Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

huh~~

So full~~~

After leaving the restaurant, Shane rubbed his bulging belly as he walked towards the city hall in the center of the city.

To be honest, with the masterpiece of barbecue, beer, and crayfish from my previous life, no matter how skilled the chef in this other world is, the food he makes can only barely be placed on the same table as "West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce".

But if you've been eating black bread and drinking plain water for three days in a monastery in some forest, you'll surely find solace in sizzling roasted ribs and steaming cream of mushroom soup.

Of course, Frilian received more redemption.

Xia En glanced to the side and saw the elfin girl gently touching her belly, her eyes half-closed, basking in the spring sunshine with a satisfied expression, almost melting with happiness.

I silently sighed to myself:

Indeed, little girls who love sweets are all so cute.

……

The City Hall, located in the heart of Gostan City, is the heart of the city, managing all its affairs and ensuring its orderly operation.

As soon as he entered through the door, Xia En felt a slight discomfort, as if static electricity had flowed through his body.

This feeling of discomfort was only momentary.

He looked at Frillie with a puzzled expression.

Frillie explained to him:

"This is magic that can identify demonic creatures. Because there are beings among the demons who look very much like humans, if they can hide their demonic horns with clothing or magic, they can easily blend into the crowd. Therefore, large cities or fortresses will set up such magic in important locations."

It turned out to be the case.

Recalling the double defenses they encountered last night, Shane suddenly had a somewhat favorable impression of the city's rulers.

A prudent ruler can always minimize unnecessary casualties.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

A beautiful receptionist in a black, fitted uniform greeted us, a gentle smile on her face, her every gesture graceful and considerate. Even her voice and tone were like a breath of fresh air.

Xia En couldn't help but exclaim: "What a high-caliber talent!"

"Hello, my name is Shane. I have been asked by the monk Mr. Belial to deliver a manuscript."

With that, Xia En took out the wooden box and handed it over.

After taking the wooden box, the other party glanced at the emblem on it, then opened the box and scanned the thick manuscript inside. He nodded in satisfaction and said:

"You two have really worked hard. It is indeed Mr. Belial's notebook."

"With this final analytical manuscript, the new magic he deciphered from the Holy Scripture can now be officially tested and cataloged. It must be said, Mr. Belial was truly a remarkable monk; his research will undoubtedly influence future generations."

Xia En felt gratified; the old man's life's work had not been in vain.

"To express our gratitude for your help, the city hall has prepared a small gift. Please wait a moment."

Is there any extra compensation?

Xia En was pleasantly surprised.

The beautiful receptionist left with the manuscript in her hand, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to her original position, the wooden box in her hand transformed into a small envelope.

The speed at which this teleportation happened was so fast that Xia En's eyes couldn't keep up, leaving him greatly shocked.

However, before the receptionist could hand the envelope to Xia En, an extremely frivolous voice came from the entrance of the city hall.

"Who ordered the sealing of the [Upside-Down Land] labyrinth? Quickly, let me unseal it."

Xia En immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

It was the blond playboy who had just caused a commotion in the restaurant.

His old butler and two maids were still following behind him.

The man, one hand in his pocket, swaggered into the city hall, even deliberately stopping in the center of the hall. He gave a nonchalant tilt of his chin and continued:

"This young master is going to conquer the maze. Whoever set up the barrier, dispel it immediately."

Despite the blond boy's arrogant and rude demands, the beautiful receptionist remained unfazed and continued to smile.

"I'm sorry, sir, but the city is currently under martial law. To ensure the safety of adventurers and to guard against any unauthorized attacks, we have suspended all raiding activities."

"Then grant me a special permission."

"I'm sorry, sir, the city hall's ban is never granted by special permission. Please wait patiently for the ban to be lifted."

"Then call over the head of your city hall. I need to have a word with him."

"I'm sorry, sir, Lord Ross and General Glucks are both attending a city defense meeting and are unable to receive you. If you require a meeting, I can make an appointment for you; the earliest available time is... four days from now in the afternoon."

The two exchanged a flurry of attacks, leaving Xia En, who was standing nearby, completely dumbfounded.

Wow, that's impressive. You're definitely a top-tier talent.

Faced with the blond boy's rudeness, the beautiful receptionist remained calm and composed, handling the situation with ease. Every word she uttered was impeccable, while the blond boy, after just two sentences, was already starting to get angry.

"What bans and prohibitions? I think you're all targeting me! You believe I'll...!"

boom!

A loud bang.

Before the hot-tempered young master could finish his harsh words, something suddenly appeared in the city hall.

Three golems, each over two meters tall, suddenly jumped down from the top of the stone pillars in the hall, forming an angled formation that surrounded the blond young master.

Shaun was somewhat surprised. He looked up at the stone pillars in the hall, and on top of each pillar were four "miniature" golems.

There are four pillars in the hall, so there must be a total of...

As expected of the city hall, their defense measures are impeccable.

The beautiful receptionist maintained her smile and amiable demeanor. However, the three golems in front of her exuded a chilling killing intent.

The blond young master was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

It was the old butler behind him who knew what was good for him. He immediately stepped forward, placing his hand in front of the blond-haired youth, and at the same time, nodded slightly to the receptionist in apology.

"Please forgive my young master's unintentional offense. We will leave now."

Upon hearing the old butler's words, the beautiful receptionist smiled generously and said nothing more.

She returned to Xia En, presented the envelope with both hands, and bowed in thanks, "This is a small token of our gratitude from the City Hall. Please accept it. Thank you again for your help."

Instantly, Xia En felt as if a hateful gaze was burning through his back.

It's obvious whose gaze this is.

Xia En sighed silently.

Whether in his past life or this one, he hated troublesome people the most, so he decisively accepted the envelope and left with Frilian.

result.

The less you want trouble, the more trouble will come knocking on your door.

I had only walked a few steps out of the city hall when I heard an annoying voice behind me.

"Wait a moment!"

The blond young master teleported in front of them, blocking their path.

He walked past Shane, looking at Frillie with excitement, and gave her a very impolite once-over. "Aren't you Frillie, the mage from the Hero's Squad?"

"I'm Brug, a very powerful mage! Let's team up and conquer the dungeon!"
