"Now, let's find Felt first, then retrieve the badge before that woman arrives, and return it to that beautiful girl afterwards!"

486 set off again, heading towards the slums.

The live stream feed switched back to showing 486 alone, while Li Yue and her two companions walked onto the bustling streets to begin exploring the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Li Yuejun, tell me about the situation in this world."

Aizen and Li Yue walked side by side, observing the surrounding streets and asking questions at the same time.

"Huh? Does the group owner know a lot about this world?"

Shanks was also observing, but he was quite surprised by what Aizen said. His tone suggested that Li Yue was very familiar with this world.

"Well, although I don't fully understand it, I do know some of the most basic settings."

Li Yue pointed to the royal palace built on a high slope in the distance. Although it was far away, it could be seen clearly.

"The Kingdom of Lugunica, a nation that has made a pact with the dragon, is protected by the dragon and is safeguarded by the alliance it made with the dragon, Polkeni, in the past, which has led to the construction of a prosperous nation."

Whether it be war, plague, or even famine, all crises can be avoided under the protection of dragons. Throughout the kingdom's long history, the word "dragon" has never disappeared. However, over-reliance on the alliance and emphasis on the historical record of dragons has made the country too fragile to survive independently. When faced with a situation that threatens the nation, it does nothing but seek power from dragons or prophetic tablets.

"The current situation is that all the royal family members who originally signed a contract with the dragon have died. Therefore, the council of wise men who assist the king in governing the country is preparing to elect a new king. There are five people participating in the election. All five of them have been recognized by the dragon and are qualified as dragon priestesses. That silver-haired beauty is one of them."

"Does even the election of a new king require the dragon's approval?"

Aizen couldn't help but ask.

"Because a terrible catastrophe occurred in this world hundreds of years ago, there are seven powerful witches in this world, who are known as the Great Sin Witches: Envy, Greed, Wrath, Gluttony, Pride, Sloth, Lust, and Vanity."

"Wait, didn't you say seven? Why did you say eight?"

Shanks counted on his fingers and found he had one extra.

"Just like there are actually four Admirals, five Emperors, and eight Warlords of the Sea, there are actually eight Seven Witches! That's normal, isn't it?"

"I see, that makes sense... Wait, there are four generals in total? And there's a fifth emperor too!? When did this happen? How come I didn't know!"

"Don't worry about these details."

"Is this a detail that doesn't need to be considered?"

Shanks looked at Li Yue speechlessly.

"The seven witches possess extremely powerful abilities, which, when used, could easily overturn the world."

"But in the legend, the Witch of Envy went berserk due to her own witch genes, devouring the remaining six witches. After devouring the six witches, she even devoured half the world, bringing an extremely terrible disaster to the world. In order to save the world, the legendary three heroes stood up."

"Sword Saint Red Astrea, Dragon Polcanny, and Great Sage Frugal together defeated and sealed away the Witch of Envy, and the world returned to peace. The Great Sage disappeared, while the Dragon and the Sword Saint joined this pro-dragon kingdom. The Sword Saint's descendants still serve as Sword Saints in this kingdom, and the Dragon continues to protect this country."

As for where the sage went, Li Yue made a reasonable guess based on the later plot: he was reincarnated, and the person he became after reincarnation was Natsuki Subaru. This is because the sage's disciple recognized Natsuki Subaru as her master as soon as she saw him, saying that Natsuki Subaru looked exactly like her master.

Furthermore, this great sage must have had a very close relationship with the Witch of Envy, which is why the Witch of Envy is so fond of Subaru Natsuki. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Witch of Envy to bring Subaru Natsuki into this world and give him the power of death and reincarnation.

It's probably some kind of story where someone goes berserk, and then, with tears in their eyes, asks their loved one to seal them away, hoping that their loved one's reincarnation will come and kill them personally.

"After the Witch of Envy was sealed away, an evil organization called the Witch's Guild was born. Although they are called the Witch's Guild, they only believe in the Witch of Envy and travel all over the world in order to liberate her. Corresponding to the seven Great Sin Witches, they also have seven Great Sin Archbishops, each with completely different powers. They are very difficult to deal with and are notorious destroyers in this world."

