Chapter 3875 Let's work, Valkyries!
Beautiful country, fire lulu.
The brilliance of the [Zhutian Sword Network] reflected a faint glow in the high sky... People who had already become accustomed to its existence were no longer alarmed.
After all, this has absolutely no impact on the daily lives of ordinary people.
There has been some impact – for example, this famously beautiful tourist destination has very few visitors at this time… However, since entering the supernatural world, the tourism industry worldwide has already suffered a terrible blow.
Numerous yachts are moored along the coastline, and they haven't been started for a long time.
A medium-to-large cruise ship is currently docked at the pier... It's the only cruise ship to depart from here in the past two weeks.
For customers who have been hard-won, the captain naturally goes to great lengths to provide the best service... personally greeting them is already standard practice.
"Mr. Bai Zhi, thank you again for your help."
But the captain, who was warmly greeting the passengers, had no idea that among those about to board would be a group of Valkyries on the wanted list.
After all, no one could have imagined that someone could break through the restrictions of the [Heavenly Slaying Sword Network] – during this period, it wasn't that no non-human beings from the United States had tried to smuggle themselves out in various ways.
In fact, all of these people have been ruthlessly killed by the [Zhutianjianwang]... Too many failed cases are before our eyes, and even the Americans, who are known for their recklessness, have become much more docile.
"Once the ship reaches its next destination, someone will come to pick you up," the young man with heterochromatic eyes said with a smile. "Of course, it will be after you have recovered your strength."
Brunhilde nodded. These past few days, being replaced by the Fool's special abilities and becoming an ordinary person... this feeling was naturally unpleasant. He was not only weak, but also constantly worried.
"Thank you again for your gift."
The Valkyries adopted a very humble posture.
Bai Zhi suddenly said, "Miss Brunhilde, there is something I would like you to consider."
"But it doesn't matter."
Bai Zhi said directly, "One of our council members went missing not long ago and is most likely dead. So I plan to invite you to attend and become the new council member of the World Council."
"The World from the Major Arcana?" Brunhilde looked surprised. "Me, an outsider?"
“We don’t care about the background of our members.” Bai Zhi smiled slightly: “The Club is actually a very loose organization. Even the New World Government, which is currently influencing the world order, is actually a product of manipulation by a few members of parliament. Of course, everyone can enjoy the convenience it brings.”
Brunhill pondered, "Even the most loosely organized group still has rules to follow."
“Of course.” Bai Zhi nodded. “Mutual support and assistance are essential.”
Brunhill hesitated and said, "Mr. Bai Zhi, may I have time to consider this carefully?"
"The scenery along the sea route should be quite beautiful, a perfect time to calm down and rethink your life," Bai Zhi said with a light laugh. "Well then, I wish you all a pleasant journey."
……
"Big sister, are you planning to accept the Fool's invitation?"
The blue waves rippled, the cruise ship had already set sail, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the ship had slowly penetrated the shroud of the [Heavenly Slaying Sword Net]... The Valkyries' hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally eased slightly.
The Fool really did it!
Facing the gazes of her sisters, Brunhilde smiled bitterly and said, "Even after we regain our strength, it will be difficult for us to find a place to stay in this world... In the eyes of Shenzhou and other places, we are no different from those captured legion warriors."
"Yes, perhaps only the [New World] can accept us."
"They wouldn't help for nothing. Inviting my sister to become a councilor... that's probably what they're asking for in return."
Seeing the interested crowd, Brunhilde said solemnly, "If you are willing to trust me and entrust the future to me... then I will serve as a member of this [World] council."
"Of course we believe you, big sister!"
Brunhill nodded, gazing at the receding continent, his expression complex. "I wonder where Roseweather is..."
……
……
Roseweather was actually hungry at this time—and had been hungry for several days.
Although with her abilities, she wouldn't be easily discovered, she didn't dare to reveal her whereabouts too much under such high pressure.
Furthermore, as someone essentially living without legal status, it would be very difficult for her to live in this place—fortunately, Washington D.C. suffered a major disaster, and the government's control over the area was temporarily paralyzed.
After the disaster ended, Roseweather immediately blended into the crowd and left the Chinese embassy. She is currently living temporarily in a refugee resettlement center.
