Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

The difference this time was that he was accompanied by a woman dressed as a priestess, and the two of them walked towards Luo Xiu together.

The woman wore a wooden priest's mask that covered her nose, and her face was painted with colorful lines from the corners of her mouth to the sides of her cheeks. Her snow-white neck was exposed from the collar of her priest's robe, and she held a wooden staff that shimmered with white fluorescence in her hand.

The reason Luo Xiu could still tell she was a woman even though her face was covered by a mask was not only because of her long brown hair, but also because of her beautiful figure, which even her priestess robe could not conceal.

Luo Xiu activated his [Scrutiny] ability, and the woman's body shone with a light that was half green and half blue.

Combined with the woman's flawless and delicate skin, she looked very young. He immediately realized that she might be one of the seven young geniuses at the upper-level fourth rank in Kanriel, the same upper-level fourth rank genius from the Chamber of Commerce.

Emotional state: Disdain, indifference

Mental state: Stable

It seems they've already recognized me.

Luo Xiu stood up, smiled at the woman dressed as a priest, and said:

"You two gentlemen are approaching me. Is there something you need?"

"You are Master Tata's student?"

The woman dressed as a priest spoke, her voice melodious but cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"If I said no, would you believe me?"

Luo Xiu smiled.

"Although I don't like Gallo."

The woman dressed as a priest spoke:

“But I still hope he can just kill you, like he killed Memphis back then.”

"Anyone outside of Kanriel dares to dream of having a place in Kanriel? They are simply overestimating themselves."

The woman's words were full of sarcasm, yet they remained straightforward, as if stating a fact, or perhaps she simply didn't take Luo Xiu seriously at all.

"Is that Lord Memphis also an outsider?"

Luo Xiu smiled, seemingly unaffected by the woman's words.

The mention of Memphis caused a flicker of emotion in the woman's expression; a cold glint appeared at the corner of her lips, as if she were recalling a scene that brought her pleasure.

"Gallo beheaded him with one sword, and blood gushed into the air like a fountain, with one drop even landing on my mask."

"At that moment, on that day, on that night, the whole of Kanriel was in a frenzy."

Chapter 135 The War Priestess! (I was sick, so it's a bit late, sorry)

"That night the moon was exceptionally round, bright and magnificent, like a divine halo, celebrating Kanriel's successful punishment of the outsiders who wanted to usurp the throne."

The priestess-like woman continued speaking. She could clearly feel the force in her grip on the staff; the veins on the back of her hand bulged, indicating that she was genuinely excited about that night.

Luo Xiu didn't quite understand what a stranger meant to the woman in front of him, but he was already used to encountering madmen in Kanriel.

"As the champion of the first tournament in the past five years, did the residents of Kanriel not cheer and applaud when Lord Memphis reached the top?"

He smiled and said:

"Or is it that for the people of Kanriel, they just like excitement, so they don't care whether they are from out of town or not? They will cheer if Memphis reaches the top, and they will cheer if Gallo kills Memphis."

"Perhaps you are the only one who dislikes outsiders."

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, the woman's upturned lips fell back, and her expression darkened.

It seems that Luo Xiu's words hit the nail on the head. Kanriel is not a city that rejects outsiders, but it genuinely hates them.

"There's no point in being quick-witted. When Gallo cuts off your head with his sword, everyone will cheer."

The woman suppressed her anger and tried her best not to lose her composure.

"Have you signed up for this duel?"

Luo Xiu laughed.

"It's a pity I'm not from the Adventurers' Academy, otherwise I really would like to do it myself."

The priestess said coldly.

"Since you haven't signed up for the duel, it's quite obvious who's just being verbally aggressive."

Luo Xiu chuckled, then, without giving the priestess a chance to speak, lay back down on the sofa and gently closed his eyes.

"I need to rest now, and I hope you will not disturb me any further. The Chamber of Commerce has always been known for its service, and you don't want to ruin its reputation, do you?"

Hearing Luo Xiu's words, Lordey's eyelids twitched.

The priestess-like woman beside him was the runner-up of the first tournament, the [Berserk Priestess] Eliga. As a priestess, her fighting style was known for its violence, which was closely related to her fiery personality.

Perhaps because she was in the Chamber of Commerce, she usually seemed to be just not very talkative, but those who knew her knew that it was the result of her trying her best to suppress herself.

