The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 115 ~ Incognito missions

The gloomy and humid atmosphere of the prison was indeed the same wherever Ren was. The unpleasant smell that pierces the nose is no longer a strange thing. Especially if in one prison there are several different people.

Luckily this time Ren was placed in an empty prison. So that he does not need to jostle with other prisoners. Overcoming unpleasant odors is easier if there is no one around.

Using water magic, Ren cleans every corner of the prison. Then after that use wind magic to dry the remnants of water between the floor and the wall.

All done by Ren when the guards are not around. And incidentally, Ren was placed in a far-flung prison far from the rest of the prison.

.....

It's been a few hours since Ren was thrown in jail. In that period, he did various things including a little experiment. As a result, Ren found some interesting facts related to the City of Soliedavosa.

Ren's estimate of which perceptual barrier proved to be wrong was large. Where previously he had thought this barrier of perception was absolute and impenetrable to anything.

But all of that proves to be untrue, if Ren increases the perception of mana at one point like a piercing needle. Then he could break through the barrier of perception where it was.

The most important fact is that there is no existence of Mana equal to Rakuza, Raytsa, or Rusava. The perception of where Ren had proved that was by searching all over the city.

Then Ren focused on examining the building in the city center. Most likely this building is the Temple of Earth, the residence of the Great Bishop of Earth as well as the central temple where his followers worship gods.

Some existences have a barrier of mana perception around them. So it was quite difficult for Ren to break through and see how much power they had one by one.

But one thing is certain, the person who bears the title of Great Bishop is in the highest place alone. Ren was unable to guess what he was doing because he just remained motionless.

The perception of where to go back down the Temple of Earth and find something. "Oh?"

Ren finally finds Nirlayn and Arystina who are currently in one of the rooms of the Temple of Earth. Based on which conditions, movements, and waves were ejected, the two of them were not in a dangerous condition.

Realizing that he made Ren sigh in relief, then ended the examination of Soliedavosa City.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Ren got up and stood up. Waiting for the arrival of the person who will examine him as a prisoner.

A few moments later, a golden-armored young man came alone. Walk with confidence and a full expression of arrogance. He puffed out his chest and raised his head, as if he was looking down on everything.

There were no other words Ren could speak to describe himself other than being annoying. To the size of a man who looked younger than him (on earth), he was too arrogant.

The door from the prison opened, the man went inside the prison glancing left and right as if no one was there. Like deliberately ignoring the figure of Ren standing in front of him.

"Hoo .. sorry, this Mr. Lart doesn't realize there's a weakling like you before." The man, Lart squinted his eyes cynically.

A grakk!!

Ren clenched his hand until some bones from his hand cracked. The terrible thing about it all was, Ren was still smiling kindly while doing so.

This scene looked like a showdown of arrogance between two arrogant people. Stare at each other for a few moments without moving and without taking a single look.

Feeling himself denigrated, Lart looked at Ren full of anger while saying swear words, "Subject! A trash like you has no right to feel equal to me!"

The lart moved the arm, intending to attack Ren who was in a state of silence. But before he attacked, a violent punch flew towards his face.

Ren's blow blew away and instantly rendered Lart unconscious with a frothy mouth. Ren until daydreaming did not believe in all that.

"What the ... This arrogant creature turned out to be very, very weak."

How could a creature as weak as this get such an unusually high sense of arrogance? Ren felt he did not understand.

But in the end, Ren gave up thinking about another problem. Rather than silently contemplating the weaknesses of others, it was better for him to immediately execute a plan.

The inventory portal opened as Ren extended his arms. He picked up a very simple ordinary outfit and put his clothes next to Lart's body.

"Ok, let's do it."

A blood-red aura seeped out from Ren's body like a mist that appeared incessantly. That blood red aura enveloped Ren's entire body and figure for a while, before finally disappearing and revealing Ren's different figure.

Aside from the golden armor, Ren had perfectly imitated the figure of Lart who was currently unconscious. Starting from blonde hair that is combed back, his arrogant face, and body shape.

This was the first time Ren had turned his entire body into a completely different figure. This ability is already included in the category too extraordinary because it can imitate very perfectly.

Unfortunately, Ren has yet to give a name to this one's extraordinary abilities. Maybe he'll think about it well while making the intrusion later.

Ren took off all the golden armour worn by Lart and put it on. With this golden armor, Ren's disguise could be said to have been excellent. There is only one flaw that should be able to perfect a disguise, which is information.

