Chapter 522 The Northern God II's Experiences and Impressions of Orstid's Strength
"I never expected Alex to be impressed by you, kid. That's quite a surprise."

After the ordeal of blowing up several tiled houses, Allen still managed to have a home-cooked meal with the Second Northern God as planned.

Well, although only Eren, Aisha, the second and third kings of the North God were present.

It's a good balance; each side can bring one family member.

What about the wives of the Northern God II?
She died long ago; no one can withstand the wife-wearing tactics of Bei Er, a husband with immortal demon blood.

"Our home is rather simple, so please make do with this meal. I'll take you out tonight," the Second Prince of the Northern Gods said, munching on his bread and raising his eyebrows with a grin. "Let's go find some fun people. There are lots of beautiful ladies there."

Allen waved his hand: "There's no need for that. I still think my family is quite harmonious."

Aisha's expression had just turned sour, but upon hearing Allen's response, her expression changed, and she nodded in agreement.

The Second King of the North said with great regret, "That's a pity. I originally planned to introduce some princesses from the kingdom to you, but they are all afraid of your appearance now."

As Allen tore bread for Aisha, he said, "We may not have the title of master and disciple, but we are in fact. We haven't seen each other for so long, and you're already trying to help my enemy persuade me as soon as we meet?"

The Second King of the North laughed heartily: "Isn't this because I was afraid you would run away again? I've been in the Kingdom of the Dragon King for so many years, and I don't have many good friends. Chagall is barely one of them. Since he has come to visit me and swallowed his pride to ask me for help, and we happen to have the same goal, it's not easy to refuse, is it?"
And where did all these enemies come from? I heard Chagall mention your ideas.”

At this point, the Second King of the North Gods revealed a look of reminiscence.

"Once upon a time, when I was young, I was just like you and your beloved Parkus, with lofty ideals and inexhaustible energy."

At that time, the conflict zone was also full of war. I thought that killing the king would solve everything, but I never expected that governing a country would be a thousand times more troublesome than killing someone. I finally realized that I didn't have the talent for it and could only leave there in disgrace. As a result, the conflict zone has been in chaos for more than a hundred years and has not yet ushered in true peace.

To be honest, while the Kingdom of Wanglong has many problems, I must admit that Chagall is a talented ruler skilled in governing. Since they have agreed to grant you a title, you might as well accept it first, observe the situation in the Kingdom of Wanglong, and then make a final decision.”

Allen laughed: "And then, while you're at it, stay at the Hokushin-ryu main dojo for a few more years?"

Northern God II clapped his hands and laughed: "That's right! That's exactly it. I was wondering what's so good about the Water God Stream Dojo and Asura? We should just stay in the Dragon King Kingdom."

After saying that, he stared intently at Allen's face with bright eyes.

She looked just like a lonely old woman who longed for her children to come home for a visit.

Allen looked at Bei Er's expression and suddenly realized what was going on.

In fact, given Bei Er's restless nature, he had long been tired of staying in the Wanglong Kingdom. If it weren't for the princesses in the Wanglong Kingdom who had close personal relationships with him, he probably would have run away long ago.

In fact, the conversation between the other party and Rudy in the original work can also confirm this point. After killing the King of the Dragon Kingdom, Orsteed left the Hokushinryu Dojo to travel around the Conflict Zone.

He then slipped all the way to the Kingdom of Asura, where he happened to witness Ariel's coronation. He was captivated by her beauty and demeanor and became the leader of Ariel's Golden Knights.

Thinking of this, Allen said, "You think I've been misled by Parkus, and that he's incapable of being a wise and virtuous ruler? He's just a talker?"

The Second Prince of the North smiled, his expression suggestive, but he did not give a direct answer.

Allen added, "If you replaced Parkus with a very beautiful and charming woman with a noble air, would you be more interested in observing him?"

Northern God II was taken aback, staring at Allen's face: "Can this still be changed?"

Allen stared at the Second Northern God, his gaze indifferent.

Bei Er shook his head and chuckled.

Allen stared out the window at Pakus, who was standing there dumbfounded, looking at the crime scene that had been razed to the ground by the Flash Flame Magic Tool.

"You want me to see what the Wanglong Kingdom is like, just as you don't want to see Pakus's abilities. If you're mutually disgusted, you naturally won't have the patience to wait any longer."

Bei Er stroked his beard:
“But I think Chagall is quite patient with you and thinks highly of you.”

Allen scoffed: "He doesn't think highly of me, he just knows he's going to die."

Bei Er let out a long "oh," and suddenly, he grabbed a fork from the side, his hand flashing out in a blur.

