T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World
Page 150
It seems that the loud and boisterous jailer actually chose the best route.
Following the maid through the long corridor, we pushed open a mahogany door, and a magnificent reception room came into view.
Seated in the center was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes with a refined appearance.
However, there were other people in the drawing room, and it seemed that the lord intended to share this joke with his guests.
The group of guests were not very old, about 16 or 17 years old, similar to Mint.
To be a guest of honor to the lord, one is most likely a nobleman's son.
Their brows naturally exuded confidence and disdain. When their gaze touched the boundary between reality and illusion, they first frowned slightly, then their expressions immediately relaxed, transforming into a haughty indifference and contempt.
"Mint?"
As soon as she stepped into the reception room, before she could even look around, a sudden sound startled Mint.
“Mi, Milinda.” Mint’s eyes sharpened in an instant.
The seated guests all stood up, their gazes shifting from the boundary between reality and illusion to Mint, as if they had witnessed something incredible.
Lord Gunnar's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air; he looked somewhat bewildered.
He decided to observe for the time being.
"I never expected that a good-for-nothing who left the Star Speaker Academy would show up here."
"Mint, it's been almost half a year already. I remember you made some bold statements saying you'd defeat Renee sooner or later. So, is this where you're preparing to unleash your full potential?"
The boundary between reality and illusion sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
Renee.
They finally learned the name of the opponent who had caused Mint to lose so decisively.
Mint has been with them for so long, yet she is unwilling to bring it up, which shows the pressure she feels.
"Philna, you still love being Renee's dog so much, can't you speak without her?" Mint took a deep breath and looked directly at her classmates from the Star Speaker Academy. "I can't beat Renee, not you guys, right?"
Sure enough, once Renee was out of the picture, Mint transformed back into that confident, genius witch.
"Hahahaha, Mint, have you forgotten that outside of the academy, the most important ability is practical combat skills, not the scoreboard in the instructor's hand? What's your practical combat rating?"
Someone feigned ignorance and asked, "I'm a bit forgetful, what number is it exactly?"
"Of course it's the fifth-tier rating, which is better than the worst sixth-tier. Is this what genius is? It's really laughable."
Uh……
The boundary between reality and illusion is breaking down.
Mint actually lied, saying she was in the middle of the class, but that's clearly the bottom of the class!
This completely stunned Mint, leaving her speechless.
She blushed and looked up guiltily, glancing sideways at Jiang Heyi and the others, her forehead covered in sweat.
She calls herself "Mint Mom" all the time; now the kids are laughing at her!
"I thought Mint was completely crushed by you guys, turns out she's only bad at practical combat." Jiang Heyi said with a look of disdain. "The genius witch has one weakness, she's not perfect. Are all your achievements excellent?"
"Who are you?"
From the very beginning, the people from the Star Speakers Academy didn't take the boundary between reality and illusion seriously. They only refrained from humiliating the country bumpkins because they heard the lord say that "there was a group of strange, laughable visitors."
Lord Gunnar, having basically grasped the situation, spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Their goal is similar to yours; they all want to go to the Demon King's Court of the Fallen Star Sea, but..."
He paused, swirling his teacup, his smile fading.
"However, they claimed that the Siren King's Court of the Fallen Star had their fiancées."
A brief silence fell over the living room. Mint's classmate and "friend" stared in surprise, then exchanged bewildered glances before bursting into unrestrained laughter that could have lifted the ceiling of the living room.
"Fiancée, hahahahaha!"
"Judging from your attire, you must be adventurers who make a living by taking on bounties." Someone was suppressing a laugh, his face turning red. "Although the Fallen Star Sirens don't care about pure blood, if they are mixed-bloods, they would never choose a bunch of useless people who have barely taken human form."
"Countless nobles in Anna yearn to have a romantic encounter with the Siren, yet they are all turned away. Are you suggesting that the Fallen Star Siren has questionable taste?"
"Mint, have you now stooped to associating with a bunch of liars and swindlers?"
"That's true. If you don't rely on deception, how can you acquire enough resources to catch up with Renee? Perhaps you're also a genius at deception, just like you boast?"
Mint was furious: "You're the liar! You bunch of people who barely made it into the Star Speakers through family connections are less talented and less capable than me. What's there to laugh at!"
“Watch your words. If you leave the Star Speaker Academy and continue to disrespect us, you will be punished.” The girl named Philna said coldly. “You should be glad that we still care about the friendship between Star Speakers.”
"Philna, why are you still worrying about that? Isn't she a fraud herself, hanging out with these people?"
"what a shame."
"What siren fiancée? She's probably just trying to gain the siren's sympathy by playing the victim and admire the Fallen Star Library."
Jiang Heyi stopped Bohe from speaking.
He stepped forward and took a deep breath.
"I do have a fiancée in the Fallen Star Royal Court, and she is at the eighth rank."
"..."
"..."
No one laughed this time.
A furious sense of being fooled surged through everyone's face, fueled by boiling blood.
Even Lord Gunnar, who was watching the show, changed his expression.
"Arrogant, rude, base, and filthy, indeed, no clean words can come out of the mouth of the lowest of men."
At this moment, another group of people were led into the reception room.
The young man with long black hair looked down at Jiang Heyi from his elevated position.
