The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Ye Xiao sighed softly, turned around and walked towards Gratia.

The little maid was surprisingly well-behaved at this time, following Ye Xiao without saying a word.

……

It was noon in Gray Gold Town.

Unlike the situation when Ella and her group left, the road that was crowded and bustling at that time was now silent.

The whole town fell into deathly silence. Countless large trees grew wildly everywhere, crushing the tall buildings. The treetops extended into the windows, breaking through the walls and roof tiles, swaying in the wind.

It was as if a dense forest had forcibly occupied this town that originally belonged to humans.

On the branches swaying in the wind, bloody corpses were hung densely.

When the wind blew, the blood fell like raindrops.

"The effect of the experiment seems to be average."

In the empty tavern, two figures were talking quietly.

"Could it be that your old classmate's ability is too unexpected?"

"You said, Ye Xiao?"

The man who was speaking was not very old and had a shallow scar on his nose.

If Ye Xiao was present, it would not be difficult for him to recognize that this was the classmate "Zhu Jun" whom he met in Gray Gold Town at that time.

"Heh...he is indeed quite surprising."

Chapter 3.5: First Visit to Storm Harbor (k)

Ye Xiao walked back to the mountain beside the mine and picked up the horse that was still there.

It seemed to be noon already, and the coldness in the forest was finally not so severe anymore.

He untied the reins from the tree trunk, looked at Gretia's fluffy head, and finally spoke first: "Okay, I'm a little uncomfortable with you being so quiet all of a sudden."

"You..." The little maid put her hands behind her back and gently kicked the small stone on the ground, "Will you blame me?"

"Blame you?... Blame you for what?" Ye Xiao was a little surprised.

"If I had given him the Stygian Rock in the beginning, perhaps none of this would have happened."

"Well." Ye Xiao waved his hand. "Everyone has their own destiny. If it were me, I wouldn't have given it to you at that time. It looked so suspicious."

In fact, even if Ye Xiao wanted to give it at that time, he would not force it if Grettia didn't want to.

He is the one who wants to pursue a certain result, and he is the one who makes the choice, so he will not let his companions pay the price for his choice, even if the price seems insignificant.

"Hearing your mature tone, I would have thought you were in your fifties or sixties." The little maid seemed to relax a little. She walked to the side of the horse and raised her hands towards Ye Xiao.

"What are you doing? Performing the French military salute?" Ye Xiao patted the horse's head gently, then turned around and saw the little maid's posture, feeling a little strange.

"Are you stupid? How am I supposed to get on this horse when it's so high?"

"You've been there before, haven't your legs been that short... Hey, don't do it, I'm wrong, isn't that okay, hey!"

Finally, after putting the noisy little maid on the back of the horse, Ye Xiao also got on the horse. He saw that the dark owl named "Eunice" was still squatting on the treetop not far away, so he asked, "Then...Eunice, do you have a place to stay later?"

"I don't know... maybe I should just go back to his cabin and live like this." The Dark Owl's voice was still harsh, just like the voice of a crow which probably couldn't produce any pleasant sound.

"I can give you a ride somewhere else if you want."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary." Dark Owl looked at the open mine under the cliff, and the heavy iron towers were reflected in his dark eyes. "...This is my home."

Looking at this stubborn black bird, Ye Xiao was also somewhat curious about what it looked like in the past.

However, he probably won't have the chance to know the story behind it now. After all, many people don't like to talk about their past with others.

He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and drove the horse along the path in the woods with Gratia behind him.

It was just noon, so it would not be a problem to travel light and catch up with the large army advancing in the Howling Mountains.

In fact, if he wasn't in a hurry, he would have liked to visit Dong Muge who was still at Tianqin Peak.

Unfortunately, Lyra Peak is on the other side of the mountain range, and time is limited now. Perhaps I have to wait until I return from Storm Harbor to go see it.

……

Accompanied by the occasional whistling sounds in the valley, Ella, Li Cheng and others finally met Ye Xiao at the exit of the Howling Valley.

Li Cheng, who was relaxing in the leading carriage of the team and playing cards with Saint Lady and others, noticed Ye Xiao approaching slowly on horseback outside the carriage and greeted him happily: "Hey, Brother Ye, when did you come back?"

"I came back a long time ago. Did you have fun playing cards?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

"Of course I have to be happy...it's just that the Saint's card skills are just too good." As Li Cheng spoke, he saw that the copper coins he borrowed from other players in front of him were taken away by Ella with a playful smile, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Mr. Li, small gambling can bring joy, but big gambling can harm your health." Ella covered her mouth and laughed, then high-fived Freya beside her.

