Chapter 108 Luojia Was Led Astray by An Su (Monthly ticket request at month's end!)
In the recovery hall.
All the races stopped their work, their eyes filled with respect tinged with a hint of fear, as they all watched the young man simultaneously.
Having mingled in the Kingdom of Chaos for so many years, they knew well of the kingdom's openness and the flourishing diversity of races, but they had never before seen a creature of his kind.
Dusk descended, painting the ghastly walls with the grandeur of a stage's curtain,
and standing in the center of the stage,
was An Su Moningsta.
He lifted his left hand slightly, like a proud conductor, drawing out rhythms and keeping the beat, his bluish-green eyes overlooking everything,
as if he was not standing in the dirty and cramped recovery hall, but in the music palace of the chaotic capital, playing a melody solely his own, his voice light as he began, the epitome of high art.
Oddly enough, the young man exuded a sort of divine radiance.
He had entered a critical rhythm.
As he played the climax, the tempo accelerated, his movements becoming more forceful and expressive; the notes did not just resonate on a sensory level, they were an artistic critique that reached straight to the soul,
stripping away the audience's fragility line by line, bringing forth the most wondrous musical feast.
At times soothing, at times passionate.
At times a fusion of yin and yang, at times a forthright outpouring of the soul.
For different listeners, he healed with different answers, played different movements.
This was true order, An Su made everyone equally, orderly chaotic, equally attacking everyone.
"I am a virtuous knight," An Su said to Luojia.
Without doubt, he was a noble and upright knight, an all-rounder who did not tarnish the glory of order.
First came the Eisbing Knight.
For the orc suffering from stomach ulcerations and metastatic lesions, An Su pointed out his lifestyle issues very gallantly, gently comforting that it was all trivial, the likelihood of the disease was negligible, nothing to worry about,
In the end, An Su even kindly expressed his human and moral concern for such illnesses, suggesting the orc could kindly die further away, so as not to affect normal people.
The orc was so moved he was nearly in tears, desiring to personally thank Dr. Ansu for his help, he asked An Su's whereabouts and name, intending to bring his brothers to thank An Su warmly,
An Su, adhering to the principle of doing good deeds anonymously, left the name of the next citizen in line.
The healers sitting in the hall looked at An Su with even more fear in their eyes, even feeling that their own work wasn't so hard and troublesome anymore.
Because what they faced were ordinary citizens, but the citizens were facing An Su!
Then came the race knight.
[Fourth Order Dark Elf, Dais]
[Reason for poor rating: Sued by the Food Management Bureau for 'contaminating food' and 'poisoning,' but the Dark Elf claimed it was just a joke with the dwarf and may not have been his poison, could also be his friend's doing; still, he lost the case.]
[Since the prosecutor was a fair-skinned Forest Elf, Dais felt that he suffered unjust treatment and thus appealed to the city government.]
This was the fourth citizen with a poor rating.
As a race with a higher crime rate, they brought sustainable chaos to the kingdom's stability, earning the Dark Elves praise from the Kingdom of Chaos,
With the recent passing of the Dark Elf Protection Act, their status has risen even further,
Minority races began to honor and please the Dark Elves, especially female goblins and dwarves, hoping for intermarriage, even without any responsibilities from the Dark Elves.
While enjoying privileges, the Dark Elves' tensions with other elves intensified.
To better heal this citizen and bridge the gap between the two sides,
An Su shared knowledge with Dyson about the hottest-selling product of the second century; Dyson, moved by emotion, expressed his desire to meet with An Su, who warmly suggested, "When you come, don't wear black clothes; it's dark now, and I can't see very well..."
Of course, as a knight who does good deeds anonymously, An Su flipped through the list of poor reviews and left the name of the fifth citizen.
You will go to hell.
The recovery hall was terrifyingly quiet, all the healers stared at An Su, their faces pale as if the youth before them was a demon playing with the mortal world, every word he uttered seemed like the whisper of the devil.
Such agents of chaos, rather than running for the chaotic parliament, why come here and tangle with their menial level three temporary jobs!
It was Luojia who now found this interesting.
Since stepping into the capital, she could distinctly feel the strange stares around her.
