Looking Forward to Another World

Chapter 340

Ri Yestyje.

This is not only the name of the kingdom, but also the name that the royal capital, the capital of the kingdom, has used since ancient times.

As the capital of a country with a total population of nine million, the royal capital can be summed up in one word, that is... ancient.

Ancient means not only that it has existed for a long time and has a long history, but also that the city is old and lifeless.

Here, most of the houses lined up here and there are very old and simple, without any novelty or beauty.

Here, there is no scenery worth mentioning, but there are many places that can make people dissatisfied and resentful.

There are many roads that are unpaved and full of mud, presenting a scene that should not be found in a city.

Citizens walked shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the road, walking silently and repressedly among the crowds, preferring to be crowded rather than walking on the main road in the middle.

That's because carriages will pass by on this road from time to time. The people on those carriages are either nobles or high-ranking officials. If they block their way, it is not uncommon for them to be beaten to death by the guards. thing.

The royal capital of Yestije is such a city, a city dominated by high-ranking officials and nobles, with poor security and order, and almost no place that makes people feel nostalgic.

"...When will this situation change?"

Such a whispering voice came from the warrior captain of this country, a man who was called the strongest warrior by neighboring countries - Gazef Stronov.

At this time, Gazef was walking on a street in the royal capital, looking at the old city and the depressing street scene, and fell into deep thought.

Perhaps it's because he's getting older, but lately Gazef has often been like this, having inexplicable feelings about things he's used to seeing.

Especially regarding the current situation of the kingdom, Gazef felt increasingly worried.

Among the three surrounding human countries, although the Kingdom is not the smallest country, it is the one with the biggest problems.

Because this country is currently in a state where it is not surprising to be divided at any time.

Gazef wanted to change this situation, but found that he did not have the ability at all.

It is true that he is very strong, at least he is definitely among the best in this country, but he is from a civilian background, and being able to sit in the position of warrior captain is already a step to the sky. Compared with those nobles who have a profound influence on this country, he is definitely Weak side.

Not only was he unable to change the current situation of the kingdom, he even had to deal with the troubles made by the nobles every day, which was a laborious task.

The encounter in Karn Village a few months ago told Gazef that some among the kingdom's nobles were eager to put themselves to death, even if it caused losses to the kingdom.

This made Gazef feel more and more recently that as a warrior leader, he felt a little exhausted mentally and physically.

If it weren't for his loyalty to the king and his desire to serve this country, Gazef didn't know if he could continue to persevere.

"What would he do if it were him?"

Gazef thought of the boy he met in Karn Village.

Even now, Gazef would still feel happy about that encounter.

This was not only because his life was saved by the other party, but also because he witnessed a legend there.

Just as Gazef was thinking this, a burst of discussion suddenly came from the crowd next to him.

"Have you heard? Our kingdom has given birth to two teams of adamantine-level adventurers in the past two months?"

This is a hot topic in the capital and even the entire kingdom recently.

Adamantium grade, the highest level adventurer.

Every adventurer who can reach this level is a person at the pinnacle of strength. Even if they have not yet entered the realm of heroes, they are not far behind.

There are only so many adventurers of this level that you can count with both hands even if you search all over Li Yestije, and they have also formed two teams, becoming the only two teams of adamantine-level adventurers in the kingdom. .

Recently, the third and fourth groups of such adventurers have appeared.

Gazef was attracted by this topic, so he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.

The people who are discussing this topic also seem to be risk takers.

They were not wearing much weapons and seemed to be taking a break, walking aimlessly on the streets while talking like this.

"Is there already a third adamantite-level adventurer team and a fourth adamantite-level adventurer team in the kingdom?"

"Why did two teams of adamantine-level adventurers suddenly appear?"

"Actually, we can't call them two teams. I heard that one team has only two people, and the other has only one person. Whether this can be regarded as two teams can only be said to be debatable."

"Have such a small number of people accomplished enough to be promoted to the fine steel level?"

"This is also very powerful."

"Could it be some kind of trick?"

The adventurers exchanged opinions without restraint.

"Then what? What exactly did they do?"

