World-violent? Introverted? Likes Farming?

Disrespect to the Valkyrie?

Don't even mention that he didn't mean it that way. Even if he did, would the Valkyrie dare leave the realm of gods to come to the human world to find him? Would she dare? "How dare you! You madman, how dare you disrespect the Valkyrie! You won't be forgiven!!!"

The Temple Knights behind Steven were enraged. This man had dared to speak arrogantly and blaspheme against the Valkyrie to their very face. If they didn't react, would they be worthy of being knights of the Valkyrie Temple? Some knights nocked arrows, while others had their lances flashing with dazzling holy light. Even if they couldn't kill this madman, they wanted to teach him what price he would pay for offending the Valkyrie.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Several arrows, shimmering with holy light, shot through the air toward Lance.

Seeing this, Lance flicked his sleeve, and the arrow that was shot at him turned into specks of light and disappeared in mid-air.

Lance raised his right hand and pointed at the temple knights behind Steven. He gently pressed down with his right index and middle fingers, and the mounts of the Valkyrie Temple knights let out a mournful cry and knelt down on the ground.

The temple knights also grunted and involuntarily lowered their proud heads.

A heavy, immense force descended from the sky, pressing down on them and making them feel as if a mountain had appeared on their backs.

They tried to lift their heads, but they just couldn't.

Those who tried to support themselves with their spears were bent under the weight of the steel spears. The person standing on the spear of Paladin Steven only pressed down slightly with his right hand, and they were crushed by the immense force and unable to get up.

Even their mounts could only groan in despair. "You should be glad you are knights of the Valkyrie Temple. If you were knights of other temples, you would have died when you tried to shoot me. After you die, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I might grind you to dust."

I'm afraid of violence in the world, I'm introverted, I enjoy farming, and I like being kind to people. If you make me feel insecure, I might become more extreme. I hope you can give me more security; it's better for both of us.

"."

The temple knights, who were perched on their mounts, wanted to curse as they heard Lance's last few words, even though they possessed the spirit of chivalry.

Is being ground to ashes after death considered a sign of fear of world violence? Standing atop Paladin Steven's lance and spouting nonsense is considered introverted?

Does being kind to others mean you can easily crush them?

The knights of the Valkyrie Temple understood completely. That person was no weaker than Paladin Steven; a casual strike from him could probably kill them all.

It's possible that they're not being killed because of the Valkyrie.

A person who can utter such harsh words as "crushing bones to ashes" wouldn't care if they were wanted by the temple.

If you want to issue an arrest warrant for him, you need to provide evidence.

If no one can prove that he killed a squad of knights from the temple, even the temple can't do anything about him.

This introverted guy is very good at destroying evidence and eliminating any incriminating material.

The members of the Bronze Guild were dumbfounded. Was Old Man Lance really that powerful? With a slight movement of his right hand, he directly suppressed more than thirty powerful Temple Knights?

Isn't the old man's main profession a pharmacist? His secondary profession is half druid.

What's with this shocking level of combat power?

And those few sentences I just mentioned—fear of violence in the world, introverted personality, and fondness for farming—shouldn't they be interpreted as: violence for violence, social maniac, and liking to use people as test subjects?

It seems that Old Man Lance doesn't understand himself at all.

The members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild and the Violent Bear Guild were all trembling with fear. The members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild were shining with excitement, while the members of the Violent Bear Guild were trembling with apprehension.

What did they hear?

Will this sudden, powerful man silence me?

The key point is that those golden ghost soldiers, and the heavily armored ghost soldiers, were facing that powerful figure, kneeling on one knee. "Teacher... Teacher..."

Andre looked at the figure standing on the spear, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes instantly reddened. It was his teacher, the teacher who died more than two thousand years ago under the walls of the Eternal Capital City. He... he... he was still alive.

Andre's mind was filled with memories of his time with his teacher Lance, especially the words he had just spoken to the Valkyrie Temple Knight: "The Valkyrie is indeed not qualified to judge my student."

Just like two thousand years ago, he once again saw the seemingly calm and collected teacher inadvertently display that domineering and unreasonable nature. He turned away and wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes.

