Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

The bartender clapped lightly and, as agreed, brought out several large wooden crates filled with prickly pear flowers, more than enough to complete the task.

Nolan nodded in satisfaction and took out ten gold coins from the rich girl's wallet.

Early in the morning, before the town was deserted, the bartender poured four glasses of ice water and pushed them in front of the girls.

"Thank you for your hard work, this round is on me."

Thanks.

Messiah was about to raise his glass without hesitation when Nolan stopped him.

The silver-haired girl said shyly, "Actually, there's one more thing I need your help with."

"what?"

The bartender shrugged.

"Lend me your head for a moment... Mr. Salion."

Nolan's smile widened.

The bartender narrowed his eyes, asking in confusion, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

Mei Ruo's eyelids twitched slightly, and she placed her small hand on the short sword at her back waist, exclaiming in surprise, "He's Salion?"

"How did you know?"

Messiah was also stunned.

Nolan raised his glass, swirled it, and asked intriguingly, "What did you add to the water?"

"Hey, I was just trying to be helpful. If you don't appreciate it, then just leave."

The bartender waved his hand impatiently, but the muscles in his left hand were unusually tense, revealing a huge spiked club hidden under the bar.

Nolan chuckled, resting his chin on his hand and saying, "Leave? You're willing to let us go? You've been eyeing us from the very beginning, haven't you? Even if we didn't come looking for you, we still couldn't escape your scheme in the end."

Zinora bit her lip, filled with doubt and suspicion, recalling some of the suspicious points in the report.

The female victims were often robbed and raped when they were handing in quest charms to the Adventurers' Guild and preparing to leave, and their bodies were then abandoned in the wilderness.

No matter how far they go, they will eventually return to the town to resupply before leaving Kentau from the Adventurers' Guild; there is no doubt about that.

Looking back now, it's clear that this man could easily take advantage of the enemy's relaxed state after their campaign to poison them, and succeed very easily.

"I admit your imagination is brilliant, but you're really overthinking things."

The bartender chuckled twice, wiping the glasses. Messiah and Zenora, having largely believed him, stepped back a little.

"It's alright, I was just guessing. But you can confirm my guess by taking a sip of this water."

Nolan blinked, stretched, and yawned, having not slept all night.

Actually, she had a wicked little idea in her heart: even if this kid wasn't the fugitive Salion, she could kill him and take him back and say he had plastic surgery, and no one would know, right?

"Ok."

The bartender shrugged, raised his glass to his lips, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He reached out from under the bar and smashed the silver-haired girl with a spiked club!

boom!

Nolan reacted quickly, taking a small step back with his knight's greatsword, which carried a murky aura, to block the fiery shockwave from the giant club.

Thanks to the blessing aura, his strength and spirit were in no way inferior to his opponent's.

"You little brats think you can take me back? Dream on! Once I strip you naked, you'll see who's in charge here!"

The bartender's smile was sinister; just as the intelligence indicated, he was a level seven Flame Soul Warrior.

"The teacher said that life and death are irrelevant."

Nolan ran his hand across her neck, his smile eerie—a signal that Zinora and Meiruo received.

Ding! Clang!

The demon girl licked her lips. Dark shadows flickered in the bar, constantly launching sneak attacks from blind spots, each strike aimed at vital points, making the spiked club hum. Meanwhile, Nolan's greatsword attacked Salion head-on, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Messiah's voice was soothing, sending a continuous stream of azure notes into the three of them.

In the blink of an eye, the pressure exerted on Salion by the two level-six Soul Warriors was no less than that of a level-seven expert, not to mention the little elf standing next to him, holding a Sunfire Spear high, ready to strike, and constantly talking nonsense.

what happened?

Sweating profusely, Salion was still wondering why these four girls were far superior to those of the same level when he was pierced through the chest by a spear from Chinora.

A glaring light burns the body with intense pain, but a pair of swords slicing across the neck are far more deadly.

Nolan raised his greatsword high and brought it down heavily, taking Salion's head without hesitation.

The bartender stared wide-eyed, dying with his eyes wide open, never understanding where he had gone wrong.

"Phew, mission accomplished. Let's go home."

Messiah and Zenora rubbed their shoulders and nodded excitedly.

"I'm going to take a shower first before ordering takeout. Honey, remember to get me a full-body treatment, love you!"

"No, I need to wash it first, my hair is practically moldy!"

"Dream on! Whoever grabs it gets to keep it!"

The four of them walked towards the Adventurers' Guild. The hustle and bustle was everywhere, which made Mei Ruo very envious.

