Guild Boss's Ambition

The long and lonely years made me a little confused about myself.

Listening to your own heart is not an easy thing.

"You've become very strong."

After I defeated a monster, the magician Bai Ye praised me.

Yes, I have become stronger.

So, I also understand that just becoming stronger is meaningless.

“The important thing is what we can accomplish with that power.”

"Then try to get us all back."

The magician Bai Ye said with a beautiful vision: "Although you have lost eight precious years, you have also gained relatively strong power. Your hometown will welcome you. Your power can solve problems for many people. Your parents will be very happy that their son has returned from an adventure. In the future, you will enjoy wealth and honor and have an extraordinary life."

Listening to her description of the future, I felt a sense of anxiety.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Looking at me asking the question, the magician Bai Ye suddenly smiled and said, "What? You're still a child?"

child?

Eight years have passed in a flash, have I really not grown at all?

I frowned in thought and rode back on the back of the dragon Locke.

With my help, Bai Ye also got on. Locke was not big, so it could barely fit two people. The space seemed a bit crowded. Moreover, the saddle I made only had space for one person. In the state of full flight, Bai Ye might be in danger without sitting on the saddle. Before taking off, I specifically reminded him: "The wind is very strong in the sky."

Magician Bai Ye seemed very relaxed about this.

She sat on the dragon's back in a dangerous side-sitting position, with her arm on my shoulder, and said jokingly, "Don't be afraid, if I really fall down later, I will remember to take you with me to the underworld. Otherwise, after I die, won't you be the only one left in the world alone again? That would be too lonely..."

The scar in my heart was opened, but strangely I didn't feel any pain.

I patted Locke's neck and let him fly: "You really don't know how to talk."

Bai Ye chuckled like a silver bell and said, "How interesting! You are the first person to criticize me like this. Too bad~~ All the people and things in this plane are new to me. I am almost falling in love with it. If I were alone, I would not be bored even if it was a hundred years, let alone eight short years."

Since I didn't know how to respond to her, I didn't respond to her.

She remained silent for a while, then took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I heard that eight years ago, you seemed to have signed a loyalty agreement with the military? How is it? Do you want to go back on your word? If so, I can give you some advice. Compared to marching and fighting, there is a mission that is obviously more suitable for you."

The military? The loyalty pact? It's so far away.

I carefully surveyed the surroundings and replied briefly, "We'll figure this out when we get back."

When I said the words "go back" myself, a surge of energy surged in my chest.

That is indeed a fascinating future.

but……

According to Miss Bai Ye, where we are about to go back to is probably still the city of Mopolis eight years ago.

If my father and mother from eight years ago suddenly saw me become like this...

"It's really disturbing."

Different from the struggles of the past eight years, although the emotions are similar, the troubles at this moment are positive troubles, which are troubles that unfortunate people will never encounter. So I laughed for the first time in a long time.

"Oh?" The magician Bai Ye behind him asked, "Have you thought of something good?"

"nothing."

I was sitting at the back, so why did she notice that I was smiling?

I don't really like to see others see through my heart. Being too frank will bring misfortune on the battlefield. Many of my enemies are creatures that can think, and some of them can read minds. That's really difficult to deal with. No matter what kind of attack, it can avoid it in advance. In the end, Locke and I exhausted its strength and we survived.

Locke flew very fast.

It didn't take long for us to reach the giant's burial place.

In order to learn swordsmanship, I once observed the armored giant from a distance for a long time. Its essence is not human, but a purer life form. No matter how badly it is injured, as long as there is a little bit of residue left, it can attach itself to the earth and be reborn. It can almost be said to be immortal.

But despite this, this armored giant is not completely invincible.

Although its self-healing ability is strong, it also needs a certain amount of time to prepare. During the time of death and self-healing, its enemies can restrict its actions through uninterrupted destruction. Yesterday, when the armored giant was defeated, the nine-headed evil dragon also obviously wanted to implement this strategy. Unfortunately, the armored giant finally escaped on his own.

I picked up one of its fingers.

Even if you only have a broken finger, you can grow a complete giant by burying it in the soil.

The burial site is in the cave of my base.

Over the past eight years, I have gradually learned to make various types of furniture by myself.

