T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 407, Section 406: One More Person Added
The doors to the main hall were pushed open, and the Grelian family members, who were anxiously peering inside, saw Renee sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.

Without waiting to ask Kurien for instructions, they rushed in.

The mental mage Gulko, who had rushed to his destination, looked at the dawn redwood tree with suspicion.

"May I ask, what school of spiritual magic do you belong to?"

Exhausted, Shui Shan just wanted to find a place to rest, and replied perfunctorily, "It's a school of its own."

Gurko's lips trembled slightly, clearly taken aback by the answer.

Inside the hall, Renee clutched her forehead, the stinging pain in her mind not completely gone. She grimaced, while Mint pulled out a bottle of something good and handed it to her.

Renee asked curiously, "What is this?"

Mint proudly said, "Oh, this potion, made for dealing with mentally specialized enemies at the boundary between reality and illusion, can effectively alleviate your discomfort."

Although everyone in the boundary between the virtual and real worlds has become more powerful and has more and more useful items, the demand for high-end potions is far less than the demand for mass-produced potions. However, Mint still keeps a variety of potions in the guild's independent warehouse for them, just in case.

"I didn't realize you were so good at taking care of people," Renee teased.

"Without me, they'd have a hard time even challenging monsters."

Yes, yes, yes, whatever Mint says is right.

We can't let her lose face in front of outsiders. Everyone tacitly agreed to the boundary between truth and falsehood, and decided not to undermine her for the time being.

Just as Renee was about to pour the medicine into her mouth, an elderly man with gray hair snatched it away with lightning speed.

"Rene, let's check it out first."

Startled, Renee's mouth gaped slightly. She raised an eyebrow, snatched the bag back aggressively, and downed it in one gulp.

After drinking it, she defiantly showed everyone the empty potion bottle.

"Rene, you—"

"Everyone is thinking about your health."

Renee finally found an outlet for her emotions.

"Considering me? When the spatial magic collapsed, weren't you all only thinking of yourselves?"

Kurien waved to the maid, and without pausing, a glass of fragrant orange juice was brought to him.

"Okay, okay, I love watching this."

After a busy night, the scene that Kurien had been most looking forward to finally appeared.

It was worth it for him to clear the space and provide materials.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

The Grelian family were highly respected figures, renowned giants in the magical world, and they did indeed make efforts to rescue them.

But in the end, the ones who truly stayed by Renee's side were her former enemies, the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion, and Mint.

What you say is not important; what you do is.

In the midst of the explosion, all beings are equal. At that moment, a group of people risked their lives, braving the risks of explosion and spatial collapse to go against the current and grab her unconscious body.

Renee chuckled dryly, "I also hope that it was my family members, who claim to care about me the most and are connected to me by blood, who did everything they could to save me."

"It's like in the children's books we read when we were young, where elderly parents are willing to use their bodies to attract the attention of monsters in order to save their children's lives."

“I don’t like my parents, and I’m not interested in you either, but my magical talent has been realized in Grelian, and that’s a debt I should repay.”

“I didn’t want to portray family ties as a transaction. We shouldn’t be buyers and sellers, but a family.”

"Unfortunately, you have already made your choice. When my life was weighed, all of you in the Grian family were weighed, and the final result was..."

Renee gave a wry smile: "I am a 'future' that can be abandoned."

"Rennie..."

“I will not bring shame to the great name of Glorian. To the outside world, you can still declare that I am the pride and future of Glorian, whatever you want.”

“But starting today, I will examine my relationship with my family in my own way.”

Everyone has a harsh and sarcastic side; it's just that gentle people hide it well, while vulgar people have no taboos.

Renee doesn't consider herself a mean person. Since she was ten, she has been examining her family and the world in her own way.

One of the main reasons she didn't flee the Grelian family after mastering spatial magic was that she genuinely enjoyed the benefits that came with her family status.

Her strength and growth are inseparable from the nourishment of this towering tree. She simply believes that she should give back to her family with equal value, but she also thinks that doing so is too mercenary, treating blood ties as a transaction that can be calculated.

That night, all her entanglements were resolved.

"Since it's a transaction, let's not involve emotions. Everyone should have a clear price. Talking about feelings is a bit too expensive."

An unprecedented indifference.

The child, who was once humble and polite to his family elders, seems to have disappeared completely after falling into a coma.

