You Can't Go Around Making Big Promises (5)

"And the second piece of news...?"

"Ramon's sister, the Magic Creature princess Atris, seems to have her eye on Horus." Candice's expression was strange, somewhat displeased. Lord Horus was hers; how could she let that shameless woman Atris steal him away?

"Atris?" Qin Chu's expression was strange. He thought for a moment, but couldn't recall her.

It's also possible that he cleaved him into ashes with a single sword strike during the war, which is why he can't remember.

"An anomaly among Magic Creature, despite having Magic Creature blood flowing through her veins, she has no interest in Magic Creature whatsoever. Instead, she adores human men, frequently abducting young, handsome men from the human world to her palace for her daily pleasures."

"A strong, healthy man, from the moment he enters the palace, will be sent out practically a dried-up corpse within seven days."

Hiss...

Damn it.

Qin Chu was exasperated; being targeted by someone like this was anything but pleasant.

"And the third piece of news?"

"The Dark Witch, Saya Nicholas, has emerged from seclusion!"

Huh? So fast?

That shouldn't be the case.

This was indeed a bombshell. Qin Chu's eyes narrowed slightly. Sure enough, there was another Saya Nicholas.

However, this Saya Nicholas is probably not as gentle and charming as the one on my body.

Well, whatever, I'll just leave the border.

We won't encounter it so soon.

Chapter Four is here, and Chapter Five will be released tonight.

Chapter 350 One shouldn't set flags (5)

Qin Chu wasn't actually that worried about Saya Nicholas leaving the pass.

The most important aspect of this intelligence is that it confirms the existence of another Saya Nicholas in this world.

As for leaving the lab... it's mostly because they've been cooped up in the lab for too long and want to get some fresh air, and then they have to go back to the lab.

Even if they do come out, they'll only wander around the Demon King's Castle at most; they won't enter human cities.

Even if they entered a human city, the Skyvault Continent is so vast, with hundreds of major cities, that it's unlikely they would happen to arrive at the Imperial City.

Even if you come to the imperial Imperial City is so vast and populated, you won't encounter it so easily.

Qin Chu didn't take this matter very seriously.

I was even a little curious; I wondered what kind of strange reaction would occur if the two Saya Nicholas met. It would certainly be very interesting.

After Candice finished reporting the intelligence, Qin Chu gave her some instructions, and the two spent a little more time together before Qin Chu left.

He had another place to go.

Lex's weapons shop.

He was very curious about what Lex, one of his enemies, had become more than a month after the Evil God's threads were implanted in his body.

Walking through the streets of the Commoners' District, it didn't take long for Lex's weapon shop to come into view. Although night had fallen, the weapon shop was still brightly lit.

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the air.

Inside, a man was repeatedly hammering a piece of red-hot metal.

Is that Lex?

Qin Chu were unable to determine the situation immediately.

Although you can tell it's Lex from his clothes and face, his physique...

His once thin and withered body seemed to have grown stronger, his arms were covered with dark muscles, and sweat dripped down his arms, falling into the red-hot coals with a hissing sound.

His frame seemed to have become wider and stronger.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the man raised his head.

Although his face was no longer wrinkled, the outline and appearance were undoubtedly Lex's.

For a moment, Qin Chu was somewhat suspicious.

It seems the Evil God's Threads have no intention of harming Lex at all; in fact, they've made Lex's body even stronger?

This is somewhat different from what I expected.

Lex also spotted Qin Chu, and immediately grinned, revealing his teeth, which became even more jagged and uneven.

There seemed to be some bits of meat stuck between his teeth.

His eyes were filled with countless tiny blood vessels, making them appear completely red. Right next to the shelf in his hand was a large piece of fresh meat, which looked like beef.

There was a rack above the charcoal fire, on which were placed small pieces of beef, about the size of a bowl and a finger's thickness, sizzling under the heat of the charcoal fire.

This guy certainly knows how to enjoy himself; he's actually working and grilling at the same time.

"Ah, Hero, you've arrived..." Lex wiped his greasy hands on his clothes and grinned as he spoke.

"Let me check how my weapon is doing." Qin Chu nodded slightly.

"Hahaha, it's all better now." Lex danced with excitement, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light. "I don't know what happened, but lately I've just felt incredibly energetic, like I have inexhaustible strength."

"I spent a whole month, day and night, forging your weapon, and it's finally finished. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Lex said excitedly, reaching out to grab the beef chunks on the grill, completely unconcerned about his dirty hands and the high temperature emanating from the grill, grabbing them and putting them to his mouth.

This beef, it's probably only been on the table for a short time, half of it is still bloody.

Lex was about to swallow it whole when he remembered there was a Hero opposite him. His face immediately flushed with embarrassment, and he reluctantly handed the beef to Qin Chu: "Hero, would you like a piece?"

Looking at the bloody chunks of flesh, Qin Chu felt a sudden wave of nausea for no apparent reason.

She forced a smile, "I've already eaten."

Upon hearing this, Lex didn't hesitate any longer and stuffed the piece of meat in his hand into his mouth, chewing it voraciously until his mouth and face were stained with a large patch of crimson.

Qin Chu already had some ideas vaguely forming in his mind. The purpose of the Evil God's Threads was to ultimately transform life into terrifying monsters, just like Karthus and Onions.

However, both of them are quite capable and can be directly converted.

