The Hero in Exile

"Now that you mention it, I remember one."

Eve opened one of the many cupboards behind her and began to search. Lingyu then discovered that the wall behind her was filled with cupboards instead of decorations.

"It's too exaggerated." Lingyu couldn't help but exclaim.

"You are the only one looking here? Are you kidding me?" Moran looked dull, then looked at Eve with a look of disbelief, "Your ability is terrifying enough."

"Thank you for the compliment." Eve said calmly. She didn't take it too seriously because she was serious about her work. "This kind of thing is normal. I'm used to it."

Eve quickly moved between the closets, opening and closing them, searching. Each one contained a thick stack of documents, and the one they needed was the one they needed.

Finally, he pulled out a pedal from an inconspicuous closet and placed it on the table in front of Lingyu and Moran.

"Sorry for the wait." He took out a newer piece of paper and handed it to Moran. "There are many such private commissions here, but due to security reasons and uncertainty about the employer's true purpose, few people will take them."

"I don't care what he does as long as he gets paid."

"show me."

Lingyu stood on tiptoe to see the power of attorney in Moran's hand clearly, but she could only see a part of it. She almost forgot that this person was only about 1.5 meters tall. According to her own height, Moran was definitely 1.8 meters tall. At this time, Lingyu finally felt the pain of being short.

"Hey, I told you to put it down and show me two eyes." Lingyu was angry at Moran, and tried his best to restrain himself from taking out the holy sword.

Lingyu stared into Moran's eyes, while Moran deliberately showed an expression of "Oh, so that's how it is", and read the power of attorney and completely ignored Lingyu.

"Mr. Moran really knows how to joke." Eve broke the awkwardness and spoke.

"If you ask me, this guy is only good at making such a cheap and bad joke." Lingyu mocked Moran angrily, and then sat down on the wooden chair at the front desk angrily. "Please give me a cup of hot milk."

"Yes, I'll get it for you right away."

After confirming that Lingyu would not disturb him most likely, Moran put aside his pretentious attitude and did not intend to continue teasing her. He smoothed out the order form before preparing to check it.

Lingyu next to her looked at the glass of milk in front of her boredly, and touched the surface of the glass with her fingers, it was warm.

He raised the glass and drank half of it in one gulp.

"Slurp, ha, so refreshing." The warm current spread throughout the body after entering the mouth. The sudden heat also made Lingyu shiver. She stroked her belly with her hand and showed a happy expression. "I didn't expect that there is milk here. I am so lucky."

"It's just an ordinary drink, not as exaggerated as you say."

"I just feel a little emotional because I haven't had it for so long." Lingyu stared at the remaining milk in her hand.

It's also very ordinary.

I didn’t care before.

"Ahem." Lingyu coughed lightly, trying to hide her expression just now. Moran should have almost finished reading. "You should have finished reading after reading for so long. There are only so many words on it. Don't tell me you can't read and need me to read to you..."

I've been talking to myself for so long but there's still no response from the other end.

Moran's brows were tightly knitted together, and the hand holding the paper was trembling slightly. Although his expression was strange, one could still see extreme anger in his eyes.

This is the first time I've seen this expression after following Moran for so long.

Lingyu gradually became more and more curious about the contents on the paper.

"What exactly is written on it?" Lingyu grabbed it from Moran's hand. Unexpectedly, it was taken off easily. I thought it would take some effort. "Wow, the bonus is quite large."

In the lower right corner, it says: Participants: 10 silver coins. Caught: 1 gold coin.

If you want to know how many silver coins you can earn by hunting slimes for an afternoon, you should go and see for yourself what is so expensive.

Capture escaped demon slaves.

Lingyu looked at it again to make sure her eyes were not mistaken.

Lingyu continued to read the following content.

After reading it, I understood the general meaning. The one who sent this commission was a slave owner. He would start auctioning some slaves the day after tomorrow, and the escaped demon was one of them. However, what Lingyu was more concerned about was that these slaves were called: goods.

No wonder Moran was so angry.

"It's a bit sudden to say this, but I hope I can go to his side now." Moran walked straight to the door before Lingyu could react.

"Why are you walking so fast? I'll hurt you if I do." He drank the rest of the milk in his hand and rushed out to chase Moran.

"Hey, the milk hasn't been paid yet." Looking at Lingyu running away, he felt a pang of pain in his heart, "I'm going to deduct my salary again."

Opening a brand new wallet and looking at the inside which was almost cleaner than her face, Eve fell into deep thought.
