In front of the road bridge, tiny doors appeared out of thin air from the walls of the tavern rooms.

These small doors kept opening, revealing what lay behind them: some were magnificent and opulent, while others were dilapidated and ruined.

A dense array of small doors appeared inside the tavern, connecting it to various other worlds.

Lu Qiao stood aside and watched, and finally understood the ingenious use of these doors.

In this way, all parts of the world can communicate through this small door.

These small doors are only about the size of a fist, and there is no way to enter the tavern except through communication.

The doors opened one after another; looking across the road, there were over a hundred doors.

Lu Qiao leaned closer to the black cat and whispered, "It's just seventy-two races and seventy-two doors, right? There must be over a hundred already, right? And they're still open?"

The black cat spoke up: "Many races have branches. Aren't humans divided into black people, white people, and Asians? And this demi-human is an ancient branch of you humans from outside Earth. Alright, now you can say whatever I say."

"Huh? Why do you want me to be a broken record?" Lu Qiao retorted.

"I've said before that the Lich race is quite special. On Earth, they need servants because they don't want to expose their true selves and have to appear as animals. So, they have to be seen as human beings by other races. It's just that the Lich race likes to keep cats, snakes, and eagles as pets!" the black cat replied.

"Oh! Let me pretend to be you! Wait, doesn't Monica know you're Black Cat?" Lu Qiao instantly realized.

"The bartenders in the outer realms are special; they won't reveal their Lich race," the black cat replied.

"Okay, whatever you say." Lu Qiao remembered what the black cat had said before about why it needed servants, which seemed to be because it was afraid of revealing its animal identity.

The lich race could only live as animals on Earth, which made many things inconvenient.

After the small door opened, Luqiao peeked out cautiously.

The other party could see the situation in the tavern through the small door, and Lu Qiao could also see their situation through the small door.

Luqiao saw a room that looked like a palace, with a rabbit sitting on a platform and many rabbits densely packed below.

The rabbit was enormous; Lu Qiao felt he couldn't even beat one of them in a one-on-one fight.

They were chattering away, and Lu Qiao could hear their conversation in his mind.

"Your Majesty, the budget is going to be exceeded again this year."

"The population... the population is terrifyingly excessive. Are our rabbits just too prolific?"

……

Clearly, this small door is for prominent figures from various dimensions to listen in on events, and of course, this red level must be a very important matter.

The black cat whimpered softly in Luqiao's ear. Luqiao coughed twice and shouted, "Listen to me, everyone!"

Instantly, all the noise inside the doors stopped, and everyone fell silent, eager to know what Lu Qiao had to say.

Although Luqiao speaks Chinese, you can see people from various ethnic groups inside the small gate, and there are translators translating Luqiao's language.

The black cat continued purring, while Lu Qiao began his translation: "It was I who sounded the red alert this time. I... I, Aini of the Lich Clan, through divination and investigation, discovered that the Demi-humans are buying up large quantities of gold! This is definitely not ordinary. As far as I know, the Demi-humans possess a heretical book called..."

Luqiao was just a mouthpiece, repeating whatever the black cat said.

So, after some time to think, Lu Qiao realized that the black cat was referring to what he had discovered through divination, and did not mention that Monica had neglected her duty by selling the gold to the demi-human race.

So the black cat gave Monica a chance. When Monica heard Lu Qiao's words, she got up from the ground, but the look of fear on her face did not disappear.

Lu Qiao pondered and understood what was going on; this matter was indeed a matter of vested interests.

After all, Monica was helping Black Cat sell gold, even though Black Cat emphasized that it was only allowed to be sold on Earth.

But if a real investigation is conducted, this matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated.

Lu Qiao looked back at the Rabbit Kingdom he had just visited and found that all the rabbits were no longer communicating with each other, but instead were looking through books and submitting them.

They were clearly investigating the matter of the demi-human cult's cult, and also checking whether Lu Qiao's words were right or wrong.

Lu Qiao looked at the rabbit-people's small door, and soon, the book was handed to the rabbit king.

The Rabbit King was calm one second, but the next second he started trembling uncontrollably, clearly afraid.

To be honest, Lu Qiao was also shocked when he heard about the so-called evil god ritual that was supposed to devour everything and fight against the gods.

If Black Cat hadn't so confidently declared that the plan was doomed to fail, Luqiao might not be much more stable than this Rabbit King right now.

