Chapter 295 I owe Natsume Reiko a favor.
"Shadow, how far should we go in teaching the target person?" Alpha suddenly asked before Reed got up and left.
After all, this is something that must be confirmed, and many subsequent arrangements will have to revolve around this matter.
Reed was stunned for a moment after hearing Alpha's sudden question, then he pondered for a moment before saying, "This child's physical talent is rare in this world, so there is no need to invest any resources.
Liva, you don't have to rush to teach, just take your time. Of course, you also have to see how the child learns. If he can learn what you teach, there is no need to hide it deliberately."
After listening to Li De's words, Liva had a general idea in mind.
"Master, do we not have to worry about the length of the mission this time?" Gamma heard that Reed did not seem to care how long they would stay in this world, so he specifically asked Reed to confirm.
"It's not that you don't have to care, but you don't have to rush to complete the mission and then reunite with us. Because if nothing unexpected happens, Elizabeth will complete the mission with us first, and then return to this world to find you." Reed shook his head and stated his original intention.
In fact, to be honest, among the three tasks, this is the one that he is most unsure about.
After all, this task is a bit similar to the previous task of traveling through the seven worlds, in that there is no clear standard.
Therefore, Li De had no way of judging when this task could be completed.
Compared with this task, both the task in the first Little Bookworm's world and the task in the third Suqing world have a clear completion standard.
It is precisely because he knew the standards that Li De was able to roughly judge how much time would be needed.
The first task is actually relatively simple and can be completed in a few months if done quickly.
After all, the Japanese high school girl who was reincarnated as the 7-year-old girl Main is a top student who loves reading.
Therefore, as long as the magic crystals accumulated in Maine's body are removed and her health is restored, all that is left is to teach her some magic so that she can gain the power to protect herself.
As for the third mission, as long as we make good use of the information in Reed's original work, it should be no problem to capture Axel as the new base of the Axis Cult.
Therefore, this task is estimated not to take much time, and may be completed in less than a year.
Therefore, in comparison, the quests in the world of the Book of Friends may really be the ones that take up the most time.
In addition, even if the mission in the world of Friends was completed ahead of schedule, Li De would not be able to open the gate and bring the members here to the world of Suqing.
Li De is still very devoted to the goddess.
Even though Eris and Aqua looked weak, it was still a matter of powerful gods, so one had to be extremely cautious.
As for why the rendezvous point was not set in the little bookworm's world, one reason was that there might be gods in that world, and the other was that that world was much more backward than the average other world and did not have any attractions worth visiting.
"Is that so? I understand." After hearing Reed's answer, Alpha nodded thoughtfully.
After all, there is a difference in making plans between being anxious and not being anxious.
"Do you have any other questions?" Li De asked again.
"Master, do we need to investigate about the native gods of this world?" It was Zeta who spoke this time.
"Zeta, you should act according to the circumstances, but put your own safety first." Li De said after thinking for a while.
After all, Li De didn't know how many of the 800 ghosts and gods in Neon were real gods, and how powerful the real gods were.
So when Zeta brought it up, Li Decai was a little hesitant.
However, according to the description of the task, since the strength can be improved, it means that it should not be as exaggerated as those gods in the earthly world.
It was also because of this that Li De hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing to Zeta's investigation.
After all, Zeta is really curious.
"I understand, master. I will be extremely careful." Zeta nodded.
Because she could hear from Li De's answer without any request that her master was afraid of the gods.
"Liva, let's go!" After nodding, Li De finally stood up and walked outside.
About an hour later, Li Decai walked out of the forest slowly with Liva, and then entered the village where the protagonist was.
As soon as he arrived outside the Fujiwara family's yard, Li De saw Fujiwara no Toko collecting clothes.
When Li De and Riva walked over, Fujiwara Touko also saw Li De and Riva.
"Hello, Mrs. Fujiwara, is Natsume-san at home?" Riva stepped forward and asked Fujiwara Touko with a warm smile.
