Guild Boss's Ambition

"That thing consumes a lot of magic crystals..."

"I can provide the magic crystal myself, but I want the unlimited right to use it."

"Okay, this is much easier."

After agreeing on the price, Bai Ye refilled our tea and then slowly said, "Lust is a demon that feeds on immoral love. To collect immoral love, the most ideal place is where intelligent humans live, because only intelligent creatures have the concept of morality and love, thus giving rise to a powerful demon like lust."

"Love between parents and children, love between brothers and sisters, love between the same sex, fetishism, lolita control and other desires that do not conform to the secular perspective are the most suitable food for entertaining lust. Once you establish morality and cannot suppress these desires, the demons hidden in the other world will become stronger because of it."

Bai Ye said slowly without any expression: "From what I know, your Church of Light should be the most prosperous religion in Mopolis, right? Then which kind of immoral love do you think will be the most oppressed and discriminated against in this city while occupying a considerable population? On the contrary to you, these people will be the most loyal believers of the devil."

Which kind of immoral love occupies the largest population?

Mr. Green Willow soon had the answer.

"You mean the love between man and devil?"

Bai Ye smiled and said, "It's amazing. Our city obviously doesn't have any intelligent humans and monsters, but there are mixed-race monsters all over the streets. Don't you think this is a social phenomenon that is worth studying?"

Mr. Lvliu shook his head with a grim expression and said, "They used their own methods to hide in this city. We have been monitoring the activities of these pure-blooded monsters, but since they have not committed any crime or caused any trouble for us, we exorcists have no intention of pulling them out and purifying them... But no matter what, things that should be hidden in the dark should be hidden in the dark. Monsters that do not appear in front of humans are good monsters."

"Now, they are all bad, evil monsters."

After making his final summary with murderous intent, Mr. Green Willow stood up straight and bowed to Bai Ye.

It was obvious that he had already obtained the information he wanted and no longer wanted to trade with Bai Ye.

25. Unholy Love (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

Our group followed Mr. Lvliu and left Bai Ye's room.

In order to facilitate a confidential meeting, I used my privileges to arrange a good guest room for the detective.

After obtaining the information from Bai Ye, the first thing Mr. Lvliu did was to collect a large number of newspapers and magazines from the past month. As the truth became clearer, our goal shifted from looking for Saint Agatha to finding the sacrifice to summon the Demon King Leia, and the primary target was those immoral people who had combined with demons.

From a certain perspective, the so-called devil actually comes from the power of the minority in society.

Pride, envy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, lust.

The most important reason why these temperaments are called the seven deadly sins is that they are correct to a certain extent. There is only a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Jealousy is the driving force for the weak to move forward. Anger is a strategy for fools to protect themselves. Accumulating wealth and food is a way for people to gain a sense of security...

Sometimes, it is not necessarily the sinner himself who breeds sin.

Ever since leaving Bai Ye's room until now, Mr. Lvliu has had a cold expression on his face. The relaxed and positive working atmosphere of the past few days was suddenly overshadowed by his low mood. No one knows what he is angry about, but it is estimated that he must have been affected by Bai Ye's words.

Bai Ye has a bad habit. She likes to see others waver.

After spending most of the afternoon, we finally prepared all the news magazines for Mr. Green Willow, and then we started looking for clues together. According to Mr. Green Willow, summoning the original sin demon Lust requires a large number of sacrifices, and in order to collect a large number of sacrifices at one time, Demon King Leia and his men should find a way to organize those perverts together.

Mr. Luliu's hypothesis is that there should be a large gathering of immoral people in the near future.

The conveners of this large gathering are the Demon King Leia and his gang.

However, assumptions are still assumptions after all. Up to now, Mr. Lvliu has not found any clues.

After all, the monsters in Mopolis are a group that hides their secrets. Even if they have secret connections, they can't do it openly. They must use some special and secret methods. If I put myself in their situation, I would even be timid and not communicate with other monsters - I would completely regard myself as an intelligent human.

But some monsters are also emotional creatures. They also understand loneliness, and they also yearn for companions who can understand them. Especially in this strange city, they will gradually need companions. The more people there are, the easier it is to get things done. When people are in a foreign land, they can often establish a solid relationship of trust with people from the same hometown.

They have their own secret code or list for communicating with each other.

But according to Mr. Green Willow's knowledge of the city's monsters, the monsters in Mopolis are more cautious in their words and deeds due to the active Heresy Tribunal. However, even though they have not established any contact list, they have still established a set of secret codes for communication through their own unique monster culture.

