Chapter 247: Going deep into the enemy camp

"what did you say?"

Moberland wondered if he had misheard and turned to look at Luo Xiu.

"I said, even if the condition of this deal is that you become a Starseed, are you still going to refuse me?"

Luo Xiu smiled and looked into Mo Bolan's beautiful eyes, speaking each word clearly.

Do you know what you're saying?

Mo Bolan felt her tightly clenched right hand trembling slightly. Was it anger at Luo Xiu's teasing? Or did she actually believe a little of what Luo Xiu said? She couldn't say for sure.

But she was certain that beneath her seemingly calm exterior, her heart was in turmoil, and she was on the verge of losing all semblance of decorum.

Luo Xiu naturally noticed this as well, without even needing to use [Scrutiny], because Moberan in front of him was not good at hiding his emotions.

He chuckled and said:

"Of course, if you don't believe what I'm saying, I think we can sign a deal."

He opened his palm, and a magic circle depicting a book bound by chains slowly appeared in his hand.

Moberland was so angry he laughed:

"You want to use a low-level, general skill like [Trade] to make a contract with me? To be honest, I have at least three or four ways to break such a contract. If you're trying to insult me, then I think we can stop talking."

"Low-grade? Perhaps."

Luo Xiu put away the magic array in his palm. He hadn't added any points to [Trade] yet, so calling it low-level wouldn't be wrong.

"This is a gift a friend gave me tonight, and to be honest, I really like it."

He looked at Moberland, who was turning to leave again, and said slowly:

"Are you really unwilling to give it a try? I can tell you still seem quite eager to become a Starseed."

"Desire is one thing, but don't you find what you're saying ridiculous? By creating the Star Seed, do you really think that having some talent gives you the right to do whatever you want?"

Moberland's face turned completely cold, and he no longer held back in his words.

"I don't feel like I can do whatever I want."

Luo Xiu wasn't angry at all because of Mo Bolan's words. Although their perspectives were different, he still said softly:

“But I do not regard the Starseed as an honor, nor do I consider other Starseeds as my rivals. My goals go beyond that.”

mad.

As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, Mo Bolan could no longer hold back and turned to look at Luo Xiu coldly:

"I originally thought you were a suitable candidate to become a Star Seed, but now it seems I was wrong. Someone as arrogant and conceited as you is far from being a Star Seed."

"Inviting you to become a starseed was the biggest mistake I ever made."

"Twenty days from now, when you meet other star species on Haiqing, I hope you will remember what you said today."

After saying that, Moberland seemed unwilling to stay a second longer and quickly left.

Luo Xiu watched as Mo Bolan's figure transformed into a streak of white and disappeared into the boundless night, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Master, should we ask Leila to bring Lord Moberland back?"

Leila looked at Luo Xiu's appearance and asked him a question.

Luo Xiu shook his head:

"No need, I don't care about her as a person."

He reached out and patted Leila's head:

"I was only concerned about the dress she was wearing."

Leila nodded thoughtfully.

Luo Xiu laughed:

"Of course, it's not about asking Leila to find a way to get that dress."

Leila blushed slightly when Luo Xiu guessed correctly. "Not the skirt? Then what is it?"

She looked up at Luo Xiu, her big eyes filled with confusion. Luo Xiu smiled, reached out and pinched her cheek, then yawned.

"Leila, I'm tired."

"Then let's go back to sleep, Master!"

Leila immediately put the matter out of her mind and excitedly ran into the tent to warm up her bed.

Since his master didn't want him to participate in this matter, there must be a reason.

This is the tacit understanding between the master and servant.

……

Three days later.

The entire Knights of Rauwanpu, and even the entire Rauwanpu, was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Moreover, this atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.

The source of this jubilation naturally stemmed from Luo Xiu and the Grand Commander's "great achievement" in slaying a sixth-tier demon, which was then widely reported after being embellished by various newspapers.

The reason why the joy gradually deepened was because of another thing.

