An invincible journey starting from a different race

But what did he want from me?

It can't be that kind of thing, right?

Demia patiently read the entire letter, and then became even more confused.

"How did this guy get involved with the descendants of the deep sea again?" Demia murmured in confusion. "It's only been a short time since he left the academy, but why does it feel like... his knowledge and experience are already richer than mine?"

Demia really couldn't understand what motivated his junior brother to keep exploring and encountering all kinds of troubles.

It can't be a dart, right?

Uh...it's really possible.

Demia really didn't know what to say. He could only admire his junior fellow apprentice. To some extent, he truly possessed a level of perseverance unmatched by ordinary people. No wonder he'd become a quasi-arcanist in less than twenty years at the academy, and immediately put that same perseverance elsewhere after leaving... While that place seemed a bit strange, thinking about the popularity of Aesop's Fables, Demia had to admit that Aesop had also achieved great success in this field.

This is probably true genius.

Even in the way of a bodyguard, one must reach heights that ordinary people cannot reach.

After all, even the brave man has done that, so it is not difficult to understand why you should go to the beach to catch mermaids.

After reading the entire letter, Demia realized that Aesop was going to face a more difficult enemy and invited Demia to help.

If that's the case, the hero over there must be thinking the same thing.

Demia was surprised that an enemy that even Aesop found difficult to deal with had invited both her and Yuti. She wondered how powerful the enemy must be to warrant such a fuss from Aesop.

It seems to be quite interesting indeed.

After browsing all the content, Demia decided to take a look.

After all, defeating such a powerful enemy would surely yield something, right? Just like the more powerful the dungeon, the higher the chance of finding high-quality loot. Demia had always been a fan of such things.

Moreover, he could make Aesop owe him a favor, although he didn't know whether that favor would be useful in the future given Aesop's thickness of skin.

But what can I say? It's better than nothing, what if it's useful?

The only question now is whether the brave man in front of her will unite with her and agree to Aesop's request.

Thinking of this, Demia raised his head involuntarily and looked at Youdi on the other side.

After reading the entire content of the letter, Youdi's expression was so ugly that it could not be described.

"Patrick, huh..." Youdi held the letter in her hand, gnashing her teeth. "Just wait and see if I can turn you into Patrick."

...Well, it seems that the letter she received is different from mine?

Demia was thoughtful.

……

On the other hand, Ye Lan felt that this time, everything was truly foolproof.

She has left Dream Town and is with Miss Nolen, whom she has been thinking about.

Because the last time Aesop left, he mentioned that he would be in trouble, and originally wanted to take Nolan with him, but carrying a coffin and a puppet was too conspicuous, so he let Nolan find a place to hide first.

Wouldn’t Ye Lan be excited then?

Aesop was going on a long journey, and he had escaped after being "hunted down". No one knew when he would return. He was also afraid that Miss Nolen would be implicated, so he asked Nolen to hide herself. All of this was telling Ye Lan that she finally had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

This time is different from before. This time it is a real chance to elope with Miss Nolen!

Ye Lan had already made a perfect plan. She'd built a small house far from Dream Town, preferably in the deserted suburbs, where she'd let Norn hide while she took care of her. She didn't want Norn to be discovered by Aesop's enemies, so she kept her from leaving the house. This way, she was the only one who could contact the outside world. And if she could find an opportunity to deliberately exaggerate, creating the illusion that Aesop had abandoned Norn, wouldn't she be able to... hehehehe, when Miss Norn was heartbroken?

When she thought of this, Ye Lan couldn't help but smile.

Although this behavior seems a bit despicable... but there is no other way. This is all for Miss Nolen's future happiness. It's okay to be despicable!

Ye Lan firmly believed that only he could bring happiness to Miss Nolen, and definitely not that bastard named Aesop!

Of course, even if the ultimate goal is not achieved, Ye Lan will still try his best to delay it as long as possible, so that he can have more opportunities to be alone with Miss Nolen.

Thinking of this, Ye Lan's smile grew even wider.

She was like a husband who had just returned home from an outing, very happy to come home, and pushed open the door: "Ms. Nolen, I'm back... eh?"

Then he found that Nolen was packing, as if he was about to go on a long journey.

Ye Lan was stunned: "Ms. Noren, what are you doing?"

Hearing Ye Lan's voice, Norn turned his head and looked at her. After saying "Oh", he said, "I'm leaving."

"Leave?" Ye Lan couldn't believe it. "Why are you leaving now? Our little love... ahem, this cabin has just been built, why are you leaving?!"

Norn stood up, showed Ye Lan the parchment in his hand, and said, "He encountered some problems and asked me for help, so naturally I have to leave."

He, he, he, it's him again!

As soon as Ye Lan heard the word "he", he was so angry that he trembled all over and felt that the whole world was wrong.

In this state, Ye Lan didn't care about anything else. He rushed directly to Norn and snatched Aesop's letter.

Of course, Noren didn't stop her.

But after Ye Lan read through it quickly, he became even angrier.

"What's that? Didn't he bring this trouble upon himself?" Ye Lan said, "And is it really worth it for you to do this for Happy?"

Noren tilted his head and asked, "What does worthy... mean?"

"It's worth it!" Ye Lan grabbed Norn's hands and said excitedly, "Ms. Norn! Although he created you, you are not his toy!"

"But I am his toy."

"I'm not talking about this toy, but another toy!" Ye Lan said, "Although you may have been created to be a toy, now you have your own consciousness and are an individual life. You should no longer be his toy!"

"Is that so?"

"Of course!" Ye Lan continued, "And would you really be happy making toys?"

"Yes."

Ye Lan: “…”

No, no, we can’t stay at this angle for too long, we need to change the approach.

Ye Lan felt that it was time for him to come clean.

