Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 30: Practice guests
Seeing the current situation as far from ideal, Seventh intended to intervene but was stopped by Mrs. Gregory.“What are you planning to do?” Mrs. Gregory questioned Seventh in a cold and challenging tone.“Don’t you see Karl is very frightened? I don’t know if your approach is effective, but Karl doesn’t look well,” Seventh said, trying to contain his anger over the fact that Mrs. Gregory had invited an outsider into their village. Besides, he still had to settle. Now, they dared to play god and demon here, and Seventh couldn’t allow things to spiral out of control.“So what if he’s frightened? It’s better for him to be scared now. We’d rather have him frightened for a while than let him continue to go mad. Can you stop that from happening? Do you have a better solution than what I’m offering now? If you do, I’m willing to tell the woman to stop,” Mrs. Gregory argued.“You... you...” Seventh was left speechless. Faced with Mrs. Gregory’s arguments, he felt like he had no logical coun

At this moment, the medium also turned her gaze towards Jonas and realized that he was the one who had interrogated her earlier. She slowly advanced toward where Jonas was standing and issued a warning, “Be careful if you don’t want to be the next one.”Faced with her words, Jonas remained silent. He was curious about what the medium would do next.The medium gave Jonas a cold, piercing look, then turned away directly, returning to Karl’s location. She continued ringing the bell, and the sound grew increasingly eerie.The onlookers, despite finding her frightening, were reluctant to intervene. They didn’t believe her unfounded claims, but they knew matters related to the supernatural were incredibly unsettling. No matter how skilled or developed they were, they couldn’t truly comprehend it. Sometimes, the living could be more frightening than the dead, and the medium served as the link between the living and the deceased.Karl’s mental state was deteriorating with each toll of the bel

Mrs. Gregory and Seventh continued their argument, words flying back and forth. Mrs. Gregory firmly believed she wasn’t wrong; she was simply trying to find a way of life for herself and all the villagers. On the other hand, Seventh, no matter how she explained it, refused to accept it. The principle was to adhere, not to break.“Mrs. Gregory, are you sure someone from outside can solve our problems? In my view, the two of you are only making things more complicated,” Seventh argued.Mrs. Gregory replied, “So, do we have another solution? Is there anyone in this village capable of resolving it? You tell me.”As the argument reached its peak, Jonas, who had been trailing them, overheard their conversation. Earlier, when Seventh and Mrs. Gregory had walked out, he had followed them. Somehow, he felt something was amiss. Seventh seemed unusually concerned about whether or not someone was leaving the village. Although he knew this matter was related to their ancestors’ heritage, had anyon

Etham and Liliana continued to argue relentlessly, each holding their own opinion, refusing to yield. Those around them couldn’t contain themselves any longer, and they split into two factions, engaging in heated disputes.“I think what Etham said makes sense. We don’t need to be responsible for anyone!” A woman walked up to Etham and spoke assertively.However, many others were displeased with their views. Clearly, everyone in this place had received the village’s hospitality. Now, when they had the chance to leave, were they willing to discard all those favors? Regardless of what was said, it was extremely hard to accept!“Bringing Karl onto the boat, how should we do it? We have so many people. Can’t we control him if he goes mad? Miss Liliana mentioned it earlier. Karl needs to get out for treatment.”“That’s right. We owe them, and now we need to repay. Not to mention, we can’t stand by while someone dies. I still believe in science; Karl is ill and needs to be taken out for trea
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 34: Leave quickly,” that’s what Mrs. Laura wanted to convey.
After Elena’s words, a series of other women spoke up. They also wanted to board the boat, feeling that they were not inferior to men in any way. They could seek help, just like the men. One of the most vocal among them was Daisy.“Yes, I’m definitely getting on that boat. I don’t know, I’m not satisfied. You can’t be biased like this,” Daisy proclaimed. This might have been the first time everyone saw Daisy so resolutely, even more determined than Elena.“Let someone else take my place; I won’t board the boat anymore. I need to stay behind and assess the situation of the injured. Besides, I trust you will come back to rescue us,” Liliana spoke up. She willingly relinquished her position to others. From the beginning until now, it seemed as if Liliana never aspired to that position; she even felt that what she truly desired was to remain here.Seeing Liliana decline the opportunity to leave, Count Armstrong remained silent, his gaze still fixed on Daisy.Therefore, there was an empty

This left Jonas in shock. At first, Jonas believed that the paper left behind by Mrs. Laura was a clue leading him to the culprit. But it turned out to be a warning, a hastily written warning. Now Jonas could understand why this paper was under his bed and not somewhere in Mrs. Laura’s room. It was meant for him. Perhaps Mrs. Laura had foreseen that something would happen to her, so, before her death, she left this note as a desperate message. Mrs. Laura had no children, but subconsciously, she might have seen Jonas as her own, not wanting him to stay here, in a place that could kill him at any time.Invisible to others, the paper left by Mrs. Laura had become a heavy burden on Jonas. First, he felt a profound sense of sorrow. Mrs. Laura had protected him before her death and hid this warning under his bed. Yet, Jonas couldn’t protect her and could only stare at her body hanging in the air. Until now, he still couldn’t find out who had caused her death. There was something else that m

