Chapter 171: The Departure of the Hammer

"Thank you! I owe you... No, Sun City owes you too much!" Nino said to Antio with emotion.

He really didn't know how to face Anti properly.

Nino knew that he had not actually given Anti any real help. During the incident in the southwest city, he was merely doing his job and was responsible for contacting Anti.

He didn't do anything, but Anti helped him a lot.

He helped him to find out the dark side of Sun City, helped him to crush the plot of Wengerson and others, and was even willing to accept his request again to deal with the Eternal Night Void that even the Rising Sun City was a bit of a headache.

Anti looked over there at the Rising Sun City people who seemed to be eager to come up and talk to him, then looked at Nino: "Actually, it's okay."

The Zhuyang Hammer was still in his hand. After the matter was resolved, he directly called Nie Hong back to Blue Star.

This hammer has a really good temper. It hasn't been in a bad mood for more than half a month. It even wants to communicate with the Hunting Sword, the Lifeless Cane and the Small Scythe.

Although they were all splendidly ignored.

Then, Nino looked at the people from Rising Sun City behind him, his face somewhat embarrassed.

The people of Rising Sun City wanted Nino to help them meet with Anti, while the Zhuyang Empire was completely in the wrong facing Anti, except for the matter of the Zhuyang Hammer.

On the sanctuary side, Aurora Saint Aofei played a major role in this incident. She gave the sanctuary all the glory and benefits that should have been given.

And Anti himself is another big figure, and even his overall contribution is recognized by Nino, which makes him more important than Offie.

As a result, because Anti released part of the Eternal Night's affairs, they had to consider various things and try their best to suppress the influence of Anti.

Anti's reputation among the people in Sun City is negative. Even though they know that Anti smashed Zhuyang and saved Sun City, most of them only saw the horror of Zhuyang shattering and the sky being stained with darkness.

If Anti is really portrayed as a hero, it will be difficult for the Zhuyang Empire.

Anti has done so many things but received no reward, so he took the Zhuyang Hammer away to vent his anger.

The Zhuyang Hammer is of great significance, not only because it is a powerful god-killing weapon, but also because its image in conjunction with Zhuyang has certain symbolic significance.

Therefore, the Empire will definitely try its best to take it back.

When this matter was combined with the previous debts, the Zhuyang Empire felt like it was in a difficult situation.

Of course, it can be said that the Zhuyang Empire, as a major power in the southern part of the Hunmeng Realm, can completely ignore the personal wishes of a small character like Anti.

But is Anti a minor character?

Over at the Andemiye Sanctuary, Saint Aurora Orfeh took a gentle approach to the matter.

We can talk, but if we dare to compromise to the point of being unreasonable, then we may have to reconsider some of the cooperation between the two places.

Originally, Aoife might not have risen to the level of the two major forces of the Sanctuary and the Empire just because of his debt and admiration for one person.

But after this incident, she no longer cared.

The Sanctuary is also completely on the high ground this time, and the Zhuyang Empire cannot take a tough stance at all.

Moreover, Anti is from Juandi. Although he does not have complete support from the official Juandi government, that means he can move around using the teleportation points. If they fall out, can they catch Anti?
Therefore, there is no benefit in taking a hard approach, and we can only persuade them with kind words.

This guy is a real boss.

"Anti, they are..." As the middleman, Nino was in a difficult position.

"Let's go to the reception room of the sanctuary." Anti said directly.

The person from Rising Sun City immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "It's good that we can talk, it's good that we can talk."

If Anti doesn't talk, then in the worst case scenario, the Zhuyang Empire will have to suffer in silence.

Although, they should have been blamed for the Sun City incident.

But why is it the reception room in the sanctuary?

The familiar reception room of the sanctuary.

Anti was occupying one side of the huge conference table. Opposite him was the envoy from Rising Sun City representing the Zhuyang Empire. Kimio was also there. He was the most embarrassed person in the whole meeting.

In the middle was Nino, feeling very uncomfortable, and then came Salomo, who calmly made tea for Anti and Nino, and then had a cup for himself, drinking it leisurely.

The messenger from Rising Sun City? Drink the cold water, at least you are given water.

At this moment, the door was opened, the crisp sound of long boots stepping on the ground was heard, and Aoife walked in.

"Hello, everyone." The polite and refined greeting eased the tension of the imperial people a little.

But they had to be nervous again because Aoife did not sit in the middle, but sat next to Anti.

