“Sister Audrey, that brat must be feeling smug right now. If you call him now, he might really go to heaven.” Mulan saw through Audrey’s intentions. She must have felt that it was more fun to do so.

“What’s the matter? I also want to see how smug he is right now.”

After saying that, Audrey called Robert.

Outside the holy city of Rome, Robert finally left the inner city. He left the place that was filled with evil cultists. In front of him was a familiar modern city. Compared to the solemn inner city, the outer city had the hustle and bustle that the inner city did not have, it simply felt more like a real city.

“After leaving Rome, where should I go next?”

Robert knew that his most important task now was to quickly increase the awakening level of the Sword of Faries bloodline. After all, 10% was too low. In his opinion, he had to achieve 100% as soon as possible.

“Grooowl~”

Suddenly, his stomach seemed to protest.

“Let’s find a place to fill my stomach first.”

Robert walked into a noodle shop and order a bowl of noodles before thinking about what would happen next.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

At this moment, Audrey called him.

“Sister Audrey? Why are you calling me so soon? Are you concerned about my safety? Thank you for your concern. I’m doing very well now. Take care of yourself. When I settle down, I’ll give you a call.”

Robert raised his guard. He had just spoken to them on the phone a moment earlier, but now she was calling him once again. It was definitely not because she was concerned about his safety. There must be another reason.

It was too dangerous to talk with these girls. It was only until a while ago that Robert realized that he might actually die talking to these big shots. He was very impressed with his predecessor for being able to chat with them for so many years without any problems.

However, he knew that his predecessor was a real loser. Perhaps he had been completely seen through by these ladies. The reason they still kept in contact with him might actually be because they saw him as a sort of pet, someone that was fun for them to tease.

Robert shook his head and sighed.

“Oh, the fickleness of mankind…”

After saying that, he wanted to hang up the phone.

“Robert, I advise you not to hang up the phone. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be…”

Audrey’s voice still sounded gentle and pleasant, but Robert knew very well that if he went against her wishes, the consequences would be dire.

Robert immediately smiled and said, “How can that be? Having senior sister Audrey take the initiative to call me personally, I must be the luckiest man alive.”

“Now, that’s more like it.”

“Sister Audrey, what’s so urgent that you’re calling me again so soon?”

Robert was still on high alert. Could it be that they had discovered his secret about the system? If this really happened, was his “cheat” now exposed?

Before Audrey could speak, Mulan’s voice rang out from the phone.

“Sister Audrey is amazing. Let’s see if he still dares to be so arrogant.”

Robert felt like he got wronged.

“What are you talking about? When did I become arrogant?”

Mulan chuckled and raised her voice.

“Not arrogant? In the past, you didn’t even dare to talk to me like that. Do you think that after becoming the master of the Divine Sword in the Stone and having its sword spirit offer to train you, you’re going to ascend? Is that why you were acting so cocky? Let me tell you, even with the help of the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone, you’re still far from reaching our level.”

When Robert heard Mulan’s disdainful words, the anger swelled up in his heart.

“So all of you already know about it, huh? Hehe, then I won’t hide it from you any longer. I did see the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone. She said that my body was amazing, that my talent was extraordinary, and that I was a diamond in the rough. In the future, I would be a man who will conquer the lands. So, she decided to give everything she had to help me raise my strength.”

From Mulan’s words, Robert knew that Kael must have gone back and told them about the reason he made up. In reality, there was no training from the Divine Sword in the Stone. It was just an excuse he came up with to hide his secret.

However, when he saw that these ladies had actually believed him, Robert was actually very happy.

That was a perfectly universal excuse.

“Robert, do you really want to go to ascend to the heavens? How about I fly over to look for you right now and let you know what it means to keep a low profile?”

At this moment, Mulan was quite angry. Of course, she was only trying to scare Robert. After all, she had no idea where exactly Robert’s current location was.

After hearing Mulan’s threat, Robert snorted in his mind.

“Who are you trying to scare?

“If you really had the capability to do so, would I still be able to stand here safely right now?”

Robert thought to himself before saying.

“Senior Sister Mulan, not only do I want to ascend, I want to fly out and conquer the lands.”

Mulan was so angry that she was having heart palpitations. He was really too arrogant. This was the first time she had seen Robert being like this. She really missed the old Robert in her heart.

“Whew, sisters, look at Robert now. All he knows is to talk big, where did our cute little Robert go?”

Audrey and the others were instantly speechless when they heard Mulan’s words.

“When did you ever think Robert was cute? You definitely thought he was just stupid.”

However, Robert had indeed changed. He seemed to have changed into a completely different person from before.

This was probably because the former good-for-nothing suddenly had a holy relic to his name. Had he regained his confidence?

That must be the case.

Mulan chuckled and said to Robert.

“Robert, all you know now is to talk big. Do you still want to fly?

“It’s not impossible if you want to fly, but you must first reach our level.”

Robert rolled his eyes. Neither his predecessor nor he knew what level Audrey and the others were at.

“Senior sister Mulan, what level of power are you at now?”

“Demigod.”

“Tsk!” Robert took a deep breath. He had been chatting with such a powerful group all this time?

Tears immediately streamed down Robert’s face.

To be frank, he still had no idea what was the stages of power above the demigod level.

“Dear senior sisters, may I ask what level of power is above demigod?”

Fubuki answered in an indifferent tone.

“Above demigods, there are pseudo-Gods and True Gods. However, the current density of spiritual energy in this world can only accommodate the strength of demigods. If a pseudo-God or true God descends into this world, their strength will be forcefully suppressed to the level of demigods.”

After hearing this, Robert learned more about this world once again.

He remembered what he had said earlier and immediately said once through the phone, “Senior sisters, please let me retract my previous statement. I’m only pitiful bronze-level. I’m too far away from becoming a demigod.”

“Don’t be discouraged so early, Robert. Don’t forget, you’re a man who would conquer the lands. How can you just give up?” Mulan said with a cheeky tone. She felt a sudden sense of happiness in her heart.
