Lance, Disrespecting the Valkyrie? Your Valkyrie Owes Me Money

The employer who posted the bounty was Elsa? The members of the Bronze Guild were all shocked. At first, they didn't think much of it, until they realized that this was a world more than two thousand years in the future.

It wasn't that they were slow to react; after all, they had just come out of the "Historical Reenactment" and their memories were still somewhat confused. In their minds, the Elsa mentioned by the Scorpion Beauty and the Bear was still the princess who led the Northern Frontier Army in a rebellion.

Realizing that they were in the Lost Ancient Domain more than two thousand years in the future, the members of the Bronze Guild were not only shocked but also puzzled.

Even if Princess Elsa is a Extraordinary Person some fighting ability, based on their understanding of her, under normal circumstances, Princess Elsa would not live for more than two thousand years.

And there's Andre.

Andre's fighting prowess is inferior to that of Princess Elsa. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not have lived more than two thousand years. The current Andre is definitely not human. As for whether he is a ghost, it is impossible to determine until we meet Andre.

The dead, after living for over two thousand years, have become Evil Spirit.

Before leaving, Andre said that in order to find his teacher Lance, he had even attacked Hell. Ordinary Evil Spirit only think about how to Evil Spirit Hell, and only [Legendary] level Bounty Guild would dare to take on such a bounty mission to attack Hell.

"What are you all standing there for?! Come and help us! These ghost soldiers are much more troublesome than the gargoyles and ghouls Golden City. Even the scrolls of light can't completely wipe them out."

A member of the Scorpion-Human Race from the Beauty Scorpion Guild was swept away by a ghostly soldier clad in golden armor with a long spear.

As she fell, she rolled away to avoid the spear thrust by the golden ghost soldiers. Seeing that the members of the Bronze Guild remained unmoved, she quickly shouted again.

Five Bounty Guild have entered the Golden City, and members of three of the Bounty Guild have already donned armor and become cannon fodder recruits for the Golden City.

Only the Scorpion Beauty Guild, the Berserk Bear Bounty Guild, and the Bronze Guild remained.

Even so, the Scorpion Beauty Guild and the Berserk Bear Bounty Guild lost several members, who became cannon fodder recruits in the Golden City.

"Careful!"

Seeing that the member of the Beauty Scorpion Guild was about to be killed by the spear of another Golden Ghost Soldier, Meredith instantly appeared behind the member of the Beauty Scorpion Guild, raised her greatsword in front of her, and blocked the spear of the Golden Ghost Soldier.

Upon seeing Meredith, the golden ghost soldiers withdrew their spears and turned to retreat.

Another golden ghost soldier saw Meredith and turned away, no longer attacking the member of the Beauty Scorpion Guild.

Seeing this, the other members of the Bronze Guild didn't have time to think and rushed to the side of the other members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild to make sure they wouldn't be killed by the Golden Ghost Soldiers with guns and greatswords.

After the members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild, who were engaged in a fierce battle, discovered that the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild had come to their aid, the Golden Ghost Soldiers' offensive was not as fierce as before.

They simply retreated to the side and surrounded them.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Violent Bear Mercenary Group's eyes instantly turned red. "Damn it, at least come and help us! Can't you see how quickly we're about to stop swinging our greatswords?!"

"We can't help you. You're berserkers. Once you enter berserk mode, you won't distinguish friend from foe. I'm afraid if we go over there, we'll be hacked to death."

"What the hell? Don't they know who's friend and foe? Can't they see our Violent Bear Guild members fighting as a group? We're about to die! Come help us!"

The members of the Berserk Bear Bounty Guild were almost driven mad by the members of the Bronze Guild.

Even if you enter a berserk state and can't distinguish friend from foe, can you still tell who is an enemy and who is an ally?

Could you please not make the darker colors so obvious?

Why aren't these golden ghost soldiers and warriors in heavy black armor attacking the members of the Bronze Guild? They're just surrounding them without attacking. Why are they discriminating against them?

Could it be because the members of the Bronze Guild didn't secretly saw through the gold in the Golden City? "Brother, two thousand years have passed. It's time to let go of your obsession. Back then, Lance chose to embrace death himself; it wasn't me who forced him to his death, nor was it that you were incapable of protecting him. Yes..."

