Chapter 85: Pre-banquet Instructions (Not a High Player Content) ...
The player understood Willy's idea without any instruction, the player was ready to make a move, the player felt Reborn's threatening gaze, the player shuddered, the player retracted his tentative feet and hid behind Luche and Lal Milch.
Player: Players will never give up! This is just a temporary retreat!
Feeling Aurora's evasive but eager gaze behind her, Lucy covered her lips and smiled, pretending to help her intercept Reborn.
"Luche, you..."
Reborn looked at Aurora, who was acting like a villain behind Luce with a smug look in her eyes. He raised the corners of his lips and stared at Aurora with his dark eyes until she realized what was happening and became uncomfortable. Only then did he look away with satisfaction.
"Although I know you must be very uncomfortable now..." Reborn's gaze lingered on his companions who had changed genders one by one, "But let's get down to business first."
"Really?" Willdi, who had paid the Viper to cast an illusion on him and now turned into a man again in front of everyone except Aurora, frowned and made an impatient sound.
"Here's the application form for the banquet. Once you fill it out, it will disappear into thin air."
Weldi handed Aurora a stack of application forms, which he had no idea where he got them from, and gave her a heavy look - to be honest, they didn't have much killing power for players.
"Thank you, Miss Willdi~" The player raised his watch briskly, ignoring Willdi's dark expression, and distributed the things in his hand one by one.
"If it's limited to women...we could have Viper use illusion to test the intelligence of the so-called Shadow Corps." Reborn tapped his fingers thoughtfully. "If that works, Aurora's hormone cookies won't be necessary."
Knowing that if it came to that, he would definitely become a venomous snake like Weldi and the others, he immediately nodded in agreement after a look of dissatisfaction.
"If it's true what Mr. Chen said, that the Queen of Darkness held this banquet to find someone who can translate the complete spell collection, then she must quickly make a name for herself within this week..." Reborn looked at Aurora. The black-haired boy's eyes sparkled, and his face was full of eagerness to try.
"Can I leave this to you, Aurora?"
"Just leave it to me, I'm the best at this kind of thing!" The player patted his shoulder with a confident look on his face.
"But first, I have to change my gender back." The player touched himself curiously.

at the same time--
Lasu, Afen, Zhou San and Afu who escaped later finally returned to their base covered in wounds after dropping their cleaning tools and running away while Chen Long and his men were not paying attention.
"Finally I'm back alive!" Ah Fen sighed, feeling moved that he had saved his life from Chen Long again today.
"Yes, yes." Lasu nodded. "Today, not only are Chen Long and his men here, but there's also a group of people whose names I don't know. They're all as powerful as Chen Long."
Lasu rubbed his shoulder that was twisted by the black-haired girl, complaining a little, "In the blink of an eye, my arm is no longer an arm."
Zhou touched his head, also dejected, "Stop talking, my head hurts too."
"That's because you are such a waste!" Ah Fu, with a face that had become even rounder, glanced at them with disdain and walked to the front first.
The trio: “…”
"Didn't he also get beaten to a pulp and run away in a hurry?" said Rasu.
"Yes, it's not surprising. It's just a manifestation of a man's stubbornness." Zhou made a sharp comment on Ah Fu's words and actions.
"What kind of performance?" Afen asked.
"You're just being stubborn," Zhou said. "Look, Ah Fu is limping when he walks, but his back is still so straight. If that's not stubbornness, what is it?"
"Oh, that's it!" Lasu and Afen suddenly realized.
Ah Fu, who was limping in front, said: ...You bunch of idiots! I am like this because I have a back injury too!
"Hey, let's not worry about Ah Fu for now." After a while, the three people in the back changed the subject. "We're going to meet Walon soon. We found the magic encyclopedia this time, and Chen Long beat us back again. What should we do next?"
Ah Fen held his head in his hands, wanting to cry but unable to, "Are we really not going to be killed by the Holy Lord?"
"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do." Zhou was helpless, but he rolled his eyes and made a suggestion, "Why don't we tell the Holy Lord about those who came to Chen Long? That way, it won't be a complete loss."
"It sounds like..." Before Lasu could finish his words, the four of them heard a familiar roar.
"Holy Lord, what are you going to do?!!!"
It's Valon's voice!
Several people quietly approached the door and eavesdropped on the conversation between Valon and the Holy Lord - they just didn't dare to go in directly.
Valon's impatient voice came, "Hey, Holy Lord, what are you going to do this time? Ever since you took over my body, I don't know what you've been thinking about every day."
"Last time you asked me to wear a skirt, but you actually wore that skirt to meet that little girl from Chen Long's family, and she mistook you for a cross-dressing pervert?!"
