Chapter 89 A Problem? Alice's Tenth BirthdayIn the world of Jobless Reincarnation, about a year passed. Philip, with the help of Cid's weakened Magic tools and Princess Ariel, successfully became the head of the Boreas Family.At the same time, he banished James, the former head, to a remote village, intending for him to spend the rest of his life there, completely removed from the kingdom's power struggles.Incidentally, with the addition of the Boreas Family, Princess Ariel's supporters finally became stronger than Second Prince Halfas.This was a much-needed shift from a perpetually precarious situation.Therefore, Ariel always mediated the occasional conflicts that arose between the Boreas Family and the Notos Family.She managed to ensure that the two noble families, both among the four great lords, could coexist relatively harmoniously, preventing any serious conflicts from erupting.At the Boreas Residence, the servants appeared noticeably busier than usual, as if preparing for a significant holiday.Cid was not surprised by this change; after all, Eris's tenth birthday was approaching, and ample preparations were necessary.This was to host a grand banquet befitting a high-ranking noble.Recently, Eris's dancing was still a mess, just like in the original story; she simply couldn't learn from her etiquette teacher, Edna.This time, it wasn't that she didn't want to learn; she simply couldn't.She wanted to perform well at her birthday banquet, not disgrace the Boreas Family, and impress the visiting nobles.However, she might truly lack dancing talent; she kept making no progress, and even she found her dance steps distasteful, like a wild chicken dancing.Thus, Eris was in a very bad mood. She skipped Cid's magic class and lay on a haystack in the stable, looking utterly dejected.She no longer held any hope of learning to dance and had entered a state of giving up.Cid looked at the despondent Eris, slowly walked over, sat beside her, and then gazed at her ruby eyes, which had lost some of their luster."Are you planning to give up?""I tried, but it was useless!"Eris maintained her lying posture, her legs, clad in snow-white stockings, spread wide, her black skirt fanning out, and sadness in her red eyes."I have a way to teach you how to dance. Do you want to try?"A slight smile appeared on Cid's handsome face.Solving Eris's current problem was simple; the original story clearly stated the method, and he just needed to copy it."You're lying!"Suspicion flickered in Eris's eyes. She was very aware of her dancing talent; learning to dance would be as difficult as teaching an old sow to climb a tree!"I'm not lying to you."Cid sighed, an expression of exasperation on his face.Eris looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but believe him a little. Could he really have a way to teach her to dance?"Please teach me!"Without hesitation, she immediately sat up from the haystack.Cid smiled and nodded, also standing up."This isn't suitable for dancing. Let's find another place."...After Cid's teaching session ended, Eris managed to learn to dance using feints from swordsmanship, successfully grasping the rhythm needed for dancing.From now on, as long as she practiced this way, she definitely wouldn't make a fool of herself on her birthday.After this incident, her admiration for Cid grew even stronger, transforming into a feeling similar to what she had for Rudeus in the original story.In the etiquette classroom, Edna touched her cheek with one hand, her eyes revealing admiration as she looked at Cid.This problem had bothered her for a long time, and she hadn't expected it to be solved in such a way. He truly was a clever and handsome boy."Teacher Edna, you just need to teach Eris in the way we just did. Other teaching methods are not suitable for her."Cid looked at Edna and explained."I will. Thank you for your help, Teacher Cid!"Edna smiled and nodded.He was a magic teacher, so it was indeed appropriate to call him that."Cid, are you planning to leave here?"Eris vaguely realized something and suddenly turned her head to look at Cid, asking.Cid was slightly surprised. Eris could guess? Was she that perceptive?"That's right. I'm leaving for a few days to visit my family."Eris initially felt reluctant, but hearing that he was going to visit his family, the words she wanted to use to stop him got stuck in her throat."Alright! I'll explain the situation to father for you!"In the end, she feigned a calm expression and didn't stop him.It was only for a few days, not like he wouldn't be coming back.Cid nodded; this saved him another task, as he wouldn't need to ask Philip for leave.Soon, the two left the etiquette classroom and walked slowly on the stone path."Cid, what about your birthday?"After much deliberation, Eris finally raised her fair little face and asked the question.Philip knew Cid's birthday was in the next few days, a few days before Eris's. Their birthdays were very close.They had also prepared a birthday banquet for Cid, but he suddenly wanted to leave for a few days to visit his relatives, so the birthday celebration definitely couldn't be held."Birthday?"Cid looked puzzled, then enlightened. He had forgotten that his birthday was in a few days.Because he never had the habit of celebrating his birthday in his previous life."Don't worry, I should be celebrating it at home."Cid thought of his mother, Zenith, and replied.Eris felt a little regretful upon hearing this, as she couldn't personally celebrate his birthday, but she would definitely still prepare a birthday gift.She needed to carefully consider what gift to give him when he returned....Upon returning to his room, Cid made preparations, putting all the necessary travel items into his Devouring Pouch space, making the room temporarily quite tidy.He didn't intend to notify Rudeus; he simply left a letter on the wooden table and then directly left the Boreas Residence.After walking out of Roya Town and confirming that no one was around, he took out a black tiger from his Devouring Pouch space to use as a substitute for a carriage.He had taken some time to visit the Demon Slayer World to collect certain resources, materials for forging Magic tools, and to retrieve his clone.He could freely control the flow of time in the Demon Slayer World, so he no longer needed the clone. If he were to enter the Demon Slayer Worldnow, the people inside would only feel like a second had passed.There wasn't much use in keeping the clone; it was better to retrieve it.He now had resources from an entire world, so he no longer had to worry about a lack of ordinary forging materials and could spend freely.Creating a black tiger was a piece of cake!The Demon Slayer World also had unique ores, Scarlet Ore and Scarlet Iron Sand, which he had also collected for research.He wanted to see if he could forge some useful Magic tools.
Chapter 90 Paul: How could you do this to your mother!Since the mode of transport was no longer a carriage, the time to reach Buena Village was much shorter than last time, only about three or four hours of travel.If he hadn't deliberately chosen unpopulated roads, it might have been even faster.The Black Tiger was too astonishing; it wouldn't be good for ordinary villagers to see it.Cid put the Black Tiger back into his Devouring Pouch space, entered the vicinity of Buena Village, and quickly headed home, his heart filled with anticipation.In one year, his two younger sisters, Aisha and Norn, were already over two years old; ordinary infants at this age would start to speak.He wondered if they had learned to speak.Thinking of this, Cid couldn't help but curve his lips into a slight smile, and he quickened his pace again, wanting to return quickly to see his adorable two younger sisters.Both sides were covered in golden wheat fields, swaying in waves with the gentle breeze, forming a beautiful, unique countryside scenery.Cid walked along the dry dirt road, occasionally passing by villagers.Most of these villagers knew him and all waved to greet him.He naturally smiled and waved back to these simple villagers.At this moment, a figure appearing ahead inexplicably felt familiar to him; as he got closer, he realized it was a voluptuous beautiful woman.She had long black hair flowing over her shoulders and carried a basket of fruit in her hand.Hearing footsteps from behind, the beautiful woman curiously turned around to look, revealing a fair and stunningly beautiful face."Little Cid?!"Surprise flashed in Emily's eyes; she was clearly surprised that the person behind her was Cid.She had heard from Paul that he had gone to Roawith his brother to a certain noble's house and might not return for a while."Sister Emily?"Cid stopped, a hint of surprise also flashing in his eyes."Little Cid, aren't you staying in Roa?"Emily looked at Cid, who had changed greatly, becoming more handsome and charming, with a newfound masculinity, and asked in confusion.She no longer gave him the overwhelming warm hugs like when he was little; after all, he had grown up and become a hot-blooded young man.They needed to maintain a more appropriate distance."Yes, I came back this time to visit my family.""Is that so? Sylphiette misses you very much; she mentions your name every day and even goes to your house. Remember to come to our house too~!"Emily thought of her daughter, and a teasing smile appeared on her mature face.Upon hearing this, Cid's mind automatically conjured images of Sylphiette missing him every day, and he immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.He didn't chat with Emily for too long; the two quickly parted ways.Emily knew he wanted to see his family, and he would visit her house later anyway, so there was no rush, and she let him go home first.When Cid successfully arrived home, Zenith, who was pruning tree branches in the yard, instantly froze, her eyes filled with astonishment.When she came back to her senses, she immediately put down her scissors and ran towards him."Cid!""Mother, I'm home!"The two embraced tightly; when they separated, Zenith surprisingly began to touch Cid all over, carefully examining every part of his body."Cid, is it okay for you to develop so quickly?"After checking and confirming that he had no injuries, a slightly worried expression appeared on her face.After a year of not seeing him, Cid's physique and appearance were almost indistinguishable from an adult man, though a hint of youthfulness could still be seen on his handsome face.Such a rapid rate of physical development was unusual for ordinary humans, and it was understandable that she would worry, fearing it was a strange and rare disease."Don't worry, Mother, I'm very well!"Cid smiled slightly, revealing his perfect abs and strong arm muscles, wanting to dispel Zenith's worries."Hey! Cid, how can you do that to your mother!"At this moment, Paul and Lilia, hearing the commotion outside, walked out of the house. The first thing they saw was this scene, and they feigned a scolding expression.Zenith first gently pulled Cid's clothes back into place, then turned around, placed her hands on her hips, and glared at Paul with her beautiful eyes."Is it wrong for a mother to look at her son's body?!"In the world of Jobless Reincarnation, it was common knowledge that a mother looking at her son's body was considered normal behavior.Upon hearing this, Paul's face immediately fell, his original scolding expression vanished, replaced by a radiant smile, not daring to talk back to his beloved wife in the slightest.It was evident how low his current family status was; he might not even be as good as a paramecium.When he walked closer to the two, he placed one hand lightly on Cid's shoulder and the other on his chin, quietly observing him with a smile on his face, and spoke."Not bad! You've become as handsome as I was back in the day!"Cid and Zenith simultaneously rolled their eyes, feeling speechless at Paul's self-praise, while Liliastood to the side, covering her mouth and stifling a giggle."Cough!"Paul coughed lightly, feeling a bit awkward, and immediately put on a serious expression to ask."Tell me, why did you suddenly come home?""I'm here to visit you, of course."Cid gave a simple answer, and it wasn't, as Paul had guessed, that something bad had happened and he had returned to his family for help.Of course, if he really had come back for help, he probably wouldn't have been of much assistance anyway."Let's go inside first."Zenith wrapped her arm around Cid's, leading the way into the house, with Paul and Lilia following closely behind.In the living room, Cid sat on a wooden chair, holding a red-haired baby girl with delicate pink skin, an adorable appearance, and a chubby, fair little face."Aisha, Norn, this is your older brother~!"Zenith, holding a blonde baby girl, smiled and introduced them."Bro… brother."Upon hearing this, Aisha immediately stammered, a beautiful smile blossoming on her small face, and her tiny hands tightly gripped one of Cid's strong arms."Bro... brother."Norn also spoke, but seemed shyer, and at the same time, she cast a curious gaze at Cid, her pair of emerald green eyes staring at him."So cute!"Cid showed a comfortable smile, reaching out to touch Aisha's chubby little face, then moving to touch Norn's dazzling golden hair.Norn slightly drew back her head, clearly a bit unaccustomed.But she didn't hide, obediently accepting her brother's touch."Cid, are you going to celebrate your birthday at home?"Paul leaned back on the wooden chair, a happy smile on his face as he looked at the warm scene before him, then turned to Cid and asked.At the mention of his birthday, Zenith also turned her gaze towards Cid."Cid, we were originally planning to go to Roa in a few days to celebrate your birthday, but we didn't expect you to come back today.""Since you're already back, should we celebrate your birthday at home? If so, we'll need to start preparing right away."
Chapter 91 Simple Birthday, Paul's InvitationThey had only prepared the birthday gifts so far; if they were to hold a birthday banquet at home, they would need to quickly prepare some ingredients.Purchasing ingredients would require another trip to Roya Town, as Buena Village was just an ordinary village with only a small amount of ingredients.Only Roya Town had a rich variety of ingredients.Therefore, it was destined to take several days to make ample preparations."Yes."Cid nodded in response to their questions.Zenith and Paul expressed their understanding, and at the same time, remembered Rudeus, who was still in Roya Town and hadn't returned, feeling a bit regretful.He couldn't come back to attend Cid's birthday because he had a tutor's duty, but they would go when he had his tenth birthday."Don't worry about the food; I bought it back from Roa."Cid smiled brightly, took out the Devouring Pouchfrom his embrace, and placed all the food he had bought from Roa and stored inside the space onto the wooden table in front of him.In an instant, the rectangular wooden table, which originally only had a teapot and teacups, became filled with a dazzling array of various ingredients.Among them were not only fruits and vegetables but also monster meat and ingredients for making cakes.He knew he would be celebrating his birthday at home, so he directly bought the necessary ingredients in Roa.Paul looked at the complete array of ingredients in front of him, a surprised expression on his face, as it saved them a trip to Roa."In that case, Lilia, let's start preparing immediately!"Zenith rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and delicate forearms, with an expression full of drive."Yes, Madam!"Lilia stood up and responded with a smile.She was very attentive to Cid's birthday; she had to make sure he had a satisfying birthday, using this small opportunity to repay his great kindness....As Zenith and the others officially began preparations, Cid took the opportunity to leave home and go to Emily's house, intending to visit Sylphiette.After more than a year apart, he still missed her quite a bit.Upon arriving at Sylphiette's doorstep, he immediately saw Emily and Sylphiette inside the house.Emily's husband, Roruzu, was responsible for guarding the forest and was not home during the day, only returning to rest near evening.During the day, it was basically just the mother and daughter at home.Sylphiette inside the house had been watching the doorway, as if waiting for someone, and the moment Cid appeared, she immediately ran joyfully towards him.Then, she threw herself into Cid's embrace, her fair little hands tightly holding him."Cid, I missed you so much!"Sylphiette raised her fair little face and cried loudly, her pair of beautiful red eyes turning into a blurry clear spring, with a large amount of glistening tears welling up.These tears slid down her cheeks,
Chapter 92: Mutation ends wild boar, black battle armor shows its powerIn the Buena Village forest, Cid followed Paul into its depths.The forest was dark and quiet, with the sounds of insects and birds, seemingly no different from an ordinary forest.But once you entered deeper, fierce and monstrous magical beasts would emerge."Cid, let's go straight into the depths."Paul turned his head and suggested to Cid.This time, he didn't bring anyone else, just the two of them.He was, after all, a man who had ventured to other continents, possessing Advanced-level strength, and Cid was even stronger than him, with Saint-level strength.This forest outside the village posed no danger to the two of them.Even if the magical beasts inside rioted, they could safely retreat."Okay."Cid agreed to Paul's suggestion and continued to follow his footsteps deeper into the forest, discovering some hidden magical beasts along the way.All those magical beasts were weak, posing little threat.Before long, the two successfully ventured deep into the forest.It became even more silent here; the sounds of insects and birds from the outer areas disappeared, and the environment was eerie and unsettling, as if terrifying creatures were hidden within."Hmm?"At this moment, Paul placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his sharp gaze directed towards a massive dark shadow emerging ahead, followed by numerous beastly figures.The huge dark shadow slowly approached, causing a violent tremor in the ground, and the scattered pebbles on the ground rhythmically bounced upwards.Seeing this, Cid also looked towards the massive dark shadow.It was a wild boar, enormous in size, covered in black fur, with two sharp tusks protruding from its mouth, resembling a gigantic tank.Following behind it were about twenty dog-like magical beasts.These magical beasts looked like dogs, but they were larger than normal dogs, with taut muscles covering their entire bodies, and their four dog legs were particularly prominent."These are Terminator Boars and Raging Hounds.""Individually they are D-class, but they lead a large number of Raging Hounds, making them fierce magical beasts that can become C-class or even B-class. They are the most well-known magical beasts in the Asura Kingdom."Paul calmly introduced them to Cid.However, his eyes showed surprise as he looked at this Terminator Boar, because its size was significantly larger than its counterparts, and its fur was even darker.Could it be a mutated magical beast?Could their luck really be this good?"Cid, can you handle it yourself?"Paul quickly asked, looking at the Terminator Boarand Raging Hounds charging towards them."Yes, I'll definitely win!"Cid grinned, showing a confident smile.Upon hearing this, Paul immediately moved aside to watch quietly.Cid's eyes were calm; he didn't draw his sword. Instead, he used his Udou Armor for the first time, intending to test its power after being enhanced with earth dragon scales.With a thought, the bead strings worn on his ankles and wrists immediately spread rapidly to various parts of his body, covering him completely in an instant.His fair skin was enveloped by a layer of black armor, adorned with numerous red dots and lines, exuding a majestic aura.He then used Armament Haki, covering his fists with it, tensed his leg muscles, and his figure vanished, leaving only a deep pit where he had stood.Bang!Crack!When his figure reappeared, his black fist, tinged with red light, forcefully struck the Terminator Boar's massive skull.The heavy iron fist collided with the skull, producing two sounds, one of which was exceptionally crisp—the sound of the skull cracking."Awooo!"The Terminator Boar's huge body crashed heavily into a thick tree, letting out a heart-wrenching shriek, blood flowing from its forehead, falling into a semi-conscious state.The accompanying Raging Hounds did not retreat; they all opened their bloody mouths and lunged to bite.Cid looked at these "little dogs," and with a flash of his figure, dozens of afterimages appeared in the field. He delivered dozens of kicks in an instant.All these kicks accurately struck all the Raging Hounds around him, causing their bodies to turn into drops of crimson blood rain and dissipate from the world.They were directly kicked apart by brute force and died!The entire battle lasted no more than ten seconds, appearing exceptionally swift and decisive!Paul's mouth slightly agape, he gasped, his eyes showing astonishment.Is he a monster?He actually used brute physical strength to eliminate magical beasts!It was such a simple and brutal method, looking nothing like a human, but rather a muscular, ox-strong demon.Cid looked at the Terminator Boar, which was foaming at the mouth, twitching, and in a coma, then withdrew his gaze and turned to stand before Paul."Father, how was it?"Paul's expression was complex. He looked at the handsome armor covering him, then at his own old-fashioned knight armor, and a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face."You did very well, but it wasn't perfect."He looked towards the Terminator Boar in the distance, still alive, breathing shallowly, and only temporarily unconscious.Cid smiled and nodded. He had actually done it on purpose just now, to make himself appear as if he had no combat experience.If Paul saw that he was experienced, he would definitely ask questions, creating unnecessary trouble. It was better to pretend to be a novice.Paul personally delivered the final blow to the Terminator Boar. Looking at the sticky blood spilled on the ground around them, he turned his head to Cid."Let's leave here as soon as possible; the smell of blood will attract many magical beasts."Cid nodded, naturally aware of this common sense.After the two successfully left the forest, Paul's face showed a look of emotion."If Zenith and I had Magic tools when we were adventurers, we would have saved ourselves a lot of trouble."The Terminator Boar's corpse had already been put into a Devouring Pouch by Cid, to be taken back and prepared as food for the family.After all, magical beast meat was quite expensive. Paul, adhering to the principle of not wasting, or perhaps exchanging it for money, wouldn't let go of this corpse.When the two returned home, Zenith saw the blood on Cid and Paul, who was wearing silver-white knight armor, and immediately realized what had happened.Her face immediately showed an accusing expression as she looked at Paul."How could you let Cid do such a thing so early!"Paul scratched his head, revealing a sheepish smile."Cid, you're not hurt, are you?"After scolding Paul, Zenith began to meticulously check Cid's body."I'm fine."Cid shook his head, feeling both happy and helpless about Zenith's excessive concern."Hurry inside and change your clothes! Wash off the bloodstains from your body."He obediently nodded and walked towards the bathroom. Lilia, meanwhile, found him a change of clothes and placed them at the bathroom door.She diligently performed her duties as a maid.At this moment, Zenith glared fiercely at Paul again with her beautiful emerald green eyes...
Chapter 93 Birthday Party, Dancing with AliceCid spent a few warm days at home, bonding with his two lovely younger sisters, going on dates with Sylphiette, as Eris's birthday banquet drew nearer.Therefore, he finally bid farewell to his family today.He had stayed at home long enough; it was time to return to Roa Town.Zenith and Lilia stood at the door to see Cid off, just like last time, but this time, Paul, Aisha, and Nornwere also there."Bro... brother, remember to come back!"Aisha waved, her delicate, snow-white face showing reluctance.Norn was the same, but she didn't express it as obviously as Aisha.Cid smiled and waved back at everyone as he left home, and once he was out of Buena Village, he immediately took out his Black Tiger to return to Roa Town.....Several days passed in a flash, and it was Eris's birthday.On this day, the entire mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere; today was a special day, and the mansion's main hall and the courtyard leading to it would be open to outsiders.They would also receive gifts from all over the territory and invite a large number of nobles from the town.Because Sauros was an unpretentious military officer, the initial birthday plan discussed was to adopt an informal buffet style.It was only later, when Philip suggested making it easier for nearby intermediate nobles to attend, that it was changed to a ball.At the venue, Cid and Rudeus sat in a corner.The clothes they wore today were expensive noble attire, embroidered with many intricate patterns, specially prepared for them by Philip.Although he was sitting in a corner, Cid's appearance was simply too handsome; the noble young ladies attending the ball would occasionally cast glances of attention his way.Their beautiful eyes were all filled with wonder, marveling that such a peerless handsome man existed in this world!It was the beginning of the ball, and a large number of intermediate and lower nobles gathered in front of Philip, attempting to curry favor with the Greyratfamily.He and his wife skillfully dealt with them.Similarly, in front of Eris, there were also some noble youths who looked like human-faced beasts, with a lot of fat accumulated on their bodies, and were of similar age.She became like a robot, giving the same stiff replies, sending these noble youths in front of her away dejected.For Eris's birthday, Boreas, currently aligned with Ariel, sent her guardian mage, Dirk, even though she couldn't come in person.If it weren't for her sensitive status, which could endanger her life if she left the capital, she would have truly wanted to come and meet Cid herself.The scene of numerous nobles currying favor quickly ended, and the ball officially entered its climax.According to the plan discussed earlier, Cid and Eriswould have the first dance together to ease her inner nervousness.The venue temporarily quieted down, and all the nobles turned their gaze to the center of the square, where a young man and a young woman stood.Today, Eris was not in her usual lively style, but wore an exquisite blue-toned gown, her fiery red hair pinned up.She also wore a hair ornament decorated with flowers, which was truly adorable, showcasing her aura as a high-ranking noble young lady.Of course, a hint of nervousness could be seen on her snow-white face at this moment, as all the nobles in the hall were focusing their attention here.If she messed up later, she couldn't even imagine the scene."Eris, relax, you'll be fine."Cid looked at the slightly nervous Eris in front of him and spoke to comfort her.Eris looked up at Cid's handsome face, and her heart involuntarily calmed down, as if with him, everything would be easily resolved.She nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her fair face.Soothing music filled the hall, and Cid gently took Eris's soft, fair hand, slowly beginning to guide her through the dance steps.As time passed, her movements became smooth and natural, her nervousness completely disappearing, replaced by relaxation.Before long, the dance ended.The hall fell silent at this moment; the nobles were stunned, and it was unclear who started clapping first, but then a round of enthusiastic applause erupted.Rudeus's voice was the loudest, his small face flushed as he clapped hard for his big brother."Excellent! Very good! I really like you!"Sauros let out a hearty laugh, a joyful expression on his energetic face, as his robust body clapped his hands vigorously."Eris also danced very well."Cid bowed slightly, responding with feigned modesty.Upon hearing this, a rare hint of shyness appeared on Eris's snow-white face, but it was fleeting, immediately replaced by a proud expression.With the co-dance finished, he was no longer needed for the next part of the event and was free to move around.Cid returned to Rudeus's side, and seeing his seemingly enduring expression, immediately guessed what he was thinking.He must be thinking of going to flirt with those noble young ladies.Although these noble young ladies were not stunningly beautiful, they were of high-tier quality, having lived a life of pampered luxury with no worries about food or drink.Their skin was incredibly fair and delicate, possessing astonishing elasticity and smoothness, incomparable to ordinary women."Rudeus, you're free to do as you please, just remember to be mindful of boundaries."Cid smiled, not intending to stop him.Upon hearing this, Rudeus's face immediately broke into an excited smile as he nodded emphatically, rose from his chair, and walked towards a beautiful noble young lady.With his big brother Cid's permission, what did he have to worry about?As for boundaries, he would naturally be careful; he didn't want to get involved in noble power struggles, he just wanted to take advantage of these noble young ladies.If the other party developed feelings for him, there might even be further development, such as the two of them becoming secret *friends.Clearly, he was showing a tendency to develop into a younger version of Paul.Cid shook his head slightly, watching Rudeus's retreating back.Since he had taken away the other party's original three wives, it was normal for him to become like this; with his strong desires unvented, he would naturally have to find other ways.As long as he didn't go too far.After Rudeus left, many noble young ladies came up to Cid, wanting to get acquainted with him or dance a song.However, he mercilessly rejected all of them.Although these noble young ladies were beautiful, unfortunately, they still couldn't catch his eye.Once no one was bothering him, Cid immediately began to feast on the lavish delicacies displayed on the table.Among them were pies made from unknown fruits, meat dishes prepared from an entire cow, and exquisitely decorated cakes, etc...These were all rare delicacies, and their taste was indeed good; presumably, only nobles and adventurers could afford them outside.[PS: This chapter was very slow to write, maybe I'm not suited to writing this kind of plot. o(︶︿︶)o]
Chapter 94 Alice: Help me think of a name for my baby!As Cid contentedly ate the delicious food, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the dark-skinned beastman responsible for security at the door.This beastman, drooling and occasionally glancing at the fragrant food on the table, was Ghislaine.Seeing this, Cid temporarily stopped eating and called over a cat-eared maid."Pack these foods and send them to my room.""Yes, sir."The cat-eared maid nodded, packing up some of the food Cid indicated, enough for several adults.As a beastman with a large appetite, Ghislainenaturally needed more to take back.Ghislaine, at the door, saw this scene and immediately gave Cid an appreciative look, her gray cat tail wagging behind her with joy.After the cat-eared maid left with the food, someone approached Cid.He turned his head and saw it was Ariel's guardian, Dirk.Dirk had been with Philip earlier, and as Ariel's personal guard, the nobles naturally wanted to curry favor with him.He only came to Cid now because he had some free time.Dirk pulled up a chair and sat directly beside him."Cid, do you know any talented magicians or swordsmen?"Cid heard Dirk's question and instantly understood his intention."Are you looking for guards for Ariel?"He was holding a fragrant beef leg, taking a bite of the juicy lean meat while asking the question."That's right."Dirk didn't mind his way of addressing Ariel, and nodded in response.Mainly, Ariel wasn't here, and the other party's strength was also greater than his; in front of a strong person, a weaker person doesn't have much say.Cid heard this, his eyes moving as he fell into thought.He was considering whether to let Sylphiettebecome Ariel's guard ahead of time, which should be a good thing for her.After all, the Teleportation Incident was about to happen, and as long as he didn't stop it, Sylphiettebecoming Ariel's guard was a destined event.Dirk watched the thoughtful Cid and did not rush him.If he hadn't come to the Boreas Family this time, he wouldn't have known that the other party's younger brother was also a monstrous talent.Eight years old, a Water Saint-Level Mage, truly unbelievable.Since the incident a year ago, Ariel had been intentionally recruiting capable and trustworthy people from outside to serve as guards, replenishing her combat strength.Dirk's current visit to the Boreas Family for Eris's birthday banquet was due to a task Ariel had given him.To try and ask Cid if he had any suitable candidates.Monsters are often accompanied by many monsters; this is a common truth.Moreover, the candidates Cid provided would be much more trustworthy to Ariel, eliminating concerns about ill-intentioned individuals.The reason was simple: she trusted her own decisions.Cid finished his thoughts and looked at Dirk, speaking."I do have a candidate."A look of joy appeared in Dirk's eyes; Ariel had indeed not been wrong."Could you please introduce that person to us?""I need to ask first."Cid didn't give a definite answer, as he needed to find time to go back and ask Sylphiette's parents for their opinion; if they agreed, it would be fine."I'm counting on you."Dirk said no more, a smile appearing on his face...After the ball concluded smoothly, the nobles left the Boreas Residence, each with their servants.In Cid's room, Ghislaine was currently feasting, her chocolate-colored face covered in grease, making it shiny.If her muscles were not as hard as steel but soft and delicate, she would surely be a dark-skinned goddess from certain anime.For example, a dark elf from a certain other-world anime.Getting back to the point, besides Ghislaine, there were two other people in the room.Eris stood in front of Cid, wearing a noble blue gown, her beautiful red eyes clearly showing anticipation."Cid, my gift!"She directly extended her hand to Cid with anticipation, showing no sign of the respect due to her magic teacher.The relationship between the two was somewhat complex; it seemed it couldn't be simply described as a teacher-student relationship."Here you go."Cid smiled slightly, took out a sword stored in the room, handed it to her, and at the same time gently stroked her fiery red, smooth hair.The feel was better than usual because it was her birthday today, and she had taken care to dress up; normally, she would only do a simple wash.She couldn't be as exquisite as other noble young ladies every day.Eris looked at the sword in front of her, a hint of joy in her eyes, and immediately drew it from its scabbard to examine it.It was a crimson sword, its blade wider than a normal sword, clearly designed with Eris's preference for such weapons in mind.The blade gleamed with cold light, and placing a hand on it, one could clearly feel a warmth; it was not a weapon forged from ordinary steel."This sword has a fire magic circle carved into it; it will cause burns when it strikes an enemy, and as long as enough magic power is injected, it can shoot large fireballs."Cid smiled as he introduced the magic sword's properties to Eris.This sword had unique ore from the Demon Slayerworld incorporated into it, the materials used to make a nichirin blade: "Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand" and "Scarlet Crimson Ore."These two ores were very compatible with fire, making it easier for him to engrave the magic circle, suitable materials for forging fire Magic tools."Oh!"Stars appeared in Eris's eyes, and hearing that it could shoot large fireballs, a happy smile immediately bloomed on her small face.Ghislaine stopped eating and looked at the sword."If there's a magic circle inside, it shouldn't affect the weapon itself, right?""No, this sword is very sharp and won't be easily damaged."Cid looked at Ghislaine and answered her question.She was simply worried that the addition of a magic circle would affect the weapon's sharpness.Sword God Style weapons don't need to be flashy; they just need to be sharp enough.The reason he carved a magic circle on it was simply because he thought Eris might like it that way, nothing more.Eris held the sword, unable to put it down, and after a while, she looked up at Cid and asked."Does this sword have a name?""No."Cid slowly shook his head; after all, he was terrible at naming things."Then you help me think of a name now!"Eris returned the sword to its scabbard, abandoning the idea of experimenting with magic in the room, her small face displaying an expression that brooked no refusal.Her first sword, truly her own, its name was very important!She wanted Cid to name this sword, which showed that he indeed held a relatively special place in her heart...
