Gu Shi slept peacefully in the room, but Charles was very busy.

After confirming that the ruby ​​in the bracelet was the lich's life box, Charles immediately prepared to destroy it.

In order to ensure his own safety, the lich naturally made a lot of protection on the ruby.

Charles wanted to end the battle outside the city as quickly as possible, so he found a dozen priests to cast a large spell together at night, and the ruby ​​gradually melted under the dazzling light.

Outside the city, the lich, realizing his phylactery had been destroyed, let out a piercing scream, "No! This is impossible—"

But the lich outside the city obviously couldn't stop Charles' actions and could only watch himself disappear.

As the ruby ​​completely melted, the body he possessed turned into a pile of ordinary bones and fell to the ground in a mess.

Without the lich's magical control, the undead monsters attacking the city also lost their source of magic power. The undead that were forcibly awakened fell into a deep sleep again, and all kinds of bones covered the ground.

The bone dragon that was originally fighting fiercely with the professionals suddenly fell from the sky.

The victory came too suddenly. The battlefield was silent for a few seconds, and then cheers broke out. The soldiers who were originally fighting on the city wall were now dancing with excitement.

Gu Shi slept very soundly that night. When he woke up again, the sun had already set. The afterglow of the sunset shone through the glass window onto the end of his bed, revealing a warm red.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shi knew that the lich had been defeated. The black fog that had originally shrouded Langari also disappeared with him, and the sunlight once again shone on the land in the city.

Gu Shi stretched and prepared to find something to eat, but he didn't expect to meet Ilsa and Field as soon as he went out.

When she saw Gu, Ilsa teased, "Our hero has finally woken up, just in time for the celebration banquet tonight."

Gu Shi had just woken up and his mind was not yet fully clear. When he heard Ilsa's words, he repeated in a daze, "Great hero?"

Ilsa laughed out loud at his expression. "Bishop Charles told us that we were able to successfully defeat the lich and uncover the demon behind him thanks to you. You are undoubtedly the hero this time."

Gu Shi quickly denied it and said, "No, no, I was able to do all this because of the scrolls and props given by Teacher Field. Without these things, I would not have been able to defeat the demon successfully."

Field looked at Gu Shi with admiration, "You don't have to be modest. I gave you these things for self-defense, but you used them to kill the demon. This is entirely your own credit.

What's more, you used your own abilities to discover the devil's traces and expose his conspiracy.

But next time you encounter something like this, don't be so reckless. You were lucky this time and the enemies you encountered weren't high level, but next time it might not be the same. You should learn to ask others for help when you need it."

Ilsa also agreed: "Senior brother is right, you don't have to belittle yourself."

Gu Shi felt a little embarrassed by the two of them.

Seeing Gu Shi's red ears, Ilsa chuckled again, "Looks like you're going to find something to eat? Just eat something to fill your stomach first.

To celebrate our victory, my senior brother paid for a super luxurious meal. If you eat too much now, you won’t be able to eat later.”

"I understand. Goodbye, teacher." Gu Shi ran very fast.

After Gu Shi left, Ilsa looked at Field and said, "I didn't expect that you would give Gu Shi an extra gift, Brother. This is the first time I've seen you care about someone so much."

Field's voice was a little cold. "He is my future student. How can he be compared with others? Those people are not worth my attention at all."

Ilsa shook her head helplessly, "You're still the same."

After knowing that there was a big dinner waiting for him in the evening, Gu Shi just quickly ate two pieces of bread and stopped.

About an hour later, Ilsa came to call them to the celebratory dinner.

Gu Shi originally thought that Field would take them to a high-end restaurant for dinner, but he never expected that he would take them to a luxurious villa.

Is there really a restaurant in a house like this? Am I really that ignorant?

Just when this thought popped up in Gu Shi's mind, Ilsa explained to the puzzled crowd: "This is Senior Brother's private property. The ordered dishes have been picked up in advance. We will eat here later.

The curse on you has been lifted, and it is not convenient for you to continue living in the church, so we will live in this house from now on."

Gu Shi once again felt how wealthy Field was. He had a mansion in this city that he seldom visited, and there were many servants in charge of taking care of the house.

Seeing this, he felt envious.

However, after Gu Shi took a bite of the dish brought by Field, he was no longer in the mood to think about these things. At this moment, there was only one sentence in his mind: This is so delicious!

Gu Shi directly sucked in the air like a storm. Except for Field, everyone else performed similarly.

After eating and drinking, Gu Shi leaned comfortably on the soft sofa. He heard Ilsa next to him asking the name of the restaurant, and he silently memorized Field's answer in his heart.

After dinner, Field arranged rooms for everyone. Gu Shi’s belongings were all carried with him in the space. There was nothing in the room in the church, so he just stayed there.

That night, Ilsa knocked on his door and said, "Gu Shi, the mayor of Langari wants to see you at the dinner tomorrow. Do you want to meet him?"

Gu Shi asked doubtfully, "What does the City Lord want to talk to me about?"

Ilsa said, "They say they want to learn more about the demon incident, but they really just want to win you over."

Gu Shi was a little confused. "Win me over? At my current level, isn't it too early to say that?"

Is it too early to use the word "win over" for a mage who is not even at level five?

As a noble, Ilsa understood the city lord's intentions somewhat. "Invest in advance. Once you get promoted, it won't be so easy to gain favors from you."

As a student of Congleton, Gu Shi’s talent is definitely above average. Coupled with the qualities he demonstrated in this incident, it is completely understandable that the city lord wants to invest in him in advance.

Gu Shi didn't really want to get involved in all these twists and turns. He was just a student, and his most important task now was to practice hard. Thinking of this, some displeasure appeared on his face.

Seeing Gu Shi's somewhat unpleasant expression, Ilsa understood and said, "Don't worry, if you don't want to go, you can refuse. With me and my senior brother here, the city lord won't say anything."

Gu Shi's mood suddenly changed from gloomy to cheerful. He said gratefully, "Then I'll have to ask the instructor to reject it for me."

Ilsa waved her hand casually, "It's just a small matter. You have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
