57. The fifty-seventh day of Laogai(1/2)
"Anzi..." Looking at the person blocking him, Haruna subconsciously called out his name, as if to verify the authenticity of the other party, Haruna even reached out and pulled his robe.
The feel is as good as ever, and the real feeling also makes Haruna unable to deceive himself. Anzi, he really came to this world and appeared in front of him, when he needed him the most.
Perhaps Haruna was too excited. She forgot to control her strength at all, so she staggered by Anzi, who was still loudly declared a second ago. Fortunately, Anzi was prepared for this sudden situation. He misstepped Haruna behind him, and also let himself stand still. He naturally covered Haruna's shoulder with his skeleton hand. "And she is the object of my Amaz Ur Kung!" His wand pointed directly below, "If anyone is disrespectful, he will kill him!"
The guardian and the maids from the large underground grave of Nasarik stood up neatly from the ground when they heard this. They stood tacitly behind the two, as if they were in another world.
After completely shocking the human army underground, Anzi took the time to communicate with Haruna beside him: "Ahem," he cleared his throat uneasy, "Where are you going now? I will send you over with teleportation magic."
Haruna ignored his question. She was looking at Anzi with her eyes wide open at this time. However, before the two of them formally communicated, Yaerbaid, who had been standing beside Anzi, suddenly said in an angry voice: "This group of lowly creatures dares to openly disobey Lord Anzi's orders." She saw the sneaky movements of the human army at a glance, "Sir Anzi, Lord Haluna, we ask for orders to clear these humans!" Yaerbaid said with one hand protecting her chest and bowing.
A red light flashed through Anzi's eyes, "Oh? The humans here actually have such courage? It's really good. Yaerbaid, you will lead the team to strangle these humans. Remember my previous orders and kill them!" Anzi said coldly, "Let them know what kind of existence I, Anzi Ur Gong!"
"Yes! Lord Anzi!"
Yaerbaid took away all the people who followed him. On the platform, only Anzi and Chunna were left. During a silence, Anzi spoke first, "How about it, the learning of imperial skills has begun to show results! You pulled me unexpectedly, but I didn't make a mistake. Are you even more powerful?" Anzi said in a very proud tone, "Are I pretending this time very well?"
Haruna: "..." Before he spoke, she felt that she almost shed tears of excitement, but after Anzi spoke, she didn't know what else she could say except speechless.
After seeing Haruna's expression finally not so scary, Anzi then breathed a sigh of relief in her heart - it was considered coaxing, but it would be impossible not to settle the score with her. "Haluna, you are indeed doing very dangerous things." Anzi's voice was faint. Although there was no sense of severity in his words, Chunna still heard his reproach, "If I didn't come, what do you want to do? If I read it correctly, there is a missile launcher here. Do you want to face these things alone?"
Anzi's usual style of painting is actually not related to severity, but when it comes to a fatal moment, his "adult" advantage is fully utilized. For example, what Haruna said now is completely unable to raise his head.
Anzi originally wanted to continue her education, but looking at Haruna's hair and her aggrieved expression, Anzi suddenly became silent. He might have really used the character of an old father who spoiled children, Anzi thought in despair in his heart.
"Anzi..." Haruna whispered his name, stretched out her claws and grabbed his magician's robe.
Anzi: "..." Alas! Listen to this soft voice! Anzi, lost!
So, Haruna roughly told Anzi about his experience. After she finished her plans, Anzi fell into a long silence. After a while, Anzi raised her hand and rubbed Shunna's head, "You have done a good job." He commented.
"But Meluim is still dead." Haruna whispered.
Anzi laughed: "What are you talking about?" He took Haruna down from the platform. The stairs appeared spontaneously at their feet, "Are he about to go to the Dark Continent now? He has survived, Haluna."
When the two walked down, the guardians slowly returned with the maid group, and behind them were full of wreckage, weapons, and naturally humans.
After Anzi confirmed that everyone was here, he waved his wand and brought everyone to the tightly closed gate to the Dark Continent, which completely saved them from opening the door.
Haruna and his group were standing on a small piece of land at this time. The reason why they were a small piece was because behind this gate, everyone's eyes were full of turbulent sea water, and only their location could be called land.
"Where are we going next?" Anzi asked gently.
Haruna looked at the environment in front of her with a daze, "I heard that there should be guides and gatekeepers here. They will stop the invasion of outsiders. Why did we all come in but we didn't even see the figure? Entering the dark continent, we have to cross this sea, but there is no guide..." When he said this, Haruna was not sure. The guide was not only a tricky existence, but also played a key role.
However, Dimiugos, who has always been known as the think tank of the underground grave of Nasalik, spoke up. He pushed his glasses and said calmly to Haruna: "Mr. Haluna, I think you must have discovered that this is called the Dark Continent. The atmosphere belonging to the dark race is very strong. I boldly guess. Maybe you are the legitimate ruler here. As the abyss demon, you were born as the ruler of the group in the dark. Therefore, the inferior existence of the leader and gatekeeper, naturally, dare not come out to disturb you at will."
This inference that made Haruna and Anzi speechless actually won the recognition of a large number of guardians and maid groups, and they nodded and agreed.
