The light outside the windowsill shines through the gems, sparkling with an indescribable beauty.

"If I lose this thing, I don't know how to explain it to my family."

Louis coughed.

He should have returned the naked erotic dream to Alice long ago, but he indeed forgot when he used the treasure to jump back to the ground that day.

He had never imagined that during this trip to the Kingdom of Shadows, he would face a being above the legendary so early in the journey.

Although he had dealt with quite a few Exemplar-level creatures, there was still a huge gap between the Exemplar-level and those above that.

If Black Swan hadn't helped him, he didn't know whether he could successfully bring Little Swan out from the vicinity of Shadow Kingdom.

Coupled with the huge side effects caused by using time stop twice in a row, he really put this matter behind him.

Not long after he came back, he ran into the black swan again.

He was so confused that he didn't know when he would have remembered this matter if Alice hadn't reminded him.

But when Alice was about to get up, she realized something was wrong. "Hmm, what is this?"

Feeling a slight touch on her fingertips, she subconsciously picked up something from Louis's sheets.

It was long blond hair.

Alice was stunned for a moment and looked at the position of her long golden hair.

The long hair was not actually next to the bed.

"Has Olivia been here?"

A look of surprise flashed across Alice's face.

But considering that they had a good relationship, I could understand why she came to Louis' room.

Alice said casually, "Louis, you have been staying in your room for the past two days. Has no one else come to see you?"

Louis said without hesitation:

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me? Under such circumstances, of course no one from the group will come."

Alice quietly put the golden hair she picked up into her pocket.

Well, she doesn't reveal it.

But once doubts arose in her mind, Alice was not so easily fooled.

She leaned forward slightly, placed her hands on Louis' quilt, leaned over, and said provocatively: "You seem to have become much stronger recently. When we are almost done with the eternal training, let's have another fight?"

Louis raised his eyebrows: "Alice, now is different from when we went to Tunisia for assault training. Are you sure you want to challenge me under such circumstances?"

What Louis meant was that although Alice had been promoted to a paragon, in terms of pure combat power, she might not be stronger than Louis.

To be precise...

Even without borrowing Rimuru, his fighting power should be able to suppress Alice.

Alice stepped back with a dissatisfied look on her face: "If I don't want to fight with you a few more times now, it will be more difficult to suppress you in the future."

Louis showed his white teeth and said, "Don't worry, after I pass you, I won't give you a chance to catch up with me."

As a hacker, he has this confidence.

Alice spread her hands and said nothing.

But when Louis wasn't paying attention, his palm fanned up a gust of wind.

Her nose twitched slightly, and then a smile spread across the corners of her mouth: "Compared to this, Louis, has no one else really come to you in the past two days?"

"Didn't I tell you no?" Louis said helplessly.

But the next moment, what Alice said froze his expression:

"Your bed sheets smell a bit strong. Find some time to have them cleaned. After all, you may have to stay here for another half a week!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Alice noticed that Louis' expression froze for a moment.

But he quickly recovered and said calmly: "If you want to dislike my sweaty odor, just tell me. I can accept this blow."

Damn it.

He suddenly remembered that there was still some scent of Black Swan on the bed sheets.

Alice's sense of smell is too good!

"oh?"

Alice stretched out her voice.

Finally he said quietly: "Then I'll take it as it is."

She stood up and left the room. When she was about to close the door for Louis, she suddenly said, "Louis, I hope you won't be torn into pieces in the future."

The playful expression on that face made Louis' face turn dark.

But he couldn't explain it.

At present, not many people know the existence of black swans.

He couldn't possibly say such nonsense as "Ense's second princess has a clone, who is very powerful" or "I have been helping her clone heal his injuries these days", right?

So he could only say:

"I like bigger ones. You don't think that Olivia ran into my room, do you?"

Louis said seriously. Alice looked at him half-doubtfully, then suddenly smiled:

"You don't have to explain it to me."

After saying that, he closed the door.

Listening to Alice's footsteps gradually fading away, Louis slapped his head and said, "What is going on?"

…

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

As time went on, Louis found that the city was becoming more and more "lively".

Especially the members of the assassination team, who have been coming to him from time to time to investigate the situation.

Louis was getting pretty annoying to them.

