In just one night.
His fantasy life in the other world collapsed like a beautiful dream, and the reality was that boundless malice was shrouding him.
The cause was a woman named Mai Yin.
Yesterday, the king gathered a total of 12 adventurers to follow the Four Saints and become their companions to help them level up. Mai Yin was one of them.
However, for some reason, the twelve adventurers all chose the three Bravehearts with swords, bows, and spears. None of them were willing to be his partner. Just when he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, the woman called Mai Yin raised her hand, indicating that she was willing to be his partner.
Iwatani didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Mai Yin was gentle and pitiful, so she kindly became his companion.
Moreover, Mai Yin was a beautiful girl, which was very much in line with the main character's harem image in the fantasy genre of this world. This made Iwatani Shouwen quite happy, and he thought that he might be able to develop something with this beautiful girl, so he lost his ability to think.
And so, he was betrayed without any warning.
When he woke up this morning, the royal guards suddenly knocked on his door, tied him up, and brought him to the castle.
Mai Yin was lying in the arms of Kitamura Motoyasu, sobbing and accusing him of being unfaithful.
After that, the Royal Guards found a set of pink underwear in his hotel room. When Mai Yin saw it, she immediately cried out in grief, claiming that it was her underwear and that Iwatani Shouwen had forcefully taken it away.
But Iwatani didn't know when it appeared in his room. It was like he was drugged last night, sleeping like a log and didn't hear anything.
At first glance, there were witnesses and evidence.
The king didn't say anything and sentenced him as a rapist. He didn't even ask him a word. The whole process could be said to be rushed.
Sky Wood, Kawachi Seki, and Kitamura Motoyasu also looked at him with cold and disdainful eyes. They also believed that he was the one who tried to rape his companion.
But he was still one of the Four Saints, so the king didn't punish him in the end. Instead, he was expelled from the castle and ordered to fight against the tide to atone for his actions.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! "
Iwatani rummaged through his pockets and found that there was not a single silver coin left, causing him to curse under his breath.
In order to support the Four Saint Brave Warriors, the King had given them a monthly allowance yesterday. The other three Brave Warriors received 600 silver coins, and because he did not understand this world, he received 800 silver coins as extra compensation.
But now, all the silver coins on him had disappeared. Without a doubt, they had been secretly stolen by that whore! She had purposely approached him from the very beginning and then framed him as a rapist. Her goal was to get his money!
"That bitch! And that trashy king! Remember it well! "
Right now, Iwatani Shouwen's entire body was emitting an aura of hatred and anger. His eyes were like that of a ferocious beast that was about to devour its prey. He looked at everyone with vigilance and hostility.
In his eyes, it was as if anyone could pounce on him and take a bite out of his flesh. Everyone was his enemy.
This injustice, this humiliation, this sin, he would never forget it. One day, he would return it all to that woman and the King!
However, even though his chest was filled with rage, this experience had also shattered all of his beautiful fantasies about the other world, allowing his mind to gradually regain its calmness.
"Now that I have no money, I have to think of a way to earn money as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't even have food to eat and will starve to death sooner or later!"
Iwatani Shouwen tried his best to analyze his current situation. "I know nothing about this world. The only way is to go out of the city and kill monsters, then sell the monsters' materials in the shop … Damn it, this shield of mine has no attack power, the efficiency of killing monsters is too low!"
A shield was a defensive weapon. It was very good for protecting oneself or others. But if it was used to attack, it was completely useless.
If this was the real world, using the back of the shield to hit someone might be able to deal some damage. However, this was a game world. The design of the shield had no attack power at all. It was all defense. Even if the back of the shield was used to hit someone, it would not be able to deal any damage.
This world was too unfriendly to shield users.
"Huu …"
Just as Iwatani Shouwen was thinking of a solution, a tall figure walked past him, bringing with it a strong gust of wind.
"What a strong man!"
Iwatani Shouwen regained his senses and looked at the man behind him with fear.
This was a man close to two meters tall, with bulging muscles. He had a head full of white hair and a stern face. He gave off a stereotypical impression of a middle-aged man.
He was wearing a black armor that emitted a metallic luster. His arms were crossed over his chest, and a white cloak was draped over his back. He looked abnormally strong, and his aura was overflowing.
At this moment, he brushed past Iwatani Shangwen's shoulder and walked towards King City behind Iwatani Shangwen.
"He should be a very strong adventurer … But, it has nothing to do with me."
Iwatani Shouwen laughed coldly at himself, then turned around and walked towards the southern gate of the capital city.
"Young man."
However, before Iwatani Shouwen could walk out, the white haired man's voice came from behind him, causing him to stop abruptly. His muscles tensed up.
"Before your name spreads through the streets and alleys, go to the dragon-carved hourglass at the southern edge of the capital and take a grain of sand to put into your shield."
"This is a piece of advice, believe it or not."
After saying this, the white haired man lifted his feet and walked towards the direction of the capital city.
"Huh?"
Iwatani Shouwen's face was full of question marks as he looked at the white haired man walking away. He then scratched his head of messy black hair and walked towards the southern gate in annoyance.
"Since it's on the way, let's go take a look. Don't try to fool me this time!"
…
At the gate of the capital city.
Sky Wood Warrior, Kawachi Seki, and Kitamura Motoyasu brought their adventurer companions and walked down the suspension bridge towards the inner city.
The three of them were already wearing high quality armour and equipment. Compared to Iwatani Shouwen who just had his equipment taken away, it was like comparing heaven and earth.
"I didn't expect Shouwen to do such a thing."
Kitamura Motoyasu looked at the beautiful Mai Yin beside him, and a look of extreme disappointment appeared on his face. He said bitterly, "I really misjudged him!"
"Who said you weren't?"
Kawachi Seki also shook his head regretfully. "Does Shouwen not have any sense of justice in his heart?"
"Let's part here."
Sky Wood Warrior said coldly. "Next should be the competition between the three of us. I definitely won't lose to you."
The three of them were talking amongst themselves, but they didn't notice that –
The white haired man had already arrived in front of the suspension bridge and was looking at them coldly.
