Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"It's just investigating opium, why do we need so many people?"

Previously, the City Legion was under the command of the Second Prince, Halphas. After Halphas's coup, the number of City Legion members was reduced from five thousand to one thousand, and they were jointly managed by the First Prince, Gravel, and the Chancellor, Darius.

Rudius's first thought was of Lochishi. He had already made thorough preparations for Lochishi to leave the city. The illegitimate son of Paul Notos Greirat, "Eileen," was sent out of the city to buy medicine for the two pregnant wives of the Bereas family.

For the past few days, we've been practicing with Aisha every day, and the guards at the city gate should be used to it by now. This time, it should be just as smooth as usual.

Unless something else major happens, because after Darius exposed his association with the demons in court, he was clearly alienated by Gravel, and even James was more or less affected.

Rudeus had no idea what was about to happen; he didn't even dare to imagine that it would affect Professor Luo Qixi.

"Does the life that has slipped through my fingers so many times have to be repeated on Teacher Luo Qixi?"

"I've already paid enough tuition; I don't need to repay it with Teacher Luo Qixi's life!"

Rudius began running toward the city gate, just like the other soldiers.

The act of running felt somewhat unfamiliar to Rudeus, who hadn't exercised in a long time since returning to the capital. Considering his noble image, he always went out on horseback or in a carriage, dressed impeccably, with even the direction in which his clothes fluttered in the wind fixed, let alone the possibility of his clothes getting messed up by exercising.

Rudius, however, was running like a madman. He tore off and threw away his collar pin and tie when they were disheveled, and he didn't care that his heavy coat was out of shape. He stumbled and fell all the way, and when his sleeves hit the ground, they got covered in white dust, but he didn't have time to clean it up. The soldiers traveling with him were all wondering if he was a thief who had stolen the nobleman's clothes and was desperately trying to avoid being caught by the shopkeeper or the nobleman.

"Lord Rudius! Please leave the city gate area!"

"Go away!"

Several soldiers who recognized Rudeus immediately went to stop him, but before they could get close, they were repelled by a gust of wind that Rudeus struck out from his palm. They could only watch silently as Rudeus ran toward the city gate.

......

"Strange, why did the carriage suddenly stop?"

After passing through the security check by the city gate soldiers, she left the inner city. She was still a little distance from the outer city gate when she looked out the window and saw that more than a dozen caravans ahead had been stopped and soldiers had forced all the merchants off the carriages. However, these were not soldiers from the Street Army.

The merchants in the caravan were herded aside like livestock by soldiers in green-based armor. "Eileen" could vaguely see the unicorn crest printed on their armor.

"Is it the Zeferos family?"

The string that had been plucked in Eileen's heart when she was an adventurer began to vibrate again. Soldiers started heading towards her carriage, and she held her breath, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

"only you?"

The soldier lifted the carriage curtain and spoke to Eileen.

"Yes, that's right. I...I'm from the Boreas family. I'm going to buy medicine for the two pregnant ladies..."

"Eileen" adopted the tone of a little girl, pretending to be trembling with fear.

Upon hearing that they were from the Boreas family, the soldiers, perhaps feeling it inconvenient to deal with them, went to summon a man who appeared to be an officer. He was a bald, burly man who looked to be in his forties, with a venomous glint in his eyes.

"You're from the Boreas family?"

"I asked the burly man."

"Yes...yes, sir."

"Eileen" trembled, her voice shaking.

"Crack!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"Ahhhh!"

Suddenly, several screams rang out. "Eileen" cried out in alarm and looked ahead. All the merchants who had been driven out of the caravan ahead had been killed by the soldiers. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the dark red bloodstains stained the white cobblestones of the official road, emitting a chilling light.

At the same time, the sound of galloping hooves came from the outer city gates, and hordes of soldiers from the city's street corps poured into the outer city from the inner city.

"Let's just say he was shot to death by a stray arrow."

The burly man uttered a remark and ran towards the outer city gate, while the remaining soldiers drew their bows and arrows, intending to kill "Eileen" and be done with it.

"and many more!"

"Eileen" took out a wad of gold coins from the paper bag Rudius had given her and handed it to the soldier. "Let me go, and they're all... all yours. You could never earn this much money in your entire life."

"This...this isn't a good idea..."

Seeing the soldier hesitate, "Eileen" slapped the gold coins across the soldier's face, and the arrow happened to fly away. "Eileen" then pulled her staff from her luggage and jumped out of the car.

"Damn it, you brat!"

