Chapter Nine, Glory

Strong individuals have come here in pursuit of the glory of the seventy-seven radiant wheels, yet they find themselves confronted with the fear of death. Because most people lack faith and there are no legal constraints in this place, power has become everything. People resort to plunder, and life has become cheaper than grass; one group discusses murder techniques among themselves and then applies those techniques on another group as practice

"Huh? Who's there?" A faint sound of water could be heard, and through the mist, a figure slowly approached Ade. As it came into clearer view, it turned out to be a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl, who was curiously observing Ade.

Ade had also encountered many skilled individuals, but compared to the Norwegian warriors, their techniques were not particularly advanced. Wayne and James had trained with Ade, and Vam had his own methods. Although Berman's simple knife was light, it was full of tricks. The warriors were formidable, each capable of taking down opponents, whether human or divine. It was difficult to find rivals on the island who could match them, which left Ade feeling quite disappointed. Wayne and James had trained with Ade, and Vam had his own methods. Although Berman's simple knife was light, it was full of tricks. The warriors were formidable, each capable of taking down opponents, whether human or divine. It was difficult to find rivals on the island who could match them, which left Ade feeling quite disappointed

The island appeared to be thriving, and the previous atmosphere of brutality seemed to have vanished; even the morning and evening mists did not seem as dense. Cedric expressed his astonishment at this outcome and apologized to Ad, who accepted it. He opened the scroll, and the first task emerged on the parchment: to subdue the last unicorn. It is reported that during the Battle of Zeklerus in the year 700 AD, the unicorns gathered in the Pyrenees as the main force against the Thunderbird to assist their trusted Visigoth king. However, the Muslim general Tariq opened the gates of hell, summoning the unicorn's natural enemy, the red bulls. The red bulls, engulfed in hellfire, drove the herd of unicorns to the ends of the earth. Yet, one unicorn that fell behind could not find its companions and remained in the Odin Forest. It was harmless to both humans and animals, living a solitary and leisurely life in the forest. However, our next task requires its assistance, so it must be subdued.

In the year 1095, Pope Urban II observed the tightening situation along the borders of Europe, as large numbers of wounded soldiers retreated from the front lines, having been attacked by vast armies of Muslims. Increasingly, monstrous creatures and giants appeared in those regions, and worse still, they described horrifying scenes of the Holy Land being ravaged by pagans. At that time, primitive agriculture in Europe could not sustain a sufficient population, and unemployment and famine inevitably led to unrest. The territorial disputes with Muslims were unavoidable, and after losing the colonies in West Asia, the issues of land and food became insurmountable. Thus, at the Council of Clermont in France, the Pope rose dramatically, depicting the once picturesque landscapes of the Holy Land during the time of Moses, flowing with milk, and called upon knights and the people to rescue Palestine from the hands of the Turks.

This task is rather perplexing, yet it seems quite interesting. Riding a unicorn into battle would surely provide excellent stamina! Ade has always been concerned that wearing armor would be too burdensome, and he lacks a suitable horse. It is said that unicorns can withstand lightning strikes, and they possess many rare and wonderful qualities.

We are all waiting for our goddess! We shall nominate our Miss Brigitte as the Queen of the Forest

Alright! Ade took Plack with him, made a lasso, and entered the forest with water and provisions. Before leaving, Cindy purchased a blacksmith shop, intending to design a suit of knight's armor for Ade. Ade earnestly advised her: "There is no need to worry about the weight of the armor; just do your best, and I will return with the new horse"

Faced with the strange provocation, Ad's heart felt a twinge of unease, while the Plak trembled gently in his hand, as if to tell him that this choice was the right one

Adé could not help but stop chewing, holding a half piece of bread in his mouth, with his hands clasped behind his head, squinting his eyes to observe closely, feeling an indescribable pleasure. The young woman seemed to notice his gaze and suddenly changed direction, swimming straight towards him. Up to this point, the young woman had not said a single word, and Adé, immersed in this harmonious atmosphere, did not react at all.

It is like this, "Ad understood, someone has cast a strange barrier in the hot spring, " then, have you ever seen a unicorn?"

