On the morning of the 35th day, the sky was still dark outside the window. He woke up to Luana's kiss. When he opened his eyes, he realized that she wanted to kiss him again, so he pushed her face away angrily. However, she moved closer to his ear and said," While Hilo is still sleeping, should we continue what happened last night?”
To be honest, Gongyou was a little tempted, but just as he was hesitating, Hilo, who was hugging his waist in her sleep, suddenly looked up and greeted him." Good morning, Mr. Gongyou, Miss Luana.”
"Well, good morning, Hilo," Gong You greeted her with a smile, then reached out to rub her head and straightened out a few messy strands of hair.
"Hmph." Luana grunted unhappily like a pig, then turned around and got out of bed to change her clothes.
"Mr. Gongyou, please close your eyes. And Miss Luana, please don't change your clothes here.”Hilo had been in preaching mode since early in the morning, and today she was also very much like a hostess.
"Alright, alright." Luana replied casually but didn't stop. She took off her underwear and put on the magic beast leather armor. Although she didn't have to fight today, it was better to be safe when she went out.
After the three of them had a quick breakfast, they took a few large suitcases and three enchanted backpacks and left. They did not bring any books because he could use Omniscient to search for information at any time. Books were not necessary. He usually held books in his hands and read them because he was more used to reading them. The two women did not have many personal belongings. Other than changing clothes, they did not have many personal belongings.
He ran all the way to the north gate. He was wearing dragon scales and even activated his enchanted bracelet. He ran at the front with the most luggage, while Luana ran at the back with the rest. Her weight was more than a ton, so this little luggage was easy. Hilo ran in the middle with her staff. She just needed not to lose herself.
The three of them arrived at the airport outside the north gate 20 minutes before the departure time. The magic airship usually departed between 6:30 and 7:00 in the morning, so the airport was crowded with people waiting to board the magic airship. The airport was blocked by railings that were several meters high. There were patrolling guards around, and only one large entrance could be used.
From a distance, one could see several huge airships parked in the landing field. The civil airships were more than 100 meters long, and the military airships were 200 meters long. The upper part of the airships was a long and narrow oval stabilizing device, and it was engraved with gravity resistance spells. The lower part was a rectangular enclosed pod that carried people and goods. However, all the airships could reach a maximum altitude of 800 meters and a flight speed of 110-150km/h.(30-42m/s). The voyage to the Capital of Commerce was about 1400 kilometers, and the sailing time was only about 11 hours.
According to Omniscient's information, the military airships were equipped with magic cannons. Their power was comparable to that of Advanced Spells, but the actual cost-performance ratio was only average. This was because magic cannons were not as versatile as spells, and the heavy body of the airships was full of weaknesses. Any Quasi-Epic combatant could easily dismantle the magic airships. Therefore, rather than building more military airships, it was better to use this money to train mages. The kingdom only built magic airships to intimidate the local nobles. It was just a small measure to strengthen the power of the central government. In actual combat, it still depended on the court mages who had mastered high-level magic.
There was no fixed standard for the power of magic, but according to his own experience, the power of a cantrip was equivalent to an air gun.(Below 2e2J), Basic Magic Power equivalent to Rifle to Machine Gun (1e3J to 5e4J), Intermediate Magic Power equivalent to Grenades to Rockets (2e5J to 5e6J), High Tier Magic Power is equivalent to Tank Cannon to Vehicle Howitzer Super Spells could be categorized into Epic-level against military-level Spells and Legendary-level against city-level Spells. However, some special Spells could not be measured in terms of power. For example, Petrification could destroy the atomic structure but had poor performance, Spiritual Shock could knock hundreds of soldiers unconscious but had no lethality, and Mudslide could use the difference in gravity to form a flood.
After waiting for a few minutes, it was finally their turn to board the ship. There was a security check when they entered the airport with the crowd, but after the three of them showed their adventurer tags, they were allowed to enter even if they had weapons. They climbed up the stairs and entered the double-deck pod that was more than ten meters high. The lower level of the cabin was the normal area and the warehouse with only crowded seats. The upper level was the business area with cabin separation and the advanced area that was only open to nobles.
Following the omniscient navigation system, the three of them arrived at a small cabin in the business district. It was a narrow space with only two double-decker berths and four beds. The middle aisle could only accommodate one person. There was a closed glass window on the wall facing the cabin door. They carefully checked the layout. Although they found the air circulation tube, it would be very stuffy if they stayed in it for too long.