The soldier, who was caught off guard by the gold coin, was furious. He threw down his bow and arrow, grabbed his single-edged sword, and was about to go forward and kill "Eileen". The other three or five soldiers also noticed and suddenly found "Eileen" suspicious, so they surrounded her as well.

"Great water spirits, summon the master of winter to punish them! — Frost Strike!"

As "Eileen" chanted, she channeled magic into the staff in her hands. The magic-enhanced ring on her right middle finger shattered from the magical fluctuations, and the little girl "Eileen," who looked only nine years old, transformed into a girl with a head of light blue three-strand braids. In the twilight light, her light blue hair faintly shimmered with a hint of green light.

"Eileen" has never existed in this world; at this moment, there is only Luo Qixi.

"Shhhhh!"

As soon as the Frost Strike spell finished, several ice arrows as thick as bowls shot out from the tip of Luo Qixi's staff. Before the soldiers could react, the two soldiers in the middle were pierced into pieces by the Frost Strike.

"Demons! It's a demon..."

Just as the remaining soldiers were about to call out, they were interrupted by the increasingly close sound of horses' hooves.

"Stark Zephyrus Grellat, on the orders of Gravel Binlefen Asra, the First Prince and Regent of the Kingdom of Asra, has entered the capital to search for illegal merchants smuggling opium and to capture the real culprit behind the opium trafficking, Vizier Darius!"

Luo Qixi and the remaining soldiers all looked toward the outer city gate. Dozens of cavalrymen lined up and entered the city in a grand procession, numbering at least ten thousand.

The knight leading the group was none other than a familiar face to Loki—Stark Zephyrus Grellat.

"Wait! We have not received such an order!"

The commander of the city corps rode forward to block their way, saying, "We are also under His Highness Gravel's jurisdiction, but we have never received any order from His Highness to allow the Zeferos family's army to enter the city!"

"This is the order."

Stark sneered, pulled a human head from the pocket behind the horse's rump, and threw it on the ground.

The commander of the street corps looked closely and almost fell off his horse.

That was the head of Mike Canon Zeferos Greirat, the younger brother of the head of the Zeferos family.

“Since the head of the Zeferos family fell ill, Maccanon Zeferos Grellat has seized power and, together with Chancellor Darius, has been smuggling opium, poisoning the people. His crimes are unforgivable, and he has now been executed by imperial decree. If you continue to obstruct him, you will be punished as well as he is!”

Stark raised his riding crop and pointed towards the inner city, "Enter the city!"

Chapter 309: Please Call Me Luo Qixi

......

Stark raised his whip and shouted, "Enter the city!"

The commander of the street troop ceased resistance, turned his horse around, and the street troop immediately formed two lines, clearing the inner city gates. The nearly 10,000-strong Zeferos Knights marched into the capital in a grand procession.

Meanwhile, the remaining two henchmen were still planning to deal with the demon girl in front of them so they could exchange her head for money, and they were still in a standoff with their opponent.

"Teacher Luo Qixi!"

"Teacher Luo Qixi!"

Rudius charged through the chaotic ranks of soldiers, squeezing through any gaps he saw. If someone blocked his way, he would use wind magic to push them aside. He didn't care that his hair was torn or his coat was ripped.

At that moment, all he wanted was to see the Migludian girl with the light blue three-strand braid standing alive in front of him, not lying on the ground covered in wounds, blood gushing from her mouth, her eyes staring blankly at the sky.

That experience was like a nightmare. Every time Rudius recalled it, he had a splitting headache. He had given up so much, and sometimes he felt disgusted with himself. But what was it all for?

Perhaps it's so that I won't have that experience again.

Rudius probably thought that he had completely integrated into the aristocratic circle of this other world, thinking like an aristocrat, being as cold-blooded as an aristocrat, and that almost nothing could make him so embarrassed.

Finally, after navigating through layers of crowds, he finally saw her—the girl with three braids and light blue hair, holding a long, white, openwork staff, and dressed in a black and white maid outfit.

"Teacher Luo Qixi!"

Rudius called out to the girl.

"Rudy?"

The girl turned around, and when she heard the familiar voice behind her, she seemed to forget that she was fighting soldiers. The remaining two soldiers took advantage of her relaxed vigilance and immediately drew their swords to slash at her.

"Teacher Luo Qixi!"

Rudius saw the soldiers' movements and instantly conjured a rock cannonball, blowing one soldier's head off. But there was still one left, and there wasn't enough time to conjure a rock cannonball.

The soldier's blood, which had been blown off his head, splattered on Luo Qixi's fair face. She only came to her senses after smelling the blood, but the gleaming blade was coming straight at her, and she had no time to dodge.

