"If you ever encounter someone with 'greed' in the future, just kill them."

Eros hesitated for a moment, then continued:

If you can't kill them, just run.

"Don't hesitate."

"Why?" Alice asked, puzzled.

Why?

"Because, they are robbers!"

"Wanting to possess everything, greedy for all things in the world," Eros said, explaining the reason.

"But such people ultimately gain nothing."

"Is that so?...I understand," Alice nodded, indicating that she understood.

Does that mean plunder?

The essence of greed is to plunder what one desires.

I have a feeling that this is even more dangerous than the replication of 'jealousy'.

This put Alice under some pressure.

Originally, she considered herself to be among the top tier of magic users, if not the strongest. Now it seems she still has a long way to go.

At least, next time you face primal desires, you should have the strength to fight back.

Even after learning of the despairing power of the Seven Deadly Sins, Alice never gave up.

If she gave up when faced with such a situation, then she wouldn't be herself.

Meanwhile, Eros, watching his daughter deep in thought, revealed a smile.

—This is the real Alice!

"alright"

Eros looked at Alice.

"Now, you can explain it to me."

"Explain why you destroyed that world's magic library!"

Eros's words were filled with a sense of vicissitude and bewilderment.

He sighed and looked directly at Alice in front of him.

"Old man, why are you meddling in this?"

Hearing Eros's words, Alice sneered, her expression filled with disdain and mockery:

"Do you think those things should exist?"

Eros was not angry; he simply said:

"Those are treasures left behind by humankind over millions of years. Each book carries the wisdom and hard work of countless sages, and their value is immeasurable."

"treasure?"

Alice scoffed.

"Those bricks hidden in unknown corners, untouched and unread?"

"Books are for reading, and so are magic books."

"If they don't let people read it, then what's the point of their existence?"

"Didn't you read it?"

"I wasn't talking about myself!"

Alice was extremely serious when she talked about this.

"Not the nobles, nor the students, but every ordinary, unremarkable person outside of these circles!"

"They were destined from birth to never have access to this kind of knowledge!"

Eros frowned slightly. He understood Alice's misunderstanding, so he patiently explained:

"Child, books are for reading, and so are magic books."

"But those books are too precious; if they are lost or misused, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"That's why we treasure them in the library, leaving them for those who are destined to receive them."

"A destined person?"

Alice's face darkened, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"To put it bluntly, they're just those arrogant, self-important nobles, right?"

"By what right do they monopolize these common human resources?"

"And those who truly crave knowledge and have the ability to read are being shut out?"

Eros remained silent for a moment, understanding Alice's anger and dissatisfaction.

Indeed, there are many injustices and irrationalities in this world, and the gap between nobles and commoners is widening.

"teacher?"

Alice looked intently at the child, Eros.

"Do you really think that library is necessary?"

"Why can the nobles remain high and mighty? Isn't it because they monopolize all the knowledge for advancement, magic, and swordsmanship?"

"you."

Eros's languid expression vanished completely, and he looked at Alice with a serious expression:

"Does it intend to overthrow the aristocratic class?"

"The world is sick."

Alice's eyes were firm and resolute.

"Therefore, someone needs to treat them."

"And why can't that person be you or me?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Eros was stunned; he hadn't expected Alice to say such a thing.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he was filled with emotion and relief.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Haha, you little rascal, you actually tried to scheme against your teacher."

"Since you've said this to me, does that mean you already have a plan?"

"teacher"

Alice did not answer Eros's question, but instead asked:

"Who do you think will win this war, the war between the North Wind Empire and the Goblin Empire?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Only at this time will you call me 'teacher'."

Eros pondered for only a moment before answering definitively:

"The Goblin Empire will lose!"

"Oh, why?"

Alice asked in return, somewhat curious.

"The 'Hero' whom the North Wind Empire was so proud of disappeared while fighting the Demon King, and now only two of the four great knight orders remain."

"In the goblin faction, only one of the four generals has died, and the goblins seem to be using redstone to build an army."

"Any monsters in the vicinity that do not belong to any faction are annihilated, even those as powerful as the Oni race."

"Furthermore, I went to the Ghost Clan's territory, and there were traces of Titans in the ruins."

At this point, Alice's tone became unusually serious.

"It's highly likely that the goblins have already mastered the complete creation magic of the Titans."

「哦

Upon hearing this, Eros's expression changed slightly, a rare occurrence.

"How is this possible?"

"How did they solve the energy problem? Even with the energy problem, there are still a whole host of other issues."

"I don't know, I'm wondering about it too."

Alice shook her head.

"That's a technique that's almost impossible to perform."

"But it actually happened."

"It is highly likely that the technology originated from ancient ruins."

"In addition, there's that unstable factor: the gluttonous individual who can challenge you, teacher."

"Under these circumstances, teacher, how do you think the Goblin Empire will lose?"

"Hahaha!"

Eros did not refute Alice's analysis.

You're right.

"You're even underestimating the situation. One of the remaining two knight commanders was killed not long ago, while neither of the goblin generals is dead."

"Oh"

Alice was quite surprised.

"Is the teacher so sure?"

"In this situation, unless the missing hero reappears..."

Could it be...?

Alice looked at Eros.

"The teacher knows the whereabouts of the hero Arthur."

"No"

Eros shook his head.

"Even if that hero appears, it's impossible to reverse this situation."

"Is the teacher underestimating the hero's power?"

"No"

Eros looked at the stars in the sky and sighed:

"You underestimate those goblins."

"Forehead--"

Alice was speechless, and looked at the rambling Eros, saying:

"Stop beating around the bush, just tell me what's on your mind, I have other things to do."

"Hahaha"

Eros laughed heartily and, without keeping them in suspense, said:

"You're right, but you overestimated the goblins besides Goblin General Tian and overlooked the Gluttony Holder."

"And then there's the foundation of the North Wind Empire." (End of Chapter)
