Xie Lude stood at the door, his armor covered with a layer of golden light, and it seemed that he had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Captain, it's six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time for the second cleaning mission." Xie Lude looked at Su Mingan: "You haven't had dinner yet. There is a good barbecue restaurant nearby, and I would like to invite you to go with me."
Su Mingan was stunned: "Haven't you been there before?"
He almost thought that there was something wrong with his memory when he went back to the previous game. He clearly remembered that he had already eaten...
"No, not the one we went to last time." Xie Lude still smiled brightly: "Because I just came back from outside, I really miss the delicious food in Praia. It would be too conspicuous to go alone, so I can only invite you to go with me..."
Su Mingan thought that since there was nothing to do for the time being, he might as well improve this person's favorability, so he agreed to the invitation.
He said goodbye to the old lady and left the bungalow with her photo in his pocket.
…
[Obtained C-level temporary task: Deliver photos. ]
[Task Description: Deliver Garde's family portrait to the Soul Hunter Leader Elras of the Central Soul Hunter Division.]
[Mission Reward: Elras Favorability +10, 30 points.]
…
A woman's cough was faintly heard behind the door.
Although the old lady did not say it explicitly during the conversation, Su Mingan could tell that her daughter Jiajia must be suffering from a terminal illness. Otherwise, she would not have let the old man go to Yunzhong City alone to look for the so-called medicine to cure the disease.
Now the letter from Yunshang City has come down, saying that there is no need to wait, which means...
Su Mingan looked back again.
The bungalow standing by the river had an empty clothes drying rack at the door and the cloth used to dry the salted fish had been taken away.
The river water sparkled with golden luster, and on the quiet street, the bungalow was so quiet that it seemed to be sleeping in the sunset.
"Thank you, Lude." Su Ming'an said to the Knight of Light standing beside him, "Didn't that family receive the sacrifice allowance?"
Xie Lude was slightly startled.
"Her son is a sacrificed Soul Hunter, so logically he should have financial assistance. Why is his life so difficult?" Su Mingan said.
"Actually." Xie Lude paused and said, "Her family has already received the subsidy, but the form of distribution is a bit special..."
"Why is it special?"
Su Mingan asked.
"..." Xie Lude was silent for a moment.
He seemed reluctant to answer the question, but he didn't want to lie out of chivalry.
After a moment's hesitation, he abruptly changed the subject.
"Captain, let's talk about the barbecue restaurant later..."
It seems that Xie Lude doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
Su Mingan walked through the street. There was a piece of reclaimed farmland near the east district, where many farmers were working.
He heard the residents whispering:
"...Have you heard that martial law has been imposed in the South District?"
"It is said that a group of soul hunters disobeyed orders and went to attack the soul clan without authorization, and they all died..."
“What a sin… There aren’t many Soul Hunters, so why are there still some who don’t obey orders? What should we do…”
"I heard that a soul hunter who managed to escape sent a message saying that a new ruler of the soul clan has emerged over there. His name is 'White Evil'. He has three heads and six arms and can eat thirty people in one meal..."
It seems that the news of the new leader of the Soul Clan has spread.
However, Sevilla’s means of blocking the news were appropriate; no one revealed his real name, and the news even seemed a little outrageous.
Su Mingan entered the barbecue restaurant.
Sitting in the steaming barbecue restaurant, Su Mingan finally understood what Xie Lude meant when he said "It's too conspicuous to go alone."
The girls here were more enthusiastic and proactive than each other. Just when he sat here for a while, he was harassed by four or five girls who came up to say hello.
If Xie Lude, a Knight of Light, came alone, he would probably be harassed. After all, a Knight is a more popular profession than a Soul Hunter. Due to Xie Lude's character requirements, he couldn't say anything too harsh and could only refuse softly.
Su Mingan was so annoyed that he called Lin Yin and Lu Shu, who were wandering around nearby, over again. With Lin Yin as a shield, fewer people came to say hello.
Afterwards, he and Xie Lude went to patrol Thirteenth Street, and indeed, they did not find any Soul Clan.
...There is no trace of the Soul Clan at all. Where did the Soul Clan come from?
The intelligence from the Soul Hunter was really bad, wasting an entire night of his time.
"Then I'll go back first." Su Mingan said.
"Sweet dreams," said Sheridan.
…
Su Mingan walked through the night road and pushed open the door.
As he walked towards the bed, he heard a gust of wind and it seemed that something was rushing towards him.
...Anyone?
Just as he was about to respond, his body had already reached the edge of the bed. In an instant, his vision changed drastically.
[You are the great demon king guarding the castle. Please fight to the death with the brave man who will challenge you later! ]
…
He frowned slightly.
It was obvious that someone was lurking in his room, preparing to attack him secretly.
But before he could see the other person clearly, the night checkpoint began. I guess the other person was also looking at the empty bed with a confused look on his face.
…Now I can only wait until today’s level is over before going back.
He walked out of the church and opened the door. The guards on both sides bowed their heads to him. The system's voice continued to ring in his ears:
[However, as a fledgling new demon king, your resources and strength are limited. ]
[Currently, you have 100 points of battle resources and 146 soldiers willing to follow you.]
Hundreds of white lights flashed.
