Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 184 Sword Dance

"..."

It is the second day since Yiyin returned to Yingwang Village. He did not feel the simple folk customs and habits of the people, but only felt an endless sense of emptiness.

This is a concern for survival, just like when he first arrived on Blue Star, he could not survive without Luke, and now he is trapped in this vicious circle and cannot escape.

"How could this happen?"

Bubulu, who has always been lively and active, could no longer bear such harsh punishment and almost fell asleep.

"The eldest lady has actually become a profiteer!"

How could such a thing happen? Yi Yin thought Leonard's escape was outrageous enough, but he never expected his daughter to be even more outrageous...

"You two! Can't you just let me have some peace of mind?" Selena put her hands on her hips, looking disappointed in her.

In front of her was a stall filled with colorful elemental crystals.

Yes, Selina started setting up a stall to sell elemental crystals.

Before leaving the Cross Base, Instructor Konaro gave her a small elemental crystal as a token of appreciation. She had never expected to use it here.

There was no way. Selina's family situation was worse than she had imagined. The once richest man in the village had fallen to the bottom of society. It was really lamentable.

These two younger brothers of his have accomplished nothing. They said they would accompany him to sell elemental crystals, but they haven't sold a single one so far.

The road to entrepreneurship was inherently difficult, and Selina hadn't planned on achieving success overnight. Her current plan was to sell the elemental crystals before school started to raise some funds, so Beatrice could live a more comfortable life.

Selina hugged her knees, sinking into endless sorrow. "Oh! How funny! I became a Monster Master in the first place because I didn't want to inherit the family fortune. I didn't expect that now, I'd lost everything! I think I should just drop out of school like Douding did last time and go home to do business..."

"Miss, this is wrong!"

Yi Yin patiently advised, "Just bear with it. As long as you earn enough credits to graduate from the Cross Base, you can easily find a job that pays over 25,000 Luke a month! Isn't that much faster than doing business in Luke?"

"That's right."

Bubulu also advised, "Don't worry, big sister. At worst, I can ask Shisanji to lend you some Luke Huahua."

"This isn't Lubuluk's problem."

Selina frowned, "I feel like I've taken the wrong path..."

However, she had just said half of her words when she immediately came up to greet him with a smile. She didn't expect that the business would come so soon. It seemed that she was lucky.

Yi Yin looked over and saw that the customer was about the same height as him, also a nice young man. And, most importantly, Yi Yin felt that this man looked somewhat familiar, very much like someone he knew.

"Look, what kind of crystals would you like?"

Selina said with the greatest kindness possible.

"This, this, and this... well, pack them all for me."

Selina was overjoyed. She didn't expect this customer to be so generous and buy all the elemental crystals in her hand at once!

"Blessed are you."

Selina smiled widely as she watched the generous guest leave.

"Get rich, get rich."

Selena was ecstatic. Actually, this was not a huge income, but if there is one, there will be two. Selena seemed to have seen a successful life beckoning to her.

To celebrate this hard-earned income, Selena decided to be lavish and treat everyone to a good meal.

.

That night.

Although Shadow King Village is the hometown of Flame Horn Loren, it is ultimately not as big as Beizhili. Therefore, Selina did not buy any delicious food in the end, but only a few pounds of oyster beef and a few barrels of low-quality wine.

"I finally understand why your grandfather always complains about the taste of the wine in Shadow King Village."

Selina sighed, "Who would like to drink this kind of low-quality wine that makes you pass out the moment you drink it?"

"A village like this can actually give birth to a great hero like Flamehorn Loren! I think it's pretty good." Bubulu said.

"Bubulu, you've got one thing wrong. It wasn't Shadow King Village that made Flamehorn Loren famous, it was Flamehorn Loren who made Shadow King Village famous! There's no denying that before Flamehorn Loren became famous, Shadow King Village was just a small, unknown village. And there are actually nine villages like this!"

Yiyin knew very well that what is noble is always the soul, not the Feng Shui treasure land.

"Hey, you even remembered to buy wine to honor me. That's amazing." Grandpa was very surprised and wanted to eat beef first to show respect.

"Old man! This is what the eldest sister prepared for Aunt Beatrice, don't do it." Bubulu was anxious and wanted to stop his grandfather's violence on the spot.

"Forget it."

Beatrice said sympathetically, "Mr. Levich is a very kind man. Not only does he let me live and eat here for free, he also provides meager amounts of food regularly. Since he's so greedy, let him take it!"

After saying that, everyone started laughing.

No matter what, at least at this moment, we are all a family.

"Want a bite?"

While tearing the beef, grandpa kept pouring wine into everyone's glasses.

"Old man! We can't drink!" Bubulu frowned slightly, wanting to refuse his grandfather's kindness.

"Hey! It's not alcohol, it's just water with some ethanol. It doesn't even taste as strong as Suleda."

Unable to resist Grandpa's kindness, everyone had to tentatively take a small sip, and then...

The more they drank, the more they couldn't stop, and finally everyone was drunk.

Only Yiyin still maintained a faint consciousness. Although he had never drunk alcohol before, including before he traveled through time, he subconsciously thought that this was what wine should taste like.

Otherwise, why would so many people use alcohol to numb their nerves? Life is tiring enough, so you have to find some way to relax.

Even so, Yi Yin's speech was somewhat incoherent. With this momentum, he boldly asked a question he had always wanted to ask but had not dared to ask.

"Grandpa, who exactly are you? I've always wondered, are you Flamehorn Loren, who changed his name and came to live in seclusion in this former residence?"

"Stinky boy."

Grandpa was obviously drunk, but he was in a good mood, which was rare. He took advantage of the alcohol to start lecturing Yiyin.

"Since you and my grandson have a good relationship, I'll make an exception and give you a few pointers - never get involved with women, it makes you unhappy. I was beset by this evil spirit back then, and my son wasn't immune either. Now it seems my grandson might be destined to follow his father's footsteps. Such is fate."

As he said that, Grandpa took another big gulp of liquid into his mouth.

"I'm in a good mood today! Let's talk about some things from the heart. I'm actually a veteran who participated in the Demon War."

"Demon War?"

Yi Yin thought that Grandpa must have been drunk again, "Is it the one I know?"

"It's just that... a game where a few demons fight for a seat. But just for this game, who knows how many lives have been lost!"

Grandpa became angrier and angrier as he spoke, as if he had actually been to the battlefield and witnessed the endless misery and sadness there.

Of course, Yiyin expressed doubts about this. After all, his grandfather didn't look like someone suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Although he looked unreliable, he was still in good health.

"What, you don't believe it?"

Provoked by Yiyin, grandpa's long-lost competitive spirit was also aroused.

"Then I'll have to show you my skills. Bring me the sword!"

As he said this, Grandpa drunkenly spat on the ground, then began to rub his hands unsteadily.

After a while, several flying swords flew into the sky for no reason!

Grandpa directed the flying sword and played a beautiful melody.

"Watch this, brat! This is how you use the power of the sword!"

As his grandfather sang the lyrics, Yi Yin felt dizzy. An old man could actually control thousands of swords at will. Could it be that he really participated in the Demon War as he said?

Yi Yin rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he opened them again, what sword dance performance was there? Grandpa, like Bubulu, was drunk and passed out in the grave.

Yiyin also felt drunk and lay down directly.
