According to legend, this desolate and scorched land was left behind by the Sun King who founded the Great Yin Empire after a battle with a powerful god, whose powerful divine energy has continued uninterrupted for thousands of years.

Building a city near such a desolate wasteland has no practical value other than symbolic significance in guarding the border. The imperial authorities didn't even bother to build a magic train station in the deserted city.

Because of this, the desolate city has become a veritable lawless place.

As soon as Yasuo stepped into this remote town, he felt a wave of heat, accompanied by a scorching sensation that seemed to kill all life.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Yasuo calmly surveyed his surroundings. The wide street was lined with low, single-story houses on both sides.

Most of the passersby were dressed strangely, some of whom exuded an aura of extraordinary power, and there were even many alien races with human bodies and animal faces.

As Yasuo entered the city, many people turned their gazes toward him, their eyes filled with scrutiny.

However, when their gaze fell upon the sheathless blade at Yasuo's waist, they subtly averted their eyes.

Clearly, Yasuo, armed with a sharp blade, was not a suitable easy prey for them.

Walking down the street, Yasuo spoke with great interest to the stone golem on his shoulder:

"My lord previously asked me to find criminal time travelers, but such people are indeed hard to find in the areas surrounding the capital, and I have been unable to complete my lord's task."

This trip to the desolate city might bring back two transmigrated criminals for our lord.

The stone golem on Yasuo's shoulder glanced around and slowly spoke:

"Go for it!"

With a smile on his lips, Yasuo skillfully crossed the street in front of him and headed towards an electronics district.

Actually, his main purpose in coming to the desolate city was not to capture criminal transmigrators, since the desolate city did not have a magic train station and transportation was not very convenient.

Furthermore, he has no connections in the deserted city, so he may not be able to confirm the identity of the transmigrated criminal.

His real purpose for this trip was to find a strong person to learn even stronger skills; capturing the criminal transmigrator was just a side effect.

......

At the Giant Audio Store at the end of the deserted city's electronics street, Atreus, who had just opened the store door, greeted the surrounding neighbors.

"Brother Zhang, you're opening the shop quite early today!"

"I heard that Xiao Li got into a university in Beijing. Is he settling in well?"

Good morning, Aunt He!

In response to Atreus's warm greeting, the surrounding neighbors also gave a warm welcome.

"Little Te woke up pretty late today. Did you stay up late again last night?"

"Don't think that Xiao Te is like you. He must have something important to do if he opens the door so late. Unlike you, who are always so irresponsible."

"Hey Te, what do you think of that girlfriend I introduced you to before? She owns three houses in the Undying City and collects rent from them."

The Undead City is gone? Oh, that's alright then!

With a friendly smile on his face, and after receiving responses from the surrounding neighbors, Atreus walked into the store.

The saying "rivals in the same trade" applies everywhere. In the electronics street, all the shops should be considered competitors. Even if they get along well on the surface, they don't really have any good feelings towards each other.

But this statement does not apply to Atreus.

This is not only because Arteris's audio store is relatively niche and does not conflict with most people's main business.

More importantly, before Arteris took over the audio store, the previous manager of the store had a high reputation throughout the electronics district.

After the former store manager handed the audio shop over to Arteris, Arteris helped the electronics district resolve several problems, so most people trusted Arteris and their attitude was naturally different from others.

After opening the shop door and cleaning off the dust in the audio shop, Atreus rushed into the warehouse at the back of the shop.

Anyway, under normal circumstances, not many people come to the store, and even if they do, they probably won't buy anything, so Atreus basically doesn't care about the storefront.

The warehouse, which was originally used to store goods, has been cleaned up, and a cutting board and a huge oven are neatly arranged on the table in the center.

After skillfully going through the process of kneading, fermenting, and baking, Atreus sat to the side, lost in thought as he smelled the gradually intensifying aroma emanating from the oven.

Atreus was originally an elite warrior of Mount Targon, but after climbing Mount Targon to challenge the Protoss, his body was taken over by the Protoss Pantheon.

Pantheon, the Celestial of War, was killed in battle against Aatrox, the Darkin Blademaster. Atreus inherited Pantheon's name and the divine power he left behind.

However, due to his hatred for the Protoss, Atreus did not use the name Pantheon, but continued to use the name Atreus.

His people were subsequently killed by Aatrox. In the battle to avenge his people, Atreus used the power of the War Protoss to sever Aatrox's arm that was wielding the demon sword, successfully defeating the Darkin Blademaster.

After his battle with the powerful Darkin Blademaster, Atreus, who inherited the power of the War Celestial Pantheon, came to this world of stars.

More than three years have passed since the time travel, and Atreus has gradually adapted to life after leaving behind the war and revenge, enjoying the ordinariness he once longed for.

He recalled his past dream: to open a bakery, become an excellent baker, and even the king of bread.

However, the housing prices in the desolate city were not low, and Atreus, who did not choose to use his powerful strength to gain benefits, was successfully overwhelmed by the housing prices.

Left with no other choice, Atreus had to accept the advice of his close friend, Steve Jobs, and take over the audio equipment store.

