Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

"Vivian can't handle it alone, so she sent someone here to ask for support. I'm going there myself to wipe out those monsters in one fell swoop. As for the two of you... one of you can come, and the other will stay at the church to guard it."

Sure enough, the work came.

Lor thought that every time the wise voice in his head spoke something, it would come true in a completely opposite way.

The guy said that I could have a leisurely day today, but then a mission would come to me.

In addition, that guy also gave a hint in advance about the result of Vivian's investigation of the water ghost... This time it is indeed not a water monkey, but a whole nest of monsters!

"I'll stay behind." Stanley suddenly said, "Lor has just been promoted to the second level and needs more practical experience."

"Well, that's fine too."

Captain Ronin nodded, but her expression still showed some worry:

"Well, Stanley...if someone comes to the church to report a crime, try to be gentle when you're meeting them, and don't scare them..."

"I understand, Captain."

Stanley's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a business-like smile.

The problem is that his eyes are still so cold and serious, and coupled with his scary figure and big bald head, he looks even more scary.

It’s better not to laugh.

"You... never mind. Just do it your way." Captain Rhonina seemed to have given up. "Then without further ado, Lor, let's set off now."

"Okay, Captain!"

Lor stood up quickly.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should find an excuse to sneak back home and take the "scarecrow" he got last night with him.

But in the end, they gave up. After all, as the captain had just said, the monsters this time were not very powerful, they just existed in large numbers.

This precious life-saving item should be saved for more critical and dangerous situations... Otherwise, it would be a shame for the 1,800 gold coins I spent on it!

Besides, isn’t there the reliable Captain Roninna?

Come to think of it, this is my first actual combat experience since I was promoted to the second level...

I'm feeling a little bit excited.

38. There are many hidden talents in our team

Captain Ronina walked quickly, followed closely by Lor.

According to the information sent by Vivian, the monster's lair is located deep underground and can be found by walking about half an hour into a sewer connected to the river.

At this moment, she was guarding the entrance to the sewer, waiting for support to arrive.

"Although what she encountered this time was not a water monkey but a real monster, she still couldn't escape the fate of going into the sewer." Lor thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Vivian.

But then he realized that he and the captain would soon be dragged into the water.

Fortunately, I was wearing an old piece of clothing today, so it wouldn’t be a pity to throw it away.

In general, although today's mission is to clear out monsters, Lor's mentality is still quite relaxed.

After all, at this point he has seen a lot of big things. A few low-level monsters living in the sewers are not comparable to the "Vampire Lucinda" and the like.

What's more, I have a terrifying young lady, a giant dragon, and a fourth-level wanted criminal at home...

If you think about it carefully, it's just like a devil's cave.

It's much more dangerous than a monster nest in the sewer.

"Captain, I have something I want to ask you." As they walked, Lor suddenly spoke up. "I'm not familiar with this city yet, so I wanted to ask if there are any places suitable for taking children to play?"

"A place suitable for taking children to play?" Captain Ronina was stunned for a moment. "Are you already planning something like this? Shouldn't you prepare for the wedding first? Come to think of it, Ms. Helen seemed to have told me yesterday that you seemed a little afraid of 'getting married'..."

Lor was choked and quickly explained:

"Ah, Captain, that's not what I meant!

"Here's what happened... A few days ago, Isabella's parents came to visit her, bringing along her five-year-old sister. They've gone home now, but the little sister is very attached to Isabella and refuses to leave. She insists on staying with us for a while... Luckily, we just moved into a new house, so we can accommodate her."

Lor thought that it was impossible to keep Meimei's existence a secret from his colleagues in the church.

This is a good opportunity to mention it to the captain and give her a reasonable identity.

The way gossip spreads in our church, all my colleagues will know about this in a few days... After that, even if I see Isabella shopping with her child, I won't find it strange.

"I see." The captain nodded in understanding. "But to be honest, I've never taken care of a child, so I'm not really sure... You can ask Stanley when we get back."

"Senior Stanley?" Lor raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Well, he has three children."

"Senior Stanley? Child?" Lor's brain froze for a moment, unable to connect the two words together. "Wait, he's married?"

Captain Ronina looked at Lor with a strange expression:

"Yes, what's so surprising about that? Stanley is a capable, reliable, and good family man, very popular with girls. His wife is the daughter of a wealthy local businessman. She is gentle, beautiful, and virtuous. The couple loves each other very much, and their three children are each more adorable than the other."

Lor opened his mouth wide and finally understood what the captain said.

But I still couldn’t imagine what Stanley’s children would look like… The image that popped up in my mind was three small, bald-headed giants sitting in a row.

All I can say is, don’t judge a book by its cover.

Also, there are indeed hidden talents in our team.

……

Vivian stood vigilantly near the sewer entrance.

Her red hair is still so eye-catching.

"Captain, Lor, you are finally here."

The arrival of her colleague obviously made her feel relieved:

"If you walk a bit further in from this drain, you'll find a gap that seems to connect to an underground cave... I didn't go too deep, so I'm not sure what kind of monsters there are, but judging by the reaction of the cross, there are about ten in total, all of them at level one or level two."

"Well, hard work."

Captain Rhonina nodded and tried to hold her breath.

Although the group was now standing next to the sewer entrance, the terrible smell that hit them was mainly coming from Vivian.

