Old John and Len were both tempted by Ann's suggestion.

Annuo's proposal perfectly solved their worries after moving to Valkham.

As long as there is business to do, you can slowly gain a foothold and it is not impossible to settle down in Valkham.

However, this matter cannot be decided immediately, so the two decided to discuss it with their families.

An Nuo was not in a hurry for them to reply.

Anyway, even if they agreed, he would have to wait until he briefly explored the Forbidden Forest and returned to the town of Gruul before he could take them back.

After eating and drinking, Annuo returned to the room arranged by Lun and brought a meal for Liz.

Liz's stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time. When she saw An Nuo coming back with food, she immediately pounced on him.

“Ahhh… Master, do you want to starve Liz to death? If I starve Liz to death… Ahhhh… then there will be no one to warm your bed!”

An Nuo patted Liz on the back and chuckled, "Then eat slowly. If you choke by accident, there will be no one to warm my bed."

"If you choke, I won't warm your bed! Humph~!"

Liz swallowed the food in her mouth and turned her back angrily.

"That's perfect, you sleep on the floor tonight!"

An Nuo stood up nonchalantly and walked towards the bathroom.

Liz glanced at Annuo out of the corner of her eye and found that he had actually walked away. She stomped her feet in anger.

The wooden floor made a thumping sound as Liz stomped on it.

Mr. and Mrs. Lunn downstairs looked up at the same time, with smiles on their faces. "It's good to be young, but Lord Annuo is too impatient. Didn't you just serve the food? At least let them finish their meal!"

squeak~!

The door of the tavern was pushed open and a group of mercenaries walked in.

"Welcome to the Guangyue Tavern!" Lunn saw that the leader was a familiar and charming woman, so he hurried over and asked, "Are you planning to eat or stay overnight?"

This was not the first time Mavis came to the Guangyue Tavern. The last time she came, she stayed here.

However, this time she refused the accommodation arranged by the mayor and still chose here, not because of how good the service here was, but because An Nuo also lived here.

"Serve some good dishes and arrange some rooms!"

Mavis listened to the banging sounds coming from upstairs and a smile appeared on her lips.

This time she went to the Forbidden Forest with Ding Annuo.

…

the next day.

It was just dawn.

An Nuo woke up feeling uncomfortable.

Then he saw Liz, curled up on his chest, still sleeping soundly.

"Wake up~~~!"

An Nuo pinched Liz's face to wake her up.

"ah?"

Liz was still a little confused when she woke up.

She yawned, rubbed her eyes with her right hand, and sat down on the bed. The loose pajamas provided by the tavern slipped down from her left shoulder, revealing the purple magic patterns on her body and half a ball of snow-white.

"It's not even bright yet. Liz feels so sleepy. Master, let's sleep a little longer!"

An Nuo looked at Liz unhappily, pointed at the floor next to the bed and said, "Liz, didn't I spread the quilt on the floor for you yesterday? Why are you here again?"

"The floor is cold!"

"Nonsense, there are two layers of bedding!"

“It’s scary to sleep alone!”

"You are a succubus, and you are afraid of sleeping alone?"

"Wow, wow, the master doesn't love Liz anymore. In the past, the master would always let Liz warm the bed before going to bed!"

"Isn't that the role you assigned to yourself? When did I ever say that?"

An Nuo stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "Hey, Liz, do you know that every time you sleep, you will squeeze into my arms!"

"Really?" Liz had a puzzled expression on her face, and then she said with joy: "It must be because I love my master too much."

"But do you know?" An Nuo grabbed the devil horns on Liz's head with both hands and said through gritted teeth: "You have horns on your head!!! It hurts so much when you hit me!"

Although Liz's magic horns were bent backwards, they still hit Anno when she curled up in Anno's arms.

No wonder An Nuo felt like he was possessed by a ghost and couldn't breathe when he went to sleep in the second half of the night.

Liz, who was being shaken by Anno's horns, made a whimpering sound.

“Tsk!”

After An Nuo bullied Liz, he actually felt extremely comfortable.

Ignoring Liz who was holding her mouth shut, Anno began to dress.

Judging from the weather at this time of year, it should be less than six o'clock now.

When going downstairs, Anno saw that Lun had also gotten up.

So many people checked in yesterday, and Lun was worried that these mercenaries would have needs, so he got up very early.

After buying a few pieces of bread from Lunn for breakfast, Anno, dressed neatly, carried a backpack full of summoning materials, and left the town with the aggrieved Liz.

The guards on night duty at the town gate were two people whom Anno did not know. On the second day after the monster attack, Viscount Renault learned the news and sent a team of 30 guards to the town of Gruul. On the one hand, it was to strengthen the guard, and on the other hand, it was to calm people's hearts.

Standing outside the Forbidden Forest, Annuo looked at the deep forest and thought of a question.

"What is the purpose of the person who summoned us to this world?"

"What summons?"

Liz asked puzzledly as she poked her head out from the side.

"It's okay, go in first!"

As An Nuo thought about it, several summoned creatures appeared in front of him.

Anno's current ten summons are a level 6 Wind Wolf that serves as a mount, a level 5 Wind Wolf (for Liz), a level 8 Harpy and Goblin Priest, two level 7 special slimes (fire and poison), a level 8 Goblin Warrior, a level 8 Kobold Warrior, a level 8 Goblin Archer, and a level 8 Ratman Assassin.

The reason why goblins and ogres are both level 8 is because Annuo cancelled the previous low-level summons and summoned them again.

Harpy and Goblin Priest are special among monsters and are not suitable for exploration.

It's not good for special slimes to appear in the Forbidden Forest.

All that was left were the Kobolds and Goblins.

The goblin warriors are in front and the kobold warriors are behind.

The rat assassin wandered around and observed.

The Goblin Archer followed Anno and Liz.

If in danger, Anno will immediately summon the Goblin Priest and other summons.

With this lineup, does Anno still need to join forces with Mavis, Freeman and others?

Judging from the performance of the Bloodstain Mercenaries along the way, they would be lucky not to cause any trouble in the Forbidden Forest. They can't be expected to help at all.

After checking his equipment, Annuo walked into the forbidden forest with a group of summons.

About ten minutes after Annuo entered, a figure ran all the way to the outside of the forbidden forest.

After finding no trace of An Nuo, Mavis sighed, "We're still late!"

She had wanted to say hello to An Nuo yesterday, but she didn't want to interfere with An Nuo's "good deeds", so she could only postpone talking to An Nuo about the alliance until this morning.

Who would have thought that when she woke up this morning, she found that An Nuo was gone.

After asking the tavern owner, I found out that Anno had left.

The two have missed each other.

"Damn it, An Nuo, why did he get up so early?"
