Man on the ark, forced to become king

The only mistake she made was that she didn't switch jobs because of resources; she was tricked into coming here and was forced to work illegally in the office for a long time without any relief.

However, all of that is in the past now. She has successfully found someone to help her with her work, so she won't have to work so hard anymore.

The situation will improve considerably once the doctor returns from Chernobog.

"Alas!"

Warfarin shivered, her whole body trembling. A bad feeling rose in her heart, but she couldn't find the source.

She had a vague feeling that she had been tricked again.

"Hey, look at my legs, when are you going to get them fixed? They don't look good like this, do they?"

Miss Blood Demon accepted being tricked quickly, since it wasn't the first time she'd been tricked.

What good could come from Kal'tsit coming to our door in person?

Besides, Kal'tsit saved her life this time, no matter what. So what if she was tricked? As long as the problem is solved, that's fine.

Having run on the ground for so many years, it's really hard to get used to not having two legs anymore.

"I'll solve it for you right now."

Kal'tsit shifted her position, standing before the gate of the Great Blessing, lifting Warfarin up by her armpits with both hands, soft golden light shining from a branch of the Golden Tree onto her petite body.

Vitality, inexhaustible vitality.

In an instant, Warfarin felt as if she were floating in an ocean composed entirely of life force, so dense that it almost put her to sleep. The vampire urge that had been well suppressed for many years was beginning to awaken again.

My lower body felt tingly and numb, like insects were crawling on it, but it was also very warm, making me reluctant to move.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she groggily opened her eyes and found herself standing perfectly fine on the ground. Her two legs, which Kal'tsit had torn off, had grown back perfectly, just like before!

"Hey, is that all?"

After jogging, jumping, and bouncing around several times, Warfarin finally calmed down. She looked around confidently, put her hands on her hips, and said loudly, "Tell me, what are your schemes and tricks in bringing me here? Tell me everything, and I'll take it!"

"follow me."

Kal'tsit was practically immune to this guy's antics, and led her toward the only remaining small building under the Golden Tree.

……

"You lost! Drink!"

Inside the office, Logos was firmly chained to his office chair by several thick iron chains, leaving only his head and two arms exposed. He watched helplessly as Scout and Ace ate and drank nearby, the aroma of barbecue wafting around him, making his hands tremble as he signed documents.

Beast!

Scout downed a can of beer, let out a burp, thoroughly enjoying Logos's murderous glare, and exchanged a thumbs-up with ACE.

Snapped!

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a travel-worn Kal'tsit stood in the doorway, staring blankly at the surreal scene inside.

Beer, barbecue... what are all these things?!

This is a rebellion!

"Mon3tr!"

……

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ten minutes later, a steel pipe was installed on the roof of the office building, with Logos, ACE, and Scout hanging on it in order, swaying in the wind. The same iron chain that had been used to tie Logos to the office before was used.

"Stop yelling! What are you two yelling about?! I haven't even had a bite, and now I have to dry up with you two!"

Logos was indignant and got angrier the more he thought about it, so he couldn't help but kick the ACE next to him.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

ACE glared and passed the kick to Scout.

Wow!

Kal'tsit expressionlessly pulled the blinds shut in her office, shutting out the three troublemakers who were drifting around in the wind.

Sitting in her office chair, Warfarin counted the pile of documents in front of her that completely blocked the desk. Her already pale skin seemed even paler.

"These……"

She looked at Kal'tsit with hopeful eyes, hoping to hear good news, even if it was just a little bit better.

However, what she was left with was Kal'tsit's unwavering departure.

"Study hard and do a good job. I'm leaving it to you now. I'm going to catch up on some sleep."

"The Yan Kingdom, the Year Beast?"

Crushing the golden leaves in her hand, Lin Lu picked up the crystal ball that had rolled to the corner of the pavilion and shook it twice.

As expected, a giant beast suddenly awoke at this time; it really was this second brother's doing.

I heard that this guy divided himself into 181 parts. After removing the few that have already been discovered and killed, he can't possibly find more than a hundred gods to help him, can he?

That would be wonderful if we could actually achieve that.

Unfortunately, this guy couldn't possibly have that much ability.

If they had that kind of ability, would they still be locked in a stalemate with Yan Kingdom until now?

"Is everything finished over there?"

Completely sobered up from the fright of the black sword, Ling leaned against the railing and slightly raised his head when he heard Lin Lu's mutterings.

"Oh no, Second Brother is still lacking. The first helper he found isn't very good."

Lin Lu didn't take the little trouble her second brother had caused too seriously. Judging from Melina's summary, the thing's strength was really not that great, and the benefits gained weren't that much either.

"With that sword, what difference does skill level make? In the face of life and death, everyone is treated equally."

The sword that slays gods—once seen, it's unforgettable, like a mouse that never forgets its cat. Although this analogy isn't perfect, it's true. Even Ling, who pursues a carefree life, can't ignore it. Whenever anything related to gods comes up, she can't help but think of that sword.

"Of course there is a difference. Those with a higher skill level might be able to take a sword strike."

As Lin Lu spoke casually, her gaze pierced through the clouds atop the mountain, taking in the myriad lights below, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Awaken those losers of the old era, you second brother, are you trying to plunge the world into chaos?"

"The world belongs to all people; it cannot be thrown into chaos simply because someone says so."

Ling shook her head slightly, then changed the subject and brought up another matter.

"What kind of place is your Golden Tree?"

"If you're curious, why don't you go and take a look? Anyone blessed by the Golden Tree is qualified to go."

"I guess it's just out of curiosity. I didn't do anything, but I got a huge benefit for nothing. I just feel uncomfortable and my mind is not clear. I can't accept something for nothing."

Tonight, Ling seemed less otherworldly and less carefree. When talking about the things she had been pondering, she would sigh deeply. At this moment, she was neither a fairy nor a god, but no different from an ordinary person.

Most people believe that debts must be repaid and kindness must be repaid, and she thought the same way.

Although she had specifically requested this blessing, she still didn't feel comfortable receiving it.

If Lin Lu had made some demands or offered sufficient compensation, she would have been more likely to accept it. However, Lin Lu made no demands whatsoever, leaving her at a loss as to how to repay the favor.

Even when they offered to find a job, they were blocked from doing so. Where can they go to seek justice?

"If you really feel bad about it, why don't you go and take a walk around the Golden Tree?"

Lin Lu smiled, offered a suggestion, and then said frankly, "I do intend to recruit you, Sister Ling, but forced relationships are never sweet. If it's not something you're willing to do, then it's meaningless."

“…I’ll go.”

After a moment of silence, he answered softly, took a step, and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds without a trace.

-------------------------------------

"The New Year is just around the corner."

Longmen, the Governor's Mansion.

Lighting a puff of his pipe, Wei Yanwu leaned back in his chair, seemingly talking to himself.

"Yes, it's much quieter this year."

Lady Wenyue brought over a bowl of tea, placed it on the table, and said something seemingly casually, causing Wei Yanwu's dragon-like face to immediately fall.

"Madam, do you want to call Huijie back?"

“It’s not just her, there’s also Xiaota. That girl has been gone for so many years and suffered so much outside, and you didn’t even bother to look for her. Now that she’s been found, she should at least come back for the New Year, right?”

"Was I not going to look for them? I was..."

Wei Yanwu opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't come up with a reason.

Whether there was a reason or not didn't matter. There was no reasoning with a woman, and he knew this all too well. He slumped in his chair and didn't take another puff of his cigarette until it burned out.

It's perfectly normal for his wife to want the children to come home for the New Year and for a family reunion, and he understands that.

However, despite understanding the situation clearly, things were still very difficult to handle.
