The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Chapter 109 The Rice Cooker Assassin (4,000 words)

night.

The refrigerator still hasn't been found.

Even though the other side had deployed the Knights of Light and activated the Monster Tracking spell, they still found nothing.

The streets were under martial law, and the only sounds coming and going were the perfectly synchronized footsteps of the Knights of Light.

A rice cooker was peering out the window, watching the procession of the Knights of Light.

He felt that if these people were calculated according to the world's power level, there would be at least five hundred of them.

Can it reach "wind level"?

This is really hard to say.

Behind them, a group of children were eating rice with roast chicken, the aroma filling the air.

They had never eaten such good food before. Five or six children ate with faces full of happiness, tears streaming down their faces.

At this moment, from the tunnel.

The oldest child ran back, holding the new task list and a piece of paper in his hand.

Let's put the task list aside for now.

The important thing now is the note, which he sent the child to retrieve from outside the city.

There's nothing he can do; he really can't leave the city now.

If they transform into human form, they'll be questioned; if they don't, they'll be arrested. The only option is for the child to tell Fatty Wang that they'll see him tomorrow.

To everyone's surprise, when they looked at the note, they discovered that Fatty Wang couldn't come either.

He also sent someone to contact him, the note written crookedly.

Although the document stated when they would contact each other, they actually agreed that writing it like that meant they wouldn't meet.

Damn it, is that fatso also blocked?

"Who gave you the note?"

Ning Du asked.

"They're from the Salvation Army!"

The child took the rice ball from Ningdu's hand and answered while eating.

"The Salvation Army?"

Ning Du thought about it carefully, but couldn't recall such an organization being mentioned in the information.

The child, munching on a rice ball, answered, "The Salvation Army are all good people; they are the only enemy of the Demon King."

Ning Du raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The only enemy? What about the Knights of Light outside?"

"Those are all degenerate lackeys. They've long been corrupted!"

The child gritted his teeth and said.

Ning Du raised an eyebrow slightly, then sighed, "You know quite a lot."

There's no way around it; it seems there's trouble on Fatty Wang's side too. But since he's with the "good guy" and isn't dead, we'll leave him alone for now.

I need to get through this myself first!

Opening the quest log, Ning Du began searching for those powerful monsters.

The child huddled close to Ning Du and asked, "Are you really a hero? Are you going to hunt monsters?"

"Yeah, don't you believe me? Who else would give you food if not the hero!"

Ning Du gave a perfunctory answer.

The child continued speaking while looking at the task list.

"The mission log is wrong; it's full of traps. There aren't any powerful monsters left in the wild; they're all just traps the Demon King uses to lure people. The Salvation Army has already suffered losses several times!"

"ah?"

Ning Du turned to look at the child and realized that he really knew quite a lot.

The child then pointed to the monsters on the quest list and said, "These large monsters are all in the Divine Grace Royal City. However, they are not the Demon King's subordinates, but rather the subordinates of the Fallen."

"Degeneration?"

This was the second time Ning Du had heard this word, and he couldn't help but ask.

The child answered, "It was the original God of Light, who was corrupted by the Demon King and became fallen. Even his former minions turned into demons, including those in the palace!"

The children showed disgust at the mention of the royal palace.

Ning Du asked in surprise, "Then the Fallen One isn't with the Demon King."

"Of course not, it's the Fallen, the Demon King of Hatred. But he's not much better than the Demon King. The Fallen eats children; he and his minions do!"

When the topic of eating children came up, the children were clearly terrified, their bodies trembling.

Ning Du's mind immediately went blank, sensing that something was amiss.

But his gaze eventually fell on the mission briefing.

"Are all these powerful demons located within the Divine Grace Royal City? Can you find them?"

The child shrugged.

"So what if we found them? No one can beat them. They're all incredibly strong!"

Ning Du drew his iron sword and declared loudly, "Just tell me. I'll handle the rest. I'm a hero!"

"So what if he's a hero? The last hero died too!"

The child expressed disbelief.

If Ning Du hadn't given them food, they wouldn't have talked to him so much.

"Huh? The previous one died?"

Ning Du felt utterly utterly horrified. So, it seemed almost none of the information he'd gathered outside was accurate.

What's going on?!

This training camp feels like it's turning into a survival mission.

No, he can't just sit here and wait to die.

We absolutely cannot stay cooped up here!

