New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 55 Established Route

From Ronnies's perspective, she probably didn't experience too many mentally draining things after the defeat of the Brave Team.

To be precise, the last time I saw her, she was still in a pretty good condition.

The key point was the meeting yesterday. Pressing too many remote controls in one breath seemed to cause her spirit to collapse all at once. At least her mental defense became as fragile as thin paper. As soon as Lei Ye used a little gentle means, she declared defeat and surrendered.

She trembled, but without hesitation, she used her magic to write her name on Lei Ye's contract book, stroke by stroke.

The contract is reached.

At this moment, Lei Ye had an indescribable pleasure. He clearly felt that the girl's soul had belonged to him. At this moment, she was no longer Ronnies but Lei Ye's property. Unlike the slave mark, this contract would not end even after Ronnies's death.

In addition to the pleasure, Lei Ye also had an inexplicable uneasiness. Recalling himself not long ago, he felt a little strange. At least the previous Lei Ye could not have done something like taking advantage of the girl's weakness to trick her into handing over her soul, even if the other party was that rotten Ronnies.

Forget it, there's no need to dwell on the past.

At least now, he no longer needs to worry about the authenticity of the information provided by Ronis. She has no right to lie in front of the Soul Master.

Lei Ye stood up with a refreshed look on his face, and Ronnies, who had lost her support, collapsed on the small bed.

He swung the sword in his hand.

"Holy Sword, do you recognize this thing?"

Sensing that a certain atmosphere had suddenly disappeared, Ronnies lowered her head, and the hand that had signed the document fell down dejectedly.

"Yes, this sword was awarded to the brave man by the king five years ago. I don't know much about it, and your understanding of it is about the same."

As for Lei Ye’s understanding of this holy sword, it can only be said that he knows nothing.

He once saw a brave man holding this sword, and a large amount of golden light emerged. He thought it must be some powerful skill. Moreover, the fighting power of a brave man with a sword and a brave man without a sword is not the same at all. It can also be seen that this sword has attribute corrections.

During the days he held this holy sword, not only did he not see any attribute correction, he didn't even see any light.

So this sword may have some kind of "recognition" mechanism, such as only recognizing brave men as its wielders.

"Replenish."

After thinking about it, Lei Ye didn't know how to continue asking, so he could only let Ronis supplement herself.

"The Holy Sword should have appeared five years ago. I can't be sure. At least when I was still in the Royal City, I had never seen or heard of this sword. It was not in the Royal City's inventory."

"Just like the hero," Ronis recalled slowly, "the so-called hero was just a villager selected temporarily. That hero was a very talented young man I selected from several nearby villages. I didn't expect that the Holy Sword would really recognize him later."

Lei Ye was silent.

He suddenly realized that this was different from the background story he knew. The so-called hero should not be a local, but a time traveler from another world. This was clearly written in the historical anthology.

So this hero is nothing but a genius. Of course, he is indeed a genius. Over the past five years, Lei Ye has seen him grow from a newcomer to a strong man who can stand on his own at an exaggerated speed. He has been making great progress all the way and is no different from any hero in the bard's story, until he stepped onto the final stage, where he faced the final BOSS Buyadi. This genius was beaten with snot in his mouth and ran away crying.

Haven't run yet.

As for this holy sword, its origin is also a bit questionable.

However, if even Ronis doesn’t know its origin, then Lei Ye really has no way to do anything.

"You said that it was you who selected the brave man, right? That means that person didn't have the holy sword at the beginning. Before that, had you seen that sword?" Lei Ye continued to ask.

"Yes."

"In whose hands?"

".king."

And it was brought to the king.

Lei Ye had only met the king a few times and didn't have a good impression of the old man.

The first time they met was in the royal city. It was when Lei Ye had just traveled to this world. When he woke up, he saw himself being looked at by the old king with an identification mirror (he later learned that it was an identification mirror). When the old king put down the identification mirror, he shook his head like a bad teacher who tried hard to pretend to be kind but secretly looked down on the poor students in the class, and then drove Lei Ye out of the royal city.

Later, as a member of the brave team, he occasionally met the old king, and every time, the old king did not give Lei Ye a good look.

Lei Ye didn't treat the king well either. Every time he went to the royal city, he would say his stomach ached and go to the toilet, and then he wouldn't flush.

He recalled that person and sighed deeply.

In other words, if we want to conduct a deeper investigation into the matter of this holy sword, do we have to go back to the Frey Empire and find the old king?
Lei Ye tried to tap the hilt of the holy sword one last time without giving up, but it really didn't respond at all.

".Xiaosheng, I'll give you one last chance. If you don't say anything, I'll hit you on the hilt of my sword for the next month. Speak!"

He began to threaten the sword.

But there was still no response, and Ronnie's face was full of strangeness and fear.

Before, Lei Ye always had a vague feeling that this sword had a sword spirit.

But now it seems that it is similar.

