When White Crane, Tracy, and the others left the town, everyone in the town was in a state of panic. Some well-informed people had already begun to tell others about last night's incident. Rumors spread in the tea houses and wine shops.
Nasha was a child and was curious about everything. Evan was also a loyal communicator of gossip, so how could he let such an interesting thing go? Barker, on the other hand, accompanied Nasha like a knight. He, who had always considered himself as a flower protector, naturally could not let Nasha leave his sight.
Treny could only helplessly watch them squeeze into the crowd. In fact, she was also very curious. After all, it was extremely unusual for the military to mobilize continuously for an entire night in such a small town.
Today, the White Crane seemed to be a lot quieter. Even Elena's holy smile was a little strange. Although she was still smiling and chatting with Nasha and the others, she gave people the feeling that she was absent-minded.
Treney's sharp female intuition told her that the white crane seemed to have something on its mind. She wasn't particularly concerned about Bai He, but Bai He's origins were unknown. Although he saved her, bringing him back to the capital this time was related to her good friend's life, so she couldn't tolerate any mistakes, so she secretly observed Bai He's every move along the way.
Not long after, the three guys who had been scouting for information were satisfied and ran back excitedly.
"What happened?" Treney asked as she looked at them.
"Big news!" Evan deliberately paused for a moment. When he saw Treny and Gray's expectant faces, he began to say smugly,""Last night, a Dark Wizard and a god appeared here!”
Tracy was shocked. Dark mages were the symbol of evil on the Atte continent. Every time a dark mage appeared, it would inevitably lead to a bloody massacre. Now that he had appeared in the small town, she was really worried. And the god race would not easily come to the human world. Could it be that the demon race was stirring again?
The surprised expressions on Treany and Gray's faces satisfied Evan's vanity. He continued,""This dark mage has an extremely powerful evil power. He kidnapped hundreds of beautiful girls from the town. When a team of knights discovered that they were raping and killing a girl, the Dark Mage killed the girl and turned her into a zombie with Necromancy. A team of knights did not even have the chance to fight back before they were all killed!”
"Those knights seem to be Prince Ocard's personal guards!”Nasha added.
The corners of Bai He's mouth curled into a disdainful cold smile. Rumors had always been like this, right and wrong were simply unclear.
Humans never reflect on their own mistakes. Instead, they blamed all the mistakes on the alien races. Perhaps this was the deep-rooted bad habit of humans!
"How terrifying." Treny muttered.
"Yes, there are even more terrifying things!”Nasha said," Those knights released a magic signal flare before they died, attracting the 5,000 city guards of this town. However, the Dark Mage casually cast a barrier, and the army did not open it for the entire night.”
"Then a beautiful goddess appeared.”Evan continued," The goddess broke into the Dark Mage's enchantment, but she was knocked out by the Dark Mage with one punch. The demon molested the kidnapped girl in front of the Protoss and the 5,000-strong army. In the end, he molested the goddess.”
Bai He could only smile bitterly now. It seemed that rumors could really kill people. Looking at Nasha's blushing face, then looking at the ambiguous audience and the gossiping idlers on the street, he knew that the original rumors must have been even worse. Evan was only vague because he was concerned about the feelings of the two women in front of him.
Elena, who was following behind the white crane, was already angry and embarrassed. Why did everything that came out of a human's mouth become so filthy? What was even more tragic was that she found that everyone seemed to be listening to a story. There was no pity or sympathy on their faces, as if the ones who died were a few kittens and puppies instead of their own people. There were even some who were enraptured by the bloody and erotic descriptions.
Why? Why were these humans so numb, as if they were walking corpses, only able to survive in numbness and seek pleasure in evil desires?
Although he had become a demon, Bai He was still very satisfied with this. Rumors with erotic and violent content were the easiest to spread, and even the temple was powerless to stop it.
This was a seed. Doubts about the God Clan's prestige had already quietly sprouted in the hearts of humans...
The group bought horses in the town and moved much faster. Unfortunately, Bai He did not know how to ride a horse, so he could only ride with Ye Yu under Ge Lei's disdainful gaze.
Nasha was still complaining even though they were far away from the town.
"Sister Nasha, why didn't we stay behind to get rid of that detestable Dark Mage? And Gray, are you afraid of that Dark Mage?”
"Of course not." Gray looked confident." I believe we can get rid of him. The rumors are exaggerated. But we can't delay for too long. We still have to go back and treat Laurel.”
"Nasha, don't be stubborn. With your strength, you can't fight against the powerful Dark Magic. Didn't you hear that even the God Race is powerless?”Treney knew Nasha's personality. She always liked to stir up trouble but never thought about how capable she was. She was an arrogant girl who didn't know what danger was.
