Chapter 145: I, with Hall, am invincible. Quack, quack, slash, slash.

Hall was truly numb.

He had originally thought that after solving the trouble with the necromancer, there would be no more trouble.

But he found that Leticia had actually woken up and was silently looking at him.

He didn’t know when she had woken up.

In any case, it was very dangerous.

That kind of gaze could not be hidden.

It was very cold, very indifferent, and it made him feel…

It was hard to imagine that this kind of gaze would come from the usually gentle, elegant, timid, and Buddhist-like Leticia.

Then his first reaction was of course to run, to run quickly.

He would escape this wave first and talk later.

Leticia could have woken up after he had kissed Sula, but he couldn’t bet his life that Leticia had woken up after he had kissed Sula.

So he began his preparations for running.

He pretended not to have seen Leticia wake up and said, “Princess Sula, congratulations, you may have really done it. I’ll go and check if that necromancer is still alive. The matter is about to end.”

Actually, it wasn’t a possibility.

It was absolutely that Sula had hit him.

That arrow was Yekanda’s order.

That was the elf race, and also a very special archery technique in the entire game, [Arrow of Hanging Life].

In the small text of the game, it would be described that this technique originated from the forbidden weapon [Gungnir] sealed in the depths of the Judgment Bureau by the church.

Just as described in the myths, that holy spear, which was once used to judge the heretical emperors of various countries, had the effect of hitting its target when shot.

According to some legends on the game forums, when the player saw the scene of [Gungnir]’s attack in the mid-to-late stages of the route with Sula as the core heroine.

The skill [Arrow of Hanging Life] would evolve.

And become a very special skill.

But Hall also knew that he was just thinking about running now.

He had to run.

If he waited for Leticia to react, he wouldn’t be able to run.

Because the necromancer had been hit by Sula’s arrow, the originally berserk undead puppets had also instantly become as weak as they were in life.

Parousia, with her level advantage, directly and easily cut them down like vegetables.

…

Hall passed through the dense forest in the heavy rain.

He could see that the necromantic array that had originally appeared on the ground was receding.

The natural power emanating from the [Forest’s Whisper Bow] was basically equivalent to the holy power of the elf race, and it began to drive out these ominous things that had invaded the forest.

A moment later, he found the seriously injured and unconscious necromancer.

The other party still had one breath left.

Hall chose to finish him off.

According to the game’s setting, although one would gain experience in the process of hitting the boss’s health, it was only a small amount of experience.

The large amount of experience belonged to the one who killed him.

Then he searched the necromancer’s long robe and the other party’s magical artifact.

“A staff I’ve never seen before. But looking at the level, it doesn’t seem to be as formidable as Rhys’s [Shadow of the Death Crow]. It’s a bit of a letdown.”

Hall was about to collect the spoils of war when a petite figure descended in the rain.

“Big brother is really formidable. It seems there’s no need for His Highness the Prince to come and deal with it personally.”

Prince Vier glanced at the dead necromancer’s body, kicked it with her small foot, and after confirming his death, her face showed a look of disgust.

To have kidnapped Leticia and chased Sula in her territory, they really didn’t have her, this prince, in their eyes.

“Oh, then I won’t trouble Your Highness the Prince. But you should pay some attention to the affairs of your northern border. Maybe Samigina will continue to cause trouble there with his subordinates.”

He gave a simple reminder.

This could not only ensure the safety of the two heroines in the western demon domain, but also reduce the pressure on the Cateline Kingdom from the side.

“Oh, is that so? It really is that disgusting old man… then thank you for the reminder, big brother. I will report it to His Highness the Prince as it is.”

Prince Vier had also thought about it before.

Since the other race search warrant and the array were both ineffective.

Then it was very likely a vampire, and a level ninety vampire could only be a pure-blooded noble.

With a little thought, she knew it was those who had defected back then.

And a while ago, Prince Charles, who was guarding the north, had also temporarily left his territory to protect the princess on her way to West Town.

With this in mind, Prince Vier was also clear in her heart.

“As a thank you, this is a [Vampire Crystal]. Whether it is for swallowing or for transforming a weapon, it is a top-grade material. Big brother, please take it as you wish.”

First, she handed the reward to Hall, and then said, “By the way, can big brother reveal some related information to me? For example, who exactly was the person who attacked Princess Leticia and Princess Sula this time? I think it shouldn’t be just this necromancer.”

“It’s a descendant of the Bulu family.”

He did not directly state Yekanda’s name.

After hearing this, Vier glanced at Hall with a hint of deep meaning.

This guy really…

It seemed it was not a coincidence that he had tricked the princess’s contract.

The surname Bulu had long been removed from the vampire race now.

Seven hundred years ago, non-core members of the demon race did not know this surname.

This guy, on earth…

How much more did he know?

And how did he know?

If it was really as Parousia had said, then Hall should be a specialist of the Black Knights.

But an ordinary specialist could absolutely not touch these secrets.

This made Vier think of a few thousand years ago, when the servant with the codename Hela had led the elites of the Black Knights to destroy the Frost Elf race.

The branch of the sacred tree had been taken, which had led them to hold an emergency meeting to deal with this new force, the Black Knights.

And Sula’s teacher, that highest priestess of the elf race, was said to have also participated in the battle of the destruction of the Frost Elf race back then.

But this afternoon, she had inexplicably left Sula’s coming-of-age ceremony, and it was unknown what she had gone to do, or why she had left.

All the clues began to converge in Prince Vier’s mind.

She was hesitating whether to ask Hall.

If Hall mentioned these things, the stance and attitude of both sides would very likely change immediately.

Also considering that the princess had not yet come into contact with Hall again, but was just observing him in secret.

“How about this, Specialist William? Can we exchange a secret with each other next?”

Prince Vier’s face had a sweet smile.

She was very much like a little sister who loved her big brother.

But Hall was immune to this little sister setting.

The one at home was not very well-behaved.

They were all masters of hiding knives.

“Tell me, what secret does little sister Vier have?”

He knew it was impossible not to exchange.

After all, the other party’s strength was above his.

He could only use words to properly deal with her.

“Actually, Vier is Parousia’s top superior, Vier Masara, the prince who manages Sunset City for Her Majesty the Empress.”

She observed Hall’s expression as she lied.

The other party was very calm, without any surprise.

Either Hall had seen through her identity long ago, or Hall’s heart was astonishing.

Either way, he was outstanding.

So it also made her slightly nod her head that he could be the princess’s contractor.

But the bad point still existed, which was that Hall was a human.

To bet the future that the demon race had accumulated for a thousand years on a human man.

It was a bit exaggerated.

With the rapid development of the Papal State’s power, and even the development of the Holy Train technology now.

The vampires could not afford to gamble anymore, because the intelligence showed.

Besides the Black Knights and the research on the power of the Demon God, the Papal State also had other technology trees.

On the surface, it was to deal with the Eastern Continent and to welcome the inevitable East-West war.

But as long as the war was won, it was only a matter of time before the remaining Demon Lords in the Western Continent were dealt with.

“Oh, that’s good. To be called big brother by a vampire prince is quite exciting.”

Hall answered calmly and then asked, “So, what information does Prince Vier want me to confirm?”

“Mm…”

She thought for a moment and chose a suitable angle to test Hall.

“You know Hela?”

“Huh?”

…

Now Hall’s face changed slightly.

Damn it, why was everyone asking him about Hela?

First it was Christine, then Sula, and now Prince Vier.

If I knew Hela, I wouldn’t not know her at all.

Was Hela that crucial?

From Mandosha’s tone back then, it wasn’t particularly crucial.

After all, Mandosha was a sister-con.

If Hela had anything with him.

It was absolutely impossible.

As a child, he should have been fooling around with Christine and Mandosha.

If there was anything, then Hela must also be a certain heroine in the game.

But at present, he couldn’t think of which heroine Hela was.

The main heroines with strong swordsmanship talent were only Himan, Sophia, Ye Wangxue, Christine, and the Demon God’s daughter.