Alas, I still don’t want to go back to the Frey Empire, but now the information seems to be only available there. What should I do?

Lei Ye stood up helplessly and walked out of the basement with Ronis.

After signing the book of contract, Lei Ye lost all interest in torturing Ronis and felt like he had entered sage time.

So he left her to Lestar.

This personal maid probably seemed a little strange because they changed the way they first met and were not able to be together from the beginning. She has not been "close" to him in this round and she also has some fear towards Lei Ye.

When facing Lei Ye, Lesta couldn't speak clearly.

Lei Ye increasingly understood that time is infinite, but also limited. In the real timeline, if he wants to accomplish something, he must give up the opportunity to do something else. If he wants to get along well with someone, he must give up the opportunity to become intimate with that other person.

This time, he did not pat Lesda's shoulder.

If everything goes well, let's build up a good relationship in the next round.

When passing by the living room, I ran into Galatini who came over again.

Somehow, this little thing got mixed up with Kun-Lai and came in front of Lei Ye. She stood at attention and spoke slowly in a slightly louder voice.

"Glatini heard that if she becomes a Thunder Guard, she will have delicious food. Galatinni decided to become a Thunder Guard!"

No, little sister, if you want to eat something, just tell me, why does it have this smell?

Lei Ye looked at Kun-Lai speechlessly. That guy seemed very proud.

"Glatini is the No. 2 Thunder Guard! And this one is the No. 3 Thunder Guard!"

The person that Galatini was referring to was probably Eljiejie who was running around on the ground.

Then each of my Thunder Guards is really heavyweight.

Someone came quietly behind Lei Ye. Lei Ye looked back and saw Miss Yuna, who looked a little unnatural.

"It was Lady Buyadi who entrusted me to train this Kun-Lai lady. As for Lady Galatini and the other one, they were probably just playing around." She explained softly with a little embarrassment.

Fine.

Buyadi probably wanted to train Kun-Lai to be a close attendant like Yuna. As for the other two children, one was simply greedy and the other was simply mentally retarded.

Just treat it as a joke.

He took out lunch boxes and snacks of various sizes and piled them in front of Galatini little by little until they formed a small mountain.

"Wow, wow, wow, Galatini, we're rich." The blue-haired kid cheered in surprise.

Seeing her so happy, Lei Ye once again felt the inner peace he hadn't felt for a long time.

He patted Galatini's little head and walked out the door.

Magic Castle.

Lei Ye returned here alone from the wormhole. Based on his current experience, Grady was the smartest person he had met in Scorched Earth, and he wanted to discuss things with this person first.

When he found Greti, she was still in the studio, trying to perfect the armor. There was a little fatigue on her face, but her hands were not slow. Lei Ye felt the same way about her state, which was the excitement of completing a great work.

However, when she saw Lei Ye, she breathed a sigh of relief, put down what she was holding, and greeted him.

"You came."

Lei Ye sat directly opposite her and first looked at the armor on the workbench.

I don't understand. Grady's ability to make magic items is several levels higher than his. This armor has become something advanced that she can't understand at all.

If you don’t understand, don’t look at it. Lei Ye just put the holy sword on it.

"Stop for a moment, do me a favor and help me check if there is anything wrong with this thing."

Grady just glanced at it and continued to fiddle with the armor in his hand with a lack of interest.

"This sword is not a magic item, but rather a divine weapon from somewhere. The so-called divine weapons are objects that cannot be modified or destroyed. Some divine weapons need to be approved before they can be used, otherwise they are just scrap metal. I don't feel any fluctuations of magic power on it, so it's probably some scrapped divine weapon. I heard that Lord Buyadi killed a hero a while ago. Did you get it from that hero?"

As expected of Miss Grady, she figured out everything with just one glance.

But it also indirectly proved that this holy sword was indeed scrapped.

Let's go in another direction.

"Remember the inherent skill I told you about before?"

"I know. Let's go back." Grady paused and put down the things in her hand. "Speaking of which, ever since I learned about your skill, I have been feeling uneasy. I wonder if you will do something strange in a world I don't know about?"

She glanced at Lei Ye suspiciously, "At least, you didn't do anything weird to me."

".No."

I had thought about giving a little tutorial on Grady's workbench before, but fortunately I didn't have any practical experience.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to keep a straight face.

"I want to discuss this skill with you. For example, if it were you, and you didn't want the things you experienced in this round to disappear, is there any way to preserve the memories?" Lei Ye asked.

Grady paused slightly, with a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, she shook her head. "If I understand your skills correctly, the so-called rewind will erase everything that has happened, right? Then, whether you write down what you have experienced in a notebook or record it in a mirage crystal, it will be meaningless. And probably no magic item can do something similar, because any attempt and effort to retain the memory will also disappear."

"The only way is probably to ask the rewinder, that is, you, to bring back the memories of the previous round and play them for me through the Vision Crystal."

she added.

