"You…" Liliana said as she glanced at Bai Qi…
It was as if she had seen something she hated.
"Ah, did that guy say something strange?”
"I will never forget what happened that night. I will never forget that night that was as dazzling as the fireworks in the summer. It was like a warm dream. I gave him everything, and he responded to me completely. At that time, the world seemed to have enough for the two of us, and there was no space for anything else.”
At this moment, Liliana's cheeks turned slightly red and she lowered her gaze.
" Even if the two 'kings' have that kind of immoral relationship, I'm not qualified to say anything. If I can, I just want to say that the impure behavior with Erika is not healthy for men. Moreover, this kind of dishonest two-timing behavior…Ah, please forget what you just said."
"Don't misunderstand, I just had a fight with that guy!”
" Bai Qi!" said Erika in a bored tone.
"I told you before that you have too many gaps. Didn't you attract those strange fellows because of that? It was impossible not to chase away people like Savatore!”
"I want to chase them away too, but the other party keeps coming to find trouble. What can I do?”
After replying, Bai Qi took a deep breath.
Savatore Tony was a man who could make people angry. However, it was not important now. He had to forget about it quickly. He should work hard to solve the problem at hand. After making up his mind, the guardian asked Liliana.
"Uh, that old grandpa called Worban is inside, right? Can you take us there?"
"That was my plan. Please come this way.”
Liliana walked deeper into the hall. The encounter with the oldest Demon King was approaching.
Bai Qi went up to the second floor of the library and walked into the spacious reading room.
The tall old man and Yuri, who was wearing a white kimono, were there.
Contrary to the rumors that said he was like a mad dog, the old man's appearance was full of wisdom, with a broad forehead and deep eye sockets. He was tall and thin, but he did not look weak. Was it because his back was straight and his waist was not bent at all?
Dressed in a neat suit, he looked like an old gentleman.
"Kranizar, you were very rough with my servant.”
The old gentleman, Sasha Dejansdal Vauban, suddenly said.
It was not a reproach, but rather a teasing tone.
"I'm very sorry. As a knight, I made a wrong judgment and did something rude to the 'king' by waving my sword. After that, I will accept any punishment.”
"You can replace as many servants as you want.”
After replying in a joking manner, Worban looked at Bai Qi with a bored expression.
It was the kind of gaze that looked arrogant.
"Quite young. Speaking of which, I was about the same age as you when I became 'King'. Tell me your name, young man. Even if I don't tell you my name, you should know who I am, but I don't know your name.”
"My name is Shiki Krassanagi. Please return my friend.”
Baiqi didn't realize that he had to use honorifics, so he reported his name.
After listening to the old man's story, he was not in the mood to show his respect for the old man.
Baiqi looked at Yuri's situation. He looked a little haggard, but he didn't seem to have suffered any serious attacks. She looked very worried as she stared at Bai Qi's face.
"Why? Mr. Grass. You came to such a place because of me!"
"What are you talking about? Wouldn't it be troublesome if I didn't come? Compared to this, are you alright with the Ten Thousand Mile Valley? Were you treated roughly?"
"I won't do such a stupid thing. This witch is very useful to me.”
Wauban cracked a mocking smile.
"But, young man, who is this girl to you? Family or wife? Or a lover? I'm sorry, but I'm definitely going to take it.”
"Stop joking! If he wanted to attract gods, he would have to do it alone! Don't drag others into this!"
Before coming here, he had already gotten a summary of the matter from Liliana.
The purpose of Wauban, the necessity of blessings, and the danger of summoning the ritual of the God of Disobedience. There was no reason to allow this old man to be so violent.
Thus, Baiqi scolded loudly.
Worban yawned in boredom, completely unconcerned.
"Young man, this is a gathering of kings. I apologize for my rudeness in trespassing into your territory. However, don't think that you can change my goal just by saying something. Shouldn't you prepare an appropriate price to ask for something from the King?”
"Price?"
"Yes, a witch who can replace this girl, a god who can be my prey. If that wasn't the case, there was no way to trade.”
The old man didn't seem to have any intention of talking, and there was no way to negotiate.
Bai Qi smacked his lips. What if he didn't show his strength? According to the rumors, he was a believer of 'strength'. It seemed that there was no other way than to show off the power he had, the authority he had seized from the ancient Persian God of War.
Just as Baiqi was feeling troubled…
He noticed that Yuri was looking at him with a pleading gaze, saying something without saying a word.
Was it because he was anxious?
Bai Qi felt a little confused, and he loosened his clenched right fist and relaxed his shoulder.
Yuri nodded vigorously. It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
"But, what should I do…"
Just now, the words 'use your strength' flashed across Baiqi's mind.
