At around eleven the next day, after researching all night and the next morning, Gu Xi finally discovered that the third phase of the quest regarding Kro had been refreshed.

This time, instead of saying to protect Kro while leaving Temen City for somewhere, the task was to escort Kro to the black market in Temen City and participate in the auction there.

Gu Xi realized that the main quest focused on staying by Kro’s side, at least for three months.

What Gu Xi would do during this three-month period wasn’t actually important.

If there were many battles along the way, protecting Kro would be more difficult, and the final reward might be better.

If it were like yesterday, staying in Temen City all day studying the spread of Angels, the reward after three months might not be good.

This time, although there was a task on his shoulders, Gu Xi’s main aim was to engage in combat, level up, and acquire more Undead and equipment.

Staying in the city all day is not the proper way.

Thinking about the situation of the third phase of the quest, Gu Xi planned in his heart, once this black market auction ended, to find a way to lure Kro out of the city.

As long as he stays in the city, there are hardly any battle opportunities.

With this decision in his heart, Gu Xi started to consider how to communicate with Kro about the black market auction.

Kro was still heavily hungover since yesterday and had not come out yet.

He wondered if Kro truly could withstand it.

While pondering, Gu Xi left his room and walked from the third floor to downstairs.

As Gu Xi descended, the tavern full of people who were talking loudly suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Gu Xi with a peculiar expression.

Gu Xi was somewhat puzzled; he looked at the bartender shrunk in a corner, wanting to ask what was wrong with these people.

Unexpectedly, the bartender also lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Xi.

As Gu Xi was in doubt, he noticed a woman sitting at a table not far away.

The woman was the one who had traveled along with Gu Xi.

Sitting in the corner of the tavern, she was completely inconspicuous in the shadow.

Upon seeing Gu Xi, the woman placed an unfinished glass of wine on the table.

Her expression clearly indicated she wanted Gu Xi to come over and communicate.

For people like her, Gu Xi never budged; he directly found a table under bright lighting and said to the bartender, "Yesterday’s dishes were good, give me another round."

The bartender still lowered his head further.

Gu Xi pounded the table heavily, "What’s the matter, are you not doing business today?"

Seeing Gu Xi angry, the bartender finally approached, gave Gu Xi a drink, and whispered, "Be careful, those people came last night, and they’ve been asking about you and your friend.

They’re really fierce."

Gu Xi understood who the bartender was referring to.

Gu Xi was somewhat surprised by this matter.

But thinking it over, the situation wasn’t hard to understand.

After yesterday’s flying airship incident, surely the woman suffered a big loss.

If she had a good temper and admitted it herself, it wouldn’t have been a problem.

But from the current situation, she blamed Gu Xi for it.

For people like her, Gu Xi does not accommodate.

Seeing Gu Xi hadn’t come over, the woman’s face turned quite ugly.

Her originally fair skin showed a Black undertone, and now she was extremely angry, her face turning blue.

If there were a Feng Shui Master here, they would immediately say that her print hall was turning black.

Finally, she picked up her skirt and walked straight to Gu Xi, sitting down directly.

"Don’t you have anything to say?"

"No."

Gu Xi glanced at the woman, although they had traveled together for roughly twenty hours.

But Gu Xi barely communicated with her.

He didn’t even know which Human Empire she came from or her name.

Moreover, there was no direct connection between them.

Just coming to him like this, Gu Xi didn’t understand what she was thinking.

Since she asked him, Gu Xi simply retorted her with a single sentence.

Listening to Gu Xi’s words, the woman pointed at Gu Xi.

"You just wait."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out.

As she stood up, Gu Xi noticed some black-robed Thieves appearing in various corners of the tavern.

After briefly exposing themselves, they left with the woman.

Once they were far away, the bartender approached Gu Xi.

"Where did they come from? So aggressive?"

"Don’t you know?"

Gu Xi asked curiously.

"I don’t know, they came yesterday, carrying your portraits, asking if you two were here.

Then they wanted to come upstairs and cause trouble.

To ensure our guests’ safety, we challenged them in ten contests and drew."

Listening to the bartender’s words, Gu Xi understood his meaning.

After thinking it over, Gu Xi extended his hand, and a small linen cloth bag appeared on the table.

The bag contained one unit of Gem.

With an expressionless face, the bartender swept his hand across the table, making the bag disappear.

Then the bartender left a sentence, "You better stay in the tavern for the next few days, we can guarantee your safety here.

If you go out, your safety won’t be guaranteed.

Remember to inform your friend; those people are quite fierce.

They won’t spare you."

Gu Xi nodded and looked towards the tavern entrance.

From where Gu Xi sat, he could see the outside situation.

The woman had already left by carriage once she exited the tavern.

But the Thieves who followed her remained outside.

As if purposely letting Gu Xi see their presence, they occasionally showed off their black cloaks and robes.

They were clearly indicating that Gu Xi would be fine if he stayed in the tavern.

If Gu Xi left, it would be his doom.

To such provocations, Gu Xi felt speechless.

Normally, others should be able to see Gu Xi’s ability, right?

How can these people dare issue such a warning to Gu Xi?

Could it be they thought those people could kill him?

At this point, Gu Xi’s face became dark.

At this point, a patron sat in front of Gu Xi.

"Brother, are you being watched?"

Gu Xi raised his head a bit, indicating the situation outside.

"Isn’t that them?"

"Brother, if I were you, I’d secretly borrow a path from the bartender to leave; the tavern has a way to escape.

Don’t assume you have some ability and act recklessly here.

Now it’s daytime, and the Thieves’ actions are often unnoticed."

"Is it true that if no one sees it at night, actions within the city would go unnoticed?"