So Lei Ye thought about it, took out the illusion crystal, and played the scene of their first meeting for her.

"Oh my god!" he exclaimed, and quickly skipped the scene of the lotus emerging from the fish pond, and went directly to the meeting with Grady sitting on the high platform.

A conversation between two people, one above and one below.

Discussion caused by small air conditioner.

A radio as a gift for a first meeting.

These scenes happened not too long ago for Lei Ye, but they made Greti frown frequently, and finally she even showed a somewhat painful expression.

"It turns out that this skill is not based on a discussion of an ideal state, but actually exists. This is so cheating. No wonder you acted like you knew me at the beginning, because you really knew me, but I didn't remember."

She took a deep breath and took a moment to calm herself down. When she spoke again, she was completely calm.

"This method doesn't seem to work. Although I can confirm that the person is me, I still have the illusion that I am looking at someone else because I have never experienced it. At least, I can't empathize with the feelings at that time, and I even feel a little disgusted. So, even if I use this method, I can't inherit the memories."

".I see."

It turns out that it doesn’t work.

On the one hand, even if he used this method, the only person he could rely on was Buyadi, but that would be meaningless.

On the other hand, it is indeed impossible to use the illusion crystal to make another person have a similar "rewind" effect.

"Report." Buyadi's voice suddenly came from his pocket.

"Report." Lei Ye replied.

This scene immediately perked up Grady. She leaned forward slightly and raised her eyebrows inquiringly.

"Are you and Lady Buyadi really that kind of relationship?"

Lei Ye subconsciously wanted to say, "Not yet."

Because there has never been a clear confession between the two of them. To be precise, there has been one confession, but before he could respond, he was stopped by the confessor.

But apart from that clear confession, the relationship has basically been confirmed, it's just a matter of procedures.

So he nodded.

He was very calm when he nodded, and he was also very calm when facing Gretty's starry eyes after eating a big melon. He always felt that he was half forced before, so he was always resistant deep down in his heart, but after giving up resistance and choosing to obey, he felt comfortable instead. He even began to look forward to losing his virginity.

The prerequisite is to get back the ability to go back to the previous state first, otherwise you will be repeatedly beaten to death by the crazy Buyadi, and you won’t even know the outcome.

He couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't remember experiencing such a wonderful thing.

So he slapped ten big gold coins on the table and lined them up.

"What are you doing? Mr. Lei Ye, you're too polite." Seeing the money, Grady's expression instantly became serious.

"Rent," Lei Ye said, "I need to rent a griffin. I may be back soon. I may contact you again when I need to come back. As for the return trip, you can pay it when I come back."

"You want to leave the scorched earth alone?" Grady was stunned.

"Well, I'm going to the Frey Empire."

He was certain that the eight Lei Ye before had already made similar attempts on Scorched Earth's side, and even tricked Ronis into signing a contract like they did just now, and talked to Grady like they did now.

I can only take a gamble and do something that Lei Ye probably hasn't investigated before.

Return to the Frey Empire, go to the royal city, and use your identity as the only survivor of the brave team to obtain additional information about the holy sword.

However, there may only be this one chance, because once you die there, Buyadhi will definitely go back to the game without hesitation, and in the next save, Buyadhi will definitely question the next Lei Ye, and that Lei Ye will definitely be confused at first, and then be hung up or hung in the sky.

Never mind, that's pretty good.

But there is still a problem to be solved.

How can he convince this saved version of Buyad to let him go out alone? You know, Buyad is a little suspicious of him now.
"Hey," Lei Ye raised a finger, "write a love letter to her."

Lei Ye immediately took out a pen and paper, and wrote an 800-word essay with all his might. The content might seem a bit earthy at first glance, but it was probably just right for this demon lady.

After thinking about it, Lei Ye added a sentence at the end -

I like you, Miss Buyadi, please be my girlfriend.

Oh my! This is incredible. If Buyadi receives this, he will be in big trouble next time they meet, regardless of whether he has the ability to retrieve the saved data or not.

He felt quite excited at the thought.

"Please arrange for a maid to help me take her to Yuzu Castle, no... Demon King Castle. It's better not to let her find out too early."

He had just learned this when he saw a maid bringing Galatini here. The maids in the castle could also be responsible for delivering couriers or passing on messages.

He gave the letter to the maid and asked her to help deliver it to the Demon King's Castle.

That is the location of the final battle, the castle that belongs to Buyadi.

Watching the maid walk out the door, Lei Ye felt happier and happier. He knew that this somewhat shabby confession was not a gamble, but a prize.

He finally packed up his things, put the holy sword on his back, and strode out the door.

Many years later, when he finally meets Buyadi again, the brave Lei Ye will recall that distant afternoon when he excitedly wrote a love letter in the studio of Moko Castle. He was still very young at that time. This youth does not refer to age, but to the fact that he had not yet fought with the god of death who lingered for those three days for so long.