You can't cry in front of the teacher, otherwise the teacher might scold you.

When Princess Elsa saw Lance, whose appearance hadn't changed much but whose demeanor had completely transformed, on the Golden Path, she instinctively wanted to turn away, but couldn't control her gaze, wanting to look at the man a little longer.

No wonder she couldn't find Lance's body all these years. It turns out he didn't die at all, or rather, he died and was resurrected in a way she couldn't have imagined.

Princess Elsa glanced down at herself subconsciously. Her skin was bluish-purple, and her robes were worn. "I didn't expect Lance to be so well hidden. Back in the Lionheart City Temple of the Norton Kingdom, Bishop Franco said I might not be able to beat you. I didn't believe it. Now it seems that Bishop Franco's eyes are as sharp as ever."

No wonder he didn't fly into a rage when he found out you stole the Valkyrie Statue; he still maintained a certain level of respect for you.

He could tell at a glance that you were not someone to mess with.

Steven withdrew his spear, and a Source Energy Array flashing with black and red light appeared beneath Lance's feet.

"However, this cannot be a reason for Lance to speak disrespectfully to the Valkyrie. As a paladin of the Valkyrie Temple, I still hope that Lance can give me an explanation that I can accept."

"Your Valkyrie owes me money."

"???!!!"

"How dare this guy keep talking nonsense and ruining the Valkyrie's reputation by saying Valkyrie owes him money in front of so many people!" "Lance, your words are not only disrespectful to the Valkyrie, but also extremely rude."

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and have your Pope or the Saintess Valkyrie Temple ask her if she owes money to a human named Lance. Steven, don't you understand? The reason I dare to say this to your face is not only because your Valkyrie owes me money, but also because your Valkyrie and I used to be good friends."

Otherwise, do you think those knights who offended me would still be alive? In my eyes, you little guys are just disobedient children in my friend's family. You offended me, and at most I'll teach you a lesson.

Or perhaps I'll reprimand you a few times; I can't really kill you.

Lance sat cross-legged in the air, watching the paladin Steven, whose confidence was showing signs of crumbling.

For the first time, I've discovered that it's actually quite satisfying when a friend doesn't pay you back.

"Words are not enough; produce evidence."

If a friend lends you money, would you ask them to sign a written agreement or IOU?

"."

How much money do I owe you?

132 gold coins.

"Alright, I can't tell whether what you're saying is true or false for the time being. Here, take these 132 gold coins."

Steven took out the gold coins stored in his Space Ring. There seemed to be only 29 gold coins. No problem, he would borrow some from one of the brothers behind him.

"Lance, could you please release my brothers behind me?"

Lance snapped his fingers, and the Temple Knights, who were pinned to the backs of their mounts, suddenly felt the "mountain" on their backs disappear, and they gasped for breath.

"Which of you brothers has a hundred gold coins on you? I can borrow them for now."

"Lord Steven, I have five gold coins on me."

"I have seven gold coins on me."

"I have three gold coins."

"I have."

The Templar Knights pulled out all the gold coins they had, and then an embarrassing situation arose. The thirty-odd Templar Knights combined didn't even have 132 gold coins. Some knights only had one gold coin, and some had none at all. Steven was so moved he almost cried. They were all good family men and good husbands, traveling with no more than ten gold coins each—not even 132! What to do? He silently put away his own 29 gold coins and gestured for the Templar Knights to put away theirs as well.

"I still don't believe that the Valkyrie owes Lance money."

Lance laughed, "You don't believe the Valkyrie owes me money, you just can't raise enough to pay back what your Valkyrie owes me, right? Remove [The Lost Golden City] from the quest section of your Valkyrie Temple."

No temple has the right to judge my students until they infringe upon the temple's interests; this applies not only to your Valkyrie Temple but to all other temples as well.

"Lance, you probably don't know why your student is wanted by the temple. He sold his soul to a demon."

"That's easy, I'll just get his soul back from the demon."

"."

Do you think the demons know how domineering and tyrannical you are? Do you think my Valkyrie knows?

Based on the strength Lance has demonstrated so far, it's possible that he can get Andre's soul contract back from the demon.

