Guild Boss's Ambition

She is in the game.

Because she was an adult, her steps were not brisk, but she maintained a certain degree of elegance.

Miss Bai Ye is unexpectedly childish...

But in fact, judging from her appearance alone and regardless of her temperament, she is just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.

Suddenly, the girl turned her head and gave me an innocent look: "What's wrong? Why is Raftan staring at my legs? Is there something dirty on them?"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Miss Bai Ye, please don't tease me in this situation."

Miss Bai Ye blinked and asked with a smile, "So as long as we are not looking for the devil, I can tease you?"

I continued to smile bitterly: "Even if you don't want to, no one can stop you, right?"

Miss Bai Ye slowly took out her sharp knife staff and said with a smile, "It's not that no one can stop me, it's just that she has been letting me do what I want without any supervision. Therefore, Raftan, please rest assured that if this is just a game, I am not as excessive as that foxy clown."

Thinking of the girl's steps just now, I blurted out: "Is this your game now, Miss Bai Ye?"

As I asked the question, the air seemed to freeze for half a second. Miss Bai Ye's usual cold smile slightly warmed up during this moment, and she replied softly, "This is not a game, but it is not in my plan either. The powerful demon king is a variable that I must eliminate. I need a stable and sound political situation to fulfill my ideal."

Ideal? Miss Bai Ye also has her own ideal?

I asked, "Miss Bai Ye's ideal is immortality?"

The necromancer took a step towards me, and with his right hand that was not holding the staff, he held his left arm, and said softly, "The eternal life you are asking about is simply to stop the aging of the body and thus increase the life span. If we think a little more greedily, we can also make the soul immortal. However, even if we can achieve the above two, they are only a lower level of eternity."

Miss Bai Ye's skin is very white, so white that I can clearly see the lavender blood vessels beneath her skin from this distance.

Generally speaking, people have a negative impression of blood.

But the purple blood that remains still under the skin has a hint of sadness.

Miss Bai Ye has now transformed herself into a demilich, and theoretically she has achieved physical immortality.

Or has she completely transformed even her soul?

But I always feel that Miss Bai Ye’s goal is not just the body and soul.

She is a proud and confident person with a higher vision.

What kind of scenery does she want to see when she is determined to reach the top of the mountain?

I didn't ask too many questions. I always felt that these were not things I should be concerned about. People will naturally feel the distance between each other. Excessive enthusiasm will make people uncomfortable, while excessive alienation will lead to indifference. I have never been a social person who is good at judging the atmosphere, so adopting a stereotyped communication mode makes me happy and comfortable.

But today I don’t seem to need to pay special attention to the sense of distance.

Whether it was social or physical, Miss Bai Ye was very close to me today. With a faint girlish body fragrance, she asked softly, "Hey, Miss Raftan, I was asked a question a while ago. I think it's very interesting. Do you want to hear it?"

It was just an ordinary question, why did she specifically ask for my opinion?

I politely responded, "Yes, go ahead."

"We'll go in from the back."

Miss Bai Ye took my arm and led me to turn 90 degrees, from the main entrance of the ruins to the back door at another street corner, and then she said the question: "The question is very simple, it just asks whether we like and are satisfied with this world, and also, what do you think is worth improving in this world."

I thought about it quickly and felt that this problem was not as simple as Bai Ye said.

I mumbled in reply: "This question...is hard to answer..."

Miss Bai Ye chuckled mischievously and asked, "Like it? Or don't you like it?"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head, "Is this a question that can be explained by dualism?"

Miss Bai Ye continued to sarcastically say: "If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You are such an indecisive woman."

However, I am not the kind of person who would just stand there and take a beating without fighting back. Even though I am not good at it, I still have to fight back occasionally and show off my sharp tongue: "What about you, Miss Bai Ye? What is your answer?"

"do not know."

"I don't know, but isn't that the same as me?"

Just when I thought I was about to successfully fight back against Miss Bai Ye, she suddenly changed the subject: "That's how I answered at first, but when I went home and thought about it carefully, I found that I really hated this world. But, in the final analysis, the first answer and the second answer are not contradictory to each other."

"Because the world of the first answer is the world of the highest level, and the world of the second answer is the world of the lower level?"

Hearing my question, Miss Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of a theology major! Even without a detailed explanation, Raftan, you can clearly understand my thoughts. If it were you, I believe you would be able to find a better answer than anyone else - the answer that belongs exclusively to the Merciful."

The answer? The answer of the compassionate one?

What with what...

I couldn't help shaking my head again: "I could understand it before, but now I don't understand it anymore."

Miss Bai Ye smiled happily and loosened her hand on my arm. "You don't need to understand these for now. The most important thing to deal with right now is the trouble with Demon King Leia. It seems that this ruin should be safe, but for safety reasons, I still suggest that you stay fully armed, Raftan. If necessary, you can abandon me and run away first."

Miss Bai Ye’s heartwarming words immediately touched me.

"I will fight alongside you, Miss Bai Ye, until the end."

"Silly child, I never thought of dying here."

Miss Bai Ye shook her head in a helpless manner, and directly cast a weak and non-dazzling flash spell, and took the lead in walking into the interior of the virtual ruins.

The water world was damaged in a similar way to the stone house a while ago. It was also crushed by the rocks thrown by the mountain stone people. But unlike the stone house, the rocks that fell on the water world were much larger. Even though some of the rocks had been broken up before landing, they still caused irreparable damage to more than 70% of the entire guild's building structure.

The collapsed water world seemed like a maze. I followed Miss Bai Ye to the third floor, stepping on the uneven building wreckage. Looking from a high place, there were many old things left by adventurers everywhere. Beds, wine tables, glass bottles and other common things in the adventurer's guild were scattered all over the ground, forming a sad scene.

"did you find it?"

In a bedroom-like location on the third floor, we found Miss Lynn who had gone ahead.

She was holding a white coat in her hand at the moment, and when she noticed us coming, she gave a playful smile.

"Why didn't Demon King Leia store this dress in his space ring?"

"Is this the Saint's clean clothes?!" I quickly recognized the clothes and was very surprised.

Miss Bai Ye seemed to know more about this dress than I did: "The saint's pure dress has the power to resist monsters and undead. Now the ring of Demon King Leia should contain the magic energy extracted from monsters. In order to prevent the energy of the two items from conflicting with each other, he must place them separately. But what really concerns me are these two clothes."

While speaking, Miss Bai Ye took out two short skirts, one red and one blue, from the closet.

"Why didn't Demon King Leia eliminate the traces of these two clothes?" Miss Bai Ye asked solemnly.

"Do you think it's a trap?" Miss Lynn asked as she examined her appearance in the dressing mirror in her room.

"I don't know, but I have an uneasy feeling. It's better to get things done quickly and run away as soon as possible."

Miss Bai Ye shook her head, then turned the pointed bone staff in her hand upside down and began to carve a rune array on the ground. However, before she finished drawing a perfect circle, she stopped because of something Miss Lin En said.

The black-clothed fox girl pulled out two daggers from her waist and assumed a graceful and seductive fighting posture, ready to go.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bai Ye, I don't have enough time to prepare appetizers for you."

"Although I was prepared, you are really daring!"

Miss Bai Ye rarely showed a helpless smile, then patted my buttocks and whispered in my ear: "No matter what happens later, you must protect yourself first. Don't try to be a hero. There are tall people to hold up the sky if it collapses. The military will help deal with things that the Temple of Light cannot stop. After tracing it to this point, the incident is almost clear."

Following Miss Bai Ye's instructions, footsteps that did not belong to the three of us slowly sounded in the silent ruins. The footsteps were so light that even though I hadn't seen her in person, I could still see her elegant steps. Finally, like the dawn, her picturesque figure quietly appeared in our sight.

"Saint Agatha..."

Even though I had never seen her portrait, I recognized her identity at the first sight.

……

……

48. The End (Raftan)

(Raftan-Fritts)

"Saint Agatha..."

I murmured in reverence to the figure, but I also remained alert.

At this moment, she doesn't know whether she is the saint we know, or the demon king Leia we reject.

As the three of us were on high alert, she walked towards us generously, and then sat down at the table illuminated by the red moon outside the window. Her appearance was not as beautiful as rumored, but she had an indescribable temperament, with blonde hair and blue eyes, like the stained glass mosaics in the church, full of noble mystery.

In this strange atmosphere, Miss Lynn was the first to speak.

"who are you?"

"I'm Agatha."

The blonde girl answered with a smile, her brows as kind as an old lady's.

Miss Lynn asked suspiciously, "Where's the evidence?"

The blonde girl reached out and picked up the clean clothes that Lin En had casually dropped on the ground. She slowly said, "The evidence is on these clothes, the evidence is on those paintings, and the evidence is in various places. I left a flaw so that you could find me, but it's too late now. In the end, there were unnecessary sacrifices."

"What does sacrifice mean?"

Lynn asked without relenting, “You’re not being controlled by Leia?”

The blonde girl calmly replied, "He is still the one who controls this body, but as he influences me, I also influence him. The moonlight magic tonight has consumed a lot of his strength. Now is the best time for you to take me back and imprison me. From this moment on, you have about ten minutes."

Although they were told that they only had ten minutes left, Lin En and Bai Ye remained motionless.

Lynn continued to confirm cautiously and asked, "What is Demon Lord Leia's plan?"

The blonde girl shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't say anything about this. He affects me."

Hearing this, Lin En glanced at Miss Bai Ye. Seeing that the Necromancer did not show any reaction, he walked closer to Saint Agatha and said in a cold voice, "For safety, I will knock you down and use all methods to make you lose the ability to resist. Will he influence you and make you resist us?"

"I don't know, you can try."

Saint Agatha smiled and nodded calmly, as if no matter how painful the trial was, it could not shake her faith.

Lynn moved quickly, taking a step forward, and before I knew it, I saw Saint Agatha falling into her arms.

The next moment, Miss Bai Ye also stepped forward and began to take more solid defensive measures against the unconscious girl. She locked the saint with magic-proof handcuffs and fed her some drugs of unknown effect. Miss Bai Ye even stripped off all the jewelry and clothes on the saint's body. In the end, she simply used a tablecloth to wrap the saint's lamb-like tender body.

After taking all the precautions, I finally remembered the most crucial thing.

"Ms. Bai Ye, Ms. Lin En, where do you plan to take the Saint Lady next?"

Although I had already made up my mind, I still tried to confirm their thoughts with my own ears. If I was not mistaken, this fox girl named Lynn should be from the military system. Judging from the military's usual way of doing things, they will not return our Saint Agatha to the Church, but will take another approach to deal with her in private.

At that moment, Miss Lin En gave me the answer I didn't want to hear: "I will bring her back to my superiors. You can tell your Pope everything you saw and heard today. Remember, apart from the Pope, you'd better not say anything to anyone else. Otherwise, even if you are from Bai Ye, I will eliminate all unstable variables, understand?"

"I am a believer of the God of Light, and so is Saint Agatha."

Even though I knew I had no chance of winning, I still couldn't help but stand in front of Lady Agatha to prevent Lynn from getting any closer.

Since the Saint was able to bravely sacrifice herself to seal the devil for the sake of the people, we should also stand up to her when she is in danger today. This is the moral obligation of being a human being and the only way to be completely virtuous and good.

In fact, my position may not necessarily fail, as the remaining Miss Bai Ye has not yet made an official statement.

only……

Miss Bai Ye is a typical pragmatist.

Lin En and I both turned our attention to Miss Bai Ye──

Miss Bai Ye forced out a bitter smile. "Raftan, I also hope to stand on your side this time, but please give me an answer, a guarantee that can prevent similar incidents from happening again. From my point of view, the military has a better way than the Church to eliminate the threat of Demon King Leia to the city of Mopolis."

I disagreed and shouted, "I also know the military's calculations. If we just hand over the Saint Lady, she will definitely be treated very harshly. She will be studied without dignity and will be regarded as a mere trouble by those people in the military. But in fact, she is a great person who saved the people. She should never be treated so rudely."

At this time, Miss Lin En retorted, "You, the Temple of Light, first gave her the title of Saint, and then earnestly persuaded her to die and sacrifice herself. In the final analysis, your spiritual morality is just a distorted thinking caused by material needs. Why can't you be more frank and solve this matter in a more direct way?"

what……

What does it mean to persuade a saint to die with earnest words?

What does she regard the Saint Lady’s enlightenment as?

"If the spirit is really dominated by matter, how could we let the Saint Lady disappear today! If the spirit is really dominated by matter, aren't we the same as you? If you don't understand our sentiments, then don't pretend to be superior! Your arrogance will become food for the devil, and your laziness will become a breeding ground for the devil. It is you who let the devil come into this world!"

“Oh my—”

Lin En laughed softly with her hands covering her mouth after my excited rebuttal. She glanced at Bai Ye and said with a smile, "As expected of the toy you chose, she is as stubborn as a rock. But no matter how nicely she speaks, I still can't go against her will. So, before the conflict, please make your position clear first, Miss Bai Ye."

Hearing this, Miss Bai Ye slowly walked to my side and gently held my right hand holding the sword.

A feeling of numbness spread throughout my body.

When I looked again, I saw that the Saint Lady on the table had been taken away by Lin En, and only Bai Ye and I were left at the scene.

I asked with tears in my eyes: "Why...why?"

Miss Bai Ye stared at me coldly and said calmly: "Raftan, you can easily shed tears for a stranger, but I can't. I don't have your mercy in my heart. My judgment is that the disadvantages of fighting far outweigh the advantages. All your struggles just now were in vain. Agatha will be brought here in the end, and no one will be moved by it."

Miss Bai Ye’s words make sense, but I still have a different opinion from her.
