Guild Boss's Ambition

(Ulu-Lannon)

It was two o'clock in the morning.

"In general, isn't this all your own fault, Bai Ye?"

After listening to Bai Ye's honest narration, the president let out a huge roar.

Miss Raftan stood on Bai Ye's side: "That being said, didn't Miss Bai Ye step onto the battlefield to fight against the high elves, and thus accidentally let the enemy control your original body?"

Meng Er, who knew Ye's character well, said coldly, "Don't think that she went to the battlefield for the sake of the country and the people. This witch is taking such a risk for her own benefit. And then again, she caused trouble for the sake of petty gains. Why should our guild clean up the mess for her? Where in the world can you get such a good deal?"

Since it was already past midnight, I was already feeling sleepy.

In order to get back to bed and rest as soon as possible, I calmed down the quarrel while yawning and took charge of the discussion: "Okay, okay, we can hold Bai Ye accountable for her misbehavior later. The key point now is how to save my life and deal with the cloned personality that Bai Ye has split out - oh - so sleepy -"

At this time, the president's daughter suddenly raised her head as if she suddenly remembered something, and shouted in a deep voice: "Wait, Bai Ye Witch, there is one thing you haven't explained clearly! Why would the other Bai Ye want to take Xiao Lan's life? Why is Xiao Lan the biggest variable that hinders the balance of nature in your mind?"

Right? Why do you have to kill me?

Bai Ye replied, "Because Uru's life experience is quite special, by chance, I discovered the bloodline of the heroes from the past two civilizations. Legend has it that the hero Arius is qualified to pull out the mountain sword Adolanus. As long as the Alliance obtains the power of this legendary holy sword, the high elves will completely lose the opportunity to invade the Alliance."

While speaking, Bai Ye secretly made a sign to me under the table.

The sign language reads: "I lied. Sky, wolf, stars. You decide for yourself."

In short, Bai Ye was just talking nonsense seriously.

She said this to prevent Sirius' secret from leaking out.

After all, there was a high elf sitting in the president's office at that moment, and things that shouldn't be said should be kept to himself.

In order to cooperate with Bai Ye's lie, I had to pretend to be surprised and shouted, "What? Bai Ye, you know my background?!"

The shrewd Miss President questioned pragmatically: "What is the hero Arius? What is the mountain sword Adolanyus? They are all things that we have never heard of. Bai Ye, are you making up stories to deceive us? Xiaolan is obviously insulated from magic and weapons. Even if she really has some hero bloodline, she can't go to the battlefield to fight?"

Bai Ye said without blinking, "Xiao Lan is set to become a legendary if she successfully draws the sword."

Having been tricked once, Raftan joined the questioning party: "Why do I always feel that what you are saying now, Miss Baiye, is similar to the legend of the magical girl that day, except that the conditions for breaking the law and the material title have changed from riding a saint to drawing a sword, and from a magical girl to a hero? Miss Baiye, do you have some kind of difficult secret that prevents you from telling the truth?"

Even though he was attacked from both sides, Bai Ye still insisted on his own argument: "Yes, what I said is all true. Our world is an epic setting where heroes, demons and seven dwarfs once existed. No matter how absurd the history is, it will not change because of the doubts of you mere mortals. Please respect the existing history of our ancestors! Okay?"

"Hero? Demon King?? Seven dwarfs? Is this true?"

At this time, the president, who was extremely skeptical at first, began to waver.

When something that is already very absurd becomes even more absurd, people sometimes start to doubt the truth and common sense for no reason, like when a friend who stays at home all year suddenly says that he has a cute girlfriend. At first, we generally doubt the cuteness of it, saying that there is no picture and no truth, right?

However, when he further added that his girlfriend is a cosplayer, we probably believed him 60% of the time and started to think: How did this guy get so lucky to get a girl? Why doesn’t this happen to me?

Sensing President Ehard's hesitation, I immediately joined the coalition with Bai Ye, scratching my cheek and saying, "Although I don't want to admit that I have the blood of a ghost hero, I have just used the soul contract to make Bai Ye tell the truth and not lie, and the result is that she really believes that my life experience is related to the legendary hero──"

"It sounds very impressive. Miss Lannong's bloodline is definitely a hundred times more noble than that of a goblin."

