Chapter 11 It's okay, just be careful in your next life

Pavilion of Swords and Broken Swords?

What a nice name.

Luo Yan had just sat down in the tavern and leaned his suitcase against his feet when a waitress in a short skirt trotted up with a tray in her arms and asked in a pleasant voice.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?"

She was halfway through her words when she suddenly stopped talking because that handsome face grabbed all her attention.

His handsome features were clearly defined, his high nose bridge was slightly tilted, and beneath his purple to black curly hair were a pair of dark eyes. Although he looked dusty, it could not conceal his sharp edge from within...

Although I occasionally meet some handsome guys while working here, this kind of handsome face full of stories is really unusual here.

Is he a noble of the Oss Empire?

That pale skin must be from someone who often lives in the castle...

While the waitress was stunned, Luo Yan had quickly finished reading the menu and ordered casually.

"A glass of honey water, and ten pieces of bread...if there is a bag, please get me one."

Hearing the order being taken, the waitress quickly came to her senses and responded enthusiastically.

"Okay! Sir, by the way, we have accommodation services. If you haven't found a place to stay yet, you might consider our place."

Noticing the suitcase next to him, she took the opportunity to promote her own guest rooms.

However, living here is still too risky for Luo Yan.

He had only heard of murderers returning to the crime scene, but had never heard of any murderer daring to rent a room next to the police station.

At this moment, he was less than ten meters away from the Adventurer's Guild, and the people sitting around him were all adventurers! Even though these guys seemed to have a little sympathy for the Demon King, if they knew that the Demon King was sitting next to them, Luo Yan bet that he would have already fallen to the ground.

As for why he was "risking his life" to sit here, that's a long story.

A few hours ago, standing on the teleportation array, he crossed several time zones and flew directly from the Demon City in the far west to the central part of the Aos continent, the northeastern shore of the Whirlpool Sea.

However, something terrible happened. Luo Yan never expected that the Ministry of Internal Affairs' teleportation array was so unreliable. It could point to the maze underground in Leiming City and throw him to the surface.

In short, when he came to his senses, he was already standing in an alley not far from here.

The parade of Grand Duke Campbell happened to pass by nearby, and he felt his heart stop when his gaze met those sharp eyes.

Fortunately, the bronze-level necromancer is not conspicuous.

In addition, people's attention was attracted by the knights showing off their might on the street, and they didn't notice his arrival at all.

Otherwise, there would be no need for those knights to take action, because he would be submerged in the vast sea of ​​citizens in a moment.

But then again, the reactions of those humans also confirmed Luo Yan's conjecture a long time ago -

In other words, a mere bronze-level necromancer would not arouse anyone's vigilance at all.

Having already met the brave man, he was even confident enough that even if Old Deng put his nose close to him and took a deep breath, he would not be able to smell the slightest smell of hell! Of course.

He wouldn't deliberately get close to people to smell it.

The adventurers sitting in the tavern quickly noticed this unusual guest.

However, no one associated him with the visitor from hell. Instead, they thought of him as a nobleman or something like that. They subconsciously restrained their tone of voice and whispered to each other.

"Who is this guy?"

"Who knows... an outsider, maybe a guest of the Campbell family?"

"Why are guests from the Campbell family here? I'm afraid they are guests from the mayor or the Andes family..."

"What is this guy doing here?"

"Maybe it's a commission... Anyway, let's see."

Luo Yan sat there peacefully, not paying attention to their whispers or the prying eyes.

A man of integrity has nothing to fear; he didn't think these people could see any flaws in him.

As they were observing him, he was also observing the adventurers.

Daggers, battle axes, crossbows, and muskets... these adventurers' equipment look quite ordinary, but I guess there is no need for fancy stuff in the maze.

"The situation on the surface is not much different from what is written in the book. Those muskets are probably the masterpieces of Isaac IV. But they don't seem to pose any threat to the Knight's rule?"

After all, this world has extraordinary powers, and extraordinary powers are attached to the soul and indirectly to the bloodline... Objectively speaking, this set of rules can indeed effectively suppress the progressive forces that should have appeared with the musket.

Of course, that's not the point.

He is the devil from hell and has more important things to worry about.

"By the way... this Demon Lord Dragun's territory is probably more complicated than the Ministry of Internal Affairs imagined."

Looking at the honey water brought by the waitress, Luo Yan tried to sort out the thoughts in his mind.

The possibility of something going wrong with the Ministry of Internal Affairs' teleportation array was actually very small, and the teleportation magic did not fail. I was indeed sent here, but the place where I landed was unexpected.

There is only one possibility.

Someone erased the teleportation array in the maze!

And that’s not all!

This or these sinister fellows have deliberately painted a new one in the alleys of the surface city, waiting for the new demon king to land and then turn black.

