Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 61 The Light Bearer! They've come with ill intentions! (Seeking monthly votes)

The hunters' convoy drove slowly along the outer ring of the lighthouse, with crowds thronging both sides, all cheering and raising their arms for the heroes they respected and admired.

Among them, Mark was the most popular, and not only the common people, but even the upper class looked at him with reverence.

Erii sat in the car, enjoying the honor of being welcomed by a crowd of people. Looking at the cheering faces, she was also infected by the lively and harmonious atmosphere.

This place seems even more beautiful than she imagined?

until.

"The supplies that Captain Mark and his men worked so hard to bring back are going to be distributed to those stinking dusters!" The sharp, sarcastic female voice reached Erii's ears.

"They are parasites of the lighthouse, and their despicable genes should all be exiled," another woman said contemptuously.

"Living in the lighthouse with the Dust People makes me feel like the air is polluted," a man added to the discussion.

On the right side of the high platform, several upper-class people stared at the lower-class people with mockery and disdain.

Unlike the commoners who were responsible for repairs, moving, and odd jobs, the upper-class people all wore uniform, exquisite uniforms, and had clean faces, looking like high-ranking noble lords.

Erii's thoughts paused for a moment.

This place seems to be more complicated than she imagined?

Bing and Erica also vaguely heard the conversation above them, and both showed helpless expressions.

As hunters, the two knew that without the laborers, there would be no one to move the supplies, since the hunters' duty was to search and fight.

But that's the reality. The Lighthouse's genetic superiority system has led to irreconcilable class conflicts. The Dust People don't even have the right to reproduce, and the Lighthouse's leadership doesn't want inferior genes to continue.

Erii did not ask about this.

Neither Bing nor Erica offered an explanation.

"Look at the person next to Vice Captain Ran Bing!"

"Who is that girl? Is there such a person among the Hunters?"

"Wow, she's so beautiful! Her skin is even whiter than Ran Bing's!"

Soon, Erii, dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit, attracted the attention of both the upper class and the common people.

Her style is completely out of place with the cold and austere attire of the hunters, and she is on a completely different level from the disheveled laborers, making it hard for her not to attract attention.

At this moment, on the towering platform facing the setting sun.

Several men dressed in priestly attire surrounded a tall, effeminate, blond young man, looking down at the magnificent convoy with disdain and sarcasm.

"Thanks to the prayers of the Guild Master and the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow, they would not have been able to return safely otherwise."

"That's right, if it weren't for our Light and Shadow Society—"

Just as the group was about to start flattering her, the blond youth raised his hand to interrupt, his gaze fixed on the dazzling red hair, and said lazily, "Who is she? Go find out."

rumbling~

The convoy drove into the resource distribution room and transported various supplies into the warehouse in a categorized manner.

"Rest here for a bit, and I'll take you shopping when I'm done," Erica said, patting her chest.

Erii sat obediently in the corner, watching everyone busy. When her gaze fell on the heavy 3D mecha, she couldn't resist any longer. She ran over to Mark's personal mecha and examined it carefully with sparkling eyes.

The footsteps stopped beside her. She turned around and looked up along the long legs to see a face covered by a mechanical mask.

"How did you do that? Kill the Devouring Beast?" Fei Xue asked coldly, her short hair making her look even more capable.

Among the hunters, only she could see it clearly through the scope, and therefore she was the most shocked.

Erii's slash that saved Ranbing easily severed the snake dog's sizable body, which alone defies common sense.

Captain Mark could do it, but only if he wore heavy armor and used a greatsword. If he were just a mortal, he would be slapped to death on the spot.

The incredible leaps and combos that followed showcased speed and power that even Feixue, clad in heavy armor, wasn't sure she could pull off.

After replaying the events in her mind, Feixue realized that the mysterious amnesiac girl in front of her was definitely no ordinary person, and whether bringing her to the lighthouse would be a blessing or a curse remained to be seen.

"That's it," Erii said simply, waving her arm. "It's not difficult."

Feixue's lips twitched under her mask, feeling like she'd been tricked, but Erii's serious expression left her speechless.

"I want to open this," Erii said, pointing to the 3D model.

"You can't operate it. Only trained hunters are qualified," Feixue replied. "You don't even know how the lighthouse will be placed."

Erii remained silent, her interest undiminished as she touched and stroked the heavy body, especially the super Gatling gun on Erica's exclusive mecha. She pressed her eyes against the muzzle to look inside, her face filled with obvious fascination.

"I'll have my brother make one for me when I get back!" she muttered to herself.

Da da da!

The crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground grew louder as they approached.

A woman with a graceful figure and alluring gait walked in through the doorway.

She wore a semi-enclosed mechanical mask, revealing only her pert nose and rosy lips, her chin slightly raised, displaying her arrogant and haughty demeanor to the fullest.

The black, tight-fitting dress resembled a cheongsam, but from the waist down, only two pieces of fabric, front and back, covered the private parts.

Da da da!

The curtain swayed with her body, her twisting waist and hips moving wantonly, as if this were her own personal stage.

Large swathes of snow-white, rounded skin were exposed to the air, and the edges of the underwear that were digging into the flesh could even be clearly seen, attracting many eyes that were both afraid and greedy, who secretly feasted their eyes.

Accompanying the woman were a tall guard in mechanical armor, holding an electric scepter, and a priest in a dark red cloak.

Behind her, five or six soldiers belonging to the Light and Shadow Society's Law Enforcement Division rushed in and quickly surrounded Erii.

"The Lightbearers? What are they doing here?" Feixue muttered in disgust.

She immediately stood in front of Erii, facing the Lightbringer who had stopped, her imposing presence no less than Erii's.

"Get out of my way," the Lightbringer said coldly. "We're looking for her."

"What is it?" Feixue asked in an unfriendly tone.

"According to the investigation, she is a survivor you brought back from the ground. Her identity and intentions are unknown, and she may be carrying a dirty and deadly virus. I will take her into custody immediately and put her in the interrogation room for questioning." The Lightbringer proudly raised his chin.

"Hmph~ When did the Light and Shadow Society ever get involved in these things?" Fei Xue retorted without backing down, raising her chin in return.

The two masked women faced off in a tense standoff, drawing the attention of everyone in the resource allocation room, who stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on them.

Those around who were unaware of the situation looked at Erii, who remained calm, in astonishment upon hearing the term "survivors from the ground," and began to whisper among themselves.

This news could not be kept secret, and the dust people who participated in the operation had already spread the word a few minutes earlier. At this time, Erii was being discussed all over the Lighthouse.

"I advise you not to obstruct the Light and Shadow Society's work. If you mess things up, a mere hunter like you can't afford to bear the consequences." The Lightbringer's tone gradually turned cold.

"Mere hunters? Stealing people from our territory? Isn't the Light and Shadow Society being a bit too arrogant?"

Mark, Zaibing, and others walked out from behind, but it was the imposing instructor Elon who spoke.

"Lightbringer, Erii is our benefactor, the Hunter of the Wasteland. You have no right to take her away. How she is placed is up to the Lord of the City." Mark strode up to Erii, his burly chest pressed against the Lightbringer, and looked down at her with a firm and ruthless gaze.

Ran Bing, Mo Cheng, Jeff, and Erica immediately joined the group, forming a line in front of Erii, creating a wall.

"Don't be afraid, we're here." Ran Bing turned around and winked playfully at Erii.

Erii nodded calmly.

Hmm, this place... isn't bad?
