Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

But Lin Yu was very persistent, so Al could only teach him how to break his moves while on the way.

Lin Yu had heard the name of that person from Al's description, Emilia, a beautiful elf woman who was dressed in white and was very kind.

But Lin Yu had no way of knowing things at a deeper level.

They were heading towards the border of the kingdom. Not every place could be considered a city, and not every place would post wanted notices for Al at any time.

The more remote the place, the more serious the disconnection with the kingdom became in the later period.

Lin Yu and Al can now live in the hotel.

After nearly half a month, they finally reached their destination, and the border territory was just ahead.

It's not really a city, just some villages reclaimed from wasteland.

They have to go to the nearest town to buy their daily necessities.

Regardless of which world it is, wealth disparity will always exist, but fortunately, even in remote areas, these people can live without any worries.

"It is there, in that mansion on the top of the hill, the Count's residence, where Emilia lives."

"I heard that the Earl is a good man. Taxes under his rule are very low, and most farmers can get good harvests throughout the year."

"If it's a good year, every household can buy some new clothes and quilts."

Al pointed in a certain direction and showed it to Lin Yu.

"Then this Earl, who sounds like a very nice person, will probably let them walk into his mansion and take someone away generously."

Lin Yu said softly.

Lin Yu was obviously joking. Their relationship had lasted so long that they had reached the point where they could joke around at any time.

However, what Lin Yu said is also an issue that cannot be ignored.

How to meet people and make them cooperate willingly.

They have no connections, no identities, and one of them is even a wanted criminal, so it is difficult to trust them.

No matter how remote this place is, the count only needs to do a little investigation to roughly know the number of lives Al has taken.

“Then I think it probably won’t happen.”

Al shrugged.

"Actually, there's a question I've always wanted to ask, why do we have to find this anchor point?"

Al asked again.

"Because if this world was created by my future self, then it would be impossible for you to kill him here."

"It's not something that can be described as difficult. He can change the environment at any time, and the time and rules can be implemented according to his wishes."

"The only way is to go to him through the anchor point and confront him face to face in the desolate world. Only in this way can we fight fairly."

Lin Yu said softly.

"But it doesn't sound right. If we just fight fairly, we don't seem to be his match."

Al said.

"At that time, we can only leave it to fate."

Lin Yu remained calm.

Al and Lin Yu rested in the hotel for a night. According to the agreed plan, they would go to the Earl's mansion today to meet the woman who Al believed was most likely the anchor.

Lin Yu washed up as usual, and every time he would deliberately look at the mirror, watching his face reflected in it.

Perhaps it was because he saw his future self in it last time, which led to him looking for his future self in it for a long time.

But in half a month, he hadn't seen his future self again.

But today seemed a little different. Lin Yu in the mirror had an unusual look in his eyes. Lin Yu reached out and touched the mirror, and the self in the mirror suddenly reached out and pulled him in.

It was another dreamlike place. The sky and the earth were empty, there were no mountains, rivers or streams. The ground looked like flowing water, but it was not liquid.

“It’s almost like a mirror.”

Lin Yu said softly.

"Pretty much. If you can tear this place apart, you'll get to another place."

A figure stood in front of Lin Yu, that was his future self.

After such a long time, he finally stood in front of Lin Yu.

"Aren't you going to explain something?

Lin Yu asked softly.

"I am you, and if you don't want to believe it, there is no point in what I say."

"Al is your enemy, and I still say that to this day."

"It's the same no matter how many times you ask."

Future Lin Yu shook his head.

"That's good, I will come back to see you in the future, and I will take away everything from you."

"If you have anything to say, now is your only chance."

Lin Yu said with certainty.

"What do you want to hear?"

Lin Yu from the future said.

"The truth, nothing is more important than this. You must tell me everything you've been through here, your difficulties."

Lin Yu gritted his teeth.

"Ah, even if it costs you your life?"

"Well, I look forward to the next time we meet."

Lin Yu of the future suddenly smiled and waved his hand.

Lin Yu's mind suddenly shook, he subconsciously moved his fingers, and found that he had escaped from that environment.

There is no future self in front of you, only a mirror.

Lin Yu washed his face, changed his clothes, and opened the door.

Al was already waiting outside.

The journey to the Earl's residence was long, as most of it was mountain roads that were rugged and difficult to walk on, and a considerable portion of the time was spent asking for directions.

Along the way, you can see large fields and farmers working hard.

Occasionally, children would cast strange looks at them. Al, dressed as a knight, and Lin Yu, dressed in luxurious clothes, looked a bit out of place here.

"Why did you want to escape? According to what you said, you received orders from Priscilla and obeyed the orders of my future self. You can have a lot."

"There is nothing more attractive than a rich and fulfilling life. You can even learn a lot from my future self."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that you are his apprentice. Why do you reject such a path?"

While walking on the road, Lin Yu suddenly talked about this matter.

In half a month, Al explained a lot of things to Lin Yu. Lin Yu might not believe it, but he would keep it in mind.

The journey was a bit long now, so they could only chat and entertain themselves while walking.

"I know you've been on guard against me and you don't trust me."

"About this time I'm going to give a vague answer, and your trust in me will decrease further."

“So I choose not to answer that question.”

"If you want to know, ask me next time."

Al said softly.

"You are more vigilant than I thought."

Lin Yu was slightly startled.

Before we knew it, we finally arrived at the Earl's mansion.

There were no servants coming and going in this mansion, and it was not luxurious. It had fallen into disrepair and looked very dilapidated. Compared to the places where Priscilla lived, it was completely different in level.

But this does not mean that the owner of this mansion is incorruptible and dedicated to serving the people.

Lin Yu saw two maids in the mansion. They were beautiful and it was easy to tell that they were sisters.

They look similar, except for their hair color, and they may also have some differences in personality.

There were no guards at the door of the mansion, so Al and Lin Yu were not stopped when they came in. They easily pushed open the door of the mansion.

Of course, even if the door cannot be opened, Lin Yu and Al will probably think of other ways to enter.

"who are you?"

The two maids standing in the mansion suddenly tensed up when they saw someone coming in.

They hadn't seen a stranger for a long time, and the clothes Lin Yu and Al were wearing obviously didn't look like those of locals.

"Looking for Emilia."

Al spoke up.

"I'm Ram, and the one standing next to me is my sister Rem. We are sisters."

"Please listen carefully to my question. I am asking who you are, not what you are here for."

Ram's attitude was tough.

She was originally washing clothes. She wiped her hands with a cold look.

The reason is actually very simple. Putting aside the identities of these two people, one of them even had a weapon on his waist.

"Well, you're talking about such a sensitive topic right off the bat?"

Al shrugged.

Of course, it was difficult for him to answer about his identity, after all, he was a wanted criminal now.

"But this is Priscilla's husband. You may not know him very well, but if he is the owner of this mansion, you will probably know who Priscilla is."

Al said again.

"Be ready for battle."

Al spoke in Lin Yu's ear.

Al's hands were already on his waist.

Ram actually didn't want to let them in, but the other party didn't seem to be honest. Ram saw with his own eyes that this guy was leaning his hand on the weapon.

Ram thought that if he didn't do as he said, a fight would be inevitable.

Ram is not afraid of fighting, but she has no say in this matter.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask Lord Roswaal."

Ram turned around and walked towards the mansion.

In the center of the mansion, only Rem was left facing Lin Yu and Al.

Al greeted Rem with a smile, just like a boy next door would treat a little girl.

But Al didn't have a good-looking face, and he wore a mask and had scars on his body. It was a good reaction for Rem to ignore him.

If it were an ordinary little girl, she would probably be scared and cry on the spot.

Rem always treated Lin Yu and Al as enemies, and she was very vigilant.

Fortunately, Ram came back soon.

"Lord Roswaal invites you."

Ram said softly.

Ram brought Lin Yu and Al to the hall.

The man sitting in the first seat is probably the count here. He looks very thin and has clown-like makeup on his face.

If he wasn't wearing men's clothes, it would be difficult to tell his gender.

"You two take a seat for a while."

Roswaal held out his hand but did not look up.

There were three cups of tea on the table, probably something that had been prepared for them before they came in.

Roswaal lowered his head and looked at some documents and materials.

At first, Lin Yu and Al thought it was official business, but when they looked closer, they found that the information was all related to Al.

To be exact, something similar appeared in Lin Yu's hands not long ago.

"It seems that you two have been waiting for a long time. I wonder why you came to me?"

Roswaal suddenly smiled and looked into Lin Yu and Al's eyes.

"We are here to meet someone, Emilia."

Al said.

"No, no, no, I think you heard it wrong."

"Then I'll say it again, a wanted criminal comes to me, why... for what."

Roswaal repeated the question once more.

"We need Emilia's help with something, and we want to verify if she is the person we are looking for."

"Of course, it won't hurt her, and it won't affect anyone else."

Al took out his purse from his pocket and placed it in front of Roswaal.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. I sincerely admire every border earl who sticks to his post."

Al said again.

Lin Yu didn't expect that a guy like Al would actually show his flattering side.

But Lin Yu doubted whether this amount of money could make a count nod his head.

Roswaal raised his head, glanced at the purse, opened it and saw that it was not filled with gold, but rare crystal.

The things used in magic are much more valuable than gold, and Roswaal can use them himself.

If he has no use for it, he can auction it off, and the price he gets will be irresistible.

It is under such circumstances.

Roswaal gradually put away his previous serious and even somewhat arrogant expression.

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not expect that the thing Al gave was of such high value. Although he was a border earl, this kind of man who had seen a lot of things could not escape his nature.

"Emilia is not here. She is out. But she recently received a letter saying that the emblem of the King's Choice was stolen, so she is still looking for it."

"I probably won't come back until I find it, if you two are willing to wait."

"Then I don't care, but as for food and lodging..."

Roswaal rubbed his hands.

Al raised his eyebrows, and Lin Yu looked at him, probably cursing in his heart that this guy was simply greedy.

But Al looked a little embarrassed, which meant he had no money left.

It was impossible for Lin Yu to bring any money with him when he came out. His expenses since he came to this world were basically paid for by that woman.

He never had any need to spend money.

"Well, after this is over, you will receive a gift from Priscilla's husband."

Lin Yu imitated Priscilla's way of speaking.

And inadvertently revealed his identity.

This might make the Earl change his mind.

At least we should delay the payment until later. Whether we have money or not by then is not important. (End of this chapter)
