Afterwards, Crystal obtained the highest degree and was transferred to a lower-level academy to teach, while Nakamura left the academy and began to act as a hero.

From then on, she was officially free from Nakamura.

"I see, that hero is indeed a pervert."

"Like you're a normal person."

Lucy looked at Xiao with a smirk on her face and complained with a hint of contempt.

"After the hero achieved the title of Chief, he came to the academy again, but Crystal had already returned home. He seemed to have had a big argument with Hildreth at the time."

Lucas added with a smile.

"That Hildreth girl always likes to meddle in other people's affairs."

"Could it be that, Crystal, you and Hillilite have a good relationship?"

Xiao looked at the complaining Crystal in some surprise.

"That's not good. Who would want to be on good terms with that troublesome guy?"

"Pfft. Crystal sister is being tsundere in a strange place."

"Hey, Rose, what did you suddenly say?!"

"Fortunately, Sister Crystal is not too arrogant towards Brother Xiao, otherwise Sister would be in trouble."

Rose ignored Crystal's complaints, put her fingers on the corner of her mouth and tilted her head and said.

"Why, why are you suddenly bringing me up?"

Lucy put down her teacup in a panic and put her hands on Rose's shoulders.

"Well, the surveillance of that perverted hero is over. Mr. Lucas, can you get down to business?"

Xiao watched Rose bullying the two of them, smiled, and prepared to get down to business.

"As expected of Sister Crystal's fiancé, how did you know about him, Brother Xiao?"

"certainly…"

"This guy has the ability to read minds."

Seeing Xiao about to talk nonsense, Crystal interrupted him without mercy.

"Mind reading, if it becomes hostile to Brother Xiao, it will be a troublesome matter."

"Oh, you don't know how much trouble I suffered when negotiating with this guy."

Recalling the various setbacks she had experienced in her previous negotiations with Akatsuki, Crystal sighed helplessly.

"Hehe, but Sister Crystal seems very happy now."

"Lucas, it seems like even without seeing you, you're still as naughty as before."

"Sister Crystal, I was wrong. Let's get down to business, okay? Hey!"

Looking at Crystal's eyes, Lucas screamed.

"Kristo, why don't you deal with him after we finish discussing the important matters?"

"Now that you say so."

Seeing Xiao trying to stop her, Crystal had to give up for the time being.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao."

Seeing Lucas and Xiao close to each other, Crystal's eyes turned cold again.

"Cough cough."

Rose motioned for Lucas to get started.

"This story started a few months ago."

Lucas began to explain very seriously.

A few months ago, the brave warrior Nakamura came to Warhol Territory with his companions.

At first, Lucas's father was quite surprised by this matter because there was no information about any dangerous monsters appearing in Warhol Territory.

And they also didn't think that the only large maze in the territory, the Pure White Maze, could attract this brave man.

However, since the other party was a brave man, Lucas's father did not deliberately ask about the other party's purpose, but just warmly entertained the group.

"A week after the hero arrived here, the Pure White Labyrinth collapsed."

"What? Why haven't I heard anything?

Crystal was very surprised.

Although the resource output of the Pure White Labyrinth is not as high as that of the Dungeon, it is also the largest labyrinth in the empire.

Even in a border town like Macaulay, she shouldn't be without hearing any news.

"This matter was forcibly suppressed by the hero, and now the Pure White Labyrinth has been sealed off."

"What does your father think about this?"

"Father...is seriously ill in bed. My brother has taken over all the household affairs."

Lucas answered very disappointedly.

"Is that so... I'm so sorry."

"It's nothing. It's just that after the maze collapsed, abnormalities occurred in the area near the maze."

"The climate is getting hotter, and the number of monsters is increasing rapidly."

Xiao said thoughtfully.

"Well, the affected area is expanding. Now it's almost covering the entire Warhol Territory. But my brother turned a blind eye to it and instead obeyed the hero's orders."

"Do you suspect what happened with Warhol has anything to do with that guy named Nakamura?"

"I…"

"Xiao, it's really insane for you to ask like that!"

Crystal glanced at Xiao with some dissatisfaction.

The heroes of the empire are jointly summoned by the imperial family and the church, and entrusted to the imperial family for management.

Although they do not have any real power, the heroes have great influence in politics and religion.

Randomly questioning the hero may even lead to punishment by the church for false accusation.

Especially someone who is extremely high in the rankings like Nakamura.

It was also for this reason that Count Warhol could not easily object to Nakamura's request.

"Feel sorry."

"I should be the one apologizing. I suspect the current unusual situation in Warhol Territory is related to the Hero and his entourage. So I hope Mr. Akatsuki and you can help me investigate this matter."

Lucas looked very sad and begged in an extremely sweet voice.

[Hasn't this guy's voice changed yet?!]

Chapter 50 The bathhouse cannot be used normally

As expected, I can’t give you an immediate answer.”

"Well, it doesn't matter. After all, this matter really has nothing to do with you."

Lucas smiled sadly.

"We've arrived at Pierre, so let's say goodbye here."

Xiao watched the carriage pass through the city gate and prepared to say goodbye to Lucas.

"You can also stay in Warhol's house."

"Thank you for your kindness, but it would be troublesome if it aroused unnecessary suspicion."

"Eh?"

"Xiao, you have a better way to express yourself, right?"

Crystal looked at Lucas, feeling a little disappointed, and complained to Xiao unhappily.

"Sorry, sorry."

Xiao helped Crystal out of the carriage without showing any apology.

"Then let's part ways now."

"Well, I hope Brother Xiao can consider my commission carefully."

"I understand. Goodbye then."

After a simple goodbye, Xiao took Lucy and the others out of the city gate.

Seeing that they still had some time, they toured Pierre until dusk before heading to the hotel.

"Isn't this the most upscale hotel in Warhol County? How did someone like that get in there?"

Lucy complained to Xiao in a low voice.

As soon as we entered the hotel, we saw a few scoundrels dressed in shabby clothes drinking and having fun in the lounge area of ​​the lobby, making very unpleasant noises.

The looks they gave Lucy and the others were extremely obscene, which made the girls feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's really strange."

"welcome."

The receptionist greeted Xiao and the others very politely.

"There are four of us. Please book two double rooms."

"Okay. Please register for a seat here."

The poster girl took out a very exquisite list.

Xiao tried to ignore Rose and Crystal who were playing rock-paper-scissors behind her and started filling out the roster.

“Is this all right?”

Xiao handed the list and the savings card containing the gold coins to the poster girl.

"Well, here's the key to your room."

"Thank you."

"By the way, there's one thing I want to remind you of. It's best not to use the bathhouse right now."

The poster girl warned Akatsuki and the others in a low voice.

"Eh? Why."

Lucy looked at the poster girl with great dissatisfaction.

"I'm very sorry, but this is for your safety."

The poster girl didn't explain directly, but glanced meaningfully at the thugs in the rest area.

"This is troublesome."

“We also have superior suites with private bathrooms, but the price…”

The poster girl mentioned it casually.

"Then help us change to that room."

"Eh? But the price is really high."

"Is it okay? Or is it inconvenient to change rooms?"

"No, no. Please wait a moment."

The poster girl was a little flustered, as if she had mistaken Xiao for some important person.

"Xiao, is it really okay for you to be so wasteful?"

Crystal asked quietly beside Akatsuki.
