A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

"It smells so good!" Raphtalia scooped up a spoonful of something that looked like curry sauce. Her meal was a children's meal, so compared to Levi and Licia's "all-meat team," the meat on her side was cut into thin strips, and some was made into meat floss, all to suit children's eating habits.

Raphtalia's way of holding the spoon is quite childlike, but that's the innocence that should be present at her age. In the original story, she matured too early in terms of both body and mind due to gaining experience, which caused her to lose her childhood.

Li Wei didn't want to see this happen, which is why he gave her a debuff. In a way, this debuff was also a form of care for her.

"The cuisine here is still a bit inferior to that of my hometown, but its rugged beauty is not bad either." Li Wei put a piece of cut beef into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The diet for adventurers is high in calories and nutrients, which would be unhealthy for most modern humans on Earth. However, adventurers in this world frequently need to fight, a dangerous activity that consumes a great deal of physical and mental energy. Only this high-calorie, high-nutrient diet can keep them physically strong.

“I really want to try the cuisine from Lord Li Wei’s hometown,” Lisia said with a smile.

"I'll cook for you guys when I have the chance. I'm confident in my cooking skills," Li Wei said with a smile.

Chapter 1. The Assassin

After dinner, the three of them went up to the third floor of the hotel. The hotel was four stories high, with the first floor being the dining hall and the third and fourth floors being the guest rooms.

They opened the door to the room with the key, and a somewhat rough guest room appeared in front of them. The environment was quite simple, but it could be said that it was well-maintained.

However, none of the three are particularly picky. Levi is the type who can enjoy life and endure hardship, while Lisia's years of adventure have enabled her to adapt to all sorts of harsh environments. As for Raphtalia, her life as a slave has allowed her to remain calm in the face of all kinds of adverse situations, and her current environment is already quite good.

Li Wei looked around and said, "There's nowhere to take a bath."

Lisia said, "It doesn't matter if there's no place to shower. The longest I've ever gone without showering was a month when I was adventuring in a maze. Nobody could shower there, and when we came out of the maze, everyone smelled terrible."

Lisia recalled her adventurous career; if it weren't for her rich experience, she wouldn't have been qualified to stand on the throne hall and become a hero's companion.

Therefore, she felt that all the hardships she had endured in the past were well worth it.

Lisia said, "There's a public bathhouse in the village. It costs ten copper coins per session, which is a bit pricey, but adventurers are willing to go there. It's run by a mage, and the opposite side has a special spatial storage technique, so adventurers don't have to worry about losing their equipment. That's why business there has always been good."

Equipment is like an adventurer's second life, especially valuable equipment with special effects; adventurers even sleep with their equipment.

Losing one's valuable equipment while taking a bath is such a foolish mistake that any adventurer would be so frustrated that they would beat their chest and put on a mask of anguish.

However, Li Wei doesn't need to worry about losing his equipment. He can just throw whatever he wants into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Raphtalia said, "Adventurers really trust that mage. Aren't they afraid their equipment will be stolen? After all, a bath only costs ten copper coins. They can easily make a lot of money by making a big score."

Lisia laughed and said, "That person is a harmless 'sacrifice'. Her power comes from helping others and fulfilling her vows. Once she breaks her vows, she will be devoured by them and die instantly. By the way, she is a demi-human, belonging to the gray wolf sub-human race."

Raphtalia looked curious and said, "A demi-human? Come to think of it, when we were in the capital, we were even kicked out of restaurants because I'm a demi-human. Why doesn't anyone care that I'm a demi-human here?"

Lisia sighed and said, "In my opinion, the royal capital, which is said to be the benevolent place of the kingdom, is actually the place with the biggest problems. In other places, whether human or demi-human, everyone has one head and two arms. But in the royal capital, even among humans, there are three classes, let alone demi-humans. Therefore, the royal capital makes no attempt to hide its prejudice against outsiders, country folk, and demi-humans."

Li Wei could understand this situation. After all, as the capital of the country, the people living there would all have some sense of superiority. As long as these people's sense of superiority didn't trample on him, he had no objections. However, he had encountered such a situation before, which was why the entire restaurant was wiped out.

Lisia said, "This kind of discrimination is most serious in the capital. In other places, the situation is slightly better. Although people still discriminate in their hearts, they won't say it out loud. After all, demi-human is just a general term. There are many branches of the demi-human race that can fight. I have been on adventures with some demi-human teammates before, and I have to say, they are quite powerful."

Li Wei said, "Lisia, you have quite a wealth of adventure experience. You might need this knowledge in the future, and then we'll have to rely on you."

Lisia said somewhat embarrassedly, "No, I've only been working with the team for a few years, and I haven't accomplished anything significant. I've just been getting by."

Lisia felt she had no reason to be proud. After all, she had mostly played a support role in her previous team. Even when they slew dragons, she didn't directly fight the dragons; she just buffed and healed her teammates. So she had a lot of adventurous experiences, but not many truly outstanding achievements.

