A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"Not now, there's no way right now. All I need to do is lend me a hand when the future king appears. The king of the Orphnochs shouldn't appear, neither for humans nor for the Orphnochs."

"Could it be that the king of Orphnoch would harm the Orphnoch?"

"The birth of a king requires energy, and the source of that energy is the Orphnoch. If a king were to be born, who knows how many Orphnochs would be devoured. Moreover, not all Orphnochs are Orphnochs."

Jiang Yang didn't hide anything from the lumberyard; the lumberyard was different from the grass farm.

For Soga, Jiang Yang only needs to prove that he is a comrade, and then tell Soga about King Orphnoch, and Soga will get involved on his own.

But Kiba is different. He has no grudge against the Orphnochs. Although he protects humans, he does not harbor any hostility towards them.

If the stakes aren't clearly explained, the lumberyard might refuse to help.

Although much of what Jiang Yang said was his own conjecture, it was generally accurate and could withstand investigation and scrutiny.

He wasn't lying, so he wasn't afraid of being exposed.

He knew that the lumberyard was in a state of confusion right now. Anyone in his position would be in a state of confusion.

However, he believed that Kiba would come to his senses.

Why is Jiang Yang so eager to get Kiba's help? Why is he telling Kiba so much? Isn't he worried that the plot will get completely messed up?

In response, Jiang Yang could only say that his very existence had already caused the plot to take an unpredictable turn, so why not do what he wanted?

He still disliked the idea of ​​kind people meeting tragic ends, or trusting one another turning against each other and leading to their destruction.

Well, actually, it's just that he came up with this idea on a whim, a sudden whim.

Moreover, to be fair, Kiba's talent is indeed quite good, and he can certainly become a fighting force in the future. It would be best to recruit him.

"Jiang Yang, who exactly are you?"

Jiang Yang had lost count of how many times he had been asked this question. He finished the last sip of tea and looked serious.

"I've had many identities: a captain who protects the world, a traveler searching for his family, a pioneer traversing the universe, and also, the Doctor they call me, the Ashes of No Flame, the Chosen One who fights against fate, a disciple of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, and so many more. I can't even remember what other identities I have."

"What on earth are you..."

Kiba didn't understand what Jiang Yang was saying at all. These identities were completely unrelated, and some even seemed to be made up.

But Jiang Yang's tone and the emotion in it didn't seem fake; it was as if he had really experienced it.

"Just kidding. I am who I am, Jiang Yang, a viewer who takes the game into his own life, a traveler who doesn't know where the camera is, that's all."

Jiang Yang just suddenly had the thought to say this. If it were his high school roommate, he would definitely point his finger at him and yell "Get out of here!" He would also call him a hopeless case.

Unfortunately, people in this world will never understand these things.

"I still don't understand, but thank you for telling me all this."

"It's alright. I should be thanking you for trusting me. But remember, don't tell anyone about these things, for your safety and theirs."

Jiangyang refers to Jiehua and Haitang.

Kiba nodded; he knew the gravity of the situation and wouldn't speak carelessly.

"that."

"Hmm? Any questions?"

How much should I give you this time?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang's face darkened.

That's terrible. My lofty image has been completely ruined by that one sentence. But what can I do? I brought this on myself.

I received 1,000 yuan from the lumberyard before, but I never expected it to come back to haunt me here.

"Free, we are allies."

I didn't say anything more, because saying more would make me look bad.

However, he was completely unaware that some people are born without certain qualities.

Thinking that he had already said everything, he prepared to get up and leave, feeling awkward if he stayed any longer.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really embarrassing to say those things so seriously.

slip away.

Just as he got up, he heard the doorbell ring, and Kiba quickly went to open the door.

Then, he noticed that the three people at the door seemed a bit confused.

Jiang Yang looked over curiously, only to find himself somewhat bewildered.

There were three people standing at the door: Nagata Yuka, Kikuchi Keitaro, and Sonoda Mari.

How did these three end up together?

He saw the clothes in Keitaro's hand.

I remember now, Keitaro seemed to have mentioned that Yuka came to the shop to do laundry last night, but Jiang Yang was in a bad mood last night because Snail Orphino had some things to do, so he didn't pay attention.

"Ah, is it you?"

The one who spoke was Truth, who seemed somewhat surprised that it was Kiba Yuji who opened the door.

Kiba, meanwhile, was somewhat confused as he watched Keitaro and Yuka exchanging glances.

Anyway, let them in first.

"Ah, Yang Jun, what are you doing here?"

The sullen Keitaro saw Jiang Yang and looked utterly surprised. This surprise even overshadowed the fact that a man lived in Yuka's house.

Then things got a bit messy inside.

Jiang Yang just smiled; it seemed he would need to explain for a while.

After the explanation, everyone sat down on the sofa.

Keitaro had a big smile on his face.

"What? Jiang Yang, you know Jiehua's relatives and then met Jiehua by chance. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

After learning that Kiba was just a "relative" of Yuka and that they were actually staying there for a wedding, Keitaro visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't doubting Jiehua, but simply worried about her safety, and now he was relieved.

"You didn't even ask."

Jiang Yang shrugged and took another sip of tea, which Jiehua had just poured for him.

Sure enough, the tea was very hot.

"Um, thank you so much for what happened before."

As he spoke, Truth took out the money and returned it to Timber Yard.

According to her, the timber yard had helped her before.

Well, Jiang Yang still remembers this. It seems that Zhenli and Qiao wanted to infiltrate the Zhinao Group, but they needed staff to lead them into the building or to have employee badges.

But where would they get one? So they decided to steal, or rather, borrow one.

Then they set their sights on Muba, who seemed kind and easy to bully, and ended up getting arrested.

"No, don't worry about it. By the way, how is your brother now?"

Truth was taken aback, then remembered that in order to avoid being held accountable, she had lied and said that Qiao was her brother, who was uneducated and unemployed, and that the two of them had not eaten for several days, so she thought of stealing some money to buy a meal.

She looked at Jiang Yang, feeling somewhat awkward.

"He seems to be trying to do something right now."

"Your brother?"

Keitaro looked puzzled. He had known Mari for a while, but he had never heard that Mari had an older brother.

Although she was ashamed, Zhenli still forced herself to speak, and she resolved to lie less in the future.

"It's about Brother Qiao."

"Brother Qiao?"

Keitaro still didn't understand what had happened.

But judging from Zhenli's expression, he probably sensed that it was best not to delve too deeply into it.

Then I went to chat with Yuka.

Kiba, on the other hand, was pleased to hear that Takumi was trying to find a good solution. He was happy to see a prodigal son turn over a new leaf.

"That's great. I really hope he can repent and become a better person."

"Ah, yes, that's how it is."

Jiang Yang noticed that Zhenli's gaze towards Kiba was a little strange, as if she was looking at him through some kind of filter. He guessed that Zhenli had developed feelings for Kiba.

Yes, Kiba is handsome, kind, mature and steady in his dealings with others, which makes him seem very reliable.

However, he couldn't manage this matter. He could barely interfere in other things, but when it came to matters of the heart, especially other people's relationships, he couldn't really meddle. At most, he could only offer some guidance, but given the current situation, he didn't need to say anything.

On the other hand, it's Keitaro's side.

"Ahem, Keitaro, aren't you going to say something?"