"Shut up Elsa."

A faint sigh echoed over the Golden City.

"For nearly two thousand years, you've been trapped in that [Historical Node], unable to forgive yourself, trying time and time again to change Lance's fate. Those you chose to enter that special [Historical Node] all betrayed you and Lance. You believe their betrayal led to Lance's death, preventing you from changing Lance's fate."

This time, the members of the Bronze Guild did not betray Lance, they did not abandon you, and they even accompanied Lance to the very end. But in the end, Lance still chose to embrace death.

Even now, don't you understand? Even if you had the ability to protect Lance back then, he would still have ultimately chosen to embrace death.

As the last word fell, a bluish-purple light descended from the sky and appeared on the Golden Path leading to the courtyard.

She was a woman wearing a tattered robe.

The woman's hair should have been fiery red, but for some reason, her long, fiery red hair was dull and lifeless, as if covered by a layer of bluish-purple. Her skin was not the healthy complexion that a living person should have; it was bluish-purple, and she left a faint bluish-purple glow behind her when she walked.

"Brother Wang, through this experience, you should understand the importance of letting go of yourself. Let go of the people of the Eternal Capital as well. As for those nobles, ministers, lords, and merchants who drove Lance to his death, you killed them countless times during the [Historical Node]. Your resentment and hatred should have been released enough. Forgive them and let them leave."

"Put away your hypocritical face, Elsa. The reason I didn't kill you back then was because my teacher didn't want to see siblings killing each other. If it weren't for my teacher, do you think I would have let you live to the end? You, my sister, made me want to kill you twice: once when my teacher died, and once when you lost my teacher's body."

A man dressed in a pure white robe appeared in the Golden Courtyard at some unknown time. He was carrying a watering can and watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

The members of the Bronze Guild looked surprised when they saw the man in the courtyard.

Andre? More than two thousand years have passed, and he hasn't changed much. He looks exactly like the one in "Historical Reenactment".

It is not in spirit form.

It looks very real, like a person with flesh and blood.

What surprised the Bronze Guild members the most was the woman on the Golden Path.

Princess Elsa! How did that girl who was like a blazing fire become such a monstrous sight?

What kind of monster did she turn herself into? I never imagined that these brother and sister would ultimately choose to become monsters that are neither alive nor dead.

Andre chose to become a monster in order to find his teacher's remains.

What caused Princess Elsa to choose to become a monster?

Could it also be for the sake of the old man from over two thousand years ago? "Brother, why say such things? If you really wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have been able to leave the Eternal Capital alive back then. You didn't intend to kill me, and neither did Lance. I was ungrateful and left the Eternal Capital to return to the Northern Frontier, declare independence, and start a war. Brother, I was wrong back then. Please spare the people of the Eternal Capital, spare those traitors, and spare yourself. I can be executed by you as a 'rebel,' please spare yourself."

"You can continue to wander the human world in this inhuman, ghostly form."

"I can continue to wander the human world in this inhuman form, but what about you, brother? You have offended Hell, deceived the demon, and toyed with it. For two thousand years, that demon has been preparing to use the fire of your soul to wash away the shame of being mocked and toyed with by you."

"You're wrong. I never played tricks on that demon. Before I signed the contract with him, I said that if I couldn't find my teacher's body, the contract would continue indefinitely until I found my teacher's body or saw my teacher's soul. That demon agreed to the contract. If he wanted to devour my soul in a hurry, he could."

Please help me find my teacher's remains.

Or perhaps it would allow me to see the spirit of my teacher.

"If I can't do these two things, even a demon can't make me fulfill the contract I signed back then."

"Brother Wang, if you continue like this, you'll not only face being wanted by Hell, but also being hunted by demons. You might even be wanted by the Temple later. Making a pact with demons and selling your soul is heresy in the eyes of the Temple's clergy."

"Your existence may have already alarmed the temple. If the temple's clergy come to punish you, do you also wish to become an enemy of the temple?"

"I have no intention of being an enemy of the temple, but if the temple comes to attack me, I will regard the temple as an enemy."

