Chapter 172 Talk
This matter has come to fruition.

The envoy of Zhuyang Empire breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and shook hands with Anti, saying: "You are a hero of Sun City, and you will also be a hero of Zhuyang Empire. Thank you for everything you have done for the empire."

"Cash on delivery." But Anti just replied indifferently.

The messenger smiled a little stiffly, but still nodded in approval: "Of course, you will get the news in a month at the latest. You can leave some requests first, and then remember to keep an eye on the news from the Mixed Dream Realm."

The Zhuyang Hammer naturally cannot be returned casually. Although this matter was accomplished under the witness of the Sanctuary and others, if the Zhuyang Hammer is returned directly, after the Zhuyang Empire’s primary goal is achieved, there will be no need to rush to give an explanation to Anti.

These forces are very good at bickering, especially when a state agency is dealing with an individual.

Therefore, the Zhuyang Hammer should wait until it is a little warmer in Anti's hand before using it.

However, the envoy first handed a medal to Anti, the style of the medal was based on the second cast yang.

This is the actual symbol of the title of "Hero of Zhuyang" mentioned earlier. With this, Anti can receive extremely high treatment in the territory of Zhuyang Empire.

It’s the benefit of networking.

After Anti accepted this thing, it was considered a guarantee to the Zhuyang Empire.

The envoy from the Zhuyang Empire had many other things to deal with, so he said goodbye and left. Kimio greeted Antio again and followed him.

After this matter was resolved, Nino stood up and said to Anti: "Anti, Sun City also has some thanks and compensation for you."

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Anti asked.

"The Empire's side is official business. As for the Sun City side, it just so happens that you have received the medal of 'Hero of Casting Sun', so it is only right that you are treated like this. I owe you too much, and I know you don't care much about these, but repaying you in this way will make me feel better." Nino said seriously.

Hearing this, Anti had no choice but to agree.

The Sun City represented by Nino first gave Anti a lot of money, which was very simple and practical.

Sun City helped Antii open an account in the Zhuyang Empire, and now Antii is considered a wealthy man in the Dream World.

Although Anti, who made his original accumulation by handling the stolen goods in Gross Town, was never short of money, he probably won't be short of money in the future as it is now.

The Zhuyang Empire is a big country in the southern part of the Hunmeng Realm. The country's currency and accounts can be used in the mainstream areas of the Hunmeng Realm. There is no need to worry except in extremely remote places.

Then there’s a property in Sun City.

Zhuyang Youshen caused huge damage to many areas of Sun City, especially Zhuyang Youshen's several ground bombings, which directly razed a considerable part of Sun City to the ground.

The reconstruction work is in progress. Sun City has reserved land for Anti in advance. After the reconstruction is completed, the land will belong to Anti.

Although he seemed to own real estate for some unknown reason, he might still care about it if he were on Earth, but in this world he could only say that he might have one more place to rest in the future.

"What a pity! I had originally thought of erecting a monument for you, but due to the impact issue, the publicity about you is still restricted." Nino said regretfully.

"I'm not dead yet."

"The stele doesn't have to be left only after your death. It's okay. You have to leave some traces in the history of the Zhuyang Empire anyway. We will help you with it after the limelight has passed." Salomo said with a smile.

The gentle and elegant image at the beginning is really getting further and further away.

Anti didn't pay any more attention to the matter.

After everyone had a meal together, Nino and Salomo had a lot of things to do, so they left.

And Anti was also preparing to return to Blue Star. Aofei offered to give him a ride, and Anti did not refuse.

The two walked side by side on the way to the nearest teleportation point.

"Anti, when do you plan to visit Andemiye? It seems that you still have an appointment with Mr. Safin to fulfill." On the way, Orfei took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

"Wait for a while until the storm passes." Anti replied.

He wanted to go to the Sanctuary to find Safin's daughter to return the pendant, but when the matter in Gross Town just ended, he had a mediocre first impression of the Sanctuary and his attention was on Blue Star, so he postponed it. Then, there was a series of events from Sun City to Cinder City and then back to Sun City.

As a result, his reputation in the sanctuary increased at a very strange rate, and now he doesn't really want to go to the sanctuary anymore.

"Sorry, maybe we are too enthusiastic and you, Anti, are not used to it." Aofei seemed to realize something and said with a smile.

It turns out you still know.

Anti thought for a moment and decided to speak out: "Just treat me as an ordinary person."

"But you are not an ordinary person. Ordinary people would not face the Wandering God just because of an agreement with a stranger, nor would they save so many people in the City of Ashes and end everything on their own. Nor would they go deep into the Eternal Night alone to find the key to breaking the deadlock, and finally shatter Zhuyang for their friends."

"...Some things are more coincidental." Anti said.

"Although the process is indeed important, the reality is that we look at the results very directly, Mr. Anti." Aofei said to Anti with a chuckle.

Anti was silent.

How come this woman speaks so sensibly?

Seeing that Anti didn't say anything, Aoife nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then said in a casual tone: "By the way, the Night Stalker is actually on Anti, right?"

Anti turned to look at Aoife.

Aoife didn't look at Anti, but looked ahead, and said calmly: "When I sorted out the information afterwards, I found that there was actually traces of the Hunter in this incident. After all, it was resurrected not long ago, and now it has been involved in the Sun City incident again. Although it is not strange that the beast chasing the night would be attracted here, but Anti, you happen to be here too."

"Then I dug deeper and questioned some witnesses...Anti, it seems that you still have a large sword-shaped God-killing weapon in your hand?"

At this point, he is indeed not a fool. If he really wants to check it out, Anti has no intention of playing dumb: "Yeah."

Aoife glanced at Anti and said, "The unknown being who defeated the hunter in Gross Town was actually you."

"Ah."

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

"Ok?"

Anti was originally prepared to accept some questioning. Although he didn't think that Aofei would directly break up with him because of this kind of thing, after all, it was related to the parade of gods, so the process had to be followed.

As a result, Aoife's words made Anti confused.

Girl, why are you apologizing?
"After all, Antii, no matter what you encountered in Gross Town, it was ultimately caused by our mistakes. If I had arrived half a day earlier, perhaps..." Aoife said.

"Well, you may have some misunderstandings..." Anti wanted to explain, but seeing Aofei's expression, he felt that his explanation would be in vain, so he changed the subject directly: "What are you going to do with me after knowing this?"

"Ah, this, Anti, you seem to be very normal. Even though I am so close to you now, I can't sense any breath of the Wandering God Curse. Obviously, you already have many God-killing weapons in your hands."

Aoife said as she moved closer to Anti.

So this strange sense of distance along the way was also a test?

Anti took a step to the side to create some distance.

Aoife’s previous performance really made her look like a “saint”, but it was obvious that this woman was not a naive person.

The Aurora Saint holds an important position, so the white color must be stained with some "black".

But this little bit of "darkness" is just right, so that it doesn't make it too uncomfortable for Anti to get along with her.

Aoife didn't care about Anti's keeping his distance, and said to himself: "You have your secrets, and you have even found your mission. As long as you are still a hero in the dream world, our Andemiye Sanctuary will continue to support you behind the scenes."
