Chapter 2444 Rat in the Gutter

Game time PM19:27

Onik City, Central Administrative District, the third-floor terrace of the former city lord's residence

"I'm sorry, both of you. I spent a little more time explaining the situation to my compatriots, so I only had time to sort it out briefly here."

Standing on the spotless white agate floor that had just been re-arranged a few hours ago, Liv Astol bowed to the man and woman in front of him apologetically, and said softly in his comfortable and attractive voice: "Please be patient. I promise to make this place comfortable and livable as quickly as possible, and turn it into a palace where you two can rest in peace."

The dark elf girl with delicate appearance and cool temperament glanced at him calmly, and then moved her eyes to the flower tower around her, which had obviously been carefully maintained. Not only did it perfectly match the architectural style here, but it also decorated the originally overly luxurious scenery with elegance and elegance. Even the color matching could echo the dark clouds above. She asked casually, "So, are you taking credit for your taste and action?"

"Don't dare."

Li Fu immediately smiled humbly and said softly, "Although I am honored to receive your recognition, in my opinion, if we want this mansion to be worthy of you two, this level of care is far from enough."

Ji Xiaodao snorted without comment, then slowly walked to the edge of the terrace, leaned on the black jade railing which was obviously not original, and watched the night view.

Of course, speaking of night views, apart from the lights in the administrative district which were indeed pleasing to the eye, there was actually nothing good to see as far as the girl could see. After all, the people who originally lived here were generally rich, powerful, and influential, but half of them had already fled and most had died when the city was broken, so that although this area was brightly lit, it was also deserted enough, even lifeless.

In comparison, Ji Xiaodao himself is more like a landscape.

Because her commonly used equipment was sent to the workshop for processing and upgrading, the dark elf girl at this moment was not wearing her 'common clothes' that looked very capable of fighting. Instead, she changed into a black dress that was not as complicated and gorgeous as when she was acting as the 'companion of the Lord of Sin', but still exquisite enough.

Not only that, her waist-length silver hair that was as bright as moonlight was also tied up by her, into a neat and cool high ponytail. The swords [Ye Yu] and [Ji Gui] that she almost never left during the time in [Avalon] fortress were also no longer at her waist. Only the rapier [Qing], which was more decorative than practical, was still in the sheath behind her back, but it did not seem abrupt at all, but instead added a perfect aura of solemnity to this dark elf who already had a cold temperament.

In the corner of her sight, there stood quietly a person who was not very tall. She was wearing a dress as dark as ink, and the upper half of her face was hidden behind a mask like a ball masque. Although there was no light in her eyes, they were not dull either. Looking closely, it was so captivating that one would fall into the abyss.

"My time is limited, Astor."

The Sin King calmly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with his eyes lowered, and said without any emotion as usual: "Let's talk about your friends first. Although I am not very interested in what those shady rats are planning, since you specifically mentioned them, I will briefly talk about them."

Li Fu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and said seriously: "I have contacted a few compatriots who have a lot of say among us so-called 'remnants'. They are willing to provide services for you, but have no intention of accepting your protection for the time being, so..."

"They don't trust the villain you mentioned, but because of the habits they developed in the gutter, they don't want to miss any possibility. Even if it's just a clown who is not worth mentioning in the eyes of those ghosts who claim to be noble, and who can only use some petty tricks that are not worthy of being mentioned, to seek power and usurp the country and spread rumors, they are willing to condescend to make friends with him."

The Sin King interrupted Li Fo's statement, with a hint of sneer in his eyes: "So they probably just let you act as a representative to make a tiny 'investment' in me? Of course, in the eyes of your compatriots who think highly of themselves, even a little bit of resources is probably enough to make me grateful."

"..."

Li Fo clenched his fists with a pale face. After a long silence, he suddenly knelt on one knee and said to the young man in front of him in a deep voice: "I am very sorry, King. I didn't expect... I didn't expect those fools to still live in the ridiculous glory of the past. They are self-righteous and make a fool of themselves. Please punish them."

"You're not like those people, Astor."

The Sin King did not look down at Li Fo who was kneeling on the ground, nor did he ask him to stand up. He just said calmly: "Even before you met me, you were different from those people. After all, a long time ago, you endured humiliation and sneaked into the destroyer of your stupid dynasty, that is, the Tianzhu Mountain that seems unfathomable to outsiders. Since then, you and your compatriots have been unable to understand each other."

Li Fu lowered his head and listened politely to what the other party said, with no intention of interrupting at all. His eyes were serious and focused, and his expression was focused and serious.

"The scenery you see is completely different. Those people who only have the so-called 'glorious past' in your eyes are just ghosts living in illusions. In addition to being a ghost, you are also the agent of Tianzhu Mountain, and now you have become my butler."

The Sin King slowly walked past Li Fo, stood in front of the railing and looked up at the leaden sky, and said casually: "So, although you still maintain the loyalty engraved in your bones, although you are willing to give everything for those clowns even now, to pursue an illusory dream of restoration, you are no longer a pure dead soul after all, so you will gradually become unable to understand your compatriots, and think that those people are stupid and crazy, and only you are truly sober."

Li Fu stood up and humbly bowed to the other person's back and said, "You are right, I am the one who is truly sober..."

"Oh, you are not, Astor, you never were."

The King of Sin sneered and said without turning his head, "You are not a sober person, just like those prisoners locked in the mountains. Maybe you see more, farther, more rationally, and more objectively, but in the final analysis, you are not a sober person after all."

Li Fo's face froze, and he immediately shook his head and said, "I know very well that the king's power is far beyond the reach of those people in Tianzhu Mountain, and I also know that refusing your 'blessing' is an unforgivable act of stupidity, but I..."

