Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

White shook his head helplessly:

"The teacher said there are no monsters in Kanriel. You were too young at the time, you must have seen it wrong."

"Damn it, I told you I didn't see it wrong!"

Tata slammed his hand on the table, startling the people drinking nearby.

So you mean the teacher was wrong?

Perhaps it was because he had drunk some alcohol, but White's stubbornness also came out.

"..."

Tata remained silent for a long while, and finally managed to utter a sentence:

"Teachers aren't always right."

"Then you can wait here, hole up in this lousy place! I'll stay with you and the teacher to get rid of the monsters in other places."

White, feeling the effects of the alcohol, shouted:

"I think you're just scared! I thought you were the bravest one, but it turns out you're even more timid than me!"

Faced with White's taunts, Tata remained silent, took out a few copper coins, placed them on the table, jumped off the chair, turned around, and said:

"Take good care of the teacher."

White and Tata haven't seen each other for a long time since then.

Haha watched as Tata went out again and again to search for the monster hidden in Kanriel, only to return disappointed time and time again.

But Tata never gave up; his personality has always been one of resilience in the face of setbacks.

As Tata grew older, the genius who had reached the fourth rank at the age of 33 finally reached the fifth rank at the age of 53.

That day, Haha saw him leave home excitedly early in the morning and not return until night.

His expression when he returned was completely different from when he left. His face was full of disappointment and frustration, and he was sometimes dazed. Tears flowed involuntarily, and he looked extremely distressed.

"The teacher is right, there are no monsters in Kanriel."

That was the only thing he said that night.

Chapter 124 Great Increase in Strength (Part 2)

Luo Xiu walked back to the alchemy shop.

The shop was still open. Tassanya moved a chair and sat at the door, staring intently at the street. Occasionally, passersby would be startled by her tall, muscular figure and murderous gaze.

Upon seeing Luo Xiu return, Tassanya's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up, her aura instantly changing as she bowed respectfully.

"Master, you're back."

"Ah."

Luo Xiu nodded slightly:

Have you had dinner yet?

"No, but dinner will be ready soon, just waiting for your return."

Tassanya spoke with her head down.

Luo Xiu walked into the grid shop from beside Tassanya:

"Close the door, let's eat."

Tonight's dinner is pan-fried steak with dry croissants and broccoli.

Although she learned cooking from Leila for a while, Tassanya is still better at pan-frying steak.

The two sat down at a small table, each with five large steaks in front of them. Luo Xiu's steak was well-done, while Tassanya's was rare.

Apart from Miler, everyone else in Luo Xiu's group had a large appetite, especially Tassanya. Perhaps due to the gradual reversion of her dragon bloodline, her appetite had been increasing.

In fact, five large steaks were just a piece of cake for her. Luo Xiu had told her to eat more, but she said that she couldn't eat more than her master at the dinner table. She would only have extra food on her own after Luo Xiu finished eating, so Luo Xiu let her have her way.

After a whirlwind meal, once Tassanya had cleared the table, Luo Xiu put down the alchemy book he was reading and waved to Tassanya:

"come over."

"What are your orders, Master?"

Tassanya stood ramrod straight in front of Luo Xiu, barely daring to breathe.

"I remember you're almost at the fourth rank, aren't you?"

Luo Xiu spoke up.

When he used [Enslavement] to subdue Tassanya, he had only just crossed the threshold of the third tier, but now he is already able to defeat lower-tier fourth-tier opponents.

The points added in between, if not for his well-rounded development of all attributes, would have been enough to create two fourth-tier characters.

Even though Tassanya's power allocation was low because she was a member of the Familia, she was almost ready to advance to the fourth rank.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Master's reward that Tassanya was able to reach the threshold of the fourth tier in such a short time."

Tassanya's expression was fervent, and his tall body trembled slightly with excitement.

"Ah."