"Ahem, the Saint Lady is right. We have to replace the subordinates." Li Cheng's scalp tingled. This shouldn't be the case. Why is it so difficult? "Brother Ye, what do you say?"

"That's not necessary, and it's not convenient for me to change while riding a horse." What's the point of playing cards with yourself and winning your own money? Ye Xiao naturally would not join the game.

"Then Xiao Deng, you come."

"But...but you borrowed all my money, Boss."

"Cough cough." Li Cheng couldn't hold it in anymore.

"It's okay, Mr. Li. I can still lend it to you." The silver-haired girl's deep red eyes curved into crescents. Even though her charm was amazing, her cunning look still made Li Cheng feel a little uneasy.

"Please spare me, Saint Lady. If this continues, I will become your slave." Li Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He touched his chin and thought. His expression changed from sadness to joy. "But it doesn't seem to be a bad thing..."

"Don't get crazy." Ye Xiao, who was riding a horse beside the carriage, reminded.

……

After leaving the Howling Mountains and Valond, the group did not encounter any obstacles until they entered the Coastal Province.

The ordinary monsters encountered on the road were no longer a threat to this convoy.

There was no need for Ella and Ye Xiao to join the battle. Li Cheng, who had just cleared a few waves of general points, could easily repel the weak monsters that were attacking at the edge of the road by commanding the guild players.

After another three days and two nights of travel, they headed south and entered the coastal area, and the surrounding woods gradually became sparse.

Unlike Valonde, which is full of mountains and vast forests, as the woods along the way become sparse, hills covered with grasslands and wider plains gradually appear in sight.

Until a blue dividing line appeared on the horizon, the huge city standing on the coast - Storm Harbor, finally came into view.

As the name suggests, this is the largest port city under the Loren Empire.

The towering city walls made of white sandstone bricks rise up along the azure coastline. In addition to the imperial city, there are also caravans and travelers from other places traveling to and from this majestic seaport city, forming a merchant settlement that is more spectacular than the one outside the imperial city walls.

After spending several days crossing the sparsely populated mountains and wilderness, seeing the huge crowds of people and traffic jams outside the city walls gave me a unique sense of liveliness.

There were luxurious carriages with the emblem of the temple, and even though the other freight carriages guarding the front and rear of the convoy looked rather ordinary, they were able to move unimpeded in the team entering the city.

The Storm Harbor guards standing guard at the city gate saw the team from afar and trotted over to lead the members of the Seven Stars Society into the city through the side door.

Li Cheng, sitting in the freight carriage, looked at the endless queue outside the carriage and couldn't help but sigh, "Lady Saint is still very powerful. When we first entered the imperial city, we had to queue for a long time and were searched by the guards..."

“In the end, I had to slip some money to the guard before I could get in.” Ye Xiao, who was sitting nearby, helpfully added.

"Sure, you know that."

"Isn't this how everyone goes in?" Ye Xiao stretched lazily.

After successfully entering the city gate, the members of the Qi Yao Society parted ways with the Temple's convoy at the intersection behind the city gate.

This port city has a unique urban structure. The larger northern city area, which is mainly inhabited by civilians, is located on the coast of the mainland. Buildings of different heights form a huge semicircle along the seashore.

The prosperous but smaller South City is located on an island near the coast. The two urban areas are separated by a deep strait and connected by two long and spacious huge stone arch bridges.

Ella was heading to the Ocean Cathedral in the South City, while the Qi Yao Society and others needed to register at the Adventure Guild Hall in the North City in order to take on local missions.

Reluctantly parting with the Temple's convoy, Li Cheng and Ye Xiao and other guild players pushed open the door of the local Adventure Guild Hall.

As soon as they entered the door, the lively sounds of clinking wine glasses and bustling voices in the hall became a little sparse, and several eyes were fixed on the group of new visitors entering from the door.

"To be honest, the looks from these people reminded me of the feeling I had when I was late for class." Li Cheng looked around, found the guild service desk on the inside of the hall, and walked over under everyone's gaze.

"You'll get used to it. The customs of the people here are much more rough." Ye Xiao recalled his experience in Storm Harbor in his previous life and smiled.

The person serving at the front desk here is not the beautiful and plump elf like the one in the Imperial City Adventure Guild Hall, but a red-haired woman with a tricorn hat, an eye patch, and a nonchalant tone.

She lazily lay on the creaking chair. When she saw Li Cheng and Ye Xiao approaching, she had no intention of getting up. She just put her hands behind her head and asked with a grin, "Are you new to the local guild?"