As they couldn't walk around freely in the airship after taking off, the three of them simply locked the door and leaned against the window to observe the scenery outside. At this time, the airship had just taken off and was taking off and landing vertically on the spot. The three of them were lucky enough to see the aerial view of the City of Agriculture. Unfortunately, it was too early, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. They found their home along the street in the vast metropolis. It was an ordinary two-story building with a courtyard mixed in the civilian residential area of the East District.
It was not until the magic airship accelerated toward the southwest that Gong You shifted his gaze away from the City of Agriculture. Looking out of the passenger window, which was flying faster than large birds, he could see the magnificent natural landscape on the ground. It was completely different from riding on the ground. When traveling in the wild, they usually walked along the main dirt road that was rolled out by tourists between cities. However, the wilderness outside the town that deviated from the main road was mostly undeveloped woodlands and habitat occupied by monsters. Only a small amount of land was inhabited by human villages, so the environment on the route was quite primitive.
After looking at the wasteland for half an hour, he was a little tired. He left the window and sat on the berth. He closed his eyes and continued to set up the private service. This was a long-lasting and huge project. Now, he was slowly repairing the bottom structure like a fool moving a mountain. At this time, the two women were still excitedly looking at the scenery outside the window and did not disturb him.
.
About two hours after they set sail, at around nine in the morning, the two women were chatting softly, one on each side. Suddenly, the magic airship turned at a small angle, causing Shiloh's head to hit his chin. As the two of them held their heads and cried out in pain, they heard Luana's mocking laughter from the side. The two's comical looks amused her.
At this time, Gongyou had already recovered from his focus on editing the tactics. He realized that something must have happened to the magic airship, so he immediately used Omniscient to check the situation. However, he found out that it was just a trivial matter. The airship had just collided with a harpy that was resting nearby. This air traffic accident caused the airship to deviate slightly, and the cockpit would quickly adjust the route. The flight was not affected.
After consoling the two women that the airship was fine, he closed his eyes and continued to build his private server. However, ten minutes later, the magic airship shifted slightly again, causing Shiloh to fall into his arms. She simply hugged his waist and did not get up, while Luana hurriedly ran to the window to check.
"Come and look, there seems to be a fight outside.”Luana warned loudly. They were hundreds of meters above the ground. If there was a plane crash, the three of them would not be able to escape.
Gong You became nervous when he heard that. He carried Hilo to the window and looked out of the window where Luana had been staring. There were several Pegasus Knights fighting a large group of harpies in the air hundreds of meters above the ground. The Pegasus Knights were human knights riding on Pegasus, while the harpies were half-human and half-bird monsters. Their body and head were human females, but their hands were eagle-like wings covered with feathers and their feet were metallic bird claws. Hilo, who was hiding in his arms, also looked out of the window. She was first afraid, then disgusted, and finally reacted and immediately let go of her hands around his waist to cover his eyes.
"Don't look, those monsters are not clean. Mr. Gongyou, please close your eyes.”Hilo said that the monster was ugly, but the real reason she covered her eyes was because the harpy outside the window was swaying violently in the wind, making her feel a little inferior.
"Yes, don't look at those dirty things. If you want to see me undress, I'll show you as much as you want.”Luana nodded as well. She had already recognized the monsters. Basically, every Magical Beast Illustrated Book had a description of them.
"Miss Luana." Hilo reminded her angrily. She was at her wit's end when it came to her best friend of the same age who had become bolder ever since she returned from the secret realm.
He knew why Luana had been so emotional these past two days. It was because her biological age had just reached the most impulsive 19-year-old. In addition, she was inseparable from the person she loved every day, and no one taught her the correct concept of love. Therefore, whether it was physically or mentally, she was on the verge of exploding. In other words, both of them were in danger.
Luana turned around and made a face at Hilo. She then turned around and hugged Gongyou's arm as she asked," Gongyou, what should we do? If those airship guards lost, would the airship be dismantled by those monsters?”
He patted the two girls 'heads and told them to calm down. Then, he used Omniscient to investigate the cause and effect of the matter. After learning that a harpy had accidentally crashed into the magic airship and died more than ten minutes ago, the harpies wandering around the airship followed the airship in anger and prepared to take revenge. When the cockpit noticed them, it immediately sent the Pegasus Knights to deal with them. The fully armed Pegasus Knights angrily drove away several harpies that followed the airship. In the end, their numbers did not decrease, but instead increased, attracting the siege of dozens of harpies resting nearby.
