Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 312: Discussing Heroes over Drinking Wine

“(……)”

No matter how unwilling he was, he had to move forward. But in order to express his recognition of the old man, Xuanwu would do his best to kill him.

"Ah, I have no regrets in my life. I have burned out. The world will become better and better because so many people are working to improve it. I can't do it alone, but humanity is not a fragmented entity. In this day and age, the connections between humans are closer than ever before."

The old man held the dream bird in his hands and placed it on the ground.

The birds that touch the sky will one day return to the embrace of the earth.

"Dream Bird, please fulfill my last dream. Go and fulfill your own dream, and then live your life to the fullest."

After saying this, the dream-making bird staggered and jumped down towards the sunset.

A trace of loneliness flashed in the old man's eyes. He had expected this situation a long time ago, but... he still found it difficult to accept that his partner was flying towards the sky of his dreams.

Then it fell to pieces.

"Okay, I've said enough. But as for you, I still need to personally confirm your will."

"Success is earned through hard work, not begged for. Do you understand what I mean?"

"(certainly.)"

Xuanwu nodded. Out of the greatest respect for a martyr, she decided to go all out and let the old man die bravely as a warrior.

"(Finally...please tell me your name. I will remember it.)"

"A name? Haha, I didn't expect anyone would care about that. Never mind, my name is..."

……

Xuanwu was fighting fiercely with the old man, and on the other side, Uesugi Ai was also waiting eagerly.

The struggle for gang interests is overwhelming, but has never been exposed in the open.

The largest organization throughout the continent of Tern is undoubtedly the Adventurer's Guild. It creates batches of adventurers like fuel and then drains them dry - this is the way of survival on the continent of Tern.

But Yiyin hasn't realized this yet.

While Xuanwu was "working", Yiyin and Baihu, who had lost their value, were kicked out of prison and returned to the Adventurer's Guild.

Of course, Uesugi Ai's moral character is not that bad. She is not so cruel as to sell Iin and Baihu to a brothel - at least for now.

They are a team - a three-person team 258, and the final result is shared by all three of them.

Therefore, whether Xuanwu succeeds or not directly determines their future destiny.

Uesugi Ai brought them back to the Adventurer's Guild and very "kindly" gave them some Luke.

"This is a deposit,"

Uesugi Ai said, "You can squander it as you please. While you still have the freedom to spend it, I suggest you spend it quickly. Hehehe."

Iin really hated what Uesugi Ai said. She used her youthfulness as a weapon and harmed countless people. Now she has to pretend to be a good person. It's really disgusting.

But despite this, Yiyin still accepted the money.

Who on Blue Star would be sorry for Luke? He had already figured out how to spend it.

"So you decided how to spend it?"

In the Adventurer's Guild, Baihu sat opposite Yiyin, tapping the table with his fingers out of boredom, while staring at Luke in Yiyin's hand with a fierce look.

"Towards the Abyss, welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. Adventurers who need any services that Luke has received can come to me."

Catherine hasn't finished get off work yet and is still very dedicated in selling alcohol.

"On the hour?"

Yi Yin weighed the Lukes. He still didn't know how much purchasing power these Lukes had in the Adventurer's Guild.

"it is good."

Baihu raised her eyebrows. Although her life was not in danger during the three months in prison, the boring life day after day had accumulated a lot of pressure on Baihu, and she urgently needed some way to release it.

"Ruicheng, give me some wine, don't add water."

"Ok."

Catherine accepted Luke and soon brought two jugs of wine and a plate of fennel beans.

Seeing this scene, Yi Yin suddenly felt touched, which reminded him of some impressions before he traveled through time.

"The fennel beans are complimentary. Enjoy your meal."

After Catherine finished speaking, she began to greet other guests.

Yiyin broke off a fennel bean with his bare hands and stole a little. Monsters couldn't be easily exposed to the sight of the people of Uqbar, but they also needed to eat, so they had to prepare their share.

"I'm really frustrated."

Baihu raised his glass and drank, as if to completely let go of the humiliation of being in jail.

"Cool."

Baihu's evaluation is very insightful and it is not easy to come by.

"Cough cough cough..."

After Yiyin realized that he had become an adult, he became more and more unscrupulous.

"Sister Baihu, out of 10, how would you rate this wine?"

"Zero points."

Baihu made no secret of his disdain. "The real good wine is the daughter's red wine from our Kunlun region. It's truly intoxicating... Damn, the Lantern Festival is almost here. It's a pity I can't go back."

The blockade is so severe now that they definitely won't be able to return to the Ryukyuan Continent.

"Hey, Senior Baihu, take it easy. After we find Rokakaka and help Senior Xuanwu remove the curse, maybe we can return to the Liufang Continent. The false accusations against us will eventually burn out like sparks that hit us."

"Huh, I hope so."

Baihu didn't really want to talk about this issue, so he just took a sip of wine.

"...Just drinking like this is boring, Baihu-senpai. How about we play a game? There are many heroes on Blue Planet. Maybe we can become heroes one day."

"I think you should give up your fantasy as soon as possible." Baihu disagreed.

"Huh? Listen—Flamehorn Loren, the Shadow King from our Shadow King Village, signed a spiritual contract with the severed horn of a Flame Dragon. He traveled across Blue Star, constantly speaking out for justice and fairness, and even left the Flame Dragon Soul for the Dragon Palace. Is he truly a hero?"

"Flamehorn Loren? You're from Shadow King Village. Haven't you seen the example of Bubulu? He's worked hard for years, but he hasn't even solved the discrimination problem in his own village, let alone the various problems that exist on the continent of Te'en... And now his life or death is uncertain. He's fought for years but hasn't left any fruits of victory. What kind of hero is he?"

Baihu's answer was deafening. The title of "Ten Shadow Kings" was just a way for later generations to call the Monster Masters, and they themselves might not necessarily agree with this title.

Perhaps, for some Shadow Kings, the title of "Ten Shadow Kings" is just a shackle that binds them.

"Okay, Baihu-senpai, you're right. I can't help but accept it."

After saying that, Yiyin punished himself with a drink. He felt little stars gradually appearing in front of his eyes.

"It's not over yet! Baihu-senpai, come on, let's fight again—"
