Because the butler was associated with those remnants, the mustachioed Karana gang, who had close ties with him, was also investigated.
In short, this incident caused quite a stir, and the previously little-known Ice Cream Mercenary Group gradually came into the public eye.
However, Luo Fan, who had already taken the girl out of the city, didn't care about any of this.
Caitlin has been trying to talk to him about all sorts of troublesome things these past two days, and he's getting really annoyed.
The investigation in Saint Sea City has made some progress, and to delve deeper, we need to go there and take a look. Also, the family in charge of the canal transport seems to be involved as well.
However, there is no clear evidence yet, so we can only take a long time to discuss it.
The incident involving the Duke of Glenn's family has actually raised the guard of some people, causing Caitlin's previous investigations, which had already yielded some clues, to fall apart.
She had always hated that troublemaker to the core.
The volcanic underground city we visited this time is located near an active volcano and has two levels. The upper level of the underground city is less difficult, with four floors, making it suitable for beginners.
The bottom two levels are directly accessible via entrances, and the monsters there are all level 40 or higher. The guild speculates that there might be a seventh level, but they haven't found it yet.
Inside the carriage were Ellie, Daisy, Emil, Xiaoxue, and Angela. Outside, Ahri and Huoyu rode the Earth Bear, Cecilia and Tifa rode the Demon Lion, and there were also a dozen or so girls from the guild, all riding their own mounts.
This time it was an all-girls group; even Arthur wasn't brought along.
Toria had to protect the princess's safety, and since Fairy was taken away by the princess, she didn't have a chance to come along.
"It's been so long since we all went down into the dungeon together!" Emil was in high spirits. In the past, there were other guards to help, but this time it was all members of the legion.
"Yeah, I wonder what kind of surprises will happen this time, hehe~" Daisy laughed beside her, also looking forward to it.
"Let's hope nothing goes wrong; everyone's safety is the most important thing," Ellie said, squeezing Luo Fan in Xiaoxue's arms.
I didn't bring the two dungeons, the slacker and the country bumpkin, with me this time. There's no need to bring them to a regular dungeon. It's better to let them absorb magic cores and level up quickly.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't cause any trouble this time. It's just a regular dungeon, I'm not really interested in that. My main goal this time is to help Angela advance and then kill a few monsters that are level 50 or higher."
Those monsters above level 50 generally stay away from groups of people. Considering that Ellie pulled out a huge wood-type magic core, clearly indicating a level exceeding 60, the guild relaxed the requirements. Killing monsters from dungeons is also acceptable, but a larger number are needed.
As luck would have it, there were similar monsters on the 6th floor of the volcano dungeon, and they also took on a medium-sized quest for a legion.
"Hehe, you said the same thing before." Ellie didn't believe Luo Fan would be so honest.
"Isn't that because you want to challenge your limits? This time it's not that difficult, just monsters below level 60."
After all, as long as he isn't forcibly controlled, no magical beast can hit him. Coupled with the terrifying destructive power of spatial magic, mid-level magical beasts are no match for him, and he can even put ordinary high-level magical beasts to a fight.
Soon, the girls started discussing how to quickly cast spells, focusing on the techniques taught to Emil and Angela. With their quick comprehension and Luo Fan's deliberate guidance, they soon understood.
After several hours of travel, the team entered the mountains, where the surrounding temperature gradually rose.
Bored, Luo Fan sensed the changes around him and noticed some adventurers on the road pointing and whispering about their group.
"Look everyone, this mercenary group is all girls!"
"Wow, what an adorable little fox girl. But what kind of magical beast is that big bear? How can it run so fast?"
"I don't know, they don't look very fierce. Could this be that infamous Ice Cream Mercenary Group?"
"Possibly! But what kind of combat power could a mercenary group consisting entirely of girls possibly have?"
"Yeah, weren't they all in business before? I heard they were the ones who started this."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, all eyes turning towards them. Though lacking in strength, they were certainly a striking sight.
"Do you think it's possible that the big bear is the legendary Earth Bear?"
Immediately, everyone's attention was focused on Little Grey. Level 36, ordinary appearance, apart from being a bit fast, there was nothing particularly special about it.
"I don't think so, he looks so weak."
"I heard they were accelerated to maturity by magic milk, how powerful can they be! This is just a bunch of spendthrift women, raising the Earth Bear like this will definitely ruin it."
Luo Fan listened to these reports with boredom, not paying much attention, since the legion didn't really have any notable achievements to show for itself.
However, when he noticed some people on the roadside, he saw the greed in their eyes.
Could it be that the adventurers here have found out that Ellie is a very wealthy woman?
That shouldn't be the case. They're always very careful when they go shopping. They just usually pay with gold coins.
It was quite late when we arrived near the underground city of the volcano. But there was a small town nearby with many hotels.
I heard that the specialty here is hot springs, which attract many people who come specifically for vacation. However, it's still summer now, so there aren't as many people as in winter.
The group checked into a guild-run hot spring inn, ready to rest and recuperate before venturing into the dungeon.
Luo Fan's heart pounded wildly. He never expected to receive such treatment; he was so happy.
After booking the largest hot spring and getting everything settled, Luo Fan's little wish finally came true.
Although they were still wrapped in towels, the opportunity to bathe with so many girls was rare. Especially for Emil, he had been missing it for a long time.
In the hot spring, the girls gathered together, chatting casually. Ahri and Angela swam in the water together, their budding beauty full of vitality.
Luo Fan's attention was focused on the girls, Ai Li and the others. After all, Ai Li was always wary of him, and this time he had finally gotten his chance.
Splitting into several clones and perching on the girl's fragrant shoulders to experience the characteristics of different peaks is indeed a great enjoyment.
Aside from Ellie, Daisy and Emil didn't seem to mind much, and even the mature Tifa didn't seem to care much.
"Luo Fan, behave yourself!"
"I know, don't worry. I'm just assessing everyone's strength." He dispersed his divine sense, and sure enough, the ability to create clones was truly amazing.
Looking at Ellie's figure, I was surprised to find that she had grown a lot since the beginning, and that was all thanks to me.
"You bastard!" Ellie's pretty face flushed slightly, perhaps from soaking in the hot spring.
As she was speaking, she saw one of Luo Fan's clones slip into Emil's chest, looking completely satisfied.
(?ˉ?ˉ?)
Tifa, who was standing next to him, also suffered the consequences. Luo Fan actually crawled into her towel, with only half of his body showing.
Daisy, on the other hand, was not like that. Luo Fan was being held in her hand, and she was laughing non-stop, doing something in the hot spring.
"Sigh, I shouldn't have come here."
"No, Ellie, we've been walking for so long, it's normal to relax a bit. Besides, I'm just a slime, what bad intentions could I possibly have?"
"Heh, I know your character perfectly well."
Xiaoxue laughed non-stop beside her, holding a clone of Luo Fan in her hands and gently washing his body.
At this moment, Luo Fan was still massaging Ai Li's shoulders and even tried the feel of her front. His wife was not bad either!
As for the other girls in the corps, they were arranged by Ai Li to soak in the back, and Luo Fan's wish to look down on everyone was dashed.