The arrogant Pegasus Knights took the initiative to attack the Harpies. They were equipped with several pieces of military magical equipment that were comparable to enchanted equipment. The hooves of the Pegasus were equipped with miniature jet boosters, and the wings were equipped with extended gliders. The knights held lances that could emit shock waves, wore full-body armor with a protective field on the surface, and there were three small shields floating around them. Their combat strength was comparable to that of Silver adventurers. In addition, they had the advantage of flying. Even if he couldn't beat the gold medal adventurer, he wouldn't lose so easily.
The harpies were only at the level of mid-level adventurers, but their agile flight advantage allowed them to fight against bronze-plate adventurers. Therefore, when dozens of harpies surrounded several Pegasus Knights, the harpies with weaker individual combat strength had the advantage. The Pegasus Knights used their lances to shoot out shock waves with a killing range of 30 meters, chasing the harpies and flapping their wings to dodge in all directions. However, after the first few harpies were killed, they began to kite in the vast airspace. Although they could not break through the defensive field of the magic knight armor, they could rely on their numbers to continuously drain the energy storage of the magic armor.
The Pegasus Knights belonged to the Royal Airship Guard Knight Regiment, one of the Kingdom's Three Guards Knight Regiment. The other two were the Royal Capital Guard Knight Regiment and the Royal Griffin Guard Knight Regiment. As the elites of the kingdom, they suffered a loss due to the environment. Although the Pegasus Knights could move freely in the air, their dexterity could not be compared to the harpies. Under the situation where the harpies avoided the battle, the knights could not complete the task of expelling these monsters for a while.
After checking the information on both sides of the battle, he began to think of a way. If it was on the ground, even if he was surrounded by the Pegasus Knight and the Harpy, he was confident that he could win. However, when he was fighting in the air, his hands and feet were tied. Firstly, the three commonly used spells, Rock Spear (Intermediate), Rock Hail (Intermediate), and Mud Rock (Intermediate), could not be used in this situation because there was no medium for him to cast spells. Then, he could not use Petrification (Advanced), Spiritual Shock (Advanced), and Undead Creation (Super), the three strongest spells he had mastered. Petrification's range was too short, Spiritual Shock would accidentally injure the Pegasus Knight, and even if he wanted to use Undead Creation, there were no fresh corpses around him. Finally, there were only Spirit Suppression (Intermediate), Illumination (Cantrip), and three Life Spells (Basic). These were the daily spells that were sitting on the bench. Spirit Suppression was unable to lock onto targets outside of vision, Illumination was used in broad daylight to act cute, and Life Spells were useless without even thinking.
Of course, there was also the method of using Magic Scrolls, but there were more Harpies than Magic Scrolls in stock. Moreover, Magic Scrolls had a short casting range and could be easily dodged by high-agility targets. They seriously thought of a countermeasure until the magic airship shook again due to the impact. Only then did they think of a method that they had used before.
" Using omniscience to observe beyond the vision to assist magic, we can hit targets outside the vision.'Gong You decided to give it a try after he thought of this idea. If it didn't work, he would think of another way." It just so happens that the basic framework of the private server is about 5% complete. It can be considered a trial run for the private server.'
After instructing the two women to take care of his body, he put all his attention into the private server. The private server was not perfect yet, and he needed to block external interference and concentrate on the operation to barely run it.
'…Private server running…Private Mana Net energy module detected (10 grams of mana crystal coin, 4e7J of stored energy), normal…Overclock ratio 2.5, activated…Internal Mana Net spell activated…Connecting to external public Mana Net, signal normal…Spell slots activated…Magic incantation imported…Target's coordinates manually entered…Beginning long-range transmission…Mental suppression activated…'
A few seconds after the private server was activated, a certain harpy was wandering outside the battle circle 100 meters away from the magic airship. It wanted to attack the airship while its companions were busy with the Pegasus Knight, but its body suddenly froze, and it could not wake up for a while. Therefore, it began to fall from a height of hundreds of meters, and even when it fell to the ground, it did not break free from the mental suppression.
When the harpies discovered that their companions had fallen, they thought that they had been attacked by the pegasus knights, while the knights thought that it was the result of other knights. Therefore, the two sides continued to focus on fighting. However, after a few seconds, the second harpy began to fall, and after a few seconds, the third one fell. After that, every few seconds, a harpy would suddenly fall into a daze and fall. The harpy in front had not fallen to the ground and died. The harpies behind them also began to fall. In the air, several figures could be seen falling along a parabolic trajectory to the ground.