The Renee in front of me was frighteningly unfamiliar.

"Gulco, check on Renee!"

Gulko is the most powerful mental mage in the Grelian family, reaching the 8th rank.

Jiang Heyi had to make a statement: "You don't trust the people we invited from the virtual-real border?"

“Mental magic is as mysterious as spatial magic. You claim that the process of healing Renee was merely to awaken her from her dream, but who can say for sure that there might have been other tricks involved?”

A languid voice drifted in from outside the hall.

"The ships of the Grelian family are prohibited from passing through the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars."

"Ship owners who offer direct trade to the Grelian will not be protected by the Fallen Star Siren."

Everyone inside the hall turned around abruptly.

Kurion, who was watching the show, was so happy that he almost turned into a water-spraying lion king.

This material was really worth it! Setting up a stage at home means there's so much fun to be had!
"Your Majesty, aren't you being a bit too aggressive?"

Jingxin leaned against the mahogany door of the main hall, squinting at the old man who was speaking.

"I know that you are all renowned scholars in the Anna academic community, towering figures revered by scholars of all schools of thought. The most common phrase used to describe you is 'highly respected and virtuous.'"

“If anyone offends you or your apprentice, the next day that ignorant bastard will receive a warning from the entire family and school. To avoid suspicion, he will be ruthlessly kicked out by his own master, and no one will dare to plead for him.”

"And I, the Queen of the Fallen Star Siren, the lord of countless sea creatures, assure Your Majesty that a reliable master of mental magic has traveled thousands of miles to assist in the treatment, yet you dare to slander me with a mere 'trick' without any basis."

In Jingxin's eyes, a turbulent sea surged.

The moment the thought arose, the wooden door and wall she was leaning against reflected the illusory image of the ocean tide.

"You say I'm aggressive?"

Jingxin abandoned her languidness; her hair, imbued with magic, turned algae green and moved on its own without wind.

"Then it seems you haven't seen true aggression."

Even the seasoned scholars of the Grylls were taken aback by the imposing aura that Jingxin was displaying at this moment.

They could understand Renee's disappointment, but the coldness in her words revealed her intention to betray Grelian, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Their true intention was to use mental magic to question the matter, quickly bring it to a close, and then discuss it at home.

If there are no steps, you can only create them, and casually take the boundary between reality and illusion and step on it.

But they made a mistake in their haste.

It's true that dawn redwood is the mother of mint, and it's also true that it has intricate connections with the boundary between reality and illusion.

But her most terrifying identity is that of a master guarantor for Jingxin.

After Kurion's low-key mediation, relations between the Empire and the Sirens were barely restored to what they were before the potion scandal. Maintaining stability on both the continent and the sea was now a consensus within the Empire.

Kurien, who had been watching the show, dared not watch any longer and quickly tried to mediate.

He couldn't tell if the old man Grelian's brain was so ingrained with erudition that he was inflexible.

It's also unclear how much importance Jingxin attaches to the dawn redwood.

In case the conflict escalates and a real fight breaks out...

The Grelian magicians present all had gray hair.

They stand at the pinnacle of their respective magical professions, enjoying the adoration and adulation of countless magical apprentices, and have not suffered any humiliation for countless years.

But unfortunately, I have no choice but to swallow this anger.

So they bowed slightly to Jingxin to apologize for their slip of the tongue.

Then, adopting a warm and friendly demeanor, he persuaded Renee to leave with them.

Renee glanced at Mint and a smile played on her lips.

"I'm all grown up now. I can decide for myself what I want to do and where I want to go!"

Realizing something was wrong, the old folks quickly intervened, trying to disrupt the formation of the spatial magic.

Zhong Zemo pulled out a small, magic-suppressing round shield, and "accidentally" rolled it in front of them.
The magic was distorted, and the spellcasting was delayed. In the blink of an eye, Renee disappeared from the hall, her whereabouts unknown.

"you!"

Renee fled, and some people rushed to chase after her, while others angrily pointed their fingers at Zhong Zemo's nose.

"The atmosphere was too tense, I just made a mistake." Zhong Zemo said innocently.

"A slip-up?"

Seeing that the other party was relentless, she jumped out of bed.

"Old man, I'm free to swing this magic-suppressing round shield around like a discus for fun, it's none of your business~~~"

"The boundary between reality and illusion, okay, we've got it."

No sooner had she uttered those harsh words than Jingxin stretched.

“The Gryan family, right? Okay, I’ll remember that.”

The group of people who hadn't yet left the main hall were abruptly turned around by her voice.

"If the children at the boundary between the virtual and the real world are inexplicably retaliated against and harassed, based on your statement just now, I will assume that it was done by the Grelian family."

The pampered scholars felt a surge of frustration in their chests, which made their faces turn red.

Breathing heavily, they all assured each other, "We Grelians are not so narrow-minded."

Before they arrived, they had heard that the empire's nobles all avoided contact with the boundary between the real and the virtual.

The name of him as a plague god among nobles is legendary.

I initially thought it was just a case of the boundary between reality and illusion being used by a fox to intimidate others, but today I've witnessed firsthand Jingxin's fierce protectiveness...

"Hurry, hurry up... my lungs hurt!"

After the people from the Grelian group left, Jingxin accompanied Shuishan to rest.

With no outsiders left in the hall, Jiang Heyi asked with a smile, "Your Majesty Kurien, is this the result you wanted?"

Kurien couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

"It's even better than I expected!"

I thought it would be good enough if Renee could develop a grudge against the family, but I didn't expect to actually witness her running away from home.

The "future" that Grelian was so proud of truly was "promising."

"But I'm still curious, were the symptoms Renee exhibited before falling into a coma really as simple as you described?"

Seeing several people stealing glances at Jiang Heyi at the boundary between reality and illusion, Kurien understood and raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to say anything.

"If it were a few decades earlier, I would have pulled you into the adventure team without hesitation."

Wick chuckled and said, "That's the highest praise His Majesty can give to someone."

"Your Majesty, since we have exceeded our mission expectations..."

Before Kurien could speak, Wick jumped out first.

"Please spare His Majesty's treasury."

The Lion King chuckled as he looked at his old friend, and instinctively punched him on the shoulder.

This was not how an emperor should treat his subjects.

“We don’t want the items in the treasury,” Jiang Heyi said. “It seems that His Majesty’s squad once established a temporary base in a cave outside what is now Fengjia City.”

Kurien froze, his gaze becoming unfocused: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten. We did put some small items inside, but most of them are worthless. If you want to dig, then go ahead."

The inability to give up is a common problem among players.

Even if the NPC explicitly states that there is only trash inside, you must empty all the trash cans before you are satisfied.

Even before we reached the streets after leaving the palace, we could already hear people whispering about Renee.

Just like when Renee ran away at the age of 10, the entire Grelian family mobilized frantically to search for her.

The difference is that 10-year-old Renee is not powerful enough, and the distance her spatial magic can tear is limited.

Now, she is a high-level mage.

Back at the manor, Renee unsurprisingly sat in the hall, waiting for the boundary between reality and illusion.

"Not bad, you can understand my hints." Mint nodded repeatedly. "Have you thought about what to do in the future?"

Renee shook her head: "I have no idea, but since it's a rare opportunity to leave home, I'll definitely want to travel around."

Mint was overjoyed: "Then join us! There are lots of weird and wonderful people in the guilds on the border between reality and illusion. Don't you want to chat with a mage like Eleravie?"

This time, Renee didn't refuse the invitation; she nodded shyly.

Jiang Heyi quickly used guild resources to craft a precious jade.

The moment Renee finished logging in, the permanent population at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds increased by one.

In the past, people were busy navigating the boundaries between the real and the virtual worlds. Renee's appearance filled the void of the permanent residents being unable to evade people.

The jailer checked his experience bar with some confusion.

He muttered to Jiang Heyi, "Why does it feel like a phase of the story has ended, but the rewards haven't arrived yet?"

Jiang Heyi sighed helplessly.

You might say the jailer is stupid, but he can also pull off a god-like maneuver by predicting the corpse explosion and flipping over Dussel.

He's not stupid, but he's also quite forgetful.

"We haven't even dug out and destroyed the container where Dussel stores consciousness yet."

The jailer suddenly realized, "Oh, right!"

The location where a ninth-tier mage stores his soul container must also house some of his collections.

It remains to be seen whether Düsseldorf, having already faced death once, can still offer them some surprises.

"The question is: how do we find it?"

Renee raised her hand: "I might be able to offer some clues."
