Chapter 25: The Troublemaker
Although killing someone is legal and reasonable, I still have to report it to the village manager.
And Li Ke also learned the names of these two people at this time.
The old man's name is Ku Shuo.
The younger one is his son, named Shen.
Then Li Ke broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
Ku Shuo is the modern-day Eye of Twilight, the strongest being in Ionia right now.
A magic sword slays demons and monsters, and a steel sword settles the injustices in the world.
And I just said in front of others that I wanted to kill the whole family...
"Don't be too nervous. You should know that the Order of the Balance will not interfere with mundane matters."
Ku Shuo saw Li Ke's worry and spoke with a smile.
Indeed, the Kinkou do not interfere in the mundane affairs of Ionia unless necessary, focusing only on the balance between the spiritual realm and the physical world.
However, that is not how it works, because the Order of the Kinkou, in theory, manages magic in all of Ionia.
And every piece of land in Ionia contains magic.
They say that if you can use magic, you can use magic to reclaim the land. They say that you cannot use magic and continue to exploit the land, then you'd better be sensible and stop working and move away.
Yes, although they do not manage or rule, the Order of the Kinkou actually governs the entire Ionia.
Land, magic, population, gatherings, anything related to magic is managed by them. They don't care if , but if you make the ratio of magic and people on the land unbalanced...
Then they will come and balance you out.
In fact, the Order of the Kinkou is the ruler of Ionia, and the leader of the Order of the Kinkou Twilight Eye, is the king of Ionia.
He just doesn't collect taxes, doesn't manage the city, doesn't have the honor of a king, and there is no real succession system between father and son. He doesn't have the treatment and benefits of a king. He is just respected and accepts free contributions from all of Ionia.
Of course, even if it is hard to say, one cannot use these offerings for personal selfish desires, otherwise he will lose his qualifications.
In other words, if someone says he doesn't like you and that you are affecting the balance, then even if he kills you, no one will speak up for you.
"Yes, I understand. I understand."
Li Ke just wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to meet Ku Shuo at this time and in this place. And he also thought clearly that Ku Shuo didn't really want to save the young man...
Otherwise, with his strength, saving the other party would be a piece of cake.
Ku Shuo shook his head. He was just more interested in Li Ke, so he talked to Li Ke more. But when he saw Li Ke's expression, he lost interest.
"Forget it, I can see you don't understand... Let's go, Shen, things here are over."
Picking up his weapon, Ku Shuo walked towards the gate, but before leaving, he turned his head and looked at Li Ke.
"Young man, it's better to leave some room for maneuver when doing things. And be careful, you seem to have a constitution that invites trouble."
Just by going out, the other party may encounter rebellious disciples of the Order of Balance, disciples of the Order of Balance whose bodies are possessed by demons, and even while having a meal, he may encounter himself and a person who wants to transform into a demon.
Honestly speaking, Ku Shuo felt that Li Ke had a strong affinity with the Order of Balance. Given the frequency of encounters with demons and monsters, coupled with their special magic, once he became a disciple of the Order of Balance, he would be able to deal with these Azakana much faster.
It’s a pity that Li Ke is already Su Ma’s disciple, and he can only persuade the other party to think twice before acting.
After giving his final advice, Ku Shuo left.
Li Ke saw him off with a smile, but when Ku Shuo disappeared from his sight, he raised his face.
"Isn't this just a curse?"
What kind of trouble-provoking physique? Does he, Li Ke, look like the protagonist with a sarcastic face?
"Forget it, we can't stay in this town anymore, let's leave as soon as possible."
Having killed someone in this town, Li Ke didn't think he could stay here to recuperate peacefully, so the most urgent thing was to leave as soon as possible to avoid any trouble.
So he paid for the table without hesitation, bought some beef and sesame cakes, bought some medicinal herbs and medicines in the town, and hired a coachman at a high price to take him to Presidio.
After Li Ke left, the Twilight Eyes father and son, who were still dealing with the anxious spirit beasts in the spiritual realm in this town, also saw him leaving in a hurry.
Shen didn't care because it was nothing, anyone who said that in front of his father would run away.
But Ku Shuo stopped what he was doing, looked at Li Ke who was leaving , and shook his head slightly.
"He is indeed someone who can cause trouble... No, it should be said that he and the trouble are looking for each other."
Shen was a little curious. He knew that his father seldom commented on others, let alone said such words.
But he recalled Li Ke's performance and felt that in his father's eyes, the other party was probably just a third-rate swordsman with an inferior weapon. There was nothing surprising about it. How could his father say such a thing?
As if she had sensed his doubts, Ku started talking after Li Ke had moved a little further away.
"According to the kid's schedule, if he leaves now, when he arrives in Shangzan, it will be just the time when Jie goes to Shangzan to deal with an anxious spirit beast. And if nothing unexpected happens, Jie and he will go to the same village to solve two different problems in the same village. One is an angry spirit beast in the spiritual realm, and the other is a somewhat anxious demon beast."
Ku said, pausing for a moment before continuing.
"And according to Jie's personality, he will definitely kill the demon beast directly after pacifying the spirit beast, so they will definitely meet there."
Shen raised his head in surprise, because it seemed that this man named Li Ke really had a close relationship with their Sect of Balance.
But for ordinary people, especially someone who has no magic and only a strange power, this is a rather incredible thing.
"Won't he be in constant trouble then?"
Ku Shuo nodded. There are people like Li Ke in every era. They seem insignificant, but they are always in trouble and may encounter all kinds of strange things.
So after thinking for a while, he spoke to his son.
"That's why I said that he and trouble are attracted to each other. Shen, after you deal with these things, you can follow him. Following such a person, you should be able to see some different scenery. But remember, no matter what you see, as long as it does not affect the balance, you can't take action."
Things are changing in Ionia.
It's time to let my son see the darkness of Ionia.
