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?
Robb, Couldnt I see the competition between you and the Queen?
Hey, can you guys focus on the task at hand? the succubus lying on the ground couldnt bear it anymore and protested, Either kill me or let me go. Make a decision quickly and stop wasting time.
Robb turned to the others, See, theres too much talk, even the demon cant stand it. Alright, stand firm now, Im about to impress you all.
Everyone:
Robb said seriously, This succubus now wishes she could kill me, but after a quarter of an hour, she will be hopelessly in love with me
Didnt I tell you to stop spouting nonsense! the succubus snapped.
Alright, I wont say anything, Robb quickly turned to the succubus, and a purple light emanated from him. He reached out and tapped a triangular purple mark on the succubuss forehead. The succubuss entire body stiffened, and then numerous peach-colored hearts emerged, swirling around her forehead. Her attitude towards Robb instantly changed, becoming respectful and infatuated. She cooed, What are your orders? Just tell me, and Ill help you complete them.
Robb patted her head and chuckled, How do we get to the Demon King City?
The succubus pointed to the complex and chaotic passage within the rift, Go into this passage, walk forward for a few miles, then enter a natural cave. Theres an underground mushroom patch. Go around to the right of the mushroom patch, take the right path at the fork, then keep going
She rambled on and on, giving more detailed directions than an enthusiastic neighborhood committee member offering directions.
Everyone:
Chris group was utterly surprised, Whats going on?
Robb chuckled, Shes fallen in love with me.
Nonsense! Chris couldnt hold back and jumped out from behind the hiding rocks, Thats impossible!
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.
