Echo, who should have appeared in the fifth level of the Great Mythic+ dungeon, heard that Linda had started a live broadcast, so she secretly put on a black robe and came to observe the battle.
After the failure of the last "chicken soup" plan, Ai Ke learned her lesson and bought a lot of erotic art books to study the experience, determined to win over Lin Da next time.
However, before she could even start the walkthrough, an unexpected person appeared.
After leaving Nanyan City, Ai Ke didn't see that person for three years.
Ai Ke pulled her hood tighter, glanced sideways as if walking on thin ice, and stole a look in the direction of the stairs out of the corner of her eye.
A deep-seated fear made her hands tremble uncontrollably.
To Aiko, that person was a strict teacher, an older brother, and a devil!
From childhood to adulthood, Ai Ke lived in that person's shadow.
At least half the reason for leaving Nanyan City lies with the other party.
A man dressed in a white swordsman's uniform, with long, flowing golden hair, entered the hall.
This man had handsome features, a gentle smile on his lips, and a pair of squinty eyes that always seemed to be smiling.
The first impression one gets is that this squinty-eyed swordsman is very easy to get along with and can be quickly made a friend.
But when Aiko saw the other person, she felt a chill run down her spine.
She adjusted the collar of her black robe, trying to cover her skin as much as possible; otherwise, the man would surely ask her with a kind smile:
"Eiko, are you trying to seduce a member of the opposite sex? I can't let my only sister be so indecent. As punishment, chant the Light Arrow spell a thousand times. You're not allowed to sleep until you finish."
It's always the same: with the kindest expression, he utters terrifying words that would chill any mage to the bone and leave them exhausted to the point of fainting.
Eko wasn't a genius; her achievements stemmed from her early years of relentless hard work, even to the point of risking her life.
That's why her spellcasting speed is exceptionally fast, which is talked about by everyone, who think she is a gifted adventurer.
But that's not the truth at all.
Ai was forced into this state by some 'demon'.
That 'demon' was none other than Eko's older brother.
Bovis, a genius swordsman from Nanyan City and the vice-captain of the Holy Rock Adventure Team!
'Is Bervis here to lecture me? But wait, three years have passed; the impact of that incident should have long since faded.'
Ai wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, subconsciously holding her breath, as if any slight movement would be noticed by Bervis.
She wasn't sure what Bervis was there for.
The only thing I know is that I absolutely must not let Bervis find out that she is here!
Three years have passed, and she's only a level 28 mage. If Bovis finds out, he'll definitely teach her a lesson.
They might even publicly ridicule her, ruining her good reputation in White Dove City.
To put it bluntly, the person Aiko hates the most is her older brother!
In the hall, Bervis stood with his hands behind his back, casually looking around as if he were in his own living room.
Bovis shook his head and said, "There are more than 500 people in the hall, with an average level of only 11. And that's the Adventurers' Guild in the inner city. The level in the outer city is even lower."
"The floor tiles in White Dove City have been replaced with new ones, and temperature-controlled magic arrays have been installed on the ceilings, but the adventurers are still just as bad. It's a wonder you guys managed to survive the monster tide."
"If I were even a tenth as lucky as you, I wouldn't have a useless little sister who ran away and hasn't come back for three years."
Bovis spoke in a gentle tone, his standard Imperial accent displaying a gentlemanly demeanor.
This is a pronunciation that only upper-class nobles can learn, and compared to the adventurers of White Dove City, it's like the difference between standard Mandarin and a dialect.
In other situations, Bervis's fluent imperial accent alone would have won him the favor of many noble ladies.
However, this is the Adventurers' Guild of White Dove City, and Bovis's words angered all the adventurers present!
Bovis practically taunted him, saying that the adventurers in White Dove City were too weak.
They are of low rank, I admit it, that's a fact.
However, White Dove City did not withstand the monster tide by luck alone.
White Dove City boasts adventure teams like [Mind's Eye] Abner, [Eye of Truth] Linda, Ice Flower, Snow Goose, and many more, all of whom shine brightly amidst the monster tide.
Many adventurers worked together and made numerous sacrifices to finally resolve the monster tide.
Such a heavy war, one that the people of White Dove City should be proud of, was dismissed by Bovis with a mere "luck." How could the hot-blooded adventurers tolerate this?
A chorus of curses erupted from the crowd.
"Who the hell are you? You're just showing off in someone else's city, aren't you? Why don't you go to the capital and do it?"
"Luck? If you're so capable, why don't you try solving the monster tide by luck?"
"I think all you're good at is talking."
Despite the tirade of the crowd, Bervis remained unperturbed, a faint smile still playing on his lips.
"Sigh, that's why you guys are just a bunch of low-level losers. You can't even see the situation clearly, so it's no wonder you can't become a Rising Sun-level adventurer group."
"What did you say? If you have the guts, hit me! I'm ready to lie on the ground and choose my carriage."
"No problem, I'll grant your request."
A heavy pressure caused the person who spoke to scream in agony; his lower leg broke, and he collapsed to his knees.
Bervis calmly walked over and threw a bag of gold coins in front of the howling adventurer.
"There are ten purple gold coins inside, enough to buy two carriages."
"Is there anyone else who wants something else?"
"But let me warn you, next time it won't be so mild. You might end up paralyzed on one side and never be able to get out of bed again."
Bervis's elegant imperial accent exuded composure at all times. With a smile in his narrowed eyes, he surveyed the crowd around him, and everyone he stared at shrank back.
"Oh."
Bervis let out a light, indifferent laugh.
