The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Among the crowd, a blood-red magic circle and a string of spells appeared out of thin air.

"Ms. Lilia, Mr. Hyde, please try to remember this spell."

Hyde was deeply impressed when he saw this spell, "Isn't this the spell that young man used?"

"Ye Xiao, my name is Ye Xiao." Ye Xiao reminded.

"What is this...?" Only Lilia was a little confused, but she still faithfully memorized the spell structure in her mind. With her memory, this was not a difficult task.

"This is a healing holy light spell. Miss Lilia, when you go back, try to see if you can use this spell to restore the soul damage of the flesh puppet operator." Ella said.

Eh? Is the healing holy light array blood red? Lilia was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask.

"Mr. Hyde." Ella looked at the old man again, "How are you doing?"

"I am blessed by the gods and everything is very peaceful." Hyde bowed respectfully, "I am currently studying Cynthia's blood and my own miracle magician's blood, but I am ashamed to say that I have not made any particularly great discoveries."

“That’s fine. If you need funding, just ask Butler Morik.” Ella waved her hand. “I hope you can continue your research. This is also very important to me.”

"Blood of the Miracle Magician?" Lilia's eyes widened. "Is this old man the descendant of the Miracle Magician?!"

"To be honest, my magic talent is basically the last in the academy." Hyde smiled bitterly, "I have completely lost the face of our ancestors."

"I once read in a book that miracle casters are best at space-time spells. Have you ever tried something similar?" Lilia asked curiously.

"Space-time spells... This type of spell is forbidden in Aslan and is considered heresy by the Rune Mage Association." Hyde was a little confused. "I have never come across anything like this, and my family has never mentioned such a thing."

"That's strange." Lilia bit her fingertips lightly. "I haven't seen many records about miracle magicians, but I have seen space-time spells in the royal library. I can find a chance to copy them down."

"This lady is a member of the royal family?" This time it was Hyde's turn to be surprised. "I thought you and Mr. Ye were both from Dongyang Continent."

"I'm not from Dongyang Continent, I'm from another world." Ye Xiao corrected.

"It's a long story, but I have the blood of Dongyang Continent." Lilia shrugged, not intending to explain too much, but turned her eyes to Ye Xiao again, "Hey, what is the other world you are talking about?"

"He just likes to brag," Hyde said.

"I really am from another world." Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, "You will gradually come into contact with many people like me who call themselves 'players' emerging from various places. I just appeared a little early so you don't know much about me yet."

Seeing Ye Xiao's serious look, Hyde's eyes widened, "Ah? Are you really from another world!?"

“……”Ye Xiao wanted to give the old man a hammer.

"Is it so magical?" Lilia was a little excited when she heard it. She felt that believers would not lie in front of the gods, so what this person said was likely to be true. "What is your world like?"

"It's a little hard to describe. We don't have magic there, but our mechanical technology is very advanced... um... probably a few hundred years more advanced than the steam machinery of the Kingdom of Valen..." Ye Xiao picked up a branch and tried to describe the Blue Star with poor language while drawing.

"Wow, I kind of want to go and see it." The black-haired girl stroked her chest, her purple eyes full of longing, "The steel jungle of skyscrapers sounds much more beautiful than the Loren Empire."

"I can only say that every family has its own problems." Ye Xiao clapped his hands and threw away the branch. "The young people there get up before the sun rises every day to study, and do their homework until the night market closes before going back to bed."

"Eh... that seems a bit tiring. I can rarely read for so long in a day." Lilia scratched her head. "Mr. Ye, have you read so many books before? Then you must have a lot of knowledge."

Ye Xiao had a complicated expression.

"If Miss Lilia is interested in these things, you can find an opportunity to ask Mr. Ye to tell you slowly later," Ella promptly resolved the question that she didn't know how to answer. "Mr. Ye, please tell everyone about what you encountered in the Howling Mountains first."

"This... this story might be a bit long, is that okay?"

"No problem. I only summoned a wisp of your soul consciousness. You should also have the perception of your main body. If there is something important to deal with, you can return at any time." The two of them explained it to everyone in a humorous way.

"Okay." Ye Xiao nodded.

……

Go back to two days ago.

After recuperating in Liangqiu Village, Ye Xiao rushed to the Howling Mountains without stopping.

This is the pass leading to Storm Harbor from the territory of Valonde.

From afar, it is a stretch of steep and rugged mountains. The dark black slopes on the mountainside look like scars growing on the surface of green plants, becoming denser as you go up.

In the rift valley near the foot of the mountain, a solid miasma covered the entire forest, and faintly one could hear the howling of a monster like a mountain ape echoing in the valley.

Some local villagers also said that it was actually the call of the dead, and there was an entrance to the underworld in the deepest part of the mountains.

