Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

At the entrance of the tavern, Maggie Li held her cheek with one hand and watched Vera killing people in the crowd with great interest, as if she was enjoying the fun.

"...You gave her the fire?" Uehara Rin stood beside Lin Zhiyu and said to him with a frown.

Lin Zhiyu immediately shook his head and told Uehara Rin that he had only given Vera a little bit of fire power.

After all, Lin Zhiyu has long been a demigod. To give someone the power of fire, he cannot just rely on giving him a spark. You have to know that the spark is the differentiation of Lin Zhiyu's original power. How could he give it away casually?

So far, only Melina and Ingrid have received fire from him.

“…That’s good.” Uehara Rin nodded in relief.

This caused Li Meifeng to tease her, "Why are you acting like a frightened concubine, afraid that your husband will squander all the family wealth on other women?"

"Shut up! You're the only one who talks too much!" Uehara Rin glared at Li Meifeng unhappily, but Li Meifeng still had a smiling face.

In comparison, the others were much quieter, paying more attention to the battle situation on the street ahead.

After "serving" Lin Zhiyu last night, Vera received the blessing of fire from him, and was able to wield its power, though only tentatively. She transformed into a whirlwind of flames, charging into the crowd, initially appearing unstoppable. But then the flames on her blade died, a clear sign of either a skill's cooldown or a mana drain.

Fortunately, Steluna also joined the battle in time and fought together with Vera. In addition, both of them were masters in the top ten of the arena rankings, so they were able to temporarily hold off the hundreds of enemies that blocked the road ahead.

After a while, Vera and Steluna were no match for so many enemies and were both in danger.

For a moment, Steluna was almost beheaded by an enemy from the side and rear. Vera threw a dagger in time to kill the enemy, and Steluna escaped. But then Vera, who lost a weapon, found her situation even more difficult, and she could only fight and retreat with Steluna.

"Um, Captain Lin, aren't we going to take action yet?" Beside Lin Zhiyu, Sayaka Saeki couldn't help but asked Lin Zhiyu.

"Captain Lin? You are the first person to call me that." Lin Zhiyu looked at Saeki Sayaka with amusement, and then gave Uehara Rin a look.

“Sizzle~Swish!”

Uehara Rin suddenly felt electric all over, and in an instant he crossed a distance of more than ten meters. In a blink of an eye, he brought Vera and Steluna back to the door of the tavern, causing Vera and Steluna to open their eyes wide. They were stunned for several seconds before they realized that they were saved!

At the same time, Lin Zhiyu took two steps at a time, walked out from under the eaves of the tavern door and onto the street, and then conjured up the Sword of Night and Fire in his hand.

The enemies, who had suddenly lost their two targets, Vera and Steluna, were stunned for a few moments before someone pointed at Lin Zhiyu and shouted:

"That's the guy! Brothers, charge! Kill him!"

Then a large group of people rushed towards Lin Zhiyu with great momentum.

Lin Zhiyu said nothing, but just raised the Sword of Night and Fire in his hand.

The next second, flames suddenly ignited on the gorgeous blade of the Sword of Night and Fire. The crimson flames enveloped the sword and quickly condensed into the shape of the sword, growing larger and larger.

It looked like the Sword of Night and Fire in Lin Zhiyu's hand had turned into a ten-meter... No, not ten meters.

It's fifteen meters! Twenty meters! Thirty meters! Forty meters!

A flaming sword that is forty meters long!

The large group of enemies who had just been marching towards them with ferocious looks on their faces were all stunned after seeing this scene. Their eyes were filled with fear and they all stopped.

Lin Zhiyu glanced at them coldly, then smashed down the forty-meter-long flaming sword in his hand.

"boom--!"

As a result, a crack dozens of meters long was smashed into the straight and flat road. When the flaming sword, which was a full forty meters long, hit the ground, every spark that was splashed out would explode as soon as it touched a person, and could not be extinguished no matter what.

Many enemies were killed on the spot by Lin Zhiyu's sword.

But more enemies subsequently died painfully from the burning flames, without even being able to have a quick death.

"A bunch of ants." Lin Zhiyu put away the Sword of Night and Fire and said lightly.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with a look of arrogance like that of a god, but this look only lasted for a moment.

The next second, Lin Zhiyu returned to his human state, turned around and went back to the eaves at the entrance of the tavern, then raised his hand and patted Steluna, who had a shocked look on her face.

"Okay, tell me! What is going on?" Lin Zhiyu asked.

Chapter 29: Free Steluna

"...I see. I didn't expect Miss Luna to be so kind, risking her life to come and tip me off."