Luo Xiu nodded:

"Actually, I feel that the relationship between you and Tassanya is not deep enough. This may be because we don't usually chat. So today I wanted to chat with you for a while to strengthen our relationship."

"To foster relationships..."

Tassanya's expression froze for a moment, but quickly, that stunned silence transformed into overwhelming excitement and ecstasy.

After being "enslaved" by Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu's position in her heart had already reached its peak, and he was someone she would always have to look up to and submit to.

How could she not be excited after hearing Luo Xiu say these words?

“Master…Master…please talk…I…I can.”

For the first time, a blush appeared on her dark brown face. Her tall, strong body swayed slightly, and her speech became intermittent and incoherent.

Before she met Luo Xiu, she had never thought about such a thing; it held no appeal for her whatsoever. But now, things were completely different.

"Very good, let's begin."

Luo Xiu coughed twice:

"You probably haven't had many conversations, so let's start with something simple."

Where were you born?

"Eh?"

Tassanya was taken aback. She wasn't very good at conversation, but this opening seemed... a little off.

"Master, I... I don't know where I was born."

Seeing a hint of disappointment flash across Luo Xiu's face, Tassanya hurriedly added:

"But, the place where I was born is surrounded by people of dragon blood like me. It's in a place that looks like a volcano, the sky is dark red, and you can often see dragons flying by. We don't know our parents, and we can't tell our brothers and sisters apart."

"Several adult dragonbloods are responsible for guiding us. Our daily routine consists of eating and fighting, and we also hold competitions regularly."

“Every competition eliminates a group of people, and each group ends up in a different place. After I was eliminated, I was sent to Dorrant.”

Luo Xiu listened carefully and nodded:

"So how good were you in there? Which batch were you eliminated in?"

"I was among the weakest in the group, with very thin bloodline. I only made it through the first round and was eliminated in the second round."

Recalling that experience, Tassanya's face darkened.

"I'm sorry, Master, Tassanya is so useless."

"How many dragonbloods like you were sent to Dorant?"

Luo Xiu asked.

"I was the only one in my batch."

Tassanya answered truthfully.

Where did you appear when you arrived in Dorrant?

"When I opened my eyes, I was in a very dark cage. I don't know where I was when I first arrived."

Luo Xiu then asked for some more details, and after confirming that Tassanya had no further information, he nodded:

"Alright, Tassanya, the chat is over."

Tassanya listened blankly to Luo Xiu's words, momentarily unable to react.

This...that's it?

She suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, and her expression betrayed her disappointment.

But Luo Xiu seemed oblivious to Tassanya's expression, and proceeded to take out his own booklet and begin writing and drawing.

Finally, he made some guesses about the relationship between the royal capital and the habitat of the dragon bloodline.

He felt that the Kingdom of Dorant might have a subordinate relationship with the Dragonblood Habitat, which would periodically send things to the capital of Dorant in some way as rewards or subsidies.

It's unlikely to be a trade, because Tassanya is considered "trash" in the Dragonblood habitat, but in Dorant, a Tier 3 Dragonblood is already considered quite powerful, at least at the Tier 3 level.

The two parties in the transaction should be roughly equal in strength.

However, some issues remain unresolved. For example, if it's a subordinate relationship, why would the Dragonblood Habitat allow the Slime Kingdom to establish a vassal state over Dorant? Furthermore, regarding Hill, that elf—Tassanya said Hill's situation was similar to hers—is Dorant also a vassal state of the Elf Habitat?

A country subjugated by two places? Would the dragonbloods and elves allow such a thing to happen?

Luo Xiu put down his pen and began to think carefully.

Seeing Luo Xiu's expression, Tassanya knew that her master was lost in thought again, which meant that this "chat" was truly over...

She walked somewhat dejectedly toward the corner of the wall.

At this moment, Luo Xiu suddenly raised his head, as if he had remembered something, and spoke to Tassanya:

"By the way, Tassanya, go do something for me."