"The current situation is that the countries are relatively peaceful, and all countries despise the Witch Cult."

"This is the most basic historical background of this world. In addition to this background, the power of this world is also very interesting. Because the atmosphere is full of magic, the power system of this world is based on magic. There are two main schools: magicians and elf users. Magicians use the magic power in their own bodies to cast spells, while elf users absorb magic power from the atmosphere by forming a contract with elves to cast spells."

Li Yue raised her finger and pointed to the sky.

"Besides that, there is a special ability in this world called blessing, which is the ability that the blonde loli Felt used. This world seems to have a consciousness, and it will bestow special abilities on some of its favorites, special magic that they will possess without having to learn it."

"Among them, the contemporary sword saint Reinhard is the most beloved person in the world. Ordinary people usually only have one blessing, and one blessing is the limit that ordinary people can bear. However, this sword saint has more than forty blessings, and can get a new blessing anytime, anywhere, as long as he wants. He can even get a blessing that can restrain the enemy at any time in battle."

"Hey, isn't this ability pretty shameless?"

Shanks couldn't help but complain.

After all, nobody wants to be fighting when, halfway through, their opponent suddenly has an ability that counters them. If they already had it from the beginning, that would be one thing, but to suddenly have an ability that counters them after they've learned about their own abilities is just too unreasonable.

"Therefore, this sword saint is the strongest in this country, and it can also be said to be the strongest in this world. He even has the blessing of resurrection. After death, he can be resurrected on the spot, and after being resurrected, he will receive the blessing of resurrection again. As long as he wants, he can live forever."

"That would be so much fun."

Aizen couldn't help but laugh, and for a moment he thought of the Wishing Machine King from the Bleach world.

"This can no longer be called a blessing; this is an all-powerful wish-granting machine."

"Of course, in this world he can be considered to have a built-in wish-granting machine, but any blessing has its limit, it's just that no one in this world can reach its limit yet."

Li Yue smiled.

"However, we who come from another world do not belong to this world."

"Oh~~ The strongest swordsman in another world, is that it? We, from another world, can certainly go and have a go at him."

Shanks understood what Li Yue meant.

"If you're going to try, why not just go find the strongest power in the world? That would certainly be a good choice."

Aizen nodded affirmatively.

"Then, while 486 is still doing the story mission, let's go find this strongest swordsman!"

195. Shanks vs. Leo

Sword Saint Reinhard is known to everyone in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

He is hailed as the strongest swordsman in history, even surpassing the first swordsman who founded the swordsman family. He is the strongest fighting force in the kingdom. It is precisely because of Reinhard's existence that even if the entire royal family of the kingdom suddenly died and the country lost its supreme ruler, the country did not become completely chaotic, because the strongest swordsman has a powerful enough deterrent.

Of course, the dragon is also a factor. The dragon and the sword saint can be said to be the most basic guarantee for the establishment of this country, and also the country's safety net mechanism.

Because he was too powerful, the Sword Saint Reinhard was even forbidden from going to the border, as his sudden approach to the border might cause tension in other countries around the kingdom, thus leading to the outbreak of war.

Therefore, Reinhard is usually confined to the heart of the kingdom, centered on the capital. To the entire kingdom and even the world, he is a mobile humanoid nuclear weapon.

Today, Reinhard was patrolling the capital as usual. In fact, although Reinhard was a sword saint, he was also a knight and belonged to the Royal Guard Knights. His job was to patrol the capital as a knight, but today was his day off.

Even on his days off, he had nothing to do, so he continued to patrol the streets, offering help to anyone in need.

"Ok?"

Reinhard, who was patrolling the streets as usual, suddenly sensed something unusual and immediately focused his gaze in a certain direction.

He saw three figures standing in the crowd: a man with red hair, three scars on his face, dressed in tattered clothes and exuding a dissolute air; a man with brown hair, a smiling face, wearing a white robe but giving off a very dangerous feeling; and a man with black hair but several colors highlighted on his face, wearing a black and gold robe that gave off a strange feeling. All three men had a sword at their waists and were staring at him menacingly.