The first three were because they were not low to begin with and had room for improvement.

The latter two were naturally strong enough and had cheats, but their swordsmanship talent had no room for improvement.

So on comprehensive consideration, Sophia was the only T0 swordsmanship heroine.

Then who on earth was Hela?

If Hela was not a heroine, and belonged to a character like Mandosha Flower and Elizabeth who existed in the game, but had little text description or had died early.

He felt it was unlikely.

Because Hela had destroyed the Frost Elf race and had also injured the elf’s highest priestess, who had always been missing in the game.

Hela must have had a cheat.

A character with a cheat could only be a character with a very high setting in the game itself, or a core protagonist or antagonist who could appear in the early, mid, or late stages.

Now Hall was in a paradox.

Excluding the absolutely impossible Himan, Sophia, Ye Wangxue, and Elizabeth.

Hela could only be the alias of one of Christine, Mandosha Flower, and the Demon God’s daughter before he had lost his memory.

“It seems you know her, right?”

Prince Vier raised her eyebrows.

“I do know Hela.”

Hall was at a loss.

Everyone was asking him, and everyone thought he knew her.

What was the use of him denying it?

“Oh… then can you reveal some information about Hela? It is said that she seems to be able to use the mythic-grade weapon in the depths of the Judgment Bureau.”

“?”

Hall was stunned.

Hela could use a mythic-grade weapon?

This information was too explosive.

No wonder Vier was asking him about Hela.

A human individual who could use a mythic-grade weapon was equivalent to a “human-shaped nuclear bomb.”

But mythic-grade weapons usually had very strong recognition and holding standards.

Among them, the Hero’s Sword and the Eternal Winter Sacred Sword, Fimbulvetr, were the strongest.

The Hero’s Sword could not be drawn by anyone other than the Hero.

And if the Empress of Cateline forcibly used the Eternal Winter Sacred Sword, Fimbulvetr, she would be directly frozen into an ice pop by the cold air invading her body.

Not everyone could use it.

But he felt this was an opportunity.

With his current status, it was unlikely that he could go back to the Black Knights to check the confidential files, unless he was recognized by the church and became the captain of the reorganized Black Knights.

So he fabricated, “That’s right. Hela is about my age. If she didn’t use a mythic-grade weapon, how could she have destroyed the Frost Elf race? She is a peerless genius. I am not as good as her.”

“Oh, is that so? It seems big brother doesn’t want to reveal more to Vier either.”

Vier was cautious and was focusing on analyzing Hall’s “I am not as good as her.”

What if this was a modest statement?

This guy had already signed a contract with the princess.

If he really ascended the divine throne, in the future, when he retrieved the divine throne’s imperial sword, it would be a sure thing for him to use a mythic-grade weapon.

If Hall had heard Vier’s inner thoughts, he would have said that he had used a mythic-grade weapon a while ago, and it was just so-so, average.

“Then William, what is your stance now?”

Vier took a deep breath and said, “I guess I am confirming with you on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress.”

“I have no stance. At least I will not be an enemy of the vampires.”

Hall said faintly.

Anyway, he just prioritized his own safety, and then the safety of the heroines, and retrieving his lost memory, thereby controlling and avoiding the situation of being stabbed or sucked dry.

If he was strong enough in the future, what was the point of a stance?

He would just beat up whoever he didn’t like.

“Alright. Parousia has also been taken care of by Mr. William during this period.”

There was another reason why Vier approved of Hall.

If he was truly loyal to the church, Parousia’s brain would have been sold in Saint Louis long ago.

“She still has a lot of room for growth.”

He made a high EQ statement.

After hearing this, Prince Vier’s expression was subtle.

Then she said.

“Haha, well then. Vier will take her leave today.”

Finally, she disappeared in the heavy rain.

And Parousia, who had eliminated those undead puppets, also happened to arrive.

…

“How was it, William?”

“It’s fine. He’s as dead as he can be. Congratulations on solving another incident. Remember to take the credit from your Prince tonight.”

