Chapter 16: The Third Ring! (Above)

The two stood up alertly, and Surya made a silent gesture before walking to the door.

She was ready to draw her sword and was ready to strike at any time.

With a creak, the door opened.

"Xia, Xiamu!" A childish child's voice seemed to be the golden sunlight that swept away the clouds, and suddenly swept away the tense atmosphere in the room.

"Ha, it's Shamu's good friend Little York, what are you doing coming to me?"

Mu Yan leaned down and picked up the little boy.

"Here you go, Grandpa Mawson said you might need this." Little York handed him an envelope that read "To Mr. Shamu".

The old man's lingua franca is beautifully written, the handwriting is neat, and the lines are smooth.

Mu Yan put down Little York, opened the envelope, and the letter read:

"Hello, Mr. Shamu, you must have finished listening to Sam's narration at this time, and you are feeling a little troubled, right? I'm sorry to talk to you in this way, but I had to do it so so not to arouse suspicion.

"I'm guessing you might think that we commissioned you with this on a temporary basis, but in fact, we have been planning to do so for a long time, but we have never had a suitable candidate, and the mercenaries are not trustworthy, so we have delayed until now.

"The wisdom and erudition you have shown have impressed each of us, and what is even more commendable is that you do not have the arrogance of an aristocratic scholar, and you enjoy even the most trivial things. So we believe that you are more than capable of doing this, and we will always stand firmly behind you no matter what the outcome is.

"Finally, there's the issue of compensation, which is also a topic to be ashamed to talk about, after all, you are from the Morning Star, and our precious wealth is not worth mentioning in your eyes. Fortunately, my student Lorov visited me not long ago, and said that he had become a mage with the blessing of Mia, and had left a crystal, saying that he could come to him if he had any problems. I don't know if I value him as Mr. Shamu, but it's the only thing I can think of that can be called a 'reward'.

"Finally, I hope you will find the truth and avenge Anthony's wrongs. May Mia bless you. – Mawson Olich"

Below is a large pile of handprints and signatures, which corroborate the old man's statement that "we always stand firmly behind you".

Mu Yan folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.

"What's in the letter?" Little York asked.

Mu Yan touched his head.

"Grandpa Mawson said that I solved everyone's problems, and he thanked me on behalf of everyone."

"But little York still has a problem to solve?"

"It'll work out, trust me."

He said firmly.

------------------

In the Lord's Mansion, Simon is practicing his sword in the courtyard.

"Is there anything going on with that kid today?" Seeing the next man come in, he threw down his sword and asked.

"He solved the business problems for Sam, the owner of the vegetable shop in front of the hotel, last night, and was invited to the market this morning, and he made a lot of noise."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"Yes." The next person told the story of Mu Yan's solution to everyone's problems.

"So he's really an advisor with a golden rose?"

"Indeed, Mr. Mawson admitted this, and he had just sent little York to the inn to thank him."

"Hmph, I'm afraid the old guy wants to entrust someone to investigate the cause of Anthony's death." A disdainful sneer crossed Simon's face. "I'm afraid that he will be disappointed this time, how can the other party's kind of person who eats thousands of gold coins at a meal be sent by him? It's crazy to be old and not die. ”

"Do you want to keep staring?"

"No matter, let him play, the rich man from the imperial capital is really leisurely."

……

After Simon finished practicing his sword, he walked into the bathroom, and the maid who had been waiting next to him for a long time hurriedly greeted him.

She clumsily peeled Simon's clothes off, and when she touched her lower body, her movements stiffened slightly.

Simon grabbed her arm impatiently and pushed it rudely against the wall, his other hand nimbly digging into his blouse.

The maid was frightened by the sudden assault, but she did not dare to squeak out of fear, so she had to bear it silently.

Simon sniffed greedily at the woman's body, kissed her from the back of her neck all the way to her lips, and opened her eyes, only to see a frightened face.

For no apparent reason, a face so perfect that even the two moons were discolored.

The female swordsman named Susie, that was the most perfect woman he had ever seen.

In contrast, he suddenly felt a little bored, especially when he looked at the mediocre face in front of him, and there was not even a trace of charm on his face.

He let go of his hand with a cold snort, letting the maid who had given up resistance collapse to the ground and walk straight to the bathroom.

……

The cold bath water not only did not suppress his lust, but stimulated it to thrive, and he couldn't help but think of Canspah.

The other party's face was flushed, and her eyes were like silk, especially the miserable eyes she deliberately pretended, coupled with the identity of a widow who kept an empty boudoir alone.

----------------

In the middle of the night, the two moons were hanging high, and Mu Yan was lying quietly on the sofa, his mind turning over and over for tomorrow's plan.

At this moment, Surya on the bed suddenly let out an exclamation!

"The firewood you lit has arrived!"

Mu Yan hurriedly got up and rushed to the bedside.

"How did you find out...... Could it be that there is still a habit of voyeurism? ”

"Why!! I just couldn't sleep looking at it, and then I happened to hear ......" Surya explained aggrievedly, and then took out the sub-crystal and recited a spell, and a light curtain about thirty centimeters square was projected onto the wall.

Only an empty bed could be seen in the light curtain, but this voice could be heard:

"Dead ghost, you haven't been looking for anyone for a long time!"

"I've been busy with official business, and I've had a lot going on lately."

"It's all excuses! Do you know how lonely I am! ”

"I know, I know, isn't this here to accompany you......"

Then there was a tearing sound of cloth.

"Ah...... Don't be in the living room, go ...... Well...... Go to the bedroom ......"