Bugs Bunny: "That's it!"

Piglet: "Are you a pig? You can't even speak English!"

Ad knew almost immediately what he should do. Just as Cindy had comforted him, he stepped forward, knelt down, and gently lifted the unicorn's head with his hands, resting it softly on his lap, continuously caressing its mane with affection. The unicorn gradually calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

From today onwards, I am your master, do you agree

Brigitte

The young woman, having had her fill of watching Ade, shifted her attention elsewhere. Suddenly, she leaned back and changed to a backstroke, swimming leisurely on her own. In an instant, she revealed a pair of petite and firm jade-like breasts, two pink cherries that were indescribably enticing

For a month, Ade has defeated two challengers every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This regularity is thanks to the loyal watch of the Norwegian warriors; no one dares to attack Ade privately and can only challenge him to a public competition according to the rules. The methods of competition here are varied, with various arenas resembling torture chambers for interrogating prisoners, where lively individuals enter, and at most one emerges standing. The most distinctive is the Hall of the Two-Headed Dragon, where both duelists have their necks shackled to either end of an iron chain, which passes through the ceiling. Thus, if one person exerts force, they can lift the other and strangle them.

Thus, if one person exerts force, they can lift the other and strangle them. People must not only fight each other but also be wary of having their own necks strangled, resulting in a very high probability of death. There was once a heavyset individual who hoped to compensate for the strength gap with Ade using his weight, as Ade's body is not heavy; if suspended in the air, no amount of strength would help. Unfortunately, the gold rings on Ade weighed over one hundred pounds, leading to a significant misjudgment on his part, and he was instead nearly killed by Ade, who made him obediently hand over two gold rings.

It is a wolf, it is a wolf! It is a duck, it is a duck! It is a donkey, it is a donkey...

Old Wolf: "Why aren't you speaking?"

A soft giggle came from behind, reaching Ade's ears, evoking an indescribable feeling that was both delightful and distinctly unique. He couldn't help but recall the laughter of Chunmei, Xitan, Zumuerde, and Cindy, yet none of those memories elicited the same sensation as this one. It was as if there were two different sounds; upon closer inspection, it was indeed a woman's laughter, but it seemed impossible for any woman to produce such a sound. For a moment, Ade was entranced, standing still with his upper body bare and his pants in hand, lost in thought.

This kind of cultivation is utterly meaningless; what one gains is only vanity, not honor. To die for the sake of vanity is not the belief I seek. Moreover, I can only find so much. The rest, I do not know where it has wandered off to, and I do not wish to spend time and effort retrieving it from the hands of collectors. I will find a cultivation path that is more suitable for me

The crowd became noisy, and the sacred light once again flickered in their hearts. They chose the path of the knight once more, but this time, it could be entirely different

Stay! You coward! Are you planning to run away after defeating us? We will bring you down!

No wonder you are so thin! That rabbit, why are you here?

"Bijie, this is our secret; we must not let anyone see you transform. You must remember this well." Ade said as he sat on Bijie's waist, gently patting her bottom. "Now, let's return to the hot spring."

Ade felt the object in his arms expanding continuously, as if the earth were shaking violently. A branch swept across Ade's face, jolting him awake from a peak of ecstasy he had never experienced before

Having spoken, Ade turned around, intending to step onto the gangplank and leave. However, the doctor once again stopped him: "You have not truly understood this island; there are entirely different challenges here that will benefit you immensely. Do you not wish to give it a try?" She turned to the crowd and shouted: "Will you leave with an uncertain heart? Or are you willing to stay for the sake of pure honor? Even without the Seventy-Seven Radiant Wheels, honor can still be attained! I assure you!"

"It is all your fault! You have destroyed the prosperity of this place!" Cedric glared fiercely at Ad, wanting to cast the most powerful spell to bring Ad to his demise, as dark clouds gathered above his head. Ad, without hesitation, drew the Sword of Plak.

"Fool! Fool!"

Damn! What if that guy plays hide and seek with me? I should first find out what unicorns like to eat, then set up a basket on the side and wait! Oh, no, wait, I should hide on the side and trap it with a rope, then... Ah, horses and *picture* books! A great discovery!

