanding why the topic had suddenly come back to them.

"That's great."

Luo Xiu looked at Leila and asked:

"Leila, how about you serve as a soldier in the Knights for a few months? I'll have Milair take good care of you throughout."

Chapter 89 The Madness of Mammon Street (Two chapters today, each more intense than the last)

Leila's face froze when she heard Luo Xiu ask her the question.

She wasn't stunned because her master wanted her to join the Knights, but because she had never imagined she could join them.

She is a half-orc.

Orcs are treated unfairly by others in many ways on this continent.

She eats a lot and is prone to illness. If she hadn't met a master, she wouldn't have been able to transform indefinitely, nor would she have been able to advance to the third tier.

If she wants to become stronger, she can only buy skill books to learn a profession.

But no one would be willing to invest in orcs.

As for knightly orders and the like, that's utter nonsense.

“Master, Leila…”

This is a rare instance of Luo Xiu questioning Leila, and also a rare instance where Leila did not directly agree to her master's request.

Leila hung her head, looking dejected.

In a sense, she is still a child. Her life truly began after she met Luo Xiu.

She actually really wanted to join the Knights.

But she was afraid she wouldn't do a good job and would embarrass Luo Xiu.

But the next second, Luo Xiu half-squatted down, leaned close to her, and smiled reassuringly:

"It's okay, Leila. If you don't want to go, then we won't go."

After saying that, Luo Xiu gently patted Leila's head.

That's exactly what he thought.

He didn't use the "scrutiny" technique on Leila, so he didn't know what Leila was thinking. He just assumed that Leila didn't want to go to an unfamiliar environment.

Leila was completely different to him. He always remembered that rainy night when Leila carried him around, begging from everyone she could to keep him alive, even selling her body to use as magic material.

From that moment on, he never imagined that he and Leila would be separated, which is why he took the initiative to ask Leila about it this time, because going to the Knights would definitely take a long time.

Unexpectedly, Leila took the initiative to tug at his sleeve, hesitated for a long while, and finally spoke timidly with a trembling voice:
