39: Chapter 39 First Encounter with Beirut!

Blazing Sun Desert.

Inside the stone castle.

"You... who are you?"

Looking at the old man in the corner.

Allen's pupils constricted, and he asked with some trepidation.

This wasn't an act.

Allen was genuinely startled.

Because Allen had already guessed the other party's identity.

Beirut, the Wind-style Lowgod Sovereign, the true controller of the Yulan Continent.

How could the other party appear in front of him?

You have to know.

Even in the original story when Linley became a God-level Expert, Beirut did not appear on his own initiative.

What virtue or ability did he have to make the other party descend in person?

"Heh~"

"Lucky little fellow."

"You don't need to be afraid; I have no malicious intent."

"..."

Seeing Allen's reaction.

The smile on Beirut's face deepened.

He naturally didn't know what Allen was thinking.

He simply thought that Allen was afraid of him.

This was very normal.

Because the gap between them was too large.

If he hadn't actively released a wisp of his own aura.

Allen, a Lowgod, wouldn't even have been able to perceive his existence.

Under such circumstances.

As long as Allen wasn't an idiot.

He wouldn't dare to be impudent in front of him.

"Junior Allen Dawson."

"I do not know who you are, my lord. What brings you here?"

"..."

Very quickly.

Allen took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Beirut.

He knew Beirut's true identity.

But his current identity shouldn't know these things.

Therefore.

Allen could only play dumb.

Regardless of what purpose Beirut had.

Allen's only choice was to act along with Beirut's thoughts.

"I am Beirut."

"As for my purpose in coming here?"

"No particular purpose."

"I just came to see you, this newly ascended God-level Expert."

"..."

Hearing Allen's inquiry.

Beirut shook his head and answered indifferently.

Ever since Allen obtained the heritage of that Seven-Star Fiend in Red Flame Valley.

Beirut would observe Allen's situation every so often.

And it was precisely because of this.

Seeing that Allen had become a Fire-style Lowgod at only twenty-something years old.

Beirut had a sudden inspiration and got the idea to meet Allen.

"So it is Lord Beirut."

"My lord, you jest."

"My Breakthrough was purely a matter of luck."

"Since I am now aware of your existence, it should have been me going to pay my respects to you."

"..."

Facing the amiable Beirut.

Allen did not dare to have the slightest thought of negligence.

He kept his attitude very humble, with a look of respect always on his face.

In the original story.

Beirut was Linley's cheat code.

If not for Beirut, Linley would never have become a Sovereign.

Therefore, the original story's depiction of Beirut was more like a kind elder.

But Allen was no fool.

Beirut had never been a kind person.

Before becoming a Sovereign, he had left behind the legend of the God-slaying Rat in Hell.

In the end.

He even dared to compete with the Chief Sovereign of Light in order to become a Sovereign.

Even after being threatened by the Chief Sovereign of Light and not daring to leave the Yulan Continent.

Beirut had never given up and had always been looking for a way to regain his freedom.

Such a person, no matter how you looked at it, was not a good person.

If Allen dared to be disrespectful to Beirut.

He did not doubt for a moment that he would definitely not live to see tomorrow's sun.

"Enough."

"Lucky kid."

"I won't waste any more words with you."

"Ever since you obtained that unlucky fellow's space ring in Red Flame Valley."

"I have been paying attention to your situation."

"I didn't expect."

"In less than ten years, you have already broken through to a Lowgod."

"Not bad, very not bad!"

"..."

Seeing that Allen's attitude remained respectful.

Beirut didn't beat around the bush and directly pointed out Allen's "secret."

Even though he was a genuine Sovereign.

He still couldn't perceive the System inside Allen.

In Beirut's eyes.

The space ring that Allen obtained was Allen's greatest Opportunity.

"Ah?"

Hearing Beirut's words.

A look of trepidation immediately appeared in Allen's eyes.

Of course.

This was an act by Allen.

Because he had long guessed this matter.

Beirut was, after all, the absolute Dominator of the Yulan Continent.

How could he not know what was underground in Red Flame Valley?

"What?"

"Scared?"

"Worried that I'll take your Opportunity?"

Detecting Allen's gaze.

Beirut's expression suddenly became playful.

He naturally didn't care about those things.

He was just a little curious about what choice Allen would make.

Would he turn and run, taking the treasure with him?

Or would he find an Opportunity to sneak attack him and make him shut up forever?

"My lord, you jest."

"I have indeed been to Red Flame Valley and obtained some Opportunity."

"But with your strength, my lord, you surely aren't lacking these things."

"Otherwise."

"You would have appeared long ago, wouldn't you?"

"..."

Under Beirut's gaze.

Allen showed no panic at all; instead, he revealed a faint smile.

Under normal circumstances.

Whoever obtained an Opportunity would hide it, fearing it might be stolen by others.

But who was Beirut?

He was a high and mighty Sovereign.

Would a Sovereign care about the heritage of a Highgod?

Of course not.

Even setting aside the identity of a Sovereign.

Beirut also possessed the strength of a top-tier Asura.

Beirut would simply not care about the wealth of a Seven-Star Fiend.

"Heh!"

"You kid."

"Not only lucky, but also a bit clever."

"..."

Hearing Allen's words.

Beirut was slightly stunned, then laughed again.

He really hadn't expected Allen's brain to work so fast.

Indeed.

If not for his tacit approval.

Even if Allen appeared near the underground magma.

Allen would not have been able to obtain that Seven-Star Fiend's heritage.

"Forget it."

"Let's end it here for today."

"If you are free in the future, you can come to my Dark Forest for a visit."

"..."

A moment later.

Beirut spoke again, addressing Allen.

Since he had already seen Allen.

And Allen's performance had made Beirut quite satisfied.

Beirut naturally didn't want to stay here and continue wasting time with Allen.

After speaking.

Beirut wanted to turn and leave.

"Lord Beirut, please wait."

Just at this moment.

Allen's voice rang in Beirut's ears.

"Oh?"

"Anything else?"

Beirut's footsteps paused.

He looked at Allen with interest, a flash of curiosity in his eyes.

This kid was trembling and cautious earlier, not even daring to speak much.

But now he dared to take the initiative to stop him; there must be something important.

Feeling Beirut's gaze.

Allen took a deep breath, then slowly spoke.

"Lord Beirut."

"Since you already know about the matter in Red Flame Valley."

"Then I will not hide it from you."

"Although I obtained that expert's space ring."

"I am completely ignorant of many things inside the space ring."

"I make bold to ask you, my lord, to enlighten me."

"..."
