"Name?"
"Albert Rhine."
"Job?"
"Freedom Knight. I don't belong to any faction, but I've been making a living in the Gentlemen Alliance recently. Everyone gives me face and calls me the Flower-Shattering Swordsman of the Three Swordsmen."
I couldn't help but be astonished as I looked at the rather straightforward black-haired Knight before me. Ever since I made up my mind to contact the Divine Knight Alliance, no matter how wretched the "expert" they sent, I had already expected it. But why did they send me such a cheerful and handsome guy?
He had delicate features, an aquiline nose, and sword-like eyebrows. His square face was filled with righteousness, yet he had a gentle smile. His black Knight attire added a heroic aura to his appearance. His long hair reached his shoulders, yet he didn't seem feminine at all. For some reason, he made me want to punch his handsome face. Cough — cough — it seemed that he had a personal grudge against me.
Wasn't this the classic public enemy of all men — a super handsome guy? Why was he a member of the Gentlemen Alliance?
"… Do you know why they sent you here? Did you give the wrong order? "
Albert smiled wryly as he shook his head.
"You didn't give the wrong order. When the news reached us, all of our companions immediately came to find me. Did they believe that I was the only one capable of carrying out this mission?"
I was even more astonished. Judging by the maids who kept sneaking glances at me from outside the door, could it be that such a rare super handsome guy was lacking women? He even wanted to do "performance art"? It was more like women were throwing themselves at him.
"… The past is like smoke. It's a long story."
Albert had a sorrowful expression as he lowered his head and spoke as if he couldn't bear to recall the past.
"Those were all mistakes I made when I was young. It all started when I was still a child. I had a younger sister. She was my angel and everything …"
This was a common story in this generation. Albert's parents had both died, and he supported his family by himself. His only family member, his younger sister, was his angel and psychological support. But when she was three years old, she was kidnapped and sold by human traffickers.
"And so, I traveled all over the world by myself. My childhood memories are already hazy, and the only distinguishing feature is the red birthmark on my waist. That's why I learned how to use a thin sword technique that specializes in cutting clothes without hurting skin. That's why they call me the Flower-Shattering Swordsman of the Three Swordsmen."
His sorrowful expression showed that he had suffered a lot.
I immediately nodded in agreement with a face full of sympathy. I understood the feeling of being treated as a pervert when one was clearly a normal person.
"You've really worked hard. Don't worry, when you're done with my task, I'll use my power to find my sister."
"Really? Thank you so much. I can't wait to carry out your mission. Please give me the characteristics. I'll start right away! "
Albert was so excited that he immediately stood up and bowed. I was also quite happy. This was much better than what I had expected. There was actually a normal person in the Divine Warrior Alliance? Looks like the King of Gentlemen halo isn't too difficult to deal with. I can't help but feel hopeful for the beautiful future.
"Yep, she's about 14 to 18 years old this year. Her blonde hair … no, her hair color might have been dyed as well. So, as long as it fits her age, don't let go of her. Since she might be disguised as a man, don't miss out on cute boys either!"
"Your Highness, don't worry, I'm an expert! No woman can escape my eyes, my sword! "
The thin sword drew an arc in the air. Killing intent flashed in his black eyes. At this moment, I realized that the person in front of me was actually a peak expert who was half a step into Legend.
I was immediately overjoyed. Could it be that my luck had changed? Not only was it a normal person with common sense and a bottom line, it was also an expert?
"You're really too reliable!! Too reliable! … "
"Brother, I bought you a beast fang sword tassel. You'll definitely like it!"
The door suddenly opened and a lively little girl jumped in.
Wait, what did she call me? Brother? Since she wasn't calling me, then she could only call Albert. Wasn't his sister still missing?
My smile immediately froze. Based on my many years of experience of being cheated, I could vaguely guess what would happen next.
"Lina? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the Mercenary Headquarters? "
Looking at the ponytailed girl, Albert was a little surprised.
"Big Brother Beifeng told me to follow you here. He said that he didn't know what you would do if I wasn't here. He's really nice. He was afraid that Brother wouldn't be able to complete the mission, so he asked many of his companions to come and help. Brother, what kind of mission is so important? Why did you have to come here? "
Alright, what else was there to say. I should have guessed that there wouldn't be any normal people in the Gentlemen Alliance. However, to be able to trick me with such a sincere look, she did have some skills.
"Brat, you sure have guts …"
"No, no, Your Highness, listen to my explanation. I'm speaking the truth! I have indeed been looking for my sister all this while, that's how I got this title. "
Suddenly, the black-haired girl interrupted angrily.
