After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

“That’s right!” The white-haired girl gently tapped her chin, her tone filled with excitement: “This is our Demon King! The real deal! He only took less than an hour to completely corrupt the legendary proudest moon elf! She’s currently fantasizing about being pinned to the table by the Demon King, making those 'hoarse' sounds!”

As she spoke, the girl's long, thin tail hooked onto a banana in a passing waiter's plate, wrapping around it again and again until the banana was crushed. Still unsatisfied, she continued to wrap her tail around her waist, her gaze fixed intently on the black-haired boy below.

"Selena, do you think this is something a hero could do?"

The purple-haired woman shook her head without hesitation.

"No! This is something even the most powerful lustful demons in the abyss could never do! Only the Demon King... only the Demon King could achieve this!"

As she spoke, Selena licked her full, sensual lips, her gaze burning as she stared at the black-haired boy below: "Since he is our Demon King, shouldn't we take him back to the Abyss now?"

"No!"

Under Selena's questioning gaze, Lilith extended a slender, pale finger and waved it.

“Selena, since the Demon Lord did not return to the Abyss but remained in the human realm, he must have his reasons. If we take him back, it may affect his plans.”

"Moreover, the aura that the Demon King just emitted indicates that he is already aware of our presence."

Selena nodded in agreement and asked, "So what should we do?"

"Of course... it's to help the Demon King find a few loyal slaves!"

Lilith gracefully raised her right hand, and the tail wrapped around her waist loosened, its heart-shaped tip pointing downwards at the cloaked elf girl:

"Since the Demon King has such a fondness for slaves, we must help him find a suitable one. After all, the Demon King is currently in his weakest state. If we make a mistake and choose a slave who is not loyal enough, and who repays our kindness with enmity in the future, then that will be our responsibility."

Selena was somewhat indignant: "How is it our responsibility?"

Lilith glanced at Selena and retorted, "How could it be that the Demon Lord misjudged? The Demon Lord is never wrong!"

"..."

Selena blushed and was unable to refute him for a moment.

She snorted from her nostrils and said, "Then I'll pick a few great demons from the abyss?"

Lilith scoffed, "How could the Demon Lord possibly deign to look down on such worthless trash? Besides, you're letting the Demon Lord wander around human territory with demon slaves—are you trying to kill the Demon Lord?"

Selena remained silent.

They can transform into the appearance of other races, and even professionals above the ninth rank cannot see through their disguises.

But... this is the first time she has ever seen the Demon King since she was born. Serving the Demon King and doing his work is one thing, but to be the Demon King's slave... she is still somewhat unwilling.

Lilith tacitly avoided bringing up the topic.

“Perfect timing. There are two little ones in this small town. Selena, you go back and report to the Mother of All Demons. I'll keep an eye on things here.”

Selena looked at the white-haired girl suspiciously: "Lilith, why am I the one going back? You don't mean to...?"

"Selena, what kind of demon do you take me for?"

Lilith let out a soft laugh, her full breasts rising and falling slightly with the sound, causing the light in that space to seem to ripple.

"Although he is the Demon King, with his current power, he is not qualified to be my master."

"Besides, you're too impulsive. If this place is left to you, can you take responsibility for any mistakes that happen?"

Selena muttered to herself, "You're just a succubus... Fine, for the sake of the Demon King, I'll listen to you this time."

Chapter Eleven: Does Miss Elf Want to Be Mu Qiu's Dog?

At this moment, Mu Qiu and Vera also arrived at the guild's front desk.

Behind the counter sat a young woman with glasses and a neat short haircut, who was tidying up a thick stack of parchment documents.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and immediately put on a warm smile.

"Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild. How can I help you two?"

"I'd like to buy some equipment." Mu Qiu got straight to the point: "I heard that the guild recently received a batch of equipment from the Crimson Thorn Adventurer Group. I'd like to see some mage-type equipment, preferably top-tier gear."

