At the gate of Box Court, they saw Ren Russell, the leader of Black Rabbit's community. To everyone's surprise, the leader of this community was just a child who looked like he was in his teens.
This made the atmosphere a little strange. Although Ren tried his best to show a welcoming attitude, the three of them just looked at each other and said nothing. Logically speaking, if it was as Black Rabbit said, the community should have sent a representative to greet them here, and the leader should be waiting to meet them. But the leader of this community actually came out to greet the three of them in person, not to mention that he was just a child.
Well, the three of them were not fools. If they still could not see that there was a problem with this community, then there must be a problem.
However, since they were guests from afar, they followed Ren and Black Rabbit to tour the entire Box Court and listened to their introduction of this world. According to the introduction of the two, there were many races living in this Box Court, including gods, Buddhas, demons, elves, orcs, humans and so on. Most of them were quite peaceful.
Next, they found a place to eat and chat. First, they naturally talked about their abilities. According to her, Haruhi Kasuga's ability allowed her to communicate with all animals, from sparrows to dolphins. She was able to communicate with them without any problems.
Asuka Asuka was obviously envious of Haruhi Abe's ability. As for her ability...
"Bang."
Just as everyone was talking, a burly man in a suit suddenly sat down unceremoniously and sneered at Ren, who was next to him.
"Oh, isn't this Ren, the leader of the nameless country bumpkin from the lowest level of the East Community?"
"Garde..."
Ren's little face suddenly turned gloomy when he saw the tall man in front of him. Asuka Asuka frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you three."
The man nodded to Fangzheng, Asuka Asuka and Haruhi Abe, then introduced himself.
"I'm Garde Gaspar, the leader of the community 'Forrest Grove'. Nice to meet you three."
The man named Garde looked at Ren again.
"Is this the new talent you've found? The name and flag that could be called the honor of the Community has already been taken away, and you still have the face to continue unwillingly? "
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the three of them looked at Ren and Black Rabbit meaningfully, and their expressions became a little stiff at this moment.
"Looks like there's something going on here."
Fangzheng put down the teacup in his hand.
"If you don't mind, can you explain it to us?"
"This … this …"
In the face of Fangzheng's question, Ren and Black Rabbit looked at each other as if they didn't know what to say. Seeing this, Flying Bird also stared at him from afar.
"Since you call yourself the leader of the Community, then you should have the obligation to explain the situation of the Community to us who have been summoned as new members, isn't that right?"
"This young lady's words are reasonable."
Compared to the speechless Ren, Garde sneered.
"You're right. As the leader of the Community, it's my duty to explain the rules of the Box World to the new members. But I'm sure he doesn't want to do it. If you don't mind, let me explain it to you."
Since Ren and Black Rabbit didn't want to speak, the three of them certainly didn't mind. Following the explanation of the man named Garde, they finally understood the situation of this world.
Just as Black Rabbit said before, the Community was similar to the name of a family, a race, or a country. Every Community had its own flag and territory to be able to carry out activities. If one wanted to expand their own Community, they needed to propose a mutually agreed 'Game of Blessings' to their chosen target Community. Once they won, they could obtain the other party's territory and dominion and strengthen through annexation.
Three years ago, the Community that Ren and Black Rabbit were part of was the largest Community in the eastern region and possessed super strength. However, they were targeted by some kind of 'Natural Disaster' and had to undergo a 'Game of Blessings' that they couldn't refuse. Then, they were wiped out in just one night. All the upper members disappeared without a trace, and even their original flag and name were taken away.
In other words, they now had no name, no flag that was equivalent to glory, and not even their core companions were left. They had nothing. What's more, among the current 120 members, only Black Rabbit and Ren had the 'Game of Blessings'. The other members were all children under the age of ten.
Rather than calling it a Community, it was better to call it a welfare home on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management.
Because of this, even Garde, who dominated the area, had no interest in attacking them.
As for the 'Natural Disaster', he was the Demon King — the Asura Buddha who had the privilege of 'Host Authority'. If they took the initiative to initiate the Game of Blessings, no one could refuse. Because of this, although the force that Ren and Black Rabbit belonged to was unwilling, they had no choice but to play the Game of Blessings with the Demon King.
