Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

Hearing this, the blond boy nodded.

Just as the topic was over, a beam of fire appeared in the distant sky and shot straight towards the parliament tower.

The three council members present sighed.

"What's wrong?" Leon asked.

Elafia said, "Falina's captain, that big bastard, I've told him countless times not to come over here like that. It's no use."

The flames quickly reached the outside of the open council hall. When the light faded, a man from the Ox-Horned Tribe appeared, riding a flying shuttle.

This shuttle itself is a high-level treasure, and he uses it as a small airship.

Andasu, who had originally opened her pale golden eyes wide when she saw the flying object, lost interest after seeing that its true form was a weapon.

"Hey, Sisyphus, open the windbreak!"

The man's voice was incredibly loud, and even though the windbreaks dampened the strong winds that tried to blow into the parliament hall, there was still some noise. Logically, if he was shouting outside, no one inside could hear him, but the councilors in front of the windbreak and Leon could clearly hear his words.

The man's muscles were so strong that they seemed to be bursting his shirt and trousers. It was obvious that these were clothes he had changed into for a conference and they did not fit him well.

In the Holy City for many years, Leon had seen him in Yuanwuba, but had never met him up close. Now that he was still flying outside the tower, he had already determined that this man's physique was far superior to that of the Platinum King.

What caught his eye was a pair of horns that curled at the sides of his head like those of an argali, and they had been carefully polished and drilled. It looked like he usually wore a lot of horn ornaments, but they were taken off at this time.

This man's name is Barbanus Soliz, and he is the leader of the Banquet of the Gods. He calls himself the strongest man in Newbis, and ranks fourteenth in personal merit. He claims that his promotion was delayed because he led the group, otherwise he would have been first long ago.

Although it is hard to say whether he can get the first place, he is indeed one of the strongest people in Newbis.

Li Ang recognized him because he was a pure warrior, no advanced class, no special class, just a warrior. His strength was the result of countless trials and tribulations, and he was a battle maniac.

"Enter from below," Sisyphus said to Barbanus.

"Uh, stop nagging and let me in!"

Sisyphus smiled and said, "I told you last time that this was my final warning. If you come here like this again, I will never let you in."

"Where's Farina? Come and help your captain blow up this windbreak!" Barbanus shouted.

The brown eyes on his rugged face swept across the council hall, his gaze lingering on Alulu, but he didn't see Farina.

"She couldn't come due to something urgent."

"Didn't they say that this meeting was held because she was dragged into it? Why can't she come again?!"

After complaining, the Bull Warrior asked again, "Which one are you?"

"My name is Li Ang. I'm a sorcerer and usually serve as a team support."

"Ah, with someone like you, the regiment's military advisor wanted to recruit you. Do you have a powerful buff spell?"

"Correct."

"Use it on me, quick. I want to see if it's as magical as that Douding thinks it is."

In the strong wind at high altitude, the bull man opened his strong arms towards Li Ang.

"Now?"

"Correct."

"Stop messing around, get downstairs and take the elevator, you muscular bastard!" Alafia frowned and cursed.

Ah Xiang rested his head on his hands and watched the fun.

Li Ang looked at the council members and said, "Let's take the proper approach. If I buff you like this, everyone will be angry."

"Oh, good, good!"

The cow man cursed as he descended towards the bottom of the parliament tower.

The patrolling order knights in the distance, who had been extremely nervous for a long time, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"That bastard doesn't like to follow the rules, but he likes to come to meetings." said Alafia.

"Haha, after all, the resolutions meetings discuss important matters. The more you like to join in the fun, the more you'll like to come." A Xiang said with a smile.

When Barbanus's loud voice was heard again, there were three more figures beside him.

Seeing this, Sisyphus said, "All the participants and invitees have arrived. Please take your seats."

The four of them arrived together, walking as if carrying a gust of wind.

