Chapter 943 The Terminator and Initiator 3

Jiang Qianqian was in a terrible mood, which was why she had invited a few friends over to the bar. Running into Xiao Qin was just a coincidence, and there was no reason beyond that for why she had treated her as a punching bag.

She really had no intention of doing anything to Xiao Qin, but Xu Wennuan’s appearance left her helpless and unable to swallow her anger. As such, when she saw Xu Wennuan trying to take Xiao Qin away with her, Jiang Qianqian spoke without any hesitation. “Stay where you are!”

As she said that, she cast a look at her friends who were sitting at the adjacent table. They had hung around Jiang Qianqian for a long time and, because she had always been generous, they complied with whatever she wanted. Jiang Qianqian didn’t even need to vocalize what she wanted; she just had to give them a look, and the entire group stood up and surrounded Xu Wennuan and Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin leaned nervously against Xu Wennuan, who tightened her grip around Xiao Qin and stood her ground with a tranquil face. She showed no intention of speaking. When Jiang Qianqian saw that neither of them could leave now, she walked up to the two of them in her high heels, making it evident that she had been drinking.

She c.o.c.ked her jaw slightly and swept her eyes over Xiao Qin before directing her bloodthirsty gaze to Xu Wennuan. Their eyes met, but her words were meant for Xiao Qin. She said, “I’ll count to three and, if you don’t remove your dress, you can’t blame me for not playing nice!”

With that, Jiang Qianqian raised three fingers. After a small hiccup, she spat, “Three.”

There was a deliberate pause as she retracted one finger and then continued. “Two.”

When she saw how Xiao Qin remained unmoved, she looked at the girls beside her, who all looked like they were in their early 20s. Without a word spoken, two of the girls inched closer to Xiao Qin, and then Jiang Qianqian recited the final digit. “One!” she said. The moment her voice settled, the two girls reached toward Xiao Qin’s collar.

Xu Wennuan lifted her hand instinctively and swatted at the two girls. Then, she gazed sternly at Jiang Qianqian. “What exactly do you want?”

Jiang Qianqian laughed coldly. “What does that have to do with you?” Following that, she said to the group of people at her side, “Hurry up and rip her clothes off!”

Because they were all intoxicated, they were clumsy but much bolder than usual. The moment they heard Jiang Qianqian’s words, they surrounded Xiao Qin. Xu Wennuan was not stupid, though; she knew that Jiang Qianqian’s target was her, not Xiao Qin.

She suppressed the anger blooming in her chest and said to Jiang Qianqian, “If you have any grievances, I should be the person you’re attacking. Don’t drag innocent people into this!”

“Heh…” Jiang Qianqian snorted coldly, but her words were laced with an obvious intention to battle Xu Wennuan to the end. “I should attack you? Do you think you’re worthy enough for that? I want to attack her today, and what can you do about that? I’m not only intending to attack her, I’m going to rip her clothes personally!”

Jiang Qianqian grew increasingly angry as she spoke. She took two steps forward and grabbed Xiao Jin’s collar and gave it a forceful tug. When she heard the sound of ripping fabric, Xu Wennuan reached out and grabbed Jiang Qianqian’s hair with no mercy and gave it a hard yank. Jiang Qianqian suddenly released a pitiful cry, prompting Xu Wennuan to raise her hand and give Jiang Qianqian two slaps across the face.

“Jiang Qianqian, I’m warning you—Don’t go overboard!” said Xu Wennuan.

“What's……that……?”

With her mouth open, Tiraiza looks up at the sky. Floating in the sky is a huge unknown weapon. Seeing the arrows of light falling from it, Tiraiza screams.

“Get down!”

Everyone lies down, but that action was unnecessary. However, they headed only for the enemies.

“Was that an attack from an ally?”

Jamie gets up.

“I've never seen a magic like this.”

It's only natural for Iris to never have seen it.

The four spirit attributes----it’s not fire, not water, not earth, and not wind. It's neither light nor dark. The seventh element, evil attributed magic. It's an attribute unknown to humans.

The same thing can be said for demons.

“What was that just now? Dangerous.”

The high ranking demon in front of their eyes avoided the arrow by dodging it. It looked up at the sky, but the third dimensional magic formation had already disappeared.

“I guess it doesn't matter. For the time being, I'll just kill you guys.”

The demon focuses on the 3 in front of him. The 3 gradually begin to retreat. They were in an inferior position.

“Guwahaa!”

Getting hit by Jeko, high ranking demon gets blown away. Breaking through many buildings, the demon’s body finally stops. The buildings fell one by one.

The 3 took the chance to retreat.

“I heard the building was strengthened by magic, but it was a lot weaker than I thought. I guess it can't be helped.” “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who are you?”

The high ranking demons rises from the debris.

“I won't answer that question. I don't have the right to.” “What are you saying!?”

The high ranking demon gets enraged, and attacks Jeko.

“Dieyaaaaaaaa!”

Those were the demon’s last words. The moment it prepared its sickle. Jako drew his katana.

“Plus, there's no point to telling it to someone who's about to die.”

The demon heard those words from behind it. The demon was cut in two at a speed which couldn't be seen with eyes.

Click. Jeko puts his katana back into its sheath.

“Just one more.”

Jeko’s figure disappeared back into darkness.

“I didn't think we'd have this much trouble……”

Fiona's mind was upset. She, as a hero with Krau Solas was unable to kill a high ranking demon. She realized they had already been defeated, but after that there were a few unknown phenomena.

What happened, and how was the situation? She pushed those thoughts to the back of her head, and focused on the high ranking demon in front of her.

“That's my line.”

As expected, as it had no choice but to be wary of the Divine Sword, the demon wasn't able to attack very often.

“But, let's finish this already----Bufaoto!”

The demon suddenly soared high into the sky. At a speed unseenable with bare eyes, the demon is kicked away by Jeko.

“Evil Burst.”

A large explosion of evil attributed magic occurs in the sky above the capital Rhodan. The high ranking demon who was blown into the sky began getting erased.

“What was that now……? Who……are you?”

Fiona asks while being way.

“c.r.a.p. There was someone here.”

Jeko was acting puzzled.

“I haven't received any instructions on what to do in this situation.”

Jeko is troubled.

“What's with this guy……he isn't understanding me.” “I guess I should erase her.”

Hearing Jeko's words, Fiona retreats without thinking. Jeko's aura is jaki. An unknown aura to mankind.

The unknown is feared. Compelled by that fear, Fiona backs away from him.

“Seyaaaaaa!”

She attacks him with Krau Solas. Jeko accepts it with his bare hand. He grabs it with his hand.

“No way! To stop it with your bare hands!?”

Fiona opens her eyes with surprise.

“Ow, ow. I thought it was a sharp sword, but it was Krau Solas. How nostalgic.”

Jeko laughed while showing his broken hand. However, that will heal immediately.

“What's so nostalgic? This sword has been pa.s.sed down to heroes since the fourth demonic calamity.” “That's why I said it was nostalgic. It'd take awhile to tell you the story----I’ll have you die here.”

Then, Jeko disappeared from Fiona's sight. While rotating, he blew away. Then, his head is smashed to the ground, and is *pikupiku* trembling.

“Excuse me. Lady, are you hurt?”

A gentlemanly young man calls out to her.

“Wa, yes. Who is it now?” “What did you say?” “That guy who's fallen over there----hey what? No one's there.”

Without making any sounds, Jeko disappeared.

“Did you see an illusion or something? I heard that the other hero fell down earlier and was carried into the castle.” “Eh, Yufi was? Thank you.”

Fiona bowed, and hurried to the castle.

“I deeply apologize.”

After confirming that Fiona left, Jeko reappears and apologizes.

“She's one of the heroes. Stop thinking of killing her.” “It was because she saw me fighting……” “It's difficult for humans to tell that us when we have our jaki released are the same person as us without it released.” “My clothes are……” “Yeah, I understand. Although they're common janitor clothes, they have the Cantabridge Academy embroidery is attached.”

Julius releases a sigh.

“Why were you wearing those…” “I'm sorry, I didn't think about it and wore my normal clothes.”

While Jeko was apologizing, he suddenly notices something, and rebuts.

“Ashtal-sama was also wearing his uniform!” “His way of fighting can't be noticed by humans. Also, so he wasn't exposed, we fought too. This time he just used a third dimensional magic formation from far away. Now he just has the duel outside the city. There are no problems.”

He confirmed that n.o.body was around before he released his jaki.

“Julius-sama rarely isn't wearing a tuxedo or a suit. You have a rough look today.” “I'm not used to it, so it's actually embarra.s.sing.”

Julius looks at himself. A flashy shirt pattern that young people would wear. It was his first time wearing such clothes.

Julius-sama walks out as is.

“Where are you going?”

Jeko asks.

“I’m cleaning up. I'm hiding evidence of what we did.” “Eh, can you hide this?”

Jeko is unable to understand.

“On the contrary, how do you think humans will judge today?” “Err, that we evil G.o.ds……” “Humans don't know anything about evil G.o.ds.”

Thus, no one will think that this is the work of evil G.o.ds.

“However, some definitely saw us. That overwhelming power and jaki.” “If no one says anything, they'll be lots of discussions, about who did this and how.” “Wa, haaa……”

Jeko wasn't able to keep up with the conversation.

“Then I'll skip to the conclusion. We'll say someone did it.” “Eh, are you going to tell everyone about Ashtal-sama?” “If I did that, we’d be putting the cart before the horse. If we convince the people that someone else did it, they'll consent to it. There are people who are fitting for that role near us.” “Were there?”

Julius smiles bitterly at Jeko's dullness. If it was Ashtal, he'd probably be beating him by now.

“50 years ago, there was someone who did something more amazing than this. If we said it was her, most people wouldn't suspect anything.”

While tilting his head, Jeko nodded. He didn't understand, but it was a pain, so he pretended like he did. If it was Ashtal, he would've socked him, but Julius didn't do such a thing. He just sighed.

“Over time, it'll be accepted as the truth. We're fine with that.”

For her, it'll probably become hard to live as a human. While thinking he was sorry for the inconvenience, Julius returned to the academy.

After dinner, Jiang Ping brewed a cup of tea for Lin Jingyang. Every night, Lin Jingyang's activities were to drink tea and read the newspaper.

"Zichen, the college entrance examination is the most important time in your life, you have to put in more effort, okay?" Lin Jingyang said solemnly.

Lin Zi Chen nodded and said, "I know Dad, take a good university entrance exam and study hard, only then will you be able to have good prospects, right?" "Hur hur, you've already said it more than a hundred times."

"This child …"

Huo Qing chuckled on the side. He didn't expect that his master would also have children. It was no wonder that no matter how strong an expert was, they couldn't help but reveal a childish side to their parents.

