As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mitis felt a surge of regret in her heart.

"One tenth is too much, isn't it? I should have used one third or one fifth!"

But words spoken cannot be taken back, so Mitis can only control the sweat from flowing down her forehead by controlling her body fluids.

Closing my eyes felt like I was awaiting judgment.

"Ten...one tenth!"

Sith's voice was so loud that it shook the towering trees around him.

"What kind of wisdom could create such a grand plan! I thought I had grasped your entire plan, but I didn't expect there wasn't even the tip of the iceberg... Lord Jealousy, you must be the most intelligent original sin ever, right? Standing before you, I feel deeply insignificant. No, I imagine you've already guessed my reaction just now."

In Sis's eyes, he had become a plaything in Mitis's hands. In the first second of the conversation, he had already guessed several possible outcomes. No, it should be said that he had already guessed the ending. For this adult, the ending would only lead to one, like a butterfly caught in a spider web.

But this seemed to be a different matter in Mitis's eyes. If the guessed plan was described as the tip of the iceberg, Mitis could still barely accept it, but the last sentence "I feel deeply insignificant" sounded really sour, as if mocking herself.

To confirm this, Mitis opened her eyes and prepared to see Sith's expression, but the scene that came into her eyes surprised her.

Sith was prostrating himself on the ground, his forehead completely pressed against the ground, even his mouth was touching the dirt.

"Sith?"

Mitis's voice couldn't help but be a little off-tune.

But Sith was unusually calm.

"Lord Jealous, please allow me to do this. Only in this way can I eliminate my shame—"

Having said that, Sith paused for a moment, a bitter look emerging on his face.

"—This must be under your control, right?"

"No...it's a little unexpected..."

Mitis began to feel that being too mysterious was not a good thing. After all, she shouldn't have casually said it was one tenth. It was simply exaggerated to the point of causing problems.

Sith's breath stagnated and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I've always respected those with wisdom. Meeting you today was like seeing the sun in the dark night. I never imagined someone as insignificant as me could do something so surprising... Is this what it means to be overwhelmed with joy? This is the first time I've experienced such an emotion."

As he spoke, Sis reached out to wipe away his tears, looking quite moved.

However, this reaction made Mitis feel a little overwhelmed. She actually moved a normal man to tears with her words. This was also the first time.

Mitis took out a piece of coarse cloth from the storage magic and handed it to Sith, motioning him to wipe away his tears.

"Get up. I don't like to see people crying."

"Yes, I will keep this in mind."

"I'll keep it in mind..."

She hoped that Sith could forget all this. If Ella knew about this, she would definitely laugh her head off. Imagining Ella rolling around on the bed with her belly laughing, Mitis couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Sith, I command you to forget this."

"What do these mean...?"

"Everything that just happened."

Mitis's words made Sith look embarrassed.

"No... Master Mitis, this is difficult for me. Forgetting someone as dazzling as you is even more impossible than defeating a giant dragon."

"Tsk, then keep this a secret. Don't even tell Greed, or I'll end my cooperation with Greed."

"It's natural."

Unexpectedly, he received a positive response from Sith.

Mitis couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Greed is your master, isn't it? As a servant, is it okay for you to keep this secret?"

"Yes, in truth, I'm not a servant created by Greedy-sama using his powers. I'm a human who obeys his orders out of admiration for his immense power. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to survive normally in the human world. Servants created by Greedy-sama are easily swayed by emotions and lack the common sense of the human world. This must be why you, Envy-sama, didn't create any servants, right? The plan you've laid out shouldn't require servants of low intelligence."

"You actually figured it out."

Of course, this was a lie. Creating servants not only required a great deal of time and energy, but also a huge amount of materials. At the same time, only those who accepted the original sin of will could create servants, so of course he didn't have any.

"But even if you're not a servant created by greed, you're still part of it, right?"

"Yes, but I once made an agreement with Lord Greed that if I could meet someone who far surpassed me in wisdom, I would be allowed a certain degree of freedom. This is within the permitted range."

"Greed is a strange creature."

"Yes."

Sith folded the coarse cloth given by Mitis to wipe her tears, carefully hid it in his chest pocket, and after adjusting his chest which was heaving rapidly due to excessive excitement, he bowed deeply to Mitis.

"We will soon reach Lord Greed's residence. Lord Jealous, please be patient for a while."

"certainly."

Mitis shrugged and followed Sith.

Chapter 52: Seal of Greed

After passing through several paths and crossing a valley, Mitis and Sith finally stopped in front of a huge rock.

The thin Sith saluted slightly.

"We've arrived, Master Jealous."

"There are no guards around here?"

Mitis looked around - large areas of exposed rocks were exposed to the air, there was no place to hide, and even the bushes only grew to the ankles. Compared to the primeval forest outside the valley, it was like another world.

"Yes, this is the residence of Lord Greed, and those lesser creatures are not allowed to approach."

"Those lower creatures?"

"They are the protectors of humans and other races."

Although she guessed that it probably referred to the guards, Mitis still couldn't help frowning.

"Are there no servants here?"

"Yes, Master Greed has not yet shaped his body, so it will be difficult for him to create servants."

"Shaping the body... Could it be that Greed has been accepting my will since it first gained consciousness?"

