I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

"Have it?"

Sylvia began to recount: "Claudia from Seidoukan Academy, I heard she used to be troubled by the cost of the Pure Starlight Armament, you were the one who helped her get rid of it, right?"

“I don’t deny it, it was just a small favor, and she also helped me get legal status.” Mingxian said nonchalantly.

Sylvia added, "And Kirin Toudou, she also received your help, right?"

“That’s because she’s determined. If she still acted like a pushover, no one could help her.” Mingxian shrugged and added, “She also taught all her swordsmanship skills to others.”

"Although it's not suitable for my greatsword, I've still managed to grasp the essence of the Toufudo style."

"If we really have to nitpick, I'd say I've come out ahead."

Sylvia rested her cheek on her hand, unable to resist looking at Mingxian's profile. Listening to his various statements, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Mingxian stopped speaking, glanced at Sylvia, and said, "You also participated in the Knights War, so you should know that those who participated in this war were all acting out of their own selfish desires and were prepared to take the lives of others."

Sylvia hummed in agreement, without refuting the statement.

Even she was prepared to take someone else's life.

If you don't fight, the contracted beast will turn on you.

Previously, the grandson of the EP director died in front of everyone, telling them that the Knight Battle was not a competitive event like the "Star Martial Festival," but a life-or-death battle.

"You also took someone else's life?"

"more or less."

Mingxian said in a calm tone, "Tengori Haruka's father was Knight Blade. After I defeated him, he was eaten by his own contracted beast."

“Tengori Haruka’s father…” Sylvia thought for a moment, “Madias died because of this, no wonder the higher-ups are trying so hard to smooth things over.”

Mingxian felt it necessary to explain things clearly to prevent these women from thinking he was the kind of gentle, altruistic protagonist who would bother him with all sorts of trivial matters.

"Look! I killed the father first, then seized his property, and even forced the daughter of my defeated foe to be my maid. Isn't that the mark of a truly wicked person!"

Sylvia simply smiled and said, "It sounds like that, but you didn't do anything to Amagiri Haruka, and you even helped her prove her identity and get back Matthias's inheritance."

"How can we let this old man, who abandoned his daughter and beat her half to death, get away with it!"

Mingxian replied matter-of-factly.

Sylvia asked, "Beaten half to death? Why?"

Mingxian explained, "In the dark world, Matthias also has the name of Executioner's Blade. He secretly formed an alliance with Varda and others, wanting to summon a second meteor shower from a parallel world."

"After discovering her true identity, Amagiri Haruka came to find her biological father, uncovered Matthias's conspiracy, and successfully stopped him."

Mingxian raised his hand and pointed to the moon, which was just beginning to appear in the sky.

"Behind the moon lies a vast amount of Wanying Mine; that's where their last conspiracy took place."

"Therefore, Matthias beat Amagiri Haruka half to death only because of a little bit of fatherly affection, and did not kill her completely."

Sylvia rubbed her temples, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information.

However, she only grasped one key point.

"Does the star shower come from a parallel world?"

"perhaps……"

Mingxian thought for a moment and then said, "Anyway, I come from a parallel world."

Sylvia rubbed her temples, feeling there were many implications to this, and earnestly reminded her, "It's best not to tell others this casually. If it gets out, whether it's true or not, it will attract the attention of the Unified Enterprises Group."

Mingxian shrugged and asked in return, "Would you tell anyone?"

"of course not."

Sylvia answered immediately.

Mingxian nodded slightly, then said, "By the way, can the song as payment be performed here? It's just you and me here."

Just end it quickly.

He also plans to go to the moon to use the Universal Ore there to intimidate the Integrated Enterprises Foundation on Earth.

That was enough to make the world's conglomerates live in fear every single moment thereafter.

He also needed to make some preparations to prevent the corrective force from getting in the way.

Sylvia smiled sweetly.

"Hmm hmm hmm~"

On the rooftop, a gentle breeze mingled with Sylvia's soft singing, echoing in every inch of the air.

Her purple eyes, like the brightest stars in the deep night sky, gazed quietly and intently at the zither.

The melody, though improvised and unpolished, was like heavenly music, captivating even the most discerning listener and making them forget everything around them.

After a long while, the last note slowly faded away.

The little tune ended.

The air seemed to still retain that indescribable magic.

A gentle smile touched Sylvia's lips, her eyes sparkling with confidence and anticipation.

