The annoying bugs are in a state where they can't get any leverage.
The leader smiled grimly, jumped up and slapped Noita.
A strong wind blew in her face, and Noita's hand that was not holding the sword was clenched in the air. The air condensed into blocks for her to use as leverage. The girl kicked her feet, twisted her body like a flying bird, and lightly avoided the leader's slap.
As the spiritual energy was consumed further, cracks spread along the unstable structure of the floor, causing the cracked floor to explode, bricks and stones scattered all over the ground, leaving a large hole directly connected to the first floor.
The leader slammed into the hole, with his upper body stuck on the second floor and his lower body hanging on the first floor.
Noita seized the opportunity and stabbed out with a swift sword. Frost burst out and froze the leader. No experience value message popped up in the log, so Noita stabbed him through the heart with another sword.
Kill the leader of the Rango Society and gain 9600 experience points.
Death was like a pause button, instantly stopping the leader's power, and his immense rage flowed freely along with the blood in his heart.
“Damn it…”
The violent form disappeared with death, and the leader's burly figure shrank back to its original size. He fell straight to the first floor, no longer so terrifying and hideous.
He will never get stuck in a hole again.
Noita summoned a ball of fire and set the room on fire. The raging flames spread instantly, dancing wildly on the papers and curtains, gnawing at every corner of the room.
When the people outside heard the sound of fire, their expressions changed drastically and they wanted to rush in, but were forced back by the raging fire.
Gang members shouted for help but the fire was difficult to put out.
Noita had already gone far away and was not worried about the fire.
The psychic fire would only affect one house, burning away all traces of her battle before automatically extinguishing itself.
If there are any important documents in the house, I just hope Rango can rescue them in time.
As for the future development of the Rango Club, unless something unexpected happens, they will no longer have any contact with each other.
When a person dies, his debts are settled, and that’s the end of it.
Chapter 12 Adele
Noita thought about killing all the members of the Rango Club, but after some thought, he felt that this was too cruel and not necessary.
She wasn't some devil after all.
—and mortals can’t provide her with combat experience.
The leader of the Rango Society provided Noita with 9600 experience points, which was far more than the Shadow of the Quiet Forest.
This is not because the leader of the Rango Guild is stronger than Shadow of the Quiet Forest, but because the experience gained from defeating and killing is different. If killing one person can gain the full experience, then defeating him can only gain one tenth of the experience value.
The sky was dark, and although it was not yet curfew, there were not many people on the streets.
Noita was walking aimlessly when she suddenly stopped in front of a familiar house.
This is a historic, three-story house, a classic, elven-style structure. Wisteria cascades down the white balconies, covering the exterior walls like a waterfall, then parting at the latticed windows, obscuring the window frames. A delicate flower rack sits on the windowsill, where plants are already in full bloom, a dazzling array of colors.
Noita went forward and knocked on the door.
"Stop knocking! Here it comes!"
A tired and irritable voice came from behind the door. The owner of the house trotted over to the door, opened it a crack, and said hurriedly without even seeing the people behind him: "I will definitely give you the money. Please give me a few days. I will definitely collect enough money to pay you back!"
The person who came spoke quickly, and after he finished speaking, he realized that the person knocking on the door was not a debt collector.
The owner of the house is a young girl who looks like she is still in school. She exudes a naiveté and confidence that has never been exposed to society.
She had a graceful figure, fair skin, eyes like gemstones, thin eyebrows, and golden hair that shone brightly in the night. Her first impression was pleasant, but there was an indelible weariness and sadness in her expression, clearly troubled by something.
She lowered her head and asked Noita: "Huh? Who are you?"
"I'm Noita, a traveler who just arrived in Serkar today and I'm looking for a place to stay," Noita said with a beaming smile. "I originally wanted to explore the city, but the long journey and the late hour have left me feeling restless. I happened to come across your house while looking for a place to stay, so I've come to ask for your permission to stay for the night."
"Come in first."
The owner looked outside the door vigilantly. After finding nothing unusual, he removed the door chain and quickly pulled Noita into the house.
The lighting in the room was poor. The light source was a few oil lamps. There was a crystal chandelier hanging above, but it was not turned on.
The girl's gaze first fell on Noita's ears. Her height and pointed ears betrayed her race—a halfling. The clothing she had fashioned from a cyborg robe was striking, but it wasn't uncommon for halflings to wear striking, outlandish clothing. Rather, it was more fitting for their ethnic identity.
