Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 463: Already famous, the 'savior' of the archipelago

The nights in Steele were cool.

Alan slept soundly.

The huge rock that had been pressing down on his heart for a long time fell to the ground. There was a trustworthy and beautiful girl who grew up with him by his side to help him keep watch at night. In his arms was the soft Blue mother who snuggled into his arms in the middle of the night out of fear of the cold.

In order to be on guard and take care of each other, everyone slept in the same tent with their clothes on.

Rain, killing, running around, tired. Everyone's smell is not really good, just like a big bunk bed.

Whether it was Aisha who suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and stared at him with her eyes open for a full hour, or Izuluti who waited in front of Alan that night, squatted down and looked at him with her chin in her hands.

Alan was unaware of anything and slept soundly.

The nights in Steele are really cool.

Elina Lijie is also really cool.

How cool is it?

The next day, as soon as Alan opened his eyes, he saw the latter walking in with brisk steps.

He was so radiant that he casually placed a crystal clear magic stone in front of everyone.

"Here, let's change some money for travel expenses."

Elinalize put her hands behind her back and glanced at Allen.

The latter sat up, with the sleepy Roxy hanging on his body. He stared at Elinalize for a long time, but he still didn't prepare himself mentally to reach out to take the magic stone.

This magic stone, in terms of color, luster, and texture, looks completely different from those "old goods" in the abyss.

So fucking fresh.

In the conflict zone, the Kingdom of Gardenia is considered a very ancient country.

It is located in the southern part of the disputed zone, occupying a long and narrow basin, bordering Shillong to the south.

Because the kingdom is far away from the conflict-ridden and war-torn north, the soil there is more fertile than in the northern hilly areas, and the kingdom is more prosperous.

Of course, only relative to other kingdoms.

Like other kingdoms, there are towering walls along the border.

From a distance, one can clearly feel the rules of the city wall. The layout of the buildings is greatly influenced by Asra, and it looks grand and bright. But when Alan and his companions got closer with the crowd, they could still feel the roughness of the bricks and stones, and the mottled patterns of the flowing water on the city wall were obvious.

The city wall is very high, standing under the sky. You need to look up to see the top of the city wall eroded by wind and sand.

Wow, Alan closed the map in his hand.

"Chidi, an important town in northern Gardenia. After half a month of hard work, we finally arrived."

He tightened the tent and some simple pots and pans hanging on his shoulders, then turned to look behind him.

There were many refugees coming from the north as the background in the field of vision. Except for Alan, who was carrying a lot of bags and pulling a cart, the companions were all lightly equipped.

However, half a month had passed, and everyone looked exhausted after camping all the way here. Roxy's hair looked a little greasy, Aisha's gray, worn and ill-fitting maid outfit looked like a sack piled on her body, and the wind was blowing into the holes in Izoloti's clothes that were torn by Obel on her legs.

"Senior Brother, can I help you get some things?" Izuluti noticed Alan's gaze and asked.

Luo Qixi on the side kept nodding.

Allen felt his magic power and fighting spirit fully restored, and replied with a smile: "No need~ You should save some energy, those who are capable should do more work."

He is very conscious of serving his wives.

——All along the way, Alan carried everyone's belongings, set up camp, and even hunted and foraged for food.

Of course, being at your beck and call is just an illusion. Allen did this only out of consideration for efficiency.

that's the truth:
Along the way, Lokixi offered to help many times, but was rejected by Alan for various reasons. Later, after realizing that Alan did everything quickly and well, she could only watch him running around like a follower.

It's quite like the panic of a stupid wife who sees her husband working and wants to help but doesn't know where to start.

Every time this happened, Izuluti would just smile and say nothing, simply indulging Alan in whatever he did.

After all, from the perspective of efficiency, my senior brother can do these things very quickly.

He was never a pampered 'aristocrat'.

And Isaruti also understood that his brother's energetic appearance was not a sign of his old habit of taking on too much, but that he was just trying to speed up his pace so that he could leave the conflict zone quickly:

During this journey, he spent almost every moment he had asking about the capital, Boreas, Asura, and how everyone had been doing over the past two years.

It seemed as if he could not wait to come to the Kingdom of Gardenia to send a letter to everyone to let them know that he was safe.

In addition, she could clearly see that, rather than working alone, her senior brother preferred to watch Luo Qixi's bewildered look and confused expression when he was busy.

