Chapter 138 Louis, something's wrong with you!

After revealing this biggest secret, there was no longer any barrier between Louis and his teammates.

This allowed him to showcase all his current abilities to his teammates.

He shared a vast amount of information with Daina and the others, including their talents, skills, and even demonic attributes.

After all, these things can't be kept secret.

If they encounter a powerful enemy in the future, would he still tie his own hands to keep these secrets and refuse to share his truly powerful talents and skills with Daina and the others?

of course not.

All the members of the sewer team were part of his strength; the stronger they were, the more confident he would be in overcoming difficulties.

He also believed that Dina, Nora, and Merry would not betray his trust.

After digesting the information shared by Louis, everyone started discussing serious matters.

One issue is how the sewer team should present itself to the public in the future.

As a team of somewhat well-known but not particularly noteworthy professionals, announcing now that one of them has become a Level 2 professional would undoubtedly cause a sensation.

Therefore, everyone unanimously decided that, unless absolutely necessary, they would never reveal their combat strength above the first-level professional level in public in the coming months.

A few months later, when everyone on the team had become Level 2 professionals and passed the period of rapid growth after the job change, it would be more appropriate to show a little bit of their strength again.

For example, let Dai Na, who is known as a genius, step forward first and declare that she is the first level two professional in the team.

This way, outsiders won't doubt the speed of Louis's team's progress.

At most, one could only sigh that Louis was incredibly lucky to have recruited such a talented teammate.

In short, in order to conceal the team's sudden increase in strength, Louis decided to immediately upgrade the Ordinary Mask to level 2 and then share it with his teammates through "ability sharing".

He selected three skills from the level 0 skill pool that were related to the disguise effect, upgraded them to level 1, and then fused them with the Ordinary Mask.

After merging five level 1 skills, the Ordinary Mask automatically upgrades to a level 2 skill, greatly enhancing its disguise effect.

At least now they can finally conceal Louis's aura, which is almost identical to that of a level three professional.

The second important matter is the disposal of Molly's remains.

Molly's three copies of the Hero's Codex have been divided up by Louis's team, and Louis has also taken all her attributes. It's time to give her a proper burial.

Even the necromancer Nora couldn't bring herself to blaspheme her teacher's former teammate.

Moreover, she was far from having the ability to control the remains of a level three hero; those three level two witch demons would be enough for her to use for quite some time.

After some discussion, they decided to call Colin out of Ignis's mansion in the afternoon.

It is up to him to decide how to bury Molly the Hero.

After discussing the two matters and reaching a conclusion, the team members prepared to change their clothes and wash up.

After working all night, the pretty girl smelled bad.

Merry went to wash up first.

Upon hearing Dina's question, Louis's expression immediately turned strange.

"Uh—it went fairly smoothly, you could even say—there was an unexpected surprise."

Upon hearing this, both girls became somewhat interested.

"What unexpected surprise?"

Louis recounted, somewhat embarrassed, the series of events that had occurred the previous night after he had sneaked into the princess's bedroom.

Of course, we won't go into the incidents of ordering Erisil to squat down and scaring Anredo so badly that she peed her pants. These things would more or less affect his reputation and make others think he was a pervert.

Even though Louis had tried his best to cover up things that could easily cause misunderstandings, the two beautiful girls still looked at him strangely.

"Something's wrong with you."

Nora said sharply.

If she weren't not wearing glasses, she would definitely be looking at the glare on her lenses and adjusting them right now.

Louis: "—Wasn't I forced into this situation? I couldn't kill Erisil, so I had to pretend to be a demon to trick her."

Nora: "That's true, but to be able to impersonate a demon so convincingly, you're truly one of a kind among heroes."

Louis: "————"

As expected, their reputation suffered.

Dana hesitated for a moment, seemingly because Nora had already vented all her frustrations, and finally brought up another matter.

"I didn't expect that Ariel also changed jobs last night."

The fact that the third hero leveled up was perfectly reasonable and not surprising.

After all, it is said that this princess had already maxed out all her attributes except faith before she came to Blackrock City.

After arriving in Blackrock City, she consistently fought on the front lines against the demonic tide, accumulating merits much faster than Louis's squad in the sewers.

The great undertaking of saving 100,000 people was already due for completion.

Even though this was expected, Daina still felt a lingering fear.

If Louis hadn't risked everything to infiltrate the demon camp and retrieve the remains of the hero Molly, his progress would have lagged far behind that of Erisil.

By then, if Erisil discovers the true nature of their team, they will be completely unable to compete with Erisil.

Fortunately, Louis eventually beat Erisil to it and despicably used the slave mind lock to forcibly control the latter.

Their team can rest easy for now.

In the afternoon, the entire Louis team donned plain masks and waited for May to use a runic barrier to seal the room where Molly's body was kept before heading to Ignis's mansion.

However, before heading to the inner city, they first went to the Blackrock Legion to collect the bounty for the two nights Louis was away.

The total bounty for the two nights is 70 gold!

Of these, a full 30 gold came from the battle merits of killing the succubus. In the process of killing the succubus, the brain-eating monkey and the king goblin also received considerable battle merits.

However, since Tiga was the main force in taking down these three level 1 demons and monsters, a portion of the bounty should still be given to her.

The stronghold of the Frostclaw tribe warriors.

Led by an orc warrior, Louis's party arrived at Tigar's barracks.

The young chieftain of the Frostclaw tribe did not stay in a single room, but instead ate and lived with his comrades.

One of her roommates, Louis, even knew the catgirl captain who guarded the No. 15 sewage outlet with them.

"Young Chieftain Tiga, this is your bounty."

Louis took 21 gold coins from the 70 gold bounty he had just received and handed them to the white tiger orc in front of him.

That is, 30% of the total bounty.

Staring at the stack of gleaming gold coins, Tigana's amber eyes seemed somewhat dazed, as if she hadn't quite processed what was happening.

Louis was also taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Is it because it's not enough?"

Tija snapped out of her daze and shook her head: "No, I'm just surprised that I got so much money."

"In terms of position, I am your subordinate, and it is my duty to help you fight the enemy."

Louis smiled knowingly and said, "You're looking at this from a soldier's perspective, but we're looking at it from an adventurer's perspective."

"Whoever puts in the most effort will naturally get a larger share of the money, so just accept it."

Tiga nodded and took the gold coin with her furry tiger paw.

Louis withdrew his hand, ready to leave, but thinking of Tiga's impressive performance on the battlefield that day, he couldn't help but say, "If you'd like to join our team, we'd be very happy to welcome you."
