Chapter 101 Migrud Settlement, Luo Qixi's Father"Eris, this cloak is for you."Cid took out a white cloak and held it out to Eris."For me?"A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Eris's pale face. She immediately reached out to take the white cloak, then flung it over her shoulders with a flourish.The moment she put on the cloak, she felt her body gradually warm up. This was clearly another piece of clothing made from high-grade monster materials."Hmm? What is this?"Eris put on the hood connected to the cloak, and her fair little hands touched two strange protrusions on top of her head that resembled cat ears, a puzzled expression on her face.Cid intentionally turned his head away at this moment, pretending not to see.This cloak was made to resemble the one from the anime, and of course, he wouldn't miss out on the essence of it: a pair of cute cat ears.Eris quickly realized what the two protrusions on her head were, but she didn't dislike them; instead, she showed affection for them.It was evident how much she truly loved Beastfolk deep down."Let's go."Ruijerd stood quietly to the side. Seeing that the three seemed fully prepared, he immediately turned and headed towards the settlement he had stayed in before.Cid and the other two hurried to follow his steps.The Demon Continent was overrun with monsters. Although walking was slow, it was the safer method.If they used the Black Tiger as transportation, the surrounding monsters would surely be attracted because the Black Tiger's running made quite a commotion.To avoid unnecessary trouble, walking was currently the best option.However, with his deepened understanding of the Mouse Talisman's abilities, he was already planning to create a more convenient mode of transport that could achieve flight.This matter might be completed soon.The Demon Continent was covered in reddish-brown rocks, with severe elevation changes. The ground was hard, and the soil was fragmented into granular particles, containing no nutrients whatsoever.Such an environment was almost indistinguishable from a desert.The three followed Ruijerd slowly. After a short while, he suddenly stopped, then turned around and spoke calmly."You stay put. Do not move."After speaking, Ruijerd directly left, carrying the white trident in his hand. He agilely leaped over a rocky hill, and his figure immediately disappeared.Rudeus looked at Cid with curiosity, wanting to ask what Ruijerd was planning to do.He knew Cid's Observation Haki had a wide range and could definitely track the other party's movements.His own Haki was not fully developed; it could only cover the immediate vicinity. To cover distant areas, he still had a long way to go."Ruijerd is dealing with monsters."Cid smiled slightly, observing Ruijerd killing monsters on their path through his Observation Haki, and answered."Then let's go help him!"Upon hearing this, Eris's face showed excitement as she made the suggestion."We'll just wait here obediently."Cid saw through her thoughts and directly shook his head in refusal.Eris's face clearly fell, but she didn't act unreasonably; instead, she chose to listen to Cid's opinion.Clearly, she had matured somewhat compared to two years ago.Ruijerd quickly finished dealing with the monsters ahead and returned to them, leading the three to continue forward.However, along the way, he would occasionally leave for a while to deal with monsters alone. Each time he left, it wasn't for long, and he handled the monsters very quickly.Although the monsters in this area were not strong, their numbers were vast. If it weren't for his great strength, it would have been very slow to resolve them....After about three hours of travel, they passed through winding paths and finally arrived in front of a village of modest size.This small village consisted of only about a dozen houses clustered together, with a remarkably simple wooden fence built around the perimeter.Inside the fence was a not-so-wide patch of farmland, where some unknown plants were growing. The harvest looked to be rather poor."Stop!"At this moment, a very young-looking person with blue hair, resembling a youth, appeared at the village entrance and blocked the four of them."Rowin, who are these three people?"The blue-haired youth spoke in Demon God Language. Among the four, only Eris looked confused; the other three understood what he said."Rowin, they are the previous meteors who were transferred here to the Demon Continent due to the magical disaster in the Asura Kingdom."Rowin frowned slightly upon hearing Ruijerd's explanation, but he still harbored doubts and felt that strangers should not be allowed into the village easily.Cid looked at Rowin in front of him, vaguely seeing a hint of Roxy's appearance on his face, as he was her biological father."I know Roxy."He perceived Rowin's suspicion, took a step forward to stand close to him, then spread one hand, revealing the Migurd amulet Roxy had given him."What?"Rowin's expression clearly froze as he stared blankly at the Migurd amulet in Cid's hand.He could tell it was indeed Roxy's amulet.Thinking of this, his dazed expression turned to joy. He rushed forward and grabbed Cid's arm, eagerly asking a series of questions."Where is Roxy now? How is she doing? When does she plan to come home? And who are you to her?"Rowin was very emotional, which was normal. Roxyhad been away for nearly thirty years since she ran away from home.As a father, how could he not miss her?"Roxy is our master."Cid pulled Rudeus forward with him, looking at Rowin as he replied."Master?"Rowin's expression froze. He had thought Cid and Roxy were husband and wife; otherwise, why would he have Roxy's Migurd amulet?After all, thirty years had passed, and a normal person would have already started a family, married, and had children."Do you know Master Roxy?"Rudeus looked at Rowin curiously and asked."Roxy is my daughter."Rowin released Cid's arm and spoke with a somewhat complex expression."Then, may I ask if you can let us into the village now?"Cid smiled slightly, quietly looking at Rowin, who was considerably shorter than himself."This... I need to inform the village chief."Rowin didn't refuse. He immediately closed his eyes and used the Migurd's innate telepathy ability to notify the village chief to come.He had already determined that the three were not suspicious individuals. After all, they had Roxy's amulet, and they were also his daughter's disciples.However, considering the village's safety, he still needed to inform the village chief.Ruijerd's eyes showed surprise. He hadn't expected Cid to know someone from the Migurd, and that person happened to be Rowin's daughter.
Chapter 102: Rocks, a paradise for lolis?"What's going on now?"Eris, not understanding the Demon God Language, was unclear about the specifics of the conversation that had just taken place. She saw Rowin suddenly close his eyes and stop speaking.She immediately reached out and tugged hard on Cid's trench coat, asking for an explanation."He's notifying the village chief to come over."Cid turned his head, helpless, and replied."Oh, I see!"Eris stopped pulling, crossed her arms, and stood in place, waiting.Before long, a delicate young man, who looked like a child and also had blue hair, arrived at the village entrance, accompanied by two beautiful blue-haired girls.Cid looked at the scene before him and inwardly sighed with emotion that the Migurd were truly an excellent race that produced lolis and shotas, practically a paradise for certain people's dreams.The village chief did not immediately come before the four people; instead, he first spoke with Rowinto understand the situation.Once he understood what had transpired, he immediately walked up to the four with a smile on his face."Nice to meet you, I am Cid Greyrat."Cid greeted them with a standard noble's bow.Seeing this, Rudeus, who was beside him, immediately followed suit, bowing and stating his name."Nice to meet you, I am Rudeus Greyrat.""What polite children. I am Rocks, the chief of this settlement."Rocks nodded with a comfortable smile on his face, mainly directed at Rudeus. Cid did not look like a young child at all."Eris, you say hello too."Cid turned his head and gestured to Eris behind him."But... but we don't speak the same language."Eris was no longer maintaining her arrogant, cross-armed posture from before. She seemed a bit flustered and uncertain, hesitating how to greet him.Rocks's apparent age was similar to hers, but his aura was different, so she naturally couldn't greet him like she would a peer."Just like in class."Cid took Eris's soft, boneless white hand behind him, wanting to soothe her inner unease.Eris felt the large hand completely enveloping her fair palm, and a blush inexplicably appeared on her pretty face. She turned to Rocks."Nice to meet you, I am Eris Boreas Greyrat."She performed the noble etiquette she had learned, introducing herself to Rocks.Two gazes simultaneously looked over. One was naturally Rocks's, and the other was Ruijerd's, who looked puzzled.He clearly remembered Eris's name wasn't like that, was it?"Is this young lady greeting me?"Rocks looked at Cid in front of him and asked with a smile."Yes.""Oh, I see."Rocks immediately imitated the two's previous actions, performing a passable noble's bow to Eris, though it looked a bit unstandard."Nice to meet you, I am Rocks."Eris saw Rocks's actions, and even though she didn't understand the Demon God Language, she could still grasp what he was trying to express.A proud smile involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.See! She could communicate with demons even without knowing the Demon God Language!"Please come with me into the village!"Rocks had already learned that Cid and Rudeus had a significant connection to Roxy, so he could safely allow them into the village.The four nodded and followed Rocks into the village.Upon entering the village, one could clearly see the houses and farmlands. Cid could only describe them with the word "crude."The Migurd's house structure was very simple: they dug a large pit in the ground and then covered it with a thick turtle shell.These turtle shells should have come from the Great King Land Turtle.The Great King Land Turtle is a unique monster of the Demon Continent. Its shell is extremely hard, and most demon races, like the Migurd, use it as roofing material for their houses.Its meat is relatively good compared to other monsters, and its sinews can be used to make bowstrings, making it a monster that is