"On the other hand, it doesn't matter how many times a person throws the coins. The more you throw, the higher the chances. I heard that people who are really ready to make a wish come with a bag full of coins," Phil continued to shatter the legend.

“Even the romance is ruined,” Athena said helplessly, but the two people next to her still took out coins to toss in.

"I'm very sorry to have disturbed the ladies' enjoyment," a strange voice suddenly came from the side. Only then did everyone realize that a cat-like beastman was standing to the side.

He was wearing a suit, which didn't suit his temperament and instead gave him the look of a villainous buffoon. Behind him stood five young orcs of other races, who looked much stronger than him.

Although these people's clothes and appearances were very different, they all had red ribbons tied around their arms. When they saw Senju and the others turn around, the cat-headed man let out a sly laugh.

"Is this someone you know?" Tiathe asked Phil, looking at the person who had suddenly run out, but Phil shook her head. "No, I don't remember her."

“We’re surrounded,” Nephren said softly. Then everyone looked at the alleys next to them and found that there were two or three orcs guarding the entrance, sealing off the small square.

"Who are you?" Phil stepped forward resolutely and asked, her voice trembling slightly. The cat-man opposite her brandished his cane. "We are the Extinction Servants Knights."

"Kill them! Kill them!" the henchmen shouted. Aesya was quite helpless when she saw this. "They actually exist."

Thousand Hands watched these suddenly appearing orcs from the side. To be honest, he had a very good impression of them. They all seemed very useful, so for some reason, he ended up with a raw fish in his hand.

"Hey, you cat over there, want some food?"

"Fish," Senju suddenly joked during the tense moment, leaving the group of people around him speechless.

What's even more frustrating is that the cat suddenly ran over, but when it realized it had actually rushed out, it quickly went back. Thousand Hands regretted not putting the fish in its mouth.

"Ahem, Miss Philocrubia, for the sake of these filthy, featureless friends, could you please accept our invitation?" After scrambling back to his subordinates, the cat-headed man regained his arrogant demeanor and shouted at Philocrubia.

"What a strange way of speaking," Tiathe said, quite disappointed with the other person's performance. She had thought it would be like a scene from a movie, but unfortunately the actors were too clumsy.

"What a failed attempt at showing off," Athena was also very disappointed, especially by the embarrassing scene the cat had just witnessed, and now it was making such a reckless sound.

"Hehe," Thousand Hands chuckled, glancing at Fei'er beside him, "Is it no problem to evaporate all these people?"

“It’s best not to do that,” William said, picking up a few pebbles from the ground. “Leave the rest to me.”

"What arrogant and stupid featureless creatures! Did you really think I'd fall for your trick?" The cat glared at the two men, then waved its hand. "Go, grab them."

"Alas, what a pity," Thousand Hands said as he watched William appear, as if he were seeing his own cattle, sheep, and horses run far away, and he couldn't help but mourn for them.

“Sigh, I was thinking of talking to you guys first,” William waved his hand helplessly, and a pebble knocked down the orcs who rushed at him. “Well, this is much simpler.”

"Who...who are you?" Cat-headed took a step back in fear, then turned his gaze to the roof on one side. William waved his hand again, and an orc holding a gun fell down from the roof.

Senju was terrified upon seeing this and pulled out a pistol for courage. William looked at the cat with a helpless expression, "Please be more professional, you're showing your murderous intent."

"You were watching us with such enthusiasm while we were eating. I thought you were gathering your men, so I wandered around in a conspicuous place for a while. Sure enough, you found me here very quickly," William said casually, as if he had everything under control.

"Is that so?" Senju asked from the side, not sensing any killing intent at all. "Speaking of which, why did they come looking for us? Was it just for Miss Fei'er?"

“Hmm, they probably want to kidnap Phil to use as leverage in negotiations with the mayor, or use her as leverage in negotiations with their sponsors,” William said after thinking for a moment. The cat-headed man opposite him also seemed surprised, and the orcs on the ground started arguing.

"So, you're using me as bait?" Phil stared at William in disbelief. William nodded. "That's right, because I have something I want to talk to them about."

“To be honest, I want you to betray the people behind you,” William said, waving a pebble in his hand. “There must be mercenaries among you. Your foolish employers have made you suffer unnecessarily, so it’s time to go your separate ways.”

Several orcs visibly wavered, but one orc pulled out a pistol from his pocket and aimed it at William. Thousand Hands noticed this and fired a shot, only to find that the orc's gunpowder gun had been shot down.

Just as he was congratulating himself on his marksmanship, blowing on the gunpowder smoke, Nephren gently tugged at him and pointed to the cat-headed man next to him. He was standing there stiffly, his hat nowhere to be seen.

"Huh?" After looking at it, Senju immediately put the gun away and started whistling.

"By the way, the stakes in this deal are your personal safety," William chuckled maliciously. "Whether this problem can be resolved perfectly depends on your attitude."

“William looks like a bad guy,” Tiathe said, watching William’s performance and feeling that he was the villain in a movie.

