【Ding! Someone who wholeheartedly wants to become the strongest Sword Immortal will always be disturbed by worldly matters】
【Now you have been framed by fellow disciples for murder, you need to prove your innocence and severely slap their faces!】
【Mission: Find the murderer】
【Reward: Large amount of spiritual energy (qualified physique)】
In the prison cell, Henry looked at the mission given by the System with some surprise.
Although he knew Pure Yang Sword Technique and Primordial Sword Heart, he had never heard that he could absorb spiritual energy.
However, this “qualified physique” was probably because he had previously obtained the
【Body Tempering Technique】
and
【Marrow Cleansing Pill】
rewards, which enabled him to forge a body capable of absorbing spiritual energy.
It’s just that in this world full of magic, is there really spiritual energy for him to absorb?
Henry also found it difficult to understand the difference between spiritual energy and magic.
Because they are fundamentally products of two different worldviews, distinguishing them is too troublesome.
There’s also this matter of being framed by fellow disciples.
This is obviously Capital scheming behind the scenes!
Even Jessica couldn’t stop those Royal Knights, it seems the Rumelter Family really wants him dead.
Henry sighed helplessly and could only boredly tease the System.
“Can I get a loan for this mission reward? I successfully repaid last time, so I shouldn’t be on the defaulters list, right.”
【Request denied】
Stingy ghost, drink cold water!
Henry sat on the ground and looked around.
The prison he was in was a sealed space, without even windows, only a large door for entry and exit.
It seems they take this matter very seriously.
However, Henry carefully thought about this matter and knew something was wrong.
Obviously this is a matter of the Rumelter Family, so why would His Majesty The King personally issue an order to arrest him?
In this matter, did they reach some kind of deal.
It seems the Rumelter Family really wants him to get out of Saint Nad Magic Academy.
“What should I do now? No one even comes to interrogate me, is this cold treatment so soon?”
Henry muttered to himself.
“Young Master Henry, are you hungry?”
“A bit hungry, I want to eat food made by Lilith, no wait!”
Henry suddenly turned his head around, only to see Lilith leaning against the wall, arms crossed in front of her chest, lifting up her big assets.
She looked at Henry calmly, as if she had been observing Henry for some time.
“It’s an extraordinary period now, I can’t bring food in. You should eat a piece of chocolate to fill your stomach.”
As she spoke, she unbuttoned one button on her chest and pulled out a chocolate bar from a certain crevice, throwing it into Henry’s hands.
Henry could even feel the residual warmth of the chocolate in his hands.
“When you were arrested, I had already notified Miss, now they should be thinking of ways to save you.”
Henry chewed the chocolate while speaking unclearly: “Obviously, someone assassinated those two suit-wearing men yesterday. When they were negotiating with me yesterday, they were still happy, how did they suddenly die?”
“I’ve seen the corpses. Although there are two different methods of death, the force of the strikes and the precision of the attacks are both top-level. Obviously it was someone skilled in assassination.”
Lilith’s eyes flashed coldly, a hint of killing intent flickered in her eyes.
Normally helping Henry cook, clean, and organize clothes was already very tiring!
Now some stinking rat from who knows where has disrupted her life rhythm, which is absolutely unforgivable in her eyes.
She now just wants to quickly find that person, then quickly resolve this matter.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Lilith’s figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Immediately after, someone pushed the door and entered.
The other party’s bloated figure looked like a huge meatball, making Henry feel somewhat physically uncomfortable.
He couldn’t quite understand what these people were trying to achieve by eating so fat?
Are the pigs at the slaughterhouse unwanted?
The other party seemed to squeeze in from the doorway with difficulty.
And upon seeing Henry, he revealed those big yellow teeth.
If anyone could kiss them, Henry would definitely respectfully call them a warrior!
“Young Master Henry, long time no see, do you still remember me?”
He rubbed his palms together and casually sat down in a corner.
Just as he sat down, Henry seemed to feel the floor vibrate slightly.
Henry didn’t doubt at all that if the other party sat a few more times, the entire floor would probably collapse!
“Sorry, this is my first time seeing such a large piece of cargo.”
“Haha, Young Master Henry really knows how to joke. My name is Pluoning Rumelter, I’m a branch member of the Rumelter Family. I’m here this time just for peaceful negotiations with you.”
The other party laughed while struggling to pull out a bag of snacks from his pocket, then stuffed them into his mouth.
He grabbed a handful with each hand, seemingly not caring about his image at all.
“You see, there are only the two of us in this place, and no one to disturb us. Don’t you think it’s very peaceful?”
“Not bad, I think staying here isn’t too shabby.”
Henry gave a thumbs up, seemingly genuinely thinking so from the bottom of his heart.
“Young Master Henry, I heard you’ve settled down at Saint Nad Magic Academy and even kept a maid. How can you still live so comfortably after leaving the Rumelter Family?”
“This shows that whether the Rumelter Family exists or not doesn’t matter to me. But the family seems quite anxious, just so unwelcome to me?”
“Of course, you shouldn’t have been studying at the academy in the first place. I’m here this time just to make a deal with you.”
“Oh? What deal?”
Pluoning stopped his actions, then stared at Henry slyly.
“You withdraw from the academy, in exchange for your safe departure from here. This condition should be quite good, right? After all, your identity is that of a murderer.”
Pluoning placed his hands on the ground and slowly crawled toward Henry.
His eyes stared directly at Henry, as if unwilling to let Henry leave his sight.
【Detected illusion nearby, Primordial Sword Heart automatically triggered】
Seeing Henry’s dazed appearance, Pluoning couldn’t help but laugh.
This was his hypnotic magic power. It just required a lot of energy, so he needed to eat frantically to maintain the magic’s effectiveness.
When negotiating with others before, he used this magic power to achieve countless unreasonable contracts.
Dealing with someone like Henry who has no magical power was nothing to him.
He continued crawling forward, wanting to intimidate Henry a bit.
But when he moved forward a little more, he heard Henry’s abrupt voice.
“Dead fat pig, you know I’m a murderer and you still dare to get close to me?”
Pluoning was somewhat stunned, seemingly unable to understand why Henry would say such things while under hypnosis.
But the next moment, Henry had already grabbed his hair and lifted his massive body from the ground!
Pluoning stared at Henry in terror, his dirty mouth inevitably opening.
“You… how are you…”
“Dead fat pig, let me take you to play Three-Dimensional Pinball!”
As the words fell, Henry directly kicked him into the wall, then he bounced back to Henry’s feet.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Screams echoed throughout the entire room, but not a single sound transmitted outside.
It seems the soundproofing was done quite well.
“How do you have nothing wrong with you?”
Pluoning endured the pain and asked.
“Maybe the Rumelter ancestors are protecting me. After all, no matter what, I’m pure-blooded, while you’re just an inferior branch member.”
Henry revealed a gentleman’s smile and continued walking toward Pluoning.