Gradually, the harpies began to feel fear. They lost their companions one after another in invisible attacks. Fear caused them to scatter in all directions, leaving only feathers fluttering in the air. However, these traces were also left behind as the magic-guided airship advanced. Finally, when the Pegasus Knights checked that there were no harpies following them, they returned to the airship one after another to rest their magic-guided equipment.
Gong You slowly opened his eyes under the adoring gazes of the two women. He subconsciously glanced out of the window and realized that they had already escaped. He led the two women back to the bunk and sat down to rest. He was exhausted just now. The private server was not fully set up, and forcing it to run required him to focus all his attention and extreme thinking. Moreover, the energy storage of the private magic net had been used up by seven layers in a short period of time. The magic slots stored in the Sage's Cornerstone had also been used more than thirty times. A few minutes was more tiring than half an hour of hard work.
"Common cause, common cause, you're really amazing." After Luana praised him, she took the opportunity to kiss him. He was too tired to stop her.
"Miss Luana, please have some shame.”After the Hilo gang scolded Luana, she looked at him with sparkling eyes like a little girl looking at a hero and said to herself," Mr. Gongyou, you're amazing. You saved everyone in the airship this time."”
" It's indeed powerful. The current private server can only project mental magic 300 meters away at most, but within this 300 meters, I can attack any target at any time and anywhere, just like…the prototype of Shi.'While stroking the two girls 'hair like a cat, he summarized the data in his heart and thought about the future development model of the private server. He finally found his own path and was no longer a useless person who relied on cheating in magic books.
.
Because he was too tired, he unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep. He needed to take a nap to recover his spirit. The two women woke him up near noon. Hilo grabbed his sleeve and rolled her eyes, not daring to meet his eyes. She wanted to speak several times but stopped with a red face. She was shy and didn't look like her usual serious self until Luana couldn't help but tell him the purpose of the two women.
"Gongyou, I want to pee." Luana opened her mouth and said a topic that made the opposite sex shy. Her feet were tightly pressed together. It was obvious that she had been holding it in for a long time.
"Then go ahead. Why are you asking me?”Gong You rubbed his eyes as he spoke. He understood that people had to be in a hurry, but why did Luana come to him instead of going to the toilet? It was not like a child needed to ask her parents to take her to the bathroom.
"We went to look for it. There's a repair sign in the bathroom.”Luana said with a red face. Behind her, Hilo was also acting strange. It seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time.
It was only through Omniscient Search that he found out that the toilets in the business district were indeed under repair. It seemed that the problem was so serious that it would not be repaired before the flight ended. There were people guarding the passage between the noble area and the business district on the same floor. It seemed that they would not be allowed to go to the noble area to relieve themselves. The ordinary toilets on the lower floor seemed to have just taken off the repair sign. At this moment, there was a long queue at the door. It would not be the two women's turn to use them for a while.
He thought for a moment, then turned around and took out a water bag from his luggage. He drank it in one gulp and handed it to Luana. Then, he stood up and said," I'll wait for you outside."”
After they left the cabin, the two women held the empty water bags and looked at each other speechlessly. However, Luana could not hold it in any longer and made a choice first. After all, there were no outsiders here.
After waiting outside for more than a minute, Luana quickly opened the door and pulled him into the cabin. As soon as he entered, he saw Shiloh taking off his pants and squatting in the middle of the cabin. Shiloh was furious and scolded,"Miss Luana, why did you let Mr. Gongyou in?" Luana pointed at Shiloh and laughed,"It's your fault for stopping me last night. Now we're even."
He held his forehead with both hands. Although there would be benefits after the battle, Gongyou felt that he had just woken up and encountered an unexpected disaster. It seemed that he and Luana would not have an easy time today. Just as he had guessed, the embarrassed and angry Hilo lectured the two of them for half an hour before stopping. Luana was still indifferent, but he was being targeted and could not refute it. He had a headache.
At noon, Gongyou rubbed his forehead that was swollen from the beating of his staff while tearing up the dried food that had been soaked in cold water and sending it to Hilo's little mouth. If it was too hard to tear, he would bite it with his teeth. When it was sent to her little mouth, she also opened her mouth and ate it. She was sitting in his arms, her head leaning on his chest like a young bird waiting to be fed. This was what he had promised when he apologized. Today, he would be at her beck and call.