"Takashi-kun is at home. May I ask who you are?" Fujiwara Touko couldn't help but ask.
"My name is Liva, and this is my master. The reason we came to see Mr. Natsume this time is mainly to fulfill an agreement with Ms. Natsume Reiko." Liva said slowly.
"Aunt Reiko?!" Fujiwara Torako didn't expect to hear the name Natsume Reiko.
"Yes, I wonder if I can discuss this in detail with Natsume-kun in person?" Riva continued.
"Sorry, I'll open the door for you right away." Fujiwara Touko quickly put down the work in her hands, then walked over quickly and opened the small iron gate on the short courtyard wall.
"Mrs. Fujiwara, I'm sorry for visiting you. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't mind." Riva then handed over the souvenirs bought by Nakamori Aoko and Mouri Ran.
"You two are so polite. I can't accept this." As soon as Fujiwara Touko saw the packaging, she knew it was a high-end pastry from "Nanatsujiya". The price was not cheap.
"It's just a small gift, not a token of respect." Riva handed the box of snacks to Fujiwara Toko with a smile.
"Thank you so much. Please follow me." Fujiwara Torako accepted the gift after declining it once. After all, it would be very rude not to accept a gift.
After saying that, Fujiwara Toko led Riva and Li De through the yard to the entrance of the Fujiwara family.
After opening the door, Fujiwara Touko walked into the room and prepared slippers for Liva and Li De.
However, only Liva changed his shoes. As for Li De, he did not change them. Instead, he lifted his foot lightly, and then his shoes stepped on a auspicious cloud that appeared out of thin air.
"This is it!" Fujiwara Touko was stunned when she saw this scene.
Then he opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Li De sitting on the dragon throne made of clouds.
Then he turned around without thinking and took Riva and Li De to the living room by instinct. "Ahem, Mrs. Fujiwara, I wonder if we can call Natsume-kun out?" Riva said to Fujiwara Toko.
"Oh, I'm sorry, please wait a moment! Takashi-kun, someone is looking for you, come down quickly." After coming back to her senses, Fujiwara Touko hurried to the stairs and shouted loudly upstairs.
"Hi!" Then a young voice came from upstairs.
Along with the sound of footsteps, a young man with golden brown hair, cat-like eyes and brown pupils, wearing a white shirt and trousers, came down from upstairs.
Behind him, a white, round, fat, short-tailed lucky cat also ran down.
The man and the cat ran down to the entrance of the living room and stopped immediately.
Because Li De sitting on the cloud chair was too conspicuous.
"Takashi-kun, the god is looking for you because of Aunt Reiko." After seeing the man and the cat stunned, Fujiwara Touko quickly stepped forward and said in their ear.
"Auntie Toko, can you see it?" After hearing what Fujiwara Toko said, Natsume Takashi was stunned for a moment before asking.
But then he wanted to slap himself. After all, he couldn't see, so how could Aunt Tazi talk about gods?
"Natsume, be careful with your words and actions. The one in front of you is definitely a genuine god. There is absolutely no mistake about this aura." The cat teacher Madara, who never speaks in front of Tachibana, spoke at this moment.
"Nakaji. spoke?!" When Fujiwara Touko heard Madara speak, the shock in her eyes became even more intense.
"Little fox, have you seen God?" Li De asked with interest.
"It's a pleasure to see you once." Spot nodded.
"Do I have the same aura as the gods you have seen?" Li De continued to ask.
"It's different, and the difference is even quite big, but I will definitely not remember wrongly that special feeling of oppression that overrides the bloodline." Madara answered very affirmatively.
After listening to Madara's words, Li De was less afraid of this world, or the gods of Neon.
Because the local monsters in Japan are most familiar with the local gods. If the gods are on the same level as them, there is not much to be afraid of.
Of course, Li De currently does not know whether this is true or not.
