Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

At this moment, Kanriel was experiencing a true celebration, to commemorate this victory that would go down in history.

The alchemists on Mammon Street blew up their boilers into the sky as fireworks during their revelry.

Rum Street announced that the entire street will be completely free today.

The scrap metal street gave all the scrap metal recyclers a full day off, so as not to waste the whole day of free time on Rum Street.

The Kanriel Market was on sale, and the arena reopened, but it was a musical performance. The men and women of the academy came and went in pairs, and the knights and sorcerers sang and danced together.

The dead will find peace in the revelry, and the living will embrace each other passionately in the revelry.

This is the attitude of this crazy and absurd city towards life and death.

Of course, there were also people mourning.

Children lined up and ran out of the city, each placing a bouquet of paper flowers at the base of the statue in the center outside the city.

"To tell you a secret, Shake actually doesn't like children at all."

Vivian stood in the corner watching all this and sighed.

"Really? No wonder he doesn't like me."

Basil expressionlessly downed half of a bottle of special apple martini and wiped his mouth.

Even if she disliked Shake, she had to admit that his actions this time were incredibly cool.

"But that guy might not be dead, so to be honest, there's nothing to mourn."

Basil pursed her lips, her striking platinum blonde hair cascading down her back and shimmering in the sunlight.

No one would believe that this seemingly delicate and beautiful doll-like girl is the commander of the Knights Order.

She downed the remaining half of her martini in one gulp, flung the bottle away, and then headed into the city.

He waved with his back to Vivian:

"I'm leaving now, I have some things to take care of."

……

Inside the Knights' Building.

The Knights are on holiday today, and the entire building is empty. Even the vice-commanders have been given a rare day off. The post-disaster reconstruction will begin tomorrow.

In Milair's office, Tata withdrew her hand from Shek's shoulder, closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice:

"Shek's condition is very strange, similar to a state of suspended animation, but this state of suspended animation is very different from the state of suspended animation in normal humans."

"To be more precise, it should be a state similar to the suspended animation of a plant."

"Perhaps it's related to the research he's been doing all along."

"Research?"

Luo Xiu looked at Shek, who was sitting on the throne of thorns.

He and Tata had tried to remove Shek from the throne, but found it impossible. By this time, Shek seemed to have become one with the thorn throne after a long period of conquest.

In the end, they could only bring the throne back with them.

Tata nodded:

"Shek has been conducting research on fusing human bodies and demons. You should have heard of his chief student, who fused with a fourth-order demon bat. So it seems that before his chief student, he must have been experimenting on himself."

"These thorns were a gift that his family received by chance from the capital. They could not be planted and survived because of the mushroom monster in Kanriel Garden polluting the land. Unexpectedly, he used them to fuse with other plants."

"But this is also strange. Logically speaking, even if Thorn has strong vitality because he is a plant, his soul should not be able to withstand the pain of magic burning. It should be burned away as the magic is exhausted."

"But he still has remnants of soul power within him."

Luo Xiu was aware of this, and it was probably because his healing spell could heal soul injuries.

However, his current healing spells can only treat minor injuries and cannot bring Shek back to life.

"At least there's still a glimmer of hope, but we don't know how long it will take for him to wake up."

Tata looked at Shek, the "old friend" who had deceived him for many years.

Finally, they looked away.

“Take him to that garden in the inner city and plant him there; the soil there is the best in all of Kanriel.”

After speaking, he looked up at Luo Xiu:

"And you, Luo Xiu, what are your plans for the future?"

"Teacher, I——"

Before Luo Xiu could finish speaking, the sound of the Knights' headquarters door being blasted open interrupted him.

The two went downstairs with doubts and saw three large groups of people in the lobby.

"Hello, we are looking for Lord Basil."

The man leading the group on the far left was wearing an extravagantly luxurious gold bathrobe. When he saw Luo Xiu and Tata, his expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he was not one of Kanriel's men.

To be more precise, none of the three groups of people in front of them looked like Kanriel's men.

They completely lacked the excited spirit of the Kanriel people. Instead, they exuded an arrogant air in every gesture. For example, the man in the bathrobe in front of them never looked directly at Luo Xiu and Tata. There was a barrier of nobility in his indifferent gaze, as if he were not talking to anyone.

I only spoke to Tata and Luo Xiu out of necessity.

Luo Xiu was very familiar with this feeling; Gane, the seeded player from the capital, looked exactly like this.

Chapter 209 The Arrogant People from the Capital

"Lady Basil is not here at the moment. You may have to wait for a while. Perhaps she will return tonight."

At this moment, only Luo Xiu and Tata were in the Knights' headquarters. Luo Xiu came out and answered the question from the man in the golden bathrobe.

