Lance realized the severity of this matter and wanted to run away. At this moment, Philip signaled Aslan to attract the beast’s attention while he attacked its eyeballs. As long as the beast kept its eyes open, its weakness would be exposed. As a monster beast, Aslan’s aura could affect the beast. After sensing Aslan's presence, the lizard beast rushed at Aslan furiously. Philip seized this opportunity to attack the beast with multiple weapons that appeared in his hands. The beast was frightened by this scene and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Philip was one step ahead of it. No matter how the beast resisted, the dagger pierced its eyeball. The beast howled in pain. “Go to hell!” Philip attacked without hesitation, and waves of light pierced through the beast’s eyeballs into its brain. The growing beast was finally dead. Philip was so fast that Lance could hardly keep up even after everything was over. Lance was still running, making him look ridiculous. “He
“You turned down the pill he gave you earlier, so why are you asking now?” Philip smiled helplessly and put the beast into his storage space with a wave of his hand. Lance was dumbfounded by Philip’s actions and felt that his outlook on life had collapsed. “What the hell is this?” He wanted to get the answer from Philip, but Philip ignored him. “Now that we have taken care of the beast, let’s take a look inside. Maybe we can find the cause of the beast's mutation.” Philip reached into his space and took out a lizard’s leg. “You can take this as proof of completing your mission. I believe it'll be of great use to you. Your strength may improve by leaps and bounds if you eat it.” Philip smiled and led Aslan into the depths of the beast forest, leaving the soldiers behind staring at each other. Philip was not a saint. He had offered the pills once and would not do it again. If they wanted the healing pills, they had to buy them. His earlier offer was to compensate them
“Set the pot over the fire. Let’s have a feast with this leg today!” After much deliberation, Lance decided to keep the leg for themselves. He was tricked into being sent here to face the danger anyway. In that case, he would keep the good stuff to himself. “We’ll eat this today. We can express our gratitude when we see the two of them again in the future!” Lance was a grateful person. He knew that he was a little arrogant earlier and vowed to thank the other party if he had the opportunity next time. “As for what happened today, no one is allowed to talk about it. Just say that we killed the beast through our own efforts, and the beast’s body was scavenged by other animals. We don’t know anything else!” Before cooking, Lance reminded everyone, afraid that some of them might let the cat out of the bag. All of them had followed Lance for a long time and knew his meaning. “Don't worry, commander. We’ll watch our words. Those two people are our saviors.” Everyone looked at
Aslan went on high alert and peered around cautiously. “I’ll pick the flower and see what’s going on.” That flower was not a magical item that could be used as a medicinal ingredient. Philip found no description of this flower in his memory at all. Thus, he could not tell what it was. It felt like an extraterrestrial object, magical and weird. “Philip, watch out. I feel like this flower is talking to me. When I look at it, I see a charming woman dancing in front of me, and she keeps beckoning me over!” Aslan frowned and said solemnly. He had noticed the anomaly of this flower. Likewise, Philip discovered the same. Philip approached the flower cautiously and reached out to touch it. The flower trembled, looking a little spooky. He had a strange feeling that the flower was like a delicate woman resisting his touch. “Something’s wrong. Let’s pick it and see what happens!” Philip did not want to hesitate and miss this chance! He took out a shovel and dug out the flower by i
Philip was stunned to see such a beautiful woman. “Sir, please stop!” The flower that turned into a woman sobbed in despair. “If you don’t want to die, tell me everything about yourself,” Philip threatened. He did not have to worry about communicating with the other party, which was great news. “Who are you exactly?” Philip asked solemnly. He did not want to waste too much time on this thing. The woman looked up at Philip resentfully and recounted her story, “I come from a chaotic world. I had been practicing in that world for thousands of years before I finally developed my intelligence and body. But before I had time to get used to this body, I was sucked away by a strange force. “When I first came to this colorful world, I was very curious.” Her words were full of sincerity, and she did not seem like she was lying. Philip knew that she probably did not have any bad intentions. However, she did not understand how her actions affected this continent. Philip was
Everyone was finally safe. Lance and his men returned to Imperial City to resume their duties. They were stuffed to the brim, and their strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Lance saw the emperor and told him all the things he had made up. He and his people had agreed on the same story. Since everyone had a share of that delicious beast meat, they had to do something as repayment. Lance took Philip's actions as his own and took all the credit. Although Lance only met Philip once, he knew that Philip did not care for merit. Since the other party wanted to conceal his identity, Lance had to shoulder this responsibility. However, Lance felt uncertain when describing the incident. Philip was so powerful that Lance was not sure if he could replicate it. However, the emperor did not know what Lance was capable of, so Lance was not afraid of exposing himself. As the youngest and most promising commander, he simply had to play the part. “So, that’s what happened. We took c
Lance angrily rebuked Fernand. He wanted to have a good conversation but lost the desire to speak at the sight of Fernand’s appalling face. He just wanted to curse at him. Fernand scowled at Lance’s outspoken words and arrogant attitude. This brat dared to challenge him! “Such audacity. I think everything’s just a coincidence. You didn’t do anything that great, so stop putting on airs!” The two of them argued in front of the emperor, neither one backing down. “That’s enough. Everyone has worked hard, so let’s put this aside. I’ll compensate you for it.” The emperor could not figure out the situation, but he could not condone this racket either. Thus, he glossed things over and ended the argument. Lance bowed in dissatisfaction and left. He did not have a good impression of Fernand and loathed staying in the same room with him. “Only a loser will shoot his mouth away without the facts,” Lance muttered as he passed by Fernand. Fernand was angry, but he knew that he was no
“Collect the beasts for now. The fur and hide won’t be worth much, but the meat should be tender and delicious, am I right?” the emperor asked curiously. As far as he knew, most beast meat had an average taste. The meat was tough and not something he preferred, so the emperor rarely ate beast meat. However, the emperor had never seen the beasts that attacked them this time, so he was curious and eager to have a taste. “Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Fernand patted his chest, confident that he could handle it. “It doesn’t matter if we can't get any money, but our strength will greatly improve after we eat the meat of a beast,” Fernand said with a smile. He was speaking from his own experience over the years. The emperor was very interested. He summoned his people to gather the edible meat and bring it back to his palace after cutting it into pieces. He did not want others to know about it. Otherwise, everyone would disturb him during mealtimes. Fernand was expectant.As
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