There's no point in continuing to talk to Worban
Even if Yuri didn't stop him, this was indeed something he wanted to avoid.
He, who often told Erika to 'live peacefully with common sense', should think of an easy way to solve the problem…
At this moment, Erika took action.
Up until now, she had been waiting with Liliana in the corner of the reading room. However, as if she had noticed Bai Qi's hesitation, she walked up to the 'King'.
"Not good, the problem has become troublesome. Can you leave?”
"No, my Sovereign. I'm very sorry for being late. Here, we should follow the advice of our ally, Minister Savatore. Please make a decision."
With a gorgeous smile, she rejected Baiqi's request and made a suggestion in a loyal tone.
Worban immediately responded to these conversations.
"Oh, an ally? This was something that couldn't be ignored, young lady.”
To the old demon king who was slightly interested, Elektra bowed elegantly and reported her name.
"Nice to meet you. I am Erika Brauntree, the Grand Knight of the Copper and Black Cross, the Crimson Demon of the present age.”
"The successor to Paul Brauntry? What did you mean by that? Can you explain?"
"Yes, I am. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Elektra's pupils seemed to be filled with the brilliance of a happy naughty child.
It was obvious that he had some bad intentions.
"I don't know if you've heard, but our master, Shiki Kasanagi, and our 'King' of Italy, Savatore, fought fiercely and ended in a draw. This battle also cultivated the bond of friendship between the two 'Kings'.”
Bai Qi's back was covered in cold sweat.
Indeed, he had just heard that the person who had finally obstructed the old man's goal four years ago was Savatore Tony.
"No nurturing! Although they did fight, they didn't have a good relationship!”
"Hehe, although my Lord said so, he is indeed very close to Savatore. Is that right, Liliana?”
"Why are you asking me? Yes, that's true."
Liliana answered unhappily when she was suddenly asked a question.
Since you're not friends with Elektra, don't behave yourself! Baiqi called out, but it was too late.
"Savatore is very concerned about Lord Baiqi's matter.……Rather than calling him an ally, he would be happier to call him a loving relationship or a younger brother.”
At this rate, she would be toyed with like a toy by Erika.
While sympathizing with Liliana, Bai Qi raised his head and looked up at the sky.
"... Yes. To be able to gain the recognition of the knight of the Bronze Black Cross, who was the enemy of the Red Copper Black Cross, there should be nothing wrong with the fact that you are an ally of Savatore.”
"Also, there's one more thing. Do you know about the victory my master obtained a month ago?”
Erika threw more fuel.
Worban didn't answer this question, but signaled her to continue with his eyes.
"The goddess Athena-she was a powerful goddess without any explanation. However, a month ago, Bai Qi fought with her and defeated her. He almost let her escape and failed to usurp power…"
"Heh, even if it's a bluff, don't go too far.”
It had changed.
Unlike the rumors, the intellectual old man's attitude had changed. His face was as sharp as a sword and as fierce as a running beast.
It was as if he was sitting on the throne of an emperor, gently shaking.
It was soft, like the movements of a feline beast. It was definitely not something an old man could do.
"You said that you fought to a draw with Savatore and defeated Athena! And it was a body that had yet to slaughter a god! Hahaha, he was actually fighting with that stupid person who had no other tricks other than that sword. He was going against the strongest Goddess of Darkness, and he could still do that? The Red Devil, what did Savatore say?"
The Old Demon King asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am. He said so. As the 'king' and a distant senior marquis, if he came personally, he would definitely want to compete in strength. He actually said something about understanding the health of an old man and submitting to the power of young people to serve them…"
"I didn't! No matter what that fellow was, he would never say such unreasonable words!”
Baiqi tried his best to refute because he was being told something that did not exist. However, it was too late.
Wauban looked happy, and he smiled coldly.
"Alright then. It wasn't my mission to be the opponent of a little brat who hadn't even become a " king " for a year. However, I'll take advantage of your intention and feel honored.”
Emerald's eyes were now shining.
Eye of the Tiger. The sight of this word caused Baiqi to be unable to breathe.
"Brat, as you requested, bring this girl back. However, in place of that, you and this girl will become my prey.”
Worban grabbed Yuri's wrist roughly and threw her in the direction of the guard hall.
Bai Qi hugged her slender body in panic.
Yuri's body was trembling slightly. Her face was pale and devoid of blood, as if she was quite afraid. Bai Qi stroked her back as if he was reassuring her.
"Thirty minutes. He could bring this girl anywhere. Thirty minutes later, I'll leave this place and take the lives of this girl and you. It doesn't matter where you hide. In order to hunt you, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and force you to a dead end. This is the rule of hunting. Do you understand?”
Since things had come to this, he could only participate in this game.
Baiqi made up his mind and nodded quietly.
