Chapter 661: Erin in Action

Baharuth Empire.

In the magnificent royal palace, a slender golden-haired man was lazily lying on the sofa.

This golden-haired man was none other than the current Emperor of the Baharuth Empire—Jircniv!

"Ho, I didn't expect that in such a short time, the Kingdom would produce another Steel-grade adventurer team."

Jircniv supported his chin with one hand and flipped through the documents on the table in front of him with the other, a touch of emotion appearing on his calm face.

One must know that looking at the entire Overlord world, Steel-grade adventurers were also extremely rare existences.

Due to the powerful combat strength of Steel-grade adventurers.

Various countries signed a contract—forbidding countries from using Steel-grade adventurers to participate in wars.

This was just like nuclear weapons.

Although it was forbidden to use nuclear weapons on the surface.

But even if nuclear weapons were not used, they still possessed huge deterrent power.

Therefore, various countries in the Overlord world were still quietly wooing Steel-grade adventurers.

Not long ago, Jircniv received word that a Steel-grade adventurer team named Darkness Hero had been born in the Kingdom.

And now, the Kingdom had produced another Steel-grade adventurer team.

The Kingdom had successively produced two Steel-grade adventurer teams.

Even the Empire had to take it seriously.

"This newly born Steel-grade adventurer team is named Fairy Tail, and the leader is Ye Yu."

"Not long ago, the Kingdom's capital suffered a large-scale monster invasion, and the Fairy Tail team led by Ye Yu shone brilliantly, demonstrating strength not inferior to the Thirteen Heroes."

Opposite Jircniv's sofa, a man wearing a civil servant's robe spoke up to report.

Not inferior to the Thirteen Heroes!

Jircniv's brows could not help but furrow upon hearing this term.

The Thirteen Heroes were all powerful figures who had broken through human limits.

Each one possessed immensely powerful strength.

The phrase "not inferior to the Thirteen Heroes."

Was enough to explain the strength of this adventurer team named Fairy Tail.

"Forget it, Blue Rose and Red Drop, these two veteran Steel-grade adventurer teams."

"Now, the Kingdom has a total of four Steel-grade adventurer teams."

The civil official intended to advise the Emperor: it was time to take action against the Kingdom.

But, the Emperor before him was different from previous emperors.

He was known as the Bloody Emperor, and since taking office, his hands had been stained with the blood of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Furthermore, this Emperor had very strong opinions.

Therefore, this civil official did not dare to advise directly.

"Four Steel-grade adventurer teams, huh?"

"This is indeed somewhat troublesome."

"Give the order, have someone make contact with Darkness Hero and Fairy Tail, and see if they can be recruited into the Empire."

Speaking of this, the Bloody Emperor's mouth hooked into a smile, and he continued in a relaxed tone:

"If they cannot be recruited into the Empire, then let the Four Knights go and meet these Steel-grade adventurers."

Although the Bloody Emperor did not state it explicitly, the civil official already knew the Bloody Emperor's intentions.

If they could not be recruited, then make them disappear.

Baharuth Empire Capital—E-Rantel

Compared to the Kingdom's capital.

E-Rantel appeared even more prosperous and free.

On the bustling streets, it was extremely lively, and from time to time, one could hear the singing of bards.

"This time was a huge harvest; as long as there's one more mission with such generous rewards, I'll be able to replace all my weapons with new ones."

On the lively street, a golden-haired man with a sword at his waist said happily.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I replaced my bow and arrows."

Beside the golden-haired man, a tall, purple-haired woman also said happily.

If Ye Yu were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize these two people speaking.

These two were none other than the targets Erin was looking for—members of the Four Workers, the captain Hekkeran and the archer Imina.

Following behind Hekkeran and Imina were the other two members of the Four Workers, the magic caster Arche and the warrior Roberdyck.

Hekkeran, Imina, and Roberdyck, who had just received generous rewards, were all very happy.

Only Arche kept her head low, burdened with worries.

"Arche, what's wrong?"

Arche's abnormality caught the attention of the warrior Roberdyck beside her.

Hearing Roberdyck's words, the captain and archer who were talking loudly in front also stopped and turned to look at Arche.

"Arche?"

Captain Hekkeran, out of concern for his team member, asked.

Arche gripped the magic caster's staff in her hands tightly, and only after a long while did she speak: "I've decided to complete one more mission, and then I'll quit the Four Workers!"

As soon as Arche said this, the expressions of the other three members of the Four Workers changed drastically.

The four members of the Four Workers had been working together for a long time.

They all regarded each other as important teammates to whom they could entrust their backs.

At this moment, Arche said she was leaving, and the other three teammates naturally found it somewhat unacceptable and incomprehensible.

"Why?"

"Arche, why do you want to leave?"

The captain asked in an urgent tone.

Facing the urgent gazes of the captain and the other two, Arche felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

Arche only said sorry in her heart.

She did not explain.

After all, this was her family matter.

In her home, there were two twin sisters waiting for her to come home.

And the work of a worker was also quite dangerous.

There might not be a tomorrow.

Arche's idea was to earn enough money and then take her twin sisters away to live apart from her parents.

As Arche's teammates, the other three members of the Four Workers knew a little about Arche's family situation.

Seeing Arche's troubled expression, although they could not accept Arche suddenly leaving the team, they understood.

"Alright, since Arche has decided to leave, we respect her decision; why don't we take this opportunity to go to a pub and celebrate?"

The captain was the first to break the pensive atmosphere, saying in a tone that pretended to be cheerful.

Regarding the captain's proposal, the other two members had no objections.

Perhaps this celebration would be the last time the Four Workers gathered together to drink. ===== CHAPTER 663 =====
