Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"clear."

Hans nodded.

On the dueling platform, Luo Xiu was also surprised as he listened to Vivian's words.

He hadn't expected Vivian to offer such lenient terms, but after a moment's thought, he finally spoke:

"I need to ask my teacher's opinion first. Once he's done with his work, I think he should be able to give you a definite answer."

Vivian was rejected, but her expression didn't change at all; she simply nodded.

"If you and your teacher have finished discussing and decided on something, you can come to see me together, or you can let me know and I will visit you in person."

After she finished speaking, a green-gold magic circle unfolded in her hand, and a pair of long green-gold gloves appeared on the magic circle, slowly floating in front of Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu took the gloves in his hand, and his first impression was that they were very light.

Unlike regular gloves, which feel heavy and make your hands look bigger, these gloves feel incredibly light and thin, almost like a layer of gauze. Some parts are even openwork, making them more like arm protectors that cover the palms than gloves.

Luo Xiu put on the gloves, and a cool sensation appeared on his arm. Instantly, the gloves seemed to merge into Luo Xiu's body, fitting him perfectly, as if they had become a part of his arm.

From the outside, Luo Xiu's arms appeared to be completely unadorned, except for some gold and green stripes.

Luo Xiu waved his hand, feeling his power increase slightly, but the increase wasn't particularly noticeable.

Vivian glanced at the screens around her, her eyes flickering slightly, and strange green-gold patterns immediately appeared on all the screens.

The green and gold patterns grew wildly, instantly corroding the screen next to the dueling platform.

The crowd below the stage stirred; they couldn't see anything anymore.

They're still waiting to see the effects of the legendary Tier 5 item.

Vivian looked at Hermes beside her and slowly spoke:

"I'll pretend today's events never happened. If you see Lucas, please pass on a few words for me."

Hermes blinked, a bad feeling rising in his heart. He and Vivian were from the same era, and he knew that the old woman in front of him was far from as elegant as she looked. In her youth, she was also domineering and caused quite a bit of trouble.

If Lucas hadn't offered such a high price, and if he hadn't seen a glimmer of opportunity for the Chamber of Commerce to grow stronger, he wouldn't have bothered with Vivian.

What message do you want me to deliver?

Hermes spoke.

"I'll fuck his whole family! If he needs one, I'll pay for his coffin and see if his dog bones will rot in it. I'll fuck him..."

Hermes left, unable to hear the rest of Vivian's message, because he had a premonition that if he had listened any longer, Vivian would not only have attacked Lucas's entire family, but he himself would likely have been caught in the crossfire as well.

Luo Xiu stared dumbfounded at Vivian, who had a full head of silver hair. The once dignified and elegant Vivian was now cursing loudly, one hand on her hip, and she seemed to have become several years younger.

Several minutes later, Vivian finally stopped, looked at Luo Xiu, and slowly spoke:

"It made you laugh."

Luo Xiu blinked:

"It's alright, I think you're... quite domineering."

He gave Vivian a thumbs up:

"The way you looked just now, you actually looked quite compatible with my teacher."

Upon hearing this, Vivian's expression shifted, and she looked at Luo Xiu:

Does your teacher usually swear?

"They never scolded me."

Luo Xiu shook his head:

"But I'm referring to that kind of temperament."

A smile appeared on Vivian's face:

"It's a blessing for that blockhead to be able to take you as a student."

Luo Xiu dared not answer this question; he couldn't very well admit that his teacher was a block of wood.

When Tata was mentioned, Vivian's gaze softened as she looked at Luo Xiu. She spoke slowly, her voice gentle:

"The item I'm giving you today is called the [Hand of Creation]. This item can greatly enhance your ability to use magic and your affinity for magic, while also slightly improving your physique and strength."

"In addition, it has two other effects. The first effect is that it can enhance your alchemical sensitivity, and the success rate of alchemy through the [Hand of Creation] will be greatly improved. The second effect is that it can allow you to learn [Alchemy of All Things]."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu looked at the green-gold pattern on his arm and knew that participating in this duel was the right thing to do.

Chapter 157 The Second Tier 5 Item

After listening to Vivian's introduction, Luo Xiu was extremely satisfied with the equipment called [Hand of Creation].

As expected of a Tier 5 item, its ability to significantly increase magic affinity and spellcasting power already surpasses the effects of most Tier 4 items.

Not to mention it can also increase alchemical affinity, which is also very important to Luo Xiu now. After putting on the [Hand of Creation], he felt that he should be able to successfully refine third-tier potions.

