Noir glanced at Antony's information.
[Name]: Antony…
[Power]: 513
[Past]:...
[Present]:...
[Future]:...
…
This person is still much weaker than Alva. From this city's perspective, he is already among the strongest people, but to the outside world, he is just an ordinary person.
During this time, captain Antony absentmindedly looked at Alva standing next to him. Suddenly his pupils shrank and he almost jumped up.
At first, Antony thought the blonde girl with a serious face was just some kind of female maid. But now he discovered that the mana wave radiating from the girl's body was much stronger than his own.
However, that is not the main point.
The point is, the badge on her chest.
That is the emblem of the Knight Association!
With the complexity of that badge, this young woman is 100% not an ordinary member of the Knight Association. This could even be a captain, or even… a Legion Commander.
The leader of an army, not to mention taking action herself, just one command from her is enough to destroy the entire city of Jelro. Even though the Knight Association's style of action has always been the "good side" and has never done so.
All in all, with her status, it was entirely possible for Alva to receive hospitality on par with that of nobles or royalty. Rather than standing still here as a bodyguard.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Seeing Antony looking blankly at Alva, Noir politely asked a question.
"No...nothing sir..."
Antony forced a reluctant smile. He then stood up and bowed again.
"Once again, thank you for saving this city. If you don't mind, we would like to leave now."
"..."
The smile on Noir's face froze like ice.
He hasn't even started marketing the store's services yet and customers already want to run away?
"Ah, I have one more important thing to do. Our mayor wanted to ask you when you have free time."
"Hope you understand, the mayor didn't want to waste your time so he sent us here to ask first."
"It's okay, you guys can come by anytime."
Noir understood that Antony was just a messenger, his leader was his true customer.
After walking out of the store, Antony was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
This God seems to be a God on the side of goodness. The preliminary exchange seems to have been a great success, now they just need the mayor to continue promoting it.
…
The following two days, everything passed very peacefully.
Alva is almost always by Noir's side, seemingly about to transform into his bodyguard. When there are no customers in the shop, she will often practice and hone her swordsmanship.
In the past two days, no major customers have visited. Only a few people living around here came to ask him for advice.
These requests mostly revolve around work pressure, family relationships,... in general, quite trivial issues. Noir doesn't even need to use the system, he just needs to use his knowledge and worldview to easily solve them. Of course, because these things aren't worth much, Noir doesn't get paid.
Right now, he was only looking to Alva's master, the Sword God.
Right now, Noir is sitting on a chair with his left leg resting on his right leg. One hand was resting on his chin, leaning to one side, the other hand was holding a cup of tea. Sometimes, Noir will gently shake the tea cup, then look into it. This action made Alva standing nearby also feel confused.
Alva of course doesn't understand.
Because how could she have imagined that inside that tiny cup of tea there was a mini planet?
Inside the teacup is a rotating planet. Even though it's only as small as a ping pong ball, this planet possesses amazing detail. There are seas, mountains, plains... it's just that this planet is so "dead", there is basically no living creature at all. Not to mention animals, not even trees exist.
This is, of course, the work of Noir. He is a normal person, but inside the store he has the power of almighty.
But it seems that power does not come with wisdom.
Noir tries to recreate his previous planet, but the result is failure, nothing can live there, they are not even born.
At first, Noir thought it was because the place lacked sunlight, but even if he added more sunlight, the situation would not change. He thought that perhaps this planet needed a moon to regulate its gravity, but the result was still the same as the sun.
In the end, Noir once again watched as the planet he worked so hard to build crumbled into dust, mixed with the tea and disappeared.
He drank the entire cup of tea, then sighed.
Perhaps it's not because he lacks the sun, the moon or anything else like that. But he failed because he didn't understand.
Noir knows that life needs the sun to arise, but he doesn't know what "sunlight" is. The sunlight he created is most likely a genocidal ray that destroyed all life without him even knowing.
That deepened his awareness. That powerful power of the system is just a borrowed power, it belongs to The Truth, not him.
"Alva, your master hasn't arrived yet?"
"Sir... perhaps my master is delayed by something..."
Alva replied back to him.
Yesterday she also contacted Sword God again. Her master was supposed to come here this morning, but now it's almost noon and not even the shadow of the Sword God has appeared. This makes Alva very awkward.
At this moment, a powerful deep male voice rang out outside.
"I am Sword God August, may I come inside?"
"Just go ahead."
Noir was less upset, finally the prey... ah, the store's second biggest customer had arrived!
The person who entered was a middle-aged man with an extremely stylish face. He had chestnut-colored hair divided into two equal bangs, with a ponytail behind. Although he also carried a sword at his waist, this person was not wearing armor. Makes him look like a normal swordsman.
