Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

However, after this exam, the holiday arrived as scheduled. To cheer up Sonoko, who was greatly affected by the exam, Miyazaki Yu, along with Ran, Morita Ouran, and Sonoko, took the four of them to Mount Rakuzakura for a trip.

It wasn't until two days later.

"Hello, this must be Mr. Miyazaki's home. I apologize for the intrusion!"

A tall, middle-aged white man stood at the entrance. As Miyazawa Mie opened the door, she felt that he had blocked out the sunlight.

Although the other person was burly, he did not look bulky at all. On the contrary, he had a very upright posture, as if he were a soldier who had just retired.

With light-colored eyes and deep-set sockets, he had the typical features of a Caucasian. He was carrying a dark leather suitcase and was speaking very politely.

"You must be Mr. Orville, right? Please come in!"

The visitor was welcomed in by Miyazawa Mie. Although she tried her best to keep her eyes straight ahead and not look at the surrounding furnishings, her eyes couldn't help but wander around.

"Is this Miyazaki Sword Saint's home? It's hard to imagine that he already possesses the most powerful force in the world, which is equivalent to possessing the strongest power. Moreover, the foundation of his power comes from his military strength, which is also the most stable power in the world."

I never imagined that such a person would live in such a simple place!

However, it immediately occurred to him that Japan and the United States were currently building a palace for this sword saint, a fact that was not a secret among the high-ranking officials of various countries.

Thinking about this, I felt relieved.

The two walked up the wooden steps to the second floor and arrived at the door of Miyazaki Yu's quiet room. At this moment, the door opened automatically, as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything.

At this moment, a young man dressed in loose robes was sitting cross-legged with his back to him. Sitting cross-legged is not unusual, but what is unusual is that his body is detached from the ground, just like a maglev train, suspended above the ground.

At this moment, the other party did not exude any aura; he was just like an ordinary young man, sitting cross-legged there.

But the moment I saw the other person, every cell in my body seemed to be screaming in agony.

This feeling was not his imagination, but something that had actually happened. He had experienced this before when he was young, when he faced his father in a commanding manner.

He later realized that it wasn't just the pressure from the difference in strength, but the pressure from a difference in the level of life.

Just like a rabbit, no matter how brave it is, it would never even consider challenging a lion or a tiger, because the huge gap in life makes rabbits know that challenging a tiger will definitely not end well.

The feeling at that moment was like a rabbit seeing the back of a tiger; the sudden shock and terror were indescribable.

“Mr. Orville, you came to see me through official channels, submitting an application to the Japanese government, claiming to be visiting me as a martial artist. However, the moment you entered the door, I knew that you were not an ordinary martial artist, but a member of the Royal Knights of the British Empire!”

"This is quite interesting. Your strength is impressive; the intensity of your aura is similar to that of the Royal Knights leader I defeated in America, though you should be even stronger. Do you wish to challenge me?"

Chapter 679 Deals and Conditions

A chilling, utterly terrifying sensation shot through Orville from his feet to his head, leaving him practically petrified.

I was truly awestruck by the sheer magnitude of her life. She was like the first ape in ancient times to gaze at the stars and witness the vastness of the universe, marveling at the immensity and grandeur of the sky.

But suddenly, all her secrets were exposed, and a feeling of being transparent swept over her entire body.

"You're surprised? Actually, you don't need to be so shocked. In my eyes, the strength of life is like a fire in the dark night. Ordinary people are like tiny sparks in my eyes, with only extremely weak light."

Stronger martial artists have stronger vitality, but they are still like small candles, only able to illuminate a small area. Above them are those who have surpassed ordinary people and entered the realm of the extraordinary; these are the ones who deserve to be called strong.

However, for me, its strength is only very limited. It can only be considered a small torch. The area it illuminates has changed significantly, but it is still far from being a truly bright and scorching light.

Miyazaki Yu didn't continue, but that was enough for Orville. Before he even stepped into the room, he was already soaked in sweat.