Raphtalia said, "I also want to become an excellent adventurer like Lilycia!"

Listening to Levi and Raphtalia's words, Lishia, who was already introverted, became even more embarrassed.

Li Wei pulled a blanket from the cupboard, spread it on the floor, and said, "Lishia, Raphtalia, it's time to rest."

Raphtalia looked at the makeshift bed that Levi had already prepared and said, "My lord, aren't you going to sleep up there?"

"You two can sleep upstairs, I'll sleep on the floor here," Li Wei said.

"How can this be? The hero is sleeping on the floor while the two of us are sleeping on the bed. What kind of behavior is this?!" Lisia was also somewhat surprised.

"Shut up and go to sleep." Li Wei lay down on the quilt spread on the floor, turned over, and said irritably.

Li Wei's tone was quite firm, and both girls shrank back, no longer arguing, and obediently lay down on the bed and covered themselves with the blankets. However, Raphtalia was held tightly by Lisia, as if she were hugging a large pillow.

As night deepened, Li Wei sensed that a group of sneaky people had slipped in through the back door of the inn. These people were all masked, not wearing armor, and only carrying daggers and short swords, resembling assassins.

Li Wei sensed that this group of people was quite conspicuous. Of course, their strength wasn't much either; most of them were only a few levels of weaklings, and a few were even ordinary people at the highest level.

Chapter 4. The Failed Assassination

Li Wei's perception didn't extend too far outward; it only enveloped the entire hotel. They were just a group of assassins, perhaps they had a grudge against someone here and were here for revenge. There was no need to make a fuss.

However, when Li Wei overheard the conversation between these assassins, the expression on his face resembled that of Kim Jong-un.

The assassin whispered to the people behind him, "We'll sneak to the outside of the Shield Demon's room. The mage will be responsible for pulling the bolt from the inside. Once we're inside, we'll cover the demon's head with a rag to silence him, and then kill him."

"Yes! But boss, the Shield Demon is a heretical demon who is proficient in defense. With the manpower here, can we do anything to him?" A masked assassin with a large axe and a slightly fat figure said in a low voice.

The assassin leader said, "That demon has only just left the capital, so his level should be very low. Even if he is good at defense, he can't withstand the attack of so many of us."

A lean, masked assassin said, "Boss, but the Shield Demon also has a mage by his side. It won't be that easy to launch a sneak attack."

"Am I the boss, or are you the boss?! Listen to me, once we get inside, we'll hack that demon to pieces!" The assassin leader slapped the lean assassin on the head and said viciously.

All the masked assassins fell silent, gripping their weapons tightly. Visibility was extremely low throughout the floor, and they were hidden in the shadows, making them difficult to spot without careful observation.

Li Wei, lying on the floor, looked utterly helpless. He had no idea which deity he had offended this time, that would send an assassin to kill him at this crucial moment.

However, the assassins had a point. The Shield Hero's defensive capabilities were unmatched among his peers. If they didn't eliminate him now, they wouldn't be able to break through his defenses later.

Li Wei was curious as to who would want to take his life at this time. Maddie was now on his side, and although the king disliked him, he understood the disparity in power between them. The nobles, however, didn't dare to do such a thing.

Li Wei continued to observe the infiltrators. Gathering intelligence was not difficult for him; he could simply capture them and extract their memories directly from their brains.

Levi sat up. Raphtalia and Lisia were already fast asleep. Levi cast a small spell to block out outside sounds and then walked out of the room.

Outside the room, the assassin had already reached this side, while Li Wei chose to circle around to the opposite side and get behind them. The assassin had already reached the door of the room. Li Wei now had a hammer in his hand, used for smashing walls. It had no extra decorations or unusual design, but even in the hands of an ordinary person, this hammer could break through the defenses of ordinary armor without magical enhancement.

Li Wei looked at the back of the assassin's head, like a quality inspector about to jump off a building, and smashed the hammer down. Instantly, red and white splattered out.

The assassin, with a hole punched in the back of his head, fell to the ground, his body hitting the wooden floor with a dull thud.

The assassins in front heard the sound, stopped, and looked back. They saw the corpse lying on the ground and smelled the pungent stench of blood.

These unprofessional assassins panicked instantly, like ducks being chased by sticks, almost jumping up.

"Don't panic! Everyone move closer to me. If you can't move closer, stand with your backs against the wall! Or stand back to back!" As the most professional person in this group, the assassin leader did not panic in the face of this situation and made a judgment in a very short time.

But his judgment was useless. Li Wei, hidden in the shadows, swung the hammer down again. This time, the unlucky guy who was hit had a harder skull than the previous one, so his brains weren't smashed out, but his entire head caved in. The immense pressure caused the lower half of his face to swell, and at the same time, his brains were squeezed out through his seven orifices.

