"Look at it in a positive way. With this certificate, you will be considered a person of status no matter where you go. This certificate will also be surprisingly useful at some checkpoints."

"Although perhaps before long, it will be replaced by another type of proof."

"Frilian, don't you plan to get one too? If it's you, it should be easy to get it." Yakumo put the certificate into his backpack and asked back.

"Forget it, it's too troublesome. Besides, I already have this..." Fulilian said, taking out an ornament that looked like a necklace.

However, the necklace is covered with rust and looks like it has been there for many years.

"What is this?" Everyone gathered around and asked curiously.

"The Certificate of the Holy Staff... There are almost no people who know about this thing now, right?" Seeing the reactions of Xin Meir and others, Fulilian suddenly lost interest and hung the necklace around her neck.

The decoration on the necklace is a magic wand placed in front of the shield. Judging from the rust on it, it must be at least a hundred years old.

"The organizations that manage magic change frequently, so it's too much trouble to join them repeatedly. I don't go out very often, so over time I find it too much trouble to join the organizations that manage magic repeatedly."

"But we all know that Flillian is a great magician, and that's enough, isn't it?" Xinmei said.

"But you will all die soon, right?" Fulilian was not shaken by Xin Meier's words: "After that, the people who can remember will no longer exist."

"Pfft..." Hearing Fulilian's words, Yakumo couldn't hold back. Indeed, if he hadn't intervened, Xin Meier and the others would have had a very limited lifespan.

Although there is no complete solution yet, at least he is still here. If he and Fulilian compete to see who can live longer, who will win?

Yakumo suddenly became curious about the answer to this question. What kind of expression would Fulilian show when she saw him unchanged hundreds or thousands of years later?

Chapter 25 The Sword is Lost (31/)

"Are we... there?" Everyone stood at the city gate for a while and found that there seemed to be too many guards at the city gate. At first, everyone was wondering what was going on that made it so slow to enter the city, but they only discovered this strange situation when they walked to the gate.

"The city lord has issued an order! All capable adventurers and brave teams, go to the city lord's manor!" The guards shouted this several times in a row. When they got tired, they would take over and continue shouting, and there seemed to be no intention of stopping.

"It looks like something big has happened." Xin Meir went over curiously to join in the fun.

"I bet that Xin Meier will definitely be approached by a troublesome commission." Yakumo said directly: "Let's bet on Haita's alcohol money for the next month. If Xin Meier is approached, Haita won't be able to drink for the next month."

"That's an exaggeration..." Haita laughed, and he obviously thought that Xin Meier would definitely get into trouble. As expected, Xin Meier was conscripted into the army.

The news that Xinmeier's team had conquered the Seventh Sage Aura had spread, so Xinmeier was somewhat famous. Of course, Yakumo was also quite famous, and Fulilian was the least famous one.

Yakumo took all the credit, and Fulilian was really the least noticeable one among all of them. Apparently, the guards also recognized Xin Meier, and directly issued a letter of appointment to Xin Meier, asking Xin Meier to remember to go to the city lord's mansion.

"See, I told you that Xin Meier would definitely be entangled with a commission." Yakumo said teasingly: "Xin Meier, do you know what the commission is? Or did you accept the commission without thinking?"

"It's very strange. The guard just gave me a letter of appointment and told me to go to the City Lord's Mansion without saying anything." Xin Meir looked at the letter of appointment in his hand over and over again. It was more like a summons than a letter of appointment.

At the same time, this is also the entrance pass to the City Lord’s Mansion. Without this thing, you cannot enter the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Speaking of which... this thing shouldn't have any tracking and identification functions, right? After we get it, can we not go to the City Lord's Mansion?" Yakumo suddenly thought of a weird idea. Anyway, every time Xin Meier triggered a commission, it would inexplicably become an extremely long branch.

"Ahaha, this probably won't work... The city lord has issued a commission to the whole city, so it must be a very important matter. So we can't refuse this commission, don't you think?" Xin Meir looked at Yakumo.

Now most of the time in the team, Yakumo makes the final decision. Whether to accept this mission depends on Yakumo.