Luana was sitting on the opposite berth, munching on her dry food. She was punished to not touch anything before going to bed, so she had to stay on the opposite berth for the rest of the flight. The reason why she gritted her teeth and looked at him was that he not only did not speak up for her, but also completely accepted all the conditions that Hilo had proposed.
He spent his free time in the afternoon resting with his eyes closed, but in fact, he was sinking his mind into the building of the Philosopher's Cornerstone. Hilo lay in his arms and obediently did his prayer homework. Luana did not cause any trouble. When she was bored, she leaned against the window and looked at the scenery below. The only small interlude was that when he wanted to go to the bathroom, Hilo stopped him, and Luana joined in the fun.
As they neared the end of the voyage, Louana saw the coastline in the distance, so she pulled Gongyou and Hilo and shouted. It was the first time they had seen the sea described in the picture book, and Hilo was also fascinated by the magnificent new scenery of the sea. He didn't even care that Louana had violated the punishment and secretly hugged his arm.
As they approached the coastline, they discovered that there were occasionally farmers on the ground leisurely fetching water and plowing the fields. It seemed that the monsters near the capital were regularly cleaned up. People would not be threatened even if they moved alone in the wild, unlike most areas in the north. If they were far away from the populated areas, they would be attacked by monsters wandering in the wilderness.
At dusk, the magic airship finally arrived at the Capital of Commerce. In the morning, due to the harpy attack, the flight was delayed by almost an hour. The three of them admired the charming port metropolis that was lit up and became a 'sleepless city' from the airship. From the sky, they could see the magic stone processing factories and magic workshops outside the suburbs. This was a developing industrial budding area.
On the airship that could overlook the commercial capital, they were moved by the long-awaited metropolis. Although the metropolis in this world was not even comparable to a prefecture-level city compared to the modern cities on Earth, compared to the border area with a total population of less than 100,000 and the rural capital with a population of 200,000, this place looked like a great metropolis.
After getting off the airship at the airport outside the north gate, the three of them followed the crowd to the Capital of Commerce. The crowd in front and behind them deliberately kept a distance from them. Even though they were young, the three of them were wearing magic cloaks with the same coat of arms. No one dared to provoke them. Those who knew their stuff stayed away, and those who didn't dare to approach them.
When they passed by the city gate, the guards only glanced at the adventurer tags of the three people and let them pass without even checking their luggage and backpacks. Those merchants had to open their luggage for inspection and pay the entrance fee before they could enter the city. After the three of them entered the city, they were in the northern district where nobles and churches gathered. They had to travel through the entire city to reach the southern district where they were supposed to stay. There was the most luxurious seaside hotel in the entire commercial capital. Fortunately, there was a taxi inside the north gate. The entire journey only cost 2 silver coins (100 RMB), and they could avoid the pain of running around. They could also enjoy a leisurely tour of the city with a coachman and guide.
The Capital of Commerce was the largest commercial city in the southern part of the kingdom. It was also the largest international trading port in the kingdom. It was the core territory of Marquis Blake's family. All the powerful nobles in the southern part of the kingdom supported the Chamber of Commerce and set up shops here. Moreover, there were many free merchants from neighboring countries and even overseas who came to visit for purchases or transactions. More importantly, it not only included all the Chambers of Commerce in the south, but also the offices of other demi-humans. Various guilds and churches had also set up their headquarters in the city as the hub of the south. As a result, the permanent population of the City of Commerce had reached more than 400,000, and the floating population was two to three times more.
Due to the overpopulation and the flow of people, a large amount of food supply was needed. The grains and vegetables that were easy to store could be grown by the nearby villages. As for meat, it was not enough to rely on the sea and the livestock raised by the surrounding villages. Moreover, due to the slow increase in population in recent years, the shortage of meat was increasing, and the price soared. This caused some foreign adventurers to work part-time as sailors to fish at sea to earn more extra money. It also attracted many villagers from the surrounding villages and towns to register as adventurers. Coupled with the mercenaries who came to the city to protect the merchant caravan, the private bodyguards of the big merchants, and the armed followers of the foreign nobles, the streets were filled with tourists wearing armor and carrying weapons.
From the North District, they passed through the luxurious noble houses and the church temples, then passed through the citizens who were strolling and dating in the central square of the city, then entered the South District, where most of the wandering martial artists were, and finally arrived near the luxury hotel diagonally opposite the Adventurers 'Guild. However, before the three of them could get out of the car, they were stunned by the scene before them.
