I want to be a faded person for life

Dolan is of no use for the time being...

"Wait--"

Xiangzi shook the soul-summoning bell to send Doran back, who was about to say something, and summoned Kulala again. The soul jellyfish was not injured at all in the previous battle, it just temporarily spit out all the venom.

However, Xiangzi summoned her this time not to fight or spit poisonous mist.

"What's wrong, my king?"

A little girl with a transparent jellyfish cap on her head floated in front of Xiangzi.

"Kulala, can you carry me and fly straight up?"

"Eh?"

Chapter 39 I can't stand it

Xiangzi sat on the translucent umbrella of the jellyfish girl and slowly climbed up the city wall.

"Wang, you are so heavy."

Xiangzi blushed, but he didn't dare move to avoid bringing greater burden to the other party.

"...It shouldn't be that heavy."

She thought she had a standard figure, even a little petite, and she shouldn't be very heavy even when wearing armor.

However, even though he knew that this was the fact, Xiangzi still felt frustrated when a young girl said that it was "very heavy".

——I’m going to block you.

There was no way I could say such words.

"Okay, that's it."

Xiangzi was placed on the city wall. Kulala didn't stop, shook her tentacles and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"You really should control your weight..."

"..."

Xiangzi pinched his face and stomach. Although they were soft, there was no excess fat.

It shouldn't be.

It was obvious that I had very little to eat at the border area, and I only had a proper meal once every two days on average.

Even though I finally saw normal food in the Round Table Hall recently and couldn't help but eat some more, I should have controlled my intake within the normal range.

"Could it be that the Holy Grail Dettol is actually high in calories... I'll just have to reduce my food intake from now on."

Xiangzi replaced the gauntlets he had taken off with Roger's silk gloves. Although the gauntlets were sturdy, they could sometimes cause some trouble. If he replaced them with gloves, he would no longer scratch Mortis.

The sound of weapons clashing approached.

In the passage of the city wall, several flying subspecies were attacking two Grek soldiers who were holding large shields and spears.

The two soldiers stood back to back, each guarding a direction on the city wall passage. It seemed that they could hold on for a while.

But this brief stalemate ended because the demihumans in the air became bored and raised their crude crossbows to fire dozens of arrows with long feathers.

The large shield, which was almost as high as the body, was difficult to lift to the height above the head. One of the soldiers reacted quickly and squatted down in time, tilting the shield to cover his entire body, but the other soldier was not so lucky.

Dozens of arrows were shot into his helmet, but more hit his face and neck.

The soldier twitched a few times and then fell on his back on the ground. The hybrids rushed over and rode all over him, stabbing him with their daggers.

The soldier's exposed hands and feet tensed up, and after slapping and kicking violently a few times, he stopped moving.

The soldier with only one left could not hold on for much longer, as the hybrids had already begun to snatch his shield and weapon.

Xiangzi, who had just arrived at this time, first targeted the enemy who posed the greatest threat.

Those two hybrids shooting bows and arrows in the air, I don’t know what weapons they used, but they could actually shoot more than a dozen arrows in a row.

A blue-green arc streaked through the air, slashing the two hybrids down side by side.

Xiangzi held the hound's tusk upside down and strode forward. The blade wrapped in magical fluorescence cut through the hybrids like butter, and together with the daggers and shields in their hands, he cut the hybrids into pieces of meat.

Roger's gloves did have a remarkable bonus effect, and Xiangzi felt that the weapon in his hand was lighter than usual.

"Where is your lord?"

The soldier whose shield was taken away was also seriously injured at this time. Several daggers were stabbed into his legs that were not covered by the armor. He grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and tried to pull out the blade stuck in the bone.

"...on top of the tower over there."

Xiangzi gained the trust of the injured soldier with his modified Lost Home Knight armor.

The girl glanced at the soldier lying on the side. The arrow made of eagle feathers shot him into a hedgehog, and there were dozens of blood holes scattered on his mail armor.

There is no hope.

"Stay where you are or follow."

She determined this fact at a glance and headed to the top of the tower without looking back.

The injured soldiers finally pulled out all the daggers on their bodies and stuffed something into their mouths. Perhaps these soldiers also had some means to quickly heal their injuries.

He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but had no intention of following. He just picked up his weapon and continued to look for other hybrids on the city wall.

There are still sounds of fighting ahead.

Arrow shields were set up on the stairs leading up to the tower, and several soldiers were taking advantage of the favorable terrain to block the hybrids who were trying to attack the top of the tower.

One of the hybrids was exceptionally large, probably over two meters tall, holding a long-handled black battle axe in both hands.

It has no wings, but instead has fur covering its entire body and a long tail.

Apart from the face, it is hard to associate this appearance with a human.

On the narrow stairs, this long-handled weapon would not be able to exert its original power because it was blocked by the wall. In addition, with arrows blocking the sneak attack of bows and crossbows, the hybrids and the soldiers were in a stalemate.