"Crack!"

In an instant, a figure blocked Luo Qixi's path, and the blood splattering from the blade slashing his back cut the soldier's body in two like a blade.

"Finally, I made it in time."

The man's body went limp, and he fell towards Luo Qixi.

"Rudy...Rudy..."

Luo Qixi was stunned for a moment, then let the person fall into her arms.

On the one hand, she had never seen a method of killing that used the water mixed in one's own blood as the basis for performing water magic.

On the other hand, she wanted to say something, but tears had already blurred her vision. They had already said goodbye, but she never expected that their reunion would be in this way.

"Finally, I made it in time, Teacher Luo Qixi."

Rudeus looked at the tear-blurred eyes of the girl before him, forcing a smile. "I'm so sorry... Sylphie... and Alice..."

"Rudy, Rudy, don't speak, I'll treat you."

Luo Qixi felt the damp, sticky, and hot touch of her palm, while Rudeus's face in her arms was slowly turning pale. This reminded her of those memories of life and death. But was she going to be with her favorite, most outstanding apprentice, and most beloved Rudeus this time?

"Like a loving mother goddess, please heal this person's wounds and restore him to health—[ExHealing]!"

A green light flashed, and Rudeus's face gradually regained its color, and the wound on his back was completely healed.

"How embarrassing, I was almost about to say my last words."

Rudius scratched his head sheepishly, only to have Luo Qixi raise her small fist and pound it heavily on his chest.

"You wretched Rudy, you scared me to death...!"

Luo Qixi didn't know what expression to make at this moment. She herself didn't know what kind of mood she was in. It was both simple and complicated. Her mind was blank. She didn't know what she would do if Rudy disappeared from this world. And she had almost never thought of such a thing before.

"However, it's great to see Rudy again."

Luo Qixi let her tears drip onto Rudeus's face, her blood-stained hands stroking Rudeus's messy long hair. "I really am becoming less and less worthy of being Rudeus's teacher."

"Teacher Luo Qixi, please don't say that. You will always be my teacher, and I will always be your student."

Before he knew it, Rudius's eyes were filled with tears. "Actually, I feel very sorry for Teacher Lochishi. When Darius used Teacher Lochishi's matter to accuse me, I was still wondering whether to follow Prince Gravel's advice and kill Teacher Lochishi, but I couldn't bring myself to do it..."

"I...I actually had those kinds of thoughts about Teacher Luo Qixi, I'm such a scumbag..."

"Rudy shouldn't say that about himself. In any case, I'm grateful for Rudy's decision. I'm Rudy's teacher, but I've never helped him. I've always been the one holding him back, and I'm still relying on him now..."

"Right now, this is the last thing Teacher Luo Qixi should say."

Rudius raised his hand to wipe away the two lines of clear tears that flowed down Luo Qixi's fair face. "Including the time just now, Teacher Luo Qixi has saved me three times. Isn't that enough? Teacher Luo Qixi doesn't owe me anything. On the contrary, it was I who was too naive and dragged Teacher Luo Qixi into trouble."

"If Rudy says that, then please stop calling me teacher."

Luo Qixi forced a smile onto her face. Rudius felt that this smile was familiar, yet also very unfamiliar. It was not like the agreeable smile that Luo Qixi often showed on her face over the years, but rather a smile that came from the heart and truly belonged to Luo Qixi.

“From now on, Rudy, just call me Luo Qixi. If you keep calling me teacher, our relationship will become distant.”

"Um, Miss Luo Qixi..."

"Could you please omit the honorifics, Rudy?"

"Yes, Luo Qixi."

Rudeus gazed at Loki's smile, which resembled a peach blossom in spring. In the twilight, the golden sunlight bathed the girl's face, making it difficult to distinguish whether it was pink or rosy, but he found it to be exceptionally beautiful.

"Oh my, so Lord Rudeus is here."

Unfortunately, someone suddenly appeared and broke the peaceful scene.

Rudeus's position of lying in Luo Qixi's arms was quite indecent. The two immediately separated and got up. Rudeus blushed and scratched his head before he saw the person in front of him.

He was dressed as a swordsman, looked like a twenty-year-old man, had neat short blond hair, and a scar on his nose from being cut down by Rob's sword during the Battle of Grip City.

He was a retainer of Prince Gravel, a mid-level swordsman of the Sword God style. Since they didn't have much contact, Rudeus couldn't quite remember his exact name, only that the two of them worked under Gravel.
