Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

Chapter 94: Alexia's Amazing Wisdom

Why are you here! This was Beta's first thought when he saw Alexia appear here.

"Why are you here!"

In a moment of emotional loss of control, Beta shouted out what was in his heart to Alexia.

"Huh? Why, do you think I, a princess, have to go all the way to the port to pick you up and feel wronged?"

Alexia's face immediately became unhappy when Beta questioned her, and she directly asked Beta back.

You are feeling aggrieved. Lord Shadow doesn't come to meet me because of you. Shouldn't I feel even more aggrieved?

Although he thought so in his heart, Beta still forced a fake smile on his face, clenched his fists behind his back, and explained while suppressing his anger.

"No, I mean, didn't Your Highness the Princess and I make an appointment to meet in the afternoon? Why did you suddenly come to the port to pick me up?"

Even though he told himself to be patient, Beta couldn't help but raise his voice in severity at the end, with a hint of murderous intent in his voice.

"Alas--"

Alexia suddenly let out a "huh" sound, as if ice cubes were stuffed into her clothes, and looked at Beta.

"Natsume, what did you just do to me?"

Alexia wasn't sure what caused her reaction just now, but she immediately blamed Beta.

"Your Highness, I don't understand what you are saying."

Beta replied with a smile.

"Tsk, forget it. The main reason I came to you so early this time is that something unexpected happened. My sister is coming to Genshin Island. You know, my sister has been..."

Beta didn't care at all about what Alexia was saying. She was in a daze at the moment. Looking at Sid's back as he turned and left, Beta's murderous intent towards Alexia was stronger than ever before.

"Hey, hey, Natsume, are you listening? What are you looking at?"

After noticing Beta's absent-mindedness and waving at his face without any response, Alexia followed Beta's gaze and saw Sid who had turned around and was about to leave.

The moment she saw Sid's figure, Alexia subconsciously called out the name she usually called Sid.

"Pochi?"

But as the voice came out, Sid not only did not turn around to respond, but his pace even increased a bit. Alexia frowned and quickly stepped forward to grab Sid.

How dare she, how dare she, how dare she call Lord Shadow like that.

Watching Alexia running towards Sid, a sharp blade made of black slime emerged from Beta's clenched hands.

If we say that Beta just had murderous intentions towards Alexia in his heart just now, it would be like wanting to kill teammates when being tricked by teammates during playing games, but in fact it was just talk.

Now, Beta was really thinking about how to kill Alexia in public without Lord Shadow finding out that it was her who did it.

Sid, whose shoulders were held by Alexia, turned his head with visible confusion on his face. The moment he saw Alexia, he showed a happy expression mixed with surprise, and spoke in a pure voice with an innocent smile on his face.

"Alexia! What a coincidence, you are here too."

"Alas--"

As if she was disgusted, Alexia released her hand from Sid's shoulder.

"Don't talk to me with such a disgusting tone and expression. Aren't you disgusting yourself?"

It's right that you feel disgusted. This is something I learned specifically to deal with white-haired and sinister people like you.

Keeping the expression on his face, Sid continued to speak in that sickeningly sweet voice.

"What are you talking about, Alexia? I don't understand. I have something else to do here, so I won't bother you..."

Looking at Alexia's hand stretched out in front of him, holding a seemingly heavy purse, Sid fell silent, the smile on the corner of his mouth dropped, and his usual voice returned.

"Why don't we continue throwing and picking up gold coins? Have you grown up and learned to be ashamed?"

"After all, I still have to save your face in public, and I don't want the rumor that 'the second princess of the Kingdom of Midgar is a pervert who likes to adopt lower-class nobles as pets' to spread among the people. This will bring shame to my sister."

"Oh, nowadays, everyone uses paper currency issued by Mitsukoshi Bank. Who would still pay with coins like you?"

"It sounds so nice, but if you have the guts, don't take it."

"I'm so embarrassed. You've given me everything. If I don't take it, wouldn't that be looking down on you?"

With a little effort, he pulled the purse from Alexia's hand and felt the weight of the purse. One gold coin represented 100,000 Zeni, so there should be 3.4 million Zeni in it. This money was earned too easily.