She could have received basic living supplies every day without doing anything.
But the Valkyrie is proud! The Valkyrie disdains doing anything underhanded! So... Miss Roseweather honestly earns her food through labor.
But I'm not getting enough to eat! I'm not getting enough to eat at all! I'm not getting enough to eat at all! Getting energy from regular food is too inefficient!
No... she needs to find a high-paying job.
Roseweather, amidst the astonished gazes of others at the construction site, still attracted considerable attention as she received an enormous portion of food and left alone.
After all, in a work environment dominated by men, a woman who is strong, has an amazing figure, and is also beautiful is in high demand.
However, this woman is not someone to be trifled with; several groups of ill-intentioned guys have already been beaten to a pulp.
Roseweather also felt that she wouldn't stay in this place for long and it was time to move on... After all, her unusual behavior would soon attract the attention of the [Mysterious Bureau], since there were information about reporting hotlines posted all over the streets.
The Mysterious Bureau is a newly established agency by the United Nations to manage the non-human beings of the Beautiful Country—temporarily named the Mysterious Bureau.
The president criticized the name on Twitter this morning, and that was it.
"...It tastes awful." Roseweather chewed the dry bread like it was made of wax, pondering what to do next.
Suddenly, my eyes fell on a flyer haphazardly pasted on the wall in the alley—it was a job posting for an apprentice exorcist!
The gist is that due to high demand, they are recruiting an exorcist apprentice. The job includes room and board, an exorcism license, and training. Salary is based on performance on assignments. There are two days off per month, and no religious restrictions.
—Isn't this tailor-made for me?!
Roseweather's eyes lit up immediately. This was a way to openly display her power! As long as she was careful not to reveal her Valkyrie abilities, she could simply use her power, right?
Moreover, becoming an exorcist would obviously make it easier to find out information about non-human beings... and would also prevent being targeted by the Mysterious Bureau?
Even if this job posting is a trap, I can still escape if I'm careful... I can always find a remote place to hide.
Given my current situation, even hunting in the wilderness to survive would be much better than doing manual labor on a construction site.
So, on the construction site, Miss Roseweather, who had an amazing figure, quit her job.
……
Half a day later, the lone Valkyrie found the address of the job posting... a hotel in a small town near Washington, D.C.
After quickly tidying herself up to look clean and organized, Roseweather nervously knocked on the door.
—Me, a dignified Valkyrie in golden armor, reduced to having an interview...
—Rosweiser, you must persevere! You still bear the mission of retrieving the [Resurrection Coin] and bringing your master back...
These things can't defeat you!
"Hello, I'm here for an interview to become an exorcist apprentice. May I ask..."
The moment she entered, Roseweather displayed the aura of a Valkyrie, and then... then this beautiful silver-haired Valkyrie was instantly dumbfounded.
"It's you!!!!"
“Oh…” John, gently swirling his chilled tequila, narrowed his eyes. “Isn’t this the lady thief? We really do have quite a connection.”
"Damn it, give me back my gold coins!!" Roseweather instantly flew into a rage, and a golden javelin materialized in a flash, which she hurled at John.
John simply leaned against the edge of the windowsill, leisurely watching the rampaging Valkyrie, completely unmoved.
Just as the golden javelin was about to pierce John, Roseweather's entire body was petrified, and she was unable to move!
This feeling of confinement instantly brought the exposed Valkyrie to her senses... and then she panicked.
“Madam, have you forgotten?” John said with a smile, “It seems you’ve already lost everything to me during our last bet… Even if it was just a verbal agreement, I still have to abide by it.”
"What...what do you want to do!" Roseweather panicked completely.
John reached out and gently pinched Roseweather's cheek, his gaze fixed on her like that of someone eyeing prey.
"You...you might as well kill me!!" Roseweiser roared in fury. "Don't even think about humiliating me! A Valkyrie, even if she dies in battle, will never be dishonored!!"
"Really?" John asked curiously. "Weren't those Valkyries long ago reduced to...tools for the gods to please at their banquets?"
“How could you know…” Roseweather’s face fell instantly, and she gritted her teeth, saying, “Kill me… gold coins!!”