"Oh right, Huo Qing, are you and Zi Chen from the same dorm? The two of them have to help each other, to promote each other's learning. "

"It's uncle. Teacher and I... Zi Chen has a good relationship with him, so you can rest a.s.sured. "

Lin Zi Chen almost blurted out Huo Qing's words when he heard it. He immediately glared at Huo Qing and asked, "Dad, how has the house been going recently? Did Uncle and the rest find fault with us again? "

Lin Jingyang frowned when he heard this, "How can this child speak? What do you mean find fault with? That's your uncle. "

Lin Jingyang was a benevolent and loyal person. Although he had left the Lin Family with grievances, he did not hold a grudge. Instead, he maintained his respect for his elder brother. It would not be wrong to say that he was a bit pedantic.

Lin Zi Chen helplessly said: "Dad … …" Why are you still speaking up for him? That incident back then was definitely related to him. Hmph, to think that you would take the blame for it.

"Shut up, have you forgotten how I taught you when you were a kid? Disrespecting your elders is getting more and more outrageous. I really don't know how you managed to attend this academy! " Lin Jingyang glared, clearly angry.

Lin Zi Chen did not say anything else. He understood his father's personality, and would never change his mind just because of his persuasion. It seemed that he could only use the truth to speak for himself in the future.

Lin Jianzhong, you can deceive my father, but you cannot deceive me. Sooner or later, I will return all of this. The matter of you sending people to kill me, I will never let it go like this!

In the Lin Family, Lin Jingyang was undoubtedly the most talented and capable one. If Lin Jianzhong did not use such a method like framing someone, it would be impossible for him to get into the top position. For the past few years, the property of the Lin Family had been thriving in the Heavenly River City, and in Lin Zicheng's opinion, all of this should have been done by his father, Lin Jingyang!

After that, Lin Zichen did not continue to argue with his father. After all, he rarely returned, and he hoped that his father would be at ease when they met. He did not wish for any more arguments to arise.

In the evening, Lin Zi Chen and Huo Qing slept in the living room. Although the house was small and it was very crowded, Lin Zi Chen did not choose to stay outside. After all, even if it was crowded, it was still home.

Lin Zi Chen ordered Huo Qing to stop training tonight. He was also afraid that the aura would be bad for his family. After all, when a martial artist cultivated, they would be able to produce true energy fluctuations that were not something that ordinary people could handle.

Early the next morning, Lin Zichen was awakened by a knock on the door. He rubbed his eyes, got up, and went to open the door.

"You are..."

Standing in front of Lin Zichen was a man who appeared to be in his twenties. He was dressed in fashionable clothing, and it was basically a combination of a line of brands. Furthermore, he appeared slightly pompous, giving off the appearance of a tyc.o.o.n.

Lin Zi Chen was about to say something when Lin Meng Ran ran out from her room. Although she was still wearing her pajamas and had just woken up, she was still as pure as ever.

"Student, why are you so early?" Lin Meng Ran asked in a daze.

Only now did Lin Zi Chen know that the person facing him was actually the son of a martial family's martial arts soldier. He looked to be in high spirits, but when he thought about Lu Chenghao's evaluation of him, Lin Zi Chen felt annoyed.

Martial Army looked at Lin Meng Ran and laughed: "Didn't you say you were going to play golf today? Have you forgotten? "

Lin Meng Ran was enlightened: "Ah... "Yeah, I almost forgot. Fine, wait for me for a while. It will be done soon. Come, come in."

Then, she looked at Lin Zichen, "Zi Chen, this is the martial arts army, I …" Boyfriend, you guys can chat in the living room for a bit. "

Lin Zi Chen nodded his head: "Mister Wu, please."

If he hadn't known the character of the Martial Arts Army, Lin Zichen might not have used such a formal address. After all, this was the person his sister liked. However, things were different now. He was almost certain that he wouldn't approve of them.

Lin Zi Chen told Huo Qing to clean up the bedding and set down the sofa for the military. Huo Qing looked at him and gave Lin Zi Chen a look.

Lin Zi Chen immediately nodded his head. This master and disciple seemed to have a tacit understanding. Sometimes, they could communicate without words.

"Hehe, you must be Meng Ran's little brother? I've often heard him talk about you. My name is Martial Army. "

He stretched out his hand. Although he was a playboy, he had seen a lot in the world.

No wonder big sister likes him. He really doesn't look like a romantic Young Master when he's pretending.

"Lin Zi Chen." Lin Zi Chen only said his name and did not say another word. He even shook hands with him before withdrawing it. In his eyes, people like the Martial Army did not deserve his words.

He was usually the First Young Master of the Southern Water Sect. If this arrogant kid was not Lin Meng Ran's little brother, he might have taught him a lesson.

Afterwards, the living room became quiet. It was only when Lin Jingyang walked out of his bedroom that the awkwardness was broken.

The officer immediately stood up and called out to his uncle, but Lin Jingyang maintained his intellectual pride. He nodded and said, "You're here, sit down."

"Yes, Uncle." In front of Lin Jingyang, the Martial Arts Army was still quite polite. After all, he had already proposed to Lin Meng Ran and this was his future father-in-law.

Very soon, the sounds of quarreling could be heard from Lin Meng Ran's room. It was obvious that Lin Jingyang didn't allow his daughter to be with the Martial Army, but girls in love were crazy. How could his parents' persuasion be useful?

Lin Meng Ran walked out of the room. She had already changed into a new set of clothes and put on a light makeup. Although the two families seemed slightly different on the surface, Lin Meng Ran came from a big family.

"Student, let's go."

"Oh, okay, then. "Uncle, we're leaving." The Martial Arts Army did not forget to greet Lin Jingyang.

After the two of them left, Lin Zichen saw his father's dark expression. It was obvious that he was very disappointed with Lin Meng Ran.

Lin Zi Chen looked at Huo Qing, and Huo Qing stood up and said, "About that …" "Zichen, you stay at home with Auntie and Uncle. I'll go out and take a look at some of the scenic spots in the Southern Water."

With that, he went out the door as well. This was his master's order. It was obvious that Lin Zi Chen was afraid that his sister would suffer a loss. He asked Huo Qing to follow them and protect them while he explored the martial arts army.

Although Lin Jingyang was not in a good mood, he still went to the kitchen and personally cooked the tomato noodles. Lin Zichen also helped to help, and very quickly, the hot noodles were served.

"Zi Chen, when you were young, you loved to eat the tomato noodles made by your father. How was it? Did it taste the same as before?" Lin Jingyang said with a caring expression.

Lin Zi Chen's heart was moved, he even wanted to cry. When he was young, his father was very serious and strict towards him, he almost never used such a gentle tone to speak to him.

"It's delicious, Daddy's noodles are still as delicious as before," Lin Zi Chen laughed, "Dad, if I get money in the future, let's change to a bigger house."

Lin Jingyang patted Lin Zichen's head, "Silly boy, if you have money, you should save it properly. Mom and Dad don't need much money, our retirement pay will definitely be enough to support us."

Lin Zi Chen pursed his lips into a smile and did not say anything else. However, he secretly thought in his heart: Dad, I will make you take back everything you have lost. Everything in the Lin Family belongs to you.

After a while, Jiang Ping came back. As she did not give her son a sumptuous dinner yesterday, she had already left for the market early in the morning. At this moment, she was carrying chicken, duck, and fish, but her expression was that of panic.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Lin Zi Chen hurriedly took the item from Jiang Ping's hand and asked.

"Jing Yang, a few people came from downstairs. It looks like … …" He doesn't look like a good person. " Jiang Ping said in panic. After all, she was born into a scholarly family.

Lin Zichen immediately ran to the balcony and looked down. Sure enough, there were a few men who entered their house. Moreover, one of them looked very familiar. It seemed to be the dog who sold tickets on the long-distance bus …

"A member of the Wu Clan? "Hehe, it seems like our Young Master Wu has a bad temper. I've offended him this morning, and he wants to teach me a lesson now. He's really impatient …"

Lin Zi Chen immediately understood the purpose of these people's visit, but it's fine, just reveal your true nature as soon as possible, I'll also quickly let my sister leave sc.u.m like you.

Very soon, the sound of hurried knocking could be heard.

Lin Jingyang was full of righteousness, so he was naturally not afraid of anything. He walked up to the door and opened it. He looked at the few society members standing outside and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hmph, is there anyone called Lin Zi Chen here?"

Lin Jingyang and Jiang Ping were stunned and immediately said, "No, you found the wrong place."

Just as he was about to close the door, Dogman held it open. "No? Hmph, let's see! "

"What are you doing? Do you know that is called trespa.s.sing? I'm going to call the police! " Lin Jingyang shouted.

Dogman laughed, "Hahaha, call the police? Go ahead and report this, but I have to find Lin Zichen first! "

Jiang Ping hugged Gouzi and said, "No way, you can't go in. This is my house, you bunch of hooligans!"

Although she didn't know the reason why she heard it was related to her son, a mother only had the instinct to protect. At this moment, Jiang Ping no longer felt fear in her heart.

But how could her strength stop Dogman? Dogman pushed her to the side, and coincidentally, she came face to face with Lin Zichen who was walking out from the balcony.

Seeing Lin Zichen, the dog was stunned. d.a.m.n, is it him? What happened yesterday had caused him to not sleep well the entire night, and even when he woke up, he was still trembling in fear. However, he didn't expect that he would meet her again this morning …

Lin Jingyang was shocked by the awe-inspiring aura. It was as if he had never seen this kind of domineering aura from his father, Lin Ruijiang. He never expected to see an aura stronger than this from his son.

"Are you sure you want to see me?" As Lin Zi spoke, he walked forward. Gou Zi subconsciously took a step back. He lost his balance and fell to the ground …

"There's no need for that. Perhaps it will bring about some pretty good effects to the auction." Lu Chenghao elegantly flicked the ash from his cigarette, then smiled.

"Master Lu, don't tell me you didn't recognize him?" That young man is Su Nan, Li Tianlong's nephew. If something were to happen to him here, I'm afraid … "

Hearing his subordinate's words, Lu Chenghao chuckled, "It's precisely because of this that we don't need to care about it. Help Su Nan? Hehe, I will definitely not help Li Tianlong's men, help another person … I don't want to be enemies with Li Tianlong either. Xiao Dao, what do you say? "

Upon hearing Lu Chenghao's words, the knife suddenly opened and he said: "Hehe, it is still Elder Lu who is thoughtful. I am not thinking through everything."

The auction house had already quieted down. Generally speaking, before the auction, these booths were just for decoration. After all, the highest quality treasures would appear on the stage, and those who failed the auction would look away to buy these treasures.

However, no one expected that even before the auction had begun, the auction had already begun. Stone gambling was an eye-catching affair, especially since one of the two ores was worth a whopping 3.8 million. It was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the auction.

"Which piece should I resolve first?" The shop a.s.sistant asked.

Su Nan looked at Lin Zi Chen with disdain: "Since everyone is looking forward to it, then let me open it first, it'll save Young Master Lin the shame of spending tens of thousands of yuan on stones!"

Lin Zi Chen chuckled, "It doesn't matter."

"Alright then, let's get rid of Young Master Su Nan first."

A few service staff carried the stone undoing machine to the center of the venue. Then, according to Su Nan's meaning, they made a mark on the ore, which was the line where the ore was cut.