"I really can't imagine how the Valkyrie could owe you money."

"Go back and ask your Pope of the Valkyrie Temple, and you'll find out."

"Lance, I can leave, but you need to understand one thing. If the answer I get when I go back is that the Valkyrie has never owed you any money, then I may find you and ask you to go to Valkyrie Divine Mountain and apologize to my Valkyrie in front of the Valkyrie Statue."

"Fine, but don't even think about paying back your Valkyrie's money. It was your Valkyrie who lent me the money, and it's only your Valkyrie can pay me back."

"."

With such confidence, could it be that Valkyrie actually owes this guy money?

Steven was starting to lose confidence.

He went back to investigate, but he couldn't confirm it; His Majesty and the Saintess might be able to.

"Lance, I hope we will not be enemies when we meet again."

"You can look forward to it."

Steven sheathed his spear, patted his Gnu Horse, and turned to leave.

"Wait, medical expenses? The soldiers who injured my student don't need to pay medical expenses?"

Steven tossed the last 29 gold coins he had to Lance. He figured if he didn't leave some money for medical expenses after encountering someone of unknown strength, he really wouldn't be able to leave.

Fortunately, he held back and didn't kill Steven then retreated.

They arrived bathed in holy light, and departed without a sound. Lucia, the young dragon perched atop Lance's head, saw the Valkyrie Temple knights retreat, folded her wings, and landed on the black and red Source Energy Array at the dragon's feet, wondering if she could stand on it. The moment her feet touched the Source Energy Array, they shattered it, causing her to fall from the sky and crash to the ground, creating a shallow crater. The young dragon looked up at the dragon still seated on the black and red Source Energy Array. The dragon had definitely done it on purpose!

bad.

He was clearly a mischievous and playful evil dragon.

Saying that he's afraid of violence in the world, introverted, likes farming, and likes to be kind to others, okay, being afraid of violence in the world is true. Even dragons hide in the deep sea to avoid being harmed by violence.

Before she got to know the dragon Lance, if he had described himself like that, she would have thought Lance was lying.

After spending so much time with the dragon Lance, she felt that the words he used to describe himself were somewhat fitting.

Introverted personality.

Preferring to live alone would probably be considered an introverted personality, right? I enjoy farming.

The crops and fruits on Black Dragon Island prove that the dragon did indeed enjoy farming.

Despite his seemingly ferocious appearance, the dragon Lance, who is generally benevolent, has never actively harmed anyone. At least, during the time she spent with him, she never saw the dragon intentionally harm humans.

"Andre, it's been a long time."

Lance rose and slowly walked through the void toward Andre in the courtyard. Wherever he passed, the golden ghost soldiers and the Northern Frontier Army in black heavy armor all placed their left hands on their chests and saluted Lance.

He steadily arrived at the Golden Path. The moment his feet touched the Golden Path, he subconsciously squatted down and tapped the Golden Path under his feet to see if it was really paved with gold.

I knocked a few times, but couldn't hear anything.

He turned and beckoned to the dragon cub. "Dragon cub, come here for a second."

The young dragon got up and trotted over to the evil Lance, squatted down, and, imitating the evil dragon, lightly tapped the gold at its feet with its claws. "I heard that gold is soft. I'll saw off a piece for you, and you can bite it?"

A saw had somehow appeared in the baby dragon's claws.

"Don't saw it. Maybe we can move the whole piece back later."

"Oh, that makes sense."

The young dragon put away the saw. The evil dragon was right; a whole piece is more valuable for collection.

Upon seeing this scene, the golden ghost soldiers on both sides of the Golden Path hurriedly raised their heads and looked straight ahead.

Lord Lance still loves gold and silver jewelry as always.

It was undoubtedly Lord Lance. Lance stood up and walked towards Elsa on the Golden Path.

The moment he appeared in this underground world, he saw Princess Elsa.

Her originally fiery red hair was now stained with a bluish-purple hue, and her skin also turned bluish-purple.

Did I turn myself into a lich? "Okay, okay. Long time no see, Lance. No, no, no. Don't look at me. I don't look good like this."

"Not good-looking? I think your new skin is pretty cool."
