Chapter 141 Mr. Colin, how are you feeling now? How am I feeling?

After hearing Ignis's explanation, Louis and the others seemed to understand.

Orianna is different from other level four professionals.

She possesses higher talent, greater strength, and a higher status than other level four professionals, and has also gained the favor of a demigod.

This is why she was able to disregard the opinions of Erisil and the royal family, act arbitrarily, and be unchecked by anyone.

That makes sense when you think about it, since both the hero's remains and the hero's secret manual are treasures that level four professionals crave.

If Orianna hadn't been stronger than other level four professionals, how could she have come alone to reap this enormous fortune?

If every level four professional could utterly disgrace the Lortheran royal family, then the king would be out of a job.

This woman's temper also gave Louis a headache.

Although Orianna didn't know this nobody at all, if he discovered that Molly's body had disappeared after destroying the demon camp, who knows how furious she would be.

Hopefully, when she's angry, she'll vent her anger on the demons, and please don't take it out on them.

At the same time, Louis sincerely hoped that Orianna would hurry back to her capital, as Blackrock City was too small to accommodate such a great figure as her.

Erisil wasn't affected by what had just happened for long. She gently said to Ignis, "Teacher, I'm so glad your injuries have healed so well."

"However, please rest for a while longer and don't upset yourself. My teammates and I will take our leave now."

Ignis nodded, her tone softening: "Your Highness, it seems you only completed your second job advancement last night. You should consolidate your strength after returning and seize the opportunity to unleash your power after the job advancement."

"I will."

Erihill nodded solemnly, then turned and left.

As she left, she nodded to Louis, who was standing at the door, and then brushed past him.

Clearly, she didn't recognize Louis as the great demon who had humiliated her endlessly the previous night.

However, Anridor, who was following behind Erisil, glanced at Louis with some confusion.

Strange, why do my legs feel weak when I see this person?

It seems like—it seems like a little bit has leaked out again. I need to go back and change my clothes right away.

Is it a lingering effect of what happened last night?

After the third hero squad left, Nora exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle-Master, Princess Erisil seemed to have called you—Teacher?"

Ignis waved his hand casually: "I was just a court magician for a few years, and I only taught Her Highness a few tricks when she was young. I can't really be considered her teacher."

"But Erihil has been a sensible child since he was little, and he has always called me that to show his respect for me."

Nora couldn't help but glance at it, her eyes filled with a complex expression.

After going around in circles, have we somehow become half-family with the Third Hero Squad?

Louis's mood also became somewhat complicated.

Ignis is his younger brother's senior apprentice, and Erisil regards Ignis as her teacher; such a connection is quite remarkable.

So last night was like a flood washing away the Dragon King Temple, and now the family doesn't recognize each other anymore?

"By the way, what brings you here?"

Ignis finally had a moment to ask.

Nora repeated her prepared statement.

The bald, white-bearded Grand Master nodded: "Knowing to take your teacher in and care for him shows that you two disciples have some conscience."

The old man looked at Colin and sighed, "Senior brother, why don't you go with these children and relax? Don't dwell on the matter of Hero Molly anymore. We can't defeat Orianna."

Colin nodded bitterly and turned to pack his luggage.

Not long after, at Louis's house in the outer city.

"You've brought me to live in such a tiny house? It's not even as good as my basement room."

97

"You've made quite a bit of money lately, haven't you? Can't you improve your living conditions a little?"

Colin looked around at the two-story house, which was only comparable to the living conditions of an ordinary working-class family, and was very dissatisfied.

He felt deeply that his retirement after his death would not be pleasant.

What happened to the promise of having apprentices to provide for you in your old age?

Nora couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what would happen next. She rarely showed a cheerful expression and said, "Changing houses is a matter for later, teacher. Stop talking nonsense. This house is called 'outwardly shabby, inwardly precious.'"

"Once you're inside, I guarantee you won't want to leave, even if it kills you."

Colin:

'

The old man became somewhat frightened by what he was being said.

Why does he keep talking about death? Are there three hundred axemen lying in wait to chop him up?

But once they reached the door, Colin clearly couldn't escape and was dragged into the room by his two apprentices.

There were no executioners inside, which relieved Colin.

"Teacher, come over here. Don't blink, a surprise is coming soon."

Nora grabbed the teacher's only remaining arm and pulled him to her room door, then pushed the door open.

"What are you up to, girl—"

Colin was initially a little apprehensive, but he was stunned when he saw the figure lying on the single bed in the room.

He stood frozen at the doorway, stunned for a very long time.

Seemingly worried that he was seeing things, he raised his arm and vigorously wiped the will-o'-the-wisps from his eyes, trying to see more clearly.

He saw it.

On Nora's bed lay a woman dressed in black armor.

The woman's black mask had been removed, revealing a face that wasn't particularly beautiful, but was delicate and full of warmth.

She closed her eyes, as if she were asleep.

Colin will never forget that face.

"Molly————"

After an unknown amount of time, Colin finally exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest and uttered the name of the woman in black armor.

His tone still conveyed a strong sense of disbelief.

"Teacher, how are you feeling now? How are you feeling?"

Nora asked with a sinister laugh, like a dark witch.

Colin didn't speak, but quickly walked to Molly's body, gently stroking her cheek with his withered fingers, before murmuring, "How...how did you do that?"

He never imagined that the plan he had come up with in desperation, a plan he himself didn't believe could succeed and dared not implement, would actually be completed by Louis's team.

They actually stole Molly's body from the demonic tide, and they did it so perfectly that no one else knew about it.

How exactly did they do that?

Nora became slightly more serious and coughed lightly, saying, "This is all thanks to Louis. We didn't really help much. If you want to thank someone, thank him."

"Also, we're not giving you Molly's three copies of the Hero's Codex. We'll use them ourselves, so give up on that idea."

Colin nodded repeatedly, without a single objection.

"Of course, of course."

"I'll be content as long as Molly can be buried properly."