It was marked on the other side of the ore to ensure that the jade stone was as green as possible. As the jade stone was the easiest to extract from the other side, it was safer to start from the other side.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Nan's face was full of smiles. This rich young master had some experience with stone gambling. The rock on the ground was the best, and once the price was set, the chances of it dropping was the highest.

Luo Shi, just watch. I will let you know that I, Su Nan, am worth your choice. This jade is a gift for you!

Tss tss …

An ear-piercing sound was produced, and immediately after, the stone powder burst out, as if a ma.s.s of deep mist had covered a whole s.p.a.ce.

This was when everyone was the most nervous. Even if this matter did not concern them, they still wanted to know the result. Su Nan naturally could not avoid being nervous. Not only was it his three million and eight hundred thousand, it was also a matter of face.

With a cracking sound, a fifth of the ore was cut off, and the surface was completely the color of bluestone …

"No …." "No!"

"Three million eight hundred thousand …"

"It doesn't matter, it's still big right? Let's see if Young Master Su will continue trying!"

Without waiting for the person to answer the stone, Su Nan was already somewhat anxious. He said: "Continue!"

"Eh, Young Master Su, do we still need to be marked?"

"No need, in the middle!"

This was because what was being cut down was not only the stone, but also the value of the ore. If he immediately shouted for it to stop, this ore would still have a considerable value, but if it continued, then the value of the stone might very well plummet.

But it didn't matter. To Su Nan, three million and eight hundred thousand …. It was nothing.

According to Su Nan's words, after the stone was removed, the electrical machine and the sound of cutting could be heard, the ore split up again. However, this time the result was the same, it was still the same … … It was just a rock.

"Continue!" Su Nan really couldn't hold it in anymore. No matter how rich she was, if she lost like this, people would think she was a big spendthrift.

"Alright!"

… ….

"I'm crippled, I'm really crippled!"

"Three million eight hundred thousand. Young Master Su is still young, after all."

"Hehe, don't forget who Young Master Su's uncle is. So what if it's three million and eight hundred thousand?"

Su Nan's face alternated between red and white. This was probably the biggest blow he had taken. After all, this was not only a stone gambling, but also an opportunity for him to show himself in front of Lan Luoshi.

A few million yuan ore had only left a layer of green skin, how could he give it away?

Looking at Su Nan's expression, Zhu Pengcheng and Tian Yu, who were still in high spirits a moment ago, felt incredibly embarra.s.sed. They thought they would slap Lin Zichen's face, but who knew that young master Su would slap them himself first?

Lin Zi Chen smiled, "I did witness it today. Young Master Su couldn't even be bothered to listen to the sound of him throwing three million and eight hundred thousand yuan in the water. It's amazing."

When he said this, even Lan Luoshi and Sang Tianlei couldn't help but burst out in laughter. Su Nan is so angry. Brat, you cheapskate and act good. Do you think you can open a jade?

"Three million eight hundred thousand was nothing more than a game for me, Su Nan. What, Lin Zi Chen, you have to remove your ore as well, right?" Do you have sixty thousand dollars? If there's no me, Su Nan, I can pay for you! "

Hearing this, Zhu Pengcheng wished he could pull Su Nan and tell him that not only did Lin Zichen have some money, but he also had an evil card that could give a 50% discount in the sky … ….

But considering Su Nan's current condition, he did not do so in the end.

"It's only sixty thousand yuan, I can pay for Zi Chen. I don't need Young Master Su!" Sang Tianlei raised his head with a smile, as if he was also infected by Lin Zichen's aura. What was there to be afraid of? What was there to be afraid of!

Su Nan hated that she couldn't just go over and slap him. What the h.e.l.l are you doing? You think you're qualified to talk to me like that? Hmph, this Lin Zi Chen is a dangerous person.

A thought had already formed in Su Nan's mind, and that was this arrogant Lin Zi Chen in front of her, he had to die!

"Sir, please mark them."

Lin Zi Chen nodded his head, he walked up and drew a line on the ore with a piece of chalk, and many people laughed.

"Is he sick? The ore was so small, yet it was still brushed against it? Is this even a test of my skills? "

"Ha hha, he probably thinks that this piece of jade is all jade."

"Are you kidding? There's no sign at all. I don't think the powerful flashlight can even produce green light!"

"Yeah, what are you wiping at? Kacha is the most suitable for me!"

Lin Zi Chen didn't bother to respond to these words. He just smiled and stood to the side.

The sound of the stone dissolving machine sounded out once more. But this time, the truth was that no one was too nervous. After all, 3.8 million stones had been wasted. These 60,000 stones simply couldn't hold the interest of a spectator.

However, the moment the green light appeared, everyone subconsciously opened their eyes wide!

"Full... "It's full..."

"Oh my G.o.d! It's full of green!"

Everyone that collected the jade knew that a transparent jade was priceless. Plus, they only knew that jade was meant for fated people, so as long as it was of the highest quality, there was no price limit of a hundred million!

"Bro, don't try to solve it anymore. Let's do it!"

"Yeah, I'll pay two million!"

"Hahaha, are you joking? What a joke, I bid five million! "

"Just sell it to me for 8 million!"

Lin Zi Chen helplessly smiled, this auction hadn't even started, how could they already start bidding? He turned his head to look at Lan Luoshi. The latter had a blank look on her face, as if she still didn't understand what had happened.

"Continue to remove the poison." Continue to remove the poison. Lin Zi Chen said with a smile.

Awesome! Good courage! Many people were already beginning to think highly of Lin Zichen, it was not easy for a young man to have this kind of courage, because with this knife, 8 million suddenly became 2 million!

However, what made everyone speechless was … When the stone was finished, it was actually cut into the green jadeite on all four sides!

"Good eye, young man. Can't you get it out?" I bid 20 million! "

"25 million!"

Stone gambling was just like this, one's life and death depended on the knife, whether one was rich or dead was just a thin line, and Lin Zi Chen was undoubtedly the winner today!

Lin Zi Chen looked at Su Nan: "How is Young Master Su?" It seems like my broken rock is more valuable, don't you think? "

"Haha, Zi Chen, you're awesome. You brat, you're giving it away, but don't even think about tens of millions," Sang Tianlei laughed loudly. "That's right, Young Master Su. Your stone is useless now, okay? I need bricks to build a house in my hometown. "

Su Nan was so angry that her face turned white. She grinded her teeth but was unable to say a word. Finally, she coldly snorted and turned around to walk out of the venue. This scene, staying for even a second longer would probably suffocate him.

In the conference room of the 16th floor of the Tianhua Merchant Shop, people dressed in rich clothes were seated around the long conference table. Lu Chenghao was seated in the main seat, looking at everyone with a smile.

"Do any of you have any objections regarding the share of the auction?" Lu Chenghao said.

"No, Master Lu has always been this way. We all support you."

"Yes, Master Lu, you have the final say."

Lu Chenghao nodded his head and lit up the cigar in his hand, "CEO Yao, don't forget, when you want to auction that crystal necklace, you need to raise the price to six million."

A middle-aged man with a head back said with a smile: "Rest a.s.sured Master Lu, I guarantee that I will be able to complete the mission."

"Alright, I will draw 10% of your shares from the Blue Water a.s.sociation afterwards."

The middle-aged man smiled in his heart. He was Yao Kui, one of the famous figures in the Sky Region's entertainment industry. Although he couldn't compare to people like Lu Chenghao and Li Tianlong, he still held some weight in him.

At this moment, the door to the meeting room was pushed open and a young man in a suit walked in. He walked towards Yao Kui.

"Dad... That brat who hit me that day, came to the auction! " This young man was Yao Kui's son, Yao Yun Liang. The brat he was referring to was naturally Lin Zi Chen.

"What?" "Good, since you dared to hit my, Yao Kui's, son, then I would like to meet this kind of person. Master Lu, in your territory, please do me a favor!"

Although Yao Kui brought along his subordinates, the Tianhua Merchant House was Lu Chenghao's home after all. He wouldn't dare do anything rash without permission.

Lu Chenghao chuckled, "Hehe, Yun Liang, what's that person's name?"

"Lin Zi Chen!" Yao Yun Liang gritted his teeth as he shouted this name.

Lu Chenghao nodded his head. Just as he was about to say something, a call came in.

"Master Lu, that brat just now …. The jade was removed, and the jade was wiped all over the place. The jade is the size of two fists!

"What?" Lu Chenghao was stunned. Whether it's a coincidence or an expert, this is shocking enough, "he... "What kind of background?"

"We can't find him, all we know is that his name is Lin Zi Chen!"

"Hmm? "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenghao remained silent for a moment, then bit his lips and said, "Old Yao, I'm afraid that today … You can't touch this young man. "

Chapter 347: Chapter 347: A Little Struggle 6

Author: Joe Mai MACHINE TRANSLATION

Mu Ru continued to wear that sincere smile on her face, but it did not reach her eyes.

Just as the man’s hand touched the edge of her pants, when the man’s body was close to her lower abdomen, her hand was already in the pocket of her clothes.

She found the b.u.t.ton in the darkness and pressed it without hesitation. The Swiss army knife came out with a ‘Chi’ sound and went straight to the man’s lower abdomen that was tightly pressed, and then stabbed deeply into it… …

The smug smile on the man’s face changed almost instantly. The hand that was originally going to take off Mu Ru’s pants also stopped abruptly. He looked at Mu ru with an incredulous gaze, and then… …

He stood there motionless …

After half a minute, the man began to slowly step back and lower his head. With the help of the weak light here, he saw that his abdomen was continuously gus.h.i.+ng out a black-colored liquid… …

Sticky, with a fishy smell… … This is… … His blood ? ?

The man’s dark red eyes, which were filled with some kind of filthy excitement, were instantly filled with fear and disbelief.

He looked at the clothes that were slowly stained with blood, as well as the blood that was slowly dripping down the hilt of the knife… …

Xi Muru took her hand out of her pocket and forcefully pushed the man in front of her. Then, she swiftly pulled out the Swiss army knife that was praised by the peddler as very sharp from the man’s abdomen.

Their bodies were finally completely separated, but blood continued to drip from the blade… …

Xi Muru’s fingers moved slightly. She wiped the blood-stained blade on the man’s clothes before lowering the blade to put it away. She looked at the man who was already sweating from the pain and squatting on the ground She frowned and asked plainly,

“Do you have a cell phone? Do you want me to call 110 or 120? ”

Mu Ru had no intention of escaping. Moreover, there was no need to escape in this situation. Moreover, she was very rational and calm, giving the man two choices.

Of course, her intention was very obvious. When 110 arrived, she would explain the situation to the police clearly. She believed that her actions were self-defense.

However, if the man did not want to alert the police and chose to call 120, then there was nothing for her to do. She could just leave.

When the man heard Mu Ru’s words, he stared at Mu Ru’s calm face with a pair of shocked eyes.

He could not believe that he would lose to such a seemingly weak little girl in one move.

Mu Ru’s cold gaze swept across the disgusting middle-aged man in front of her. She was very sorry. Although she was a little gray rabbit that was often bullied, even a little rabbit would bite people when it was provoked But today, she had bitten someone.

In the past, she was indeed forced by her family to go to school. In order to have a place to shelter herself from the wind and rain, she had been living the life of a little rabbit that was at the mercy of others.

