A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

“Hey, Wu Yue girl, I didn’t expect to see you here, woo woo woo!”

There was a hearty laugh behind me, and at the same time, a heavy force came from my shoulder.

"Uncle Stone...long time no see...you are still so energetic."

Wu Yue bared his teeth, turned around and greeted Shi Dong.

"Haha, this isn't happiness."

"Um...are you alone?"

Wu Yue looked behind Shi Dong and found no other companions.

"Of course not... Eh? Where are the people?"

Shi Dong looked around in confusion, then seemed to have discovered something and shouted loudly:

"Hey - you two, look who I met?"

Wu Yue followed Shi Dong's gaze.

I saw a man and a woman walking towards this side side by side.

"Ms. Melissa? And... Mr. Nagash?"

Wu Yue recognized the two of them at a glance.

I didn't expect these two people to come to Reker City.

"Hey, Wu Yue, why is it you?"

Melissa asked in surprise.

"It seems that we are really destined to be together. It has been more than two years since we last met in Freedham. Time flies."

Nagash said with a sigh.

"Since we are destined to meet, how about we find a place and talk slowly?"

Stone suggested.

......

A few people randomly found a street pub.

The owner was a rabbit woman, which was somewhat unexpected.

After sitting down, Wu Yue got a general understanding of their situations in the past two years from their conversations.

First up is Stone.

He has been running between Friedham and Danger City, responsible for communicating with Batoria on various cooperation matters.

This time I came to Reker City only on the orders of the Dwarf King to observe the authenticity of the so-called heroes of the church.

Of course, he was alone.

The dwarves don't seem to have any interest in participating in the Pilgrimage of Light.

So just sending someone to show your appreciation is enough.

On the way here, Stone met Talal's delegation, and they went into the city together...

Next are Nagash and Melissa.

According to Melissa, the two got married last year, and this time they came to Rekel City to represent the Kingdom of Talal to observe the Holy Baal Ceremony.

In nature, it is the same as the delegations from the Kingdom of Dorok and the Kingdom of Promont.

"So, you two have no intention of participating in the Shengba?"

Wuyue asked.

Obviously, they are both very strong.

Especially Mr. Nagash.

Moreover, as a country where merchants gather, the Kingdom of Talal should attach great importance to interests. How could it miss this opportunity?

"There are other people participating in the Shengba, so we won't join in the fun."

Melissa explained calmly.

For her, the mercenary group is more suitable for her.

"So, Miss Wu Yue is preparing to participate in the Shengba?"

Nagash did not explain anything, but instead grasped Wu Yue's purpose.

"Well, I want to try it."

"...Yes, Miss Wu Yue's strength was obvious to all when she was in Freedum. I would like to congratulate her in advance."

Nagash laughed.

"Haha, of course, Wu Yue girl is not an ordinary person, any holy pull, I will definitely get it!"

"Uncle Stone, the result is still hard to say..."

"It's not a compliment, Miss Wu Yue. It's a real compliment."

Nagash continued.

"But, I wonder if Miss Wu Yue is going to represent the Kingdom of Dorok or the New World Alliance to participate in the Saint Bat this time?"

This seems to have some profound meaning.

"I don't represent any forces, I only represent myself."

"Is this so?"

Nagash thought for a moment, then said:

"As the champion of the Ten Thousand Races Feast, she didn't even represent her hometown in the Holy Race... But it doesn't matter. With Miss Wu Yue's strength, she really doesn't need to rely on any power. On the contrary, the church needs to consider the impact and will definitely not dare to restrict Miss Wu Yue's qualifications."

"The Feast of All Races? Is it the annual event of the New World Alliance? I didn't expect Wu Yue to do such a big thing without making any noise."

Melissa exclaimed.

"Uh... not worth mentioning..."

After all, the Banquet of All Races is just a competition among the younger generation and it doesn’t mean anything.

The few of them were chatting animatedly, and the topic turned to Saint Bab himself.

"By the way, have you found out the details of that hero?"

Melissa asked Nagash.

"No, the church has a strict blockade on the news. I don't think even the local Thieves Guild would be able to find out."

"Just looking at the church's layout, I guess this might be the real deal."

"After all, there is no reason for the church to create such a big fuss for a fake hero."

"Wow, really? That's great timing."

Melissa was a little excited.

It's not that she has a yearning for heroes, but once the war starts, she and her group of snakes and scorpions will be able to show their skills on the battlefield.

Nagash shook his head slightly, not surprised by this.

Although the war is coming, the Azral Chamber of Commerce and "Netherfire" can also benefit from it.

"Hero? If you ask me, no matter how loud the fanfare is, it doesn't mean anything. What kind of person is this church? I'm afraid this hero is just like the previous ones, all fakes..."

Shi Dong's attitude can basically represent the opinions of the entire dwarf race.

The dwarves only recognize the first generation of heroes and will never believe that anyone can be called a hero.

"It doesn't matter. Whether it's real or fake, as long as it brings benefits, who cares?"

Melissa spread her hands.

Her thoughts are actually the common thoughts of the upper class.

The heroes are just there to deceive ordinary people, real benefits are what they pursue.

"It's just that every Holy Light Pilgrimage launched by the church over the years has ended in failure. The names of those heroes have not been recorded. Wu Yue, you have to be careful. If the pilgrimage fails, it fails. Safety is the most important thing."

This statement actually discourages people's enthusiasm.

But Wu Yue also knew that Melissa was doing this for her own good.

Perhaps it is time to treat this seemingly supremely glorious Holy Light Tour with a normal attitude...

Being too optimistic or too pessimistic is not the right state.

Wu Yue never thought about gaining any benefits from this Holy Light Tour. She just wanted to "do something" and "leave something behind", nothing more.

They chatted for a while and shared their experiences.

The time has come to noon.

"It's almost time, Miss Wu Yue, Mr. Shi Dong, I have some important things to do here, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

Nagash stood up and said goodbye to the two men.

"Then Wu Yue, come on, Shengba. Come visit Campino City if you have the chance."

Melissa also waved goodbye and left the restaurant with Nagash.

"This doesn't look like a couple..."

Looking at the two people's leaving backs, Shi Dong murmured.

"Uncle... maybe this is how you two have always gotten along? After all, you know each other too well..."

"I'm old...I don't understand what young people think."

......

"Speaking of which, Uncle Stone, isn't Batoria participating in this Saint Pull?"

Wuyue asked.

"Well, they don't have time to participate now. They are all busy dealing with domestic work and can't get away at all."

"Besides, those powerful people who originally belonged to Batoria have long since gone to whoever they want to join. There is no one to choose from if we want to join."

The Republic of Batoria now has to face retaliation from the southern countries.

Among the five-nation coalition, only the Kingdom of Fargar let bygones be bygones, and the Kingdom of Talal was willing to let Batoria go for the sake of the dwarves' rich mineral resources.

The remaining two southern kingdoms, Promontory and Etherland, are definitely the ones that pick on the weak.

The remnants of the old slave owners in Batoria must have been the cause of this.

But due to the allies behind Batoria, the dwarves, they did not dare to make any big moves.

At most, it would just create some border frictions or hinder Batoria economically.

If we really want to talk about any changes in the future, it will be a long time later.

At least for now, Batoria cannot stand on the stage set by the church...

"It's almost time for me to go, Wu Yue girl. If you succeed this time, I'll have the old man from the Lie Hammer clan make you another gift to celebrate."

After Shi Dong finished speaking, he also walked towards the door, and his short and strong body was soon submerged in the crowd.
