The Devil Inside

The value of rare seals is unquestionable. Arendelle is known as the city of academia and a holy place for engravers.

But even there, there are only a handful of rare-level engravers, and gold-level ones can hold their heads high, while the vast majority of people only have silver engravings.

The Heart of Ancient Oak, the greatest treasure hidden in the dead zone of Mill Town.

This thing is more than enough to exchange for a letter of recommendation to stay in Arendelle. Han Solo used an ancient oak heart as a bargaining chip in the game to be able to enter.

but now……

"It's a bit of a loss, isn't it?"

Han Solo put away the three seals, mounted Fox's black horse, and headed towards Little Leaf Village.

In the game, the Heart of Ancient Oak is just data and can be destroyed without any regrets.

When you hold it in your hand and feel its weight, you will feel a different mood.

Han Solo "fixed" them, pushed them into the Chrono Blade, and generally kept them safe.

Chapter 20 #020 The Curtain Falls

At nightfall, Han Solo returned to the Little Leaf Village stronghold.

The guards at the stronghold recognized him and were not surprised to see him carrying a dead body. “An adventurer’s body? You’re a very nice person. Send it to the morgue. Someone will collect it later. Don’t worry.”

Han Solo looked at the guard: "Is the village chief back?"

Before Leila and Rachel set off, they informed the village chief that he might be attacked.

The guard shook his head: "The commander has sent people to look for him, but there is no news yet."

"No body was found?"

"Not yet... I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous."

The guard also came from a poor family and had a very good impression of the village chief.

He sighed, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Han Solo thought for a moment, then said, "Sir, could you please ask the 'Messenger' to send a message? Ask Master Adrian Hawke to send someone over and say that his men are dead."

Adrian, who is it?

Hawke, is it the Earl Hawke who has been in the limelight in the past two years?

The guards hesitated. The messenger was not WeChat, but trivial matters were transmitted. It was not decent to use public resources for personal gain.

Han Solo added: "The sooner the better. This may allow the village chief to come back alive."

What do you mean?

Why do I feel like there's something else behind his words?

The guard nodded quickly: "I'll be there."

Just at this moment, a beam of light shot up into the sky from the depths of the Dead Zone, connecting the sky and the earth, illuminating the world as bright as snow!

This light is so holy.

Han Solo sat on his horse, looking up. An inexplicable force soothed his anxiety and melted his worries, and his heart was calm.

This is the power of the brave.

"Is that Mistress Leila?"

"It must be the hero showing off his power! She has found the source of the dead zone!"

“…Will I win?”

Guaranteed to win.

In the era of the emperor's fall, who claims to be invincible and who dares to claim to be undefeated in front of Leila?

Hengyu is invincible in the inner world, he is the only one in the nine heavens and ten earths, he fights alone in the forbidden area and sheds the emperor's blood, he walks in a foreign land with the people in mind. It is said that the emperor's road will not retreat, but it has not reached the point of sadness.

The one who triggered the death zone was a desperate and wounded demon, with a total attribute points of just over 500.

This level cannot be said to be too bad. It is more than enough to scare ordinary engravers. Trying to touch Leila is really seeking death.

The noise just now should be the second release of the holy sword.

In that state, Leila was invincible. The light she emitted alone was enough to make a demon king feel a burning pain. If she swung with all her strength, any demon king would have to be cautious.

You see, Lyra is Han Solo's brother, and they just fought side by side to conquer the Dead Zone.

Han Solo and Rachel knew each other a long time ago in the game, and this guy is incredibly strong, and he thinks that the three of them can have great chemistry as a team.

Sometimes it is difficult to make a decision. After many days and nights of thinking, Han Solo decided to bring his talent to Arendelle. He can't wait to become a teammate of the brave.

As for the wounded demon, I wish it all the best in Hades.

Han Solo returned to the hotel, sat on a chair in the lobby, and waited quietly for Leila and Rachel to return.

in this way.

Half a day later, in the early morning.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the hotel.

……

……

Lila and Rachel walked quickly into the hotel lobby, the dirt from their shoes staining the floor.

"...Han! Are you okay?"

They soon saw Han Solo sitting at the table and all breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Solo put a finger to his lips and whispered, "Keep your voice down. Just now, Adrian's people sent the village chief back. The doctor at the base checked him out. The village chief is not in danger of life. He just suffered a little and is still unconscious."

"Is the village chief okay?"

"Adrian is wise, otherwise, it would be another blood debt."

Han Solo stood up and led them to the backyard room of the hotel, where they saw the village chief lying unconscious on the bed.

"That's great... no one was hurt."

Leila breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side——

Rachel's face didn't look very good. The village chief's safe return was of course a good thing, but it also meant that this matter was exactly the same as Han Solo's speculation.

Adrian planned everything to force her into a dead end in this dead zone!

In Arendelle, they were incompatible, but the hostility at that time was more of "competition". No matter how despicable the means were, if they lost, they would only lose face.

This time, it is no longer a battle of honor, but a real conspiracy.

If Adrian succeeded, what would happen to her, Rachel? She didn't even dare to think about it.

"We can't just let this matter go."

Out of a simple sense of justice, Leila suddenly spoke.

Her beautiful face was serious as she continued, "Adrian, he has crossed the line. No matter what his reasons are, kidnapping and harming innocent villagers is an intolerable act. I will pursue it to the end."

Han Solo shook his head. "It's hard to hold him accountable. At this stage, he can easily distance himself from the matter. There's nothing we can do to hold him accountable."

Adrian finally backed down and didn't do anything to the end. After learning that his men had been killed, he decisively gave up his plan.

Not killing the village chief was a way to leave a way out for myself.

"I know."

Leila stroked her pink medium-length hair: "Make a note of it first. When the time is right, I'll settle his account!"

"..."

Han Solo glanced at her, terrified.

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

Han Solo brought the still warm food and while Leila and the others were eating, he briefly talked about the conflict in the small leaf forest.

The Blood-Roaring Sword was naturally brought back and placed on the table.

Han Solo felt a little ashamed and said, "I'm really sorry. My opponent was too strong and I was in a tough fight. The Bloody Sword was damaged in the fight. I guess... it can't be repaired."

As soon as Rachel entered the house, she noticed that the Blood Ring was damaged.

How is it possible to say that I don't feel sad and heartbroken?

This thing itself is a rare sword, and it was also a school admission gift given by my grandfather. It is very valuable and has extraordinary significance.

Normally, Rachel wouldn't use it in combat.

It was because this adventure in the Dead Zone was too important that she brought it along, hoping for a good result.

"…It doesn't matter. If it weren't for you, I think I would have fallen into the abyss."

Rachel smiled, but it was forced.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How about you, is the injury on your shoulder serious?"

"I was stabbed by that guy. It's okay, just a minor injury."

Han Solo touched the bandaged wound, calm and collected.

Leila also talked about the situation over there.

There’s actually nothing much to say.

The source of the explosion in the dead zone is the place with the most concentrated magic power in the dead zone. The fallen beasts instinctively move towards there.

Lyla and Rachel track down the fallen beast and soon discover the culprit.

Leila stood up and killed him in one strike of the sword. What's there to say?

Rachel looked at Han Solo and said, "Han, what are your plans next?"

Leila also said: "Come to think of it, I don't even know where you are from. Are you really an adventurer?"

Han Solo smiled slightly, "An adventurer? I don't think so. I came to Zethria to prepare for further study in Arendelle."

"I can apply for a recommendation letter for you! Teacher Monica has the right to recommend!"

Leila said immediately.

Han Solo's expression was calm, which was both reasonable and unexpected. There was no such scene in the game.

After conquering the Death Realm, they went their separate ways.

If you think about it carefully, the current experience has deviated greatly from the plot of the game. Apart from anything else, Rachel will definitely stay, and the feud between him and Adrian will become bigger.

And Leila's favorability towards him is definitely higher than during the game. This is an extremely wonderful start.

Rachel smiled and said, "Han, you can prepare your luggage after you go back. I will find a way for you to get the recommendation letter from Arendelle."

Chapter 21 #021 Adventurer A

Allendale, District 3.

This is a villa area. Those who live here are either rich or noble, or they are senior scholars who have made achievements in academic research and are rewarded by the city committee for living here.

The Darkwood family owns five properties here.

After Rachel reported her experience in the Death Zone, the family took it very seriously and sent someone to deal with it within a day.

To Rachel's surprise...

The person leading the team was actually Sebastian Ross.

Ross is the steward of the Darkwood family. He is not only responsible for managing the daily affairs of the Marquis's mansion, but also can handle important affairs on behalf of Rachel's grandfather when Rachel's grandfather is absent.

Many people regard him as an extension of the Marquis's will, and seeing him is like seeing the Marquis himself.

"Ms. Rachel, after a few days of investigation, the matter has become very clear. This is a conspiracy against you. If that brat from the Hawke family succeeds, the consequences will be very serious. The reputation of the Darkwood family will also plummet because of this incident."

In the conference room covered with soft carpet, the ever-serious Ross spoke.

He has a head full of white hair, but his voice is not hoarse or old.
