adventurers in the sewers

Chapter 142 Arwen, My God of Wealth!

Colin's idea was to send Molly's remains back to her hometown and bury her in a beautiful place.

Louis and others naturally agreed with this.

However, the demonic tide has not yet subsided, and setting off immediately would easily attract unnecessary attention from some people, so it is necessary to wait a while before setting off.

A level 3 professional's physical body has already reached the point of being incorruptible, so there is no need to worry about the body decaying.

As the number of guests increased, Louis realized that he needed to move to a larger house.

However, a large-scale move would be too time-consuming and laborious, so after some consideration, Louis went to talk to the landlord of the row of houses and rented the adjacent house.

The landlord readily agreed to Louis's request, given that Louis was a professional.

They went together to find the current residents of the neighboring houses.

After the landlord offered to move the family to a better house on another street for free and reduce their rent by three months, the family readily moved out.

In this way, Nora and Dana could move in, becoming neighbors separated only by a wall, and avoiding unnecessary awkwardness when living together.

As for Nora's original house, it was rented anyway, so she can just cancel the lease.

After much effort, Louis's team finally managed to move just before nightfall.

The newly rented house has a basement, which is perfect for storing Nora's experimental equipment and Molly's remains.

In addition, they specially purchased a high-quality coffin for Molly's remains.

As for whether buying a coffin would arouse suspicion?

It's perfectly normal for a necromancer to buy coffins, isn't it? What's there to doubt?

If anyone asks, just say you bought it as a gift for your teacher.

"Teacher, it's getting late, let's go do our mission for the Corps."

Standing at the door, Nora, now wearing a bird-beak mask, said to Colin, who was also standing there, "Don't just sit around doing nothing. Help me properly modify those three lich demons and that shadow demon. You're only a little over a hundred years old; you're at the age where you should be making your mark. Don't let yourself be too idle."

Colin:

He decisively ignored the wicked disciple and looked at Louis, Dinah, and his good disciple, Merry.

After giving Merry some instructions, telling him to be careful, he turned to the other two on the field and said earnestly, "In the battle against the monsters, don't be reckless and aggressive. Know when to stop and prioritize your own safety."

Not long ago, they told Colin about the whereabouts of Molly's three secret manuals and Louis's second job change.

Information related to Louis's cheat codes was naturally not mentioned at all. This information was only circulated within the team, and even though Colin was an absolutely trustworthy person, it wouldn't be told to him.

Of course, the fact that Dina had become a half-hero could not be kept secret.

Colin was pleased that Louis's team had produced another hero, but he was more worried and repeatedly urged them to become stronger as soon as possible in order to cope with the major changes that might happen next.

You need to become stronger quickly, but you can't rush it.

The deeper meaning behind his instructions is that they must firmly preserve their identity as heroes and never reveal abilities they shouldn't have just to show off in front of others.

"Don't worry, Senior Colin, we understand."

Louis nodded solemnly before leading his team away.

Inside the No. 15 sewer outlet, Louis returned with his Mercury Shield, feeling as if he had stepped into another world.

Even though I've only been away for two days, it feels like an eternity has passed.

In just two days, Louis underwent a tremendous change in both his strength and mindset.

One of the things that impressed him most was the weight of the Mercury Shield.

Previously, this shield held some weight for him, after all, it was a weapon made of a special alloy and weighed over a thousand kilograms.

For someone who is only at level one, such a weight is quite manageable.

But now, the Mercury Shield felt like a piece of paper in his hands; in fact, its weight was about the same as a piece of paper of the same volume to Louis.

He could tear the Mercury Shield apart like cardboard if he wanted to, and a single punch could leave a deep dent in it.

Louis even had to pay close attention to how he held the shield, otherwise people would easily notice the relaxed feeling in his hands as if they were empty when he held the shield.

However, such disguise also has its advantages.

Imagine an enemy who goes through great lengths to finally break through Louis's shield, excitedly thinking he can take Louis's life, only to find that Louis's body is even harder than a mercury shield.

At that time, the enemy's expression will be quite interesting.

"I'll need to find a new weapon soon; I doubt any of Griffin's equipment will be suitable for me."

Louis thought to himself.

Shield Guard is just his official profession; his true skill has always been swordsmanship.

Especially after acquiring the "Molly Swordsmanship," a fine sword capable of withstanding more than forty points of force became his essential need.

Otherwise, when it comes to high-level matches, are you expecting him to carry this shield that looks like cardboard?

However, such a sword would certainly be very expensive to make, and the channels for purchasing it would be extremely limited.

Buy it with your own money?

Louis briefly considered the idea before dismissing it.

With only a little over forty gold in savings, it wasn't even enough to buy a decent set of equipment.

We still need to find a sucker.

Louis thought of Alwyn.

This guy is pretty rich. He promised to spend a thousand gold coins to buy the Sun Knight's Codex for Daina, so it's not unreasonable to try to scam him out of money to buy equipment.

But how to scam them requires careful planning.

With these thoughts in mind, Louis looked at the catgirl captain guarding the area and said, "Go and call Young Chief Tiga here."

Upon hearing this, the catgirl captain bit her lip indignantly, revealing a pair of sharp little fangs.

That guy named Louis is so wicked.

Even though his team didn't call the young chieftain Tiga the night he was away, they did so as soon as he returned. They must have designs on the young chieftain Tiga.

But military orders are absolute, and the catgirl captain had no choice but to call Tiga over.

"Mr. Louis, is there another mission that offers me the opportunity to distinguish myself?"

After Tiga arrived, she asked with a hint of anticipation.

Louis shook his head and laughed, "I don't think we'll fight tonight. There probably aren't many monsters that will invade the sewers."

The white tiger beastman looked puzzled.

Louis didn't keep them in suspense and explained, "This afternoon, when I visited a senior, I met Ms. Oriana, a Level 4 professional who came all the way from the capital."

"She will annihilate the entire command structure of the demonic tide tonight. Perhaps after tonight, the demonic tide will completely recede. Let's just stand here and watch the battle."

Tija nodded in realization, a hint of longing appearing in her eyes.

"Level 4 Professional -"

Clearly, this orc girl has a strong desire for power.

A Level 4 professional symbolizes the strongest power in the mortal realm, which she naturally yearns for.

"I will watch the game seriously."

The white tiger beastman said solemnly.

Louis: "There's no need to be so formal—"

As the two were talking, the catgirl captain suddenly interrupted.

"Speaking of which, isn't the demon race's attack a bit late today? Usually, that woman in black armor would have already come to kill us by this time."
