I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Then he will definitely be a wise king who treats his people well.

Shining firmly believed this, and therefore, she did not reject Viego at all.

As she said, she would offer her body to Viego.

And loyalty.

"Also...I have something else to tell you." Shining turned his head and looked at Viego.

"What?" Viego answered, and then said helplessly: "I told you not to use honorifics when talking to me. I'm not used to it... There's no need to be too respectful to me."

"My identity in the Absolver organization is rather...special. The other Absolvers should have discovered that I am here by now. They may soon launch a general attack in an attempt to kill you and take me back." Shining lowered his eyes and said softly:

"Maybe you don't care about their actions, but I should still tell you about this."

Viego saw complicated emotions on Shining's face.

It seemed like helplessness, like sadness, and even seemed to be accompanied by a hint of disgust.

It seems that this girl's background is not simple.

However, it doesn't really matter, Viego thought indifferently.

Pardoner? If they provoke me, then so be it. We've already made enemies, so why should we be afraid of them causing trouble? If we still worry about them after we've already provoked them, wouldn't that just make things uncomfortable for ourselves?

"Then let them come." Viego sneered. "They will die in my hands sooner or later anyway."

He did not forget that these pardoners would occasionally shoot fireballs or crossbows, leaving a lot of bad marks on his beloved new car.

Even if the pardoner doesn't come, he will take the initiative to go to their house and settle the debt with them.

In a sense, Viego is also a very vengeful and petty person.

"You...don't you want to ask me what's going on?" Shining looked at Viego, seeming a little caught off guard.

"Do you want me to ask? If you want to say something, just say it yourself. If you don't want to say it, forget it." Viego said, and then pretended to be fierce and said: "Also, you are not allowed to call me honorifics anymore, otherwise I will punish you."

Viego felt like ants were crawling all over his body and felt very uncomfortable when he heard the words "you, you, and your" all over.

Where's the anteater? Where's the anteater? Damn it, save it!



Chapter 67 What is the Fire Keeper Shining?

"If... this is your order." Beside the campfire, Shining's face turned slightly red. "Then, I will pay more attention in the future."

Viego: “?”

What's the meaning.

You won't listen to me when I talk to you properly, and you have to wait for me to "order" you to listen, right?

What are you trying to do with that blushing and heart-pounding expression?

Bad, it's like I accidentally triggered a strange switch in this woman.

There's something wrong with this Shining woman.

Even nine out of ten are wrong.

I guess he's not a masochist who likes to be ordered around...

Or was it that I was the one who caused Stockholm to become what I am today?

As if he also felt that his words were very wrong, Shining turned his face slightly away, avoiding Viego's complicated gaze, and whispered:

"...I can keep watch, you...you can rest first."

"I am now a living dead man, I don't need to rest."

"What...?" Shining raised his head in a slow reaction, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

"That's exactly what it means." Viego looked at her. "Not afraid of getting hurt, no fatal wounds, no need to rest, no need to eat, this is my current state."

"It doesn't sound like the rumored immortality."

"That's true. In this state, life seems to have lost a lot of fun." Viego recalled his previous life.

"The happiest thing for me used to be sleeping until I woke up naturally on my days off, but now, I have been sleepless for a long time."

In fact, staying up all night is a small matter. In my previous life, when I had games to play, movies to watch, and work to complete, I really wished I could stay awake every day and have forty-eight hours to complete these tedious tasks.

But he is now in a different world, and what is really tormenting him is the feeling of having nothing to do and being bored during those sleepless nights.

——It was like the time when Viego watched over W while he slept all night, and then he pulled out a bunch of weeds on the ground next to him and arranged them neatly, which almost caused him to be treated as a fool by Ines and W.

It’s not that Viego wants to do something stupid, but that he really has nothing to do.

But after coming to the other world for a week, Viego has somewhat gotten used to this feeling.

But if the time span is extended again, and he has to work without rest for decades or even hundreds of years...

It was hard for Viego to say whether he would become insane or mentally ill.

"I see..." Shining pursed her lips slightly. "It's hard to imagine how it feels, but..."

She stood up and sat next to Viego, putting her sword aside and revealing her long legs that were hidden under the cloak.

The white-haired Sarkaz looked at Viego, she pursed her lips, and seemed a little nervous.

"I may not be able to make you fall asleep, but maybe I can make you feel more relaxed. Lord Viego, please... lie on my lap - if you don't mind..."

What is a fireproof female knee pillow.

Viego looked at Shining's slender legs that were in perfect proportions and hesitated for a second.

Then, lie down.

I'm not a leg control I'm not a leg control I'm not a leg control...

There was a soft touch behind his head. The thin fabric could not block the expression of body temperature. Instead, it perfectly transmitted the slightly rising warm body temperature of the Pardoner to Viego.

