Those years, those jokes, those scum

On the vast plain, on a clean and bare ground artificially treated, a burning bonfire illuminated two numb faces.

"This location is good, and it's close to the water source." Leng Nuan nodded to himself. He knelt on one knee and placed his hands on the ground. The earth surged, and soon a simple earthen building appeared in front of them.

Well, it's good, with doors, windows, a roof, and three separate rooms. Qin Shuangjiang looked at this simple house, which is called an "apartment" in the real world, with a blank expression on his face.

On the other side, the young man Lucas became more and more silent, and with his mature appearance, he looked more and more mature and stable.

"What do you think?" Leng Nuan pointed at the house and asked his friends around him.

"My lord, it's fine."

"good."

The two responded weakly. Did their savior experience the joy of magic? Or was it because he had too much magic power and had nowhere to put it? He never used physical strength when he could use magic. What was even more unacceptable was that magic, such a sacred and magical thing, was used to build houses, make fires, fan the air to cool down, and even fly low in the wind when he was too lazy to walk... Well, it was for them.

No! Even if it's like this, even if it's like this, it's not right! The magicians will cry!

"Then you guys go and rest first. I'll set up a few traps nearby." As he said this, Leng Nuan casually stretched out his hand towards the newly built house, and a "Wind Escape" steadily covered the entire house.

Qin Shuangjiang looked at her hands. She could do it, but it would take more magic. She glanced at the lifeless warrior standing next to her...

It seems that I can understand his feelings more and more. But to be honest, such a "savior" can solve any problem by herself. Strong, meticulous, good at observation and analysis... The more I think about Qin Shuangjiang, the more I feel that she is a little redundant~

Qi~ She wouldn't be envious. Anyway, she is just a guide! What does it matter if the magic power is strong or not!

Humph, she was going to study the map given by Yan Yang. In fact, they did not get the "Sword of Light" directly from the Lord of the Flame Country, but got a hidden map.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yang actually sent the "Sword of Light" to the Elf Realm. This greatly increased the difficulty of their mission. However, Qin Shuangjiang was happy about this. This also meant that the world was being changed.

Qin Shuangjiang walked into the house first while thinking about something. She sat on the chair and thought for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong. When she recovered her thoughts, she found that there were chairs, beds, and tables in the room!

She reached out and touched the bed. The earthen bed was covered with green grass. The originally cold bed felt warm under her palm because of the blessing of fire magic.

"Ah~" Qin Shuangjiang sighed deeply. As a princess with strict upbringing, elegance and nobility, she could only utter the catchphrase she had learned from a certain savior from another world. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "I'm so enviable!"

"Ah sneeze."

"Host, do you have a cold?" The system that was hovering over Leng Nuan's head said as it called up the data page of its own host.

"No, maybe someone is talking about me." Leng Nuan rubbed his nose and said jokingly.

After setting the trap, Leng Nuan, who had nothing to do, walked while thinking about the clues he knew so far.

According to the current progress, as long as she gets the legendary sword and defeats the devil, everything will be fine. So the question is, where is the devil? If she has collected the legendary weapons and assembled a team of heroes, but the devil does not show up, then it would be a happy thing.

There is another question. Why doesn't the Lord of Fire support the destruction of the Demon King?

"Speaking of the Demon King, what is your motive?"

"Motive?" The system, with its limbs on the ground, raised its head and looked at the host. Its golden pupils blinked with confusion.

"Look, whether it's novels or movies, the final result is that the heroes win and the world is saved. There are very few talks about the motives of the demon king to rule the world, and what happens to the world after the demon king wins."

The system leaped over to Leng Nuan's shoulder and said, still puzzled, "Isn't ruling the world your motivation?"

"Well, this is indeed the most superficial motive." After all, she had never really come into contact with creatures like the Demon King. Leng Nuan, who was confused, now had a question mark in her mind. With a wave of her hand, she opened the system interface and observed it. Except for the main task 7 whose progress rate increased by 2% and the main task 1 whose favorability was fluctuating up and down, there were no other changes.

"..." The system, which was also watching, did not ask its host what it had done this time. It licked its paws calmly and wiped its face, feeling emotional. The young lady's psychological journey is really fascinating. The human mind is really mysterious.

Leng Nuan clicked on the system page and checked the items she had. After careful research with the system, she found that the items in this small world had other uses. For example, the dangerous item "Kukara" combined with the system's "Illusion Card" had an unexpectedly good effect. Speaking of "Kukara", Leng Nuan was thinking about it again. The auxiliary system did not appear on the 12th day.

"Auxiliary system?" Because they do not belong to the same system. It only knows that this system is assigned by the main system.

Relying on the only memory of the previous two worlds, Leng Nuan knew that the auxiliary system was only used to report the completion and release of tasks. But starting from this world, the auxiliary system gradually became more involved. It can even play a coercive role. For example, the electric shock punishment last time. That also means that it will run again in certain plots or events. Although it is still impossible to guess what its rules are. But we can know that it is at least related to the main line 2.

So why does the system target friendly forces? What is the original intention of the system? What is the connection between the system and the small world?

The bright moonlight shone over the boundless grassland at night. When Leng Nuan came back, she saw the tall young man sitting by the campfire, motionless and lonely. "Ahem." She reminded him.

