Their commission was suspicious.

“Of course I know. But who is this…” The director looked at the silver-haired girl who had quietly appeared next to Chen Luo.

She was the one who said those words just now.

"Uh, codename Si Ming, my partner."

"I'm so envious. We're both support ability users, but my partner is a big man, while your partner is a beautiful girl," the director said with some envy.

"Since you brought a reward, come in." Bai Zhi said, crouching down and squeezing through Chen Luo's arm that was propping up the doorway into the room.

Treating the warden was not difficult; Chen Luo healed the warden's injuries in just over ten minutes.

Then Bai Zhi personally saw them all off, acting quite like a hostess.

Then... Chen Luo grabbed Bai Zhi by the back of her collar and threw her out as well.

Seeing Bai Zhi blocking her own doorway, looking somewhat resentful because she had been thrown out of her house, Chen Luo could only use the group network to call Xiao Ke'er to drag her away.

"Chen Luo, you ungrateful scumbag!" But Chen Luo could still hear Bai Zhi's voice.

"Chen Luo, you ungrateful scumbag!" The same voice rang out behind Chen Luo.

The one who knew the law, holding a wood-chopping knife, appeared behind Chen Luo without anyone noticing.

"!!!" Chen Luo's heart stopped.

"I only knew you had a partner, but you didn't tell me you two were so close. Tell me, what's that little vixen's identity?!" The Herrscher of Knowledge said, holding a wood-chopping knife.

"Waaah?" The little fox seemed to hear someone calling it.

"I'm talking about a fox spirit, not a little fox! Don't interrupt!" the Herrscher of Knowledge said irritably.

One master and one pet, both are infuriating!

Chapter 771 The Thirteen Protectors of the Bar

"Oh, childhood sweethearts, right?" The Herrscher of Knowledge draped her legs over Chen Luo's thighs, enjoying the massage while tapping the handle of the wood-chopping knife with one finger.

"No, this doesn't count as childhood sweethearts. Childhood sweethearts are those you've known since you were little. Bai Zhi, whom I met about two years ago, doesn't qualify as a childhood sweetheart," Chen Luo said while massaging the smooth, fair thighs of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"That's a hero saving a damsel in distress, you can't deny that, can you?" The Herrscher of Knowledge's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"This is truly a classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story. Two years ago, you saved her, and two years later, she has grown into an S-class talent user, making a powerful comeback to marry her delicate white moonlight. But then she discovers that he has also become an S-class talent user, so she temporarily suppresses her own brilliance to silently accompany and protect her white moonlight. Is that how it is?"

"Please, can you stop reading those romance novels when you have nothing better to do?" Chen Luo said, somewhat annoyed.

Do you think it's some kind of domineering CEO falling in love with me?

And normally, aren't CEOs usually male and secretaries female?

"Hmm. It's hard to say..."

It's hard to say.

The Herald of Knowledge always felt that the blank sheet of paper he was holding looked like a template for the female protagonist.

First, the other party has a relatively good family background; second, they have had an extremely difficult experience, although it only happened once.

Then, during that extremely difficult experience, she formed an indissoluble bond with Chen Luo, and they even had a token of their love—a pink bicycle.

"What love token? Don't talk nonsense, okay? I've only ridden that bike twice." Chen Luo slapped the bubbles rising above the Herrscher of Knowledge's head, shattering them.

As a Herald of Knowledge, creating a small bubble containing your inner monologue that others can see should be quite simple, right?

From Chen Luo's perspective, this was undoubtedly a condemnation of him.

It's fair to say that having little bubbles appear on your head is an awkward yet polite way to do things.

"That's very impolite, okay? Who in their right mind would have bubbles popping up on their head?" Chen Luo knocked away the bubbles that had appeared on the Herrscher of Knowledge's head again.

"Just say what you mean, okay? Don't try to remind me in this weird way."

Do we really need to remind each other in such a strange way given our relationship?

"Didn't you also have bubbles coming out of your head? And you're criticizing me." The Herald of Knowledge said defiantly.

"Alright, alright, that's enough playing around. Now, what else do you want to ask?" Chen Luo asked.

