T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 588, Section 587: Just Kidding

It’s ridiculous.

Her power stands at the pinnacle of Anna, yet facing a 3rd-tier junior mage, she... feels uneasy?

There are no secrets.

Those completely private thoughts, even those that only exist deep within the heart, seem to have opened their arms to the other person, becoming one-way transparent.

Like a book being read.

He could have easily wiped him away with magic...

Elaevi took a deep breath, quietly swallowed, and suppressed the tension and fear churning within her.

She suddenly remembered what the other person had said not long ago: "Long time no see."

It's like meeting an old friend you've known for many years—it evokes feelings of nostalgia, joy, and excitement.

Just moments ago she thought it was nonsense, but now Aleira was completely confused.

Even the most skilled actor in the empire could not recreate even a fraction of the expression on the other person's face at that moment.

He opened his arms slightly, holding his backpack, and unconsciously took a step forward, as if to hug himself.
Why did it stop?

Seeing the subtle signs, Elaine became increasingly confused, feeling as if the person sharing the pastries with her was shrouded in mystery.

Jiang Heyi smiled: "Someone told me."

Ailera quickly pressed, "Who?"

At this point, she no longer believed the "other person" Jiang Heyi spoke of.

This is like a fictional friend someone makes up when telling a story they find difficult to talk about.

"I have a friend" implies that it refers to him personally!
"I can't tell you right now, but I'll tell you everything in the summer three years from now," Jiang Heyi said.

If it were anyone else, Elaevi would have scolded them for being pretentious, and with a flick of her wrist, she would have hung them on a tree branch and kicked them around like a swing.

Jiang Heyi's subtle subconscious reaction kept replaying in his mind.

Ailera slowly exhaled a breath of white air.

She chose to believe first.

“I have a question,” she asked. “Have we met before?”

Jiang Heyi pursed her lips.

"I've seen it."

"Where?"

“Probably…” Jiang Heyi laughed heartily, “in a dream.”

Elaine was stunned.

"Just kidding. You'll know in three years. Don't ask, I won't tell you even if you do.

His fists were clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

What a waste that she took it seriously!

"You'd better live well for the next three years. I don't want to dig up your grave and drag you out to whip your corpse!"

"I've never heard of dragons having the habit of eating carrion. Is this your strange quirk?" Jiang Heyi said dismissively. "Remember to use it to make soup. Here's a recipe, just copy it. Bone broth, it's delicious."

Elaine was stunned.

I've never seen such an arrogant person!

In his eyes, was he still a dragon?

They joke and tease each other freely, without any boundaries, like old friends who have known each other for years, almost as if the word "teasing" is written all over their foreheads.

They don't even spare themselves! What kind of person would come up with such a bizarre idea as using their own bones to make soup?
Unfortunately, Jiang Heyi was unaware of Elaine's inner thoughts; otherwise, he would have started by saying, "I have a friend," and introduced the prison guard.

During his practice of necromancy, he wondered why evil necromancers didn't try to extract all the value from the bones, such as by making a pot of clear bone broth.

He might have just wanted to show off, but the teacher sent by the ruler patted his shoulder and gave him an approving thumbs up, marveling that the student had surpassed the teacher.

Damn it, the Overlord has picked up a ghost.

Elaeva, who hadn't had her appetite satisfied in a long time, spent some time devouring all the snacks in the five backpacks.

The process was similar to Jiang Heyi slurping up congee. He brought his backpack to his mouth, took a deep breath, and the snack melted in his mouth.

Satisfied, she picked her teeth with her paw: "You got targeted just because you bought these things for me?"

There's still one survivor.

"Looks like you hold a grudge."

Elaeva understood immediately.

A powerful ninth-tier dragon sneaked into Broken Hammer under the cover of night, found the bounty target, and slipped away undetected—a piece of cake.

The last member of the gang wept and knelt down, begging for forgiveness, saying the same words as the bandit Amy: he was willing to give everything, including himself, to beg for forgiveness.

Ailera stared at Jiang Heyi with amusement. The female mage in front of her was indeed very beautiful, with fair skin, which fit the Anau people's definition of beauty.

She clung to Jiang Heyi's leg, offering to do anything for him, and maybe he'd be tempted...

"Burned."

"Ugh?"

"Since she's already begging me, let her leave quickly."

Without hesitation, Aileravi breathed out a dragon's breath, effortlessly evaporating the unlucky guy who had messed with the wrong person.

They worked together seamlessly, had a clear division of labor, were highly experienced, and had succeeded countless times.

Unfortunately, if you walk the dark path too often, you'll eventually encounter a dragon.

"So decisive!"

"Or should we invite her in for a late-night snack?" Jiang Heyi scoffed.

Ailera's gaze at Jiang Heyi became increasingly subtle.

Such a team, in order to conceal their identities, would certainly not carry the looted wealth with them. A little interrogation might yield unexpected results.

But he just burned it without warning.

She couldn't help but ask, "Are you really that indifferent to money?"

Jiang Heyi rubbed his forehead: "I hope you don't mention money, or it will give me a headache." Before his arrival, he had developed a very complete view of money and was once quite pleased with his plans.

The jailer ruined everything.