While third-tier potions offer limited boosts to combat effectiveness, some have unique effects that can sometimes produce remarkable results.

For example, the invisibility potion that Luo Xiu has been trying to refine recently will be of great help in future operations.

There is also a drug called hydrophilic agent, which can improve the user's swimming ability, increase the time they can hold their breath underwater, and increase their diving speed. It can even increase their affinity with fish species.

As for [All Things Forged], it is also very powerful. If it can achieve the rapid casting speed of Kelda under the blessing of [Hand of Creation], it will be a great boost in battle.

Luo Xiu placed his right hand on his left shoulder and gave Vivian a slight bow:

"Thank you, Your Excellency Vivian."

"I don't need to thank you, you deserve it, child."

Vivian raised her eyes, looked at the few who had already fainted on the dueling platform, and sighed softly:

"I should be thanking you for leaving these seeds for our Adventurers' Academy. It's rare that you chose to hold back even when outnumbered."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu smiled sheepishly:

"Actually, I was worried that if I went too far, I would push you too far, since my teacher is still in seclusion."

Vivian glared at Luo Xiu. This kid can be quite eloquent sometimes, but sometimes what he says is not so pleasant to hear. No wonder people always want to beat him up.

She spoke softly:

"Even if you push me too far, I can't kill you. Do you really think your teacher is still in seclusion?"

Luo Xiu was taken aback:

"You mean..."

"I can even guess the color of his underwear. Do you really think he can relax and go into seclusion after getting such a precious disciple?"

Perhaps because Luo Xiu had seen her rough side, Vivian simply stopped pretending and revealed her true nature. Her words made Luo Xiu a little embarrassed, and he thought to himself that his teacher, his old lover, was quite fierce. He was just glad that he hadn't gone too far.

Otherwise, he felt that even if he didn't die, he would still suffer some physical pain.

But what Vivian said did surprise Luo Xiu. He had thought that his teacher was still in seclusion, but now it seemed that was not the case. Perhaps his teacher was watching him from somewhere.

A warm feeling flowed through Luo Xiu's heart. The biggest surprise he encountered after arriving in Kanriel was finding such a teacher who had always protected and guided him. Of course... Old White also deserves credit for this.

He hadn't realized it before, but in some late-night reflections, he gradually understood that his teacher was the kind of support Old White had been looking for.

Although Luo Xiu wasn't sure what the relationship between the two was, he couldn't deny that Old White was a true friend despite their age difference.

I must go to the capital to see him sometime. Luo Xiu made up his mind.

“Your teacher realized I exposed him and said he’s waiting for you at home now.”

Vivian descended from mid-air as a wisp of black smoke, carefully pondering with her magic before speaking.

After leaving those words, she turned and left without lingering. Three green-gold magic circles rose beneath the three people on the dueling platform, and huge flowers poured out from the magic circles, swallowing the unconscious people whole before sinking and disappearing.

As for why there are three magic arrays...

Because Green was kept on.

"Don't you like to steal people's magic pockets and equipment? This is for you."

Vivian disappeared into the air.

Luo Xiu looked at Green lying in a pool of blood on the dueling platform with some doubt. This old woman was so kind that she knew about his thrifty habits and left him a magic pocket for one person.

Although confused, Luo Xiu, adhering to the principle of "if you're going to steal something, you might as well," walked up to Green and swiftly stripped him of all his valuables.

After doing all this, Luo Xiu leaped from the dueling platform. His figure in the clear sky seemed to transform into a rainbow, drawing a perfect arc in the air as everyone looked up in surprise, before landing on the roof of a room.

After jumping several times in succession, Luo Xiu disappeared from everyone's sight.

Countless people were amazed, and some shouted excitedly:

"Lord Luo Xiu just stepped on my roof!"

The people next to that person immediately offered their congratulations, expressing their envy of his good fortune.

Luo Xiu leaped between rooftops, each leap crossing countless rooftops, and the tiles he landed on never broke.

He has become increasingly adept at controlling his own power.

As he passed a rooftop, he saw Milair and Rose.

"Owner!!"

Milair waved happily and vigorously.

"Meeting at the alchemy shop at 8 PM!"

Luo Xiu responded loudly.

"OK!!"

Milair nodded excitedly, while Rose beside her couldn't help but watch:

"Lord Milair, don't you hate meetings the most?"

"I hate meetings that are meaningless."

Milair's words shut Rose up completely.

She had nothing to say to a woman in love.
