The so-called quarterly review was nothing more than a job report. Then, he would listen to the experience of his predecessors, inquire about the recent development trends and problems.

This was one of the jobs that Ivan hated the most. It was tedious and boring, and it was all about cooking.

What really interested Ivan was the modern world. According to the computer research, it was a completely different place from Ivan's world.

A place with advanced technology and full of peace.

"Then, I'm going."

On the day of departure, Ivan didn't arrange any missions for the swords at home. He let them and the new swords relax at home and familiarize themselves with the internal work.

"Master, please be careful on the road."

Just as he was about to step on the teleportation array, Yiqi Yizhen suddenly thought of something and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Master, it's better to bring this."

"What is this?"

"It's a protective paper. Many inquisitors don't want to reveal their true appearance. It can also conceal a certain amount of spiritual power."

Conceal spiritual power!

This was a good thing!

Didn't they always say that his spiritual power leaked out very seriously!

Ivan was very happy to put on the Talisman, and at the same time, he glared at Kitsunosuke who never told him any useful information.

Stepping into the teleportation array, a white light flashed in front of his eyes. What entered his sight was a tall and majestic building. Ivan, who had been staying in the ancient Honmaru, suddenly felt a big contrast.

"Lord Inquisitor, this way please."

He followed Fox's Assistance into the building, registered at the front desk, and then took the number plate into the hall.

The hall of the Government of the Hour was like a space with no upper limit. It looked full of people, but it could constantly accommodate more people.

"So many people."

Yi Fan felt a headache coming on. When he thought of the fact that this review happened four times a year, Yi Fan really wanted to resign right now.

Looking at the countdown on the stage, it was 55: 48. Ivan glared at Fox's Assistance who lied about the time. He casually found a seat and sat down, exuding a strong cold aura, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Fox's Assistance began to panic. He had purposely said it an hour earlier so that his inquisitor could interact with more people here, build connections, and be promoted by the seniors.

He did not expect this person to be so good. He gave off a cold aura and managed to carve out an empty space with a diameter of one meter in this crowded place.

Fox's Assistance was on the verge of tears. He kept looking around, but no one dared to talk to Ivan.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?"

The anxious Fox's Assistance was one step ahead of Ivan. He hurriedly said, "Of course!"

Ivan couldn't help but poke Fox's Assistance. He took the opportunity to size up the newcomer. He wasn't tall, and there was a strand of ahoge in his purple hair. He was wearing a mask, so Ivan couldn't see his face. Judging from his voice, he should be quite young.

"Please." Ivan gestured indifferently.

"Ah, there are so many people every year. It's so unbearable."

The person sat beside Ivan and sighed softly. "I didn't expect to find a quiet place this year."

Ivan couldn't help but glance at him. It seemed that this guy was using his place as a refuge.

"How long will it take before it ends?"

The person said in surprise, "So you're a newcomer?

Haha, I didn't even notice. "

Ivan was quite proud. Of course, he hadn't learned the skill of showing off for nothing.

"According to the usual practice, it will end around four or five in the afternoon."

Ivan counted with his fingers. There were still six hours left. He groaned in pain and slumped in his seat like a deflated balloon.

"Hahaha." Ivan's honest appearance made the person laugh. "I'm Violet Orchid. What about you?"

"Ivan."

"Do you hate this kind of place?"

Seeing Ivan nod, Violet Orchid chuckled. "Actually, me too. Especially since I've been very busy recently."

Violet Orchid's Fox's Assistance yawned on his knees. "Isn't that so? It's all because of that newcomer, Motomaru, who reported the Dark Descent incident."

"Ah?" Ivan was stunned. He scratched his head. "Then I'm really sorry."

Violet Orchid was also stunned. "Could that newcomer Motomaru be … Hahaha, that's really surprising. So you're the newcomer who's been so highly anticipated."

Ivan felt that the words "highly anticipated" were completely unnecessary.

Violet Orchid suddenly had a strong interest in Ivan and asked a lot of questions.

"So you've only been in office for a little over a month. Then there should be a lot you don't know."

Violet Orchid took out her phone. "How about it? Do you want to add me as a friend? We can have a good chat in private. After all, the sword-wielding man has restrictions. They don't know many rules that only the Inquisitors know."

Violet Orchid waited for a while, but Ivan didn't move. Feeling a little awkward, she said, "Well, it's okay if you don't want to."

"No, I just realized that I don't have a phone."

Violet Orchid was stunned for a while. Fox's Assistance realized that it had miscalculated. It actually forgot to prepare a phone!

Ivan: Fox's Assistance, what use do you have?

"Then tell me your Motomaru's serial number. I'll send you an email after I reply to your Motomaru."

Ivan lowered his head and glanced at Fox's Assistance. Fox's Assistance quivered and hurriedly reported a string of numbers. Violet Orchid's Fox's Assistance immediately recorded it.

Ivan sighed. Look at how good Fox's Assistance was at doing things.

"Can Fox's Assistance apply for a change?" Ivan asked in a serious tone.

Fox's Assistance immediately cried and clawed at Ivan's chest. "My lord, you can't abandon me after you're done with me!"

"Shut up." Ivan's face was stiff. Why did he feel like Fox's Assistance was talking to him like a plucker?