"you misunderstood."

The Sin King shook his head and said calmly: "As long as you are not assimilated by those compatriots in the gutter, as long as you are not blinded by the so-called mission of Tianzhu Mountain, then being 'unconscious' is not a bad thing."

Li Fu showed a somewhat stunned expression. He finally lost the rhythm for the first time in this conversation and was unable to keep up with the other party in the topic.

The Sin King didn't care about it, and just said casually: "Don't forget, you are not just your compatriot. In my opinion, your most important identity is also the [Agent of Tianzhu Mountain]. If you want to maintain this identity, you must hide your other two sides, such as the identity of Abel's soul, and the eyes that have looked directly into my eyes."

"You're right."

Knowing that if he accepted the "blessing", it would be impossible to hide it from Tianzhu Mountain, and it would definitely bring great trouble to the king, Li Fo nodded slightly, and then asked: "Then how do you plan to reject my short-sighted compatriots?"

"I will not refuse any 'investment', and I have never thought of distancing myself from those rats, Astor."

The Sin King turned his head and looked at Li Fo. His eyes, like the abyss, met the latter's gaze, calm, solemn and without any ripples. "On the contrary, I don't mind whether they help me with awe or not, and I don't mind their lack of respect for me. After all, the existence of such things is a false proposition in itself, and it is meaningless to me."

Although he had never been baptized by original sin, Li Fu, who had been dealing with people who had suffered original sin during this period, immediately accepted this statement and said, "I understand. Then, I will check with Ms. Jia Wen in detail about the 'investment scope' of my compatriots later and make the best use of the resources they are willing to provide."

"Ah."

The Sin King nodded without comment, then impatiently put aside the topic of sewer rats and asked, "Then, tell me about the arrangements at Tianzhu Mountain." "Yes."

Li Fu immediately became serious, stood up straight and reported respectfully: "As for Tianzhu Mountain, William Bohe, who was given the protection, has never had any 'problems'. In addition, based on my follow-up feedback during this period, the Chauvin Empire is no longer within their suspicion range."

The Sin King turned his head to look at the leaden night sky again and said noncommittally: "I see."

"it's not true."

As a result, Li Fu overturned the report himself and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that Tianzhu Mountain has never stopped investigating the Chauvin Empire. Although they have avoided people like William Bohe who I have had in-depth contact with, their secret intelligence gathering work has probably never stopped."

"go on."

"Based on my communication with the Narrator among the high-level observers, I don't think Tianzhu Mountain has suspected anything wrong with me at this stage, but they might consider the possibility that I was deceived by some illusion, just like Bishop Bai was before his death."

"Ah."

"As far as I know, there are actually quite a few agents in Tianzhu Mountain, and they are spread all over the continent. Now, all the agents of the Silver Wing Alliance, Griffin Dynasty, Adolf Free Territory, Dreamland Theocracy, and Chauvin Empire have probably received instructions."

"Ah."

"However, given your foresight, the Chavan Empire, which has now stopped, should not be listed as the top suspect. After all, the death of His Excellency the White King was indeed a brilliant move. Even those high-ranking observers would probably not think there is anything wrong with a father starting a war to avenge his son."

"so?"

"Whether it's the extremely aggressive Dreamland Theocracy or the gloomy and corrupt Griffin Dynasty that directly caused the death of His Excellency the White King, they are more suspicious than us at this moment, so I think that if we let Ms. Gavin..."

"Gawen has her work to do."

The Sin King interrupted Li Fo calmly and said without turning his head: "Compared to her, you and your fellow mortals in the gutter are almost worthless."

Li Fu did not show any dissatisfaction after hearing this, but lowered his head humbly and suggested: "Then, I beg you to allow me to sneak into the Griffin Dynasty and the Dream Theocracy. In the name of independent investigation, I may be able to send Emperor Chiwat Logan and Chief of Staff Lamolock into the field of vision of Tianzhu Mountain and let them help attract attention."

Obviously, Li Fo, who had already clearly realized at this moment that the person in front of him was the biggest threat to Tianzhu Mountain, had no intention of disobeying. Instead, he followed the principle of creating value if there was no value and recommended himself, trying to make himself more "useful".

"Don't try to confuse the Narrator. They don't mind letting you do things, and they don't care about your obviously problematic background. It's simply because they don't care, just like you don't care whether a harmless insect that can be easily crushed is hostile to you."

The Sin King glanced in the opposite direction of Tianzhu Mountain and warned, "But if you mistake this arrogance for stupidity and do unnecessary things on your own initiative, I can guarantee that you won't even live to see the day when Tianzhu Mountain is free to deal with you."

Li Fu immediately bowed his head in fear and trepidation and said, "Yes."

"Go say hello to your compatriots."

The Sin King lowered his eyes and watched two figures, one large and one small, enter the city lord's residence one after another. He said concisely, "Prove your influence among those people and prove that they are qualified to dance with sin."

Li Fu breathed a sigh of relief, then bent down deeply, bowed to the King of Sin, and blended silently into the night.

Until Li Fu's breath completely disappeared, the dark elf girl leaning against the railing cast her eyes on someone and said in her usual cold voice: "You talk a lot today."

"maybe."

Instead of ignoring it as usual, Mo just said this without commenting, and continued to look down at the petite figure jumping around below.

"That child should be the girl named Wenqiu that Arthur mentioned before, who worked with Merlin's assistant named Gaheres."

"Ah."

"That [Evil Plague Overlord] in the ranking list should be of great use to you, right?"

"..."

"But she's just a child, although... not necessarily a good one."

"It doesn't matter."

"Eh?"

"Go tell Dora there's no need to stop them."

"And then what? Let the kid have some fun?"

"what ever."
