"Isn't that a species from the Abyss? How come it's in the dungeon too?" Ellie had seen this special species in a book and asked curiously, while wondering when Luo Fan had drunk its blood.
"I suspect someone deliberately bred them. We've already sent people in to clean them up, but we can't rule out the possibility of any residue. Just wanted to let you know."
"Yes, thank you, Chairman."
Joanna then came over and guided Daisy through the signing and certification process.
"Is this Lisse? She's already a level 3 beginner mage?" Joseph looked at the girl in front of him with lifeless eyes. The last time he saw her, she was just an ordinary person. It's only been a little over two months.
"Yes, Liss has great talent, and she has also formed a contract with a lovely light spirit."
Luo Fan had read about angels in some obscure books and was worried about the potential impact, so he continued to use the names of the adventurers from before.
"Is that so? That's great. Maybe when she grows up she'll be able to control the magic in her eyes and regain her sight."
The group chatted for a while longer before parting ways. Ellie's position was retained, and she could come whenever she wanted.
They went out and bought a lot of clothes before returning home. On the way, Luo Fan saw Claire's two boys, but after watching them for a while, they didn't dare to come over and provoke them, which deprived them of a lot of fun.
A few days later, school finally started.
Back in the familiar classroom, after class started, Ellie noticed that there were fewer classmates around her, and she couldn't even see Angela.
"Was the Karaman family also affected?" Luo Fan couldn't help but wonder, as he didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Huoyu.
Ms. Monsa explained the situation briefly: several students had dropped out, and some hadn't returned yet. Angela had taken a few days off and was expected to be back in a few days.
After re-evaluating the pet levels, Daisy's Snowball was still the highest, followed by Ellie's Slime. As for the blue slime in the Snow Woman's arms, she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Aili's pet is already level 25, I'm so envious!"
"I heard she's living with Daisy now; the Duke's family must have provided her with a lot of resources."
"I wish I had a friend like Daisy."
Many people in the audience were whispering among themselves, which Luo Fan could hear, but he was too lazy to pay attention.
Teacher Mengsha emphasized the changes in various courses this semester, requiring each student to determine their focus for future studies and choose between a combat-oriented or a utility-oriented approach.
The number of combat-oriented courses will increase, while functional courses, including magic circles, potions, and alchemy, will increase.
"Ellie, let's choose our fighting direction together!" Daisy whispered in her ear.
"I want to choose the utility class. I can learn about combat skills by going on dungeon adventures, but utility skills are only taught in schools."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll go with you."
The following lessons were largely irrelevant to Luo Fan, so he returned his thoughts to the Duke's mansion and continued studying the books there.
Knowledge is power; this is not just a saying.
A few days later, Angela finally returned, and Luo Fan also met the adorable fire sprite, who was already level 32.
Luo Fan was a little frustrated that he had only leveled up once in so long. He remembered that the snowman in Kairi had consumed a lot of crystal cores and was still only level 31. If it were his turn, he wondered how long it would take him.
I really don't know why all the monsters in the dungeon are so high level.
"Aili, let's go to the dungeon this weekend! Angela has just reached level 6 of the beginner mage class." Ever since he saw Fire Rain, Luo Fan has been frequently bothering Ai Li.
"Look, with me, Xiaoxue, Huoyu, and Little Bear, defeating the little monster is a piece of cake!"
"You're after the Ghost Bat Blood, aren't you? Is that stuff really that good?"
"Yes, it can increase my sensing range. Then, no magical beast will escape my eyes."
"Aili, go! Dark magic cores are so expensive, why not get some yourself? Don't you trust my strength? Besides, Xiaoxue is so strong, she'll definitely be fine."
Will the Duke agree to let Daisy come with us?
"Definitely, at most a few servants will be sent along."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with them. Their studies aren't too demanding lately, so it wouldn't be bad for them to practice."
"Mmm~, Ellie, you're so nice."
This weekend morning, the Beautiful Girl Adventure Team was finally formed.
Luo Fan looked at the four beautiful girls and two little girls gathered together; their good looks attracted many adventurers to watch. His own small eyes darted around, as if afraid he wouldn't get enough of the sight.
After they went outside, many guards joined them, and the crowd of onlookers gradually thinned out.
The snow outside the city hadn't completely melted, but the number of people on the streets had already increased. Spring had arrived, and it was the season of growth and renewal.
"Ellie, your mage level has increased so fast. If I hadn't completed my advancement during the holidays, I would be at the same level as you," Emil complained, looking at Ellie's current level.
Angela didn't want to talk. She was already inferior to Ellie before, but now the gap was even wider, and even Daisy had surpassed her.
"Sister Emil is really amazing. Shall we go to the third floor again this time?" Ellie asked with a smile.
"Hmm, we can try the fourth floor. I've been to fire-attribute dungeons in the capital several times, so I have a lot of experience now."
"Yes, it would be even better if we could go to the fifth floor!" Luo Fan couldn't help but nod and silently give her a thumbs up.
Ellie didn't object. After her previous experience, she also wanted to understand her combat abilities.
"Daisy, whose pet is that blue slime in your pet's arms?" Angela asked softly.
"That's also Ellie's, the clone of her pet."
"Oh, the attributes and levels are different! I thought it was your pet's playmate."
"Oh, he's also Xiaoxue's playmate; they always spend time together."
At this moment, Fire Rain was sitting on the black slime, chatting. After holding it in for so long, the fire sprite had become quite talkative, chattering on and on.
"Brother Fan, it's so great to be able to talk to you."
"Brother Fan, the capital city is really big, and the underground city over there is very warm."
“My master’s uncle was arrested one night. It was a big deal, and I was so scared that I didn’t dare to sleep.”
"Brother Fan, when are we going to the capital together? There are so many people and shops there."
"The master's manor is so boring, it's terribly boring every day."
Huo Yu probably wanted to tell everything he knew, but the rest of the story was just about how bored he was, so Luo Fan didn't pay much attention.
The Karaman family has indeed been affected, but it doesn't seem to be too serious, which is good.
The familiar Ice Shadow Dungeon reappeared before my eyes, seemingly unchanged. Several new houses had appeared beside the dungeon, and thick smoke was billowing from one of their chimneys.
"Uncle Arthur, what's this place all about?" Ellie asked a familiar face next to her, who was also among the guards.
"Didn't we find ghost bats before? This place is used to dispose of corpses. Those things are poisonous and are controlled magical beasts, so they need to be handled by professionals."
"The floors above the fourth floor have been cleared several times now. As long as you don't go below the fifth floor, you shouldn't see it."
"So they're burning the corpses of ghost bats now?"
"Probably not. You can hardly see that thing anymore. I guess someone inside is cooking something over a fire. This place is still the guild's temporary base."
"Oh, thank you, uncle."
Luo Fan on his shoulder remained completely still. If there really were the corpse of that kind of magical beast, he probably would have been unable to sit still long ago.