Sid, who was feeling proud in his heart, suddenly thought of a question.

How much strength did he use to pull the purse from Alexia's hand just now?

While Sid was thinking about how much effort he had just used, Alexia was staring in a daze at her hand that had just held the purse.

How much strength did she use to hold the purse just now?

I don't know. She really didn't know. She had thought that the money couldn't be given to Pochi so easily, so she subconsciously clenched her hands tightly, and she didn't notice whether she used all her strength.

This posed a problem. If she had used her full strength just now, then what kind of strength did Pochi have to be able to take the purse from her so easily?

Although there was probably some carelessness on her part, Pochi, who was able to get her purse so easily, was definitely a strong man who was no weaker than her.

But if she asked the question so bluntly, not to mention the possibility of alerting the enemy, if it was proven that she did not use her full strength and that Sid was hiding his strength purely because she was overthinking it, she would appear to be stupid.

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have to worry so much. Who would have the time to hide their strength? What could they gain by hiding their strength?

Only by demonstrating your strength can you obtain better resources, and then use these resources to become stronger than others. This is common sense, and it applies in any world.

Unfortunately, she only knew one... two... well, two organizations that clearly violated this common sense and a giant slime elf with silver hair, teardrop mole, blue eyes, and a black-bellied silver-haired, blue-eyed teardrop-shaped mole that had hidden its strength 99% of the time, but pretended to be pitiful, weak, delicate and artificial in front of others every day, using this to put on airs. Behind the scenes, who knows how many things that deserved the gallows were done.

Although she has no evidence to prove that a certain silver-haired elf has hidden its strength so far, she will find evidence sooner or later.

Ahem, the topic has gone off track. According to the information she currently knows, one of the two organizations is called Shadow Garden, and the other is called the Diablo Cult.

Shadow Garden can be ruled out. Except for the leader Shadow, all the other people in this organization are women. Pochi is not a woman, so this option can be ruled out. It is impossible that Pochi is Shadow.

So... after eliminating all impossibilities and analyzing with her amazing wisdom... Alexia looked at Sid sharply, with a gleam of light in her eyes.

Pochi, you didn't join the Diablo Cult! ! !

As the title suggests, this book is on the shelves.

To be honest, I really didn't expect that my work would be published. You can tell by the number of words I wrote.

I know myself well. I'm a person who only gets excited for a short time.

I never thought about putting it online at the beginning. When I wrote more than 100,000 words, I thought that when I signed the contract, I might not want to write anymore, so I kept dragging it on. As a result... I wrote 200,000 words without realizing it. Fuck, how did I do it?

Let me talk about the setting of the protagonist. The protagonist is Cid from Shadow Power, but I slightly modified the setting in the original work.

The reason for choosing High School for Demons and Strike the Blood is mainly because both of them have the character of God, and the position is vacant, which is very useful and can be used as a pretentious setting.

The God in Strike: The Blood never appeared, so we won’t discuss it here. Of course, it may be that the original author himself doesn’t know how to explain the church, after all, the background is too confusing.

There is no need to talk about the God in High School. Even though he died early in the original work, before the EXE, he was the real background ceiling. No character who stepped on him had a good ending. He will become more and more powerful with each version update.

Okay, that's it, let's go write.

Chapter 95: Beta Loses His Mind

???

What's wrong with this crazy woman all of a sudden? Is she going to kill someone again?!!!

What if she really wants to chop me? My blood pack ran out yesterday and I haven’t had time to refill it! ! !

Without a health pack, how can I pretend to be injured when Alexia attacks me later? She can’t break my defense!!!

How about taking the initiative and giving Alexia a heart attack...Does Alexia have a heart disease?

Never mind, let Alexia have an attack of a disease that can make her faint, and send Alexia to the hospital.

Being watched by Alexia, Sid pretended to be ignorant on the surface, but in fact, this series of thoughts emerged in his mind.

The longer Alexia stared, the more determined Sid became to take action.

Just when Sid decided to take action, Alexia suddenly withdrew her gaze and sighed.

"I actually doubt you, Pochi, who can abandon his noble dignity for money. What on earth am I thinking? Is my brain broken?"

Has this crazy woman finally realized that there is something wrong with her brain? If she knows, she should take the initiative and go to the hospital to see a doctor.

