After dealing with Charon, Xie Bai casually patted him a few times.

"Phew, this skill feels pretty useful; I don't need to stack my base stats."

As she spoke, she glanced at the crack next to her a few times.

"Judging from this recovery speed, it should be fully recovered in just a few days."

While the attack was indeed terrifying for the entire Shadow World, it was far from fatal.

Faced with the entire shadow world, the pain only lasts a few days before full recovery.

At least that's what she thinks.

Having confirmed that Charon had no backup plan, Xie Bai once again opened a spatial rift and returned to the palace he had just been in.

As soon as she landed, she saw Brandon and the Imperial Guard waiting for her.

"What are you doing here?"

Xie Bai glanced at the Imperial Guards beside him a few times.

"Wait, you're not dead yet?"

Having just received so much power from the Imperial Guards, Xie Bai originally thought that after they burned through this battle, they would overdraw their life force and die directly.

But now the other person is standing in front of her perfectly unharmed.

Could it be that she ended the battle too quickly, without giving the opponent time to burn their life force?

In response to Xie Bai's question, the imperial guard bowed and said to her.

"My lord, thank you for your help. It must be because of your intervention that the being who granted me power has just withdrawn it. In short, I should be spared from death."

As he spoke, the Imperial Guard took out a badge.

"I have nothing to repay you with except this. It's a medal of honor I earned years ago when I fought on the battlefield. It bears the Emperor's blessing. If you don't mind, please accept this as your reward."

After saying that, the badge floated automatically into Xie Bai's hand.

The Sword of Roland

"What...is this for?"

Xie Bai was not actually interested in the rewards offered by the Imperial Guards.

Or rather, she never intended to ask for anything in return.

But seeing the resolute expression on the Imperial Guard's face, Xie Bai finally accepted it.

Perhaps it would be nice to keep it as a souvenir.

Unfortunately, she probably can't take the things from the timeline with her.

After putting it in his backpack, Xie Bai looked at Brandon beside him.

"By the way, Brandon, weren't you wanted? What are you doing here?"

In response to Xie Bai's question, Brandon proudly patted the Imperial Guard.

"Let me tell you, just a moment ago, I chatted with Maurice, and we found out we're quite like-minded..."

The Imperial Guard suddenly grabbed Brandon's arm.

"Brandon, while I believe your claim that the Emperor is bewitched by an evil god, you should leave now. As for your two friends, I'll see if I can find a way to get them out of the dungeon."

Brandon shook his head at Maurice's advice.

"I appreciate your kindness. But I don't think my two brothers are that weak. They probably haven't been captured yet, so there's still time."

Upon hearing this, Maurice hesitated for a moment.

"Good luck then. Hopefully, we won't meet in the dungeon the next day."

After saying that, Maurice left.

Xie Bai, watching all this from the side, had a rather interesting expression on his face.

"Tsk, letting you go so easily, that's quite impressive."

She really hadn't expected Brandon to be so socially adept.

In just a short while, they managed to win over that imperial guard who had dared to risk his life for the emperor to their side.

I feel like if we let him go out and explore, he'd probably be able to hide a book in the belly of a fish.

"But I've never heard this guy mention his friends before. Is it because immortals live for so long?"

Xie Bai could only guess this much about the problem.

"Never mind. But speaking of which, how are you going to find your two brothers?"

Brandon was taken aback when Xie Bai asked him the question.

"Uh... I haven't thought about that yet."

"Huh?"

This time, it was Xie Bai's turn to be stunned.

Brandon then added.

"But Vero and I have a pretty good understanding. If they realize something's wrong and try to escape, they'll probably run in my direction."

Xie Bai rubbed his forehead.

"Where did this law come from...?"

That said, was Brandon really that unreliable when he was young?

He felt completely different from the person I had met before.

Just as Xie Bai was starting to think that Brandon was unreliable, a shout suddenly came from afar.

"We've really hit the jackpot this time! How did we get caught by that evil god right at the start? Hurry! My gut feeling tells me we won't run into the Imperial Guards if we go this way!"

"Wait a minute, Vero, I can run by myself, you don't need to drag me! Also, let's not be so afraid of it, okay? It's just a mollusk, it's unlikely to be an evil god..."

"What kind of mollusk can recite all the information about your ancestors for eight generations?! It can even read the love letters I burned when I was a child! This is too eerie!"

Two figures suddenly ran out from around the corner.

Brandon looked at the figure that appeared and said with some surprise:

"Velo? And Lai..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other person collided directly with Brandon.

"Bang!"

After gaining his footing, Vero looked over.

"Hiss... Who's standing here... Hmm? Brandon? What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be attracting attention outside?"

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on Xie Bai.

"Gulp..."

His gaze lingered for less than half a second before he quickly looked away and turned to Brandon.

"Brandon, your brother's doing head-grabbing work in there, and you've found such a cute girl out there?"

As he spoke, he moved closer.

"Are you an adult? Are you even human? Do you have any sisters or anything like that?"

"Bang!"

Brandon knocked him back.

"What are you saying! This is the reinforcement I found for you! We're now wanted by the authorities, so get out of here quickly!"

"Huh? We're wanted by the police? When?"

When asked by Vero, Brandon scratched his head.

"Well, things are a bit complicated, it's just..."

While Brandon was still explaining to Willow, Xie Bai took a good look at the two brothers he was talking about.

Verlo.

She had short white hair, delicate features, and a slightly youthful appearance.

He has a very elegant aristocratic air about him, but he's dressed in all adventure gear, which makes him look cheap.

If nothing unexpected happens, he is that traveler.

The other one appeared much more mature.

With waist-length blond hair and a tall, slender figure, he must be the alchemist.

His expression was always one of utter exhaustion, like he was about to die. I don't know what he did to be so tired.

Xie Bai then checked the alchemist's profile and found that only the name and profession were available for viewing.

"Rheindorf..."

Wow, what an impressive name.

Why haven't I heard Brandon mention these names before...?

wrong.

Xie Bai examined it again.

She has waist-length blond hair and works as an alchemist...

It seems to match.

Considering that Brandon also has "atheists"...

"Wait, if that's the case..."

Xie Bai looked at Vero beside him.

"Tsk... This place really is a gathering of heroes."

That makes sense in many places.

I just don't know what happened in the middle.

Xie Bai's gaze was drawn to Brandon's side, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Rheindorf's side.

He stared at Xie Bai's figure, his heart filled with shock.

"Why does this person also possess the power of the void?"