But unfortunately, the so-called secret code can be called a secret code because it is based on the confidence that outsiders cannot understand it at all. As for me and Heloise who don't have any monster blood on our bodies, even if an encrypted file with a known origin is given to the three of us, we outsiders can only stare at a set of HTML language and think with Chinese logic.

After watching for less than three minutes, Heloise simply went on strike.

She threw the newspaper aside and tried to find another way. "By the way, since you think Leia and the others want to secretly gather a large number of perverts, isn't the easiest way to determine the gathering location to just capture a few monsters? If the monsters are not aware of the gathering, doesn't that mean they are not the sacrifices to summon the Demon King?"

Heloise's doubts are justified!

Instead of blindly looking for clues in newspapers and magazines, it would be a shortcut to directly find the potential monster.

But Mr. Green Willow rejected her proposal with a series of reasons.

"First, even if I'm an exorcist, monsters are not as easy to find as you think. Second, the monsters in the city are a very united group. If they have established a cooperative relationship with the Demon King, we may fall into their trap if we rashly go to their door to look for them. Third, I'm almost done with the decryption work."

Although the proposal was rejected, Heloise did not show any unhappiness.

"Oh! I see? Then you should work hard. I'll go downstairs and get some food."

Get something to eat?

Oh! Red bean buns! Red bean buns!

Heloise's words reminded me that compared with the completely confusing text, the charm of red bean buns is obviously a hundred times stronger. I immediately followed Heloise and threw away the newspaper in my hand, and forced Sora, who was working hard, to sneak to the kitchen on the first floor. Mr. Green Willow also wisely adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards our laziness.

For those who go out to work, the most discouraging thing is often the unreasonable arrangements made by their superiors.

Especially the kind that will find something for you to do as soon as they see you have nothing to do. It's like buying a voodoo doll and hanging it up to curse you. Please! The reason why we seem to be idle is not because we have little work, but because we are working hard. You just finished the four-stroke medley and you asked people to swim the 200-meter freestyle? Do you think everyone is Phelps?

Of course, you have your own way of keeping time, and I have my own way of getting over the wall. Don't the bosses think we have nothing to do all day? Then we will pretend to be very busy, so busy that you have to hire a few more employees to help share the business. Then we will be happy to have some free time, only do half the work, and get a normal salary. It's so beautiful no matter how you think about it──

Hmm, it's a beautiful thought. Now even our Stone House has to write employee evaluation forms after seeing the business. Under the data-based management system, pretending to be busy is no longer feasible in many places. In order to achieve twice the result with half the effort these days, you have to be smarter and take good care of every relationship link.

Wait! We are the major shareholder now, why would we want to use these little tricks?

Red bean buns! Red bean buns!

My half-hungry stomach stimulated my mind to think of red bean buns. After asking Goddess Korolo for today's mana, I asked Mr. Stallone to prepare some more afternoon tea for Luliu. Anyway, although the three of us really can't help with work now, we should also show some social etiquette to show some respect──

As she watched me buy tea and snacks for Mr. Green Willow, the studious Miss Sora took notes.

"Are you studying?"

I was a little curious about her learning progress, so I asked, "Can I borrow your notes?"

"Eh?"

Sora showed a look of surprise and once again covered his face with his wings.

"Not available?"

She nodded calmly: "Well...yeah!"

"why?"

"That... because... that..."

"What's so difficult about it! Is there something to hide?

Seeing her hesitating, I smiled slyly, and the moment I said the word "difficult", I swiftly reached out and snatched the notebook from her hand. Sora immediately became flustered when her notebook was taken away. She was much taller and more powerful than me, and she wanted to get the notebook back, but she didn't dare to use excessive force against me. She looked very cute when she was dancing around.

"Miss Lannong...don't...don't..."

"Don't be so stingy, just let me take a look──"

I carried Sora on my back, using my little butt to push her against my back, and put my hands in the corner flipping through Sora's notes.

The contents of the notes are mostly about work and details. Everyone has their own way of taking notes. Sora is the type who only writes down the key points. She rarely writes more than ten words on the same thing. In addition to the text, Sora's notes also have some very cute illustrations. The cute style of the illustrations is just like──

"Uru-chan's sign language tactics class☆ is about to begin──☆ The second period! "

My mind once again floated to the sign language book written and illustrated by Berlane. Although Meng'er and the others had kept their promise and became characters in the book together, the actual effect was still that I had to play the cute role. There were even some fan books and fan fictions imitating Berlane's style of painting...

If I continue like this, I believe I will have the chance to see my own book in due course.

Looking at the cute illustrations on the notebook, I unconsciously frowned. Then, in the following notes, I found even more amazing sentences, such as: "Senior Heloise is very handsome. When teasing Mr. Green Willow, he always looks very relaxed. If he gets serious, he should be a very powerful person."

Another example:

"I finally met the legendary Miss Bai Ye! Unlike what Miss Raftan said, Miss Bai Ye herself is not kind at all, but terrifying! Mr. Midoriya was completely fooled by her! But how can I put it? Even if she is terrifying, Bai Ye-senpai is still very attractive!"

Then, what bothers me the most is the following line.

"Miss Lannong bought afternoon tea for Mr. Green Willow. They have only known each other for a short time, but they seem to be able to chat very well. Is it true that she is interested in the detective as Heloise-senpai said? By the way, the traditional love story of demon hunting novels such as Exorcist x poster girl seems to be quite good──(laughs)"

After reading the entire notebook, I scraped at Heloise fiercely.

The high elf who was secretly attacking him just stuck out his tongue innocently: "Isn't that kind of relationship?"

I glared at Sora, whose eyes were wandering, and said, "It's definitely not that kind of relationship! Do you understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

Sora nodded repeatedly, and it was unclear whether she really understood or was just pretending.

"Do I really have to find a girlfriend to prove that I don't like men?"

I let out a long sigh, and realized once again that the most difficult part of this game called life is still the love part.

Being single, I can’t afford to be hurt…

26. Low self-esteem (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

When we returned to the temporary meeting room, Mr. Lvliu drove us out with just a few simple words.

In his words, the events that follow are already too dangerous to allow us to have a role. After all, if Demon Lord Leia really wants to summon the immoral to serve as sacrifices to revive the original sin of lust, then the place where Mr. Green Willow is about to investigate is very likely to be where Demon Lord Leia himself will be found, and the reinforcements that accompany him should not be our logistics troops.

To prevent us from following them without permission, he threw all the newspapers and magazines into the stove and burned them.

He said that if there is any need for us in the future, he will contact us again at the Stone House.

We have no objection to his statement.

But I just felt itchy in my heart and wanted to witness the entire case to the end.

Among the three of us, Miss Sora was the most upset. She had always completed every task by herself, and this was probably the first time she encountered such a situation where there was no start or end. But that's what the so-called division of labor and cooperation is all about. When we lose our effectiveness in a certain link, we will naturally be abandoned for efficiency reasons.

It was a shame not to be able to see it to the end, but that's what it's like to work.

Just like that, the adventure of the three of us was suddenly interrupted.

The excitement of adventure and investigation dissipated in my heart.

Even when I was training in sign language with Lian'er, my thoughts still drifted to Saint Agatha many times. I sincerely hoped that this sacrificial woman could turn the danger into safety, and prayed that Mr. Green Willow, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his beliefs, could successfully solve the case, live safely and return to his ordinary daily life.

I heard that when he wasn't an exorcist, he was a detective on the side?

And it seems that his family also lives in Qingyun Road, so we should have many opportunities to meet in the future.

"Yes, Lian'er, you helped Sister Berlani with her work today! That's really great!"

"Aww! Aww!"

"It's amazing, but there's no candy!"

"Ah! Ugh!"

"Even kissing is not allowed! You, please stop imitating Sister Meng'er's bad habits all day long, okay?"

Under the alternating instruction of Ms. Isabella and I, Lian'er can now write some simple sentences used in daily communication, and can also communicate with me fluently using sign language. It seems that in the future, as long as we properly deal with her annoying stealing skills, we can rest assured that Lian'er can go to school alone.

but!

I won’t let Lian’er go to class!

Such a cute creature should naturally be hidden in the guild and raised secretly!

If we send her to a hellhole like the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, who knows if she will be corrupted by those naughty kids with distorted values. Moreover, since Lian'er's nutrition has kept up with her development, her face has become more and more plump. She has become more and more lovely with her three-dimensional features and delicate outlines. How can a little beauty like her go in and out of the dangerous place like the school every day?

no!no!

Lian'er must be kept in the guild.

If you want to take literature classes, our Ms. Isabella can teach hundreds of languages ​​by herself; if you want to take magic classes, our Miss Bai Ye is comparable to the library of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy; if you want to take physical education classes, Miss President and Miss Paladin are both available; as for etiquette and other miscellaneous subjects, I believe that as long as you have money, it will definitely not be a problem!

That's right! At worst, I can just sell the shares of Stone House to provide funds for Lian'er's education!

Looking at the cute gray-haired girl in front of me, I slowly pulled myself out of the feeling of loss over the saint's disappearance.

At the end of the day, no amount of adventure or achievement can compare to your family.
