After all, no one would associate a young magician, who is likely of noble birth, with the "slime witch" of the forest.
The quickest solution would be to kill Egard directly, but that would make the false information about the "Slime Witch" seem true, not to mention that Egard has someone like Greer by his side.
During the duration of a slave contract, the slave dies when the master dies, but the slave's death has no effect on the slave owner. Unless the slave owner voluntarily terminates the slave contract, Greer will not gain freedom even if he kills Egard.
That's why Xu Milu decided to take things long-term. It's estimated that Aigard himself didn't expect that the person he casually used as a scapegoat would actually be hiding in the expeditionary force, preparing to raid their base.

It wasn't that no one paid attention to Fanny during that time, but magicians already had a high status, and in this era where nobles liked to keep slaves, a mere canine slave wouldn't attract much attention.
"Lord Qingluan??"
"Miss Qingluan??!"
The wounded soldier who was carried in looked up in shock upon hearing Fanny's words, revealing a familiar face and a head of familiar red hair.
Xu Milu calmly raised an eyebrow: "Oh ho."
She unexpectedly ran into the unlucky trio of William, Ella, and Osik again in the adventure group.
