Chapter 150: You can trust her completely.” (Please subscribe! Please vote for the Monthly ticket!)
The meeting came to an end.
Afterwards, Luoqi and Vivian exchanged a few words, but Shane did not butt in.
The things worth discussing had been discussed; persisting in conversation, Shane always had the feeling of licking the Goddess’s boots.
To avoid becoming like those noble sons outside, a bunch of bootlickers, Shane focused on his own thoughts, observing Luoqi’s Holy Sword with admiration rather than seizing the rare opportunity to chat with the Princess and earn brownie points.
However, no matter how much he admired it, Shane had only one thought.
“This sword is really weak.”
Hear ye, do the people agree?

But this was truly Shane’s sincere thought.
Compared to his own Holy Sword, wasn’t this one far inferior?
Of course, being weaker had its perks; at least one could use it openly without concern unlike Shane, who felt like he was cradling a nuclear bomb rather than a Holy Sword, always worried that if the outer layer failed to contain it and got punctured, what then?
Thus, Shane felt both amazed and envious.
This Shane hadn’t considered that, if it wasn’t for his own exceptional circumstances, he would not have reached such an extreme situation.
Take the Magical Sword, for example; its power depended on both the Skill Level and the amount of the user’s Magic Power. Had not Shane maniacally maxed out his Skill Levels and possessed an excessive amount of Magic Power, how could he have become the Nuclear Bomb Sword Immortal?
If it were someone else wielding the same Holy Sword as Shane’s, they likely wouldn’t come close in terms of power.
So, really, one couldn’t blame others.
Oblivious to this, Shane indulged in his inhuman reflections until Luoqi and Vivian had finished their conversation, at which point he prepared to take his leave with Vivian.
Yet, Shane was unaware that his proactive distancing had also caused Luoqi to look at him with new respect.
So, before they departed, Luoqi took the initiative to address Shane.
“From the perspective of the Human Race, having a new Hero come to our world after a thousand years is undoubtedly an exhilarating event,” Luoqi said with a radiant smile that was breathtaking.
“Although there are many unsettling factors, I am very much looking forward to your future performance.”
Upon hearing this, Shane looked at the celestial-like Princess, responding with a smile, yet inwardly sneering.
“Sounds like the empty pleasantries of a corporate bigwig.”
Thinking they can get away without paying wages and expect one to work themselves to death?
Not a chance!
With this thought in mind, Shane and Vivian left the Princess’s chamber.
Completely unawares, Luoqi watched their departure, her smile gradually fading from her face.
…
Meanwhile, walking through the spacious palace corridor, Shane and Vivian also began to converse.
“Let the Princess handle your matters,” Vivian said reassuringly, as if telling Shane not to worry. “Given her relationship with the Divine Race, entering the Divine World is not a difficult task, and I believe she’ll bring back some information soon.”
“Really?” Shane sighed, not very hopeful, “I hope so.”
“What’s wrong?” Vivian picked up on Shane’s tone and asked, “Do you feel that the princess can’t be trusted?”
“Do you think I should trust her?” Shane retorted, “I’ve only met the princess once; can I really trust her just because she’s pretty and dazzling in public?”
“…I can understand that,” Vivian fell silent for a moment before saying, “From the perspective of someone from the Otherworld like you, it’s indeed unrealistic to expect you to trust the princess immediately.”
If it were someone from this world, perhaps upon hearing of the princess’s many heroic deeds, they would feel a certain level of trust, even absolute trust, wouldn’t they?
It was only now that Vivian realized how difficult it was to expect Shane to disclose everything to Luoqi under these circumstances.
Shane revealed his secrets in front of Luoqi at their first meeting not because he trusted Luoqi, but because he trusted her.
“Thank you.”
Vivian thanked Shane formally.
But this made Shane laugh.
“That’s a strange way to say thanks,” Shane said, somewhat amused, “You’ve gone to great lengths for my sake. I should be the one saying thanks, so why are you the one saying it?”
“I don’t see it that way,” Vivian shook her head and said, “I believe you understand after our conversation today. The fact that you were summoned here surely hides some immensely important secrets. It may even involve issues between the Three Clans, perhaps even the peace and security of this world. Just for that, I have a duty to do these things.”
Hearing this, Shane couldn’t help but admire Vivian.
This girl didn’t think that the safety of the world was unrelated to her, and was willing to do her utmost for it. She wasn’t like some others who always believed that if the sky fell, it would be the tall people holding it up, that saving the world was the responsibility of those renowned and great figures. They would think that they were just insignificant and weak humans, and if they could take care of themselves, that was already quite good. Whatever happened to others was unimportant.
Shane thought that people like Vivian were truly “noble” in nature, upholding their own principles and duties, very responsible, understanding the need to anticipate danger in times of safety, and acting upon it.
Such a person could stand with a shield that didn’t match her own stature, couldn’t she? Shielding everyone from the wind and rain?
“The princess must think the same,” Vivian continued, “She’s someone who has never betrayed others’ expectations, which is why she is adored by the people to such an extent that if they can’t be sure she is safe every day, they might feel uneasy. And she has never found this bothersome, appearing before her people daily, tirelessly, to give them peace of mind.”
“She will not ignore what’s happening with you,” Vivian said confidently about Luoqi, “You can trust her completely, it’s okay.”
“Alright then,” Shane responded indifferently.
At that moment, Shane suddenly remembered something very important.
“By the way, how did the princess come to have the Holy Sword?”
Shane finally recalled this matter that had been on his mind before.
“Is the princess not an Otherworldly Hero like me? Why does she have the Holy Sword then?”
Shane asked Vivian this question.
There was no helping it; the matter was just too peculiar.
And it was only when Shane actually saw Luoqi’s Holy Sword that he realized the effects of the sword seemed far too similar to those of the Hero’s Holy Sword from a millennium ago.
Level +50.
All Skill Levels +5.
All types of Damage Reduction by 50%.
These were all the powers of the Hero’s Holy Sword from a thousand years ago.
Plus, where it showed the exclusive owner “Mitra,” Shane had an idea.
