A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

She seemed to be deliberately guiding Bray, fighting him at a certain rhythm, and Zhou was naturally defeated.

Bray noticed that in the abyss, there was not only the scattered golden hair, but also teardrops rising from below.

Tears rose to the sky.

Finally, raindrops began to fall on Bray's shoulder.

The girl's tears turned into rain, symbolizing the end of her mental world.

The story of the past ten days or so passed in the blink of an eye.

It happened so fast that there wasn't even time to write down the details of the story.

Bray felt his shoulder getting wet with tears.

But what soaked Bree's shoulder wasn't the rain falling from the sky, but someone else's tears.

"Bray, Bray, don't die." Sometime during the night, Levy was lying on top of him, looking pitiful QAQ.

Bray opened his eyes and patted Levy's head.

He was not in "Menggamar" at this moment, but on a ship.

The short story has ended... and it was a story that yielded no results.

Aside from being fed a mouthful of dog food and then being abused, they didn't get anything in return.

“I’m awake,” Bray said, mimicking Levy’s tone.

"Really?" Even after hearing Bray say that, Levy didn't believe it at first.

“I’m not so weak that I could be washed away by a wave and die,” Bray sighed.

Just how fragile am I in Levy's eyes?

"Have I been unconscious for too long?"

"For a long, long time!" Levy said earnestly, her tail standing on end.

"How long?"

"A quarter of an hour!!!" She was about to cry QAQ.

"Isn't this even less sleep than I usually get?" Bray said, speechless.

"Okay, don't be so nervous." With no other choice, Bray picked up Levy.

"Because you're not invincible, Bray, Levy is scared."

"While I'm not invincible, it's a bit much to think I'm going to die just because I got hit once," Bray said irritably.

"Too 'what'?" Levy tilted her head, asking if she didn't understand.

"That's too much," Bray patiently explained to Levy.

He also wiped away Lebby's tears with his hands.

Unlike Ulitina's tears, Levy's tears were ice-cold.

"Oh!" Levy sniffed, and stopped crying.

After some time, Levy looked left and right, and only after confirming that Bray was alright did she become happy again.

Her joyful demeanor at this moment was quite different from that of the still-shaken tourists.

Other tourists were also terrified by the earlier collision.

It seems that I haven't been trapped in that mental world for very long.

"Oh right, the pendant." I was able to wake up so early thanks to the pendant Bai Mian gave me.

Although the pendant was cracked, the fragments should still be there.

"Where did it go?" Bray was shocked. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the pendant that Whiteface had given him.

The last piece of evidence proved that Bai Mian had looked for his things, but they were gone.

This made Bray unsure for a moment whether he had been hallucinating.

"Brave, what are you looking for?" Levy asked, wrinkling her nose as she cheered up.

Since Bray didn't die, Levy naturally wasn't afraid.

“It’s okay, that thing is probably lost.” Bray shook his head, indicating to Levy that she didn’t need to sniff around so hard.

Honestly, I've only been an adventurer for less than two years, but I've encountered more adventures than I did in the previous ten years.

If you were to call it a coincidence, Bray wouldn't believe it.

It was as if, from the depths of the universe, a pair of hands were pushing me in a certain direction.

"I'm so sorry for causing panic among the passengers." The captain came out and solemnly apologized to all the passengers.

He said a lot more after that, but Bray wouldn't listen.

He was still thinking about the white flour.

He was someone I didn't even know, yet he helped me and even foresaw what I would encounter.

That guy...

"Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, White Face stood beside Bray.

"???" Bree was full of questions.

If he wasn't mistaken, a quarter of an hour had passed in the real world.

Didn't this guy say he had something to do and left early?

How could it only be a quarter of an hour?

That's too fast; a man can't be that fast.

"Do you think my response was too sudden?" White Face asked.

“No, it’s that I think you’re too fast,” Bray replied.

“I’m not happy,” Bai Mian continued.