Upon seeing the three men, Reinhard looked in surprise at the Dragon Sword at his waist. It was the sword of the first Sword Saint, the strongest sword in the world. Only those with the Sword Saint's blessing could use it, and it possessed its own consciousness. It was not usually drawn, and it would only loosen its sheath when it encountered someone it deemed worthy to draw it. Just now, when he looked at the three men, the Dragon Sword loosened.

"Are they enemies, and people who can make the Dragon Sword willingly draw its sheath? How many are there? One, two, or all three?"

Reinhard's expression turned serious.

"The characteristics of these three people do not match those of the legendary powerhouses. Are they powerhouses I have never seen before?"

"Three of them have arrived at once. If a fight breaks out here..."

The capital city will likely suffer severe damage, and its inhabitants will probably suffer heavy casualties!

As the "strongest swordsman," Reinhard knows just how powerful he is. So powerful that even in his rare battles, he has to hold back, because his fights cause immense destruction to the surrounding area.

However, he can hold back his power when he strikes, but his enemies can't, especially those ruthless witch cult members who kill without blinking an eye. They won't talk to you about protecting civilians; they're just a bunch of simple lunatics.

Reinhard didn't know which side these three men belonged to—the Witch Cult, assassins, or warriors from the neighboring empire. He just hoped they wouldn't suddenly attack in this bustling street.

Seemingly sensing Reinhard's expectations, the three men glanced at him and then turned and left together.

"They didn't make a move, and they left in the direction outside the capital. Are they trying to lure me out of the capital to ambush and eliminate me? Or are they trying to lure me out of the capital so that it will be easier for the rest of them to move around inside the capital?"

Regardless of the possibility, Reinhard had no choice. Now, he could only trust the rest of the Royal Guard Knights and go to the meeting alone. In his view, if he could not act according to the other party's wishes, the other party would definitely cause great destruction because the expected goal was not achieved. As a knight, he had to ensure that the loss of civilians was minimized.

Therefore, Reinhard walked through the crowd and followed the three men toward the outskirts of the capital.

They crossed the lower city of the capital and arrived at the slums outside the capital.

The slums are very large. The direction that Li Yue and her two companions were heading towards was in the opposite direction from where 486 was heading. In this way, no matter how much noise they made, it wouldn't affect the plot progress on 486's side.

After arriving at the slum, Li Yue and her two companions found a relatively open space and stopped.

"Finally stopped, everyone?"

Reinhard stood about twenty meters behind the three of them and smiled as he spoke to them.

"Yes, after all, we have already achieved our goal of getting you out of the capital, Sword Saint."

"So your purpose was to lure me out? Can you tell me why you lured me out? What are your accomplices in the capital planning to do, or have you laid an ambush here?"

Reinhardt spoke to Li Yue and the other two with a polite demeanor.

"Well, guess what? If you can't defeat us, this capital city will be in danger, hehehehe~~"

Li Yue smiled with an expression that said, "I'm a bad guy," and her laughter sounded extremely lewd.

"In that case, there's no other way. It seems that I can only get you to honestly reveal your purpose by defeating you first."

Reinhard gripped the hilt of the Dragon Sword with his right hand.

"So, are you planning to come one by one, or all at once?"

Li Yue looked at Aizen and Shanks.

"Who comes first?"

"I'll go! This is a fight against the world's strongest swordsman. I wonder how I'll compare to Mihawk."

Shanks walked straight up, wearing slippers and simple linen clothes, even his cloak looked tattered. To outsiders, he didn't look like a super strong person at all, especially since he always had a silly expression on his face, making him look very stupid.

However, Reinhard on the other side did not think so, because when Shanks stepped forward, the dragon sword at his waist was directly ejected from its sheath.

"Can you tell me your name, strong one?"

Reinhard looked intently at Shanks. This was the third time the Dragon Sword had been drawn since he obtained it. Such a powerful figure deserved his respect.

"My name is Shanks. Many people call me Red-Haired Shanks. You can call me Shanks or Red-Haired Shanks, Sword Saint."

Shanks stepped forward and stopped about ten meters away from Reinhard.

Then he lifted his cloak, revealing only his right hand beneath it and the famous sword Griffin in its blue scabbard.

"So he only has a right hand?"

Reinhard stared in surprise at Shanks' empty left sleeve.
