Chapter 419: Comedy Duo 1
To be honest, I was more than just surprised - I was dumbfounded.
It felt like watching a documentary scene where a baby gazelle fearlessly charges at a lion, headbutting it with its tiny head.
No matter how high-ranking a noble might be, they couldn't openly insult the hero party, right? This guy was basically saying he didn't recognize our faces at all. We weren't playing heroes in secret to save people - we'd openly shown our faces at the temple, Magic Tower, royal palace, and even the empire.
At this point, it was beyond irritation or annoyance - it was almost admirable. Maybe this sleazy noble had face blindness and couldn't recognize people, or perhaps he looked normal but was actually cursed by black magic and being controlled.
Otherwise, how could he not recognize us on the 55th floor?
"Hey, who are those people...?" a nearby mercenary whispered.
"I don't fucking know. Maybe he's just crazy?" another replied.
"Did they come from the Empire? Even the Imperial folks knew who we were."
Even the mercenary groups buying supplies nearby were whispering and keeping their distance to avoid trouble. An interesting spectacle was unfolding - people were gathering to watch but maintaining distance from this long-haired man, creating a strange situation.