A quaint gold coin suddenly appeared between John's fingers, slowly spinning. Looking at Roseweather's beautiful yet conflicted face, he chuckled and said, "What good would killing you do me? I'm here to recruit exorcist apprentices, not to kill."
Roseweather remained silent.
"Want it?" John waved the gold coin in his hand.
Roseweather hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
“It’s a pity, your life has already been lost to me.” John sighed. “You have nothing left to bet with me.”
Roseweather took a deep breath. "Please return the gold coins to me... whatever it is, I... I'm willing to pay. This time... this time I absolutely won't run away!"
"You seem to have a pretty good understanding this time." John looked you up and down. "You're quite a catch, a Valkyrie who has remained pure to this day...you're really exciting."
Roseweather, with a defiant look on her face, stubbornly declared, "...As long as you keep your promise, I am yours!"
"No, no, no, you lost the bet, it was already mine. But... I think I know what you've misunderstood."
John couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and continued, "But in fact, you don't truly belong to me... I'm just your temporary owner at most."
"What do you mean?" Roseweather asked, bewildered.
John smiled mysteriously: "I will take you to see your true owner when you have been properly trained."
Roseweather paused, quickly translating John's words into her mind.
—Once I have trained you properly, I will naturally offer you to a truly important person, so that by pleasing that person, I can gain even greater benefits!
—Goods...or gifts!
What a humiliation this was for her, a warrior who adhered to the Valkyrie creed!
"...You really will return the gold coins to me?" Roseweather asked through gritted teeth.
“Return?” John shook his head slightly. “This is mine now, it’s not appropriate yet… But if you really want it, then earn it through labor. Work for me from now on, and once you’ve saved enough wages, you can buy it back from me.”
"It's settled!" Roseweather said in a deep voice... Since things had already come to this, she had no choice but to agree—after all, she had no room to resist.
Even though she knew that this guy was clearly just toying with her...
As for training, I can only say we'll take it one step at a time. Even if I really have to please some big shot, I'm willing to do it for the money!
John walked past Roseweather and sat down on the sofa... The moment he sat down, Roseweather's body regained its freedom.
She was secretly alarmed, but at this moment she no longer had the idea of attacking or escaping—the other party had lured her out in this way, which clearly showed that they had the ability to easily control her movements.
"What...what do you need me to do?" Roseweather pursed her lips, hesitatingly asking, "What...how do you plan to train me?"
Although she had accepted the fact that she would become a plaything... even so, since the other party intended to give her away, they wouldn't touch her at least until then, right?
After all, I was presented as a gift to humiliate some "important person"...
"Discipline? What kind of discipline?"
Suddenly, a clear, girlish voice abruptly appeared in the guest room... Roseweather subconsciously turned around and saw a girl with wheat-colored skin, full of energy, carrying a basket of clothes back.
The young woman…Tina stared at the stunningly beautiful silver-haired woman in the room, then suddenly seemed to shudder. She stormed up to John, her voice trembling with rage. “John!! You really were doing something bad here! Who is this woman! What are you going to do to her!!”
"It's so noisy." John covered his ears with his fingers. "Did you get the cigarettes I asked you to buy?"
"You bastard!! What the hell are you doing here?!"
Like a leopard exposed, the girl grabbed John by the collar and shook him, demanding an explanation.
“She’s just an exorcist apprentice I recently hired…” John said weakly, shaken. “Training, of course, refers to learning the skills of an exorcist. What did you think it was?”
"……Um??"
……
"Yeah, sorry."
The Mayan girl blushed slightly and apologized to Roseweather repeatedly, saying, "Sister, I didn't know you were here for a job interview... It's all this jerk's fault for not telling me beforehand, making you laugh at me."
"It's nothing," Roseweather said calmly. "Anyway... nice to meet you. My name is Roseweather."
"Okay, okay!"
PS1: Yesterday, a group of 80s-born Deng suddenly found an excuse (those who know, know) and inexplicably gathered together.
PS2: Then I didn't regain my senses until around 7 a.m.
PS3: I obviously don't know what happened, but I'm also obviously a married man, so I definitely didn't experience anything (serious face).
PS3.5: It's not a hiatus...
