Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 188 The Expelled Adventurer

“Whenever a world is healthy, these world consciousnesses will not appear in the material space in an objective form.”

"So the Athena you saw, who looked exactly like me, was also the world consciousness of a broken world."

Athena expressed her guess.

Hearing this, Jonathan asked in confusion, "If she is also a world consciousness, then why is she different from you? She seems to have no memory of these things at all."

"And she can't even see the dimensional world."

After Jonathan finished speaking, Athena was stunned, then turned to look at Jonathan and asked, "Are you sure she can't see the dimensional world?"

Jonathan nodded.

"Then her world should have died. As the world consciousness, she is the last trace of her world's existence."

"Because the world is dead, her memory will also disappear. After that, when the power of the world in her body completely disappears, she will return to being an ordinary person and die."

"This means that the world she once lived in has disappeared, even the last trace of its existence."

"And as an ownerless world consciousness, she will be rejected by other worlds. This is why she cannot see the dimensional world." Athena continued.

"I see." Upon hearing this, Jonathan sighed.

"Then is there anything we can do to help her?" Jonathan continued to ask.

Although he has learned that the other Athena has nothing to do with his own Athena, he can't resist the fact that Athena is so cute.

Athena looked at Jonathan meaningfully.

"What are you looking at? I just saw that she looks like you and wanted to help her."

Stare~~
Athena continued to stare at Jonathan.

Jonathan couldn't stand her stare.

"Hurry up and tell me, stop making trouble." Seeing Athena's aggressive look, Jonathan hit her little head with a chisel.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Athena covered her little head and looked at Jonathan a little unhappily.

"Okay, okay! Stop hitting me!" Seeing that Jonathan still wanted to attack, Athena quickly covered her head and ran away.

After making sure that Jonathan did not continue to pursue her, she stopped and said.

"Of course there is a way. As long as there is a world willing to accept her, it will be fine. Just like in a pantheon, in addition to the main god, there will be other subordinate gods."

"As long as we make that Athena a subordinate god of the dimensional world, we can avoid her fate of extinction."

"It's really meaningless, Jonathan. Sometimes, it's a blessing to be able to experience life, old age, sickness and death like an ordinary person."

Athena showed a serious look. She felt that even if another Athena became the goddess of the dimensional world, it would be meaningless.

"It's not something to be happy about for her to recall the pain she once suffered."

“As a world consciousness, witnessing one’s own world going to destruction is an extremely cruel thing, just like a human soul witnessing one’s own life coming to an end.”

"So, Jonathan. I really don't recommend you do this."

Hearing this, Jonathan was also stunned. He really hadn't thought about this.

After a moment of silence, Jonathan left the spot without saying anything.

Athena felt sad as she looked at his somewhat lonely back.

But it is true that letting the other Athena live out her life simply is the best outcome for her.

Passing through the dimensional gate, Jonathan returned to the small cave where Athena lived.

Inside the portable house, on the bed in the bedroom, Athena had a peaceful look on her face and was sleeping quietly.

Jonathan didn't disturb her and closed the door gently.

I went back outside and spent the night like that.

The next day, a message came from the communicator in Jonathan's hand.

It was sent by the Adventurer's Guild.

"Mr. Jonathan, the basic magic books you ordered have been delivered to our branch. When do you think you can come and pick them up?"

Judging from the tone, this isn't a message from that guy Gale.

Most likely it’s the lady at the counter.

"Athena, I'm leaving for a while. Please wait for me at home."

Hearing this, Athena nodded obediently, and continued to gnaw on the bag of beef jerky that Jonathan gave her yesterday.

Jonathan discovered that it seemed that both Athenas were particularly addicted to a certain kind of food.

After shaking his head to drive the strange thoughts out of his mind, Jonathan left the cave.

Following yesterday's path, we arrived at the Adventurer's Guild.

I pushed open the door and saw that the guild was just as noisy today as it was yesterday.

As soon as Jonathan came in, the noisy guild suddenly became much quieter.

Many people looked at him without saying a word.

Jonathan impressed a large portion of them yesterday.

"Mr. Jonathan, please come with me." Seeing Jonathan coming in, a girl at the counter ran out and made a gesture of invitation to Jonathan.

Then he took him to the room where the negotiations took place yesterday.

"Where is your president?" Jonathan asked.

"The president has something to do today and is not in the branch. So I will entertain you today." After saying that, the young lady bent her body and pulled her collar.

Jonathan took a look and saw at least a D.

"Mr. Jonathan, here are the books you ordered." After saying that, the young lady pushed three thick books in front of Jonathan.

"Introduction to All Types of Magic", "Introduction to Dark Magic", "Introduction to Light Magic".

"Mr. Jonathan, these are books that have been adjusted by our guild's magicians. In theory, they are suitable for learning by any creature in the world outside the world without magic."

"Do you have any other questions?"

After saying that, the young lady adjusted her black-framed glasses and said.

Jonathan picked up "Introduction to Dark Magic" and flipped through a few pages.

Very good, he could understand each word individually, but he had no idea what they meant when put together.

But this problem is easy to solve.

So he simply took out a piece of gold and threw it to the other party.

"I'll take the things." After saying that, Jonathan stood up and put the three magic books into the space bracelet.

Then walked outside.

"Wait, Mr. Jonathan. I also want to talk to you about the transaction of the space bracelet yesterday."

Obviously, the lady at the counter is also an ambitious person. As long as she can make this deal, there will definitely be a lot of benefits.

But obviously, Gail's slightly anxious attitude yesterday aroused Jonathan's vigilance, so he would not easily sell the space bracelet to the Adventurer's Guild.