"Sister Treney, why do you always look down on me?”Nasha said unhappily," Besides, Sister Ye Yu is here. What's there to be afraid of? She killed so many zombies with just one move on the way! By the way, Sister Ye Yu, your Phoenix Flame Killing Dragon is really powerful. Teach me, so I won't be afraid of zombies in the future!”
Everyone burst into laughter…
Nothing interesting happened along the way. After more than ten days of bumpy riding, they finally arrived at the imperial capital, Dragon City.
Bai He looked at this magnificent city from afar, as if he was in a dream. After countless intimate contact between his butt and the ground, he could finally sit alone on the horse's back.
It was still morning, and the air was filled with layers of fog. The city in the distance seemed hazy, adding a sense of solemnity. Dragon City was a famous city on the continent. In history, the 200,000-strong alliance army of the five southern countries had besieged Dragon City, which only had 50,000 people, for three months without success.
White Crane silently endured the baptism of Evan's saliva splashing everywhere before learning about this history from him. 50,000 men had held out for three months under the siege of 200,000 men. This was indeed a proud achievement. Bai He knew that if he wanted to lead the demon race to conquer the human world in the future, he would have to face such a siege battle, so he paid special attention to these famous battles.
At noon, the group finally entered Dragon City. After leaving for so long, everyone could no longer suppress the excitement of returning home. Even Gray and Treney were smiling happily.
"I'm finally home!" Nasha shouted excitedly.
When Bai He saw this, his heart turned gloomy.
Home, what a heartwarming word! Unfortunately, he could only reminisce about it in his memories.
During the long years he spent in the space of consciousness, he had reminisced about his home countless times. He gathered the memories of his home bit by bit. That was his only pastime.
Only Elena could feel Bai He's emotions at this moment. She was unconsciously influenced by Bai He's emotions.
After a long time, Elena's longing for the Divine Realm increased day by day. When the sword of annihilation pierced through her chest, the grieving face of the Radiant Godking was deeply imprinted in Elena's mind. It turned out that the Father also had that kind of expression. When Elena thought of this, her heart was filled with happiness. That was the first time she felt fatherly love.
Everyone couldn't wait to go home and report their safety. Evan wanted to invite White Crane and the other two to stay at his house, but he was stopped by Tracy.
"Let's stay at my house. We'll go treat Laurel's injuries tomorrow morning. It's more convenient to stay at my house.”said Tracy. Right now, Bai He was her only hope. If anything happened and she delayed treating Laurel's injuries, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life. Thus, it was safer to let him stay at her house.
Bai He also secretly rejoiced. Among these people, Evan and White Crane were the closest, but if they moved into Evan's house, they would have to face Evan's endless gossip. Over the past few days, Evan's splattering saliva had become White Crane's nightmare.
Everyone agreed to gather at Treny's house the next morning to visit Laurel. Then, they couldn't wait to go home.
Bai He followed Treany through the streets. The bustling crowd gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had returned to the old days when he was strolling around Wangfujing and Xidan with his friends. It was just that the clothes of the people here were a little monotonous.
The attire of the commoners could not be any simpler. Almost all the females wore loose white robes. Beauty-loving women wrapped their waists tightly with colorful belts of various shapes, exaggerating the soft and beautiful lines of women. Most of their fair arms were exposed, and many of them wore all kinds of bracelets on their wrists. Rich people liked to wear beautiful ornaments on their heads, while girls from civilian families liked to wear their own garlands on their heads.
Men's attire was similar. Scholars liked to wear loose robes, which were different from women's robes. This kind of robe completely wrapped the body inside, and even the palms were wrapped by wide cuffs. More men liked tight-fitting short clothes, which were the favorite of civilian teenagers. They could save fabric and highlight the masculine beauty of men.
In comparison, the robes of mages and the armor of knights and warriors were much richer. Even though Grey, Barker, and Evan were all warriors, their armors were completely different. This was because Warriors and Knights were relatively rich, not to mention Mages, who were treated as treasures by various countries.
Bai He looked around the entire way, feeling like he was hunting for beauties on the streets in his previous life. However, he soon got tired of it. Compared to Elena, Ye Yu, and Trene, the girls on the streets were not worth admiring. Although there were a few beauties who appeared occasionally, their loose robes greatly reduced their beauty.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Yu and Elena returned to their original attire. They wore loose robes that covered their faces.
Instead, it was Treny who became the focus of attention of the young men and women on the street. After all, she was a woman, and her martial arts techniques were light. Therefore, the armor on her body was light armor that only protected her chest and crotch. Her fair arms, slender waist, and slender legs were faintly discernible under the dark red cloak as the horse swayed.