Immediately after that, there was a sound of rustling, and a pair of entangled men and women appeared in the picture, it was Simon and Canspah.

You can barely see Canspa's clothes torn and her body half naked.

As Mu Yan said, the two of them were on the verge of breaking out as soon as the fire broke out, greedily asking for comfort from each other.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and decisively put down the crystal and stuffed it into the quilt.

“…… That's it, tomorrow for the third ring. ”

"Hmm......" Surya's voice was also a little strange.

Fortunately, it is dark now, and I can't see my face clearly, otherwise the atmosphere will be even more awkward.

Both of them had insomnia that night.

……

In the early morning of the next day, stimulated by the cold water, Mu Yan quickly woke up.

He patted his cheek and silently cheered himself in the mirror.

"Believe in yourself! Show your self-esteem as a legendary scholar! ”

……

As if stimulated by the scene of last night, the two of them did not say anything on the way to the outskirts of the town, and it was not until they approached the legendary flower garden that Surya spoke.

"Are you sure you don't want my help to face it alone?"

"It's a sure thing to do alone, but you have to take it before you do that."

"What do you mean by 'fighting'?"

"If he's a human being, you'd beat him to his knees and call Daddy."

"The incapacitated kind?"

Mu Yan shook his head. "It's better to suffer only skin trauma."

Surya silently put away the heavy sword in his hand.

There were also traces of fighting along the way, and the trunk of the tree was covered with sword scars and blood stains that had solidified into a dark red, and they grew more and more as the two men went deeper.

A gentle breeze blows, with a faint fragrance, and then a beautiful flower garden comes into view. In the desolate winter, this flowerbed is like an oasis in the desert, representing life and vitality, but ironically, it grows on the flesh and blood of an unknown number of people.

Surya pulled out her thin sword with a solemn expression, and she waved her hand to make Mu Yan stop and step into the flowers alone.

The girl's eyes were slightly closed, as if she was feeling something.

Suddenly, a thick green vine burst out from in front of her, shooting straight at her like a sharp arrow. As if she had anticipated this scene, Surya did not dodge or dodge, and the thin sword pierced the tip of the vine with precision, cutting it evenly in two.

There was a dull roar from underground, and the vine broke off on its own, falling to the ground with the afterglow of its thorns, and jumping twice like a snake split in two.

Unable to do a single blow, the Wraith Flower struck again, and several vines rose from all directions, enveloping Surya in it like a cage.

The female swordsman was not afraid at all, and the purple light on the sword flashed, drawing a brilliant arc under her swing, so fast that the lines joined each other end to form a complete circle.

The vines that rose from the Soul Flower were cut in a neat opening, and Surya jumped out of it.

As if sensing the strength of the enemy, it fell silent, and all the vines retreated back into the ground, and the hibiscus flowers all over the ground swayed, and all traces were obscured.

Su Lia slowly moved her steps closer to Mu Yan, she was worried that the other party would suddenly make a move and she would not have time to rescue.

As expected, this time the huge body of the Wraith Flower rushed out directly from under his feet, and someone who was unresponsive didn't even have time to let out an exclamation, and was carried by Surya to a nearby tree.

At this point, the two of them saw the full appearance of this legendary resentful flower for the first time.

I could see that it was a hibiscus flower, just like the one in the flower garden, and it was as splendid as brocade. It's a pity that the flower core was replaced by a terrifying mouth, and the sharp and numerous teeth were covered with weeds and leaves, and the scalp of the person who watched it was numb.

Its torso is also much thicker than that of a normal hibiscus flower, and although it is humanoid, the several vines that stick out around it are much better than a human arm.

"You...... Are you sure you want to face it alone? ”

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Mu Yan swallowed his saliva.

But looking at the resentful soul flower staring at him below, he suddenly had a sense of sadness that the tiger had fallen into Pingyang.

I'm a legendary scholar, and the world's strongest group of 400 killed the world destroyer Alduin, watching his corpse bloom into fireworks and disappear at the end of the world, but now I am forced to stand up and down the tree by a level 40 copy boss, the ups and downs of life are really interesting.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Take me down, and then you go back to the tree." ”

"Are you crazy? You're going to be torn apart by it! ”

Although Mu Yan had never let her down these days, this time the girl refused to let him take the risk.

"It's okay, trust me."

Mu Yan showed a confident smile.

"Okay then."

Surya had no choice but to do so. The moment the two landed, the resentful flower instinctively retreated, thinking that the other party was going to attack again.

But then, it saw the ferocious female swordsman throw her teammates and jump back into the tree?

Are you kidding? Is this an insult?

The monster flower that still has reason seems to have been really frightened, and it can't be patrolled for a while.

"I know you're still sane, that's why you're hesitating, you suspect it's a trap, right?"

Mu Yan took the lead in attacking, regardless of whether the other party listened to it or not.

"You can try to attack me, with my weak physique, I will definitely not be able to fight back."

The Resentful Flower seemed to be a little moved, and a whip-like vine rose from Mu Yan's side and whipped at him like a spinning top.

Then Mu Yan really flew out like a spinning top.

The Wraith Flower was excited, and it opened its bloody mouth and pounced on its prey in the air.

The fishy smell from the paving and the ever-enlarging bright red mouthparts in his field of vision stimulated Mu Yan, and he used all his strength to shout at the last moment:

"Eric!"

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and Surya maintained the posture of drawing his sword and rushing forward, the resentful soul flower rolled Mu Yan, and his mouthparts could stop two centimeters in front of him.

If it weren't for the birds in the trees around them, the scene would have seemed to be still.