"Ms. Nolen!" She looked at Nolen with extremely sincere eyes, "Do you feel... happy when you are with me?"

When asking this question, Ye Lan's entire mechanical heart was trembling slightly.

This is the most critical moment, which determines whether she, the mistress, can replace the original wife... Bah, bah, bah, it is obvious that that guy is the mistress, and I am the original wife!

Thinking this way, Ye Lan became more determined.

Noren hadn't expected Ye Lan to ask this question. At Ye Lan's request, she thought about it carefully and nodded: "Happy."

Hearing Norn's admission, Ye Lan was so happy that he almost blurted out "Do you like me?", but he changed it to "Are you willing to do what I like with me?"

"To be with you... to do something I like?" Noren hesitated. "What kind of thing?"

"As long as you like it!" Seeing that he had the possibility of successfully getting promoted, Ye Lan became even more excited. "No matter what you want to do, whether it's something you've tried before or not, as long as you're willing, I can accompany you to do it. As long as you're willing to let me stay by your side, because the key point... is not about love at all, but about the two of us!"

The second half of the sentence is almost a confession.

Although Ye Lan had never experienced a confession of love, she felt that this confession of hers would definitely impress Miss Nolen.

After listening to Ye Lan's confession, Norn frowned slightly: "But some things... don't feel good."

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Ye Lan thought that Norn was still unable to get over the hurdle of her status, so she launched a final attack. "Abandon those rules! Abandon those moral constraints! Miss Norn! You are free, please do what you want! Of course... please come with me!"

Norn looked into Ye Lan's eyes, and then under Ye Lan's expectant gaze, he slowly nodded: "Okay."

Success! I did it!

At that moment, Ye Lan seemed to have gained the whole world!

Hahahaha, I’m on top, I’m on top, I’m on top!

I finally replaced that guy's position and successfully became Miss Nolen's close friend!

Ye Lan was extremely excited and asked Noren: "Then Miss Noren, what do you want to do most?"

Nolen replied: "I want to be by his side and be toyed with by him."

Ye Lan's smile gradually froze: "Ah...huh?"

Is there something wrong?

"What you just said has made me determined." Noren took out a piece of rope from somewhere, then looked at Ye Lan and said seriously, "I have decided to tie you up and let him play with you together with me."

Sister Sanwusi, why is there more water?

When everyone learned who Aesop had called, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock.

Aesop also noticed everyone's reaction and asked curiously, "Is there any problem?"

"This...isn't there still a problem? Are you crazy?" Stank couldn't help but say, "These women all have a grudge against you, right? Besides Noren, don't your senior sister and that brave man want to kill you with their own hands? You actually called them both over here. What is this? Are you raising a Gu?"

Gan Qiu folded his arms across his chest, nodding in agreement as he listened to what Stank said. "Indeed, I also think Aesop is crazy. I think we can erect a tombstone for you in a few days. You can also think about what to write on your epitaph now, and we will help you carve it when the time comes."

Aesop thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "I will write that a man more powerful than Ganqiu is buried here."

"Are you sick?!" Gan Qiu was immediately furious, "Are you looking for death?!"

"What's wrong? My magic power is indeed stronger than yours."

"Ah...magic? Oh, that's true."

"Otherwise, what do you think it is?" Aesop said, "It is about length, not strength."

"You're really looking for death."

Ganqiu was about to pounce on him immediately, as if he would not give up until he had fought to the death with Aesop. However, after he had been in this stance for a long time, he saw that Stank and Jer, as well as the three mermaid sisters on the other side, were just looking at him, with no intention of coming forward to stop him, so he felt a little stiff.

Damn, can't you guys just come and stop me? What if Aesop really kills me?

Really, you have no tact at all and you still have the nerve to call me brother.

Gan Qiu muttered to himself as he silently withdrew his hand, and what stood out was his heart.

No, how can this be from the heart? This is not to be petty with brothers.

Since no one gave him a way out, Gan Qiu gave himself a way out in his heart.

So the topic returned to the helpers Aesop invited, of course mainly to Demia and Youti.

Aesop said, "I don't think they should have any conflicts."

"Why is that?" Stank was puzzled.

"Look, there aren't any conflicts between us. Even if there are, they're only minor ones," Aesop said. "So there shouldn't be any major conflicts between them either."

It would have been better if Aesop hadn't explained it, but this explanation left everyone feeling even more confused.

"Wait, wait." Jer raised his hand to stop Aesop, and then asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Why not?" Aesop asked Jer, "What is the relationship between us?"

"Yes, brother."

"What about something more detailed?"

"More detailed?" Jer's brows furrowed slightly. "What do you mean by more detailed?"

Gan Qiu seemed to understand something and asked uncertainly, "You're not talking about people of the same trade, are you?"

Aesop immediately gave Ganqiu a thumbs-up: "As expected, only you can answer such a detailed question."

Gan Qiu: “…”

Damn, I’m being praised, but why do I still feel offended?

So what if we are all like-minded? Could it be that...

"That's right. The reason we're so harmonious is because we're all brothers in the same boat." Aesop said, "The same goes for them. They're all comrades..."

"Okay, okay, I understand your train of thought." Stank raised his hand quickly. "Don't go on. That's enough. No need to explain it so clearly."

Even though they were mentally prepared every time, Aesop was still able to shock the world again and again with his unique way of thinking, so they didn't want to try to understand Aesop anymore. They just let it go. After all, it was Aesop's own trouble and it had nothing to do with them.

However, the three of them understood, but the three mermaid sisters on the side could not understand. They had no idea what Aesop was talking about. They just knew that Aesop seemed to have asked someone very powerful to come and help, but it would cost a certain price. They immediately became more grateful to Aesop.

Then Aesop asked them, "How do you mermaids fight on a daily basis?"
