Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Yu Man asked back, "Instead of talking about clearing the level? After all... our future is still not guaranteed."

Serenade didn't answer.

No—she answered.

As an ordinary person without any power at all.

With an extremely sharp, concise and free-spirited soul.

With an expression that needs no words.

She is the guarantee.

……

Arrival at Rumana Seti happened later.

After beating Yu Man, they chatted about life and games all the way. Serenade had been rehabbing on the spacious back of the silver dragon, and her movements had become sharper. The playful feeling also made Xiao Bing feel comfortable.

"Fuck, what a beautiful island."

After landing, Serenade breathed in the rich magic and natural fragrance, expressing admiration from the heart.

This ninth-level territory divides winter and spring, and each has its own charm, whether sunny or cloudy, day or night.

Xiaobing turned back into human form, habitually wrapped in a gauze dress woven from ice mist, like a child going shopping with adults, sticking closely to the two of them.

"It's different from what you see in the video. It's much more magnificent in person... This is your Mage Tower."

"Well—and my assistant."

The "fate changer" had been waiting for a long time. She was dressed neatly, a rare sight, even wearing a dress.

She felt daunted and eager at the same time.

The legendary "Going Against All Things" has arrived in this world, even before our eyes.

"Oh... a tenth-order deity... actually holds the power of... fate."

Serenade was startled. She had already known all this, but after seeing it with her own eyes and experiencing it herself, the feeling was completely different.

The Fate Changer's narrow eyes, like a ghost, haunted the figure before him. "Legends among legends, the strongest being after the history of all worlds and the passage of vast time... 'The One Who Resisted All Things'... turned out to be an orc..."

"We call it Cat Girl." Yu Man corrected from the side.

"Cat...cat girl, okay."

Yu Man looked around: "Where are they?"

The Fate Changer shook his head. "They haven't returned from Shimlabakken yet. It seems like Xiankan has something urgent going on, and they might even need their help."

This is new...

"?" Yu Man immediately asked in the guild: "Where are the people?"

"Don't worry, I'm sending gifts to celebrate 70." Xiaolu replied.

"Ah?" What's going on?

"After her epic victory in the spring season, didn't 70 say in an interview that she was retiring because she was going to take the college entrance exam? She's now openly announcing her identity to the world. The school was courting her popularity and family background, and she got in, so let's celebrate."

It doesn't sound like something worth celebrating...

"Eel, you and Cat Six go ahead and play first. Sorry for me... But we can always meet in real life, right? Oh... and——"

A system prompt appeared, and Yu Man found out that he had been promoted.

He became the vice president of "Snake Restaurant" and was given all permissions.

Alas, after going through so much hardship, I finally got the president's approval.

Just like that—Yu Man pulled Serenade into the guild right then and there.

Now, Mao Laoliu’s nickname is completely confirmed.

"Hello everyone... I'm new here." Serenade was very well-behaved.

"Hey, Cat Six."

"You... hello."

Not so enthusiastic.

After all, everyone already knows this person more or less.

The deer recognized her.

Liu Tong and Qi Hua also recognized him—because Yu Man had already revealed the existence of such a top expert, and even persuaded Liu Tong and Qi Hua to join their team. In short, the gratitude for his recognition was filled with unease.

Yu Man immediately returned to the previous topic -

"Xiaolu, since you can't come back for a while, I plan to go on a long trip."

“…What are you going to do again?”

Yu Man typed a few words—but quickly deleted them.

In this situation, it’s better to tell the truth...right?

"In order to ensure that Mao Laoliu can return to the old world, Lao Huo and I have made a promise, and now I need to fulfill it."

Then, Serenade spoke: "Don't be afraid, Boss Lu, I'm going too - I'm here."

……

ps

(There should be a big recommendation on Friday, and I will start posting more then.)

278 Wall

The night is still long.

Since he had already informed Xiaolu about tonight's schedule, Yu Man decided to go to the appointment seriously.

She still has a small agreement with the "Melting World Dragon" to fulfill.

"So, Xiaoman, are you going to fly with Xiaobing to the abode of the 'Melting World Dragon'? I remember... it was a hellish sea of ​​fire, with magma replacing all the seawater and endlessly spreading across the world... Sooner or later, it would devour the entire world..."

The serenade was originally just a question, but as the conversation started, memories began to emerge.

Of course, she knew the famous "World-Melting Dragon" and what his residence looked like.

Therefore—she suddenly felt a little worried.

"If I go there, I'm afraid I'll die suddenly... After all, that environment is not something an ordinary person can withstand."

