WTYTIAAN Chapter 104

Chapter 104

The Black Serpent Mercenary Group probably never imagined that one day they would be jointly annihilated by the Demon King, a Giant Dragon, a Dragon King, and the greatest magician Merlin.

This lineup was a bit too much.

What virtues and abilities did they possess to deserve this?

Even the gods in the ancient God War probably didn’t have this kind of treatment, right?

The Black Serpent Mercenary Group died without even knowing why, nor could they have imagined who exactly killed them.

After resting for a night, Yan Yunqing went to see Nika the next day, submitted all the tasks, and received a large amount of experience. At the same time, he also raised the favorability of the Children’s Troupe to ‘Respected’.

What kind of concept is this? Let’s put it this way, the favorability is divided into eight levels in total.

‘Respected’ is second only to the full-value favorability of ‘Faith’. Those who can reach ‘Faith’ are basically fanatics of gods, but since Yan Yunqing didn’t say he was a god, those children from the Children’s Troupe might have directly and painlessly transformed into fanatics.

However, the overall favorability of Freedom City towards him remained neutral, neither increasing nor decreasing due to the elimination of the Mantiper, a major force entrenched here.

Yan Yunqing temporarily put this matter aside, left a pile of Small Blue Bottles for Nika, and also told the children not to trust Mr. Paul too much before preparing to leave this place.

As for why he didn’t directly kill Paul, it was simply because Paul’s name was yellow to him, and he didn’t belong to the type who openly did evil. Even if he killed him, he wouldn’t get experience. At the same time, because Paul often treated people in Freedom City, he did a good job on the surface, and everyone thought he was a kind pastor.

If Yan Yunqing really killed him without saying a word, then Yan Yunqing’s favorability in Freedom City would drop by at least one level. Currently, his Joker identity in Bato Vita is already ‘Hostile’, and Yan Yunqing doesn’t want to lower Freedom City’s favorability so quickly.

Offending too many factions is not a good thing.

With the mentality of ‘Since you’re pretending, then pretend to be a good person for the rest of your life, who can say you’re not a good person then?’, Yan Yunqing gave up the idea of killing Paul.

“You’re going to Sigrity?” Merlin’s expression was strange for a moment, “You now… well, it’s not impossible.”

“Although I don’t know what you’ve experienced these years, why your level has suddenly become so low, but these past thousand years have indeed seen the rise of many disciplines. It’s not bad for you to go to Sigrity and take a look.”

Merlin thought for a while, “How about I have Penelope get you a teacher’s identity?”

Yan Yunqing: …?

Teacher? Huh? Me?

Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but interrupt Merlin’s words, “I don’t think I made myself clear, I’m going to Sigrity as a student?”

“Student?” Merlin hesitated, “Is that so? Do you want to learn those emerging disciplines?”

Yan Yunqing: “…Yeah.”

Saying it like that is fine too, although his Demon King panel also has un unlocked skills, the past thousand years have indeed seen the addition of many new skills, which are definitely beneficial for him.

After all, his main purpose is to sponge skills and level up.

“Is that so? Actually, being a teacher has more freedom, you know?”

Merlin secretly glanced at Diviak. If Nolan goes as a student, he’ll definitely be immersed in the academy every day. Merlin, as the initial principal, couldn’t possibly not know how busy the Sigrity Academy’s courses are.

But if he goes as a teacher, he might not even teach a few classes in a semester. This is convenient for fostering relationships!

“Don’t joke around, what am I going to teach?” Yan Yunqing said helplessly, “You can see, my current level can’t teach those geniuses in your academy.”

Merlin was also choked, and twitched the corner of his mouth, “You’re really too modest.”

The Eternal Lord, the famous Demon King in the historical records of the Ermann Continent, is not qualified to be a teacher at Sigrity Academy, then who else can be?

That is the Eternal Lord who led the alien races to end the God War, personally established a great empire, and completed the great cause of unifying the continent!

If it wasn’t for this Demon King running off somewhere halfway, disappearing for more than a thousand years, without leaving a proper successor, this Eternal Empire wouldn’t have been destroyed in just over three hundred years.

In the past, the Eternal Empire and the Eternal Lord created too many miracles, and also left behind many systems and cultures that benefited the entire continent, and even were learned and used to this day by Romunike and Bato Vita.

In addition, Nolan’s Demon King reputation spread throughout the entire continent back then, which shows how strong the Demon King’s strength is. Powerful figures such as Theodore, Diviak, and Sylph are willing to become his dependents, and he can even kill gods. Nolan’s strength is beyond doubt.

Even if his level is a little low now, Merlin still believes that he has only encountered some things and has been forced to become like this. As long as he is given time, he will soon become the amazingly talented Eternal Lord again.

Yan Yunqing:?

Is he being considered humble even when he’s telling the truth?

“…Then what do you think I can teach?”

Merlin pondered, Nolan’s words also made some sense. With his current level, it’s indeed not enough to teach those geniuses in the academy, but…

“Teach ‘The Eternal Chronicle’ or ‘The God War’.” Merlin said decisively.