"..... That's how it is. You guys should understand now, right? Therefore, I sincerely hope that all of you can join my community. What do you think? "
"Woo …"
Faced with Garde's poaching, Black Rabbit and Ren both showed angry expressions, but they couldn't say anything at the moment. After all, what Garde said was the truth. Their Community was so broken that no one would choose to join it …
"No need."
However, Jiu Asuka was the first to refuse.
"I'm not interested in your Community. I'm fine with Ren."
"W-Why?"
Hearing Jiu Asuka's answer, Garde was stunned. Jiu Asuka didn't even look at him and turned to the short-haired girl next to him.
"What about you, Kasuga?"
"I'm just here to make friends in this world."
Kasuga Yoshi replied while stroking the tricolor cat in his arms. Hearing this, Jiu Asuka smiled.
"Is that so? Then can you list me as a candidate for friend number one? "
Hearing Jiu Asuka's question, Kasuga Yoshi was stunned for a moment, then he nodded with a blush on his face.
Oh my, a lily is really nice.
Looking at the blooming lily in front of him, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction, then picked up his personal terminal. Hmm, shoot, record, save.
But for Garde, he couldn't accept it.
"Everyone!"
Just as Garde stood up and was about to say something, Jiu Asuka glanced at him.
"Shut up, sit down, and answer my questions."
The next moment, Garde instantly shut his mouth as if he was being forced to carry out some kind of order. He sat down on the chair again.
So that's the Gift of Jiu Asuka.
Seeing this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes.
He could force others to carry out his orders just through words. Was it similar to the ability of the Spirit of Speech? It was an interesting ability.
Then, under the influence of the Gift of Jiu Asuka, the man named Garde finally revealed the nature of his community. The reason this man could become the leader of such a huge Eastern Community was because he used a special method to force the other party to agree to his game of Gift. That was to capture the women and children of the other party as hostages. This way, even without the power of the "Demon King", the other party had to obediently agree to his request.
As for the children he captured, they had long been killed by Garde.
And to avoid being discovered, the corpses of the killed children were all erased ….
"Shut up!"
Hearing this, even Jiu Asuka could not bear to listen anymore.
"That's wonderful. This kind of villain that only exists in paintings is really rare."
Although Jiu Asuka tried her best to remain calm, the trembling in her voice showed that she was far from being as calm as she appeared to be.
"That can only mean that you've seen too little of them, Miss. These are just small villains. Killing them is already good enough."
Fangzheng took a sip of black tea and chuckled.
"Is that so?"
"Of course, I've seen crueler things, but to avoid leaving a psychological scar, I won't say it. So, Mr. Garde. "
At this point, Fangzheng put down his teacup and looked at Garde with a smile.
"Play a game of Gift with me."
"Huh?"
"Mr. Fangzheng?"
Everyone was shocked to hear Fangzheng's words. Jiu Asuka raised her eyebrows and snapped her fingers to remove the influence on Garde.
"Game of Gift?"
Although Garde was angry about everything that happened before, his attention was still focused on what Fangzheng said.
"That's right. The participants are me and you. If I lose, I'll join your community. If you lose, your community will belong to me. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng stood up.
"The rules of the game are very simple. I'll stand here, motionless, and I won't use any ability. You can attack me with any force at will. As long as you can touch me, you win … So, Miss, you should just watch from the side. If you want to play with your ability, it'll be boring."
When Fangzheng said that, he looked at the time.
"The time is one hour. Black Rabbit will be the judge. How about that?"
"Wait, wait, are you serious? Mr. Fangzheng? "
Black Rabbit finally reacted from the shock and rushed forward to grab Fangzheng.
"Are you sure you don't want to use any abilities? Just stand there? "
"Yes."
Fangzheng nodded and looked at Garde.
"What do you think? I think the rules of the game are quite fair. "
"Hmm …"
Faced with Fangzheng's suggestion, Garde fell into deep thought. To be honest, this game of bestowment was a little risky for Garde. However, since Fangzheng had said that he wouldn't use any powers or hide, he just stood there motionless. Besides, he could win as long as he met him. No matter how he looked at it, the rules here were quite favorable to him.
Although he did not know the origin of this man, if he could not even use the 'Gift', then he was not a threat at all!
At this thought, Garde grinned and revealed a confident smile.
"Very well, I agree!"
