Fromouth, the largest city under the original organization
Yushila Seafood Shop
Originally, the seafood restaurant had good business and was almost full every night, but tonight there was only one table... Or rather, all the diners paid and left half an hour ago, and the diners who came later left when they saw the people sitting at that table.
The two "special combat forces" and William, the man who killed seven marquises, were drinking wheat wine and eating large amounts of various seafood.
Even though some seafood is already infected with diseases and ordinary people may contract ichthyosis and fish eye disease after swallowing them, for the three people, these pathogens are more like old-world seasonings that make the ingredients more delicious.
It was also at the dinner table that Mr. Asimov first unzipped his collar and unbuttoned the ring collar that covered his mouth and nose.
The nose structure is normal.
But his mouth was completely blocked by a tiny chain that went through his lips, and even his tongue was completely removed. This way, Asimov spoke less frequently, giving him a feeling of "talking less and doing more."
Another purpose is to block "appetite" so that monks can concentrate on their work and reduce the probability of making mistakes.
At this moment, Asimov pulled out the iron chain between his lips, removed the iron nails in his mouth and returned to his normal state, throwing away the monastery's "fasting" constraints and feasting.
Zed on the side didn't have much demand for food. He was usually locked up under the teaching building, and the academy would deliver whatever he wanted to eat, not to mention that he now had a whole day of free time every week.
At this time, Zed's corpse arm gently fell on William's shoulder and pinched it back and forth, using the physical touch to understand William's experiences during this period.
"Hmm... It seems that you haven't given up on physical training during this time away from school. There is also something else mixed in your body, a special kind of passionate and rhythmic muscle. Have you encountered any strong people at the physical level in the old world?"
William quickly sucked off the roasted fish whiskers and replied, "Yes, there is an absolutely strong person in the physical level in the Fear Circus organization I am currently joining.
I have only learned the basics, and I may learn more in the future."
When William said this, Asimov, who was sucking on a huge shrimp head opposite him, suddenly looked up.
"Mr. Rabbit?"
"Yes, did you know Mr. Asimov?"
“It’s just that I know about this person’s existence unilaterally, this monster doesn’t know me.
The true origin of the rabbit is top secret even in the monastery, and the monastery's records of it are completely outdated. According to our speculation, the rabbit is very likely in the process of, or has already completed, the ultimate ascension."
"Is that guy's body very strong?" Zed's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"He is so strong that it cannot even be described by conventional concepts or standards... He should be considered the best in the physical body of the Silver Circle of the Old World. In terms of physical body alone, he can be compared with the Lord of the Plague."
William echoed, "Mr. Rabbit is the number one person in the circus besides the boss. Because of the nightmare incident, Mr. Rabbit also learned of your existence, teacher.
The third leader of the acrobatic troupe, Mosander, who was defeated by you, teacher, was Mr. Rabbit's subordinate.
He very much wants you to come to the circus and have some physical contact."
"Well, I'll consider it. But I'll have to wait until Zion rebuilds and the organization stabilizes.
But once I set foot in the Old World, the monastery will surely come to arrest me first, right? Asimov?"
Asimov did not deny the question raised by Zed, "That's for sure. After all, Captain Zed is a black spot in the history of the monastery since its establishment. The fact that you escaped from the monastery and killed monks on the way must be erased. Once this matter spreads, it will damage the reputation of the monastery and greatly undermine the prestige established by the monastery in the Old World.
As long as your presence appears in the old world, the monastery will immediately send out executioners like me, or even higher-level beings, to capture you.
However, if your students can help us reach the circus before the pursuit, the monastery will be helpless."
William also took this opportunity to say: "Teacher, you can indeed consider going there, or even joining the circus.
With your strength, you will definitely be able to occupy a sufficiently important position in it. Even if the infection of the world is complete and there is no longer any barrier between the two worlds, the monastery will not be able to effectively hunt you down."
"Um… "
Zed nodded thoughtfully.
Asimov, who was half full, changed the subject, "Captain Zede, you are still as formidable as ever. You were able to defeat Marquis Gratoni single-handedly. According to the objective ranking given by the monastery, Gluttony can be ranked third among the seven marquises."
“It’s still a long way to go… The reason why that guy retreated was mainly because William killed Greed, and he chose to withdraw when the situation was hopeless.
If we only consider the "one-on-one" situation, it's hard to say who will win or lose based on the devouring posture that guy finally displayed. "
"You are still the same as always. Even though you are so strong, you still don't feel satisfied at all."
William sat aside like a good student, trying not to participate in the conversation between the two and not to disturb their reminiscence.
It can be seen from the conversation that the two of them used to be very good and close teammates, similar to the relationship between William, King and Reagan.
Moreover, their physiques were similar, and they were both noticed by the monastery when they set foot in the old world.
Zed escaped by relying on his absolute individual strength and willpower, while Asimov stayed inside.
Because of this, even though Asimov was labeled as a member of the monastery and was even an important member of it, the two of them remained good friends.
In addition, before going out to eat, William also went to the ICU ward covered with vegetation. Jin was wrapped in the huge red lotus formed by himself, and everything was normal.
The next day.
Asimov said goodbye and left early. He had paid a high price for taking this leave. If he had returned later, he would have been severely punished even as an executioner.
Jin was discharged from the hospital early, but she had no intention of staying in the organization, attending the celebration banquet or accepting the award. Instead, she dragged her body, which had not yet recovered, back to the old world, back to the Cancer Palace.
She didn't want to experience the powerlessness she felt when facing the Seventh Marquis a second time.
William did not try to persuade her to stay, since they could meet often in the future anyway.
As for William himself, he chose to stay for a while. Anyway, he had already asked the circus for a half-month vacation, and killing one of the seven marquises would also make the boss very happy.
William, who stayed here, assisted and accelerated Zion's reconstruction work. At the same time, he was able to ask Zed some physical questions and reminisce with friends and teachers.
Half a month later, the gentlemen had moved back to Zion from Fromouth one after another.
Except for the abandoned Shenpi Mansion and the non-existent 'First Gentleman', everything seems to be back on track.
Stargazing Room
William slept here last night, or rather, in the familiar bathtub filled with star particles, and chatted with the principal all night, telling him about his experiences in the old world and how he killed Grid.
William originally wanted to extend an olive branch to the principal and ask him to go to the circus with him. Currently, there is no stargazer in the circus, and a person like the principal would definitely get a very good position if he went there.
But after much thought, a gentleman's organization cannot be without a principal.
Moreover, the principal is also the middleman of the old world's stargazer group in this world, and needs to provide astrological information here. For the principal, it is better for her to stay in this world.
"William, are you ready to leave today? Aren't you ready to accept the organization's commendation and enjoy the admiration of all members of the organization?"
“The organization is already seriously damaged, so we should stop doing activities that waste manpower and resources.
And I have already declared war on the Blood People, I can't let them wait too long... I wanted you to go to the old world with me, but you probably can't leave."
"When there is no longer any barrier between the two worlds, I will be able to go with you."
"good."
Before leaving, William selected a ring that was overflowing with starlight and seemed to be made of fallen stars from the Greedy Treasure House and handed it to Deslin.
"Hmm! When did you get something as good as this?"
"Haha~ Principal, just take it. It should be good for you."
"Then I'll take it without hesitation. Be careful when you go there, and don't rush too fast... If you feel confused, find a higher place to look up at the stars, and maybe you can chat with me."
"knew."
William turned his back, waved his hands, and left alone.
