I'm at Level 30, But I Can Slay Level-9999 Beasts in One Hit!-Chapter 397: Asking for Trouble

Ye Xuan’s memory had also improved to a certain degree.

He remembered it was when he had just transmigrated.

To cram the knowledge of this world, he read books day and night in the library.

It was then that he came across the information about the [Divine Fruit].

[Divine Fruit]

[Quality: Colorful Legend]

[Effect: Upon consumption, the transmigrator’s physique will break through its limits, reaching the domain of the gods...]

At that time, Ye Xuan merely smiled.

After all, although this world combined aspects of a game, it still largely maintained the belief systems he was familiar with previously.

That is to say, deities, those products of human belief, were ethereal and essentially non-existent.

The idea of mortals breaking the physical limits to directly become gods was a plot line confined to fiction.

It was absolutely impossible in reality.

As a firm materialist, at least that was what Ye Xuan thought at the time.

However, after defeating the phantom of Dragon King Hades,

Ye Xuan began to waver.

It was just a phantom, true.

But its presence also indicated that some theories of this world were fundamentally different from what Ye Xuan had known before.

Gods could possibly exist.

"Is it because of this that Izalel became wanted by the authorities?" Ye Xuan asked leisurely.

Mo Lian nodded in response.

"Exactly, because of this, at first, the manhunt was limited to within the borders of Avalon, but later it expanded to the entire Great Xia, as the officials discovered that Izalel... had gone missing."

Without Mo Lian explaining, Ye Xuan could roughly guess the subsequent developments.

For such a major incident involving a transmigrator, if the officials showed no reaction, they would not be worthy of being called as such.

"Before he went missing, did he say anything to you?"

Ye Xuan asked in the manner of the investigators from his previous life.

Mo Lian’s expression, however, became somewhat strange.

"He... he said... no matter what happens afterward, I should wait for him, he will definitely return to my side..."

Ye Xuan was puzzled.

This didn’t sound like something a person who had stolen a national treasure would say.

Generally, if the explorer truly had greedy intentions, desiring to steal the national treasure, he wouldn’t be able to maintain any connection with Mo Lian, a resident of Avalon.

Not to mention telling Mo Lian to wait for him, such nonsense, unless there was something unknown behind this incident.

"Alright, I have a general understanding of the situation. Does this commission of yours have a deadline? Or is it okay to help you look into it when I’m free?"

Ye Xuan asked nonchalantly.

Mo Lian earnestly replied: "There isn’t... but if possible, please do it as soon as you can... I’ve been having a bad premonition these past few days.

You know, the premonitions of elves are very accurate, and I’ve also self-taught some divination..."

Ye Xuan nodded his head.

He now understood why Mo Lian looked like a Divination Master, though she was a Magic Wand craftsman.

After all, crafting a Magic Wand doesn’t require any particular attire.

But divination has strict demands concerning the venue, the Divination Master, and the tools used.

After escorting Mo Lian to the door.

Ye Xuan teased with a question.

"Is there a possibility that this explorer, after stealing the [Divine Fruit], just ate it and became a god? You never know."

After hearing this sentence.

Mo Lian turned around, her face cold as she growled: "Impossible! Ize would never do such a thing!"

Then, she stormed off angrily.

"Was that necessary... I was just joking."

Ye Xuan felt he had managed to embarrass himself.

So he decided to close the door and go back to bed for a nap.

Today is the weekend.

So he planned to take a break from his intensive leveling schedule.

To relax thoroughly.

A balanced life of work and rest is the healthiest lifestyle for a professional.

"Little Ye, who was that just now?"

Aunt Yun pushed the door open at this moment and asked Ye Xuan.

"I’m sorry, Aunt Yun, did I disturb your rest?"

Ye Xuan showed an apologetic smile and then explained: "The person just now... is sort of my friend. There was some unpleasantness when she left, but it’s nothing serious."

"Oh, I see. Little Ye, you should be more careful next time. I noticed your friend is quite old, and it would be bad if something happened."

Aunt Yun looked at Ye Xuan with some worry.

She wasn’t concerned about the friend’s condition.

But worried that Ye Xuan might be scammed because of this.

He Jin knew that in Ye Xuan’s family, he was alone; if anything happened, there would be no one to look after him.

"It’s alright, Aunt Yun, I’ll be more careful next time."

The two chatted for a bit more and then prepared to go back to their own rooms.

However, just before closing the door.

Ye Xuan seemed to remember something, so he quickly opened the door again and asked He Jin: "Aunt Yun, I haven’t read much, so I’d like to ask, do you know the legend of that famous explorer, Ize Ael?"

After hearing what Ye Xuan said, He Jin too pondered while holding her head for a long time.

"Ize... Ael? Oh, oh! The fugitive who stole the national treasure of Avalon, I remember now!"

The expression on Ye Xuan’s face immediately turned cold.

There was definitely something fishy about this.

From Mo Lian’s words, to deduce Ize Ael’s previous explorations, and the annotations on a series of equipment.

All indicated that the fame and achievements of this well-known explorer were only high and not low.

But now, an ordinary housewife retained only the memory of him being a fugitive.

This seemed a bit too much.

He Jin continued to speak: "Speaking of which, my late husband told me about this fugitive. He used to be a fan of Ize Ael. One day he came home looking really downcast.

When I asked him what was wrong, he said Ize Ael was wanted by the officials because he stole the national treasure of Avalon. My husband was so angry his face turned red. He said that with Ize Ael’s character, he would never do such a thing.

He normally even gave away the valuable equipment he got, wearing nothing but a level-ten-something explorer’s suit while traveling through all sorts of dangerous places. How could someone so generous steal from others?"

A casual remark from He Jin.

Immediately gave Ye Xuan an important clue.

"Hold on, Aunt Yun, did your husband say that this explorer gave away all his equipment and only wore a level-ten-something explorer’s suit himself?"

He Jin nodded earnestly.

"That’s right, at that time I was thinking, if what my husband said was true, then this explorer named Ize Ael is indeed a good person, there must be some mistake with the official warrant for his arrest..."

Ye Xuan didn’t care whether the officials made a mistake or not.