Chapter 95: Two Years, Alice Takes the Initiative"Can't you name it yourself?" Cid asked, a troubled expression on his face."No!" Eris's small face was serious, her ruby eyes fixed on Cid."How about calling it Plain?" Ghislaine took a big bite of meat, looking at Eris as she spoke.Her sword was named "Plain Zong," and it was reasonable for Eris, as her disciple, to name her weapon similarly to her master."No! That sounds awful!" Eris's fair little face showed undisguised disgust."Alright." Ghislaine, hearing this, had no intention of interfering further and sat to the side, diligently eating her meal.Cid looked at the determined look in Eris's eyes in front of him and had no choice but to rack his brain for ideas.When forging this sword, a small amount of scales from a certain monster were added, and it was a fire-attributed weapon, so it needed a fitting name.After much thought, his eyes quickly lit up."How about fire scale sword?"Eris, hearing this, couldn't help but slightly draw the sword out of its scabbard by an inch, staring at the crimson blade in her hand, and then at the fire-red, magma-like scale patterns on the guard.She immediately grinned and nodded, a satisfied expression on her fair little face.Immediately after, she looked towards Ghislaine, who was still eating heartily to the side, and her deep red pupils showed anticipation.Ghislaine's movements paused as she saw Eris's expectant little eyes, and a hint of difficulty appeared on her oily face as she spoke."Sorry, my race doesn't have such customs, so I didn't prepare anything."Cid heard Ghislaine's blunt reply and sighed inwardly, truly, she was a woman whose entire body, even her backside, was all muscle.Eris sat back down in her chair, looking disappointed.It seemed that not receiving a birthday gift from her beloved Master Ghislaine was a great regret for her."Ghislaine, you could actually give Eris something you always carry with you, or something like an amulet, as a birthday gift."Cid watched Ghislaine continue to eat, truly not planning to give anything, and could only prompt her as in the original story.Ghislaine fell into thought, then simply wiped the grease from her hands on her abdomen and took an old ring from her finger.It was a wooden carved ring, appearing quite old and scratched on the surface.Whether it was the lighting, the material, or perhaps some magic applied to it, the light reflected by the ring looked a bit green.Ghislaine held the ring and introduced it to Eris."This is an exorcism ring passed down through our tribe. It's said that as long as you wear it, you won't be attacked by evil wolves at night. I'm not sure if it really works."Eris immediately stood up happily and reached out to take the ring, then carefully placed it on one of her slender, fair fingers.When night was deep, Ghislaine bid them farewell and left.At this point, only Cid and Eris remained in the room.The atmosphere in the room was slightly quiet. Erissat on the bed, gently playing with her fiery red hair, her fair, well-proportioned calves exposed from beneath her blue dress.Her face had a hint of alluring blush, and she recalled her father's earlier words.Cid looked at Eris, who showed no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but ask her, "Eris, aren't you going back to sleep?"Eris looked up, her face slightly flushed, and shyly said, "Are you disgusted with me? I want to sleep here tonight."Cid saw Eris's face instantly flush deep red and immediately understood her thoughts, a hint of bitterness appearing on his face.People in the Jobless world matured early, but given her age, this certainly couldn't happen now."Eris, you should go back."Cid refused with a helpless expression."Why!" Eris stood up with a whoosh, thinking he was truly disgusted with her. Her eyes quickly turned red, and clear tears welled up within them.But she held back, not letting them flow from her eyes."That's not what I meant. It's just that you're still young."Cid gently stroked Eris's head.Eris heard that he wasn't disgusted with her, but rather because of her young age, and immediately sighed in relief, turning her face away."Hmph! Then just wait until I'm an adult! Don't you forget!"After saying that, she decisively ran out of the room.Cid smiled slightly as he watched Eris's departing red silhouette.Two years passed in the blink of an eye.Cid's swordsmanship successfully broke through to Sword King level, and his magical prowess greatly improved; it was certain that he was now at Emperor-tier!After Saint-tier, magic in the Jobless world didn't have fixed skills, requiring the mixing and development of various spells.However, as long as the released magic was powerful enough, it could be considered a certain level of strength.If he chose to use a Fireball spell and safely infused an immense amount of magic into it, it could unleash power comparable to a nuclear bomb.The premise was ensuring the Fireball wouldn't go out of control before being launched.Today was Rudeus's tenth birthday. Paul originally wanted to take his family from Buena Village to Roya Town to celebrate for him.However, monsters in the forest inexplicably rioted, preventing him from leaving, as he needed to protect the safety of the villagers.Nevertheless, when Philip learned of this, he prepared a banquet for Rudeus. Although not many people attended, they were all familiar faces.In the evening, after the birthday banquet ended, Philip had a Beastkin maid beside him carry two items on a tray to Rudeus.On the tray lay a wooden box and a magic wood staff. The wooden box was exquisitely crafted, black overall, and engraved with many intricate and complex patterns."Rudeus, this gift is for you."Philip smiled, gesturing for him to take the wooden box and open it to see.Hilda also smiled, her gaze benevolent.She was Eris's birth mother and Philip's wife.Hilda had the same fiery red hair as Eris, a full and tall figure, and wore a tight red off-the-shoulder dress that made her two parts appear exceptionally full and rounded.Around her fair, slender swan-like neck, she wore a string of pure white pearl necklaces, and a green diamond-shaped ornament clung tightly to her delicate, smooth, full chest.Her face was exquisitely fair, and the usually proud and mature expression on her cheeks now showed a rare tenderness."Rudeus, take it."Cid saw Rudeus's somewhat hesitant expression and directly told him to take it.Rudeus, hearing this, immediately looked at Philip, Hilda, and Sauros standing around him, expressing gratitude, and reached out to take the two items from the tray.
Chapter 96 Sea Dragon Magic Stone, Arrogant Water Dragon KingWhen he opened the box, a dazzling aquamarine light shone directly onto his face.This was a spherical magic stone, an aquamarine magic stone the size of a fist.The surface of the magic stone was full of magical luster, and water elements could be vaguely seen circling around it. The amount of water elements contained within the magic stone was even more astonishing!This was clearly a very expensive water magic stone.Philip looked at Rudeus's surprised expression and smiled as he began to introduce the two items."These two items are a water magic stone and magic wood. The magic wood was taken from the Millis Continent, this material came from an Elder Magic Tree residing in the eastern part of the Great Forest.""The water magic stone was taken from a lone sea dragon on the Begaritt Continent and is an A-grade item."Rudeus's eyes lit up as he listened, and a clear look of fondness appeared on his face.With these two items, he could finally have Big Brother Cid forge him a high-grade magic staff, giving him a magic staff that could be presented!Philip was clearly aware of this, which was why he hadn't had someone make it into a magic staff as a gift beforehand.When Cid had his birthday, he also gave him a gift, which was even more precious than these two items.After all, without Cid, he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of the Boreas head now, so giving some gifts was not a big deal at all.When Cid and Rudeus were walking back to their rooms, he directly took out the two gifts he had just received and looked at Cid."Big Brother Cid, can you help me forge a magic staff using these two materials?"Cid wasn't surprised. He smiled and took the two precious materials, then asked, "Do you want a simple magic staff, or do you want the magic stone to be inlaid in a glove?"He was perfectly capable of inlaying the magic stone into a glove, turning it into an alternative magic staff, which would make combat more convenient and less tiring for the hand.In the original work, Rudeus did this in the later stages.Rudeus was slightly stunned. After careful consideration, he thought of the fantasy light novels he had read in his previous life, where all mages used magic staffs.He felt that a mage looked cooler with a magic staff!That's right! He just wanted to be cool; he hadn't considered the convenience of combat at all."I just want a cool magic staff!"Cid heard Rudeus's answer and, without any intention of persuading him, nodded in agreement.When the two returned to their respective rooms, he didn't choose to lie down and sleep but instead began to forge the magic staff using these two materials.According to his memories from his previous life, tomorrow should be the time when the teleportation incident occurs. Once the incident happens, there will definitely be many battles.The Demon Continent is a desolate continent overrun by monsters.The wilderness there seems to have no grass, only magic wood everywhere.He had to make the magic staff tonight.Of course, with Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, forging a magic staff wouldn't take much time at all, even if it required detailed processing.The essence of Divine Machine Hundred Refinements is rapid forging of items.The next morning.Cid, Rudeus, Eris, and Ghislaine gathered on a hill outside Roya Town.The reason for this was simple: when Rudeus saw the forged magic staff, he immediately suggested going to the outskirts to test it.He naturally didn't refuse and brought Eris and Ghislaine along.Rudeus's magic staff was similar to the one in the original work, with a curved, uneven black shaft and a large water magic stone from a sea dragon at the tip.The difference from the original work was that the staff's surface had many mysterious blue patterns, and other monster materials were added to make it sturdy and not easily breakable.There was no difference in power amplification, as the main materials of the magic staff, the magic stone and magic wood, remained unchanged and were still the items from the original