Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

"Hmm... I didn't expect it to be so close. It's not even far from the Far East. At the average human's travel speed, it would only take less than a year to get there."

Congratulations on triggering an A-level wish.

He was eating an apple he bought from a vendor when he paused, staring at the system notification that suddenly popped up.

Yes, that Yamato Nadeshiko's past was no less dramatic than Leila's.

Rhodes made a decision quickly.

Go see Dedein as quickly as possible, and then head to the Far East immediately.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a very familiar name.

"Oh my, is Goddess Astraea out shopping again?"

"Hehe, yeah, we can't let this child go hungry with me, can we?"

"Oh, little Alexie, why are your eyes all red? Did you cry again?"

"I...I didn't! Humph, the honest and beautiful me is just undergoing a test of justice!"

A clear, childlike voice, yet incredibly stubborn, rang out.

"My swordsmanship will soon be as good as the goddess's, just you wait and see!"

Good-natured laughter came from passersby on the street.

Rod didn't turn around, but a genuine smile appeared on his lips.

So, they were here at this time...

In about five years, Kaguya will come here to be invited by the goddess Astrea.

A year later, Leila, who had just been sent out of the city of sinners, would also join the righteous clan here.

Without greeting them, Rod chuckled softly, his figure disappearing into the shadows of the alley in an instant.

"Press?"

Alexie, who was smugly waving her wooden sword, suddenly stopped. She turned around in confusion to look at an apple stand, but saw nothing.

The goddess Astraea gently bent down and asked with concern.

"what's wrong?"

Alexie was also puzzled, clutching her chest in bewilderment, a strange intuition reminding her of something.

"Just now... I had a feeling that something important left..."

Astraea followed Alyssa's gaze, lost in thought.

"Is he gone forever?"

"No...it doesn't feel like that."

"In that case, you will meet again in the future sooner or later."

"...What the goddess says makes sense."

Alexie instantly regained her energy, raised her little fist high, and revealed a bright and confident smile.

"Alright! In order to rediscover this important thing that I don't even know what it is in the future, I must strive even harder to spread the wings of order and ignite my soul of justice! Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

But the next second, his stomach made a "gurgling" sound.

Alexie's smug expression froze instantly.

"Um, before that, let's figure out how to fill our stomachs first."

She scratched her head sheepishly.

"Sigh, when will I get a new partner? I hope it's someone with maxed-out culinary talent!"

Astraea smiled and patted her little head.

"I'm sure I'll meet him."

After leaving the town, Rod kept appearing in various places, adjusting his direction in time.

Occasionally, you might also trigger some A-rank prayers to deal with bandits or monsters along the way.

Since there was a severe shortage of prayer points and the task wasn't too difficult, Rhodes simply completed them without much trouble.

This time, on their way to the town of Dedein, Rhodes rescued a group of innocent people who had been framed by corrupt officials and casually beheaded one of them.

"Thank you, sir. You answered our prayers like a god. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead in that cold prison long ago..."

The family of four in front of Rod shed tears of emotion.

The kind old lady at the head of the group insisted on knowing Rod's name, wanting her descendants to forever remember his kindness.

“It’s nothing to me,” Rhodes said calmly. “If I have to remember something to feel at ease, then remember [Justice].

Rhodes did not want to accept gratitude from others for such acts of helping others, which were based on purely utilitarian motives.

He prefers to see it all as a transaction.

In the end, the old lady still couldn't get Rod's name. She just secretly memorized his appearance, and regretfully led her family to bow to Rod before getting into the carriage and driving away.

A blonde girl with a dirty face was left behind.

"Aren't you coming with us?" Rod asked, somewhat surprised.

The girl asked a strange question instead.

"I don't know them, why should I walk with them?"

"Then why did you come along?"

"Hmm... since someone's breaking into the prison, it would be stupid not to come along, right?" the girl said matter-of-factly. "But anyway, thank you, you're such a kind person."

"..."

Rhodes was speechless for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Fine, I'll just consider it a rare act of kindness from me and I won't charge you."

The girl had a cold and aloof look in her eyes, but she completely destroyed that atmosphere the moment she opened her mouth.