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, the man in the golden bathrobe wore an expression that suggested he had expected this. He glanced at the leader of the middle group with a hint of mockery, a smile playing on his lips.

"Sir Peter, didn't you say that your knightly order and the merchant guild are absolutely different?"

"So, the absolute discipline you're talking about means that even the Grand Master of the Knights isn't in the Knights' headquarters."

The leader of the middle column was a knight fully armed in black and gold armor, his red cloak gleaming in the dim hall, and the tall black horse he rode was as tall as two men.

Upon hearing the man in the bathrobe's words, his eyes beneath his helmet darkened, and his entire demeanor changed abruptly, transforming from calm and composed to somewhat terrifying, like the calm before a storm.

“I remember Basil used to be a very obedient child. It seems that he has been neglected for too long and has become a bit lax.”

He spoke, and his voice didn't sound old.

Then, in a flash, a long, broad, black and gold round spear appeared in the hand of the leading knight, its tip pointed directly at the neck of the man in the bathrobe, its dark edge flashing.

“But before you discipline Basil, Mulan, I hope you remember that the purpose of our visit is to clean up the mess your Chamber of Commerce has made.”

Facing the sharp spearhead less than a centimeter from his neck, the man in the bathrobe remained calm, even smiling slightly.

"First of all, Mr. Peter, I would like to reiterate that the Canril Chamber of Commerce and our Platinum Chamber of Commerce have no direct subordinate relationship. Although we have always provided some financial assistance to the Canril Chamber of Commerce, it does not mean that we are responsible for the actions of the president of the Canril Chamber of Commerce."

"Secondly, the information we received is only the word of Lord Kanriel, and the authenticity of the information still needs further verification."

Platinum Chamber of Commerce.

Luo Xiu's heart stirred slightly upon hearing the words of the man in the bathrobe; Gane was also from the Platinum Merchant Guild.

Sure enough, the three groups of people in front of them came from the capital.

Combining the conversation between the knight and the man in the bathrobe, it's not hard to deduce what happened.

It must have been that Shek sent a message to the capital early in the battle, requesting support from there, which is why the three teams in front of us rushed over.

But strangely, he remembered that Hup had said there was a teleportation array between the capital and Kanriel. If the message had been delivered, the support should not have arrived so slowly.

What's even stranger is that it seems that neither Shek nor Tata ever included the support from the capital in their plans.

Otherwise, Shek wouldn't have had to face death.

Luo Xiu turned his head slightly to look at the teacher beside him, his eyes flashing with scrutiny.

From the moment she saw the three groups of people in front of her, her teacher felt a series of negative emotions, including displeasure, anger, and disgust.

There is indeed a problem here.

Luo Xiu averted his gaze, preparing to observe the situation calmly.

Despite the man in the bathrobe's explanation, the knight on the tall horse remained unmoved, showing no intention of putting away his lance.

As the situation grew increasingly tense and began to spiral out of control, the leader of the rightmost queue finally spoke.

"Alright, my good buddies, relax. There are outsiders here, don't make things too awkward."

He was a middle-aged man with a large belly. His sparse, golden curly hair couldn't cover his bald head. In addition, the blue and white robe he was wearing was covered with all kinds of glittering gold decorations, giving him the look of a nouveau riche.

Faced with the middle-aged man's persuasion, the knight remained silent for a few seconds, and the spear in his hand turned into specks of light and dissipated.

"That's right, dear Peter. Would you like some of our Chamber of Commerce's latest tranquilizer? It not only soothes the nerves and relieves internal heat, but it's also great for the skin. Most importantly, I can give you a very good discount."

The middle-aged man pulled out a bottle of blue-green potion from somewhere in his robe and reached his fat hand toward the knight.

Although he seemed quite familiar with the knight in his words, he unexpectedly changed the subject at the end, saying that he wanted to charge a fee.

When Luo Xiu heard him mention the Chamber of Commerce, he vaguely guessed the origin of the person in front of him. It should be another major Chamber of Commerce in the capital, the Holy Sea Chamber of Commerce.

The knight completely ignored the middle-aged man's sales pitch, and calmly spoke from his tall horse:

"Find the basil within two hours, or face military punishment."

"..."

Luo Xiu realized that the knight was talking to him when he saw that the soldiers in black and gold armor behind him did not move at all after the knight finished speaking.

"……I?"

He pointed to himself.

The knight opposite frowned:

"The quality of the Knights' soldiers has also declined; it seems that Basil really needs some punishment."

“Um… Mr. Peter, I would like to clarify that I am not a member of the Knights. In fact, I should only be considered a friend of Mr. Basil.”

Luo Xiu spoke, and his words caused everyone in the three groups to look at him.