Lex is just an ordinary person and doesn't seem to be qualified to be transformed into a monster yet. Therefore, the threads of the Evil God will first strengthen his body, and after his physical strength reaches a certain level, he will be transformed into a monster.

In this process, the target being eroded seems to need to feed in large quantities.

At this moment, Lex even showed signs of evolving into a beast.

He practically wolfed down the piece of meat in his hand, finishing it in a few bites. He wanted to eat another piece, but perhaps considering the Hero was still there, he gave an awkward smile and turned to go into the inner room.

Instinct and reason are clashing violently.

This man won't last long; he'll be the next Karthus.

Qin Chu eagerly awaited that day.

Not long after, Lex emerged, holding a longsword in both hands.

When he saw the most successful work of his life, Lex seemed to regain some of his consciousness, and his eyes were filled with reluctance.

After a brief hesitation, Lex finally handed the longsword to Qin Chu with both hands.

The familiar silver scabbard, the familiar feather-like guard, the dark gold hilt... The scabbard and hilt are also decorated with patterns of the sun, moon and stars.

The sword was drawn, and a cold glint flashed across its not-so-thin blade.

Just one glance is enough to make you truly feel its sharpness.

The sword tip fell naturally, and Qin Chu loosened his grip.

With a hissing sound, the longsword pierced through the stone slab and sank more than a foot into the ground.

"Hero, how are you feeling?"

"Very good." Qin Chu nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"It seems even better than the weapon you used to cut me in your past life." Saya had woken up at some point.

She tried her best to maintain the same posture as before, wrapping her arms around Qin Chu's neck and resting her head on Qin Chu shoulder, muttering with some dissatisfaction. Out of the corner of her eye, one could see that Saya's cheeks were slightly Crimson.

"Saya, I..." Qin Chu hesitated, choosing his words carefully.

"Let's not talk about what happened at noon anymore. Let's just do things the same as before," Saya said, trying to appear calm.

There is no doubt that Saya was not indifferent to what happened during the day; Saya was simply unprepared to face it.

Despite being a powerful Witch, Saya is sometimes just like any other ordinary girl.

Lex was unaware of Saya's presence, but he was filled with excitement because of the Hero's recognition, rubbing his clothes with his fingers and looking ecstatic.

"Lex, thank you for forging this weapon for me. I will definitely repay you handsomely," Qin Chu said with a smile.

"You flatter me, my Hero. You are the savior of our Skyvault Continent. Forging weapons for you is my greatest honor. I would never dare to ask for any reward. I would be content if you could come and sit here with me whenever you have time," Lex said happily.

No, no, no... repaying is necessary, and I've already given it to you in advance.

I'm sure you'll be very satisfied.

With a smile on his face, Qin Chu nodded slightly to Lex, left a reward of 100,000 Mana, and then turned and left.

After leaving the shop, Qin Chu handed the longsword directly to Saya: "Could you help me remove the magical restrictions inside?"

Saya snorted somewhat discontentedly, but ultimately took the longsword and disappeared into Qin Chu's body.

She was quite dissatisfied with Qin Chu's attitude. She'd just woken up, and this guy couldn't even say a kind word? Not only did he not offer any sweet nothings, but he actually assigned her a task?

He just did that to me, is this guy planning to pretend nothing happened?

Ugh, what a scumbag.

Qin Chu could actually sense some of Saya's thoughts, Qin Chu felt quite helpless about Saya feelings.

It was clearly something you didn't want to bring up, right? I did what you said, and now you're angry?

Women.

Muttering a silent complaint to himself, Qin Chu prepared to return to the palace.

The atmosphere in the Imperial City seemed even more oppressive at night. The usually bustling streets were now completely silent, with only the sound of one's own footsteps echoing in one's ears, bringing a sense of loneliness.

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Chu had already arrived in the Nobles' District.

Two figures finally came into view ahead.

A man who looked somewhat familiar.

Who is Carlos, the enemy who failed to win Natia in the library and severed his own neck with the Sword of Damocles in the first playthrough?

He is a very handsome man, and he always seems to have a gentlemanly and cheerful smile on his face, which makes it easy for him to win the favor of both men and women.

Right in front of Carlos was a woman.

Carlos was striking up a conversation with the woman. "Beautiful lady, your face is as beautiful as the moon in the sky. Would you do me the honor of inviting me to dinner?"

"Couldn't this guy have used a different way to invite women?" Qin Chu thought to himself. "This isn't even a cheesy pickup line."

As the president of the Adventurers' Guild and a martial War God himself, Carlos's strength and status are impeccable. Coupled with his tall stature, handsome face, and gentlemanly demeanor, he is definitely the type that is very popular with women.

However, Carlos was wholeheartedly in love with Natia.

This piqued Qin Chu's curiosity. Just how beautiful was the woman opposite him that she could make Carlos fall for someone else?

His gaze swept across to the opposite side of Carlos.

Her long, silvery-white hair shimmered hazily in the moonlight, and her Crimson eyes held a hint of eeriness and allure. Silver hair, red eyes—a special attack for the Hero.

This is practically dancing on your own XP.

Qin Chu nodded, offering his critique.

Her face was fair and delicate, charming and cute, and her rosy lips made Qin Chu want to take a bite.

She was tall and slender, with a graceful figure and a beautifully shaped silhouette above her waist, which could be encircled by a single hand.

Perfect in the perfect way.
