Chapter 1 The Easiest Place to Get Information

The second day after arriving in the royal city, Lin En went straight to the Adventurers' Guild. It was the easiest place to obtain information.

Looking at the bustling hall, Lin En curiously walked over to the task board and started looking at it.

To Lin En's surprise, the highest-level task was to kill a legendary-level dragon, apparently a reward issued by the kingdom, open to anyone.

Did this dragon kidnap the princess? Lin En thought with some dark humor.

...

In the following days, Lin En went to the Adventurers' Guild for two or three hours every day to learn about the latest information, and then went to the magic guild's rented practice room to cultivate. After all, this world had ninth-level existences, although the number might not be large.

Time passed day by day. Lin En noticed that many tasks related to demons had appeared on the task board of the Adventurers' Guild. Hmm, wasn't this world currently being invaded by demons?

Time flew by, and Lin En had been in the royal city for half a year. He had become familiar with the people in the Adventurers' Guild.

Sitting on a chair, Lin En slowly ate his breakfast, feeling speechless as he looked at the person sitting opposite him.

Lin En: "If you have something to say, then say it. If you have to fart, then fart. How am I supposed to eat properly with you staring at me like this?"

"Lord Lin En, you eat yours, just look at me, don't mind me."

Lin En...

Forget it, I've lost my appetite.

"Remi, don't you have anything to do? Why aren't you going to the magic academy? Why do you keep looking for me?"

Lin En said helplessly.

Remi: "I want to take you as my teacher, Lord Lin En."

Lin En's face turned numb: "Why do you want to take me as your teacher? I'm clearly the same age as you, how can I teach you?"

"You're a genius. So many teachers at the academy want you. Anyone you find would be stronger than me, right?"

Lin En couldn't understand why this kid was so persistent. He had been pestering him for a whole month.

e=(´o｀*))) Sigh

Remi looked at Lin En and recalled the scene from that day.

That day, he had accepted a task from the Adventurers' Guild to collect water lotuses in the Water Marsh Forest. On the way back, he saw a scene he would never forget in his life. It was also the first time he saw Lord Lin En.

To his surprise, he saw this lord again at the Adventurers' Guild the next day. After figuring out some of Lord Lin En's personality, he began to pester Lord Lin En, wanting him to accept him as a disciple.

"No! No teacher in the academy can compare to Lord Lin En! Even the legendary-level dean is not as good!"

Remi shouted excitedly.

Crap, Remi's voice was a bit loud. People definitely heard that.

Sure enough, a voice soon rang out.

"I want to see who is so amazing that they dare to look down on our academy!"

Several people in uniform walked over, then saw Remi and Lin En sitting together.

The group didn't expect Remi to be here too, but Remi was also a member of the academy, so he definitely didn't say it. That meant it was the other person.

They all looked at Lin En and realized they didn't recognize him at all. You had to know that in the royal city, families with some background would send their heirs to the academy in order to make connections.

They didn't recognize this guy. He was probably just a nobody. How dare someone like that slander the academy? Was he courting death?

"Was it you who said that our academy's teachers are not as good as someone? And you even dared to slander the dean?"

"Kid, say those words again if you dare, and let us hear them."

The group stared at Lin En. If Lin En really dared to say it, they would dare to beat him half to death.

Lin En glanced at his breakfast. He never expected so many things to happen just while eating. Was today not a good day to go out?

Should he just go home and be a salted fish?

Lin En was still daydreaming. Remi's face immediately darkened.

Then, with a dark face and no expression, he shouted: "No! No teacher in the academy can compare to Lord Lin En! Even the legendary-level dean is not as good!"

"I said it, so what! Is there a problem with that!"

Not hearing Lin En speak, Remi shouted instead. The group immediately became confused. What was going on? Why would Remi say that?

You had to know that many teachers in the academy wanted to take Remi as their disciple. If the teachers heard these words, who would want him? Even if you had great talent, even if you were a prince, but... but... uh.

The group silently exchanged glances, then left with ugly expressions.

Remi carefully looked at Lin En and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his expression was normal.

Lin En suddenly looked at Remi, then asked with a smile, "Remi, why do you want to take me as your teacher? I think you better explain it to me clearly."

"You have to know that I am a person who hates trouble, and you are a source of trouble."

Remi's face immediately turned pale when he heard this, and he quickly said, "No, Lord Lin En, let me explain. It's because I witnessed your battle, and then you casually erased a group of high-level magic beasts from existence. I knew that you must be a hidden master, so I wanted to take you as my teacher."

After hearing Remi's words, Lin En immediately remembered. It seemed like a month ago, he had broken through to the ninth level, and then he ran to the wilderness to test his power. At that time, he did sense someone spying on him. So it was this kid.

No wonder this kid kept pestering me when he saw me at the Adventurers' Guild. So that's how it was.

Looking at Remi, Lin En gently shook his head and said, "You and I have no teacher-student fate, so I will not accept you as a disciple. Moreover, I will be leaving this place in another half a year. Even if you take me as your teacher, you won't learn anything."

"So don't waste your time on me anymore. It will waste your own talent."

Looking at the disappointed Remi, Lin En secretly complained. Whether this world could survive the end-of-the-world disaster was still up in the air.

Sure enough, Lin En didn't see Remi for several days after that day.

He really wasn't used to it for a moment. What the heck.

Another two months passed.

Lin En, who was currently slacking off, suddenly felt a terrifying aura that scared him so much that he jumped up.

Damn it, Lin En immediately jumped onto the roof and found a huge black crack in the sky, with black aura constantly flowing out of the crack.

Looking at the crack in the sky, Lin En narrowed his eyes. This aura was very familiar. Hmm... Damn it, wasn't this the aura of demons?

Lin En immediately recalled the two demon leaders he had killed in the underground cave, as well as the teleportation array during the demon invasion. The aura emitted from them was the same, with a strong sulfuric acid smell.

Damn it, was this world about to be invaded by demons?
