Who are you calling a stable boy?!

"Wait a minute, if we go this way, who knows what kind of mess Joseph might do by burning the city down?"

"That's true. How so?"

"Let's sneak in."

Do you have a cardboard box?

"We're getting down to business."

Xueqing turned her head and nudged Zheng Jing's face.

“I have learned the art of concealing one’s breath. Let’s go underground and sneak in.”

"That's so inefficient..."

Zheng Jing muttered to himself, his eyes darting around.

"Hey!"

He had a sudden inspiration.

"I have an idea!"

As he spoke, he opened his backpack and took out a semi-transparent cloth.

"What's this?"

Xueqing craned her neck to look at it.

"The invisibility cloth that Suke made was made to a specification that would work even in the modern world. I wonder if it will work here..."

As he spoke, Zheng Jing wrapped the cloth around one of his arms.

The cloth fluttered in the wind, and Zheng Jing's arm actually disappeared!

Under Xue Qing's surprised gaze, Zheng Jing moved his wrapped arm and then grinned.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

-

Joseph sat with his eyes closed on Gallia's throne.

This man, who was once jokingly called the Incompetent King because he had no magical talent, still called himself the Incompetent King after awakening the power of nothingness.

He hoped this would cause him pain.

But as time passed, he could no longer recapture the tears he shed when he caused his younger brother's death.

Was there nothing more that would make him regret it or cause him more distress?

"His Majesty."

The familiar's voice made Joseph open his eyes.

"How is it, Sheffield?"

"The two coalition forces are currently in a standoff with Albion. With our men left behind to cause trouble, we believe we can buy at least three more days."

"Really."

Joseph rose from his throne with a smile.

"Have the flints been prepared?"

Everything is ready.

The flint is a special gemstone that only elves can make. It contains a large amount of fire energy gathered by the elves. If detonated through special means, just one flintstone can burn half of the capital of Gallia to the ground.

Of course, such a thing takes a lot of time to make, and Joseph only has four of them now.

He's going to use both of them in Gallia.

There are two more, which he wants to take to the Fire Dragon Mountains.

"very good."

He smiled, but didn't even glance at Sheffield; his gaze seemed to drift into the distance, as if his mind and body had already flown to the other side of the world.

"Let's go, it's time to face the end of the world."

"Lao Qing, he was quite polite."

--"who?!"

The unfamiliar voice prompted Sheffield to immediately shield Joseph.

"I will not change my name or surname. I am your Grandpa Zheng, and she is your Grandma Cao."

As he spoke, Zheng Jing pulled up the invisibility cloth, revealing himself and Xue Qing together.

"I've come here today specifically to collect your money!"

-

In the height of summer, earth-shattering changes were taking place on the continent of Kharkkinia.

Joseph, the wicked King of Gallia and an incompetent ruler, was defeated by the combined forces of Tristan and Romania. His many crimes were made public after his death.

After that, Charlotte Elena Orrea, the new queen of Gallia, ascended the throne.

As for the world-destroying dragon, the legendary ancient dragon, the dragon of Anishend, although this event is recorded in the secret histories of Tristan and Romania, it was not publicized to the common people.

Just like the Sun and Moon Knights who displayed their might in this battle to save the world, their true achievements are known only to a select few...

-

"Ok?"

Zheng Jingyi raised an eyebrow as he and Xueqing returned home.

"What's wrong?"

Xueqing squatted in front of the refrigerator, taking out the beef brisket she needed for lunch, and asked a question without looking up.

"Old Lan called me."

"Old Lan?"

"Sōyōsuke."

"......who?"

Xue Qing raised her head and stared at Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing was looking at the message Lao Lan sent on the panel with a subtle expression.

Old Lan said he had found a dimension that might be suitable for the two of them to visit together.

Old Lan also said...

It seemed to be a strange place where ninja groups were the main body of society.

Chapter 174: A Good Opportunity!

Old Lan shouted, "Of course Zheng Jing has to go!"

Once they arrived, he immediately understood why Lao Lan had said this place was suitable for the two of them to take a walk together.

Based on the difference in the flow of time, if Old Blue stays in this dimension for a year, only about three hours will pass in the Soul Society.

Even if Lao Lan is very busy, he can still find the time to work out of three hours.

If Zheng Jing stays in this dimension for a year, about eight hours will pass in his own dimension.

After discovering this, Zheng Jing temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​inviting Xueqing to come along.

The two brothers met in a mountain forest.

Since they had plenty of time, Zheng Jing took out a picnic blanket, and the two of them sat down and chatted while drinking monkey wine from a gourd.

From Soul Society to Hueco Mundo, from Seireitei to Qitianfu.

During the gossip, the elders of the Shihouin family went mad and started pressuring Hakiya to get married.

Getting down to business, Captain Hikifune is about to head to the Zero Division, and Old Blue is already prepared to become the captain of the Twelfth Division.

Rather than exploring unfamiliar dimensions as a team, it's more like the two brothers finally found some free time and went on a trip together.

As they talked, Zheng Jing also mentioned that player slots could be exchanged at the Sacred Arena's exchange shop.

Aizen pondered for a moment, deciding that it was fine to bring Suke and the other palace masters from Qitianfu into the courtyard first, but the only one he could try to get into Seireitei at this stage was Yoruichi.

This view coincides with Zheng Jing's.

"Speaking of which, Lao Lan, what are the plans for this trip?"

Chewing on the snacks he had taken from the old dwarf's counter, savoring the authentic dwarf-made garlic lamb sausage, Zheng Jing's voice was somewhat muffled.

"Old Zheng, what about you? Any thoughts?"

Putting down his chopsticks, Aizen smiled and looked at Zheng Jing, asking in return.

"Um--"

Zheng Jing swallowed the meat in his mouth with monkey wine and waved his hand.

"When I go out to play, I basically just go wherever the road takes me."

He's never made a single travel plan in all his years.

Why is it that he almost always travels with Xueqing?

He never had to think about where to go, what to eat, or where to stay.

Just follow along, eat your food, and stay comfortably, and that's all.

"Um......"

Old Lan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

“I’ve been here alone before, and I spent almost three months exploring this place, so I know a bit about it. Why don’t I tell you what I know, and we can think about it together?”

"Good good!"

Zheng Jing nodded vigorously and sat up straight.

Seeing this, Aizen couldn't help but smile and shake his head, then began to explain his understanding of this plane.

After speaking for a while, Aizen noticed the change in Zheng Jing's expression and paused.

"Old Zheng, have you been here before?"

"I've never been here before."

Zheng Jing shook his head.

"But the more you talk about it, the more familiar it sounds to me..."

you do not say.

The Third Shinobi World War has already been mentioned, how could it not sound familiar?

“It seems you know this place better than I do.”

"It's hard to say, seeing is believing."

Zheng Jing shook his head.

According to Lao Lan, he had tried to obtain various information about this dimension from some of the ninjas he had personally subdued.

This includes information about the relative peace between the five nations not long after the end of the Third Shinobi World War.

"Old Lan, you still haven't triggered any main quests?"

Aizen shook his head.

Since becoming a player, his main quest module has remained completely unchanged.

"That's a bit..."

Zheng Jing scratched his cheek.

"How about we visit all five major countries and five major villages, experience the local customs and culture, and really... relax?"

Upon hearing this, Aizen's smile became much warmer.

He looked at Zheng Jing and nodded.