The cloud has the final say.

But Yakumo…even if he was forced to take a detour after accepting the mission, it didn’t matter. He could get more experience by killing more demons. So even though he said he was going to run away, he actually had no intention of doing so.

What's more, you can get a free meal at the City Lord's Mansion, so why not?

Until... the city lord revealed his evil face: "Our family heirloom was stolen by the demons, I need you to find it back! Otherwise, I will throw you all into jail!"

"No... How many divisions do you have? How dare you speak so arrogantly to a group of adventurers?!" Yakumo really admired this city lord. I didn't see how many guards this city lord had around him?

It was because these adventurers and the brave team did not intend to cause trouble, otherwise the city lord would be dead in two seconds. A strong warrior could kill the city lord instantly at this distance.

"The result is that not only did we not get a free meal, but we were also forced to take on a lost property recovery mission without any clues?" Yakumo didn't know how to complain. If Xin Mei'er hadn't stopped him, he would have taught this city lord a lesson.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore." Haita was responsible for calming Yakumo down: "If we really beat up the city lord here, our journey will be difficult. Besides, if something happens to the city lord, this city will be in trouble."

"..." Yakumo stopped cursing. But he didn't really let it go. At night, he sneaked into the city lord's mansion and beat the city lord up.

The beating was carried out with a silent barrier, so the guards of the city lord's mansion did not notice their master being beaten until the morning. It was not until the maid entered the room to clean up the room that she found their city lord tied up and thrown on the bed.

It's no wonder that this city lord is quite capable. Yakumo used both magic and weapons to subdue the opponent, and then he beat him even harder. When he was found in the morning, the city lord's body was covered with bruises.

"Ah, I feel refreshed when I go out in the morning." Yakumo happily embarked on the journey to find the ancestral sword. Everyone in the team looked at each other in surprise.

"Did Yakumo do something last night? Why does it seem like he's no longer angry after just one night?" Xin Meir knew how angry Yakumo was yesterday.

"I don't know either. I wanted to ask you, Xin Meier." Haita also looked confused. He went to bed early yesterday. Because he accepted the commission right after entering the city, he didn't have time to go to the tavern to drink.

"Isn't it a good thing that Yakumo's mood has improved? Or do you want Yakumo to be in a bad mood all the time?" Haita glanced at a few people, really making himself uncomfortable.

"No, no, no, it's fine now." Haita shook his head quickly. Just kidding, if Yakumo is not in a good mood, then this journey will not be good.

"..." Fulilian could guess what Yakumo was doing, but she didn't expect that Yakumo would be so impulsive and do such a thing. You know, even she would try her best to avoid conflicts with the nobles.

"First of all, the city lord's sword... What are you talking about?" Yakumo, who was refreshed, was planning to analyze the current situation, but when he turned around, he found that several other people in the team were whispering.

"Ah? No, no, we are just analyzing the situation." Haita shuddered and almost lost his balance.

“?” Yakumo tilted his head, not knowing what Haita was up to.

"It's like this. We combined the known information and felt that the problem still lies with the sword." Xin Meier helped Haita cover up: "The demons came, why didn't they do anything else but just steal the sword?"

"There are many excellent weapons, but it's just a sword. The demons shouldn't come to steal it, don't you think?" Xin Meir initially just wanted to help Haita out, but this analysis suddenly revealed a blind spot.

"The demons come to steal the swords of humans. That sounds a bit like a fairy tale, doesn't it?"

"Really... It's just like entering the treasury and ignoring the gold and silver treasures, and heading straight for the treasure chest monster."

"Ah!" Fulilian shuddered all over.

Chapter 26: The Abnormality of the Sword (31/)

That's right, the biggest doubt is why the sword was stolen by the demons. If humans think the sword is worth a good price, it makes sense. But the problem is that for the demons, the sword cannot be exchanged for money.

Besides, do the demons need money?

The answer should be no, so the reason why the demons came to steal the sword is worth discussing. What is so special about this sword? If it is the power, then shouldn’t the sword of the brave be the object that needs to be dealt with urgently?