Panpalna Four.

Violet Orchid laughed again. "Hahaha, you're really interesting. After Motomaru's rank increases, the government will send more Fox's Assistance to assist me. Of course, you can apply for a change."

Fox's Assistance's eyes were filled with tears.

"I'm just kidding." Ivan couldn't stand such an expression. He sighed and admitted defeat.

Fox's Assistance wiped its tears. As usual, it didn't look like it was serious when it was joking.

Was this the so-called "accompanying a king is tantamount to accompanying a tiger"?

There was still one minute left on the countdown. The noisy hall gradually quieted down. Everyone found a seat and sat down. Ivan continued to emit cold air. Other than Violet Orchid, no one dared to approach him.

Ivan impatiently tapped the armrest of his chair with his index finger. He didn't know why, but he felt a little anxious.

"What's wrong?" Violet Orchid also noticed Ivan's abnormality.

"I feel like something's going to happen."

Ivan fidgeted in his chair. The battle instinct in his body seemed to have smelled something and was itching for action.

"Something's going to happen."

Every time Ivan entered a dungeon or leveled up in the dungeon, goosebumps would rise all over his body. He felt a little excited. His eyes lit up as he stared at the stage.

Violet Orchid was slightly stunned. Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she jumped up and shouted, "Everyone, be careful!

Retrograde March is coming! "

Everyone was stunned by this sound. The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.

At this moment, the space on the stage suddenly distorted. A large number of Retrograde March rushed out from the torn space.

Retrograde March didn't give anyone time to react. They rushed into the crowd and waved their weapons.

The people in the front row suffered heavy casualties. The thick smell of blood filled the entire hall.

The blood-curdling screams woke everyone up, and the piercing screams hurt their eardrums. The hall was suddenly in a mess, and everyone scrambled to escape to the exit.

There were too many people. Those who were close to the exit were lucky enough to escape. Those who were far away were either killed by Retrograde March or trampled to death by the panicked crowd.

Violet Orchid reacted quickly. She took out dozens of talismans from her pocket. She chanted a few words and threw the talismans at the Retrograde March.

Ivan was impressed by Violet Orchid. He didn't expect her to choose to fight.

Because of Violet Orchid's action, some people realized that they could use their spiritual power to resist. They took out talismans and opened a barrier.

Although they had the ability to open a barrier, they suffered from a lack of attack power and no actual combat experience, so they were unable to give a fatal blow to the Tracing Army. The consumption of spiritual power to resist gradually made them feel exhausted. Seeing that they could not hold on any longer, they closed their eyes in despair.

"So this is Retrograde March."

"Hurry up and run. I can still hold on for a while." Violet Orchid supported the barrier and shouted at Ivan.

The accident happened too suddenly. Even if he sent the man with the sword, he wouldn't be able to make it in time due to the restrictions.

He didn't know how long he could hold on, but he would try his best to hold on so that more people could survive.

"Run?

I, Ivan, don't have this word in my dictionary. "

Ivan revealed an excited smile and took out a cross. "I haven't fought in a long time. Oh no, I'm trembling with excitement.

Then let me see how capable the so-called Retrograde March is. "

Violet Orchid looked at Ivan in shock. His casual clothes had changed into a shiny soft armor and he was holding a cold cross in his hand. But where did these things come from?!

Violet Orchid was even more shocked.

The cross exploded with a dazzling light. A huge sphere condensed from spiritual power fell to the ground and exploded. Retrograde March, which had a diameter of five meters, was blown to smithereens.

"Hehehehehe."

The creepy laughter made Ziyuan's back go numb. She inadvertently saw that because of the wind, the face that was not inferior to the most beautiful blade, Mikazuki Munechika, had a twisted smile because of the excitement of the battle.

Violet Orchid felt that the smile was familiar. She seemed to have seen it on the man with the sword. Who was it?

"Star of Explosion."

The spiritual power spheres fell one after another. Seeing that they were going to affect the people around them, Violet Orchid could only do her best to open up the barrier.

The attacks that fell on the barrier were very heavy. Violet Orchid's forehead was sweating profusely. She forced a smile. "What a violent guy."

Ivan looked at Violet Orchid strangely. His attacks wouldn't affect innocent people. What was this guy doing?

But forget it.

Retrograde March was suppressed. The people sent by the government arrived late.

With the government's intervention, the space-time rift was blocked. Not long after, the sudden change finally stopped. Other than Ivan, Violet Orchid, and a dozen people who were helping Violet Orchid to open up the barrier, there were only a few dozen people sent by the government.

The ground was dyed red. Broken limbs were everywhere. The people in the Modern World who had never seen such a bloody scene were pale. They couldn't help but vomit.

"Ah, it's over." Ivan felt a little regretful. He had just gotten into the zone when he was interrupted.

"You …" Violet Orchid shook her head and sighed with a pale face.

He didn't know where this person came from, but he seemed to be very used to fighting. When he heard that someone could dispel the Dark Descent, he wasn't that surprised. After all, if something existed, there would definitely be something corresponding to it to maintain the balance.

So, for Ivan, Violet Orchid had only labeled him as a "newbie worth looking forward to."

But now, it seemed that he might be an indispensable key to changing the current situation.