“Hmph, hmph, that’s a given. We are invincible, quack, quack, slash, slash. With just the two of us, we can find Princess Sula and Duchess Leticia. His Highness the Prince will surely be very happy.”

Parousia had already directly ignored the unlucky Daniel, whom she had killed twice.

“It’s all your credit. I’m leaving.”

Hall said.

“Ah, aren’t you going back?”

“No, what about Leticia? How is she? You carry her. Someone will come and pick her up.”

“What’s the point of him going back?”

“Oh, but I don’t think that’s good… when Duchess Leticia woke up, she kept asking where you had gone, and said she was coming to find you.”

Parousia said hesitantly.

“…Alright then.”

Hall thought for a moment.

He could run from the monastery but not the temple.

Unless he never went back to Saint Louis after this.

But he still had to investigate Hela’s information, so he had to go back.

So he returned to the original place in the heavy rain.

The two girls, who were almost identical in face, height, and body shape, but with different eye color, hair color, and clothes, were standing under a tree to take shelter from the rain.

“Mr. William, you’re back.”

Sula waved happily.

Leticia, on the other hand, was hesitant to speak.

After half a day, she finally squeezed out the name, “Wi… William.”

“Long time no see, Duchess Leticia.”

Feeling that the rose-colored girl’s mood was not very good.

If it were before, it would surely have been Leticia who had said long time no see to him.

But Hall could not show any abnormality.

He could only pretend to be normal.

“Long time no see…”

Leticia’s low voice was almost drowned out by the rain.

“By the way, why did you come to Sunset City? A human duchess like you, it’s so dangerous to come here.”

Hall continued to pretend to be normal.

But Leticia, thinking of the scene she had seen when she had just woken up, felt a tightness in her chest and had some difficulty breathing.

“Why?”

“Why would that happen?”

Why was Hall’s movement of teaching her to draw the bow so gentle?

Why was Hall so proficient in kissing?

Ye Wangxue, the Empress of Cateline, besides them.

How many other girls had he kissed?

On the night of Hall’s engagement, on the high place of the Childland castle, she had gathered her courage and taken the initiative to kiss him, thinking that she had gotten forever.

But…

Then her emotions could no longer be held back.

She lowered her hand and said in a high-pitched voice, “Of course it was to find you! You’ve been gone from Saint Louis for a month, and you didn’t say anything before you left…”

“I’m sorry. I was on a top-secret mission and couldn’t tell you. I’ve made you worry.”

Feeling that Leticia’s emotions were really not good.

He chose to directly embrace her already soaked, thin body in the heavy rain, interrupting her speech.

“There’s no other way.”

“Let’s stabilize the situation first.”

“But…”

Leticia, who had been actively embraced by Hall, almost instantly lost her ability to think.

She was a love-struck person to begin with, and this was Hall actively embracing her, completely holding her.

And there was his scent, that scent after a battle was very strong.

“For the first time.”

She just wanted to feel his embrace, and for a moment, she forgot many unpleasant things.

“I was also very troubled, Leticia. When Moyel told me you had been taken away, I was really worried about you too.”

This, in a sense, was the truth.

Hall was of course worried about Leticia, in all aspects.

“Mm… you came to save me, I know… but just now you…”

“Do you still remember the art of dual cultivation that you guys talked about on the seventieth floor of the Demon God’s Labyrinth?”

He of course understood what Leticia was talking about.

He decided to dispel her worries in advance.

So after slightly letting go of Leticia, he looked at Sula.

“Princess Sula, after we kissed just now, your strength greatly increased, right?”

Informing a girl who was usually particularly well-behaved like Leticia of this kind of report was not a problem.

“Yes, Mr. William.”

Sula didn’t know what she was thinking, and just confirmed with a red face.

“It was an emergency situation. I remembered the technique that Ye Wangxue had once taught me. What I did just now was also to get out of the predicament.”

He threw all the blame on his fiancée.

“Princess Sula and I only met for the first time yesterday.”

“Mm…”

Sula didn’t know why, but she always felt something was strange, and she shouldn’t have admitted it.