She could also faintly hear many rumors but chose to pretend ignorance.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
For the sake of the Radiant Holy See's dignity,
She had just been enduring it all this time.
An outsider, and especially a commoner in such a position, had to bear these public opinions.
The status of the Holy Maiden was high, but she had no real power.
Yet at this moment, seeing An Su freely expressing opinions, attacking directly, replying delightfully, without any concern or hesitation, Luojia felt the stifled feeling in her heart dissipate.
She couldn't help but feel ashamed for having such thoughts.
As the Holy Maiden of the Radiant Light, she shouldn't take pleasure in attacking others.
But she just couldn't help finding it, quite interesting.
She propped her cheek in her hand, her snow-white eyes fixed on An Su's profile.
"The fifth, it's your turn to try," An Su said, turning his head and smiling at Luojia.
"Ah? I... I can't do it," Luojia waved her hands dismissively.
"It has to be you, the sixth negative comment was made by a woman and to impersonate, it must be a female voice answering."
Only this way, it would match up.
"The fifth citizen comes from the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Chaos, a Vampire Nobility, of course, 30,000 years later, that place should be on the border."
An Su said, "You can look at the reason for the negative review."
Luojia looked down,
[Tier Four Vampire Viscount, Sir John]
[Negative Review Reason: The frontier is the frontier, home only to inferior goblins, dwarves, orcs, dark elves, with poor and substandard blood quality. The blood supply to the imperial capital is scarce, not enough for their Vampire Nobility to consume. He filed a complaint with the blood station, demanding the improvement of the frontier bloodlines, to remove the impurities]
The sound of the magical guided phone rang again on the other side.
That unique and accented voice of the Viscount, rising like a chant, "Lowly frontier people~ Can't you even do the job of replying~"
"How come you haven't died out yet~"
"Do you know who I am?"
This one was even a Hell Knight.
An Su winked at Luojia and handed her the magical guided phone.
The Little Holy Maiden pursed her lips, her fingers pinching the hem of her garment; she was torn and hesitant, the teachings about the morality of Holy Maidens, the codes and rules of saints, echoed repeatedly in her ears. These rules were relentlessly ordering Luojia not to reply.
Not to lose her dignity.
Not to utter comments unworthy of the Radiant upbringing.
"If you keep being silent and don't wish to reply, you'll only end up just like them," An Su gestured towards the other responding Magicians. "This is an opportunity."
Luojia also looked at them,
All of them had expressions empty of emotion, corners of their mouths upturned in a perfect yet lifeless smile, every move they made was gentle and courteous.
Like one living corpse after another.
Did she want to become like this?
Was this the 'Radiance' she was seeking?
Luojia sighed as she took the magical guided phone. On the other end, the noble Viscount's incessant, superiority-laden complaints continued.
Various sounds collided,
The sound of magical guided vehicles in the streets, the noise of passersby walking, the breathing of magical beings, but gradually all sounds disappeared, leaving only her own heartbeat.
Luojia felt her heart beat faster as she watched An Su, watched the youth's pale blue eyes,
"Imperial capital, might be the frontier in 30,000 years."
"Frontier, might have been the imperial capital 30,000 years ago."
"Whether it's 30,000 years later or 30,000 years ago, whether it's the imperial capital or the frontier,"
"Noble people remain noble, vile people remain vile."
Luojia listened to her own heartbeat and crafted her response to the Vampire Nobility, which was also a response to herself,
"Brightness lies in spirit, not in origin."
The Vampire on the other end of the phone paused momentarily.
He really did not expect a frontier person to dare backtalk him.
Does she know who I am?
Luojia glanced at An Su again, who was silently mouthing words to her, implying she should reply like him.
This guy... Luojia frowned.
What surprised and felt alien to her was that she actually repeated after An Su.
She really must have a screw loose in her head.
Ah, whatever!
After all, this is the Nether World, no one outside knows about it!
"I," An Su mouthed.
"I," Luojia echoed.
"Son of a bitch bat."
"Son of a bitch bat... eh?"
— Under the twilight's fading glow, they spoke in unison.
"Come find your frontier granny if you dare."
