"It seems that the Kingdom has sent a messenger," Raff said."What are we going to do?" asked Shella."We will welcome him here. Just give them water and don't spend money on food. If they act rudely, the reputation of the Kingdom of Xandria will be ruined," Raff replied as he stood up."We will close the discussion this time, immediately prepare another room to welcome their arrival," Raff said.Everyone in the room immediately nodded in understanding and then dispersed. Raff immediately went to the front door to prepare for the arrival of the envoys from the Kingdom of Xandria. Sure enough, a group of soldiers soon arrived, escorting a messenger. Several groups of adventurers also spread out, watching them from different directions.Raff welcomed their arrival and invited the two envoys to enter the norn town hall. They were Forth Cevius and Tow Otet, both descendants of noble families from the kingdom of Xandria. Several members of the Luminous Angel immediately served them water a

Two months had passed since Cevius and Otet arrived in Norn City. All of the villagers who had moved near the city's fortress had already resumed their usual activities. Now, the atmosphere of Norn City is even more vibrant than before, as all the villages that belong to the city's territory are there.The land where the villages used to be has been turned into fields, gardens, and fish ponds. Trade access and everything else has also been completely shut down by the Kingdom of Xandria. There are even soldiers stationed on the borders of Norn City to make sure that no Norn City residents leave for other cities.The soldiers would also intercept adventurers or merchants entering or leaving the borders of Norn City. They were also responsible for spreading bad rumors about Norn City. Sometimes they would even hire people to pose as criminals from Norn City and wreak havoc on villages in other areas of the other city.But things remained peaceful in Norn City itself. They were even able

The skeleton monsters began to approach when they sensed the presence of living creatures on the first floor. Raff immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the skeleton monsters. At that moment, all the soldiers whose groups were in the front row immediately shot up.The number of approaching skeleton monsters also seemed to be large because they sensed a large amount of life energy gathering there. Every single soldier in the front row seemed to be facing two or three monsters at the same time.There were even some experienced soldiers facing five to ten skeleton monsters at once. Elena also ordered the soldiers in the middle and back rows to help with the attack.Some of the soldiers in the back row even had to deal with skeleton monsters attacking from the sides and the back. Although not as many as those coming from the front, the monsters were still dangerous if they were allowed to approach the middle row, which was mostly filled with female soldiers and long-range fighters.A

Raff grinned happily as he looked at Carmilla floating in the air. Two fire dragon magic immediately shot at Raff. But Raff easily deflected Carmilla's attack with his two fifth-level fire magic.A powerful explosion sound was heard as their magic collided in the air. The ground slowly shook. Meanwhile, the gusts of wind that blew felt very hot. Some soldiers had averted their eyes, curious about Raff's battle.Raff himself was still standing in his place, playing with Xyera's sword in his right hand. Meanwhile, he held his own sword in his left hand. His gaze was fixed on Carmilla, who was still floating in the air.[She dodged the attack from Xyera's sword.]"Yes. It looks like this sword can really hurt her," Raff said.[I didn't think you would think of borrowing Xyera's sword]"That's because it was once said that the discoloration of the sword occurs because a certain elemental magic energy often flows from the owner. In addition, it is said that a sword that has changed color l

Raff retaliated by creating dozens of fire arrows in the air, shooting straight at the ten lizard monsters. They managed to deflect Raff's fire arrow attacks. However, Raff's form was already in front of one of them because he had used the Fox skill.In a short time, Raff managed to slash with his sword and wound one of the lizard monsters. Raff jumped, using the body of the lizard monster in front of him as a foothold. Raff darted to the other nine lizard monsters and slashed with his sword, wounding them all."Cursed wound!" said Raff after landing back on a mound of earth.All ten lizard monsters immediately screamed as the wounds on their bodies spread. Their bodies immediately sank to the bottom of the river. Dozens of fish monsters appeared around Raff, showering him with dense water beam attacks.This time, Raff used four fifth-level fire magic to block all of their attacks. A thick white fog rose to the roof of the dungeon, obscuring the view of the Norn City troops who were s
