Chapter 15 - Invitation

As they walked through the bustling street, Erica, who had almost finished her shopping, spoke up.

"If you can put the Council of Sages under your control, it will be of great help to your life and future battles."

Erica didn't shy away from the topic of Kaido replenishing Alice's magic.

"You helped Alice gain public support, but don't you think that was a bit inconsiderate?"

The blonde girl used suggestive magic on the passersby without realizing it, so they could discuss such matters without apprehension.

Why do you say that?

Kaido didn't think he had done anything wrong.

If he were a local resident, he might have been more cautious, but he was a transmigrator and someone who knew the plot.

Therefore, no matter what, when facing a local God Slayer, his subconscious had a sense of superiority in terms of information.

And after becoming a God Slayer, this sense of superiority was amplified even further.

What's more, few people can detect it.

"Excuse my audacity. The Council of Sages is an excellent intelligence agency, but the White Princess, famous throughout Europe, has a great connection with the Black Prince."

Liliana's expression was serious as she spoke in a low voice.

He's a local God Slayer from England, and it's rumored that he has an unclear relationship with Princess Alice. Doing this could put you in conflict with him.

The Black Prince Alec, whose real name is Alexander Gascoigne, is the Black Prince who defeated the spectacular vision and the fallen angel Remiel of thunder, usurping the authority of divine speed.

In the past, he instigated the attack on the British Library, the battle for the magical Holy Grail that caused the greatest chaos in the European silver-haired magical world, and several other incidents.

He had known Alice since she was a teenager, so their relationship was extraordinary.

"You're absolutely right, but do you really think Alexander would fight with me just because of Alice?" Kaido asked with a smile.

The Black Prince Alec was considered a rational person, unlike other God Slayers.

However, it was precisely this rationality that led him to break off his relationship with Alice, despite being in a advantageous position.

Otherwise, after so many years, Alexander would have long since come to her base and become the White Princess's partner.

Moreover, an unclear relationship is just a rumor. Otherwise, why would you think that Alice's health has always been so poor?

Alicia and the Black Prince have a more cooperative relationship.

Of course, it's also possible that the Black Prince has a slight affection for Alice, but his pride prevents him from acting accordingly.

However, with Kaido's direct intervention, it won't be long before Princess Alice becomes his... cough cough.

That's right, it's a failure for a man not to pursue an excellent woman who is right in front of him. As the White Princess, Alice is naturally even more outstanding.

Erica tightly hugged Kaido's arm.

"But when I, Erica, grow up, I'll definitely not be inferior to the White Princess... in all aspects."

The mature and voluptuous figure of Alice had really dealt Erica a considerable blow.

Men really like big breasts.

In the following days, the Black Prince Alec didn't come to bother Kaido, but according to intelligence, he seemed to have abandoned England and gone to another place.

Probably didn't want to stay in that sad place after being cheated on by him.

Kaido thought with malicious intentions.

And just when he was about to stay in London for a few more days, he received a message from Italy.

Someone had traveled across the ocean to find him.

"Eagle..."

In the midst of the lingering smoke, Mount Lu, known as "the most beautiful mountain in the world", was shrouded in fine clouds and mist, making a small hermitage at the top of the mountain appear faintly.

A beautiful voice pierced through the clouds and mist, emanating from this small hermitage and reaching the foot of Mount Lu.

And a handsome young man with black hair, who was practicing martial arts at the foot of the mountain, upon hearing this voice transmitted from a thousand miles away, instantly moved his feet, lightly stepping on the stone stairs and flying towards the top of the mountain like a swallow.

Soon, the Black-Haired Youth arrived inside the hermitage, kneeling on one knee not far from a young woman sitting on a meditation cushion.

"I heard that a seventh God Slayer recently appeared in Europe?"

The girl's voice was like the growl of a fierce lion, like the roar of a powerful tiger, but this voice also evoked the beautiful sound of a lunar lute.

With a face as fitting as warm jade and a sitting posture like a timid mimosa, inside the serene and elegant temple, the girl, who seemed to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, was drinking tea, her eyes apparently piercing through the clouds to see further.

Her long, dark hair fell straight down, so beautiful that even the noblest silk couldn't compare.

The white Hanfu she wore was incredibly fitted and elegant, fully showcasing the gentle grace of a Jiangnan woman.

The girl sitting here was named Luo Hao, the one who reigned at the top of martial arts, the leader of the Sacred Cult of the Five Mountains, the Wuxia King of Jiangnan, China, and had also become a God Slayer in her early years.

Thirty percent of the martial artists and sorcerers who had studied Chinese techniques were her followers, swearing absolute obedience to Cult Master Luo Hao.

And the man she called Eagle was Lu Yinghua, the young master of the Lu family in Hong Kong, whose light movement arts were exceptionally formidable.