The black cat sensed Lu Qiao's lack of focus and revealed its claws.

The hand that grabbed Lu Qiao's shoulder brought him back to his senses.

"Hiss~"

Ouch! Lu Qiao almost cried out.

"Focus, you don't need to read this sentence," the black cat whimpered.

"Pay attention... I mean everyone, listen to me carefully." Lu Qiao realized he almost let something slip.

Indeed, there were whispers of discussion inside the small doorway due to the shock, but after these words were spoken, silence fell once again.

The black cat didn't pursue Lu Qiao's words and continued humming. Lu Qiao cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, this time I'm taking the lead. I need to recruit some troops from among you to see how far the demi-human race has progressed with the evil god ritual. Should we suppress them on the spot or gather more troops? Who is willing to send troops now? Time is tight and the task is heavy. Those who are interested can send troops directly to the Outer Realm Tavern - Ingraim. A gate to the demi-human world will be opened here."

The next second, Luqiao saw a shocking scene.

Various hands reached out from the small door, each carrying a sign displaying different symbols.

These symbols were translated into Lu Qiao's mind; they were all signs indicating a willingness to send people.

After seeing the sign, the black cat didn't say anything more, but looked at Monica lying on the ground in a daze and continued to whimper.

Lu Qiao understood and looked at Monica: "Please, administrator, open the gate for the demi-human race for us."

Monica's face lit up with delight upon hearing this: "Understood!"

The black cat's words, translated by Lu Qiao, did not mention that Monica had done anything wrong.

Monica knew that this was the key to her success.

Monica walked to the front desk, opened one of the various drawers below it, took out a key from it, and then inserted the key into the fireplace behind her.

Monica slowly pushed open the fireplace, and a large door appeared before everyone's eyes.

Monica grabbed the leather whip hanging on the wall and gestured that the road and bridge could be entered.

Luqiao then realized that the entire area under the front desk was filled with tiny drawers.

It is clearly a key to various worlds, and the door opened by the fireplace is more than twice the size of the other doors, which is the entrance that allows large numbers of alien races to enter.

Each of the small doors reached their hands back, and then one by one the small doors were closed and disappeared from the spot.

More and more gates opened, and groups of different races emerged from them in twos and threes or in large groups.

The tavern instantly became lively, and the black cat whimpered again in Luqiao's ear.

Lu Qiao blurted out without thinking, "Let's go, or it'll be too crowded."

The black cat glared at Lu Qiao, and after it finished speaking, Lu Qiao understood that this sentence didn't need to be read.

But it doesn't really matter, because it's like what Lu Qiao said to Monica.

Lu Qiao, fearing he might say the wrong thing, rushed into the open doorway of the fireplace.

Monica followed and entered through the gate.

Lu Qiao emerged from the door and entered this demi-human world, only to find it incredibly dark.

It's nighttime here, but Luqiao knows it's daytime in the United States.

As soon as they came out, the black cat complained, "Why do you say everything?"

"You didn't tell me not to tell beforehand!" Lu Qiao said helplessly, making up an excuse.

A firelight shone from beside Luqiao, and the black cat used its paw to turn Luqiao's face forward.

Monica stepped out from behind, activated her magic, and her body glowed with white light: "I'll lead the way."

Lu Qiao followed Monica's footsteps, and the original customers in the tavern behind them also came over, clearly wanting to get involved in such an important matter.

This appears to be a tall tower, spiraling downwards from top to bottom.

It has about six floors in total. Lu Qiao and Monica have finally reached the ground floor.

Looking up again now, it becomes clear that this is a watchtower.

Black Cat whispered in Lu Qiao's ear, "If they send troops, they won't be able to communicate with each other. I'll ask them to elect a captain and enlighten them. I can only enlighten them in Chinese."

"Understood." Lu Qiao nodded.

"And I only translate what I hear completely, unlike your exaggerated method of translating in my mind just by seeing it."

"Then what should I do?" Lu Qiao asked, realizing that the black cat had given him the complete form of the ability.

The black cat spoke again: "Reach out and tap their heads, I'll handle the rest."

"Like when you tap my head?" Lu Qiao pondered, reaching out his hand.

The black cat answered readily, "Yes."

