“Their strength somewhat exceeds my imagination. It seems the incident in Green Leaf Village was not deliberately exaggerated. They really are very powerful. It’s only natural that the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince suffered setbacks in front of them. However, the Tenth Prince’s Dragon Rider Guards still disappoint me greatly. They were unexpectedly so vulnerable.”
In a somewhat dim room, the girl standing by the window spoke coldly.
She was wearing a red long robe. Her body was tall and slender, with gems dotted on her shoulders. From the window, one could just see the street outside, where it was falling into chaos.
The Tenth Prince, in a fit of anger, had killed his attendant Las. The city guards arrived late and were dealing with the situation.
The woman closed the window and turned around.
One could see a beautiful and straightforward face, with black hair and blue-green eyes. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She sighed leisurely.
“What is it? Is the infamous ‘Joker Girl’ feeling troubled too?” a boy’s voice said. That voice came from the dark corner of the room, where someone was sitting.
“The cargo ship crossing the Warm Water River was the best opportunity, but it inexplicably failed. I never expected the Tenth Prince to solve the problem. I just wanted to see their strength, especially… Debbie.” The girl said in her mouth, slowly walking to the boy’s side. “The reason they can be so unscrupulous must be relying on Debbie’s Joker Spirit. That’s a spirit that has reached the legendary level. It’s such a waste on her… The most regrettable thing is that the Tenth Prince’s Dragon Rider Guards couldn’t even force Debbie to summon the Joker Spirit.”
She wanted the Tenth Prince’s Dragon Rider Guards to attack Ye Chui, with the purpose of making Debbie summon the Joker Spirit?
Spirits are divided into four levels: ordinary, elite, epic, legendary.
Among Debbie’s spirits, Xiulu Lu and Afu’er are ordinary spirits. Jierga and the Valkyrie belong to epic-level spirits. The Joker Spirit is somewhat special. It has five states in total. Among them, the joyful Joker and the sad Joker belong to ordinary-level spirits. The angry Joker belongs to elite-level spirits. When it reaches the mad Joker, it already belongs to epic-level spirits.
Debbie has only summoned the mad Joker twice so far, and each time it almost went out of control, attacking indiscriminately.
As for the most terrifying horror Joker, that already belongs to legendary-level spirits. This is something that even Debbie herself does not know, because Debbie has never dared to summon it until now.
In some respects, among the spirits Debbie possesses, the most powerful is not Jierga or the Valkyrie, but the Joker Spirit. It’s just that she cannot control that powerful spirit force at all.
The Joker Girl thought that the reason Ye Chui and the others were so impressive was because they relied on Debbie’s horror Joker…
This was, of course, a foolish misconception.
She had a full understanding of Ye Chui and his group’s experiences, but obviously not enough.
“You really are quite obsessed with that Joker Spirit.” The boy teased.
“I am also a summoner. Debbie can sign a contract with the Joker Spirit, so naturally I, who have the same bloodline, can too… Over these years, I have tried many times, but always failed. It wasn’t until about half a month ago that I learned the reason. It turns out the previous host of the Joker Spirit has not died yet.” The Joker Girl said with a cold smile.
Almost all spirits can only sign with one host at the same time. Only when the contract is dissolved or the host dies can the spirit sign a contract with a new summoner. Debbie had been in seclusion for sixty-three years. During that time, the host contract of the Joker Spirit had always been on her, so others could not sign a contract with the Joker Spirit. Half a month ago, when Debbie’s identity as a traverser was revealed, it also made the Joker Girl understand why she could not sign a contract with the Joker Spirit.
“The illegitimate child and the princess of the Anduin family. It’s really a bit tricky…” The boy sighed leisurely. Although he said it was tricky, from his tone, one could not hear much sense of trickiness. “It’s really not easy for me, this prince, to seize the throne.”
The boy’s identity was impressively a prince!
It was just unknown which prince this was.
“I will definitely kill Debbie, this Joker Spirit host. I won’t let that illegitimate child go either.” The Joker Girl’s voice suddenly rose a bit. “In fact, I have already arranged it. They will soon fall into my trap. My prince, the throne of the Star Empire will ultimately be yours.”
“When I become the emperor that day, you will also become my queen.”
The boy’s voice said with a bit of ambiguity. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the girl’s body. Rustling sounds rang out, and clothes slowly fell to the ground.
Soon, this pair of young boy and girl began to do adult things…
…
Ye Chui had already sent Long Bao back into the iPad. He and Debbie and the others headed to the Mercenary Guild in Ganglu City.
On the way, Ye Chui explained the information he had learned through mental intrusion. Of course, he did not explain his [Browser] ability. This kind of thing, if explained, probably no one would understand.
On the road, Ye Chui had been hesitating whether to use the [Browser] to enter the mental worlds of Debbie, Lesa and the others to take a look. From the experiment on Las, Ye Chui had already discovered that the [Browser] mental intrusion would not cause any damage to people. Even Las seemed to have not noticed any abnormality from the mental intrusion.
