You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel

"Good good."

Because of the increased number of monsters in Fengen Town, the Adventurers' Guild Hall was bustling early in the morning.

Many people greeted Lotte, including the receptionist, Yar, behind the counter.

Lott squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of Yar. "There are so many people lately. Has everyone from the entire Attenborough region come here?"

"Pretty much. My privileges are much greater now than before, and the guild has even assigned me several assistants."

"Congratulations." Lott took out three silver coins from his pocket, took Yar's warm hand, and slipped the coins into his pocket. "I didn't bring much, just a piece of paper with my home address on it."

"I'm not going. I'd have to go around Miss Chloris's surveillance. I feel like a thief."

Yar discreetly put the silver coins away, then quietly opened the door next to the counter, gesturing for Lotte to follow her inside.

The two walked into the back lounge. Yar slumped onto the sofa and let out a long sigh. "Lotte, I'm so envious of you now. You're being taken care of by Miss Chloris, with food and lodging provided, and you can even see beautiful girls. You've become so generous with your money now, unlike me, who has to face a bunch of old men every day."

"What do you mean by 'keeping someone'? I'm just a tenant, and I have to pay rent every month."

Lott lightly kicked Yar's boot. "How many mages have come to Maple's Town lately?"

“Five. You’ve seen three of them, from Whitestone Town. The other two are from Attenborough, one human and one half-elf.”

"There are actually half-elves here?"

“Mapletown is a very popular town now, and it will only get better in the future. Not to mention half-elves, even elves will appear.”

"I need their mission assignment information and possible locations."

“That’s against the rules, Mr. Lott.” Yar sat up, crossed her legs, and looked at Lott. “You’ll have to include a date with me in your payment.”

Lott nodded, sat down next to Yar, then stood up again. "Alright, the date is over."

“Tch.” Yar shrugged. She wrote down the addresses of five mages on a piece of paper and handed it to Lot. “If you’re going to rob them, be careful. One of them is an elite adventurer team from Attenborough, and they have scouts in the team. The half-elf team will be much weaker; everyone hates half-elves.”

"why?"

"Elves have always looked down on humans, and so have half-elves. No one wants to deal with a race that hates humans deep down."

After saying goodbye to Yar, Lott followed the address on her paper to search for the mage's whereabouts.

Rather than robbing magic scrolls in Attenborough, it was more realistic for him to steal other mages' spells.

Lotte didn't go after Boll's three teams; he had already stolen all their techniques, rendering them useless.

As Yar had mentioned, the other team was equipped with a professional scout whose perception abilities caused Mia, the little fox beside Lot, to frequently issue warnings, signaling Lot not to approach any further.

That leaves only one half-elf squad.

Lotte found the other party through Mia's senses, and from a distance, he indeed saw a boy who looked like an elf.

He had the long ears of an elf, but his skin was not as fair as an elf's.

After Lotte visited the elven territory, he learned why Chloris was called the "elven girl under the moonlight."

That was truly white.

Besides the half-elf, Lot also saw the little nun in black robes in the party.

Lotte stood at a distance, observing the other party, hoping that the half-elf would use some useful magic.

But as the sky gradually darkened, Lotte was already cursing under his breath.

What's wrong with these guys? They've been searching all day and haven't even found a monster!

He even considered luring the monsters away to them.

The group seemed to have gotten into an argument as well. Two warriors yelled something at the half-elf, then shrugged and stormed off.

Only the half-elf and the little nun remained standing on the forest lawn.

Lotte gently rubbed Mia in his arms and sighed, "I'm out of ideas. Their team has already disbanded. How about I disguise myself as a warrior and join them?"

Mages do not team up with each other.

Because the items and staffs carried by mages are very valuable, they are bound to be coveted by other mages if they are in the same team.

Lotte was still not giving up. He continued to stare at the two people until the moon rose higher and higher in the sky, at which point he finally gave up the pursuit.

By the time he returned to the [Three Thousand Gold Coins], it was already late at night.

He secretly used Mia to scout out Chloris's location and found that she seemed to still be awake and was helping out in front of him.

So Lotte took off his shoes and quietly went into the house through the back door.

Just as he closed the door, a shadow appeared on it.

"Mr. Lott, what time is it now?"

