Chapter 166: Where to Go, Who to Kill, How Many?
Ivas woke up to the sound of shaking and crisp music.
…… It was like being on a boat.
Eivas only felt a headache in himself......
That even reminded Ivus of how he felt when he woke up the next day after a hangover from his previous life.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw himself lying on a dry, simple bed. And the sun shines through the window on the quilt.
- The thin quilt is covered with pure white silk in the style of elves, without any ornaments. The room he was in was small, probably less than ten square meters. Aside from the bed beneath him, there was only a wardrobe and a desk with a cupboard.
On the desk were stamped documents and on the cabinet were all kinds of trinkets.
a brownish-red crystal cup that seemed to be used for drinking, with a bark-like bumpy feel; A palm-sized golden music box with its box opened, and from inside jumped a small figure made of rubies, performing an intricate dance...... That's where the song came from; There is also a square white crystal, which looks like a "photograph" and a "golem", and has a brief animation that is preserved in the crystal.
Ivas first closed the music box that seemed to act as an alarm clock. Then he stretched out his rough and powerful right hand and picked up the "piece" of moving photos.
The protagonist in it is undoubtedly a young man with a bright smile and bright blond hair.
He put his arm around the neck of the female companion next to him, hugged her intimately like "good brothers", and gave a thumbs up to the "camera", as if he said something. His hair glistened in the sun, and his pupils shone like turquoise.
His ears are pointy and long. Of all the elves that Ivas had ever seen, his ears were at least the length of a "pure white" virgin or Cardinal Matilda.
And the female companion he was holding had long straight black hair.
She has ominous scarlet pupils that block half of her eyes when they fall, giving her a rather somber look. And what caught Aihuas's attention the most were the two long dragon horns on his forehead.
It was a curved dragon horn similar to that of Lygia.
[This is my ...... And Valrhona]
A thought popped through Evas's mind.
This is...... I?
Ivus was slightly stunned.
- Wait, is this really me?
Self-doubt is like a sharp blade that pries open a small hole in memory.
And like the egg that flowed out after the eggshell had been knocked out, Ivus remembered everything for a moment.
At this promotion ceremony, there is not even a waiting room? I was thrown in as soon as I closed my eyes?
…… Oh yes. This time it's a single row.
If you don't need to arrange a book, you really don't have to wait for someone in the waiting room. And this time there is no "host" at all, because it is the Lord of the Scales who presides over it himself......
It was only after realizing who he was, and finally heard the ritual announcement of the Lord of the Scales in his ears.
Unlike the hoarse and unpleasant voice of Ivas during his first promotion ceremony, the voice used by the Lord of Scales this time is as mysterious and mature as when he appeared in front of Ivus:
"You are Khlegin Dragonburn, the famous White Knight.
"As a 'mediator,' you walk above the kingdom of mankind, acting chivalrous and judging right from wrong with your own will. Your name spreads everywhere with the wind, and humans respect you very much.
"But one day, one of the people you sanctioned shouted: 'You are so nosy, why don't you take care of the giants, they eat more people in a day than we kill in a month!'
"—You know what a giant is. It was the darling and bloodline of the Supreme Heaven of the Pillar God, a naturally powerful person who could wrestle with dragons.
"The savage and warlike race does not revere the Nine Pillars God, but exalts the Supreme Heaven alone. They ruled the order of the pillar gods by force, and regarded the High Heaven as the most powerful of the supreme gods.
"And the Most High Heaven is also the most violent pillar god, and for thousands of years he is the only one who will personally punish the disrespectful. But it is also for this reason that there are indeed those who regard the Most High Heaven as the 'one true God', which is one of the main difficulties in the mission of the Church of the Nine Pillars...... For only the Most High Heaven performs frequent miracles and is known to all races.
"But you also find it very tricky. Because giants are so powerful, they can reach the fifth level almost by the time they reach adulthood; Giants are not social creatures, yet they have a terrible 'skinless'. Even a group of two papal guards would be difficult to stand up to a skinless one.
"Although this matter involves pillar gods, giants, and powerful enemies - you think this is the only thing to do. While there are humans who eat snakemen, birdmen, and lizardmen, only giants take this devouring for granted.
—and as you investigate, you are furious to discover that there are elves on top of the giant's recipe in addition to humans. To be precise, giants feed on all races, even their own kind. The vanquished are slaves, the defeated are food, and for the giants, slaves are reserves. Had it not been for the giants who had gathered on Avalon under the infinite food of the Cauldron, they would have become a race that would have brought untold calamity.
"So you decide to say goodbye to your pregnant wife and take your retinue to Avalon Island for an adventurous investigation. And your wife is also your mount, Valrhona the Dragon. As the Dragon Knight, you have lost your mount, so your power will be much diminished, so you have temporarily transferred a Pegasus to replenish your power.
"These followers of yours are not your subordinates, but your friends who were moved by your righteous deeds and voluntarily followed you when you were chivalrous in the past. Their race includes elves, humans, lizardmen, snake people, goblins, and even dwarves—forty-eight in all, who have sailed with you to Avalon.
"And one of your secrets is...... You are a natural prophet who can get some fragments of the future from your dreams. When you arrive in Alctos and wake up from your dream, you already know ...... You're going to die here this time. And the Giant Priests also see this future, and they will capture you in the future.
"What will you do?"
As the Lord of Scales finished broadcasting, the mission of the Lord of Scales appeared in front of Aihuas's eyes.

"it!"
Ai Huasi blurted out in amazement: "The boss is awesome!" ”
He had been in this world for so long, and he had never seen such a clean, simple, and straightforward mission request.
- Where to go, what to kill, how many.
Other than that, it's clean and there's nothing.
He finally knew why the Lord of Scales was convinced that this promotion ceremony would catch Xiong Tianji......
This time, Ivas played the elven hero "Sir Hellechin" who he saw in Eagle Point Village before and turned into a wild hunt after death!
He was arguably the most hated man by the giants.
In a sense, he was the first to question "why man-eating giants can exist", the first to ask "is this right, even if it has always been like this", and the first to try to overthrow the rule of the giants. It was only from him that humanity realized that "giants can be resisted".
Until then, humans had only seen giants as a race of gods who had to be feared and worshipped to avoid destruction – even if they were evil gods.
This promotion ceremony has nothing but killing giants is killing giants. There was no decryption, no outwitting, no play-based pit - although he had to remain played, as long as he ran away, these Hlechin's henchmen would not be able to catch up with him.
But...... I have a slight problem, boss.
Ivas looked through the mission again, skeptical of his new boss's plans.
…… Let's just fish straight hooks?
Didn't this Xiong Tianji know that this was wrong?
Can this really be caught?
