Chapter 246

Leon put down the communication prop that had lost all its brightness and temporarily turned back into a blank animal skin . He thought for a long time and finally sighed deeply .

“I really did not think that I would have such a day…”

He took out this precious communication prop and some other things and put them into the space pendant that was meant to store items . This was a gift from Ambassador Bena Tide of the Storm Sea Embassy . It was shaped like a conch smaller than a section of a little finger, but it could store many things in it . Not only that, but it was more sturdy than one could imagine, so strong that it could not be broken even in a legendary expert fight .

This was a special local product from the deep sea . It was one of the finest storage props on Earth . Even the top quality space pouch was not worth mentioning when compared with this .

After all, the space pouch could be broken by a dagger with just a bit of magic power, even if it was the highest grade one . And once the storage prop broke, the things inside would disappear to the endless void inside, almost impossible retrieve .

He carefully checked the things inside the conch again and nodded once he confirmed there was no mistake . Then he put it on, walked out of the governmental affairs office, and came to the city owner’s office .

Carissa Riley, the city owner, was sitting behind the office table with a stern look, seemingly quite busy with a very thick document . Once she saw him enter, she was caught surprised and appeared to be a little flustered . She hurriedly put the document on the table face down and blushed suspiciously .

Leon’s eyesight was really powerful . He had already seen clearly what “document” it was in that moment . On the outside, it looked like a document, but in fact it was a knight novel .

He could not help but sigh and shook his head . He advised her, “Carissa, can you please stop reading knight novels all the time? These are all stories made up by bards!”

Caught in the act, Carissa, the city owner flushed red and stammered as she answered, “I think they are very well written, very realistic… especially when that knight leads a group of people to trek across steep mountains, and starts developing in an inaccessible place . Every scene is very vivid, just like the real world…”

Leon was stunned for a while as if he recalled something . Then he asked, “Is the author’s name Saint-Vallier Von Stovski Francis?”

Carissa quickly turned the novel to the front page, and she nodded again and again . “Eh? Have you seen this novel too?”

“No, I know the author . ” Leon could not help but smile bitterly . “The part you have just described was written after he interviewed me . The content greatly exaggerates my narrative . There is no truth to it at all!”

“Huh?!” Carissa, who held the title of “most beautiful lady on the east coast” for over 20 years, opened her mouth wide and unladylike as possible . Her face was just stoned .

“The author was that Shoggoth, do you remember? It was that guy who sang in the theme park and wrote adventure stories for rich men who wanted some excitement during their free time,” Leon introduced further . “Ever since that fellow found this road of fortune, he got very busy in making up stories based on those rookies’ adventures in the underground mazes . He wrote their ‘adventure’ experiences as exciting and heart-stringing as possible . According to hearsay, his business was getting better along with his earnings, and of course, he was getting more and more skilled at writing . The last time I was talking to Fafnir, he told me that the fellow had pasted a note in his study room that says ‘Have you written five thousand lines today? No? Quickly go and write some words!’ to motivate himself . ”

Carissa was stunned, and felt like her young girl’s heart had been smashed into pieces . She was so mad she jumped up and yelled, “D*mn Shoggoth! He even boasted that the contents of this book all came from true and reliable firsthand information, without any fabrication or exaggeration… I am going to get him into trouble!”

“You can find a group of lady readers to ask him to write faster . I think the effect will be very good . ” Leon told her about the idea that Fafnir had when they were drinking last time . Then his face turned grave and he spoke in a serious manner . “I want to go out for a while . ”

“Oh, good . ” Carissa simply replied and sat down again . Then she asked, “Where to? The theme park?”

“The Eagle Kingdom . ”

Carissa jumped up again . She stared at him wide-eyed in disbelief .

“You… you… you’ve finally decided to go back to be king? You still feel Garth City is too small and not worthy for you?” Tears started to well in Carissa’s eyes . She looked really pitiful .

She was so enchanting at this moment, and so lovely . If these two people were on the street, there would surely be a group of angry young men picking up swords and sticks, hammers, axes, benches, bolts, brooms, mops, sausages, carrots… every kind of weapon, growling and attacking Leon for hurting her .

Leon choked as she said that . He was speechless .

At this moment his heart was broken . If he were to use a description from Earth, it was as if there were 1000 roaring emperors named Ma in his heart, screaming, “What the hell is this!”

A few seconds later, he finally settled down his mood . “Why would you think so?”

“I have actually… found out your true identity . You were so great, that year you had usurped the throne… the usurped had put on… the crown of Eagle…” Carissa said as she sobbed . If she was a common woman, the makeup would have turned into a mess . “I have been afraid, afraid that this day would come… it finally has . ”

Leon sighed deeply . “I am already a deacon, why would I be a king?”

“Who said a deacon cannot be king?”

Leon was suddenly speechless . It was true what Carissa said . A king who was also a deacon was in fact not so rare at all .

“I really have no intention to go back and be king!” he insisted .

“Then why are you going back?” Carissa asked .

Leon hesitated and then sighed deeply again .

“Eagle Kingdom is on the verge of extinction . I want to go and see if I can do anything . ”

This time Carissa jumped out from behind the desk and hugged him tightly . “You cannot go!”

“Ah?!” Leon was stunned once again, not understanding the situation .

“I have heard the news . The Eagle Kingdom has been invaded by the Orc Empire army . There are already eight legendary experts!” Carissa’s intelligence went online immediately . She yelled, “If you go over now, you are as good as dead!”

“I am not going over to fight the eight legendary experts in a group…” Leon blabbed against his will . “I will be careful . ”

“You are lying! Just now when you said that, your heart beat a little faster!”

Leon looked at the city owner who had buried her head in his chest and could not help but sigh deeply .

This position was comparable to a lie detector!

“I really will be careful, I am not on a suicide mission,” he persuaded quietly . “I am just going back to have a look and see if I can do anything . That is all . ”

“I don’t believe it!”

“When I go back this round, the deacon of the Eagle temple will be welcoming me . The old man is an expert at the top of the legendary realm and can enter the undead realm . With his help, do you think there is any possibility that I will meet with danger?”

“I don’t believe it!”

“I still have a life-saving treasure, I even have an artifact! Do you remember? With that artifact I can kill my way out of an army of 10000 men and horses!”

“I don’t believe it!”

“Even if you don’t believe in me, at least you have to believe in His Highness . He is so great, He must be able to bless me…”

“I don’t believe it!”

At the end of the day, no matter what Leon said, Carissa still hugged him with all her might, repeating the only three words: I don’t believe .

The absolute expert genius swordsman who could kill through and through when facing a 10000-strong army could not do anything at this moment .