As Ade approached the Odin Forest alone, the residents of the island began to construct a lighthouse, and Cindy started designing the patterns for the armor. Little did they know that the structure of the world was undergoing a dramatic transformation, the impact of which was unprecedented.

This is much better! Ade is soaking in the hot spring again, surrounded by complete silence, with only the steam rising.

Ade strolled alone in the Odin Forest to undertake a new trial. The island was undergoing tremendous changes, and Ade felt that the most significant moment of his life was about to arrive

The doctor seems to have a connection with the temple; she reports everything to the temple and has brought back new trial conditions from it. If the four tasks listed in the conditions are completed, one can receive a personal grant from Xiluda and become a knight. Unlike Ade, others have spontaneously established a knightly guild on the island, training according to the newly formulated rules and learning from each other. They even put up large banners everywhere: "Down with Richard? Norman, bring him down!" Remarkably, they formed an organization of two hundred people within two days! Some even maintained public order! Xiluda expressed appreciation for this and specifically sent a messenger, agreeing to hold a martial arts competition at the end of each year, with the top ten warriors becoming knights.

The young lady was not shy at all; not only did she not scream, but she also laughed while swimming. Ade was drawn by the sound of splashing water and turned around, instantly captivated by the scene before him—a young lady was emerging from the water, her golden hair cascading over her smooth, fair shoulders, half of it floating in the water, resembling a lotus flower rising from the water. What caught Ade's attention was her truly emerald-green eyes, the curious pupils surveying him, their clarity indescribable, set against her slightly thin, oval face, making her eyes appear quite large.

What caught Ade's attention was her truly emerald-green eyes, the curious pupils surveying him, their clarity indescribable, set against her slightly thin, oval face, making her eyes appear quite large, and her exquisite face had a translucent quality that gave it a boneless feeling, with lines that were indescribably soft.

So tight! So comfortable! Ade had already lost track of how the girl's cries were different from others; this girl was unique from head to toe. After hundreds of thrusts, the girl gradually surrendered and began to cooperate. Her legs were unusually long, which greatly pleased Ade. He changed his position to a riding style, encouraging the girl to lift her hips as much as possible, and he thrust vigorously. The girl experienced wave after wave of climax, crying out incessantly. Ade, still unsatisfied, tightly grabbed the girl's golden hair from behind, preventing her from escaping, and intensified his thrusts. The girl fell into madness, her body trembling uncontrollably, emitting frantic cries. Ade also reached his climax, feeling as if he were floating, the surroundings began to spin, and everything started to rapidly retreat.

Before long, the young woman reached the shore. She climbed up but did not stand, instead resting on all fours, her eyes fixed on Ade's face, allowing droplets of water to trickle down from her hair and along her long, fair neck to gather at her breasts, flowing down in a gentle cascade, her posture indescribably alluring. She seemed a bit frightened, yet ultimately mustered the courage to crawl over gently, her movements imbued with a wild temptation that left Ade stunned and at a loss. The young woman crawled all the way to Ade, softly landing in his embrace, suddenly parting her cherry lips to take the bread that Ade had in his mouth. Ade was completely dumbfounded, allowing the young woman to do as she pleased while he feared that even the slightest movement might startle her. After finishing the bread outside her mouth, she began to lick Ade's lips, emitting a few soft "murmurs" as if she had an insatiable craving for the bread. As Ade slightly parted his lips, the young woman's tongue eagerly slipped in, meticulously licking every possible spot, sweet saliva continuously oozing from the tip of her tongue, gradually mixing with Ade's saliva. Ade could no longer hold back, slowly teasing with his tongue, and the young woman's tongue was lured deeper, transforming into a breathless, passionate kiss.

Adé: "... ... Since you have all spoken, what more can I say?"

Ad's head hurt badly, and he decided to leave these ridiculous people behind, so he picked up his clothes and moved to a quieter place

Am I not riding a horse? Ah—!

However, it is not right to make Old Wolf eat vegetarian...

