Chapter 9: The Top of the Mountain
Lu Kaifeng looked at the broken sword in his hand, then looked at Ophelia in the distance, and sighed. He had asked Ophelia before that she had bought the sword with more than fifty gold Nayat coins. In other words, Ophelia's fifty gold coins for the demonic leopard skin that she hadn't paid him for were going down the drain...
I knew that I would have buried it with my soul...
Lu Kaifeng touched the leopard skin behind him and sighed, but he didn't care too much, after all, he broke someone else's things, and it stands to reason that he should pay someone else. However, if he knew what these fifty Nayat gold coins meant, he would probably have taken out his soul burial long ago.
Glancing at Aurelian scratching his head to the side, he didn't look like a paladin at this time, but like a boy who had done something wrong, although this boy was a little, well, a little big. Lu Kaifeng shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He picked up the other half of the ground and turned to walk towards Ophelia. He didn't plan to settle accounts with Oryrian, and looking at his appearance, there was no way to compensate him for a sword, even if he beat him, it was useless.
O'Lelian was relieved to see that Lu Kaifeng didn't pursue him. Although he was a paladin, he had taken all the money he had paid for eating and drinking, and he knew at a glance that although the sword was not as good as the one in his hand, the price was certainly not low. Just when he was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly thought: How to calculate the victory or defeat of this game? Won yourself? That can't be said, Lu Kaifeng's last moment, O'Lelian is ashamed. Lost yourself? He was a little unwilling, and he didn't fall anyway. That... Draw?
"Hey!"
Thinking of this, O'Lelian shouted at Lu Kaifeng. After shouting, he felt that something was wrong and wanted to call his name, but he forgot it.
"My name is Lu Kaifeng."
"Oh, Lu Kaifeng... Your Excellency..."
"You better do it on your own, you're making me a little uncomfortable like this." Thinking that a rough man was still calling himself Lao Tzu one moment and calling His Excellency the next second, Lu Kaifeng felt weird.
"That's good, Lu Kaifeng. How about a tie for us? β
"Whatever."
Lu Kaifeng rolled his eyes, feeling that this guy is still thinking about this thing? Lu Kaifeng really wanted to go up and kick this thing away. Is such a guy really a paladin? Is Slais no one? Or is it that the paladins in this world are like this, and what misunderstanding do you have about the paladins?
Answering casually, Lu Kaifeng continued to walk towards Ophelia, who was still motionless in the distance, as if she was still in a daze.
"Wait a minute!"
"That's... Lu Kaifeng, you haven't used your strength yet, have you? β
Lu Kaifeng froze, he turned around, and found that the other party had a serious face, as if the god of war-like paladin had returned.
"Huh?"
"You're the strongest person I've ever met, stronger than Natleya. Although I wasn't as strong as I am when I fought her, I feel that you are better than her. β
"Natelya? She? Lu Kaifeng was puzzled.
"The contemporary Juggernaut, the strongest in the world today, is also the first female Juggernaut."
Ophelia didn't know when she ran over, as Lu Kaifeng explained.
So he's the best in the world, right?
Lu Kaifeng nodded. Judging from what this simple paladin said, he should be able to walk sideways in this world, right? This is good news, at least the safety of life is guaranteed.
"So there's a connection between that?" Lu Kaifeng was puzzled again.
"Can you show me? Your full strength. I want to see the summit of the mountain. β
I see, I didn't expect him to be such a person. In that case, it's hard to refuse.
Hearing this, Ophelia also looked over, her eyes clearly flashing with curiosity and anticipation. Well, it's even harder to refuse.
"In that case, let's take a look, but there's no guarantee that you'll be satisfied."
With that, Lu Kaifeng motioned for Ophelia to retreat behind him, and at the same time raised the broken sword in his hand high.

Aurelian held his sword and quietly looked at the peak of the cliff in the distance, which was originally a complete mountain, and the cliff in the middle was an extension of the sword mark in front of him.
Thinking back to just now, O'Lelian only felt his blood boiling.
"I have to find some time to take care of the burden with the old man, and it just so happens that I don't want to stay with him. The sinister old man didn't know what he was calculating all day long. O'Lelian muttered, picked up his greatsword, and headed southeast.
"Let's make friends."
This was the last thing Lu Kaifeng said to him before leaving.
One day, I'll be standing there, friend.
In the distance, a figure disappeared into the darkness.

After separating from O'Lelian, Lu Kaifeng and Ophelia once again set out on their way to the city of Conteseno. They were never hindered in their way. Two days later, they began to meet other adventurers. After another two days, they finally came out of the forest and saw the city of Conteseno. It was not until evening that they finally entered the fortress-like city, which was surrounded by high walls, and inside the walls was a bustling street. When you enter the city, you will be greeted by a large stone house, similar to medieval Europe, and the room is full of laughter. The street is paved with stone bricks, and although it is not very neat, it is still reasonable. Many people walked through the streets, some of them alone, as if they were travelers; Some are in groups of three or five, some are talking and laughing; Some set up stalls to sell and shout loudly; There are also adventurers carrying the corpse of a demonic beast that has just returned from hunting, the armor on his body is tattered, and there are still blood stains in some places, as if he has just experienced a big battle; There were also soldiers on duty, patrolling the streets. In the tavern, the laughter of the drunkards is wanton and bold, full of energy, and there are people who make a noise from time to time, as if there is something lively to see.
Entering the city, Ophelia took Lu Kaifeng through the city. At first, Lu Kaifeng thought she was looking for a hotel, but when she arrived, she found out...
"Miss." A maid-like girl opened the small window on the door and saw that it was Ophelia who knocked on the door, and hurriedly opened the door, "You're back?" The next person will go and inform the butler. β
"Well, go ahead, and besides, pack up an extra room and come out."
"Yes." The maid saluted respectfully, she took the leopard skin that Lu Kaifeng was carrying and left, and looked at Lu Kaifeng curiously when she left.
Lu Kaifeng didn't notice the maid's eyes, he was attracted by the mansion in front of him at this time. A wide yard, a green meadow, and a chic pavilion next to a few unknown trees. At the foot of the stone road is a stone road with unknown flowers on both sides, and at the end of the stone road is an exquisite villa.
Lu Kaifeng didn't expect that inside and outside the wall, the difference was like heaven and earth. Lu Kaifeng remembered Ophelia saying that her home was in Galingbon, the capital of the Principality of Galea. If the dwellings in this border city are all so trenched, then...
Lu Kaifeng didn't dare to imagine it...
