Reincarnation: Only I Can Play The Villain

In the next few weeks, Chu Mu completely lived a leisurely and relaxed life.

Although I occasionally go to the underground city to exercise my muscles and bones,

Most of the time is still in the family headquarters,

Either deal with the affairs of the "Fool" family,

For example, helping the girls of the Black Cat Knights renew their gifts.

Or digesting the spoils of killing gods,

Read the Nightmare Book of Apollo, Ishtar, or Soma and Freya.

"Do the math, it's been about a month since the last war game."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Chu Mu, who had returned from the dungeon, walked into the lobby of the guild headquarters.

As usual, the hall was filled with all kinds of adventurers.

"I still have something to do in the guild, Lily, go to the gold exchange first and sell today's spoils."

He casually touched the head of the little human supporter, and the latter showed a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Well, leave it to Lily!"

Carrying a huge backpack that looks very heavy and stuffed,

Lily happily walked towards the gold exchange,

If she takes on the appearance of a canine,

Maybe you can still see the wagging fluffy tail...

However, after Chun Ji joined the Hestia family, 15

Lily never used magic to transform into a beastman.

According to her, it may be some strange reason like "property conflict".

In short, girls' minds are so complicated and unpredictable.

"There are quite a lot of people in line."

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows after seeing the long queue of adventurers in front of the service window.

The reason why he went out today was to go to the dungeon to test some things,

Or because today is the time to pay the family tax.

Guild services are not provided free of charge to all adventurers in the city,

Each family has to pay certain taxes according to its own size and strength.

Fortunately, although the Hestia family has made a lot of achievements and gained a lot of limelight,

But the size of the family has only two members so far, and the highest strength is only Lv3...

So you only need to pay a small amount of tax.

But the "Fool" family is different, the tax figure makes Chu feel pain for a while.

Fortunately, Esdes and the Black Cat Knights are constantly exploring the dungeon,

This tax is actually not too much, and it is still within the acceptable range.

Of course, if you are really short of money, as long as Chu Mu goes out and takes a few more "enchanting" orders, you can also make up for this expenditure.

Looking at the length of the queue, it will probably take quite a while to get in line.

Chu Mu walked directly to the huge billboard with many announcements and leaflets.

Including information about the dungeon, the bulletin board at the guild headquarters has a lot of valuable information.

For example, the neighboring country of Orario—the Kingdom of Lagia recently had a large-scale troop mobilization.

Maybe it will be like before, sending troops to attack this labyrinth city.

This is not something that has never happened in history.

In fact Lachia has waged 5 wars against Orario.

Of course, judging from the fact that Olalie is still independent,

As a result of these five wars, Lachia must have failed.

"The insect master is talking about this 'war'... I don't know what plan he will have when the time comes."

Just when Chu Mu was thinking about the Kingdom of Lachia in his mind,

The discussion of adventurers coming from the side caught his attention.

"It's really strange, do the monsters in the labyrinth also use weapons and armor?"

"I heard that there are monsters who will take away armor and snatch equipment from dead adventurers. Is it true or not?"

"Weapons are fine, after all, there are humanoid monsters who use weapons...

"But if you wear armor, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with than before?"

"Is the source reliable? Are there any sightings?"

"It seems that they all came from the 'lower floors' after the 20th floor, at least the upper floors did not find similar situations.

These rumors made Chu Mu narrow his eyes slightly, thoughtful.

The monster that will take the initiative to steal the adventurer's equipment, could it be... "Heretical"?

Although this plot is relatively late, it did not happen suddenly, but has been brewing for a long time.

It happened to be the time when the Lachia Kingdom launched a war.

In this case... It seems that I need to go to the 19th floor for a trip.

After paying the tax, Chu came to Zirao's mistress "to replenish some supplies.

The atmosphere in the tavern is hot, but there seems to be something wrong with the number of busy maids.

"Aniya, isn't Seele here today?"

Chu Mu casually asked the catgirl maid who came up to her.

"It's meow, Xier skipped work again today meow."

The catgirl maid wiped the sweat from her forehead and wagged her tail angrily.

"Girls always have some secrets meow...but the burden on meow has also increased, I don't know how to keep accounts meow!

Unlike the maids who live in the store, Seele seems to have her own residence.

So even the colleagues in the store don't know much about her personal affairs.

"I'm also more worried about Xier."

A cold voice came from the side,

Lyu also finished the work at hand and walked in front of Chu Mu.

"Could you visit her at her place, if possible?"

Anya's eyes lit up, and she looked at Chu Mu.

"That's right, meow, you are an adventurer, meow, so take it as a commission—I entrust you to find Xier and bring back her secrets, meow!"

"Forget about spying on other people's privacy."

Chu Mu smiled and rejected the stupid catgirl's commission, but did not evade Lyu's proposal.

"Miss Liu, can you tell me where Xi'er's residence is, if I drop by, I'll go back and have a look.

 …

The Road to Daedalus is located in the southeast area of ​​the labyrinth city.

The buildings in this area are intricate and confusing like a labyrinth.

In a sense, this is a ghetto where the urban poor live,

All kinds of stone buildings, simple steps and alleys criss-cross.

The extended steps are blocked by dilapidated houses from time to time, and the old magic stone lamps are dimly lit.

On the cluttered streets, only some residents in untidy clothes can be seen wandering, and there are very few adventurers.

The unfriendly sight from the eyes of the aborigines here made Chu Mu feel a little worried.

For a delicate and ordinary girl like Xi'er to live in this kind of place, it's a bit dangerous.

According to the clues provided by Lyu, after Chu Mu passed through several alleys,

Finally 110 stopped in front of a building.

Located deep in the Daedalus Road is a "church".

"excuse me."

Glancing at the shattered church windows, Chu Mu gently knocked on the decayed and dilapidated wooden door.

Although this kind of place doesn't look like a serious residence...

But Chu Mu, who lived in an abandoned church with Hestia, is also understandable.

Soon, with the sound of hurried and brisk footsteps,

A blond elf child with a dazed and vigilant face poked his head out from the crack of the door.

"...?"

"I'm here to find a girl named Seele."

"Huh, Miss Seele?"

The name that Chu Mu said aroused the elf child's reaction.

As if relieved, she turned her head and shouted behind her.

"I'm here to find Sister Xi'er, it doesn't seem like a bad person!"

As the door opened, more children crowded into Chu Mu's field of vision,

There are men and women, half-elves, orcs and ordinary humans.

After seeing Chu Mu, some of these children suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"Ah...... Are you the 'Miracle Hero'?!"

"I saw it in the broadcast of the war game before... Is it actually the deity?!"

"Well..………"

Chu Mu did not expect his "big name" to be recognized here,

Just when the children surrounded him in a mess, wanting to see the heroic figure of the legendary adventurer.

Two women emerged in time from the chamber deep in the church.

"What happened... this is?"

"Eh?! Mr. Chu Mu, why are you here?".