The base is fully equipped with beds, tables, chairs and other necessities.

Since there are no four seasons here, the temperature is always comfortable and there are no mosquitoes or insects, so I didn't make any special clothes. No, I seemed to have tried to do it at the beginning, but unlike my memory of civilization, the clothes I made myself using animal skins all smelled very bad. Because I couldn't stand the smell, I finally gave up wearing clothes completely.

It was not until Miss Bai Ye handed me the robe that I realized that I looked like a complete savage.

Being naked in front of women may seem a bit disrespectful, but it's actually not a big deal.

Eight years have passed, and I have given up the insistence on dressing neatly.

The feeling of being naked is far more comfortable than wearing clothes. It allows me to clearly feel the touch of wind and sun, and bare feet are more conducive to flexible walking on sand and rocks. But occasionally when I have to pass through some dangerous terrain, I will still wear shoes and cover myself with smelly animal skins, which can bring me a little extra protection.

As for the wizard's robe, I can't think of any other benefits except that it leaves a refreshing fragrance on it.

If it is used to avoid suspicion between men and women, Miss Bai Ye has never cared about it.

"It's well decorated. There's even a small farm at the door. Shouldn't it be completely self-sufficient?"

Miss Bai Ye deliberately made my life sound light-hearted. This sarcasm made me feel less nervous. Since she is currently my only hope to leave this world, I really don't want to offend her. At the same time, I don't want to be treated as a subordinate by her. Even though I have wasted eight years, I still have self-esteem in my bones.

"The armored giant is buried beneath here."

I moved my bed away and pointed to the bottom.

"In the soil?" she asked.

"He was injured and needs time to recover. According to reports, he is almost healed now."

"Can we dig it up and take a look?" she asked for my opinion.

I responded with practical action. I found a shovel in the toolbox in the room and started digging directly at the location where the giant's limbs were buried. After a few shovels of mud, the corner of a helmet appeared under the soil. There was no time for me to do anything else. The resurrected giant began to struggle violently under the ground.

Shadada...

A wave of sand flew up, and a three-meter-tall armored giant slowly rose from the ground.

"Humans? Two of them, too. How come something that is seen by the military suddenly isn't rare?"

After a pause, it looked at Locke who was sitting cross-legged beside the cave and said thoughtfully: "Dragon clan? Now I remember that it was you and the dragon who saved me. It's strange, why are there humans here? You don't belong to this world, it's too dangerous for you. You should leave as soon as possible and don't even think about settling here."

The magician Bai Ye stepped forward, bowed and asked, "Hello, I am Bai Ye, may I ask if you are Perseus?"

Bai Ye's words made the giant's eyes glow a ferocious red.

The giant asked, "Why do you know my name? Undead."

The necromancer Bai Ye replied: "Do you know Taimi-Moni? She told me that you saved her. The reason we appeared in this plane was to find the girl named Taimi. Now, she has gone back alone, and my companions and I are still stranded in this strange world."

Perseus hummed a long sigh and said with regret, "Taimi, I know her. I sent her to the Gate of Reality and Illusion ten days ago. But the same method may not work within a hundred years. The filthy dragon lingering in the mountain is too powerful. I need to spend a lot of time to recover my strength. I can't escort you like I escorted her."

……

……

53. Virtual Reality (Huabi)

(Huabi-Cottontail)

Although Bai Ye had never seen the nine-headed evil dragon on the mountain, he seemed quite optimistic.

The black-haired woman smiled and said, "We will find a way to bypass the Filthy Dragon. May I ask where the Gate of Reality and Illusion is?"

The Gate of Reality and Illusion? What is that?

I didn't say anything, I just continued to listen silently.

Perseus said in an ancient voice: "I will not take you to find the Gate of Reality and I will not tell you where it is. It is one of the highest laws of this world. I can only tell you that it is built on that mountain. No one has hidden it. As long as you have enough time, you can easily find its entrance."

After a pause, the giant continued: "But even if you find it, you may not be able to use it."

Bai Ye asked: "Why?"

The giant glanced at me and replied slowly, "In return for saving my life, I can tell you a little more. There is a puzzle hidden on the way to the Gate of Reality and Illusion. Unless you are smart enough to solve the puzzle in front of the door, you will not be able to reach the Gate of Reality and Illusion. I advise you to use ordinary teleportation magic to leave."

