Chapter 197 Daedalus Street

With a touch of excitement, Fen Yu fully enjoyed this rare holiday.

Most importantly, having a robin by your side is a completely different feeling from being alone.

They arrived at a roadside barbecue restaurant with a wonderful aroma; the owner was a hearty and burly orc.

Upon seeing the two, he grinned widely and said, "Oh, aren't these Lord Xin Yan and Saintess Zhan Lu? Welcome!"

As he spoke, he deftly handed over two more skewers of sizzling, oily meat, saying, "These two are a free gift."

Adventurers need to train frequently and engage in intense battles with monsters, so they don't have to worry about gaining weight from eating too much oily food.

Robins no longer have to give up many of the pleasures they should enjoy in order to maintain their figure as idols, just like before.

Even if you eat a lot, a trip to the dungeon will burn off the excess energy.

So, when Fenyu smiled and fed her the roasted meat, the robin opened her cherry-like mouth without hesitation and happily ate it, with a little sauce still on the corner of her mouth.

"Delicious." She squinted, like a satisfied cat.

As they passed through a narrow alley and were about to enter the bustling East Street, Fen Yu's smile suddenly faded, and he let out a soft sigh.

"It seems there are always some flies that don't know how to read the room."

Before he finished speaking, his arm flashed and wrapped around Robin's slender waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

The next second, several figures dressed in black robes, exuding a chilling aura, silently emerged from the shadows of the alleyway, their poisoned daggers flashing deadly in the dim light as they pounced on the two.

"ah----"

The robin let out a soft cry, not out of panic, but because it was caught off guard by the sudden, powerful embrace from the burning feather.

She pressed her cheek against Fen Yu's firm chest, her hands instinctively gripping his collar. His refreshing and pleasant scent filled her nostrils, and an unparalleled sense of security welled up inside her.

She knew that he would protect her no matter when or where.

Facing the dagger coming from the front, Fen Yu didn't even look at it. While holding the robin, he simply casually extended his right index and middle fingers.

"Ding!"

With a crisp snap, the poisoned dagger was firmly clamped between his fingers, unable to advance an inch.

A look of horror flashed in the attacker's eyes. Before he could react, Fen Yu's fingers suddenly exerted force.

"Snap!"

The steel dagger snapped in two.

With a flick of his wrist, Fen Yu sent the broken blade into a streak of silver light, hurtling towards another masked man in black who was jumping down from the wall above the alleyway at an even faster speed than when it came.

"Pfft!"

The broken blade pierced the man's neck with precision, the sound of it cutting through flesh particularly jarring in the quiet alley.

Blood spurted out, and before the man could even let out a wail, he fell heavily from the air, twitched a few times on the ground, and then went still.

At the same time, attackers from both sides were already close in.

Holding the robin, Fenyu spun around suddenly, using his left foot as a pivot.

His right leg swept out like a steel whip with tremendous force.

"Bang!"

The attacker on the left was kicked in the chest, and he was sent flying as if he had been hit head-on by a giant hammer, crashing heavily into the solid stone wall.

The powerful force, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave, embedded half of his body in the wall, causing it to crack like a spiderweb around him. He immediately lost consciousness.

As she spun the robin around, she could clearly feel the explosive power in his arms and the steel-like muscle lines pressed against her body.

His large hands were firmly fixed between her waist and hips, the heat of his palms almost seeping through the thin dress, inevitably touching her soft and sensitive lower abdomen.

A blush quickly spread from the robin's neck to her ears; this unconscious intimate contact during the battle made her heart pound like a deer.

But she showed no aversion; instead, she buried her face even deeper, a reassuring and sweet smile playing on her lips.

Upon hearing the commotion, a squad of city military police patrolling nearby immediately led their men into the alley.

Then, they witnessed a scene that left them speechless: Yi Fenyu was leisurely holding the beautiful and charming Saintess Zhanlu, while at his feet lay several figures, their fates unknown.

