T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Upon his arrival, he dismissed all the servants around him, leaving only Wick behind.

Have you heard the rumors about Düsseldorf?

Here it comes, it’s here as expected.

Dussel has been missing for nearly half a year. At first, the mage tower thought it was a normal study trip, but the long period of silence has led many people to speculate.

The matter had already subsided, but the rampant spread of "rumors" throughout the day finally made the royal family and the Mage Tower unable to sit still.

After some questioning, Kurien was surprised to discover that the boundary between the virtual and real worlds was the last person to have seen Dussel.

After that, Dussel borrowed a doll made by the chief puppeteer of the Mage Tower and was never heard from again.

The entire cast of "Boundary Between Reality and Illusion" put on a superb performance, including Renee, who also displayed her acting prowess.

She rushed forward and grabbed Kurien's hand: "Your Majesty, please tell me, what happened to my teacher... what happened to him?"

Wow, I underestimated Renee. Her speed in getting into character is no less than that of the jailer and his bed.

From the perspective of the boundary between reality and fiction, the acting was not smooth enough and was somewhat stiff, but the unsuspecting Kurion thought it was a genuine expression of emotion.

The Grion family are a bunch of mindless worms, so it's only natural that Renee would be close to her teacher.

Kurien's lips twitched. He pressed down on Renee's shoulder, carefully choosing his words.

"Don't take what I'm about to say to heart."

"At once……"

"Uh...someone witnessed your teacher in the wild..."

Kurien, sweating profusely, blushed despite his age: "Wick, you tell me!"

Wickham said with a stern face, "Someone witnessed Master Dussel engaging in intense intercourse with a monster... He was the one enjoying it."

Don't laugh at the challenge, let's begin!

Everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion had to suppress their laughter and even feign shock.

The jailer played with the small pebble in his hand and asked, feigning confusion.

"Could it be that there's a mistake?"

"Someone sold a rubbing of the commemorative scroll, which was confiscated by the Imperial Guard... After verification, it is highly likely, possibly... that it is not a forgery."

“Master Dussel may indeed have some unknown hobbies.” Wick took a deep breath and forced himself to hold back. “Besides targeting cows, we also found scrolls showing him attacking snakes, sheep, and even trolls. He forced those monsters to do it, either willingly or unwillingly.”

“These scrolls were kept in his private warehouse at the academy… We forcibly broke the blockade today to verify their authenticity.”

A long silence fell over the room.

Behind them, the soft cushions at the boundary between reality and illusion were being scratched and shed by their hands.

The prison guard's stones made a dull "clink" sound, but no one in the room paid any attention to his struggles.

Chapter 411 The Freest Man in the Anna Empire

In countries where all sorts of humanoid races exist, interbreeding with other races is commonplace, and some people's XP systems are naturally adapted to humanoid races.

Broadly defined humanoid enthusiasts: As long as it's humanoid, the proportion of mixed blood doesn't matter, and complete bestiality is also acceptable.

For those who are narrowly defined as fans of humanoid races: those with animal ears and special animalistic features, ideally with no more than 4% mixed blood.

The latter constitutes the vast majority in Anna, and the public's perceptions and moral customs are basically built around this foundation.

It is not without its problems for pure-blooded humans to form partnerships with mixed-race individuals.

It's fine if they have fun; as long as the young couple is willing, it's not up to the public to judge them morally.

Unfortunately, Düsseldorf played too fancy a game.

Bestiality is a topic of perverted interest among the nobility, and as the emperor, Kurien is certainly aware of their character, but he simply chooses not to concern himself with matters of private life.

But the play turned out to be played by orcs, and one of the leaders of the mage tower was among the participants.

Dussel was highly regarded among the people. He was a high-ranking magic master who could give whatever he wanted in terms of material things, but he gave all his love to his long-deceased wife. He was the epitome of a pure love god of war who stood in the empire for decades and was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After the news spread, all his past behavior was interpreted by the public as "hiding his perverted hobbies".

The cycle of impulses to create and destroy gods will continue to play out everywhere.

Once the exquisite shrine is splattered with mud, countless mud splatters will follow.

