Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 158: Can not level up?

Noan and Malrik looked at each other as if they knew exactly what the other was thinking, as though their thoughts aligned.

Malrik laughed and said, "Master, you are truly evil. Even the Evil God isn't as evil as you."

Noan: "..."

"Are you complimenting me or scolding me?"

"Ack! I... I am complimenting you, Master." Malrik quickly explained, "Moreover, the seals in that place are all toxins of the Dragon Clan. Even though Alex absorbs them and transforms them into energy, he still carries a distinct scent on him."

"That scent is the signature magic smell of the Dragon Clan, and it can't be erased."

"As long as any member of the Dragon Clan is within 1,000 miles of someone with that scent, they can detect them."

"Of course, once they detect the person with that scent, they will hunt them down because they believe that anyone with that smell is a grave robber."

Noan shuddered at that.

He felt lucky that Malrik had not allowed him to go to that tomb first. If he had, even if the poison there hadn't killed him, the Dragon Clan would have come after him later.

The thought of being hunted down by the entire Dragon Clan terrified him to the point where he couldn't eat or sleep.

Malrik continued, "At the current rate, Alex will need about five days to fully absorb all the poison and transform it into energy for himself."

Noan nodded, but thinking about the fact that in five days, all the Lords would be able to return to the city, he felt that this was not just a coincidence.

After Alex returns to the city, with his terrifying physical strength, he might start the 'face-slapping' or 'flexing' journey like the characters in the novels he had read.

For Noan, the 'Fate Holder' was no different from the main characters in those novels, only distinguished by the way they were addressed.

Noan rubbed his chin and suddenly thought of something. He immediately said, "Malrik, after five days, you will come with me back to the city."

"The city? Master, are you referring to the human city?" Malrik asked, confused.

"That's right, in five days, all the Lords will be forced to return to the city for ten days. You will come with me, won't you?" Noan asked.

Malrik immediately knelt, holding his master's legs, crying like a child: "Huhuhu... Master, you treat me so well. You are the bright star in the sky, the moonlight that breaks the night, the sun..."

"Enough! Enough!" A few veins popped up on Noan's forehead, his anger rising.

He had decided to do this because he now had the 'Summoning Space'. Now, he could bring Vylyss along without worrying about anything.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

At first, he had no intention of bringing Vylyss back to the city.

Why?

Because it was too strange and dangerous.

Just thinking about how an ordinary Lord like him could bring a B-rank Hero back to the city would attract attention.

Noan also didn't know whether the system had recorded his information and would display it to the Federation Government and the Empire.

If that happened, he might end up drawing attention from both powers.

That's why he planned to take Malrik with him.

But after having the 'Summoning Space', Noan suddenly wanted to see if he could bring Vylyss to the city using this feature.

If it worked, it would be equivalent to a cheat trick.

People would only know that he brought a D-rank Hero back to the city, while secretly, he could bring Vylyss.

Of course, success or failure still depended on him testing it.

At this point, Malrik stood up and laughed: "Kekeke... Master, I'm just a bit too excited."

"This is the first time I've come to the human world, I will try my best..."

"No! No!" Noan quickly interrupted Malrik: "You don't need to do anything, just act normal."

Noan sighed, wondering if bringing Malrik to the human city was the right choice or not.

However, Malrik was very clever. He didn't think Malrik would cause any trouble.

After hearing Noan, Malrik stroked his chin, thought about something, then lowered his head and said: "Master, don't worry, I'll act just like normal, kekeke..."

Hearing that, Noan felt reassured and said, "You bring Caleb and Austin to meet me."

"Yes, Master."

…

A while later, Caleb and Austin were brought in by Malrik, their faces still clearly showing signs of confusion and worry.

Although it was evening, the place was still bright, thanks to the magical lamps.

It could be said that the work efficiency of the NPCs was relatively high, especially the Blacksmith Master, Thalira. She quickly created lamps that used energy crystals to emit light. A rank F energy crystal could light a space for several days.