Who else could understand the things in the Eternal Chronicle better than the Eternal Lord who personally established the Eternal Empire? The God War is even simpler, who else could understand the God War better than the Demon King who actually participated in it and even ended it single-handedly?

Yan Yunqing: …So, you want a historical figure to teach history?

Yan Yunqing waved his hands repeatedly, “Forget it, let those who really study history teach history.”

Let him teach history? What are you thinking? Does he have to praise himself frantically in the textbook to the students in the classroom? Or is he going to tell the students the story of Diviak and Barros fighting so hard that dog hair and dragon scales were flying everywhere?

If that doesn’t work, should he say that all of the Demon King’s dependents are secretly in love with the Demon King?

He would be regarded as an academic swindler who fabricates unofficial history, right?

Yan Yunqing was speechless.

Merlin shrugged, “Since you insist, then okay.”

Merlin glanced at Diviak again, and sighed in his heart: This disappointing guy, he doesn’t even know to say a few words at this time.

Forget it, he can’t control this matter. If Isabel hadn’t asked him to think of a way, he wouldn’t have bothered with these messy things.

With Nolan’s personality, it’s estimated that it will take several centuries to succeed. Just take your time and outlive all your competitors, and it will be your time to take over.

Merlin shamelessly calculated in his heart.

Yan Yunqing: “Are you going back to Dragon Valley with Isabel next?”

Merlin nodded, “After that, I should also go to find Amos. Isabel has found some more clues, so it’s uncertain where we’ll go next.”

Yan Yunqing didn’t care about this. Since he had met Merlin and Isabel, he also gained them as NPC friends, and he could now use the chat system to chat privately, so it would be easy to find each other later.

His gaze fell on Diviak, and before he could speak, Diviak had already learned to answer preemptively.

“I’ll take you to Sigrity.” Diviak said, “After that, I’ll go find Amos with Isabel, but I have to take you to Sigrity first.”

Seeing that Diviak’s eyes were firm, and it didn’t seem like he could change his mind with a few words, Yan Yunqing didn’t continue to waste his breath, and directly agreed.

“Alright, then come with me.”

Merlin:?

Good kid, it seems I underestimated you before.

Before leaving Freedom City again, Yan Yunqing had one more thing to do.

Based on the locations he marked during his previous exploration of the city, he found the Bounty Hunter Association headquarters.

It was a four- or five-story building, pitch black, and its exterior was a rare sight of grandeur and luxury in Freedom City. Although it couldn’t compare to the internal decoration of Mantiper, the Bounty Hunter Association was indeed well-built.

Yan Yunqing had long switched to Joker’s persona, and the gorgeous mask on his face made passersby look at him from time to time, but there were all kinds of strange people in Freedom City, and a person wearing a mask on their face was nothing.

Yan Yunqing naturally walked into the Bounty Hunter Association like this. There were not many people in the association’s hall. Most of them were squatting in front of the mission list, waiting to accept missions.

The headquarters definitely updates missions the fastest. If there are any lucrative missions, the Bounty Hunter Association headquarters will definitely be the fastest to receive them.

This is why many mercenary groups choose to be stationed in Freedom City, just to gain a time difference.

Yan Yunqing looked around, walked to the registration counter, and there was a man sitting inside dozing off, nodding his head up and down, like a chicken pecking at rice.

He knocked on the table, and the man dozing off inside woke up with a start, looked left and right in confusion, and then saw the person standing in front of him.

The man half-covered his mouth, yawned, and looked at Yan Yunqing lazily. His eyes paused when he saw his black hair, red eyes, and the mask, and his eyes flickered, “Here to register as a bounty hunter?”

Yan Yunqing raised an eyebrow slightly, “Yes.”

Why does this man seem to recognize him?

The man lowered his head, rummaged in the drawer, pulled out a piece of paper and put it in front of Yan Yunqing, and then took out a quill, “Here, fill it out, and then I’ll enter it for you.”

Yan Yunqing took the paper and glanced at it. There wasn’t much to fill out on it, only the code name, level, preferred mission type, and a few simple questions.

Very simple, but Yan Yunqing only filled out the code name and mission type, and returned the paper. The man looked at it, didn’t say anything, and put the paper away.

He took out an iron badge and put it in front of Yan Yunqing, “Newly joined bounty hunters can only accept some low-level missions. If you are willing to show your strength, the association will update the badge level according to your strength. Of course, this level can also be upgraded based on the points and quality of mission completion.”

Yan Yunqing lowered his eyes, “How to show strength?”

“Our association has a special strength testing device. Do you need it?”

Yan Yunqing nodded indifferently, and the man pointed him in a direction. Yan Yunqing walked in.

After a while, he came out again. The man looked up and glanced at him in confusion, “Are you lost?”

Yan Yunqing:?

Yan Yunqing: “I’ve already finished testing.”

Man:?

The man was incredulous: “Ah?”

He quickly lowered his head, checked the test records, and found that this Joker in front of him had completed the most difficult test challenge of their association in less than three minutes!
