Chapter 167 No One Can Judge Me, Not Even the King
Chapter 167 No One Can Judge Me, Not Even the King
Over a year had passed.
One day, Meredith suddenly realized, they had stayed in "historical re-enactment" for over a year; if the time flow in "historical re-enactment" was the same as in the real world, didn't that mean... they had been missing for over a year?
Members of the Bronze Guild came to this realization as well and after gathering to discuss it, they concluded that the time flow in "historical re-enactment" must be different from that in the real world.
The exact ratio was unknown to them, but they speculated that if they couldn't leave "historical re-enactment" before dying of old age, it was very likely they would actually die of old age there.
Knowing this, the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild unanimously decided that if they still hadn't found the key person who triggered "historical re-enactment" after thirty years, they would tell the mission of The Lost Golden City to the young master.
To help them break free from their predicament.
Because of the young master, the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild weren't in a hurry to leave "historical re-enactment."
If they truly couldn't find the key person to trigger the disappearance of "historical re-enactment," dying of old age with the young master wouldn't be so bad.
The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild realized that they hadn't been panicking for so long entirely because of the young master.
In reality, when doing a mission with Lord Lance, they would subconsciously depend on him.
Encountering the young master in "historical re-enactment," they once again felt the inclination to rely on him.
The young master lived up to their trust, assigning them work and teaching them to read and write. Over the past year, they had mastered the language of the Ande Kingdom and learned to write its characters.
Back in reality, if they encountered any ruins related to the Ande Kingdom, they could instantly become "archaeologists," comprehending everything from clothing, diet, culture, customs, to the history of the Ande Kingdom; they knew quite a lot.
As they lingered longer in "historical re-enactment" and spent more time with the young master, they noticed something.
It seemed that the young master sensed something. One day, while eating together, he advised them to avoid developing emotional entanglements with the people of the Eternal City.
If they weren't prepared to stay in the Eternal City forever, then they shouldn't form emotional attachments with its inhabitants.
Friendship was permissible, but not romantic love.
The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild firmly committed the young master's words to memory.
The young master wouldn't harm them.
While interacting with the citizens of the Eternal City, they gradually assimilated into the Eternal City, treating the people there as real individuals with flesh, blood, and feelings, rather than figments of an illusion.
Acting as a sheriff, once to save others, Matthews rushed into a blazing inferno with a sprayer on his back and rescued two children and an elderly person.
Time flew by, and another two years passed. In those two years, the young master had been assigned to serve on the frontier, where he saved a young general in the battles against the Barbarian Tribes.
Meredith, Matthews, Jerome, and Raisent, the four of them were brought by the young master to the Northern Borders, becoming his personal troops.
Louis, Dalton, and Bazel, along with the other members of the Bronze Guild, remained in the Eternal City.
Once, Matthews, Jerome, and Raisent asked the young master why he had made them his personal troops.
With a grin, the young master said, "I always feel like you guys owe me something... You need to work off your debt."
From that day forward, Matthews, Jerome, and Raisent never again brought out a shovel, sprayer, or axe in the presence of the young master...

How could the young master from over two thousand years ago percieve such things?
Moreover, this was the young master within "historical re-enactment."
In the year and more that young master served the Northern Borders, he defeated the Barbarian Tribes that ravaged the area multiple times with his talent and strategic intelligence.
He fought many textbook-level battles; in fact, every battle commanded by the young master was also incorporated into the Northern Borders' military manuals.
One thing not recorded was that whenever the young master realized there was a flaw in his strategies, he would take off his white robe, don heavy armor, pick up a large club... and with his valor, knock out the Barbarian soldiers who discovered the flaws and cast them aside.
In just two months, the young master had earned the recognition of many generals and soldiers in the Northern Borders.
The young general who was saved by the young master was a girl disguised as a boy.
Meredith did not disclose her discovery to the young master; she had no idea whether the young master in "historical re-enactment" would marry and have children.
The description of the corrupt official in the mission of Golden City was only a single sentence: The king used gold and precious stones obtained through the official's embezzlement to construct the Golden City.
No other records existed.
If the girl disguised as a boy was the young master's lover...
Or if she wasn't...
Late... Meredith found out that she was overthinking; the young master didn't care at all about the girl disguised as a boy.
A year and a half later, the Barbarian Tribes that frequently raided the Northern Borders signed a "ceasefire" pact with the Ande Kingdom; they swore to their deities that as long as the young master lived, they would never invade the Northern Borders again.