"This is a new song that's still being written. The lyrics haven't even been written yet, and nobody else has heard it except you."

Mingxian was slightly taken aback at first, then a complicated expression appeared on his face.

There was both surprise and genuine admiration.

Wow, girl, you sing so well!

"It's awesome!"

Mingxian praised softly, then couldn't help but joke, "I regret it a little. I should have listened to your song beforehand, so I wouldn't have wasted this opportunity to perform, which is all my own."

"How could we waste it?"

Sylvia's voice carried a hint of teasing as she winked at Mingxian, her eyes showing both mischief and delight.

"This is just a rehearsal, of course. The actual performance will be much more spectacular. You don't think I'd try to fool you with a piece that doesn't even have lyrics, do you?"

Not a Dragon Rider: Chapter 74 This is just a little joke

Seidoukan Academy.

In a deserted pavilion, Mingxian sat quietly, lost in thought.

He made a rare appearance today, just like when he was at Shuchiin Academy. Although he wasn't interested in classes, he still participated in every major exam.

Seidoukan Academy doesn't have any major exams.

However, Mingxian still attended an academic conference and published a paper, mainly about the properties of stellar force and the influence of human thought current on the universal element.

Although it was just a copy of the "spiritual energy production technology" provided by the system, which involved drawing the target before shooting the arrow, it still caused a sensation.

Falling meteor engineering is the study of all-encompassing elements and meteorites related to falling meteor showers.

Although there are still many unknowns about the working principle of Wanyingsu, considerable progress has been made in the research of Wanying ore containing a large amount of rare metals in meteorites, and it has been widely applied.

The sound of the string reveals part of the principle of the operation of the universal element.

This is undoubtedly explosive.

but……

To Mingxian, these were nothing more than trivial gossip, like the chirping of cicadas on a summer afternoon—noisy but ultimately harmless.

He couldn't help but turn his head and confide in the stranger beside him: "I feel like I'm being pulled tightly by an invisible fishing line, caught by a bad woman."

The princess, with her fiery pink hair, gave Mingxian only a fleeting glance before silently closing her lunchbox, her attitude cold and aloof, as if all the conflicts were none of her concern.

Sitting beside the princess, Tengoru Haruka responded with a gentle, spring-like smile.

"Did something unpleasant happen during your meeting with Miss Sylvia, Master?"

"Yao, you shouldn't keep calling him 'master'."

Upon hearing this, Yulis couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of Tengiri Haruka, her tone tinged with urgency.

She didn't have many friends, and Amagiri Haruka was the first real friend she made when she came to this school. In this lonely world, Amagiri Haruka's appearance undoubtedly added a touch of brightness to her life.

Her gentle nature and the unfortunate experiences hidden behind it made Euryth feel pity for her and regard her as a confidante.

Mingxian, however, seemed to ignore Yulis's advice and turned directly to Tianwu Yao, pouring out the bitterness in her heart: "That woman's level is just too high!"

“She deliberately showed off her beautiful singing voice and her charming figure, especially that ‘you saved me’ expression. For a few moments, I even had the illusion that she had feelings for me.”

Upon hearing this, Yulis retorted, "What woman would like someone like you who forces others to be her maid!"

"Hmph, as if you don't have a maid."

Mingxian didn't back down, responding with equally sharp words, like needles clashing against wheat awns, a subtle tension filling the air.

Euryth was speechless.

Euryth Alexie von Risfeld was a true princess.

Since the fall of the star shower, the world order has undergone tremendous changes, with national systems being significantly weakened and replaced by integrated corporate conglomerates.

Monarchies were restored in parts of Europe under the control of conglomerates of integrated corporations.

The monarchical kingdom of Lezetania is one of them.

Yulis is the first princess of this kingdom, a true princess.

Since she was a princess, she naturally had maids to serve her.

Eurythm whimpered and managed to utter, "That's different."

"That's a double standard."

Mingxian said coldly.

Tengoro smoothed things over, saying, "I have no problem with becoming the master's maid. It's just a job, and the pay is quite generous."

All the wealth that the top executives of the conglomerate had accumulated, both openly and secretly, ended up in Amagiri Haruka's pocket, instantly turning her into a wealthy woman.

Although their family runs a religious temple, after her mother's death, Amagiri Haruka still feels a little awkward facing her father, with whom she has no blood relation.
