This Fair-Skinned Boy Is Old Man Lance from Over Two Thousand Years Ago?!

Like a young Old Man Lance? Annie glanced down at her sketch. She hadn't noticed it while drawing, but now, looking at it so closely, the person on the paper really did resemble Old Man Lance in Saint Lan.

Strange, she clearly drew a corrupt official from more than two thousand years ago, so how did Old Man Lance appear on her drawing paper?

Annie was completely baffled.

Perhaps he was so impressed by what Old Man Lance looked like when he was young that he subconsciously drew Old Man Lance in the picture? That's possible.

Besides this possibility, there is another possibility: that the corrupt official from more than two thousand years ago looked a lot like the young Old Man Lance.

"Destroy this painting immediately. If Old Man Lance sees you slandering and defaming him like this, he might ask you for compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and damage to his reputation."

The old man is now the Earl of Saint-Blue; he can't afford to pay for lost wages or damage to his reputation alone.

"Old Man Lance is a bit stingy, but he's not greedy. When he goes out on missions, he sometimes encounters rare and precious materials, but he doesn't take them. If he encounters a treasure chest full of gold and silver, he won't even look at it."

Annie nodded in agreement. When the old man taught her to draw, he said he would charge tuition, but when she used the reward money she earned to pay the tuition, he only accepted one gold coin as a token.

She was occasionally used as a guinea pig by Old Man Lance to test drugs. During her time learning sketching from Old Man Lance, she transformed into many strange creatures, and once even grew a beard, which terrified her.

A spark ignited at her fingertips, and Annie burned the drawing paper. Old Man Lance had said that one should try not to leave one's own portrait in unfamiliar areas.

If you're unlucky, you might attract unclean or evil creatures.

The Lost Ancient Domain is no good place; it's better to burn the drawing paper.

"Be careful, if we go any further, we might encounter Man-Eating Flower, Vampire Vine, and Beast-Snaring Grass. The scent of dragon dung may not be effective against these plant-type monsters."

"Receive."

The corrupt official stone carving was just a minor incident. The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild continued their journey, during which several members were attacked by Vampire Vine. The Bronze Guild members unleashed Fireball Spell, bombarding the Vampire Vine with Fireball Spell. Afterwards, one of the guild members even took out a spray bottle and sprayed some herbal remedy around the Vampire Vine.

Old Man Lance once said, "Cut the weeds and wipe them out at the root."

Sensing the fate of their companion, some of the Vampire Vine that were preparing to attack the Bronze Guild members nearby tangled together and trembled in the bushes.

They're not afraid of fire; as long as the roots are still there, what does it matter if some vines are burned? Spraying pesticides is going too far; that stuff seeps directly into the soil, almost poisoning their companions. "For dealing with plant-type monsters, we still have to rely on Old Man Lance. Back then, the old man terrified many plant-type monsters with his phrase 'cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.' Over time, almost all the plant-type monsters in our kingdom know that there's a white-haired old man who likes to carry a medicine pot and communicate with them."

"I've seen too few plant-based monsters in the Lost Ancient Domain."

The strong and robust Matthews grinned, took out a bluish-green medicine pot from his Space Ring, adjusted the straps, and slung it over his shoulder, ready to let the plant-type monsters in the Lost Ancient Domain experience the splendor of Old Man Lance's medicine pot.

The spray bottle behind him was secretly taken from Old Man Lance.

The plant-type monsters in the Lost Ancient Domain were unaware of the power of this sprayer. In their kingdom, carrying this sprayer while walking through the Deep Mountain Old Forest meant they wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by plant-type monsters. "Matthews, that sprayer you're carrying looks familiar... Wait, isn't that the sprayer that Old Man Lance was looking for before he left the Bronze Guild? No wonder he couldn't find it; you must have taken it."

"What do you know? Would someone like the old man not be able to find the spray bottle? He obviously knows I took it. Didn't you see that for a while, the old man kept asking me to test the medicine?"

"Is that so?"

"Otherwise, do you think the old man is really stupid?"