"You help me find these powerful monsters, and I'll go kill them myself. Whether I succeed or not is none of your business. If I do succeed, I'll give you extra food."

"Are you really going? Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm a hero!"

Even heroes can die.

"When a hero dies, another hero will rise. For every one I fall, a thousand more will rise!"

"Huh? Is the hero a cockroach?"

Ning Du immediately deflated, realizing he couldn't explain it to these kids.

"Just take me with you. I'll give you all the money I have!"

Ning Du didn't have much money left.

The main problem was that the bandits outside the city were genuinely broke.

I despise it.

Those bandits are so unprofessional! Couldn't they have robbed a few more before robbing us?

After searching high and low, all they found were a few silver coins in the rice cooker.

The child readily put it away and said, "Alright, come with me. I'll take you there!"

Without hesitation, they followed the children into the tunnel.

Surprisingly, the tunnel is quite spacious; even a rice cooker doesn't feel cramped.

"Did you dig this tunnel?"

Ning Du inquired.

The child replied, "No, it was dug up by the rat catchers first, then the rebels used it to expand it. Then the Salvation Army also fled from here. Now it belongs to us city searchers, and we dug a little more for it."

"Wow, you guys are amazing!"

We proceeded through the tunnel, making several turns, but we had no idea where we were going.

The rice cooker is making slow progress. If it weren't for saving some energy, Ningdu really wanted to turn it into something like an air conditioner.

At least I can get some cool air!

"arrive!"

Finally, the child stopped and let Ning cross on his own.

Ning Du then realized that he seemed to have left the slums of the Divine Grace Royal City and entered its core area.

"here it is?"

Outside, the lights were bright and the place was bustling with noise; it seemed like there was a banquet going on.

Ning Du secretly lifted a small part of the cover and discovered that they seemed to be in the garden of some nobleman, and what they were doing was just a patch of grass.

The child below answered, "Minister Qiu's manor. He's one of the monsters; I've seen him eat children with my own eyes. Can you kill him?"

"Which one is Minister Qiu?"

"That one that looks like a pig."

Ning Du looked closely and sure enough, there was someone in the crowd who looked like a pig.

He was fat and had big ears; his oversized clothes could barely contain his belly.

Ning Du was still hesitant because he hadn't yet realized that this guy was a demon.

But then, right afterward, during the banquet, a living person was brought out, and a group of nobles clapped and celebrated.

Then they all picked up knives and forks, ready to eat the living person.

Well, just by looking at this scene, you can tell that even if it's not a monster, it's not far off.

The rice cooker took a deep breath and prepared to launch its attack.

All he has to do now is make sure that the first shot hits the mark.

It crawls out from underground and then starts tumbling in the rice cooker; the rice cooker is secretly making its move!

The rice cooker encountered a huge red dog. Before it barked, the rice ball was thrown out to lure it away.

Thank goodness! Keep going! The rice cooker is trying its best to roll and bring Minister Qiu closer.

Fortunately, the allure of all nobles lies in the living people at the dinner table.

They are studying how to divide it and where to make the first cut.

This honor was naturally bestowed upon Minister Qiu.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. Thank you all for coming to my dinner. Praise be to the God of Light!"

Minister Qiu patted his belly and continued, "Although the world isn't as peaceful as it used to be—since the last hero died, even my lord was implicated—I think this is the happiest time. Living by rules and regulations is so restrictive. Look at us now, we can do whatever we want; that's life! Even the Demon King has to stay in his palace and can't leave. How can we be as carefree as we are! Respect for depravity, respect for corruption, respect for indulgence!"

Minister Qiu raised his wine glass high; the bright red liquid inside was obvious without even asking what it was.

Everyone burst into laughter. Some of them laughed so hard their mouths were wide open, revealing a mouthful of fangs, that they quickly closed their mouths with their hands.

After drinking the blood from the cup, everyone prepared to eat.

As for the living person on the table, they had already fainted from fright.

"Eat, eat, everyone! Don't be shy, eat whatever you like. Here, let me cut you an egg first!"

Minister Qiu bent down to strike, just then...

Suddenly, an iron sword shot out from under the table, piercing through Minister Qiu's stomach and embedding itself deep inside.

"what!"

Minister Qiu collapsed to the ground on the spot, and the others scattered in fear.

Then a rice cooker popped out from under the table.

Seeing that his iron sword strike had failed to kill his opponent, his arm immediately transformed into a black blade, which he then used to slash Minister Qiu's neck.

