Lawrence's attitude seemed very sincere.
But the commotion in the audience seats became even more intense.
The audience in the Zeshui City were mostly elites, and if there was one thing they didn't lack, it was their keen eyes.
Even before Lawrence made Lady Gesu vomit poison, many of the elites sensed that something was amiss and were preparing to make a hasty exit.

The tightly drawn curtains slowly parted, and the magical spotlights on either side followed suit—
A tall, handsome man dressed in a bold island-themed outfit leaped onto the stage from behind, performing several somersaults and springing his way towards the center.
The spotlight shone on him, illuminating his bright smile and pearly white teeth.

Seeing the latest notification, Matthew couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What's the use of hoarding gold coins, you greedy skeleton!"
Back at the inn, he told Lysanna that he and Roland were going to their room to rest. Roland understood and left with a knowing look.
At this point, Matthew couldn't be bothered to exp...

His dazzling golden hair cascaded casually over his shoulders, the upper half of his silk shirt daringly open to reveal a dense forest of chest hair. At his waist, a jade-green flute emitted a magical gleam, and the radiant, legendary runes hanging beside ...

This guy had deviously deceived Blorken into entering. How could there not be some follow-up trap? So he asked, "Is the tomb of King Mingtan actually a dead end?"
Yu Lian replied in a relaxed tone, "Whether it's life or death, the choice is yours. Just as you guessed before, the path of life and death is indeed the same. If you remai...

Matthew quickly regained control of his emotions.
He had long known that the world was always complex, and humans were always multifaceted. In his past life, the world was relatively peaceful, and as a keyboard warrior, he had engaged in countless online debates. He had even used the same clichés about nothing new under the sun.
But knowing and ex...

"A red dragon?"
No, that wasn't right.
Soon, he realized that the dragon before him was far from a true red dragon. The horns on its head resembled those of a red dragon, but below the neck, things took a different tur...

Any living being within the range of the Death Canopy had their life force slowly drained until they became undead themselves, with the only notable effect being a slight reduction in movement speed. The curse was excruciatingly slow, and even a robust third-tier man could jump around ins...

Below the fortress, the bone dragon went berserk, tearing the building apart. Matthew took the opportunity to retreat a few steps, directing the bone dragon to remove the higher threat before respectfully bowing its head in his presence.
With skillful ease, Matthew mounted the bone dragon and cleared the path of troubleso...

Several arrows and spells were launched at him from behind, but they fell harmlessly to the ground due to the distance.
It's worth mentioning that Matthew noticed the half-elf archer hadn't fired a shot.
She was holding a heavily enchanted bow, and for her, this distance was certainly w...

The dark, rolling mass on the ground finally came to a halt when it collided with the stone wall on the right side of the group.
Matthew squinted his eyes and realized, "Isn't that Edson's head?"
"You killed him?"

In the center of an unusual square altar, a shrunken celestial sphere slowly vanished into a radiant white light, revealing a sense of divine sanctity.
Then, a stone brick rose from the altar's base, trembling violently in mid-air, emitting a rustling sound as dust and debris rained down.

Notably, this difference was also presented in the form of colors in their perception.