As for the reason...

Is there any need to guess?

It was because he was too weak that he landed in a calm manner. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs really sent a diamond-level demon over, he would probably be beaten to death on the head as soon as he landed!

"Tsk... these idiots, it's probably impossible to expect to start a business with them, so we should find a way to let them share more of the firepower."

Okay.

He didn't have to test the loyalty of those guys anymore. He could just beat them all to death with one stick! While Luo Yan was thinking silently in his heart, a group of people sitting not far away had already set their sights on him.

The group of adventurers has always been a mixed bag.

Some people take orders at the Adventurer's Guild during the day, and go to the Thieves' Guild in the underground street at night to earn extra money.

Although it is not easy to deal perfunctorily with commissions borrowed through formal channels, this place is after all next to the Adventurer's Guild - the Pavilion of Swords and Broken Swords.

Several burly and strong men exchanged glances and finally their eyes fell on the only female thief in the team who was wearing a small leather jacket.

I know what these idiots are thinking.

The woman rolled her eyes at her accomplices, and at the urging of several gazes, she turned and walked to the seat next to the man with the suitcase, sat down in a familiar manner, and whistled to start a conversation.

"Hey, man, where do you usually make money?"

She pulled her neckline very low, revealing a faint cleavage in her not-so-full chest muscles.

This trick should be very effective against men who are obsessed with sex, but unfortunately it is still inferior to that of a succubus.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Those who went out from the door were probably her accomplices.

Luo Yan put down the cup in his hand and acted awkwardly but pretended to be calm, as if it was his first time in such a place but he was trying to pretend that he came here often.

"Do I look like a wealthy person to you?"

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze unconsciously moved downwards to the ring on his right hand.

Gold?

I don’t know if it’s gold-plated or pure gold...but the gem looks very valuable.

There was a barely perceptible glimmer of greed in her eyes, but she looked away as if she didn't care.

"So you need a way to get rich?"

"You have?"

"Of course."

The woman who looked like a thief smiled and stretched out her right hand.

"Chris."

"Qin Shi Huang."

Luo Yan reached out his hand and shook hers. When he was about to pull his hand back, he found that the woman did not let go. Instead, she gently rubbed his palm with her index finger.

"Qingshihuang? What a strange name. Are you from the Oss Empire? Or a scholar from the North? By the way, your skin is very good, without any calluses... Let me guess, are you a magician?"

"It's just Black Iron level."

Luo Yan pulled his hand back "shyly".

The embarrassed look made Chris giggle, and she reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Iron-level magicians are quite common here. After all, the stronger ones either go to the academy or work for the lord. They rarely go out to adventure... Speaking of which, our team happens to be short of a magician. Do you want to come?"

Luo Yan: "Your team?"

Chris: "Silver Scimitar, if you're here often, you should have heard of our name."

Luo Yan: "Is this name... very famous?"

"Very, very famous, and considered a strong team for exploring the maze," Chris boasted nonsense, then suddenly lowered her voice and leaned close to his ear with a mysterious look on her face, "I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else... Actually, we recently discovered a secret passage in the maze, and if nothing goes wrong, it should lead to the Demon King's treasure house."

Luo Yan looked at her in surprise.

“Is this true or false?”

"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?" Chris laughed and patted Luo Yan on the shoulder. "How about it? Since you know magic, how about joining us?"

"No problem! Please take me with you! Wait a minute, I'll pay the bill first—"

With a look of overjoyed on his face, Luo Yan stood up from his seat with a bang, as if he was really overwhelmed by the overwhelming wealth.

Seeing the waitress walking over, he immediately reached into his arms, remembering that he hadn't paid the bill yet. However, Chris, who also stood up, got there before him and threw the meal fee and tip into the tray in the waitress's hand with a giggle.

"I'll treat you to this meal to celebrate your joining our Silver Scimitar! When you become rich in the future, don't forget me."

As she spoke, she inadvertently turned her head and glared at the waitress who was in the way with a sinister look.

The waitress carrying the tray looked pale and her legs trembled unconsciously.

Although she really wanted to remind the handsome boy that the girl sitting opposite him was not a good person, she finally gave in and lowered her head.

She is just an ordinary person.

Some things are beyond her control.

Following Chris, Luo Yan, carrying a suitcase, left the pub with brisk steps.

It seems that these people can escort me into the maze.

He was just worried about not having a guide, but now he not only had a guide, but also a temporary bodyguard! The clinking of glasses in the tavern did not stop at all.

Looking at the young man who was led out the door, many adventurers showed playful expressions on their faces.

Poor guy, he was actually targeted by the silver scimitar.

But it doesn't matter.

Just remember to be more careful in your next life...