However, as long as she was given a chance, she could prove to the world that she had never been a real little rabbit. She could also become a cat with sharp claws.

She could not help but think of Dongfang Mo, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In front of that man, she could only be a gentle little gray rabbit because she did not want to put Zheng Yifan in a disadvantageous position. Zheng Yifan was the only man in the world who loved her.

Chapter 1316: The Mountain Summit is Quiet, the Foot of the Mountain is Madness

Fangzheng ran as fast as he could. w.a.n.g Yougui roared, “Fangzheng, stop right there! Take this!”

…

In the end, the two of them sat down and chatted.

w.a.n.g Yougui shared his thoughts.

Fangzheng said, “You can deal with the Frost Bamboo at the foot of the mountain yourselves. However, This Penniless Monk does not plan on selling the Frost Bamboo on the mountain.”

w.a.n.g Yougui asked, “Not at all?”

Fangzheng shook his head and said, “Patron, in fact, ordinary Frost Bamboo tea isn’t any worse than other good tea. Ours are truly pure, natural, and uncontaminated tea. Furthermore, it’s rare Frost Bamboo tea. As for the ones on the mountain, This Penniless Monk does not plan on selling them. In the future, This Penniless Monk will just keep it for himself.”

Although w.a.n.g Yougui felt a little disappointed, he eventually gave up.

Seeing w.a.n.g Yougui leave, Fangzheng felt as though he saw a huge stack of cash leave him. His tears were about to fall. His heart ached!

Fangzheng’s heart ached at the thought of money.

Finally, after closing the monastery’s door in the evening, Fangzheng roared, “Let’s go. Let’s open the box to check on the money!”

Therefore, Fangzheng led a group of disciples and came to the front yard in a valiant and spirited manner. First, he checked the money that was thrown at Salted Fish daily. Since he had not collected it for some time, the money had formed a small mountain pile.

However, with Red Boy’s Dharma spells protecting it, the money wasn’t affected by the humidity or destroyed despite being left out here for so long.

Fangzheng took his disciples and carefully searched the area three times. Only after confirming that there was not a single coin left did he take the money to the backyard.

Fangzheng smiled when he counted it. There was a total of 18,000 yuan!

“Haha… System, is the money that isn’t thrown into the Merit Box mine?” Fangzheng smiled smugly.

“Heh heh… If it’s not thrown into the Merit Box, it wouldn’t be your money. Have you forgotten the rules? You can’t accept money from other sources,” said the System lightly.

Fangzheng’s smile froze when he heard that. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “You are ruthless!”

Then, Fangzheng handed the money to Red Boy. “Put it in the Merit Box!”

“Uh, Master, why is that?” Red Boy was dumbfounded.

However, with Fangzheng looking like he was about to eat him up, he obediently stuffed the money into the Merit Box.

Fangzheng looked at the Merit Box and then looked at the time. There were still twenty days left until the lunar new year. Finally, he resisted the urge to open the box to check on the money.

However, he was extremely disgusted by the System. He closed the door and returned to his room to sleep.

In the next two days, Fangzheng continued squatting in the Frost Bamboo forest to carve his Frost Bamboo. Everything seemed to return to its peaceful days.

However, the world was getting more and more lively.

The Chinese and America’s allies discussed a few times, but nothing came out of it.

America requested for sky-high prices and broke many international rules. In the end, even its allies couldn’t bear to watch any longer. Many used their media to criticize them…

Even so, America refused to let China off unless it obtained something beneficial.

Especially at yesterday’s negotiation, America actually allowed China to export tea leaves to them. Top tea also had to be made available for purchase at a maximum price of three times higher than common tea leaves!

At the start, the Chinese negotiation party was stunned by the sudden request from America. However, they immediately snapped back to their senses. No matter why they raised this request, it was definitely unreasonable. Hence, they stalled for time to better understand the reason why.

Then, after finding out what was going on, they directly said to America, “Dream on!”

Hence, America claimed that China would regret it…

China could not be bothered with them.

The two nations spat at each other, allowing for plenty of discussion at the dinner table. However, there were still some who were worried. Although it wasn’t clear if they were really worried or faking it.

At that moment, Fangzheng continued his carving.

“Master, you have already carved so many armor pieces. How many are you planning to carve?” Monkey asked out of curiosity.

Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, “There are some that are done. There are some that aren’t satisfactory. Therefore, few are actually satisfactory despite the numbers.”

“Uh, Master, don’t you say that the seven to eight pieces on my right are ones you are satisfied with…” Monkey pointed at the few lonely ones on the right. He originally thought that Fangzheng had casually thrown them away.

Fangzheng nodded slightly. “Yes.”

Monkey covered his face and said, “This… The two piles seem similar.”

Fangzheng shook his head. “If I’m making it, I want perfection. Otherwise, I’d rather not do it.”

“Then what should we do with these unwanted ones?” asked Monkey.

Fangzheng said, “Leave them for now. Once I’m done, I’ll take it down and give it to Patron w.a.n.g Yougui. It should be able to sell for quite a bit of money.”

Monkey said, “Can’t we sell it ourselves?”

Fangzheng sighed and did not say a word. His heart was bleeding. He wanted to!

After Monkey left, Fangzheng looked at the flawed piece of armor in his hand. He frowned and mumbled. “Indeed, I can’t have people disturbing me. Otherwise, the error rate would be too high.”

Therefore, Fangzheng made a sign with the words: “Do Not Disturb!”

Then, Fangzheng hung the signboard outside. When Monkey returned. Fangzheng directly told him, “Don’t come without me summoning you. I’m preparing to enter seclusion and quietly gain Zen enlightenment!”

“Master, can we not make such lofty claims? Aren’t you just carving armor?” Monkey said disapprovingly.

Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him. “What do you know? Zen is everywhere in life. As long as one puts his mind to it, it’s possible to gain enlightenment. As the ancients say: there’s always something to learn from others. Regardless of who it is, there will always be something you can learn from them, much less something like Zen carvings.”

Monkey nodded as though he understood something. He bade farewell.

With this signboard and warning, Fangzheng’s tiny world became completely silent.

Taking a deep breath, Fangzheng held his breath and focused. He slowly closed his eyes.

For a moment, it was as if the entire world had fallen silent. All that could be heard was the sound of rustling bamboo leaves, the chirping of birds and the wind…

It was the pulse of nature. He listened carefully and carefully tried to take it in. The frustration in Fangzheng’s heart began to vanish before it turned still.

The moment Fangzheng landed the carving knife again, he fell silent. The knife in his hand lacked his usual impetuousness and deliberateness, but had an additional natural charm.

However, he wasn’t fast. As he carved down repeatedly, it was as if he was using the rhythm of nature. It was beautiful and pleasant to the ears.

Fangzheng was at peace, but One Finger Village was about to go crazy.

There was a deafening sound of engines as a convoy of hummers entered One Finger Village!

When w.a.n.g Yougui heard this, he immediately rushed out to check on the situation. The moment he came out, he saw the men in suits and sungla.s.ses! They looked like they came from the triads…

w.a.n.g Yougui subconsciously took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police. He thought to himself, “Has some triad boss taken a fancy to our profits? He’s really gutsy. He even dares to target us!”

Chapter 1616: Critical InformationTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Well, all said and done, the MDT decided to give it a try.

This was almost bizarro level as it was trying to store a sprite into its hard disk drive…

“Frankly speaking, no one knows how this works.” Hao Ren looked at the MDT, looking all ready as it lay on the ground, and the googly-eyed sprite who was staring at him before rubbing his chin, “I’m thinking that its a similar process to your scanning and storage of non-standard information. I remember that you have the ability to collect and compile all dispersed information state around you…”

“I really wished I never had that capability.” The MDT sounded awfully defeated.

The little sprite blinked as she looked at the crowd in front of her messing about, totally oblivious to the fact that it concerned her. It was when Hao Ren asked her to get into the hexagonal metal box did she only yelp in surprise, “What?! You want this sprite to get into that thing?!”

The MDT immediately recoiled angrily, “Manners! What’s with ‘that thing’ huh?”

The tiny sprite was shocked by the MDT’s reaction and shot up into the air, “But this sprite had been living in a crystal, how… do we get in?”

“Just get in like how you do so normally, just treat it as an odd crystal,” Vivian advised, “This is important, whether you can do it or not will affect our decision to bring you and your kin in the planet’s core out safely, understand?”

While the sprites may be scatterbrained, but they are by no means stupid and after hearing Vivian she became serious, before looking, almost duty-bound at the MDT, “Then… here I come!”

She then turned into a blue light before slamming face-first into the MDT’s sh.e.l.l.

Hao Ren and Vivian immediately face-palmed. This was just too much fail.

“It’s…alright!” the sprite scampered to her feet, her unique traits meant that face-first crash did not faze her much, and she had failed due to nervousness. “Let me try again. I’m sure to get it right this time! I got nervous looking at the metal casing and forgot to switch forms…”

“…Whatever, I’ve long given up resisting.” the MDT sighed.

After the next few tries, Hao Ren and the rest witnessed the little sprite smas.h.i.+ng face first in various angles on the MDT’s casing, while they knew that the sprite would not be hurt by it, but her clumsy attempts had everyone looking away.

However, just as Hao Ren thought it was going to be a waste of time and was prepared to move on, a faint light blue glow appeared around the sprite and the MDT’s surface.

The next second, the little one disappeared.

The MDT was too stunned to react and only recovered after a few seconds as it flew up, “Oh Oh, partner! That small thing came inside me!”

“Why does that sound G.o.d d.a.m.n perverted?” Nangong Sanba could not help but tell Wuyue before narrowly avoiding a tail smash.

Hao Ren had the MDT try to make contact with the sprite in the hard disk, and a moment later, the sprite’s visage appeared on the holographic display, with the latter happily dancing around a vast plain. “Woah! Incredible! This sprite feels that this place is even bigger than the crystals! I can’t see the edge of this place!”

“Don’t run about!” the MDT started nagging, “There’s a lot of important data in the disk! Wait, that cannot be eaten! That’s my picture alb.u.m! No touching that either, that’s the reports! You… You stay still for a moment, I’ll create a virtual s.p.a.ce for you, and stay there. I’ll create some VR stuff for you to play with…”

Hao Ren could not imagine what was going on within the MDT’s hard disk, but the latter seemed to spend quite some effort to get the sprite to totally quiet down. He then asked, “How much storage does a sprite take up? How many can you store?”

“Meh, mere droplets.” the MDT shook its casing smugly, “Their information make-up is very simple, and they only take up an extremely small s.p.a.ce, almost like the tip of a needle. I am an Inspector-grade unit, my storage is limitless! Come eight trillion of them, no problem!”

Hao Ren pursed his lips. This was the same thing that was struggling so hard earlier, and now its boasting all the way to the moon.

“Sprite, how many friends you still have around here?” Vivian asked as she looked at the tiny adventuring sprite on the holographic display.

“A few thousand of us!” the sprite gave a number that was reasonable for the MDT to store, “Should I call everyone here?”

