Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

"Little one, do you know who I am...?"

"Of course I know, but that's precisely why I'm refusing."

Despite his foul mouth, I inexplicably admire the Sword God Lao Deng.

And this old water goddess woman before us...

The king hates her!

If it weren't for the need to maintain this new persona, they would have already used even harsher language to hurl insults.

"Can you tell me why?"

If you think about it carefully, there are actually many reasons, right?

But there are only two key reasons.

"Because I hate you, and you're weak. Lord Gar is much stronger than you."

As the king spoke arrogantly, Sword God Old Deng's face... turned red...

But before the old woman could react, what was that called again? I forgot...

Let's call it Blue Rose for now, anyway, it's just Blue Rose breathing on it!

"My grandma is the water goddess! And the strongest swordswoman!"

As a result, Nina, who had just been hugging her and acting like best friends, suddenly started breathing on her.

"You're talking nonsense! If you were truly knowledgeable, you'd know that the strongest swordsman right now, one of the seven great powers—is my father!"

"The Seven Great Powers? Who? You?"

"He's my father! Sword God! What are you talking about if you don't even know the Seven Great Powers?"

"Hmph, you think you're powerful just because you know about the Seven Great Powers? My grandma could definitely beat your dad!"

"My dad can take down your grandma in a heartbeat!"

"Instant hair loss!"

"Instant kill!"

"My grandma could kill 20 of your dads with one sword!"

"My dad doesn't even have to use his hands to hit your grandma!"

"Your father knelt down and surrendered as soon as he saw my grandmother!"

"My dad could kick your grandma to death with one kick!"

"My grandma could smash your dad's QQ account with a single finger!"

"My dad ate your grandma in one bite!"

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

"Coo coo coo!"

The sea breeze carried their argument to everyone.

Primary school students arguing...it's terrifying!

I never expected this!

Even the demure blue roses can be so noisy!

Perhaps it should be said that everyone is actually quite enthusiastic about comparing combat strength.

If they just keep arguing like this, they could probably argue for half a day, and Wang would be happy to watch with great interest for a long time.

Unfortunately, it was stopped by the two parties involved...

Old Deng's face was burning red, but he forced himself to keep a straight face, looking like he was both crying and laughing at the same time, which was really damn ugly.

He pulled Nina and me towards a secluded place.

I don't know if he was shy because Nina was biased towards him, or because the argument earlier was too embarrassing...

The Water God's old woman followed behind, while Blue Rose didn't need to hold hands; she followed behind with her arms crossed, pouting.

She must be angry, right?

A friend you just made, who was all smiles and comforting you one minute, can turn on you the next...

But the silence was broken by the old woman.

"You just said you hate me, can you tell me why?"

As the old woman asked her question, although the group didn't turn around, it was clear that they also wanted to know the answer.

As for... the reason?

Putting aside emotional biases, there are quite a few reasons.

"Are you sure? That can be a very harsh thing to say."

"Anyway, there aren't many people left here, are there?"

"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's talk about it then."

The first water god – Ledar.

Legend has it that he used magic to freeze the entire sea surface instantly, and used the same magic to seal the movements of the Sea Dragon King, who was resistant to water magic.

When the Sea King Dragon finally broke free, it was covered in wounds.

Enraged, it charged at Ledar.

Then, with a worn-out sword, Reddar parried the Sea King Dragon's fatal attack, and in his subsequent counterattack, he severed the Sea King Dragon's head with a single stroke.

The swordsmanship he used created the Water God Style.

He simultaneously uses god-level swordsmanship and god-level magic.

If we're talking about the strongest human, then without a doubt it's him.

To be honest, I really long for it too.

That heroic figure who stands before others when danger strikes, using great strength and wisdom to cut off all threats.

What I hate is not the technique of the Water God style, but the current Water God style.

The current Water God only knows three secret techniques, and his magic is utterly nonsensical. How dare he call himself the Water God?

So what if you create a new ultimate technique?

He can't even beat the Sword God, can he?

Have they even completely forgotten the original intention of the first water god to stand in front of everyone and protect them?

Inheriting that title and name is nothing more than tarnishing that name.

