I have a hero simulator

When he got closer, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the sword ghost, old man Wilhelm. With the keenness of a seasoned swordsman, he sensed the terrifying power in the body of the silver-haired man with the giant scythe.

Today, Shen Yuan is still in the form of Shadow Assassin Kayn, but he has changed into the skin of [Soulbringer].

Wearing light silver armor and with long silver-white hair tied into a ponytail, he has an indescribable sense of elegance and handsomeness. Of course, he looks more like an elegant god of death. The sickle is wrapped in cloth strips, but it still cannot conceal its sharpness and can still absorb people's souls. The 'eye' of the sickle handle sparkles with the light of the bright moon, as if it stores some huge power.

"I can't believe Lord Kayn actually came to attack the White Whale, meow!"

"It's just by the way. Anyway, let me meet your master first."

Shen Yuan didn't come here for the white whale, but since he happened to encounter it, he might as well get rid of it.

His purpose was to find Crusch.

As a candidate for the royal election, Crusch possesses certain strength.

If she were elected king, the country would not be in great shape, but it would certainly not be as bad as the other three.

That’s right, in Shen Yuan’s eyes, both Emilia and Firut are “bad” types.

Of course, you just need to know this yourself. Saying it out loud will definitely hurt people.

But even Crusch is not a perfect candidate. She has shortcomings. She relies on her own strength and her personality is full of arrogance.

When Anastasia asked the captain to skip the introduction of the King's Choice, Crusch, as the head of Karlsten, also agreed, and even said frankly that he had understood that the purpose of holding this party was to hold a banquet.

She said such words without considering her own status at all. She was really not calm enough.

Such arrogance and disregard for etiquette will only arouse disgust in modern society. People with real strength are often low-key, such as Reinhardt and Kayn (Shen Yuan). For him, strength is only a means to achieve a goal, not a weapon to show off.

If he wanted to show off, Shen Yuan would have transformed into a Darkin and started killing everyone in the royal city, but that would have been a lot less fun.

Besides, why would you destroy someone else's country for no reason?

He is not that madman, Sword Demon Aatrox.

Among the many Darkin, Rhaast, who was sealed in the scythe, also retained a trace of humanity and conscience.

Moreover, Rhaast has a straightforward personality and is even a little humble. He often chats and talks with Kayn, and is considered one of the Darkin who is easier to get along with.

"I'm very uneasy about the white whale appearing at this time, but since you're here, please come in!"

Old Sword Ghost Wilhelm looked a little excited. He bowed to Shen Yuan and then turned aside.

For fourteen years, all he thought about day and night was personally defeating the white whale that killed his beloved wife.

Now, his long-cherished wish finally has the chance to come true, and no one is happier than him.

"Well, let me see the head of the Duke of Ersten's family, the so-called beauty in men's clothing."

"What do you mean, meow~? Are you planning on my master?"

Cat-eared girl Felix looked at Shen Yuan warily.

"In the current state of a country where the royal bloodline has been severed, your master is the closest noble to royalty. The entire family has a long history of involvement in the running of the state, and therefore holds the highest prestige among the kingdom's civil servants. It would be beneficial for me to learn about this potential candidate for the royal selection in advance."

After saying that, Shen Yuan said hello to Felix 957s and followed Wilhelm into Crusch's mansion.

As if she was afraid that her master would be kidnapped, the cat-eared transvestite Felix hurriedly followed and entered the hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the neatly dressed Crusch and his attendants standing beside him.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Kain. I've heard a lot about you."

Crusch smiled and stood up. He walked over to shake hands with Kayn, the Scythe God of Death, and said, "I heard that you came here with the intention of conquering the White Whale, is that correct?"

"The white whale isn't our main goal. But since we've encountered it, let's deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Crusch was intrigued. "Oh? Is there anything more worth discussing right now than the White Whale? I believe your strength will greatly guarantee victory in this upcoming battle. But what is your reason for wanting to form an alliance?"

Another purpose of this expedition against the White Whale is to gain stronger support for Subaru's next election as king.

She did good things and saved the people and merchants of an area.

These people will naturally canvass votes for her and gain a lot of public support and reputation, consolidating her position as a seed player.

But in the final analysis, it is all about becoming king.

"also."

After inviting Shen Yuan to sit down, Crusch continued, "Although your Excellency is powerful, alliances between forces are related to the equal distribution of benefits. From my current perspective, Emilia's power is not equal to ours. Although your Excellency's strength is enough to compete with the Sword Saint, you are ultimately only one person. Even if you defeat the White Whale, it would be unfair to share the spoils equally."

Crusch's meaning was very clear.

You can join the team to fight against the white whale!

You can also fight white whales!

But splitting the spoils? Sorry, no!

"Hahahaha!"

Shen Yuan was amused by Crusch. It turned out that this was this woman's biggest weakness: "arrogance".

"Why are you laughing, sir?"

Crusch frowned slightly, thinking that he was laughing at what he said.

"Perspective. Lord Crusch, your perspective is too narrow!"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Crusch didn't understand that whether it was a country or a small force, interests always came first.

"White Whale's victory is worthless to me."

Shen Yuan laughed for a moment, then paused. If it came down to arrogance, he was far more arrogant than Crusch. "But hearing this from a mortal's mouth just makes me laugh. You don't think the white whale is that powerful, do you? Or do you think a mere magical beast can rival a legendary creature?"

At this point, Shen Yuan didn't give Crusch a chance to get angry, but instead gave her something she couldn't refuse: "This is the Dune map I brought from the royal family. It records the location of the Sage's Tower. I want you to find a way to use your family's identity to enter the Sage's Tower and meet the Dragon God."

Crusch looked at the map, his eyes flickering as he demanded, "It's infuriating, but putting aside the matter of the white whale, what do you want from Shenlong?"

"Slay the dragon!"

Chapter 244: Transformed into Rhaast! The White Whale Massacre Begins!

"Slay. Dragon."

Shen Yuan didn't say it out loud, but when he saw his lip movements and mouth shape, Crusch knew what he meant.

"Madman...are you asking me to commit treason?!"

Crusch pretended to be furious.

"Hahahaha!"

"What are you laughing at again?!"

Crusch seemed really angry. She couldn't understand this guy at all.

"'The pro-dragon kingdom of Luknica doesn't belong to the dragons, it belongs to us.' I remember that being someone's campaign slogan. Am I right?"

Crusch's eyes flashed with anger as he nodded, "But I didn't say I was going to slay the dragon. In the eyes of this nation, that would be regicide!"

"Regicide? Tsk tsk. You couldn't stand the Shenlong's rule and wanted to overthrow it, but now you've acknowledged its superior status over the king."

"No... the situation is different! This kind of thing is of a serious nature. If people knew about it..."

Crusch gradually calmed down, her meaning was very clear.

Slay a dragon? Sure!

Anyone can be slaughtered.

But don't say it was me, and don't get involved with me!

Besides, it would be fine if you could beat the dragon, but what if you can't beat the dragon and end up getting yourself into trouble? She won't do such a losing deal.

"It seems you've misunderstood. Let me be frank. If you're willing to cooperate with me and form an alliance, I'll slay the dragon for you. You won't even need to mobilize a single soldier. Once the dragon falls, you can immediately seize the royal palace under the pretext of suppressing the assassin, forcing the princes and nobles to stop. Without the dragon's protection, and with the power of your private armed forces in your hands, I don't need to say who will be king, right?"

Hearing this, Crusch and Felix looked at each other, revealing expressions of obvious disbelief.

Even the sword demon Wilhelm felt terrified when he heard these words.

“But won’t the public have objections?”

To be honest, Crusch was moved. She felt that she was the most suitable one to be king, and the other candidates were just there to cause trouble.

However, she wanted to be king legitimately, not by force (mainly because she didn't have the strength to do so, and couldn't get past the Sword Saint Reinhardt).

"No. The people will only hate the criminal who killed the dragon, but will never fear someone who protects their interests."

"What about the royal family and nobles?"

"If you think they're getting in the way, then just kill them all. You're already king, do you still want to preserve the old order? A merciful army is not fit for war. If you can't bring yourself to act, contact the Assassin's Association and I'll send people for you."

"Shut up! What exactly is your purpose?!"

Crusch stood up and slammed the table. “I heard that you’re not only connected to Emilia’s faction, but also to Felt, the faction protected by the Sword Saint. What’s your purpose in provoking so many factions?”

"Hahaha!"

"I've had enough, stop laughing!"

Crusch held his head like a madman, as if he was about to draw his sword.

"There are many interests involved, but I can tell you that it's all about the Dragon's Blood."

more than!

Emilia wants dragon's blood to save the frozen village;

Roswaal wants dragon blood to revive the Witch of Greed;

Shen Yuan also wants the magic-sealing stone in the Sage Tower to be shattered, to free the Witch of Jealousy, and to obtain the witch factor in her.

The dragon is one of the guardians of the Sage Tower, and you must defeat it before you can see the Witch of Jealousy.

Since the dragon is the target to be dealt with, we have to maximize the benefits no matter what.

Dragon blood contains powerful magic that can fulfill many wishes.

After Shenlong's death, the system of king selection was abolished and the country welcomed a new emperor.

No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation.

There are actually more interests involved in this, even the Witch Cult can gain huge benefits.

So, Subaru's vision is too narrow. He only cares about her broken throne and doesn't think about whether Shenlong would allow her to overthrow his rule if he were still alive?

"Dragon's blood?"

Crusch's eyes flickered, she seemed to understand.

Dragon's blood is a sacred object of this country, and can even be said to be a national treasure. It is so important that even the king is not allowed to touch it casually. A decision must be made by the Council of Sages.

If it was for this thing, then Crusch would be much clearer.

"What Lord Kayn said is really hard to believe. To be honest, I'd like to believe it's true, but in this situation, the first priority should be to eliminate the threat of the white whale!"

Crusch expressed clear distrust, but soon, she said tactfully: "I need to confirm whether you are lying."

At this moment, the cat-eared transvestite Felix took advantage of the opportunity to speak up, "Master, I hope you can demonstrate convincing strength in the White Whale campaign. If you are strong enough to stand up to an entire army, we will agree to your terms. Of course, we have no reason to refuse an equal alliance with you."

Then, Crusch extended his hand of friendship, and Shen Yuan also reached out and held Crusch's hand, indicating that he agreed to her request.

"How do you want me to demonstrate my strength? A clean kill? Or a visually stunning massacre?"

When he said this, Shen Yuan showed a strange smile.

Hearing this, Crusch was visibly surprised, but thinking of his own strength that rivaled that of a sword master, he said, "A clean kill is certainly impressive, but if our army could witness your bravery, it would probably be more convincing. Also, are you serious? How many troops did you bring? Don't tell me you're going to fight that white whale in a one-on-one duel!"

"Tomorrow, gather your soldiers and come to the Sea of Mist. If you arrive too late, you might only see the corpse of the white whale."

After saying that, Shen Yuan picked up the sickle on the table and turned away, which was unbelievable.

The white whale is one of the three great monsters and is the infamous fog monster.

Among the three major monsters, it has the strongest frontal combat capability. It has thick skin and strong flesh, is very durable, and can clear fog and clone itself, making it very difficult to deal with.

Even if the entire expeditionary force came forward, they would not gain any advantage.

And strong men like the Sword Saint are extremely rare. Unless the capital city is in turmoil, they will not come forward to fight against this kind of monster (to avoid having their home stolen). In addition, the white whale is elusive and can fly, so ordinary people have no way to deal with it.

"Wilhelm, is what he said true?"

After watching Shen Yuan leave, Crusch sighed again and sat back at her desk. Felix and Sword Demon stood behind her.