“Will this cause a huge ruckus?” Hao Ren pondered.

“It won’t!” the sprite was jumping about in the holographic display, “We have created a screen around the planet’s core. It’s very safe! The monsters never found our hiding place after so many years! It’s because of the screen!”

“Storing the sprites into MDT’s hard disk would save us a lot of later headaches,” Vivian nodded, “When we take Amantir’s crystal the monsters will be swarming upon us, we won’t have time to even take care the little ones anymore.”

Hao Ren was trying to balance things out. The main objective of this mission was the retrieval of Amantir’s crystal, and with its capture, the path to the Star of Origin will be opened, so that cannot be abandoned as it is a ‘main mission’; but Amantir’s crystals would not be going anywhere, and the monsters outside had just been battered by the droids and the guardians, and their forces in tatters, it will take a while before they can pull off any major maneuvers, so this ‘main mission’ would be in a stable state for the foreseeable future.

And taking the chance to retrieve the sprites from the planet’s core does not sound like a bad idea.

The only regret was, they were a few defensive layers away from Amantir’s crystal, and the main objective was just a short distance away. It felt a little bit wasteful to come all the way here to then backtrack somewhere else…

But there was no other choice, Hao Ren knew that very well himself. The sprites could not be left behind. Asking him or his teammates to rush headlong towards the crystal while abandoning the sprites would not sit well with anyone.

“Right, so let us go get the sprites.” Hao Ren let out a huff as he gathered his thoughts.

The sprite within the hard disk did not know what Hao Ren was thinking, and after a few blinks, she spoke in her serious tone. “This sprite suggests you go to the planet’s core first, as you will definitely run into trouble once you take Amantir’s crystal.”

Hao Ren was baffled. “Trouble? What trouble?”

“Amantir’s crystal is connected directly to the monster’s Lair of Nightmares, if you take the crystal away, the dreaming biggies will immediately wake up.” the tiny one said with a whisper, even the usually carefree sprites would be nervous. “They had been dreaming for thousands of years, and who knows the number of monsters is in the dream! The whole planet might be pulled into the nightmare itself!”

Hao Ren and the rest quickly exchange glances: This little sprite had just dropped a bombsh.e.l.l on them!

“What nightmare? What biggies? Explain, quick!” Vivian threw all forms of decorum out of the window as she shot out her questions spitfire-like, “You say there’s a Lair of Nightmares underneath Amantir’s crystal? How did that come about?”

“It appeared not long after the guardians became monsters,” The little sprite started gesturing again, apparently thinking that it will help her all-over-the-place explanation easier to understand. “This sprite does not know what the Lair of Nightmares looks like, but some observation routes can still be used, so we know that s.p.a.ce appeared beneath Amantir’s crystal, and many many bad monsters will appear, created by a very biiiiigggg monster…”

The sprite’s explanation was getting more and more confused, and just before Hao Ren wanted to interrupt her, she suddenly recalled something, “Ah, remember the monsters you saw at the canyon! That’s the monsters appearing out of thin air beneath the platform!”

Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other before turning towards the sprite, “So you mean the monsters are summoned? Don’t tell me the summoning platforms at the bottom of the canyon has something to do with the Lair of Nightmares?”

“Those are not summoning platforms,” the tiny sprite forked her arms on her waist, “That’s an extension of the Lair of Nightmares! And those platform is linked to the big brains, and the brain monsters were originally the brains of the guardians, their duty is to dream!”

Nangong Sanba frowned as he repeated the word, “Dream?”

“Yes, dream, like the monsters in the Lair of Nightmares.” the tiny sprite nodded aggressively, “Those brain monsters at the bottom of the lair is to dream together with the biggies in the Lair of Nightmare, then project the things in the nightmare into reality, and the brain monsters on the surface are responsible for turning the monsters from the nightmare into an army and command them into battle!”

So that’s the truth behind the monsters? And the real source of the Amantir’s limitless army?

He remembered the information Salaman had given him earlier:

No matter how many they kill, no matter how many they had atomized, Amantir’s army was unceasing and would only get stronger. The rate of their reproduction even exceeded the battlefield scavenging or Amantir’s own production capability, and at least two-thirds of the monsters were illogical as if appearing out of thin air…

Hao Ren had thought that the platforms at the bottom of the equator canyon were for summoning, but now he knew from the sprite that those things are actually to create monsters from the dream, and the source of this horrifying nightmare, was just right below Amantir’s crystal!

Thankfully he had not gone ahead to pull Amantir’s crystal out…

“Using the nightmare to create an army huh,” Vivian shook her head. “A typical move by the minions of madness.”

Hao Ren turned towards the sprite on the display, “Say, why didn’t you tell us this critical information earlier?”

With an innocent face, the little sprite replied, “You didn’t ask… and this sprite had forgotten about it!”

Hao Ren was speechless.

Hao Ren did not intend to stay on the planet for too long; the wise ancient souls could take over the subsequent reconstruction work. The Petrachelys lifted off from the mooring platform, circled Requiem's jungle of needle towers for a while, and left. Hao Ren turned to the lens of the external monitor, taking a final look at the world that was about to regain a new life.

Like a crown of thorns nailed on the earth, Requiem was flas.h.i.+ng with lightning in the center where needle towers were connected to the huge tentacles. Some sporadic white yurts were scattered around the high-tech city. The tribal people called it the City of Miracles and gathered around it ready to begin a journey of the revival of their civilization. It was foreseeable that the indigenous people of the world would come from all over the world and gathered in this place where the people of the Sun Dynasty would listen to the teachings of the ancient souls to free themselves of ignorance to return to modern civilization.

Requiem would stand here and keep watching until the end of the day.

He was happy that he finally did not have to play the role of a mourner as the civilization was set on the road to recovery. Although the process was less dramatic, it was better than leaving with just a tombstone.

When the Petrachelys pa.s.sed through the surface crust, Hao Ren saw the excavation work was in full swing. Hundreds of light beams shot down from above and cut the crust out piece by piece. All the dirt on the land, including the hostile and mad twisted monsters, were burned into ashes by the powerful rays or would soon become a cloud of smoke in the mineral processing furnace. Huge crust fragments were broken into rock streams in midair, like the tentacles reaching into s.p.a.ce. The Petrachelys rose along with a rock stream. The sun shone through the broken clouds, creating a breathtaking scenery of awe and hope.

Hao Ren sent a probe to take a snapshot from a distance and post the image on the inspector's forum. He added a caption to the image: Scarred Nebula, the planet Inferno is reborn, tentatively named the new Sun Dynasty, the civilization has survived the harshest winter, as witnessed by the Imperial inspector, Hao Ren; co-witnessed by the mining division of Fairy Void Consortium.

As always, he posted the news and forgot about it, thinking that probably no one would bother to reply to the post of a rookie inspector. It was not until after finis.h.i.+ng a few regular reports. He asked the MDT to check the thread and was astonished by the overwhelming replies and comments from the inspectors around the universe. Some of the comments were like:

"You didn't blow anything up this time?"

Some replies were irrelevant; some were asking if his auspicious aura had expired; some were asking if it was an angle problem that the rising rocks were a result of an explosion of the crust, and some even asked if he had prayed before going to the mission. At last, he saw a comment from an acquaintance—Galazur, the dragon queen just a couple of minutes ago. "One like for you. Finally, you didn't use explosives," the dragon queen commented.

"Did I provoke anyone?" Hao Ren scratched his hair. "How did I get such attention? I'm just a rookie."

"Do you think n.o.body is giving you attention?" The MDT snorted. "You already have your epithet, and you're famous among the mortals. Not many inspectors like you could make a name for themselves even if they have served for thousands of years. You're talented," the MDT said.

Hao Ren was shocked. "When did I get an epithet?"

"The bomb-happy," the MDT replied with a sly voice. The tone of voice sounded odd from the mouth of a girl whom the MDT appeared in now. "There are more, like the deadly stare, which sounds coa.r.s.e. The more philosophical ones are 'The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception,' 'professional grave digger' and so on. Of course, they are not malevolent. You're not going to notice these things if you don't surf the data network."

Hao Ren had cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He recalled his works for the past two years, where most of the time he was tasked to recover dead bodies, or recently, dead planets. It would be too naive of him if he did not know what it meant to be 'bomb-happy" by now.

Lily poked Hao Ren with her finger. "Mr. Landlord, I think this sounds awesome."

Hao Ren flicked the maiden's ear with his fingers. "What could the feeling of awesomeness do? If thing continues like this, sooner or later, I'd become the most unwelcomed person in the universe. I didn't expect people as serious as Galazur could be so sarcastic."

"You can't do anything about it," Lily said, moving her head from side to side dodging Hao Ren's hand. "You're taking charge of the Plane of Dreams, where you know it is the biggest ruins, like a cemetery, there are wrecks of civilization everywhere."

Hao Ren pulled his hand back and rubbed his arms. "Let's not make a joke out of such a serious matter."

At this time, Vivian, who had been silent all this while, spoke suddenly. "Now I start to wonder why the G.o.ddess chose to send you a rookie taking charge of the Plane of Dreams."

"Probably because I have strong execution capability."

There was a silent. Then Lily poked Hao Ren with her fingers again. "Do you believe in what you said?"

"Yeah, I've never thought about this question." Hao Ren scratched his hair. The question began to bother him. "I was too busy, especially after each mind-boggling event, to think. I went from one mission to the next but never think of why me. MDT, do you think the Plane of Dreams is meant for the rookie inspector?"

The MDT was startled for a moment, and then it said with an unsure tone of voice, "There is no clear rule dictating inspector should take charge of any particular mission according to seniority, but it is usually a step-by-step process. The Plane of Dreams is a ma.s.sive historical site with a complicated situation, handing it over to a rookie inspector does sound unusual, but it's not without precedent. There had been a similar case in the Macroworld."

"Even though there are precedents, I am still a rare example, is it?" Hao Ren scratched his jaw, questioning his role in the mission. "I don't know others, but Galazur is more experienced and knowledgeable than I am, and she is the ruler of a civilization, she is better suited for the job of recovering dead bodies than I am. But why me?"

He added, "It landed me a freaking 'bomb-happy' epithet."

In reality, all he cared was his new epithet.

Lily sat in her chair, wriggling. It was habitual especially when she was in thought, usually when her mind went blank. "Why don't you ask your G.o.ddess since she is the one a.s.signing the mission?"

"Do you think she will tell me? She would have told me if she wanted to. If she did not want to tell you, she wouldn't say a thing even if you pester her for a lifetime." Hao Ren shook his head, totally knew Raven 12345's characters inside out.

"Then, what's your problem?" Lily asked. Since only the G.o.ddess knows why and you also know she's not going to tell you, why are you still troubled by it?"

Suddenly, Hao Ren could see things in a new light. It turned out that the female scholar had bottled-up wisdom, she would stun and open your mind with her wise words at the crucial moment.

While he was still impressed, Lily took a small brush out of her pocket suddenly. She turned around and put her tail on Hao Ren's leg and shoved the brush into his hand. "Since you are not troubled any more, come and brush my hair. It's itchy when shedding hair!"