Ultimately, the current Water God School is nothing more than a domesticated dog.

Does he really think he's some kind of noble knight?

"That sword you're holding looks really impressive, but can something like that make you the strongest?"

"You...hate nobles that much?"

"You really like nobles that much?"

"..."

"You know perfectly well what the nobles of the capital are like!"

I heard that your Water God School also teaches chivalry?

There are many nice-sounding things about that kind of thing, but in the end, isn't the most important thing training dogs?

We treat you like dogs, keeping you in captivity with the so-called loyalty we have, and you're actually proud of it?

"Aren't you ashamed?"

"..."

After he finished speaking, the surroundings became eerily quiet, and the people around him didn't dare to breathe.

But I couldn't care less what she thought and left on my own.

As he walked, Wang was reflecting on his earlier remarks.

This is irrational. A more efficient and intelligent approach would be to build a good relationship with her and then learn some of the true skills of the Water God Style from her.

but.......

I hate her!

I simply hate her!

If you say just a few more words, you'll feel like you could grind her to dust!

Even I don't know the reason...

never mind......

That's it...

There are many more tasks ahead.

I don't have the energy to waste on that old woman!

[Some time later - Eileen's tent]

"Brother is so amazing!"

"Yes! Thank you for the compliment, Sherry!"

Even a king would feel pleased to be praised so lavishly by children!

"But you're really bullying people! You bullied that young girl like that..."

As she spoke, Eileen tapped the king's helmet.

"I'll be more careful next time..."

The oil lamp inside the tent cast a warm yellow glow on the fabric.

The parchment was spread out on the low table, covered with dense lines and symbols, its edges curled up by the wind and then weighed down by something.

Wang sat down and started chatting with Eileen.

"That's the Water Goddess, why did you refuse her?"

"With your abilities, why don't you go to the Kingdom of Asura and become a researcher?"

"I see... I'm sorry, I think I understand."

"Yes, I understand."

"Can I still ask you for help?"

"I couldn't have gotten it."

And so, I, under the name "Jacks Magis", successfully infiltrated the research team of the expedition.

The team leader is her mentor, an older scholar, who is usually responsible for overall coordination and task distribution.

Eileen is in charge of data analysis and magical item production. She does a lot of the detailed work and is one of the main research forces of the team.

I was her assistant, helping her to efficiently put those ideas into practice.

As for the others...

Just follow instructions.

Over the next few days, Eileen led me to various sampling sites, and I followed behind her to help and learn along the way.

She and Sulli had a good relationship.

They are able to express their love to each other without reservation.

During breaks, she would hold Shirley by the campfire and tell her the names of the stars.

Eileen would point to the night sky and ask, "What's that one called?" Sherry would recall her knowledge and answer, not caring if she got it wrong. Eileen would just smile and pat Sherry's head.

As I watched from the side, I recalled the image of little Aisha sleeping in my arms, and the image of Senis kneading dough and humming a song in the kitchen of Buena Village.

Ugh......

How wonderful...

Once, Shirley picked a wildflower next to the campsite and ran over to hand it to me.

She said, "Here you are, Brother Jacks."

The flower petals were white, and the stamens were yellow.

I took it and said thank you.

Then Eileen called her to go eat, and she turned and ran away, her braids swinging in the wind.

I carefully tucked the flower into my notebook and kept it safe.

There's nothing I can do; I'm just a very sentimental person, and I want to keep all the gifts I receive, no matter what they are...

These days are actually quite nice. Being with a group of civilized people who have brains, polite language has returned, and elegant temperament has returned. I don't have to exchange insults with Old Deng, nor do I have to pat Nina's head and throw shots.

Wang felt happy about this kind of life.

But......

This joy didn't last long...

One night, Nina came over looking for trouble again! She even dragged her best friend along!

Why?

Why do you have to come looking for trouble?

The king is about to break through the defenses!

"What's wrong with you all?!"

The words had barely left his mouth when they startled the two girls!

For some reason, the Dragon King stopped making a crooked mouth, and Little Rose started shaking her leg.

"I...I...I...I want to learn...swordsmanship from you..."

"ha?"