Kurien looked at Renee and said, "There is one thing that needs to be determined now: whether your teacher, Dussel, is still alive."

"In fact, after examining the scroll, the people at the Mage Tower always felt that the key details in the image were blurry, especially... the part where they were having intercourse, where the human body outlines showed obvious signs of fogging, resembling a spirit."

Upon hearing this, the boundary between reality and illusion paused for a moment.

There are many experts in the Mage Tower. Even though Mint deliberately disguised herself when taking photos, the subtle and coincidental fogging could not fool those who were paying attention.

“Given that it happened late at night, the quality of the photographic scroll may have affected the imaging results,” Kurien continued. “So the good news is that your teacher is still alive, but he really had unusual tastes. The bad news is… he’s dead.”

Kurien narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone present.

Jiang Heyi guessed that the Lion King suspected that the matter was related to them.

If a guild can subdue Eleravie, then who can say that it doesn't have the ability to kill Dussel?

Moreover, the last people Düsseldorf had contact with were them, and the content of their conversation remains unknown to the outside world.

The lousy laughter interrupted Kurien's thoughtful scrutiny, and he looked at the jailer.

"Excuse me, you mean the chief mage of the mage tower, those high-ranking mages, gathered together, freezing each frame to appreciate the wonderful moments of those scrolls?"

Kurien sighed and Wick couldn't help but rub his temples as well.

And it wasn't just them; Kurien also participated in the appreciation before he arrived.

This concerns a chief mage of the mage tower. Although he is old and frail and has fallen from the ninth rank, a chief mage is still a chief mage, representing the mage tower's prestige, reputation, and peak combat power.

Now that their own business is being attacked by strange monsters, rumors are spreading all over the continent, and by tonight, even the alien races beyond the borders will be enjoying this strange tale.

When examining the authenticity of the scroll's contents, the older, high-ranking mages frowned and leaned back, as if the monsters inside the scroll would jump out and drag them in to join in the festivities.

The middle-aged high-level mage barely managed to keep his composure, patiently and critically examining the content while trying to ignore Dussel's groans, which sounded like both a wail and a sound like pleasure.

It had to be the young, high-ranking officials of the empire who were completely unaffected, able to enjoy the desserts while whispering and chatting amongst themselves.

Occasionally, Kurien would also feel worried about the new generation of the Empire.

Now, whether Düssel is dead or alive, he is a subtle problem for the Empire.

If he were still alive, how would they treat such an old man with an extremely rich and almost unrestrained private life?

If he died, who killed him?

A master of spatial magic can run away if he can't win. What kind of strength would it take to prevent Dussel from even casting a spatial tearing spell?

It's a complete mess.

The jailer was still laughing; in the past, Wick would have reprimanded him for his inappropriate behavior before the king.

But now... anyway, Kurien doesn't care. If I talk too much, he might be called an old man, so I might as well ignore it.

Kurien confided, "I always feel that you guys at the boundary between the real and the virtual have solved a lot of troubles for me, sorted out a lot of things, and made me feel much better. But... you always seem to appear at crucial moments in major events of the Empire."

He shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know if the boundary between the real and the virtual is destined for me or for this land."

The crowd couldn't help but recall the words used to describe their compatibility with the world of Ana.

Miracle.

It is indeed fate, but it is a fate that can only be reunited after death. It's just a pity that everything that happens in the game is just a simulation. I wonder what my state of mind will be like when the time comes.

Unable to find the answer he sought from the boundary between the real and the virtual, Kurien left.

The jailer's laughter came at just the right time. His nonchalant attitude, as if he were just watching for fun, and his curious attitude as he inquired about the details of the questionnaire, convinced the two high-ranking officials of the empire that they were completely unaware of the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

After confirming that the guards around him had also left, the jailer shook the small stone.

"Hello, are you there, Imperial Celebrity, the Great Lord Dussel?"

"From now on, when discussing this type of gameplay in the entire Anna region, you'll be an unavoidable mountain to climb~~~"

Having practiced mental magic for half his life, Dussel was utterly despondent.

His reputation was ruined in life, and after death he was powerless to control his own destiny, unable to die even if he wished.

