Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

Hearing this, Xiling stroked her chin inwardly, seemingly pondering for a few seconds before tentatively asking, "Uh~ Remember to cremate next time?"

God the hell cremation.

Roman felt the heavy, sad, and self-blaming emotions he had just built up deflate like a punctured balloon.

He was about to retort, "What is all this nonsense?!", when Xiling spoke first.

"Don't overthink it. Living a good life is more important than anything else. By the way, do you still want it or not?"

After hearing the other person ask so many times whether or not he still wanted Roman, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so conflicted about whether or not I should go?"

"Nonsense, if you don't want it, I'll take it so you won't leave it lying around. If you want it, I'll give it back so I can slip away. As for your little problems, who cares! I've already taken care of everything!" Xiling gave the other person the middle finger without any politeness.

Roman was speechless after being rebuked. After a moment of silence, he asked, "So, do you think I want it or not?"

“My suggestion is—yes,” Xiling said earnestly.

"......Why?"

"For Ritsuka, for Mash, and for Chaldea."

Xiling spoke up under Roman's questioning gaze.

"Your great act of saving the world is certainly worthy of everyone's respect, but once the world no longer needs this savior, then your power will pose a threat to them. Do you understand what I mean, Roman?"

Xiling looked directly into Roman's eyes.

"Even if you can't achieve the great feats of the past with 10 rings, you are still comparable to a god to human magicians, and even more unbeatable."

"You mean..." Roman's voice sounded uncertain.

"Shh," Xiling put her hand to her lips.

"Let's not talk about things that are not conducive to unity. Being prepared is the best policy."

“...You’re right.” Roman reached out and took the ring from Xiling’s hand.

If the things she doesn't want to see really happen, then Ritsuka might only be able to rely on herself.

"Alright, I'm leaving now that I've delivered the things. Goodbye." Xiling stood up and walked towards the door without any hesitation. After waving to Roman, she disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye, leaving Roman standing there holding the ring.

......

The evening celebration.

"Holy crap, is it really that extreme?!" exclaimed one of the adventurers.

"Awesome! Awesome!" The soldier kept clapping.

"Is it really that powerful? I think it's just average," said a certain tactless archmage.

"How much do you think I could sell this for back in our world?" asked a witch whose eyes were practically shaped like gold coins.

"It's hard to say," the savior lady replied seriously, looking at the item in the witch's hand.

"So delicious, so delicious! Everyone should try some!" A foodie lady was enjoying the festival's delicacies.

"I'll take these back and give them to those two girls. I wonder if they'll like them." The former wheelchair-bound woman held up a few unusable items, intending to take them back to her friend.

Danheng was also picking out local specialties. After all, he had come to a new world, and it would be a pity not to bring something back with him.

As time passed, the celebration was coming to an end, and the people in the chat group looked at the two goddesses who were being worshipped by everyone.

A proud figure, chest puffed out.

He faced the crowd with a smile.

As the celebration came to an end, the two goddesses returned to their seats, surrounded by the crowd.

The celebration has now come to an end.

As she was about to return, Xiling took out a camera and smiled at everyone.

"If we're talking about keeping as a memento, photos are definitely the best."

Everyone had gotten used to Xiling being able to pull out all sorts of strange things.

Just then, two girls from Chaldea arrived and were invited by Xiling to take a picture. As soon as she finished speaking, a certain flower magician appeared, and then Gilgamesh appeared out of nowhere.

Finally, a photo of 12 people and a beast in the same frame was produced, and everyone had a piece of the photo.

After the two Chaldeans expressed their gratitude once again, everyone in the chat group returned to their own world.

Task settlement.

Everyone receives 2 points.

Chapter 103 The Corpses of the Dead Gods—Ancient Gods

City - Carso

Magic Society Quest Hall.

Xiling returned to the work hall where he served his loyal subjects. A receptionist in the hall smiled brightly as soon as she saw the frustrated hero.

"Hey! Xiling, you're back from your mischief outside?"

"Your lips are as sweet as honey." Xiling gave the other person the middle finger without hesitation.

"Oh, how annoying!" Vera cupped her fair cheeks in her hands, looking like a shy girl whose secret had been exposed. "I was just expressing my longing for you~"

"What an awful person you are!" Xiling said irritably from the front of the platform.