But only Lu Yinghua himself knew that if his light movement arts weren't exquisite, his master would have beaten him to death countless times.

Luo Hao's name in the magical world was almost a household name; she was the most feared demon, comparable to Marquise Voban.

She never held back when training her disciples; Luo Hao's style was to beat them to death as long as they didn't really die.

Therefore, Lu Yinghua's light movement arts were so exquisite, almost comparable to the ability to fly.

Upon hearing this, this disciple immediately sent people to investigate and discovered that it was true. The seventh God Slayer was born in Milan, Italy, and is also one of our compatriots.

Lu Yinghua told everything he knew.

"Very well, I order you to bring the seventh King here, and do it quickly."

Luo Hao remained silent after speaking.

"This disciple obeys."

Lu Yinghua made a respectful bow and slowly retreated.

He only let out a sigh of relief after leaving the vicinity of the hermitage.

It was a great fortune that his master didn't beat him this time, which also made Lu Yinghua feel a considerable liking for the new King from afar, who was of the same race.

After all, he had personally experienced his master's martial arts.

Being beaten by such a beautiful woman even made Lu Yinghua afraid of women.

The more beautiful a woman was, the more he disliked her.

Fulfilling his mission, Lu Yinghua quickly summoned the intelligence department of the Sacred Cult and easily found Kaido's whereabouts.

The other party had no intention of hiding their movements.

He hoped it would be easier to communicate with his compatriot than with his master.

Thinking of this, Lu Yinghua set off immediately and boarded a plane to England.

Soon, Lu Yinghua met the seventh God Slayer at Princess Alice's mansion.

"Lu Yinghua, disciple of the Sacred Cult of the Five Mountains, greets the new King."

Lu Yinghua, dressed in a fitted suit, looked very attractive. Upon seeing the young man with black hair sitting in a chair drinking tea, he immediately made a respectful bow.

Although he only swore loyalty to Luo Hao, this didn't mean he lacked respect for other kings.

Apart from God Slayers and Heretic Gods, no one wanted to antagonize a God Slayer.

"You arrived before I expected."

—Kaido said with helplessness, putting down his teacup.

After becoming a God Slayer, he had already guessed that Lu Yinghua would come to find him.

Since two God Slayers had appeared in China simultaneously, Luo Hao, with her determined focus, would definitely want to meet him.

The King is truly wise. My master sent me specifically to invite Your Majesty to Mount Lu to converse. What do you think?

Although this was Luo Hao's order, Lu Yinghua couldn't force Kaido to go.

At most, if he wasn't in agreement, he would have to persuade him, even if it meant losing prestige, to bring the new King back to the country.

"What if I say I won't go?"

—Kaido asked.

As he had anticipated, he was mentally prepared.

"Then my master might send me to another world to find my father..."

Lu Yinghua's face fell immediately, filling with a bitter smile of helplessness and fear.

If he couldn't complete the mission, Luo Hao would definitely beat him to death.

"Then I'll go for now. Anyway, if I don't go, Luo Hao's personality will only make things worse."

Kaido nodded and said.

Absolutely right!

Lu Yinghua gave Kaido a big thumbs-up in his heart.

However, another concern arose in his mind.

Two God Slayers appearing in the same country, was this a good thing or a bad thing?

"Young hero Lu, it's been a long time."

After the formal conversation ended, Erica smiled and greeted Lu Yinghua.

As the First Knight, when facing the vassals of other kings, she had to demonstrate even more perfect etiquette.

"It's been a long time, Miss Erica! I didn't expect you to become the personal knight of the new king."

Lu Yinghua showed a flattering smile: a man should bow his head when under someone else's roof.

However, his face always had a hint of a forced smile.

This was understandable; as one of the main beauties of Italy, Erica was naturally on Lu Yinghua's "dislike" list.

"Yes, according to the Chinese proverb, my meeting with the King was entirely destined."

Erica smiled with her eyes closed.

"In comparison to two years ago, you still dislike women very much."

"I'm very determined, I'm absorbed in my training. I don't dislike women; I'm just not interested."

Lu Yinghua's voice was indifferent.

Do you like men?

—Kaido asked.

"You're too concerned, Your Majesty; I just haven't thought of it that way."

"Oh."

This weak response made Lu Yinghua feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Once upon a time, he was also a young master who liked pretty girls, but after being instructed by his master for a few months, he wanted to avoid women whenever he saw them, and even wished that all the women in the world would disappear!

"It seems that Luo Hao gave you a great psychological trauma."

Kaido laughed to himself.

Lu Yinghua had a bitter taste in his mouth.

"But for Cult Master Luo Hao to send you to invite the new King as a guest, doesn't she usually stay secluded in her hermitage on Mount Lu, never seeing outsiders?"