However, Ye Chui finally dismissed this idea. Exploring the thoughts of companions is a very immoral act. Ye Chui’s bottom line does not allow him to do so. Of course, after Debbie, Lesa and the others knew that Ye Chui’s mental intrusion magic was so useful, they forced Ye Chui to swear not to use this magic on them, which was also a direct reason…
Ye Chui looked at his iPad magic guide book with great interest.
He found that many functions of the magic guide book he had not yet explored. Whenever he learned a new spell, it was very likely that new functions would be unlocked. Ye Chui’s current exploration soon yielded results.
When he opened the [Browser] again, he suddenly received a reminder message.
Discovered search engine. Do you want to spend 1000 points to unlock the search engine?
“Search engine?” Ye Chui’s expression immediately became stunned.
A few days ago, Ye Chui had opened the [Browser], and there was no such prompt at that time. Now this prompt appeared, probably because Ye Chui used the [Intrusion] spell for the first time.
Ye Chui was more than familiar with the function of a search engine: searching for information. Keywords in web pages can be searched through the search engine. So what is the function of this magic-modified search engine?
Ye Chui’s mental intrusion is equivalent to treating each person’s thought world as a website, and people’s experiences, memories, and ideas will turn into articles and interfaces. The function of the magic-modified search engine, could it be to directly retrieve keywords in these articles and then list these web pages?
If the magic-modified search engine is really as he imagined, then this new ability is absolutely incredibly powerful!
“Ye Chui, what are you smirking about?” Debbie noticed Ye Chui’s abnormality and asked.
“Nothing, nothing. I discovered something good…” Ye Chui said hurriedly. “Wait for me to study it properly first.”
Debbie shook her head. She looked around: “Where exactly is the Mercenary Guild? Green, go ask someone.”
“Oh.” Green agreed and was about to go ask for directions.
Ye Chui’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly pulled Green: “Wait a minute. Let me use the new ability to search.”
The others looked at Ye Chui with puzzled faces.
Then Ye Chui decisively spent a thousand points to unlock the search engine.
After opening the [Browser], it was originally blank. Now, after unlocking the search engine, opening the [Browser] would show a search interface. It was a very simple interface, somewhat similar to the Baidu search in Ye Chui’s other world. Ye Chui, through his mind, quickly entered the keyword “Mercenary Guild” in the search box and confirmed the search.
Instantly, a bunch of web pages appeared on the page.
Each web page represented an article of memories and experiences related to the Mercenary Guild in a person’s mind. The web pages were arranged in chronological order.
Ye Chui’s eyes became brighter.
He hurriedly clicked on the first web page.
After a brief buffering, the page entered the corresponding website. This was a memory website of a man named “Case Dilis”, and the opened article was: “My wife ran away with someone. I want to hire someone to find her back”. It mentioned a series of complaints and anger after he discovered his wife ran away with someone, and he prepared to go to the Mercenary Guild to hire someone to find his wife back, but he was worried about the high hiring fee…
Unfortunately, this article did not mention the location of the Mercenary Guild.
So Ye Chui clicked on several other web pages to find useful information.
In the fourth page, he opened an article titled “The business on Fire Dragon Street is really good”. This article was a pedestrian’s insights and experiences, which recorded: “…Fire Dragon Street can be considered the most prosperous street in Ganglu City. No way, who let the Mercenary Guild be on this street? If I could open a shop here, I would make a fortune. Unfortunately, the rent here is too expensive…”
“The Mercenary Guild is on Fire Dragon Street!” Ye Chui immediately said happily.
Debbie’s eyes widened, looking at Ye Chui: “You really found the Mercenary Guild!? Then where is Fire Dragon Street?”
“…Wait for me a few minutes. I’ll continue to check!”
Next, Ye Chui slowly determined the location of the Mercenary Guild while searching.
These operations also allowed Ye Chui to quickly figure out how to use the magic-modified search engine.
First, the articles that the search engine can search are those that can be browsed for free, that is, information that can be obtained through normal conversation. The search engine can also enable advanced search, which can directly search for information that is not known to outsiders and requires points to unlock. However, each use of advanced search requires points, and the points consumed are quite a lot, as much as tens of thousands of points.
Second, the search engine cannot locate the position of the website, that is, the searched person. But if it is searched from people around, it can be located. That is to say, if it is a person who can be displayed on his map, the position of the other party can be located. In that case, if Ye Chui is in a place where the map package is unlocked, such as the Burial Sword Land, he can directly locate the identity and position of the other party.
At that time, the map will probably directly display the names of those white dots and red dots.
Finally, the search range of the search engine is considerable. According to Ye Chui’s estimation, it is at least two or three miles around, because each search will search out tens of thousands of results, and the entire Ganglu City has only 300,000 people. This is much more powerful than the map that can only see the visible range of ten meters, but it can only detect existence and cannot perform specific positioning.
Soon, after spending half an hour, Ye Chui and his group appeared outside the Mercenary Guild in Ganglu City.
