Chapter 92

"As expected, Silent Nun was predetermined."

Ryan suspected that the woman from before was Janus, but the other party also seemed unable to see through 'Lin Qi's' condition, indicating that his cheat ability surpassed that of the gods of this world.

After obtaining the bead, 'Lin Qi' was teleported out of the Inner World.

High Priestess Liya was waiting outside.

"Lin Qi, did you succeed?" she asked expectantly.

Lin Qi showed her the Gilded Stone Bead in her hand.

"That's fantastic! I knew you could do it!"

"High Priestess, do you know who Balshatt is?"

"Balshatt?" Lia frowned slightly. "I've never heard of him. Is he mentioned in the miracles?"

"Yes."

"I'm not sure about that. Maybe Her Holiness the Pope knows. You can ask her when you have the chance."

Lia had not participated in the Saintess Assessment, so she knew nothing about miracles.

"Ask the Pope? Forget it."

Ryan closed the game interface and handed over the subsequent assessment to 'Lin Qi'.

If the 'Baalshatt of the Gods' is related to him, then perhaps these are the reasons why he can't advance... Does he have to make a trip to that place himself?

That's a bit unrealistic. It's the Gate of Janus, not a public toilet. Who is he? Master Ryan? He'll be kicked out immediately.

Moreover, he had previously read on game forums that Pope Lilvia of Gate of Janus seemed to be a major boss in the game, as well as one of the characters who could be shot. She was incredibly sexy with a curvaceous figure, practically straight out of a doujinshi.

"Never mind, let's talk about it later."

Let's make a note of this for now, and see if there's a chance after 'Lin Qi' really becomes Saintess.

The next two days were unusually smooth and boring for Ryan.

The atmosphere changed abruptly once the train officially entered the Childe Territory.

Both checkpoints along the way were heavily fortified, and if Gruk hadn't revealed his Iron Blood Army identity, they would have had a hard time getting through.

However, these checkpoints are not controlled by the Empire, but by the various lords of the Western Territory.

"They have all received General Maykos's orders to stop any Imperial personnel, whether nobles or soldiers, from coming!" Gruk whispered.

"This means they are fully prepared for war."

Ryan hadn't expected General Maykos to have such a fiery temper, acting on impulse. He also hadn't expected the nobles of the Western Territory to be so united. Although Macaos was a major general, he was still just a general under Magana. The fact that they dared to act like this without the Grand Duke's orders was enough to show how fierce the people of the Western Territory were.

They can change their minds so easily.

Fortunately, Caslathdi didn't come, otherwise he probably would have been detained before even reaching Cherd.

Do you dare? Do you think they dare?

With Gruk escorting them, the journey was smooth, and the train finally arrived in Childe City in the afternoon.

This city is much larger than Berman City, and its population is said to have exceeded two million, making it a fairly large city in this world.

The group had just gotten off the train when they were stopped by soldiers dressed in golden armor.

"By order of General Erwin, all foreign troops in Cherd must be investigated. Please come with us!" the officer of the Golden Soldier said coldly.

"Whose orders are you on? This is the Western Territory, this is Cherd, not your Imperial Capital. Only Grand Duke Magana has the authority to issue such orders!" Gruk roared angrily. "Get out of here, you bunch of imperial cowards! If you have the guts, go fight the Western Barbarians! Don't cause trouble here!"

"What did you say?! Insulting the Royal Guards? You're asking for death!"

"Royal Guards, my foot! Want to fight? Come on! I'll show you imperial parasites what a true Iron Blood Army looks like!"

Splash splash~~

The two sides drew their swords without saying a word.

Ryan was completely dumbfounded. Seriously, couldn't you at least say three sentences each? This is a blood feud, like they're going to fight on sight.

Gruk was also going head-to-head. The enemy had more than two thousand men guarding the train station, while the Iron Blood Army only had one thousand, but he was not afraid at all.

As for causing trouble, it seems to be unimportant now. If outsiders want to take over our home, why should we be polite to them?

However, Gruk only roared loudly and imposingly, but did not actually make a move.

He was a man of both roughness and shrewdness, and he knew that if he made the first move, he would inevitably leave the Royal Army with a handle against him. Perhaps Elvin would take the opportunity to launch an attack and frame the Iron Blood Army for a fabricated charge of treason.

Using his Supernatural Being physical abilities, he perfectly maintained the balance between arguing and not fighting, and pressed forward step by step until the Royal Guards officer couldn't help but push him.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

Gruk fell to the ground, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

"Damn it, you actually dared to hit me? You actually dared to attack the Iron Blood Army in the Western Territory!"

"I..."

The officer looked at his hand and was stunned for a moment; he hadn't used any force at all.

He quickly saw through Gruk's intentions and angrily said, "You tricked me!"

"What am I trying to scare you about? You dare to hit me! Everyone saw it, you hit me first! You dare to attack the Iron Blood Army, brothers, arrest him and deal with him according to the law!"

"You dare! I am Royal Guards Major and an Imperial Baron. Try touching me!"

Snap!

Gruk leaped up and slapped his opponent across the face, sending him spinning three times before he fell to the ground. This slap ignited the fury on both sides, and the Iron Blood Army and the Royal Guards clashed head-on.

In an instant, the entire train station descended into chaos, while the surrounding citizens of Cherd seemed completely unfazed, not only showing no panic but also launching 'remote attacks' on the Royal Guards with their belongings.

"This..."

Ryan was speechless. If this continued, someone would die.

Snap

Just then, his wrist was suddenly grabbed, and before he could react, he was pulled and dragged all the way into the staff room of the train station.

Bang!

The room door was closed.

Ryan instinctively wanted to use his Character Card, because when the other party grabbed him just now, he had no ability to resist at all!

Wait a minute... something's not right... why is this guy so short?

The person in the room was standing less than 0.5 meters away from him, yet their height only reached about shoulder height?!

How can such a small body have so much strength?

Just then, the dwarf spoke up, patting her chest. "Phew! Luckily, no one noticed. Ryan, how come you weren't alert at all? I've been keeping an eye on you for so long and you didn't even notice? Grand Duke, I was prepared and changed into this outfit, otherwise I would definitely have been recognized."

As he spoke, the dwarf took off his hood, revealing a head of smooth, beautiful white hair.

Ryan was stunned.

"Grand Duke Magana?! What are you doing here?"

The white-haired dwarf, Magana, tilted her head back and laughed, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth. She said Grand Duke, "Hmph~ I said I would protect your life, and of course I will keep my word! Ryan, celebrate! From today Grand Duke, I will temporarily serve as your personal bodyguard until you help me find all the traitors buried in the Western Territory!"

First update! Another day I've written over 10,000 words! The long period of silence is finally over!!! Brothers, let's celebrate with some support!
