Chapter 102 Aftermath
The impact of this monster siege was far-reaching.

The lord of Rozelowe, Qiao Lin, was killed on the spot, and many adventurers and soldiers also died. The losses were huge.

This caused quite a stir in the Kendenia Empire, and the Emperor personally ordered to provide relief to the residents of Roserowe, sent people to investigate the reasons for the monsters' siege, and rewarded the adventurers who were active this time.

Large quantities of supplies were transported from the imperial capital to Roselowe, and the new city lord also arrived.

When the new city lord arrived, he first went to the cemetery to pay his respects to the dead, and then distributed the large amount of supplies he brought with him. Every household received sufficient compensation, and the smiles that had disappeared for a long time finally returned to people's faces once again.

The Adventurer's Guild has also become much more lively, and many adventurers have been promoted to higher ranks. Although the adventurers who are hovering between life and death on a daily basis are sad about the departure of their companions, they still have to face new challenges in order to continue living.

For a while, the Adventurer's Guild was extremely busy. Many tasks were issued, and hundreds of applications for teammates needed to be reviewed. There was also a long queue in front of Leticia's window.

...

Finwen Village was not affected by the monster siege, and the villagers didn't even know that such a terrible war had recently taken place on the other side of the Slodar Forest.

After a busy day, the old village chief Kodeya had a simple dinner alone, lit a cigarette, and sat at the door of his house to enjoy the cool air. Since little Irene left, the house has become much quieter, and he is still not used to it even after many days.

Thinking of his granddaughter, a smile appeared on Codya's face, but he didn't know when he would see her next.

"Eh" he sighed deeply and began to be dazed.

Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the village, which seemed to be the sound of a carriage.

Why would a carriage come to Fenwen Village at this time? Codya felt a little strange. He put away his cigarette and walked towards the village gate.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" A familiar shout came from afar.

Why did he seem to hear little Irene's voice? Codya laughed at himself, saying that he was getting older and older and was even hallucinating.

Just as he reached the village gate, Codeya was stunned. A large group of villagers had gathered there, discussing something.

"Village chief, it's Corivo who's back!" an older villager said to Codya.

"What?" Codya was shocked and quickened his pace.

Codya finally saw the familiar figure. His face was no longer as immature as it was in the past, but much more resolute. His body was still as straight as before, and he looked very real in the mighty armor he was wearing. The golden epaulette on his left shoulder was shining.

"I am back."

Codya opened his mouth but no sound came out, but his eyes were hazy.

Drayton, Ferro and Foley stood beside Qiao Lin's tombstone in silence.

After standing quietly for a long time, the three people left, and three bouquets of flowers were placed on Qiao Lin's tombstone.

"Does your Starlight Company know what happened in the Sloda Forest?"

As if trying to lighten the mood, Drayton turned the topic to work.

"Of course, the old man has asked the 'Glorious Knight' to investigate."

"Lord Foley, have you ever heard of such an exaggerated thing in your experience?" Drayton asked.

"No, never." Fuli shook his head and said, "That is impossible for humans to do. I'm afraid only the legendary gods and demons can do that."

"God? Demon King?" Drayton smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that such myths would appear around us."

"Anyway, these have nothing to do with me as a retired old man. I have already helped as much as I can. If you don't have any good treasures in the future, don't disturb me."

"Oh my God!" Einbert opened his mouth so wide that two eggs could almost fit in.

The expressions of the other members were not much better than his, and they all looked as if they had seen something incredible.

In front of them was a desert filled with yellow sand, and as far as the eye could see was endless dust. But two days ago, this place was still a lush forest.

"This is what happened. Who are these two people who caused this?"

Now, these members of the 'Glorious Knights' have finally realized the gap between themselves and the truly strong ones.

Perhaps among humans, they have already climbed to a very high level, only one step away from the top level of glory, and Ambro Doron, as the team leader, has already obtained the cloak of glory very early.

But compared with the great devil Barbatos and the true vampire, who have only appeared in legends, they are really more than one dimension away.

After taking a deep breath, Ambro said, "Let's go."

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Let's go back to the imperial capital first, replenish our items and potions, and then go to the dungeon."

"Don't think I've forgiven you. I just need guards to escort me back to the imperial capital."

Dak glared at the three adventurers who were driving the carriage and shouted, "I'm telling you! I'm going to cut the cost of this commission in half!"

The three adventurers could only smile bitterly and nod.

"Luo Qiu, I want to eat that." Meng Li pointed to a roadside stall.

"Let's go take a look."

At the stall, Luo Qiu bought two potato cakes of different flavors, one for him and one for Meng Li.

His epaulettes also changed from black iron to silver. If the Adventurer's Guild had not set a rule long ago that a single adventurer could only upgrade two ranks at a time, Luo Qiu might have already reached the Gold level or even the Glory level.

"Woo woo, human food is so delicious." Meng Li expressed his thoughts after taking a big bite.

Then, she handed her portion of fried potato cake to Luo Qiu's mouth, shook her little head, and said, "Let me give you a taste of mine."

"It's delicious." Luo Qiu nodded after taking a small bite.

"I want to have a bite of yours." Meng Li pouted.

"Give."

Said eating, in fact, just gently licked the place where Luo Qiu had just bitten. Meng Li pursed his lips, showing a beautiful smile, and said softly: "Well, Luo Qiu's is also delicious."

Being dazed by the beautiful scenery before him, Luo Qiu secretly shook his head, thinking that his concentration was too poor.

By now Luo Qiu has completely understood Meng Li's thoughts.

However, he did not respond to Meng Li, but refused.

There are various deep-seated reasons involved, which I cannot elaborate on one by one for the moment.

But even so, Mengli still stubbornly wanted to stay with Luo Qiu.

Luo Qiu asked her the reason, and Meng Li had only one answer.

"Your body already belongs to me."

With such an answer, no matter how hard-hearted Luo Qiu was, he would not take the initiative to drive her away. What's more, Meng Li had already told him the current situation of the vampire clan. The lonely girl needed a companion.

Just like that, an inexplicable time traveler and the last true ancestor of the vampire clan temporarily formed an interesting adventure team.
