However, in reality, no one can truly understand the king's internal standards regarding interests.
Many people even believe that this so-called benefit is nothing more than another form of willfulness.
It's not impossible that this god-slayer, revered as the "King of Truth," would kill her on the spot, and it would even be in the king's interest.
After all, one can execute those who fail to complete the tasks assigned to them, thus asserting one's authority.
Alternatively, she can be retained, allowing her to continue to utilize her abilities and value.
Even more so, like the Marquis of Voban's "servants of death," cruelly murdering them and turning them into slaves under one's control is also a way that serves one's interests.
Therefore, Saya Miyako was extremely uneasy about how Lu Ye intended to handle his failure.
“As I said before, I’m still somewhat interested in this guy who can escape from a well-trained magician while posing as an ‘ordinary person’.” Lu Ye’s face remained expressionless. “So, since you can’t find him, I’ll go there myself.”
"Yes, I will show you the location right away," Saya Miyako said obediently, her head bowed.
Lu Ye glanced out the window, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
It is virtually impossible for an ordinary person to escape from the clutches of several well-trained magicians.
Because, with the mindset of an ordinary person who has never been exposed to the mysterious, it is basically difficult to understand the magician's methods, let alone to counter-track them.
Therefore, those who can do this must first and foremost be extremely lucky; in other words, they are mostly people with great fortune, people loved by the world.
In other words, this is the person Lu Ye really needs to find.
Lu Ye's original purpose was only to find one person.
The rest of the extra people were just a smokescreen to cover up their true intentions and prevent others from knowing them.
Now, the person with great destiny in this world that Lu Ye was looking for has stepped forward on his own.
Therefore, he naturally didn't need to go through the motions of checking each item one by one; he could simply skip the rest of the unnecessary steps and get straight to the point.
Normally, he will complete even the most troublesome tasks if necessary.
He would omit even the simplest things if they were unnecessary.
Since Lu Ye had already achieved his goal, he was naturally quite happy to be able to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
"As for the punishment you deserve for your own mistakes—"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Saya Miyako, whose face was tense.
He was already used to the feeling of having the power of life and death over others.
If he wanted to, even if he killed the person in front of him on the spot to vent his displeasure, or even sank the island nation to the bottom of the sea, no one would dare to say a bad word about him to his face.
However, Lu Ye's habit has always been to extract as much profit as possible.
"I have no interest in spending too much time and energy on this small island of Japan," Lu Ye said calmly, his tone brimming with composure.
Anyone who hears his tone will subconsciously sense that what he is saying comes from the heart.
"I originally thought that as long as I stepped on this clod of earth, which seemed to be able to sink into the seabed, you would give up all resistance. But now, I feel that some people seem to have a very poor sense of my power and destructiveness. Compared to Italy, or rather Eastern Europe, I must say that you are indeed extremely rebellious."
"Of course, I have no interest in what you are thinking. All I need is for you to faithfully carry out the tasks I give you."
"If I determine that the benefits you can bring me are less than the prestige gained from the sinking of a nation—"
"So, I think you know very well what I would do at that time, right?"
Lu Ye spoke with a bright smile on his face.
Just like the innocent smile on the face of a child who is poking at ants and insects on the ground with a twig.
There was no explicit punishment for her mistake.
However, it cruelly bound her to the heavy cross of morality.
According to the person in front of her, for the sake of "righteousness," what she needed to do was "to use the resources of Japan to win the heart of the Demon King."
For an heir raised by a typical Japanese wealthy family—
"I understand." She lowered her head and answered with difficulty, feeling only bitterness in her mouth.
Lu Ye chuckled lightly, and his figure vanished instantly.
"That's where we lost track of them."
Lu Ye placed one foot on a high wall, looking down at the people coming and going below, and gently patted the dust off his knees.
Near the main gate, there is a sign that reads "Private Chengnan Academy".
"Then let me find out who that guy really is—"
Lu Ye was smiling and talking with great interest when suddenly a strange feeling came from afar.
That was his magical power, though it was far inferior to his, it could still be considered to be on par with his.
Moreover, it was a familiar curse power, one I had encountered before, belonging to the Godslayer.
"Why are you getting involved at a time like this?"
A dangerous smile appeared on Lu Ye's face as he looked in the direction from which the cursed energy was emanating.
"Since you're here, then, whether this was your intention or not—"
"Elsa's Bizarre Adventure is about to get its sixth installment!"
Chapter 141 The Old Woman Pretending to Be Young!
"What rude and barbaric fellows! I never expected to encounter such people among my kind during my past travels."
In a nearby bookstore, a pretty girl dressed in Indian-style clothing, wearing a headscarf and veil, complained as she tiptoed to reach for a comic book on the shelf.
Her skin was slightly brown, and she had a slender and thin figure. She appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but her eyes subtly revealed a kind of kind compassion.
Her body surface still faintly revealed the immense magical energy fluctuations that had not yet been completely concealed.
Without a doubt, this is the most troublesome god-slayer—Lady Aisha.
They possess the [Fairy Corridor], a power that even they cannot control.
It is difficult to activate when needed, but it often goes out of control when not in use, so she is sent back to the past, forcing her to take a series of trips.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for someone to suddenly and inexplicably end up in a strange place or provoke troublesome people.
For example, this time, she encountered a former god-slayer in the past, and after a long and arduous journey, she was finally able to wait for the [Fairy Corridor] to activate again and return to this world.
"Finally back in this world, let's first take a look at the comic I've been following—"
Although she was a little unhappy just now, because of her optimistic nature, she quickly put her depressed mood behind her.
It was probably precisely because of this unrestrained and optimistic personality that she was able to leave both Marquis Voban and the leader of the Luohao Cult helpless.
Suddenly, her slender fingers, which were turning the pages of the comic book in her hand, paused slightly, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
I didn't notice anything unusual, but a bad feeling suddenly came over me.
This feeling was quite rare for her.
Because of her innate good fortune, although she often faced situations that put her in a rather embarrassing state, she rarely encountered any truly major crises.
Almost instinctively, she closed her eyes slightly and prayed softly.
"Even the virtuous suffer misfortune before the fruits of their good deeds ripen; when the fruits of their good deeds ripen, they will receive good fortune. The virtuous deserve good fortune, and the wicked deserve misfortune. Until you escape this place and are safe, please grant me your protection!"
During her flower-growing journey, Lady Elsa was forced to fight against the disobedient Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and thus managed to seize power from him.
Almost the instant she finished casting the spell, she sensed the magical power rising up behind her.
The next moment, a dazzling white star seemed to appear in the distance.
The intense, platinum-gold light shone brightly, like countless dazzling bolts of lightning.
Lu Ye stood on a rooftop in the distance, holding a short sword that shimmered with a white-gold divine light.
Completely disregarding the fact that it was broad daylight and the unrelated people nearby, he unleashed his power without restraint.
Although Lady Elsa is known as having the lowest direct combat ability among the Godslayers, she is the most troublesome one.
Both the incredible luck and the mysterious fairy corridors are extremely difficult to deal with.
If we're not careful, she might slip away.
Under these circumstances, Lu Ye naturally wouldn't have the time to take care of ordinary people nearby, or even think about avoiding the city.
Although he had said he was trying his best to do so, it was only a kind of leeway.
Countless bolts of lightning were released from the white star overhead and fell upon the bookstore, which housed many ordinary people.
Then, amidst the thousands upon thousands of blazing lightning bolts, Lady Aisha's figure was completely engulfed.
"Thud." Lu Ye gracefully leaped down from the rooftop of the tall building beneath him, his expression indifferent.
The white star released from the savior's sword above his head still hung high, and lightning flashed constantly on the white-gold dagger in his hand.
Within the area struck by lightning, Lady Aisha's figure had completely vanished.
Were they completely destroyed by lightning?
This idea was rejected in an instant.
Lu Ye did not believe that the Godslayer would be so easy to kill.
Moreover, at the moment the lightning struck, he clearly felt the magical power rising from Lady Aisha's body, indicating that she had used her power at a crucial moment.
"Who are you? How dare you ambush a beautiful girl from behind? Is this power meant to kill me?"
A furious shout filled with resentment rang out.
A human-shaped, seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky amidst the clouds.
The light slowly drifted down to the earth, transforming upon landing into the god-slayer who was dressed in typical Indian attire and claimed to be a beautiful girl.
Although she has always been a mild-mannered person, it's impossible for her to be happy when she was almost killed in a sneak attack for no reason.
Just as the divine lightning struck, Lady Aisha's [Fairy Corridor] activated instantly, allowing her to evade Lu Ye's attack.
The reason why the previously uncontrollable [Fairy Corridor] could take effect at this time is largely due to the power she used earlier, [Saint's Blessing].
This power can grant Lady Elsa a lucky blessing, but it only takes effect when Lady Elsa vows to do good deeds and prays to accomplish them. It will grant Lady Elsa good fortune and bring misfortune to those who stand in her way.
The power of luck can even be linked to the time-correcting force, forcibly opening the [Fairy Corridor].
Lu Ye was not surprised by this result.
Whether this attack would be effective depended entirely on whether Lady Elsa could respond appropriately under the power of the saint's protection.
"You actually dared to ask who I am?" Lu Ye sneered, holding the counterfeit Savior Blade in his hand.
It must be said that the Last King's weapon is quite easy to use.
Moreover, it also possesses considerable power.
Lu Ye casually flicked the Savior Blade in his right hand, glancing at Lady Elsa, who looked sullen and angry.
Then, he spoke softly.
"You old woman who pretends to be young, you even destroyed the place where I lived before, have you already forgotten?"
"It's you!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Aisha's expression tightened immediately, her eyes widened slightly in fear, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing her like this, Lu Ye immediately raised his eyebrows slightly.
Even when facing the cult leader Luo Hao and Marquis Voban, this optimistic fellow in front of him was able to get along with them.
Why do we harbor such obvious fear and hostility when facing ourselves?
While he was pondering this question, a thick book appeared in Lu Ye's left hand.
P.S.: I'm rereading the novel... and I can't remember a lot of things. Maybe I should just let loose?
Chapter 142 A bully extorts money from a cute girl on the street!
"Ah, I see. Hmm, I remember now."
Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, a guilty look immediately appeared on Madam Aisha's face.
Having just emerged from the Fairy Corridor, I was looking for a place to stay.
