Chapter 113 Liliana, try to defeat the low-level demon king alone! (1)
"It's getting late today, why don't we go back first."
After putting away the contract, Sheryl suggested.
"Hey~ But I haven't had enough fun yet."
"Mr. Roderick, if you are too drunk, you won't be able to do what's next. Don't you have something else you want to ask these lovely ladies for?"
"Ah, that's right, let's go today. Do you want to come together? We'll find a new place to continue the party."
Roderick seemed embarrassed to say it directly and invited him in a very awkward way.
The maids who served the wine were also somewhat drunk, or perhaps they were feeling hot because of Cheryl's medicine, and they all accepted Roderick's invitation with red faces.
A group of people left the bar in a happy mood.
Before parting, Cheryl stuffed a large bag of gold coins into the maid who seemed to have the most seniority, and asked her to take Roderick and others to the best hotel in Night Street for the night, and then left Night Street.
After returning to the dormitory, she immediately removed her disguise and washed her body in the shower.
After hesitating for a moment, Sheryl decided to take a bath.
(If there really is a hell after death, I will definitely go to hell.)
Staring at the ceiling, she muttered to herself.
No one responded to the question, only the sound of dripping water echoed in the bathroom.
Roderick is a scumbag, a selfish scumbag who is not even funny.
But like today, deliberately pushing him to death bit by bit, still made Cheryl feel a strong sense of guilt and self-loathing.
"Even if that's the case, I will still choose this path... Although I really hate that bitch Marina, I am also a terrible bad woman..."
Sheryl couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"Chichi~Chichi?"
At this time, the little fox Jasmine, who had been in the room, slipped into the bathroom.
"Why, Jasmine, you want to take a bath with me too~ Come on, come in."
Cheryl reached out and carried Jasmine into the bathtub as well.
Because she was really tired today, she didn't rinse Jasmine's body, but let her stay with her and soak in the hot water for a while.
"Oh by the way, Jasmine, do I smell weird right now?"
"Jiji?"
Jasmine didn't understand what Sheryl meant and tilted her head in confusion.
"I mean, do I have any strange smell on my body right now, like, like a woman's body odor or something like that?"
"Chichi, chichi?"
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
Liliana explores the maze-like fissure world.
Today's exploration was very fruitful. In just a few hours, she defeated hundreds of monsters.
Among them are goblin champions, orc generals, black and brown hunting wolves, etc., who are powerful enemies that even regular knights find difficult to defeat alone.
Lei Longan also successfully advanced from level two to level three.
Liliana knew that all this was thanks to Michelle's guidance.
In these short five days, her martial arts and combat skills did not make any substantial progress.
An's class upgrade was not enough for Liliana to deal with these enemies easily.
Michelle would give a concise review of Liliana's shortcomings after every battle.
She taught Liliana to streamline her movements, or to think flexibly about tactics and coping strategies in critical situations.
This benefited Liliana a lot.
Thanks to this, Liliana was able to better utilize her inherent strength and fight these difficult monsters.
"Let's go back today. An, you must be a little tired, right?"
After taking a sip of water, Liliana handed the water bag to An who was also sitting next to her.
An stretched out his little dragon claws, grasped the water bag with both claws, and drank all the salt water inside.
“Roar~Roar!”
She imitated Michelle and made a refreshing cry like an old man after drinking a swig of beer.
"You've learned bad things from your instructor."
"Hoo~Hoo?"
An tilted his head in confusion, not understanding Liliana's joke.
[What do you mean by learning bad things from me? Lily, that's really too much. ]
"It's because you always drink ice milk after taking a shower, which is really rude. Let's not talk about that. Is there anything wrong with the battle I just fought?"
[At least in my opinion, you are already very good~ Congratulations, Lily, you have grown so much in such a short time. It seems that the bloodline of the Christiana family is not to be underestimated. ]
Michelle praised.
"That is to say... there are still some serious shortcomings..."
Liliana felt a little lost instead.
Michelle always likes to play the tactic of first praising and then criticizing, so she knows that she must not have done well enough.
[Pfft~ Lily, you lack confidence a little too much. 】
"Isn't this just your fault, Master? Every time you praise me, you point out my shortcomings harshly."
Liliana couldn't help but complain.
[Isn't it because I'm afraid of your pride? However, Lily, there is indeed a serious problem with your battle so far. No, perhaps it should be more appropriate to say that it is a loophole. ]
"Loophole?"
Because the words Michelle used were somewhat intriguing, Liliana couldn't help but tilt her head and ask.
[Well, I was too obsessed with confronting my opponent head-on, or should I say, too obsessed with the spirit of chivalry.]
"Hey, but, but I..."
[No matter what you think, Lily, the enemies you may encounter in the future are monsters, thieves, or guys who like to use despicable means. It is impossible for all enemies to give you the opportunity to fight fairly and justly like in a competition or duel between knights.]
Michelle said.
[In the future, if you plan to continue fighting as a knight, one day you will definitely encounter an opponent that you have absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, but that you have no choice but to defeat.
If you don't defeat the other party, Aljun and Little Rose might die. Of course, you yourself will die too. If you encounter such a situation, do you still plan to confront the other party head-on? 】
"This... this, I definitely won't do this..."
Liliana replied hesitantly.
[Lily, you are surprisingly tactful, unlike Violet, the wooden-headed one.]
"Pfft, even if you are my mentor, it's a bit too much to say that my sister is stupid."
Liliana chuckled.
Even from her perspective as a younger sister, Violet was indeed overly straightforward in many subtle ways.