Both of them lay quietly on the bed, but neither spoke to each other. Sleep eluded them both.The recent events troubled Jonas. His initial purpose when leaving the town and boarding that ship was to go to a new, peaceful city to cultivate his magical abilities. However, fate had other plans. The shipwreck had thrust Jonas into a battle between life and death, eventually leading him to this peculiar village. His original intentions and the reality of his current situation were complete opposites. He had sought serenity but was now burdened with perplexing matters that left him increasingly headache-ridden.Karl, on the other hand, rolled restlessly on the bed. He couldn’t close his eyes without the image of Paul, the little dog, stabbing at his heart like a knife. For many years, Karl had been living alone, and Paul had become his constant companion. Their relationship had developed beyond a mere pet-owner bond; it was more profound than that. But everything was now beyond repair, no

“Jonas, is there any noise outside?” Karl asked anxiously, looking over at Jonas.“Yeah, it sounds like someone shouting,” Jonas replied. He immediately got up, picked up a walking stick next to him, and rushed outside. A sense of unease was creeping in.Karl didn’t hesitate and followed Jonas.Outside, everyone had already rushed to the street. The narrow road was packed with people.Jonas stood to the side, quietly observing the situation. Karl’s house was made of sturdy wood and designed to be soundproof, which had allowed both Jonas and Karl to remain oblivious to what was happening outside. When they opened the living room, they were shocked to hear the commotion. The weather outside had taken a turn for the worse, and it was now extremely severe. The strong winds were blowing relentlessly, causing several thorny trees to uproot and lie on the ground. The snow was steadily accumulating in thick layers, covering the ground. Occasionally, in the distance, tornadoes appeared, and a

Facing Evan and Brendan’s questions, Jonas remained silent saying nothing. He had a strange feeling; normally, whenever Alice appeared, only he could see her. But this time was different; Alice appeared open in front of everyone. This made Jonas suspicious, finally thinking that Alice had some malicious intentions.“Jonas, our system has an issue. Do you want to reset everything?” Without waiting for Jonas to respond, Alice went straight to the point, a smile still on her lips.“System issues? Is there really a problem with the system, or is this some damn scenario of yours?”“The system is indeed having problems. You should reset everything!” Alice repeated her words.Jonas had run out of patience by now. He directly exposed Alice’s true face and what she called the system.“There’s nothing wrong here! Everything is your play. Why did door open earlier? Don’t tell me it opened coincidentally, with no arrangement! Everything, all of it, is your script!” When this door suddenly opened,

“It’s... it’s Cuktor!” Etham pointed towards Cuktor, the one who had just dealt a blow to Charlette. All present there looked at Cuktor with wide eyes. His unexpected appearance, standing alongside Jonas and his group, was a shock to them. None of them had ever dreamed of a day when Cuktor and Jonas’ team would stand together on the same battlefield.“No need to look at me with such wide eyes. I’m not here to protect you all. I’m here just to protect my chance to return to my paradise!” Cuktor turned towards Jonas’ group and spoke. The reason he took the risk to come here was singular – to protect Jonas’s eyes. Lucia’s eyes had been elusive for nearly a thousand years; he had even turned Christina’s parents’ house upside down, finding no clues. Now, if Jonas’s eyes fell into Charlette’s hands, any chance of returning to his paradise would be utterly lost.On Charlette’s side, she was shocked that she had been ambushed, and the ambusher was none other than Cuktor, the one who considere

Etham, Evan, Christina, and Mei landed on the ground in a heap. Before them lay an incredibly unfamiliar space.“Darn! Where on earth is this?” Etham said, brushing off the dust on his clothes. Just a second ago, they were still in Christina’s house, and now they found themselves in this strange place.Evan glanced around, shaking his head. This was also his first time in this location. Evan had never heard his grandfather mention this place before.“But don’t you guys think this place is incredibly luxurious?” The one speaking was Christina. Having lived in a luxurious mansion her whole life, there was hardly anything in the world she hadn’t seen. But a place this extravagant was a first for Christina.“Exactly! Look, everything is gold-plated, especially the door frame, which is grand and dazzling! Not to mention crystal, gems, and precious stones. Just counting the cost of craftsmanship and design alone is already an enormous figure! These things are all exquisitely designed,” Evan