“After all, they are the most terrifying human race in the world,” Asya praised from the side. Thousand Hands, who was beside her, took out his pistol again and aimed it at the group of people. “Don’t worry, my marksmanship is excellent, I definitely won’t hit you.”

Thanks to William and Thousand Hands' persuasion, things progressed quickly, and the orcs readily agreed to William's proposal, revealing the sponsor behind them.

Incidentally, they also submitted evidence that their employer had instructed the Knights to engage in criminal activities. William handed these over to the puppet police who had run over, leaving the orcs and the mayor to discuss them.

The orcs here are not all members of the Knights Order, but having lost their leader and a group of accomplices, they should be unable to cause trouble like before, and there's no need to worry about the mayor assassinating them. Thus, Grayrock Skin's mission was successfully completed.

Chapter 282 The Incident Ends

"Slap!" A crisp slap rang out from the side. William had been slapped again. Phil, standing next to him, held her hands with tears in her eyes and accused him, "Although I am very grateful for your help, I still cannot accept this method."

“Yeah, that’s true,” William, who had been hit, didn’t complain. After all, Phil’s behavior was honest and frank, she worked hard and diligently, and she had no concept of deceit or treachery in her mind. Seeing such a scene today must have been a blow to her.

Thousand Hands quickly took a few steps back, but what happened next made him realize he had been presumptuous, because after Fei'er finished hitting someone...

Then, blushing, she hugged her stomach and said, "Besides, you touched my stomach the first time we met."

"Huh?" William looked bewildered. What was there to care about touching his stomach? However, everyone around him except for Senju looked at William in surprise.

"Stop pretending," Phil shouted angrily when she saw William looking bewildered. "For wolves, the belly is the most sacred place. Letting someone touch your belly means you have given everything to that person, and you can't even reveal that to your own brothers."

"Huh?" William looked at the other party helplessly, looking like a fool. Senju next to him was also very surprised. He thought to himself, "This is almost like a dog. No wonder they had to use weapons back then. Luckily, I didn't run into it."

"I'm sorry, I've made a lot of mistakes. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but at least let me apologize," William thought, realizing he needed to be more careful in the future, as the customs here were clearly different from those of humans.

"I've calmed down since what happened earlier, so I'm willing to accept your apology, but don't misunderstand, I still hate you," Fei'er said haughtily from the side. Her style was constantly changing.

"Thank you all for today. Come visit again sometime," Fei'er said to the people next to her before leaving.

“Well then, let’s go. You need to go back to the warehouse now,” William turned to look at the group, but his voice trailed off as the ladies beside him stared at him with cold, indifferent eyes.

“Yes, let’s go back,” Chtholly said, looking at William with half-open eyes, her melancholy expression sending a chill down one’s spine.

“I thought I knew the technicians all along, but this is really unbelievable,” Asya said with a smile, though her lips kept twitching.

"Let's hurry up and leave, the airship tickets are almost sold out," Nephren's voice was much colder, only Tiathe was angry for a different reason, "I have so many places I want to go."

"Why are they doing this?" William asked Senju, completely baffled. Senju was equally puzzled. "I don't know either, but they handled things perfectly just now."

"Huh?" Three cold gazes came from the side, and Senju quickly changed his words, "Ahem, it's nothing, let's go."

As Senju was about to leave with the others, Tiatra suddenly ran back, threw a coin into the well, and stood beside it silently making a wish. This reminded Senju, who slowly retreated to the back of the group.

After everyone left, Senju swallowed the entire plaza behind him in an instant. Then, Senju discovered that he had gained a new ability called "Fairy Wish," which allows him to grant a wish using a thousand items. The higher the value of the items, the better the wish.

Although I feel the exchange rate is a bit unfair, I still think I can use this to exchange for some things in the future.

The group then headed towards the dock. On the way, Chtholly actually struck up a conversation with William, asking, "Why did you choose that method?"

"Hmm?" William was slightly surprised that Ctholly had taken the initiative to speak to him.

“Besides using secluded places to lure them out, aren’t there many better ways? And all your reasons are so absurd,” Chtholly looked at William, puzzled.

“I’m not confident about many aspects. What I just said was based on my past experience,” William said easily. “As long as I analyze the situation and observe the other party’s reaction, I can quickly figure out their strength.”

"How did you manage to understand all this?" Chtholly looked at William in great surprise. This man not only had combat prowess, but also strategy, and he could read people's expressions and deduce the whole situation from the smallest details.

“Sigh, those were chaotic times. As a prospective hero, I was implicated in other people’s affairs every month,” William sighed, then laughed. “Fortunately, in the end, I could even dodge knives while sleeping and could identify poison by instinct.”

“What’s so funny about what you’re saying?” Chtholly looked at William helplessly. William calmed down as well. “After all, I survived. If I died, I wouldn’t be able to laugh anymore.”

“Alright, we’ve arrived at the dock. You should hurry over there,” William glanced to the side. “The people who came to pick us up have also arrived.”

"Who is he?" Chtholly asked, looking at the rabbit tribe member standing by the roadside. William, however, didn't want to say more. "Senju and I have already made an appointment with him. Don't worry, we might go back sooner."