.
At this moment, a group of people were fighting on the street in the south of the city, but the two most eye-catching people were a white porcelain adventurer youth around the age of seventeen and a boy who was only eight or nine years old and dressed in ragged clothes. The young adventurers were born with a pair of paralyzing magic eyes. Whoever stared at them would be paralyzed and unable to move. Then, the young adventurer would use random punches and kicks to knock down the mid-level adventurers who were frozen to the ground, while the boy carried a pitch-black greatsword that was taller than himself. An old man's deep voice came from the sword, constantly guiding the boy's movements. However, the boy did not react in time in the chaotic crowd. In the end, the sword controlled the boy's body to avoid the attack.
After a while, the street was filled with Adventurers lying on the ground. Only the last two people were standing in the field. They were the most eye-catching young man with the magic eye and the boy with the black sword. They thought that the two of them were in cahoots, but they found that the two of them were confronting each other after catching their breath. Then, the first to attack was the young man with the magic eye. He glared at the boy with the black sword. The paralyzed state that could not be dodged was attached to the boy with the black sword. However, when the boy rushed forward and prepared to attack... The boy's body was moved to the side by the pitch-black greatsword, allowing the boy to dodge the youth's attack like a marionette being controlled. In the end, the boy was turned by the black sword into a weapon and thrown at the youth's face.
The demon eyed youth was knocked to the ground. He covered his nose and rolled to avoid the boy's pursuit. The boy, who was using the pitch-black greatsword as a weapon, was not injured even though he hit the ground with his head. It was as if there was an invisible force protecting the boy's body. However, the youth was not so lucky. He dodged the black sword's attack in a sorry state. Although the youth tried his best to use the paralyzing demon eye to stabilize the boy's body, he was unable to interfere with the pitch-black greatsword on the boy's back.
This farce only stopped when the counter lady ran out from the Adventurers Guild to stop it. The demon eyed youth with a swollen face was still arrogantly mocking the boy, while the unharmed black sword boy was crying in fear of the battle just now. The black greatsword on the boy's back was arguing with the boy non-stop. It was a magic sword with wisdom.
"Hey, Kelly, I beat up all those Intermediate Adventurers. It's time for you to help me raise my Adventurer rank. First, raise my level to Advanced…No, I mean Gold Adventurer.”The devil-eyed youth said to the approaching counter lady. Although his face was bruised and swollen, he still had a smug look.
"You really dare to fight, but unfortunately, I don't have the right to help you raise your rank.”Kelly, the counter lady, smiled slyly. She had been annoyed by the young man with the magic eyes just now, so she had encouraged him a little. However, she did not expect the young man to really dare to find someone to cause trouble.
"Aren't you the daughter of a noble family? How dare the president disobey you?”The demon eyed youth who had just come from the countryside had not seen the world at all. In his heart, nobles were big shots.
"Hehe, this is the Adventurer's Guild. Even my father couldn't do anything about it, let alone me.”Although the counter lady was only a child of a low-level noble family, she was well-informed. She looked at the ignorant young man with disdain. The guild was an existence that stood outside the secular royal power. It only had a cooperative relationship with the royal family. Even the prince had come to be an adventurer.
"Then what about your relationship with me?”The magic eyed youth was in love with Kelly, the beauty he had just met. When he found out that she had lied about " leveling up after defeating all the adventurers in the hall," he immediately asked the beauty if her other joke was true.
"I only said that I would think about it. Now, I think that you still can't do it. Please continue to work hard.”Kelly, the counter lady, raised her chin and said proudly. It was unknown if she was lying or if she really felt that the young man could not do it.
"Then how hard should I work?”The demon eyed youth immediately asked anxiously. Ever since he awakened his innate demon eyes, he arrogantly felt that there was nothing in the world that he could not do.
"…Let's become a high-level adventurer first. I'll think about it again.”Kelly, the counter lady, carefully sized up the Magic Eye youth from the countryside for a while. Only when he was impatient did she say something that was either a joke or a promise.
Just as the demonic eyed youth was about to continue pestering Kelly, the boy was instructed by the pitch-black greatsword to walk over. However, the boy was too timid to speak, so Black Sword spoke to Kelly on behalf of the boy.
"Excuse me for a moment, I have already proven my contestant's strength. Can you let my contestant register as an adventurer now?”The pitch-black greatsword asked Kelly, the counter lady, in a weathered male voice. It was the one who had guided the boy to apply to become an adventurer but was rejected.
