Who is the strongest among these six?
Luo Xiu asked.
"It should be that mother dragon, but the mage academy also has a very powerful one."
Luo Xiu nodded.
"On which day after the settlement begins do you plan to evacuate?"
Luo Xiu asked.
Hill was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Luo Xiu knew about the Familiar Land.
But recalling Luo Xiu's horrifying performance just now, she felt it made sense and quickly spoke up:
"On the second night after the start of the Familiarization, the slimes will begin packing, and the packing will be completed on the morning of the third day after the start of the Familiarization."
"How do I know if you're lying to me?"
Luo Xiu stared directly into Hill's eyes, his gaze icy.
Hill panicked and quickly said:
"I'm absolutely not lying to you. You can find someone to verify it, anyone will do. That mother dragon knows too. Yes, you can find that mother dragon, she will definitely know."
"Where is she?"
Luo Xiu spoke up.
“Sunset Jungle, she’s been looking for you there. But she’ll definitely be back today, because the gravitas’ event starts tomorrow afternoon.”
After all, having been by the side of the third son of the Lord of Bandanda, Hill clearly knew more inside information.
Luo Xiu nodded:
"last question."
Hill felt a surge of joy:
"You asked."
"Have you ever thought you'd die here? Die in Wheel Town?"
Luo Xiu spoke softly.
Hill's expression changed drastically in an instant.
She begged frantically, her face contorted, tears and snot streaming down her face:
"No, no, don't kill me, please, please, I can follow you, please—"
Before Hill could finish speaking, his neck was snapped.
Her incredulous expression was forever etched on her face.
Just as Luo Xiu said, she never thought she would die in Wheel Town.
He died in a tiny town he had never even heard of before.
She died at the hands of the people she once thought were lowly.
She had maintained her "etiquette" for so long, but she couldn't keep it up at the very end of her life.
Of course, according to her rules, those who fail to maintain proper etiquette deserve to die.
That seems reasonable.
Luo Xiu deftly packed her body and the bow into his magic pouch, left the alley, and headed home.
He did want to find a spouse, but Hill was not an option.
She is too weak.
What followed could only be accomplished by a strong person. Hill was too weak, and her usefulness was limited to the first step of the plan, so she died.
However, the death was still worthwhile.
[Host's first kill of an elf, +1 point]
[Host has slain a Tier 3 spirit, points +20]
It seems that killing humans is the only thing that doesn't add points, which is a pleasant surprise.
The precarious points were finally replenished a little.
A wave of drowsiness washed over Luo Xiu, and he yawned.
I haven't seen my Leila in a long time, and I miss her a little.
I haven't even reached my doorstep yet.
Luo Xiu saw a familiar little figure sitting on the steps of his house, his head in his hands, looking in his direction.
"Master! You're back!!!"
Leila spotted Luo Xiu from a distance and happily ran up the steps toward him.
She wouldn't have dared to throw herself into Luo Xiu's arms without his permission.
But Luo Xiu opened his arms.
So she still rushed in.
"Did you miss me?"
Luo Xiu's smile was gentle.
Chapter 38 Tassanya's Fury
"Did you miss me?"
When asked by their owner,
Leila's face turned bright red, and she gave a very soft "Mmm".
Seeing that Leila looked somewhat tired, Luo Xiu asked:
"Didn't you sleep well last night, Leila?"
Leila nodded.
She kept worrying about whether Luo Xiu would get into trouble while he was out alone, and couldn't sleep at all.
It sat at the door all night, waiting for its owner to come home.
"Did Master eat anything outside? Leila has prepared breakfast and lunch."
"That's great, I'm actually hungry."
Luo Xiu laughed.
After Leila quickly tidied up and prepared, the two of them ate their meal about ten minutes later.
Leila didn't know when Luo Xiu would return, so she prepared both breakfast and lunch.
Breakfast consisted of fried eggs, milk, and bread.
Lunch consisted of meat pies, pan-fried pork tenderloin, and boiled broccoli.
While the master and servant ate, Luo Xiu explained the current situation to Leila.
Upon hearing the word "dwelling land," Leila was so surprised that she didn't even have time to swallow the pie in her mouth, and said with her mouth bulging:
"So everyone in town will become slaves to the slimes?"
Luo Xiu nodded.
Leila remained silent, quietly chewing the pie in her mouth.
Having been a slave herself, she knew what that felt like, but she also knew that these were things she couldn't concern herself with.
Just do what your master says.
Anyway, she believed that her master would definitely have a way.
While munching on a piece of white bread, Luo Xiu took out the notebook with the plan written on it and a pen from his pocket.
Looking at the first item in the notebook:
"Have a chat with Hill and ask him about the nobles' combat strength and Tassanya's location."
Luo Xiu picked up his pen and put a checkmark on the back.
Actually, that battle wasn't as simple as it looked.
The reason they were able to win relatively easily.
Firstly, it's because of the terrain that was prepared in advance.
More importantly, he used almost the strongest combo he had at the moment.
First, he used Dust to lure Hill into firing an arrow, then used Thorns of Protection to take the arrow's damage back, and then instantly used Heal to heal his own wounds before closing in.
Hill's arrows were incredibly powerful.
Even with the Thorns Protection reducing the pain, he felt intense, searing pain the instant he was hit; thankfully, he had a healing spell.
It's worth noting that he didn't use Thorn Protection or Healing spells when he killed the Goblin Priest.
That's why this battle looked so easy.
He then looked at the second item written in the notebook:
"Talk to Tassanya and ask her if she would like to be your dependent."
Remembering what Hill said about Tassanya being in Sunset Jungle,
Luo Xiu looked up at Leila, who was taking a big bite of broccoli:
"Leila, I have to go out for a bit. Do you want to come with me?"
Leila, puffing out her cheeks like a hamster, nodded vigorously.
They can go anywhere with their owner.
Luo Xiu nodded and took a big bite of the white bread in his hand:
