The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha! Chapter 362 - 14: Scenic Views and Hidden Worries2

"They only had two people, it was shocking," Mr. Mani spread his hands helplessly, "You might wonder why we require a rcenary group to have five mbers to register, but they only have two. In fact, they do have five mbers, it’s just that Mr. Duru’s remaining three mbers are his middle finger, ring finger, and pinky."

The rcenaries below laughed again.

"Yes, that’s right. Mr. Duru chard our staff into helping him cheat. However, we do not plan to punish them. Because they proved to us that a two-person rcenary group can be just as impressive. We have decided to abolish the regulation requiring five people to form a rcenary group and change it to two. After all, the adventurer guild exists not to constrain rcenaries, but to serve them. Perhaps soday, we might even change the standard to one person if soone can handle all tasks and advance to Level Six by themselves. You need to work harder."

The rcenaries laughed even louder.

"Mr. Mani is a humorous old man," Andrew whispered to Christina.

"He’s always been kind to . He specially approved for , Little Andy, Little Lynn, Little Jeff, and Little Henry to form a rcenary group. The reason was that the Linlopes adventurer guild does not discriminate against races, including rats. Of course, you are the best to ," Christina looked at Andrew with a dreamy smile.

Andrew gently raised his brows and turned away.

"Now, please welco the leader of the Blood Elf and Dragon rcenary Group, Miss Christina, to the stage to receive her Level Six rcenary Group dal."

The entire audience applauded, including Bi’an the Sixth, their cooperation partner.

Under the fiery gaze of the rcenaries, Christina stepped onto the stage and received the Level Six rcenary Group dal in front of everyone.

Christina’s tears stread down uncontrollably.

This was a goal she had worked towards for six years but had never achieved, even once thinking she would never accomplish it.

Standing on the stage, she choked up, unable to speak, her eyes fixated on Andrew in the audience.

"Maybe our Miss Christina would like Mr. Duru to join her," Mr. Mani stepped back and made a ’please’ gesture.

The rcenaries applauded once again.

Andrew had no choice but to get up and walk onto the stage.

"Thank you, thank you for your applause. Thank you all for taking the ti to attend this ceremony and witness this significant mont for the Blood Elf and Dragon rcenary Group. From now on, our group will live under the sa sky and guard this beautiful city with everyone here. We will have many cooperation opportunities, let’s have successful collaborations."

The applause below was even more enthusiastic.

A fitting speech finally brought the ceremony to a close.

After the ceremony, the leaders of several rcenary groups approached Andrew to get acquainted, but Andrew pushed the dazed Christina forward, "She is our leader; all matters of the Blood Elf and Dragon rcenary Group are her decisions."

Thus the scene beca sowhat awkward. The leaders had to grit their teeth and reintroduce themselves to Christina, who they had avoided earlier, and expressed their hopes for cooperation.

After all, many tasks require multiple people to complete. A two-person rcenary group ans plenty of cooperation opportunities. rcenaries are all about money; who would pass on that?

For his reputation, Bi’an the Sixth was also willing to make the ceremony grand. The news even hit the local tabloids’ headlines, heralding Christina and Andrew as legendary figures. Of course, due to Andrew’s strong objections, no portraits were published.

A whole day of bustling activity with flowers and applause finally ca to an end.

*Honestly, this was unexpected for Andrew. Although his original goal was to develop the rcenary group, he did not anticipate it happening so quickly. Even when he devised a unique way to complete that escort mission, he didn’t foresee that completing an S-rank task in one-thirtieth of the ti would add so many points, directly pushing the rcenary group to Level Six.*

*Is this a good thing?* *Frankly, Andrew was a bit worried. It was evident from his face.*

That night, Christina made a lavish dinner and for the first ti sat with Andrew at the dinner table—or rather, for the first ti accompanied him to dinner. It was a candlelight dinner, but maybe not what you think. They simply ate quietly, without saying a word.

*Christina constantly kept an eye on Andrew, but Andrew remained silent, lost in his thoughts.*

They kept eating until almost finished, when Andrew suddenly looked up, "I have a thought."

"What thought!" Christina imdiately looked up, smiling. Her reaction speed startled Andrew, and it took him a mont to recover.

"I... I was thinking, why don’t we move to another city?"

"Another city?"

"Yes, this place is too small, it doesn’t have enough room for us to expand. In just over a month, we’re already a Level Six rcenary group. Next is Level Seven, but then there’s nothing more. It’s not that we can’t handle bigger tasks, but there aren’t any bigger tasks here. Do you understand what I an?"

Christina stared blankly at Andrew.

"If we move to a larger city, we could beco an eight, or even nine-level rcenary group. What do you think?"

"But..." Christina murmured, "Where should we go? The largest adventurer guild in Lunbak is in Linlopes."

"The largest?" Andrew was taken aback.

"Yes," Christina nodded, "I don’t know about other places, but the largest adventurer guild in Lunbak is the Linlopes adventurer guild."

Andrew fell silent, stroking his chin.

"Are you... thinking of leaving? You said you would help , now we’re a Level Six rcenary group, are you going to leave?" Christina quietly asked.

Andrew blinked blankly, looking at Christina, and after a mont softly said, "No, I didn’t an that. Let’s finish our al."

Lowering his head, Andrew continued cutting his steak thoughtfully, raising his eyes to see Christina still staring at him, "What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to eat more?"

"Actually... no matter how much I eat, it’s only ’a little’ for ," Christina softly asked, "Have you forgotten I’m a dragon?"

"Alright." Andrew smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

...

At midnight, Andrew lay in bed, unable to sleep.

*Maybe I should leave imdiately. They are Liches, after all, they can even summon ghosts to ask whatever they want. Even if I stay put, I might be discovered. Considering the entire Linlopes knows now, it’s a huge mistake; I shouldn’t have gotten on stage.*

*If I slip up even a little, they will easily find . Once I’m exposed, I’m done for; there’s no place to hide, and I can’t escape.*

In the early hours, Andrew quietly got up, packed lightly, took over a hundred gold coins from the drawer as pocket money, and quietly opened the door.

To his surprise, he saw Christina cuddled up with a blanket, sleeping at his door...

He quietly closed the door, carried his luggage back to his room, and sat on the bed in silence.

*Is this really a dragon? Such a senseless dragon... If she’s so worried, why did she fall asleep? Moreover, completely asleep? Do dragons sleep that soundly? What if I just run away?* *Would she still be able to maintain the Blood Elf and Dragon rcenary Group?*

Helplessly.

After a while, Andrew put his luggage back, walked out, carried Christina back to her room.

Christina suddenly woke up, staring wide-eyed at Andrew.

Andrew spoke softly, "Go to sleep, I’m not leaving. I promised not to abandon you."

Christina drowsily fell asleep again, with a sweet smile.

"I’m taking a risk, just this once," Andrew mumbled to himself, then returned to his room.