But Hall was right.

And Hall’s self-proof also made Leticia’s mood immediately calm down.

She believed him.

Only Parousia was pouting on the side.

She thought to herself, ‘You could have just given me your blood, and it would have been over.’

…

Soon, the four of them left the dense forest.

When they returned to the ancient castle, the sky had completely darkened.

The news of Daniel’s death was told to the patriarch of the Forest Will clan.

But his name was still good, saying that he had died to save the princess, and had died without regret.

Hall and Parousia were of course the biggest heroes tonight.

Sula, in a formal dress, placed a wreath of flowers that she had woven on the spot on the two of them.

“The center of attention is by no means an exaggeration.”

Although only one bloodline prince had come to the coming-of-age ceremony today, and the king of the elf race had not come, many of the lords who ruled a region in the western demon domain had come.

If the western demon domain was seen as a human country, then the lords were almost like mayors with their own military power.

In the demon revival route of the Demon God’s daughter.

He had to get the recognition of the lords to be able to fully mobilize the power of the demon race.

However, Hall had not stated his name, and had even omitted “Russell.”

Everyone only knew that this strange human black-haired youth was called “Mr. William.”

And Hall, to prevent being exposed by the specialists of the Judgment Bureau who were active in the demon domain, he had used the same method as when he was with Christine, saying that he was Duchess Leticia’s bodyguard.

Today’s matter was originally to save Duchess Leticia, and helping Princess Sula was a beautiful accident.

He pushed all the credit to Parousia.

And Parousia, where in her life had she seen such a scene?

She happily accepted the flattery of the various lords, and whether it was true or not, she admitted it all.

Leticia herself was also very happy because Hall had said he was her bodyguard.

Small details could make her happy.

The coming-of-age party would last for two hours.

After accepting the wreath, Hall had been a marginal person the whole time.

To avoid being noticed, he had gone to the balcony on the second floor of the ancient castle alone.

Because the ancient castle was some distance away from Sunset City, and it was still raining heavily outside, the temperature was not very good.

It was raining, and it was dark outside, so there was no night view to look at.

“After this is over, I’ll go back to Saint Louis tomorrow.”

This time in Saint Louis, of course, he would be with Leticia.

Even if he wasn’t with Leticia, Leticia would surely ask to be with him.

Then it would be better to take Leticia’s special train back.

He wouldn’t have to buy a ticket.

But after sitting on it for half a day.

Someone suddenly pushed the door open and came to the balcony.

At first, from the figure, he thought it was Leticia, but it turned out to be Sula.

“Mr. William, is it convenient?”

“What is it?”

“I just wanted to say, thank you for the photos you took for me before.”

“Oh, you don’t have to thank me for that.”

“That photo, I showed it to my aunt.”

Sula suddenly became nervous, her ten fingers rubbing against each other in front of her chest.

“What’s wrong?”

Hall thought to himself, ‘What’s with this situation?’

However, according to the original plot of the game, Sula’s aunt was still missing at this time.

“After she saw the photo you took for me, she left immediately. She didn’t even attend my coming-of-age ceremony in the evening. I was thinking, did I offend my aunt…”

Sula had originally been very happy to show the set of photos to her aunt at noon.

But her aunt’s face had clearly changed after she had seen the photos.

She thought to herself, could it be because the photos she had taken with her aunt were too similar.

So…

But she had no one to share this with, so she had subconsciously thought of Hall, who had encouraged her before.

“Ah?”

Hall was shocked.

There were too many ridiculous things.

The fact that Sula’s aunt would appear at her coming-of-age ceremony was already not normal.

He was considering whether to expose this secret.

Sula’s aunt was not a heroine, and besides, she had not even appeared once in the game.

But the familiarity that he felt from helping Sula made him guess.

His archery was extraordinary, maybe it had something to do with the other party.

It was really a mess.

It was a good thing Sula’s aunt was not here.

Otherwise, if the other party found out that he had forcibly kissed her niece just two days after they had met, she would have to punish him by having him see Mr. Lang.