"Then I'm relieved."

Bald Leisente grinned and pulled out an axe that was more than half a person's height.

"Brother, that axe looks familiar. Damn it, isn't that the axe that Old Man Lance used to chop wood? You beast, you even stole the axe that Old Man Lance used to chop wood and cut down trees?"

"Didn't you notice that I was often called by Old Man Lance to test medicine? Once, after drinking Old Man Lance's medicine, I even grew black rabbit ears and a rabbit tail. I've sacrificed too much for this axe."

"But it's worth it! Old Man Lance's axe has a deterrent effect on plant-based monsters. Treant, upon seeing this axe, will either jump up in fright or shout, 'Young friend, let's talk this out!'"

"Give me this axe, and I'll treat you to a hundred foot washes when we get back."

"Get lost."

"I was wondering where my axe and spray bottle, which I'd been eyeing for so long, had gone. Turns out you two old bastards stole them. Now when I want to steal something, I can't find anything suitable, so I ended up just taking the shovel that Old Man Lance left at the gate."

"???"

Matthews and Leisente saw that guild member Jerome had a black and red shovel in his hand. This shovel was a good thing; it was very convenient for digging roots, digging holes, burying people, transplanting, and slapping people.

This shovel was something they had been eyeing for. "You beast! You even stole Old Man Lance's shovel! No wonder he was digging with his hands for a while!"

"What do you know? If I hadn't taken this shovel from Old Man Lance, he would have used it to dig a hole and bury you all long ago."

"."

The other members of the Bronze Bounty Guild were amused by their three companions.

They're really bold, daring to steal even Old Man Lance's things.

Let it be.

Let's see what they took.

Sprayer.

An axe used for chopping firewood and cutting down trees.

shovel.

"Come, come, let the three of us clear the way for you, and let the monsters in the Lost Ancient Domain see the power of Old Man Lance."

Leisente brandished his axe and cleared a path ahead.

Strangely enough, the area that had previously seemed to be full of branches, vines, and strange grass suddenly became much clearer to the Bronze Guild members after Leisente started waving his axe around.

"Old Man Lance once said that all things have a spirit. The spray can on my body has two nozzles. One nozzle sprays poison, and the other sprays nectar. It doesn't matter if you don't know what nectar is; I'll spray some on you now so you can taste it."

Carrying a spray bottle, Matthews sprayed the plants and trees in the Mist Ancient Domain with sweet dew. The old man had said that this sweet dew could cure diseases in plants and trees and make them grow strong.

"The old man said that being kind to others is being kind to yourselves. If you don't make things difficult for us, we won't target you either."

The old man also said, "Leave a way out for yourself, so you can meet again in the future. If you have any spirits, don't keep thinking about turning us into fertilizer, otherwise, I'll harden my heart and you'll all become the old man's medicinal herbs."

Matthews suddenly remembered that the old man sometimes talked to himself like this, regardless of whether the plants and trees could understand him. He would just shout it out, and if any plant-type monsters attacked him afterward, he would eliminate them completely. Just blindly imitate the old man; the old man was a man of great wisdom.

We'll offer you benefits first. If you accept those benefits and still dare to launch a sneak attack, we'll eliminate you completely.

After venturing further into the Mist Ancient Domain, the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild were attacked by Man-Eating Flower.

Matthews sprayed poison, Leisente chopped the stems with an axe, and Jerome dug up the roots of the Man-Eating Flower with a shovel.

After the three of them worked together to take down more than a dozen Man-Eating Flower, the nearly four or five-meter-wide Man-Eating Flower stopped attacking the members of the Bronze Guild.

That's too ruthless.

After ruthlessly destroying the flowers, they also eradicated the roots. An elderly Treant witnessed this scene and hurriedly and secretly instructed his kind in the area not to attack the humans who were passing by.

To avoid being cut down and then having its roots dug up, resulting in a terrible death.

The Treant has lived for over a thousand years, said that this was the first time it had ever seen such a ferocious yet principled human.