The leading male member of the Ganesha clan was an acquaintance of Fenyu. He first waved for his men to tie up the men in black robes, then scratched his head and walked forward with a helpless expression.

"Xin Yan, it's those outsiders again—what a nuisance! Don't they realize they can't just kidnap the War Law Saintess as they please? A bunch of idiots who aren't even Level 1 adventurers, yet they dare to try and snatch her from your hands, Xin Yan? Who gave them the audacity?"

"Yeah, like flies, they're so annoying."

Fen Yu also looked impatient.

Those kingdoms and clans outside really have no self-awareness whatsoever.

There are indeed some powerful forces outside Orario, such as the Empire, the Fighting Kingdom, the Ocean Kingdom, the Magic Kingdom, and the School District. However, these powerful forces are aware of Orario's strength and will not easily provoke it. On the contrary, some arrogant kingdoms and clans, with the gods watching with amusement, send people to Orario to snatch people.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Mengmengka. I'll treat you to a drink next time."

Fenyu patted the young military policeman on the shoulder, then pulled the still slightly blushing Robin away quickly.

"Oh—my name is Mengdaka—"

The young military policeman named Mengdaka stretched out his hand, watched the two figures disappear into the distance, and let out a powerless groan.

"Pfft—you're a little naughty."

Hearing the resentful complaints behind him, the robin covered its mouth and chuckled.

"You don't understand."

Fen Yu said with a grin, "This is how we get along; we're friends."

A major feature of the eastern part of the city is the presence of many guild-managed facilities and large hotels.

In the distance, towering buildings such as a circular arena and luxurious hotels built of red bricks and tiles stand, this area perhaps has a more festive, touristy feel to it.

The robin was clearly in a great mood; she bought many things along the way, including beautifully packaged candies, cakes that smelled tempting, and a basket of fresh fruit.

She was carrying large and small bags, which were obviously meant to be given away.

Fen Yu naturally knew who these gifts were for.

He followed the robin, and the two walked through a small alley, turning several corners, before finally emerging from that bustling area.

Stepping out of the path, the maze-like street unfolds before your eyes in one breath.

"Daedalus Street"—a sprawling residential area that has completely forgotten its order, having undergone several zoning changes by a designer known as "the eccentric".

The stone buildings, winding staircases, and narrow alleys intertwine, creating a solemn atmosphere with multiple layers, truly making it an "underground city" existing on the surface of the earth.

Anyone visiting for the first time here will feel completely disoriented.

The two walked together into the entrance of the maze street.

First, a staircase extends upwards, then the path is blocked by a protruding building room.

In the darkness and intricate narrow passages where sunlight never reaches, the dim yellow light of an old magic stone lamp shines.

Along this chaotic road, you can see street residents whose clothes are not very neat. There are women vigorously washing clothes by the well, and old men playing chess intensely by the roadside.

The robin was clearly not a first-timer here; she navigated the intricate paths, so complex that even top adventurers would get lost, like a bird flitting through the forest.

Tifa had always accompanied her here before, but this was Fenyu's first time setting foot in this place, so she looked around at this place, which was known as "..." with some curiosity.

A unique neighborhood known as the "Maze on Earth".

After walking countless paths in all directions, the robin finally stopped in front of a building.

Nestled deep within the maze-like street is a somewhat deserted wooden "church".

The church is quite large, with a wide open square in front where the fountain is broken and dry, and the church itself seems to be squeezed by the surrounding uneven buildings, yet it stands stubbornly.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door and entering the church, one is greeted by a vast space about ten meters wide.

On the left and right walls, there are several doors leading to different rooms, and in the distance in front, you can see a simple altar.

Several tiles on the floor were broken, weeds grew out of the cracks, and the ceiling was high, with a few rays of sunlight shining through the broken stained glass windows, forming mottled beams of light.

There were also several long wooden chairs around, piled up haphazardly like building blocks.
