ten minutes later

Luo Yuan: Hey.

Luo Yuan climbed up to the top of the mountain neatly, stretched, took off his mask, and began to adjust his breathing.

after a few breaths

Luo Yuan: Phew, as expected of me, I was able to report to the captain and ask for weapons while climbing the mountain, but I almost fell down. This part was a bit exciting.

As he spoke, Luo Yuan looked at the castle that was integrated with the man-made city wall and put on the mask that could reduce the sense of presence.

Luo Yuan: Then let’s find a way to convince that old gentleman.

After speaking, Luo Yuan took a step forward and the next second he disappeared into the wind and snow, and reappeared in a shadow in the city.

Luo Yuan used his ability to reduce his presence a little while looking out the window and said: "You're lucky, you were transported directly to the mission location. Now let's find where the old gentleman is."

Luo Yuan said as he opened the door and walked out.

Luo Yuan looked at the sign on the door and shrugged: Well, at least it's not a women's bathroom, but what should we do next? There is no map to look at here.

While thinking about it, Luo Yuan jumped out of the window and hid behind the beam the next second.

Next second

A sound of footsteps is getting closer and closer

Well, I said there won’t really be a war next, right? The Char family next door to me have run away.

I don’t know, but the Grand Duke has already gone to the palace, hoping to bring back good news.

oops! Don't worry, that one is the eagle of our Frost Country! Will definitely bring good news!

Ah!

Luo Yuan said just after the footsteps faded away.

Luo Yuan: Did you hear everything?

Chu Yunqi: Of course I am not deaf yet.

Luo Yuan: So what do you think?

Chu Yunqi: Nothing special. The old gentleman will not give in easily until the last moment. However, I originally expected that the losers would use various reasons to avoid the old gentleman. It seems that someone is indeed giving him a try. They support me.

Luo Yuan: If that’s the case, that’s good news for me.

Chu Yunqi: It’s the same for me. By the way, do you think those troublesome guys you mentioned can convince that old gentleman?

Luo Yuan: If the old gentleman is still a tough guy like in the intelligence, then there is no need to worry, but those clowns are very good at taking advantage of loopholes.

Chu Yunqi: Don’t worry, that old gentleman respects tradition very much.

Luo Yuan: Oh? Is there anything you can do?

While asking questions, Luo Yuan jumped up to the roof and hid.

Chu Yunqi: Haha, if you are interested in fairy tales, you will know about "The Elf Princess and Knight in the Land of Ice and Snow".

Luo Yuan: I still know this. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a story about a princess who was loved by the elves and a knight who defeated the great devil, right? Why are you finally not going to hide your career?

Chu Yunqi: ...Don't you think this profession is not suitable for me at all?

Luo Yuan: I just think that a guy who obviously has a super powerful rare profession but doesn’t use it like a half-hearted tsundere is really in need of bullets!

Chu Yunqi: Get out! Obviously elemental elves usually only stay with people who are pure in heart!

Luo Yuan: Is that the lowest level elemental spirit that basically only has instincts? Are all the high-level elves with independent consciousness around you? After all, only you, as one of the saints, the Saint of Spirits, can understand what they say. After all, even our boss can't do this.

Chu Yunqi: ... Strictly speaking, she understands, but she just doesn’t want to hear it. How could she not be able to do something that even I can do?

Luo Yuan: Who told her to cheat? But what does your confidence have to do with it?

Chu Yunqi: Because the princess in the story and I are both spiritual saints, and the most important thing is the ending of the story. The reason why the story is a story is because it is different from reality and the ending of the story is different. Even though they created a chain that could seal the demon with the help of the elemental elves, they could only seal it.

Luo Yuan: I roughly know something, but how do you know it?

Chu Yunqi: I have good ears, and I got the key items they used to seal the demons a few years ago.

Luo Yuan: Why don't you tell me that you used props to threaten that old gentleman.

Chu Yunqi: Do you think I am a fool? If that was the case, the old man wouldn't fight me. I would just tell him that the seal wouldn't last long.

Luo Yuan: He would actually believe you?

Chu Yunqi: He believed me after I asked the elves to do a little exercise. By the way, the old gentleman was the descendant of the elf princess in the story, so he could tell that I was the Saint of the Spirit.

Luo Yuan: You are really lucky.

Chu Yunqi: Is it luck? Maybe it's half and half. It's because he is the descendant of a hero that he is ostracized by the idiots in the palace.

Luo Yuan: Typical idiotic behavior, but in this case wouldn't it be better for you to reveal your identity directly?

Chu Yunqi: Without armor, my abilities are more supportive. I don’t have any key abilities to prove my identity, right? After all, I don’t have a lot of passive abilities like the boss does.

Luo Yuan: Although anyone with some knowledge can see it, I have to complain that your identity card is really difficult to prove.

Chu Yunqi: Stop talking! That's why I don't want to reveal my identity. After all, it's not only difficult to prove my identity, but also a lot of trouble after proving my identity.

Luo Yuan: So among the three saints of the Sword of Heaven, you are the only one who has not exposed your identity.

Chu Yunqi: If exposed, I would only create more hatred, right? The mind of the Heaven-Defying Sword is actually that the saint's hatred is much stronger than that of An Xiangsheng.

Luo Yuan: Yes, but will this old gentleman really fall to our side just because of this?

Chu Yunqi: Anyway, I don’t think he can bring back any good news.

Luo Yuan: That’s best. After all, I have some bad news.

Chu Yunqi: ...what’s not so good news?

Luo Yuan: One of the chains that sealed the devil was broken.

Chu Yunqi: Oh, you mean the one in Spring Breeze Valley? Then it's okay. That line has been cut off for who knows how long!

Luo Yuan: ...Hey!

Chu Yunqi: Don't worry, I've been paying attention to the seal's condition. As long as those fools aren't stupid enough to break the chain, nothing will happen.

Luo Yuan: What the hell? Aren't there a total of five chains directly locked on the demon's body?

Chu Yunqi: You know a lot, but there are six in total.

Luo Yuan: The reason I know will be discussed later. I remember there were only five chains, right?

Chu Yunqi: There are six in total. The sixth chain locks the core of the devil, which is the key to making the devil lose its power and be sealed.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!