But in any case, these groundless rumors eventually gave rise to the name of the valley.

Chapter 49: Encounter in Gray Gold Town

Although there was information about the Miracle Magician's Tomb in the previous life, Ye Xiao still had to find the specific location by himself.

At the entrance of the valley of the Howling Mountains, there is a small town called Graygold Town.

The town got its name from the magic crystal ore that is abundant in the nearby mountains. In addition, it is the only way from Storm Harbor to the Imperial City. Therefore, even though there are miasma everywhere in the nearby mountains and forests, the people of Loren have still carved out a new world for themselves here.

Compared to Liangqiu Village, which is desolate due to the epidemic, Huijin Town is obviously more popular.

Densely packed buildings are built along the undulating and winding main road. Horse-drawn carriages and miners carrying sacks can be seen coming and going everywhere. Many vendors are setting up stalls on the street to sell stones dug out from unknown places.

Ye Xiao found a stable to house the horse he was riding. It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. He planned to find a place to rest first and make preparations to go up the mountain.

As an adventurer, the first place you look for when you arrive at a human gathering place is the local tavern, which can provide almost everything an adventurer needs - food, water, accommodation, and information.

The stable owner gave Ye Xiao a general explanation of the way to find the tavern, but even so, the various stone bridges and paths that went up and down the uneven terrain still made Ye Xiao a little confused.

He had never been very good at finding his way.

"Hey, little brother!" As he looked around, an old man wearing a simple jacket and with a scruffy beard came over and stuffed a stone into Ye Xiao's hand. "The gray gold leaked from the Imperial Mine, two gold coins, this thing belongs to you."

Ye Xiao reacted quickly and put his hands behind his back immediately, "No, no, don't give me these crap."

He had seen many such unscrupulous merchants in his previous life. They would simply force things into your hands and ask for money. If you didn't give them, they would pull you over and accuse you of stealing their things.

"Tsk." The bearded uncle was just thinking that this young man was trying to rip him off because he saw a stranger from another place, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cautious. He walked aside in disappointment, and then he saw another stranger walking out of the alley nearby, so he hurriedly approached him.

Ye Xiao was still looking at the road when he heard an argument nearby.

"Someone is stealing something. This foreign woman is stealing something!"

"I didn't, you stuffed it into my hand!"

Ye Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and sure enough, the unscrupulous businessman who had just stuffed stones had caught another victim.

The girl being dragged by the bearded uncle has black hair, wears a brown forest travel cloak and carries a crude dwarven longbow. This outfit is obviously a mix and match style, and I guess she is also a player.

There were no players who had arrived at the large cities at this point in time, but it was still four or five days away from the big crossing, so it was normal for other players to appear in such small settlements.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, they will shoot each other in the back. Ye Xiao was in no mood to meddle in the affairs of a player he was not familiar with. It was not a life-and-death situation anyway, so he just let that girl learn a lesson.

"Hey, Ye Xiao!?" Who would have thought that the captured female player actually called out Ye Xiao's name.

This surprised Ye Xiao a little. He turned around and walked over in confusion.

"What are you going to do? I warn you not to meddle in other people's business." When the bearded uncle saw Ye Xiao approaching, he showed a ferocious expression.

"Ye Xiao? It's really you! Help me! This person has been accusing me of stealing!" The girl's eyes lit up as if she had found a life-saving straw.

"Who framed you? You shameless outsiders want to team up to steal things from me, right? I'm telling you, I'm not someone you can easily bully!"

Without saying a word, Ye Xiao slapped the bearded uncle on the back of the neck with his backhand. The force was injected into the middle-aged man, who had just been shouting loudly, and his legs went limp and he fell to the ground, fainting.

"What are you doing?!" "They are beating people up! There are outsiders here who are stealing things and are beating people up!" Several big men in simple clothes immediately came out from the surrounding alleys.

Originally, they were planning to wait until the falsely accused girl refused to admit it and tried to break free and escape before coming out from nearby to siege her. However, they did not expect that the bearded guy, their accomplice, was knocked unconscious in an instant.

In view of the skills Ye Xiao had just displayed, this group of people only dared to gather around and shout, trying to attract the guards' attention.

Ye Xiao had expected this kind of trouble, so he grabbed the girl's wrist and ran into the alley.

Although this place is not as safe as the imperial city, Ye Xiao would still be caught by the town guards if he beat up too many people in the street at once. Moreover, these unscrupulous businessmen were basically in cahoots with the local guards. Ye Xiao didn't have time to deal with these troubles.

However, after hiding in a small alley, Ye Xiao saw that this group of people actually dared to chase him.

Don't blame him for being rude; there are no cameras here.