"Mars, candlelight, and candles? I was born with the purest bloodline power, and from the time I was old enough to understand, I learned all sorts of combat techniques."

From hand-to-hand combat, jiu-jitsu wrestling, to equestrian skills that knights need to master, I have never been inferior to anyone, and I have always been one of the best among martial artists!

I made great strides forward, earning the title of a formal knight at the age of fifteen and becoming the Earth Knight at twenty-five. This record is even comparable to that of Sir Ryan, the most outstanding royal knight in history!

But even someone like me, when faced with such a magnificent being, is but a tiny torch. And what is this being? Is it moonlight and stars, or the blazing sun?

"Oville, the Earth Knight of the Royal Knights, greets Miyazaki Sword Saint!"

As he spoke, he performed a standard knightly salute to Miyazaki Yu, just as he would when meeting the Queen.

However, he didn't dare to perform the hand-kissing greeting, as this custom might not be familiar to many Easterners, so they naturally wouldn't dare to do it casually.

"Honesty towards the strong is the foundation of respect, and thoughtful manners are the beginning of communication. However, I am very curious that the Royal Knights were once my enemies, although I do not know what those people meant to the Royal Knights."

But clearly, their deaths should be a heavy blow to you. In other words, regardless of the circumstances or motives, the hatred between me and the Royal Knights runs deep.

If you were sending someone to assassinate me, I could understand. But if it's a formal meeting, and you're being secretive about it, yet you've sent a powerful figure to be frank with me, that's rather strange to me.

Orville smiled bitterly to himself. This clash with the Royal Knights was not just a heavy blow, it was a devastating one!

The sacred bloodline, accumulated over thousands of years, was almost completely destroyed in this battle, and the sacred bloodline is now on the verge of collapse.

Just like a thatched hut about to collapse, it can be completely destroyed with just a gentle push from a finger!

"Your Excellency Sword Saint is joking. Your Excellency Sword Saint is a god of unparalleled divine power, a true god reincarnated on earth. Our country has absolutely no resentment towards Your Excellency Sword Saint, only endless awe and worship."

You may not know this, but young people in our country now regard you as their greatest idol. Some of them have even started learning Eastern swordsmanship because of this, and some even worship you alongside Jesus.

"Cough cough!"

Such astonishing flattery coming from the mouth of a burly, middle-aged white man feels incredibly incongruous.

And what were those British thinking, putting him on the same page as Jesus for worship? Did they want him to be nailed to the cross as well?

"Alright, Mr. Orville, I understand Great Britain's stance. I don't want to pursue those matters further. Whether Great Britain wanted to be an opportunist or had some other reason, it doesn't matter to me."

As long as your country doesn't continue to cause me trouble, I have no interest in traveling thousands of miles to seek revenge on you. So you can go back and tell your prime minister or your queen that I will not pursue this any further.

"this,,,"

He came here seeking cooperation, not to ask for the other party's forgiveness. If he couldn't get their support, his trip would have been in vain.

He immediately said anxiously, "Sword Saint, please let me finish speaking. I have something important to discuss with you. Please listen to me."

"You insist on listening to the whole thing? Although I agreed to meet with you because it's a government-related matter, that doesn't mean you can make demands of me!"

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, revealing his aura, a terrifying killing intent swept over him, like a bucket of cold water, instantly making Orville feel what it meant to be chilled to the bone and his heart soar.

If all the cells in your body could make a sound, they would all be shouting for you to run!

But in reality, he was like a girl who had encountered a ferocious beast; he wanted to run, but his legs suddenly wouldn't obey him and he couldn't move an inch.

"No, no, no, Your Excellency, please calm down. I have absolutely no intention of making any demands on you. This is a request, a most sincere request from me on behalf of the British Royal Family!"

Seeing that he had enough, Miyazaki Yu instantly withdrew his killing intent. His current killing intent could induce fear in every cell of a person's body, and could even render a powerful expert unable to fight instantly.

