"Hey, darling, I've missed you so much." Cassi opened his arms wide and shouted loudly as he walked towards the innkeeper.

"Hehe! Sly, who doesn't know that you, Lord Cassi, have been back for over half a month, and only came here tonight? Are you seeing someone new?" The woman, who had just been putting on a show, immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest and giggled when she saw Cassi approaching to hug her.

"Forget it, this time I was utterly humiliated, beaten by a group of barbarians." Cassi waved his hand dejectedly when he heard this.

"Hehe, hehe!" The innkeeper giggled.

"Cassi, what are you doing? We've been waiting for you for a long time." At this moment, a young man appeared at the top of the stairs, about the same age as Cassi. Seeing Cassi, he shouted loudly.

"Sorry, sorry, I saw Miss Ruth and forgot all about you guys. Miss Ruth, I'll go upstairs first. If you get lonely... ." Cassi walked while still making jokes.

The young man on the stairs couldn't hold back any longer, rushed down, and dragged Cassi upstairs, saying angrily, "Cassi, you need to drink as a penalty this time! You really made us Roland people look bad. Not only did you embarrass us, but do you know that we lost nearly a million gold coins in a bet?"

"You guys are really unfair. I was fighting for my life out there, and you were betting. Fine, you bet, but now you want me to drink as a penalty. What kind of logic is that?" Cassi rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Come on, we've been waiting for you. How did you fare in the past half month? Did the old man give you a hard time?" The young man pushed Cassi and said with a smirk.

"Ah, I won't be able to leave the capital for ten years." Cassi was very dejected at this point.

"What happened?" The young man asked with concern.

"It's the old man's house arrest. I can't leave the capital until I become a Silver Swordmaster." Cassi and his group went straight to the third floor, where there was a long corridor with rooms on both sides. However, Cassi and his companion didn't stop but went through the end of the corridor, crossed a bridge, and entered another large building with many private rooms. Cassi pushed open one of the private room doors.

"Silver Swordmaster? No way, I remember you became a Swordmaster last year, and then a Great Swordmaster, a Silver Swordmaster? Damn, ten years is a good deal, but after you come back, no one in the capital will dare to mess with us." The young man calculated and said excitedly.

"Hey! Everyone, look who's here. It's the deputy leader of the Mammoth Knights, Deputy Leader, hello? Do you still have the face to come back?" At this moment, the door of another private room on the other side of the corridor opened, and a slightly plump young man came out. Seeing Cassi, he immediately shouted.

"Where, where! Really, it's the Deputy Leader, Deputy Leader, where's your mammoth?"

"Embarrassing, embarrassing, beaten by a group of barbarians!"

"Right! If it were me, I'd buy a piece of cheese and smash my head against it. This is a disgrace to us Roland people!"

"Hehe, if it were me, I'd wear a dress when I go out, so no one would recognize me."

Unexpectedly, this shout from the plump young man immediately drew several people from his private room, who all mocked Cassi. This commotion didn't go unnoticed, and the door of Cassi's private room also opened, with several people coming out, glaring at the others.

"Tiny, are you looking for a beating?" The young man with Cassi pointed at the plump young man and said.

"Oh, oh, I'm so scared, I'm so scared, the Deputy Leader of the Mammoth Knights is going to hit me, I'm so scared!" The plump young man, Tiny, wiggled his hips and shouted, while his companions laughed loudly.

"Cassi, go back, don't come out."

"Right, you've disgraced the capital."

"Cassi, you're famous, known throughout the continent!"

"Kid, are you looking for a beating?"

"Are you tired of living? Cassi is a genius, with a million troops, have you pigs ever seen that?"

"Right, a bunch of pigs, Cassi, don't pay attention to these noisy pigs, let's go out and practice?"

"Right, I wonder if their elders made a fortune in the Muni War, now they're still making noise here!"

"Trash, complete trash, how many of you are there? I can take you all with one hand."

The two groups started a verbal battle in the corridor. Cook listened for a while and realized that Cassi's opponents were the children of several old noble families, top families in the capital. Cassi's side also had a few major nobles, clearly representing two factions in the capital.

"Bang!" When the two groups were shouting loudly, Cassi was smiling, but his heart was bleeding. The death of three hundred mammoth knights was always a pain for Cassi. Despite his anger, he still smiled. When no one was on guard, Cassi moved quickly, leaving a trail of afterimages, and punched Tiny's slightly protruding abdomen.

