Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 118 Jia Xiu and the Dwarf's Little Notebook

The moment he saw the newspaper, John the Devil admitted that he panicked for a moment.

It really looks like the real thing.

Even Belial, the king of lies, was written about.

But if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be like that. If they have been exposed, then why are they still staying here?

The concentration of high-level spellcasters in Serdarion has been unusually high recently. The team leaders from the five schools and the team responsible for competition design are not ordinary people.

The only reason these middle and lower class demons haven't been wiped out is because this newspaper is making up stories.

It just happened to be a lucky guess this time.

Yes, that must be the case.

Otherwise, it cannot explain why the news has been released, but the city has not yet entered a state of martial law and is looking for undercover agents.

"Don't panic, there's no reason for them to discover us."

John reassured the other undercover agents, "These newspapers have always written about everything. They're just making up new stories. Rumors are all over the city, and we didn't do anything about it."

"that……"

A weak voice sounded from the basement.

"Chief, the rumors were spread too. I did it."

"what?"

"I made up the story that Jia Xiu was a member of a mysterious organization."

John was shocked. "Why did you make this up? We're trying to corrupt Jia Xiu, why would you make him a hot topic?"

"Isn't it about making some money? There's a newspaper asking for an article. Serdarion is a big city with high costs. You know the little funding we approved."

Speaking of this, several undercover agents felt very sympathetic.

The demons have always been very poor.

The rich at the top may be rich, but it has nothing to do with these front-line business devils. The wasteland is not a rich place, and hell is even less so.

In order to climb up the ladder as an undercover agent, you have to earn your own funds.

It's easy for them.

"Then I thought, wouldn't it be easier to break him if I created some public pressure? I've seen several examples of people being driven crazy by slander and public opinion. Chief, let me tell you, humans are more professional than us in this area..."

"Is this the time to say that?"

John felt very tired.

"Don't spread rumors in advance."

"What about Jia Xiu's matter?"

"Of course!" John said immediately.

"But the risk of being discovered is so high now..."

"What if the risk is high? I won't die."

This is also the main reason why the coalition forces of the continent's countries have not been able to completely defeat the demons.

They have a better economy, better resources, and better coordination. Although they are not very united, they are at least more united than the devils and demons. Their average strength is slightly better, and their cutting-edge combat power is not inferior. They have managed to hold out against the demons.

The key reason is that the demons cannot be completely killed in the plane where the continent is located.

After killing the demons here, their souls will return to their original plane and begin to resurrect. After a few days, they can reshape their bodies.

Only when one dies in the original plane, such as a demon, will one completely disappear only when he dies in hell.

Therefore, if the continental coalition wants to achieve complete victory, they must fight their way into hell and the abyss, tear down the demons' homes, or completely close the passages between planes, or at least close the large passages that allow large groups to pass through.

Unfortunately, the mainland does not currently have the strength to do so.

"You won't die, but you might be caught. You are undercover in the Uckermark Empire. Don't you know what experiments they are doing on us?" The devil said with a hint of fear.

The Uckermark Empire does have some special skills in being able to scare away the devil.

John rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"Jiaxiu's soul is wanted by the Belial Master. It is related to his promotion. This is a death order."

John lied. Belial did not give a death order, and this had nothing to do with his promotion. It was just a side thing, and he could do his best in completing the main goal.

Jia Xiu, it only concerns John's own promotion.

The temptation of promotion is too great.

"You all know what will happen if you don't complete the master's orders, so stop complaining and take action. Even if we fail the first round of the exam, we still have the next one. We will definitely succeed! From now on, we don't have to be miserable undercover agents anymore..."

In the operation against the "humanoid devil" Jia Xiu, the tenacious devil undercover commander, John, uses deterrence, promises and twists on his team that is on the verge of collapse.

The effect is outstanding, and morale is boosted...

……

As for Jia Xiu.

He was enjoying lunch in a restaurant.

Since the highly talked-about rumor-busting method was published in the newspaper, many local people have come to express their apologies for their previous questioning and even insulting of Jia Xiu's behavior, and many of them even brought small gifts.

This made Jia Xiu's impression of the locals improve a lot.

It's still okay, at least they will apologize if they make a mistake.

I even received an invitation to eat for free at a certain restaurant.

For example, this taco restaurant now.

It would be a waste not to eat it, and there is no tradition of saying "Stay for dinner" as a polite expression.

The taste was beyond my expectation.

The stone oven baked bread is mellow and crispy, and the potatoes stewed with Los beast meat is rich and delicious.