That was not due to visual perception or inner views, but because when their powerful spiritualities unconsciously attracted magic power, the difference in spirituality caused magical turbulence between them.

Anyone who can sense magic will feel this wind.

In addition to Balbanus who was at the front, there were also Virgil who was ranked fifth in the individual ranking, “Monster Lord”, Olivia who was ranked sixth in the “Brilliant Fist”, and Otto who was ranked eighth in the “Heart-Slashing Swordsman”.

Leon had only heard of these three people but had never met them in person. It was only after Alafia introduced them that he knew who they were.

The three of them were not as talkative as Barbanus. All of them disagreed with the bull man asking Leon to perform the buff spell, so they pushed him into a chair and started the meeting.

The chair creaked as the nearly three-meter-tall burly man sat on it, but Sisyphus did not use magic to strengthen him. Although a top-level warrior would not fall and could even stand steadily in a horse stance, Leon felt that the Speaker might want to see Barbanus make a fool of himself.

"Well, thank you all for coming. This incident happened suddenly, so this impromptu knight's decision will be hasty. However, the matter is urgent, and we must inform you in a timely manner to ensure world peace."

Sisyphus put away his smile and said seriously, "Let me tell you a story first."

The councillors, including Barbanus, listened attentively.

"That was before the guild was established. When Sword King Espada Saga and his companions finished their adventure and were thinking about what to do next, they encountered a new and powerful enemy.

"Just as the fairy tale published by the guild describes, this enemy is none other than the otherworldly demon god whose body is entirely scarlet, known simply as the 'Crimson Devil.'"

Sisyphus raised his golden staff, and a scroll slowly unfolded behind him.

"Now, I will tell you the full picture of what the guild knows about the demon."

180. The Adventure of the Sword King

A long time ago, on an island full of flowers, there lived a little boy who was a little swordsman.

He lived a carefree life, playing happily with his friends every day, using his swordsmanship to drive away wild beasts and help people.

But one day, a red-haired man came to the island. Everyone welcomed him warmly and he settled down on the island.

The little boy loved to listen to the story told by the red-haired man. He said that there was an ocean in the past and the islands were connected. Everyone on the island laughed at him, but the boy was the only one who was willing to listen.

The red-headed man also said that the stars in the sky could fall to the earth and turn into terrible monsters. Beyond the starry sky, there are evil beings trying to invade our Newbis.

The boy asked, what if we encounter these monsters?

So, the red-haired man taught the boy more powerful swordsmanship.

As the days passed, one day the boy noticed more and more strange things happening on the island.

A resident went missing and a monster wearing red armor was found in his home.

A family was found dead together in the mountains with strange symbols around them.

When someone was looking for his missing family, he encountered a wild beast that could speak human language and even called his name. He was so scared that he shot and killed the beast.

The boy decided to find out the truth.

Finally, he found out that all this was done by the red-haired man who came to the island. He was sad and angry. In response to his questioning, the red-haired man asked him to join him to conquer the entire Newbis.

The boy drew his sword, but he was no match for the enemy. Before he was about to die, he was saved by a magical Pegasus.

Pegasus took the boy to an island full of brilliant minerals and transformed him into a man.

He told the boy that the red-haired man's true identity was a blood-red demon who had always wanted to turn the world into their paradise.

The devil's paradise is hell, and the boy's hometown was harmed by it.

He didn't know how long the people in his hometown could hold on, and he didn't know how the demon would torture his friends and fellow villagers. He wanted to become strong, strong enough to defeat the demon.

So, he embarked on an adventure to hone his sword skills.

The above is the opening story of the fairy tale "The Adventure of the Sword King" published by the Sky Knight Guild.

It was not Leon who was recalling the story in his heart, but Sisyphus told the story to everyone present with a smile, like a teacher teaching elementary school students.

Li Ang still remembered that the subsequent plot was that the boy learned sword-making from the human transformed by Pegasus, met a dragon-blood warrior, accidentally entered the fairy forest, became friends with the little witch there, and met a famous adventurer through a fight.