The previous owner of this audio equipment store was called Chief Qiao. Although he wasn't particularly powerful, he was an upright and generous man with a high reputation throughout the entire desolate city.

Just over six months ago, Steve Jobs heard about a girl named Aju and gave up his audio shop, which he had run for many years, to Arterius.

Atreus and the other neighbors offered their blessings to the departed Steve Jobs.

After Steve Jobs left, Atreus considered turning the audio equipment store into a bakery, but he had taken over the store for free, and all the audio equipment in the store was Steve Jobs's hard work, so he certainly couldn't just destroy it.

So he could only convert the warehouse into his own bakery and start researching bread making.

If I ever manage to save enough money, I'll open my own bakery and strive to become the king of bread.

However... Atreus glanced at the pile of baguettes in the corner, each as hard as a Titan's spear, and felt that his goal might be a bit premature.

Overall, Atreus is quite enjoying his ordinary life, at least for now.

"Ding!"

The crisp beeping of the oven pulled Atreus from his reverie. He quickly opened the oven and took out the freshly baked bread. The golden-brown bread had an enticing sweet aroma, seemingly completely different from his previous creations.

Atreus, beaming with delight, was about to place the bread on the long table in front of him when a loud bang, accompanied by a tremor in the ground, exploded in front of the audio shop, causing the goods on the shelves to tremble slightly.

Then, a deep voice rang out in front of the audio equipment store.

"Who is Atreus? Show yourself right now!"

Inside the warehouse, Atreus looked at the golden bread on the ground, and his eyes began to change slightly.

Chapter 138 Baguette and Dragon Slayer!

In front of the audio equipment store, a knight clad in silver-white armor, riding a wyvern, stood before the store and spoke again in a cold voice:

"Who is Atreus? Get out here right now!"

The owners of the surrounding appliance stores were terrified when they saw the two-legged flying dragon, which was over four meters tall and looked extremely ferocious.

"Atreus? What does he want with Atreus?"

"Riding a two-legged flying dragon in the city, isn't he afraid that patrolling guards will take him away?"

"Little Trump is in trouble this time."

Amidst the hushed whispers, in the shop next to the Giant God Audio store, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties mustered her courage and gritted her teeth to speak:

"Sir Knight, what business do you have with Atreus?"

The knight on the back of the wyvern glanced indifferently at the middle-aged woman and said coldly:

"A transmigrator named Atreus has committed a crime, and the higher-ups want to bring all transmigrators with this name back for investigation."

The middle-aged woman cautiously continued, "What if this has nothing to do with Atreus?"

"This is none of your business. All irrelevant personnel, get out of here!"

The attitude of the wyvern rider angered the middle-aged woman, who shouted:

"Arresting someone just because they have the same name? What kind of reason is that?"

"Most of the businesses on the electronics street belong to Lord Helong. If you want to arrest someone here, you should at least ask Lord Helong for permission first."

The middle-aged woman's initiative to step forward startled many people, who saw it as a good opportunity to offer help, and so they quickly spoke up:

"Lord Helong is the lord of the entire wasteland. You can't arrest people without his permission."

"That's it!"

"You are openly violating imperial law!"

Facing the numerous shopkeepers around who offered their help, the wyvern knight sneered:

"What is Lord Helong? He's just a local lord in a remote town."

"I am under orders from Earl of the Dragon to escort Atreus. In this land, I am the law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wyvern rider pulled on the reins, and the huge wyvern roared.

The visible sound waves instantly shattered large sections of glass in the surrounding shops, knocking people to the ground. Many people covered their ears with their hands, and blood slowly flowed from their ears.

After its roar subsided, the wyvern looked down at the crowd on the ground with greedy eyes, its corrosive sap dripping from its mouth and corroding the ground.

Gazing at the crowd groaning and covering their ears, the wyvern rider let out a wild laugh, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

"Hahaha! What a bunch of idiots!"

The reason why the wyvern riders dared to be so arrogant and disregard the lord behind these people was naturally because they had an even greater backer.

Not only was he loyal to Earl Flying Dragon, but this mission also involved many important figures in the capital. It was a joint operation by those important figures, and their target was several transmigrators.

At first, the important figures in the capital were cautious when searching for transmigrators with names like Ares and Kratos, worried that they might be hidden powerful figures.

However, subsequent screening revealed that the vast majority of these transmigrators were just ordinary people, with only one or two having relatively average strength.

Because the careful screening was too inefficient and yielded no results, the bigwigs began to lower their guard and decided to arrest all the transmigrators with the same name together and then conduct a collective screening to find the secrets hidden by Yin Qianyu.

In fact, such a choice was almost inevitable. The nobles' status as superiors for thousands of years, treating time travelers as mere tools, determined that the screening process would inevitably go to extremes.

It is not surprising at all that two-legged wyvern riders would engage in such rampant and domineering behavior.

Glancing at the still motionless audio shop, the wyvern rider sneered:

"Another coward who ran away as soon as he heard the name? There are so many wimps with that name!"

"Get him out of here!"
