Chapter 176: Chapter 166 Joining the Guard Team

"Then won’t I be in great danger after going out, easily targeted for assassination by foreign forces?" Rosen said.

"Don’t worry, the world is speculating that the Chosen One might be between Nangong Wan and Tang Xichen, no one suspects you, so you can safely join the Town Guard." Meng Die said.

"What, Tang Xichen is also considered a potential Chosen One? Then wouldn’t he be in great danger!" Rosen expressed his concern.

"Risks and opportunities coexist, and as a result, the Tang Family has received attention from various sides of the Central Plains. Nangong Wan has even dispatched a large number of experts to protect Tang Xichen, making her safety higher than yours."

Meng Die stated a harsh fact.

Tang Xichen being seen as the Chosen One is fine, after all, she has a big family and bodyguards for protection, but I truly have nothing, no power to protect myself.

However, Rosen quickly realized, and exclaimed in astonishment, "No way, why would you let me join the Guard Team? Are you trying to drive me away so quickly?"

Catching on, Rosen was somewhat surprised.

"What do you think, if someone being watched suddenly disappears, what would those watching you think?"

"They will definitely use all means to search until one day, they find their way here to me."

"Didn’t you say this Lord World is completely sealed off, that outsiders can’t enter?" Rosen retorted.

"It’s not that they can’t enter, but that it’s not easy to find," Meng Die explained. "Because the Teleportation Gate is hidden, but if someone invests the manpower and resources, they can still find their way here, and eventually, this place will be exposed anyway. So I advise you to go outside, let the Guard Team provide protection. This way, you not only get training but also stay informed about the outside world. As for your family, I’ll protect them."

"From now on, I’ll transport you in every evening, and during the day, you’ll follow orders in the Guard Team, gathering intelligence from the outside. Recently, as the news of the Chosen One spreads, the world will change dramatically. During this period, the Chosen One cannot just hide away; otherwise, they can’t adapt to the changing times, won’t grow enough, and their role won’t be fulfilled."

Rosen understood Meng Die’s meaning, that the Chosen One is only suited to face the wind and rain, struggling and venturing outside, unlike a sheltered flower. As for what Meng Die said about his Lord World being found, it’s probably a threat, a reason to force him to grow faster.

"Alright, I’ll go over to the Town Guard to report."

...

At the Town Guard registration office.

When Rosen arrived here, he unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

"Enchanting Demon?!"

Rosen then remembered that he had let the Enchanting Demon lord roam free in the Undead Territory after his Lord World was destroyed, and the Enchanting Demon apparently disappeared.

Unexpectedly, she appeared at the Guard Team side.

"Did you escape?" Rosen asked.

"Escape? What do you mean?" the Enchanting Demon looked puzzled and said, "Actually, I left your territory a long time ago. It’s nice getting paid every month for doing nothing, but there’s no real lordship there. Joining the Guard Team to execute missions is the life I should be living."

Lords are accustomed to licking blood off the blade, it’s easy to understand.

"But you, what’s the matter, why are you thinking of reporting to the Guard Team’s registration office?" the Enchanting Demon then asked.

"What else, my territory got turned over." Rosen shrugged.

"Oh, I can understand, it happens countless times a year, I guess we are in the same boat. I joined the Guard Team a little earlier than you, and today I’m just here for duty, we can team up to execute missions later."

"It’s possible, just help me with the registration formalities first." Rosen said casually.

After registering the information, the registration door suddenly swung open, and a fat man with a big head and ears walked in from outside.

He shouted at the Enchanting Demon lord, "Enchanting Demon little sister, I just told you to come serve me, why did you run over here?"

The abrupt voice caught Rosen’s attention, his eyes looking towards the swaggering fat man behind him.

"He’s just a squad leader, not even of our squad, what’s he being so arrogant about?" the Enchanting Demon lord directly retorted.

"Hmph, your squad leader is my defeated subordinate. According to the unspoken rules here, all of you are my defeated subordinates and should listen to my every word!" The fat man revealed an ugly smile and said, "Obediently come back with me to warm my bed, I won’t treat you badly, I’ll even let you ride on your useless squad leader’s head."

"Tch, disgusting, get lost!" the Enchanting Demon lord said disdainfully.

The fat man named Zhang Fei is the captain of Team 1 of the Town Guard. He is arrogant and domineering, and the unspoken rules here were created by him, meant to unify a team that would follow him at all times.

In the Town Guard, there’s always been a hierarchy. At the top is the leader, then there are five teams, each led by a captain, and teams are allowed to form small squads on their own, providing a certain advantage in combat.

The Enchanting Demon lord had intended to form such a small squad with Rosen to execute missions.

The problem is, Zhang Fei is Team 1 captain, a higher position with certain authority. If it weren’t for their Team 2 captain having some say and the Guard Team leader maintaining order, the entire guard might very well be under Zhang Fei’s influence.

"You can resist me now, because one, you don’t know how strong I am, and think I can’t be relied upon, and two, because of the leader’s rules. But you should know, when you’re out executing missions, you’ll understand that without me you won’t be able to take a step forward!"

Seeing Enchanting Demon still unwilling to agree with him, Zhang Fei spat out a threat and turned away.

In his view, once the Enchanting Demon goes on her first mission and understands the pain of being isolated, she’ll realize it; he is the true ruler of the Guard Team.

"What was up with that fat guy just now, clearly abusing his power?" Rosen couldn’t help but feel speechless. The Guard Team he remembered wasn’t like this at all.

Last time when Rosen’s father helped him find a position within the Guard Team, the responders were quite polite, unlike that captain just now, who clearly bullied people.

"I don’t know, maybe there are scumbags like that everywhere, using their position to bully others, but don’t worry, that kind of person usually doesn’t make it past Chapter two." The Enchanting Demon lord coldly said.

"Do you think it’s possible he might make it past Chapter two?" Rosen held a different view and said, "It’s clear that things have changed, I’m afraid the whole Guard Team is off-kilter."

"You noticed too?" Enchanting Demon asked in surprise.

"Of course, it feels like more foreign forces are infiltrating our Central Plains, disrupting the original order, yet our Central Plains lion still hasn’t noticed." Rosen speculated.

"Yes, even the Guard Team is showing chaos, who knows about other places; but one thing’s certain, the leader is trustworthy, he’s been here for over ten years, protecting the safety of the town, there can’t be a problem." the Enchanting Demon assuredly said.

"Then what about your Team 2 captain, if he can be trusted, I’ll join your team."

"Rest assured, our Team 2 captain is absolutely trustworthy and is one of the main opponents to Zhang Fei."

"Alright, take me there then."

When Rosen subsequently met the Team 2 captain, he was suddenly taken aback.

This person, he actually knew?!