work.Moreover, the name of the magic staff also remained unchanged, still being called "Arrogant Water Dragon King."Rudeus held this magic staff with great affection, and since it was personally made by Big Brother Cid, he definitely had to cherish it!Just as he raised his head to begin his experiment, he suddenly noticed an unusual change in space."What's going on?"Hearing Rudeus's words, Ghislaine and Eris both looked up curiously to check.Although Cid had already noticed, he still looked up.The originally azure sky had turned into a disgusting color, with purple and brown mixing into peculiar marble-like patterns.Seeing this, Ghislaine silently took off the black blindfold she wore on her face, revealing a deep green, strange eye that had been covered.This was her magic eye, capable of observing the flow of magic power."What is that?"Eris looked at the changes in the sky and curiously asked Ghislaine."I don't know, I can only tell that an astonishing amount of magic power is gathering.""Then should we return to town immediately?""No, the closer we get to town, the denser the magic power becomes."Ghislaine put her blindfold back on and shook her head, refusing Eris's suggestion.Just as she was about to continue speaking, as if sensing something unusual, she immediately shouted to Rudeus in the distance, "Rudeus, get down!"Upon hearing this, Rudeus instinctively crouched down.At the same time, Cid's figure disappeared from his original spot, using Udou Armor and covering his sword with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.Clang!The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the sharp sword that should have slashed over Rudeus's head was repelled through the air!Surprise appeared in the eyes of the sword-wielding figure. He took several steps back, and his entire arm felt numb, caused by the powerful force."A special power?"Clang!Another sound of metal clashing rang out in the field.Ghislaine placed her hand on the sword hanging at her waist, her figure swayed slightly, and she stood motionless in front of Rudeus in a stance as if she had just finished swinging her sword.It was the Sword God Style's Sword Saint Technique—Light Katana!The mysterious figure was suddenly attacked by two strikes and successfully retreated a certain distance.If it weren't for the first attack, with his speed, he would have been able to dodge the second attack completely.The mysterious figure stood still in the distance, no longer moving, his gaze sizing up the four people in front of him.This was a male with dazzling blond hair, wearing a stiff, white, stand-collar uniform-like outfit that was buttoned in the front.He wore a yellow fox-like mask on his face and held a large double-edged dagger in his hand, its blade shimmering with a deep, cold light."Who are you! State your name quickly!"Ghislaine's face showed vigilance, and she let out an angry roar.The blond man did not answer, only wanting to complete the orders given by Lord Perugius.His face emitted a blinding white light, making Rudeus and Eris unable to open their eyes at all.Cid and Ghislaine, possessing magic eyes, were not affected in the slightest.The two once again blocked the blond man's attack.Clang, clang, clang!Several more clanging sounds of metal colliding rang out around them.After a brief exchange of blows, the blond man perceived the respective strengths of both sides and immediately used his light-speed extreme speed to retreat into the distance…
Chapter 97 Glorious Almanfi, transfer and classification summoning magic?Two Sword Kings, one of whom possessed power nearing that of a Sword Emperor—it was impossible for him to defeat both of them alone.Thinking of this, a hint of distress appeared on his face.He truly hadn't expected such an unexpected turn of events.Are Sword Kings truly so common in this world?For two to appear at once, it's simply unreasonable!"Who exactly are you?!"Ghislaine looked at the blonde man who had retreated into the distance and angrily questioned him again.This time, the blonde man did not remain silent; he finally responded, a deep, young male voice emanating from beneath the yellow mask he wore."Armanfi the Radiant, that is my name."Rudeus, who was standing nearby, heard him state his name, and his pupils contracted as he recalled a book he had read at home when he was a child.The name of that book was [One of the Three Heroes Who Slew the Demon God].The protagonist of the book possessed twelve familiars and was a great summoner; the name of one of his familiars was Armanfi the Radiant.It was said that this familiar possessed the ultimate speed of light!"Woman, boy, I advise you to step aside. If I can just kill that brat, perhaps I can stop the anomaly that is currently occurring."Armanfi looked at Cid and Ghislaine, who were blocking his way, and spoke in a deep voice."How are you so certain that he caused the anomaly?"Cid straightened his body, his entire being covered in the black and red Udou Armor, radiating an imposing aura, his sharp golden eyes staring directly at Armanfi.Armanfi's expression beneath his mask froze; he truly had no way to prove that the current anomaly was caused by that brat.The reason he thought Rudeus was the culprit was because he saw the sky undergo an anomaly just as Rudeus raised his staff earlier."I am Ghislaine Tedordia, the Sword King! That thing has nothing to do with us, step back!"Ghislaine now announced her name to the other party."Sword King? Empty words without proof, do you have any evidence to back that up?"Upon hearing this, Armanfi's intention to continue fighting temporarily vanished, and he looked at Ghislaine, asking."Look! This is the famed blade "Hirasamune," one of the Seven Swords of the Sword God. Even seeing this sword before you, do you still refuse to believe?!"Ghislaine extended the sword in her hand forward, allowing Armanfi to examine it closely, so he wouldn't think the one in her hand was a fake.Armanfi possessed excellent eyesight and stood at a distance, observing it meticulously, not missing any detail.After a short while, his gaze returned to Ghislaine."Do you dare to swear upon your master and your clan?""I swear upon the honor of my master, the Sword God Gall Farion, and the Tedordia clan!"Upon hearing this, Armanfi fell silent for a moment, then put away the large double-edged dagger in his hand, choosing to believe Ghislaine's words."If you are not truly innocent, Lord Perugius will make another judgment.""Whatever."Ghislaine replied with a cold tone."Hey! Aren't you going to apologize for causing this misunderstanding?!"Rudeus, emboldened at this moment, shouted at Armanfi, who was about to turn and leave, a hint of displeasure visible on his face.After all, he had just almost lost his head; anyone would be displeased.Armanfi stopped and looked back at everyone with an indifferent gaze."The ones at fault are you, for behaving suspiciously in this place.""How truly high-sounding."Cid looked at Armanfi's appearance, and a sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.Armanfi's ears twitched slightly, and just as he was about to speak to Cid, a blinding light suddenly extended from the sky, which had turned white, towards the ground.The moment that light touched the ground, it immediately expanded at an astonishing speed, transforming into a torrent of light that engulfed everything in its surroundings.The magnificent mansion, the towering city walls, the bustling town all vanished completely, not even sparing the flowers, grass, and trees growing on the ground.And it was rapidly approaching them, like a colossal tsunami.Armanfi quickly turned around, and seeing this scene, he immediately transformed into a dazzling golden light and fled the area.Seeing this finally occurring, Cid did not hesitate in the slightest; he immediately reached out and grabbed Rudeus and Eris, who were in a daze beside him.Ghislaine wanted to turn and protect Eris, but unfortunately, she was swallowed by the white light first.The next moment, the same happened to Cid and the other two, and he could feel his body being dragged somewhere, with something consuming the magic power within him.The vast amount of magic power within him, like an ocean, was rapidly diminishing.Although he could use the Horse Talisman to break free, he did not do so.According to his memories from his previous life, the transfer event was actually a summoning magic; as long as enough magic power was gathered, it could ensure the successful summoning to another world.The white light would then stop consuming its surroundings, allowing the destruction of the Fittoa Territory to cease.Indeed, as he had thought, unlike the original story, with the existence of his vast magic power, only one-third of the Fittoa Territory disappeared.Of course, this was something he only confirmed after returning....At the same time, in the Asura Kingdom, when the transfer event occurred in the Fittoa Territory, powerful individuals across the world became aware of it.Asura Kingdom, Red Dragon Mountain Range.The environment here is harsh, with towering mountains perpetually covered in a layer of pristine white snow, the surroundings adorned in silver, as if draped in a snowy white coat.At this moment, a man radiating a terrifying aura stood here.He had short silver hair that shimmered like the Milky Way, a large amount of white in his eyes, and eerie golden pupils like gold; his magnificent, strong body was clad in a coarse white fur coat.Before him lay a massive, strong dragon body covered in red dragon scales, an A-rank monster by itself—a Red Dragon!And this silver-haired man was one of the Seven Great Powers of this world, the Second Great Power—the Dragon God, Orsted!"A vast amount of magic power is gathering there. It's different from the loops I've experienced before. Has something gone wrong?"Orsted looked in the direction of the Fittoa Territory, his stern face showing surprise.He didn't dwell on it for too long and quickly made up his mind."I'll go and see what's happening."With such an unexpected event occurring, he had to go and investigate, because in his game against the Human God, he couldn't overlook any change.If he were careless, he would constantly enter loops.He walked straight towards the west, his white fur coat flapping loudly in the biting cold wind, his silver hair slowly swaying at his forehead.He walked alone on the snowy mountain range; as the overlord of the Red Dragon Mountain Range, the Red Dragons, creatures with extremely strong territorial instincts, did not dare to provoke him in the slightest.They all curled up in their respective dragon lairs, waiting for him to leave.