The eavesdropping quartet let out a small cry of surprise.
"Holy Lord, you have ruined my reputation!" Valon shouted angrily, his voice full of despair.
"That's the wizard robe, Walon." The Holy Lord's hoarse voice sounded, and he walked to the front of the floor-length mirror. The mirror showed the appearance of his soul - the appearance of a dragon.
"Calm down, Valon," the Holy Lord said, "That's not the little girl Xiaoyu you knew before. She is now the queen of the Ninja Corps."
"And the Queen has enough capital to be willful."
The Holy Lord's voice gradually became obscure and unclear. "The spellbook I want is now in the hands of the Shadow Queen. It contains the spells of many demons... I must get it."
[The last time he met the Queen, he had violated some of her taboos, which led to a very difficult communication. Next week's banquet is a good opportunity to explain himself. He has to find a way to sneak in...]
Shocked, Ah Fen's voice became louder. "The Holy Lord knows that the complete spell collection is no longer with Chen Long and the others? Then why did he ask us to go to Chen Long to get it? What are we doing then?"
Is it considered working in vain?
"It's just a joke."
"Just consider me as cannon fodder to attract the attention of Chen Long and the others." Lasu's words were always so sharp.
"Who is it—!" Along with the Holy Lord's angry voice, a ball of scorching flames completely melted the entire door, revealing several people hiding behind the door. "So it's you losers, why don't you get in quickly!"
"Haha, good evening, Holy Lord, and Valon. If I say we just arrived, would you believe it?" Afen, who was the first to expose everyone's position, greeted them with some guilt.
"Good evening, my master." Ah Fu was not aware that he was eavesdropping, but his body was a little stiff.
"Haha, your skirt is so beautiful." Lasu scratched his head.
"Uh..." Zhou was speechless and closed his eyes.
The Holy Lord was furious when he saw the miserable looks on the faces of these losers. If his minions had not been taken away by Chen Long's niece, why would he rely on these minions?
"Did you find anything when you went to Chen Long's place?" The Holy Lord's eyes glowed red as he stared at the four of them.
"Uh..." Lasu said tentatively, "We were beaten up by Chen Long?"
Snap—Lasu’s hair instantly turned into an afro, and black smoke came out of his mouth.
"Chen Long doesn't have a complete collection of magic spells. He admitted this himself!" Afen said tremblingly as he looked at Lasu's miserable condition.
Hula - Afen got the same look as Lasu.
"I don't know, my master, but I will definitely defeat Chen Long next time!" Ah Fu said righteously, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being blown into an afro by the Holy Lord.
"Next is your turn..." The Holy Lord looked at Zhou, whose sunglasses had fallen to the ground. "If you can't say anything useful, I will turn all of you into food for my new pet!"
Valon, now conscious, reacted and subconsciously stopped him, "What? Holy Lord, these are my brothers, you can't do this! Do you hear me? You can't..."
Before Valon could finish his words, the Holy Lord took over his body again and used summoning magic to summon a two-headed lizard mount. Each head of the lizard mount was one meter long and big, with a tongue hanging from the corner of its mouth, and a few drops of saliva dripped from it from time to time.
Their four eyes, as big as copper bells, were staring at Zhou and his companions, as if they would devour them in the next second.
“…” Zhou swallowed, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
We can only try our best to save the situation!
Zhou looked at the lizard mount that was getting closer and closer, closed his eyes and shouted, "We saw a few people with Chen Long and his group!"
"Oh? Who is it?" The lizard stuck out its tongue and stopped in front of Zhou, then slowly retreated.
"Uh... there were two men and two women who came specifically to see Dad. It seemed they were here on a commission. They were both very powerful. One of the women tripped Ah Fu in a few moves, and the other easily knocked La Su to the ground, leaving him unable to move..." Zhou explained their entire journey in detail. "They also mentioned the great wizard."
"Yes." Even though he was unwilling, Ah Fu still admitted what Zhou said - after all, he was telling the truth.
"He's right." Lasu gave a thumbs up.
"Archmage..." The Holy Lord's voice was filled with endless resentment. "Since they mentioned this guy, then they must also be related to magic. Go and investigate them thoroughly, then come back to me!"
"Now, immediately, right now!"
“Yes… yes!”
"Yes, Master!"
"We'll leave right away!"
"goodbye!"
After hearing what the Holy Lord said, they fled the scene as if there was a ghost chasing them, leaving Walon and the Holy Lord alone.
Poor Valon: "..."
"Okay, there are more important things to do next..." Valon's refusal was drowned out by the Holy Lord's spell.