The way she spoke was strangely similar to that of the idiot Alexie...

Rhodes turned and walked out of town. The blonde girl thought for a moment, then followed him like a little tail.

"Handsome big brother, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No."

"That won't do. Ingratitude is not my style!" She puffed out her chest, her face serious.

"Hehe, what a righteous statement," Rod was amused by her. "So how did you (Li's) end up in jail?"

"I robbed the rich to help the poor and failed!" she said nonchalantly. "Let me tell you, I'm going to become the woman of the King of Thieves! I swore before that I would never contract with any god except the guardian deity of thieves!"

"...If you don't have any bloodline, you probably won't be able to become one."

"I don't understand what you're saying, but I'm serious about wanting to repay you!"

The girl ran quickly to Rod, opened her arms to block him, her golden hair fluttering in the wind, and her big eyes looked up at him with sincere sincerity, sparkling with a stubborn light.

"I know I'm weak now, but I'll become strong someday!"

"It's alright if you don't need me now, but I will work hard to repay this kindness!"

"So at least tell me where I can find you when I become the King of Thieves!"

Rhodes found the girl in front of him quite interesting. After thinking for a moment, he casually gave her a favor to activate the switch.

The girl caught it hurriedly and held it carefully in her hands.

"W-what is this?"

"This is a special mechanism that can remotely activate the blessing. The main god who stores the divine blood inside is Ravirna, the guardian god of thieves."

Rod put his index and middle fingers together and poked the girl's forehead.

"You will receive the most comprehensive training if you go to Bergen, the city of sinners. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will meet you again in Orario."

"Alright, I should go now."

The girl was anxiously about to say something, but the moment she looked up, the boy in front of her had already disappeared.

She looked around frantically, but couldn't find that familiar figure. In the end, she lowered her head in disappointment, staring at the exquisite mechanism in her hand.

"The City of Sinners... Orario..."

After the girl had been lost in thought for some time, a slightly flirtatious voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Hey? Why are you spacing out in the middle of the street? That's dangerous!"

The girl turned around and saw a blond man with orange eyes and a feathered hat staring at her curiously.

The aura emanating from the other person was quite different from that of ordinary people.

Are you a deity?

The man lowered the brim of his hat, and upon hearing the question, a smug smile crept onto his lips.

"Hmph, my brilliance can no longer be hidden. That's right, I am the famous god Hermes!"

The man struck what he thought was an incredibly handsome pose, tossed his orange hair with a flourish, then closed his eyes, ready to receive the girl's expected praise and amazement.

However, the expected scream did not come.

The girl simply gave a curt "Oh," and then continued to ask in a tone as if she were asking for directions.

Do you know how to get to Bergen, the city of sinners?

Hermes stumbled and nearly fell. He awkwardly steadied himself, holding his wide-brimmed hat which had almost come off, and let out a long sigh with a wry smile.

"Is my style becoming unpopular these days...?"

"Putting aside your complete disregard for my reaction! Why would a young girl like you want to go to that kind of hell?"

The girl spoke earnestly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"The boy who rescued me from prison said I could receive a complete upbringing there. I want to become the King of Thieves and then have the ability to repay him!"

Beneath the brim of his hat, Hermes' orange-yellow eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Oh...did he say his name?"

"No."

This god, known for his wit and cunning, fell completely silent.

He could tell that the girl in front of him was not lying.

In fact, Hermes appeared here because he noticed the unusual behavior of the City of Sinners, which had suddenly become completely isolated from the outside world in recent days.

He was commissioned by Uranus, the guild's underground chief god, to investigate the situation and ensure that the imprisoned evil gods were not causing any major trouble.

Could it be that the mysterious young man she mentioned knows the reason for the strange changes happening in the City of Sinners?

Otherwise, no normal person would ever say something as absurd as "letting the other person enter the city of sinners and be trained."

Unless... he hates her so much that he wants her to die.

"...Didn't you ever doubt what the other person said?"

The girl held up the peculiar, exquisitely designed and complexly structured mechanism in her hand.

“He saved me, and I also used the mechanism he gave me to activate the grace without the help of the main god.”

What the hell? !