Chapter 98 Strong people from all over the world, Chishilica ChishirisIn the northwest of the Central Continent, there lies the Holy Land of Swords, a revered training ground in the hearts of swordsmen.The Sword God, Gall Fallion, was currently gazing at the abnormal sky to the south."What's wrong with that sky...? Hey."In the brief moment his attention was diverted, his two beloved disciples simultaneously swung their sharp swords, launching a fierce attack.He parried with his sword, easily deflecting the attack."How could you ambush me while I was distracted?"His expression was calm as he looked at his two beloved disciples, who were already panting.Although both of them were among the few Sword Emperors in the world, they were still no match for him, no different from a Sword King.To become a Sword God, one must be supported by a strong desire in their heart; otherwise, they can at most reach this weak and pathetic level.Only by living as one pleases can a person become stronger!Originally, Ghislaine was the one who could best understand this aspect, but unfortunately, she too was slowly becoming naive, trapped as a weak and pitiful Sword King.He was greatly disappointed, having once thought she could surpass him."Alright, alright! Come at me! If you can defeat me, then you can fight each other to see who can call themselves the Sword God!""Not only will you have endless wealth, but also beautiful women like slaves, nobles, and princesses who are willing to offer themselves to you!"Upon hearing Gall Fallion's vulgar words, the two reddened."I didn't learn swordsmanship for such things!""Master! Please don't look down on us!"Hearing his two beloved disciples' insincere replies, he sighed slightly.Why do they hypocritically hide their inner desires?...Somewhere on the Demon Continent, a beautiful loli, dressed in revealing black leather, a leather bustier, leather hot pants, and knee-high black boots, with snow-white skin, was holding a rather peculiar pose.Her pale collarbone, waist, navel, and thighs were all exposed. She had fluffy purple curly hair and a pair of pretty, goat-horn-like antlers on her head.She bent her flexible waist, revealing her unremarkable, flat figure that stirred no desire, and held her long, slender, pale hands in a circle before her eyes.She was using her Demon Eye—the Clairvoyance—to observe the distant east.She was none other than one of the three Demon Realm Emperors, the Demon Emperor who controlled the Demon Eyes—Kisirika Kisirisu!"Hmph! A master like me can observe another continent even in this pose! How about that, isn't it amazing!"In her strange pose, Kisirika talked to herself in the empty surroundings, revealing two rows of sharp, snow-white teeth like shark's teeth."Hahahaha! I knew I'd be ignored! No matter!"Kisirika quickly straightened up, looking at the silent surroundings, suppressing her inner loneliness with a loud laugh, her mental state clearly visible."I never thought there would be humans with such immense magical power in this world. It seems things are truly getting interesting!""Hahahaha!"Thinking of what she had just seen with her Clairvoyance, Kisirika tilted her small head back again and let out a strange laugh, her fluffy purple curly hair swaying in the wind.Then, she strode forward with large steps.[Cough, cough, the author actually feels she's a rather pitiful character. As for whether to take her in, it's entirely up to the readers' wishes~!]Apart from these powerful individuals, Cid's only master, Roxy, also took action, directly abandoning her original plan.Filled with worry and longing, she began returning to the Asura Kingdom, wanting to find out exactly what had happened there.Similarly, in a pure white space within one of the gaps of the Six-Faced World, commonly known as the World of Nothingness, a god's face was filled with unease.This god's body was like white mosaic, only vaguely showing a humanoid form. He was the only true god of this world—the Human God!The Human God's expression was gnashing, filled with intense fear.Because he had used his ability, 'Future Sight,' to observe a terrifying scene: he would be mercilessly killed by a man many years later!He would have no room to retaliate throughout the entire process.That man was not the Dragon God, that idiot, but a stranger whose exact appearance he could not discern. He didn't know the person at all.He originally wanted to trace the source, using Future Sight to find that man, but unfortunately, he found nothing, not a single useful clue."Why would he kill me? Is he a helper the Dragon God found in the future?"The Human God touched his chin, his expression uneasy.Orsted, that idiot, would never be able to defeat him.He had ten thousand ways to deal with him."Damn Orsted, don't think you can defeat me!"The Human God cursed bitterly, quickly calming his emotions.He had to find out who that strange man was; he had to live!He wanted to live forever in this world! And make all his enemies disappear!...Deep night.The Biekoa region, northeastern Demon Continent.On the desolate, cold, reddish-brown ground, the crackling sound of a bonfire echoed, dispelling the slightly biting cold wind around.There were four people present at this time: two were lying on the dry, cracked ground, in a deep sleep, while the other two sat around the burning bonfire.Rudeus and Eris were the ones lying on the ground.Rudeus was covered with a blanket to maintain his body temperature and prevent him from catching a cold.Eris also had a thick blanket over her and one beneath her, allowing her to lie more comfortably. Her delicate, snow-white face, in a deep sleep, looked very cute.One of the people by the bonfire was Cid, and the other was an adult male.He had short, emerald-green hair, porcelain-white skin like a woman's, and a red gem-like sensory organ on his forehead.His expression was constantly serious, with a ferocious scar running across his entire face, and his gaze was sharp, clearly a seasoned warrior.What was eye-catching was the pure white trident placed beside him, which was clearly a strange sight in this world."Ruijerd, you can actually leave. I can protect them."Cid looked at Ruijerd beside him, breaking the silent atmosphere."You are children. I cannot leave you unattended."Ruijerd reached for a magic wood, throwing it into the burning bonfire in front of him, his serious expression showing no change.He already knew what the three had experienced and had made up his mind; he could not abandon them in the harsh environment of the Demon Continent.Once a Spelute warrior makes a decision, it is absolutely impossible to change!He would fulfill the responsibilities of an adult, escorting the three back to their hometown...
Chapter 99 Alice: Woohoo... Hate it! So scary!"Do you think I'm still an underage child?"Cid showed a speechless expression, his mouth twitching slightly.Upon hearing this, Ruijerd couldn't help but turn his head and begin to carefully examine Cid.His tall and slender figure, with a handsome face that revealed a hint of youthfulness, indeed didn't look like a child, but rather a young man.However, he had already learned the other party's age, and he was indeed considered a child."You are also a child; traveling on the Demon Continent is not that simple."Ruijerd turned his head back and once again added a piece of demon wood, killed during the day, into the bonfire; these were the materials obtained from it.Cid shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.If he truly didn't want Ruijerd to follow, he wouldn't have deliberately searched for his whereabouts when teleporting to the Demon Continent through the transfer event.Otherwise, with his ability, he could have completely avoided Ruijerd, preventing them from meeting, and wouldn't have deliberately stated his exact age."Can you speak the language? Do you have money? Do you know the specific route back?"Ruijerd asked three questions at this moment."I can speak the language, I have money, but it should be useless, the route..."Cid responded one by one. He had learned the Demon God Language better by sending letters to Roxy, just like Rudeus in the original work.Although other languages weren't as convenient, he still successfully mastered them, currently knowing a total of six languages of this world.They are Human Language, Beast God Language, War God Language, Heavenly God Language, Demon God Language, and Sea God Language.As a genius, learning languages was not a difficult task.As for money, the currency system of the Asura Kingdom is completely different from that of the Demon Continent. The Demon Continent's currency system, from highest to lowest, is divided into green mineral coins, iron money, scrap iron money, and stone money.They correspond to gold coins, silver coins, large copper coins, and copper coins, respectively.Of course, the currencies of the two continents are not interchangeable at all.He only carried the currency of the Asura Kingdom. If he wanted to obtain money specifically for the Demon Continent, he would have to find other ways to earn it.This was actually not difficult for him.After all, he was the man who mastered the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements!"You are much more outstanding than those ordinary children."Upon hearing this, Ruijerd's stiff expression softened, and a warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he unreservedly offered praise.His stern face, combined with the warm smile at this moment, looked a little strange."Thank you for the compliment."Cid smiled slightly in response.At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from nearby.It was Rudeus and Eris. Both of them opened their eyes simultaneously, sat up abruptly from the ground, and looked around.Upon seeing Cid's figure in front of the bonfire, a relieved expression immediately appeared on their faces.However, when they saw Ruijerd sitting quietly beside him, they were both stunned for a moment, and then Eris's face showed an expression of extreme terror.A shrill scream even came from her mouth."Ahhh! No!"She darted out of the bedding in a flash, wanting to run away, but her limbs went soft due to extreme fear, and she stumbled to the ground.Immediately after, she didn't get up. Instead, she curled up into a ball and sat on the spot, letting out a series of panicked, continuous screams, with a large amount of glistening tears even flowing from her eyes."No! So scary! I hate it, I hate it! Come save me, Cid! Ghislaine, you too! I don't want to die! I don't want to die here!""Wuwuwu!"Although Rudeus's reaction was not as exaggerated, when he saw Eris's terrified expression, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.His eyes, looking at Ruijerd, were filled with unease."Eris, don't be afraid, it's me."Cid's face showed a helpless expression at this moment. He flashed to Eris's side and gently stroked her smooth back to comfort her."Eek!"Eris's delicate body trembled, and she immediately turned her head to look at the new figure beside her. Upon realizing it was the familiar Cid, she directly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears."How can I not be scared! That's the terrifying Spelute! They eat children! Wuwuwu...""We don't eat children."Ruijerd awkwardly retorted, an atmosphere of loneliness emanating from him.As expected, only Cid was special; others would still be afraid of him."Eris, the Spelute don't eat people; that's just a story to scare children."Cid looked down at Eris, who was crying loudly for the first time in his arms, a humorous expression on his face."But he's a demon!""Can't demons communicate too? There's no difference from humans.""It's not about the language!"Upon hearing this, Eris suddenly lifted her face and glared fiercely at Cid with her slightly swollen red eyes, managing to regain some semblance of calm.Then, she left Cid's embrace, stood up shakily, and glared at Ruijerd, who was sitting obediently in front of the bonfire, with tear-filled red eyes."Ni... Nice... Nice to meet you... My... My name is... ErisBoreas Greyrat!"She forced back the tears that threatened to spill and introduced herself.Upon hearing this, Ruijerd showed a strange expression, clearly wondering when human names had developed such a strange structure.Rudeus also took a deep breath, trying to appear calm."Nice to meet you, my name is Rudeus Greyrat!"Ruijerd turned to look at Rudeus, showing a look of approval. Such a name was more like the human names he remembered.At the same time, he then noticed that Rudeus didn't seem to show fear towards him?He remembered that the other party was seemingly Cid's younger brother."My name is Ruijerd Supeldia."Ruijerd also stated his name to introduce himself.Before long, the four sat around the bonfire to keep warm, and the atmosphere was somewhat quiet.Rudeus endured his slightly aching back and leaned close to Cid's ear, asking in a low voice."Brother Cid, can he be trusted?"He had just learned that Ruijerd was preparing to escort the three of them back home, and naturally, he was worried, thinking that the other party might have ill intentions.Without any kinship, why would he do such a thankless and difficult task?It truly made one suspect if he had a special purpose.Even without Ruijerd, he believed that he and Brother Cid alone could protect Eris and return home.He mainly trusted Cid; in his eyes, no one had ever defeated his older brother!As long as they didn't actively cause trouble along the way, returning to the Asura Kingdom in the Central Continent should be a relatively simple matter.There was no need to have an unstable factor following them.