Hao Ren was dumbstruck and was speechless.

Deep inside, she was still a husky after all.

18-4. Tales of Hero Hayato [1]

"Masaki-kun, can I count on you for it?"

Asked by my childhood friend, Tachibana Yumiri, I--Masaki Hayato went to a shrine near our school.

I was to fetch a talisman for Student Council.

Dunno why they need it now that third semester is over, but I can't say no to my childhood friend, not when she had so much on her plate already.

"Thou boy over there, pray tell what business dost thou have here?"

A cute girl with colorful hair called out to me.

She's got a weird way of speaking, probably mimicking some sort of anime or manga.

"Oh, I'm here to get a talisman."

"Umu, that is a good thing. Thou look like thou wilt have an agonizing future, do take a lot with ye."

Agonizing... What an amusing kid.

Wonder if I'm just imagining things or is her hair color different from before.

"Sorry, it's actually for someone else."

I could have played along with the little girl miko pretend, but ended up blurting out my real objective somehow.

"Fumu, well fine. This shrine's talismans possess a miraculous quality to them, use only when the need truly calls for it. It shall sweep away thine trouble, although only once."

"Was it only once?"

Shouldn't it have been thrice in that old tale?

"That is the case with three talismans. One talisman for one save, thou see."

Come to think of it.

I walked toward the shrine office while talking to the girl.

"Give this boy a talisman."

"Nn."

A little girl with almost light blue colored hair nodded, wonder if she's the girl's little sister.

My eyes gravitated toward a fortune slip cylinder while waiting.

That reminds me, I always had my fortune taken whenever I came here with Yumiri when we were little.

"Draw one."

I put small change as well as the fee for the talisman on the saucer and drew my fortune.

The fortune stick I drew had a lucky looking number of 77 on it.

"Fumu, 77 is it--a number that signifies thine fate indeed."

The girl muttered as she peeked from my side.

"Here thy go, 77th."

"Thanks."

I read the fortune slip the girl handed me.

[Hit] is written on the spot where either Good Luck or Bad Luck should be. Oh they've got something like this nowadays huh.

Person waiting, forthcome.

Journey, hards.h.i.+ps ahead. Consult with friends.

Sought after, hindrances. Better not fl.u.s.tered.

Engagement, on that side. Answer sincerely.

That sure is a lot of incomprehensible words on this fortune slip.

"Talisman."

"Ou, thanks a lot. Are you helping out? What a good girl."

I took a talisman the little girl presented.

Getting my praise, the little girl nodded while puffing out her chest, "I'm, good girl". Little girls are cute. Only my little sister or the baby faced Yumiri could rival this cuteness.

"Fumu, 『Hards.h.i.+ps ahead』 is it--go cleanse thyself at the shrine."

The girl which had a once again newly colored hair pointed at the front shrine.

I wonder if this girl is hiding lots of wigs under her sleeves or something.

Since I'm here and all, I tell her, "Yeah I'll do that." after tying up my fortune slip on a branch and go to pray at the front shrine.

It's been awhile since I put my hands together in a quiet shrine like this.

--Hayato-chan, what do you want to be like when you're all grown up?

I had a flashback of my childhood days in my mind.

--Me? I wanna be an adult who saves those in trouble!

Even today, I'm living my life true to those words I declared in my childhood.

"Umu umu, that is a good heart, a rarity among youngsters these days."

"Nn, pa.s.s."

I could hear the colorful girl and blue haired little girl having that conversation like they could read minds.

A moment later, light emerged below me.

I saw a magic circle straight from anime under the blinding light.

--Oh c.r.a.p.

My instinct prompted me to get away but my body refused my command and wouldn't budge an inch.

"Keep that talisman close with thou."

My consciousness was swallowed in the magic circle's light with the girl's words as the last thing I heard.

When I came to, I was floating in a light blue s.p.a.ce.

Words that feel like lumps of concepts resounded inside my head.

Looks like it's coming from a blue sphere floating in this light blue s.p.a.ce.

The image changed a bit.

Apparently I'm getting summoned as a hero.

My mind is hazy, I can't think straight.

An image of a little girl making a plea got transmitted to me.

This girl seems to be a little G.o.ddess who summoned me.

Apparently the little G.o.ddess has appointed me as a hero.

I strive to not desert those in needs and reach out to those who seem troubled, but I don't consider myself anywhere near the level of a hero.

A keen wish jumped into my head.

Wanting me to believe in the little G.o.ddess.

She wants me to be a hero and save the world.

Despite of that, she still gives me the ultimate choice.

But I can't just flat out refuse the plea of an innocent little girl.

Dunno what I can do to help, but I'll be sure to give it my all.

An image of the little G.o.ddess smiling broadly got transmitted to me.

Oh man, now you're making me blush looking that happy.

I see, she's lending me powers to save the world as a hero.

I hold my hands over the blue light as the image conveyed to me told me to.

First of all--the power to defeat mighty foes.

A small fragment floated out of the light and jumped into my chest.

--Strongest Pike (Nothing cannot be pierced)

It seems to be a power to pierce through everything.

Then the next power is decided.

Just like before, the second fragment of power came to dwell in me.

--Invincible s.h.i.+eld (Nothing can pierce)

The strongest s.h.i.+eld that can guard against any attack.

A power I need to accomplish my mission and to reunite with my little sister and Yumiri.

The little G.o.ddess urged me.

Looks like I can still pick another authority.

She's quite magnanimous.

Whoa there, I didn't say fat.

That was supposed to mean generous.

Is the little G.o.ddess bothered by her physique?

I held back my laughter while having fun.

Little G.o.ddess urged me once again.

I took my pick after pondering a bit.

Several fragments float around the blue light before one jumping into my chest.

--Unlimited Regeneration (Endless Heal).

An authority that can automatically restore all kinds of wounds even limb loss without magic.

I had considered putting everything into defense since I don't like pain, but since an attack that can get through [Invincible s.h.i.+eld (Nothing can pierce)] wouldn't leave me unscathed no matter how much defense I put in, or so the authority told me, I chose a way to recover myself instead.

The little G.o.ddess praised my picks.

The little G.o.ddess wished for me to master the Authorities she lent me and save the world.

That image came up in my mind.

Yeah, just leave it to me. I'm gonna go save the world.

Apparently I shouldn't overuse the Authorities.

Must be too powerful for humans since they're originally G.o.ds' powers and all.

Make sense, even medicine becomes toxic if you don't follow the dosage.

I left behind the light blue s.p.a.ce as the little G.o.ddess gave her blessing to me.

"We did it, hero-sama has been summoned!"

My hazy consciousness was aroused by an elderly sounding voice and huge cheers.

"Where, am I?"

I recalled the conversation I had with the little G.o.ddess in the light blue s.p.a.ce as I murmured.

I have been summoned to another world as a hero.

I get back on my feet and take a good look around.

Surveying the surroundings. There's a gigantic magic circle drawn with me in the center inside a solemn temple-like big hall, with men and women in priest clothings outside the circle looking at me. Those priests look dead tired like they're about to fall any moment.

Then, a dazzling group of people tore open a path between those priests.

A beautiful girl around my age, a handsome young man wearing a full plate silver armor like he's that girl's protector, followed by a big-breasted priestess slightly older than me, and an elderly lady with a sharp gaze in military uniform. As for the official-looking men around them, guess the fact that many of them have got beards is the only thing worth mentioning?

Suddenly, several pieces of information came up in my mind before disappearing out.

"Hero-sama, you have our most heartfelt grat.i.tudes for answering our prayers."

The beautiful girl knelt down and greeted me like it was a scene in a fantasy.

I found out the beautiful girl is called Maryest, a princess of Saga Empire, she's a year older than me at 16.

The knight is Jerid of Duke Orisagas house, 22 year old. Looks strong--the moment I thought that, information about how he's level 44 and all the skills he had rapidly streamed in like a chain reaction.

Not sure what's going on here, but having information that should be foreign to me flown into my head feels gross.

The big-breasted priestess behind the princess also greeted me. She's got a really strong sense of formal religious aura to her.

The knight and the military old lady were silent. Or more like, their gazes are scary. Their glaring eyes feel like they're evaluating me, quite unpleasant.

Urged by the princess, I was brought to a parlor inside the temple.

Some old men who look like cabinet ministers and officials were also going to accompany us, but the princess ordered them to disperse. She seems like quite a strong-willed girl.

"I am the 21st princess of Saga Empire, Maryest Saga. By command of his imperial majesty, we have carried out the [Ritual of Summoning]."

At first I thought the little G.o.ddess summoned me, but it appears these guys were the one who performed a hero summoning ritual.

On a closer look, the princess's gorgeous blond hair is golden colored.

I've never seen such a fantastical beauty in real life.

Would have been perfect if she were a bit more cordial.

"This man here is silver knight Jerid Orisagas. He's a prominent master fencer in Saga Empire, as well as a candidate for Hero-sama's attendant. Next to him is Sword Saint Burume Julberg-dono. She is a former attendant of the previous hero, she will be in charge of Hero-sama and your attendants' upbringings. Lastly, the lady over here is Parion Temple's priestess Loreiya. She may not have a high court rank, but she's the cream of the crop in holy magic among priests."

The princess introduced me to the three in the room.

But still, Loreiya's sure got a big rack. Since I prefer younger, [that's huge] or [she's probably got stiff shoulders] were the only things that came to mind, but the guys at my cla.s.s would have kicked a major fuss had they seen her.

"Would it be acceptable if I could have Hero-sama's name?"

"Ah, excuse me. My name is Masaki Hayato. Oh but I guess it's Hayato Masaki over here?"

I forgot to introduce myself till the princess pointed it out.

"Masaki? Is it written like 'Ripping Evil Apart'?"

"Oh no, it's Ma from truth, and Saki like Nagasaki--not like you'd get it though, it's written like yMasa and Ki from Kiseki--Princess-sama, do you know Kanji?"

"Yes, we have a few books pertaining j.a.panese language left behind by previous generation heroes in the Hero Study section of the library."

Come to think of it, we're talking to each other but not in j.a.panese.

"Now that you mention it, I'm speaking--"

"Saga National Language commonly spoken by the populace of Saga Empire. By G.o.d Parion's gift, Hero-sama can communicate with all people in every country, please don't worry."

That's handy.

Little G.o.ddess, thanks.

The princess also said, "I believe you can read words as well." and brought a bundle of doc.u.ments with her.

All of them look like curriculum vitae or personal history. There's more than 100 pieces.

"These are candidates for Hero-sama's attendants. They all have been carefully selected, we would like hero-sama to pick among them. Please feel free to consult to me or Burume-dono."

"--Your highness."

The military old lady--Burume-san interrupted her imperial princess's explanation.

"Your highness will be busy with the lecture for a while, right? Now that we've named each other, I'll take my leave here. Gotta drill those chicks before they could be of use to hero-sama as his attendants."

"I understand. They will be in your care."

This Burume-san is amazing. Her level is the highest at 52 among everyone here, and she moves like someone in her 20s despite being 83. She doesn't look like someone that's older than my grandmother.

"You're coming with me."

