Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

The person in front of him was the highest-ranking enemy he had faced since his transmigration. It was impossible for him not to be nervous, but he felt that he was not so bad that he would not even have a chance to escape.

The reason I caused such a ruckus after entering the casino was to survive under the command of a fifth-rank officer.

"The Earl's methods are indeed extraordinary. It was just morning, and now it's time to enjoy dinner."

Luo Xiu took the initiative to speak:

"I wonder why you are stopping me, sir?"

"I didn't stop you."

Shek's expression was as hard as ice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, his brows and eyes expressionless.

"I just wanted to talk to you."

"I'd really like to talk to you, but I'm in a bit of a rush right now. Could you please move aside?"

As Luo Xiu responded, his eyes secretly searched for a way out. Whether he could outrun it or not, he would only know after he ran.

Shek shook his head:

"I know what you're going to do, but don't do anything pointless."

"I don't understand what you're saying, sir."

Luo Xiu laughed.

"You want to go find your teacher, but your teacher isn't outside, so you won't be able to find him even if you go out."

Xie Ke's expression remained calm. Although he was talking to Luo Xiu, it was as if his gaze never landed on Luo Xiu.

"So I'm saying I'm not stopping you. If you want to leave, I can let you go, but that doesn't make any sense."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's heart sank. He calmly released the Sup he was holding in his right hand, preparing to use his last resort.

But Shake saw through what he was about to do:

"The black ring on your right hand was left to you by Tata, right? You can try to infuse it with magic to see if I'm lying."

Luo Xiu's heart sank even deeper.

His purpose in releasing Shoe was indeed to activate the ring in his hand. This ring was given to him by Tata after he became Tata's teacher, and Tata had told him that as long as he was in Kanriel, activating the ring would allow Tata to appear by his side immediately.

He originally intended to keep this ring to deal with the people Larry sent, but he never had the chance to use it.

Looking at Xie Ke's calm expression, Luo Xiu finally decided to inject magic into the ring on his hand. In this situation, he could only try every possible opportunity.

But the result was unbelievable. The outer ring of the ring lit up with a gray light, but there was no movement around it, only the breeze under the setting sun blowing.

Something might have happened to the teacher.

Luo Xiu's face darkened, his heart like a calm lake gradually churning with turmoil.

Having spent so much time with Tata, he had long regarded Tata as his true teacher. He knew that Tata would not lie to him, nor would she not appear after he touched the ring. The only possibility was that Tata was in some kind of difficulty and could not come.

“We should indeed have a talk, Your Excellency.”

Luo Xiu took a deep breath and looked at Larry across from him, slowly opening his mouth:

"Or are you not the Earl at all?"

(See Chapter 96 for details about the ring)

Chapter 184 A Fist Swing! (Mini-Explosion!)

"..."

Silence, deathly silence.

After Luo Xiu said that the person in front of him was not Earl Shek, the two people on the field fell silent and looked at each other calmly.

Only Hup remained, looking left and right with wide, clear yet foolish eyes.

The man before him wasn't Earl Shek? Then who was he? How did Big Brother know he wasn't Earl Shek? Shoep's confusion was practically written all over his face.

But facing these two people, he knew he had no say, so even though he had a lot of questions, he kept them stuck in his throat and dared not ask. He could only stare at them expectantly, hoping they could give him an explanation.

But the two just stood there silently for a long time. After a while, Luo Xiu spoke again, and once again, he said something astonishing:

Do you remember the night Kelda died?

!!!

"Big brother is so brave," Schup thought, shrinking back even further.

My small frame is no match for my older brother's. If Count Shek gets angry, I'll be turned to dust if I get hit by the aftershocks of the battle.

"Of course, the reason Kelda died at your hands that day was because he was not skilled enough and because I failed to teach him properly. It had nothing to do with you."

Count Shek spoke calmly, but Luo Xiu laughed as soon as he finished speaking:

“You are really not Earl Shek.”

In his eyes, the person in front of him had not shown any fluctuation in emotional or mental state since he appeared; the "scrutiny" indicator was a horizontal line.

