The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Some of the goddess of magic's chosen ones did not leave; instead, they engaged in lively discussions about their own understanding.

In conclusion, the divine office is both a duty that gods must bear and an obsession that gods themselves pursue.

They are closely related to the power of the k, and they are in a symbiotic relationship with the k.

Maginus needs to define her responsibilities; as the Child of Slaughter and the Child of Fear, she actually has many choices.

But the legendary mage Zodrin also had concerns: the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear were not completely dead, but were only severely injured and asleep.

If someone were to choose a path of killing and terror, it might actually cause the Ks to awaken prematurely due to the power of faith, possess their bodies, and then be resurrected.

If he were to enter the town of Maginos, Maginos's situation would become very troublesome.

Perhaps, just like how we initially created conflict among the K's wills, we could let the K fight over our bodies, and then reap the benefits.

But the more likely outcome is that his body will be destroyed by the Ks, and then the Ks will go find other people.

To avoid this, Maginus needed to find a new path, one that was not evil enough and was closely related to these religious duties.

Chapter 332 Changes

The research records documented the changes in the death priesthood of another prime material plane, which gave Maginus some inspiration.

The evil former God of Death, the Lord of Bones, K, is more inclined towards evil and the dead. He is willing to let more undead creatures appear on the continent and also allows his followers to use spells that summon corpses and the dead.

K spreads fear and increases people's dread, making intelligent undead creatures such as liches and vampires willing to worship K.

Therefore, his death was more likely to be that of an undead being, and his divine office included immortality.

Next came the transitional deity between the two death gods, the Lord of Bones and the Sleeper. The legendary mage didn't have many records of K; he only knew that the transitional death god was even more evil and chaotic than the Lord of Bones.

The Lord of Bones merely wanted more undead creatures to appear on the continent, while the Excessive God of Death actively created more undead creatures, enjoying the continuous death and fall of the living.

Even the lich refused to cooperate with his chaos; his death was directed at all things, and his divine authority was tainted with destruction.

Next up is the Sleeper who came to this main universe. He cares more about the living than the dead, and his alignment is more inclined towards good.

The Sleeper's thoughts were gentle and calm, and his attitude toward the undead was completely different from that of the Bone Lord, who was entirely unwilling for them to appear on the Material Plane.

His death leaned towards humanity, and his priesthood included a period of slumber.

Maginus decided to start from here: the god of death is after death, the god of fear is before death, and the god of slaughter is the action that causes death.

She looked at the words written in her notebook, wanting to try a different approach, to find a path that no one had taken in the face of death, killing, and fear.

Vitality, the passing of life, moving towards death, entering slumber, from birth to death...

Recalling her repeated brushes with death and her eventual escape from it, the girl crafted a Nen Blade, reminiscing about the feeling of using it to devour souls.

"Huff... Slaughter... Death"

Rubbing her temples, Maginus decided to put aside the part about the god of fear for now; she didn't have any good ideas about fear and tyranny at the moment.

As for killing, she has already tentatively locked onto her future inclinations, temporarily transferring her power as the God of Slaughter to death.

Before death, at the time of death, after death.

She couldn't fully grasp the subjective act of killing, so Maginos chose to extract the objective process from the subjective act.

Death represents "the objective process of life moving towards death" or "death that is constantly approaching".

It encompasses a much broader scope than mere killing; life leads to death, including disease, killing, and even natural death from old age.

Of course, a young girl couldn't possibly take such a big step; her path, at most, was caused by illness, killing, or natural death—"the moment she was about to step into death."

It was just a preliminary plan, and Maginus didn't know if she could succeed. She could only take it one step at a time.

As for tyranny and fear... perhaps they can be transformed into power and awe?

Lying in bed, flipping through books and making various guesses and organizing, Nei Ke, who had just finished showering, crawled into the covers while shivering. She peeked out from under the covers at the girl and glanced at her notes.

Unable to shake off her wild nature, she still disliked reading. Seeing that she couldn't understand what she was reading, she shrank back under the covers, hugged Maginos, and closed her eyes.

After putting the notebook back into her dimensional bag, Maginus raised her hand to turn off the magic lamp, closed her eyes, and entered a light sleep state, ready to get up at the slightest disturbance.

Two days later, she received a message from the Setilor Adventurers, inviting her to the inn, which had been booked by various groups that had come for Maginus, to talk.

At exactly 2:00 noon, "Ilsis" arrived on time and saw two low-ranking professionals standing guard outside the hotel.

After showing the envelope, Maginos entered the hotel without any trouble; there seemed to be no security measures in place.

Subconsciously wanting to spread her life force and spiritual energy, she was just about to make a move when she seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction.

A man was tossing a dagger up and down, emanating a faint aura of spiritual energy.

Have you summoned the psionicists?

Although he was of low rank, Maginus was unsure whether he could detect her actions of releasing life force and psychic energy, so she abandoned the idea of ​​life perception, walked to a corner and sat down, observing her surroundings with her naked eyes.

Many people came, including many mid-level professionals, but there wasn't a single high-level one. It was unclear whether they hadn't come or were hiding.

A high-ranking being is already capable of guarding a region. If they have leadership skills, even the kings of small border countries are no more than that. They might not have time to hunt down Maginus.

But she still prepared for the worst. The girl assumed he or they had hidden themselves and tried her best to conceal her presence to avoid being noticed by others.

"Miss Ilsis, are you going to stay here?"

"I'm not used to talking to people, and I don't talk much."

Hearing the voices behind her respond, Maginus turned around and invited the bespectacled man and his squad out of the house.

He nodded knowingly, glanced at the staff throughout the hotel, and couldn't help but sigh, "That's quite a setup. I hope everything goes smoothly."

“I think it’s difficult,” the girl said. “I don’t think an exile would stay in the city and wait for you to come and arrest him.”

"Yes, that's what I think too, but no matter what, the higher-ups have given the order, so we have no choice but to come. We have to gather some relevant information."

Captain Glasses sighed slightly, raised his chin to signal her to look at another corner, where there was a pile of parchment or white paper, covered with writing, and a group of people were sitting around it, flipping through it.

The captain continued, "They supposedly want to use information about Maginus's daily habits and other aspects to construct a model of Maginus, then simulate her behavior in order to deduce how she will act."

"That sounds good."

To put it simply, the captain was full of pessimism:

"It just sounds good. I think that princess's life before and after the fall of her kingdom should be viewed separately. Unless they can simulate her emotions at that time, it is easy to get completely opposite results."

"Really? I don't know much about these things. Anyway, if I can find any clues, I can try to track it down."

Maginot echoed him, staying in the corner to memorize each face.

Some teams from other countries didn't come, probably because they disdained cooperating with the teams here, but they still sent representatives to participate in the operation and share information later.

Chapter 333 may have already infiltrated.

Maginos observed everyone, and someone else was secretly observing her.

Not only was she being observed, but all the detectives from Red Sparrow City who were invited into the hotel were being observed, without exception.

In the hotel room, several non-local detectives were constantly browsing through intelligence reports, which were exactly the same as those being seen by the people in the lobby, with no difference whatsoever.

"Through the analysis of Maginot's personality and activities, we can determine that she was a person with extremely complex emotions."

The person chosen by these detectives solemnly introduced himself to the people in the room, pointing around with a wooden stick. The room had been magically transformed into the shape of a hall.

Many people walked through the fake "hall," observing the people inside. The person in charge knew they were all listening, so he continued:

"Magnus Imperius is vigilant enough, but she will take risks when necessary. She seems to have no kindness in her heart, but in reality, she just forcibly suppresses it. Her heart is very complicated. She doesn't know where to go, whether to completely fall into depravity or maintain the status quo."

“Your Excellency,” a bard waved through the phantom, reminding him without turning his head, “our time is limited. Just tell us about Maginus’ current situation.”

The person who was interrupted did not get angry, but nodded knowingly.

"Okay, to put it simply, there's about a 70% chance that Maginus stayed in Red Sparrow City, and a 30% chance that she has infiltrated the local detectives in Red Sparrow City and been invited here by us."

At this point, everyone in the room paused, and some even stood up.

Inserluti's previously indifferent gaze became excited as she scanned the hall's illusions, trying to find a figure resembling Maginus.

She is not the real person, but a simulation; the real person is currently in a high-end hotel in Red Sparrow City.

"It's only a 30% chance, so please don't have too high hopes."

Upon hearing the detective's words, the previously excited blonde girl's eyes flashed with disappointment and frustration. She sat down again and resumed her previous motionless state.

"So, in addition to searching the city, we also need to ensure that she doesn't appear in this most dangerous yet safest place? Then why not just arrest all these detectives first?"

"Because this is Red Sparrow City, some detectives have very powerful backgrounds, and others are owed favors by nobles. We definitely can't accept those favors from nobles."

Different people were discussing the topic, but when the conversation veered off course, the person in charge coughed to bring them back on track:

"In short, there is an 80% chance that Maginus stayed in Redbird City, and a 77% chance that she escaped after the Ruins incident. What we need to do is look for traces left by Maginus in these places."

He snapped his fingers and conjured a floating map of Red Sparrow City. With a flick of his stick, he marked many areas with red circles: the vicinity of the four city gates, the mansions near the noble district, the area near the temple in the noble district, and so on.

Someone quickly noticed the problem and slightly raised their hand:

"These all seem to be relatively wealthy, high-traffic areas. Is Imperius that rich, yet she dares to go to areas where she would be easily spotted?"

"This information was obtained through intelligence; please let me explain."

The person in charge patiently explained, "Back in the Crystal Salt Kingdom, Maginus killed Count Benedict and Prince Ronald Faston, and had ample time to pick up their dimensional bags."

"I don't need to say more, right? There are many places in Red Sparrow City that don't ask about the origin of equipment, and the towns we've passed through along the way must also have black markets. She must be able to accumulate a lot of wealth."

"The reason she chose a wealthy location is firstly because she certainly wants to live comfortably. One thing is for another: she can tolerate living in the sewers or slums, but if she could, Imperius, as a former princess, would certainly want a comfortable and safe life."

"Secondly, it's a place with a lot of people. If she wants to escape, these places are a good option. We can't just run rampant in Red Sparrow City, killing every creature in our way and destroying every building that gets in our way."

"She can also keep track of our movements in time. They might have already spotted us when we entered the city."

"There are no defenses deployed at the city gate."

Upon hearing the speaker's explanation, someone's lips twitched, and he turned to ask a person in the room.

"We've been on guard for a while now. Any adventurer who's been here for more than a year will be checked for psionic energy before they can leave."

The real leaders of all the teams were talking in the room and quickly decided on the scope of work and objectives.

First of all, the local detectives must keep a close watch to prevent Maginus from infiltrating.

The next step is to search the places she may have visited and where she may have lived. At the very least, we need to find out if she entered Redbird City and confirm whether she is still in the city.

After assigning tasks to each person, one gave the order for the subordinates to disperse, while Inser spoke up:

"By the way, give me a list of the local invitees and their portraits."

“Yes, Princess Luti.”

"Why did they disband?"

The somewhat abrupt order to disband was issued, prompting one of the detectives to complain. At that moment, Maginus, who had reunited with Mani, exchanged a glance with him, as if sensing something.

Mani was also invited. The girl had collaborated with him several times over the past six months, which had been a pleasant experience.

"Looks like the main target is observing us?"

"IU Lingmeng and the eavesdropping magic circle they set up, what about you?"

"Some might be worried that we're Maginot in disguise?"

"Perhaps, let's leave it at that for now, and I look forward to seeing you next time."

"Well, goodbye, Miss Ilsis~".

Mani bid farewell to Maginus. The detective did not doubt her identity, which was related to her usual demeanor. Although the girl was usually aloof, she was approachable in every way.

Completely different from the rumored ruthless and bloodthirsty god-child who enjoys killing.

Back home, Maginus washed herself and lay on the bed, her consciousness turning to her clone "Mai". By this time, "Mai" had finished eating and left through the main entrance of the inn.

The girl's character was a low-level professional who worked in the field from night to night, and who usually did most of his jobs at night.

Tasks include clearing monsters from the sewers, finding and escorting thieves to nobles, or helping nobles find their cats.

She was low-key, aloof, and not good with words, which is why the innkeeper didn't question her much. He just thought she was an unusual guest; there were plenty of strange adventurers these days.

Now, May is going back to work.

Chapter 334 Making Money While Slacking Off

In a small manor on a noble street, Inserluti carefully examined the detective's portrait, her eyes slightly lowered.

After she finished looking at them all, she rubbed the bridge of her nose and put down the portraits, holding only the last few in her hand. They were all portraits of people with special abilities, both men and women, and the portrait of "Ilsis" was prominently displayed among them.

With a flick of the paper, the girl's gaze lingered on the portrait of Ilsis for a long time, but then she noticed an even more beautiful woman who also caught her eye.
