Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 286

She already knew why Alice had run away – largely because of Roya's instigation – so naturally she wouldn't give Roya a friendly look.

Claire, her face cold, pulled Alice aside and began to earnestly admonish her, "Your Highness, how could you run away from the castle? What's fun outside? There are many dangers outside. The castle is the only place that matters."

Alice was interrupted angrily before she could finish speaking. Alice had always been very well-mannered and knew that interrupting others was very impolite, but she still chose to do it anyway.

"It's not as scary outside as you say. You're all lying to me." Alice was a little angry, and her tone became more forceful and her voice much louder.

This was the first time Claire had been spoken to in this tone by Alice, and she didn't react for a moment. By the time she realized what was happening, Alice had already left in a huff.

Claire turned around and met Roya's gaze. Although his handsome face remained expressionless, Claire wondered if she could see a faint smile in his pale golden eyes.

Without a word, and without displaying any hostility this time, she approached Roya. The knight gave a bitter smile, opened her mouth, and finally managed to utter only one sentence: "Very well, you wait."

She realized that Alice had been completely led astray by Roya.

Otherwise, given Alice's personality, she would never have done such a thing.

Although Alice had had such thoughts before, she only ever thought about them and would never actually do anything so outrageous.

But everything changed after Roya arrived.

Roya was just the trigger, not the root cause. The real problem now is not Roya, but Alice.

The most troublesome thing is that as long as Alice keeps having this idea in her mind.

Alice, now bewitched by Roya, has already taken action and tasted the benefits. Needless to say, the royal palace will inevitably be in chaos for a while.

——————————On the other side——————————

Alice was still scolded. The old king was unusually angry, and her elder brother kept mocking her.

However, when Alice put on a pitiful act and ran to the old king's side, looking as if she was about to burst into tears, the old king was speechless.

Unbeknownst to them, the old king's initial reprimand gradually transformed into gentle comfort.

The previous serious tone had completely vanished.

The old king first patiently explained his difficulties, then spoke many profound truths in an attempt to persuade Alice.

The results were minimal; the girl remained unchanged, looking like she was about to cry.

The old father scratched his balding head, sighed, waved his hand, and said to Alice with a weary expression, "Go down."

Alice's decision to run away and become an adventurer certainly put the palace on edge, and everyone was worried about her.

Chapter 303 Aqua's Arrival

But when Alice actually returned, no one knew what to say to her.

Alice only needed to act cute and coquettishly, and the old king at the top would simply let the girl go, turning a blind eye, and the matter would be over.

There's nothing to say at the top, so naturally there can't be anything to say at the bottom either.

So, for the next few days, Alice went out to be an adventurer almost every day, starting from a place that was getting farther and farther away each day.

Finally, the old king could no longer bear the complaints from below and had Alice arrested and locked up for three days. After three days, Alice continued to do as she pleased.

She's become a wild girl.

This is Alice's life. Compared to Alice, Roya's life is much more peaceful.

He spent his days idly, occasionally taking Alice out to hunt magical beasts; life was quite pleasant.

The nights were not peaceful either. The Demon King's army launched several attacks, all led by its officers. These attacks were mostly harassment, and the Demon King's army would quickly retreat if they felt they couldn't win.

The old king actually disliked Roya quite a bit, since much information pointed to Roya as the reason Alice became so difficult to manage, and the Alice of the past had disappeared and was gone forever.

This naturally made the old king very angry.

However, after Luo Ya backstabbed and killed a seemingly leading cadre, he fell silent.

Of course, the guy who was killed wasn't any character Roya had seen in anime from his previous life. He had ram horns, minotaur-like features, and the appearance of a ram-headed person wasn't entirely unacceptable. He claimed to be Mammon, and his strength was closest to that of a Demon King's army executive.

As for why the leader isn't a member of the Demon King's staff, according to the other party, that person got drunk today and casually assigned him today's task.

It was just harassment; no one intended to fight to the death.

Then there is no more then.

When Luo Ya looked at the other person, he couldn't remember who it was at first glance. After thinking for a while, he felt that even if he killed him, it wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, the other person's strength was close to that of the Demon King's subordinates, so he just dealt with him.

From that moment on, the old king became instantly kind and amiable to Roya.

The killing of a general naturally made those guys restless, and the next day they sent out a large number of men to get revenge.

Then, they were all lost in Roya's hands.

And Roya also saw who that drunk guy from yesterday was.

It was a tall figure riding a skeletal warhorse, holding a head in his hands.

The opponent was dressed in black armor, which exuded a sinister and deathly aura. His head was covered by a heavy helmet. He held the head in his right hand and a black greatsword in his left hand. The greatsword was also eerie and exuded a sinister and deathly aura.