Staring at Sid's puzzled and confused face, Alexia really couldn't tell what Sid was pretending to be, or rather what qualifications did Sid have to join the Diablo Cult.

In terms of title, he is just a baron, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to inherit the position of head of the family.

In terms of talent...she couldn't see what talent her Pochi had. Could he be such a dog without any bottom line just for gold coins?

In terms of strength, she is not bragging, just based on the strength that Sid has shown now, even if her Pochi has hidden strength, she can upgrade Sid by one level, and then take drugs to upgrade it again. She is confident that she can beat her Pochi.

After this speculation, Alexia completely dispelled the idea that Pochi had betrayed her and joined the Diablo Cult.

But we still have to be careful. In case Pochi is really a member of the Dia Cult, we can only use physical means to force Pochi to wake up.

Although it can be explained as wise people being suspicious, I still feel that she was so stupid just now!

Alexia covered her face in her heart, and Sid, who was still thinking about how much strength he had used, exchanged words, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

"Alexia, who is this gentleman? You two seem to be familiar with each other. Could you introduce him to me?"

A voice broke the silence, and the two turned their eyes to the person who made the voice. The owner of the voice was Beta, who was smiling at the moment.

After calming down just now, she has given up the idea of ​​killing Alexia, mainly because she is not confident that she can hide it from Lord Shadow.

It is not worth it to lower Lord Shadow's favorability just to kill such an ignorant princess who was lucky enough to gain Lord Shadow's favor and become his girlfriend for a short time.

Hearing Beta's words, Alexia frowned and felt unhappy, but she understood that Beta was right, so she patiently introduced the two people.

"Sid, Sid Kagenor, the second son of Baron Kagenor's family in the Kingdom of Midgar.

He studied at the Midgard Magic Swordsman Academy like me before, and in order to keep up with me during World Fusion, he trained hard and was able to transfer to my current school, the Saikai Campus.

Natsume, just call Pochi Sid, don't give Pochi random names."

At the end of her speech, Alexia secretly winked at Natsume.

"Um, I don't remember... It's okay."

Sid opened his mouth to correct a mistake Alexia had made. He didn't transfer schools just to keep up with Alexia, he was forced to transfer by her sister. Alexia's statement seemed a bit like a bootlicker.

But Alexia moved sideways to block Beta, and then took out a gold coin at a tricky angle where Beta couldn't see.

Do you think this little money can buy me off and make me lose my dignity for your vanity?

Sid wanted to say that, but she gave him too much.

"This, Natsume, is a writer who writes novels. It's no big deal."

Unlike when he introduced Sid to Beta, he wanted to talk about everything that could be related to him, but when he introduced Sid to Beta, he was extremely perfunctory.

"Sid, can I call you Sid?"

"Yeah, of course, Natsume."

Beta, you did it, you did it. Not only did you call Lord Shadow by his name, you also got the merciful Lord Shadow to allow your offense. Alexia, this may be the only good thing you have done in your life.

"Tsk, even though I asked you to call Pochi Sid, could you be a little more reserved? Where's your energy in going against me normally?"

Ignoring Alexia who was calling out to him, Beta suppressed his excitement and continued to speak gently.

"Sid, you don't have to call me Natsume. My real name is Beta, and Natsume is my pen name."

"Beta? Hey, Natsume, why don't I know about this?"

"There are so many things you don't know, how can you be so confident to say this?

Oh, and the relationship between you and me is not that good yet, so you should just call me Natsume."

Unable to bear it any longer, Beta retorted. Knowing that what Beta said was indeed the truth, Alexia, feeling guilty, could only change the subject unhappily.

"Okay, now that I've introduced everyone, I still have something to say to Natsume, so I'll leave now."

Feeling guilty and influenced by some special emotions in her heart, Alexia, who usually had to stay for a while when she met Sid, now just wanted to quickly pull Natsume away from Sid to prevent this elf, whose attributes mostly overlap with hers, from affecting her.

"I actually don't mind it, and I even think Sid and I have a good rapport.

Hmm... I'd rather spend more time with him, how about you take Sid with you, Alexia?"

"Are you serious?"