"I don't know very well, but it is said that the team of two people completed many very difficult tasks in the past two months, such as annihilating the Goblin Tribe Alliance that suddenly emerged from the Tob Forest. , and took advantage of the situation to conquer the forest wise king who had lived in the depths of the forest for hundreds of years. With the help of the forest wise king, he collected extremely rare medicinal herbs, and also defeated the giant basilisk and undead from the Kaz Plains. Legion, I last heard that the other party defeated a powerful vampire in the northern forest."

"This... sounds really shocking."

"No wonder it became a fine steel grade."

"A team of only two people can actually complete a mission of this level. It seems that they have real skills."

"What's the name of their team?"

"What color is it?"

The two current adamantine-level adventurer teams in the kingdom - [Blue Rose] and [Vermilion Dew Drop] both have colors that represent themselves.

[Blue Rose] means pale color, which is also blue.

[Vermilion Dew Drops] is vermilion, which is red.

This led to the advent of a trend among the adventurers in the kingdom to use a certain color as the symbol of the team.

That's why adventurers say this.

However, this trend obviously did not affect the two people mentioned today.

"I heard that the team hasn't decided on an official name yet?"

"However, the two adamantium-level adventurers in that team each have their own titles."

"They seem to be called [Dark Hero] Momon and [Miki] Nabe, right?"

"Then their representative color is black, right?"

"You can say that."

After hearing this, Gazef secretly paid attention to the two people mentioned in the topic.

"[Dark Hero] and [Mei Ji]...?"

It's really amazing that a team of only two people can reach the fine steel level.

Unfortunately, compared to the other person, Gazef still felt that they were slightly inferior.

If you want to say why...

"Um?"

Just when Gazef was about to continue listening to the adventurers' conversation and waiting for the topic of the person he had been paying attention to to come up, suddenly, something out of the corner of his eye was inadvertently attracted to him.

"Boom!"

There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and a drizzle of rain began to fall without any warning.

"It's raining!"

"Go back to the hotel!"

"Go, go, go!"

The adventurers walking beside Gazef immediately left in panic.

The same goes for the people around them. They either quickened their pace and ran to a place where they could take shelter from the rain, or they took out the tools they carried with them to block the rain.

Thanks to this, the topic that Gazef wanted to hear was stopped. No one was discussing it anymore. He was not in the mood to pay attention to those rumors anymore, but turned his sights in one direction.

There, in a small path where the main road turned to the right, there was a man sitting on the ground.

He was all dirty, like a beggar sleeping in the open.

His appearance is very sloppy, and even his hair seems to have been dyed by himself. He does not look like a serious person.

There were two reasons why Gazef was attracted by the other party.

One was that the other person's figure made him feel slightly familiar.

One is holding a weapon tightly in the opponent's right hand.

That's a handful...

"knife?"

Gazef still feels quite familiar with weapons like "knives".

It is said that this is a weapon that was born in the desert of the far south and is very rare.

Gazef had only seen this kind of weapon from an incredibly strong boy about two months ago, and he had a deep understanding of its hardness.

After all, there are not many weapons that can withstand his [Six Light Continuous Slash], but the knife on the young man can do it without even needing to be unsheathed.

Now that he saw this kind of weapon again, Gazef would inevitably feel a little curious. Coupled with the familiarity the other party gave him, after hesitating for a few times, Gazef walked over.

Not long after, Gazef came to the other party.

"..."

The other party seemed to be aware of it, but his reaction was quite slow. He slowly raised his head and glanced at Gazef.

Gazef also saw the other party's appearance clearly.

In an instant, the memory came back to life like a roaring wave.

"It's you?"

Suddenly, Gazef was shocked.

…………

Li Yestije Kingdom, Border Mountains.

On a snow-capped mountain here, a figure was walking in the snowstorm without wearing any protective gear at all.

He stepped into the wind, but his steps were extremely smooth, as if the blizzard raging here was just a breeze, and not even a single snowflake was caught on his body.

While walking like this, suddenly, the other party stopped.

"This is……?"

He seemed to feel something and took out a piece of parchment from his arms.

On the parchment, a line of words appeared without any warning.

"I also invite you to come to the royal capital and ask me if I have anything to ask for—Gadeff Stronov."

Looking at the handwriting that suddenly appeared, the young man was silent for a long time.

"That's fine."

After a while, the boy put away the parchment.

"Just go and have a look."

So, the boy disappeared into the blizzard and disappeared.

The fever should be gone...

But I coughed for a day and felt like I was about to cough up the water in my lungs.