"Brother! Did you cut off another girl's clothes again?! You already have so many sisters-in-law at home, yet you still do such a thing. It's fine if you do such a thing, but you clearly found me three years ago, yet you still use my matter as a cover to pick up girls. How do you expect me to face everyone? The sister of a clothes-shredding playboy? That's so unpleasant to hear. Do you still want me to get married? "
Playboy? Many sisters-in-law? Expert at picking up girls? My eyebrows twitched with every word I heard. As the elder of the FFF group, I knew what to do.
"Little girl, I'm discussing business with your brother. Can you wait outside for a moment? Right, remember to close the door when you go out. "
As if she knew that I was a big shot, the girl nodded readily.
"Oh, brother, I'll wait for you outside."
What a good little sister, so obedient. Compared to that completely lawless little brother of mine and the bunch of naughty brats at home, my tears were about to fall. When I thought about how I had been single for more than three hundred years, and how the other party had a harem in his twenties and was still looking for new prey, my tears really started to fall.
"My fingers are on fire. Damned winner in life, harem man, taste my Personality Modification- Earth-Shattering Fist! Ahhh! "
"Your Highness, listen to my explanation! It's definitely not what you think! "
Explanation? I would listen. After the beating, finally, after a delightful beating, I stopped, intending to listen to what he had to say.
"Pui, wanting to eat in the pot after eating in the bowl, scum!"
"… Wahh, it's not like that. I didn't want to either, I really didn't want to."
As if my disdain had touched a certain sensitive nerve in him, he actually started to cry. That manly young man was actually crying like a pitiful child.
As if I could hear the truth in his painful sobs, I temporarily put aside my intention to kick him when he was down.
"I didn't want to either. It's just that I've done it too many times in the past, and it's become a habit. When I see a woman who fits the description, I instinctively make my move. Besides, I only looked at the position of their birthmarks. Why do I have to take responsibility? Can I take responsibility? Harem? Have you ever seen a harem beauty with the body of a hippopotamus and the face of a monkey? The ones that I have to take responsibility for are all like that. If there were a few that were good-looking that took a liking to me, they would be chased away. "
"What an extravagant worry. Are you showing off in front of an old bachelor (virgin)?"
"No, no, Your Highness, you don't know this. As soon as I turn around, they start fighting openly and covertly. It's a complete mess, and they use all sorts of underhanded methods. Last month, I was implicated in food poisoning five times. There's a bunch of poisonous needles in my shoes and glue in my clothes. I can't take it anymore! Women are too scary! Now, I tremble at the sight of women! I can't take care of them when I think of them. "
As he said that, he actually started to tremble mysteriously. His teeth kept chattering as if he was having an epileptic fit. Judging from the sudden drop in his body temperature and his pale complexion, what he said was actually true.
"Female phobia? A harem man that suffers from female phobia? That's an old setting from that manga. "
Alright, looking at Albert who was already foaming at the mouth on the ground, I finally felt some sympathy for him.
"Two of you, help me call a priest over."
However, the moment the door opened, a group of familiar faces walked in.
"Boss, Big Brother Beifeng told us to come over to help."
The familiar faces from the Gentlemen Alliance entered through the door behind us. Yingou, Gold Tooth, Casio … Wait a moment, Xueti, why are you here? Can't you just leave everything to us? You're the highest priest after all.
"Lilith is here."
The question in my eyes was answered. I immediately understood. Following the announcement of the Undead, as a Blood Tribe, Lilith could naturally move around in Donglan. Furthermore, since she was an expert in internal affairs, she started to take charge of the work. This foolish cow would indeed become more free and it was normal for him to wander around aimlessly.
"That Beifeng brat sure is thoughtful. Where is he? He didn't come? "
"No, he's here."
Yingou nodded his head, but his smile was extremely perverted. His fingers even made a gesture that all men would understand.
"He saw a gigantic lion head and left first. He told us to report to you first."
In an instant, I understood. But then, I realized something was wrong. It was here.
"A gigantic lion head? Gui Ming? F * ck, that brat is courting death! "
At the same time, a deafening roar came from outside the window.
"Inconceivable! There's actually such a twisted soul in this world! To think that he dared to lay his hands on me. Eat my Soul Correction Kick! "
Alright, isn't the one who flew into the clouds the vice leader of a certain Gentlemen Alliance? From a certain standpoint, he really is invincible. That lion head is more than 2000 years old. Even I don't dare to provoke it.