"Shout! Bang!" Cassi still smiled, not caring about Tiny's pain, and delivered another fierce punch, causing Tiny to curl up on the ground, convulsing.

"Guys, beat them up!" Seeing this, Cassi's companions immediately roared and charged at the other group.

"Just a Swordsman-level guy, Tiny, I'm telling you, the next time I see you, I'll cripple you. Don't believe me? Try it, bang!" Cassi still smiled, but then kicked Tiny hard, sending him flying.

"Bang! Kid, weren't you shouting just now? Shout!"

"Pigs are pigs, I haven't even warmed up, and you're already down. Is this your new tactic, bang! bang!"

"You said you wanted to wear a dress, if I see you and you're not wearing a dress, I'll beat you every time I see you, remember! bang."

Cook noticed that Cassi's group was clearly familiar with group fights. They first ganged up on one person, and when they had a numerical advantage, they quickly defeated each one. Cassi's group also shamelessly ambushed. The corridor was only a few meters wide, and Cook saw several of the other group's members fall to the ground before they could react.

"Guys, strip these pigs and throw them out. Let the ladies of the capital see their white butts." The fight ended with Cassi's side winning. A few of the other group glared at Cassi, who slapped them and gave orders.

"Good idea, should we find some good things to put on them?" Cassi's group cheered, and someone suggested an idea that wasn't very fresh.

"Sure, go find some fresh ones." Cassi waved his hand, and two people immediately rushed into the other group's private room. Soon, the sound of women screaming came from inside, and the two people came out with several women's undergarments.

"Look, look, what are you looking at, bang!" Cassi saw someone still looking at him, kicked them hard, and quickly stripped Tiny.

"Shh!"

"Oh! My God!"

"Is this a theatrical performance?"

"This is a catch in the act!"

Cassi's group moved quickly, and soon on the street in front of the Wild Rose, people were looking up at the wall of the Wild Rose Inn, shouting and whistling in surprise and disbelief.

"Damn!" When Ruth received the report and went out to the gate, she saw several naked figures hanging from ropes above the gate. These figures were not only stripped but also had women's undergarments on their heads, clearly visible in the bright lights of the Wild Rose. More infuriatingly, the people who put the undergarments on them had left their faces exposed. Ruth recognized a few of them and immediately cursed, then quickly ordered them to be taken down.

"Hey, isn't that the grandson of the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs? He has a fetish for being hung naked?"

"Tsk, tsk, that's the son of the Agricultural Commissioner, look, that thing is so small, no wonder he likes little girls, with that toothpick-sized thing..."

"What's that on that guy's thing? Syphilis, ha, this guy must have contracted syphilis from his gay activities."

The people who came to the Wild Rose were all from the noble circles. As they watched the figures being taken down, they started to comment, saying all sorts of things. Night Rose's face turned dark, and she knew that only Cassi, that bastard, could have done this. She remembered Cassi's past misdeeds and felt a headache coming on.

"Alright, alright, guys, let's scatter. We'll have to hide for a while, or the old man will give us a good scolding." Cassi and his group jumped over the wall onto a street and then Cassi waved to the others.

"Cassi, you don't know how these guys have been bullying people in the capital since you left. We've been watching them, but you know, we don't have a father like yours, so..."

"Alright, I'll have to hide for a while, or my old man will break my legs."

"How about this, let's go out for a while and come back when the fuss dies down."

"You guys decide, I'm going. When the fuss dies down, I'll treat you to a drink. Oh, this is Cook, take care of him, Cook, let's go!" Cassi knew these guys wouldn't be at a disadvantage, so he introduced Cook and took him away.

"Sure, Cook, come find us outside the city when you have time. Cassi knows where to find us. Guys, let's go, the East Gate, I have a way out there." The group nodded at Cook, acknowledging him, and then hurriedly went in the other direction, clearly to avoid the fuss.

"Cook, you go back too. I'll go to my brother-in-law's place to hide for a while." Cassi found a carriage and they both got in. About ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at Cook's house. Cassi, in a bad mood, said.

"Uncle Cassi, winning and losing is a common thing in war. Don't take it too hard." Cook left with these words, knowing that Cassi must be feeling bad, especially about the three hundred comrades.

