Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Looking at Kado lying on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, she felt a pang of emotion. She dragged Kado to the store entrance and placed him next to Qiao Wei.

"Master, I'll be leaving now with Miss Nika."

Tassanya spoke towards the door of the grid shop.

"Ah."

Luo Xiu's voice came from inside the door:

"Mirel must be very tired lately, so help her with more things, especially take on the heavy and tiring work yourself. Tell Leila to be careful and that I'll be visiting her in a few days."

"Ok."

Tassanya nodded respectfully and led Nika toward the exit of Mammon Street.

Inside the alchemy shop, Luo Xiu opened Kado's magic pocket.

Inside were several bottles of Tier 3 alchemical potions, some miscellaneous items, and a Tier 4 item that looked like a cross.

Luo Xiu tried channeling magic into the cross, and it immediately burst forth with a warm, pure white light, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness. It seemed to be equipment related to holy light, and Luo Xiu guessed it could offer some resistance against undead-type skills.

In addition, there are 290 gold coins and 164 points.

Looking at the 930 gold coins and 443 points accumulated in his magic pocket, Luo Xiu decided to go to the merchant guild again in a couple of days.

Money should be spent, but strength is the most important thing at this stage. If we can find items like the Blood of the Silver Dragon, we should take them.

The storm has already been stirred up in Kanriel, and those who come knocking will only grow stronger. As for Luo Xiu's attitude towards this...

It's already set up on the street outside the door.

He picked up the booklet on violent alchemy and began studying the next magic circle.

With his current rank, he wouldn't be affected even if he didn't sleep for several days. His physical constitution is what it is; it's just a matter of replenishing his energy, which can be resolved with a healing spell.

……

Milair lay on the table, tilting her head to the side, staring intently at the yellow box in front of her, feeling quite hesitant.

To open or not to open.

She had been agonizing over this for hours after Tassanya and the others left.

She rarely accepted gifts, especially from her subordinates.

Because accepting gifts means having to do favors for subordinates.

Of course, it's also fine not to do it. For example, the gifts she gave to her boss in Bandanda never received any response.

That's precisely why she doesn't want to become like those bosses.

Those damn bastards will never understand the principle that if you accept something, you have to do the job.

She only gives gifts and never accepts them; that's why she's penniless.

But this time it was different; this time it was Luo Xiu who gave it to her.

To put it another way, this could be considered a gift from her boss, and from her very top boss at that.

I've never heard of a superior giving gifts to a subordinate before.

Miler wanted to open it and see, but she was afraid that it might contain something bad, like a note telling her to work overtime. Her former colleagues had received similar surprises before.

Working overtime is fine, since she herself belongs to Luo Xiu anyway, but the meaning is different.

If it's not opened, this gift will remain a gift forever.

But if it's not a gift once opened, then the gift, in a sense, disappears.

"Oh no, what do I do?!"

Milair rubbed her hair, extremely distressed.

Bang!

Just then, the outside door was pushed open.

Leila, dressed in a long dress, ran in excitedly.

"Lady Leila, what's wrong?"

Miler looked at Leila in surprise.

This was the first time she had seen Leila wearing a dress.

The upper body is a light white off-shoulder top with some silver-white patterns, paired with an exquisite waist belt, which looks just right on Leila.

The lower half is a light white to pale blue silk long skirt, as soft as a cloud, with dreamlike light spots surrounding the skirt, giving people a deep and distant feeling, like a dreamlike pale blue galaxy.

With the moon on top and stars on the bottom, this is truly an extremely beautiful skirt.

Milair had seen many noblemen's formal attire, but even this one paled in comparison.

"How is it, Miler? Does she look good?"

Leila blushed slightly, but still swayed from side to side to show Milair the hem of her skirt.

"It looks great, Lady Leila. It suits you perfectly. You can say you're absolutely gorgeous right now."

Milair stated truthfully.

"Thank you, Milair."

Leila smiled happily, and then pulled out a bright red rose from behind her back:

"My owner also sent me this; this is the first time I've ever received flowers."

Her face was flushed, and her expression was full of happiness.

Suddenly, Leila noticed the box on Miler's desk and asked with some confusion:

"Mirel, haven't you opened your present yet?"

"Oh, this is...that is...I was just...busy, yes, busy, I haven't had time yet."

Milair hurriedly grabbed the yellow box and tried to explain.

"Oh, I see."

Leila nodded and smiled brightly:

"Mirel, I'm leaving now. I'm going out to show my new dress to the others. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, goodbye, Lady Leila."

As Miler watched Leila happily run out the door, her heart softened.

Having spent so much time with Leila, she had truly come to appreciate Leila's charm: kindness, innocence, and easy satisfaction. Perhaps it was for these reasons that her master liked her so much.

Milair looked down at the gift in her hand.

After seeing Leila and Tassanya's gifts, she became even more excited about the gift in her hand.

How about... we open it and take a look?

Just as she made up her mind to open it.

Bang!

The door was pushed open again.

Tassanya led Nika in.

"Excuse me, Miler, I forgot to knock."

Tassania looked at the panicked Milair, a wicked smile appearing on her face:

"I think I'm bothering you."

"Knock first next time."

Milair said irritably.

Leila's refusal to knock stems from a difference in status, while this female dragon is simply impolite.

Tassania was completely unconcerned about Miler's anger; in fact, she found it quite amusing. She took out the reply Luo Xiu had given her and handed it to Miler:

"My master has instructed me to follow you during this period to help you with your work. If there is any dirty or tiring work, you can assign it to me, Commander Milair."

Hearing Tassanya's words, Milair was overjoyed.

She is indeed short-handed right now. If Tassanya comes to help her, then apart from the three fourth-rank knight vice-commanders, her side will be the strongest.

She took the letter from Tassanya and opened it to read.

The first part of the letter was about Nika, instructing her to place Nika in the Knights during this time and to have people keep an eye on Nika's movements.

The second part concerns the case of the missing persons.

As Milair read the letter, his eyes widened in disbelief.

After reading the entire letter, she quickly found detailed information on the five vice-commanders of the Knights Order who were involved in the investigation of the disappearance.

Peggy, third in line of the Knights, is a professional mage specializing in teleportation skills.

Fifth pick in the Knights' order, Lundelor, professional shadow dancer

Rose, sixth in line of the Knights, a professional hunter.

Seventh in line for the Knights, Milair, a professional assassin.

Dorian, the tenth in line of the Knights, a professional hunter.

Looking at the professions of these five people, Milair took a deep breath. Perhaps she had been heading in the wrong direction all along.

Her initial idea for solving the missing persons case was to find the connections between the missing persons, but this was like looking for a needle in a haystack. There were far too many missing people, and the connections between them were so numerous and complex that they were impossible to unravel.

Later, after Luo Xiu reminded her that there was a mole, she shifted her focus to the other four deputy leaders involved in the investigation of the disappearance case, trying to find the one whose behavior was different from the others, and that person must be the mole.

But after several searches, it was discovered that there were too many differences between these people, from their personalities to their actions to their daily whereabouts.

The letter from Luo Xiu reminded her of this.

If even they could figure out there was a mole.

Then others would surely suspect there's a mole, such as... the Grand Master of the Knights.

After so many days of investigation with no progress, the chief of staff had no reason not to suspect that there was an internal problem.
