Ever since the leader of the Lion’s Club beca a fervent Su Li fan, the changes in Sadina City have been visible to the naked eye.
This city itself doesn’t belong to any country or religious organization. The city of rcenaries is the territory of rcenaries. Since this city was designated as a self-governing area, regardless of how chaotic it beca, its essence was always just the conflicts among rcenaries.
Therefore, when the Lion’s Club and the Alliance stopped fighting each other, the progress of Euphia’s reforms beca comparable to riding a rocket forward.
However, for the outside world, all of this happened in a very short ti.
While people outside still thought the city of rcenaries was in a state of conflict, Euphia had already negotiated the division of interests with the leader of the Lion’s Club.
But this news wasn’t easily exposed to the outside.
Regarding the developnt of the city’s upper echelons, Su Li, who considered himself an ordinary civilian, also had so gossipy thoughts.
Seeing that Su Li was curious about this matter, Egbert took it upon himself to explain the whole situation.
“The information that Sadina City has restored peace is not suitable to be made public for the ti being. There are many forces within the city, and nobles and rchants are especially good at fishing in troubled waters. If the news of peace were to leak, all their dirty sches would go into hiding, becoming as foul as rats in the sewers. The city of rcenaries belongs to the rcenaries, and neither Euphia nor the leader of the Lion’s Club can accept too many other forces in this city. The conclusion they reached after discussion was to maintain the status quo on the surface, but actually fish for trouble.”
Su Li, having satisfied his curiosity with this gossip, didn’t say anything more.
Egbert, however, thought that Su Li, sitting on the sofa and simply blanking out, was thinking about sothing he couldn’t keep up with. He cast a reluctant glance at Su Li, then honestly walked to the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating light elents.
The importance of power, since the day Su Li was kidnapped, has beco extrely important in the eyes of those familiar with Su Li.
He was weak, without any deeper implications. Su Li was the kind of person who could potentially lose half his life if even lightly grazed by elents.
In many people’s eyes, the concept of safety didn’t exist for his life.
So in the days following the kidnapping incident, apart from the necessary ti spent with Su Li, Egbert used all his fragnted ti to cultivate elents.
He hoped to break through his current level soon and enter a higher realm.
And in the subsequent purge period, which was the ti when rchants tried to profit from war and nobles constantly stirred up conflicts, Su Li also rarely witnessed the true power of the Son of Light.
How to put it… Perhaps because in previously seen works, light elents often represented healing and support roles, Su Li initially thought this way too, subconsciously believing that Egbert’s main strength should be in physical combat…
Who would have thought that this person directly transferred his abilities to controlling the temperature of light.
Su Li personally witnessed several nobles who were pointing at his nose and calling him useless being burned to nothing, not even ashes left, in an instant.
Once he understood the principle, it felt…
Quite, quite scientific?
The scattered thoughts allowed Su Li to ponder nuclear fusion and atomic decomposition reactions for only a second.
But the next second, his mind went completely blank, and he very frankly mocked himself. “Returning the knowledge I’ve learned back to the teachers should also indirectly show my love for them.”
Egbert hesitated to speak.
“Does Lord Su Li also have teachers?”
“Just pretend I didn’t say anything earlier,” Su Li didn’t want to explain the lifeti he spent in another world.
A man’s sixth sense might not be great, but animal instinct probably still has sothing to it.
Su Li’s instinct told him that if he were to reveal his identity as a transmigrator, the result would definitely not be sothing like “this person is unknown, unknown ans danger which equals evil, he should be sent to the gallows and burned to ashes.” Instead, there was only one possible outco…
As expected of Lord Su Li!
Just imagining Egbert pointing at those who doubted him and brainwashing them by saying, “You’re just too inexperienced,” made Su Li feel dizzy.
The chaos continued for several days. Just as the leader of the Lion’s Club and Euphia were about to round up all those nobles, the rcenaries guarding the city gates to prevent nobles from sending ssages outside suddenly ran around wailing. “Damn it, those guys from the Church are here!”
For most people in this world, the Church of Light was a place of faith, countless people longed to join and worship the statue of the God of Light.
But for rcenaries, it wasn’t quite the sa.
This was because the rcenary Alliance existed to provide rcenaries with an organization to take on missions, for their own convenience.
The Church’s existence, on the other hand, was desperate to control them, pressing their heads down and telling them they must do these things, and not doing so would be against the God of Light’s instructions… They didn’t even pay, saying it was all for this world, painting such an unrealistic picture.
They perfectly embodied the despicable face of capitalism.
It would be strange if rcenaries liked such an oddity.