The appearance of the first victim instantly shattered the morale of these unprofessional assassins. Some screamed and began to flee. Just then, all the candlelight in the corridor went out, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness.

"A monster is watching us in the dark! Run!" Someone shouted, and after the first fleeer, the others began to run. The assassin leader felt helpless and fearful in the face of this situation. He wasn't a professional assassin, and his mental fortitude was lacking; only his pride as a leader prevented him from showing panic.

This unprofessional assassin leader tried his best to stop his men from escaping, but his intimidation was far less than the fear instilled by the lurking Li Wei. In just a few seconds, no one was left around him.

In the darkness, the assassin could only hear his own heavy breathing, the sound of fear.

Just as he was about to slip away, a hand landed on his shoulder. The assassin leader was struck dumb and immediately knelt on the ground, sobbing softly, "Don't kill me, don't kill me... We were just following orders."

Li Wei said nothing, but placed his hand directly on the back of the assassin's head and began to forcibly read the other's memories.

The other person's memories began to play like a movie. He watched from a third-person perspective, reviewing all the recent memories the other person could recall in detail, and found the information he wanted.

The person who ordered these unprofessional assassins to kill him was a man dressed in black robes. The man gave the assassin leader three gold coins, so the assassin leader gathered a group of people to cause him trouble.

The man in the black robe had no distinguishing physical features, and his face was completely covered by a black cloth. However, one detail caught Li Wei's attention. On the man's wrist was a very small pendant of the Three Courages Sect. This pendant was so small that an ordinary person would not notice it at all without careful observation. The assassin leader had not noticed it either, but subconsciously, he still remembered this feature of the man.

"Are they from the church?" Li Wei asked, somewhat surprised.

Chapter 1. Handling of Loot

Li Wei found this matter rather strange. The Three Warriors Sect was indeed no good, but was it a bit too early to start targeting him now?

The Three Heroes Cult revealed its ambitions starting from the beginning of the anime. Because the three heroes were utterly useless, the Three Heroes Cult planned to eliminate the current three heroes, then deal with the Shield Hero, and resummon them, hoping to gamble on their luck to summon an SSR instead of having such a bad hand.

As things stand, the three heroes of the spear, sword, and bow haven't started to give up yet. Logically speaking, the Three Heroes Cult still has high hopes for those three weaklings and shouldn't start causing trouble so quickly. However, since the incident has already happened, he can't pretend it never happened.

We'll inevitably clash with the Three Braves Sect sooner or later; this score will be settled eventually.

“Novels need logic, but reality doesn’t. It’s possible that this was orchestrated by extremists from the Three Heroes Cult. It’s also possible that someone framed the Three Heroes Cult to incite conflict between me and them. But whatever the case, the person who did this must die,” Li Wei muttered to himself.

Li Wei released his grip, and the assassin leader, his brains already scalded, collapsed to the ground with a terrified expression. Although his heart was still beating and he was still breathing, his brain had been turned into roasted brains. Li Wei didn't care about the life or death of such henchmen.

After disposing of the bodies in the corridor, Levi returned to his room. Raphtalia and Lisia were still fast asleep. Levi lay back down on his makeshift bed and closed his eyes.

Li Wei knew that assassination attempts against him would be frequent in the future. However, such things didn't matter to him. With his absolute advantage in strength, assassination attempts like these were nothing more than farcical farces to him.

In the early morning, Raphtalia slowly woke up. She broke free from Lisia's embrace and tiptoed to Levi's side.

Raphtalia looked out the window. It was still pitch black outside. It was summer, when the sunrise was early, and judging from the darkness, it was still quite a long time before dawn.

"Lord Levi shouldn't wake up, right?" Raphtalia carefully lifted Levi's blanket, wagging her big tail, and crawled inside.

........................

The next day, when Li Wei woke up, he could still smell a faint fragrance lingering in his mouth. He knew that Raphtalia had come by in the middle of the night. Raphtalia was still quite insecure, which was why she acted that way. Once she gradually got used to this kind of life, she wouldn't feel so insecure anymore.

After breakfast, the three left the inn, carrying their loot. Led by Lishia, they arrived at a material recycling shop and stopped at the entrance.

When the three stopped at the shop entrance, the buyer was still arguing with the two adventurers about the price of recycled materials. Although the two adventurers tried their best to argue, they were no match for the unscrupulous merchant, and the buyer bought their materials after the price was lowered.

After the two adventurers left, the three of them arrived in front of the buyer.

"These junk items are worth a silver coin," the buyer said arrogantly, glancing at the materials on the table out of the corner of his eye.

Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, walked up to the buyer, looked down at him without saying a word, but his serious expression made the buyer shrink back.

"What do you want to do? If you cause trouble here, I'll call the guards." The buyer's voice unconsciously rose.

Li Wei drew his warhammer from his waist and gently placed the hammerhead on the table. The moment the hammerhead hit the table, numerous cracks appeared on the entire surface.
