When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

"Can I sit here?"

Elsa leaned against the front desk and gave Li Shanren a charming smile. Her bold dress style made her look stunning in front of Li Shanren.

"As you wish." Li Shanren nodded.

"Thank you~"

Elsa sat on the chair and looked at the stacks of gold coins arranged by Grandpa Rom on the table. She was surprised and said, "It's not good to expose your wealth so boldly."

"Could it be... to show me your power? Hmm~"

Elsa stared at Li Shanren thoughtfully, a smile on her lipstick-covered lips.

"They came here on their own and asked to buy the item, offering five hundred gold luxos. Sorry, I can't just refuse this price," Feruto said.

She looked at Elsa with shining eyes and said tentatively: "If you can afford a higher price, I will give you the things as agreed."

"I see......"

Elsa picked up the milk offered by Grandpa Rom and took a sip gracefully.

"I didn't expect someone else would intervene. My name is Elsa. I wonder what I should call this handsome young master?"

"You can call me Claude." Li Shanren replied indifferently.

"Claude... um, what about a last name I haven't heard of? Did the young master just arrive in the capital recently?"

Elsa looked at Li Shanren's well-fitting black trench coat and asked in a seemingly calm tone.

"What does this have to do with our deal?" Li Shanren glanced at her and asked back.

Subaru Natsuki, who was sitting on the other side of him, was so nervous after Erza appeared that he couldn't say a word and could only sit there trying to remain calm.

After all, this was the woman who took his life twice in a row.

"I'm just a little curious. Young Master is so cold, but he can't please women~"

Elsa smiled foolishly.

"If the woman you're talking about is you, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in you for now. Let's get down to business."

"Tsk... You're so heartless, but I like it~"

Elsa licked the milk stains on the corners of her mouth and glanced at the golden coins on the table again.

"What a pity! I may not be able to offer a higher price. My employer only gave me 20 holy gold coins."

She took a purse from her body and poured out a rough amount of gold coins.

Those well-made holy gold coins are basically a circle larger than ordinary gold Luxos, and they emit a faint halo on the surface, which looks extremely extraordinary.

But in terms of quantity, it is far inferior to the price offered by Li Shanren.

"There is no doubt that 20 holy gold coins are not as good as 500 gold luxos, but judging from their rarity and practicality, few people would exchange holy gold coins for ordinary gold luxos, especially for extraordinary people. It depends on what you choose."

Erza looked at Felt, who was between them.

"Actually... there are really only twenty holy gold coins..."

Firut was a little disappointed, she thought she could earn a higher premium.

However, having 500 gold russo was not bad either. It was a wealth she had never imagined, but now it was within her reach.

"Hmm? You don't seem surprised. Why?"

Elsa looked at Firut with a playful expression, and in an instant, a certain aura seemed to rise from her, and it was concentrated on Firut through the gaze of her eyes.

"This is what the guy next to you told us."

Felt spoke so naturally that even she didn’t react.

However, the next second, Felt realized what had happened and said angrily: “You actually used truth magic on me?! Hey, you’ve crossed the line!”

"Did I cross the line...? Well, that's really... just right~"

Elsa's voice suddenly became lazy, with a charming smile.

"Young Master, why do you know the price I'm going to offer in advance? I really want to know~"

There was a hint of coldness in that gentle voice.

"哐——!"

The peculiarly shaped recurve scimitar was swung out with a sharp cold light, chopped fiercely on a golden kite-shaped shield, and the temporarily condensed magic shield was instantly covered with cracks.

"Are you losing your temper so soon? I thought you would chat for a while longer."

Li Shanren slowly put down the water cup, touched his waist with his left hand, and a moon-white long sword appeared at his waist.

"You are indeed not simple, young master."

Elsa smiled brightly, holding the scimitar in her backhand, and swung it out again in the blink of an eye. Terrifying power burst out from her seemingly slender and boneless arm, shattering the golden kite shield that was already at the end of its strength.

After breaking the shield, the scimitar did not retreat but advanced, stabbing towards Li Shanren's abdomen at a faster speed.

"Ping—"

The long sword with beautiful patterns printed on it was held horizontally, blocking the scimitar on the opposite side without giving an inch.

Li Shanren groaned, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise.

With his current strength attribute of 35 points, he had to use % of his strength to block the blow. Although it was due to his haste, it was enough to show that Elsa was quite strong.

At least... it's of gold level.

"Whoosh-!"

The spiked hammer came whistling and smashed into Elsa's head.

"The old man is really heartless to treat such a weak woman like this."

Elsa chuckled, leaned back to avoid the attack, then kicked Li Shanren's horizontal knife, and flew backwards with the help of the reaction force, putting some distance between herself and the crowd.

"Humph, although I am old, I am not so old that I cannot lift a weapon. If you want to cause trouble, be prepared to be beaten into a pulp by me."

Behind the counter, Grandpa Rom was holding a mace and staring at Elsa with unfriendly eyes.