"Ah, it's Big Brother."
In the room, other than Casio's panicked voice, everyone else had a calm expression.
"Don't worry. Good people don't live long, but calamities live for a thousand years. If it's Beifeng, it wouldn't be difficult for him to live for tens of thousands of years."
The moment he said that, everyone in the room nodded their heads.
"I feel that even if the world were to be destroyed, he would still be fine."
And the man's unique deep voice that descended from the sky couldn't help but prove the authenticity of these words.
"Ah, I almost died … Don't be shy, let's chat more …"
…
"My sharp sword is invincible!"
As he said those cool words, the sword aura that couldn't be captured by the naked eye turned into a cold gust of wind.
"Dang!"
When the handsome swordsman stood with a cold expression and sheathed his sword, the sound of cloth tearing could be heard from behind me.
"Ahhh, there's a pervert!"
At this moment, that noble daughter discovered that her clothes were all torn. Albert glanced at her, laughed coldly, and continued forward by himself.
"Hmph, another boring thing to kill!"
Immediately, that girl cried until she was in a daze, and her guards didn't even have time to take action.
Another tall figure appeared next to the young lady, and a large cloak dropped down.
"… We're currently chasing after the villain who tore clothes. I don't know where he escaped to."
From a certain standpoint, the heavily armored Grimm did indeed seem quite dignified. The only reason he was asked to appear and be the good guy was because he was also a human, so he wouldn't attract too much attention.
"This kind of progress is too slow."
On the rooftop, I was somewhat dissatisfied with the progress. I had only verified around 40 people in the morning. How long would it take to finish all of them?
"… This is already quite fast. Fortunately, the Lamp of Life's reaction helped us narrow down our targets. We only need to investigate outsiders who came to the Northlands in the past three or four months. Otherwise, who knows how long it'll take."
The Lamp of Life's function was limited. The fact that it had discovered a reaction three months ago could only mean that Princess Glina had returned to the Northlands at that time. As for the specific location? If he could point out the specific location, what privacy would a member of the royal family have?
He was even confused about the specific location. If he could be so nimble, Kelly would have found me long ago. At most, he was just a piece of evidence to prove whether or not that member of the royal family was real, and whether or not she was still alive.
"Your Highness, why don't we do another Unclothed City?"
"… It's winter here. People will freeze to death. Not to mention, how are we supposed to clean up after this?"
I looked at Albert, who was drawing his sword in the distance, and couldn't help but feel helpless. Why was this female-phobic person so skilled at stripping clothes?
"It's been hard on him. He clearly has female-phobia."
"Pfft."
Right after I said that, I heard laughter all around me, as if I had said something wrong.
"Could it be that his female-phobia is also a lie? This brat's acting skills are really that good? "
"No, it's not acting skills. It's just that, look at the change in his expression after he slashed clothes."
I looked over. When Albert sheathed his sword, even though he had said that he had slashed something senseless, there was a hint of a smile on his face. His expression was filled with delight, as if he was enjoying it.
"He's enjoying it?"
"Yes, he's indeed afraid of women to death. As long as a woman touches him, she'll scream. But it's precisely because of this that he especially enjoys women's screams. The reason why he can't stop acting as the Clothes-Shredding Sword Demon is because it's his greatest pleasure."
"Sigh, how did such a good young man become like this? What a pity for his sword techniques."
"That's not it. Lord Adam said that his normal sword techniques are only average. However, the moment he slashed clothes, he was already at the doorstep of becoming a Sword Saint."
I was surprised to hear this. Sword Saints were incredibly rare. They usually required both talent and a long period of training. Sword Saints definitely had the power to challenge those at a higher power level than themselves.
After taking a closer look, I realized that something was wrong.
"When he slashes his sword, a hundred swords return. Normally, he doesn't have any killing intent, but when he unsheathes his sword, his sword energy surges and kills without leaving a trace. How is this close to becoming a Sword Saint? He's obviously already a Sword Saint. He's actually a Sword Saint!"
"No, he can only reach this realm when his target is a woman and he slashes clothes. That's why Lord Adam said that he's close to becoming a Sword Saint."
"As expected, there are no normal people in the Gentlemen Alliance. Are the other two swordsmen the same? "
"Swordsmen? That's what they call themselves. Everyone calls them the Three Despicable Swordsmen. "
I shook my head helplessly. But right at that moment, a voice rang out from behind me.
"We found the princess' nanny from back then. We have new information!"