"Tell me, is there a possibility that this sword doesn't belong to the city lord?" Yakumo suddenly had an idea: "If this so-called ancestral sword actually belongs to the demon clan, does that make sense?"

Yakumo didn't think so at first, but after thinking about it, this was the biggest possibility. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the demons would be interested in a human heirloom sword.

"It was originally a sword of the demon clan?" Xin Meier was also shocked by this inference: "Is this... is this really possible?"

"It's not impossible." Fulilian explained: "The battle between humans and demons lasted too long, and the number of demons killed was not small. The spoils captured on the battlefield were also very large.

Normal, right?

"Maybe this sword was captured by the city lord's ancestors and passed down." Fulilian sighed, "But this is troublesome. I have no clue and don't know where to look for it."

"I can only defeat the demons one by one..." Yakumo also felt overwhelmed. There was no clue at all, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, he could only cast a wide net.

"By the way, are there any demons who are particularly interested in swords?" Yakumo asked curiously, "Like using sword magic, or fighting only with swords?"

"I don't know." Fulilian spread her hands. "Although I know a lot about demons, I don't know all of them. There are so many types of demons, so of course I can't know them all."

"..." Yakumo scratched his head. Their first step was stillborn.

"It seems that I have no choice but to use my final resort." Yakumo took out a branch.

"Oh! Is this some kind of revelation that can provide guidance for lost people?" Xin Meir asked excitedly.

"No, it's just an ordinary branch." Yakumo placed the branch on the ground: "Since we don't know which way to go, let's rely on God to help us decide!"

After saying that, Yakumo loosened his grip and the branch fell in one direction: "Yoshi, let's go in this direction."

"Ah..." Everyone was dumbfounded. They never thought that the always steady Yakumo would have such an unserious moment. But as Yakumo said, they had no information at the moment, so they could only choose a direction at random.

"OK, brothers, everyone, follow me!" Yakumo led the way. Today, there were no soldiers issuing summons at the city gate. Perhaps they were called back by the city lord to protect themselves.

The group gradually moved away from the town and looked at the map. They were heading towards the mountains. Fortunately, it was summer, otherwise it would be unbearable to go into the mountains in this weather.

Along the way, Yakumo and Xin Meier would go into any village they saw to ask for information. If it was late, they would choose to stay in the village for one night.

[Eri: This demon is really fast at running, isn't it? Or has the city lord's sword been lost for a long time? ]

[Funina: No matter what, it's really a dereliction of duty for him to not look for any clues when something is lost! Such a person deserves to never be found. If he were in Fontaine, I would definitely find a way to convict him and then send him to Melo Petersburg! ]

[Yakumo: I have already punished him, but I didn't expect that he really didn't have any clues. If things don't go well, I might end up spending half a year in prison.]

[Yakumo: But it's not impossible. I still want to look around to see if I can find the place where the Southern Hero is sealed.]

[Shu: I think it may not be that easy, Yakumo-chan. If I were Shurahat, I would definitely choose a place outside the continent as the destination for teleportation, so as to avoid being found to the greatest extent.]

[Shu: Currently, the only place that Yakumo has explored is this continent, right? ]

[Yakumo: Yes. Most of the maps are still covered by the fog of war and have not been unlocked. If there is really nothing on the main road, then we can only try our luck elsewhere later.]

[Yakumo: If they are really overseas... Tsk, it won't be easy to encircle and suppress them then.]

If the distance is particularly long, we have to consider the problem of supply logistics. If it is another continent, we have to consider communication with the regimes on other continents, which is another troublesome matter.

[Eri: It seems that there is still no complete world map? Didn't your world develop navigation? ]

[Yakumo: We can't even deal with all the demons on the continent, so how can we develop a navy? At most, we can just build some ships to go out to sea to catch big fish, or there are pirates roaming around outside.]

[Yakumo: Of course, it could also be that my rank is too low and I haven’t had any contact with the navy. I haven’t been to coastal cities much either.]

It was as if all maps of other worlds were the same, or maybe this world was based on Earth. The continent he was currently on looked a bit like North and South America.

