As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

In order to save her head, the poster girl sacrificed all her belongings and prayed madly for Roy's safety as if she had lost her soul, but at this moment, people's shouts were heard in the distance.

"Master Roy is back!"

"After all, with Mr. Gray following us, ordinary monsters are no match for us..."

The poster girl rushed out at a speed that left all the adventurers dumbfounded. When she saw Roy return safely, her heart was finally at ease and tears burst out like a dam breaking.

"Woooaaaaaaaaaaaa! Master Roy! I'm so glad you're okay!"

Suddenly a woman ran out and burst into tears. If you didn't know, you would think she was trying to blackmail you.

After hearing the other party's words, Roy was also somewhat moved.

I never thought this person would show such concern for me, a person I only met once! What a kind person!

The poster girl finally stopped crying and managed a smile of relief: "That's great, it seems you didn't encounter the alien ogre!"

"I'm sorry! This is my fault. Master Roy, please..."

"Oh, you know what, we actually met." Roy replied with a smile.

The poster girl froze in place, her heart almost stopping.

Encountering such danger, even if Roy had a good temper, he would probably bear a grudge against her! Being targeted by the Marquis's son was like dying ten times only once!

"But don't worry, that thing has been taken care of."

"Ugh?"

The poster girl, who was almost frightened to death, came back to her senses because of the boy's nonchalant answer.

"Done? Could it be that, Master, you defeated the alien ogre!?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

Roy found it a little funny, and then took out two bloody ogre heads from the storage ring.

The adventurers who had originally not paid attention to this side now looked over and were all stunned.

The Alien Ogre is a Sequence 7 monster, stronger than a typical dragon! This kind of monster should either be handed over to the military or require the combined efforts of several top-tier adventurer teams to defeat.

"Master Roy is so strong?!"

"No, no, no, aren't [Guardian Angel] and [Gray] following us?"

"Even so, it's ridiculous that three people fought against this monster without any casualties!"

After confirming that it was the head of the alien ogre, the poster girl breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears of joy again.

Since this monster posed no threat to Roy, he naturally would not blame himself for his dereliction of duty.

"Woooooaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Master Roy! You are amazing!"

After that, the poster girl treated Roy as enthusiastically as if he were her savior, and settled Roy's wages first.

Gray, the senior, refused to accept a single gold coin. He was already ashamed that the people around him were taking the credit for killing the alien ogre.

Coupled with the thought of his previous contempt and rudeness towards Roy, as well as his own arrogance as a senior, Gray now wished he could find a hole to crawl into. How could he have the nerve to accept the payment?

Roy, who was unaware of the two's guilty conscience, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He could only sigh that Viszea's culture and customs were impenetrable.

There are still many good people in the world!

All in all, the boy's first memorable adventurer mission was successfully completed.

As the son of a marquis, Roy was naturally not short of money. He was too lazy to bring back a big bag of gold coins, so he simply held a banquet, booked the whole place, and invited everyone present to have a big meal.

This naturally caused another round of cheers.

Compared to the elegant and refined respect of the nobles and the warm and sincere love of the people, the cheers of the casual adventurers have a different flavor.

"Young Master is magnanimous!" "Young Master is mighty!" "Young Master is awesome!"

"Master Roy is my father from now on!"

"What a beautiful thought!"

Although the guild was not rebuilt, its basic functions are still intact.

Wine, meat and food were placed one after another on the makeshift wooden table. The adventurers laughed freely in the evening breeze. The atmosphere was warm and lively, giving it a feeling similar to the barbecue stall in Roy's previous life.

I'm used to the banquets of the nobility, so it's not bad to have a meal like this once in a while.

In this slightly noisy but not unpleasant atmosphere, Roy ate the fragrant barbecue skewers while checking what he had really gained from this trip.

[Pseudo Bloodline]

[Iron Blood] Sequence 8:

[Weapon Projection Intermediate]: Can project steel weapons and multiple iron weapons simultaneously. Projection speed is increased.

[Iron Bones Intermediate Level]: Physical defense is further enhanced, and the defense is comparable to that of fine steel.

[Low Level Qi and Blood Condensation]: Condenses Qi and blood, temporarily increasing attack power or defense power.

There's nothing much to say about [Weapon Projection] and [Iron Bones], they just enhance their original abilities.

Fine steel weapons are naturally a level higher than iron weapons. In fact, Alice's sword is made of fine steel. If it has enough extraordinary power, it can even break through the scales of low-level dragons.

As for [Iron Bones], it's just a bit more durable. But then again, true and false bloodlines can be used simultaneously, and the effects stack. [Iron Bones] combined with [Evil Dragon Blood Armor] always feels like I'm drifting further and further away from being a tank.

What really satisfied Roy was [Qi and Blood Condensation].

Although it only lasts for a moment, and although it can only increase the strength of a certain part of the body, it is a real explosive skill.

If used properly, it can have incredible explosive power when attacking, and can also block fatal blows when defending. Roy also used this move to chop off the head of the alien ogre with one sword.

It is said that Carl once killed a Sequence 5 pure-blooded dragon with one sword under the same sequence, which is enough to show the terrifying power of this move.