"Burume-dono, my mission being an escort to her highness means--"

"The hero this time is a decent one. Your escort isn't needed. And her highness's taken getting pushed down into consideration anyway, am I wrong?"

The knight got mad, "How shameless!", but the princess had no comment, only smiling lightly.

"Besides, it's not like they're going to be alone. Loreiya's here too. A virgin ain't got the guts to get to threesome right away."

Even though she's speaking the truth, my pride took a beating being told that in front of beautiful girls, but since that was her way of showing her trust to me, I didn't talk back.

Seems like life of another world's hero is bit more than I bargained for.

「Kyu!」

Today, it wasn't the dazzling morning sun or a knock on the door that woke him, but a cute cry.

「……Hmm……」

The first thing that greeted Rei when he opened his eyes was a small dragon about 20cm in length. It was Yellow, the dragon that Elena had created as a familiar.

「Ahh……what's wrong?」

「Kyu!」

Yellow looked at the direction of the window at Rei's sluggish question.

「Kyu!」

Continuing on, he looked at the letter on the table……the letter Rei had written to Elena.

Rei, who was watching on, finally understood what Yellow wanted to do. In short.

「You want to go back to Elena?」

「Kyu!」

At Rei's question, Yellow gave a small cry.

Seeing that, Rei brushed its head lightly before reaching for the piece of cloth that was used to wrap up Elena's letter.

「Here, come over for a moment. I'll do the same as when you brought Elena's letter over, it will keep it from being blown away by the wind.」

「Kyu!」

Hearing Rei's voice, Yellow flew over to Rei's knees, lightly flapping his wings.

Seeing that, Rei leaned over.

(The size of its wings is less than 10cm, but it can still fly through the sky with them.)

He thought about that, but saying that, it was the same for Set. The wings that grew from Set's back torso of a lion were large, but they still shouldn't have been enough for a giant over 2m in length to fly just by flapping its wings.

(Well, no matter how I think about it, it's not aerodynamically possible, I guess it's better to say they fly using magic.)

While thinking to himself, he wrapped up the envelope containing his letter with the piece of cloth before wrapping it around Yellow's torso and tying a knot.

「Even so, I hope you'll fly a bit slower. You arrived yesterday and are heading back today……you've been rus.h.i.+ng around for a while.」

「Kyu!」

Yellow shook his head at Rei's words. Because it was only this large to begin with, its flying speed wasn't that fast. Of course, it was still much faster than traveling along the ground, but it was still nothing compared to the speed of other monsters that flew through the sky. In that sense, even though it was by chance, it was quite fortunate that Yellow had gained the ability to become invisible. But even with that ability, it would take some time to get back to Anessis where Elena lived. It could be considered a blessing in disguise that it was a familiar, as a result, it wasn't necessary for it to eat any food and he didn't have to worry about eating. However, there was a risk that it would disappear if the magic power that Elena had given it ran too low.

In the end, it was impossible for Rei to command Elena's familiar, and with a short cry, Yellow jumped out the open window.

「Heh. As expected of a dragon.」

Rei watched Yellow as he saw it fly out the window.

It took it a few seconds to turn invisible with its special ability, but during those few seconds Yellow was small enough that it could go on its way without being noticed.

And because Yellow had turned invisible, Rei's sendoff also ended. He s.h.i.+vered for a moment at the cold winter wind that blew into the room before he immediately closed the window and put on his Dragon Robe. Then, quickly getting ready, he ate a meal at the cafeteria before taking Set out into the city.

Of course, his destination was the n.o.ble district where Baron Cisne's residence was, as per the request he received yesterday.

People who were walking through the city were wearing robes and coats, enduring the cold and hurrying around quickly while dyeing their breath white.

Rei and Set walked through the city like that. After all, Rei had the Dragon Robe which blocked off all the cold, and to Set, this degree of cold was barely noticeable. He looked very out of place given the harsh environment, but it was obvious who he was as he had taken Set with him, so not too many people paid attention to him as he walked towards the n.o.ble district.

He had visited the n.o.ble's district previously during the incident with Bolton, so he arrived there without any particular issues.

Some adventurers, who had been hired as gatekeepers, kept a lookout for any suspicious people trying to enter. But as they already knew Rei's face, they pa.s.sed through without any problems. After all, it was Rei and his Griffon, Set. The case with Azoth Firm that had happened a while ago was also very famous.

「Uhh, follow this road to the left……the third house? There is a bronze statue of an owl at the gate, so it should be easy to spot……ah, this is certainly the one.」

Rei, who was walking along the road, found the mansion he was looking for using the map Kenny had given him yesterday. But……

「Wow.」

「Guru~」

Rei involuntarily raised a voice of surprise, and Set gave a cry in agreement.

After all, the residence that Rei was looking at was clearly smaller than what he had expected to see after hearing of a n.o.ble's mansion. It was probably only 1/5 of the size of Bolton's mansion, which he had previously got caught up in a disturbance at.

Of course, it was still quite large compared to the homes of the general residents of the city, but it was still unexpected to say the least.

And unlike the residences of other n.o.bles, there was no sign of a gatekeeper at the gate of the small mansion.

「……Well, Set. How should we do this?　Do you think it's fine to just enter ourselves?」

「Guru~」

Even though he asked Set, Set could only look back at him puzzledly, not knowing how to reply.

「As an adventurer who is supposed to be promoted to rank C, I can't just intrude into a n.o.ble's residence without permission.」

To be exact, whether this request was a success or a failure, he would only reach rank C after reporting back to the guild. Because of that, Rei's current rank was still rank D.

(Anyhow……)

Rei looked into the mansion from outside the gate and gave a involuntarily sigh.

Looking at what could be seen from the outside, the mansion was properly maintained, at least the parts that could be seen. As for the areas that couldn't be seen from the road in front of the mansion, they were hardly maintained and left in a state of neglect……although not completely dead, there was quite a large amount of dead gra.s.s and trees. Perhaps if he had come to the residence in summer, there would have been a lot of weeds.

(The scale of the house and the state of the garden. Given how they look, it's not unreasonable that the reward is so low. It would probably right to say that Baron Cisne is poor. In that case, the condition for raising this request to rank C might have been discussed between the guild and Baron Cisne in order to both get what they wanted……something like that?)

Even though he had thought about it, he couldn't just head back, nor could he enter the residence without permission. Because of that, Rei, who was just standing in front of the mansion, became an unnatural presence……

「Hey, you. What are you doing there!」

And in that situation, there would of course be adventurers who had been hired to patrol the n.o.ble district.

Approaching Rei were a total of 3 people, a man in his 30's and a man and woman in their 20's. Each of them wore a matching armour and sword.

(As expected, n.o.bles like boasting of their wealth, or maybe because they would look strange wearing different equipment……actually, that's probably the reason.)

Rei called out while thinking of that to escape from reality.

「Ahh, I'm not a suspicious person.」

「No, no, I think aimless standing in front of a n.o.ble's residence is suspicious enough.」

The man in his 20's quickly replied at Rei's words.

His tone was light, but his eyes were observing Rei vigilantly. He moved his hand to the handle of his sword, ready to pull it out as soon as anything happened.

「……I will ask first, but why are you standing in front of this mansion?　It also looks like you've been standing here for a while.」

Seeing that the snow that had fallen at the front of the gate had all been stepped on the, the female adventurer asked.

「A mage with a Griffon. If I remember correctly, you're that adventurer, Rei, right?」

Perhaps he knew about Rei. When asked by the man in his 30's, Rei replied.

「Ahh. I'm Rei, a rank D adventurer. I received a request from Baron Cisne today……but as you can see, there's no gatekeeper. I was troubled as I can't just walk into the mansion without permission.」

「Ahh.」

The man in his 20's smiled in understanding at Rei's words. However, that smile was something that would be best called a bitter smile.

「……Just in case, let me check your guild card. I think there's basically no doubt since you have a Griffon with you, but just in case.」

「I understand.」

The man in his 30's listened to Rei's explanation, and seeing that the man's att.i.tude had relaxed, Rei took out his guild card from the Misty Ring and handed it over.

(Seeing this, it seems that the poverty of Baron Cisne is quite well known.)

「I have confirmed that you are a rank D adventurer, Rei. But, I think that if you just stay here as things are, you'll still be called out by the others on patrol aside from us……what do you plan to do?」

「No, even if you say that. I've received a request……」

As he was replying to the man in his 30's, who appeared to be the leader of the adventurers, a shadow rushed out from the other side of the road towards Rei and entered his line of sight.

「I'm sorry. Are you an adventurer from the guild?」

The person called out loudly while running. In terms of age, she was a girl in her mid teens, no different from Rei. Under the coat she wore was something that looked like a maid uniform.And in her hands was a bag containing food that she had just bought……

「Apologies for making you wait. I'm As.h.i.+eka, a maid who serves Baron Cisneaahhh!」

「Oh!」

The female adventurer supported the girl, who gave a cry as she was about to fall over.

「……As.h.i.+eka is a rare name.」

「No, that's not really true.」

The young man whispered as the man in his 30's retorted.

The female adventurer spoke while holding onto the maid so that she didn't fall.

「Are you okay?」

「Ah, yes. Sorry for the inconvenience……」

「It's fine. But it's snowing and slippery, so don't run too much.」

「Yes, thank you.」

The maid repeatedly thanked the female adventurer who supported her while bowing her head.

The younger male adventurer, who had been looking at her with some amus.e.m.e.nt, finally spoke after calming down.

「This person is an adventurer called Rei, he told us that he's received a request from Baron Cisne……speaking of what you just said, you're a maid from Baron Cisne's residence right?」

「Ah, yes. That's right. I was going to meet with you, but I had forgotten to buy some food. ……Ah?　Wow, is this the rumored Set-san? Nice to meet you.」

When the maid answered Rei's question……for some reason, she then went over to Set.

「Uwa~. It's really a Griffon. I've only heard about him.」

The influence of Rei coming to the n.o.ble district several times before was that rumors of him had spread even here. That was what Rei had thought, but it really wasn't true. n.o.bles all knew that Duke Kerebel, a central figure in the n.o.bles Faction, valued Rei highly. In addition, he had tried to reel him in due to the relations.h.i.+p he had with the General Princess, the symbol of the n.o.bles Faction. With regards to the largest faction, the Royalist Faction, Rei was being watched by them with great interest and they had intentions of making contact with him. It went without saying that the lord who governed this city was a member of the Neutral Faction.

「Ahh, I'd be glad if you could ignore Set for now. Well then. I've been asked to provided combat training……」

「Ah, yes. That's right. My master had entrusted me to request combat training for the young master.」

The maid bowed her head with a smile.

In order not to get in the way of her work, her blue hair, which was now fluttering, was trimmed to above her shoulders.

She gave off a naturally warm atmosphere as she smiled and turned to Rei.

「Well, so you can confirm that this person is the one you've requested for?」

「Yes. I guess so.」

At the female adventurer's question, the maid answered with a smile.

They judged that there was no longer an issue after seeing the situation. Among the three of them, the middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader nodded his head.

