Chapter 90 I am your fan and I have come to your house

"You, you got the wrong person, I..."

Xio swallowed and subconsciously denied the words of the person in front of her. The authority of the "arbitrator" she mentioned had disappeared completely. Her right hand had already reached for the three-edged spike at her waist, ready to resist.

"Really? I was originally doubting whether you were a Beyonder... but I just recognized you. Um, there was an Beyonder gathering a few days ago... Are you connected to the military? Or a noble?"

Old Blue had no intention of contacting these two ladies, at least not at Mr. A's party.

But it’s not possible now. Audrey’s mentality may be problematic. The Tarot Club urgently needs another lady to balance the ratio of men to women and give Audrey some psychological support.

The best person is Fors. The full moon curse is too deadly. Old Blue can help to offset it, but that requires him to be with Fors all the time. When the full moon comes, he can just enter the "puddle" to hide, but... it is always inconvenient.

On the other hand, the three major churches began to investigate the East District, and Hugh Dilcha, a well-known "arbitrator" in the East District, is likely to be investigated... and she can't stand such an investigation.

And the strict investigation triggered by Old Blue led to Xio being imprisoned in the basement of the church... That would be too embarrassing. Would Fors use his connections to save him? It might not work this time.

"I don't understand what you are talking about! You have invaded our home! According to the laws of Loen, I rule that you should be punished!"

Xio's face regained its dignity, and a three-edged spear with a cold glow appeared in her right hand, which stabbed fiercely at the old man's... well, beard, but couldn't reach his head.

Hearing that something was wrong, Fors quickly stood up and ran to the door. She had already pulled a stone off her bracelet and was ready to take Xiou away. She only saw Xiou leaning forward at the door, as if all the strength in her body was pressed on the three-edged spike in her right hand.

Fors looked along the three-edged thorn and saw an elderly gentleman who looked familiar. There were phantom green scales on his neck. He used his lower jaw to clamp the gleaming weapon in Xio's hand...

“Fors! Run! I’m no match for him!” Beads of sweat appeared on Xio’s forehead. He shouted loudly without looking back.

Gulp, Fors swallowed his heart with great effort. He held the stone tightly in his right hand and said with a smile on his face:
"Excuse me, is there any misunderstanding here? Xio is a bounty hunter with a bad temper... Please forgive me... Both my bank account and hers have gold pounds in them, at least 1000 pounds... I am an ordinary best-selling author, and I have a steady stream of royalties..."

"Oh? Really? Then, can you please live in the small dark room from now on and update every day? If you don't update, you won't be allowed to eat..."

The old voice was somewhat gentle, but it sounded like the devil's muttering to Fors! Damn! How is that possible! I didn't become a writer to be so busy every day! Her smile became brighter and brighter, and she said:

"Okay, as long as you don't kill us, everything will be fine. Well, Hugh, come here and invite this gentleman in. We have the best Marquis black tea and Filmore coffee. Please allow us to entertain you..."

"Thank you very much. You see, I didn't attack you the whole time. It was your friend who attacked me first. I didn't mean any harm to you..."

Xio's right hand was shaking a little as he tried to take back the triangular spike and pulled it back very easily.

"Door!" Fors shouted in ancient Hermetic language, and firmly grasped Hugh Dilcha, who took two steps back, waiting for the stone in his right palm to emit an illusory light of light blue.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even if she used up another stone... there was still a way to save her life...

Xio turned her head with some confusion in her eyes. At this moment, Fors realized that the fantastic scenery that she was about to see before did not appear, and the two of them did not disappear from the spot. The old man was still in front of them.

She looked up and saw only the mouse ornament on the old man's right shoulder. Around his neck was a bracelet exactly the same as hers, with two rough dark green stones hanging on it. The surface of the stones was full of burn marks and was uneven.

She looked to the left again and saw a similar stone in the old man's outstretched right hand.

"Oh, what a coincidence, he actually has the same magical item as me..."

Fors looked down in despair. The bracelet that was supposed to be on her left wrist that was pressed on Xio's shoulder had disappeared...

"I told you I mean no harm to you. I'm even a fan of your work, Stormwind Heights, right? Unfortunately, I didn't bring a book with me so I could ask you to sign it for me..."

“I don’t want to visit you in this way… But, now that things have come to this, can you allow me to come in and talk?
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Blue from Tingen, and I’m a retired Made Punisher.

"If you are dissatisfied with my attitude, you are welcome to complain to me."

Fors and Xio's eyes were filled with confusion, then horror and fear. Punisher! This term is a scourge in the wild Beyonder circle! Rumor has it that many Beyonders were killed on the spot after being exposed, or captured and imprisoned in the dark underground to be used as experimenters for magical items! It's over!

Xio's triangular spike was once again placed in front of him, trying to put up a desperate resistance.

Old Blue had a helpless look on his face. After he revealed his identity, the two became even more frightened. He had no choice but to walk forward on his own and close the door to prevent his conversation from being heard by irrelevant people. He continued:

"Hugh Dilcher, the 'Arbitrator' of the East District, I have heard of your name. I used official channels to check your address. Well, I didn't bring any other Mandated Punishers with me. That should prove something, right?
"And Miss Wall, I am really a fan of your work. Well, Emperor Roselle should have said this word, which means book fan."

Seeing that the two were still on guard and tense, Old Blue had no choice but to bring up my comments:
"I am different from other Made Punishers. I don't think every Beyonder who doesn't belong to us is a potential criminal. This is unfair to those who yearn for order and kindness.

"I have heard about what Ms. Dilcha did in the East District. I don't think you are that kind of person who relies on extraordinary and unscrupulous means. The same goes for Ms. Wall. You are a legitimate writer and a clinic doctor before. These are both respectable professions."

Huh, Xio and Fors were obviously relieved. They looked at each other, both a little puzzled. How could there be such a reasonable person among the Made Punishers? Well, I have never dealt with Made Punishers before... It's mainly because those grumpy old pigeons have a great reputation outside, so everyone avoids them...

“Excuse me, why are you visiting so unusually today? Is there something going on?” Fors looked at the bracelet hanging around Mouse’s neck, suppressed all her uneasiness, and asked with courage.

　thanks for watching!