“I don’t know.” Lott shook his head. “How would I know the time? Maybe it’s 9:59.”

Wearing a headscarf, Chloris stood with her hands on her hips, maintaining a forced smile: "It's already 2 a.m. I was worried that you might have been eaten by some wild beast, so I went to Miss Yar to ask her for information, only to find out that you went to the forest with the list of mages."

"Yar is really something, telling you everything when it's clearly a secret."

Chloris's smile faded, and she asked, "Lotte, do you possess the ability to learn magic with just a glance?"

Chapter 84 The Relay of Three Girls

"Chloris, what do you mean by this?"

"Come with me."

Chlorie led Lotte into her room.

Lotte stood at the doorway and looked around; the room's layout was almost identical to his own.

But compared to Lotte's simple style, the walls are covered with Chloris's own hand-painted pictures, and with the warm yellow lighting, walking in feels like being wrapped in a thick quilt in winter.

Chloris sat in a chair, propping her chin up with one hand, and smiled faintly at Lott. "Come in. Mr. Lott, are you afraid I'll make a move on you?"

Lotte closed the door, unsure of what Chloris was up to.

Chloris said, "On the night we were scouting the lava golem, it used a total of six spells, including [Water Shield], [Arcane Missile], and [Gigantification]."

She pointed at Lotte: "Before that night, you only knew [Fireball], [Explosion], and [Undead Summoning Magic]. I only need to observe the magic you use in the subsequent battles to easily figure out the details of your ability. You mentioned the acceleration magic to me during the day, and then went to follow other mages, probably because you wanted to learn other people's magic."

“...You’re overthinking it, Chloris.”

“Lotte, Uncle Bald is drunk up ahead. You can choose to kill me here to silence me and then escape from Fengen Town.”

Lott sighed. "What are you talking about?"

Chloris opened the drawer and handed the dagger hidden inside to Lotte. "Here's a dagger. Take it. You can do whatever you want."

No matter what Lotte chooses, Chloris already knows the secret.

"You are a warrior, I am a mage. If I choose to kill you right now, will you not resist?"

"Not always."

Lotte smiled faintly and put the beautiful dagger into his pocket.

"Chloris, I'll take this dagger; it can still sell for 20 copper coins."

"You! Give me back my dagger!"

"You just said you'd give it to me, so you're not returning it."

Chloris hadn't expected Lotte to be so shameless; her hand could only awkwardly rest in front of Lotte, grasping at nothing but air.

“Lotte, since you won’t kill me, I’ll help you.”

"You'll help me? Help me with what?"

“I am Chloris Reinhardt, a member of the Reinhardt family.”

Noticing Lotte's gaze, Chloris continued, "When I become a high-level warrior, my family will send someone to test my strength. At that time, I will have them send a mage I know along, and you can learn his magic from him."

Lotte wasn't surprised by the news.

When he heard Isolde mention Reinhardt's Holy Shield, he knew that Chloris might be a member of this family.

"Chloris, why did you do this?"

“As a member of Reinhardt, I don’t actually care about your abilities. I just… well…” Chloris turned her face away and said in an extremely weak voice, “I just think you’re too prone to acting recklessly.”

"Is this what you call caring about me?"

Chloris emphasized, "It's about the concern between teammates. For example, if you went to the forest alone today because you wanted to learn magic but were afraid of being discovered, that's dangerous. If this continues, you'll get into trouble sooner or later."

"With Mia around, there's no danger."

"What if you're surrounded? What if several enemy squads attack you together?"

Chloris frowned slightly. "Besides, if I expose this secret, you won't have anything left to hide from me. This is good news for me too, so you won't be afraid to help me when I'm in danger just to conceal your strength. I swear in the name of Reinhardt that I will never reveal your information to anyone."

Faced with the evidence before him, Lotte knew that if he wanted to team up with Chloris again, his secret would not be able to be kept.

Without Chloris, Lotte would have to constantly switch teammates to protect herself.

Frequently changing teammates not only greatly reduces efficiency, but also makes it impossible to guarantee safety.

It's better to have a teammate who knows your secrets and is stable and reliable.

Moreover, if he were to take action against Chloris because of this secret, his life would truly be on the verge of collapse.