Recently, the concentration of magic energy in all the seas surrounding Rowanpu has been found to have decreased significantly. After multiple investigations by the Lord of Rowanpu, it has been announced that the outer seas of Rowanpu have all become safe sea areas.

In other words, there are no traces of monsters in the entire outer sea area. Fishermen can fish safely, and merchant ships can sail with peace of mind to other small coastal countries.

This was undoubtedly a great joyous occasion, and many residents of Rovanpu unfurled banners that read, "May the Sea God protect the Grand Master and Rovanpu."

This is a unique celebration ritual in Rovanpu. These simple and honest people express their feelings in this most direct way whenever they have a happy occasion.

Of course, most people had never even heard of the name "Luo Xiu" on the banner.

Therefore, most newspapers have changed their headlines in recent days to "Who is Luo Xiu?"

The whole of Rovaniem is now enveloped in joy, except for one place where the atmosphere is completely opposite.

Inside the main tent of the [Demon Slayer] Knights' camp.

"No, no, I don't agree."

Basil slammed her hand on the armrest of her seat, stared wide-eyed at Luo Xiu, and made a final, futile resistance.

"Whether you agree or not, this matter has already been decided."

Luo Xiu smiled and stepped forward, reaching out to flick Basil's forehead.

This intimate gesture made Basil blush instantly, and she covered her forehead and said:

"Don't think you can get me to agree like this. Absolutely not. Why don't you ask Leila if she agrees?"

"..."

Luo Xiu was silent for a few seconds before tentatively speaking:

"I forgot to tell you, Leila is coming with me."

Upon hearing this, Basil's blush turned from shyness to anger, and she stared at Luo Xiu in disbelief:

"How many more things have you been doing behind my back?!"

After he finished speaking, Basil fell silent.

Clearly, this question is self-humiliating; two guys who sleep in the same bed every day are very likely to have already done everything.

For a moment, she felt like a clown.

"You go!"

After a moment of silence, Basil spoke, her voice trembling with tears:

"It would be best if he died out there!"

Luo Xiu looked at Basil with gentle eyes.

What they were discussing was Luo Xiu's latest plan.

In recent days, the monsters' activity range has been greatly reduced, and even the monster tides have stopped appearing.

This unusual phenomenon naturally caused a frenzy among the residents of Rauwanpu, but it was not good news for Rosh alone.

Without the Demon Tide, there would be no points to gain, and at such a crucial time, the stagnation in his rank advancement was unacceptable to him.

Fortunately, after investigation by the Grand Master, the Lord of Rovanp, and several deans of the Rovanp Adventurers' Academy, they discovered many monster encampments serving as sentry posts.

Therefore, he decided to go to the monster camp and hunt, just like he did in Wheel Town.

This decision was undoubtedly very risky. Getting close to the monster's camp meant that they might have to face high-level monsters directly.

There are many variables involved.

This is why Luo Xiu didn't choose to take the initiative in Kanriel. If high-level monsters take the initiative, Dorant will naturally have high-level monsters to deal with them. But if you go to the monsters' side to die, the high-level monsters won't stop you.

But now we have no choice but to do it.

Luo Xiu stepped forward and patted Basil on the head:

"Don't worry, Leila and I will be fine."

Basil lowered her head, the scene of the old regimental commander who raised her passing away flashing through her mind. The sadness brought by that separation was the first shock in her life for someone who was naturally insensitive to emotions.

She worried that Luo Xiu would leave her like the old commander.

After a long silence, she murmured softly:

"Go ahead... but you have to promise me you'll come back safely. Sixth or seventh rank, a person's life is only a hundred years long, what difference does it make when you step into it? Besides, even if you don't get in, so what? Even if you're trapped here for the rest of your life, so what? At least you'll be alright..."

"Hey...did you hear me?"

She looked up, but Luo Xiu and Leila were no longer there.

In other words, she had just been talking to herself for quite a while.

A terrifying aura spread through the tent, as if the gates of a demon had been opened.