"Go on! Remember to find Rody tomorrow. He'll take you to the Mages' Guild to handle some procedures." Cassi waved and said.

"Got it." Cook nodded and watched the carriage carrying Cassi drive to the other end of the street, where Melif's residence was.

In Monty's mage tower, Monty was sitting opposite an old man who was holding several long test tubes and shaking them. When Monty saw the old man stop, he asked, "How is it? Can you detoxify it?"

"Sir Monty, no! This is a very powerful poison from a high-level magical beast, probably at least a level 7 or higher. I can't detoxify it." The old man replied respectfully.

"This is the poison of a Magic Scorpion!" Monty explained.

"A Magic Scorpion, then there's no cure. The Magic Scorpion is a high-level magical beast in the poison category. There's basically no way to detoxify it. If the poisoning isn't too long, I suggest going to the Holy Light City, where the high priests can use the Purification Spell to slowly detoxify it." The old man, familiar with the Magic Scorpion, immediately said.

"How long is 'not too long'?" Monty asked, somewhat disappointed.

"Half a month! This poison is corrosive and will gradually erode your abilities and then your life. It's a living hell." The old man further explained.

"You're a Silver Alchemist, and you can't do anything?" Monty asked, hoping for a miracle.

"The poison of a Magic Scorpion is a 3S-level difficulty in the Alchemists' Guild. Not only can no one detoxify it, but no one can even slow its effects." The old man replied, somewhat displeased.

"Ah, well, thank you. I might need your help again in the future." Monty sighed, originally thinking that Constance's poison wasn't serious, and he had specially invited a Silver Alchemist from the Alchemists' Guild. But now, knowing that the poison of a Magic Scorpion was incurable, even the Alchemists' Guild couldn't help, Monty had to give up on recruiting Constance.

"It's an honor to serve you, sir." The old man replied respectfully, as Monty was a Saint Mage, and although he was a Silver Alchemist, there was still a significant gap between them.

"Ha ha!" Monty laughed, knowing that having a Silver Alchemist in the family was a good thing.

"Would you be willing to join the Mage Tower?" Monty laughed and then asked seriously.

"I am willing to serve you!" The Silver Alchemist, of course, was willing. Monty's family was a magical family with extensive connections and power.

"Rody, this is Berum, a new member of the Mage Tower, a Silver Alchemist. Arrange his accommodation and laboratory." Monty then called Rody and gave him instructions.

"Master Berum, please!" Rody was also delighted. Originally, it was just a detoxification, but now the Silver Alchemist was willing to join the Mage Tower, which would be a good asset for future recruitment.

Monty watched Rody arrange for Berum and sighed, "It seems Constance will have to be left to that lucky kid Cook. He used poison to suppress poison. I hope this kid can detoxify Constance, so our family won't lack military talent."

"Cook, Cook, get up, get up. Tell me, is the house you gave to old Puen worth a million gold coins? And the business in the square, does it make tens of thousands of gold coins a year?" Cook was still sleeping when old Hill pulled his ear and shouted.

"Father, Mitch is a mage, a mage, and a naturally awakened one. She could become a guardian deity of the empire." Cook quickly explained.

"Really? That little girl could become a guardian deity of the empire?" Old Hill asked, disbelieving.

"Of course! Father, rest assured, your son won't do a losing deal." Cook patted his father's shoulder and said.

"Brother, brother, we have a guest." At this moment, Lily, wearing a pink dress, ran in and said sweetly.

"Lily, you're up so early. Come, let me give you a kiss." Cook picked up Lily and kissed her.

"Hehe, hehe, tickles!" Lily giggled and kept saying it tickled.

When Cook went downstairs, he found two people in the living room: Rody and Constance. Cook quickly put Lily down and greeted them respectfully, "Sir Rody!"

"Hehe, this is your servant, I brought her over today. Do you have time now?" Rody stood up, pointed at Constance, and said with a smile.

"I have time, I have time. Sir Rody, are you going to take me to the Mages' Guild?" Cook was somewhat flattered by Rody's attitude and quickly replied.

"Let's go then. Mitch is also going to the Mages' Guild today." Rody said and started to leave.

"Father, take good care of Miss Constance. She's a very important person." Cook whispered to old Hill.

"Sure