In this way, the gatekeeper and the guide of the Dark Continent were so scared that Haruna didn't dare to come out.
"Since that's the case, let Mare and I go to explore the way for Haluna. You can stay here for the news of me." Anzi thought about it and ordered, and naturally the others had no objection.
So the two magical people took the lead, leaving Haruna and the people from the underground grave of Nasalik to stay behind the door of the Dark Continent.
As soon as Anzi and Mare disappeared in front of everyone, Yarbed and Shatiya could not help it, "Mr. Haluna! We have heard of it! Lord Anzi said that you have found a new love in this world?!" Yarbed mentioned this matter in a forbearing tone. Her race is a little demon, and she is born with a strong sense of closeness to Haruna. When she was in another world, although she was crazy about Anzi, she also created many opportunities for herself and Anzi to be alone, and she was called "The King and the Queen should be together."
...Although Haruna completely couldn't understand what kind of weird point of view this was.
"That's right! I can't accept the people who come out casually!" Xia Tiya suggested. It's really rare that these two people have a unified view. They usually fight to the death.
"...No, what the hell is the new love? I don't even have the old love. Where did this new love jump out?" Haruna complained weakly, "And, where are there any casual people..."
In fact, she was very ashamed to meet these people. You should know that the NPCs in this group of games have deep complaints about the union players who abandoned them. Although they never said that, Anzi and Haruna both understood that Haruna had done the same thing as other guild members, and she should be the object of rejection by everyone... But she always felt that her status was as transcendent as before?
"You don't have to hide it anymore!" Yaerbaid said excitedly. She didn't seem to be happy, but... a little unhappy. "Where is that new love? Is he here? If possible, please let us see him." As she said that, she turned her head and murmured in a rather gloomy tone: "Let me see what's good about that Bichi, which can actually compare Lord Anzi!"
Haruna: "..." After a long time no see, Yarbede hasn't changed at all.
Haruna, who thought it was her illusion, confirmed when Dimigos spoke that this was not her own care, but... Her status was really as transcendent as ever!
"Yarbede, I don't think there is anything strange about Lord Haluna having a new love," Dimiugos, who is the shortest strength of the Guardians, has always won by his wisdom that is superior to ordinary people. Therefore, everyone listened very attentively as soon as he spoke. "As the queen of the underground grave of Nasalik, Lord Haluna naturally has the same status as Lord Anzi. You have also said that as the supreme Lord Anzi, there will not be only one person in the harem of Lord Anzi, then Lord Haluna should do the same."
Haruna was really shocked by Dimigos' remarks! This, such an equal relationship between men and women actually emerged from a big demon's mouth!
What's even more terrifying is that everyone thought for a few seconds after hearing his remarks, and even Shatiya and Yaerbaid, who were upset on Anzi, calmed down.
"But, Dimigus, you don't want to stuff yourself into Lord Haluna's harem reserves, right?" Shatiya glanced at him with a squinted look.
"Oh, this kind of ambition sounds really interesting," Dimigos avoided the answer to this question without any anger at being joking.
Haruna looked at the shaking tail behind Dimiugos and fell into silence for a moment.
"...You are a good person, Dimiugos." Haruna said dryly.
"Ah, so sushi, I'm rejected, Dimiugos." Mare's sister Yaura said teasingly.
Haruna was very strange at this time, why... everyone's attitude towards themselves is so natural? She should be considered one of the betrayers.
Soon, all her questions were explained. Anzi and Mare used teleportation magic to come back again. They both quickly found the right path to the Dark Continent. It has to be said that although they are both full-level, many times the magician Anzi's skills are still more convenient than that of Haruna, a pure warrior.
In this way, Anzi and Mare brought everyone to the depths of the Dark Continent with teleportation array. As NPCs in the game world, they were used to all kinds of gloomy and terrible environments. Moreover, the large underground tomb of Nassalic itself is not a good place with pleasant scenery, so it is not important for everyone to be in such a desolate and bizarre place.
"Haluna, is this place OK? Mare and I have explored this continent. This place should be considered the central part of the Dark Continent. The reconnaissance scroll has also been used. It should be the safest place in this continent and is still suitable for the growth of a baby." Anzi concluded.
But when he said the word baby, everyone's eyes widened, and they all looked at Haruna's...a belly.
"No, no! I don't mean that! It's not Haluna's child!" Anzi explained hurriedly! As if to cover up his mistake, Anzi coughed lightly, "Dimiugos, take out the scroll."
"Yes, Lord Anzi." Then, Dimigos began to take out a bunch of scrolls from his game backpack. He explained by the way: "This is Lord Anzi's equipment for you to explore the other world. Considering that you are alone and have no supplies, Lord Anzi has prepared these things early in the morning before coming, and is waiting to give them to you in person."
Looking at the pile of scrolls as high as a hill, Haruna lost his words for a moment. This kind of thing... Even Anzi's reserves were not particularly large, and it was very troublesome to make them. As a result, he prepared so much for himself in one breath.
"Please accept it, Haluna." Anzi said gently, "just assume that you are the resource supply for us in a different world to explore the resources in a different world."
