T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 152, page 151: Wow, my potatoes!

"He Yi's wife fell into the sea and can't be pulled out. It's urgent. He's asking for help online."

The jailer's casual remark became a source of joy for everyone.

Jiang Heyi covered her face.

From fiancée to wife, these people change their tune really fast!

Faced with this dilemma, Mint offered a solution—to find the lord.

The lords of coastal city-states near the Siren Royal Court of the Fallen Star Sea have most of their own channels of communication with the Royal Court. This exchange of information between the two sides ensures that the Siren and the Empire can coexist peacefully.

Zhong Zemo asked in bewilderment, "Historically, have terrestrial species never clashed with sea monsters?"

He was amazed by the sirens' incredible good temper when he heard the old man say that the nobles went to the royal court to cause trouble without being punished.

"It has been started, but it has not been upgraded. The last time the Fallen Star Sea Demon King's Court had a conflict with Anna was because a very scoundrel of a lord came to this city-state."

About 70 years ago, the new lord of Gunnar was a fanatical Great Anana.

The so-called Great Annaism believes that the Anna Empire is the legitimate successor to the entire continent and will eventually unify the whole continent, including the near seas, and subjugate the sea creatures.

As the empire was entering its golden age, such ideas inevitably arose first among the nobility.

Many fervent military aristocrats became its followers.

Perhaps it was a test from the royal family, or perhaps it was an exchange of power, but this new lord was sent to Gunnar.

As a coastal city-state, Gunnar has frequent contact with the sea people and is neighbors with the Fallen Star Royal Court, so it should have been cautious in handling its relations with them.

Upon assuming office, he immediately purchased siren slaves from other sources and publicly humiliated them.

After discovering that the Siren King's Court had not made any statement, he suddenly had a whimsical idea: to detain a Siren King who had come ashore, intending to take her as his mistress.

I almost spat out the lemonade I was drinking to cool off in the summer heat.

"Detain, detain?"

Orange Tea's eyes widened: "Take her as a mistress?"

“Impressive, isn’t it? He really did it,” Mint said. “The Siren’s Court didn’t go ashore, but contacted the royal family through its own channels. Nobody knows exactly what they talked about. After that, the lord’s family began to slowly decline and has not recovered to this day.”

Zhong Zemo broke out in a sweat listening to this.

If it were another race, such provocative behavior would surely have led to war.

Sirens do have a pretty good temper.

Since then, the royal court and the coastal city-state have established a dedicated communication channel to confirm that their neighbor is not a lunatic.

On the way to the lord's mansion, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds heard about the aftermath of the Great Snow Mountain incident.

"Have you heard? There are evil spirits lurking in the Great Snow Mountain."

“The Narum family’s business in the area was completely wiped out, no one survived the entire mansion, and all the treasures were looted.”

"His Majesty is furious and seems to have dispatched his personal guards to investigate thoroughly."

Guards?

It couldn't be composed of eighth-tier individuals like Langdon, could it?

However, with the demon's disturbance, the locals of Sai'ang no longer dared to approach the snow mountain, and it is said that no one dared to travel the smuggling route anymore.

This can be seen as helping the empire plug the loophole in smuggling. From this perspective, perhaps His Majesty should thank the evil spirit?

Thinking of this, Jiang Heyi took out the bird bone that still retained the aura of evil.

Where exactly is the person who can trigger the demonic plot?
Without any guidance, how do you find the right person in such a huge game?

Normally, obtaining the right to meet with a lord is not easy, but the boundary between the real and the virtual world is too bizarre. Holding a scale, the jailer even shouted that Jiang Heyi's wife was in the royal court, asking the lord to help him get her...

In any world and in any era, there is no shortage of people with a gossipy soul.

The guards looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

Surprisingly, instead of driving away the insolent group from the boundary between the real and virtual worlds who dared to shout in front of the lord's mansion, they summoned the captain of the guard.

The head guard listened to the guard's retelling with a strange expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

The man, who had a very old-fashioned and serious appearance, tried his best to suppress his laughter and asked the prison guard.

Could you repeat it again?

The jailer stood tall and proud, ignoring Jiang Heyi, who was being tortured and had already lowered his head, trying to pretend he didn't know him.

"This is my buddy. His wife is trapped in the royal court and can't be rescued. Please, Lord, help contact the royal court and help the couple reunite."

Jiang Heyi recalled a time in college when a roommate celebrated his birthday and everyone dragged him out for hot pot. During the meal, the generous roommate called over a waiter, who then sang and danced around their table...

Adhering to the attitude of "the more the merrier," the head guard did not continue to verify the truth of the matter, but turned and entered the mansion with a smile on his lips.

A short while later, he returned.

"The lord requests your presence."

It seems that the loud and boisterous jailer actually chose the best route.

Following the maid through the long corridor, we pushed open a mahogany door, and a magnificent reception room came into view.

Seated in the center was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes with a refined appearance.

However, there were other people in the drawing room, and it seemed that the lord intended to share this joke with his guests.
The group of guests were not very old, about 16 or 17 years old, similar to Mint.

To be a guest of honor to the lord, one is most likely a nobleman's son.

Their brows naturally exuded confidence and disdain. When their gaze touched the boundary between reality and illusion, they first frowned slightly, then their expressions immediately relaxed, transforming into a haughty indifference and contempt.

"Mint?"

As soon as she stepped into the reception room, before she could even look around, a sudden sound startled Mint.

“Mi, Milinda.” Mint’s eyes sharpened in an instant.

The seated guests all stood up, their gazes shifting from the boundary between reality and illusion to Mint, as if they had witnessed something incredible.

Lord Gunnar's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air; he looked somewhat bewildered.

He decided to observe for the time being.

"I never expected that a good-for-nothing who left the Star Speaker Academy would show up here."

"Mint, it's been almost half a year already. I remember you made some bold statements saying you'd defeat Renee sooner or later. So, is this where you're preparing to unleash your full potential?"

The boundary between reality and illusion sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

Renee.

They finally learned the name of the opponent who had caused Mint to lose so decisively.

Mint has been with them for so long, yet she is unwilling to bring it up, which shows the pressure she feels.

"Philna, you still love being Renee's dog so much, can't you speak without her?" Mint took a deep breath and looked directly at her classmates from the Star Speaker Academy. "I can't beat Renee, not you guys, right?"

Sure enough, once Renee was out of the picture, Mint transformed back into that confident, genius witch.

"Hahahaha, Mint, have you forgotten that outside of the academy, the most important ability is practical combat skills, not the scoreboard in the instructor's hand? What's your practical combat rating?"

Someone feigned ignorance and asked, "I'm a bit forgetful, what number is it exactly?"

"Of course it's the fifth-tier rating, which is better than the worst sixth-tier. Is this what genius is? It's really laughable."

Uh……

The line between reality and illusion was blurring. Mint had even lied; she claimed to be in the middle of the class, but wasn't that practically the bottom of the class?!
This completely stunned Mint, leaving her speechless.

She blushed and looked up guiltily, glancing sideways at Jiang Heyi and the others, her forehead covered in sweat.

She calls herself "Mint Mom" ​​all the time; now the kids are laughing at her!
"I thought Mint was completely crushed by you guys, turns out she's only bad at practical combat." Jiang Heyi said with a look of disdain. "The genius witch has one weakness, she's not perfect. Are all your achievements excellent?"

"Who are you?"

From the very beginning, the people from the Star Speakers Academy didn't take the boundary between reality and illusion seriously. They only refrained from humiliating the country bumpkins because they heard the lord say that "there was a group of strange, laughable visitors."

Lord Gunnar, having basically grasped the situation, spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Their goal is similar to yours; they all want to go to the Demon King's Court of the Fallen Star Sea, but..."

He paused, swirling his teacup, his smile fading.

"However, they claimed that the Siren King's Court of the Fallen Star had their fiancées."

A brief silence fell over the living room. Mint's classmate and "friend" stared in surprise, then exchanged bewildered glances before bursting into unrestrained laughter that could have lifted the ceiling of the living room.

"Fiancée, hahahahaha!"

"Judging from your attire, you must be adventurers who make a living by taking on bounties." Someone was suppressing a laugh, his face turning red. "Although the Fallen Star Sirens don't care about pure blood, if they are mixed-bloods, they would never choose a bunch of useless people who have barely taken human form."

"Countless nobles in Anna yearn to have a romantic encounter with the Siren, yet they are all turned away. Are you suggesting that the Fallen Star Siren has questionable taste?"

"Mint, have you now stooped to associating with a bunch of liars and swindlers?"

"That's true. If you don't rely on deception, how can you acquire enough resources to catch up with Renee? Perhaps you're also a genius at deception, just like you boast?"