With a near-perfect throw from the Northern God Style, the fork whipped up a violent gust of wind in front of Allen and vanished instantly from the table.

In that instant, beneath the flowing strands of hair, the black eyes of the Northern God II turned to look at Allen's figure.

The next instant, Allen's figure disappeared.

When they reappeared, they were already beside Pacus.

In the ultimate flow of energy, within the steps of the Sword God style, the turbulent wind surrounding the fork was reflected in Allen's eyes.

Then, he opened his palm and firmly grasped it in his hand.

Wow! ! !
A sharp gust of wind roared and yanked Allen's sleeve violently toward Parkus!

With a sudden burst of energy, he lunged at Allen's hand, causing Parkus to stumble and almost collapse to the ground.

He then looked to the side in surprise, only to see Allen standing there, holding a fork, nodding at him.

Sweat beaded on Popus's forehead. He took a deep breath, got up from the ground, and gave Allen a grateful smile.

Then, after a moment of eye contact with Bei Er, who was looking up from inside the room, he actually laughed and gave Bei Er a noble salute through the window.

Seeing this, Allen walked expressionlessly towards the door. Just as he stepped across the threshold, he heard Parkus's steady and powerful voice behind him:
"Your Excellency, the Second King of the Northern Gods, I will prove that Mr. Allen's judgment was correct. Today, tomorrow is too soon, but in five, ten, or twenty years, you can wait and see! See what the Dragon King Kingdom will become!"

Allen narrowed his eyes, walked leisurely to the side of the Second Northern God, sat down next to him, and picked up a fork to cut the bread in front of the Second Northern God.

The other person glanced at Parkus, who still maintained a noble posture with his back straight, and suddenly laughed:

“Interesting, Allen does have some good taste.”

Allen spread the bread out in front of North Two: "Is it over?"

Bei Er nodded: "It's over. I've fulfilled Chagall's request. The assassination was successful, and the failure is also a failure."

Allen smiled and said, "That's really perfunctory."

The Second Northern God shook his head with a bitter face: "Then how can we continue to be serious? Since you and Chagall hate each other, so be it. If Chagall is really killed, it is his fate."

At this point, Allen raised his eyebrows: "Obel was also killed by me."

Bei Shen II turned to look at Bei San: "Do you have a problem with that?"

Northern God III shook his head: "No."

Bei Er smiled and said, "Then I don't have any either." He threw the fork that Allen handed him onto the table, picked up a piece of bread with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly: "The Bei Shen Liu is not like the Jian Shen Liu or Shui Shen Liu main dojos, whose loyal followers are branded with the dojo's mark from childhood."

The Kingdom of Wanglong has many dojos and no shortage of talent, so there's no need to train them from a young age. The Qiba Sect doesn't have many rules either. My purpose in founding the Qiba Sect is to allow swordsmen to not be confined to the sword in their hands when they are trying to win.

If I were to become the sharpest, most reassuring sword in their hearts, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

At this point, he added confidently, "If I had to ask about everyone's death, wouldn't I be hesitant and timid when awarding them titles?"

Allen nodded: "Is this why you randomly bestow the title of King of the North upon people? That old pervert Wayne has some strength, but Vi Ta, that filthy scum covered in glasses, and Nakul Jad, that bizarre twin sharing the same identity, do they even deserve to be called kings?"

Bei Er was taken aback, ignoring Allen's sarcastic remarks, his expression changed drastically:
"Did you kill them all?"

Allen: "Yes, I killed them all." Northern God II exclaimed in shock: "Randolph, didn't you release him?"

Allen stroked his chin: "Randolph will be one of us sooner or later."

Bei Er said with great distress: "That won't do either. How many people have been paid? You have to compensate me."

Allen glanced at Bei Er and said, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."

Bei Er persisted, "No, it's not up to you."

Allen: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

As if he had been waiting for these words, the Second Prince of the Northern Gods chuckled and said, "That's simple, I'll just bestow upon you the title of Northern Emperor."

Allen waved his hand: "Impossible."

After hesitating for a moment, the Second Northern God glanced at Allen, then at the Third Northern God, and gritted his teeth, saying, "What do you think of the Fourth Northern God?"

Allen: ? ?

Northern God III was taken aback, looking somewhat stammering at his father, who had only matured a bit in appearance over the past hundred years, and then glancing at Allen, whose eyes were twitching: "This...this can't be...right?"

Allen: Right? ??

Seeing Allen's unpleasant expression, the Second King of the North laughed for a while, then patted him on the shoulder before suddenly becoming serious and saying:

“That’s not appropriate. How about this, I’ll give you the title of the Second Northern God, how about that?”

