Hearing this, I did not look at them anymore and put a hand on Lu Xiaoran's shoulder, taking him out while saying, "Lu Xiaoran, come with me. Roman and Sherry are going to talk about some adult things; it's not appropriate for you to hear it."
I gently took him out of the manor, and he obediently listened, while hearing my words, Roman finally noticed and screamed, "Master, this is not what you think, this is a misunderstanding."
Then, Roman stunned Sherry by creating thunder in his hand. Now stunned with electric shock, Sherry's eyes rolled back, but she still had a happy expression on her face. She muttered, "Thank you! Mister," while her body twitched and she went unconscious.
After that, I heard Roman's explanation. Apparently, Sherry became addicted to the thunder shock Roman created. This must have happened when he punched her with a thunder punch.
Now she acts like a mental patient and craves more thunder shocks from Roman, maybe she got some injuries on her head after Roman punched her.
Roman asked me to help him and try to heal her body through my spiritual energy. I find everything normal, maybe she had been traumatized because of her fight with Roman, then I asked the system, which replied, "Host, I don't have any healing-related technique.
If you want, you can try to make her practice Nirvana Qi refining technique, as this technique will make all of her injuries heal, even the soul and mental problems."
I thought a bit about system's suggestion, but decided not to do it, as I still don't know much about this lady Sherry. What if she decided to go against us after getting her memory? It's not like I can not handle her, but still its better to be cautious then regret.
Then, I told Roman, "Roman, it's all your fault. I only told you to beat and capture her, but you have now made her a mental patient.
Now, take responsibility for her, until she get better and regain her memories, you will take care of her. Remember, be gentle and don't act rudely with her because currently she has the mind of an 8-year-old child."
Hearing my words, Roman bowed his head and accepted, while Lu Xiaoran stood silently at the side, watching all of this drama.
After sorting out Sherry's problem, I asked Roman to put unconscious Sherry in the room I had specially prepared for her.
Then, I suddenly noticed a notification on my system, which notified me that I received an mail from Louriel, opening the mail I find a whole file about Lin Chen and his origins.
This file also contains some hidden details about some background settings of his, even the information about his parents and their respective families. Reading all the information, I find most of the secrets of this protagonist Lin Chen, but there are still some secrets, like his pet dragon, which fought with Roman and Lu Xiaoran on the day he ambushed them.
If I am right, then that pet dragon is another opportunity of Lin Chen, and it must be a great opportunity as Lin Chen also have some dragon-related blood line.
While thinking about Lin Chen, I also find another message along with the file, and it is an invitation from Louriel. Reading its content, I understand her motives.
Earlier, to deal with the aftermath of crashing Lin Chen's party, I asked a favor from Louriel, which is used to deal with Silas, as Winston came for my help. Now she is asking back that favor, she is asking me to come to a hunting party, organized by her guild, "Horizon guild".
Reading the formal invitation, I start thinking about this invitation. I now have basic information about hunting raid parties and dungeons.
Just like some Korean comics in my previous world, this world also contains dungeons, which are categorized from rank E to SSS. These dungeons are not some complex mechanism but a phenomenon experienced in this world often, as I know that this world changed after a cataclysm thousands of years ago.
Now this world contain many parts of different worlds, which it assimilated in itself after colliding with it.
Generally, all of the parts of other worlds are not directly assimilated because of various reasons; some of them become small, special realms existing in this world. These realms are stable like continents of this world, for example, "The great fire forest" where my anonymous hall is situated.
But there are also some parts of the world that did not become stable, like special realms and assimilate like normal matter in this world, these parts become dungeons, a highly unstable spatial body consisting of mass ranging from a small cave to a whole continent, depending on its rank.
Dungeons generally contain monsters or other entities that this world labels as dangerous to be directly assimilated. It is strange to hear, but after the initial chaos of a thousand years ago, this world become much stable, a part of it is due to this world acting as a shield and isolating dangerous parts from the population of the world.
Most of the dungeons dissipate after the monsters inside them are cleared or reduced to a safe level, getting assimilated into this world. And to encourage the people of this world to actively risk their lives and clear dungeons, this world also provides many rewards on the basis of the rank of the dungeon and participants' contributions. I heard that this world even had a basic system that only distribute rewards and maintain dungeons, this is like some RPG game for me, so I am very excited, thus I started to prepare for this dungeon raid. I informed my disciples and told them what to do in my absence, as I decided to leave them behind because I first needed to test the dangers of dungeons and also see if this invitation did not have a hidden conspiracy from Louriel.