Fortunately, times have changed a bit.

Yu Man shook his head and stretched his hands out from his wide sleeves.

On her finger, a ring shone with the brilliance of the sun.

“…Oh…made from the scales of the ‘World-Melting Dragon’…”

"The agreement between Lao Huo and me is that she will ensure your return to the old world, and then she hopes that you can visit our house occasionally. I'll set up a teleportation array for her... Lao Huo is very good at that stuff anyway."

"I see. Then she will come by herself?"

"Well, the ring contains this kind of magic. All we have to do is call her." Yu Man gently stroked the ring and said the second half of the agreement, "I probably need to make an appointment with Lao Huo... I don't know where she wants to go."

Serenade hesitated for a few seconds, but finally gave up.

In order for her to return to the old world smoothly, Yu Man even accepted the conditions of the "Dragon of Melting World"... and since the "Dragon of Melting World" was willing to take action, she was the direct beneficiary. If she jumped out to oppose it now, it would be too inhuman.

Seeing that Serenade didn't say anything, Yu Man injected magic power into the ring.

"...Lao Huo, when can we go out to play? I'm fine with anything."

As his strength grew stronger, and this was not his first time using the ring, Yu Man became quite familiar with it.

You can even use magic to convey messages containing such thoughts.

This is a bit like a friend chat system between players, and it is not difficult for high-level players in the old world.

soon--

"—Fish, wait for me in ten minutes. I'll be here to... prepare a little bit."

"Well, there's also open space around my Mage Tower to set up a teleportation array for you. You can use it when the time comes. You're welcome to come and play anytime."

After a brief exchange, Yu Man told his assistant about this matter.

The "Fate Changer" was confused, thinking that Yu Man had caused so much trouble as soon as he came back... There was the "Dragon of Melting the World" and the "Going Against All Things"... before that, even "Time" came.

But the problem is-

What kind of story will it be when even Yu Man and Xiao Ye Qu, who have such extensive connections and such great reputations, can't get through?

After giving the instructions, Yu Man pushed Serenade back to the inside of the Mage Tower. While the "Melting World Dragon" had not yet arrived, he could finally fulfill another promise.

"Do you still remember... that world in the mirror?" Yu Man said.

"...Yes, and the person in the mirror." Serenade nodded gently, "I won't forget it."

Although it has been a long time, in the small world within the water mirror, the person in the mirror who owned everything once placed his wishes.

Although it was all false, it eventually turned into a ray of truth—reaching Serenade.

She didn't forget.

"The person in the mirror has a gift... a relic... for you."

"……Um."

For Man, the atmosphere inside the Mage Tower is home.

For Serenade, it is a very familiar friend's house.

They walked slowly towards the warehouse area in silence and sadness.

Yu Man specially built a box to store the relics of the Fairy Queen.

Now, with the arrival of its successor, it has finally been opened.

"...This is..." Serenade stared at the jewel-like object.

Yu Man looked at them with reverence. "This is the Crystal of Authenticity—at least that's what I call it. There's only one left."

The person in the mirror is the result of all the truths he has collected over the long years.

It is undoubtedly the highest class, with a brilliant power of level 10.4.

"This item is used to grant wishes," Yu Man said slowly. "The person in the mirror... that is, the reflection of 'lie' entrusted this opportunity to you. Or rather, she originally intended to use this to see you again."

as well as--

"Sorry," Yu Man said apologetically. "I had to use one of the two I originally had to deal with the guys from the Parliament."

"I know...I know."

Serenade carefully put the box away, deeply touching the unexpectedly soft crystal of authenticity.

Yu Man handed her the other bag and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I haven't touched this one yet."

If this is a whole chain of tasks, then the long wait finally paid off, and the things were finally handed over to the people who deserved them.

Serenade thought about it and opened the bag himself.

The crisp sounds of the tiles touching each other sounded as pleasant as the shuffling of mahjong cards.

"...It's just like always, 'lies.'" Serenade quickly figured out what they were: gems, all sorts of gems. "Xiaoman, did I tell you that that liar is actually an ordinary little girl?"

"Yes."

"That guy really loves gems—I didn't expect her reflection to be like that too, haha."

After lighting the magic lamp, Serenade carefully examined the colorful gems, they were all treasures.

Yu Man, who was standing aside, fell into deep thought.

Because the adventurer profession that I asked Cat Senior to choose was... jeweler.

Her idea at the time was simple: the team lacked a craftsman who could make equipment. Since jewelers were the most versatile, as everyone needed to fill more than one jewelry slot, it was naturally the most suitable profession for her.

Can--
