“Hey, what’s with that look? don’t worry, I’ll pay you.”
Prince Lieyang noticed the strange look in Lin Ge’s eyes and thought that he wanted money. He took out a gem that was even bigger than the day before from his money bag, his expression haughty.
“Here.”
“Take a good look at what you’re holding in your hand.”
“It’s a supreme ruby mined from the depths of the Nox Mine, of course… Why did it turn into stone?!”
Prince Lieyang was shocked to find that he was holding a gray stone in his hand. Its shape was exactly the same as a gemstone, but it had completely lost the crystal-clearness of gemstones and was no different from a stone.
Not only that, but the golden armor on him had also lost its luster and turned grayish-white. The gold-inlaid Galma scimitar at his waist had turned into a dried salted fish.
Lin Ge took out Lanya’s money bag from his pocket and opened it. The frog inside had turned back into a mobile phone.
He took out his phone and explained the situation to Prince Lieyang, reciting what Neelu had told him.
“The rejection reaction of another world?”
“That’s right,” Lin Ge looked at Prince Lieyang in surprise, “It’s not just the things on you that are changing. Even your body is changing. Don’t you feel it?”
Upon hearing this, Prince Lieyang touched his face and found that his smooth and shiny scales had disappeared. What he felt was smooth skin. Then he touched his head and found that the spikes that he was so proud of had also disappeared.
He turned his head again to find that his thick, powerful, noble, and elegant tail was also gone. He couldn’t help but call out, “What have I become?”
Lin Ge examined Prince Lieyang. His face had become similar to that of an ordinary human, and he looked very young, even younger than himself. The only abnormalities were his eyes and his skin color, which was slightly darker and closer to red.
If one didn’t look closely, he could be considered an ordinary bald teenager, and even quite handsome.
“You’ve become more human. That’s a good thing. This way, even if you stay here, it won’t cause panic.”
“My original appearance will cause panic here?”
Prince Lieyang was a little displeased with what Lin Ge said. He was famously handsome in the Galma Empire. Every time he went out, he would only attract the screams of young ladies, not panic.
“Yes, there aren’t that many strange intelligent races in this world, only humans.”
It had to be said that Prince Lieyang had a strong mental capacity. He quickly calmed down and looked around at the tall buildings.
“The world here seems interesting. Take me around.”
Lin Ge shook his head, “It’s late at night. If you wander around the streets, you might be questioned by the police. Besides, you’re dressed so strangely now. If anyone sees you, they’ll think you’re a weirdo. You should go to my place to change first.”
“The police?”
“The public servant who maintains the law and order here.”
“Who are they working for? Who’s the king here?”
“I’ll explain it to you when I have time.”
“Alright, then take me to your place to take a look.”
As Lin Ge led Prince Lieyang to his residence, he explained to the latter the differences between the two worlds.
When the two walked past an alley, a woman’s cry for help came from the dark alley.
Before he could react, Prince Lieyang had already pulled out the Galma “dried fish” scimitar from his waist and rushed in.
Unexpectedly, that guy was quite chivalrous. But would he be okay by himself?
He recalled the weakness that Lanya showed after using magic yesterday. He wondered if the strength of Prince Lieyang, who looked more like a warrior, would also be affected by the world.
When he walked into the alley, Prince Lieyang was already confronting several hooligans.
There were a total of three people on the other side, and their forward style was very much like that of a gangster. One of them was holding a girl’s hand. The girl was quite beautiful. Walking alone at night, it was no wonder that she was targeted.
“Let go of that beautiful girl.”
Prince Lieyang held the dried fish in his hand, with the shriveled fish head aimed at the three gangsters, like a lone swordsman.
The other party laughed.
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter. Where did this idiot come from, pretending to be a hero with a salted fish? Xiao Liang, teach him a lesson.”
A hooligan came forward with a shiny knife in his hand, his expression fierce.
“Look, this is the real thing. If you don’t want to get stabbed, then get lost.”
Just as Lin Ge secretly took out his phone and was about to call the police, Prince Lieyang moved.
He rushed forward at an incredible speed and swung his scimitar, uh, no, he swung the fish. The dried fish head hit the wrist of Xiao Liang that was holding the knife. With a cry of pain, the knife fell to the ground.
Xiao Liang covered his wrist. Before he could do anything, the shriveled dead fish head had already hit his face.
Pa!
The fish scimitar left a clear red mark on his face, and blood and tears flowed out of his nose.
The other two gangsters came forward to help. They took out nunchucks and brass knuckles, but they were both mercilessly beaten by a dried fish. They dropped their weapons and fled in a sorry state.
Prince Lieyang put away the fish scimitar and walked slowly toward the stunned girl, trapping her against the wall in the corner.
“Beautiful lady, do you want to be my consort?”
The girl was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly pushed him away with all her might and ran in the other direction. Her speed was faster than the hooligans.
“Why?” Prince Lieyang was puzzled.
“It’s the middle of the night,” Lin Ge explained, “A red-faced bald man in strange clothes waving a dried fish said those words with unknown meaning to her. Even if you saved her, she probably thinks you’re a pervert or a lunatic.”
“The women in your world are really strange,” Prince Lieyang shrugged.
He was the one who was strange, no? Who asks others if they want to be their princess consort as soon as they meet? It wasn’t like he was the Arabian oil prince…
Of course, Lin Ge did not say this out loud.
Prince Lieyang picked up the nunchucks that one of the gangsters had left behind. After playing with it for a while, he laughed and said, “This is quite interesting.”
Then, he took it as his spoils of war and put it on his belt.
Lin Ge recalled his performance when he beat up the gangsters and said with surprise, “I didn’t expect you to be so powerful in this world.”
Prince Lieyang shook his head and said regretfully, “No, my strength has dropped a lot. If I still had my original strength, even if my weapon had been a fish, their heads would have exploded. I only used my skills just now to beat them.”
Lin Ge felt lucky that the other party’s strength had decreased. Otherwise, if he had really blown up the heads of those hooligans, the girl might have been traumatized.
More importantly, those were human lives. If Prince Lieyang really smashed their heads, it would definitely attract the police’s investigation. It would be bad if they placed their suspicions on him.
However, this also meant that physical strength, like magic, would be limited by the world here. Only knowledge and skills would not be affected.
In that case, it would be feasible to lure Karina into this world and teach her a lesson.
He led the Prince back to his apartment. When they took the elevator, the Prince was as surprised as Lanya.
“The mechanism of this room is interesting. After I ascend to the throne, I will build a high-rise building like this in the palace, as well as this mechanism room called the “elevator”.”
Hearing Prince Lieyang’s words, Lin Ge silently prayed for the lizardmen of the Galma Empire, hoping that he would not become a tyrant who wasted money and manpower.
When he led the Prince into the house, his roommate, Gao Wenyang, happened to come out of the toilet. Seeing him bring someone back, he adjusted his glasses.
“Eh? A bald man today?”
