The demon monk in the second dimension

If it were Erica, she would definitely puff out her chest obediently and say sweet words like "Then can Your Majesty help me?" to seduce Xia Zhi.

It is precisely this "pursuit" and "authenticity" that sets her apart from most female characters in anime and manga that makes her seem both cunning and manipulative.

Of course, Godo, who keeps saying "no, no" and seems like a silly, strong, and sweet trash who has been manipulated by Erika, also has a share of the responsibility.

Unlike some unlucky old man who's good at picking up girls, he's earned all the girls with his life on the line.

Everyone who sees him praises him as a "good man"!

……

The audience with the seven sisters was rather unremarkable.

There was not a single conflict throughout the entire process. They knelt down upon seeing Xia Zhi and responded to whatever he said.

The only interesting thing was that when they arrived at the Summer Solstice, they were surprised to find that the Sage Council's Chairperson, Princess Alice, was also there.

After giving the seven sisters orders to unify the European magic world in their own name, Xia Zhi then dismissed them.

He wasn't interested in a group of grown men.

Takatsuki Sen found magic very interesting, and Natsumi asked Erica and Liliana to teach her.

So, only Xia Zhi and Princess Alice remained in the hall.

Unlike her previous appearance as a spirit, this time Princess Alice appeared in her own body, seated in a wheelchair.

Her butler, Ericsson, was not granted permission to see her and was kept out of the room, where he was received by a man with a bronze black cross.

Sitting in her wheelchair, Alice gave a slightly pale smile and apologized to Xia Zhi in a weak voice lacking strength.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my body is simply not fit to bow to you."

"This is a trivial matter."

As soon as Xia Zhi raised his hand, Alice's wheelchair slid right in front of him.

He stroked his chin and gave Alice a cryptic smile.

"How many people left the Council of Sages after you announced that it would join my ranks?"

Alice's heart skipped a beat, but she answered calmly on the surface.

“I’ve been busy organizing the data collected by the Council of Sages and haven’t paid attention to this matter recently.”

"Is it that you didn't notice, or that you didn't want to notice?"

As soon as Xia Zhi uttered those words, which were tinged with a half-smile, the atmosphere in the hall immediately fell silent.

Even without using magic to spy, Xia Zhi understood Alice's thoughts.

"Do you think I'm a vicious demon king who kills anyone who refuses to work for me?"

He gave a mocking look.

(ˇ_ˇ)

"If many ants walk through your park today, would you care how many ants don't come tomorrow?"

Princess Alice simply smiled at this.

Your actions—first killing Marquis Voban, then the Sword King, and then challenging the Black Prince to a duel, forcing him to flee—are remarkable.

Any ordinary magician would be afraid!

"Half of it was mind-reading, and half was my own guess," Xia Zhi said to Alice with a slight smile.

"Isn't this also partly the intention of the royal families of various countries? Do they want to retain a portion of their own magical power? Originally, the Council of Sages was supported by them to secretly fight against the Godslayer. Now that the Council of Sages wants to pledge allegiance to me, they will naturally withdraw this part of their power. I don't care."

He waved his hand, crossed his legs, and said "not caring"ly.

"It's just that the Balkans are quite a distance from both Britain and France. If any of those two countries have a disobedient god, it might take me ten days to half a month to get there. I sincerely hope that the magicians they've transferred away can hold on."

Alice: (￣.￣)

Is this what you mean by "not caring at all"?

Once the disobedient gods have destroyed England and France, of course they won't care anymore!

Doesn't that mean letting them fend for themselves?

Aside from god-slayers, there is currently no reliable way to fight against disobedient gods!

Ordinary people can't even see the gods who don't obey them!

Most importantly, attacks without the power of incantation are like attacking thin air when facing a disobedient god; they simply cannot hit the target.

They seemed to exist in reality.

Even dropping nuclear bombs on a god who doesn't obey you won't help!

But disobedience to the gods can cause harm to reality.

That's why magic societies bow down and worship whenever they see a god-slayer.

That makes sense!

A disobedient god is like an unsolvable nuclear bomb walking in the world!

Only nuclear weapons can counter nuclear weapons!

But Princess Alice had nothing to say.

Indeed, Xia Zhi is right.

Britain and France were previously the two countries that provided the strongest support for the Wise Men Parliament.

However, after their forces withdrew, the Council of Sages was nearly a third empty.

It's unclear how many of the remaining people are informants.

It can only be said that while they understood the threat posed by the Godslayer, they did not understand its importance.

Seeing that Alice remained silent, Xia Zhi rose from the throne and took a few steps forward.

He grasped Alice's wrist and infused her with a large amount of life force.

Alice's body was so weak because the immense spiritual energy had drained her life force.

Xia Zhi could sense that the other person had 20% less blood than a normal person.

It's no wonder that the body can't move freely if it's constantly in a state of blood deficiency!

With the replenishment of her vitality, Alice's complexion immediately became rosy.

At the same time, Xia Zhi gently pulled Alice up from her wheelchair.

"Let's dance."

He snapped his fingers, and the music that had been prepared in the hall began to play.

Holding Alice's hand, the two danced three dances in the empty hall to the music.

Summer Solstice lowered her head and whispered to Alice.

I really like this saying: "I can bear the darkness, provided I have never seen the light."

So, what are you willing to give up for this?

Alice's cheeks flushed with a healthy rosy hue from the exercise.

She hadn't danced in years.

“I hereby surrender my body and soul, that of Alice Louise Of Nafar, to the King. Please allow me, in my humble form, to offer myself as your bedmate.”

She completely abandoned her unnecessary pride and insisted on sticking close to Xia Zhi, speaking with a happy yet shy tone.

"But I'll have to wait a while before having a baby. I'm not mentally ready to be a mother yet."

Chapter 169 Playing Mahjong and Sardinia

Seeing Alice's unwavering willingness to become his woman, Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "She truly deserves to be the Speaker of the Council of Wise Men."

She is not just someone who is "one of the most powerful witches in the world".

Just like Yuri Mariya.

Having power that doesn't match one's own capacity will only lead to being used as a weapon.

Perhaps this world, which is constantly being destroyed by disobedient gods, is so tragic that most people have no choice but to become realistic.

The disobedient gods and countless destroyed cities have proven time and again that naivety will die.

A god who does not obey can only be opposed by a god-slayer.

Therefore, mortals cannot fight against the god-slayer and can only worship him as a demon king.

These are rules and ironclad laws that have been in effect for hundreds of years.

Xia Zhi doesn't dislike this reality.

However, this was also because Alice was physically weak for many years and was almost bedridden.

Faced with an irresistible demon king, and given the chance to gain an unprecedentedly healthy body, what reason did she have to refuse?

……

It was the same guest room, with Takatsuki Izumi still in the room, and Erica and Liliana still in the next room.

(300,000 words omitted here)

The next day, the two girls next door, with faint dark circles under their eyes, began their workday.

……

Ericsson, as Princess Alice's butler, had mixed feelings about the Demon King.

On the one hand, she was happy that Princess Alice had a healthy body.

On the other hand, she felt that the price was a bit too high.

However, the atmosphere in Europe is relatively open.

When the Demon King set his sights on the Council of Sages, she was already prepared for the princess to be defiled by him.

Ericsson never expected that it would encounter such a thing!

"Your Highness, this, I..."

Under Xia Zhi's amused gaze, Princess Alice restrained Ericsson's hands, her face showing a tearful expression.

"Ericsson, the Demon King is really terrifying! Please help me!"

Even though Ericsson knew the other party was faking it, he still couldn't do anything about Princess Alice's coquettish act.

Her heart softened, and she nodded.

"No problem, Your Highness!"

Then the four of them started playing mahjong, making a clattering sound.

"Draw a card!"

"eat!"

"bump!"

"Bar!"

"Winning on the draw!"

"Fire!"

(400,000 words have been cut here)

……

"Something's not right, something's not right!"

After listening to the sound of mahjong tiles all night, Erica was completely bewildered.

At first, she thought that the king had something on his mind about placing her and Liliana by his side.

As a result, not only has Princess Alice surpassed her, but even her butler has done so?

Could it be that we are only guarding the king's sides because of our status as "knights"?