Northern God III: Father? ???
Allen rubbed his temples, completely helpless against Bei Er's shameless behavior.

"Let's not dwell on these things. Let's get down to business. I have a few questions for you."

Seeing that Allen had become serious, the Second Northern God also looked at him with a composed expression.

"Oh? You ask."

Allen looked up at the Second Northern God: "First question: Are you an apostle of the gods?"

Northern God II was taken aback: "What apostle?"

Allen observed the reaction of the Northern God II, waved his hand to indicate that nothing had happened, and then asked:
"Secondly: Orsteed. I may have offended the Dragon God, one of the seven great powers. Teacher, you have lived long enough and seen a lot. I want to ask you, do you think I have a chance to defeat him now?"

Aisha, the Second Northern God, and the Third Northern God were all taken aback.

Chandur looked on in astonishment: "Lord Dragon God? How did you offend him?"

Allen pressed further, "Have you seen him?"

Chandler stroked his chin, frowned as he glanced at Allen, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I've met him twice. Once was on the Demon Continent, when I happened to run into him fighting some ignorant demon. The other time was in the King Dragon Mountains, when he killed two annoying King Dragons as he passed by."

Have you ever fought against him?

The Second Prince of the Northern Gods stiffened, then waved his hand and laughed:

"No, just looking at him was intimidating enough. I had already become a hero by then and had no interest in going up there to humiliate myself. Judging from the intimidating presence he exuded, I might still be a bit lacking compared to you."

Beisan:.
Allen: "Specifically?"

The Second King of the North Gods looked thoughtful: "I've only seen his Blade of Light. Admittedly, your speeds are almost identical, but I feel that the opponent's Blade of Light is sharper, more brutal, and more ruthless, carrying a sense of power to shatter everything in its path."

Allen squinted, looking down into his stomach.
The Dragon Saint's Battle Qi Crystal lies there.

The Second King of the North God continued, "Moreover, and more importantly, I always feel that that lord is like a suppressed flame."

It was as if, when he revealed his strength, he did not give it his all; no, to be precise, he was suppressing his power.

"We simply adhere to the principles of your Water God School, using just the right methods to kill, to resolve the difficulties we face, and then to extricate ourselves from the crisis in a perfectly timed manner."

Allen lowered his eyes:

It conforms to Alsted's formal principles and is energy-efficient.

He appeared quite disheveled in his battle with Rudy, but his main purpose was to conserve his magic power and observe Rudy, this variable.

Even having his arm severed by Alice was a result of falling into the trap of empiricism.

Since Alice is only a sword saint in the Rudy route, the fact that the opponent could wield the Blade of Light was beyond his expectations.

Moreover, most importantly
He never unleashed his divine power as a demigod in these battles, but only attacked with the magic and swordsmanship he had learned after his reincarnation in the human world.

If they really got serious, unleashing their divine power, and drawing the divine sword that could contain divine power but consumed a great deal of magical energy...
Even Bei San, who was wearing the God of War Armor, possessed Laplace's power level, and wielded the King Dragon Sword, was easily defeated.

The divine sword that can fully unleash the power of the god Orsteed
Allen recalled the almost inexhaustible power he felt while wearing the God of War Armor in the Abyss, and sighed silently.

In summary:

If Alsteed is curious about himself and has some interest in him.

—See the scene of Rudy and Alsteed fighting. They could fight for a long time, and there could even be time for some small talk in the middle.

If Alsteed has no interest in him and sees him as a threat.

—See the scene where Alstead was about to kill Rudy before Alice appeared. There was hardly any room to breathe, and it was difficult for the other person to listen to what you said.

If Alsteid confirms that he is an apostle of God and man.

—He would use his Light Hand Blade to take out those who weren't strong enough.

If the opponent is strong enough, he will first draw his divine sword, and then use the divine sword of light to stab them in one stroke.

Without drawing his sword, there is room for maneuver.

Draw your sword, and all will be over.

So what we need to do now is try to steer the current situation toward the first goal, in order to gain the opportunity to communicate with the other party.

"understood."

Bei Er stared at Allen, looking shocked: "When did Allen offend Lord Dragon God?"

Allen rubbed his temples, offering no further explanation:
"I haven't offended him objectively or subjectively, but I have a feeling he might do something to me. Anyway, it's probably just a gut feeling."

Bei San stroked his chin and suddenly realized, "I understand now. The Dragon God also wants to be a hero and become a 'savior'."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

A moment later, Bei San sensed something was wrong. He looked up at Allen, who was staring blankly at him, and his elderly father:
"Uh, why are you all looking at me like that?"
