Now it seems that this great sin, lust, seems to suit him too well.

No wonder Merlin looked so strange when he mentioned this.

As time went on, the Eternal Training lasted longer and longer.

Louis calculated that in terms of time, in about one or two months, he should be able to master all martial arts below level 9.

By then, his actual combat effectiveness will change again.

The dream of eternal training seemed to last a long time, but in reality, not much time had passed.

When Louis opened his eyes again, it felt like a lifetime ago.

The black swan who was resting on the bed had sat down next to him at some point.

Louis glanced at the Black Swan, whose expression had improved a lot, and said:

"You want to leave again? Don't you need to stay a little longer?"

The Black Swan shook his head and said:

“I don’t allow myself to let my guard down too much.”

"Why?"

“It’s easy to enjoy the time when you let your guard down, but it becomes extremely difficult to get back into the fast pace, which is something I will never allow.”

Louis was silent.

That is indeed the case.

It's just like writing a novel and updating it rapidly. Although it's tiring to continuously update 10,000 words a day, it would be very difficult to go back to 4,000 words a day, or even take leave from time to time, and get back to 10,000 words a day.

With the Emperor unable to stand, she had no way of truly enjoying a comfortable life.

Thinking of this, Louis suddenly said:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Black Swan looked at Louis in surprise, and suddenly said, "Okay, if you have time, help me collect some related technologies about space seals. The higher the strength, the better."

Louis nodded.

The Emperor's biggest problem is that once he stands up, it will be difficult for others to withstand the demon army on the other side of the door.

If we give them a little more time, the assembled demon army will enter the Star Continent. Although they will have the advantage in fighting at home, the losses will be enormous.

The Emperor's existence is like a narrow intersection.

Because of him, even if the demons wanted to enter the Star Continent through the Gate of the Abyss, their numbers would be limited.

There is an upper limit to the frequency of demon attacks within a short period of time.

From common sense, the invasion of the Abyss is a collision between worlds.

This level of war is something that no country can withstand.

But because the emperor blocked the door, the war between worlds turned into a war between the four gods and the Unther Empire.

Even in the end, it was reduced to small-scale friction between some demons and the Unther Empire.

This is why Ensel has been able to hold on until now.

But this situation cannot continue.

Because as the number of abyss demons killed by the Emperor increases, the fragments of the origin of the Seven Deadly Sins in the demons' bodies will continue to merge into the Emperor's body.

Mortal sin...is ultimately a very polluting force, and it cannot be suppressed with reason.

From this point of view, laziness, the cardinal sin of the little swan and the black swan, is actually the one that has the least impact on one's own character.

Comparatively safer.

"I will help you pay attention to the relevant technologies, but it is not an easy task to seal the gate of the abyss under the watchful eyes of the four gods of the abyss."

Black Swan nodded and said:

"The sealing power created by ordinary means will soon be pierced again by the bottomless abyss."

"If you find any new methods, you can contact me. I know what kind of seal can block the door."

"good."

But after Louis said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He recalled the conversation between him and Black Swan, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

"Am I overthinking?"

Louis muttered.

"Are you criticizing me again?" Black Swan looked at him.

Louis nodded in agreement:

"I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't remember what it is at the moment."

The Black Swan snorted and said:

"Just take your time to think about it. Sorry for disturbing you during this time. We can talk again when we have time."

She did an elegant skirt-lifting gesture:

"I hope that next time we meet, neither you nor I will be so embarrassed."

A gust of wind blew, Louis blinked, and the black swan disappeared without a trace.

"He's really a guy like the wind."

Louis couldn't help but sigh.

It just so happened that the dream of eternal training lasted for a while. The eternal training, which usually did not consume too much of the spirit, made him feel tired this time.

"Take a shower first."

He went into the bathroom and rinsed off.

The scalding hot water flowed over his skin, taking away some of his tiredness and increasing his sleepiness.

He took out a yukata from the untied dimensional bag and put it on, wiped his wet head, and returned to the room.

He leaned back, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.

But after a moment he frowned and opened his eyes.

"This thing smells pretty good...but maybe I should change my blanket."

There was no sweat smell on the sheets.

It was just that perhaps it was because of the direct contact with the black swan that some of the scent of the perfume remained on her body.

But Louis doesn't like to give other people things that he uses directly.

Bed sheets, quilt covers, pillows, toothbrushes, water cups...

He cannot accept letting others use these things that require direct contact with himself.

But he was indeed a little tired now, and the idea of ​​asking the hotel staff to change the quilt was suppressed.

He didn't cover himself with a blanket and fell asleep directly on the bed.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" he said.

"I, Caesar, don't sleep anymore, open the door quickly." The person who spoke was Alice.

Louis said with some distress:

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me today?"

Alice said carelessly, "Just tell me whether you will open the door or not. If you don't, I will kick it open."

"No, no, no, wait until I get up."

Based on Louis's understanding of Alice, she is really capable of doing such a thing.

Crazy Alice, she never waits until she has the chance to take revenge on someone.