Even if you want to sell it, you have to ask Bulma to add anti-cracking function to the bracelet before selling it.

"Let's talk about this later. How is my commission from yesterday? I'm in a hurry to go to Duskwood now." Jonathan asked. The lady at the counter shook her head and said, "No one has taken on this task yet, because Duskwood is too dangerous at night."

"Most adventurers don't have the strength to go there."

"As for the capable adventurers, I checked yesterday and it seems that all of them are on missions."

Jonathan was helpless about this situation. After all, he didn't need protection, he just needed a guide.

I didn't expect that no one would take over.

"Have I made my conditions clear? I just need a guide, not an escort," Jonathan asked.

"Yes, Mr. Jonathan. We are the one who posted the guide mission. Unfortunately, no adventurer dares to take this mission." The young lady bowed again apologetically.

A piece of snow-white was revealed.

It can be seen that the young lady is also a hard-working and motivated person.

Unfortunately, Jonathan is now more or less immune to sugar-coated bullets.

In the past, you might eat the sugar coating and return the shell.

Now there is no need to even add sugar coating.

"Okay, then let's keep the task pending. Notify me when there's any news." After saying that, Jonathan pushed open the door of the small room.

Arrived at the guild hall.

Just like when he came in, most of the adventurers' eyes were on him.

Jonathan was used to big scenes, so he didn't care about just a few glances.

"Sir, was it you who sent out the commission for Duskwood?"

Suddenly, a girl with short red hair, short stature, but wearing leather armor and carrying a huge sword on her back blocked Jonathan's way.

Jonathan looked at the girl who was almost two heads shorter than him and said, "I am. What's wrong? Do you want to take on the commission?"

Jonathan asked, looking at the female adventurer.

"That's right! I want to take on your mission!" Leia said, patting her barren little chest.

"I was just informed by the guild staff that no one is willing to take this task. What's your situation?"

Jonathan asked, crossing his hands.

"Well, there must be a reason. After all, you hired a guide, and we are a team. So I wanted to ask if you are willing to increase the remuneration."

After saying that, Leia touched her head and twisted her body in place a little embarrassedly.

Jonathan: “…”

"Okay, I can double the reward. Wait a minute, I'll go to the registration office to change the amount of the reward." After saying that, Jonathan turned around and prepared to find the counter girl.

"Wait! Sir. Don't bother with that. Just give me the fee directly. Without the middleman making a profit, we can make more money and you can enjoy better service."

After saying that, Leia gave Jonathan a smiley face.

Everyone else in the hall looked at the scene coldly, and no one came forward to remind them.

But Jonathan instinctively felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

It’s like when you are doing a transaction on Xianyu, and the seller suddenly says that Xianyu is a middleman who makes a profit from the price difference, so he directly asks you to transfer the money into his account and then ships the goods to you.

"Mr. Jonathan! Don't believe her! They are adventurers who have been stripped of their adventurer qualifications! They are not qualified to undertake missions!"

The lady at the counter just came out of the room and saw Leia who stopped Jonathan, and she thought something was wrong.

So she hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Remove the adventurer's qualifications? Is this still possible?" Jonathan sighed.

It was the first time he knew about such an operation.

"Yes, sir. If an adventurer receives too many complaints from customers, our guild will cancel the adventurer's qualifications." The lady at the counter said with a smile.

Then he turned to Leia, and his face instantly turned cold.

"What are you still doing here! You have been stripped of your adventurer qualifications! So you no longer have the right to enter the guild, please get out immediately!"

After hearing the young lady's cold words, Leia was very unwilling and angry, but what she said was the truth after all.

So he could only look at Jonathan with some reluctance, then turned around and left the Adventurer's Guild reluctantly.

The young lady heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Leia leave obediently.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jonathan. These are all our faults. Please forgive us."

After saying that, the young lady bowed deeply to Jonathan again, deliberately revealing her snow-white face.

To be honest, if the girl didn't look so ugly, Jonathan would have been a little moved.

All I can say is that in terms of shape and texture, there is nothing impeccable about the young lady's snow-white hair, but her appearance really does not meet Jonathan's aesthetic standards.

With the young lady's waist bent to 90 degrees, Jonathan left the Adventurer's Guild.

At the door, he was in no hurry to leave.

Instead, he looked around, and sure enough, he saw Leia in a corner.

Besides her, there were three other female adventurers in the corner.

Jonathan walked over with a little curiosity.

He was really curious about why these people were complained by their employers.

"Huh? Why did you follow me?" After seeing Jonathan, Leia was a little surprised. She thought that after Jonathan listened to the lady at the counter, he would never hire them again.

But she didn't expect him to follow her.

"This, um, Mr. Jonathan. Are you going to hire us?" Leia looked at Jonathan with anticipation in her eyes.

Hearing this, the other three women also looked at Jonathan with expectant eyes.

Jonathan felt a little weird being stared at by four beautiful girls.

"Well, not necessarily. It depends on how you answer the questions that come next." Jonathan had this idea.

After all, other adventurers are unwilling to take this mission.

But he still had to find out why these girls were expelled from the Adventurer's Guild.

"Wait a moment, let's go to another place to chat."

Of course, Jonathan couldn't ask questions in this world.

After all, he couldn't use telepathy here.

So he took the four people directly back to the door of the Adventurer's Guild, and then to the dimensional gate.

"Let's go." Jonathan turned around and said to the four people.

The four of them were a little confused and didn't understand what Jonathan meant.

"Well, Mr. Jonathan, didn't I just say it? We are not allowed to enter the Adventurer's Guild." Leia looked at Jonathan with some suspicion.

I thought this man might be trying to trick them.