Mint was furious: "You're the liar! You bunch of people who barely made it into the Star Speakers through family connections are less talented and less capable than me. What's there to laugh at!"

“Watch your words. If you leave the Star Speaker Academy and continue to disrespect us, you will be punished.” The girl named Philna said coldly. “You should be glad that we still care about the friendship between Star Speakers.”

"Philna, why are you still worrying about that? Isn't she a fraud herself, hanging out with these people?"

"what a shame."

"What siren fiancée? She's probably just trying to gain the siren's sympathy by playing the victim and admire the Fallen Star Library."

Jiang Heyi stopped Bohe from speaking.

He stepped forward and took a deep breath.

"I do have a fiancée in the Fallen Star Royal Court, and she is at the eighth rank."

"..."

"..."

No one laughed this time.

A furious sense of being fooled surged through everyone's face, fueled by boiling blood.

Even Lord Gunnar, who was watching the show, changed his expression.

"Arrogant, rude, base, and filthy, indeed, no clean words can come out of the mouth of the lowest of men."

At this moment, another group of people were led into the reception room.

The young man with long black hair looked down at Jiang Heyi from his elevated position.

The Star Speakers seemed to know the later leaders of this group of nobles.

"Giza, I heard that you requested to go to the Fallen Star Royal Court this time in order to get to know the excellent royal court siren. But it seems that someone is more outstanding than you and easily got an eighth-level siren."

The young man named Giza questioned Lord Gunnar without any politeness.

"Your Lordship, are you prepared to watch such a lowly group of people tarnish your manor with lies?"

Jiang Heyi had been observing the lord's expression. When Giza spoke, he was clearly displeased.

He then took out the scale in his hand and had the maid give it to the lord.

"Please help me contact the royal court. Just inform them that Kesha and his men have arrived."

Lord Gunnar's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Jiang Heyi in disbelief.

"Ksha, who is Ksha?"

The Star Speakers, and even Giza and others, were all bewildered.

After exchanging glances with Jiang Heyi for a while, the lord took out two seashells he always carried with him in front of everyone and walked into the side hall of the reception room.

A wondrous magical rhythm arose, and those with a foundation in magic felt a ripple-like sensation, like the waves of the sea.

As Lord Gunnar emerged from the side hall, he gave Jiang Heyi another long look.

He coughed and said, "I need to leave for a while. When I return, I will take you to the royal court."

"As stated beforehand, according to the laws of Anna, I will demand payment for any private feud within the city-state, regardless of who it involves."

Baffling actions and words.

While the others were still confused about the boundary between reality and illusion, Zhong Zemo excitedly lowered his voice and explained to Orange Tea and the others.

"This lord is a clever man. He deliberately gave the stage to He Yi, thus subtly currying favor with him."

Under the lord's strict order that "private duels are forbidden," the two sides were left with only the option of a war of words.

The prison guard is incredibly powerful, and he's got all the tricks up his sleeve with his sarcastic and unpredictable personality.

Jiang Heyi was not to be outdone. He unleashed the sealed fun switch and poured out their insults to Mint, such as... people who can't even beat Mint are not even as good as children.

Just as the two sides were building up their anger, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor.

"Oh!"

The mahogany door to the reception room collapsed with a crash as the water element surged through it.

Kraken?

Those outside the boundary between reality and illusion were dumbfounded.

The moment the alluring siren pushed open the door, her gaze was fixed on Jiang Heyi, who was maintaining his violent output mode.

Upon realizing this, an absurd guess came to everyone's mind.

impossible……

"Wow, my potatoes!"

As if to assert her dominance, she shouted as soon as she entered the room.

Kexia pounced straight on Jiang Heyi, her chubby fishtail swinging excitedly on the ground, making a series of "slap slap slap" sounds.

"I thought you'd be waiting a long time to come see me, but you're here so soon?"

"It was all an act of hesitation; she clearly likes me!"

In her siren form, Kesha's weight increased dramatically, and her powerful fishtail provided her with immense strength, rendering Jiang Heyi unable to move.

What's wrong with your fish tail?

“Oh, anyway, I’m taking you to the royal court soon, so I won’t dispel it for now… Oh, it seems there’s a group of you humans who really like thighs.” Ksha seemed to understand something, his eyes shining brightly. “I see.”

Just as Jiang Heyi was about to explain, the prison guard interrupted.

"Yes, that's it."