Noticing Xiangzi behind him, the giant hybrid quickly gave up its original target and rushed straight towards her.

"You're targeting me?"

Xiangzi swung the hound's tusk to block the axe handle, and the two weapons collided, sending out dazzling sparks.

The power of the axe handle was obviously not as strong as the heavy axe blade. Xiangzi flipped the blade to relieve the force and smashed it into the ground of the city wall. The hybrid tried to pull back the weapon, but was kicked by the girl who suddenly raised her right leg and staggered.

Before the hybrid could regain its balance, the curved, upward-pointing blade of the hound's tusk had already pierced its chest, creating an unstoppable bloody hole.

The dying hybrid stretched out his big hand and tried to crush the girl's helmet, but as soon as he loosened his grip, his right hand and wrist fell to the ground.

Even when facing an opponent whose strength is comparable to that of an ordinary knight, Xiangzi now only needs to use one or two more swords. Even without using magic and combat skills, the two are not opponents of the same level.

With the death of the giant axe-wielding hybrid, the ordinary hybrids that were originally attacking the top of the tower were instead surrounded.

Two that tried to flap their wings and fly away were shot down by magic, and the others were forced back to the city wall by soldiers with spears and nailed to the ground.

No soldier dared to stop the female knight who suddenly appeared in Moren City. They took the initiative to make way for the stairs leading to the top of the tower, and even considerately moved away the eagle shield blocking the way.

Xiangzi nodded, walked up the stairs under the gaze of the soldiers, and finally met the lord of More City at the top of the tower.

The Lost Home Knight in bright silver armor and a gray-blue cloak sat on a tattered bench, with several wooden boxes of various sizes piled around him.

His dusty blond hair had been dyed a gray-brown, and a dirty beard tangled in a mess on his face.

The soldiers were all fighting, but the lord with the most powerful knights was just sitting on top of the tower?

Xiangzi has never had a good impression of men with such a disheveled look on their faces, whether it was the down-and-out knight in the dilapidated house or the drunken bastard father.

This kind of self-giving and unkempt appearance after falling into despair is really unbearable to watch.

Chapter 40: The Chapolitan Disaster

"Are you the lord of Moren City?"

Xiangzi stopped in front of the knight.

"...Oh, I haven't seen you."

The impoverished lord noticed Xiangzi's arrival and raised his eyes slightly.

"I am Edgar, and I am here to defend the city of Morn under the orders of Lord Greg."

"I wonder what is the matter with this gentleman's visit?"

Xiangzi glanced at the city of Moren, which was emitting thick smoke under the city wall, and directly explained his purpose.

"Something has happened in Stonewell, and the danger is likely to spread to the entire Nimgerfu. My original intention in coming to Morn City this time was to ask for your help..."

Hearing this, Edgar gave two bitter dry laughs.

"But you've seen my current predicament. All the servants have rebelled. I thought they would just do their job, but it turns out they were just putting on an act."

"...You are truly a defiler. Even your heart is filthy. I'm so sorry."

"Even if you have any requests, Moren City cannot respond right now. This is a small gift of apology. Please accept it."

Edgar pulled out a brooch in the shape of a branch from his bosom.

"This thing is..."

Xiangzi took the brooch and sought an explanation.

"It's said to be a talisman made from twigs of an ancient golden tree. It can die for you when necessary. It's no longer of any use to me. Consider it support from Morn City."

"Alright, leave now. You don't look even older than Irena. There's no reason to risk your life here."

Edgar waved his hand nonchalantly and sat back on the bench with his head lowered.

Xiangzi looked at the brooch on his hand, then looked at the man with a decadent face who no longer paid attention to him. In Xiangzi's eyes, the man's figure gradually overlapped with that of the drunkard.

The girl took a deep breath, raised her eyebrows, then raised her foot and kicked the other person to the ground.

——She had wanted to do this for a long time, as a substitute.

After this kick, Xiangzi felt refreshed.

"you--!"

Edgar was annoyed. This guy was going too far.

I have clearly shown all my courtesy and provided the greatest assistance, but this ungrateful woman still wants to provoke me. Does she think of my sword as a decoration?

But just as he was about to get angry, he was immediately interrupted by the other party's retort.

"Since you have such a thing, you should give it to your daughter. What on earth do you think of Miss Irena?"

Faced with Xiangzi's angry stare, the Lord of Moren City froze in place, and most of his strength disappeared.

"Irena...Have you met Irena?"

......

Edgar finished reading his daughter's letter and carefully put it in his arms.

"...It turns out she's still waiting for me."

"Thank you, thank you for taking care of my daughter."

Edgar stood up and gave a respectful knight's salute.

Only after he stood up straight did Xiangzi notice that Edgar was tall, at least two heads taller than himself.

"But...you said insanity."

Edgar's eyes were filled with complexity, and his tone became cold.