"Oh, come back so early. I'm still waiting for your cake," Chtholly said without asking any further questions.

Looking at the dock ahead, Senju took out the Holy Sword and distributed it to everyone. Then the four of them said goodbye to the two and continued towards the dock.

"Good afternoon," Baronie said as he approached the two after the fairies had left. "The Great Sage is waiting for you."

“I understand,” William replied, then followed Baronny with Thousand Hands toward the Palace of the Great Sage.

Upon arriving at the magnificent palace, the two met with Swan, who was sitting there seemingly waiting for them. "Oh, William is already here. We'll go to the Black Candle Master later to discuss the relocation."

“Oh, I thought you called us here to talk about the Holy Sword,” William said lazily to Swann. “You’re taking your time, even though you were acting like this place was already very dangerous.”

“Well, since there’s a better place, of course I’ll choose that one,” Swan said, opening a white book on the table. “The last exploration…”

I've already seen it all, and it's a wonderful world over there! So I've decided to go see it for myself, and also send people to be stationed there to explore it slowly.

“That’s a good idea, but there’s no food or anything over there. Almost all life on the world has gone extinct,” Thousand Hands reiterated the issue, but Swann didn’t seem to care.

“That’s not a problem. Among the members we’ve sent are mages who specialize in plant magic, so we can solve the food problem quickly,” Swan said sternly, then added with some concern, “It’s just that if problems arise on the floating continent while we’re away, that would be troublesome. We need to discuss this with Black Candle Master.”

Chapter 283 Heading to Island Number Two

“Indeed,” William nodded after a moment of contemplation. “After all, the entire continent is supported by the two of you. It would be troublesome if problems suddenly arose.”

“That’s right,” Swan agreed wholeheartedly. “So while I’m exploring, you can stay on the floating island and help me handle any unexpected situations.”

“Tch, I don’t want to be here,” William said disdainfully. “Besides, this place has been around for five hundred years and nothing much has happened. I’d rather stay in the warehouse.”

“Okay, but someone will be looking for you if anything happens,” Swann said to the maid beside him before William could reply, “Go prepare the airship, we’re going to Island Two.”

“Hey, I haven’t agreed yet,” William shouted, but Swann still acted shamelessly, which made William quite helpless.

"Oh, right, Great Sage, I found something," Thousand Hands opened a rift in space, revealing the cube-shaped figures moving inside. He asked with some confusion, "Are these puppets? They look very strange."

"No, this is the result of the space storing the beasts. Are those beasts transformed from humans?" As Thousand Hands spoke, Swan's face became more and more serious.

Then he said decisively, "No, these must be humans who were devoured by beasts in the past, and they have become like this over a long period of time."

"I see," Senju wanted to continue, but seeing the other party's dignified and oppressive gaze, she swallowed her words and stopped talking about the matter.

Seeing that Thousand Hands was so sensible, Swann patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Speaking of which, my airship is pretty cool too, it'll give you a big surprise in a bit."

“They’re all pretty much the same shape,” William said somewhat nonchalantly, then looked at Swann’s white cloak. “Is it like your cloak that’s been worn for five hundred years? What kind of weird quirk is that?”

“Don’t talk about it like it’s a disease,” Swann waved his hand excitedly, shaking his white cloak. “This is my soul, and I won’t change it even if a thousand years pass.”

William chuckled softly upon seeing his reaction, and then the Queen Bee's maid's voice came through, "The airship is ready and can depart at any time."

“Come on, let’s go to Island Two to see some old friends,” Swan said, leading the way. A moment later, the three of them saw an airship docked at a separate pier.

Compared to Senju's airship, Swan's airship was more like a spaceship. Under the lights of the dock, it was a white main body with a strong sense of technology, and blue cylindrical drives on both sides with decorative propellers. However, it should also be equipped with powerful magic, as it was glowing at the moment.

Looking at this impressive aircraft, which is tens of meters long, if Senju hadn't known beforehand that it was an airship, he would have definitely thought it was a real spaceship.

"Oh, it looks really cool. It must be super fast," Thousand Hands asked excitedly after watching for a while, then saw Swan's embarrassed expression. "Ahem, it should be the fastest of all the airships."

"Hmm?" Senju was puzzled for a moment, then pointed to the two drives on either side. "Those should be equipped with powerful magical thrusters. The propellers and such are just for show."

"Ah, let's hurry up and board the ship," Swan ignored Thousand Hands and turned to greet William warmly. Thousand Hands felt a little strange, but still followed the two of them onto the ship.

After boarding the spaceship, the three sat on the control tower at the top of the airship. Through the surrounding glass, they could see a vast landscape. Once everyone was seated, Swan shouted the order, "Full speed ahead!"

Then Senju suddenly felt a surge of force, and then saw the scenery outside the window begin to move. "Oh, it feels good to be accelerating!"

However, after a while, Qian Shou yawned. Why hadn't the scenery around him changed much after walking for five or six minutes?

Looking at the two people beside him, Swann stood imposingly to the side, gazing at the scenery outside the window, while William lay lazily in his chair, dozing off.
