Chapter 23: Mr. X
Winterless City
The actual combat drill was imminent.
Loran Academy gave the students a break for a couple of days, teacher Woos and the other school staff were under heavy stress because of the actual combat drill.
Every single student of the Magic Department are all precious, although the purpose of the actual combat drill is to let these rookies taste the cruelty of the battlefield, but they couldnt go too far. The basic protection measures must be in place, luggage, accompaniment, must be prepared appropriately.
Taking advantage of the break, Lin Xiao was not idle either. He took Elena to do two important things
The first thing was to investigate Elenas origins.
Elena was stuffed into a box and delivered to his house. It didnt make any sense. What was even more strange was that the signing card was disguised as a slave contract, just like a well-written script. Lin Xiao was completely in the dark.
Who did it? Even if it was not for Elena, Lin Xiao has to identify the identity of the person moving behind the scenes!
Early in the morning, Lin Xiao dragged Elena to the Flowing Clouds Courier Winterless City Branch. He first hung around in the center for goods circulation and tried to see if anyone would recognize her. But he ended up empty handed. It makes sense, theyre very strict with the management of employees, so there will not be any unauthorized information leaks.
Helpless, Lin Xiao could only ask the manager.
Lin Xiao, you said that you received a strange parcel a few days ago? Can you provide the waybill number?
Waybill number? I dont have that.
Signing card?
Also no.
Then, the box of the parcel, did you keep that?
Umno. Lin Xiao was extremely gloomy.
He didnt know what the waybill number was. The signing card also turned into a sheepskin scroll the moment he signed his name, and the large coffin-like box already turned into a pile of crap.
The person behind the scenes, lets call him Mr. X. Mr. X is obviously very careful and has not left any clues for Lin Xiao.
Is it impossible to find if you dont have those things?
Not necessarily, if it was a large cargo, we may have a record. Please wait a moment, I will get someone to check.
The mangers answer made Lin Xiao look forward to it. He remembered that it was a large rectangular box, like a coffin, and the shape was very strange. It was undoubtedly a big cargo. Sure enough, the manager quickly found the relevant records according to his description.
According to the records, this box had an encrypted waybill, meaning that all information, including the sender, was hidden. The manager could only find out that there was indeed this waybill, but could not provide any other useful information for Lin Xiao.
Did we send it to the wrong place? Im extremely sorry to have troubled you. the manager reached his own conclusion.
Thats impossible, it wasnt missent! Lin Xiao denied it.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
He remembered that his name was clearly written on the signing card Respected Lin Xiao, please sign and confirm. If it was missent, his name would not have been on the receiving card!
Mr. X, that person knows Lin Xiaos name, he also deliberately put Elena into the box and sent it to him!
Are there no more clues?
Under Lin Xiaos intense questioning, the manager finally revealed a useful clue
Before the box arrived at Winterless City, it was detained at West Wind Town for two days!
Based on Flowing Cloud Couriers consistency, parcels never stay in the same place for more than one day. Something must have happened during that time period.
West Wind Towndoes that sound familiar to you?
No. Elena shook her head and denied it.
The investigation once again reached a deadlock.
Mr. Xs identity and purpose are unknown, West Wind Town was their only clue. However, the actual combat drill was imminent, they had no time to go out and investigate, they could only wait until they had more time.
The good thing was that this investigation more or less dispelled Elenas doubts regarding Lin Xiao.
At least the Mr. X working behind the scenes shouldnt be Lin Xiao and she did not need to excessively put up a guard against him.
The investigation was over, next was the second most important thing
What? You want to take me to buy clothes? Elena exclaimed.
As a maid, you must have a proper maid outfit, that previous one was too unfashionable!
Looking at the human male who was getting muddled by excitement, Elena couldnt help but shiver. Lin Xiao had promised her that as long as she was obedient as a maid, he would never do shameful stuff to her again.
However, can a human male that thinks with his lower body actually keep his promise? Elena had her doubts, now her doubts had deepened.
She was currently contemplating whether she should take this damned lecher down with her
She was forcibly pulled to a strange clothing store according to Lin Xiao, this was the largest clothing store in Winterless City, called Good Clothes Wares, a variety of clothing could be found here and they even made custom clothing!
Try this one, quickly! Lin Xiao brought a set of bikini-like skimpy clothing and handed it over to Elena, who was in the changing rooms.
Elena changed her clothes in a daze and walked out of the changing rooms, then her entire body stiffened.
Next to her, Lin Xiaos praise rang in her ears.
Wow, what a terrifying chest, is this the origin of the Demon Kings power?
Pervert! This clotheshow is it any different from not wearing anything!? Elena ran back into the changing rooms with a red face.
Of course theres a difference, your 3 points are covered after wearing it, so its not 18+ anymore! Lin Xiao responded seriously.