At that moment, Miss Raftan and Miss Heloise both looked at me with admiration.

"I feel so ashamed."

"Bai Ye has so many excuses, why did he have to make up such a weird story?"

"She really wants to see me make a fool of myself, right? She definitely wants to see me make a fool of myself!"

I looked at Bai Ye with an itchy look on my face, and she was smiling lewdly at me.

I steeled myself and turned my gun towards this bad woman. "Anyway, the focus right now is not on my bloodline at all. The problem is how we can stop that mutated Bai Ye. From the battle just now, it's not hard to see that guy is almost evolving to a legendary level, and it's very likely to continue to grow!"

Hearing this, Meng'er, who was used to attacking necromancers, immediately opened fire: "So, Miss Maria over there, do you know what's wrong with Miss Bai Ye? She's annoying enough at ordinary times, and now she suddenly gives us a split personality, making herself look like a little brat with a whole chuunibyou syndrome."

Unexpectedly, Miss Raftan said vaguely: "Little brat? Really? I think Miss Bai Ye is quite cute. She gives people the impression of a real sixteen-year-old girl, not an all-knowing necromancer."

"Ahhh~~ I got an unexpected compliment! Thank you, Raftan!"

Hearing what Miss Paladin said, the middle-aged Miss Bai Ye was overjoyed: "But, in fact, that half of my body is indeed my teenage self. No! The correct statement is me when I was about twelve years old. At that time, I had just left the Dark Alliance and was very immature in every aspect. Now it seems that I am really stupid!"

Sister Meng Er retorted in all seriousness, "No, no, no, if I can choose between the two, I would rather kill you, an old witch, than touch your body. Your arrogant personality of talking about your goals and intentions is very ladylike and seems to be very worth teasing."

I couldn't help but complain: "President, do you want to take any loli home and raise them?"

Meng Er pointed at the aunt next door and said as a matter of course: "Bai Ye's words are an exception. I seriously suspect that her conscience has been rotten into swamp-like mud since the moment she was born. If I picked up such a loli in Panlong Forest, I would never bring her to the guild! At most, I would throw her to a place like the Church of the Sun God."

Bai Ye suddenly chuckled──

"By the way, my first stop after arriving in Mopolis City seemed to be the Church of the Sun God. How can I explain this? Everyone in the church is too surprised. The mother just transformed her daughter's body into a mobile arsenal, but they locked up a twelve-year-old girl and shouted for purification. Don't you think it's too much?"

Ms. Raftan: "I think the priests of the temple should have their own considerations."

President Ehard: "It seems that they did not succeed in purifying your evil heart back then. What a pity."

Heloise: "The undead are evil, and death is not a pity."

Me: "Please focus on the discussion, the enemy's target is my head, yawn~~"

Bai Ye: "If Uru wants to sleep, just go to bed! We are here to take care of your life."

Because of Bai Ye's words "sleep", the worrying Miss President immediately looked at me with sharp eyes, and even Miss Laftan brought out the theory of adolescent development preservation. Under the attack from three parties, I originally wanted to hold on to the end of the meeting, but in the end I had to give in and obediently succumbed to my sleepiness and returned to Bai Ye's room to rest.

It's strange, in this situation where someone is aiming at my head, I should have been very nervous in the past, but now I don't have too many concerns. I feel that as long as I let Bai Ye and the others arrange things, there will be no problem. It seems that this is the psychological state I usually have when assigning adventurer missions.

Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I opened Bai Ye's door. Since Bai Ye only had water magic ability left, he couldn't use time and space magic to repair the room after the battle as usual. The floor was covered with glass fragments and traces of burns from the flames, and there was a big hole in the window so air was leaking into the room, which made people feel cold just by looking at it.

"Little Spot? Lian'er?"

At this time, Xiaoban, who had just received treatment, was curled up on Bai Ye's bed and sleeping.

"This child also tried his best to protect me tonight──"

"After this kind of accident, Berlani should have let Lian'er stay in their room overnight, right?"