Haruna opened her eyes slightly when she heard this. It turned out... Anzi had always beautified himself in this way to other guardians?
Anzi seemed to see her shock, and he raised a finger to put it on his lips, making her silent.
Dimigos unquestionably stuffed all the scrolls to Haruna. Just as he finished all this, a black vortex appeared in the void, and the door to another world appeared.
"Since we have seen Lord Haluna safe and sound, our mission has been completed this time." Xia Tiya raised her skirt and bowed slightly to Haruna. After saying that, she walked into the passage.
"Looking forward to your return." Corsettes also saluted Haruna.
"Your room is always the same, and you are always waiting for your return." The old butler Sebass said respectfully to Haruna, and the maids behind him all bowed together.
Mare and Yawula briskly said goodbye to Haruna and walked into the passage hand in hand.
Yaerbaid walked up with some sigh, "You don't have to work so hard," she looked at Haruna and said with distress. "You can sit comfortably in the underground grave of Nasalik and hand over everything to our guardians, instead of running around for us alone."
"I..." Haruna spoke dryly, but she didn't know what to say.
"You don't have to care. I just hope that you can return to the big grave as soon as possible. Lord Ainz, he really misses you." After saying that, she walked into the passage calmly regardless of Anzi's crazy look at her side.
Dimigos was very brief. He just smiled at Haruna and turned away, "This kind of time should be left to Lord Anzi."
Finally, everyone was exposed, leaving only Anzi alone here.
"...Why tell everyone that I'm going to another world to find resources for the big grave? Tell them directly that I'm the same as everyone else..."
"But you didn't do that," Anzi cut off her words in a gentle voice, "Do you still remember? You said before leaving and you will definitely find a way to see us again. So, I just thought of a good reputation for your actions, and I did nothing else for the rest of my life."
These unreasonable words made Haruna laugh.
Looking at her, An Zi sighed long, "You must have discovered it," An Zi spread out her palms, and a brooch lay there quietly. The sapphire-set was left with metal frames. "Actually, I have discovered that it can allow me to come to you, but it is a disposable and time-consuming. I originally wanted to wait until you will use it on your birthday two months later, but I went ahead." As he said that, he smiled and took back his hand, "This is just an early birthday gift. How about it, is it a surprise?"
Haruna's throat choked and slowed down, and then she whispered: "But, after you do this... we will never meet again."
Anzi said dismissively: "That's worth mentioning than your safety, not to mention, aren't you always looking for ways to meet us again? So, it doesn't matter."
Haruna fell into silence for a moment, "...I will never go to the hero world to be a hero again afterwards. After experiencing the incident of Meluem, I already know how ridiculous it is to live in the human world as I am currently."
Looking at her stubborn and sad expression, An Zi rubbed her head helplessly, "I'm saying childish words again, and I'm obviously here to this point."
"It's not a child's word," Haruna frowned and pushed away his skeleton hand. "Meruelim paid his life for such a thing. Could it be that I should also jump in like a fool even if I know the dangers are there?"
"Then, I'll be the second you," Anzi announced strongly in an undeniable tone, "At that time, I will do what you are doing now, and Haluna just needs to follow her own heart."
Haruna looked up at him in a daze, then lifted the mud under her feet in a piss, "Why do you have to do this..."
"Because, your expression was very dazzling when you said you wanted to be a hero." Anzi's voice suddenly became ethereal. Haruna looked up and saw Anzi's figure gradually dissipating.
"Anzi!" Haruna hurriedly grabbed his hand, but only caught a piece of air.
Anzi laughed, "Haluna, stop talking childish words. From now on, you must face your heart well." When his last words fell, Anzi's figure completely disappeared.
Haruna stared at her hand and lost her mind for a moment.
Is her heart...? Now, even she herself is a little confused about what she wants.
With this heavy mood, Haruna released all the Chimera ants from the Warcraft container-
The birth of Meluem happened the next day when the queen of the ant arrived at the Dark Continent. Accompanied by Chunna and Nephebet, the queen of the ant, the queen gave birth to Meluem. However, when he opened his scarlet eyes, he immediately looked towards Haruna. It was not the queen of the ant or Nephebett, but he was straight and staring at Haruna as if no one was around.
His curled body stretched out instantly, his long and powerful tail swayed slightly, and then Meluim stood up from the ground.
Haruna's existence was very attractive to Meluím. He stared at Haruna with scarlet eyes for a while before slowly coming out of his lost state. Facing Haruna, he always had a very wonderful feeling, but he could not clearly describe it with the words and knowledge that existed in his mind. "Who are you?" This is the limit that the newly born Meluím can express.
He ignored the amazement around him, nor did he pay attention to the three guards and the queen who cried with joy. He only cared about the answers of the people opposite him.
Haruna looked at him with a sigh of relief and showed a shallow smile. She stepped forward and stretched out her right hand and covered Meluaim's face. Meluaim did not avoid her movements, but let her claws carefully rub her face. He could feel a continuous stream of power pouring into his body from Haruna's hands.
"What are you doing?" Meluim asked in confusion.
To be continued...