"Still not possible. It is the guild's rule to only register after reaching the age of 16. Even if this little mister is your contractor, it's still not possible.”Kelly, the counter lady, immediately put on a respectful expression when she faced Black Sword. She politely declined.
" My contestants can defeat gold-medal adventurers with my help. They won't be able to…" The pitch-black greatsword persuaded endlessly. According to its logic, helping contestants register as adventurers was the next step of the predetermined procedure.
" Your Excellency, your contestant is really unable to register. Why don't you wait for a few years..." Kelly, the counter lady, advised in distress. She had no right to change the rules and regulations of the Adventurer's Guild, so she could only try her best to persuade the magic sword to give up.
Just as the two sides were arguing until their mouths were dry, the city guards who had arrived late surrounded the entire street in front of the guild. Then, the boy with the black sword, who looked expectant and cooperative, and the young man with the magic eyes, who looked unlucky, took the two of them away with a sword, along with the Intermediate Adventurers who were lying on the ground. The people who fought in the street would not be able to come out until they were imprisoned for three days.
The surrounding crowd was still discussing this matter.
"That young man is really strong. He will definitely sign up for the competition. Why don't we bet on him winning as soon as possible?”
"That child's demonic sword is really strong. If you want to buy it, you have to bet on him winning.”
"Then let's go and see if they're on the list. We'll buy them as soon as possible before the qualifiers end.”
.
After the guards had taken away the rioting crowd on the main road of the southern district, the horse-powered taxi finally successfully pulled Gongyou, Hilo, and Luana to the entrance of the hotel. When the three of them got out of the car and Hilo settled the fare with the coachman, even the coachman shook his head and sighed."The competition will be held in five days (the 41st day), so the city is especially chaotic now.”
The three of them walked into a five-story hotel. If this hotel was placed on Earth before the Common Cause, it would only be the lowest level of private ownership. However, in the Capital of Commerce, it was the property of the feudal lord's family. Moreover, it was the most luxurious seaside hotel in the city. The top floor could even see the Haigang District dock directly over the city wall. Sitting in front of the window and watching the sunrise and sunset on the sea level was a major feature of this hotel.
Hilo walked to the front desk of the hotel and asked for a one-bedroom suite on the top floor. Then, she turned around and walked up the stairs with her arm around her. Luana was still thinking about the fight on the street. She felt that if she got involved, she would be one of the people lying on the street. Even if she could defeat the bronze adventurer barehanded or the silver adventurer with full armor, it could not change the outcome of her defeat in front of the Magic Eye. Unless…She glanced at the dragon scales that were faintly visible under the cloak.
" Hilo, look at this money... is it... hmm, it should be..." Gong You asked Hilo, who was hugging his arm obediently, but he still didn't know how to express himself.
"Mr. Gongyou, do you want pocket money?”Hilo looked up at Gongyou's chin after hearing his stuttering words, then continued to walk unhurriedly. She replied.
" Ahem, it's not pocket money, it's…it's…" Gong You was speechless. He had only just remembered when he got off the airship that after Hilo helped him pack his luggage last night, all his remaining coins had fallen into her control. At this time, other than the magic crystal coin that he carried with him to serve as a private magic net energy pool, he was penniless.
"Okay, I'll leave you some pocket money tomorrow morning. If it's not enough, you can ask me for it the day after tomorrow.”Hilo said calmly. After she took control of the family's finances, she was much more confident. She even dared to plan the entertainment expenses of the common people. She also emphasized," Please don't go to some dirty places, Mr. Common People."”
"Puhahahaha." Luana, who had been following behind the two of them because of the punishment, laughed loudly. She had her own little vault, so she was not threatened by Hilo at all.
Gong You turned around and glared at Luana. Then, in order to save some dignity, he deliberately changed the topic." By the way, why did you choose a big suite with only one bedroom? I saw that there seemed to be an empty two-bedroom suite at the front desk.”
"That room is cheaper." Hilo lied, blushing. She had chosen the one facing the coast to take care of Common's mood. It was the best and most expensive one.
"Hmph, we're all sleeping on the same bed anyway. Isn't it a waste to get two rooms? Besides, the big suite comes with a bathroom…Oh right, let's shower together tonight.”Luana said something that was very bad for a girl. Even if she only said it to Gongyou, he still hoped that she would have more self-respect.