The fact that the body has not yet been formed means that consciousness has only recently emerged, and the longest time will not exceed three years. The mental and physical dullness will definitely greatly reduce the original strength.

If this is true, then now is the best time for a sneak attack. Although Greed is only one place higher than himself in the ranking of the Seal of Original Sin - he is the weakest seventh, but in fact there is a big gap between the two in one-on-one combat. The Seal of Jealousy is good at fighting with the help of the power of monsters, while the Seal of Greed is a holy spirit that controls fire. Fighting alone, he is at an absolute disadvantage.

And now the Seal of Greed is in a weak period, maybe there is a chance in a one-on-one fight. Mitis can't help but feel that the One God is protecting her.

Sith hesitated for a moment.

"Well... I'd better let Master Greed tell you this himself."

"Is that so?"

Not getting the expected answer, Mitis shrugged, then Sith walked to the boulder, placed his hand on a slightly concave space, and injected magic into it.

About ten seconds passed.

The dull sound of boulders rubbing against each other was heard, as if some invisible force was pushing the stones. The stones, which were at least four people tall, slowly moved to the side, revealing a deep cave entrance hidden behind them.

"Lord Greed is in there, Lord Envy."

Sith said this without any intention of leading the way, he just made a gesture of invitation.

Subconsciously sensing danger, Mitis asked while pretending to be calm.

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"Yes, I cannot enter the place where Master Greed rests without permission."

“Is that so…”

Ignoring Sith's polite answer, Mitis waved her hand. Now that things had come to this, there was naturally no reason to turn back. She built up her strength in her heart and stepped steadily into the cave.

Unlike the dark and damp smell imagined, the air in the cave was not fresh, but it was not unpleasant either. Perhaps it was because the Seal of Greed lived there. The temperature got higher the further in one went, and in the end, Mitis even had the illusion that she was in a steamer.

It didn't take long for Mitis, who remained vigilant all the way, to slowly walk to the end of the cave - a spacious hall with a high ceiling. Countless torches were hung on the khaki walls, and bright red mysterious runes filled the field of vision. At the innermost part was a high platform for sacrifice. The atmosphere looked like a gathering place for a cult organization.

Mitis stopped before stepping in. The Seals of Original Sin could sense each other, but not only before, but even now she did not feel the presence of greed. She couldn't help feeling like she had fallen into a trap.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back, a strong male voice came from the platform in the distance.

"I didn't expect it to come so soon. I'm jealous."

The voice was slightly different from what she remembered, but Mitis didn't care. After adjusting her mood, she turned slightly sideways towards the platform.

"have not seen you for a long time."

"Ah, long time no see. When was the last time we met? No, let's talk first."

There was clearly no space, but a human voice was heard. Mitis frowned, feeling a little uneasy at the scene.

"Aren't you going to show up first?"

"Uh... I thought you'd be unhappy with my unruly behavior."

"I prefer to talk to concrete things."

"In that case."

As soon as the powerful male voice fell, a black-gray mist emerged from the high platform at the end of the field of vision, and after a moment, it slowly condensed into an erratic human figure.

The figure condensed from greed spread out his hands.

"Is this enough for you?"

"reluctantly."

Mitis raised her feet and stepped into the hall, the soles of her boots making a clicking sound on the ground. Of course, because she was worried that Greed might suddenly attack her, Mitis spread her vampire wings in advance in case of emergency.

When she was only ten meters away from the platform, Mitis stopped—the thought that going any further would be dangerous emerged in her mind.

"You called me over here...what's going on?"

"Hehehe, are you affected by some residual memory? You've suddenly become so straightforward."

As if she had missed a step while walking, Mitis's heart skipped a beat and her whole body stiffened for a moment.

"This is not something you need to worry about."

"I just mentioned it casually. Wouldn't it be ungentlemanly of me to jump right into the subject?"

"That's human etiquette."

Mitis's words made Greedy fold his arms, his voice surprisingly full of mixed emotions.

"Humans...some of their stuff is surprisingly good. I wouldn't resort to violence if I could, but it seems like there's no other way."

"For the mission?"

Mitis asked tentatively. Although she had not yet accepted the inherited will, the specific content of the will was still retained in her memory.

"Of course, our creator has given us a supreme mission. It is not the duty of a servant to fail to complete it."

"Is that so? Judging from your expression earlier, I thought you'd forgotten—but let me be clear, if you do anything against your will, I'll be the first to take action against you."

There was a sharp look in Mitis's eyes. She knew very well that the Seal of Original Sin, which had accepted the will, would not have any second thoughts. So this was an act to let the Seal of Greed relax its vigilance and deepen the other party's misunderstanding - mistakenly thinking that she had awakened.

"Hahaha, I knew you would say that."

The Seal of Greed, whose body was condensed from black mist, laughed loudly, but then he returned to a serious tone and looked down at Mitis from above. Due to the lack of facial features, he looked extremely weird.

"Seeing me like this, you should understand my current state, right?"

"Are you trying to say you haven't got a body yet?"

"Yeah, that's it."

"You can still fight without your body, right?"

Controlling the sweat from her body, Mitis tensed her nerves, crossed her arms and teased.

After a moment's delay, Greedy's tone sounded a little annoyed.
