"By the way, is Te’an’s brother’s wife interested? I happened to explore a cave with her a month ago, it was awesome!"
So you’re the real culprit! You were the one who got involved with someone else’s friend’s wife first!
"Wanna try together?"
"But you can’t tell my wife about the thing with his wife, my wife can’t keep her mouth shut, and Hes will learn about it from her, then tell Te’an’s wife. Once Te’an knows, he’ll definitely come after me!"
"Wait, wait, let me sort this out..."
Elze quickly pushed away the Minotaur beside him, his mind in turmoil.
These relationships are ridiculously complicated! You’d need several color codes to map them out! It’s a total chaos of Minotaur drama!
"Anyway, as long as you’re okay."
The Minotaur bumped Elze’s shoulder.
"Welcome back to the Minotaur Tribe, Lita."
Elze swallowed hard, looked up, and saw countless Minotaur houses covered with green grass roofs.
So this is the real Minotaur Tribe?
I’ve truly entered the territory of some fearsome creatures!
[The undercover life of the Dragon Race Maiden in the Minotaur Tribe begins here.]
Being undercover requires time to blend in; it’s not an immediate trust-building, info-handling affair.
After sending Elze away, Shami returned to the small grove on the plains where a few people were setting up camp, accompanied by the Pink Minotaur and Jelly.
Setting this as the temporary base camp, Shami had the Pink Minotaur and Jelly operate here.
After a brief organization, he went alone to the Maple Forest Clearing and immediately started the next task.
Last time, due to the appearance of the Dragon Race Maiden, he didn’t have time to complete the task of collecting Demon artifacts.
Using the Teleportation Gate, he once again arrived at the city where he encountered the Dragon Race Maiden, heading straight for the exhibition featuring Demon artifacts.
After a thorough walkthrough and confirmation, the exhibition had a total of 132 artifacts belonging to the Demon Race.
This was when manpower seemed insufficient.
Looks like I’ll have to step in personally.
Doing everything myself feels like I’m a solitary commander.
Still, there’s no point in complaining about it.
In the evening, taking advantage of the exhibition closing, he took action.
Using the weapon [Nige]
[Nige]: Although it’s just an ordinary black iron hoe, once enchanted with Magic Power, it enhances the efficiency of looting.
Shami quickly extracted the required artifacts from the glass display cases and swiftly left.
Perhaps due to the lack of previous thefts, this robbery went exceptionally smoothly.
Walking down the street, it took a while before Shami saw security starting to check the surroundings for personnel.
Holding the hoe, he calmly left the city without any hindrance.
The hoe, much like a bench, possesses great dual-use functionality.
Who would think this villager holding a hoe would be a notorious thief?
The collected artifacts were just antique Demon objects, generally ornamental, without special functions.
[Tree of Knowledge Mission: Collect 100 antique Demon treasures scattered across the continent, no restriction on type]
[Reward: Unlock knowledge of one unknown item.]
Shami looked at the newly obtained reward while heading back to the Maple Forest Clearing.
Next, the reward should be handed over to the Demon Envoy.
Now that Lureya has communication capabilities, who should receive this opportunity to unlock ring communication?
He pondered for a while between the Magical Girl and the White-haired Girl.
Shami decided to give it to the White-haired Girl.
"It’s better to give it to the white-haired one who was here first."
Though Shami usually lets the white-haired girl roam freely, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t care deeply for her.
Imagining her face, a wave of longing welled up inside him and wouldn’t subside.
"Also, it’s been a while since I saw the white-haired one; who knows how much she’s grown..."