The "old man" these young humans are talking about is definitely a powerful figure among powerful beings. "We're almost at the location marked on the employer's map. There's a passage leading to the underground world at this location, which is the entrance to the ' Golden City.' Once we enter here, in addition to monsters, we may also encounter some special situations at any time."

For example, one might enter into a vivid fantasy, or feel as if they have become an ancient person from more than two thousand years ago.

According to the employer, once inside the fantasy world, one may need to choose a faction based on their identity.

Here's the crucial point: choosing the wrong faction could result in your immediate disappearance. According to the employer's speculation, the vanished members may have become golden puppet soldiers in the Golden City.

Upon entering the underground entrance, we should try not to separate. If any member accidentally enters the illusion, do not panic, and do not rush to take the potion given to us by Old Man Lance. Wait until you have chosen the wrong side and are in mortal danger before taking it.

We must get out alive. We can't let Old Man Lance eat at our banquet, and we certainly can't let him give us gifts.

If anyone should give a gift, it should be to the old man.

The Rabbit-Ear Girl, Meredith, began explaining the precautions, and incidentally brought up Old Man Lance to lighten the mood.

They are all still young, and I imagine no one wants to see Old Man Lance eating at their banquet.

"You probably don't want to see Old Man Lance eating at the banquet while calling us good-for-nothings, do you?"

"You know what, Old Man Lance might actually do something like that."

"I can't let Old Man Lance outlive his son. I'm even saving up money to give Old Man Lance a gift."

"Even if it's just to save money for Old Man Lance, we have to get back to Saint Blue alive."

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild were in a pretty good mood. From the moment they chose to become bounty hunters, they were prepared to die on a mission someday.

Bounty missions are not all low-risk missions.

As Extraordinary Person, they have little interest in missions with lower risk factors.

Even knowing that bounty missions in places like the "Golden City," which offer generous rewards and greatly pique their interest, are risky enough to attract them.

They accepted it anyway.

We may fear death, but we must not let that fear prevent us from having the courage to move forward, explore, and take risks.

Even someone as afraid of death as Old Man Lance often takes on high-risk missions, doesn't he? "We've arrived."

Before the Bronze Guild members lay a dilapidated plaza. Although it was overgrown with ancient trees, vines, and weeds, it was still vaguely recognizable as a plaza.

"One of the underground passages is in this area. We found it. The big, thick willow tree in front of us is a teleportation point. If we walk within five meters of the big willow tree, we will be teleported to the underground entrance."

"Let me double-check my equipment, confirm the number of members, and begin registration. I'll go first, Bronze Household Receptionist Meredith, Race: Rabbitfolk."

"Louis, member of the Bronze Guild, Race: Human"

"Bronze Guild member Bazel, Race: Human"

"Bronze Guild."

Old Man Lance once said, when guild members go out on missions, they should count the number of people and have teammates sign in before entering the mission location to prevent any strange or unusual things from sneaking in.

Previously, the members of the Bronze Guild thought that Old Man Lance was making a fuss, but they later suffered a great loss after this incident. After that, it became an ironclad rule for the members of the Bronze Guild to count heads and sign in before going out on missions.

It's better to go through some trouble than to be careless and let some terrible creatures take advantage of the situation.

"Number of 27 people, no mistake, that's fine. Prepare to enter the underground through the willow tree's teleportation array. It's best to prepare for battle."

To reiterate, the Rabbit-Ear Girl Meredith took the lead and walked towards the willow tree. Louis, Bazel, and Dalton followed behind the group. Their strength was second only to Meredith, and by staying behind, they could react immediately if there was any danger.

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild gathered under the willow tree. Without any unnecessary movements, the willow branches emitted a crystalline light, and the next moment, a bright blue magic circle shot into the sky.

As the light faded, the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild vanished.

Meanwhile, on Black Dragon Island.

The young dragon, now back to its original size, lay on the sunbathing surface, watching the four projections floating in the air.

All four projection screens went black at the same time, and a look of worry appeared in her purple-gold vertical pupils.

