Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 225 Commission
"It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, it is very beautiful."

At this time, He Zhen spotted Lu Chen from the crowd, so he squeezed through the crowd and greeted Lu Chen, saying, "Senior, are you here to watch the fireworks too? What do you think of this idea I proposed? Doesn't it feel a bit like our hometown?"

Lu Chen praised him and said, "Very good, you have indeed changed the world. It seems that you have fallen in love with this place."

"Of course, senior didn't come to watch the beauty pageant I organized this afternoon. It really has the atmosphere of another world. Every time at this time, I feel that this place is actually quite interesting." There was a hint of pride in his words. The other world became better in his hands.

When Kazuma was at home, he was just a shut-in and had never done anything exciting like these.

Chris objected. "What has become of the festival where you were supposed to thank the goddess Eris? How can you hold such an event?"

Kazuma replied as if it was natural, "Everyone's so happy. So, if the goddess isn't stingy, she'll definitely allow me to make changes. And everyone's already discussing holding an event just to thank Aqua next year."

He only knew that Chris was a follower of the goddess Eris, and had no idea that this was the goddess herself who had descended to earth. Otherwise, he would never have said such a thing.

"There won't be another festival to thank Eris next year? So this is the last one." Chris was struck by lightning when she heard this. First, she was accused of being stingy, then she learned such unfortunate news. Her whole dejection darkened.

"It will be held. After I defeat the Demon King, I will use my status as a brave warrior to ask the king to continue holding the event." Lu Chen said to Chris in a reassuring tone.

Anyway, if he defeated the Demon King, he would definitely not marry the princess, so it would be better to make such a request. Maybe he could even get another artifact from Chris.

"Senior, you're so confident. I heard you defeated another leader of the Demon King's army. It seems the Demon King doesn't have many leaders left." Kazuma said as he began to think. Three leaders were killed, and two couldn't be counted on. So, he still had three leaders left?
In reality, it was even less, as Celestina had been entangled by the Axis Cult. She couldn't escape anytime soon, and under constant brainwashing, she seemed to be wavering in her purpose.

Chris sensed something was wrong with Kazuma's words, and after considering what Lu Chen had said earlier, he asked Kazuma, "How do you all know that two of the Demon King's officers have defected?"

Kazuma knew that Lu Chen must have known the identities of Wiz and Vanir, but he couldn't tell anyone about this kind of thing.

So he pretended that this was common knowledge: "Because we have met before, this news is known to many people."

Chris said suspiciously, "Is that so? It seems like you're hiding a lot of information from us. Does Darkness know about this?"

Kazuma was concerned about his answer: "She should know, right?"

Then, I secretly apologized to Wiz in my heart, feeling embarrassed for telling others my identity.

Seeing the serious atmosphere, Lu Chen changed the subject: "This is actually not important at all. I think it's time to defeat the Demon King."

"Is it already this time? I feel like I just got here." Kazuma almost dropped the thing in his hand, he felt very surprised.

This is like going out to fight the tree guard, but ending up meeting the Golden Rule Faradagon.

Lu Chen certainly understood He Zhen's concerns, so he smiled and said, "Of course I won't let you go. I plan to go to the front line of the Royal Capital in a few days to take a look. I don't think you will make any progress if you stay in the Novice Village any longer."

He did not tell anyone that he was going to fight the devil. Why should he let others know about such a thing?

Kazuma also laughed. "A master like you will surely shine on the front lines. I'd rather stay in the safety of the rear. You will definitely defeat the Demon King in the end."

"Of course. Remember to have Aqua prepare the bronze sword. I'll take it away one day."

Kazuma explained, "She hasn't even canceled that joke-like commission yet. I've already told her about it once." As the fireworks ended, the adventurers began to disperse.

Aqua was yelling for Kazuma in the distance. Lu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back quickly. Don't keep your teammates waiting."

"Goodbye, senior."

Chris asked after watching Kazuma walk back towards his three teammates.

"You're not going to invite him to go with you?"

"This is my own adventure, and he has his own journey."

Chris smiled and said, "If I were to go, would you take it with you?"

"Your identity is not suitable, right?"

If the goddess could come down personally to destroy the demon king, she would have done so long ago. Her true form is still very powerful. So there must be limitations.

"I can only help you with this one incarnation, so if your team needs a thief, take me with you. This body's mission has already been fulfilled. Darkness has found her friends."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"I just want to see this disaster end."

"I'll call you when I leave."

"Today's fireworks are very beautiful. I hope next year's will be just as beautiful."

"A heart that never gives up is a good name."

The next day, the local acting lord personally found Lu Chen and made a request in a very kind tone.

"Her Highness Alice has requested an escort. She is engaged to the First Prince of the neighboring country of Elrod. Therefore, I request that you escort her to Elrod. There, they will discuss some very important matters that will be crucial in defeating the Demon King."

Lu Chen shook his head and rejected the commission: "I have my own things to do next, so I can't do this mission. Your Highness can entrust Kazuma to do this mission."

"Dustinis Palace rejected this mission. She believes that her teammates are unreliable."

"Maybe she'll accept it later. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

"Are you ready to leave?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes, I plan to go to the front line to fight. I have been here for a long time."

"May the light of the goddess Eris always shine upon you."

"Thank you, you are a good lord."