Under the eaves in front of the pub.

Steluna explained the situation to Lin Zhiyu in general. It was nothing more than that the operators of the arena could not swallow the humiliation of yesterday and felt that they had to regain their face, so they gathered a large number of people to kill Lin Zhiyu, and Steluna was originally one of the people they invited to join this operation.

But Steluna refused the invitation. Firstly, her intuition told her that it was best not to provoke Lin Zhiyu and his gang again. Secondly, she and Lin Zhiyu did not have any deep hatred. There were some frictions between the two sides yesterday, but in the end at least she did not suffer any actual loss.

After all, the injury on her collarbone was healed by Melina, leaving no scar.

So why should she get involved in this mess?

However, the operator of the arena became suspicious because of Steluna's refusal. After all, it was Steluna who spoke first in the arena yesterday and said that she would not bother with Lin Zhiyu.

This time, Steluna refused to kill Lin Zhiyu. People who didn’t know might think that she and Lin Zhiyu were having an affair!

The operators of the arena were also worried that Steluna would cause trouble, so they planned to put Steluna under house arrest for a period of time until the dust settled to prevent the plan from being leaked.

As a result, it was precisely because of their unreasonable behavior that Steluna turned against them, and then she fought her way out of the siege and found Lin Zhiyu. This showed that Steluna was a very powerful fighter, worthy of being the strongest person ranked first in the arena rankings. She was able to break through the siege despite such a large number of enemies.

"Well, even if Miss Luna hadn't come to tip us off, those scum wouldn't have posed any threat at all."

"But no matter what, I still have to thank Miss Luna."

At this moment, Lin Zhiyu smiled and bowed to Steluna in respect, looking very elegant. If Lin Zhiyu hadn't just used a forty-meter-long flaming sword to kill hundreds of people, Steluna might have actually thought Lin Zhiyu was a gentleman.

"No need to thank me. I just didn't want to be held under house arrest by those guys, so I did that." Steluna said to Lin Zhiyu, trying to appear calm.

She thought she had just witnessed Lin Zhiyu's true strength and was completely impressed by him. She didn't mind Lin Zhiyu calling her "Miss Luna" without permission and immediately mustered up the courage to say to Lin Zhiyu:

"If you are truly grateful, just answer one question for me. Of course, this is not an attempt to repay a favor, but a request from the heart." Steluna lowered her head slightly and said to Lin Zhiyu sincerely.

Lin Zhiyu was also curious about what she wanted to ask, so he told her to just say whatever she wanted to say.

Steluna raised her head and glanced at Vera beside her, then asked about Lin Zhiyu and his relationship with Vera.

Vera subconsciously opened her eyes wide and was stunned when she was suddenly mentioned by Steluna.

Lin Zhiyu was also surprised. He didn't expect that this was the question Steluna wanted to ask?

Then, Lin Zhiyu smiled and raised his hand to put it on Vera's shoulder, telling Steluna that Vera was his woman.

These words made Vera and Steluna open their eyes wide in surprise.

Even Shiraki Meiko and Saeki Sayaka couldn't help but look at Vera a few more times. They didn't expect that in just two days, Vera would take the initiative to throw herself into Lin Zhiyu's arms?

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Actually, Miss Vera, you should be considered my attendant now!"

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyu broke the silent atmosphere with another word, and took out the Kalia Knight Armor from the system space and changed his clothes completely in an instant.

This scene made Steluna even more surprised. She subconsciously raised her hand and pointed at Lin Zhiyu, stammering:

"You, you are the Knight of Kalia who caused such a scene in the arena earlier!?"

Lin Zhiyu nodded, and instantly put his entire set of armor back into the system armor, returning to his denim jacket and jeans. He turned his head to look at Vera and said slowly:

"Yes, I am Knight Kalia. Since I'm a knight, I naturally have my own squire~"

Vera blushed immediately when Lin Zhiyu looked at her with a smile.

She knew that Lin Zhiyu was taking care of her face and didn't say it directly. She was just a "maid". Although servants were also "lower than people", it sounded better than maids at least.

However, deep down in her heart, Vera hoped that Lin Zhiyu would take back his later explanation and treat the first sentence he just said as true and not a joke.

"Ms. Vera, you are my woman!" The dark elf couldn't help but squeeze his long and beautiful legs together when he thought of Lin Zhiyu touching his shoulder and saying such words.

They have all been on this island for a long time and are among the top in the arena rankings. Naturally, Steluna and Vera know each other, although they are not very familiar with each other.