She admitted that she was fascinated by the recent breakthrough in magic proficiency. But she didn't want to be offended by her friends. Well, she should restrain herself.

"Ah, sir, you're back." Lucas quickly woke up from his depressed mood and stood up to salute. His movements were skillful and his attitude was respectful yet unfamiliar.

Leng Nuan nodded and motioned Lucas to sit down, and she sat opposite him with a serious attitude.

The light and shadow disturbed Lucas's mind. He carefully sat back in his seat, his hands clenched tightly on his knees, shaking slightly. His face was also serious. He sat quietly like a prisoner waiting for trial, accepting the final verdict.

"Lucas~"

"Yes, my lord."

"What do you think your duty is?"

"Protect the Lord!" Lucas answered vigorously. However, when he thought of his inaction so far, his spirit instantly dropped. His mood was at its lowest point, and Lucas made a blind guess. Lord, Lord, could it be that he thought he was useless and wanted to abandon him?

"That's not right." Leng Nuan looked at him firmly and said, "It's not your job to charge into battle for me and block the danger ahead."

"Ah?" Lucas, who thought he was going to be left behind, opened his mouth and screamed loudly.

"You have the same responsibility as me to save the world."

Leng Nuan stood up, walked to Lucas, patted his shoulder, smiled and said, "You are my companion, not my bodyguard. We should support and protect each other. No one knows what will happen next."

A companion? He is the priest's companion, not a guard? But no one has ever taught him this, is it really okay?

"So, my back is in your hands, buddy."

Lucas was startled when he heard this, and then his confused eyes became bright and determined. He stood up excitedly and spoke incoherently: "My lord, priest, please leave it to me. I will protect it with my life!"

Sitting by the campfire, the system watched its host speak to the upright young man again, giving him some encouraging words. A sudden enlightenment came to his mind.

System: It seems to understand why the host's profession is not "hero" but "priest". No matter how I look at it, it feels like a deja vu of a great charlatan~

"Well, good night." Very good, solved! After saying goodbye to each other, Leng Nuan walked into the house to rest. As a result, when she turned around, she saw the princess standing by the window looking at her.

Have you forgotten that this "legendary armor" on you can resist 99.7% of the attacks in this world? Qin Shuangjiang looked down on him after watching the whole scene. What do they call this kind of behavior in their world? Oh, now I remember, chicken soup for the soul.

"Your Highness, you haven't rested yet." Leng Nuan was the first to greet him in a friendly manner.

"Hmph." In response to Leng Nuan, the princess snorted coldly and looked at him with contempt.

"..." Well, as the team leader, she has the obligation to enlighten the members' depressed and confused emotions, but she really can't handle this one.

The bonfire was crackling on the open grassland, and the bright moonlight in the middle of the night gradually turned red. The people who were sleeping soundly did not notice such a change. On the observation deck of the magnificent palace in the desert, the Lord of the Fire Country looked at the phenomenon that he had seen countless times with a serious expression.

"No matter how many times I see it, it's still so shocking." A muffled voice came from behind Yan Yang.

"There's no one else here. Why are you still wearing a mask?" Yan Yang glanced at the newcomer calmly, his tone filled with disdain and a hint of jealousy.

Qin Zhilan chuckled, not unhappy. She took off her mask and said, "It seems that the war will start earlier. I have already deployed the southern border."

"Your face is like the moon outside. No matter how many times I look at it, it's still shocking." Yan Yang sighed again and again: "It's such a waste to have such a beautiful boy's face on you!" Of course, she is still a little bit worse than him. After all, he is becoming more mature and charming.

"It's obvious that I'm prettier than you, but I don't know why those men and women like you more?" He recalled the time when they were young and traveling together on adventures. Whenever they got into trouble, they could always escape successfully by just pulling down their friend's mask.

Qin Zhilan didn't like people teasing her appearance, but the man in front of her liked to bring it up again and again. She was helpless but couldn't beat him to death. But she wasn't easy to bully. Qin Zhilan spoke coldly, her voice deeper and more magnetic than that of an ordinary woman. "I heard that you were frightened by the new savior a few days ago."

"Alan!" The young king's face darkened instantly. Humph, if only he couldn't beat her!

Qin Zhilan, who felt that he had made a comeback, decided to stop while he was ahead. He turned his face and said seriously: "I know why you did this."

When talking about this, Yan Yang felt a sharp pain in his heart. He pulled open his gorgeous sleeves. A faint light flashed and a dragon pattern appeared on his arm. But the pattern was gradually disappearing. This time, they even lost the protection of the dragon. The future... will they still have a future?

"Ah Yan, delaying time will not do any good to Fresia."

"I know, but at least I can spend more time with her." As the king of a country, he couldn't save his wife. The deep resentment and powerlessness in his heart tortured Yan Yang day and night.

"Huh~" In just one breath, Yan Yang controlled his emotions. What his friend had endured was no less than what he had endured. He didn't want her to worry.

"Come to think of it, this time you actually launched a coup and kidnapped your brother."

"Hmm?" Qin Zhilan waited for the other party's words in confusion.

"Alan, this is a rare opportunity. Do you want to try to usurp the throne and experience what it feels like to be a king?"

"..."

"It's a shame that you're already in your 30s and haven't even had a relationship. By the way..."

"Shut up!"