"However, many times, I can use several hours as if they were just a few minutes."

“You’ve got it backwards,” Bray said instinctively, seizing the opportunity to criticize.

"It seems so, but it doesn't matter," Bai Mian said stubbornly.

"I killed a few monsters, came back and saw you were awake, so I just stopped by."

"..." Bray was a little speechless. Are there really such stubborn people in this world?

Even if he said he had a tsundere personality, Bray would believe it; maybe he's actually a beautiful girl under that helmet.

Despite his inner grumbling, Bray wasn't stupid; he still noticed some unusual phenomena.

If you look around, you'll find that everything around you has stopped.

In the entire world, only he and Bai Mian remained active.

"You stopped time?" This scene was just like the legendary time stop.

"Time stop alone can't accomplish this kind of thing," White Face casually tossed out.

If the world were simply stopped, how could they possibly speak normally?

Time stopped, which soon meant that the "time" of the air also stopped.

"It's too profound, don't explain it to me." Bray rarely tries to understand things like this.

They make it sound like they understand it and can use it.

However, he did understand what Bai Mian meant when he said he could use several hours as a few minutes.

“I won’t explain any further to you,” White Face said.

He then faced Bray and remained silent for a long time.

"Do you think you've become a little stronger?" he asked.

"No," Bray answered crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Bray never had the illusion that he had become stronger.

"You really don't have it."

"You'll encounter many more inexplicable things like this in the future, and being too weak will come at a high price."

"It's like you're saying there's no price to pay for becoming stronger." Bray strongly disagreed with Whiteface's argument.

As we all know, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and it's unlikely that someone will become powerful for no reason.

"I will help you; at least you won't die so easily."

"Why are you helping me?" Bray asked, puzzled.

Why is Bai Mian so kind to me when we're not even related?

He was very uncomfortable with Goodbray; it was as if he had suddenly gained a nanny by his side.

"If I don't help you, you will lose a lot."

“But I’m not a baby.” Bray shook his head, though he didn’t understand why Whiteface would say he would lose so much.

But he felt that if he always had someone helping him, he would eventually become very strange.

"..." Bai Mian paused for a moment, then fell into thought.

"That's true." If Whiteface continues like this, Bray won't grow at all.

When the time comes, how will he have the ability to reverse the situation on that final day?

"I originally helped you so that you could help me someday."

“But if you don’t grow at all, you can’t help me either.” Bai Mian’s tone sounded much more relieved.

"Help you?"

“Yes.” Bai Mian raised his head and looked at the frozen sky.

Another bird, which hadn't stopped, slowly flew across the sky.

"You must really want to know who I am." Whiteface knew exactly what Bray was thinking.

Aside from Bray himself, White knows him best.

“You’re right, I really wanted to know.” Bray nodded emphatically.

He was eager to know who this mysterious tin can belonged to.

“You’ll find out later,” Whiteface said, and then the strange bird in the sky landed on his helmet and began to preen its feathers.

"That kind of talk again." Bray knew the other side would say something like that.

"Because if you know who I am too early, it will be very confusing."

“But you could get to know Him.” White Face pointed to the bird on his head.

"His name is Lark."

"..." Bray then noticed a bird in front of him that hadn't stopped like the others.

"Chirp!" When Hibari heard Hakumen introducing himself, he proudly raised his head.

"See you next time. Just like you said, I won't be helping you anytime soon," said the pale-faced man.

In a short period of time, White Face helped Bray with a lot of things.

For example, he slaughtered a lot of silver-level monsters and also took down the clown and the playwright.

From then on, Whiteface would simply watch silently, waiting for Bray's fate to unfold.

He desperately needs Bray to grow, he desperately needs Bray to become strong.

Otherwise, the world would end, and all important people and things would vanish into thin air.

"I hope you can make a better choice this time."

"More correct? What does that mean?" Bray frowned as he listened to Whiteface's words.

Why use the word "even more" to describe it?