That delicate and pretty face doesn't look like a bad guy.
Adele frowned.
But the halfling really has no sense of distance, just like in the story. Although she is so small, she dares to knock on the door of a stranger. Fortunately, I am not a bad person, otherwise she will be sold to the beast's nest tomorrow.
Although she knew that Noita was not a child, her protective instinct and pity made her give in and allow Noita to stay overnight.
"My name is Adele," Adele said carefully. "You can stay here for one night, but there are two conditions. One, you must leave tomorrow morning. Two, stay in your room at night and don't come out no matter what noise you hear... If there is any sound, it's probably a mouse scratching the wall... Can you agree to these two conditions?"
"No problem." Noita agreed to the request without objection. She then asked, "How much is the accommodation fee?"
"No need to pay for accommodation." Adele asked with concern, "Have you had dinner? If not, I have some bread here that you can soak in water."
"Thank you."
Noita did not refuse Adele's dinner invitation. She found the bread according to Adele's description. It tasted good, but it was hard in texture, like chewing flexible paper.
After Noita finished her dinner, Adele took her to a secluded room on the second floor and repeatedly told her not to go out in the middle of the night.
Noita pretended to agree, and when the door closed, she laughed silently.
She walked to the window and looked down from above, quickly locking onto two gang members who seemed to be doing nothing but were actually monitoring the house. Their target was not Noita, but Adele.
You've arrived at Serkar City, a massive city with a history spanning 120 years. This massive city continues to expand, attracting mountain dwellers to migrate here. However, the authority of the Council of Elders doesn't reach every corner. The mountain dwellers, skilled at uniting, have formed cliques and factions, using their tenacious vitality to take over the responsibilities of the Council of Elders.
You solved a problem, but in solving it, you created more trouble for yourself.
You found a villa and successfully stayed there. The owner was facing a crisis. A long-planned conspiracy was about to fall on her head, causing the innocent girl to fall to the bottom.
"wrong."
Noita's smile widened as she browsed the information given in the log.
Adele is not a naive person, maybe she still is naive now, but she only needs a little pressure to burst out with unprecedented pressure and quickly grow into the uncrowned king of Serkar who amazes and fears people.
But the log doesn't know this. Does this mean that this thing can't read my memory?
With a slight diversion of thought, Noita calmly recalled the future she knew.
Adele is a descendant of God.
A descendant of the gods is a human with a significant celestial bloodline, which manifests itself in appearance and other aspects of life. Gem-like pupils and metallic hair are the most common traits. The Gaians believe the birth of a descendant of the gods is a good omen and believe they will achieve great things in the future.
But now, a descendant of God is entangled in gang members.
I have to say, it's a bit strange, but it's exactly what Noita wants.
Adele was originally one of the allies chosen by Noita, but now that she is in trouble, perhaps the form of alliance can be changed. After all, tribute is also a higher form of alliance.
Noita waited in the room, looking for an opportunity.
Soon, she got her chance.
In the dead of night, strange and shrill noises were heard around the house, like nails scratching on a blackboard, or the evil laughter of a ghost in a horror story.
Adele, who was writing furiously under the oil lamp, gritted her teeth and plugged her ears with cotton balls to block out the distractions.
But this sound has a very strong penetrating power, and the sound insulation effect of the cotton ball is better than nothing.
Disturbed by the strange noise, Adele lost the mood to write and lay on the table, covering her ears in worry.
She has been worried about this every day for the past two weeks - there are always gang members harassing her residence, using methods including but not limited to smashing windows, making noise, and making up rumors.
But suddenly, the sound stopped.
Adele frowned and looked outside the door. Her intuition told her that someone was walking in the corridor and heading towards her room.
She immediately pulled a musket from a drawer and pointed it at the door, her finger on the trigger, holding her breath, ready to fire at any moment. This was a gift from her father, and it was deadly at close range.
The pitch-black night surrounded the room where the lights were still on. Adele held a musket, intending to fight the invading monster to the death.
She really looks like a warrior.
There was a sudden loud knock on the door, and Adele was so scared that she pulled the trigger.
The musket fired with a loud bang, and the powerful bullet, propelled by gunpowder, shot through the wooden door and disappeared into the silent darkness.