" No, Mr. Gongyou might not be able to resist doing something..." Hilo refuted Luana's suggestion. She was now strictly guarding against the fact that Gongyou and Luana were alone.
"Oh, what exactly are you doing? Hilo, you'd better make yourself clear." Luana walked two steps faster and hugged Hilo as she teased him. She was punished not to touch common sense, but she was fine with Hilo.
Hilo was so angry and embarrassed that she did not dare to speak. At this time, she just walked to the door of the room, so she opened the door and ended the conversation. After dinner, the three of them ate in the living room of the guest room suite, facing the sea while tasting the delicacies provided by the hotel. After dinner, the three of them did not go out to enjoy the night view, but took a bath separately. They were the last in line.
While they were taking a bath in the bathroom, the two women took the opportunity to sit on the big bed and talk. Luana had thought a lot over the past two days. It was best for adventurers to retire and start a family after earning a large sum of money, or to be hired by powerful nobles after making a name for themselves. Otherwise, when their physical strength declined, they could only retire and return to their hometown to retire, or run some half-dead small businesses in the local area. No one could be an adventurer for the rest of their life. Most adventurers 'lives were like this. They started off with a bang. It ended peacefully. As for the exceptional adventurers, they did not survive.
That was why it was not enough to just form a team like friends. Luana, who had grown up listening to her father's adventure stories, knew that it was too late to have such thoughts. Even a first-class adventure team could not always maintain the same members. Everyone would repeatedly form and disband, and sometimes they would replace some of the old members to make the team stronger. It was normal to have such thoughts.
Although he didn't know what kind of girl Gongyou liked, whether it was the voluptuous Luana or the petite and cute Hilo, there were two types of girls. The more hobbies, the better. Luana would occasionally think boldly about some very exaggerated things, and she was also a person who would rely on her intuition to take action, and the results were usually not bad. Perhaps her intuition was so sharp and her luck was so good.
"Hilo, do you like Common Cause too?”Luana asked directly. Her relationship with Hilo was also extraordinary. There was no need for lies, deception, and concealment between life and death friends.
"Hmm, what about Miss Luana?" Although Hilo was a little shy, she still nodded seriously. She had confirmed her feelings earlier than Luana. Before entering the maze, she had already confirmed that she liked the common cause. However, she could not guess Luana's best friend. She could only say that she had changed too much recently.
"Me too. I didn't know before I entered the Secret Realm, but I stayed alone for three years before I understood. I love Gongyou, and I don't want to lose him.”Luana looked at Hilo with bright eyes. She could now understand her own feelings.
" You can't bear to…" Hilo asked, a little disappointed. This wasn't the answer she wanted to hear.
"Yes, I want it, but I can't bear to.”Luana said firmly. She used a phrase from a love fairy to express her feelings.
"Sigh, then…come with me tomorrow.”Hilo said sadly. She didn't want to lose her best friend, and she didn't want to lose her true love. If they continued to fight, she would lose both of them.
"You agree? Together?" Luana happily asked for confirmation. She didn't care if it was two or three people spending the rest of their lives together, but she was afraid that Hilo would care.
"Alright, the three of us will go together.”Hilo suppressed the pain in her heart and forced a smile.
"Hilo, you're so good, we'll win this way.”After Luana finished speaking, she threw herself at Hilo. The two girls rolled around on the bed to celebrate. She was afraid that they would be forced to make a choice. At that time, she only had a 50% chance of winning... or even less. Now, she and Hilo had a 100% chance of winning.
When the two girls were whispering to each other on the bed, he returned to the bedroom after showering. He asked them what they were doing, but they didn't answer. Instead, Luana pulled him down on the bed and rubbed him with her wet hair. He pushed her head away in disgust, but in the end, he helped her dry her hair with a dry towel under her coquettishness.
Hilo waited quietly at the side. When he saw Gongyou reach over after drying Luana's hair, he felt that it was inconvenient to do it like this, so he held the petite Hilo in his arms and gently wiped her hair. Luana saw it and had a look of surprise on her face. However, she did not make trouble, but hugged him from behind. Then, when Hilo was immersed in his tenderness and did not notice anything unusual, she used a slightly happy tone to blame Gongyou. Luana then sneaked away.
At night, the two women slept next to each other as usual, but they could sleep soundly after they had put down their worries. However, he had sunk his mind into the Sage's Foundation under the physical torture. Now, only the troublesome work could dispel the restlessness of his body. He only fell asleep when he was mentally exhausted.