Li Shanren was knocked back slightly by the force of the kick, and then a pair of hands caught him from behind, helping him to relieve the last bit of force.

"Are you okay, senior?" Subaru Natsuki asked nervously.

"It's okay. I can handle it." Li Shanren left his seat and said in a deep voice, "You and Firut leave here first. Firut, when you get out, give him the badge, and the deal between us will be done."

"And Master Rom, please protect them both. I'll take care of this woman."

After the words fell, Master Luo Mu did not agree, and said in a muffled voice: "It is not my style to abandon guests, and this is my territory. How can I let the guests deal with danger and the host run away?"

"The situation is different now. This woman is at least at the gold level. You can't handle her."

Li Shanren held the knife in one hand and stared vigilantly at Elsa who was a dozen steps away.

Grandpa Rom's strength is at most around elite level, and he can't even reach the level of a strong man among the elite level.

Although the big guy looks intimidating and can deal with the thugs in the slums, he is basically a piece of cake when facing Elsa.

Hearing this, Master Rom hesitated, but after a while he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, he stepped back facing Elsa.

On the other side, Subaru Natsuki had already grabbed Felt's hand and ran out the door, "Let's go first."

He knew very well that if he and others stayed, they would only be a hindrance, so it would be better for him to trust his seniors.

"If you want to run, you have to ask me first~"

Elsa chuckled, and seemed to turn into a shadow, passing through the wall and blocking the door in an instant.

She gently waved the scimitar in her hand and said jokingly, "Just play with me. It would be so boring if you ran away."

"It's enough for me to play with you alone."

Li Shanren sheathed his sword, bent down, and unexpectedly slashed out a beam of azure light.

The blade arc containing pure power flew out horizontally, making it almost impossible for people to react.

Elsa instinctively leaped up and narrowly avoided the knife light that was powerful enough to cut her in half, but the soles of her feet were still affected, and the bottoms of her high-heeled leather boots were cut smoothly, even taking away a large piece of foot skin, revealing bloody flesh.

Although this injury was not considered serious, the pain was unbearable for most people. However, after Elsa landed, she looked normal and looked at Li Shanren with a smile, as if she was not the one who was injured.

"Your knife is very fast, but I need to be faster."

As soon as she finished speaking, Elsa slid forward like a shadow, turned the scimitar lightly, and cut towards Li Shanren's throat.

The speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to react.

However, Li Shanren had already undergone some training in close combat, and was able to keep up with Elsa's ghostly speed. He held the scimitar with his sword horizontally and resisted it tightly.

Although her attack was thwarted, Elsa did not show any disappointment. Instead, she revealed a mocking smile.

"Senior, be careful! She has two knives!"

Seeing this, Subaru Natsuki, who was watching the battle from a distance, seemed to remember something and hurriedly reminded loudly.

The next second, Elsa took out a new scimitar from under her clothes with her free hand and stabbed it into Li Shanren's abdomen with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

The golden kite-shaped shield appeared again and blocked the knife without any error.

Li Shanren snorted coldly, and his arm strength burst out, blocking Elsa's scimitar and slashing forward.

However, Elsa, who had failed to land an effective hit in two consecutive attacks, had already retreated and easily dodged.

Li Shanren did not intend to let her go easily. In an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot. His speed was so fast that only Elsa among the people present caught the trajectory of his movements and flipped her double swords to block.

The sharp scimitar made of fine steel forcefully deflected the attacking famous sword Yueyin, and the sharp tip instantly turned into the sickle of the god of death and stabbed towards the exposed chest.

Li Shanren held the long knife tightly with both hands, gently moved the handle, used the middle part of the blade to block Elsa's counterattack, and at the same time skillfully turned the blade to cut the opponent's wrist.

Elsa took a step back first, doing an elegant backflip and landing far away again.

In just a few breaths, the confrontation between the two was extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake would result in death on the spot.

"Young Master, I really can't underestimate you."

Elsa licked her lips.

"It seems like we need to show some real skills."

Li Shanren's eyes narrowed slightly, and he held his long sword horizontally, assuming the sword-fighting stance that Altaïr had strictly taught him, ready for battle.

Elsa smiled slightly, jumped high, paused in the air for a moment, and then dived down like an arrow.

"Ping——!"

Li Shanren used his famous sword Yueyin and a makeshift golden kite-shaped shield to block the attack.

However, Elsa's subsequent attack was like a violent storm. She constantly used her body skills to change positions and launched attacks from all directions, looking for a flaw that would kill her with one blow.

Li Shanren's face darkened slightly. He was extremely focused at this moment. He could always swing the Yueyin long sword just right to block Elsa's attack and defend himself perfectly.

Tifa had given him special training for this type of attack, so he was not easily dragged down by Elsa's rhythm.

But as a gold-level transcendent, Elsa's combat skills are undoubtedly much higher than Tifa's.

As time went by, Li Shanren gradually felt a little tired.
