Just when everything was going smoothly according to plan, Xu Milu sat on the ugly turtle shell, holding a giant tulip as an umbrella.
The heavy tulips, like an overturned tent, perfectly kept the rain out of the petals. The rainwater gathered in the hollows of the stems, forming a trickle that flowed into the tortoise shell. Fanny, somewhat sensitively, shook her animal ears and snuggled closer to Xu Milu.
"Lord Qingluan, is this magical beast angry?"
Xu Milu sat cross-legged on one of the only two dry spots on the entire tortoise shell, and even had the leisure to take out two sesame seed cakes and give them to Fanny:
"Don't be afraid, it just has a loud voice. Actually, like Fanny, it's a gentle and good child."
Actually, she wanted to say "idiot".
What was a deafening, earth-shattering roar to others sounded like the following to her:
"Gaga gaga gaga! (Taking a bath, taking a bath)"
"Gaga gaga, gaga gaga gaga! (Take more baths, keep your back dry)"
"Gaga gaga! Gaga gaga gaga, gaga. (Be careful not to step on them, so annoying.)"
Even though he was enlightened by Sun Wukong and traveled to various planes with Xu Milu, Ah Chou was still an extremely small cub in the Great Ao.
"Huh? Is that so?"
Fanny blushed slightly at the sudden compliment, shyly clutching the cookie, her eyes filled with adoration as she looked at Xu Milu.
"To be able to subdue such a powerful king-level magical beast, Lord Qingluan is such a powerful person, and she is still willing to help us beastmen. Lord Qingluan is also very gentle. She is simply like a god!"
"..."
Xu Milu patted Fanny's head, took a bite of the soft sesame flatbread, and waited for the aroma of wheat to fill her mouth before tapping the turtle shell under her bottom:
"Ah Chou, slow down a bit, don't let them know we're acting."
"Gaga!! (Good!)"
The giant tortoise responded with some excitement, slowing its pace as much as possible, and followed closely behind Aigard's carriage.
From Xu Milu's perspective, Aigard's carriage looked as tiny as a miniature matchbox. If she hadn't had sharp eyesight, she wouldn't have been able to see the half-elf Osik driving it.
"Run!!"
"This monster is chasing orcs! Its target is the orcs! Run!!"
"Thank God! They've headed towards the valley!!"
"Run! You must get the news of the king-level magical beast attack back!!"
The heavy rain obscured their vision, and neither the fleeing knights nor Egard in the carriage noticed that, without their knowledge, the carriage had quietly turned around and headed towards the valley.
...
"Whoosh!!! Snap!!"
A dazzling magical element exploded in the air, rendering the red fire magic powerless. Finally, a green magical firework rose from the direction of the forest.
"Osik caught that guy!"
Xu Milu, sitting on the turtle's back, noticed this and tapped Ah Chou's turtle shell as a hint:
"William and Ella have succeeded too. Ugly, turn around and head to the valley to meet them!"
"Gah... (Okay)"
The giant tortoise stopped its pursuit, seemingly still enjoying the fun of the chase, completely unaware that the humans it was chasing were terrified.
...
...
【Host--】
The system panel appeared faintly, and Xiaoqi's tone was full of confusion:
How did the host guess that Aigard would definitely break the slave contract?
"This..."
Xu Milu took a bite of her pancake, her gaze slowly sliding over the adventurers who were gradually disappearing into the distance on the ground:
"First, let Ah Chou appear to break down Aigard's psychological defenses. Then, Osik will subtly suggest that people are selfish and that treasure is worthless in the face of life. To survive, Aigard will definitely give up everything he can, including Westco County. In order to buy him more time to escape, he will definitely break the slave contract that suppresses the slaves' power. Believe me, even if we put a knife to his throat and force him to break the slave contract, a fool like Aigard will not do it."
A pale blue ball of light floated up and down, circling around Fanny once, before Xiaoqi suddenly changed the subject:
Therefore, the host's decision to save these orcs was not simply out of compassion.
"certainly."
Xu Milu slowly tore at the pancake in her hand, her eyes growing increasingly clear:
"Saving people is a matter of basic morality, but what comes after is not free. Faith arises from fear and the awe of the powerful. The weak seek refuge in the strong, thus offering their faith. If I am to become a god, then Xike County will be my starting point. The Beast God has fallen, and I want to see if anything interesting will happen if the orcs are given a different god to worship."
"I've thought about this for a long time, and I still can't understand why Lavinia would hide the fifth fragment inside the skull of the Corpse of Two."
Her eyes flickered slightly before she continued:
"Later I realized that although Erfu was dead, his spirit remained. Lavinia wanted to devour Erfu and seize the divine status from him."
Before Lavinia appeared, Xu Milu already had a vague understanding of "incense and vow power". If "merit" is the power poured out by believers unilaterally, then "incense and vow power" is more like a product of a certain exchange between believers and believers.
The former is difficult to control and grasp, while the latter can be materialized, just like the "wish power" generated by Wang Pozi and Ding Si Niang. Xu Mi Lu can even use it to make food.