“Sigh, but still, thank you, Mr. William. I am very satisfied with this photo and will remember it well. As for my aunt’s side, I will handle it.”

“Mm, actually, it’s not necessarily your fault. Don’t think too much. Maybe she had something urgent to deal with.”

Hall comforted Sula.

Sula still looked complicated.

Then he cited the example of Parousia and Prince Hall, saying that Parousia was so stupid, yet Prince Hall would not get angry.

Only then did Sula’s expression soften a little.

Soon, considering that he could not be caught by Leticia.

He said he still had something to do and was about to leave the balcony.

But just as he turned around, he vaguely felt that someone was looking at him.

It was not Sula’s gaze.

When he looked back, he could only see Sula, who was still in deep thought, alone in the night.

Before ten in the evening.

Hall, Leticia, and Moyel left the ancient castle together.

They had an appointment to take Leticia’s special train back to Saint Louis at noon tomorrow.

But when he returned to the sales office to find Lov.

He found that.

Lov was missing.

Recently, I’ve been a little tired.

Because of the phone binding issue, I can’t appear in the comment section.

I’ll just briefly chat at the end of the chapter.

First of all, when I write a book, I definitely want everyone to have a good time reading it and to provide everyone with some fun and plot every day.

Then, the problem of there being too many heroines has been mentioned many times before.

Mentioning a heroine does not mean that I will immediately write about her in detail, because I will not leave her until the late game.

That kind of heroine has no presence and no room for growth.

Of course, I won’t drag it out for too long.

If there is a suitable place to write about her in detail, I will definitely do so.

And Hall is the male lead.

In each volume of the plot, the heroine’s role must have a primary and a secondary.

It is impossible to distribute it evenly.

For example, Sophia’s mobile appearance in the Bal Kingdom to snatch the feather, she has her own divine artifact.

Even if Leticia and Lorraine had gone at that time, they would have been one-sidedly crushed by Christine (so it’s enough to update one slowly… not).

Julia’s unique talent destined her to need to develop in secret in the early stages, with not much screen time.

The plot also needs to be advanced step by step, integrating the previous information together.

Unless it’s a pure soy sauce character, I won’t let a character appear meaninglessly.

If someone is useless now, it means they will be very useful in the future.

Just like the plot in the orphanage.

By the way, I have never thought of shelving a heroine, but forcibly giving a role a scene will only make the reader’s perception worse.

Of course, to prove this now, unless I throw out the outline, it’s also impossible (if I could write tens of thousands of words every day and end the book at the speed of light, there would also not be this problem, but it’s not realistic).

Speaking of which, Sophia is the Empress of Cateline, and Ye Wangxue is the Princess of Xia, etc.

They have not yet reached their core plot to welcome a change.

Elizabeth is sleeping, and Mandosha has not yet revealed her veil.

As for Himan, Himan will also have a core plot, but she has already changed a bit and is not without change.

She will have a fierce argument with Christine about Hall’s past and will also shed tears.

This can be seen from her confrontation with Leticia, where she didn’t show much emotion for Leticia to see.

And if it were the beginning, her straightforward personality would have already reported Hall for colluding with the vampires.

As for the yandere, I have hinted many times that Christine and Elizabeth are super-high-level yanderes.

There are many correct guesses in the complaints.

They could have caused casualties in the past and have already affected the current world situation to a certain extent.

Julia is also a pure yandere, and there is also a heroine who has already become a yandere that everyone can guess.

As for her little sister, Lorraine’s strength is not high at present.

Compared to the previous operations of Christine, Elizabeth, and that hidden yandere heroine, it can only be considered a small skirmish.

And because of the policy red line, it is impossible to really let her little sister have a date with Hall and have him.

Unless her attributes are weakened and she no longer calls Hall “brother.”

The premise of writing a book is that the book can still be written.

I hope the readers can understand.

By the way, a small spoiler.

The core of the third volume will be the plot of the Cateline Kingdom.

It will involve many of the heroines who have appeared so far.

That will be a real river of blood, and it will also be.