And as always, this move can also be stacked with skills such as [Dragon King's Blessing] to super double the effect.

The reason why he was able to defeat the fallen Bruven was largely because he was able to restrain the opponent's dragon scales and pressure. It does not mean that he can really defeat Sequence 6.

However, with the dual blessing of [False King] and [Iron Blood], he should have no problem taking on a melee Sequence 7 alone. As for enemies skilled in magic or ranged attacks, it would depend on the specific situation.

Checking his harvest, Roy's skewers became more delicious.

But when he was about to continue enjoying the food, he found that there was something wrong with Alice sitting next to him.

The little maid hung her head, silent, staring blankly at the table, barely touching the delicious food in front of her. Her distraught look was completely out of place with the lively atmosphere of the guild.

Roy suddenly became worried.

"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

"No, Alice just..."

The little maid hesitated to speak for a moment.

Chapter 13 Alice's Promotion

"only?"

Roy didn't press the issue, but just looked at the girl with concern and waited quietly.

Looking at the boy's considerate gaze, Alice finally couldn't help but speak out her worries.

"I'm sorry, Alice didn't behave well this time."

"Ugh?"

"Not only did I fail to kill the petrified dragon, I also failed to help my master against the alien ogre. I failed to accomplish anything in this adventure. As my master's maid, Alice is truly derelict in her duty." The girl clenched her fists and lowered her head in shame in front of Roy, like a dog that had made a mistake.

Roy was stunned for a moment before he reacted with a bit of amusement.

I just casually mentioned that I wanted to check her exercise results, but I didn't expect Alice to be so serious.

But in fact, she was too strict with herself.

Looking at the little maid who exuded a guilty aura, Roy said helplessly: "I say, did you make a mistake somewhere?"

"?" Alice tilted her head, confused.

"When did I ever tell you to kill the monster?"

"Oh? But the master said he wanted to check Alice's results..." Alice murmured.

"Yes, I was talking about checking on the results of Alice's training." Roy nodded, then smiled and confirmed, "You're proficient in manipulating your bloodline power, and your combat abilities are not bad either. It's obvious that you've been working hard on your training. Isn't this the result of your efforts?"

"You've done a great job."

Alice was slightly startled, and her originally dim eyes brightened up almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Do, do it well?

Is this a compliment?

Even if it was just the simplest compliment, as long as it came from Roy, for Alice, it was more precious than any honor in the world.

Alice's tone was slightly hurried, and she confirmed with some disbelief: "Really? Is Alice really doing well enough?"

"Of course. Alice, don't you believe what I say?" Roy joked.

"No! Of course Alice believes in the master!"

After receiving the recognition from her master, the little maid finally felt relieved. She slowly touched her chest, squinted her eyes gently, and raised a soft arc at the corner of her mouth, as if chewing on happiness, and murmured to herself: "As long as I can help the master, it's fine."

At this moment, in Roy's eyes, the girl looked like a real angel, emitting a golden glow, so that he didn't even have time to care about the increased favorability on the panel.

This is too cute!

She is obedient, hardworking and sensible. Where can you find such a treasure girl?

Roy inexplicably had the urge to hug the girl tightly in his arms.

But in the end he suppressed this rude thought, and instead reached out and gently rubbed the other person's head.

"Alice is doing very well, so there's no need to worry."

The sudden movement made Alice's eyes flicker.

Pat the head.

Alice never really understood why Roy did this, but she didn't hate it either. As long as her master liked it, it was fine.

But now, under Roy's warm words and being caressed like this, she felt a warm throbbing flowing through her chest, making her feel that at this moment, she truly belonged to her master.

She suddenly began to like this feeling.

Just as the boy was about to withdraw his hand, Alice reluctantly uttered a plea.

"Wait, please wait."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Yes, Master, can you please touch me for a while longer?" Alice asked cautiously, "Just for a moment."

This request was exactly what Roy wanted, and he almost laughed out loud.

"Of course! Or rather, since you performed so well this time, a reward of this level is only natural!"

So the caressing continued. Alice squinted her eyes comfortably, breathing softly, and rubbed herself greedily in Roy's palm, which was extremely cute.

Every caress made the girl's chest throb more intense, and every gaze made her soul warmer, and all of this made her feel that all the previous hard work and experience were worth it.

Rather, I am fighting for the master's current reward!

The moment this thought crossed my mind, the warmth that had been accumulating in my chest finally burst out.

A holy light suddenly erupted from the girl's body, and extraordinary power spread out like a wave. In the darkness of the night, Alice, like some kind of miracle, radiated a dazzling yet gentle halo, a beauty so holy.

At the same time, the adventurers around him couldn't stop exclaiming. The panel interface in Roy's eyes updated significantly, and he finally realized what was happening.

[Name]: Alice

[Bloodline Path]: [Angel]

[Bloodline Level]: Sequence 8

The advancement of bloodlines is very complex and unique, and each bloodline has corresponding conditions.

Alice was a little overwhelmed by the sudden promotion, and the adventurers didn't understand how she could be promoted so suddenly while sitting there.

But the most surprised person was Roy himself.

How can I get a promotion by touching my head if I can’t even consecrate my own hands?!
