Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

After A-Tui finished eating the shrimp, Lu Ye began to ask about the important matter.

"By the way, do you have any jewelry or anything like that on you?"

“Jewelry… I do have a necklace. Do you want it? I’ll sell it to you for a thousand… no, eight hundred runes. But let me make this clear beforehand: I tricked a woman out of it. Well, that woman was a bit strange, but oh well, at least she didn’t die on the roadside.”

"Okay, deal."

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

After confirming that the lobster vendor had nothing else in his hands, Lu Ye prepared to go back and report.

Just then, Lobster Bro suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"By the way, can you see it? It's the blessing sign next to the house."

“I can see it,” A-Tui nodded. “Can’t you see it?”

“I can’t see anything at all. It’s ridiculous that a small-time crook like me would end up in a place like this because of some guidance,” Lobster Bro said mockingly. “The people who arranged this are probably hopeless by now… I’m talking about the Golden Tree, who knows what the world will become.”

Back at the pavilion, after handing the necklace to the girl, she nodded happily.

"Yes, this is indeed the necklace that was stolen from me. Thank you, you two are my benefactors."

After the girl finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and exclaimed in surprise.

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Laya, and I serve Lady Tanis, the mistress of the Volcano Mansion. It is my responsibility as the recruiter to invite those with heroic potential to the mansion."

Laya said softly.

“You are strong, not only in combat, but also in your resilient hearts and courage to face your own kind with swords drawn. These are the qualities my master craves…”

"I would like to formally invite you both to the Volcano Mansion. If it is convenient for you, please take my hand and meet my master."

Lu Ye and A Tui exchanged a glance.

The opportunity is here.

The two men each took one of Laya's hands.

Then, darkness descended, and the teleportation spell was activated.

When I opened my eyes again, the scenery before me had completely changed.

A magnificent hall, a deep red carpet, and a somber color scheme.

The sudden change and rise in temperature caused a fine layer of sweat to appear on people's foreheads.

In the empty and silent hall, a faint, surging sound echoed—the sound of lava churning within a volcano.

Lu Ye's vision gradually focused.

Before me stood a pale-faced woman dressed in a nobleman's robe.

She sat in an armchair, with a huge oil painting behind her. The man in the painting had a somber expression and was leaning on a strange longsword.

Beside her stood a knight clad in heavy armor, his hands resting on a greatsword. Though he remained silent, his towering figure, over two meters tall, exuded an imposing aura.

"Welcome, Faded One, who has been invited here. Welcome to the Volcano Mansion."

Chapter 640 Becoming a Herrscher

“Since it was brought by that child Laya, it means you have the qualifications to become ‘heroes’.”

The woman said calmly.

“My name is Tanis, and I am the owner of this Volcano Mansion. You are to join the Volcano Mansion. Do you understand what that means?”

“They turned their swords on their own compatriots,” A-Tui said.

“That’s right, but our ultimate goal is to defeat the Golden Tree. The guidance of the Blessing, the arrogant words of the Finger, all of this is wrong… Since you are like-minded companions, I welcome you.”

"Laya, take these two to the guest rooms. You can use them freely from now on."

"Thank you, but I have a question."

"Please speak."

"How many Heralds are there in total? Since we're all comrades, I'd like to get to know them first, to avoid any misunderstandings later."

“We don’t have many comrades. Some soldiers go out to carry out missions, and sometimes they come back, and sometimes they die, so I can’t give you an exact number right now. There are only a handful of people left at the Volcano Mansion right now, and I think they are all near the guest rooms.”

“Then, please follow me.” Laya led the way.

The guest rooms are not far away.

Turn around, walk a few steps forward and turn left; the long corridor with a strong European style is at the end.

However, Laya did not walk fast. She was still hunched over, like a slow-moving old lady, only without a cane.

Pushing open the door, it's more like a living room than a guest room.

Divided by the roaring fireplace in the middle, two long tables were placed in the spacious room, with candlesticks on them emitting a yellow glow.

There were only three people in the room.

To Lu Ye's surprise, he recognized two of the three people.

These two are Diaros, whom I met in the Round Table Hall, and the girl I rescued from the Herrscher in front of Lienia Academy. She is also the person Diaros has been looking for. If I remember correctly, her name is Letia.

