With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The two girls at the table were shocked to see this man suddenly appearing in their room.

Both of them jumped out of their chairs and were about to scream, but Lin Fan's hands quickly came forward to cover their mouths.

Seeing that this man was covering their months, both of their eyes suddenly changed and they pulled out the daggers that they had been hiding at their waists. Without any hesitation, they were prepared to stab these daggers at the neck of the man in front of them.

However, before they could stab him, the two girls suddenly saw his face with the dim light of the candle and they immediately stopped all their actions.

After looking at him in shock for a few seconds, they both suddenly took back their daggers and fell to one knee. As they fell to one knee, Lin Fan's hands no longer covered their mouths so they were free to speak.

"Young master!" Both of them said at the same time.

Lin Fan was surprised by how loud they were and quickly raised his hand to give a gesture for them to be quiet.

The two of them realized their mistake and quickly covered their mouths as well, as they waited in silence for any reaction to their words.

But there was no one around that said a single thing.

After waiting for a minute and seeing that nothing happened, the two girls let go of their mouths and let out a sigh of relief.

Lin Fan also wanted to let out a sigh of relief, but since he had to keep his reputation as the young master, he could only give a silent sigh of relief deep down.

Once they were sure that no one else was listening, the girls lowered their voices and asked, "Young master, where did you come from?"

Lin Fan just shook his head and said, "Don't mind that now. Tell me what the situation is."

There was a flash of disappointment that appeared in the eyes of these girls, but that was quickly replaced with looks of awe.

When they had received their training, the idea that Lin Fan was omnipotent was firmly nailed into their minds by Yue Lan. So even if they didn't have any idea how Lin Fan had snuck into their room like this, they were still filled with respect for him.

As for the implications of him showing up unannounced in their room, they didn't care about it at all.

That was because the training that Yue Lan gave them…had serving him with their bodies as a foundation…

Not to mention that Lin Fan was very handsome to begin with. It was a kind of handsomeness that was hard for young girls like these two to resist, so they had completely fallen for his looks.

After being in a daze for a few seconds from looking at his face, the girls finally told Lin Fan the situation of this village.

As he listened to them, he couldn't help slightly knitting his brows.

It seemed that the situation was much worse than he had expected.

The Mercenary Guild had completely trapped the people of this village inside the confines of the village.

The reason that they gave was that there was a dangerous spirit beast wandering this area, so they had to seal up the area to prevent it from hurting the villagers. But the more important thing was to lock up the area so that the spirit beast couldn't escape and make their way into Brilliant Light City.

At the same time, they also made sure that the villagers had everything that they needed. They gave them food and clothing, as well as anything else that the village chief requested.

They didn't even let these villagers go to their fields to farm since they said that it was too dangerous to be wandering around.

But if one thought about it carefully, it all seemed very strange.

After all, if there really was this kind of dangerous spirit beast wandering around, shouldn't it be the city guards that came to deal with it. Even if the Mercenary Guild did get involved, there would still be members of the city guards that came with them.

But the Mercenary Guild had come alone this time…

The way that they acted was almost as if they were trying to deliberately keep the villagers inside the village, as if they were planning something with them.

Lin Fan didn't know what they were planning, but he wasn't going to let things go as they planned.

For now, the first thing that he had to do was get these two girls out of the village. There was the chance that the Mercenary Guild would try something while he was taking care of the problem, so he wanted to get them to a safe place before he did anything.

There was also the chance that the Mercenary Guild would do something to the village's people while he was gone, but he had already accepted that he couldn't save everyone. After what had happened a few days ago, he knew that there were people that he couldn't save.

So he was already operating under the assumption that these people could be abandoned if need came to be.

As for his plan, it was very simple.

He would be using the same illusion magic as before.

It wasn't as if the illusion magic only applied to him. With his control of magic power, he was able to control enough magic power to cover all three of them.

If he went all out, it was possible for him to cover more than ten people with this illusion magic, but doing so would make him exhaust his magic power very quickly.

This was the other downside of the Magic Manipulation Skill. There wasn't a set formula that would help him control the magic power that he used for each spell, so he had to manually control the magic power to simulate the spells.

That took a lot of practice, concentration, and magic power.

So there was a limit to how much magic power he could use which also made his spells much weaker than spells that were used with formulas.

The one advantage that he had were the max level Pain Tolerance and Mental Fortitude Skills which allowed him to push beyond what normal people could do with this Magic Manipulation Skill.

After casting the illusion spell, he led the two girls out of the inn and out of the village.

While the girls were filled with confidence in Lin Fan, they were still worried about just walking out of the inn like nothing was happening. But they quickly learned that Lin Fan's illusion spell was very effective and they were able to make their way out of the village and through the line of Mercenary Guild guards.

After they had traveled a ways away from the village, Lin Fan brought the girls to the blockade of the Mercenary Guild.

He couldn't leave them here since it wasn't safe for them, so he decided to send them back to Brilliant Light City before doing anything else.

He brought them back to the same place that he had entered the blockade from and using the flight spell, he carried them over the ravine and dropped them down on the path back to Brilliant Light City.

Before they left, both of them looked at him with worried looks and said in hesitant voices, "Young master…"

Lin Fan raised his hand to cut them off as he knew what they were going to say, but he knew that he still had to do this. So instead, he said, "Just trust in me and I'll handle this. All you have to do is wait in the city."

The girls were still worried when hearing this, but since Lin Fan had given the order, they had no choice but to follow it.

With how far they were from the city, they would be able to make it by morning if they ran all night. They were planning on getting to the city by morning and reporting to Ouyang Qian to have her send someone to help Lin Fan.

But that idea was also shut down by Lin Fan who told them, "Report to manager Ouyang, but tell her not to send any reinforcements after me. I will take care of this myself."

The girls once again revealed worried looks, but seeing the firm look on Lin Fan's face, they could only nod in agreement.

Once the girls had headed off, Lin Fan used the flight spell to cross over the cliff again. However, this time he didn't head back to the village. Instead, he headed off to a completely different direction, leading to a place that was far away from the village.

This place was still inside of the blockade of the Mercenary Guild.

The blockade that they had set up was actually a strange shape. Instead of being a circle that was centered around the village, it was an oval that almost barely included the village inside of it.

Instead, it was centered around a mountain which had another line of guards around it.

This was the place that was reported to be the home of the beast, which was why most of the guards had been sent there. After all, the official report that they gave was that they were blockading this village to protect them from the dangerous beast that had settled nearby.

Since that was where the dangerous beast was, that was where Lin Fan was heading to investigate.

He was certain that location was the key in their plans.
