Fantasy Library.

Chapter 387 Don't forget, I'm waiting for you.

In the bathroom, where the sound of running water was barely audible, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Unfortunately, this is just a bathtub in the bathroom of a shrine building within the shrine grounds; it's not a bathhouse that can accommodate multiple people at the same time.

After Aize and Luo Hao were soaking in the water together, even when they were sitting face to face, they couldn't avoid their legs touching, their feet touching, and even rubbing against each other a little.

Furthermore, Aize used plain water, not a milk bath or a flower petal bath, and didn't even add any bath salts or foam. This meant that even when the two of them were soaking in the water, they could see everything clearly at a glance.

As a result, Aize's appearance became even more distorted, and even Luo Hao's face inevitably flushed red.

Just as Aize's gaze began to turn aggressive, Luo Hao finally couldn't bear it any longer and spoke up first.

“I watched the entire battle between you and the Great Sage.” Luo Hao tried his best to adopt the posture of a senior and said, “I have to say, your strength is much greater than I imagined. Although you are a little naive in your dealings with others and your way of being a king is not yet mature, in terms of combat, even I, as the King of Martial Arts, cannot find any decent faults.”

"Your powers are immense, and your magical abilities are, for some reason, far surpass my unparalleled strength. Add to that your unique physical body and all sorts of divine artifacts..."

"You were able to defeat Marquis Vauban, which was clearly not by chance, but by sheer strength."

Luo Hao looked at Aize with eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction.

"That's good. As the ruler of my great land of China, I should achieve victory in a fair and square manner, defeat foreign enemies head-on, and demonstrate my greatness and strength."

“Luo Cuilian did not mistake her brother. Your ability to kill the Monkey King and defeat the suddenly appearing Shadow of God and Queen of Darkness has already proven your capabilities.”

"You did not let me down, and I can be proud of you."

For Luo Hao to praise Aize to this extent is truly an unprecedented and rare occurrence, demonstrating just how satisfied Luo Hao is with Aize's performance.

"It's good that we've fulfilled our mission." Aize wasn't flattered by the praise; instead, he said somewhat dismissively, "Now that the curse of the stable boy has been broken and the Japanese heroes who were being raised by the Japanese have been defeated, we've regained the face our country lost, haven't we?"

“Of course.” Luo Hao nodded and smiled. “I have ordered Ying’er to spread the word about your great achievements, so that people throughout the martial arts world and even the whole world can admire your glory.”

"Now, the whole of China knows that after me, another unparalleled king has emerged in our country."

“My dear brother, if you are willing, why not come back? I will make you the vice leader of the Five Prisons Holy Sect. If you want to establish your own sect, I will also have the entire martial arts world give you their full support so that you can ascend the throne.”

Upon hearing this, Aize hesitated.

He didn't care about the throne, but he did want to go back to his hometown and see that land again.

Since becoming the librarian of the Fantasy Library, he has almost never returned to his homeland. The only exception was when he was in the world of High School DxD, when he was traveling all over the world with Kuroka and Asia, he once went back to his homeland in that world, but the trip was short.

After that, Aize stayed in the world of Death for several decades, which meant he hadn't returned to his hometown for decades.

To be honest, he really wanted to go back and visit.

However, after thinking it over carefully, Aize still shook his head.

"I will definitely go back to visit my homeland if I have the chance, but not now."

Aize's words made Luo Hao frown.

"Why? Do you have some attachment to this land?" Luo Hao said with some dissatisfaction, "This tiny place is nothing compared to my vast and resource-rich Central Plains."

“If you come back, my brother and I can take control of the entire martial arts world together. You can also come to Mount Lu to keep me company.”

"At that time, you and I, brother and sister, can spar with each other, chat about the world, live a carefree life, and live in seclusion. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Are you sure this is the kind of life siblings should be living?
It sounds like a young couple living their lives together...

Aize rolled his eyes at Luo Hao, then revealed his plan.

"Sister Cuilian has already traveled the world and her footprints have covered the entire globe. She has seen through the vanities of the world and naturally feels that living in seclusion in the mountains is a kind of pleasure. But I haven't traveled all over the world yet and haven't seen all the countries. There are many things I want to experience."

"I also want to find the rebellious gods that are sealed or descended around the world, and I want to fight against the gods in various mythologies."

"I also want to see what's so special about the mystical forces in various countries, and I'm interested in the various deities left behind in this world."

"Therefore, I do not want to live in seclusion for the time being, nor do I have any intention of settling down anywhere and becoming idle."

These words made Luo Hao's furrowed brows relax.

“That’s true. You’re still young, and you really shouldn’t live a secluded life like me.” Luo Hao’s gaze softened as he looked at Aize, and his voice became gentle as he said, “It’s good this way. Going out and seeing the world, going out and exploring, will help broaden your horizons and temper your mind.”

"To me, the mortal world is like a dream, and life is like rain. This dream has ended, and the rain has passed. Naturally, there is nothing worth clinging to."

"But you are different. You still need to be tempered and experience the grudges and affections of the world. Only in this way can you see through the illusions and eventually achieve enlightenment."

Luo Hao stood up, displaying her stunningly beautiful body to Aize. "Since that's the case, then do as you wish."

"Whenever you get tired of looking around, have explored everything, and want to come back, come visit your sister in Lushan."

"Don't forget, on that homeland, I, Luo Cuilian, am waiting for you."

After leaving these words, the stunningly beautiful, naked fairy vanished before Aize's eyes, like dissipating rain and mist, leaving no trace.

“…I will remember that, Sister Cuilian.”

Aize gazed in the direction where Luo Hao had disappeared, and after a long while, he murmured softly.

…………

In fact, after finding the location of the Last King and eliminating him using his authority, Aize received a reminder from the Fantasy Library.

[We have reached a significant juncture in this fantasy world; our life experiences are now largely complete.]

Administrators can choose to return to their previous state and settle their life experiences in the library.

After defeating the final boss of the original story, Azer unsurprisingly returned to the Fantasy Library.

However, Aize did not intend to go back just like that.

Because there are still benefits to be discovered in this world.

Having the Ring of Usurpation, which allows him to increase his power at any time by killing gods, Aize naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Therefore, Aize decided to postpone his return and travel around the world with Yuri Mariya to find the God of Disobedience.

He quickly put the plan into action, bringing it up a few days after Yuri Mariya returned to the company office.

However, apart from Yuri Mariya, who was required to be with him, Erica, Liliana, and Ena Seishuin were all planning to follow him and travel around the world together.

Under these circumstances, the group of five embarked on their journey.

And sure enough, with the help of Yuri Mariya's extraordinary psychic vision, Aize successfully found all sorts of gods.

The first god Aize found was Princess Kaguya, a goddess who, like Sun Wukong, was sealed in a corner of an island nation in the far east.

Princess Kaguya is a character in the famous literary work "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter". She is a mythical figure from the moon, also known as Princess Kaguya or Princess Kaguya. Originally a celestial maiden of the moon palace, she was banished to the human world as punishment for her mistake. From a young age, she attracted attention with her stunning beauty and radiant aura. She is a beautiful goddess whose beauty is in no way inferior to that of Raho.

Her power wasn't very strong, so she was sealed in the Sagano Bamboo Forest of Arashiyama at a great cost to human sorcerers. Only by finding five special bamboo stalks in the forest and destroying them in order can she be released.

With the help of Yuri Mariya's spiritual vision, Aize successfully freed the Bamboo Cutter Goddess and killed her. After that, he obtained the famous Five Treasures of the Bamboo Cutter: the Stone Bowl Before the Buddha, the Jade Branch of Penglai, the Fire Rat Fur, the Jade of the Dragon Head, and the Swallow Cowrie Shell.

These five treasures form a complete set of divine artifacts, each with its own unique function.

The stone bowl in front of the Buddha symbolizes sacred and transcendent power, which can ward off evil forces and has a purifying effect.

The jade branch of Penglai symbolizes longevity and the beauty of a fairyland; it can prolong the life of others and has healing properties.

The fire rat fur coat symbolizes magical power and precious wealth. It can withstand the severe cold and can be washed in fire and heat without damage, allowing for free movement.

The jade dragon head is a symbol of power and wisdom, and can enhance personal charm and luck.

Zianbei is an ancient amulet that can protect one's safety. Zianbei made from swallows adds to its mystique and preciousness, and is believed to have some concealing properties.

These five divine tools weren't particularly powerful, but each had its own unique uses, so Aize accepted them without any qualms.

Afterwards, Aize led the women to a foreign land, where they encountered three more gods.

The first is Iya, the god of waters in Mesopotamian religion, the creator of humankind and culture, and a deity of wisdom and magic.

The second is Typhon, the king of monsters in Greek mythology, who symbolizes storms, has the head of a hundred dragons, a black tongue, and fire-breathing eyes. His body is taller than the sky, covered in feathers, and has a pair of wings.

The third is Horus, the falcon-headed, human-bodied god who is the guardian of the pharaohs in Egyptian mythology, the symbol of royal power, and also the god of vengeance.

After killing these three gods, Azer obtained a divine artifact and two abilities.

Yes.

It possesses the powers of two gods, not divine tools, but abilities.