"I was thinking, didn't you say he's both the Angel of Death and the God of Fate? So here's the question, can Bai Zhi's Angel of Death abilities tell that you've died once, oh no, twice, at least twice?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked.

"It's actually not so bad... because she can't reveal her abilities as the Angel of Death, so even if she sees that I've died before, she can't ask me directly, but can only probe indirectly. At the same time, after she became my partner, she naturally learned about my ability to bring people back to life. So, with both of us keeping our abilities a secret, the misunderstanding arose."

"Now I understand why the divination told me to get my talent certified by the relevant authorities as soon as possible. First, it would reduce the possibility that I was the River God. Second, it would give me an identity. Third, it would prevent my identity from being exposed further."

“Of course, it’s also possible that she simply can’t tell,” Chen Luo said.

"So what are you going to do with her?"

"This really can't be rushed. To deal with this matter, we first need to wait until Yvette has time to come to the bar for a discussion before we can make a decision."

"First, I need to figure out why she returned to Xinghai City. This opportunity is too coincidental."

"Furthermore, we need to see what her attitude towards the church is. Is she merely relying on her S-class angel talent to obtain more resources, or is she truly loyal to the church?"

"Finally, I'll have to see how she treats me."

"Hmm?" The Herrscher of Knowledge's tone instantly rose.

"Ahem, what I mean is, if this person is compatible, of course we'll sign a contract and then bring them into the bar. I usually lend a hand to friends I can help."

"We need to sign a contract..."

“Of course, even Xiao Yuan and Wen Xuan have signed contracts… I suddenly remembered something, and I discovered that there’s one person who slipped through the net and hasn’t signed anything like a confidentiality agreement yet?” Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Who? I'll bring her here for you!" The Herrscher of Knowledge rolled up his sleeves.

Chen Luo quietly looked at the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

"Uh, you mean me?"

"What do you say?"

"No way, you wouldn't be so heartless as to try and force me into signing a contract, would you?" The Herrscher of Knowledge clutched her chest, as if looking at a hungry wolf.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. Instead of putting on an act here, you should let your restless little feet shut up. They're about to kick my face." Chen Luo said after pressing the legs of the Herrscher of Knowledge lying on the sofa onto his own.

"Okay!" Upon hearing Chen Luo mention this special treatment reserved for the Herrscher of Knowledge, the Herrscher of Knowledge immediately became obedient and seemed to be in a much better mood.

After giving the Herrscher of Knowledge a massage, which brought him considerable physical and mental pleasure, Chen Luo got up and went straight to the bar.

Chen Luo has spent enough time in this main world. He needs to keep an eye on the Honkai world and hope nothing goes wrong.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Jill appeared beside Chen Luo and looked in the direction Chen Luo was looking.

Then... I think I saw the bed baseboard.

"Huh?" Jill looked at the view outside Door 2, which was almost blocking the bar door, with some confusion.

If you don't look closely, and you tell someone that Gate 2 is closed, they might not care.

For example, that drunkard who passed by.

"Old man, stop drinking your tea and have a glass of wine instead."

“Well, rationally speaking, it’s true that we should change things up occasionally,” Zhongli’s voice came through.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I was just opening a door to the bar so I could use my telepathic abilities to observe things. That's why I opened the bar door under the bed," Chen Luo said, waving his hand dismissively.

The main reason is that the bar's door is so big that it attracts attention no matter where it's located, while it wouldn't be as noticeable if it were located under the bed.

"You've used the teleportation abilities of the clairvoyance and the bar like this..." Jill hesitated, then stopped herself.

"What's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?" Chen Luo turned his head and glanced at Jill.

"Hey, Master, why did you close one eye? And why are you covering it with your hair?"

"Because the eye covered by my hair is using clairvoyance. If it were a God's-eye view, one eye would be enough. Besides, I can't keep looking at clairvoyance all the time and not see the scene around the bar," Chen Luo explained.

Chen Luo's bangs weren't originally very long, but the reason they grew long enough to cover his other eye was entirely due to the hair growth technique he had acquired.