"Bijie, when I speak to you, you must listen attentively. If you wish to be human, you must learn to concentrate. By expressing the barrier in English, it indicates your desire to live in a human manner. The essence of humanity is that we must help each other. Regarding this matter, it should be as follows..."

Adé : `` ... ... ''

"You cannot take the golden rings away!" The shopkeeper Cedric appeared at the port, his robe billowing in the wind, his long hair flying: "If you take the golden rings away, this place will be finished! No one will come here again! If you must leave, I will summon a storm to bury you at the bottom of the sea!"

Bugs Bunny: "He won't be able to do it, only we can!"

Piglet: "Look at my swimming style!"

In an instant, the people of the entire European continent were enraged. The men threw down their hammers, walked out of the shops, and headed towards the nearest road to the East to kill the Turks, while the children also left their homes "to go to Palestine"

The unicorn looked at Ade with its large green eyes, seemingly understanding yet not fully comprehending. Suddenly, it got up and gently nudged the tip of Ade's nose with its own, as if to provide a response

Nonsense! It is the most perfect rabbit

What is a unicorn? I have never seen one, never seen one!

I am waiting for my goddess! She dislikes violence, so I can just eat vegetarian.

Ade could no longer bear to listen: "You bunch of thieves! Stop right there!"

They dared not go against Ade's wishes and began to make preparations. Thus, the next day, this news shocked the small island. People, with a strange mood, gradually threw down varying amounts of money, and then many gathered together, planning to quietly leave the island by boat with the golden rings and memories of humiliation. They could no longer continue to compete under Ade's disdain; such golden rings no longer held glory. They only wished to take the rings as mementos, allowing the seventy-seven radiant wheels to forever remain a legend

Damn! Ade immediately abandoned that pile of treasures and sought other clues

Hmm? Beatrice's mouth has not yet finished its work, and Adé is gradually feeling pleasure, unable to continue speaking below...

When the young woman realized that the bread was indeed gone, and she was tightly embraced by Ade without knowing when, she became anxious and wanted to escape. However, her head was held tightly, her mouth was firmly captured, and Ade's tongue was entangled with hers. At the same time, a hard object pressed against her hips, constantly rubbing between her legs. Ade gave her no chance to resist, holding her tightly and kissing her passionately. The young woman struggled anxiously, her blocked mouth emitting muffled sounds, her body continuously rubbing against Ade's bare chest. Due to being held so tightly, an unusual elasticity from her breasts transmitted from Ade's chest, providing him with immense stimulation. Finally, the valley gradually became lubricated, and Ade forcefully embraced the young woman's snow-white hips, thrusting deeply inside her. At last, her mouth was freed, and she tossed her golden hair, emitting strange moans.

"Can't you speak?" Ade activated his mental powers, "As long as you think seriously in your mind, it's enough. What is your name?"

The Ugly Duckling: "But he shouted out..."

Ad stopped Brigitte's strange actions, bent down, and patiently helped her clean. Brigitte quickly learned and reciprocated by helping Ad clean.

Whirlwind Knight Island is truly a peculiar place; the longer one stays here, the more one feels its incredibility

Brigitte felt somewhat wronged; it is the nature of unicorns to run, especially after having suffered a significant injury. "Alas, humans are truly complicated!" Whoever is riding on top is the boss, so she had no choice but to accept it.

"Stop! It was not he who destroyed the prosperity here!" A crisp voice rang out, yet it carried a formidable authority. The crowd parted, and a woman cloaked entirely in black approached. Ade knew she was the only doctor in this place, a very mysterious woman. She had been practicing medicine here for nearly a century, though no one had ever seen her face, nor did anyone know her true age, despite her youthful voice. Whenever someone was brought to her doorstep, she would appear, charging a modest fee to miraculously heal those on the brink of death, her medical skills astonishing all who witnessed them. Then she would vanish; no one had ever seen her leave her house, nor did anyone know her name, so she was simply referred to as 'the doctor.' This was her first time stepping out of her house to appear in public, and out of respect and astonishment at this act, everyone came to a halt.