Are you making fun of me? Lowly human!
Dont be impatient, here try another one. Lin Xiao passed over a gorgeous princess clothes.
Elena snatched it and changed into it in a hurry.
Ah, my dear princess, your translucent silver hair is so enchanting, your noble temperament intoxicates me so. May the low and petty me kiss your feet?
No, damn maggot. Elena had a cold expression.
Hehe, just making a joke. Ok, the last set
Finally, with Lin Xiaos coercing, Elena changed into the newest model of the maid outfit carefully selected by Lin Xiao.
Elena finished changing and walked out of the room. Her face was blushed, one arm was covering her chest and one arm was pressing the skirt down, she was afraid that she would accidentally reveal something and get taken advantage of by the lecherous Lin Xiao.
The color of the latest model of the maid outfit was similar to the previous one, both were mainly black and white, but the styles were vastly different
The biggest change was that there was a large piece of fabric missing from the chest. The original design that completely wrapped the chest became a low-cut style, proudly displaying Elenas charm without holding anything back. In addition, the original knee-length skirt became a short skirt, which barely covered the intimate part of the lower body. She was wearing a pair of white stockings past the knees, faintly revealing her pink skin. Four small strips extended upwards until the underwear, forming a seductive silhouette against the short skirt.
This is what a maid should look like! Lin Xiao pinched his nose to prevent blood from flowing out.
He suddenly remembered a famous saying.
Eroticism, is also one of the services provided by a maid, if not dont hire transmigrator, Lin Xiao.
Pervert! Elena snapped, How can I go out like this?
Why cant you?
Im not your *** doll! No way, I definitely wont wear this outside!
Oh, you dont want to wear it outsidethen that means, youre willing to wear it at home just for me?
Tskno! Elena felt like she got played.
Hehe, Elena, dont tell me you fell in love with me? Thats not good, youre a demon and Im a human, we wont have a future together
W-what are you saying? You lowly human! How dare
Eh? What did you call me?
Damn itmaster! Are you satisfied?
Un, Im satisfied.
What.!
She was about to curse at him, but Elena suddenly noticed that Lin Xiao threw something at her. Taking a look, it was an ordinary gray hooded burqa.
The burqa didnt have any sleeves and was easy to wear. As long as you put it over your head, itll be caped over you. Then if you fastened the front button, you can completely hide yourself within it.
Wear that when we go to the actual combat drill tomorrow, that way we can avoid attracting attention. Lin Xiao also picked up a black burqa and wore it over his body.
Looking at the burqa in her arms, Elena was a little surprised. Was this Lin Xiaos concern for her? Forcing her to wear the exposing clothes, was that just a joke?
This human, perhaps he isnt inherently bad.
Just as Elena was thinking about it, Lin Xiaos following words made her want to slap herself.
However, you have to wear the maid outfit inside! When were alone, you cant wear the burqa and have to wear the maid outfit for me!
Damn pervert!
Elena was already ready to take him down with her.
And so, they finished handling the two important matters. The actual combat drill started tomorrow, so they should go home early to prepare.
The two walked out of the store, suddenly a carriage galloped past, lifting clouds of dust. The pedestrians all got out of the way in a panic, yet the carriage had no intention of slowing down, instead it ran faster and faster and disappeared from their line of sight in a blink of an eye.
Eh, another Holy Light Church carriage?
Two mercenary looking people who had also just finished buying clothes whispered to each other.
What happened in these two days? Why are various Holy Light Churchs dispatching people to the South, did the Demons come again?
No, havent you heard? Two soldiers died in West Wind Town. Now that was cruel, I heard that one of them was dismembered!
A few days ago, didnt quite a few people die in a small village south of West Wind Town? Nothing special, I reckon some lunatic did it, eh?
Lunatic? Hehe, what if I said the murderer wasnt a lunatic, what if it wasnt even a human?
Not a human, so a demon?If the murderer was from the Demon race, then the emergency dispatch makes sense! They probably sent that Saint to catch the murderer, eh?
Hehe, who knows. But Im curious, even if the murderer was a Demon, the church is overreacting, Ive heard that they even dispatched the Crucifix Guards!
Youre saying, the churchs strongest military force that Crucifix Guards? My god
Their conversation garnered Lin Xiaos attention.
He wasnt interested in the churchs response, what he was concerned with, was the murder case.
West Wind Town.
West Wind Town again, was it a coincidence? The parcel Elena was in also stayed at West Wind Town for two days, retention of the parcel and the serial killings in West Wind Town, were they somehow related?
Hey, you Lin Xiao wanted to ask Elena, maybe the Demon King knew something. But Elena did not hear his question, but she was staring at the two mercenaries who were chatting and seemed to care very much about the murderer they were talking about.