All in all, Steluna was still very surprised and confused when she learned that Vera actually followed Lin Zhiyu, the "knight" who suddenly appeared, as a servant.

She looked at Vera, then focused her gaze back on Lin Zhiyu's face. A light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly understood something.

"So, Miss Vera suddenly gained the ability to control fire because of your instruction?" Steluna asked Lin Zhiyu with anticipation.

"Yes, that's right." Lin Zhiyu nodded without denying it. He saw the hope in Steluna's eyes, but he didn't know what it was that she hoped for.

"Can you teach me too?"

Immediately, Steluna made a request to Lin Zhiyu, and Lin Zhiyu then understood why she had such expectation in her eyes when she asked just now.

Perhaps she felt that this was not enough to convince Lin Zhiyu, so Steluna immediately added:

"Since Vera can be your servant, then so can I!"

These words made Vera, who was standing beside her, frown subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Steluna was willing to give herself away for free. Lin Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and thought, is this a character from anime? Anyway, considering that this woman had taken the initiative to come to him, it must be very anime no matter how you think about it!

But Steluna actually had her reasons for making this decision.

You know, Vera was only ranked in the top ten in the arena rankings before, but she has been dominating the top spot for a long time!

So in Steluna's heart, Vera is actually one level lower than her.

However, in the battle just now, Vera showed a fighting power that surpassed her!

Even just now, she almost died at the hands of the enemy in the battle, but Vera saved her in time!

How can I describe this situation? It's like two high-achieving students. B has long been in the top five or three, while A has always been the top student. Until one day, B suddenly surpasses A! A even needs B's help to solve a difficult problem!

This situation!

A, that is, Steluna, how could she not have any fluctuations in her heart?

Now she knew that Vera had surpassed her because she had relied on Lin Zhiyu.

It doesn't matter, it's just hugging someone's thigh, right? Who can't do that?

A servant is a servant, anyway, she is completely convinced of Lin Zhiyu's strength.

Steluna knew very well that with the strength Lin Zhiyu had just displayed, even a so-called legendary master would probably be no better than this. Being able to follow a master whose strength even surpassed that of a "legend" was a blessing many could only wish for!

So Steluna is determined to hold on to this thigh!

In terms of beauty, figure and strength, Steluna felt that she was better than Vera in every aspect... Of course, the strength was before Vera got close to Lin Zhiyu.

In short, if Vera can cling to Lin Zhiyu's thigh, then she can definitely do it too!

This is why Vera frowned after hearing Steluna say that she was also willing to follow Lin Zhiyu.

No, sister! ?

After all, you are number one in the arena rankings!

You want to compete with me for this kind of "inferior" job?

Are you still human!!!

Chapter 30: The car is going too fast, someone can’t stand it

Agrariel.

An elven kingdom nestled among lush green mountains.

This country is not the only elven civilization in the world, but it has its own unique social system; first, the entire country is ruled entirely by female elves, and second, the country also includes two major ethnic groups, the high elves and the dark elves. For thousands of years, these two ethnic groups have been living in harmony, with the high elves ruling the country and the dark elves serving as knights to defend the country.

It's quite counter-intuitive.

In Lin Zhiyu's opinion, shouldn't different types of elves be hostile to each other?

"...Anyway, this is the situation. The person you're looking for has indeed appeared in this area before. You can go to the palace on the mountain and ask for details."

It was noon, the sun's hottest time of the day. At the foot of the mountain where Aglariel's palace stood, beside a small river, Vera, also an elf, after gathering information from a pair of elven sisters, returned to Lin Zhiyu and explained the situation.

Lin Zhiyu smiled and nodded to the elf sisters. After they turned and left, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

"One black, one white. They are clearly two completely different elves, yet they are as close as sisters. This country is truly strange..."

"I've heard a little about this country," Vera said, hands on her hips, briefly sharing what she knew with Lin Zhiyu and the others. For example, in this country, male elves generally held a low status, and female elves didn't reproduce through sexual union, but rather conceived naturally by consuming the fruit of the Tree of Life.

"So, doesn't that mean all the elves in this country are virgins?" Lin Zhiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very interested.

Someone like Vera, who has already done everything with Lin Zhiyu, naturally doesn't care about Lin Zhiyu's sweet talk. At most, she will just purse her lips and ignore what Lin Zhiyu says.

But not every woman in the team has had close contact with Lin Zhiyu, such as Shiraki Meiko, Saeki Sayaka, and Steluna.

Lin Zhiyu still accepted Steluna and let her join his team.

Why not eat the meat that is delivered to your door?

But no suitable opportunity has appeared in the past week.