“There was one time I saw it in my parents’ room! A painting exactly like this scenery!” Mei exclaimed, surprised. She was sure she had seen it before, in her parents’ study! A painting identical to the forest in front of them.“Mei, are you sure?” Christina leaned down to ask Mei, her eyes filled with both hope and a hint of doubt.“I’m sure.”As soon as Mei said that, three pairs of eyes turned towards each other. Evan, Etham, and Christina - they could be the only hope and opportunity for these three.“Let’s go!”Evan was the first to change direction and run towards Christina’s house. Etham, Christina, and Mei pursued suit. They sprinted with all their might. Christina’s house was where Lucia’s eyes were kept, guarded by Christina’s parents. They were secretive, profound, and held many secrets. What they knew about this forest and its related stories seemed to be certain. For Evan’s group, only by unraveling the secrets of the forest could they find Jonas and Brendan. Time was run

The empty wooden bedspread, Brendan, had disappeared for a while now. Outside, the wind grew stronger with each passing moment, blowing the curtain straight into the empty room.“Brendan is missing!” Evan shouted loudly. In his heart, there was a great deal of anxiety; he didn’t know what was happening and couldn’t guess which force had taken Brendan away. Now they were stuck between Cuktor and the force behind that green-eyed bird. One wrong step could ruin the entire chessboard.“What’s going on? What’s happening?” Etham, one hand covering a yawn, the other hastily putting on a coat, rushed out of his room. He had been sleeping soundly when he heard Evan’s voice. Though he didn’t know what was happening, he came running.Behind Etham were Christina and Mei. Unlike Etham, the two siblings seemed much more alert.“Evan, what’s going on? Why did you say Brendan is missing?” Christina looked at Evan skeptically, clasping her younger sister’s hand.Evan was also quite distressed now; Bre

Chapter 130: Etham, something’s wrong with Jonas!
“I’m sorry, I... I... I was just scared of you!” Brendan trembled incessantly. In reality, he had intended to lie like the others, saying that Charlette was good and beautiful just to get through the situation. However, Brendan couldn’t bring himself to do it. He didn’t come here willingly, nor did he willingly eat those foods. He did all those things out of fear. Furthermore, looking at Jonas gave Brendan the motivation to speak the truth. The girl who claimed to be the queen brought him here for one reason only – to force Jonas to give her his eyes. Since then, she had been providing reasons to persuade Jonas. If Brendan now lied, saying Charlette was a good person, the probability of fooling Jonas would be higher. Brendan knew that Jonas trusted those around him, and the words of those subordinates might not be believed, but Brendan’s words sometimes could sway Jonas. Perhaps that was why Charlette asked Brendan if she was a good person. She only wanted to prove to Jonas that givin

Chapter 129:
Jonas contemplated Charlette. He knew this was the highest price Charlette could offer for this deal. Charlette was not wrong; if he agreed to her request, both he and she would benefit, with him gaining the most. Unfortunately, Jonas had no intention of making this deal with Charlette from the start. The world was not only filled with beautiful landscapes and vibrant colors but also with dark and sordid corners. If he handed over his eyes to Charlette, those dark corners would likely expand. Jonas lived not only for himself but also for others in this world, especially for those he loved. Evan, Etham, Brendan—surely they didn't need protection from the likes of Charlette. Protection traded for the lives and peace of others. He knew that even Selena and Karl at the Nine Springs did not want him to do such a thing."Charlette, I apologize, but I decline this deal."Charlette, who was brimming with confidence just moments ago, jumped in anger. She couldn't believe Jonas would make such

Upon hearing this, Charlette's face turned reddish-purple, and she felt infuriated. She did everything for this world, yet Jonas dared to label her as the villain. She was the queen, the mistress here, and every action she took was for the sake of people as naive as Jonas."Damn it! I am the queen. I treat everyone kindly and generously!" Charlette yelled at Jonas. From the largest to the smallest, Charlette had not encountered anyone as ignorant as Jonas. Clearly, she had welcomed such a wretch with open arms, and he had the audacity to doubt that Charlette was evil. Even his friend Brendan had been warmly received by her. One could question what delicacies Brendan had enjoyed since arriving!"In the end, can't maintain that calm and gentle demeanor?" Jonas teased as he turned his head towards Charlette. He knew Charlette had been dissatisfied with him for a long time. From the beginning until now, she had always been clawing at him to keep herself calm. It seemed that Charlette's na

"Why, feeling shaken, aren't you?" Charlette spoke with a smile, knowing that Jonas would be moved by this condition."What do you want, in the end?""It's simple, Jonas. I want to make a trade with you. You see, you have something I need, and coincidentally, I have something you need."Jonas could vaguely guess what Charlette was referring to. He just couldn't comprehend why, if she wanted it, she didn't just take it directly. Clearly, she had plenty of opportunities to do so. Maybe even now, even if Charlette wanted to take it, he couldn't resist.Charlette approached Jonas, and her small hand extended to delicately touch his face. She traced her fingers up to his eye, seeming to examine it closely."These eyes are truly beautiful. If they fully fulfill their inherent purpose, they will be even more stunning." Charlette spoke with a sinister smile. What she wanted was indeed his eyes, just like Cuktor. Initially, she didn't want to involve herself with Cuktor's influence, but now th