The receptionist's smile faltered slightly, her gaze sweeping over Mu Qiu almost imperceptibly, a knowing glint in her eyes.

The black-haired youth was impeccably dressed, with a calm and extraordinary demeanor. His hands showed no calluses from years of practice or labor, clearly indicating that he was not an ordinary adventurer, but rather a pampered nobleman.

Another young nobleman coming to hunt for equipment...

The receptionist sighed inwardly, adjusted her glasses, and maintained her smile.

"We did receive quite a bit of the equipment that the Crimson Thorn Adventurer Group had deposited."

"However, according to the guild's rules and the requirements of the leader of the Crimson Thorn Adventurer Group, two conditions need to be met to purchase this batch of stored equipment."

Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow: "Conditions?"

"Yes." The receptionist took out two registration books from under the counter and a quill pen. "First, buyers must register their identity with the guild... By the way, if I may ask, is this your first time visiting the guild?"

Mu Qiu nodded: "Yes, it's my first time at the Adventurers' Guild, both for me and my companion."

"companion……"

Beneath the cloak, Vera pursed her lips and subconsciously took half a step closer to Mu Qiu.

"Then, please complete your registration here." The receptionist nodded gently, pushed a thicker registration book and pen in front of Mu Qiu, and smiled, "After you complete the registration, I will issue you both the badge of a new adventurer."

Mu Qiu looked down at the register on the counter.

Code name, age, gender, permanent address...

Besides this basic information, what remains is professional information.

Below the job information, there is a line of small print that reads:

Dear Adventurer, your registered class information with this guild will never be disclosed to others without your permission.

If you are still concerned about this, you can refuse to fill in your professional information, but this will cause some obstacles when you accept certain missions, recruit teammates, or join other teams.

[In addition, when a guild issues an urgent quest, it may seek out adventurers with specific class abilities to complete the quest.]

We recommend that you at least fill in your professional level and career direction. If you have unique professional skills, you can also fill them in on the register.

After a moment's thought, Mu Qiu decided not to fill in his occupational information for the time being.

After all, he currently does not have any job.

If I had to name one... I'd say slave owners were one?

But this definitely can't be filled in the occupation information, right?

As for the code name field, you can fill in your real name or a code name. However, new adventurers are not allowed to use overly exaggerated code names, nor can they give themselves a title.

After thinking it over, Mu Qiu filled in the code name "Shepherd" and then handed the pen to Vera beside him.

Vera looked at the code name Mu Qiu had filled in, holding the quill pen. The first word that popped into her mind was...

"The shepherd's dog?"

The elven girl's cheeks flushed slightly.

Isn't this code name a little too vulgar?

But the owner must have chosen this code name because he wanted her to also have a code name that corresponded to a shepherd, right?

Besides, her future fate is to be pressed down in different places by her owner every day and make whining noises, which is not much different from that of a puppy, right?

But... but it's still too direct, I just can't bring myself to write it.

If one day she returns to the forest, and the other elves curiously ask her, "Vera! Vera! We heard you went to the Adventurers' Guild, what was your code name there?"

She couldn't very well say, "It's that shepherd's dog—"

No matter how you look at it, you absolutely can't say such a thing, right?

So... to avoid getting yourself killed, you need to at least come up with a code name that seems normal when separated from your master's code name, but can also be used to declare your loyalty to your master when combined with their nickname!

"Ah...I've got it!"

A name flashed through Vera's mind.

Yes, this is it!

She wrote her code in the register and then handed the register to the receptionist across the street.

The receptionist skillfully took two white porcelain badges from the drawer and handed them over, while also taking the register and glancing at the names on it: "Okay, Mr. Shepherd, and this... Miss Sheep?"

Even the receptionist, who was used to seeing all sorts of strange names, couldn't help but look up at Mu Qiu and the silver-haired girl in the hooded cloak behind him when she saw the combination of these two names.