Bai Ye didn't seem to be very interested in the giant's suggestion: "The way we originally used to pass on the law will cause the problem of disorder in the time axis. The Gate of Reality and Illusion is our most ideal way to return."

"I have no opinion on what you want. You can explore this plane to your heart's content. I have no responsibility to stop your curiosity. The Gate of Reality and Illusion is the most dangerous and mysterious place in the world. You can go to any corner of the world through it. I am also happy to see someone pass through that adventure gate."

"The Gate of Adventure? Not the Gate of Reality and Illusion." Bai Ye asked.

"It's just a nickname we gave it privately." The giant shook his head and replied, then dragged his huge body covered with mud and sand and left the cave. His momentum was very powerful, far beyond the level of mortals. Even though he was an orthodox dragon, the young gravity dragon Locke timidly lowered his head when it passed by. It was an instinctive action.

The awakened giant just walked straight away. I had planned to have a long chat with it, but I didn't expect it to leave so abruptly. I couldn't help but feel pity, but I didn't stop it. Since returning to my hometown is my most important job at the moment, I should do this first instead of running off to chat with the object of my admiration.

After the giant left, I asked, "So, are we going to investigate the Gate of Reality and Illusion next?"

Magician Bai Ye smiled and replied to me: "Yes, Taimi returned through the Gate of Reality and Illusion ten days ago. However, due to her special status, she was escorted by Perseus, and there were monsters to help lead the way along the way. Common people like us are not as lucky as her. We must rely on our own wisdom and strength."

Is Taimi’s identity special?

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Magician Bai Ye curved his eyes and smiled slightly: "Everything in the world is made up of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, and the plane we are currently in is the kingdom of the earth element. Every kingdom has its own emperor. The Taimi you knew eight years ago is probably the queen of this kingdom. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand." I said frankly: "Can you explain it more simply?"

"Haha." Bai Ye showed an expression of "as expected" and said with a smile: "To put it simply, with Taimi's identity, there will definitely be many people who want to control her life in the future. She will be murdered, she will be saved, and the world will change because of her words and deeds. What's more important is, what will you, a knight, do for her?"

The information that Bai Ye suddenly said was so unusual that it was difficult for me to react as I hadn't had contact with anyone for a long time.

I chewed over her words and finally summarized them into a question.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Eight years have unexpectedly made you smarter."

Magician Bai Ye praised me with an unpleasant tone, and then said: "Since you can spend eight years looking for a person whose life or death is unknown, you should be very interested in continuing to protect the same girl for the rest of your life. It will be a very difficult task, and you will encounter many enemies that are more difficult than the beasts."

"Why do I have to protect her?"

I asked calmly, my emotions churning.

Suddenly, Bai Ye changed the subject: "You admire that knight a lot, right? I can see it from your eyes."

I don't deny: "Its swordplay is exquisite."

Then, Bai Ye laughed heartily; "So, you definitely won't bear to part with Taimi."

"..."

I was silenced by her assertion.

Even though her voice and appearance in my memory have long faded like smoke, her name still lingers in my mind.

Taimi...

The eight-year search seemed to have made her my faith.

I feel that my mental state is very strange.

But every time I wake up from a nightmare, it is the name of that girl that supports me to move on this land.

That is my habit, my most natural instinct.

Whenever I heard the girl's name from the magician Bai Ye, my two rabbit ears would react frankly. I couldn't help but feel that I was a little hopeless. I was too lonely over the years. Even though Locke and I had been dependent on each other all the way, the young dragon could never fully understand the thinking of humans.

The wisdom of the dragon is the result of accumulation over a very long period of time.

In the first twenty years, the dragon clan will prioritize developing a strong body, and then the treasures in the head.

When I spoke again, the magician Bai Ye no longer talked to me about the previous topic.

"Well, Mr. Warby, we should get going."

"Hmm?" I came back to my senses: "Don't you need to prepare anything?"

Magician Bai Ye looked at Locke and said casually, "Just prepare some weapons for combat. Did you lose your space ring? Do you need me to give you a new one?"