"Yes, hello, miss." Li Cheng took out a certificate issued by the Adventure Guild in the Imperial City from the interlayer of his armor and placed it on the table. "We are the Adventure Guild Saint...'Seven Stars Association' from Valonde. Come here to register."

"Valonde?" Hearing Li Cheng's words, the red-haired woman just yawned and continued to lie down. "Why are you running to Storm Harbor instead of staying in the Imperial City? Can't make it in the Imperial City anymore?"

"Hahahaha" some undisguised laughter came from the side.

"...I came here to do a cross-city mission." Li Cheng ignored the other party's ridicule and continued, "I want to take on some local missions at the same time."

"Well... I'm sorry, there are no vacancies." The red-haired woman waved her hand, "Come back in a few days."

"Quota...what quota?" Li Cheng was confused.

"Registration for the guild is over, kid, go back to where you came from."

"Ah? I've never heard that the Adventure Guild needs quotas for registration?"

"I said I want it, and if you didn't hear it, it means you are not suitable for this city." The red-haired woman smiled disdainfully, "After you finish your little task, go back to Valonde and put on diapers."

"Hahahaha!" "Okay!" "Hahaha!" The laughter around became more and more outrageous.

Li Cheng's mouth twitched and he picked up the certificate on the table.

Ye Xiao also frowned slightly. Because when he arrived at Storm Harbor in his previous life, Li Cheng had already established a guild. So even though he had some expectations about the local customs and the nature of the organizations and institutions, he still didn't expect that the front desk of this adventure guild would be so arrogant?

"I'll go find Ella and ask her to help me make a..."

"That's not necessary, Brother Ye," Li Cheng put the certificate back into the armor compartment, "If we have to trouble the Saint Lady for such a thing, what else can we do?"

"Yeah, but looking at her behavior, it's probably useless even if we complain." Ye Xiao stroked his chin and looked at other guilds in the hall. "Should we teach her a lesson?"

"It's not going to end well if we beat up the staff of the Adventure Guild." Li Cheng thought for a while.

"Well... I have an idea." Ye Xiao thought about it and decided to use the method that Li Cheng used in Storm Harbor in his previous life. After all, Li Cheng, who was accustomed to the environment of the imperial city in this life, might not be able to think of a solution to the problem in this place right away.

"any solution?"

"Hello, that guild that's been laughing over there," Ye Xiao knocked on the table and looked at the red-haired girl lazily lying on the chair, "Yes, that group of people, what mission did they accept?"

"Are you stupid? Why should I tell you?" The red-haired girl looked at Ye Xiao as if he was mentally retarded.

"Because they are about to fail to finish, I came to pick them up early."

"what?"

After he finished speaking, Ye Xiao didn't wait for the red-haired woman to reply. He turned around and walked directly to the group of burly adventurers closest to the front desk.

"What, kid, are you not convinced?" "Hahahaha, he even came over. Look at these bean sprouts." Several dark-skinned adventurers looked at the expressionless Ye Xiao, but they put their legs on the table and laughed even more wildly.

"You delicate and tender noble of the imperial city, why don't you go back? Or the sea breeze will crack your face and you'll cry for your mother. Hahaha... Why are you being fed?"

"What are you laughing at!" Ye Xiao picked up the wooden chair beside the table and chopped it down on the head of the leading man without saying a word.

Chapter 16: Outsiders

Amid the flying wood chips, the dark-skinned man lying on the ground looked stunned. He never expected that this new bean sprout would actually dare to attack him.

Everyone in the Adventure Guild Hall stood up and looked at the members of the Seven Stars Society at the front desk with murderous eyes.

Although they belong to different guilds, they are all brothers in Storm Harbor. Who can tolerate a foreign guild being so arrogant?

The corner of Li Cheng's mouth twitched. Although he knew that his brother Ye was very tough, he didn't expect that he would attack without saying a word when he arrived at someone else's territory.

But since the fight has already started, they can only...

Wait, why did he feel like this scene was familiar?

"You're looking for death!" However, the group of adventurers who were knocked down by Ye Xiao had already picked up chairs and rushed towards Ye Xiao angrily. Li Cheng didn't have time to think about it. He just waved his hand and called everyone here to rush forward.

The whole hall was in chaos again.

The only ones left were Gratia, who was wearing a travel cloak and looked lazy, and Freya, who was at a loss.

"Um... do we need to go upstairs to help?" Freya asked weakly to the little maid beside her.

"Don't worry about them, let's book a room for tonight." Gratia waved her hand and looked at the equally lazy red-haired woman at the front desk.