"Let me die!" he cried out in grief and indignation.

“That won’t do. I’m taking you back to the guild and handing you over to the two from Sunrain.” The jailer grinned. “They said they could try to extract usable fragments of knowledge from your spirit.”

"Just like you treat those students who trust you, make the most of them."

French Fries muttered, "Reincarnated Anna, I really suspect that the jailer is a perfect fit for the necromancer. He's practically the embodiment of the profession."

The series of events triggered by the showdown between Mint and Renee has come to a close.

The scene freezes, and fragments of experience, like a tidal wave, flow into the bodies of the seven people from all directions.

Although they were mentally prepared, everyone still felt a thrill when they heard the "ding-ding" notification sound of the upgrade.

French fries and orange tea jumped from level 32 to level 35.

The others went from 31 to 33.

While grinding for experience on the 5th floor of the Tower World, players discovered that starting from level 28, the amount of experience required to level up increased dramatically.

Meanwhile, there is a clear experience detection mechanism on the 5th floor of the Tower World; once you reach level 25, the amount of experience gained decreases.

At level 28, the amount of loot is halved, and the difficulty of monsters increases significantly.

Under such circumstances, only a true sword master from Shili Slope could grit his teeth and grind relentlessly.

Khorne's Chosen and the Hilarious Tree endured all sorts of debuffs and leveled up to level 29, aiming for level 30, which they have been aiming for for 3 days.

The boundary between reality and illusion, far from the main battlefield of the Tower World, allows for a story-driven upgrade, yet it easily overtakes others, demonstrating the generous rewards of the Anna main storyline.

Continue with the storyline, level up, and then sweep the field, or immerse yourself in the Tower of Trials world now and reclaim your T0 throne?

As usual, Jiang Heyi makes the decision when the team faces difficult choices.

So far, he has not disappointed anyone.

Jiang Heyi stroked his chin and, taking advantage of the last moments of the time stop, presented his solution.

"Anyway, we still have plenty of time in this round of the game. It seems like there are still some story events to trigger in Kureen. Why don't we go wander around and take a look at the story-related events first, and then decide whether to go for a quick Tower World run or just grind through the story in one go?"

It passed unanimously, so let's get to it.

Renee couldn't show herself openly, so she had to return to the guild and stay there.

She didn't feel wronged; as long as she could get rid of Grelian and enjoy a rare moment of freedom, she was content.

What's more, there are quite a few interesting people in the guild—the worrying situation is already showing signs of turning out well, and Renee seems to really like the embarrassing creatures in the guild!

With Wick's endorsement, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds allows one to use facial recognition to meet Kurien at the Anna Palace.

Many of Kurien's subjects encountered along the way detoured around the group upon seeing them.

Not only were they plagued by the nobility, but not a single subject of the Anna Empire wanted to have anything to do with the boundary between the virtual and the real.

They are like the source of a plague; a single glance between them can make one feel that their life is about to end.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Upon hearing Wick's words, who had come to greet him, Jiang Heyi couldn't help but say something.

"His Majesty was just speaking with two trusted confidants, and it should be nearing its end. In terms of factionalism, they are absolutely loyal to His Majesty. You can see their reaction later."

The door to Kurien's study, where he handled government affairs, was pushed open, and two imposing men in fine clothes walked out one after the other.

They nodded slightly to Wick, but when their gazes suddenly fell upon the people at the boundary between reality and illusion, they were all stunned.

Someone with less composure would probably lean back and adopt an escapist posture, right?

When Renee Mint was walking the red carpet, the nobles would deliberately avoid any boundary between reality and illusion.

Now it has even developed to the point of retreating and avoiding each other.

"Rumors are always like this. Although everyone knows they are baseless nonsense, if many people say them and do them, they become a habit."

"A rumor?" Jiang Heyi asked, puzzled. "What rumor?"

“There’s a rumor that anyone who comes into contact with the boundary between reality and illusion will suffer misfortune, and the more prestigious their status, the harder they fall,” Wick laughed. “But you guys can keep benefiting from it, going from an unknown adventurer group to becoming honored guests of the Falling Star Sea Constellation.”
