"If I have to give a reason, it's because I don't want to see the devastation caused by Antwerp Port due to Zig's stubbornness!" Du Chen stated a reason.
Although Du Chen was a thief, he still had a basic conscience. After a great war, not to mention the devastation and widespread suffering, just think about how many orphans would be left behind because of the war. Du Chen had experienced enough hardships as an orphan in his previous life. Even without the urging of the "Treasure Mirror," he couldn't bear to see countless children fall into the same situation he had faced back then.
So, at this moment, Du Chen's reason was straightforward and honest.
The young girl tilted her head slightly, looking at Du Chen sitting on the edge. Although his entire body was covered in black clothing, his pair of sky-blue eyes were still visible.
Interesting, this person's eyes are actually the same as mine, and his eyes are clear and vibrant, without any pretense. He doesn't seem like he's lying. Even when I used soul-searching technique, I didn't find anything unusual. Could it be that his purpose in saving me is really to avoid witnessing the devastation?
When has there been such a broad-minded person among humans?
"Okay, I 'temporarily' believe your 'clumsy' reason. Now I can clearly tell you that neither me nor my friends want to kill anyone. Today's everything was forced by Zig! As long as I go out and Zig doesn't pursue me, I promise that no one will die in the port of Antwerp!"
As she spoke, a layer of murderous intent appeared on her face, and she did not conceal it at all. It was clearly meant to tell Du Chen that she had hated Zig to the bone. If he released her today, she would be prepared to take revenge on Zig!
But, this girl looked beautiful when she was angry. The most attractive moment was when her eyes . Du Chen smiled croakily and stood up, patting the black clothes on his body and laughed in a disguised voice, "Okay, I'll let you go now! After your seal is released later, Zig will definitely feel it. It's up to you to handle it yourself! I can only help you secretly!"
The girl was stunned for a moment. "You really have the ability to open Zig's divine seal? Besides, you haven't even asked my name before helping me. Are you afraid I'm an evil person?"
I help women without asking for their names!
Evil? Haha, although you speak stubbornly and easily get angry, "The Lotus Treasure Mirror" does not make mistakes. He will not actively prompt me to save an evil person!
Rather than trusting this unfamiliar purple-haired girl, Du Chen trusted "The Lotus Treasure Mirror" more.
"I don't care whether you're an evil person or not. I've saved you and that's settled. Close your eyes. I don't want you to see my means of opening the seal."
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The girl just closed her eyes, but suddenly opened them wide.
"What? Afraid that I'll play tricks on you while you close your eyes?" Du Chen teased.
"Will I be afraid of your tricks? Hmph! I just want to remind you..." The girl hesitated for a moment. "Before you save me, think clearly and don't regret it later because my identity is quite special!"
"What is your identity to me? Is it related to me saving you? Whether you are a princess or a beggar, I will save you. Close your eyes now. Don't try to open your eyes during my process of opening the seal. Otherwise, you will regret it!"
Well, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve. The girl closed her eyes obediently, but her heart sank as soon as she heard the sound of a lock being broken. "You really can break Zig's divine seal!" The girl's heart was stunned, thinking that he really had the ability to break Zig's divine seal! Zig was a tenth-level Legendary fighter god. Could anyone break his seal? What level would this person be?
Another sound of a lock being broken.
The girl's heart leaped up and down in panic. She was too foolish to even suspect that he had ulterior motives. With his ability to break Zig's divine seal, what could he not do? Why did he need to play tricks on her?
When Du Chen's laughter indicated that she could open her eyes, she slowly opened her eyelids. However, she almost fainted. "You, you forced Holy Chain to recognize you as its master!?"
Great ancestors above!
Forcing a third-grade sacred artifact to recognize its master already requires ninth-grade Dou qi. Holy Chain is a ninth-grade sacred artifact! This person was able to force it to recognize them...
Unfathomable, this person's strength is unfathomable!
Du Chen played with the Holy artifact that had turned into a metal ball in his hand, feeling funny. This good deed was worthwhile, as he get a ninth-level Holy artifact.. However, due to the large size of the Holy Chain, even in its metal sphere form, it was slightly larger than the Ram Horn Warhammer, about the size of a cantaloupe, making it inconvenient to hide on her person.
Seeing the girl staring at her in a daze, Du Chen couldn't help but smile. This girl must have been shocked by her methods that surpassed the common knowledge of the Fighter God World.
"Don't stand there in a daze, let's go quickly. Zig will definitely notice the loss of the Holy artifact and come looking for it soon."
"No, my friend should be able to hold him off for a while!" She stretched her muscles and walked gracefully to Du Chen, bowing and saluting. Her attitude was extremely respectful—strength is respected, this is an unshakable truth in the world! Especially if the person in front of them is 'strong' enough to compel a Level Nine Holy artifact to accept its master, then no amount of respect is too much for him..
She respectfully said, "Helen, Brockman pays respects to Your Majesty. Since you have appeared in disguise, Helen dares not inquire about your identity, but may I ask about your Fighter God Level?"
Du Chen smiled faintly, "I have no level!"
This was a true statement, but it took on a different meaning in Helen's ears—yes, someone who can force a ninth-grade sacred artifact to recognize them as its master must far exceed the realm of a Legendary Fighter God. Therefore, the Fighter God's Levels in the mortal world are no longer suitable for him.
A wonderful misunderstanding was born.
"Your Majesty, thank you for saving me, but Helen has one more request. Do you have time to listen?" Helen deeply lowered her head, no longer showing the cold arrogance she displayed when confronting Du Chen earlier. She felt ashamed to ask for help, but her own strength in this lifetime was not enough to accomplish that task, while the 'displayed' strength of Du Chen was more than enough to help her.
"Oh, Miss, are you asking me to listen to a long story at this time and place?" Du Chen shrugged, "Sorry, I'm very busy!"
Helen lifted her head, her sky-blue eyes filled with determination. "Noble and powerful Your Majesty, I understand. Helen is not qualified to ask you for anything. You can propose conditions!"