Even the middle-aged blacksmith who was forging could not help but put down his work and come out to look, let alone those hot-blooded youths from the Imperial Capital. If it wasn't for Treny's status and her terrifying martial arts, there would definitely be many rich kids coming up to hit on her.
Perhaps it was because she had returned home, but a faint smile hung on Treny's cold face. Her face was filled with joy, and the sharp gaze that had made people afraid along the way had also softened, giving her a different kind of charm.
White Crane couldn't help but secretly look at Treny. Along the way, he had never had the chance to admire the beautiful girl in front of him so carefully.
Unfortunately, women seemed to be naturally sensitive to other people's gazes. In addition, she had always been especially wary of the White Crane. Treney quickly realized that the White Crane's gaze was constantly on her. Out of a young girl's restraint, she fiercely glared at Bai He. Staring at a young girl like this was very rude to the people of this world.
The white crane helplessly shifted its gaze away. Suddenly, it saw five or six knights rushing over from the crowded street. The people on the street hurriedly moved to the side. There were many fruits and vegetables left on the ground, as well as the garland of the young girl.
Under Treny's disgusted expression, a few knights rushed in front of her. There were a total of five people. The leading youth in luxurious clothes let out a flirtatious laugh, then placed his right hand on his chest and gave Treny a knight's salute.
"My dear Miss Trene, I'm glad to meet you here!”The young man smiled.
He looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He had a fair complexion and was quite handsome. However, her eyes were dark and her face was pale. She looked like she had overindulged in sex. His peach blossom eyes were especially disgusting. Although he was performing a knight's salute, he kept sweeping his gaze over Treny's chest and waist, showing no sign of the demeanor a knight should have.
"Radman. Viscount Spiat, have you not considered the danger that this will bring to innocent civilians?”Trene asked coldly and politely.
"In order to see Miss Trene as soon as possible, what's the big deal about hurting a few commoners?”Radman didn't hear the mockery in Treany's tone at all and boasted shamelessly. Even if he trampled a few commoners to death, no one could do anything to him as a member of the royal family. There would naturally be subordinates to settle things for him.
Bai He knew that this youth was the Radman that Nasha and the others were talking about. No wonder Nasha hated him so much. Those knights who were tortured and killed by the white crane were the lackeys of Radman and his father. With such lackeys, it was not difficult to see who their master was. Although he was disgusted in his heart, there was still a smile on his face. From Bai He's face, there was not the slightest bit of abnormality.
"Oh? Then I'm really honored." Treney still used a cold and polite tone to deal with him." Viscount Radman, I'm about to bring my friend to my house as a guest. Can you and your men please make way for me?"”
"Oh? This person is actually your friend? I thought he was your servant!" Radman said loudly and exaggeratedly, causing the surrounding onlookers to immediately turn their gazes to Bai He.
Radman was very satisfied with this result. He glanced at the white crane with a provocative and disdainful gaze, then put on an act and said,"I'm really sorry."
" Lord Viscount, you don't have to take it to heart," the White Crane replied politely."With my attire, it is inevitable that the viscount will misunderstand that I am a servant.”
Radman had a smug look on his face. He didn't understand what Bai He was implying and thought that Bai He was afraid of him.
But Treney secretly praised White Crane for responding appropriately. This sentence was said politely on the surface, but it was secretly mocking Radman for being blind, only recognizing clothes and not people.
Radman was clearly a guy who didn't know when to advance or retreat. While he fawned over Treney, he continued to attack the white crane.
Trene had secretly left the Imperial Capital. No one knew where she went or what she was doing. Radman had always been pestering Treney, and when he learned that Gray, who had been pursuing Treney, had also disappeared, he was extremely jealous. Now that he saw Treny suddenly appear and invite a stranger to his house as a guest, his jealousy and hatred towards Gray immediately shifted to White Crane.
"Miss Trene, please allow me to escort you. Forgive me for being blunt, but your companion seems to be very incompetent. Why don't you come with us and let my subordinates protect him while you're at it?”
Bai He laughed in his heart. This guy was too stupid. Even if he wanted to attack his love rival, he couldn't use such a clumsy method. Calling her friend useless in front of Treany was simply not giving her face.
Bai He was still smiling brightly. After that night, he had matured a lot, and was no longer that carefree youth. The emotions in his heart would no longer be on his face. " Thank you for your concern, Lord Viscount," he said to Radman with a smile." I'm just a bard. I don't know magic or martial arts." However, I think that with the Viscount here, there will be no more shameless people in the Imperial Capital who would dare to pester Miss Trene.”
