I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 210: THE CHALLENGE

Nera, rather Elos had already seen many people in this world, therefore he could judge that this crown prince named Terzel did not have the slightest trace of disdain towards those who were adventurers.

Though as a member of the royal family, it was not strange if they underestimated the adventurers. More precisely almost all the royal families and nobles underestimated the adventurers as poor people who worked for money, while the adventurers hated the royal family and nobles who underestimated them. So although it was not very visible, there was actually a hidden enmity between adventurers and the royal family alongside the nobles.

Since the crown prince was being courteous then Nera had to reply to him, he slightly bowed before saying "The crown prince has absolutely no need to bother to greet us in front of the gate, it's been an honor to meet the crown prince in person".

Nera had absolutely no need to kneel against the crown prince, after all he was an adventurer and not an imperial warrior. Not to mention Nera was Fjorten Elos, as the leader of the Federation Master Labyrinth which now then he did not need to kneel against the crown prince of the empire.

The face of Folk standing behind the crown prince turned grim, according to him the actions of these adventurers were disrespectful towards the crown prince. For Folk, being able to meet the crown prince was already a great honor for adventurers, then it should have been adventurers kneeling when facing in front of the crown prince.

Folk stepped forward and planned to give Nera a lesson, but the crown prince who was in front could find Folk's actions so he raised his hand to stop Folk's actions.

Seeing the crown prince stopping himself, Folk was shocked. He looked at the crown prince puzzledly, he did not understand why the crown prince stopped himself from giving these adventurers a lesson about being polite to the crown prince.

The crown prince certainly also found Folk's confused gaze, he shook his head and felt that this Folk was very stupid. If he infuriated Nera and the others so as not to help them defeat the Emperor, then it was a great loss, therefore he planned to remind Folk.

But Nera on the other hand had already found Folk's hatred for them, a mocking smile appeared on Nera's face "Crown prince, it seems we are not welcome here. Although the crown prince welcomed us very kindly, your followers seem to disagree with us".

The crown prince tried to explain for Nera to suppress her anger "My friend Nera, this is a misunderstanding, Folk does have a face that always looks angry-".

Before the crown prince could finish his words, Folk had already stepped forward and appointed Nera "I am indeed unhappy with you, it should be a great honor for poor adventurers like you to be able to meet the crown prince. So I suggest you kneel down to the crown prince immediately, if you are still arrogant then my sword will make your head fly".

"Very interesting", before Nera could say anything then Lasha who was behind Nera had already stepped forward to stand in front of Folk with a cold face "Didn't you feel yourself very strong? You don't have to fight Nera, even against me, then you're definitely losing".

Folk looked at Lasha with disdain for "A little woman like you thinks she can beat me? Dream on! You're not my opponent, don't think I'll hesitate to fight you just because you're a woman! Let me tell you, I've been at war for almost 100 years, therefore don't think that I'm being hesitant to attack you just because you're a woman!".

Folk and Lasha were staring at each other coldly, Folk as an ancient human was 2.5 meters tall while Lasha was only 1.7 meters tall, so Lasha looked much smaller than Folk.

But Nera knows that one's height does not determine who is stronger, so long as Folk and Lasha fight then Nera is fully confident Lasha will win.

The crown prince found that things were getting worse, he stepped forward to stop this hostility.

The crown prince looked at Kulen in a daze, he did not understand why Kulen had suddenly stopped him from trying to settle this feud before it became bad.

Kulen shook her head "Master, this might be a good opportunity! However Folk is always very stubborn and act recklessly, if this woman named Lasha defeats him then Folk's arrogance must be hit, at least he can further suppress his irritability".

The crown prince was surprised by Kulen's words "You think that woman can defeat Folk who is my father's trusted left general? Kulen, you're not tricking me, are you?".

"I know master must be in disbelief", said Kulen smiling confidently "But if master had already seen their strength directly like mine, master would have realized how terrifying the strength of these 3 people was".

Without waiting for the crown prince's reply again, Kulen stepped forward "My friend Nera, it seems like Folk does not believe in your strength. In that case, why don't Kulen and Lasha fight each other to determine who is stronger".

"Why should I do that?", Nera said, rejecting "It's just wasting our time and energy, without any benefit".

A smile appeared on Kulen's face, she knew what to give Nera for her to agree.

Kulen threw a sizable bag, the sound of coins through it.

Nera opened the bag to find that there were a lot of coins there, he picked up a black coin before saying hesitantly "Black gold coins?".

A black gold coin was equivalent to 100 gold coins, while 1 gold coin was equal to 10 silver coins. 1 Silver coin was enough for a family of 3 to eat and drink for a month, although it could not live luxuriously but at least they would not starve. Hence, this black gold coin was worth a lot of money, not to mention here it seemed like there were hundreds of black gold coins.

Looking at Nera's surprised face, Kulen smiled wider and wider "In that pocket there are 1000 black gold coins, as long as Miss Lasha wins then you can take the coins. If Miss Lasha loses, then the coins must be returned and you will not have to pay anything. How is it, my friend Nera?".

Kulen was confident that Nera would not refuse, after all this was a no-loss challenge. If Lasha wins then they get the money, but if they lose then they do not suffer any losses, only fools who reject such a lucrative challenge.

But what surprised Kulen was that Nera did not immediately agree, but instead stared at Lasha "What do you think? Do we have to accept this challenge?".

Lasha smiled confidently "Nera, accept the challenge! I will give this ancient man a proper lesson today, besides he will have to pay 1000 black gold coins as the cost of the lesson I gave".

"Then it's decided" said Nera who immediately kept the bag of black gold coins "We agreed to fight against Folk!".