At the time, they were searching for Elena's hair. After finding Elena's hair, they rewarded Chen Luo with a hair regrowth technique.

It almost made Chen Luo lose his composure.

"You've been watching this?" Jill asked in surprise.

"More or less, it's been several hours. After all, this matter is quite important," Chen Luo said.

"How can you stand it? Using the clairvoyant ability all the time must consume a lot of magic power, right?"

"The Thousand-Mile Eyes I acquired doesn't consume much energy, but using it continuously does make my eyes a bit sore," Chen Luo said, rubbing his eyes.

"Then just let Merlin take your place. Anyway, Merlin doesn't have anything to do and is probably discussing something with Yakumo Yukari," Gilles said, tattlering.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

"Merlin, come here!" Chen Luo shouted at Merlin.

"Yesterday, while I was suffering, you were just standing by and watching the show. Do you even have a heart?!" Chen Luo accused.

"Seriously? You're only bringing up what happened yesterday now? Even delayed spellcasting isn't this delayed." Merlin walked over and sat down next to Chen Luo without a care in the world.

Anyway, nightmares can't be killed.

Besides, it's not a crime to commit the crime of simply being a bystander.

"I can't take it anymore, can you keep an eye on me? My eyes hurt." Chen Luo reopened the eye that had been closed, and then rubbed it painfully.

Using telescopes all the time is really very troublesome.

"what?"

"Just use your clairvoyance to keep an eye on a certain place for me, and see if anything goes wrong," Chen Luo said.

"Huh? Using clairvoyance in another world is quite troublesome."

"It's alright, it's the previous civilization. You've been to the previous civilization before, haven't you? Although it was somewhat diminished, it seems to be doing alright," Chen Luo said.

Merlin had boasted to Chen Luo that his clairvoyance hadn't been significantly reduced, something Chen Luo remembered very clearly.

"But I don't know what will happen in the future of the previous civilization, how can I know if anything important has happened?" Merlin felt that Chen Luo was asking too much of a question.

But Merlin shut up after Chen Luo took out an antenna.

"I won't do it!" Upon seeing the antenna, Merlin suddenly recalled unpleasant memories.

I remember standing foolishly next to the TV, holding an antenna and trying to find a signal.

“No discussion. Who told you to be a bystander while I was suffering yesterday? And you only have one hour. Let me rest for a bit, then I can continue using my clairvoyance,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo used his telescope from around noon until after 8 o'clock today. During the more than 8 hours, he did not take a break for more than an hour.

"Just kidding. A real man doesn't do things he doesn't want to do."

"Then don't blame me for using a Command Seal." Chen Luo took out a silver Command Seal from his backpack and stuck it on his forearm.

After the Holy Grail War ended, Chen Luo stripped off all the Command Seals and threw them into his backpack, ready to use them whenever needed.

“Chen Luo, you’ve probably forgotten, I’m no longer your servant. He is.” Chen Luo pointed to Gilles, who was standing to the side watching the show.

"Heh. Let me show you the correct way to use Command Seals." Chen Luo narrowed his eyes.

"Hmm?" Merlin tensed up instantly.

"By Command Spell, Artoria, put the sword to Merlin's neck and let Merlin broadcast live via the antenna!" Chen Luo instantly used the Command Spell in his hand.

"???" Merlin stared wide-eyed at Chen Luo in disbelief.

This is allowed?

What a clever roundabout way to achieve our goal!

Just as Merlin was lost in thought, footsteps approached, and the newcomer made a sound that sounded like reluctance.

Immediately afterward, Merlin saw Artoria reluctantly walking towards him, holding a chicken leg in one hand and carrying the Sword of Excalibur.

The moment Merlin saw Artoria, he moved with lightning speed, rushing straight towards the door of Bar Number One.

Merlin couldn't open Door 1 no matter what he tried; the only door that opened was the door to Bar 2, but the exit of Bar 2 was under Chen Luo's bed in the previous civilization...

"Merlin, just give in. I'll pay for everything today," Chen Luo said earnestly, while Artoria stood behind him, acting as his bodyguard.

Artoria is really easy to bribe; all it takes is a chicken leg.

Well, sometimes it might be two.