Do young couples these days have such elaborate ideas for fun?

One is called the shepherd, and the other is called the sheep.

Do you guys usually play master-servant games?

Upon hearing the code name Vera used, Mu Qiu's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Mr. Shepherd and Miss Sheep?

Hmm... thank goodness she didn't choose a nickname like "sheepdog".

Suppressing the subtle feelings in his heart, Mu Qiu continued to ask, "What about the second condition?"

The receptionist put away the registration book, her smile unwavering: "The second condition is that the buyer must present their adventurer's badge to prove they have the strength to match the equipment of that level."

She pointed to the white porcelain badge that Mu Qiu had just received: "If you are a newly registered adventurer, you will need to take a strength test."

"Specifically, if you want to purchase gold-grade mage equipment, the mage conducting the test must have a magic power level of at least 'peak bronze' or 'silver'. To purchase orthogonal-grade equipment, the tester needs to reach the 'peak silver' or 'gold' level... Of course, we still recommend that you purchase equipment of the same level."

"This is a strict rule, the purpose of which is to ensure that the equipment can play its due role. If the user is not strong enough and forcibly controls high-level equipment, it will not only be wasteful, but may also endanger the user's life."

Mu Qiu's heart stirred.

So, with Vera's current silver-level magic power, she can only buy gold-level equipment.

Speaking of which, he also has 100 points of magic power in his body. I wonder what level that is equivalent to?

The receptionist paused for a moment, then added, "The test is very simple. The guild has magic crystals and dummy puppets specifically for testing. The test results will be recorded and used as proof of eligibility to purchase."

"Then arrange a test for us."

Mu Qiu immediately spoke up.

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman with long flaxen hair, wearing the guild's standard vest, walked over from the corner with a gentle smile on her face: "Gentlemen, I am Elena, the guild's receptionist. If you wish to take the strength test, please follow me."

With that, Elena led the two into a room inside the guild.

Here are several crystal pillars of different colors, as well as several dummy puppets engraved with runes.

Elena pointed to a metallic-looking mannequin in the center of the room and explained, "The assessment of a mage's level below the fourth rank is mainly based on destructive power. Miss Sheep, please cast your strongest single-target attack spell on that combat mannequin. The runes on the mannequin will automatically record and assess the attack strength, and the level will be determined by combining the magic fluctuations."

Vera nodded slightly, her cool gaze from under her hood locking onto the mannequin. Her fair fingers extended from under the cloak, quickly and precisely drawing several runes in the air that emitted an emerald glow.

This is a unique natural magic casting method of the Elven race, which is faster and more concealed than the spell chanting of human mages.

"Thorn Piercing!"

Vera silently prayed to herself.

A solid, emerald-green thorn spear, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, instantly materialized in front of her, piercing the metal dummy's chest with a piercing whistle.

"Pfft——!"

A dull thud was heard.

The thorn spear left a clear dent in the dummy's chest, and the energy from the shattered thorns scattered in all directions. The runes engraved on the dummy instantly lit up, their light swirling as they rapidly analyzed the energy intensity and magical properties contained in the attack.

Elena looked at the color and intensity of the light reflected from the runes on the dummy, and felt the residual magical fluctuations in the air. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The purity of this magic was very high, and it was a nature-based magic that was extremely rare among human adventurers. Its attack strength was also quite impressive. She quickly wrote down her assessment on the record board in her hand.

"Magic strength: Silver rank 1".

"Magic attribute: Nature type".

"Destructive power: Silver level 1." Elena announced the result and smiled, "Miss Sheep, you are qualified to purchase gold-level mage equipment. Of course, with your current strength, silver-level equipment may be more suitable for you."

Vera withdrew her hand, her expression softening slightly beneath her cloak.

Even though her master had lifted the spell ban on her, she was still unable to cast powerful spells due to her long-term depletion of magical energy. The most basic nature spell she had just used was already her limit.