The headless knight was tall, with his net height estimated to be around three meters.

He is Beldia, the headless knight, one of the Demon King's military officers.

Beldia was very shrewd. Although he was furious to hear that his men had been wiped out, he did not rush in headfirst. Instead, he first sent troops forward to press on.

He hid in the back, quietly watching Roya in front of him.

Luo Ya naturally noticed the other party as well, but considering that he might be with the real Kichiku later and there might be more of the other party's storyline, he didn't make a move, but just used a powerful move to clear the field.

There are many of these magical beasts, but if you really count them, they are just small fry.

Roya used a cumulonimbus cloud that hadn't been used in a long time.

The Thunderous Cloud is a Water Saint-level spell, and although it is only Water Saint-level, its power is still quite considerable.

The spellcasting process was quick, and Roya, deliberately bored, struck what he thought was a very cool pose and chanted the incantation in a very pretentious manner.

Thunder and rain raged, lightning mingling with the rain as it fell in torrential downpours, relentlessly washing over everything visible on the ground.

And so, this dark mass of demonic beasts all turned to ashes and vanished the moment the lightning struck.

The young man remained standing at the very front, while the magical beasts that had been charging towards Roya's location one moment had all vanished the next.

Large raindrops fell on the young man's golden head. The water droplets did not fall directly on him. Just as the young man was about to approach Roya, the water droplets seemed to hit some kind of barrier and naturally slid to the sides. The young man's expression remained calm, his pale golden eyes fixed on the front. It was as if everything he had done before had nothing to do with him.

The headless horseman gripped the reins, his hand unconsciously tightening its grip. The soul fire in his eye socket flickered. The headless horseman pondered for less than a fraction of a second before making a decision.

He immediately turned his horse around and charged into the distance.

Beldia realized that the guy in front of him was incredibly strong, and fighting him would be suicide.

Seeing the other party's frantic galloping, Roja smirked, finding this Demon King executive quite amusing.

Roya earned the fear of his enemies and the respect of his own people.

From then on, Roya also acquired another nickname.

The Manipulator of the Atmosphere

His merits were undeniable, and the old king treated him with great courtesy, personally patting Roya on the shoulder and praising him as an outstanding young man in the empire, promising a bright future for the kingdom, and showering him with compliments.

He was then awarded the highest medal in the kingdom, which was said to be more prestigious than even the most nobles. Only Roya and another sword master were able to receive this medal.

Another master swordsman was Mikami Hibiki, who was not in the capital at this time, but had gone to fight a dragon.

After this incident, the Demon King's army rarely launched attacks, and even when they did, it was just for show.

Although it has always been just for show, this time the offensive was noticeably less aggressive.

After all, a large wave of monsters was wiped out by Roya's ultimate skill, and the Demon King's army is now waiting for its cooldown.

Even the minor fish need time to recover, so the capital city returned to its usual leisurely state.

And Roya's level also successfully reached the terrifying level 70.

Both waves of demon army were cleared by Roya, as well as a goat-headed man, so it's no wonder his level increased so quickly.

The attributes are still evenly distributed. The further you go, the more obvious the bonuses from the attributes become. Of course, the experience points required will also increase. The attribute bonuses in this world are quite good. All those powers are transformed into foundations that continuously nourish Roya, and Roya can clearly feel that his strength has been enhanced.

Although it didn't increase exponentially, it was roughly the same overall.

The time below was quite uneventful. Alice had changed from her previous introverted self. The girl had successfully evolved from being socially awkward to being a social butterfly, and could basically say a few words to anyone she met.

Time passed slowly, Roya's strength continued to recover, and the young man staying in the capital felt somewhat bored.

In the capital, apart from Alice who would come running over to cuddle with him, Roya didn't have many acquaintances.

He could only catch 4 people occasionally and have a good time. Life in the capital was good, but Roya always felt a sense of boredom.

Time flies, and just like that, twenty days have passed.

Roya finally received a letter from the capital.

The letter was sent by the receptionist, Mona. It began with a simple greeting and then got straight to the point.

Two strange people have arrived at the guild: a boy of about fifteen or sixteen and a girl with azure hair. Both the boy and the girl match your description exactly. I think they must be the people you're waiting for.

[Your deeds in the capital have spread quickly, and our guild leader is grinning from ear to ear. But as you said, only the guild leader and I know about you. Not many people in the town know about what you did in the capital yet. If you come back and those guys find out, they'll definitely be shocked, right?]

The letter ended there, and the young man fell into deep thought as he looked at the neat handwriting on it.

I definitely have to go back.
