Chapter 114: Prepare to go to the next mission world.
"If your father agrees, when do you plan to announce me as your fiancé?" Li De asked.
"If father agrees, the announcement will definitely be made after the Blood Moon incident. After all, only after your sister has demonstrated her worthiness to be won over can the voices of opposition be suppressed." Alexia replied slowly.
"Where are the voices of opposition?" Li De couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.
"You know what kind of people the nobles are, so it is inevitable that there will be no opposition voices. In fact..." Alexia was very open-minded.
"Someone will come to assassinate me again!" Li De still smiled.
"This is a matter of course. After all, he is the second son of the Border Baron. Even if his sister becomes the personal guard of Sister Alice, she will not be taken seriously by those people." Alexia also said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in this smile.
"It seems that I have to observe a moment of silence in advance for those who are looking for me." Li De didn't care at all. After all, whoever comes will die... no, whoever comes will disappear.
And it's not just one person, the whole family has to be together.
"Indeed, I just don't know who will jump out at that time." Alexia also said with a smile, and at this moment Alexia's smile was full of anticipation.
After all, Alexia has seen the corruption within the Kingdom of Midgar, and it would be a good result if she could let the men around her scare off some of the increasingly rampant idiots.
"We'll talk about what happens when the time comes. Now we have to talk about what happens next." Li De said to Alexia.
"Is there anything important?" Alexia raised her body slightly and looked at Li De and asked.
"I will also participate in the territory development this time, so remember to ask for leave for me." Li De said lightly.
"Are you going too?" Alexia asked in surprise.
"My sister is leading the family's territory expansion. As the second son, how could I not go?" Li De asked Alexia.
"That's right, it's time to go! I misunderstood and thought there was a powerful existence outside the Misty Mountains that required your personal action." Alexia couldn't help but say.
"How is this possible? With my sister's strength, even if we are close to the core and there are monsters appearing in the area, I don't need to take action." Li De said confidently.
"I know that you and your sister are very powerful. By the way, now that you have joined, you should be able to come back faster." Alexia couldn't help but ask.
"That's hard to say. If we just want to expand the territory, it will definitely not take much time. But after conquering the land, apart from other things, at least we have to prepare camps with certain defensive capabilities for the civilians who will be relocated in advance. Otherwise, there will be no way to expand the territory, and this is where the time is really wasted." Li De spread his hands and said.
"Do you need help?" Alexia continued to ask.
"Forget it. I know very well what kind of people are in the knights on the border. Relying on them will only delay the process. Just rest assured, the Blood Moon incident will not be delayed." Li De shook his head and said.
"Okay then. I will help you handle the situation within the academy." Alexia nodded.
"Well, thank you for your help. This is a reward." After saying this, Li De lowered his head and kissed her again.
"This is a punishment!" Alexia replied, and then indulged in it again.
In the evening, Alice went to King Midgar's study with Alexia.
It was not until two hours later that the two women came out with serious expressions.
The next day, Alexia found Li De again.
"Isn't things going well?" Seeing Alexia's solemn expression, Li De couldn't help but ask.
"No, things are going well!" Alexia shook her head and said.
"But there is no happy expression on your face!" Li De asked with a little curiosity.
"Because I know some things, Sid, you know, father has always known about the existence of the Diabolos Cult. After mentioning Geno last night, father told my sister and me about the darkness behind this world." Alexia then told the content of the conversation between her and her sister and her father last night.
King Midgar told his two daughters that the kingdom could only exist because the Diabolos Cult, which controlled the world from behind, did not dare to step forward openly, so it maintained a tacit understanding with other countries.
After all, once the Diabolos Cult comes to the fore, the secret of immortality will certainly not be kept.
By then, many people will want to replace it because of this, so the top leaders of the Diabolos Cult can only hide behind the scenes where the public cannot know, and then control the world secretly.
And this is known to every king of every kingdom.
Another thing is that there have always been organizations that resist or want to overthrow the Diabolos Cult, and this has never stopped for thousands of years.
But until the Court of Shadows emerged, these groups of naysayers would soon fade into history.
As for the reason, it’s simple: we can’t beat them!
Yes, it’s simply because they can’t defeat them. After all, there are many super powerful people in the Diabolos Cult who have lived for thousands of years.