Just like her previous trip to the sewer, she was still covered in dirt this time, her leather boots were almost unrecognizable in their original color, and she exuded a foul stench.

"If I were you, I would apply for work injury," Lor commented without hesitation, covering his nose and mouth.

"Work injury? But I'm not injured?" Vivian, who was honest by nature, didn't understand what he meant.

"I mean the mental damage."

"You mean, spells that damage the mind?" Vivian still didn't understand. "I haven't figured out the specific types of monsters, but my initial assessment is that there aren't any vengeful spirits, demons, or anything like that that specializes in mental attacks..."

"Oh, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Lor shook his head.

...I'm sorry, my vision is too narrow.

After all, you have a mine at home, so you don't have to be like me or other colleagues, who are always thinking about taking advantage of the church.

"Alright, stop chatting here and let's go in first." Captain Luo interrupted Lor's chatter and said seriously, "But before that, you need to put on some protection... Well, I happen to have a few 'cleansing' spells from the Mystic Association. They can prevent your clothes from getting dirty for a while."

As he spoke, he took out two talismans and used them on himself and Lor respectively.

"As for Vivian..."

"I don't need that, Captain." Vivian looked down at herself who was no longer clean and said with resentment.

At the same time, she thought to herself, there is such a convenient and good thing.

If I had known this, I should have prepared a few sheets in advance to avoid having to go down the sewer again next time... Also, if I use one sheet every day, I won't have to do laundry anymore, and the time I save can be invested in work and study...

"Hmm, I don't know if Fan En can do it. I'll ask him next time I go to get the goods." Vivian muttered softly, "If he can't do it, I'll ask him to introduce me to another mystic... With such a large mystic association, there must be someone who can do it, right?"

"Well, that's a good idea. Stock up! As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared!"

Lor encouraged from the side.

It looks like Vann is about to get another big order...and according to the rules, as the "introducer", I can also get a commission from it.

Vivian spends money without blinking an eye.

I say again, there are really many hidden talents in our team!

"I'm telling you two, be serious. Even if the enemy is just a low-level monster, you can't let your guard down. Underestimating the enemy is a big taboo!" Captain Roninna reminded in a stern tone.

At this moment, she has completely entered the working state, and her whole body exudes a strong sense of oppression that is unique to a strong woman in the workplace.

"Okay, Captain!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Lor and Vivian quickly stood up straight and answered with great energy.

39. Just surfing for too long

Captain Rhonina's "cleansing" spell was indeed effective.

After trudging through the mud in the sewer for a long time, Lor's leather boots were still as shiny as new.

This inevitably led him to have the same idea as Vivian, and he was thinking that if he prepared a few of them for the young lady, he wouldn't have to wash her underwear in the future.

Although there is now Roland, a "live-in servant" at home, it is still not convenient to hand over underwear to him. No matter whether it is Isabella's or his own, Lor still has to do it himself in the end... Oh, no, there is now another child in the family, and there is one more set of clothes to be washed by hand.

But then I thought about it.

If your underwear can't even get a speck of dirt on it, what's the point of wearing it?

Well, I'm a little confused.

While he was daydreaming, Lor did not lose his vigilance and was busy adding buffs to himself along the way.

However, in order to avoid exposing the fact that his spiritual power was too strong, he controlled the thickness of the armor and did not put on too many layers.

After blessing himself, he began to bless Vivian, who specialized in attack and was not good at defense... As for Captain Rhonina, who was at the third level of strength, Lor didn't need to worry about her.

The captain is good at healing, and it is said that the first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to bless herself with the blessings of "quick recovery" and "immunity to disease".

This is true even when there is nothing to do and I just need to sit in the office.

This keeps her energetic every day, and she has never had to take time off due to injury or a cold.

There is no blind spot.

"To be honest, your two abilities complement each other quite well," Captain Luo Nina said thoughtfully. "Furthermore, your strengths are roughly equal, and you've developed a certain tacit understanding between you. You could make a good pair... Hmm, it seems I could arrange for you to go on more missions together in the future."

"As you say, Captain." Vivian had no objection.

Lor also thought this arrangement was reasonable.

only……

I guess Isabella will transform into the annoying green tea spirit more frequently in the future.

Just then, the group discovered a noticeable gap in the wall of the sewer drain. The bricks and stones were broken outwards, as if some creature had smashed it open from the inside out.

"This is it." Vivian, the guide, paused and said, "I tracked the water ghost all the way here last night, but he panicked and escaped through this gap. I went in to take a quick look, but after noticing a large number of monsters inside, I didn't go any further."

"Well, that's a correct judgment." Captain Ronina praised.

At the same time, Lor frowned slightly.

He could clearly feel the cold wind blowing out from the gap.

"It looks like there's quite a lot of space in here," he judged.

"Not surprising." The captain narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dark space within the gap. "From Gordon to Palmer, deep underground in this main area, there are many naturally formed underground caves. They are intricate and complex, like a maze."

"In other words, this cave might lead all the way to Palmer City?" Vivian asked curiously.

"It's possible, but no one in their right mind would try it."

Captain Roninna shook her head seriously:

"The underground is very dangerous. Not only is the terrain complex, but it's also home to many monsters. Some areas are filled with deadly poisonous gases. Not to mention some... uh, 'forbidden places' that even extraordinary people shouldn't approach casually."

Having said that, Captain Roninna paused slightly and did not elaborate... which made people curious.
