Chapter 553: 342 Regent!

Chapter 553: Chapter 342 Regent!

Viscount Weiss’s territory.

The viscount’s mansion.

In a remote armory.

A door appeared silently on the wall.

As soon as the door materialized, it began to adjust itself, swiftly becoming identical to the main armory door.

This gave the illusion that there was an extra room inside the warehouse.

...

The door opened.

Shen Ye leaped out.

As soon as he entered, he saw that golden spear.

The spear was quietly displayed on a weapon rack, the rack polished anew, adorned with some fancy ribbons embroidered with noble crests.

It looked as though the weapon rack would soon come in handy.

“Shen Ye, you still have this thing.”

Skeleton reminded him.

Shen Ye looked into the Dharma Aspect and saw a small metal badge on the ground.

A faint light emitted from next to the badge, coalescing into words:

“Viscount Weiss’s Guardian Badge.”

“An identity proof.”

“Description: This badge allows free entry and exit to and from the viscount’s mansion.”

“— Recently, Viscount Weiss has welcomed many strangers and granted them various official positions personally conferred by His Excellency.”

Shen Ye stared at the badge, suddenly snapping to awareness.

Joseph had died, perished within his own Dharma Aspect, light as a feather.

But he had the “Danger” mark of a real person on him!

The dead had to drop their gear!

This badge was what he had left behind.

Thinking back, his companion had been killed by Yudelia, blown up in the sky; there should have been drops too.

It was a pity that he didn’t have time to pick them up then.

Forget it.

Shen Ye took out the badge, pinned it on his chest, and casually grabbed a leather military cap from the warehouse to wear on his head, concealing his face.

He walked over and gently touched the golden spear.

The spear was of Purple Grade quality, quite good, but unfortunately, he did not possess skills for long-handled weapons.

Shen Ye’s hand trembled as he drew out another golden spear.

What was interesting—

Even when he returned to this moment in the past, the golden spear he had seized had not disappeared.

—So now there were two spears.

One belonged to the current moment, soon to be distributed to Joseph at the weapon bestowal ceremony.

The other was from a future moment, stolen by the “good brother” doll.

Should he…

Merge them?

Shen Ye’s hands itched, but he quickly suppressed the thought.

Strengthening this spear for Joseph to wield, then having him chase after himself in the future—

That would be insanity, wouldn’t it?

Forget it, forget it.

He took back the spear from the future and placed the current one properly, then tiptoed to the warehouse door and peered through the window.

Several soldiers, armed with blades, jogged past outside the warehouse.

—These were patrolling.

Across the lawn.

Strains of melodious music drifted from the castle nearby.

A row of carriages was parked in front of the castle.

After a while.

Some people would probably come to the armory to move the weapons.

Now while there was no one around, it was time to move.

Shen Ye pushed open the door and quickly followed the path, turning a corner and suddenly encountering several patrolling soldiers.

“Password!”

The soldiers demanded.

Shen Ye reacted swiftly, pointed to his own chest badge, and said fiercely:

“You’re asking me? I should be asking you!”

The soldiers saw his badge and hesitated for a moment.

The leading soldier tried to insist:

“No, sir, everyone must give the password, please don’t make this difficult for us.”

“Eating grapes without spitting out the skins.” Shen Ye said.

The soldiers were taken aback.

“Isn’t it this? Or has the password been changed?” Shen Ye asked.

Without waiting for an answer, he laughed, took off the badge from his chest and handed it over, then said:

“Ever since I returned from the battlefield, my mind has had aftershocks, I always seem to forget things, all my comrades know this.”

The few soldiers checked the badge thoroughly and then nodded their heads.

The badge was genuine.

The leader handed the badge back with a smile while covertly resting his hand on the hilt of his sword and said:

“Your Excellency, there is no question about your identity, but according to the rules, if the password isn’t matched, we must call for the high-level Guardian Squad.”

“Of course! Call them here, I will wait right here.” Shen Ye said nonchalantly.

He appeared so natural that there was no hint of him trying to flee.

This attitude brought some reassurance to the soldiers.

The leading soldier sent one man to report the situation while he stayed to chat with Shen Ye.

“If you can just give one or two names of your comrades-in-arms, and their professions, then we can basically stand down.” The soldier tried again.

Leaning casually against the wall, Shen Ye spoke in a lazy tone:

“Joseph is my brother, his profession is a Furious Sand Warrior, this guy is tall and sturdy, he talks a lot in a fight, likes using the spear, every time he throws his spear, he kills the enemy’s commanders.”

“Yes, that’s correct!”

The leading soldier relaxed, his hand leaving the hilt of his sword.

All of a sudden, Shen Ye said, “What are we doing here?”

The soldier leader was stunned.

“I was supposed to be at the banquet, why am I talking to you here?” Shen Ye said, scratching his head in confusion.

“Sir, did you forget? You need to provide the password to pass.” The soldier leader couldn’t help but say.

“The password is eating grapes without spitting out the skins.” Shen Ye stated confidently.

At that moment, a group of people were approaching from a distance.

—The soldier sent earlier was returning with the entire Guardian Squad.

The soldiers surrounding Shen Ye finally relaxed.

Looking at Shen Ye again, he still looked utterly bewildered.