Chapter 100: The power of the rat spell deepens, ready to goCid didn't speak, only nodded in response.As someone who had thoroughly read the original "Jobless Reincarnation" novel, he was well aware of Ruijerd's character, which could be described as a tough guy with a tender heart.There was no need to worry that he might harbor ill intentions.Seeing this, Rudeus didn't say anything more; he trusted Big Brother Cid's judgment.Big Brother Cid would never harm him."You all rest. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the settlement that has shown us kindness," Ruijerdsaid, looking at Rudeus and Eris's slightly tired faces beside him, which naturally included Cid.Although he looked very energetic and showed no signs of fatigue, humans could only maintain their best condition after resting.The two didn't refuse and immediately burrowed into their bedding to rest.The wilderness of the Demon Continent was exceptionally cold late at night; otherwise, it wouldn't be called a continent with an extremely harsh environment by people from other continents.Moreover, the cold wasn't the most dangerous thing; what was dangerous were the monsters that could be seen everywhere in the wilderness, monsters that were uncommon presences on other continents.Most of them couldn't be dealt with by ordinary adventurers alone."Aren't you going to rest?" Cid asked, looking at Ruijerd, who was still sitting by the bonfire, intending to keep watch."I need to ensure your safety."Ruijerd shook his head, constantly using the red gem organ on his forehead to stay alert of his surroundings; he would detect any monster approaching immediately."You can also rest; someone will stand guard for us."Cid smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the Devouring Pouch he held emitted a faint light, revealing two Yoriichi Tsugikuni puppets without self-awareness in front of him.Ruijerd would be by his side from now on, and the existence of the Devouring Pouch would be exposed sooner or later, so it was better to proactively reveal it to him.After all, he was a trustworthy man."Are these puppets?"Ruijerd looked at the two additional puppets in front of him, a hint of surprise on his face, wondering where they were taken out from.These two puppets looked very ordinary and were not rare items."Yes."Cid nodded while placing his hands on the two Yoriichi Tsugikuni puppets in front of him, using his Mouse Talisman ability to bestow life upon them.As his understanding of the Mouse Talisman's ability deepened, he could now freely control the life bestowed upon objects and could retract the opponent's life at any time.He successfully achieved taking them out only when needed, and when not needed, retracting the bestowed life and storing them in the Devouring Pouch space.Once the Mouse Talisman's light disappeared, a trace of spiritual light, representing a living entity, immediately appeared in the eyes of the two Yoriichi Tsugikuni puppets."You two are in charge of keeping watch tonight.""Yes!"The two Yoriichi Tsugikuni puppets nodded in unison, executing the command one hundred percent."This…"Ruijerd looked at the changes in the puppets and stood up with a "swish," an expression of disbelief, like a country bumpkin, appearing on his usually stern face."What's going on?"He looked at Cid, his eyes full of wonder."Hmm… I am a Child of God."Cid smiled wryly, not giving a specific answer, only a vague one."A Child of God, huh?"Ruijerd fell silent upon hearing this, taking the scene he had just witnessed as an innate ability he possessed as a Child of God.Giving life to puppets, truly a miraculous ability."Are you sure they can stand guard well?"He sat down again, looking at the two sword-wielding puppets that had begun to keep watch in the distance, his gaze focused on their fragile wooden bodies.Puppets made of wood, he feared, would be torn to shreds by monsters in a single encounter, and their combat power might not even be as good as a weak goblin."Don't underestimate these two puppets; they possess the strength of a veteran Sword King, dealing with a stray Red Dragon is nothing to them," Cid chuckled, saying something no one would believe.If these two puppets had such strength, what was the point of ordinary swordsmen's efforts?Ruijerd also looked suspicious, not believing his words.Although the abilities of a Child of God were varied and strange, they shouldn't be to this extent, right?Most of the abilities possessed by Children of God in this world were supportive, but in reality, they weren't too strong, with only an occasional one or two being considered monsters.Seeing Ruijerd's skeptical expression, Cid didn't explain further, but instead took out bedding from the Devouring Pouch space and rested as well.Before the transfer incident occurred, he had stored a large amount of items inside, so he didn't have to worry about daily necessities for the time being.The supplies stored inside could last for a long time.He didn't stop Ruijerd from continuing to keep watch; the other party had long since developed his unique routine, so he didn't need to worry unnecessarily.Ruijerd looked at the items Cid conjured out of thin air, wanting to ask out of curiosity, but ultimately didn't speak.Everyone had their own secrets; if the other party didn't proactively say it, there was no need for him to ask, as long as he did his own job.In the middle of the night, half-asleep, Cid detected the sparring happening in the distance through his Observation Haki, a humorous expression on his lips as he continued to sleep.… … … …The next morning.Cid got up and used the Mouse Talisman's ability to restore the mysterious tiny scratches on the body of one of the Yoriichi Tsugikuni puppets.Then, he retracted the lives of the two puppets and stored them in the Devouring Pouch space.Beside him, Ruijerd held his pure white trident, raising a hand to touch his nose, secretly glancing over here.As if he had done something wrong."Demon Continent! Let the adventure begin!"Eris was full of energy, striking a unique pose, wearing the outfit she usually wore for sword training at home.Her upper body was a white long shirt with a brown leather vest over it, a beautifully crafted fire scale sword hung at her waist, and her lower body was a sexy brown leather hot pants.Her two fair, delicate, rounded legs were exposed, paired with a pair of brown leather long boots she wore, making her look very much like an adventurer.Rudeus's attire was simpler, merely wearing a mouse-gray robe over his original clothes, holding a top-tier magic staff taller than himself.Both of these items were made for him by Cid."Rudeus, your magic staff can be wrapped in cloth; otherwise, it might cause some unnecessary trouble if people see it," Cid warned Rudeus.He was wearing a handsome black trench coat, its surface dark and deep, exuding a mysterious luster; this trench coat had considerable resistance to magic.Its physical defense was also good, capable of completely blocking attacks swung by ordinary people with swords."Okay, Big Brother Cid," Rudeus said with a smile, nodding, and immediately took out a white cloth to wrap the magic staff layer by layer; he also understood the principle of not flaunting wealth.