「There's no problem with that. Well, we are sorry for this. We still have to continue patrolling.」

「I understand. We apologise for the inconvenience.」

The maid bowed towards the three people again as they went on their way.

If you are looking for Legend Chapter 217 you are coming to the right place. Legend is a Webnovel created by Kannazuki Kou. This lightnovel is currently Ongoing.

After the three adventurers patrolling the n.o.bles district left, the maid, As.h.i.+e, turned towards Rei after seeing them off.

「Now then, Rei-san and Set-san. Please come in. I'll call my master right away.」

While smiling, she opened the gate and invited Rei and Set in.

Following her prompt, Rei and Set went through the gate, but…

「Guru~……」

Set gave an unfortunate cry.

At any rate, the door to the residence was not big enough and it would be very hard for Set to enter. Although his body could squeeze through, the wings growing on his back got stuck.

「Ahh……I'm really sorry but……」

As.h.i.+e looked at Rei looking somewhat troubled.

With a wry smile, Rei spoke while brus.h.i.+ng Set's head.

「Sorry about that Set. Wait outside as usual. If it's too cold you can go back to the inn, what would you like to do?」

「Guru~」

Set turned to look at the garden with a cry.

「Can he wait for me in the garden?」

「Ah, but……the garden is……」

Rei more or less understood what As.h.i.+e wanted to say to him. The garden as seen from the outside was neatly arranged, but its back was a different matter. Rei wondered if the places he couldn't see from the path to the residence were not as well kept.

「Don't worry, Set is a monster in the first place. There isn't a problem even if it is well maintained because he used to live deep in the mountains.」

「……Pardon me……」

For the residence of a n.o.ble, the maid was probably quite embarra.s.sed at its current state. Rei looked around as As.h.i.+e's face went red.

「That's that. Wait for me outside, Set.」

「Guru~」

Giving a cry to say that he understood, Set walked over to the garden.

Seeing that, As.h.i.+e guided Re into the residence.

Inside the residence, some things were as Rei expected and some things were way out of his expectation.

He had expected that the Baron wasn't rich even though he was a n.o.ble, but the entrance hall right after entering the residence wasn't decorated with any sort of paintings or artworks. It was beyond his expectation to see such a barren sight. Rather than calling it an entrance hall, it would be more accurate to call it a simple entryway.

(……Could he be, what people call a fallen n.o.ble?　Or did he make some mistakes in the capital and was sent to the frontier?)

As he thought about that, As.h.i.+e guided Rei to a reception in under a minute.

「Please wait a moment here. I'll call my master right away.」

「Ah, I understand.」

While holding her paper bag with with food, she apologised lightly before leaving the reception room.

Rei, who was left in the reception room, sat on the sofa and looked around.

「Here again.」

Speaking of the reception room, it was basically a room to accommodate guests who were visiting. In other words, it was room that could be called the face of a residence. However, in this reception room, like the entrance hall, the items that were likely to decorate the room of a n.o.ble's residence such as paintings, vases, ornaments, weapons or trophies from monsters and animals were nowhere to be seen.

After looking around the room, he turned to the sofa. The sofa may be a fine item for ordinary people, but there was no doubt that for n.o.bles, it would be considered inferior furniture.

(I don't know the reason, but there's no doubt that they are poor. That said, it might actually be interesting if they turned out to be just a miserly family.)

As he was thinking about that as he sat on the sofa, there was a knock on the door, and As.h.i.+e, who had just left earlier, came back in.

「Pardon me. My master and young master will be coming soon, so please wait a moment longer.」

Informing Rei, she picked up a cup of tea from the tray she held in her hands and placed it in front of Rei.

(……Heh. )

There was a faint floral scent coming from the cup as he brought it to his mouth and a sweetness spread through his mouth with a slight astringency as he drank some.

「Delicious.」

Rei spoke instinctively as he tasted the tea.

As.h.i.+e smiled happily when she heard that.

「It's good that it suits your taste. Actually, this tea was hand made by me. It's from drying the flowers in the garden……」

「I see, herbal tea.」

「Yes. That's right. My master also likes this tea, so I serve it often……ah, I'm sorry. Telling all this to a guest.」

She was happy that Rei had praised her herbal tea. Smiling, As.h.i.+e was about to continue speaking before immediately covering her mouth.

But to Rei, it wasn't something to be too concerned about, especially with regards to etiquette. If it had made him feel unpleasant it would be a different matter, but it wasn't the case.

「Don't worry about it. I don't know what other guests would think if they were n.o.bles, but I'm just an adventurer.」

「Thank you very much.」

As.h.i.+e gave a quick bow before suddenly turning her head towards the door.

「It seems the master and young master have come.」

Saying that, she moved to the wall. A few seconds later, the door was opened and two people came in, Rei stood up from the sofa to welcome them into the room.

One was about 170cm in height. A middle-aged man with a smile that looked more like a civilian than a n.o.ble. Although he had a mustache, it seemed to Rei that it emphasised his lack of care rather than looking dignified.

And next to him was a weak looking child about 130cm in height. He looked to be about the age of 10.

「h.e.l.lo. Are you Rei-kun?」

「Yes. I am Rei, the rank D adventurer who has accepted your request.」

「Ah, feel free to talk as you usually do. Even if you call me a n.o.ble, I'm just a poor n.o.ble as you can see. It wouldn't be strange for me to lose my n.o.bility at any time. It's not necessary for you to use n.o.ble etiquette.」

「……Well, then, if you're okay with that, I feel more at ease not using it as well.」

It was as Rei expected……no, it seemed that their financial situation was even worse than what he had expected.

(So that's why the reward was such a tiny amount of money.)

「As you should know from the request form, I'm Mouet Cisne. I have the status of a baron. ……Well, I say that, but I'm just a poor n.o.ble. And, here is my son, Baslero Cisne. Baslero, say h.e.l.lo.」

Prompted by his father, the boy called Baslero took a step forward.

「Nice to meet you. My name is Baslero Cisne. I am very happy to be trained by Rei-san, who I've heard a lot about in the city.」

His clever words despite his age of 10 was probably due to the education he received as a n.o.ble. Rei thought of that as he looked as Baslero, who had bowed his head energetically.

「Well then, greetings are done with. ……Ah, yes. As.h.i.+e, sorry, but could you get some tea for me and Baslero? All the herbal teas you make are delicious.」

「I understand, master. I will prepare some immediately.」

As.h.i.+e, who was waiting near the wall, gave a bow before immediately preparing some tea as Mouet had asked for.

「Now then, please sit down first. I will explain the request as we drink the tea. ……As you can see, my family are poor n.o.bles, to say the least. Though this may sound sarcastic if I said this to a poor person. ……However, as a poor n.o.ble, I'm glad to just own a residence with a yard. Well, I can't afford to hire a person to take care of the garden, so I have no choice tbut to manage it myself. ……All that said, I take some pride in the herbal tea made from the flowers in the garden.」

Mouet recommending As.h.i.+e's tea to Rei with such an att.i.tude was very unlike that of a n.o.ble.

Rei also knew how delicious the tea was, so he spoke as he raised his cup.

「Ah, it's definitely delicious. It's taste is good enough to be sold at a store.」

Saying that it wouldn't be strange for it to be sold at a store, As.h.i.+e's cheeks turned red. Rather than seeing As.h.i.+e as a maid, Mouet seemed to treat her more like a daughter. Next to him, Baslero also smiled happily seeing As.h.i.+e praised.

It was fine for Rei to continue the conversation for a while, but his reason for being here was to take on a request. Rei spoke to the three people, who had created the atmosphere of a family gathering.

「So, about the request.」

「Ah, I'm sorry. Let me see, as described in the request form, I would like to ask you to provide Baslero combat training.」

「I-I will be in your care!」

Baslero sat down as he gave a quick bow.

「……No, wait a minute. What you just said, what to say……」

Most people would have thought the same thing, but Baslero was just a 10 year old child and Rei was a bit confused as to why he would need combat instruction.

And, Mouet probably expected Rei's reaction. He brushed the head of Baslero, who was sitting next to him, with an awkward smile.

「Yes, I know what Rei-kun wants to say. You want to say that it's meaningless to have such a young kid undergo combat training for just a week……」

「Well, yes.」

Rei agreed with Baslero's words.In the first place, combat instruction was only for a short period of time, it didn't mean that he would be able to learn anything. In Rei's case, he had Zepairu's knowledge and his own amazing physical ability and enormous magic power. If they had the experience of fighting in the mountains as Rei had, they might be an exception, but ordinary humans would be unable to imitate him.And more than anything.

「My style of fighting is basically self taught. It's not from some sort of school or anything.」

(Well, since the Death Scythe was created using the Magic Beast Art, it can't be helped.)

Even in this world of adventurers and knights, there were very few people who would use a scythe as a weapon. If one wanted to use a weapon with reach, the spear was the most popular. Rei was the only person in Gilm, Baar or the dungeon to use a large scythe, which was overwhelming harder to wield in comparison to a spear. Of course, Rei wouldn't be the only one in the world to use a large scythe, but there were few enough people wielding one for Rei to understand the difficulty.

「To put it nicely, it's a combat style that I have refined in actual combat, but there may be some problems for n.o.bles to learn it. Of course, it won't be an issue if the other party is just sparring for practice, but in that case, there's no point in learning my combat style.」

「Yes, I know that. I know……but to learn a n.o.ble's sword technique, you would have to go to an appropriate school to learn their sword technique. And of course, the schools which n.o.bles attend are expensive.」

「……I see. 」

(This mansion……no, I wonder if it's big enough to actually be called a mansion. Anyhow, just looking at this residence, they are not likely able to afford that.)

While understanding it in his mind, Rei spoke up again.

「I understand the reason. But……is that all right with you?　As a n.o.ble, to learn my style……no, to receive instruction from someone who's style is best expressed as unorthodox.」

「Yes. Because I don't think there's a right or wrong way for strength. If you're strong, you're strong. If you're weak, you're weak. That's all there is. In addition……」

Baslero had a bitter smile on his face that didn't seem to match his age.

「My father has said this already, but poor n.o.bles are only n.o.bles in name. It wouldn't be strange for us to lose it at any time, so I would like to have the necessary skills in my hands for that time. Luckily, the city of Gilm has a good environment for living as an adventurer. ……In that sense, it might be fortunate for us in all the bad things that happened that we were driven from the Imperial Capital to Gilm.」

「Uh……it makes me feel weak when you say that so easily……Rei-kun, how about it? 　The person himself has also said he doesn't care about the means to become strong. Can I ask you to provide him with combat instruction?」

Saying that, Mouet gave a deep bow. His modesty and humbleness probably came from his struggles of being a poor n.o.ble. Next to Mouet, Baslero also gave a polite bow. Standing near the wall, As.h.i.+e also looked towards him as if pleading.

A few seconds pa.s.sed in this state with looks from the family and the maid. Eventually, Rei gave a big sigh.

In the first place, this request was one of the conditions of ranking up in a sense. He hadn't thought of refusing it from the beginning.

(And, my style's not the best, but it sounds like something I can do to spend my time in winter.)

Thus, for a week, Rei would instruct the son of a n.o.ble on how to fight.
