NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1781: Restroom
"Bro, you're not showing martial ethics."
The bearded man sighed.
In martial arts, although skill is most important, one's morals should not be too poor.
If one's morals are lacking, they won't be recognized in the martial arts world and might even be hunted down.
This fellow here clearly has considerable skill, so why use such a disgraceful method?
"Can propriety be eaten for meals? If not, why should I speak about morality with you?" Elaenor Wood leisurely twirled the paper fan in his hand, slicing off the man's beard entirely.
Watching his beard, which he'd grown for over ten years, gently fall, the man almost burst into tears.
"Brother, to be honest, if I take you to see the Holy Master, I'm likely to get my entire clan executed." After pondering for a moment, the man said very seriously, "If I don't take you, only I will die. So, go ahead."
He wasn't lacking in skill.
He had planned to mingle well in the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and become wealthy in the future.
But who would've thought that sometimes when one is unlucky, even a fart would hit their heel?
At the five o'clock shift change in the morning, he had just arrived not long before, and then this happened.
"Why would the Holy Master want to kill you?" Elaenor Wood thought for a moment, then put away his paper fan and patted the man's shoulder, "Among the martial artists invited by the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, where do you think my skills rank?"
"Superior."
After a bit of thought, the man responded.
Martial artists have a very accurate assessment of abilities.
This level of skill to control the winds and rain surpasses most people.
"Since I'm so strong, if you introduce me, wouldn't that be a credit to you?" Elaenor Wood asked again.
"Of course it counts!"
The man said somewhat surprised, "Are you here to join the Holy Master? But I clearly saw you get beaten by the guards."
"Can't a master have a bit of temper? I wanted to see the Holy Master, but they refused to take me, not dying is already quite fortunate." Elaenor Wood gently fanned himself, speaking calmly.
He appeared wise and otherworldly.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly.
Elaenor Wood's gaze fell on the fan, and somewhere on the fan, Julius Reed had written four words.
'Living off a woman.'
"Good heavens!" Elaenor Wood closed the fan and patted the man, "Hurry up."
"Alright!"
The man steeled his heart and decided to take a risk.
Maybe turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Introducing such a powerful warrior was definitely an achievement.
"You follow me!"
It's said the bigger the audacity, the greater the harvest.
This Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance guard led Elaenor Wood, crossing countless steps.
Finally arriving in front of a glorious building.
"I had only heard of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance's luxury before." Elaenor Wood looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, "Seeing it with my own eyes now, I realize how poverty limits my imagination."
He took a step forward, gazing at the door crafted from pure gold!
And the pattern carved from white jade!
On the door, there are countless luminous pearls!
Even beneath his feet, there are dozens of luminous pearls the size of human heads!
Glittering!
In the early dawn, the darkness fades.
The light from these luminous pearls is especially dazzling!
"Sigh." Remembering his own worn-out Medicine King Valley, Elaenor Wood was filled with envy.
How much would this cost?
But since it's the main hall of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, the front of the entire organization, it's understandable for it to be lavish.
Though this still far exceeded Elaenor Wood's imagination.
He reached out to touch the door.
Smooth!
Delicate!
Clearly, there's something else on the surface of this gold.
Elaenor Wood took a closer look!
Pearl powder!
All of it is top-quality pearls, even just one would be immensely valuable, yet they were ground into powder!
Such waste!
Gazing at the luminous pearls beneath his feet, Elaenor Wood finally realized that the floor tiles he stood on were actually jade stones produced massively in the Boulevard Mountains, Boulevard jade.
The world's finest jade!
Boulevard jade emits a cooling aura, making one feel very refreshed.
Between the two doors, there's a huge disk!
Upon close inspection, it turns out the disk is studded with diamonds.
Isn't this afraid of being a prickling hazard?
Do these people have hands made of iron?
Suddenly, Elaenor Wood figured it out.
The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance's main hall must intend to give visitors a shock.
These prickling diamonds are to remind outsiders to recognize their own place and to endure pain and hardship.
"Do you want to enter?" the man said beside him.
"Of course!"
Elaenor Wood took a deep breath, preparing to stretch out his hand to push the door open!
Though martial artists have strong bodies, it would surely hurt.
But just as he gathered his strength and was about to push the door!
The door opened on its own!
Elaenor Wood turned back.
"Sir, it's an electric door." The man pressed a pearl, and the door slowly opened.
"Of course, I knew it was an electric door." Elaenor Wood smiled awkwardly.
Lack of experience.
No wonder the Holy Master always said it's cumbersome to live in the countryside and go out.
These towering steps, combined with the magnificent palace, indeed required a long walk.
The door only just opened!
Elaenor Wood immediately covered his eyes with his hand.
Inside is resplendent and dazzling!
The ceiling of the hall is densely covered with diamonds the size of eggs, countless luminous pearls mixed in, colorful and dazzling!
The floor, the white jade tiles sparkle with light.
"As expected of the main hall of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, just entering, the ambience already shook me." Elaenor Wood sighed silently, apart from extravagance, he couldn't think of anything else about this environment.
Suddenly.
Elaenor Wood turned sideways, looking at a glittering object by the door.
He gently picked it up with his hand.
The thing actually bent!
Like paper!
But looking at it, it's clearly countless diamonds!
"What is this?" Elaenor Wood asked, somewhat awkwardly.
Curiosity made him unable to resist asking.
"Paper," the man patiently explained.
"Paper? Why is it so shiny?" Elaenor Wood gently touched it with his hand, although a bit sharp, it was relatively smooth.
"This is paper made by mixing diamonds with some pearls and other materials," the man tirelessly responded.
"This must be what the Holy Master uses to write orders. It's good, but too expensive. But such paper surely underscores the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance's authority."
Elaenor Wood felt that his life had been in vain.
In terms of enjoyment, he was not even a ten-thousandth as good as the Holy Master.
As he moved further inside, the hall divided into two paths.
One to the left, one to the right.
The left depicted a warrior holding a sharp blade!
The right depicted a woman sitting before a dressing mirror, arranging her makeup.
"I suppose these are the separate places for civilian and military officials to attend court. The left for military officers, the right for civil officials." Elaenor Wood chuckled, murmuring to himself, "Interesting."
Looking around, he decided to take the path for civil officials.
For no reason other than that the woman's image looked quite nice, somewhat resembling Eliezer Pine.
Elaenor Wood took a deep breath, preparing his words, while standing before the mirror to tidy his appearance, he stepped forward.
Even though the ambience of the hall was intimidating, making him a bit suppressed, Elaenor Wood could not lose in momentum!
He wanted to see how this hall was inside!
But as soon as he took a step, the man stopped him.
"What's the meaning of this?" Elaenor Wood furrowed his brow slightly.
"This is the men's restroom, why are you going to the women's restroom? Also, if you like this toilet paper, we have plenty in the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, no need to tear a piece to keep in your pocket," the man said a bit awkwardly.