He had only been testing the waters a little, and he could already tell that the other party had come all this way to see him not because of anything like reconciliation, since he had already proven with his actions that he had no intention of retaliating against other countries.

Both the British Empire and the Papacy breathed a sigh of relief.

If the other party is now taking the initiative to contact me, it means that they clearly have ulterior motives.

After receiving permission, Orville finally breathed a sigh of relief. By then, his clothes were completely soaked. In just that short time, he had sweated far more than he had sweated in a whole morning while wearing heavy armor and running around on the training ground.

Without further hesitation, he recounted the royal secrets to Miyazaki Yu.

Although he embellished some of the events to varying degrees, the basic facts are completely consistent with the Queen's previous account and the publicly available records of the Royal Family.

After listening, Miyazaki Yu was also somewhat shocked.

"It's unbelievable that the British royal family has such a history, and it's also unbelievable that the royal family would face such a predicament because of a battle."

He had a general idea of ​​why the British royal family had sent Orville to find him, and since Orville had come, he must have some offer that was enough to entice him. He just didn't know what that offer was.

Chapter 680 Radioactive Source Stone (2nd Update!)

"I apologize for making this sound so embarrassing, Your Excellency Sword Saint. It is indeed the truth. It was because of the Prime Minister's shortsighted actions that I took this action. Your Excellency Sword Saint, your divine might is unparalleled. The mere Royal Knights are like eggs hitting rocks in the face of your sword!"

People always have to bow to reality.

Lord Orville, who was usually very aloof and even somewhat taciturn, was now speaking eloquently and incessantly.

There's nothing we can do about it.

In fact, if there had been any other option, the Queen would not have sent him out to make this kind of deal.

Even the Queen had a preconceived notion of him, thinking he was taciturn and not good with words.

However, in reality, people's lack of proficiency in certain things is sometimes due to innate talent, but other times it is due to personal choice.

The so-called "lack of eloquence" is actually a self-perception.

Like Orville, he was proud from childhood to adulthood, surrounded by people flattering him and listening to their compliments.

At that time, he was arrogant, looking down on those sycophants with disdain.

But now, he suddenly understood them; they weren't flattering him!

Yes, this is not flattery, but a way of life, a kind of open-mindedness and flexibility!

That's right, how can this be considered flattery?

Once a person understands this, their bottom line becomes more flexible, their mental burden lightens, and their speech becomes more fluent.

He shifted all the blame to the prime minister, saying that it was the prime minister who gave the orders.

The Queen was initially firmly opposed to such an action, because these knights of the Royal Knights were the last vestige of the royal family's wealth, and how could they be used for gambling?

It was all that prime minister who used his power to force the queen to agree to his proposal. This was all a conspiracy to weaken the royal family, and had nothing to do with the royal family itself.

These words sounded absolutely hilarious to Miyazaki Hayao.

He didn't even need to listen to any of this; just by considering the power model, he knew that if the royal family wanted to maintain a balance, it would never accept such an arrangement under duress.

However, this meant nothing to him, so he just smiled and waved his hand.

“Mr. Orville, I understand many things now, and I can roughly guess your demands. However, this is an internal matter of your British Empire. I have just escaped the quagmire of America and do not want to fall into a new one.”

To shatter this guy's illusions, he made his point clear from the start.

There is never a free lunch in this world, nor is there any unconditional help. If there is, it's either because the person is a saint or has ulterior motives.

Every gift bestowed by fate has a price tag attached in secret, and every gift given by people has a price tag attached in secret.

Miyazaki Yu is certainly not a saint, and he also has a grudge against Great Britain. Even if there is no grudge, he doesn't have any good feelings towards this old-fashioned rogue country.

And don't be fooled by his current imposing presence and seemingly unrestrained power.

However, in reality, he obtained his current status by challenging the world's strongest nation. In other words, his current status is a privilege obtained by stepping on the world's rules.

Getting involved in the British affair now would be tantamount to once again provoking the sensitive nerves of countries around the world.

Never underestimate a great power, and never take what you once relied on for granted.