Radman thought that Bai He was complimenting him, so he became even more pleased." That's right. With me here, who would dare to act tyrannically in the Imperial Capital and offend Miss Trene!”
Treney almost laughed out loud. The " tyrannical and shameless person "…and " endlessly pestering Miss Treney " that White Crane had mentioned were obviously referring to Radman who had rampaged through the streets earlier and was now pestering Treney.
Even Radman's subordinates could tell what Bai He was implying. One of the knights had a strange expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was trying to hold back his laughter. However, he clearly knew how to be a servant. He knew that reminding his master would only be a thankless task.
Although Treny felt very happy, she didn't want to offend this little tyrant of the Imperial Capital. Although she was not afraid of Radman, it was not wise to make such a great enemy for her family. "Thank you for your concern, Lord Viscount. I don't think the security of the Imperial Capital is that bad." I'm tired from the journey, so I'll rest for a few days before going to visit the viscount.”
After a few perfunctory words, she finally got rid of this annoying fellow.
Like many nobles, Trene's house was not very big. The nobles and officials in the capital all had their own manors and villas in the suburbs. The mansions in the inner city were only for the convenience of meeting the emperor and handling government affairs.
Trene ordered two maids to prepare rooms for Bai He and the other two, then went to see her father.
In the evening, Tracy came to invite Bai He and the other two to dinner.
In the luxurious dining room, Bai He met with Treny's father, who had been waiting for him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, honorable Earl.”Bai He and the other two bowed. Bai He didn't know much about the etiquette of this world. Fortunately, Elena had been educated about the etiquette of the gods since she was young, so she had some understanding of human etiquette.
After a round of pleasantries, both parties took their seats.
Treany's father was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a square face and a pair of bright eyes. One look and one could tell that he was an expert.
Bai He carefully sized up this father that Trene hated. It could be seen that he was once a determined and courageous person, but time and environment had smoothed out his edges and corners. He had become more sleek and worldly, and the arrogance of being superior to others was clearly written on his face.
There was no mistress in the Treney family. This was the only reason why Treney did not completely leave the family. Although her father had abandoned her mother, he had never remarried, nor had he ever had a fling outside. Treney knew how deep her father's love for her mother was. Even though her mother had passed away many years ago, it had not changed. She knew how painful it was for her father to lose his mother. This was also the reason why she hated her father and all men. Why was love never the most important thing in their hearts? Why did those illusory positions and reputations allow them to make ruthless decisions that would make each other suffer for the rest of their lives? She couldn't understand it, so she could only hate it!
All kinds of delicacies were continuously served on the table. This was definitely the most sumptuous meal that Bai He had ever eaten since he came to this world. Bai He had a great appetite, so he didn't hold back at all and began to eat heartily. The noble etiquette that Elena had just explained to him had already been thrown to the back of Bai He's mind.
On this occasion, Elena's noble and elegant temperament was fully revealed. She politely thanked the host for his hospitality and elegantly tasted the food on the table. Every action revealed her noble temperament.
This made the Earl secretly praise her. Even the queen of the Empire did not have such a temperament. Where did this beautiful girl come from? A commoner could never have such an outstanding temperament and etiquette.
Although Ye Yu didn't have Elena's holy temperament, she was born into a noble family and had undergone a harsh aristocratic education. Her every move made people feel that she had an extraordinary family background.
The only person who was incompatible with this kind of aristocratic banquet was Bai He. He had never taken this kind of boring aristocratic etiquette seriously. His blood was originally filled with indulgence and rebellion. He hated the shackles of this secular etiquette.
The serving maid looked at Bai He in astonishment. Bai He ate as if he was eating a regular meal. Although he did not do anything indecent, as a guest, it was already very rude in such a noble family banquet. These maids had never seen such a rude guest in the Palace of the Earl.
Trene couldn't help but smile. She felt that White Crane was a very strange person. The guests in the Earl's mansion, whether they were commoners or nobles, all followed the rules and carefully followed the etiquette. However, White Crane didn't care about these things at all, nor did he feel that his actions were inappropriate.
In addition, every guest who came to his house would try their best to curry favor with him, talk about their lofty ideals, show off their family background and status, and show off their talent in martial arts. However, in the eyes of this young man in front of him, he seemed to be less attractive than the food on the table.
However, the Earl felt different. He was very unhappy that his daughter had brought home such a rude friend. He was a serious and old-fashioned man, a loyal defender of the aristocratic way of life. If Bai He had not saved his daughter, he would not have invited a commoner to dinner.
The white crane also noticed the look of disdain in Treny's father's eyes, but it didn't take it to heart in the slightest, continuing to enjoy the delicacies on the table. Bai He didn't care about what others thought of him.
The dinner ended in this strange atmosphere…