Unfortunately, Lu Qiao understood that he was now the incarnation of the black cat, and in the eyes of other alien races, he was a lich.

Lu Qiao understood; from the very beginning until now, not a single demi-human had been seen. Logically, a watchtower shouldn't be without a guard, yet not a single one could be seen.

In contrast, more and more alien races appeared above the watchtower. These alien races used their abilities to run, jump, or even fly down from the watchtower and gather at the scene.

Lu Qiao looked around; behind him was a watchtower, and in the distance before him lay a massive castle.

The art style here seems to be stuck in the Middle Ages.

On the open ground, more and more different races appeared, searching for their companions among themselves.

Some have only two or three colleagues, while others have formed a group of dozens.

Everyone was well-trained and refrained from shouting; instead, they formed a circle around the road and bridge.

Lu Qiao knew that these people who came were probably powerful individuals or armies from various alien worlds.

The black cat continued to purr softly. Lu Qiao thought for a moment and said, "I speak Chinese, but they don't have a translator right now, so they won't understand me."

The black cat continued purring: "I'm not saying this to you, but just open your mouth and start pawing."

Lu Qiao opened his mouth: "What am I digging at?"

At this moment, Monica spoke in the alien language: "Those who are fast and have scout and reconnaissance abilities, explore on your own. Each team's squad leader should come to Lord Luqiao for enlightenment. To save time, those of the same race who can understand each other should not come."

These words began to be repeated among different races in different languages.

Lu Qiao then realized that this was a scheme to make Lu Qiao pretend to speak so that Monica could translate the black cat's meaning, using Lu Qiao as a cover.

Immediately, people from each of the alien races, more or less, began to move.

Some ran, some flew, and some races even cooperated to leave the scene to investigate.

And each race sent one person. Standing before Lu Qiao, Lu Qiao bent down and began to tap the foreheads of these alien races.

After the light spots on their foreheads flickered, the alien races thanked Lu Qiao in their own language.

The bridge is 1.8 meters high, and the captains sent by other alien races can basically complete the ceremony by half-squatting. Even some giant races that are three or four meters tall can receive enlightenment by squatting down.

Lu Qiao felt like he was being worshipped and submitted to. He secretly enjoyed it and felt like a leader. Of course, seeing so many different races at once was also quite an eye-opener.

Lu Qiao raised his hand repeatedly, having gotten used to glancing around randomly whenever he had a spare moment.

Luqiao also saw the situation on the other side, the last group of people to come down from the tower.

There were about a hundred people, all fully armed, with unique and expensive equipment.

They weren't gleaming with gold or silver light; it was only under the illumination of torches lit by other alien races and their luminous abilities that their extraordinary nature became apparent.

After they came down, they glanced at the road and bridge area, then set up their preparations on the spot, completely ignoring the road and bridge area.

When Lu Qiao looked over, he saw a soldier dressed as a soldier jump down from the sixth floor of the tower, land steadily on the ground, take a few steps forward, greet the crowd, and then sit down to rest.

They didn't come to the black cat to get enlightenment, so it's only possible that they have already gotten enlightenment, or that they can understand it themselves.

Lu Qiao's hands mechanically went through the process of enlightenment, but his eyes were staring blankly into the distance.

Even the enlightened alien races who came up here did not complain about the slowdown in the road and bridge.

Monica noticed something and stepped forward, explaining in a low voice, "Those are adventurer teams."

This was a whisper that only Lu Qiao and Monica could hear; the enlightened aliens, lacking the black cat's ability to translate what they saw into their minds, could not hear it.

It's great to have someone to answer my questions. Lu Qiao looked at Monica: "Those adventurers you mentioned over there, aren't they coming to seek enlightenment?"

"I already had that enlightenment when I became an adventurer; every bartender in the tavern can do that," Monica explained.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiao realized why the black cat had said the manager of the Outer Domain Tavern wouldn't expose him.

Yes, Monica also has a similar ability, which was probably passed down to her by the black cat. In other words, it was passed down from the lich race to these outer realm administrators.

Seeing that Lu Qiao didn't quite understand, Monica explained again: "Adventurer teams are like elites among the alien races. Some alien races will pay for and train them themselves, while others will hang out in taverns in the outer realms and accept various rewards."

"Isn't this a fantasy world setting? Adventurers, taverns, quests? Do adventurers have levels?" Lu Qiao realized.