It's possible that Count Shek was an extremely emotionally stable person, but after Luo Xiu said he wasn't Count Shek, and during the long period of waiting, his emotional and mental state remained unchanged.

This is already quite illogical.

Even after Luo Xiu mentioned Kelda, the "Shek" in front of him remained unmoved, and he finally realized that the person in front of him was definitely not Earl Shek.

That night, although Count Shek did not stop Luo Xiu from killing Kelda in the end, Luo Xiu was deeply impressed by his sigh, and the sadness and struggle revealed in it were definitely not faked.

Whether I am Earl Shek or not is irrelevant, isn't it?

The person opposite, "Shek," spoke, seemingly acknowledging what Luo Xiu had said.

wonderful.

Hugh cheered for Luo Xiu in his heart. Although he still couldn't understand how Luo Xiu had made that judgment from his perspective and was still completely confused, it didn't stop him from seeing that Luo Xiu had outmaneuvered Count Shek.

Sometimes the logic of a story isn't that important; what matters is the plot.

If you had a bottle of wine on hand at this time, that would be great, and it would be even better to have a few slices of fine Sicilian ham.

“For me, there is still a difference, because if you weren’t Earl Shek…”

"Then you can't stop me."

Luo Xiu spoke, then suddenly rushed forward, flashing in front of Shek opposite him to Xiu Pu's shocked eyes, and threw a heavy punch.

In Kanriel, someone actually threw a punch at the city's ruler, leader, and one of the strongest. The scene was so shocking that Schup was completely dumbfounded.

The scene of his conversation with his teacher White when he left the capital flashed through his mind.

"Old man, I'm leaving. Don't miss me."

He was packing his things for the trip in his room. These were all "treasures" he had collected since he was a child. Every time his father let him into the study, he would secretly take a small but valuable item and hide it in his bedroom.

Even if my dad finds out, he won't be angry.

White stood in the doorway, his tall, thin frame slightly hunched, watching quietly as he finished unpacking before speaking:

"Safety is the top priority this time. I'll be back after delivering the goods."

"I know, I know, old man, you're too long-winded."

Heap interrupted, speaking excitedly:

"What do you think of my outfit today? Having a good outfit is very important for doing business."

Seeing Hup's unreliable behavior, White tugged at his goatee with annoyance:

"Just wait, someone will take care of you when we get to Kanriel."

"Who? The one you asked me to deliver something to?"

Hup seemed unconcerned:

"Old man, to be honest, there's no way you could find the kind of genius you're talking about outside of the capital."

"Just wait and see how I give him a little shock from the capital when we meet."

White laughed upon hearing this, as if recalling some amusing scene, and the corners of his mouth turned up:

"That's best."

"..."

Seeing White's appearance, Hup realized that something was wrong.

Although he hadn't spent a particularly long time with White, his understanding of his teacher was just as deep as his understanding of the gossip in the capital.

The way he looks now is definitely no good.

"Old man, tell me the truth, is he really just a healing mage like you say?"

"Of course, have I ever lied to you?"

That's what he said, but White's smile widened even more, making Hup's teeth ache.

"Didn't you tell me before that he was a genius, one in a million?"

"Yes."

"But he's also a healing mage."

"Yes."

"..."

Seeing the "Are you kidding me?" look on Hup's face, White smiled and said:

"Some people are believed to be exceptionally talented, and they eventually reach the top of the world, sometimes it's not just because of their abilities."

"Once you meet him, you'll know that kid has a certain drive. If you're good at judging people, you'll naturally admit that he's a genius that comes out of the woods."

……

Heap watched as Luo Xiu charged toward Shek.

When Luo Xiu defeated him before entering the city, he didn't think much of it, only that he was unprepared and that his opponent was indeed very strong and exceptionally decisive. But he was still far from the genius he had in mind.

When Luo Xiu defeated the Demon Bat, he didn't have any particular thoughts; he was just happy that he had made another fortune.

When Luo Xiu fought four opponents single-handedly on the dueling stage, he felt that Luo Xiu was indeed quite formidable, at least beyond his own reach, and was his benefactor. Outside the capital, he was already considered to have exceptional talent.