Lesa couldn’t help asking Ye Chui. Originally, asking someone would only take ten minutes, but how did Ye Chui make them take half an hour by going around…
“My magic guide book has comprehended a new powerful ability. Let me tell you, in the future, when adventuring, we can complete information collection instantly.” Ye Chui, because he was too excited, did not hear that Lesa was speaking sarcastically. Using the search engine to find the way may not be practical, but in terms of collecting information, it is absolutely the most powerful ability!
Seeing Ye Chui answer irrelevantly, Debbie, Lesa and the others were somewhat speechless.
However, they also knew that Ye Chui could be so excited, so it seemed his new ability was really remarkable.
They prepared to enter the Mercenary Guild.
But at this moment, an old man suddenly flew out from the Mercenary Guild. This old man was kicked out by someone.
The old man happened to fall in front of Ye Chui and his group. He clumsily got up from the ground, with a face full of painful expression. Guni subconsciously went to help him up. The old man said thank you to Guni, and then with a face full of bitterness, said to the mercenary who was walking out of the Mercenary Guild: “Sir, please, save our town…”
“Old guy, don’t be ungrateful. Your town is a famous terror place far and near. Going to do the mercenary task in your town is at least a five-star major task. You only offer one hundred gold coins. Who would do such a deal!” The mercenary was a big-bearded man. He said viciously to the old man.
“This one hundred gold coins is already the most our village can offer…” The old man said with a sad face.
“One hundred gold coins to make us risk our lives? Do you really think we are fools?” Another magic tutor walked out, saying with a face full of disgust. “Get out of here quickly. Let me tell you, no one will accept your task!”
The bearded mercenary also said sinisterly: “If I see you here again, watch out or I’ll be rude to you.” While saying this, he raised his fist as if preparing to come over and hit again.
The old man was startled, and his body subconsciously shrank back.
This scene made Ye Chui and the others somewhat unable to stand it. Guni even silently took out the Fire Ant Greatsword from her back and walked towards that bearded mercenary.
Lesa hurriedly pulled Guni back.
The bearded mercenary looked Guni up and down, sneering on his face: “Little girl, where did you get such a strange sword? If you want to imitate the style of a great swordsman, at least find a decent sword.”
The Fire Ant Greatsword was entirely fiery red. Its texture was not like ordinary steel. It could fool ordinary people, but in the eyes of sword experts, it looked very “fake”. It was impossible to sense that this sword was a heavy greatsword. Moreover, Guni was holding it with one hand. How much strength could a little girl have? They had seen great swordsmen before, but most great swordsmen held swords with both hands. They had never seen one like Guni.
Hearing the words of this bearded mercenary, Guni became even angrier. However, she also knew it was not good to fight directly. But to say her sword was fake? She held the greatsword upside down with one hand. The sword tip was only two centimeters from the bluestone ground. However, as Guni let go, with a hiss, one end of the greatsword immediately inserted two inches into the ground. Although the sword did not have much edge, the sword tip was extremely sharp. When inserted into the stone, there were not even cracks around.
The bearded mercenary and that magic tutor immediately showed extremely surprised looks. The weight of this sword was not lighter than an iron sword of the same amount. It probably weighed nearly two hundred pounds. This little girl could really use such a heavy sword with one hand!
Such a great swordsman, they had never heard of… No, the two exchanged glances and suddenly thought of the group that had been making a big fuss recently. It was said that among them was a petite girl who could use a super greatsword with monstrous strength. Could it be…
Their eyes swept over Ye Chui and the others again. Ye Chui and the others had guild totems on them, but they were unfamiliar patterns that they did not recognize. However, the appearances of these people still corresponded one by one with the rumored people.
The bearded mercenary’s mouth trembled slightly: “You, you are…”
“Whatever Name Magic Guild.” Ye Chui answered with a smile.
The bearded mercenary and the magic tutor immediately trembled, and the arrogance on their faces turned into an expression of wanting to kneel and lick… Ye Chui and their current reputation had a very deterrent effect!
“So it’s President Ye Chui. I didn’t expect you to appear in Ganglu City, hahaha—” The bearded mercenary immediately walked towards Ye Chui with a face full of smiles, looking like he wanted to curry favor.
But Ye Chui turned around indifferently and looked at the old man who was full of surprised expression: “Old sir, are you alright?”
“My old bones are fine…” The old man stared at Ye Chui with his mouth agape, then looked at the others. He did not know who they were, but from the bearded mercenary’s words, he knew these were some very powerful people. He said somewhat fearfully, “Sirs, can you save our town?”
“What happened to your town?” Debbie asked curiously.
The bearded mercenary glared at the old man with a face full of disgust and quickly said to Debbie: “You must be that little princess of the Anduin family, Miss Debbie? Don’t pay attention to this old man. A terrifying killer named ‘Demon Joker’ has appeared in their town recently. That’s a tricky guy!”
“Demon Joker!?” Ye Chui and the others were stunned at the same time.
Again… Joker?