Then, he got help from the gods in the starry sky, fought against the six-colored dragon, and killed the giant snake that wanted to turn the clouds into the sea... Finally, after a series of adventures, he achieved success and won the title of "Sword King".

He returned to his hometown, defeated the devil, and saved the people on the island.

After establishing a guild with his friends, everyone in Newbis lived happily.

After hearing the beginning, the red-haired woman among the parliamentarians impatiently put her high-heeled boots on the table.

Olivia, the "Brilliant Fist", ranked sixth in personal merit and belongs to the air cavalry regiment "Super Lucky Regiment".

Compared to the casual nature of Wandering in the Clouds, this group was even more spontaneous. This woman was famous for her unparalleled fighting skills even in high heels, her ability to perform dazzling and beautiful combos with every turn.

"Hey, Xixi, we have heard this kind of story countless times since we were young." Olivia said, and even gave the Speaker a nickname.

"Really? Have you all heard of it?" Barbanus said in surprise. "I think it's quite interesting."

Everyone looked at the strong bull man.

"No way? Am I really the only one who hasn't heard of it?"

The bull warrior turned his head and looked at the "Heart-Slashing Swordsman" Otto next to him. The latter was also from the Bull Horn Clan, but of normal size for the tribe.

Otto's horns are not thick, but they are very long overall, which shows that he is very old, and his long white hair also shows this.

"Old Swordsman, have you heard of it too?"

"Hmm." Otto replied in a hoarse and heavy voice.

"Fuck, I don't accept it."

"Are you a child?" The speaker was the handsome, thin, white-haired man, "Monster Lord" Virgil.

Sisyphus smiled and said, "It's not shameful if you haven't heard of it."

Barbanus was about to laugh when he heard the Speaker say, "It is indeed strange, though."

He said: "I train my body to the extreme because I don't want to lose to anyone."

"You've trained your brain into a muscle," Alafia scolded.

The young speaker turned to Olivia and smiled, "There are indeed people here who need to be told something, right?"

The red-haired woman curled her lips.

"Okay, let's get on with it. What's going on?"

Olivia rested her hands on the back of her head, not caring about showing off her graceful and beautiful curves.

"The so-called Crimson Demon does exist."

Sisyphus went straight to the point, stepped aside, and showed everyone the painting behind him.

Leon had seen the portrait before. It was the "six-winged demon" with three pairs of black wings growing out of its body covered in bloody keratin.

"Is this the 'heterogeneous demon' you were talking about? Is he powerful? I'd like to fight him."

Balbanus smiled and pumped his fists, his strong knuckles cracking.

"Naturally, fairy tales have been simplified and adapted. In reality, Senior Espada's adventures weren't so smooth. According to the notes he left behind, he mentioned that the devil's curse seemed to always be with him."

When the Speaker said this, Leon and his group and Alafia all stared intently.

Sisyphus noticed their expressions and nodded in greeting.

He continued, "Whether he encountered a demon in his youth, or is this just a story? Shame on me, even the top-secret Curry, which is only open to the Speaker, doesn't record it.

"The fairy tale was published under the supervision of Lichman Chaaiin. As the Speaker, the first thing I learned when I learned about the Crimson Demon was that this fairy tale was deliberately created to instill a sense of vigilance against the Crimson Demon in the hearts of the people of Newbis.

"The founders are always preparing, ready for the day when they will appear again.

"Every generation of Speakers has been busy trying to get people prepared for the situation."

Virgil sat up straight. "So, the Speaker never mentioned this before. It's different now, right?"

Otto said in a low voice: "It's not an isolated case."

Sisyphus nodded: "That's right."

He used the golden staff to unfold another scroll, which was the scroll that Alafia had obtained in the Glittering Fields.

The six-armed demon that had once faced the Star Flower Troupe was now appearing on the paper.

Olivia sat up and said, "The form is different."