The slash was so deep that it nearly severed Minister Qiu's head.

Even so, Minister Qiu was still alive.

He quickly rolled over and got up, pulled out the iron sword and threw it aside.

Then its body rapidly changed, and two small wings grew from its back, one white and one black.

He now wears a pair of white shorts, and in his hand he has a feathered longbow and a black arrow with a heart-shaped arrowhead.

"Who is it? Who dares to assassinate me, Cupid!"

Minister Qiu aimed his bow and arrow at the rice cooker, and with a whoosh, the arrow shot out.

I almost shot the rice cooker with an arrow, but luckily it dodged it quickly.

The rice cooker was still rolling around on the ground.

Cupid, holding his bow and arrow, moved his plump body, trying to aim at the rice cooker.

"Take this arrow, and I'll turn you into a maggot that lives among excrement. So you dare harm me!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, several more arrows flew.

Upon hearing that the rice cooker would turn into maggots, no one dared to take it; they desperately dodged and narrowly avoided it.

Then he tossed a handful of rice at Cupid's face.

This move, the evolved version, will smear your bear face!

The moves don't have to sound good; the key is that they have to be effective.

In an instant, Cupid could no longer open his eyes and clutched his face, wailing in pain.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ning Du rushed forward and plunged another black blade into Cupid's chest.

Cupid gripped the black blade tightly, yet he still did not die.

His stubborn fat was like a natural armor, difficult to penetrate.

"You want to kill me too?"

Cupid exhaled a puff of black smoke at Ningdu.

Holy crap, there's also a bad breath attack.

Ning Du swiftly retreated, while Cupid drew his bowstring taut, needing not to look at anything.

The arrow in his hand grew larger and brighter.

"The arrow of true love, the arrow of a servant!"

Cupid roared, and the light reached its peak.

At this moment, Ning Du only saw the iron sword on the ground also emitting a light.

Could it be that—

Without hesitation, Ning Du picked up the iron sword immediately.

The next moment, a giant arrow of true love shot straight at us, as thick as a pillar, impossible to dodge.

"what!"

Ning Du could only hold the iron sword upright in front of him in an attempt to defend himself.

The next moment, the iron sword, radiating a different kind of light, actually split the incoming arrow of true love in two, until it vanished.

Did they block it?

How could it possibly block them all?

Ning Du never expected the iron sword to be so powerful; it truly lived up to its reputation as the legendary sword of the warrior.

Cupid seemed to realize that his killing move had failed and began to scream in terror.

"No, you can't kill me. I am—"

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Du plunged his iron sword into Cupid's neck once more.

This time, it seems to have truly hit the nail on the head.

The previous attempt to stab the heart was ineffective, but here, black and gold blood was gushing out.

Could it be that this guy really had his heart in his throat during the battle?

"I----"

Cupid wanted to say something more, but Ningdu could no longer hear him.

He watched as Cupid's corpse rapidly withered away, as if all his flesh and blood had been absorbed by the iron sword.

Ning Du frowned; the effect of this Hero's Sword was a bit too much—

Regardless, it's obvious that the Hero's Sword looks much stronger after absorbing Cupid's blood.

Not only were the rust completely removed and the damage repaired, but it also had a hazy sheen, making it look very strong.

"There's an assassin!"

Shouts came from outside again.

Ning Du felt it was about time, so he picked up Cupid's ring and his bow and quickly left.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Ningdu went back into the tunnel.

The child kept exclaiming in surprise.

"You did it! You really did it! You truly are a hero; you can absorb their power!"

"Let's hurry up, or the hero will be dead by now."

Pushing the children away, Ningdu quickly covered the turf and tamped down the soil underneath.

The rice cooker immediately disappeared into the hole.

Immediately, a group of guards from the Knights of Light arrived.

Looking around, the captain of the guard immediately noticed distinctive signs of battle.

Pupils contracted, and the captain of the guard immediately announced, "It was a monster attack! Those damned monsters have come to assassinate the kingdom's high command! This is war!"

'

With a wave of his hand, the mage behind the captain of the guard took out a handful of silver powder and sprinkled it around.

In an instant, the scene of battle appeared.

A fat Cupid wearing shorts, and a round rice cooker!

"This is the monster! The monster that was being hunted during the day! It even dared to launch a sneak attack! Capture it, life or death, the bounty will be doubled!"