Viego looked at the black cloth in front of him and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

Why can't I see the face?

Is the chest armor of the Pardoner's costume always this thick?

Hidden under the wide cloak is an unexpectedly amazing figure.

Shining stretched out her hand and gently covered Viego's eyes, with a barely perceptible shyness in her voice. "Lord Viego, please close your eyes... I'm getting nervous if you look at me like this."

“…” Damn, bigger things really are more likely to attract people’s attention. My teacher in my previous life was right.

The eyelashes fluttered in the palm of the pardoner, bringing an itchy sensation.

It was Viego who closed his eyes.

Shining breathed a sigh of relief, and his accelerating heartbeat slowed down a little.

it's wired...

It feels even more tense than fighting a life-and-death battle on the battlefield.

Shining's fingertips glowed with a warm white light.

She pressed her fingers on Viego's temple and rubbed it a little awkwardly.

"This is the first time I've done anything like this, so if you feel uncomfortable, please let me know."

"Just do it, it's just practice for you." Viego said. "Even if you crush my head, I won't die - but if you really do it, I will spank you."

Shining blushed slightly.

"Don't worry...I won't do anything like that."

After a moment of silence, Shining asked softly, "Do you feel relaxed, Lord Viego?"

"Indeed... I have to admit that your power surprises me a little, Shining."

Viego really didn't expect that Shining's Originium technique could have such an effect - he originally thought that the heartwarming feeling of the white light was just a disguise to cover up the sharpness.

I didn't expect it to have such a soothing effect... and it could actually work on someone like him whose body had been transformed by the Curse of Ruin.

The magic from another world is not as simple and crude as it seems...

Shining's legs are indeed comfortable to sleep on, but I don't know about W and Inès's...

Snapped--!

Viego slapped himself in his heart.

Viego, oh Viego, how could you be so depraved!

You are not a leg-control freak, so how can you think about other people's legs every day!

It would have been fine if you touched her legs at that time, because that was to absorb the Curse of Ruin on the fragments. Now that the Curse of Ruin is gone, you actually want to rest your head on her knees. How could you fall to this level!

...It’s so comfortable lying down, lie down for a while longer.

Hmm... I'll buy a pair of black stockings for Shining next time...

Well, this was just a return gift to Shining for giving him a knee pillow and massage, and it was definitely not because he wanted to see Shining wearing black stockings.

Absolutely not!

The next moment, the black fog at the edge of the camp showed signs of being touched.

Viego opened his eyes, carefully avoided the "obstacle" as tall as a mountain in front of him, and stood up.

Shining noticed something was wrong from Viego's reaction and stood up holding the sword. "Lord Viego, what's wrong?"

"...The group of pardoners are coming." Viego replied, sensing that the black fog in the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest was being disturbed. At the same time, a humanoid figure was gradually trying to go deeper.

He glanced at Mastema, who was awakened by the noise and quickly stood up and picked up his gun, and looked at Shining. "You and Mastema stay in the camp and support each other. I will go and deal with them."

"Yes, Lord Viego." Shining nodded seriously. "Please... also be careful."

Viego waved his hand, and his figure disappeared in the increasingly thick black fog.

Sensing the several figures disturbing the black fog, Viego clenched the Ruined King Sword in his hand, a hideous smile of dissatisfaction appearing at the corner of his lips.

Stop pretending, show your cards.

The Shining knee pillow is indeed comfortable.

"Damn it, you just like to pick times like this to be an annoying fly, don't you..."

Then all of you die!

Chapter 68 "The Tide is Rising!"

The dark green sword cut through the black fog, and the white-haired figure jumped out with the sword in his hand raised high, slashing down heavily at the dark figure below!

The pain penetrates the heavenly spirit!

The Ruined King's Sword broke through the air and cut the figure below into two halves.

But Viego had no real feeling of hitting any flesh.

He frowned at the scribbled doll that had been chopped in half on the ground.

puppet...?

Is it deliberately used to disrupt my perception?

What is their purpose?

Take the opportunity to find Shining? No, the Black Mist did not sense that anyone had gone deep inside. For the time being, no one could get close to Shining and Mostima. Viego did not think that the Pardoners would be able to avoid the Black Mist's detection.

This is the Curse of Ruin, a power that almost destroyed the entire Rune Continent.

Even if the Pardoner could hide his body, avoid normal perception, and eliminate that thing called Originium Skill Fluctuation, there was absolutely no way for him to avoid the black fog.

——Because this is a brand new, unknown power to them, and it has never appeared on this land before.

Then, their purpose would only be to use puppets to lure themselves out, and then...

There was a sharp whistling sound in the air.

Viego raised his head and looked at the fireball falling like a meteorite above his head.