Fortunately, after the parties had been entangled with each other, a clear order soon came from the Lockheed Empire:

"The investigation into the Shadow Kingdom incident has come to an end for now."

This also means that the professionals who came here to explore, as well as the legion members guarding the surrounding area, have been officially liberated.

As expected, all members of the Moonlit Cat Group passed the preliminaries.

To be precise, he got a direct ticket to the semi-finals.

However, this ticket is meaningless to some people.

For example, the three brothers William and Chris.

They belong to the Royal Guard.

Unlike Louis and his men, they had already sworn allegiance to the Royal Guards.

Their foundation cannot withstand the investigation of the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters.

So their qualification for the preliminary round can be said to be in vain.

However, Louis, Olivia, Alice and Grace can continue to participate.

After all, they do not strictly belong to those extraordinary legion individuals.

As expected, as soon as the ban was lifted, Alice took the entire group out for a drink.

In her words, although passing the preliminaries was understandable, it was also something worth celebrating.

Of course, there was also the idea of ​​comforting Olivia who was frightened.

After all, when the God-forged incarnation was chasing her, she had really even thought of her last words.

But when they were halfway through drinking the wine, Alice suddenly looked at the little swan and said:

"Olivia, Louis has done his best to save you this time. Shouldn't you think of a way to reward him?"

"I, I, I..." The little swan stammered, "I was thinking about it, hum!"

Louis explained, "It means nothing is prepared."

Then the little swan sitting opposite Louis started kicking Louis under the table.

Alice gave the little swan a strange look.

As Little Swan's childhood sweetheart, she knew very well that this guy couldn't keep anything secret.

Now she directly hinted to Little Swan. If Little Swan really had a relationship with Louis, then with her personality, she would have blushed and dared not speak.

He would never be hesitant like he is now, looking distressed as to what gift to give Louis.

Of course, it may also be that after such a long time, this silly goose has evolved into pink and black, and she can't see it at all.

But she thought the possibility was low.

She still trusts her instincts.

"Did I really misunderstand? It's impossible that Louis just found a woman to play with!"

Such a thought arose in Alice's mind, but she quickly suppressed it.

She knew very well that Louis was a serious and old-fashioned guy to a certain extent.

It doesn't fit his identity as a succubus hybrid at all.

His personality is simply the most harmless and abstinent character among the succubus hybrids.

She is the type who can remain calm even when someone's beauty is around.

She really couldn't imagine that guy would be like many rotten nobles and play around like that.

With such doubts, she ended today's drinking party.

When they returned to the hotel where they were staying, they suddenly stopped.

Alice said, "Come out, don't hide."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people in night clothes walked out from the shadows.

Louis was surprised:

"Assassination unit?"

The leading wanderer said in a low voice:

"Everyone, the leader invites you."

Olivia said, "Is your leader trying to silence us?"

The Wanderer shook his head, "We have no intention of angering the Emperor."

Olivia was surprised and asked, "You recognized me?"

"Princess, please don't joke about this. The assassination team does not want to turn this into a diplomatic dispute."

The wanderer probably rarely made such a joke, so his words were a little stiff: "You didn't intend to hide yourself completely, which is why it is easier for us to investigate your situation."

Olivia nodded.

It is natural to be investigated.

And they estimated that by the time they returned to Tino City, President Hans would know everything he should know.

The point of not realizing Little Swan’s identity was not that the Adventurer’s Guild lacked intelligence.

But they didn't pay attention.

After Beatrice's engagement ball, Olivia finally made her debut in the social circle.

Because of her illness, she was well protected by the royal family and the outside world didn't even know what she looked like.

It takes some effort for intelligence agencies of various countries to investigate.

But now it's different.

Entering the social circle is like putting yourself in the sun, and many things can no longer be hidden.

Not to mention, they really made a big fuss this time.

In a team of adventurers, there are so many paragons, even LV20 elf hybrids and the Legendary Nine Swords.

If they still can't react, the entire assassination team might as well be laid off.

Louis said:

"They asked us to learn about the relevant information related to the great crime. His Royal Highness is also paying attention to this matter."

Olivia complained in her heart: "Aren't you the prince?"

But since it was something Louis was concerned about, she naturally wouldn't say much.

The wanderer in the front row looked at Louis and said, "Sir, everyone in your team knows this information, right?"

"Of course," Louis said.