Um.
Although she would feel a little envious occasionally, overall, such a harmonious atmosphere was exactly what she was pursuing.

but
It would be nice if I could chat with my senior brother alone. I haven't had a chance to talk to him properly these days.
It was my senior brothers who were asking the questions and I was answering them.

And
Izuluti looked at Allen's face. The other party noticed her gaze and gave her a familiar smile.

"I used to ask Izuruti to do some cleaning work at the Mizugami-ryu Dojo, Dantolis, and you always came to ask me for help, but you stood by and watched me work with a smile. Why, you are not used to it now?"

Isa Luti quickly glanced at Luo Qixi and found that her expression did not change, then shook her head: "That was then."

My senior brother seemed to have changed in appearance, so he was always cautious when communicating with me. He deliberately brought up past memories in his conversation to deepen our familiarity.

There is absolutely no need for this.
A senior brother is still a senior brother, even if his appearance has changed. The way he spoke, his tone, his demeanor, and the familiar sword spirit and water god style on his body all proved that he was Alan Boreas Greyrat.

I am the Water God, how could you not recognize me?
Isaruti looked at Alan with a smile in her eyes.

But this is not bad either.
He didn't just focus on Miss Luo Qixi.

Even if I deliberately leave space for the two of us, he is always paying attention to me.
This cautious look of wanting to do everything perfectly
Still the same as before
Just then, a soft voice interrupted Isaruti's thoughts.

"Aiya! We're finally in town. I can relax a lot. It's still too hard out in the wild."

Beside them, Elina Lijie stretched and smiled at Alan.

Roxy's expression was stunned, and she showed the same horrified expression as in the anime when she looked at Ridgelude with a squint.

And Isaruti's smile became a little awkward.

That's right.

Every three days, grandma would go to the refugees' tents nearby to "forage for food". Once when Alan went to exchange food with them, he even heard the other party's melodious singing.

At that time, even Lokixi, the little tail who followed Alan closely, was stunned.

What’s even more outrageous is that they almost never have a one-on-one opportunity with their grandmother.

It's always one to many.

After Elina Lijie returned, she could see the men who had watched her return from afar had weak legs and were unable to straighten their backs.

Difficult to stretch.

This one is the real jobless succubus.

Alan listened to Elina Lijie's suggestive words, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

".That's really hard for you."

Before he could finish his words, a little head popped out from the side of him. The red-haired Aisha looked at Elinalize with a childish look on her face and grinned.

"Are you tired, Aunt Elina Lijie? Do you want me to massage your shoulders? Woo woo woo!!" Alan was startled, and when Elina Lijie squatted down, he covered Aisha's childish words with his hands!

He picked her up and held her under his armpit, then turned and walked towards the city gate.

Looks like he's already quite skilled.

"Let's go to the city!"

Aisha hung on Alan, her cracked leather shoes swinging back and forth.

She narrowed her eyes, seeming very happy.

Then he looked through Alan's tattered sleeves at Melna who was staring at him not far away.

The latter looked away, smoothed his hair and followed at the end of the team, reaching out to help Lilia support Senis.

Nothing happened.

Because of the months-long war in the northern part of the conflict zone, the Kingdom of Gardenia needs to pay some property as entry tax to enter the city.

Screen at the same time.

The real refugees were basically given food mixed with stones. The soldiers just took a quick look at them, focusing on the calluses on their hands.

——The locations of calluses caused by using farm tools and using swords are completely different.

After that, they would let them go, give them some wheat or rice seeds, show them the way, and lead them to the villages around Qidi Town, where they would be accepted by the local knights.

Anyone with a little bit of strength in the conflict zone would choose to be an adventurer rather than a farmer. The Kingdom of Gardenia, backed by Asura, has a vast territory and a sparse population. They welcome refugees to come into the country to cultivate and open up wasteland. These refugees are excellent laborers and can contribute to the food reserves on the warning line all year round.

However, those who were obviously deserters from the war were prohibited from entering the city.

Even if these people enter the city, they will eventually become "lonely" adventurers that the kingdom does not like, and will not choose to work.

Yes, the Kingdom of Gardenia does not like adventurers. If it weren't for the fact that the Adventurer's Association is backed by Milis and has too much influence, and the kingdom itself has some mazes, the current King of Gardenia, who advocates the governance model of the Kingdom of Asura, does not welcome any adventurers to enter at all.

Moreover, in the conflict zone, the nobles were very worried about the infiltration of spies.

Spies usually enter the country disguised as adventurers.

There is no good way to completely circumvent this, but trying to nip the source in the bud during screening before entering the city is already a huge investment of manpower and resources.

"Get lost! Go back to where you came from!"

A man with a knife wound on his face in front of Alan was kicked away. He was full of resentment and subconsciously wanted to touch the knife, but then he saw the armor on the soldiers and shrank his head, looked at them deeply, turned around and walked away.

The soldiers entering the city watched him leave, spat, and then turned to look at Allen and others.

His eyes flashed with a subtle and sophisticated light.

They had long noticed that something seemed wrong with the combination of these people.

Women and children looked like refugees.

But the problem is
Izoloti, Melna, Senis, Elinalise and others were too eye-catching in appearance, so eye-catching that even if their clothes were not neat, they still stood out from the crowd.

What's more.
They looked at the white-haired man in front of them.

The latter had a narrow waist and a broad back, an upright posture, and a short sword wrapped in rags around his waist. Through the gap, one could vaguely see that the sword was shining with a faint green glow.

It's obvious at first glance that it's an expensive magical tool.

Even though their clothes were ragged, the soldiers, who were low-level and mid-level swordsmen, could feel the oppression from the other side.

They were in a conflict zone, and were used to seeing all kinds of powerful adventurers. They could tell at a glance that
This is a master swordsman. At least at Saint level.
It's very tricky. But fortunately, the other party doesn't look like someone who would act recklessly.

"City entry tax." Alan spread out his palm and gestured to the leader of the soldiers in front of him.

In the palm of his hand were some broken pieces of magic stone.

The leader took a look and didn't answer, but lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

"The city entry tax is not important. It is just a means of identity verification for those entering the city. Would you mind leaving your weapons with us first? We will take care of it after you leave."

Allen narrowed his eyes and smiled, interrupting him. "It's inconvenient, but we are not spies, you can rest assured. Do you know about Asura's great transfer disaster? I am part of the search and rescue team, and I came to the conflict zone to save people."

He pointed to his ragged clothes and said, "It's just that there was a war in the north, so I became like this."

The leader glanced at the strips of cloth on Allen's body, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Major evacuation disaster? Search and rescue team? That was a long time ago."

Alan suddenly turned to look at Isaruti and Elinalize.

"Did you borrow the road from Gardenia?"

The two shook their heads.

"We are heading north through Neklina in the east."

After hearing this, the soldiers reacted greatly. With a loud noise, more than 30 people gathered around, each holding a knife at his side, staring at Allen and his companions.

——The Kingdom of Neklina and the Kingdom of Gardenia have been at odds for generations, and there have been wars and frictions for many years.

Alan looked around at the positions of the soldiers and frowned.

Taking action is the worst option.

Because of the chaos, the schedule for sending the letter has to be postponed again.

He said, pressing the knife.

"Do you normally conduct similar checks if adventurers enter the city?"

The leader who was closest to Allen and clearly felt Allen's deliberate murderous intent broke out in sweat, and he pressed his right hand to signal the soldiers not to draw their swords.

"Generally speaking, adventurers will have a pass issued by the Chidi Association."

Alan tilted his head to look at Elinalize, who had been active as an adventurer, and among these people she was the most likely to have this kind of thing.

The latter just shook his head.

Allen asked, "Generally speaking?"

The leader was silent for a moment, and then continued, "If there are adventurers who have made special contributions and have won the honor of adventurer in the association, there is no need to question them. However, this is because such adventurers are easy to identify. They are famous and will not easily joke about the reputation they have earned."

Having said this, he was suddenly stunned and stopped talking.

He suddenly looked up at Alan!

His eyes roamed over the latter's hair color for a moment, revealing a slightly surprised expression.

"Wait." He lowered his head and looked at the sword at Alan's waist.

——Even though the hilt was wrapped in cloth, the hideous bony shape of the Ghost's Secret Sword was still clearly discernible.

"The green blade and the bone-spur-shaped hilt. Is this. The. Secret Sword?"

Alan didn't answer, but just raised his brows.

Then the soldier leader was heard mumbling.

"White hair, swordsman, secret sword. Could it be that you are the 'savior' of the archipelago?"