"You're sitting in the wrong seat." Anti said bluntly.

"You're not wrong. I'm on your side this time."

"No need."

"Are you angry?" Aoife's voice was gentle.

"No...really."

Anti admitted that he might have been somewhat unhappy with the police after the incident in Gross Town, but he really wasn't this time.

For Anti, everything he did was just working for the mysterious boss, whether it was hunting down the Church of the Night Chaser, or later smashing Zhuyang after seeing him transform into a god.

Even if Nino wavered and gave up at that time, he would find a reason to take down Zhuyang.

On the other hand, the Sanctuary did their best in this incident.

Aoife also made significant contributions in the Battle of Zhuyang.

Anti didn't think that there was anything great about his final kill. After all, he had the special attack items and the help of the boss behind the scenes to do this. Even so, without Orphee's cover, he would be easily killed by Zhuyang.

Aofei has taken on the most pressure on his own, so these honors and benefits are indeed more worthy of Aofei.

An Ti himself completed the task, made the boss happy, got benefits from the boss, helped the people he wanted to help, and got two God-killing weapons. The progress of the Eternal Night Crystal branch quest increased steadily. Although he was a little tired along the way, he also had a great time.

Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Except for the wave of Navidad and Evernight's Herald, it was really difficult to hold on.

Of course, there was still no expression on his face.

"I understand. If you really like it, the Sanctuary will try to keep the Sun-Forging Hammer for you." Anti said expressionlessly, and Orphee kept smiling and turned to look at the Imperial.

Anti really wanted to say, "You know nothing."

"Ahem!" The imperial envoy, who was so embarrassed that he had to drink cold water, almost choked when he heard Orphee's unconcealed voice.

"Well... Miss Orphee, this is not something to joke about." The imperial representative said with a wry smile.

"Andemiye Sanctuary is willing to undertake the construction of the second God-killing Soldier for Mr. Anti in exchange. If you agree, the design draft can be sent to the Sunrise City Craftsmen's Association immediately. At the same time, the Zhuyang Empire will also give more additional compensation for Mr. Anti's contribution this time."

Salomo immediately followed up and said, "It has been confirmed that Mr. Anti fought alone and killed several bishops of the main branch of the Night Chaser Church who invaded the Sun City, as well as Livnis, one of the four popes. It has been identified that the fragment of the 'Night' pillar he obtained is the key to resolving the Sun City incident with the least impact."

"The above contents are jointly guaranteed by the Gulan Sacrifice Tower and the Andemiye Sanctuary. At the same time, the rest of the envoys also expressed their gratitude to Mr. Anti for his help and expressed their support for Anti's actions this time. Here is the document."

Looking at the several documents given by Salomo, the envoy of Zhuyang Empire was sweating profusely.

A sanctuary is already difficult to handle, so what the hell is the Gulan Sacrifice Tower? Just join in and guarantee Anti! ?
There are other diplomatic envoys who are just here to watch the fun and enjoy the trouble!

"This……"

At this time, Kimio said: "There is no need to hesitate. We have already made enough mistakes and paid enough compensation. Do we have to hesitate here and let others laugh at us?"

"Kimio..." The messenger looked at him in embarrassment.

"Just take out the highest compensation we have reserved before. There is no reason to make a choice in this regard. If you can't do it, as the person responsible for the loss of the Zhuyang hammer due to the poor performance, I will personally bear half of this compensation." Kimio said calmly.

Hearing this, the messenger no longer insisted.

"The Empire has made clear your attitudes. Let's talk about the plan we have discussed internally." The envoy leaned forward and said sincerely: "The symbolic significance of the Sun-Forging Hammer to the Empire is indeed important. We strongly want to take it back. As compensation for taking back the Sun-Forging Hammer and for Mr. Anti's contribution to the Sun City, the Empire is willing to fully bear the responsibility of forging a God-Slaying Weapon for Mr. Anti."

"In addition, you will be awarded the honorary title of 'Zhuyang Hero'. You will be the empire's eternal friend and a distinguished guest of the Zhuyang Empire."

"I don't know. Are you satisfied with this?"

The messenger looked at Anti nervously.

Others also turned their attention to Anti.

The atmosphere became inexplicably tense.

But Anti was not affected and just thought for three seconds.

"Okay." Then he agreed.

Zhuyang Hammer: ???
I was fighting with my colleagues! Why did I go back to that?