Adair turned to Cedric and said: "I will not destroy the prosperity of the island. From now on, those who wish to come here are doing so for their own pure honor, not in pursuit of vanity"

Adé has been traveling in the forest for a day, inquiring about the whereabouts of the unicorn from all the animals. However, most of the responses he received were related to the bread in his bag

Soon, the first batch of thieves appeared—they were struggling to carry a plack, not having gone far. Ade was quite surprised, as the thieves were not large, formidable raptors, but rather a swarm of tiny fairies, each no bigger than a palm. It was the first time Ade had seen forest fairies; these little beings resembled humans and had butterfly-like wings, busily working at that moment—"Put in some effort! This must be worth a lot!" "I can't do it anymore! I can't! Let's take a break..." "Don't let go! More are coming from behind..." "Old Dragon loves gems the most; with such a fine gem set on it, it will surely fetch a good price!"

With this, I will lie in ambush by the lakeside, waiting for its appearance. This tactic is quite renowned, akin to the strategy of waiting by the tree stump for a rabbit as described in Sun Tzu's Art of War

Beatrice admitted it. It turned out that Beatrice had been unable to find companions for hundreds of years and felt extremely lonely. She transformed into various animals to communicate with them, but found it quite inconvenient. Therefore, she created a strange barrier in the hot spring that allowed all animals entering to speak Old English. She was accustomed to transforming into whatever animal she encountered, so after discovering Adé, she turned into a human. However, she did not expect the consequences of her gluttony for bread to be this way

Ad asked the old wolf: "Why don't you catch rabbits?"

Then all her strange behaviors were simply a result of her nature. Adé looked at Biji and couldn't help but sigh, while Biji suddenly struck a difficult pose, lowered her head, and began to lick between her legs with her tongue

Adé arrived at the lakeside with great joy, only to find it not so easy, as the lake was indeed quite large, and many animals were frolicking there. Adé patiently observed for a while and noticed that there were no unicorns, but there was a spot where steam seemed to be rising, which caught Adé's attention. Adé walked over and discovered it was a hot spring

All of this was a matter of concern for a remote and mysterious island in the Faroe Islands only after a long time

Of course not, it can only be done in this hot spring

Suddenly, it became a cacophony, and a donkey from a distance also came over to join the commotion

"Are we leaving just like this?" The captain, who had just won the heart of a dancer, was reluctant to part from the tender embrace: "Your Highness, you have already collected fifty-seven gold rings, and you only need twenty more to complete the set. Why give up halfway?"

It is imperative to keep this secret, otherwise Zumu'er will not be able to bear it. Ade's mind is in disarray, unable to articulate what he is feeling

Adeb did not want to explain, but out of respect for the doctor, he reluctantly spoke: "Can you not distinguish between honor and vanity? What is obtained through theft means nothing to me. A true knight's honor is the very essence of his existence, not the number of people he has killed or victories he has won. The seventy-seven glorious wheels are merely embellishments; honor is my life!"

The doctor ignored Cindy's presence and slowly expressed her concerns to Ad: "For a month now, I have received two of your injured patients on time every day, yet I have never seen you appear. Thanks to you, I have hardly encountered any other casualties. It seems you have become the sole source of casualties here. However, I want to ask you, why give up the gold ring and honor that are within your grasp? You could very well become the only seventy-seven wheel warrior in decades."

Old Wolf: "Truly impolite!"

What do you think you are! Kill him! Those who wished to leave drew their weapons one after another

Ad felt quite astonished; this was not the result of mentalism. The animals here were truly speaking English. In the distance, there was a donkey singing while bathing: "Yesterday once more"

Adé has somewhat understood: "So the barrier in the hot spring was created by you?"

There is no production here; the sources of funds are either brought in or seized. However, the blacksmiths and inns here have never experienced a downturn in business, and merchants specifically transport goods to this place. Most people reside on small plains along the coast, and Odin's sacred mountain is the only peak in the area. Beyond that, the land is entirely covered by dense forests, which are home to many legendary monsters, making it easy to get lost. Therefore, it is not a good place for hunting; entering the forest is an adventure that concerns life and death.

"Bi Ji! You must not run so far next time! It's all your fault!"

