The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Okay, sir." The receptionist pushed a small card over: "Please fill in the information and pay a registration fee of one silver coin."

The currency used in the Olmec Kingdom and even throughout the continent is gold, silver, and copper, a common coin system in Western fantasy worlds.

The ratio of each level of currency to the next lower level is 1:100.

For ordinary people, a single silver coin is a considerable sum, enough to cover the food expenses of a family of three for a month (assuming two meals per person per day).

In ancient times on Earth, there were also two meals a day. Only nobles and landlords had the luxury of enjoying three meals a day.

The registration fee of one silver coin is just right. It can prevent some people with no skills from registering as adventurers, but it will not create too much of an obstacle for those who really want to become adventurers.

Gray took a silver coin out of his purse and placed it on the counter. He then quickly filled out the basic information.

After registering his identity information, the receptionist handed Gray a small card.

This is the Adventurer Card, which represents an adventurer's identity.

The card is rectangular in shape, a moderate size, and easy to carry and view. It is made of durable, leather-textured paper, offering some wear resistance and water resistance.

The card's edges are decorated with simple silver lines, adding a touch of sophistication. The overall color scheme is predominantly dark blue and black, accented with silver, creating a look that is both composed and vibrant.

The card contains basic information such as the adventurer's name, class, race, gender, and adventure rank.

Grabbing the adventurer card, Gray sensed a faint magical energy flowing within it. Using this energy to enhance his senses, Gray saw the card's inner design through its surface.

This familiar design...

Is the combination of magic and physical technology the work of Iota?

Gray wasn't surprised by this.

He has imparted all his scientific and technological knowledge from his previous life to Aieta. This girl is a true scientific genius, and she is most skilled at creating things that integrate magic and technology.

Unlike the other Ten Shadows, Iota doesn't wander around. He stays in the laboratory in the orchard, inventing new products, which he seems to have sold to a trading company.

These small cards are very convenient, displaying information about available quests and automatically increasing adventure rank after completing a certain number of quests. They have been adopted by adventurer guilds across the continent.

Adventurer ranks are divided into eight levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Supreme, and King.

The newly registered Gray was only at the Bronze level, but Gray only wanted an adventurer's identity; his level didn't matter.

Meanwhile, an adventurer team came to the reception desk to accept a quest, and several of the burly men noticed the stunningly beautiful woman behind Gray.

The burly men's eyes widened immediately; a beauty of this caliber wasn't someone you could just stumble upon.

Seeing that Sita was only accompanied by a pretty boy, the burly men immediately had an idea.

Although this pretty boy might be a noble young master, their adventurer group consists entirely of platinum-level adventurers, so they're not afraid of offending a minor nobleman.

"Hey, beautiful." A burly man immediately approached and struck up a conversation: "Our adventurer group is short one person, want to join us?"

The burly man approached Sita with a lewd and malicious gaze, even reaching out to pat her on the shoulder.

Sita dodged backward, avoiding the burly man's lewd actions. Her dark pupils seemed to be stained with blood, and a terrifying killing intent was suppressed in her cold eyes.

The receptionist was stunned.

Good heavens, how dare they be disrespectful to Lord Theta!

The receptionist silently sentenced the burly man to death.

Seeing the look in Theta's eyes, Gray marveled at the classic plot twist.

Well, adventurers are actually of very varying quality, and you occasionally encounter people like that.

Lord Shadow, may I kill them?

That's definitely what Sita's eyes meant.

Gray had no choice but to grab Sita's delicate little hand to comfort her, conveying the message that "it's not appropriate to do this here, let's go somewhere else."

The waitress was stunned to see Gray grab Sita's hand and Sita offer no resistance.

That Lady Sita actually let a man hold her hand?

She recalled the leader of the Shadow Court, who was also the only male in the Shadow Court, Lord Shadow. She had once had the honor of seeing his majestic figure in black robes, which immediately ruled out Gray as the correct answer to Lord Shadow.

Impossible! How could Lord Shadow be such a pretty boy? But if it's not Lord Shadow, then why is it Lord Theta...?

Gray sensed the urgent pressure on Theta's hands.

Anyway, the matter is already settled, so let's just let her be.

Gray obediently let Sita pull him out of the Adventurers' Guild. The burly man didn't stop Sita from leaving; instead, he accepted a quest at the reception desk before leaving the Adventurers' Guild...

The two left the town and found a deserted place. As soon as Gray sat down on a rock, a dozen or so figures surrounded them from all directions.

"Hey, little girl, you've really found a convenient place for us to get started." The burly man who had dared to flirt with Sita at the Adventurers' Guild earlier rubbed his hands together and sneered.

"Little girl, raise your hands and surrender now, and I might be a little gentler with you later, okay?"

Sita was already itching to go on a killing spree, but Gray calmly tried to cool her down.

"Be swift and decisive."

After saying that, Gray gave up and stopped caring.

"Hey little girl, hopefully you'll be just as stubborn when you scream later," the burly man taunted with his classic trash talk.

In a daze, the burly man felt an endless chill emanating from Xita, as if he were being targeted by some ferocious monster.

Before the burly man could even realize something was wrong, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his groin, losing a leg and passing out.

The others only saw Sita's figure suddenly disappear, and then the burly men fell down one by one, some fainting, and others crawling on the ground clutching their genitals, convulsing and howling in pain.

Gray felt unwell and a chill ran down his spine.

After witnessing these men have their third leg crippled, I inexplicably felt a pang of sympathy for them myself...

Feeling scared...

Sita then went forward and kicked those who hadn't yet fainted a few more times until everyone passed out.

Sita turned around and saw the twitching expression on Gray's face. After a moment's thought, she spoke:

"Sita is only loyal to Lord Shadow. Lord Shadow can do whatever he wants with Sita."

Gray still couldn't get used to Theta's daily expressionless and outrageous remarks.

The two stood frozen for a moment. Gray forgot the inexplicable chill he had felt earlier and lifted Sita up in his arms, while Sita remained expressionless but full of anticipation...

"Alright, let's continue on our way."