In order to avoid implicate Berlane and Lian'er who had no fighting ability, I cleaned up the messy room a little, and then fell on the bed in a strong sleepiness. Because I had the quilt and Xiaoban, even though the window let in the biting winter wind, the quilt was still warm, allowing me to fall asleep peacefully in a short while, temporarily forgetting the experience of being chased.

……

41. Unoptimistic Battle (White Night)

(white night)

Although on the surface everyone seems to be chatting and laughing, in reality the situation is still not optimistic.

Frankly speaking, there are many ways to stop my half-Lila, but the annoying thing is how much it would cost to buy this exact insurance? There are too many possibilities in Lila.

First of all, she's my half. Even if she only has one-fifth of my intelligence, Lila is still very formidable, and judging by the battle, her intelligence and knowledge seem to be increasing over time, which means she will take more strategic actions in the future instead of rushing around like she did at the beginning.

She will choose to appear at our most difficult time and try to take Uru's life!

Second, Lila's appearance was due to the magic of the high elves. The effect of the magic on her was unknown, and according to the current situation, the priest named Gabriella should not have known about the existence of Uru. If not, the attack tonight would definitely not be just Lila herself, but more powerful people from the high elves.

And if Lila goes to contact the high elves herself in the future, the situation will become even worse.

Third, Lila had used the magic of soul devouring. This magic can instantly replenish the quality of the soul, but the price is the loss of memory and the invasion of other people's memories, just like when we patch a skirt, the skirt will no longer be the original skirt, but a completely different existence.

If she happens to merge with the souls of some powerful people, she will become very powerful. In addition, because her soul has impurities from other people, I will lose control of her personality and will not be able to make more efficient decisions.

Sigh...

lol...

While I was thinking, suddenly the sound of three legs' footsteps came from behind the door.

"It seems we have a new think tank! It's just that we are a little late."

Not long after Uru left the president's office, Ebi, leaning on a bamboo stick, finally arrived.

Hearing my teasing, the old man said unhappily, "I am different from you. I am already dying and have a fixed habit of going to bed at 10:30. You guys were playing ping-pong downstairs, not only waking me up, but you also failed to catch each other in the act. Do you think the wrath of nature is not exciting enough and want to add some extra entertainment?"

"So, what do you think about this?"

I didn't need to explain much. The old man had already recognized me in my new body. He slowly sat down between Ehard and Heloise and said calmly, "Go contact Corvina! Finding her as soon as possible will be good for everyone. Your body is full of stench. It shouldn't be difficult as long as the right method is used."

Hearing that, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I'm afraid even Corvina can't find half of me. My magic book contains many methods of hiding my whereabouts. The city lord and his men have tried to track me down over the past two years, but they haven't succeeded in breaking the stealth magic I created. Even I am temporarily helpless."

Ahad at the side immediately said sarcastically: "Look! Why do you have nothing better to do than to strengthen yourself so much?!"

Fortunately, the old man didn't talk all kinds of unrealistic nonsense like his president.

He stared at Heloise's delicate face and said leisurely, "Since we can't find your half, we can only take a defensive approach. Fortunately, the president has completed four missions this time, so our president will have a full month of free time to concentrate on dealing with the trouble you have caused."

I quickly corrected him and said, "I ended up in this situation because I summoned the Undead Dragon. To be exact, this is completely a case of user pays. If no one helped to stop the Elf Dragon, Snow Wolf Pass would have fallen earlier, and Corvina and the others' deployment would have been in chaos. In the end, all of you, the people of the Light Alliance, would have suffered the consequences."

The old man glanced at me and scolded me with a smile: "You make it sound like you are a first-class citizen."

I smiled and asked back: "Am I not?!"

He shook his head and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "Not quite there yet, isn't it?"

"I know what you want." I looked at Ehard and asked, "It's the magic of limb transplantation, right?"

Hai Lao took a sip of hot tea leisurely and said, "Our rich lady, would you like to entrust us with a task?"

I asked with a smile: "Can your guild handle a legendary mission?"

Hai Lao said calmly: "If we can't finish it, we can outsource it. It's actually very easy to handle, isn't it?"

In the quiet night, out of sight of the girls, the old scented oil lamp had burned down to only a short candle. The air was filled with a traditional, fresh scent, vigorous and powerful, as if it was the smell that refused to bow to fate.