Caleb and Austin looked around and noticed the area was much larger than before, decorated like they had just stepped into a magical garden.

The two of them glanced at each other, their hearts heavy with pain.

There was no pain without comparison. While other Lords struggled to survive, Noan seemed to live in paradise.

Austin and Caleb tried to push aside the jealousy in their minds, quickly following a female NPC to the side of a pond, just as they usually did.

Seeing Noan sitting on a chair, Austin and Caleb hurriedly knelt, bowed their heads, and respectfully said, "Master!"

Noan glanced at them, slightly nodded, and said, "This time, you found another cave. It seems you are quite lucky."

Upon hearing Noan's words, Caleb shuddered in fear, while Austin didn't understand and just remained silent, waiting for Caleb to speak up.

There was an unwritten rule between him and Caleb: Austin would not speak up hastily and would leave all decisions or conversations to Caleb.

Why?

Because Austin knew very well that he was not as clever as Caleb, nor could he understand the deeper meanings of the Master's words as Caleb could.

Therefore, it was better for Caleb to speak.

Caleb grew even more anxious at this point, hurriedly speaking: "Master, I... Austin and I only thought we could help the Master find more treasure."

"We just happened to come across the cave and planned to investigate inside before reporting back to you."

"Neither of us had any intention of taking the treasure. We hope the Master can understand."

Noan smiled internally. He hadn't thought his image would be so intimidating in their eyes.

But it was a good thing. This would help lower the chances of their betrayal to the lowest possible level.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to blame you," Noan smiled and said. "I know very well that you will not betray me."

"This time, you have done very well. This is a reward for you."

After Noan finished speaking, two bags woven from Zhisse silk appeared before them.

These bags didn't appear because Noan threw them; they materialized before Caleb and Austin.

Although Austin ignored the details, Caleb noticed what had just happened, and a thought immediately appeared. However, he didn't dare think too much about it and quickly bowed his head, saying, "Thank you, Master."

Caleb took the two bags, handed one to Austin, and kept the other for himself. Inside were food supplies and energy crystals, but this time, rank E energy crystals were also included.

Before Austin and Caleb could rejoice, Noan continued speaking: "I know you are currently facing many issues with building your domains. I will have my subordinates bring more building materials for you."

"If you perform better, I might even reward you with something you would never dare to imagine."

Austin and Caleb were so happy upon hearing this that their faces showed joy.

Before coming here, they had been thinking about how to ask the Master for some building resources. After all, they still had their domains; if they didn't continue developing, their strength wouldn't grow.

If they couldn't strengthen their domains, sooner or later, they would become useless.

And of course, the fate of the useless was simple: they would be discarded.

"Thank you, Master!" Caleb and Austin bowed again and said.

At this point, Caleb joyfully asked, "Master, will I be able to contact you after returning to the city?"

"Hm?!" Noan raised an eyebrow.

"Ack!" Caleb thought Noan was displeased with his question, so he quickly explained, "Master, please don't misunderstand."

"Both Austin and I are members of great families. If you need assistance, I can help you with many things, including gathering supplies."

Noan, hearing this, realized that Austin and Caleb still thought he could bring real city supplies to this world.

He frowned, thought momentarily, and said, "Give me your contact details. If I need anything, I will call."

Austin and Caleb hurriedly took two small pieces of paper from their bags, each with their address, phone numbers, and other contact methods, which they had prepared earlier.

The female NPC took the papers and handed them to Noan.

"Do you live in the capital, Terith?"

Upon hearing Noan's question, Caleb immediately replied, "Yes, Master. Although I am not an important family member, I can still assist you with many things."

Noan nodded slightly, stored the two pieces of paper in the 'Storage Space,' and continued, "How long will it take for you to reach level 4?"

Upon hearing this question, Austin and Caleb exchanged looks before gazing at Noan.

Caleb sighed and said, "Master, I fear that neither I nor Austin will have the opportunity to reach level 4."