But even if he knew, Li De would at most feel more at ease, but he would not have any extra thoughts.
After all, his mission had nothing to do with those gods, and he had no intention of taking advantage of them.
"Nice to meet you, Natsume-kun. You really look a lot like Reiko." Li De then changed the subject and moved his gaze to Natsume Takashi.
"My Lord God, have you seen my grandmother?" Natsume Takashi asked cautiously after hearing Li De's words.
"Of course I have, otherwise I wouldn't have come to see you." Li De said with a smile.
"Then I wonder what the Lord God wants to talk to me about?" Natsume Takashi still asked very cautiously.
"Little guy, although your grandmother's demonic power is very powerful, she is not enough to challenge me. There is no way my name can appear in the Book of Friends in your hand." Li De said lightly after looking at Natsume Takashi.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" After hearing what Li De said, Natsume Takashi knew that his thoughts just now had been seen through or read by the god in front of him.
"Okay, let me get this straight. Due to some special reasons, Lingzi did me a small favor. I was planning to repay her when I had some free time, but I didn't expect her life to be so short.
Although it is a bit regrettable, there is nothing we can do about it. However, I still remember this favor, so I have been paying attention to her descendants, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. After all, descendants who have not inherited her bloodline are not eligible to inherit this favor. "Li De said to Natsume Takashi in a deceitful manner.
"Well, God, actually..." Upon hearing this, Natsume Takashi instinctively wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Li De before he opened his mouth.
"Little guy, let alone you. Even if Lingzi is still alive, she has no right to refuse me. You just need to accept it obediently." Li De's tone was a little harsh.
"Yes!" Natsume Takashi nodded immediately.
"Your personality is so different from Lingzi's. You have such good talent, but you are so cautious. I see. You have power but don't know how to use it. You have been harassed by monsters since you were a child. This is understandable." Li De said to himself.
After hearing Li De's words, Natsume Takashi lowered his head and trembled slightly, but said nothing.
"It seems that what you need most right now is to receive teaching! Well, it's because I owe Reiko a favor. I'll let Riva stay and teach you for a while. After you learn how to use your own power to protect yourself and your family, Reiko and I will be even. Do you think this is okay?" Li De asked Natsume Takashi.
"Thank you for the gift of God!" Natsume Takashi immediately got up from his seat and replied.
At this moment, his tone was unusually sincere. After all, what he needed most at the moment was to learn to use his own strength to protect himself and the Fujiwara family.
As for the bodyguard, Mr. Cat, he cannot always be with him.
Therefore, it would be best if you could acquire the ability to protect yourself through learning.
It is precisely because of this that Natsume Takashi is really grateful to Li De at this moment.
"It doesn't matter. After all, I have to repay the favor I owe. Liva, the rest of the matter is left to you." Li De then said to Liva.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely teach Natsume-kun seriously." Riva immediately made the promise.
"Well, that's it." After saying that, Li De's figure disappeared in the living room of the Fujiwara family.
When he appeared again, Li De had returned to the previous conference hall.
At this moment, Alpha and others were tasting the high-end snacks from "Shichitsujiya" bought by Aoko Nakamori and Ran Mori, while discussing the next course of action.
"Sid, you're back. Has the issue with Riva been dealt with?" Claire leaned over and asked when she saw Reed appear.
"Well, it has been handled, and there are some extra gains." After Li De finished speaking, he shared the information that Madara had said with the girls.
"Putting it this way, the power of Neon gods is not as exaggerated as imagined." Zeta took the opportunity to speak.
"What Madara said is credible, but it cannot be denied that it is one-sided, so it is better to be careful." Li De nodded, then shook his head and said.
"Indeed, after all, it has only seen the so-called 'God' once, and it is unknown whether that person is a God or not." Ipsilon agreed with Reed's point of view.
"So we do need to be careful, especially when it's not closely related to the mission." Gamma actually doesn't approve of creating unnecessary complications.
