Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"How come I never realized you could be so annoying?"

"I noticed before that you were very rude."

Milair was referring to the fact that Tassanya had entered the room without knocking.

Seeing Tassanya's frustrated expression, she felt relieved, sat back down at her desk, and prepared to continue working hard.

"that……"

At this moment, Nika, who had been standing to the side, timidly asked:

Is there anything I can help you with?

Upon hearing this, Milair looked up, pondered for a moment, and then smiled:

“Of course, no problem, Miss Nika. It would be great if you could help. Just look at this pile of files here, okay? Just like with Tassanya, you just need to copy down the names and compare them.”

"Okay, okay, I'll do my best."

Nika smiled happily when she heard that she could help. She heard that Milair was unwilling to let the Knights help, but now he agreed to let her participate, which she saw as a recognition and trust.

What she needs right now is precisely this kind of trust, something that makes her feel useful.

Seeing the smile on Nika's thin face, Milair sighed inwardly.

She didn't actually trust Nika that much, so none of the scrolls she pointed out to Nika were related to the missing persons case; they were all files from other cases.

In the past, she wouldn't have wanted to do these troublesome things; she would have simply refused Nika.

But perhaps after following Luo Xiu for a while, she has started to become a bit "troublesome".

"start!"

She put aside her thoughts, stood among a pile of parchment rolls, and waved her hand dramatically.

"Yes, sir!"

Nika happily raised her hand. Tassanya, sitting on the ground beside her, responded weakly, though reluctantly, as a reply to Milair.

……

It's getting light.

Luo Xiu sat in a chair, his hands in a gesture of holding something. The magic circles between his hands kept changing, and the light reflected from the magic circles reflected various colors. Between the magic circles, a ball of light green liquid twisted and turned with the changing shape of the magic circles.

Finally, Luo Xiu gradually closed his hands, and the pale green liquid calmed down.

A faint glow emanated from the center of the liquid, signifying the success of the alchemy.

Luo Xiu let out a long breath and collected the light green liquid into a bottle.

This newly refined potion is one of the more difficult second-tier potions to refine; it is a vitality potion.

As the name suggests, this medicine can give the user a glimmer of hope.

It's not a cure, but more like a life-extending treatment. If given to a dying person, it can prolong their life by two or three seconds.

In addition, it can be used to water plants, which can promote plant growth.

The number of magic arrays required to refine this potion is four times that of the corrosive potion, which means that Luo Xiu's alchemy skills have completely entered the second tier.

After a period of consolidation, we can begin to attempt the refining of third-tier potions.

Once the third-tier potion is successfully refined, earning 100 gold coins will only be a matter of time.

Completing the Tata-Jiao assignment is just around the corner.

He picked up the eight or nine potions laid out on the ground, put them into his magic pocket, and walked out of the alchemy shop.

While practicing alchemy tonight, he encountered many unexpected problems. Although he eventually solved them all, he still felt that the methods he used were not the optimal solutions. Since it was still dark and there were few people on the street, he wanted to go and ask his teacher for advice.

When they arrived on the street, Qiao Wei and Kado were still lying side by side, both unconscious.

In fact, they should have woken up long ago, but Luo Xiu used them to test many potions during the alchemy process.

For example, sleeping potions, numbness potions, intermediate slowing potions, hardening potions...

Both were second-tier potions, so their effects would be negligible compared to fourth-tier potions. However, the large dosage and the fact that both were unconscious made them very vulnerable.

After inhaling so much medicinal mist, Luo Xiu noticed that the two men's faces were faintly green when he passed by them.

"After all, it's a fourth-tier item; it shouldn't have any problems so quickly..."

Luo Xiu muttered to himself.

He walked to the front of the Tata Gate, and to his surprise, Haha on the gate was wide awake, looking very energetic.

"Haha, Your Excellency, you're up very early today."

Luo Xiu spoke up.

According to his routine, Haha usually only wakes up when the sun is high in the sky, except when I wake him up in the morning.

"No, Lord Luo Xiu, I didn't get up early, I just haven't rested yet."

Haha opened her mouth, her voice unusually soft, as if she were deliberately lowering her voice and whispering to Luo Xiu.