valuable from head to toe.The farmlands were no less, with all the plants appearing withered and drooping, as if no one had carefully tended to them.What was eye-catching was that the farmlands not only had plants but also monsters!These monsters resembled carnivorous plants, with two rows of terrifying sharp teeth in their mouths, emitting eerie "kaka-kaka" sounds.Cid knew these carnivorous plants were beneficial monsters that could protect the farmlands and prevent harmful animals from invading them.In a corner of the village, some beautiful blue-haired girls could be seen sitting around a bonfire, preparing food, clearly for the villagers.This was because male members of the Migurdwere responsible for hunting monsters outside, while females were responsible for household affairs.The four quickly arrived at Rocks's house.The inside of the house looked quite spacious, with unknown beast furs laid on the ground and brightly colored tapestries hanging on the walls.In the center of the room was an area similar to a Japanese hearth, where a faint reddish fire burned, providing light for the entire space.Bows and swords were also placed in the corner, indicating that the Migurd were a true hunting people.Rocks then sat down beside the hearth, Ruijerd also sat on the floor, and Cid and Rudeus sat down without any hesitation.He also pulled Eris, who suddenly looked conflicted, to sit beside him, directly making the decision for her."You came to the Demon Continent through a transfer. How do you plan to return? On foot?"Rocks asked directly."I am a Magic tools blacksmith. I can use means of transport, but I haven't had time to make one yet. I might need to stay here for a few days."Cid looked at Rocks and made his request.Rocks was slightly stunned, feeling a bit surprised, as he didn't look like a Magic tools blacksmith at all. He didn't have broad, strong arms, nor thick calluses on his hands.No one would associate him with a Magic toolsblacksmith."This is one of my works. I'm giving it to you now as compensation for staying in the village for a few days."Cid took out a light blue longsword and handed it to Rocks.This sword had a water shield magic circle carved into it, making it a decent Magic tools."I can't accept this. It's fine if you want to stay in the village for a few more days."Rocks shook his head and did not accept the sword. With his age of over a hundred, he could tell at a glance that this sword was a fine weapon.He couldn't accept such a valuable gift."Take it. I have many more weapons like this."Cid placed the sword on the ground in front of Rocks, then took out ten identical light blue longswords, and then put them back.These were all his works from when he was learning magic circles, and they just sat gathering dust in his Devouring Pouch space. He never used these swords normally.Rocks saw what had just happened, and his mouth twitched violently. He wondered if he was getting a bit blurry-eyed in his old age.[Has the pace slowed down recently? I feel like it has slowed down a bit.]
Chapter 103: Conversation, Ruijerd's Past"Do you happen to have any Magic tools related to space on you?"Rocks snapped back to reality, and remembering the magical way he could conjure items out of thin air, he could not help but ask curiously."Yes, it is also my own creation."Cid did not hide it and nodded calmly in response.He was not afraid of the possibility of someone killing him to seize the treasure, which naturally stemmed from his own strength."Truly astonishing!"Rocks showed an unconcealed expression of shock, let out a sigh of admiration, and was impressed that he had achieved so much at such a young age.Spatial Magic tools were unprecedented in this world; at least, he had never seen one, nor had he even heard of space magic.The so-called God of Mines should be no more than this, right?"Then I will accept this sword. If you need any help while you are staying in the village these next few days, feel free to ask me, and I will definitely do my best to assist you!"Rocks did not refuse any further and picked up the water-blue longsword from the ground in front of him.The main thing was that the other party could mass-produce them; a single sword likely meant nothing to him, and accepting it could strengthen the settlement's power."Ruijerd, are you planning to escort them all the way home?"Rocks then cast his gaze toward Ruijerd, who was sitting quietly across from him.He was very clear about Ruijerd's character; he had a great tolerance for children, and given his personality, he was surely prepared to act as an escort.He was a man who could not possibly leave children to fend for themselves."They are children; they need someone to protect them."Ruijerd only nodded calmly at this question; in his heart, this was a matter of course."As I thought. But you cannot enter towns, right?"Rocks wore an expression of 'as expected' and then asked the soul-searching question.Ruijerd's expression faltered, and he frowned slightly."Hmm... I can stay outside the town."After a long silence, this was the only answer he could give.He truly could not enter towns because the reputation of the Spelute on the Demon Continentwas such that everyone wanted to beat them, and there were even wanted posters issued for them.If he were to enter a town, bad things would surely happen."That is truly irresponsible! Are you planning to just ignore whatever happens inside the town?"Ruijerd looked at Rocks, who wore a disapproving expression, gritted his teeth hard, and spoke with a resolute gaze."I will protect them well! A warrior of the Spelutekeeps his word!"Rocks looked at the terrifying murderous aura faintly emanating from Ruijerd and sighed slightly."Can you really achieve your goal this way?""Goal?"Rudeus looked surprised and turned his curious gaze toward Rocks.Rocks did not hide it either and looked directly at him to explain."It is a very simple matter; he wants to eliminate the world's negative perception of the Spelute."Upon hearing this, Rudeus felt that this was a task that was simply impossible to complete; the issue of discrimination could not be improved by human effort alone.Moreover, the world's perception of the Spelute was already deeply ingrained; wanting to change it was no less difficult than ensuring everyone in this world could have enough to eat."Is it not a fact that the Spelute are a terrifying race?"Rudeus thought of the rumors he had heard about the Spelute when he was a child—that they were demons who would even kill their own kind—and said this without any hesitation.Upon hearing this, Ruijerd immediately had a stress-induced reaction, reached out to grab Rudeus by the collar, and glared at him with a terrifying gaze."Wrong! That is not a fact! That was Laplace's conspiracy! The Spelute are not a terrifying race!"He shouted his rebuttal at the top of his lungs, his eyes covered with blood-red veins, and one could see the intense, unparalleled hatred contained within them.Rudeus trembled, looked at the terrifying aura of Ruijerd in front of him, and immediately cast a pitiful gaze toward Cid to seek help."Ruijerd, I apologize. Rudeus did not say that intentionally."Cid patted his strong, muscular arm, signaling him to let go of Rudeus."My apologies."Ruijerd snapped out of it, his fierce expression vanished, and a trace of apology immediately appeared on his face as he put down the Rudeus he was holding."Can you explain the events of that year in detail?"Cid took this opportunity to ask him.Ruijerd was silent for a moment, then nodded.Next, he explained to everyone in detail what happened between the Demon God Laplace and the Spelute back then, which was the same as what was explained in the original work.After Rudeus finished listening, a look of guilt could not help but surface on his face, and the complaints he had felt about the recent incident vanished completely.At the same time, a rare feeling of sympathy arose in his heart.After all, the Spelute were truly tragic, having been betrayed by the master to whom they had pledged loyalty, and then having killed their own beloved family members with their own hands.By now, it had become such that he was likely the only surviving member of the Spelute in the world."You said that the Demon Spear is a weapon possessing an evil curse. Is it possible that the curse on the spear has transferred to you?"Cid shared his guess with Ruijerd.It could not even be called a guess; it should be exactly that, because after Ruijerd shaved off his hair in the original work, the world clearly no longer felt intense fear toward him."Curse transfer?"Ruijerd's expression was stunned; clearly, he had not thought about this question."Have you not noticed that the fear the world shows toward the Spelute is clearly not normal? Does it not look too intense?""There is a high suspicion that it is a curse; for example, when you reveal your emerald green hair, do the people who see it suddenly become abnormally terrified?"Cid chose to reveal this piece of information to Ruijerd in advance; otherwise, he would not be able to enter towns, so this could be considered solving the trouble early.Ruijerd fell into deep thought for a moment, recalling a large number of scenes in his mind to find if there were any scenarios that matched his guess."Eris, do you think the guess that Big Brother Cidmade is correct?"Rudeus leaned over and asked Eris in a low voice.She had been scared to tears last night; as one of the parties involved, she had enough standing to determine if the guess was correct.Eris's small face showed a thoughtful expression, and then she nodded with absolute certainty in response."What Cid said is definitely correct!"Rudeus turned back, and a feeling of high admiration for Cid arose in his heart.How could he, as a reincarnator, be inferior to a native of this world?Oh, the native is his own big brother? Then it is fine!As a big brother, how could he be worse than his younger brother? Otherwise, how could he be called big brother!"Your words have some truth to them."After a long time, Ruijerd suddenly raised his head as if he had realized something, and his eyes looking at Cid showed a sense of gratitude.If it were not for his reminder, he might not have noticed the abnormality at all.If it were truly caused by the so-called curse, all the efforts he had made before would have been in vain.A curse is a very powerful and strange thing; it cannot be handled by normal means and basically requires someone with professional knowledge to handle it.
Chapter 104 Rudeus: Loli seems pretty good too?"You can try shaving your head and see if people's fear of you decreases."Cid smiled slightly and made a suggestion to Ruijerd."Alright."Ruijerd nodded seriously, stood up, picked up the white trident lying on the ground beside him, and then walked straight out of the house.It seemed he was eager to try."How surprising!"Rocks looked at Cid with admiration.After Cid's reminder, he also realized that the strong fear people had of the Spelute might be due to some kind of curse.For so many years, no one had discovered the problem.… … … …When the three of them left Rocks's house, they immediately saw Ruijerd leaning against the doorway.He was slightly different from before; his short emerald green hair was completely gone, replaced by a shiny bald head that reflected dazzling light.This made the red gem-like organ on his forehead more prominent."Are we staying here for a few days?"Ruijerd saw the three of them walk out and immediately looked at Cid in the middle, asking."Yes, I need to make a means of transportation."Cid smiled and nodded in response.Ruijerd nodded upon hearing this; he did not refuse, as this was a good opportunity to confirm the issue with his curse over the next few days.Soon, the four of them arrived at an unoccupied house of the Migurd, to serve as their residence for a few days.The Migurd population was not large, and there might occasionally be casualties among the men who went out, so having one or two unoccupied houses was normal."So hungry, Cid, I want to eat!"As soon as Eris entered the house, feeling the warm environment inside, her stomach immediately rumbled with hunger.She knew Cid had food in his Devouring Pouchspace; it had saved them time from hunting monsters for food while they were traveling."Don't worry, Village Chief Rocks said earlier that someone would bring food over soon."Cid smiled slightly, not planning to take out food from his Devouring Pouch space.Why eat pickled vegetables when there was hot food available now?"Alright."Upon hearing this, Eris no longer cared about etiquette and immediately lay down on the soft and comfortable ground covered with beast fur.The Migurd did not have beds; they slept directly wrapped in these furs, much like the life of primitive people in her previous life.After about half an hour, a fair-skinned, petite girl with long blue hair draped over her shoulders and a beautiful face entered the room carrying food.She maintained a faint smile as she placed the food in a corner of the room, then turned to the four people in the room and spoke politely in Demon God Language."Please enjoy your meal."Although the Migurd naturally possessed unique telepathic abilities, they still learned Demon God Language for convenient communication with outsiders.After saying this, she immediately exited the room.After she left, the four of them immediately began to eat the food.The food was meat, all from magic beasts; the quality of the meat was not exceptional, but it was not bad either, considered a relatively delicious ingredient on the Demon Continent.Rudeus recalled the beautiful figure and pretty face of the blue-haired girl just now, and his desire began to burn again.His eyes shifted slightly; he planned to try striking up a conversation later.He was not a pure Greyrat; he had a fondness for lolis, unlike his father Paul, who was only interested in mature women.Apparently, lolis didn't seem so bad either?Rudeus ate and mused, suddenly understanding why Big Brother Cid liked lolis like Master Roxy.… … … …After finishing lunch, Cid came alone to an open space outside the Migurd village and took out a large amount of metal from his Devouring Pouchspace.These metals piled up, forming a spectacular small mountain of steel.He was clearly preparing to forge a big guy!"Let's get to work!"Cid looked up at the metals he had brought back from the Demon Slayer World, a smile on his face.What he intended to forge this time was not just a simple means of transportation, but also something with combat capabilities, which might take a considerable amount of time.At this moment, he sensed a hidden figure in the distance through his Observation Haki, stopped his forging preparations, and turned around with a helpless expression in his eyes."Ruijerd, come out."The hidden figure's face showed surprise, not expecting the other party to be able to detect him.He possessed Imperial-level strength, and his hiding techniques were quite superb, so for the other party to easily discover his whereabouts was truly unexpected.Since he had already been discovered, Ruijerd no longer concealed himself and walked directly from behind a distant rock mountain to stand before Cid."Ruijerd, I'm not a child; I can protect myself."Cid looked at Ruijerd before him, a speechless expression on his face."The wilderness is dangerous; I need to protect your safety."Ruijerd shook his head with firm eyes, still treating him like a child."I am a warrior, and Rudeus and Eris are also considered warriors; we don't need to be taken care of everywhere, we can handle our own affairs."Cid showed a serious expression, conveying his thoughts to Ruijerd."This…"Ruijerd frowned slightly, sensing the firm attitude in his tone, and for a moment chose not to retort."Besides, aren't you aware of my abilities?"Cid intensified his efforts, taking out two Yoriichi Tsugikuni puppets and placing them aside.Ruijerd looked at the two puppets, thinking of what happened last night; they indeed possessed the strength of a veteran Sword King, and he nodded slightly, acknowledging his idea."The definition of a warrior doesn't rely on external objects, but you can indeed protect yourself."He looked at Cid with a slight smile."I'm also very strong."Cid smiled faintly; he had not yet displayed his own strength in front of Ruijerd, otherwise, how could the other party still treat him like a child?Ruijerd smiled noncommittally, then turned around and left, heading back towards the Migurd village.Cid did not withdraw his gaze until Ruijerd's tall figure disappeared from sight, then turned to look at the two Yoriichi Tsugikuni puppets he had taken out.He would need to concentrate during forging later, and there might be some short-sighted magic beasts coming to disturb him, so he would let them handle the guard duty.He used the Mouse Talisman's ability to re-bestow life upon the two puppets, having them monitor the surroundings and be responsible for his safety.Once he had no worries, he immediately began forging.The work he was about to create this time might be the most difficult item ever; he would combine the magic circles he had learned, a small amount of monster materials.And some scientific knowledge he had learned in his previous life; he truly looked forward to the finished product…
Chapter 105: Lokali: It's really annoyingIn the evening, when Cid Greyrat temporarily stopped forging and returned to the Migurd village, entering his house, a deep voice suddenly came from beside him."Rowin came looking for you earlier."Ruijerd sat on the ground, looking up at him."Rowin?"Upon hearing this, Cid immediately thought of the reason he came looking for him; it was nothing more than wanting to ask about Roxy."He probably wants to ask about his daughter's whereabouts."Ruijerd nodded, offering a guess.Although Rudeus knew some things about Roxy, he didn't know as much as Cid, so asking him was the best option."Ruijerd, do you know where Rowin's house is?"Cid prepared to meet this convenient father-in-law and also see Roxy's mother, essentially checking on her parents' current living conditions.There was no suspicion; he had no other thoughts. After all, they were Roxy's biological parents. If he had other thoughts, would he still be human?He would never destroy a happy family; this was a matter of principle."Turn left out the door, then..."Ruijerd released the trident he was holding and gestured simply with his fingers, telling him the location of Rowin's family's house.....Cid walked along the quiet path, following the exact address Ruijerd had given him, all the way to the front of Rowin's family's house.The front door was open, and he could see the red glow of the hearth fire inside.He stopped at the doorway and did not enter the house directly. The people inside heard the movement and immediately looked his way.There were two people inside, one of whom was naturally Rowin.The other was a beautiful blue-haired loli-like woman; although her figure appeared petite, she still exuded the unique mature charm of a married woman.Her skin was snow-white, her face beautiful, and her blue hair was tied into a simple ponytail resting on her shoulder. She wore a brown-yellow long dress in the Migurd style.She was Roxy's biological mother—Rokari."You are...?"Rokari looked at Cid, who appeared at her doorstep, her face showing a puzzled expression."Rokari, this is Cid, whom I told you about earlier today, Roxy's apprentice."Upon seeing Cid, Rowin's face showed a hint of excitement. He immediately stood up from the ground and walked to the doorway."Come in and sit down. I want to ask you some things."Cid smiled and nodded, stepping into the house.Once the three of them were seated cross-legged facing each other, Rokari, with a warm expression, introduced herself."Nice to meet you, I am Rokari Migludia. My daughter, Roxy, hasn't taught you anything bad, has she?""Nice to meet you, I am Cid Greyrat. My master, Roxy, is a good teacher. She is not as bad as you think."Cid also introduced himself, then smiled and answered Rokari's question."Oh, is that so?"Rokari's expression froze, then she showed a bitter smile.Nearly thirty years had passed; she wondered what changes Roxy had undergone. Had she become different from her memories?However, it was a joyful thing that she could become an excellent teacher."Cid, please tell us about Roxy's situation, please!"Rokari and Rowin exchanged glances, then both bowed their heads, making their request."No need for that. I came here precisely for this matter."Cid shook his head slightly, reaching out to gently lift their bowed heads.Hearing this, both of their faces simultaneously showed a hint of a smile.It seemed that after many years, Roxy had indeed become a good teacher, at least capable of teaching her apprentice to be polite.....After a long explanation, Rowin and Rokari finally learned about their daughter's situation, and their eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.If they had given Roxy more love back then, would things not have turned out this way?Unfortunately, what had happened had happened, and they could only accept reality."Then... did Roxy say when she would come home?"Rokari gently wiped away the tears in her eyes and looked at Cid with her red-rimmed beautiful eyes.Rowin also cast an expectant gaze, wanting to know if his daughter would still return.Cid didn't speak, only shook his head slightly, indicating he didn't know.The light in Rokari's beautiful eyes immediately dimmed."Don't worry, if I have the chance to meet Master Roxy, I will try to persuade her to come home for a visit."Cid looked at their crestfallen expressions and smiled, expressing his intention."Thank you. If Roxy truly doesn't want to come back, don't force her."Both of them showed grateful expressions and nodded vigorously."Alright, it's getting late. I'll head back now."Cid stood up and bid them farewell.He had been there for nearly three hours, and most of the villagers had already gone to sleep."If you need any help, you can always come to us!"Both of them smiled and stood up, watching him leave."Rowin, what do you think of Cid?"At the doorway, Rokari watched Cid's disappearing back, then turned to her husband beside her."He's a good kid."Rowin stated his evaluation directly."Sigh, Roxy still isn't married. I really don't know what she's thinking."Rokari thought about her daughter's life issues, resting her hand on her fair cheek with a troubled expression."You're not thinking of...?"Rowin's eyes showed a hint of surprise as he stared at her blankly.Rokari gave a faint smile and did not answer, turning decisively back into the house.If she had the chance in the future, she would try.....When Cid returned to his dwelling, Rudeus and Erishad already gone to bed early, likely because they hadn't rested well yesterday.Coupled with the magic power consumed by the transfer incident, it was normal for them to feel tired.Ruijerd was leaning against the wall at this time, holding his white trident. He noticed the movement and slightly opened his eyes to look at him.He didn't speak, immediately closing his eyes again to sleep.Cid naturally noticed the gaze Ruijerd had just cast. He didn't mind and simply lay down on the ground covered with beast fur.As a warrior, Ruijerd sleeping like that allowed him to remain constantly vigilant, ready to respond immediately if danger arose.This was a habit he had maintained for hundreds of years.Of course, the main reason was that he had participated in brutal wars.Cid lay flat on the ground, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, and began to ponder his next actions.After leaving the Migurd settlement, his next plan was to head to Likaris Town to earn Demon Continent currency by forging Magic tools.Once he had enough money, he would post a request at the Adventurers Guild. He would do his best, but he didn't want to do anything more.After all, he was not a saint who saved the world; he only wanted to take care of the people around him.
Chapter 106 Frost Dragon: Master, Master, do you think I am beautiful?During his time in the Migurd village, Cid had been busy forging, and after three days, he finally completed his work today!In the open space outside the village, a colossal creature lay sprawled on the dry, cracked reddish-brown ground.This was a giant dragon, entirely ice-blue, visibly composed of numerous metals, and containing an incredibly complex gear structure.The originally silver-white metal color had been dyed ice-blue, adding a chilling aura to it.The ice-blue giant dragon's body stretched for tens of meters, with a pair of wings on either side that could obscure the sky, capable of generating strong gusts of wind with a gentle flap.It had a pair of ferocious, curled dragon horns on its head, and two pairs of thick steel limbs with sharp claws, gleaming with a captivating cold light.Its body, covered in metal scales, made it look like a real giant dragon, rather than a creature made of metal.In summary, this was an ice-blue, steel creature shaped like a Western giant dragon.Cid looked up at the ice-blue giant dragon in front of him, a satisfied expression on his face.It was a truly good piece of work; if he hadn't wanted to meticulously craft a large number of realistic details during its creation, it might have been completed a day earlier.He was, after all, a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder.Cid didn't hesitate for a moment, eager to see the giant dragon in front of him come to life, so he could test its abilities in its other form.He extended a hand forward, placing it on the ice-blue giant dragon's robust body, and a slightly cold temperature immediately emanated from his palm.As the Mouse Talisman's ability activated, a faint light enveloped him, and he let out an impassioned shout."Revive, Frost Dragon!"Buzz!Frost Dragon's massive body trembled slightly, ice-blue divine light illuminated her two enormous pupils, and the dragon wings on either side of her body spread outwards.She slowly rose on her four limbs, revealing her full form, and let out a majestic, excited roar, stirring up a gust of wind imbued with ice elemental magic.Monsters near this area, hearing the roar, scurried away with their tails between their legs.Cid looked at the Haki-filled Frost Dragon in front of him, covering his forehead with a hint of helplessness.He slapped one of Frost Dragon's legs, complaining, "Look what you've done, making such a commotion. Someone's definitely going to come here soon."Frost Dragon's massive body visibly trembled, she lowered her majestic head, and a very human-like expression of apology appeared on her face, as she spoke softly and plaintively, "Master, I didn't mean to, please forgive me."She spoke in a clear, sweet loli voice, and, thanks to her complete biological structure, a few crystalline tears welled up in her ice-blue pupils, revealing a pitiful expression."Remember to be careful!"Cid shook his head, not truly blaming her.It was normal for her to show excitement, having just gained life."Thank you, Master!"Frost Dragon's face lit up with joy, and she affectionately nudged him gently with her head, making the scene appear somewhat unusually strange for a moment."Transform into your other form and show me."Cid forcefully pushed away Frost Dragon's cold, hard head."Yes, Master!"Frost Dragon, whose head had been pushed away, didn't seem displeased and immediately followed his instructions, controlling the numerous gears hidden within her body to rotate.The sound of gears turning, "ka-ka-ka," echoed in the area. Frost Dragon's ice-blue wings were the first to retract into her body, followed by her two pairs of thick limbs.Then came her head, her tail...When the sound of the gears stopped, Frost Dragonhad completely transformed.She could no longer be called Frost Dragon; she should be called the Frost Giant!Before Cid stood an ice-blue giant, towering over ten meters tall.The ice-blue giant resembled a Transformer from his previous life; unlike Frost Dragon's appearance earlier, which was like a real creature, she now exuded a dreamy mechanical feel.She possessed a pair of strong yet slender metal legs and arms, and a beautiful, mechanical-looking female face.The surface of her curvaceous, enormous female body was covered with deep blue patterns that emitted a faint glow, exuding a sense of mystery and oppression.Most importantly, she was equipped with a weapon in each of her hands.One was an ice-blue longsword, sized to fit her, engraved with multiple advanced water magic circles inside; the other was a multi-barreled machine gun with dozens of muzzles and a transparent, icy-bright barrel.This was practically a giant version of a Gatling gun!This multi-barreled machine gun was connected to her body, providing a decent supply of large-caliber ammunition, making it an absolutely terrifying weapon."Master, Master, do you think I'm beautiful?"Frost Dragon squatted down, gazing at Cid with her beautiful mechanical face, her ice-blue pupils filled with anticipation, wanting to receive her desired answer."Indeed beautiful, a beauty full of unique charm."Cid shook his head with a smile; how had he managed to create such a lively treasure with the Mouse Talisman?The Mouse Talisman bestows life upon objects, and the initial personality is completely random and cannot be changed."Hehe!"Upon receiving a satisfactory answer, Frost Dragon's pretty face showed happiness as she straightened up, her ice-blue twin pigtails on her head swaying.Her hair was made from special materials, refined through Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, and was no different from real hair, full of silky, flowing texture.Just then, Cid suddenly looked into the distance, where several figures were rapidly approaching.As they drew closer, the appearances of these figures became clear: Ruijerd, Rudeus, Eris, Rocks, and the male members of the Migurd village who had stayed behind.Frost Dragon noticed the approaching group and immediately drew her ice-blue longsword, blocking Cid, the ground slightly trembling with her movements."They are not enemies."Cid spoke, signaling her to put away her hostility.Upon hearing this, Frost Dragon quickly retracted the weapon in her hand, reattaching the ice-blue longsword to the specially made weapon rack on her arm.Ruijerd and the others did not continue to approach, but stopped at a short distance, observing them, and simultaneously looking at Frost Dragon's tall mechanical body with astonished eyes.Cid's figure flickered, instantly appearing before them."Cid, what just happened?"Ruijerd's grip on his trident relaxed as he asked Cidwith confusion.Everyone else also cast curious glances.A sudden roar had echoed earlier, prompting them to hastily organize a group to investigate, as the location was very close to the village.If left unchecked, it could pose a threat to the Migurdvillage."My apologies, everyone, that roar earlier was purely an accident."Cid looked at Ruijerd in front of him, an apologetic expression on his face."Is this the Magic tools you've been forging these past few days?"Rocks looked at the ice-blue giant, standing quietly in front of them, faintly exuding a terrifying aura, his eyes filled with profound admiration.[PS: Everyone, do you think I should give Frost Dragon a name, or is it better to just call her Frost Dragon? My intention is for her to be a subordinate, not a capture target.]
Chapter 107: Rudeus: She's Too Enthusiastic, I Can't Control Myself"Yes."Cid didn't hide anything, chuckling and nodding.Rocks, including Rowin and the other Migurd men specifically left to guard the village, all showed expressions of shock, feeling their worldview challenged.Are you sure that female ice-blue giant, radiating a terrifying aura, is a Magic tool?!It would be more reasonable to say she's some kind of special demon."In that case, Rowin, let's head back first."Rocks, wise with age, knew this was Cid's secret. He suppressed his intense curiosity and prepared to lead Rowin and the others away.It's better not to know too much about some things."Alright, Village Chief."Rowin nodded in response, following Rocks back.Before long, only Cid, Ruijerd, Rudeus, and Erisremained."Brother Cid, did you really forge that giant?"Rudeus pulled back his dazed gaze, looking at Cid in front of him, his face filled with an indescribable expression of shock.He hadn't expected Brother Cid to be so amazing, capable of creating such a magnificent and spectacular high-tech work. It was simply astonishing!For this world, the existence of the ice-blue giant was a groundbreaking creation; others wouldn't be able to make it even in a hundred years.How could he not be surprised? After all, in his eyes, Cid was also a native of this world, who hadn't received knowledge from his previous life's teachings."What, do you not believe in my methods?"Cid chuckled, a hint of teasing on his face."How should I put it..."Rudeus quickly waved his hands, indicating it wasn't like that, then showed a very complex expression, unsure how to answer."Oh! So cool!"While the two were talking, Eris had already run up to the Frost Dragon, looking up at her majestic ice-blue body.Out of curiosity, she reached out to touch the Frost Dragon's body.Upon contact, a wonderfully cool sensation, like real ice, passed through her hand, bringing a cold touch.The Frost Dragon now squatted down, calmly observing Eris with a pair of large, ice-blue beautiful eyes, and a slightly playful loli voice came from her mouth."Little sister, it's impolite to touch someone's body without permission, you know~!""Ahhh!"Eris saw the Frost Dragon speak to her, her red pupils shaking violently, and she let out a scream, her legs involuntarily backing away."You, you... how can you talk!"She stretched out a fair, slender finger towards the Frost Dragon, a look of horror on her snow-white face."Eris, you're really not afraid of danger!"Cid, with Ruijerd and Rudeus, came over to Eris, looking at her shocked little expression with a speechless look."Hmph! I can protect myself too!"Eris heard this, immediately suppressed the shock in her heart, crossed her arms, and replaced her delicate, smooth, snow-white face with a tsundere expression.Ruijerd said nothing, carefully observing the Frost Dragon in front of him. After a moment, he turned to Cid with a puzzled expression."Are you planning to have her take us on our journey?"Cid heard him and turned to nod."She seems more like a combat entity."Ruijerd received his answer and voiced his thoughts.The Frost Dragon's appearance was humanoid; she indeed didn't look like a means of transport. Her huge size would certainly create a lot of commotion when running.She was truly far from being a mode of transportation."Frost Dragon, change back to your previous form!"Cid smiled faintly, turned around, and gave the Frost Dragon a command."Yes, Master~!"Upon receiving the order, the Frost Dragonimmediately straightened her body, controlling the large number of gears inside her to rotate, just as before.Click, click, click!In a flash, she transformed back into her dragon appearance, her four limbs on the ground, her entire body of ice-blue, nearly transparent dragon scales shimmering with brilliant light."This..."Rudeus and the other two looked at the scene before them, couldn't help but show shocked expressions again, unable to believe that the Frost Dragon could actually transform?!"So that dragon's roar was from her."Ruijerd looked at the ice-blue giant dragon in front of him, a look of realization flashing in his eyes, finally understanding the majestic roar that had sounded earlier."How is it?"Cid looked at Ruijerd with a smile."It's a miracle!"Ruijerd shook his head with a wry smile, looking at him with admiration in his eyes, genuinely impressed by his almost divine forging ability....After the four returned to the Migurd village, they didn't immediately set off. They planned to stay there for another day and leave tomorrow.It was currently afternoon, not long until night, and traveling late at night was not a good choice."Rudeus, Eris, remember to prepare your things. We're leaving tomorrow."After returning to the house, Cid reminded the two."I know."Eris's expression was normal, without any reluctance, but she grew increasingly excited for the strange adventure ahead.Rudeus, however, was different. His eyes showed obvious reluctance; he didn't want to leave here yet and looked at Cid with a pleading gaze."Brother Cid, can we stay a few more days?""Hmm? Why?"Cid asked with a puzzled expression.Rudeus's expression became awkward; he was a bit embarrassed to answer this question.Should he say it was because of a girl?He had just confirmed their relationship yesterday. If he were to leave the Migurd settlement tomorrow, what would she think?Would she think of him as a man like Paul?"Brother Cid, let's talk outside."Rudeus still chose to state the specific reason, but seeing Eris and Ruijerd in the room, he suggested they discuss it outside."Alright."Cid didn't refuse, as he was quite curious about Rudeus's reason for wanting to stay. The two immediately walked out of the house together.Eris watched their retreating figures, her beautiful eyes subtly flickering, very curious to eavesdrop, but there were others in the room.She thought about it and ultimately chose to stay put.Outside, after Cid heard Rudeus's reason, his face immediately showed an expression of admiration, and he gave him a thumbs up."Good for you! What are you planning to do next? Are you going to take her with you? Or are you going to leave her here?""This..."Rudeus hesitated, then his face showed an expression of distress."Brother Cid, what do you think I should do?"If she hadn't been so enthusiastic, he could have barely controlled his desires, but since it had already happened, he had to take responsibility.Moreover, she genuinely liked him, and he couldn't just leave her.Although he was a good-for-nothing NEET in his previous life, he wasn't a scumbag. If a girl genuinely liked him, how could he bear to abandon her?He had to find a solution now.
Chapter 108 Leaving the Town Where the Demon Emperor Once Lived"Staying with us might be dangerous, so it's not a suitable option." Cid stroked his chin with one hand, looking at Rudeus and expressing his thoughts.Upon hearing this, a hint of urgency appeared on Rudeus's face; he clearly leaned towards taking her with them to leave this place."There shouldn't be much danger on the road, right? Can't we really take her with us?""If you care about her safety, then let her stay here." Cid lowered his hand, looking directly at Rudeus."I…" Rudeus lowered his head, a dejected expression on his face."I promise you can stay a few more days. You should explain the reasons to her clearly during these days, so there aren't any strange misunderstandings," Cidsaid with a smile, placing his hand on Rudeus's shoulder."Alright." He still chose to heed Cid's suggestion and didn't insist, mainly because what Brother Cid said made sense; staying in the village was the safest option.Cid lightly patted Rudeus's shoulder, then turned and returned to the house.Rudeus didn't enter the house but walked straight towards a certain building...…A few days later.At the entrance of the Migurd village, Cid and the four of them stood, fully prepared, with Rowin, Rokari, and a charming blue-haired loli in front of them.The blue-haired loli was, of course, Rudeus's sweetheart, named Luo Yingying.Incidentally, Luo Yingying was the girl who had brought them food earlier."Cid, please take this. It's not much, but I hope it can help you all." Rowin pulled out a cloth bag and handed it over. As his arm swayed, a slightly heavy sound echoed from within, accompanied by the clinking of metal.Cid didn't stand on ceremony, taking the cloth bag and opening it to inspect.Inside the cloth bag were some crude coins made of stone, and also coins cast from dark gray metal—these were the currencies used on the Demon Continent."Thank you very much." Cid put away the cloth bag and thanked Rowin and Rokari."It's nothing, this is our heartfelt gesture. We still need to trouble you with Roxy's matter." Rokari's beautiful eyes held a smile as she quietly looked at Cid, feeling that her daughter was truly fortunate to be able to teach such an excellent boy."I will, Mother-in-law." Cid smiled slightly, uttering words that surprised the couple.Indeed, Rowin and Rokari's expressions froze, somewhat slow to react."Oh my! This is truly delightful!" When Rokarirecovered, she covered her cheeks with her hand, a look of joy on her face, feeling immense happiness at the title he used.Rowin, on the other hand, remained silent, scrutinizing Cid with a discerning gaze, his thoughts unclear."We are leaving now. We shall meet again if fate allows!" Cid saw that Rudeus had also finished bidding farewell to Luo Yingying, promising to return for her, and then spoke his final goodbyes to the couple."We shall meet again if fate allows!" The couple smiled and waved their arms in response....In the clearing outside the village, Cid and the four of them arrived once again, with a massive ice-blue dragon lying in front of them.He hadn't recalled Frost Dragon's life earlier, but instead let her wait here. The reason was simple: to let her experience the outside world properly."Let's go!" Cid leaped lightly, jumping onto Frost Dragon's back, which was covered with a layer of ice-blue leather.The three others followed suit, quickly seating themselves on her back.Rudeus put aside his sadness and turned his head to Cid, asking, "Brother Cid, where are we going next?""To the town." Cid smiled faintly. Frost Dragon at this moment flapped the pair of ice-blue wings on either side of her body, her massive form ascending vertically into the sky, kicking up a thick cloud of dust on the ground.A strong gust of wind howled past the four of them. They curiously looked down at the ground, noticing that all the scenery below was rapidly shrinking.The thick rock mountains became tiny, and the distant scenery was clearly visible."Oh! This is amazing!" Eris exclaimed, her small face filled with excitement, her red hair flying backward, and her clothes flapping loudly in the wind.Before long, when Frost Dragon reached an altitude level with the white clouds, she began to steadily move in a certain direction. The ride was even less bumpy than riding a carriage.Ruijerd looked at the clear blue sky and the clouds passing by, a look of emotion on his face.He truly hadn't expected that he would have a day when he could fly in the sky.This was a first in the hundreds of years he had lived....The journey to the nearest town would originally take three days, but Frost Dragon's presence allowed the four to arrive by evening, taking only half a day.Food was also not a concern; there was no need to land and hunt monsters along the way, as Cid had pre-stored food in the Devouring Pouch space.Frost Dragon landed at a location not far from the town, without causing any incidents.Cid temporarily recalled Frost Dragon's life, putting her body into the Devouring Pouch space.Then, the three of them followed Ruijerd towards the distant town, successfully reaching the entrance in a short amount of time.This was Likaris Town, one of the three major cities of the Demon Continent, once the base of the Demon Emperor Kishirika Kishirisu.Likaris Town's location was very special; it was built in a huge circular crater.The thick mountain walls of the crater served as natural city walls, and the town center was the half-collapsed Kishirisu Castle, which was destroyed during the Laplace War.The town had three entrances, with the cracks in the crater being directly used as entrances. The mountain walls here were very high, making it difficult to invade from anywhere other than the entrances unless one could fly.At the entrance stood two guards: one was a serious-looking fellow with a snake head, and the other was a seemingly arrogant fellow with a pig head."Stop! Who are you! What are you doing here!" The snake-headed soldier looked at Cid and the four, shouting his usual inquiry."We are travelers." Cid blocked Eris, causing the pig-headed soldier's lecherous gaze to lose its target."Are you adventurers?" The snake-headed soldier stretched his neck, examining the four one by one, finding no abnormalities; they were no different from other people entering and exiting the town.Ruijerd wore a headband on his forehead, covering the red gem organ, and his white trident was also wrapped in cloth, making it look no different from a magic staff."No, we are just ordinary travelers." Cid shook his head and replied."Is that so? Then you may enter." The snake-headed soldier retracted his neck, signaling them to proceed."Alright." Cid smiled, leading the three into Likaris Town.After successfully passing the entrance, a complex expression appeared on Ruijerd's face, mixed with a hint of joy.Cid was right; it truly was the curse! He had also tested it a few days ago, and people who saw him no longer showed intense fear as before, and now he had truly entered the town smoothly.He couldn't help but feel like crying tears of joy…[PS: To be honest, the plot in the Migurd section was actually shortened quite a bit, such as descriptions of the men leaving the village, and some introductions about Luo Yingying, but considering it might be too drawn out, I chose to end this part of the story. ε=(´o｀)]
Chapter 109 Meeting begins, everyone's next course of actionThe source of the curse has vanished, and people's fear of him should gradually diminish. Normal communication with others is not a fantasy.Thinking of this, his gratitude towards Ciddeepened.Before them appeared a street scene with buildings slightly shorter than those in Roa Town, though their internal structures were largely similar.Near the entrance, inns for merchants and stables were lined up. Cid stood in place, looked around, and then walked towards one of the inns.It was nighttime, and they needed to find a place to rest.Upon entering the chosen inn, Cid led Ruijerd and the other two to the counter and asked the boss inside,"Boss, how much for a room?"He spoke the Demon God Language with unusual fluency, showing no trace of having learned it just last year; instead, he sounded like a native-born Demon from the Demon Continent."Five stone coins."The inn boss, a Demon with a deer head, looked up and answered the four.This inn was open to everyone and was not a place exclusively for Adventurers."Then give us a room."Cid took out the money sponsored by Rowin and placed five stone coins on the counter.The boss did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked to confirm how many of them there were. Upon seeing four people in total, he couldn't help but remind Cid,"There are only two beds in one room. Are you sure you want one room?""Then let's get two rooms."Upon hearing this, Cid took out another five stone coins and placed them on the counter, showing no intention of saving and not worrying if they would run out quickly.The deer-headed boss nodded, accepted the stone coins, and placed two keys on the counter....After discussion, the four decided on their rooms.Cid and Eris shared one room, while Ruijerd and Rudeus shared another. The two rooms were right next to each other, so they could see the adjacent room as soon as they stepped out.If danger arose, the four could meet instantly.This inn was cheap, but it only provided basic accommodation; food and other issues were not handled, requiring them to find their own solutions.Otherwise, why would the inn be so cheap?Inside the inn room, the four were now sitting on the edges of the two beds, not immediately falling asleep, as if they were about to discuss something."Everyone, let's have a meeting now to discuss our future course of action."Cid broke the silence in the room.The three nodded in agreement with him, listening quietly and attentively."I have some conjectures about the transfer incident. Its scope might be very wide, and residents of the Fittoa Territory might also have been teleported to various parts of the world, just like us.""Including our parents."When Cid finished speaking, he looked at Rudeus, whose expression had frozen. He clearly hadn't considered these things.He had thought that only the three of them, plus Ghislaine, had been teleported away, and that everyone else in the Fittoa Territory was still living peacefully.When he recovered, he immediately fixed his gaze on Cid."Big Brother Cid, then shouldn't we hurry back? To confirm the safety of Mother and the others."After Cid's reminder, his mindset of treating the journey as a game immediately disappeared, and he couldn't help but worry about Zenith and his two younger sisters at home."You're right, but things need to be done step by step; we can't rush."Ruijerd, who was beside him, heard this and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He was very satisfied with Cid's steady demeanor, a psychological quality that many adults lacked."Then what should we do first now?"Rudeus calmed himself down and asked again.Upon hearing this, Cid directly stated his plan to the three."So our goal is to earn money? But relying solely on you, Big Brother Cid, it would take a long time to earn enough money, wouldn't it?"Rudeus, upon learning of the next course of action, didn't want to leave everything to him; he also wanted to do something himself."That's right! We want to help too!"Eris was the same. Her personality was not the type to rely solely on men; she was more like those strong women who started their own businesses in her previous life.Her assertive personality made her feel that she couldn't just stand by and let Cid solve the problem alone; she also had to offer help."I'll help too."Although Ruijerd was not good with words, his thoughts were the same as the other two."I never said I wouldn't let you help. If I had to do everything myself, I wouldn't want to either; that would be very tiring."Cid looked at the three with an amused expression.Rudeus and the other two choked, speechless at his flippant remark, then a smile simultaneously appeared on their faces."Ahem, I have a suggestion: you can earn money by becoming Adventurers."Cid cleared his throat, returned to a serious expression, and made the suggestion to the three. If they wanted to earn money, becoming an Adventurer was the best method.It didn't matter if he became one or not; he could earn money by selling Magic tools.Magic tools forgers were a very popular profession everywhere; there was no need to worry about money as long as the quality of the Magic tools was guaranteed, and there would be no shortage of buyers.Moreover, he was not just an ordinary Magic toolsforger.He didn't care for the meager income earned as an Adventurer."Cid, are you sure? The two of them have no combat experience, and Adventurer quests involve danger, with battles often occurring."Ruijerd heard Cid's suggestion and, thinking of Eris's and Rudeus's completely novice combat experience, worried about their safety."You'll be with them, won't you? And the two of them aren't as weak as you imagine."Cid had no concerns about their safety, as both Erisand Rudeus had the Three Treasures Orb he had given them for protection.The dangers encountered after becoming Adventurers were nothing; they wouldn't cause life-threatening harm."Ruijerd, don't underestimate me!"Eris's small face showed displeasure, and her sparkling ruby eyes gazed at Ruijerd, wanting to prove that her strength was not weak.Ruijerd looked at the fighting spirit burning in Eris's eyes, a helpless smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, signifying his agreement for the two to become Adventurers.Regardless of their strength, he was confident he could protect them."Then we'll go to the Adventurers Guild tomorrow morning to register."Cid looked at the three in front of him and decided with a smile.Soon, the meeting ended, and Cid took Eris back to the adjacent room.Once they were both lying on their respective beds, Eris secretly stared with her beautiful red eyes at Cid, who was lying flat on the nearby bed.Because he had a habit of sleeping without clothes, and despite the cover of the bedding, his perfect body curves and well-defined muscles were faintly visible…...
Chapter 110 Adventurer's Guild, a Different Kind of GirlThis scene made Eris's face flush, a captivating blush appearing on her delicate, fair little face as she secretly peeked with her beautiful eyes.She didn't have the same habit as Cid, but the slightly tight brown leather hot pants she was wearing felt uncomfortably constricting.But there was no nightwear here, so she could only sleep like this.Cid naturally noticed Eris's gaze, but he didn't pay attention, still keeping his eyes closed; mainly, she could only look but not eat, so it was better to fall asleep as soon as possible....The night passed without a word, and the next morning.Cid and his group of four arrived at the Adventurers Guild early.The Adventurers Guild is a gathering place for many strong individuals, those confident in their physical abilities, and those confident in their magical skills.Cid pushed open the Adventurers Guild's huge double doors with force, and the noisy, chaotic sounds immediately filled his ears.What met his eyes were various demon races, each with different appearances, exuding fierce, wild, and other auras.There were swordsmen in light armor, magicians with light equipment, enchanting women with snake tails for lower bodies, and half-horse women with full, strong horse bodies.It perfectly matched the descriptions of other worlds in novels from his previous life!As the four entered the Adventurers Guild, a small number of Adventurers inside also looked their way, sizing them up.Most people just quickly glanced and then withdrew their gaze, returning to their own affairs, feeling that there was nothing strange about them.Except for the bald man whose face somewhat resembled the rumored Dead End, the other three looked perfectly normal.That bald man definitely wasn't Dead End, because he was bald, and this single characteristic completely ruled out the possibility.Their arrival did not cause the slightest commotion, and the awkward scene from the original work was even less likely to occur.The reason Rudeus did that in the original work was to help Ruijerd prove that the Spelute were not devils, but normal demon races.Now with Cid's presence, he had even pointed out the curse that made the world fear them, and with the gradual passage of time, the Spelute's reputation could begin to be corrected.Therefore, there was no need to do such superfluous things at all.Rudeus looked at the unique Alien Girl(heteromorphic girls) in the Adventurers Guild, and a strong desire suddenly ignited in his heart, making him swallow a mouthful of saliva.He was still very curious about heteromorphic girls; in his previous life, he had read many comics of this type.At this moment, Luo Yingying's pretty face appeared in his mind, which made him forcefully suppress his desire, looking straight at the ground.He wanted to use this method to divert his attention, but the figures of these heteromorphic girls still flashed in his mind, putting him in a somewhat painful situation.He was not Paul; he was already very satisfied with Luo Yingying's love, and he absolutely could not betray the sincerity she had given! He must hold back!Soon, he felt the desire in his heart slowly extinguish.That's right, he already had Luo Yingying, and he couldn't fool around outside.Thinking of this, Rudeus put his hand into his clothes pocket, feeling a piece of delicate and soft fabric, and a look of happiness appeared in his eyes.Since he was at the very back, his brief abnormality just now did not alert Cid and the others; no one noticed anything unusual except for the heteromorphic girls he had briefly cast a fervent gaze upon.Getting back to the main topic, Cid was now leading the three behind him to the right, passing by demon races like the Mantis Man and Horse-faced Man along the way.Upon entering the Adventurers Guild, there was a large bulletin board covered with papers on the left, and four counters lined up on the right, responsible for handling affairs.The registration of Adventurers was also handled by the counter staff.Cid stopped in front of a counter, his eyes looking at the woman standing inside.This was a female demon race with light green skin, ears similar to elves in other-world novels, some pink patterns tattooed below her right eye on her cheek, and long, light green hair.She wore a black professional suit, and the neckline of her outfit was very wide, revealing two incredibly deep cleavages.Yes, two!This female demon race had three snow-white peaks, one more than ordinary people, and although it was one more, the joy could be doubled!"Hello, we'd like to register as Adventurers."Cid's eyes were calm, uninterested in the wondrous sight before him; the number of peaks was best at two, three was too strange."Alright, please fill out the forms here."The female staff member took out four sheets of paper and a sharpened black slender charcoal pencil and placed them on the counter.The content on all four papers was the same, with sections to fill in names and professions, and also some precautions and regulations for becoming an Adventurer.Cid did not hesitate, taking the charcoal pencil first and beginning to fill out the form; after he finished, he stepped aside, allowing Eris to fill hers out.Before long, the four of them had successively filled out their respective forms.An amusing incident occurred along the way: Rudeus was the shortest of the four, and he wasn't even as tall as the counter in front of him; even standing on tiptoes, he couldn't reach the form.Evidently, this counter was specially built to accommodate the tall stature of the demon race.He was only able to successfully complete the form by having Ruijerd hold him up."Next, please place your hands on this."Seeing that everyone had finished filling out the forms, the female staff member took out a transparent board about the size of a game box, with a magic circle engraved in its center and a metal card underneath.Cid did as he was told, extending one hand and placing it on the transparent board.The female staff member gently tapped the corner of the board, calmly read out the content of his form, and then tapped the board again with her fingertip.The magic circle engraved in the center showed a clear reaction, emitting a faint red light, which then disappeared in an instant."This is your Adventurer's Card, please keep it safe."The female staff member handed over an ordinary-looking iron plate, with some text recorded on it, and a hazy glow emanating around the characters.Cid took the Adventurer's Card and quickly glanced at it; the content was exactly what he had just filled out on the form, without the slightest difference.The text on the card was in Human Language; this was displayed according to one's own race, and if it were a demon race, it would be displayed in Demon God Language.However, one could also change the language by pressing the center of the card, and it could be changed as long as the magic power within it did not disappear.Upon registering as an Adventurer, the level was always the lowest; one needed to complete quests to level up, but he had no interest, only accompanying the three others in registering.The highest Adventurer rank was S, and the lowest was F."It's your turn."Cid put away his Adventurer's Card, letting Ruijerdand the other two take turns repeating his actions.After the three had each received their Adventurer's Cards, the female staff member looked at the four of them and, as usual, asked a question."Do you want to register as a party as well?"She would ask this question every time someone became an Adventurer.