Perhaps one day, she too can have a friend like that...

The AFK mentor was completely forgotten; a sexy female teacher in a black stockings and skirt leaned against the outside of the bar, drunkenly sipping federal liquor.

"My existence seems utterly meaningless, no wonder that brat didn't come himself~"

Janna frowned and burped.

After retiring, she mentored many new students, and quite a few of them, like Zinora, were timid and hesitant.

Being afraid is not shameful. Not everyone is born as good at taking lives as a demon, and there are even worse ones.

Some students were so terrified by the reality of this world as soon as they entered the alternate dimension that they wet themselves in fear. Others even managed to commit suicide under the watchful eyes of their mentors, and before any rescue could be carried out, they were already reporting to the Grim Reaper.

But no expedition team has ever had such a great debut.

The only time the secretary-general wanted to intervene was because he was frightened by the corrupted little princess and couldn't help but want to save those bumpkins from the original plane.

Is it because of their background and talent?

No, that's only part of the reason. These kids adapt too quickly; they were born to play by the rules of another dimension.

That said, Nolan himself has limited talent, but he is surrounded by terrifying people. In comparison, the demon girl cursed by the devil seems quite ordinary.

Is this a coincidence or an inevitability?

Perhaps only scholars who study mysticism, or the apostles of the three Fates, can answer this question.

Janna smiled and followed.

She suddenly felt that this year's unremarkable class monitor would lead the perennial bottom-ranked Firevine to cause some big stir.

As the four entered the Adventurers' Guild, the staff and wandering adventurers looked at them curiously.

Everyone knew that a few uninvited guests had arrived in the Red Land. The brawl in the bar made the group of beautiful girls famous in town. Soon after, the bandits who called themselves mercenaries disappeared.

Who knew that the four girls would return, but the Double-Edged Sword Mercenary Group would not?

112. Raising a Beautiful Girl

The first expedition to the Throne of Chaos was a complete success. After passing through the portal constructed by the Kentau plane and returning to the guild, Nolan led the three of them to the next room to deliver the commission.

Weekends are the busiest time at the Saint Lenza Adventurers' Guild campus branch, with countless expedition teams coming and going.

Many trainees, fully armed and ready to set off after accepting the bounty, were also returning in tattered clothes, so none of the others recognized the four vagrants.

This was the most miserable day ever for the Starry Night Diva and the Elf Princess since they were born, bar none.

Nolan warmly invited the highly promising Mei Ruo to join the Throne of Chaos, and the demon girl shyly agreed. Afterwards, they said goodbye and went back to their dormitories to rest.

As for the completion status of the project, it needs to be reported to the student union under the evaluation of the supervisor.

A small D-level task is nothing, but as more Chaos Throne expeditions return victorious, the guild can upgrade and unlock C-level tasks, followed by B-level tasks, and even A-level raids that only top-tier expeditions can participate in.

Looking at their clean and presentable classmates on Golden Avenue, and then at their own disheveled appearance, the three idiots felt as if they had lived through another world.

It was late afternoon, and dusk was approaching.

Only half a day had passed in Iselan, but the four of them had been fighting a bloody battle in the no-man's-land for a whole day and night without closing their eyes.

Even with my eyes closed, the bloody and tragic scenes on the Kentao red soil remain vivid in my memory.

Fortunately, the Messiah did not see what happened after the eclipse, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been in the mood for dinner.

Zino stretched and gently took Nolan's hand.

The little princess appeared as quiet as usual, but a hint of dark fire flickered in her clear eyes, as if she were about to engulf her golden pupils and usher in a solar eclipse.

The more obedient a woman is, the more terrifying she can be when she becomes stubborn.

Only then did Her Highness truly become a follower of Chaos, taking a significant step towards the Witch's Plan.

The original plane is merely a stepping stone...

Dragging their battered bodies back to the girls' dormitory in the Crystal Campus, the three of them smelled a strange odor as soon as they opened the door, but they didn't care. All they wanted to do was lie in the bathtub and never come out.

"Ah, welcome back!"

Maid Long greeted them with some questionable dishes, covering her nose and chuckling as she looked at her three roommates in surprise.

"This is......"

"It's a long story."

Nolan scratched the back of his head; he had to order another set of school uniforms.

Next time, we should prepare some combat equipment. Lin Dichen and Yelu's bodysuits are quite good. Messiah and Zenora would look very alluring in them.

Messiah was too tired to speak and tried to sneak into the bathroom, but was grabbed by the waist by Chinora.

"I go first!"