While enjoying the meal, I heard a hearty laugh.

"Haha! Jia Xiu, my good brother, I knew you have good taste and know how to appreciate the dwarven delicacies."

Jia Xiu turned his head and saw a very short dwarf with a big beard and a barrel waist smiling at him.

The voice sounded familiar.

"Are you, the dwarf commentator?"

“Of course, of course it’s me, who else could it be? My good brother, you helped me deal with that annoying pointy-eared guy, I have to treat you to a shot of strong liquor.” The dwarf explained, sitting down opposite Jaxiu in a very familiar manner.

"No, thank you. I still have a competition to play, and drinking might affect my condition."

Of course, by Dwarven standards, the liquor was strong enough that it probably wouldn't affect the condition, but would probably cause alcohol poisoning.

"Oh, yes, you still have another round. Please wait until you finish."

"You just said that this is a dwarven delicacy?" Jia Xiu hurriedly checked the topic, not wanting the other party to dwell on the liquor anymore.

"Of course, I heard that this is the only dwarf-owned restaurant in Serdarion."

As he spoke, he shouted towards the kitchen: "Boss, your compatriots are here. Let's have a drink together. It's not easy to meet a dwarf here."

"Hold on."

After a while, a thin dwarf walked out, and his appearance looked more and more familiar.

"Dean Nico?" Jia Xiu blurted out.

"Nico? That's my brother. I'm Taco, and you must be Jashu, right? Nice to meet you."

Jia Xiu didn't expect to meet Dean Nico's younger brother here.

"My brother asked me to look after you, but I've been a bit busy lately."

As he was speaking, the dwarf commentator looked puzzled and said, "Brother, are you really a dwarf? Why are you so thin?"

"Of course I am."

"Then, why are dwarves the best at treating head injuries?" The dwarf commentator chose to use an encrypted call to verify.

The Taco manager answered without hesitation.

"Of course it's because tourists who visit the dwarf city will bump their heads! Hahahaha..."

The password was correct, and the two dwarves started laughing.

Taco then said, "Then why are other races afraid to duel with dwarves?"

"Because dwarves can only hit the lower body! Hahahaha..."

Jia Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or not.

It's okay for dwarf jokes to make fun of their own height.

The two of them laughed and suddenly looked at Jia Xiu.

"Come on, come on, you too. This is dwarven etiquette. It's rude not to tell a joke when it's needed."

"Forehead……"

Jia Xiu tried to say, "Why isn't the dwarven technology developing so fast?"

"why?"

"Because dwarves don't have high technology."

There was silence at the dinner table.

No hilarious moments.

The dwarf commentator silently took out a small notebook.

"Second Era, 1321, Summer Month, 12th. In Taco Restaurant, Jia Xiu used a pun to mock the Dwarven technology for no longer being ahead..."

Jia Xiu couldn't hold it in any longer, "Didn't you ask me to tell you this?"

The commentator and Taco raised their heads and looked at Jia Xiu.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

After being stared at for several seconds...

"Hahaha! Did you see how nervous he was? We tricked him!"

“I see, hahaha!”

The two dwarves burst into laughter.

"Honestly, I like your joke. It's so high-tech. Haha. I'm going to tell it when I get back."

"So you're not holding grudges in your little notebook."

"of course."

"I thought the rumors about dwarves carrying around little notebooks to hold grudges were true."

"Um... that one is real too, but I don't usually carry it with me. It's too thick."

"..."

The "recognition" was successful, and the Taco store manager was very happy. After the meal, he sent Jia Xiu and Jie Luo to the door and brought them a lot of special wine-flavored cakes.

To be honest, Jia Xiu didn't smell any alcohol.

I only smell alcohol.

"Hey, what's your amulet?"

Taco pointed at what Jashu was wearing around his neck.

"Oh, this was given to me by Professor Aurelius. He is considered my master."

"May I have a look?"

"Of course." Jia Xiu took it off and handed it to Taco.

He took it in his hand, looked at it, and suddenly waved his hand to cast a spell, enchanting it with an effect that Jia Xiu couldn't see at first glance.

As Nico's younger brother, Taco is obviously not ordinary.

"Here you go," Taco tossed the amulet back. "It's a small charm that brings good luck. Remember to wear it during the exam. It might help. Remember this."

He said this and winked at Jia Xiu.

Jia Xiu looked at the enchanted amulet. It was a bit complicated and he couldn't understand it for a moment.

It seems that it does bring good luck, but it should be more than that, it seems to be able to expand, but what is certain is that there is absolutely no bad effect.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, it should be done."