The Star Speakers seemed to know the later leaders of this group of nobles.
"Giza, I heard that you requested to go to the Fallen Star Royal Court this time in order to get to know the excellent royal court siren. But it seems that someone is more outstanding than you and easily got an eighth-level siren."
The young man named Giza questioned Lord Gunnar without any politeness.
"Your Lordship, are you prepared to watch such a lowly group of people tarnish your manor with lies?"
Jiang Heyi had been observing the lord's expression. When Giza spoke, he was clearly displeased.
He then took out the scale in his hand and had the maid give it to the lord.
"Please help me contact the royal court. Just inform them that Kesha and his men have arrived."
Lord Gunnar's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Jiang Heyi in disbelief.
"Ksha, who is Ksha?"
The Star Speakers, and even Giza and others, were all bewildered.
After exchanging glances with Jiang Heyi for a while, the lord took out two seashells he always carried with him in front of everyone and walked into the side hall of the reception room.
A wondrous magical rhythm arose, and those with a foundation in magic felt a ripple-like sensation, like the waves of the sea.
As Lord Gunnar emerged from the side hall, he gave Jiang Heyi another long look.
He coughed and said, "I need to leave for a while. When I return, I will take you to the royal court."
"As stated beforehand, according to the laws of Anna, I will demand payment for any private feud within the city-state, regardless of who it involves."
Baffling actions and words.
While the others were still confused about the boundary between reality and illusion, Zhong Zemo excitedly lowered his voice and explained to Orange Tea and the others.
"This lord is a clever man. He deliberately gave the stage to He Yi, thus subtly currying favor with him."
Under the lord's strict order that "private duels are forbidden," the two sides were left with only the option of a war of words.
The prison guard is incredibly powerful, and he's got all the tricks up his sleeve with his sarcastic and unpredictable personality.
Jiang Heyi was not to be outdone. He unleashed the sealed fun switch and poured out their insults to Mint, such as... people who can't even beat Mint are not even as good as children.
Just as the two sides were building up their anger, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor.
"Oh!"
The mahogany door to the reception room collapsed with a crash as the water element surged through it.
Kraken?
Those outside the boundary between reality and illusion were dumbfounded.
The moment the alluring siren pushed open the door, her gaze was fixed on Jiang Heyi, who was maintaining his violent output mode.
Upon realizing this, an absurd guess came to everyone's mind.
impossible……
"Wow, my potatoes!"
As if to assert her dominance, she shouted as soon as she entered the room.
Kexia pounced straight on Jiang Heyi, her chubby fishtail swinging excitedly on the ground, making a series of "slap slap slap" sounds.
"I thought you'd be waiting a long time to come see me, but you're here so soon?"
"It was all an act of hesitation; she clearly likes me!"
In her siren form, Kesha's weight increased dramatically, and her powerful fishtail provided her with immense strength, rendering Jiang Heyi unable to move.
What's wrong with your fish tail?
“Oh, anyway, I’m taking you to the royal court soon, so I won’t dispel it for now… Oh, it seems there’s a group of you humans who really like thighs.” Ksha seemed to understand something, his eyes shining brightly. “I see.”
Just as Jiang Heyi was about to explain, the prison guard interrupted.
"Yes, that's it."
Chapter 153 Liking Needs No Reason
Jiang Heyi's heart rate is approaching that of the physical fitness test.
Kesha pressed down on him, shaking incessantly, its tail twitching wildly with the rhythm of its body. The sea serpent-like tail was so agile; it had already curled up onto his thighs and was showing signs of wrapping around his waist.
Jiang Heyi swore he wanted to push it away, but without the Glutton's power to suppress it, the siren's true form, Kesha, was surging with powerful water elemental power, making it difficult for him to even exert any force.
The tough scales that help the siren resist physical and magical attacks are as smooth as silk and feel cool to the touch. Where his skin comes into contact with Ksha's, it feels like water flowing over it.
A warm sensation occasionally pierced through the "water flow" and reached his skin.
A wonderful experience.
Fries couldn't stand it anymore and reminded Kesha, "Everyone's watching."
Kesha raised his head and looked around.
The boundary between the virtual and real worlds was already prepared for Kesha's initiative and enthusiasm, leaving the magicians and nobles of Anna completely dumbfounded.
Sirens are generally perceived as optimists by the people of the Anna coast.
However, in inland areas with a strong academic and political atmosphere, they are more likely to be seen as a group of people with deep-seated cunning and hidden advantages.
The better one's talent, the stronger one's strength, and the higher one's rank, the more reserved one becomes. This has been proven among many terrestrial species, and the siren should be no exception.
Can……
Pounce on someone the moment you meet them?
Wherein lies the reserve and arrogance of the dominant species?
Jiang Heyi took the opportunity to free his hand from Ke Xia's grasp.
Jiang Heyi thought that Kexia would stop after realizing she was being watched so intensely, but to his surprise, she only glanced at him before nuzzling against his cheek like a cat.
"A body temperature different from a siren's, so comfortable~~~~"
"She smells like seaweed." Jiang Heyi vaguely identified the type of scent.
The person in bed pondered: "So the game only prohibits players from harassing NPCs, but doesn't it trigger a warning if the NPCs initiate the harassment?"