Princess Elsa sighed, wondering how she could save her now-misguided brother. Her occasional appearances in the human world, hiring Bounty Guild to explore and search for treasure, were actually a way to see if any member of the Bounty Guild could save her brother, who had gone astray.

Let's see if we can get Brother Wang to stop complaining, blaming, and hating himself.

For two thousand years, members of several guilds have accompanied Lance and her brother Andre through Historical Node until the day Lance's army besieged the city. However, at the last moment, they either chose to betray Andre or took Lance hostage, leaving only the members of the Bronze Guild. In this particular Historical Node, their presence remained steadfast from beginning to end, which should have made Andre understand why Lance embraced death.

Lance is dead.

The body has disappeared.

The situation that Andre, the king's brother, is facing now is far worse than it was back then.

For the past thousand years, the underworld has been searching for the king's elder brother, Andre.

[The Golden Calamity].

That's what the King's brother, Andre, is called from the other side of Hell.

The Grim Trainee Death God had been secretly watching his elder brother, Andre.

In the last hundred years, he has also been targeted by the temple.

An Trainee Death God Reaper anonymously informed the temple about the pact between the king's elder brother, Andre, and the demon.

A temple is already investigating this matter, and according to her recent information, the clergy of the Temple of Martial God may take action soon—

A deafening explosion came from the manor gate, accompanied by several screams.

Several golden ghost soldiers and heavily armored Northern Frontier Army were sent flying by a single spear thrust from a knight.

"Has the former human king, who once regarded the temple as an enemy, fallen so low?"

Suddenly, a group of cavalrymen clad in platinum armor emerged from the dimly lit, red-glowing underground world.

These cavalrymen's armor bore the insignia of the Temple of the God of War.

A golden fist and a battle spear radiating golden light.

The Fist of Power and the Spear of Justice.

The golden fist symbolizes power, and the golden spear symbolizes justice.

There were more than thirty cavalrymen wearing white and gold armor.

Leading the group was a tall knight who carried a greatsword on his back and held a knight's lance.

He was the one who sent the golden ghost soldiers and the Northern Frontier Army flying with a single spear thrust.

"The Platinum Knight Legion of the Martial God Temple".

"Valkyrie Temple Paladin: Steven. Former King Andre, will you accompany me to the Valkyrie Temple for judgment yourself, or would you like to resist, be defeated by me, and then return to the Valkyrie Temple with me?"

"I have no intention of being an enemy of the Valkyrie Temple, but if the Valkyrie Temple insists on judging me, then I don't mind being a 'rebel against the gods.' The Valkyrie have never helped me, so what right do they have to judge me?"

"King Andre, you have blasphemed against my God in front of me. Another crime has been added to your list. If you resist too violently, King Andre, I might lose control of my strength and release your demon-tainted soul."

"You can give it a try."

"As you wish."

Steven's spear shone with a dazzling white-gold holy light, which then vanished silently.

A foot landed on Steven's gun barrel, extinguishing the holy light shining from it.

"My student is right. The Valkyrie Temple is indeed not qualified to judge him. If there is anyone in this world who can judge my student, it can only be me."

Lance, dressed in a white-gold robe, stood with his hands behind his back, stepping on the tip of Steven Knight's lance, smiling as he looked at the paladin Steven of the Valkyrie Temple.

The paladins of the Valkyrie Temple came to attack his student. Tsk, did they really think his student had no backing and could be trampled on by anyone? Hell, demons, temple. "Lance, I never expected that our reunion would be in such a setting."

Steven never expected that the person who extinguished his World Cleansing Holy Light would be Lance, whom he had met a few times before.

The human who once painted an image of the Valkyrie.

No wonder he dared to steal the statue from the Valkyrie Temple and could extinguish the World Cleansing Holy Light with a single stomp. His strength is considerable, and he may even be a powerhouse of the same level as him.

It's also possible that he's a little better than him.

"Go back, Steven. Considering we've met a few times before, and for the sake of the Valkyrie, I won't make things difficult for you this time. However, you injured my student's soldiers earlier, so you should pay some medical expenses."

"..." Steven shook his head. "Lance, your words just now also contained disrespect towards the Valkyrie."

"Your Valkyrie owes me money."

"???"
