"Well, that's it for today. I'm going back and will see little Alice, Hulim, and Arthur another day."

"Well, see you some other time."

"See you another day, Sister Irene."

"Goodbye, it's time for me to take Alice back."

Several people separated.

On the way back, Alice took out the small box containing the ring.

"Alice, what are you holding in your hand?"

Arthur noticed something in Alice's hand.

"Brother, this is a gift I prepared for you."

Alice opened the box.

"A pair of rings? No... are these magic items?"

"Yes."

Alice took Arthur's left hand, put one ring on it, and then put the other on her own hand.

"Brother, they are a pair. Do you think they look good?"

"Yeah, it looks good. Everything Alice chooses looks good."

"Brother, I'm serious."

"Uh, sorry, but it does look good..."

The voices of the brother and sister gradually faded away in the evening street.

... ...

On the other side, Hulim came to the Golden Pavilion Tavern.

She planned to have dinner here and then go back to the hotel.

Before entering the tavern, a drunk with an ordinary face, reeking of alcohol and holding a cheap bottle of wine, who was sitting near the door of the tavern, caught Hulim's attention.

"...Mr. Monroe?"

She recognized the identity of the person in front of her. It was Monroe, an A-level expert who had played a decisive role in the Helinks turmoil and was also the eldest disciple of the Sword Saint.

"Who, who called me?!"

Hulim's voice woke Monroe.

He turned his neck quickly and looked around vigilantly.

Then he noticed Hulim in front of him and said quickly:

"You've got the wrong person! I'm not Monroe, I just look like that guy. I don't have any money, so don't ask me for a debt!"

“… …”

Hulim was silent.

"Mr. Monroe, I'm not here to collect a debt from you."

"ah--?"

Monroe, who was originally in a panic, paused, then raised his head and looked carefully at the person in front of him.

Then he let out a long sigh.

"What? So you're not here to collect debts. Stop scaring me."

"Oh, right..."

Monroe's eyes rolled, as if he had an idea.

Then, in front of Hulim, he covered his chest and lay down on the ground with a "weak" look on his face.

"Oh, my heart, it's over. You just scared me. I have a heart disease. Now I need a hearty meal to heal my sick heart, otherwise I will die."

“… …?”

Looking at the person in front of him who is clearly at the top of the world, but is now shamelessly lying in front of a pub and trying to scam people.

Hulim fell into deep thought.

She had to admit that this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Should I beat him, or beat him, or beat him?

never mind... ...

After all, I'd better beat him up.

Just as Hulim was about to take action.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

A familiar voice came from not far away.

Hulim and Monroe turned their heads to look over there at the same time.

Then I saw Luggie and Lor walking towards this side.

"Ah, Luji, you're finally back!"

Monroe suddenly got up from the ground, rushed towards Luggie and grabbed him by the collar.

"You came back too late. Do you want to starve me to death?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shouldn't you still have some money on you?"

"Wait, could it be that..."

Luggie stared at Monroe with suspicion.

"Have you spent all your money again!?"

"Well... ..."

Cold sweat broke out on Monroe's forehead.

"Don't get excited, it's just a little accident."

"What little accident? Tell me the truth, what did you do this time?"

"Hey, well... I saw a very profitable project yesterday. Normally, you only need one gold coin to earn a valuable magic item."

Monroe explained with an awkward smile.

"so what?"

"Alas, my luck was bad and I spent all my money without earning anything."

“… …”

Lu Ji fell into a deep silence.

"Hahaha, isn't this just being cheated~!"

Lor laughed heartily with schadenfreude.

"Why... ..."

Finally, Luggie sighed helplessly and looked at Hulim.

"I'm sorry, Master Hulim. It seems my brother has caused you trouble just now. How about I pay for dinner tonight as an apology?"

"If you say so, I have no objection."

Hulim replied.

To be honest, after seeing what happened just now, I feel that it would be really embarrassing to continue to argue with Monroe.

"Um...my dear junior brother."

Monroe pointed at himself with a grin.

"What about me?"

“… …”

Lu Ji's face darkened and he wanted to just throw him there, but he finally held back.

"This is the last time—!"

... ...

Inside the Golden Pavilion Tavern.

Hulim sat at the same table with the Monroe brothers and Lor whom she had just met.