Perhaps because they were mistaken for legends, they were extremely cautious.

Louis also did not explain how fake his legendary power was.

Why would they refuse if they could use the power of the other party to protect their own safety? They were led by the large group to a room in the hotel where they were staying.

There they saw a group of assassination squad members dressed in night clothes.

The leader was wearing a half eyepatch and had a long scar running across most of his face.

He stood up and said, "I am the head of the assassination team, Arkham. Everyone, I won't waste any more time on small talk. According to the wishes of our top leaders, this time we will make an exchange for the information on the Great Crime."

Louis said:

"What is the situation with that great sin?"

Arkham said: "It is the most troublesome situation. The great crime appeared in the assassination unit."

"Trouble..."

Louis also began to have a headache:

"Is it related to the Abyss Church?"

“We cannot rule out this possibility.”

"Did he betray from the beginning, or did he become corrupted after joining the assassination unit?"

"It is highly likely that they were members of the Abyss Church from the beginning."

“…”

"They betrayed without any warning?"

"He betrayed without any signs. In fact, if we hadn't investigated the people Chloe had recently come into contact with, we wouldn't have suspected him at all."

“…”

Louis was speechless.

The members of the assassination team also showed expressions of shame.

What can he say? You guys should just call yourself a sieve unit. Can't you investigate the political application process?

Why not call the winery from now on! Lumi, who was silent on the side, said: "Is there a traitor helping?"

Arkham said: "Well, we have found him, but it's too late. The guy ran away."

Louis was trying to rub his brow.

Then I found myself touching the helmet.

Damn it.

Wearing a helmet can't even relieve the melancholy.

"Did you bring the information about that person?"

Akam pushed a stack of papers over.

Louis took it and several people gathered around to look at it.

Simply put, this person was originally a genius from the area where the Shadow Kingdom is located.

After attending the First Academy of the Rockhe Empire, this great sin gained the support of some nobles because of his outstanding performance in school.

With the help of the nobles' appreciation, he successfully joined the assassination team.

However, following the growth trajectory of this man, the assassination team quickly found a group of spies of the Abyss Church.

"This person's relatives have been taken into custody. We cannot rule out the possibility that they have had in-depth contact with the Abyss Church."

"He is indeed a genius. No one would have thought that the Abyss Church would be willing to put such a person into the assassination team."

Arkham shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, we were very optimistic about him."

Louis said, "Are there any magical images of him?"

Arkham handed over a projection stone.

The figure of a handsome young man appeared on the stone.

William said in surprise:

"He does look very decent. He doesn't look like a traitor at first glance."

Alice complained: "If you want to say that he looks like a girl, just say it directly."

William coughed and said, "She has long hair. If I hadn't looked closely, I would have thought she was a woman."

Louis looked at the magic image for a few more times, and suddenly said:

"I have seen him."

Everyone's eyes turned to Louis.

Louis frowned and said, "When I was in Ryan City, I saw this man in the hotel I stayed in. Because he had a unique appearance, he left a deeper impression on me."

I really couldn't bear it any longer and suspected that someone had put a spell on me. Once my body recovered a little, I wanted to recover my daily strength, but something unexpected happened.

Actually, there was originally going to be a recommendation tomorrow, and I was going to update a lot based on the recommendation. I have been sick for a month recently, so I was thinking of posting 10,000 posts a day in advance so that it would be easier for me to get recommendations next time. I have already adjusted my work and rest schedule, and I plan to post 10,000 posts a day despite being sick.

result……

The cold has gotten better and I don’t think it’s affecting my condition too much.

Pseudomyopia makes everything blurry, but it has been blurry for almost half a month. It is barely acceptable and does not affect my typing too much.

I have prepared myself mentally even if I get sick.

Then today Nickname suddenly started coughing. I looked at his throat and found out that his tonsils were swollen. He kept coughing until five in the morning before he could barely fall asleep. His daily routine was disrupted.

I am currently drinking salt water to suppress inflammation, and I am also making partridge tea at home (a specialty of Hainan, which can suppress coughing).

I'm already starting to have a headache about how to write the 10,000 words tomorrow.

It is easiest to get a recommendation during the new book season, but if you don’t write enough words in the recommendation position, your book will basically be out of the question.

Exploded, I went to take medicine.