The student of Master Tata in front of him had only seen Luo Xiu fight before, but he never expected Luo Xiu to be so sarcastic.

Sure enough, after Luo Xiu finished speaking, the staff in Elijah's hand creaked softly as her hand trembled slightly. The murderous aura emanating from her could be felt even from a distance.

Many guests in the hall turned around and cast their gazes.

Lode wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, steeled himself, and reached out to tug at the hem of Elijah's priestess robe.

Elijah turned around abruptly and glared at him fiercely, causing Lord to catch his breath.

In the end, Elijah held back, merely letting out a cold snort before heading towards the guild's gate.

Lord followed Elijah out of the main gate and saw her walk straight to a pillar at the side of the guild's gate. She slammed her head down on the pillar with a loud thud, and a spiderweb-like circular dent immediately appeared on the tall pillar, which was made of an unknown material.

"Damn it, he won't make it to the showdown in four days unscathed."

She no longer suppressed her anger; her killing intent was palpable.

Lode's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward, whispering:

"If you take action against him now, it's like provoking both the Adventurers' Academy and Master Tata at the same time, and it also violates the rules of the Merchant Guild."

"Who said I was going to kill him? I'll just cut off his arms and legs. Imagine if a cripple came up from the side of the duel platform that day, it would be quite a sight."

Elijah's lips curled up, her face revealing madness and a surge of ferocity.

Lodey frowned; he had a feeling something was wrong.

He was a person who hated trouble, and he had a premonition that what Elijah said might cause big trouble.

But he knew that Elijah was beyond reasoning with him at this point, and could only sigh softly:

When are you planning to make your move?

"today."

A murderous intent flickered in Elijah's eyes beneath her mask.

"Just after he walked out of the Chamber of Commerce."

Lode sighed deeply, his face filled with worry.

He felt that his peaceful life had been disrupted ever since he met that blond man.

……

Three hours passed quickly. Luo Xiu had reviewed the mistakes he made last night and was preparing to continue practicing and consolidating his skills tonight.

The refining of third-tier potions is indeed much more difficult than that of second-tier potions, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. However, with daily improvements, he felt that he was not far from successfully refining them.

No wonder his teacher became increasingly excited the day he met him. Now, looking back on that day, he realized that Tata must have been testing his various abilities.

The "brute force balance alchemy" method places high demands on the alchemist's attributes, and because of my balanced attribute allocation, I am indeed very well-suited to this method.

He stood up, stretched, and stood tall and straight. The loose sleeves of his cloak fell to his shoulders as he stretched his arms, revealing his muscular arms, which made the bunny girl next to him stare blankly for a moment.

"Could you please get me another plate of grapes?"

Luo Xiu leaned down, got close to the bunny girl, and smiled.

"Yes, yes, sir."

The bunny girl nodded repeatedly and ran away.

Luo Xiu sat back on the sofa and waited for a while, but instead of the bunny girl, he saw Rolda instead.

At this moment, Rolda was walking hurriedly, her hair was a little messy, and her face was a little haggard. She looked completely different from three hours ago, as if she had gone through some kind of complex psychological struggle in the past three hours.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Your Excellency."

Rolda wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief:

"Please come with me, the things are ready."

"Ok."

Luo Xiu nodded and followed Rolda toward one side of the Chamber of Commerce hall.

The two entered a bright and spacious corridor with many branching paths. Roldah skillfully led Luo Xiu through the intricate corridor, finally stopping in front of a wall.

This wall marks the deepest point of this fork in the road; there's no further path ahead, meaning it's a dead end.

Rolda stretched out her hand, magic surging within it, and a golden magic circle appeared in her palm.

Boom boom boom.

A dull sound came from the wall in front of them, and a magic circle that was exactly the same as the one in Roldah's palm slowly appeared.

The two magic arrays rotated in different directions, their complex runes intertwining until they finally overlapped completely.

A golden door silently appeared on the wall.

"Please come in, sir."

Rolda pushed open the door and reached out her hand.

Luo Xiu agreed, and the two entered the room one after the other.

The room was simply furnished, with only a few chairs and a table. Everything from the chairs and tables to the walls was pure white, and you couldn't even tell where the corners were unless you looked closely.

On the table were four exquisitely crafted, finely carved wooden boxes.

Rolda invited Rosh to sit down, then approached the wooden box:
