Chapter 871: Westwind City is the Most Comfortable City
The priest found his head throbbing from Robbs conversation. Make it fall in love with me? Are you out of your mind? This is a succubus, a creature of darkness. Dont think that just because it looks human, it possesses human emotions. They will never fall in love with humans; they only tempt human males and consume them.
Thats because the average person lacks enough charm, Robb replied. As long as youre handsome enough, even a succubus would fall for you, and then shell spill everything she knows.
Nonsense! Dont waste time, the priest retorted. Forcing information out is more reliable. By the way, let me remind you, when referring to a succubus, use the pronoun it, not she. The distinction carries a different meaning.
In the Gran language, animals are usually referred to as it, while for humans, she is used, making the differentiation quite clear. So, in an instant, the priest caught onto Robbs linguistic mistake.
Robb could only throw up his hands in surrender. Alright, fine! So youre admitting that youre not handsome enough to make an evil succubus fall for you. But for me, its different. Look at my appearance, its so incredibly striking that its world-shattering. I believe I can make her obediently follow me.
The priest:
Surprisingly, the female magician next to them chimed in, Thats true, youre incredibly handsome. If you were a bit more powerful, I might even fall for you.
Western women are known for their straightforward speech, without beating around the bush. Robb gave her a thumbs up. You got it. But my magician at home might get jealous.
Everyone turned to look, Xuelu was smiling mischievously, showing no signs of jealousy. On the other hand, Suofa seemed a bit uncomfortable.
The priest couldnt help but quip, Did you mix up who might be the jealous one?
Robb said, Tsk, you guys just dont get it. Xuelu always appears cheerful and carefree, seemingly never getting jealous or competitive. But in reality, when she gets competitive, she can be quite fierce. Conversely, Suofa never plays that game.
Xuelu, You noticed that?Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Robb, Couldnt I see the competition between you and the Queen?
Indeed, it was impossible. Robb hadnt actually made the succubus fall in love with him. Instead, he used the Warlocks skill, Demon Pact, to form a contract with the succubus, establishing a master-servant relationship. This succubus had become his familiar, hence the display of affection and obedience.
The concept of a Warlock profession didnt seem to exist in this world, so Robbs tactic went unrecognized.
Chriss group wore puzzled expressions, while Robbs side remained calm. It seemed they had anticipated this outcome.
With a wiggle of her hips, the succubus led the way ahead.
Chris group looked bewildered, but at this point, they had no choice but to follow along. Whether they understood it or not, they had to accept the situation. This was the adventurers way in their decades of adventuring, they had witnessed all sorts of strange occurrences. If they couldnt learn to accept them calmly, they would have been scared out of their wits a long time ago.
Wandering through the rifts crevices, the underground world proved to be vast and intricate, inhabited by many bizarre creatures. It didnt take long for them to encounter several monsters. However, with experienced adventurers like Chriss group, handling these creatures was routine, as long as they didnt come across extremely powerful ones.
After walking for a while, everyone began to feel weary. Chris spoke, Even though we cant see the daylight down here, our bodies are protesting. It seems like its already nighttime outside. We should rest.
Robb instructed the succubus, Lead us to a suitable resting place.
The succubus obediently led everyone into a small cave and settled in a dry area.
Without daring to light a campfire, the group sat in a circle in the darkness, taking out dry rations to eat. Chris and his team had regular dry rations and plain water. However, they noticed that Xuelu poured out a bubbly liquid from her water flask. She poured a cup for Chris and the others, smiling as she said, Try this.
Chris took the cup and took a sip, his eyes lighting up, Wow? Is this the legendary Coca Cola? Ive only heard about it from adventurers of the Kingdom of Gran. This is the first time Im tasting it, and its fantastic. They say it was researched and made by Godfather in Westwind City himself. Currently, only the royal alchemists of Westwind City and the Kingdom of Gran know how to make it.
He quickly passed the cup to his teammates nearby. The other four team members each took a sip, and they all couldnt help but marvel, Indeed, Westwind Citys Coca Cola is really delicious.
Gorda then produced a handful of candies, offering various flavors. He gave a few to each of them. After Chris group tasted them, they all found the candies delightful. With smiles, they began to express their desire to settle down in Westwind City after retiring from adventuring. They joked, Lets go live in Westwind City after we retire. Its said to be the most comfortable city nowadays.