"I'm so excited because I haven't seen my good friend for a few days~" Vera winked at Xiling and made a heart shape with one hand.

Xiling's eyes widened in terror. "Let's get this straight, I'm not helping with the food tasting. Let's talk about something serious, okay?"

Vera instantly dropped her shy demeanor and sighed deeply, "Ah... that's right, you are the esteemed Swordsman, while I—" she drawled, "am just an ordinary receptionist struggling to make a living in this noisy world. It seems there's already an insurmountable chasm between us, a chasm called class... Vera has truly... overstepped her bounds." She picked up a piece of velvet and pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Yes, I am the esteemed swordsman. You, a mere receptionist, dare to try and establish a connection with me? Hand over the mission now, or I'll show you what a mastermind is!" Xiling said arrogantly, hands on her hips.

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency Swordholder, I, the humble Vera, am at your service without the slightest negligence."

Vera tapped on the front desk, and a projection appeared. She gently tapped on it.

Vera spoke as she clicked.

"There is indeed a mission here that meets your requirements, but... it might be very dangerous."

Xiling raised an eyebrow, naturally not immediately saying she had no problem, but instead asking, "What mission? Tell me about it first."

Vera nodded. "It's an investigation mission, and its origins are somewhat...bizarre." She gathered her thoughts briefly and began to speak calmly:

"Southeast of the city of Calso lies a small town with a population of about 40,000, called Moonlight Town."

"About two weeks ago, a disease of unknown origin suddenly broke out in the town. The symptoms were peculiar, with patients experiencing unexplained physical changes, extreme mental confusion, and even collective hallucinations. The local doctors were helpless, and after initial investigation, the lord and the town council pointed to Moonshadow Lake, the only source of water they depended on for survival, as the prime suspect. Therefore, they issued an emergency aid request through official channels in the magic society, specifically seeking high-level healers, potion makers, or priests to come."

The Magic Society is the largest organization in the world besides the Overlord. Of course, an organization must have countless departments. For example, there is a department called the "All-Knowing Society" in the Magic Society. Its founder is one of the seven people who founded the Magic Association. The All-Knowing Society takes on all sorts of miscellaneous tasks. It is basically no different from the Odd Jobs Shop. This is the place where Xiling is now.

Xiling knew that Vera's story wasn't finished, so she didn't interrupt her.

Vera continued, "Soon after their mission was issued, people went to Moonlight Town. However, that's where things went wrong. Everyone who went to Moonlight Town disappeared without a trace, and there was no news of them."

"Finally, the original assistance mission has been changed into the current investigation mission, and the difficulty of this mission is level 4."

Strictly speaking, there are no hierarchical systems in this world.

However, the people in the Magic Association felt that this was not right, so they arranged for ten ranks.

From 9 to 0.

Each advancement to the next rank requires passing the trials of the magic society.

However, Xiling was not tested at all. The person she caught immediately gave her a third-tier qualification and assigned her work.

Xiling took the request form from Wei'er, glanced at it, stood up, and said with a smile, "I'll take this task."

Vera bowed slightly to Xiling and said, "Be careful on the road."

-

Along the road, Xiling watched as groups of people rode past him on their mounts, while he maintained a normal pace, moving forward without seeming to be in a hurry, even taking in the scenery around him...

Well, the main reason is that Xiling hasn't taken his pilot's test yet, and he felt a bit awkward running around on the road, which is why he seemed so relaxed and carefree.

A brave man who is obsessed with saving face.

Xiling actually wanted to experience what it was like to sit on the ground like a dragon, but whenever he got close to those creatures, they would whimper and seem very afraid of him. Of course, Xiling knew why they were acting this way.

These weaker creatures were naturally afraid because their bodies were covered in the aura of a certain dragon.

But it's about time.

Standing on a cliff, Xiling looked towards a small town dozens of kilometers away.

The moment Xiling saw the town, her brows furrowed.

Because the town was deserted.

But that's possible. That's a small town with tens of thousands of people living there. How could there be no one there?

"Are they afraid of causing panic? Why hasn't the Magic Society announced this news?"

In Xiling's view, the Magic Society must know about this matter. After frowning and thinking for a while, Xiling could only come to this conclusion.

“...It seems there’s really a big problem.” Xiling jumped off the cliff.

......

Xiling quickly arrived at the town.

Xiling looked at the archway above her head and softly read out the name on it.
