Chapter 497: Fafner!

Inside a dark and damp cave.

Ryouko slowly opened her eyes to see a handsome man holding a book and wearing glasses.

He was dressed in a green robe and looked like a scholar.

Ryouko tried to sit up but felt like her insides were being torn apart. "Um… where am I?"

The man in green, holding the book, looked at Ryouko. "You are currently in a cave near Lake Tyrell. Don’t worry, it’s safe here."

Ryouko looked at the man. "Did you save me?"

The man closed the book in his hands. "I happened to pass by and saved you on a whim."

Upon hearing this, Ryouko immediately knelt down and bowed to the man, thanking him. "Thank you for your kindness, Amamiya Ryouko is truly grateful."

The man smiled at Ryouko and said, "Why do you need to thank me? Do you think I need your thanks?"

Ryouko was surprised and asked, "Then, what do you think we should do?"

"Why don’t you marry me?" the man suddenly grabbed Ryouko’s right hand and knelt down on one knee.

"I am Duke Fafner Rhekmaje, the Duke of the Midgard, the Kingdom of Ophalon, beautiful maiden, would you marry me?"

Ryouko hesitated for a moment, then pushed away Fafner’s hand, "I appreciate your favor, but I must refuse."

"My heart belongs to someone else, even though he doesn’t accept me, I am willing to wait for him."

As Ryouko spoke, a figure appeared in her mind.

"So, please allow me to refuse."

Fafner was surprised, "Does his appearance surpass mine?"

Ryouko shook her head, "Not as good as you."

"What about his power and position?"

"Also not as good as you."

"Strength?"

"Uh… definitely stronger than you."

Fafner stood up, "Oh, I see, so you prefer strong ones, right?"

Ryouko slowly immersed in memories, "No, I just always saw him as a rival, always lost to him later… that strange feeling, I don’t know how to describe it…"

。。。

At this moment, Fang Ze, who was strategizing in the courtyard, suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, can my Holy Domain Realm catch a cold too?"

Zhou Li on the side couldn’t help but joke, "Could it be that your wife misses you?"

Fang Ze shook his head, "I don’t know."

Du Yuan chimed in, "There are still things you don’t know about, huh?"

"Old Fang, could it be that your mistress outside is missing you, that Amamiya Ryouko?"

"If I remember correctly, she did have feelings for you."

"After all, during the game period, you two have always been love rivals, right?"

Fang Ze, hearing this, showed a quite speechless expression, "To be honest, until twenty years ago, I didn’t know she was a woman."

"Even during the arrival of the game, I didn’t associate her with that case of chuunibyou."

During the game period, there was a person named Sword of the Divine Dragon who always challenged him to a match.

Fang Ze never bothered with him, and every time they fought, Fang Ze won.

However, Sword of the Divine Dragon became more determined and insisted on winning against him.

Fang Ze had also been saved by him several times, and each time that person would say, "I won’t allow you to lose to anyone else."

The only person who can defeat you is me.

At that time, Fang Ze felt he was too involved in the game, or simply had a case of chuunibyou.

To his surprise, that person turned out to be a girl!

Can you imagine, in the game, she looked like that!

She always covered herself up very well, wore a worn-out mask, and her voice didn’t sound like a girl at all. People called her the White Ghost Wolf in battle. How could she be a girl?

Even though he later admitted that the game discriminated against female players who focused on combat skills.

Apart from support roles like healers, there were hardly any female warriors because their physical abilities were inferior to men in the early stages.

Another issue was the stereotype that female players were never seen as skilled in the game.

Of course, there were exceptions for those who enjoyed helping new players.

People who liked to show off in front of new players always preferred having a girl in the team, regardless of other factors, it was purely personal.

Du Yuan put his arm around Fang Ze and asked, "So, did he confess his feelings to you?"

Fang Ze thought for a moment, "I think he did."

"And you turned him down?"

"Yes."

"Why, isn’t the girl pretty enough?"

"Because of various reasons."

"Like what?"

"I hate it when small countries live well."

"That country was destroyed 800 years ago!"

"Hiroshima is in ruins. There were only about a hundred people left from the old era. You know, you can now take on the great task of reviving humanity!"

"In the future, your status will be equivalent to Nüwa and Fuxi, Adam and Eve. Maybe the future humans will be your descendants!"

Fang Ze pushed Du Yuan away, "What strange metaphors are these? If we can’t reach the top and end all this, what future is there to speak of?"

"But what if, what if we succeed?"

"Let’s talk about it after we succeed."

"Tsk."

Zhou Li laughed twice at the sight of this, "Old Fang is a married man now, are you encouraging him to cheat?"

"If I ever have any thoughts like that, Tiya would tear me apart."

"Tiya is like a devil, why does she want to tear you apart every time she’s mentioned?"

Du Yuan gestured with his big hand, "Besides, it’s the end of the world now, and we have a mission to revive humanity. Having multiple wives is normal, right?"

The watermelon silently nodded in agreement on the side.

Ye Qiu glanced at Achieving Immortal and Chu Du’s situation over there, "They’re almost done over there, we should also change places."

。。。

Three days later.

Inside the cave.

Ryouko felt her injuries almost healed and was ready to say goodbye to Fafner.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. If I have a chance in the future, I will repay your kindness."

Fafner flipped through a book nearby, "Is that so, but in reality, I didn’t do anything. It was the Healing Potion you brought and that round pill that saved you."

"I’m quite curious, who invented this stuff, since it has such amazing effects, why not make it more widely available?"

Ryouko replied, "It was a friend of mine."

"Well, I have other things to do, so I won’t bother you any longer."

Fafner sighed, "Are you leaving already?"

Ryouko nodded, "Yes."

Fafner stood up when he saw this, "I should leave too, as there are people looking for me."

"It won’t be long before they find this place, so I should find a new hiding spot."

"Farewell, beautiful and powerful girl."

While talking, Fafner held the book and went straight to the entrance, "By the way, if there’s a chance…"

*chuckle*

At that moment, the long knife in the girl’s hand suddenly pierced Fafner’s chest from behind!

Fafner’s eyes narrowed, "Why…?"

"Fafnir."

Ryouko’s eyes gradually turned colder, "Thank you for saving me, I knew who you were from the beginning."

"I didn’t want to deceive you, but because I was injured, I had no choice but to resort to this plan. Please forgive me."

Poof!

The long sword was drawn!

Fafner immediately spat out blood, his handsome face becoming ugly in that moment and his body shrinking.

It was as if some kind of magic had failed, turning him into a small dwarf.

Or, a dwarf.

"I-I saved you…"

"I know, that’s why I will try to make your death as painless as possible, I won’t let you suffer any more."

Fafnir held his chest and forced out a smile, "You are both gentle and ruthless…"