"No rest?"

Luo Xiu was taken aback:

"What happened again?"

"We have a few guests over tonight."

Haha said:

"Several important guests"

The drawn-out "haha" sound, combined with its winking and smirking expression, confirmed that the person currently in the Tata family's house was definitely not a simple individual.

"Oh, okay, then I'll come again tomorrow."

Without any hesitation, Luo Xiu made a decisive decision.

Tata is meeting with guests, and there's no reason for me to disturb her. Besides, judging from Haha's expression, these "important guests" are definitely not to be trifled with.

Luo Xiu turned to leave, but Haha's tongue stuck out and grabbed his clothes from behind.

Seeing Luo Xiu's slightly puzzled look, Haha said helplessly:

"Excuse me, Lord Luo Xiu, you seem to be a bit slow. Lord Tata already knows you've arrived, and... he's inviting you in."

"..."

Luo Xiu sighed helplessly. With no other option, he pushed open the door and went inside.

This time, without needing the guidance of the black mist, Luo Xiu easily found the reception room.

As soon as Luo Xiu stepped into the hall, he sensed that something was wrong.

In the hall at this moment, four single sofas were arranged in a square, and in each sofa sat a figure with an extremely imposing presence.

Sitting on the sofa directly opposite the living room door was Tata, whose tall figure was shrouded in a dark mist as always, with his arms resting on the armrests and his body leaning slightly back against the backrest.

On the sofa to his left sat a man of medium build, with a buzz cut and stubble, his hands clasped together on his lap, his posture slightly hunched, with the demeanor of an honest man. But for some reason, when Luo Xiu looked over, he always felt that the sofa the man was sitting on was a few feet lower than the other sofas.

It wasn't until he looked at the sofa legs that he realized they were sunk deep into the floor.

On the sofa to Tata's right was a woman dressed like a wealthy lady, who looked to be in her thirties or forties. She had long, wavy blonde hair, crossed her legs, and wore a dress with a slit that went up to her knees, revealing her full thighs and high heels. She looked at Luo Xiu, who had just entered the room, with a slight smile, her gaze brazenly taking in his appearance.

Luo Xiu remained calm in the face of the woman's scrutiny.

He could sense that women were far more conservative than they appeared, especially their sitting posture, which was one that could be adjusted to a defensive stance at any time.

Moreover, the woman emanated a faint platinum-gold light, which was an outward-radiating holy light.

This woman is a paladin, and a very strong one at that.

The figure sitting on the last sofa opposite Tata was the most imposing of all, even subtly surpassing Tata in presence.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the figure is stronger than Tata, but it certainly means that the figure's personality is more assertive and flamboyant than Tata's.

The figure was sitting with her back to Luo Xiu, her face obscured, but she could be vaguely identified as a woman.

Under Luo Xiu's scrutiny, the aura of their ranks could be seen on their bodies.

The two people on either side of the tower are half green and half blue.

This was also the first time Luo Xiu had seen this color; it should be the color of the upper fourth rank.

The figure sitting directly opposite Tata was dressed in green.

Fifth order.

Another Tier 5 besides Tata.

Which of the six fifth-tier members of Kanriel could it be? Luo Xiu pondered.

First, we can rule out Earl Shek; the remaining five are unlikely to be large estate owners either.

That leaves only the Dean of the Alchemist Academy, the Dean of the Sorcerer Academy, the President of the Kanriel Merchant Guild, and the Grand Master of the Kanriel Knights.

If they weren't some hidden fourth-tier individuals, then any one of them would have an extraordinary status.

"Here he comes."

Tata spoke up.

"Yes, teacher, I heard you were looking for me."

Luo Xiu bowed respectfully.

"Actually, it wasn't me who contacted you."

Tata's voice was as hoarse as ever:

"It's those three who want to see you."

"I don't remember when I've seen these gentlemen before."

Luo Xiu told the truth.

"Hehe, Tata, your student is quite interesting."

The woman, who looked like a wealthy lady, seemed to have a low threshold for laughter; she burst into laughter at Luo Xiu's words.

"He hit someone but didn't know who that person's teacher was."