"Eh." Ren justified the posture to fit Lart's behavior and attitude while walking.

Shortly before Ren decides to get out of prison, he suddenly gets an incredible idea.

"How about turning this fucking Lart into a pathetic person?"

Although Ren had never previously used this ability on others, but what was wrong with trying?

The experiment was then carried out. Several times the experiment failed, until finally it really succeeded. After that, Lart was left in a terrible state.

___________________________________________

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lart."

"A bright afternoon, like your brightness, Mr. Lart."

"May you be healthy always, Mr. Lart."

No matter where it was, people always greeted and saluted him. Not a few people also pray that Lart remains healthy and successful.

After all, they had actually met the wrong person. The Lart they so respected had already turned into trash in prison.

Ren tries to gather information by taking a walk in the middle of the city. But Lart's fame seemed so great, that there was this infuriating barrage of greetings and honors.

All the respect from those people ended when Ren reached the Temple of Earth area. The existence of the ordinary residents was already greatly reduced in this place.

One of the soldiers approached in a hurry. He paid his respects to Ren then spoke politely.

"Mr Lart, it's a rare thing to meet you here. What business is it?"

Rare thing? Wasn't this Lart included in the Temple of Earth army? This place should be their gathering place. So it's weird to say that Lart's pretty rare to be here.

"I want to see the two women who were arrested yesterday. Any issues?" clearly Ren was still in an arrogant tone.

The soldier shook his head quickly. "S-not at all! Let me take you there."

"Hoo? Interesting, it seems Lart's status here is not only limited to the Temple of Earth troops."

Ren received with open goodwill from the soldier who wanted to drive him. The soldier took Ren into a large and magnificent temple called the Temple of Earth.

Passing through several streets, rooms, people and hallways until finally stopped in front of a door.

"Here, Mr. Lart." The soldier pointed at the door.

"Um, you can go." Ren flicked his arms arrogantly.

The soldier then left immediately. Whether it was just a feeling or an illusion, but Ren felt that the soldier was running away.

"Hm ... whatever."

The door is opened by Ren, revealing everything in the room, including the figures of Arystina and Nirlayn. They look wary of Ren's arrival while staring intently at him.

Ren ignored them, closing the door tightly to avoid anyone who tried to peek.

When she turned around, Ren was greeted by something interesting and unexpected. Both Nirlayn and Arystina were ready to attack him at any moment.

"Move or die." Nirlayn pointed the Blood Sword towards Ren's neck.

Ren smiled wryly, having no choice but to cancel the disguise. The blood red aura once again covered Ren's entire body and changed back his figure as it was.

How shocked Nirlayn and Arystina were to learn that the figure was not the enemy but their master, Ren.

"Eh, this is really you, isn't it, Your Majesty?!" arystina shouted while moving away.

Nirlayn was calm, pulling the Blood Sword and eliminating it.

"Ren-sama, how could you end up imitating that disgusting figure?"

"That's not important."

Ren sat down on the chair in the room then explained the situation he had known. About Rakuza, Rusava and Raytsa that are not in this city, and about the movement that they will do next.

"Ren-sama, may I make a proposal?"

"Tell me."

"What about moving separately?"

Ren raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

Nirlayn inhaled a breath and again explained his proposal, "I will personally move apart with you to search for the whereabouts of the three of them. As for Arystina, it's up to her to follow you or go along with me."

"If that I understand. I asked, why are you proposing something as risky as this?"

"If it's .. I just want to feel more useful."

Nirlayn's eyes were filled with determination and sincerity in his desire to be useful. Ren was aware of this but he could not allow it.

Who used to almost lose their lives trying to find Ren in the Loudeas Forest? Ren doesn't want the same thing to happen again.

"Alright, I'm rejecting your proposal."

The raw rejection had already been expected by Nirlayn before. For that he did not feel any objection and simply nodded as a sign of approval.

"Oh yeah, there's one more thing I have to say before I leave." Ren changed his figure back to the arrogant Lart.

"What is it, Ren-sama?" ask Nirlayn.

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?" ask Arystina.

"Find Avrogan first. I have a little business with the Great Bishop up there."

Ren waved his hand before finally exiting the room. Nirlayn let out a tired sigh shortly after Ren left the room. As well as Arystina, she sighed for no apparent reason.

"Hey ... Arystina, what if we plan something a little?"