Chapter 111: Devil's Wings, Luo Qixi's former teammateAs discussed last night, Ruijerd, Rudeus, and Erisformed a party, while Cid did not intend to join.Because he had his own things to do."The three of us need to register; he doesn't."Rudeus spoke to the female staff member, specifically pointing to Cid."Alright, then let me first explain some detailed information about parties to you."The female staff member nodded in understanding and slowly explained various details about parties, including the maximum number of members, and the respective permissions of members and the leader, and so on...After explaining all the details, she asked Ruijerd a question."So, what is the name of the party you wish to use?"Cid looked like the leader, but he wasn't going to join the party, and two of the remaining three people were clearly children.Ruijerd was an adult male, and in her opinion, he would most likely become the party's leader, so she naturally chose to ask him.Upon hearing this, Ruijerd was a little at a loss, looking at Cid and the other two for their opinions."Rudeus, you come up with it."Cid shrugged, entrusting the important task of naming the party to Rudeus; he himself was terrible at naming things and didn't want to get involved."Ah? You want me to think of it?"Rudeus was surprised, then began to ponder their party's name, hoping it would be Haki and distinct from the common ones.He recalled some memories from his previous life and quickly thought."How about 'Wings of the Devil'?"This name was Haki and set them apart from the crowd.When Ruijerd heard this name, his brows visibly furrowed slightly, clearly disliking it, or more accurately, the 'devil' part.The Spelute were seen as devils in the eyes of the world, so it would be strange if he liked such a name, but it hadn't reached the point of resistance."Whatever!"Eris had no objections and was quite satisfied with the party name "Wings of the Devil.""Alright then, let's go with that!"Rudeus smiled when he saw that neither of them objected."Then please temporarily hand over your Adventurer's Cards to me."The female staff member, seeing that the three had already decided, continued to speak in a calm tone.The three nodded and handed over their Adventurer's Cards.Taking the cards, she walked directly to the back and returned shortly after."Here, please confirm if it's correct."She handed back the three Adventurer's Cards, letting them check for any anomalies.Rudeus and the other two quickly scanned them and found that compared to before, the Adventurer's Cards now only had the party name "Wings of the Devil" added.And it also indicated the lowest rank, F."The registration process is now complete. Thank you all for your hard work.""If you plan to accept a quest, you can take a quest slip from the notice board over there and then proceed to the counter.""As for purchasing items, please go to the back of this building. Please don't get it wrong when the time comes."The female staff member gave the final instructions to everyone."Alright, we understand."Rudeus smiled and nodded in response.With the adventurer registration complete, they prepared to leave the counter and head to the notice board on the left where quest slips were posted, to see what tasks were available."Rudeus, you three go look. I have some things to do."Cid looked at a tall demon figure in the corner of the Adventurers Guild, a slight smile on his lips, and turned to speak to the three."Okay."The three did not ask any questions and continued walking towards the notice board.Cid, on the other hand, walked towards the demon he had just seen.Upon approaching, he directly sat down on a chair in front of the demon, who looked at him with a puzzled expression, maintaining a face-to-face posture.Only a wooden table separated the two.This demon had a gray horse-like face, hands similar to humans, but hooves for feet, much like a horse learning to walk upright, though there was a significant difference between the two.He was a demon, not the same species as a horse at all."Rookie, what do you want?"Nokopara maintained an arrogant posture, looking down at Cid with a condescending gaze, completely like an old-timer adventurer looking at a newcomer.And he wasn't wrong; he had just personally witnessed the other party complete their adventurer registration."You specialize in information. I need your help with something."Cid leaned back in his chair, speaking calmly."Oh? You know me?"Nokopara's face showed surprise. Hearing that the other party wanted his help and remembering that the other party was a newcomer, he couldn't help but think of extorting him."If you want my help, it'll cost a lot of money."Nokopara smiled, his eyes slightly narrowed."I don't have much. Considering you were Roxy's teammate before, I don't want to do anything to you. I advise you not to have any crooked ideas."Cid tossed a money bag onto the table in front of him.Nokopara's expression froze. He wondered if he had misheard earlier. Did he hear Roxy's name from the other party's mouth?"You know Roxy?"Once he regained his composure, he immediately opened his mouth to ask."Roxy is my master."Cid nodded quietly, not intending to hide their relationship."Pfft! I didn't mishear, did I?! Roxy actually has a disciple now?!"Upon receiving a confirmed answer, Nokoparaimmediately burst into loud laughter, clutching his stomach, clearly somewhat disbelieving.The commotion here drew glances from those around, including a pig-headed demon, who, hearing a familiar name, slowly walked over."Hey! Nokopara, what are you guys talking about? How come I heard Roxy's name?"Bureizu swaggered over to Nokopara, who was laughing loudly, and gave him an inquiring look."Bureizu, he said he's Roxy's disciple, do you believe him?!""Huh? You're really Roxy's disciple?"Bureizu showed an incredulous expression, looking at Cid.Cid didn't speak, just nodded slightly."Pfft... Hahaha!"Bureizu, like Nokopara, burst into loud laughter. Based on their memories of Roxy, they simply couldn't believe it.Could someone like her really teach a disciple well?It wasn't that they looked down on Roxy, but in their memories, she was practically like a child; how could she possibly teach a disciple well?Cid frowned, listening to their loud laughter."Can you two be a little quieter?""Sorry, because this is just too funny!"Nokopara didn't stop laughing, nor did he show any apology on his face. His strong, tall gray horse-like body twitched, revealing two rows of teeth as he stifled his laughter.Bureizu was the same. The expression on his pig's head twisted slightly. If he weren't mindful that this was the Adventurers Guild, he wouldn't be stifling it.With his personality, he would surely burst into unrestrained laughter.