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild were teleported to the underground world. Would they encounter those legendary, terrifying dark monsters as soon as they arrived? Such as ghouls, gargoyles, and Human-Faced Spider Demon demons.

Speaking of which, the members of the Bronze Guild are really mischievous, daring to take something from an evil dragon.

Sprayer.

shovel.

ax.

Should she tell the dragon that his lost items were with those three old men from the Bronze Guild? She glanced at the dragon, Lance.

On the beach, the evil dragon Lance was talking to the Squid Girl about something—no, to be precise, the Squid Girl was talking to the evil dragon the whole time. The evil dragon said that if the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild encountered danger, they should call him.

The Bronze Bounty Guild members have disappeared from the projection screen. Should we call out to the dragon? Let's wait until the Bronze Guild members reappear on the screen before deciding whether to call out to the dragon.

The dragon has a lot of good stuff on him. He can see scenes that are hundreds of miles away. The four Source Power Item he gave to the Bronze Guild members must be legendary Source Power Item.

After a series of buzzing electrical sounds emanating from the four projection screens, images appeared.

Huh? Where am I?

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild had the same question in their minds when they saw their surroundings.

The moment they saw the light, they immediately adopted an offensive stance, and several members even took out the upgraded version of Old Man Lance's "Three Minute War God" potion.

What they found was not a dark underground world filled with roaring monsters, rampant ghouls, and haunted by the undead.

Instead, it is a city with light, wind, water, buildings, and pedestrians.

Their strange behavior seemed to frighten some of the children playing nearby, and the children burst into tears.

Pedestrians dressed in strange clothes pointed at them and stared at them curiously.

"Meredith. Where is this? Could it be that the teleportation array malfunctioned and teleported us to a strange kingdom city far away from the Lost Ancient Domain?"

If the teleportation array malfunctions, this situation is highly likely to occur.

"I don't know. Defeat and stay alert. I'll ask someone where we are."

Meredith, the Rabbit-Ear Girl, was also temporarily confused about the situation. She sheathed her greatsword, a sweet smile on her face, and walked towards the passersby not far away.

Let's figure out where we are first.

"Hello, sir, could you please tell me where this is?"

"##$#R%%&*"

"???"

A language they'd never heard before—could it be that the teleportation array malfunctioned, sending them to an unknown kingdom city on the continent? Oh no, if they couldn't understand the language of the people in this city, they'd have a hard time figuring out where they were.

"Uncle, can you understand what I'm saying?"

Meredith gestured and spoke, and the middle-aged man standing opposite her shook his head, while also saying something.

Unable to communicate due to the language barrier? Wait, Meredith noticed writing on a building not far away, and she recognized the writing! It was the script used by the kingdom of that corrupt official over two thousand years ago!

Could this place be a city from a kingdom more than two thousand years ago?

At this moment, the other members of the Bounty Guild also noticed this.

How could they have appeared more than two thousand years ago? "This is the Eternal Capital, the capital of the Ander Kingdom. Outsiders, if you want to make a living here, you'd better find a teacher and learn the language of the Ander Kingdom."

A fair-skinned young man with red lips and white teeth, dressed in a white and gold robe, appeared in front of Meredith.

The boy smiled, and when Meredith saw the boy's smile, she raised her hand to cover her eyes.

The boy's smile was dazzling.

Like sunshine, her clean, bright, and clear black hair was styled into a bun with two ribbons hanging behind her head. Her golden-red eyes resembled those of Old Man Lance.

The person looks a lot like a young Lance, the very, very, very old man? What do you mean, a lot?! This young man is clearly Old Man Lance! The hairstyle has changed, and the face is much, much younger, but this fair-skinned young man is clearly the Young Old Man!

"Grandpa, what are you doing here? Oh, Grandpa, you're so young! May I pinch your cheek?"

"Do you want me to turn you into braised rabbit?"

"???!!!"

The Young Old Man is so ruthless! PS: Fans, please give me some monthly votes! I still owe the patron a bonus chapter. I'll try my best to repay the patron's debt as soon as possible.