Who said that the war in the real world is actually a war between magic swordsmen?
The strong can easily crush the weak regardless of their equipment. With super strong people in charge, the Diabolos Cult can always stay firmly behind the scenes and control the world.
It is precisely because the major kingdoms know this that they have been unable to speak out against the Diabolos Cult.
This situation continued until recent years, when an organization called Shadow Court emerged and then changed.
In fact, Li De did not know that the Shadow Courtyard was currently attracting much attention from various kingdoms.
As for the reason, there is only one: he can fight!
The current Shadow Courtyard has become famous in the inner world by constantly destroying the strongholds of the Diabolos Cult, so much so that all the major kingdoms in the outer world have noticed its existence.
Over the past thousands of years, there have been countless kingdoms on the same territory, but no organization against the Diabolos Cult has ever achieved such a brilliant record.
How could this not attract the close attention of all the major kingdoms?
After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the world ruler of the next era will basically depend on who will have the last laugh between the Order and the Shadow Courtyard.
According to King Midgar, an unstoppable trend has arrived.
Because of the Shadow Courtyard, the Cult can no longer hide safely behind the scenes, so it has been taking active actions in various countries, forcing them to take sides. This is also the fundamental reason why Geno dared to take action against Alexia.
If the Shadow Courtyard had not appeared, no matter how much Alexia provoked Geno Gulifi, he would not have been able to achieve this.
After all, there is a special tacit understanding between the cult and the major kingdoms. If the cult does not want to come to the forefront, it must exercise restraint within a certain range.
Therefore, even if others do not tell others, the cult cannot take action against the royal families of various countries who know about the existence of the cult.
This also indirectly shows the extent to which the current cult has been pushed by the Shadow Courtyard.
"What was your sister's attitude after knowing this?" Li De asked curiously.
Because in the original book, Alice chose to cooperate with the cult in the later period, mainly because Alice was severely humiliated and taught a lesson by Sid.
So in the novel, when Alexia found her father and learned the truth, what King Midgar hoped most was that Alexia could get in touch with the Shadow Court and join the Shadow Court's team.
In this way, it doesn't matter even if the two sisters may become enemies in the future, because no matter who wins in the end, at least the bloodline of the Midgar family will not be cut off.
But now Alice has not been taught a lesson by Reed, and is still at a stage of bursting self-confidence. In the original book, Alice at this stage regarded both the Cult and the Shadow Courtyard as enemies of the kingdom.
"My sister hopes that father can cooperate with her to purge the Knights, completely control the army in the hands of the royal family, and then purge the internal affairs and concentrate forces to deal with the upcoming trend. My sister intends to rely on the kingdom's own strength to survive in the trend. After all, only in this way can the kingdom have true independence."
Reed was not surprised at Alexia's answer. After all, before being severely humiliated, Alice was confident that she would not lose to anyone.
"What about you?" Li De continued to ask.
"I'm standing next to you!" Alexia answered readily.
After all, with Li Delai as a comparison, Alexia is not optimistic about her sister.
"If I plan to participate in this trend in the future, will you support me?" Li De continued to ask.
"I'm your woman, and the only thing I can do is support you." Alexia stated her attitude very straightforwardly.
"Your words are enough. Don't worry too much. With my strength, no matter which side is vying for it, I can wait until the last minute to take sides. Then, as the victorious party, I can guarantee that your clan's status will remain unchanged." Li De did not reveal his identity to Alexia, but changed his words.
"Well, I feel relieved when you say that." Alexia replied immediately.
As for whether she is truly at ease, only she herself knows.
Three days later, Alice introduced Claire to her circle at a tea party and officially introduced her as her personal guard, completing the process of the debut party.
On the fourth day, Reed and Claire returned to the Barony of Kageno.
A 200-man guard team also gathered in Li De's castle.
Early in the morning of the fifth day, Claire led the team and Reed to leave the Barony of Kageno and entered the Misty Mountains, officially starting the pioneering war.
Somewhere in the Misty Mountains, a team of 200 people was stationed in a wild and dilapidated village.
Of course, there is no orc left in the village at this moment.
Because these people were all controlled by the guards who raided the house an hour ago, and then they were given time to pack their luggage, and finally they were teleported to the headquarters.
