Fang Li suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Royal Capital?"
Frowning slightly, Fang Li turned his gaze toward the Adventurers sitting in the Guild bar, eating and drinking. In this situation, Fang Li almost immediately locked eyes with the Adventurers in the Guild.
"Uh..."
The surrounding Adventurers awkwardly averted their gazes.
This, in turn, made Fang Li chuckle.
"It seems I've been a bit too eye-catching these days."
Indeed, rumors about Fang Li have recently become highly controversial. Because Fang Li's achievements were simply too astonishing, many people were now paying attention to him, wanting to see for themselves if the rumored Classless Adventurer was truly that impressive.
The Adventurer who had just been talking about the events in the Royal Capital seemed to have blended into the crowd, as if only now noticing Fang Li's presence, and had stopped speaking, leaving Fang Li unable to find out what had happened in the Royal Capital.
Thus, Fang Li simply walked up to the counter.
"Good morning, Fang Li San."
Luna had been staring at Fang Li ever since he entered, and only when he approached did she flash a dazzling smile.
Looking at this beautiful receptionist, Fang Li's mood was somewhat strange.
Ever since Fang Li gave Luna a ring on his first day here, this beautiful receptionist seemed to have become extremely enthusiastic toward him. Whether it was consulting or matters related to quests, this receptionist had taken full responsibility, almost becoming Fang Li's exclusive service.
Frankly speaking, Luna's looks were quite good, and her figure was explosive. Logically, she should have been a target of pursuit for men.
However, perhaps due to her busy work schedule, Luna had never been in a relationship, and over time, she was even rumored to be a leftover woman, and she herself seemed to be anxious about it.
Fang Li only found out about these things later.
At that time, Fang Li had a sudden realization.
"So it's not just the power of the ring, but also the leftover woman bonus."
Clearly, Fang Li's actions had made this famous leftover woman start to let her imagination run wild.
In short, Luna was just eager to get married.
And Fang Li had not only given her an expensive ring but also solved so many high-difficulty quests, making Luna witness his astonishing achievements every day.
In Luna's eyes, Fang Li had probably already become the perfect lover—strong, gentle, and never discouraged or giving up, even without a Class.
Fang Li really wanted to tell Luna.
"This is a misunderstanding."
But if he really said it, it would be a disaster.
After all, Luna was only being a bit more enthusiastic toward Fang Li now, and there was nothing ambiguous between them.
Once the words were put on the table, Fang Li might really be forced into marriage.
Thinking this far, Fang Li simply decided to ignore it.
So, pretending not to know anything was the best course of action.
That was Fang Li's judgment.
Thus, Fang Li looked at Luna and asked her.
"Miss Luna, I heard something big happened in the Royal Capital. Can you tell me about it?" Fang Li's question made Luna's smile finally fade a bit.
"Well..." Luna leaned forward slightly, making her ample chest even more prominent as she spoke to Fang Li. "Actually, a while ago, a thief with astonishing skills infiltrated the Royal Castle."
Fang Li's mouth twitched.
Luna didn't notice this and continued explaining.
"It's said that this person not only infiltrated the entire Royal Castle alone without being detected, successfully entered the treasury, but also toyed with the Guard Regiment and the Knight Order after being discovered, breaking through a heavy encirclement and even kidnapping the Kingdom's First Princess. However, when the Royal Capital was facing a crisis of being overrun by the Demon King's army, this person took action, instantly killing the leading High-Class Devil and slaughtering the entire Demon King's army, then voluntarily releasing Princess Iris, causing a huge stir among the Kingdom's higher-ups."
Fang Li didn't even need to hear the rest of this, as he was already rendered speechless.
But Luna continued explaining.
"These days, the Kingdom's nobles have been debating whether to issue a wanted notice for this outstanding individual. Especially Princess Iris, who strongly advocated for his merits, believing that the person who saved the Royal Capital should not be wanted. However, the fact remains that he kidnapped the princess and infiltrated the Royal Castle. In the end, it was decided to issue a wanted notice for him."
After saying this, Luna pointed toward the bulletin board.
"Look there, the wanted notice has already been posted."
Hearing this, Fang Li silently left the counter and walked to the bulletin board, looking at the parchment in the center.
On it was a depiction of a black-clothed figure, with a masked face, a pair of ice-blue eyes, holding a waning moon dagger, and floating in mid-air.
That was clearly Fang Li in the scene where he instantly killed Bagra on the battlefield.
Below this wanted notice were the following words:
———— "Black Knight."
Bounty: One billion Eris.
"Black Knight?"
Fang Li was at a loss for words.
'What kind of name is that?'
Indeed, Fang Li was dressed in black at the time, so the "Black" part was understandable, but what about "Knight"?
'Wasn't he a thief? How did he become a Knight?'
"Is it because he ultimately saved the Royal Capital that they used 'Knight' instead of 'Thief'?"
This was probably the result of Iris's strong advocacy.
"Now, whether it's the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception or the Moonlight Dagger, I can't use them in public."
'Otherwise, I would definitely be suspected.'
Thinking this, Fang Li couldn't help but touch his chest.
There, hidden beneath his clothes, was a pendant.
To be more precise, it should be called a ring.
However, this ring was strung on a white silk thread made of mithril, worn as a pendant, and usually kept hidden under his clothes.
If he wore this ring openly on his finger, it would likely be discovered immediately.
After all, this was the ring worn by the Kingdom's First Princess, and it held significant meaning, making the chances of recognition quite high.
"Forget it, I won't think about it." Fang Li shook his head.
"I still don't know if I'll meet again in the future."
This part could only be left to fate.
"I'll just continue doing quests."
With that thought, Fang Li ignored the wanted notice and looked at the other notices on the bulletin board.
Soon, his gaze landed on a recruitment notice.
"Looking for team members, needs a gentle person, someone who will patiently listen even if the conversation is boring, someone who won't laugh at strange names, and someone who can stay together even on days without quests. Vanguard class preferred, ideally around the same age, I am a recently turned thirteen-year-old great Mage—"
Fang Li's mouth twitched again.
At the same time, he felt a very blatant gaze directed at him.