Just like a gambling addict, once you experience the thrill of winning money, it can completely destroy your correct understanding of the value of money earned through normal labor.

This scoundrel makes money too fast, constantly taking money from the pockets of nobles!
Now, Jiang Heyi finds anything about hidden treasures in the wild or treasure maps of bandit groups laughable.

He had silently erased the pure monetary treasure from his mind, leaving only the marks of those containing rare magical materials.

With Elaeva's protection, the return to the Blue Lake wetlands went exceptionally smoothly.

Most of the alien insects that had awakened rudimentary intelligence wisely took a detour.

We're all just trying to make a living and survive; there's no need to fight a plague.

The dragon took off, spewing its breath, scorching the earth. Even facehuggers would become a local delicacy if they came.

The Zerg are smarter than some animals that can only execute low-level code and breathe...

Oh wait, it seems that the cat-eared people in the world of Ana are mostly lazy and gentle.

The evolution that took place under the influence of magic was a great help.

From the moment he landed, Jiang Heyi was busy advancing the main storyline and searching for teammates. Only when he had a moment of leisure could he remember that he had transmigrated to another world, where everyone had wanted to touch the beast ears and tails that they had all been longing to touch before they transmigrated.

Elavia scouted the area around the marked spot for a while and got a general idea of ​​what to expect.

“The swamp will evaporate, and the wetlands will be improved, but only within the radius of the circle you drew. It shouldn’t be a big problem.” She then made a request, “I want to complete this using a humanoid character.”

"Whatever, as long as it gets finished, I don't care if you turn into an earthworm."

Elaine frowned; she was trying to get used to Jiang Heyi's teasing and attempting to retaliate.

How could anyone be named Potato?

Just hearing the name makes it sound dirty and yellowish, completely devoid of any aesthetic appeal or artistic conception.

She tried to start with the name, subtly mocking Jiang Heyi's unsophisticated name.

However, the other party just smiled and did not respond.

Coming to her senses, Elaevi realized that she had naturally regarded the other person as an equal to herself, as if they had known each other for a long time and were bickering.

Strange things.

After Tina became clear, she rarely got close to humans.

When do you plan to start construction?

Jiang Heyi pondered for a moment and replied, "Let me go outside and put up a few bounties."

"A bounty?" Areravi clenched her fists. "You want me to level the ground, and you expect others to help you? You're looking down on me!"

"You're a dragon," Jiang Heyi retorted. "I'm here to warn adventurers about the fleeing alien insects and cause panic."

Although Blue Lake Wetland is very large, it shouldn't be a problem to fence off a section near the central area and drive away the alien insects.

But who knows if these strange insects will indirectly trigger a swarm of insects.

We must learn from the lessons of Dimir City and renovate it in stages, one step at a time, without rushing things.

Elaevi originally wanted to start a big fire and finish the job quickly.

If it weren't for the shame of showing itself, it would be even more effective to restore its original form, take to the air, and plow the land back and forth, creating a sea of ​​fire in purgatory.

Jiang Heyi's proposed renovation plan forced her to become a long-term worker.

I was furious, but I couldn't refuse.

Tina jokingly made a promise about the vouchers back then, but she passed away early and only three of them were fulfilled; she made it to the rest.

"Sigh, Tina... she won't let me go even after she's dead."

Jiang Heyi seemed to have thought of something, and turned back just as he was about to leave.

"After you finish, are you going to return to Broken Hammer Mountain?"

"Otherwise what? Go to your and your financier's manor for food and drinks?"

Elaeva was about to breathe on him, but then she held back.

Once you're all familiar with each other, it's not very polite to breathe on someone's face.

"I wasn't planning on having you come over," Jiang Heyi said, stroking his chin. "Can you stay where you are?"

Areravi waved the promise scroll in her hand: "Little potato, I only agreed to grant your wish after I accepted your promise scroll, not because I'm your maid to be commanded by you."

"This scroll represents the completion of the land leveling and renovation project; the deal is done!"

She made up her mind that if Jiang Heyi pressed her for details, she would make him reveal a secret that could only be told three years later in exchange.

Trying to whet your appetite? No way.

She is a noble dragon, a 9th-rank dragon, the youngest individual in Anna's history!
Don't think you can get her labor for free by building a relationship with her; she won't fall for that...

In Jiang Heyi's hand, a strip of azure blue trim fluttered in the wind.

Ailera's mouth was so big it could fit several eggs. At that moment, she subconsciously thought of a "flame," and her dragon breath could turn Jiang Heyi into a roasted potato.

She snatched it and examined every detail carefully, from the handwriting to the style of the promise scroll.

Such as fake replacement.

"you……"

If she was just taken aback before, now when she looked at Jiang Heyi, she really felt a chill run down her spine.

Back then, she and Tina hid the promise scrolls everywhere, and they couldn't even remember where they were.

Providing two promise vouchers at once most likely means the other party is willing to pay a large sum of money to buy them.

However, such a deal would inevitably spread to Anna.

She wasn't a complete shut-in; she would occasionally stroll around the vicinity of the ruling center.

I can't figure it out at all.

“Haki… Eleravie, here is the second promise scroll. My requirement is that you live near the soon-to-be-established Jailer Manor for three years.”

"Protect the manor until the moment I can tell you the truth."