Noita, who was behind the door, looked up at the bullet hole above his head from which light was shooting out, his face expressionless.
If she had been any taller, she would have been hit by the bullet.
"It's me, Noita, your tenant."
"Ah? Oh!"
The girl behind the door opened it in a panic. She then remembered that there was a guest at home today.
"Sorry, sorry, I've been very anxious lately and can't control myself well. The sound I just heard was the movement of a mouse. Please ignore it."
Adele came out to apologize, her eyes and hair emitting a moon-white glow.
Suddenly, Adele's pupils dilated and she looked at the thing behind Noita in disbelief.
The halfling guest was dragging a blood-stained adult male, and the warm yellow light in the bedroom illuminated the winding bloodstains along the way.
Adele was about to scream, but she immediately realized that the person being dragged like a mop was the one who made the noise every night. She covered her mouth tightly to prevent any sound from leaking out.
But this was just an attempt to cover up the truth. The loud gunshots had already spread in the quiet night.
Noita let go of the gangster, slowly walked into the bedroom and sat down, asking knowingly, "Who is this guy? I heard the annoying noise he made while I was resting, and I couldn't help but beat him up. He shouldn't be your servant. And I'm very sorry for not obeying your instructions and leaving."
Noita's tone was gentle and soft, calming Adele's nervousness, which was pounding along with her heart.
Adele glanced at the man, whose life or death was unknown, and said, "No, thank you for helping me solve a problem."
"Just consider it as accommodation fee."
Adele looked at Noita's appearance again and found features that she had not seen before.
The halfling lady sat upright. While her clothing was unusual, she maintained a meticulously groomed appearance, even to the point of being spotless. Even after beating the men sent by the Kaza Brotherhood to a bloody pulp, she remained unstained. Her figure was so slender that one wondered if she was eating properly, but her instantly apparent confidence made one feel she could handle anything.
Her body is well-proportioned, her skin is not as yellow-brown as other halflings, and she wears shoes on her feet. She is a unique halfling.
No, you can't think so.
Stereotype influence is bad.
Adele warned herself in her heart, but as her mind turned, she felt that Noita looked more like an elf cub than a halfling, but it was impossible for such a small elf to travel alone.
"Does it look good?" Neuta asked Adele with a smile, which made Adele shy. She nodded and then shook her head frantically.
She thought her observations were secret.
What she didn't know was that no matter how secretive the observation was, it would be marked in the log as "Someone is observing you."
Noita moved her ears and heard the sound of heavy footsteps. She jumped out of bed, which scared Adele, who thought her observation had offended Noita.
But Noita walked around her and sat on the desk to observe the downstairs.
In the distance, a dozen people holding torches were coming. The torches reflected their aggressive and menacing appearance, and they were coming with ill intentions.
"It seems you are in a lot of trouble."
Noita held her head high, her well-proportioned legs crossed, her posture seemed to see through everything.
She asked, "How did you offend the local gang?"
"A few days ago, a potted plant that was fixed in place somehow fell off the balcony and hit someone from the Kaza Brotherhood. They've been demanding compensation time and time again, and the amount has been getting bigger and bigger. I don't have the money to pay," Adele said dejectedly. "My parents haven't contacted me in six months. Some people say they're dead. A while ago, because they couldn't pay their salaries, the servants stole the valuables from the house and ran away."
"?"
Neuta was surprised by Adele's frankness. She met Adele by chance and told her everything about her family situation.
I don’t know whether to say Adele is stupid or naive now.
In Adele's personal biography that Noita knew, the first half was similar to what Adele said. The blind gang intended to blackmail Adele's property and force her to hand over the house, but because the coercion was too severe, Adele was so anxious that she set fire and poisoned them all on a dark and windy night and killed them all.
Because of this night raid, Adele rose rapidly as if she had gained enlightenment. She mastered various conspiracies and schemes, defeated countless enemies, and eventually became the uncrowned king of Serkar City, known as Lady Raven.
It can be said that the Kaza Brotherhood has single-handedly created a big daddy for all the gangs in Serkar.
But biography is biography, and Noita didn't know that Adele's early character was so holy, soft and delicious.
But innocence has its advantages. Now we can adjust our strategy and tease this little girl.
Noita knocked on the table, attracting Adele's attention.
