Chapter 27 Undercurrent

Chapter 27 Undercurrent
"Are you two familiar with each other?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.

"It's just so-so." Xia answered casually: "It's just that we often run into each other in some clothing stores in Rose and Lowe. Do you think we are familiar with each other?"

"If you want to find her as your girlfriend, it will be a little difficult. There are many unmarried men in Rose Lowe who are eyeing this flower, and there are many adventurers above bronze level among them." Xia smiled and gave Luo Qiu a sense of crisis.

"Really?" Luo Qiu did not comment. Although Leticia was very beautiful, Luo Qiu had no intention of getting married for the time being.

His goal now is to travel around the world step by step.

However, Xia did not think that Luo Qiu was telling the truth. She smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen Letilia go out on a date with a man alone. Although it seems that you two are not getting along well, you still have hope. Come on, third-rate adventurer!"

"And I have exclusive personal information about Letilia. Since you are an important customer of Hiden Paradise, I will give you a 50% discount. It only costs 50 gold coins. How about that? With this information, the difficulty of conquering Letilia can be reduced by at least 50%."

Xia looked like you made a fortune.

It turns out that this is the reason why this girl is so enthusiastic. Luo Qiu doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It seems that Xia has come to think that Luo Qiu is a big spender after last night's tipping incident.

That's right, considering the value of gold coins in this world, casually giving two gold coins as a reward can indeed be described as a waste.

It's a pity that Xia made a wrong calculation. Although Luo Qiu had countless powerful equipment items that were priceless in this world, he only had twenty gold coins in cash, which was not enough to buy her so-called "exclusive information".

Luo Qiu smiled softly and said, "I'm not too interested in Letilia's information, but I am very interested in your personal information. What do you think? Would you consider selling it to me at a lower price?"

"Mine?" Xia showed a unique smile on her pretty face.

"I didn't expect you to have the idea of ​​starting a harem. You're just an Iron-rank adventurer... Is this really a common trait among men?"

"Also?" Luo Qiu caught a key word.

"Yes." Xia nodded generously and said, "I once heard my mother say that having a harem before getting married is my father's ultimate dream."

The little girl told a customer her father's dark history so casually.

"Ms. Shia."

Luo Qiu's expression suddenly became serious.

"What?" Xia was slightly startled by this sudden seriousness.

"A harem is every man's most romantic dream, and no one can deny it."

Luo Qiu expressed his thoughts in a very serious manner.

Xia just stared at Luo Qiu quietly for a few seconds.

Facing the girl's scrutinizing gaze, Luo Qiu remained calm and faced it head-on.

Because, that is a solemn declaration from the heart.

Although Luo Qiu was unable to do it no matter what when he was on Earth, there was always a glimmer of hope in the depths of his heart.

"Disgusting." In the end, the girl came to this conclusion.

"But getting my personal information is not as difficult as you think. If you become what everyone calls a 'hero', I'll give it to you for free."

Luo Qiu looked at the complacent Xia in surprise.

This girl who is a little greedy for money is surprisingly smart.

She did not propose any conditions such as becoming a glory-level adventurer, which was extremely difficult but tangible.

It is not easy to be praised as a 'hero' by the world.

Possessing the strength of a glory-level adventurer is only one of the conditions. One must slay dragons, defeat demons, repel alien races, save the world, etc. Only when one has achieved these and gained the recognition of the people can one be called a "hero."

A man who can be called a hero is probably enough to attract any woman. "Cunning." Luo Qiu commented on Xia's performance.

“Hehehe…” Xia was very proud and said, “Only a hero is worthy of me.”

"Dream."

"We'll see!"

……

Starlight Commercial Bank, the iconic high-rise building glows with starlight in the middle of the night. The nearly 100-meter-high building is shrouded in a layer of magic, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close to it.

But tonight, there were three figures that blended into the darkness. They ignored the external defenses of Starlight Trading Company and jumped directly into the window from a blind spot. Because of their extremely fast speed and the cover of shadow magic, the guards outside Starlight Trading Company did not notice their presence at all.

After the three entered the Starlight Commercial Bank, they ran towards the rooftop without saying a word. In just a few minutes, they were close to the top of the Starlight Commercial Bank, and no one noticed their traces along the way.

The top floor of Starlight Trading Company is divided into two parts, one of which is an auction hall that can accommodate a thousand people. This venue is used every time Starlight Trading Company holds a formal auction.

The other one is the most important warehouse, where all the valuable items collected by Starlight Trading Company are stored.

There is no large-scale auction taking place tonight, so the purpose of these three mysterious persons is obvious.

There are senior guards outside the warehouse of Starlight Trading Company. They are divided into groups of five, and three groups take shifts every night. Each of them is wearing sophisticated props, and they pay close attention to the movements around them even in the middle of the night, without any slackness.

The encirclement formed by the five people just blocked all the blind spots of the warehouse door. In addition, there was a magic sensing device in the warehouse, so it was impossible to use teleportation magic to directly enter the warehouse.

If the three mysterious men want to enter the warehouse, they must first pass the five guards.

The three of them lurked outside the warehouse for a long time, and after not finding any flaws in the five guards, they looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and reached some kind of consensus.

"who?"

The five guards almost simultaneously spotted a black-robed figure approaching rapidly. Although he stepped carefully in the shadows with every step, he could not escape the five men's well-trained eyes.

"Qiang!"

The five guards drew their swords almost at the same time, and the sharp sword edges shone with a dark and cold light under the moonlight.

This sword is made of high-grade metal 'black steel' and is worth a lot of money! The props that Starlight Trading Company equipped them with are not weak.

Although the five men drew their swords at the same time, only one of them went towards the man in black robe, while the other four changed their positions at the first moment and continued to cover the door of the warehouse.

"Heavy Chop!"

A sword fell, accompanied by a fierce whistling sound of wind. The guard showed no mercy and used his powerful fighting skills right away.

"Dangdang!"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of metal clashing, the man in black robe took out a three-inch dagger from his arms and easily blocked the guard's sword.

With a change of gesture, the dagger with green light drew a long green mark in the air and wiped towards the guard's throat.

"First level of acceleration!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the guard was unable to care about his hands which were almost paralyzed by the recoil, and used accelerated fighting skills to narrowly avoid the fatal blow from the man in black robe.

"Who... are you?" the guard asked in a hoarse voice. There were not many people in Rose Lowe who could defeat him so easily as he possessed the strength of a silver-level adventurer.

"There's no need for the dead to know too much."

An icy voice without any emotion came from under the black robe. The voice was so chilling that the guards' bodies froze for a moment.