The unicorn, which had suffered immense pain due to its gluttony, ran wildly for a long time before finally exhausting itself and collapsing onto the ground. Ade stood up, finally having the opportunity to carefully admire the true appearance of this beloved companion. The unicorn, entirely snow-white without a single stray hair, was now quietly lying on the ground, panting, and gazing at him with its emerald green eyes. Its horn, about a foot long, protruded from its forehead, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, illuminating its golden mane and casting a brilliant glow.

Time passes quickly in such a mood. When the sun sets behind the mountains, the unicorn awakens. It gently shakes its mane, and a beam of white light appears, gradually transforming into a young girl, still resting on Ade's lap, seemingly very reluctant to leave.

Adel let out a hysterical scream— the beautiful woman in his arms had somehow transformed into a rampaging unicorn, racing through vast forests, rocks, and streams at breakneck speed. Adel clung tightly to its neck, the wind rushing past his ears; if he fell, it would not be a trivial matter. Fortunately, the unicorn did not seem to intend to throw him off; it was simply running wildly. Even so, Adel felt waves of dizziness. The unicorn occasionally leaped, and the enormous chasms beneath its galloping hooves were merely insignificant obstacles. Adel lay steadily on the back of the unicorn, but his heart plummeted— "So, does this mean I was just riding a horse?"

After several twists and turns, Ade rode his pony back to the hot springs. "So, the first task is considered complete! What will the next one be?"

Miss Bi, is she a pig

Are you naturally able to speak English

There were no footprints nearby, yet everything had mysteriously vanished. The ability to remove heavy objects without leaving a trace led Ade to almost certainly conclude that the perpetrator was a large bird of prey, such as an eagle

Brigitte instantly transformed back into a horse, carrying Adé on her back. She looked around and then uttered a phrase that caused Adé to fall off: "Where are we?"

Ad gradually became intoxicated, slowly merging into the scenery, completely forgetting about the search for the unicorn. He sat down comfortably against a large tree by the lake and took out a piece of bread to nibble on. The young woman swam freely in the lake, exceptionally natural, floating and sinking in the water, like a fairy of the lake. Occasionally, a hint of fragrant grass would appear, which caught Ad's eye, causing an immediate reaction.

Ah—! I apologize! Ade has already lost his mind, not knowing why he needs to apologize. He quickly climbed ashore and hurriedly put on his pants.

Ad's imagination is quite limited, as the bags on the ground, the clothes strewn everywhere, and the 360-pound Plak sword have all disappeared

Of course, it is the most beautiful pig in the world! Little Piglet shouted.

Is it possible? Adé only then realized that his situation, completely unprepared, was quite dire. Who could it be? Who would it be? A pig? An old wolf? Three hundred and sixty jin!

Brigitte diligently sniffed the scents in the wind, attempting to locate the thief's trail. The lingering fragrance of pollen in the air caught her attention. "Got it!" Brigitte began to track the scent.

Finally, after sacrificing some breadcrumbs, Ad obtained useful information from a few larks: there is only one freshwater lake in the vicinity, and all large animals go there to drink water

No target was found, but discovering a hot spring is also quite nice! Ade took off his clothes, shouted loudly, and jumped in, splashing countless droplets of water, which drew complaints from other bathers

The doctor walked up to Ade and scrutinized him carefully. This action made Cindy very nervous, causing her to completely forget that the other person was an elderly woman, and she instinctively stood in front of Ade. "What are you doing?"

In an instant, losing the girl's gaze, Ade felt a strong sense of loss. However, he soon noticed that the girl's body lines were very soft; her figure was somewhat slender yet quite sturdy. Her legs accounted for nearly two-thirds of her height, an indescribable beauty, as if she were a person who should only exist in a painting—such proportions were unlikely to be found in an ordinary person

Adex looked at the horse manure with great delight, almost wanting to hold it in his hands, but he discovered something even more astonishing—a small wild horse produced an impressive amount right in front of him, and then proudly trotted away.

Sure, let's hold an auction tomorrow. I will sell all the gold rings, and then we will go to the United Kingdom