[Yakumo: Eriri, how many days have you been there? ]

[Eri: It’s been a week. I’ll let time pass properly!]

[Yakumo: Tsk, tsk, it's been three months for me, and only a week for you. I think you should understand the time ratio. How is your situation now? About school and monsters?]

[Eri: The monster-related ones are okay. Although Natsume often encounters monsters, not all of them are bad monsters. I also saw all kinds of weird monsters, and I almost couldn't sleep at night several times.]

[Eri: It's just that his spiritual power is such a waste! Really, it would be great if such a huge amount of spiritual power could be converted into magic power for me! That way I wouldn't have to count the magic power so much to cast magic.]

[Yakumo: I'm a frugal person, haha. If I budget carefully, I'll be more comfortable using magic later, right? (laughs)]

[Eri: I would rather splurge a little more…]

[Eri: Oh, yes, Kasumigaoka is quite fast, and has already finished 1/3 of the copywriting. Do you think we should reveal some things about the other world? She seems to have been reading books on this subject recently.]

[Eri: And, Tomoya, that guy, came to visit me again. He even came to visit me at home two days ago. I didn't agree to it.

He didn’t let him stay for too long! 】

[Yakumo: I know you won’t join his club, there’s no need to explain it to me so quickly…]

Chapter 119: Kasumigaoka Utaha's Honesty

I don't know why, or maybe it's because what you can't get is always disturbing, but Tomoya Aki has been harassing Eriri more recently. Because they are childhood friends, Tomoya Aki also knows where Eriri lives.

At school, due to his face and the general environment, Tomoya Aki still didn't dare to greet and chat with Eriri openly. But once school was over, Tomoya Aki could go directly to her.

There was even one time when Kasumigaoka Utaha was there, but Tomoya Aki still insisted on coming over. This situation annoyed Eriri. At this time, Tomoya Aki already had the artist Tomi Hajima among the club members!

"It seems that Scumbag is still obsessed with your childhood sweetheart." Kasumigaoka Utaha teased Eriri while typing on the laptop.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha is still sharp-tongued, her attitude has improved a lot after working with Eriri for a few days. In addition, Kasumigaoka Utaha is curious about the other world, and Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri are getting closer and closer.

"Who asked him to keep thinking about it? It's really troublesome." Eriri stabbed Kasumigaoka Utaha angrily: "But you, isn't this a good opportunity?"

"...You've become sharp-tongued, too, Sawamura-san." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri without leaving any trace. Occasionally, Eriri would type, but the screen on the other person was not showing a document.

"You're so mysterious, Sawamura-san." Kasumigaoka Utaha knew that Eriri was the key to her understanding of the other world. But she wouldn't use any trickery to get Eriri to tell her the answer. Eriri was someone she could be friends with.

"Sawamura-san, do you know? Sometimes your unintentional behavior reveals a lot of information." Kasumigaoka decided that it would be better to take the initiative, as Eriri is sometimes too careless.

"Ah?" Eriri looked up from the computer, not understanding what Kasumigaoka Utaha meant.

"Your computer screen has been stuck on the drawing board page for a long time. Although I'm not an artist, the drawing board page shouldn't require such a high frequency of keyboard tapping, right?"

"Eh?!" Eriri quickly reduced the chat group and saw the drawing board interface at the back. She looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in disbelief: "You actually noticed it?"

"Under normal circumstances, wouldn't ordinary people notice this detail?" Kasumigaoka Utaha still had some analytical skills. From Eriri's words, she immediately came to a conclusion.

"Maybe it was because of the last youkai incident. No, it could also be because I was saved by you and that man, which led to a big intersection. I don't know the specific reason yet, and I can't think of a third possibility."

"Sawamura-san, are there really monsters in this world?" The existence of monsters is a big challenge to common sense for anyone who has received a materialistic education.

"Monsters do exist. But the number of monsters is not that exaggerated, and you can't see them, so there is no need to worry. Sometimes, being able to see is a bad thing. Many monsters like to attack people who can see them."

Regarding the matter of monsters, they exist in Eriri's world itself, so it's okay to tell her.