I asked him, “Can you really handle this?”

He raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently: "At least my luck is not as bad as yours."

I was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and said to everyone present: "It is not appropriate to let the military know about this matter, otherwise it will be very troublesome for them to investigate. And I don't have any connections I dare to use for the time being. Those people are too dangerous. I don't want our guild to be associated with them unless it is the last moment."

Upon hearing this, Raftan, who was from another place, naturally remained silent.

The high elf on the other side just stared at Ehad next to Hai Lao.

Generally speaking, the only ones who have some connections here are the president's daughter and the lecherous old man.

At this time, the president asked Ebi a question that I was also curious about: "Ebi, who is the person who helped us in Garuru Village? It is said that he uses extremely precise lightning magic."

"Lightning magic?" Hai Lao looked surprised and replied, "That person is probably the one you are thinking of. I never thought that he was so afraid to go home that he ran to another guild. Regarding this, I will personally visit Water World tomorrow to see if there is any way to invite him back to help."

Beside them, Miss Raftan, who didn't understand the conversation between the two, asked, "Him? Which him are you talking about?"

I opened my mouth to explain to Miss Paladin, "They are talking about Griffith, Ehard's grandfather. He was a great magician who left the Stone House 20 years ago and his whereabouts remain a mystery. Some say he went mad because of the failure of running the guild, while others say he abandoned his companions to accomplish more important things. But there is still no unified explanation."

At this point, Erhard said with certainty: "At that time, grandpa's mental state was indeed very bad."

Poor.

Griffith's situation must be very bad if Erhard could say "bad" to his relatives.

In order to gain full control of the Stone House, I have basically sorted out the entire history of this guild, but the part about Griffith's departure strangely left no obvious traces. The true and specific situation is probably only known to Griffith himself and some specific related persons. It can be regarded as an unsolved case that is difficult to track down.

However, even with the addition of Griffiths, the situation is still not optimistic.

Ebi understood the situation well, so he turned his attention to Ehad.

He said in a helpless tone: "Miss, if you don't want the guild to lose a silly girl, then please make sure to go to the tree of life next door in person. You are the only one with the identity to accomplish this task."

What Hai Lao meant was that Ehad should go to the Tree of Life and beg for help.

It seemed like a special situation like the Wrath of Nature. In fact, every guild was almost completely overwhelmed by Corvina's schemes. Even the Tree of Life, one of the seven major guilds, should have its human resources stretched quite tight. To prevent any accidents, each guild would secretly keep some trump cards for themselves in case of emergency.

In short, during the period of Nature's Wrath, the rental price of each legendary powerhouse is astronomical.

If the mission goal is to defeat "Miss Bai Ye", I will probably have to spend a month or two waiting or wait until my soul is fully recovered, and then break the hidden magic in the magic book in Lila's hand.

I thought about it and said, "As for the Tree of Life, I will go with you, Ehad. Firstly, it will help explain the specific situation. Secondly, I don't want the Stone House to owe the Tree of Life a favor because of this matter. If limb transplantation is one of the terms of the transaction, I believe we can gain more room for negotiation."

Upon hearing this, the high elf lady at the side immediately said nervously: "From your tone, the Tree of Life seems to be a very dangerous place? Lord Ehad, please be sure to take Heloise to the Tree of Life! Even if I am just a goblin, I can sacrifice my life at a critical moment and be a little help to you, sir!"

Upon hearing what Heloise said, Ehard and Raftan both looked as if they had stomachaches.

From this point of view, Heloise's existence should be an inexplicable coincidence.

But where is the Tree of Life?

Heloise's background will definitely be discovered by their strong men, and she may even be treated as a war spy.

In fact, both Ebi and I have been on guard against this strange high elf from the beginning until now.

Even though she risked her life to help save Miss Lannon, it's very possible that this was just a self-torture trick she used to gain our trust. But the question is, if she was really a spy sent by the high elves, then why did she sneak into our stone house, and why didn't she form a common front with my other half to eliminate Uru, the dangerous factor?

So, I started making up lies.

I said righteously, "Heloise, your race is special. We can't take you directly to the Tree of Life."