Lu Ye didn't recognize the last person.

The man sat in the corner, wearing heavy armor and leaning on a strange, hammer-like weapon, without uttering a word.

Diaros and Letia were both surprised to see Luye and Ame.

Then, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"You know them?"

"You know him too?"

"Didn't I say I was rescued? You were so angry that you weren't listening to me at all, right?"

Diaros decided to ignore his aggressive entourage.

He then turned to Lu Ye and A Tui, extending his hand in a gesture of goodwill.

"Ah, it's nice to see you all again. It seems you were invited as well, so we're companions now."

"Um... how did you all end up here?"

Lu Ye gently squeezed Diaros's hand, looking quite puzzled.

It's unbelievable that these two people would appear in this place.

Keep in mind that Letia was being hunted down by the Herrschers before!

"That's because Lord Diaros initially said he would avenge me."

In response to Lu Ye's question, Letia spoke up.

"At first, Lord Diaros, armed with weapons, marched all the way from the west of Windmill Village to the Volcano Mansion, clamoring for the Herrschers to come out and duel him. But as soon as he arrived, he was completely fooled by the sweet talk of that woman named Tanis, and became one of the Herrschers."

Lu Ye and A Tui looked at Diaros.

Diaros seemed somewhat embarrassed.

“Okay, I did join the Herrscher, but I had my reasons.”

“Ms. Tanis said… I have the potential to become a hero. True heroes deliberately choose the path of filth and uncleanliness. After hearing this, I suddenly understood. My clean hands do not resemble those of a warrior, so I am considered a disgrace to the Hoslaw family. But as long as I tarnish these hands and walk the path of a hero, I will become the glory of the family!”

“What glory? What kind of hero is it to be a thug?” Letia looked at Diaros with a disappointed expression. “I think it’s already quite an achievement to be able to survive in the borderlands these days.”

"So...you joined the Herrschers?" Ame asked suspiciously. "They almost killed your follower!"

“I know, and I am very grateful to you. But Ms. Tanis said that to be a hero, one must not be bothered by trifles, and besides, Letia is fine right now.”

"Is something wrong? I'm about to have a stroke and a high blood pressure attack."

Letia's voice was almost squeezed out through her teeth.

“Hey,” A-Tui whispered in Lu Ye’s ear, standing on tiptoe, “this person is beyond saving.”

“Alright, so speaking of which… why did you come here?” Diaros asked.

"You should know, right? Becoming a Herald, hunting Faded Ones, what if the Round Table found out about this..."

"There's no particular reason. It's because of some close friends that we're planning to go against the Golden Tree," Lu Ye said. "Oh, by the way, Laya and Ms. Tanis also said that we have the qualities to become heroes, so we came."

Diaros's expression stiffened, then he looked at Laya.

Laya, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement with Lu Ye's words.

Diaros's body trembled slightly.

“So—that old woman says that to everyone,” Letia said. “There’s still a chance to leave.”

"Yeah, yeah, you're different from us. We hunt down the Supreme Will, but it's strange that you hunt down your own kind just to prove yourself."

A-Tui echoed.

Two women were trying to persuade a newly joined herald to quit.

Laya hesitated, wanting to stop her, but didn't know what to say; her fingers were almost tangled together.

"enough!"

Diaros waved his hand and suddenly grabbed a red envelope from the table.

"I will prove you all wrong! I will walk the path of a hero! Hoslough will speak with my blood!"

After saying that, he quickly left.

Watching Diaros's resolute departure, Letia sighed.

"Is that guy an idiot?" A-Tui said. "His armor looks pretty flashy, but he'll probably just be all show and no substance in a fight."

“Be more confident, and drop the word ‘estimate’,” Letia said. “In terms of combat, Lord Diaros is no match, and he should know that himself.”

"Huh? Then why do it?"

"Is it because there's someone you want to pursue?" Lu Ye asked at this moment.

"Huh? Who is it?" A-Tu asked curiously. "If you can't catch up with people and don't have a horse, my suggestion is to run around Lake Yakir ten or so times every day to practice long-distance running."

Lu Ye didn't speak, but tapped on A Tui's helmet, and an empty sound came from inside.