"Alpha's follow-up is up to you." Li De was explaining to Alpha at this moment.
"Shadow, do we really not need to join this mission?" Alpha couldn't help but ask. After all, this time, except for her, Gamma, Ita and Elizabeth, Reed brought everyone else with him.
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Li De nodded and said.
"Since you said so, I wish you all the best." Alpha said.
Li De nodded and opened the panel.
[Please choose one of the following three tasks to carry out:]
① Please go to the world of "Naruto" and say "Do you want to dance too?" in front of Six Paths Madara. (Note: You must pretend once in front of the King of Force, let him know that he is nothing, and by the way, give me a gorgeous battle) Difficulty level [Difficult]
② Please go to the world of "Fairy Tail" and kill Acnologia. (Note: A person who became a dragon because of dragon-slaying magic is actually called the Dragon King. This is absolutely a shame for the dragon clan. Go and kill him.) Difficulty level [Nightmare]
③ Please go to the world of "One Piece" and kill Blackbeard Teach who has obtained the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. (Note: For this loser, you must crush his hope when he is most proud, and then let him die with despair in his eyes.) Difficulty level [Hell]
When the tasks in the Lord of the Rings world are completed, these three tasks will be refreshed on the panel.
Needless to say, the first task is not impossible to do, but the cost-effectiveness is too low.
The strength of the Dance King during the Six Paths Madara period was a little scary. Anyway, Li De didn't want to provoke him at the moment. Even if he just ran up to him to show off, Li De felt it was a bit too dangerous, especially for 50 points.
As for the second mission, it is still to be determined. You have to know that Acnologia is the top BOSS in the Fairy Tail world, and fighting him is quite risky. Li De feels that he may not be able to defeat him.
The third mission is also pending. After all, Blackbeard, who has obtained the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, is not a good person. In addition, Li De has to consider whether the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit will have a restraining effect on him. Once he is sucked in, he may not be able to get out without losing a layer of skin.
When he was in Iluber, Li De was struggling for a long time over which mission to carry out.
Of course, what really made Li De difficult to decide was not the mission itself, but the benefits of going to the mission world.
There are devil fruits in the world of One Piece, and there are various magical magics in the world of Fairy Tail.
Compared to the latter which requires spending points, the former can be learned without spending points.
By comparison, Li De actually prefers to go to the world of Fairy Tail. After all, learning magic does not require spending points, and he can also gain 100 points.
But Li De was worried that if he missed the mission in the pirate world this time, he would not be able to encounter it next time.
If that happens, Li De will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
As for why he regretted it, it was because the pirate world provided Li De with a future path.
Yes, during the time when Iluber was idle, Li De was thinking about how to become truly stronger. This strengthening does not rely on upgrading, but on giving full play to his own advantages and making a qualitative leap while keeping the level unchanged.
After thinking for several days, Li Decai integrated what he had learned and finally saw clearly what his future path should be.
It was because he saw it clearly that he regretted not doing something in the pirate world last time.
So after considering it for a long time, he decided to use the time of the pioneering war to complete the mission to the pirate world.
It was precisely because he decided to go to the One Piece world that he did not plan to bring Alpha and Gamma with him.
The main reason is that they have integrated the abilities of devil fruits. Li De is not sure whether there will be any abnormal situations if the timeline is advanced and they meet people with corresponding abilities, such as Ace.
In addition, the real world really needs to leave enough people to take charge, so Li Decai kept them both.
As for why he didn't bring Ita, it was because Reed didn't want her magic power to be alienated.
Unlike the original book, where Ita's research direction is biased towards modern science, after obtaining the various magic props brought back by Reed from the world of Eight Men, Ita's current research direction has shifted to magic props.
After all, there is ready-made magic power as energy, which is better than using electricity anyway.
In addition, the magic book that Li De brought from the Dicuo world was also given to her.
After reading it, Ita gained a magic called analysis.
As the name suggests, the function of this magic is to analyze everything.
If it were an ordinary person, this magic might not have much effect, but in the hands of a scientific researcher like Ita, it is a killer weapon.
It is precisely because of Ita's own special characteristics that Li De did not want to take her to the pirate world.
After explaining everything to Alpha, Reed took Delta, Beta, Ipsilon, Zeta, Victoria and Claire to the One Piece world.