Ye Xiao let go of the girl's hand, looked at five big men rushing in from the narrow alley, stepped on the wall tiles beside him and jumped onto the head of the first big man.

He fell and intersected with the big man, and without looking back he chopped the other man's neck with a knife. Then he touched the ground and bent down to avoid the bear hug of the second big man who followed closely behind him, turned around and intersected with him again and chopped the other man's neck with a knife.

Then he kicked up the gravel on the ground, blinding the eyes of the latecomer who was sprinting behind him, and kicked him in the thigh. He avoided the fallen big man and the big man behind him who couldn't stop and was tripped by the fallen man, pulled out half a brick from the wall and walked to the front of the last big man who had just entered the alley.

Four men were knocked down in less than two seconds. No matter how stupid the last big man was, he knew to turn around and run away, but it was too late. Ye Xiao threw a brick and hit the other person's knee accurately. While the other person was kneeling on the ground due to loss of strength, he dodged and chopped his neck with a knife.

Finally, Ye Xiao turned around, stepped over the two unlucky guys who were wailing after falling down but not fainting, and punched each of them in the face.

"trouble."

Even so, Ye Xiao still felt it was a waste of time and waved his hand to signal the girl to come out of the alley.

The girl carefully stepped over several unconscious men and walked to the entrance of the alley.

Looking closer, the girl looked somewhat familiar, but Ye Xiao couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"Mu Ge!" Just at this moment, a shout came from the entrance of the alley, and another male player dressed in a mixed style trotted over, "Mu Ge, why are you here? I was looking for you at the intersection just now and didn't see you."

Pastoral? This name was beginning to sound familiar to Ye Xiao, and his forgotten memories gradually came to him.

"Oh, isn't this Ye Xiao? Haha, I'm lucky to meet a classmate here." The boy who greeted him had a shallow scar on his nose. Ye Xiao looked at him and suddenly remembered.

It turned out that these two guys were his classmates before he traveled through time.

It’s not Ye Xiao’s fault that he can’t remember. After all, he was reborn when he returned home after the college entrance examination. In other words, he hasn’t seen these two people for almost twenty years, so it would be strange if he could remember them.

Chapter 50: Old Acquaintances in the Tavern

The noisy pub was bustling with people talking.

The air was a little hot and filled with the smell of alcohol.

Ye Xiao chose a table in the corner and sat down. Opposite him sat two classmates he had just met.

"Why do I feel like you've changed so much in just a few days? Ye Xiao."

The person who spoke was Zhu Jun, another male classmate Ye Xiao had just met.

The girl next to her, Dong Muge, didn't say much after being rescued by Ye Xiao. She didn't even say thank you and just kept drinking mead in silence.

"They're almost the same. I see you've changed a lot, too." Ye Xiao smiled, staring at the scar on the other's nose.

"Haha."

Although it was just a meeting of classmates, the atmosphere between the three people was strange and weird.

"Where are you planning to go next?" Zhu Jun started the conversation again.

"I've taken on a small mission and might go to the mountain to take a look." Ye Xiao said vaguely.

"To the Gray Gold Mine?"

"almost."

"Then let's go together?" Zhu Jun raised his eyebrows. "It just so happens that we are also planning to go to the mine to dig some materials."

"No need for that." Ye Xiao refused directly.

"We're all on the way. We're not familiar with the place, so we can take care of each other." Zhu Jun turned his head and looked at the girl next to him, "Mu Ge, don't you think so?"

"Oh, yes, haha." Dong Muge smiled, but his eyes were only on the roast goose on the table.

"Muge, if you're hungry, eat something."

“…I’m not hungry.”

"How can you not be hungry?" Zhu Jun lowered his head and frowned to observe the girl's expression. "You have been hungry for too long and your stomach is hallucinating. Eat something quickly. Don't starve yourself."

Dong Muge then scooped a little into his bowl and took a bite. Then his expression suddenly changed slightly, "I... I'm going to the toilet."

"Oh my god, how are we going to find the toilet in this damn place? I'll accompany you."

"No...no." Dong Muge stood up and walked towards the bartender at the bar.

"Alas, I scared her these past few days." Zhu Jun sighed and flipped the roast goose with the wooden fork in his hand. "Monsters, jungles... This whole world still feels like a dream to me."

"Where are your other companions?" Ye Xiao asked calmly.

"They...ah, there are no other companions." Zhu Jun paused, "In such a vast wilderness, it's already very lucky to meet someone I know."

"That's right." Ye Xiao nodded.

"So let's go together, Ye Xiao. It's much safer if there are three of us together." Zhu Jun made another invitation.

Ye Xiao took a sip of mead, and the wooden cup made a slight muffled sound when it hit the edge of the table.