When those people from the Church appeared with the face of saviors coming to rescue the world, the rcenaries in the city all wore expressions as if they had eaten flies.
“What excuse are those people giving this ti to interfere with Sadina City?”
“They say it’s because there’s too much conflict in the city, seriously affecting the daily lives of residents. As the God of Light’s representatives on earth, they absolutely cannot stand to see such injustice… Anyway, it’s all high-sounding lies.”
“Ugh…” The person who asked first made a vomiting gesture, not hiding their disgust at all.
Just from the discussion among ordinary rcenaries, one could see that Egbert, who gave up the Beast Forest and chose this city, had his own considerations.
In the small building.
After learning this news, Egbert quickly reacted.
The Church, which rarely interfered with this city, probably thought the leader of the Lion’s Club and Euphia had really fought to mutual destruction, and was preparing to co and be the opportunistic third party, greedily seeking benefits.
Who would have thought that this conflict involving countless forces would be quickly resolved with a unified front after the top figures of the two forces stood together, and even set a trap for the nobles and rchants?
However, the news of the Church mbers’ arrival disrupted Egbert’s original plan to focus on cultivation today.
The reason was—
Su Li went out.
Su Li went out with Cyril. Both were young, and even though Egbert wished he could spend 24 hours a day with Su Li, he occasionally left so space for the children to be children. Otherwise, according to Euphia: “Are you so stupid father who will die if separated from his child?”
Egbert wanted to say yes at that ti, but he didn’t think he had the right to be Su Li’s father.
After replaying recent daily events in his mind, Egbert imdiately got up and headed towards Su Li and Cyril’s destination.
The Son of Light didn’t know, he only thought it was truly a private space for children, but in reality, Cyril had told Su Li that Egbert’s birthday was coming up soon.
Su Li pondered for a mont. Considering how he quickly transitioned from a beggar to living a normal life in this other world, Egbert had definitely made great contributions.
Su Li had no reason not to give him a gift.
Shopping, even a hobody must go shopping!
In the end, Su Li chose a silver keychain as a gift. The golden key to the small building’s front door was always lonely, adding a keychain for Egbert to hold would make it feel more like ho.
Cyril was still debating whether to give Egbert gloves or wristbands.
Su Li said matter-of-factly, “What choice do adults make? Adults of course want both.”
Then he gave Cyril a gold coin and sat on the steps outside the general store, quietly waiting for him to choose suitable gifts.
This general store was well-positioned on one side of the street, not only in a pri location but also visible to everyone entering Sadina City.
Today was no exception.
Ignoring a few rcenaries staring at him with strange looks, Su Li lazily yawned while holding the keychain package wrapped in brown paper.
Everything seed natural, at most making Su Li wonder if Euphia and the Lion’s Club leader had done sothing again to make the rcenaries’ attitudes towards him so strange.
But the next second, several white-robed people pointing at the rcenaries shouted loudly. “Sinners who disrespect the God of Light! Weaklings! Ignorant fools!”
When Cyril ca out of the general store, he was confused for a mont. “What’s going on?”
After pondering for a second, Su Li decisively said, “PUA, I guess.”
Seeing Cyril’s puzzled look, Su Li briefly explained. “It refers to those bad people who constantly belittle others through words and try to gain benefits from them. They’re not good people, next ti you encounter such people, be sure to stay far away.”
As Cyril was nodding in a daze, one of those who had been loudly accusing the rcenaries might have heard Su Li’s words. He then stared at him with an extrely fierce gaze and said, “re sinner abandoned by God!”
“Stupid freak without any elental affinity! Take back what you said, and I might still leave you with one life. Otherwise, today I’ll send you to personally et the God of Light, so you can deeply experience the glory of God!”
Su Li: Ah, this...
“What nonsense are you babbling about?” The previously accused rcenary lazily picked his ear, not bothering to deal with those pretentious Church people. But now, seeing them directly attack an innocent bystander who only spoke the truth, he retorted without hesitation, “If there really was a god, I think the first to die would be you lot who co here saying our city is dood and needs your saving.”
He didn’t say it, but his expression clearly conveyed: “As if you’re worthy?”
In an instant, the air current stirred up by the surging elents made Su Li unable to keep his eyes open. His body involuntarily stepped back, but unfortunately, his heel didn’t land steadily. Instead, it hit the higher step behind him, and losing control for a mont, he fell right on his bottom.
Su Li’s mind went blank.
Tonight, he would be carrying a possibly non-existent train straight to the moon!
To fall on his bottom after living for thirty years…
Egbert arrived and imdiately noticed Su Li’s soul-lost appearance.
The air suddenly beca thick with killing intent.
