You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel?

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 inwardly.

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

He even wanted to lure the monsters over there for 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 rubbed Mia in his arms and sighed, "I'm out of ideas. Their team has already disbanded. How about I disguise myself as a soldier and join them?"

Mages do not team up.

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

Lott was still not giving up. He continued to stare at the two people until the moon rose higher and higher in the sky before he gave up following them.

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

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

So Lotte took off her 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, forcing a 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 Ya'er to ask her for information, only to find out that you went to the forest with a list of mages."

"Ya'er is really something, telling you everything when it's clearly classified information."

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."

Chloris led Lott 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 at Lottie, "Come in, Mr. Lottie, are you afraid I'll make a move on you?"

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

Chloris said, "On the night we were investigating 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 [Summoning the Dead]. I only need to observe the spells you use in the battles to easily figure out the details of your abilities. You mentioned speed spells to me during the day and then went to follow other mages, probably to learn their spells."

“...You’re overthinking it, Chloris.”

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

Lott sighed. "What are you talking about?"

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

No matter what Lott 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 gave it to me, and you're not giving it back."

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

“Lotte, since you won’t kill me, I will 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, the 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 Divine 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 really 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 making a mess of things.”

"Is this considered caring about me?"

Chloris emphasized, "It's about caring for each other as teammates. For example, you went to the forest alone today because you wanted to learn magic but were afraid I would find out. That's dangerous. If this continues, you'll get into trouble sooner or later."

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

"What if you get surrounded? What if several enemy squads gang up on you?"

Chloris frowned slightly. "And if I reveal this secret, you won't have anything left to hide from me. This is good news for me, so you won't be afraid to help me when I'm in danger. I swear in the name of Reinhardt, 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 be exposed.

Without Chloris, Lotte would have to constantly change 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 harm Chloris because of this secret, his life would truly be on the countdown.

Lott nodded and continued, "Isn't there a reason I can accept it?"

"You really want to hear it?" Chloris's voice suddenly softened. "Then you're not allowed to laugh at me."

"You don't actually like me, do you?"

“No, that’s not it!” Chloris glared at Lotte, then continued softly, “You have this ability, I just... I think you’re amazing. If you’re willing to be with me, I will... I will…”

Under Lotte's gaze, Chloris blushed, bit her lip, and with great effort managed to say:

"I would be very happy."

She continued, "Now that I know about your abilities, I could have kept it from you, but I don't think that would be right. So, I'll tell you and you can make the decision. Whether you stay with me or not, at least we'll be a little more honest with each other."

Her voice grew softer and softer until Lott could no longer hear it: "Besides, you learned this magic for our sake, so it's only right that I help you..."

Lott asked, "When will you become a high-level warrior?"

"I feel it's coming soon. It should be in about a month."

"Speaking of which, what are the requirements for a warrior to advance in rank?"

"It focuses on combat skills and also requires certain physical attributes."

Lott felt there should be enough time.

With Chloris and Donu working hard to defeat some monsters and earn more money along the way, they might be able to master the magic of the mage from the city before Fafnya's deduction world begins.

But is this really a good idea?

He obtained magic from Chloris, then went to Fafnya's Deduction World to practice, and finally went to save Isolde in the Deduction World.

Lott felt something was off.

“Then let’s go tomorrow and try to get it done for you within half a month. At the same time, I will still go and collect other people’s magic.”

A smile appeared on Chloris's face. "You agreed? That's great! I was worried you would reject me."

“I’m more worried now that you’ll have your family take me back.”

“We are a family of warriors, why would we capture you? Besides, this is your ability, there's nothing good for us to gain by taking you back.”

The next morning, Lotte and Chloris headed to the Adventurers' Guild.

Lotte also wanted to test just how strong his 40 points of arcane attribute really were.

As they stood in the forest, facing a giant lizard of the second-tier ferocious beast class named [Bartos], Lotte realized that something was amiss.

The good news is that my 40 points of arcane attribute are indeed very strong.

The bad news is, it's a bit too strong.

It was so powerful that Chloris couldn't get a word in edgewise.

There's nothing wrong with using the fireball spell to roast Chloris's white socks in Chapter 85.

“Lotte, you…”

The five-meter-long lizard had been roasted black by the [Fireball] spell, and a strange meaty aroma wafted through the air.

On this lovely green meadow, Miss Chloris, dressed in cloth armor, looked at Lotte behind her with surprise. "What is this?"

"Fireball spell."

"Is it the fireball spell used to subdue the Misty Bear Spirit?"

"Yes."

“But, but,” Chloris drew a small circle in the air with her hands, “shouldn’t a fireball be this size? Yours was many times bigger than this.”

Chloris simply couldn't understand why Lotte's magic power had increased so rapidly in just two weeks.

It's so fast that it can no longer be explained by ordinary understanding.

Moreover, Lott has hardly gone out to hunt any monsters these days, spending his time helping out with the [3,000 gold coins].

Lotte crouched down beside the lizard, squinted, and reached into its scorching body. He groped around in its sticky internal organs for a long time before finally pulling out a crystal core.

He walked to the stream and washed it clean before putting it into his waist bag.

I've got 10 silver coins.

This monster is a level 2 [fierce beast] from the elf territory, with a level between 10 and 20. It is completely different from the level 1 [wild beast] in Maple Town. It even has a crystal core inside its body.

These magical crystal cores fetch a good price in the Mage Guild, so there are quite a few commissions for them.

In the battle just now, Chloris defended and dodged in front, while Lotte continuously used [Fireball] from behind.

With 30 points of Spirit, Lotte wasn't worried about running out of magic power. He kept throwing fireballs with 40 points of Arcane power at the monsters.

If Lotte only has 10 points in Arcane, he will hide behind his teammates and occasionally cast a Fireball.

If he has 20 points in Arcane, his teammates will acknowledge his importance, and tactical resources will be allocated to him to work together to kill monsters.

If he has 40 points in arcane magic, then there's no point in discussing tactics. Just circle around him and hope that Loth will throw spells to kill him.

In this combat mode, casualties are reduced to an extremely low level, which is why everyone loves to team up with mages.

They don't need to rush to the monsters to fight to the death; they just need to stall them while the old mage is chanting.

But this is not good news for Chloris, as she has no way to get any exercise in this mode.

Chloris also went to the riverbank. She took off her boots and white socks and put them in the river to wash and soak the blood off the socks.

She walked barefoot on the hard stones, making her soft, pink breasts stand out even more.

After staring at her feet for a while, Lott shifted his gaze to her face. "Chloris, did the battle just now help you?"

“No.” Chloris shook her head, wrung out the white socks, and handed them to Lott.

"What?"

"Master Lotte, could you use a fireball spell to dry me out?"

"That's not what my fireball spell is for."

"What does it matter? You have almost no magic power anyway."