He used to wonder what a beauty like Alice had done to leave behind the legend of the Red Mad Dog in St. Louis College.

Later, after learning from students about some of her past experiences, Louis had to admit that the nickname was not wrong.

If the method of resolving conflicts between boys is more pure, even with a touch of brutality like fistfights.

The ways girls resolve conflicts with each other are often more subtle.

When Louis studied liberal arts in his previous life, he was very familiar with the girls in his class.

Boys who are not familiar with girls simply cannot imagine how... uh, elegant it would be for a normal group of girls to clash with each other. Between girls, it often turns into a clash of public opinion and gossip.

And the atmosphere of internal chat is indeed more gossipy than that of boys.

Of course, if a girl is really pissed off, you might see her throwing tantrums and pulling hair.

But can you imagine Alice working with other girls like a gossip girl?

I can’t think of it. I can’t think of it at all.

If she has a conflict with others and feels unhappy, she may gently tie you up like a dumpling and hang you on the roof.

Then she would gently use the kukri in her hand to draw a line on your aorta, licking her lips and saying, "Dyeing the disobedient works red is also a good option."

If you really piss him off, it's possible that you'll be covered in blood.

Not to mention girls, even ordinary boys have never seen this before!

If this happens four, five, six, seven or eight times, it would be strange if he is not called the Red Mad Dog.

Not to mention that this girl is so wild when she fights.

Even Louis would feel a little uncomfortable fighting her.

It's not that I was suppressed by Alice in terms of skills.

But when fighting with this guy, there is always an illusion that he is fighting a wild beast.

That almost instinctive fighting method, coupled with superb skills, shows too much personal style.

This unique situation makes her stand out from all the opponents Louis has faced so far.

These are the rare opponents whose styles are so unique that he simply cannot forget them.

Even if some people have better skills than Alice, they would not give Louis such a feeling.

Later, Louis realized that this feeling was called "unique talent."

"Stop knocking. You're almost breaking the door."

After Louis opened the door, Alice walked in with an unhappy look on her face.

With a bang, the door closed on her.

"Why are you so slow? I'm getting impatient waiting for you."

"I was just sleeping!"

Louis rubbed his messy hair and said speechlessly: "Why did you suddenly come to me at this time?"

Alice leaned forward, her majestic figure swaying for a moment, and poked Louis with a dissatisfied look on her face:

"Where's the stuff? Give it to me!"

"ah?"

"Red Erotic Dream, that is my Ashford family's heirloom, you don't want to take it for yourself!"

Alice said unhappily.

Louis slapped his head and said, "Sorry, I wanted to give it to you before, but after rescuing Olivia, I forgot about it."

"But your big treasure is quite useful. I can't get it anywhere else. I want to get one too."

Alice gnashed her teeth and said, "If you can get it easily, how can you still call it an Ashford heirloom?"

"That's true."

"Have you taken a shower?"

"Well, I just carried out two eternal trainings, and I'm a little tired."

Alice shook her head and said, "Given your situation, eternal training is actually a detrimental behavior for you. It would be good to take a break."

"Greedy desire to survive really comes in handy in this regard."

"It's not just a matter of greed and desire to survive."

"It's just a matter of greed and desire to survive. Without it, it wouldn't be as easy for me to learn martial arts as it is for you guys."

Alice knew the man in front of her very well.

Perhaps as Louis said, in terms of pure learning ability, Louis cannot compare with her.

But this does not mean that the learning ability that Louis has mastered with the help of [Greedy Desire to Survive] has nothing to do with him personally.

As the Emperor's mad dogs, many people in the outside world suspect that if the Emperor had not seen them, the Ashford family would most likely accept the call of Khorne from the Four Gods of the Abyss and become Khorne's Chosen Ones.

In fact, there was indeed a Chosen One of Khorne in the history of the Ashford family.

So some of the rumors out there...are not actually rumors.

Because of the special nature of the Ashford family, the children of the family's top brass actually know much more relevant information than other people.

Alice hadn't paid much attention to Louis before, and didn't know he was the Great Sin - Greed, so she couldn't understand his strange abilities.

But after knowing that he was guilty of the great sin of greed, she could not understand it any more.

Only some people who can gain the trust of the Great Sin know what the extension of the Great Sin's ability means.

The skills of a mortal sin are a reflection of the character traits of the individual mortal sinner.

She knew one of the Emperor's deadly sin abilities, called "Lord of Pride".

The effect is extremely simple and crude. When a person faces multiple enemies and the enemies are more powerful, the emperor's destructive power will be directly increased.

Her father described the Emperor this way:

"Sin's authority is an extension of Sin's individual character, and the Emperor is so arrogant that he wants to handle all problems himself."

"This is the absolute embodiment of the emperor's tyranny. When he is on the verge of despair, he taps into endless power."

"It's just that this kind of power is too lonely."

So after knowing some of Louis' skills, Alice actually felt a little strange.

Greedy desire for knowledge.

Greedy ruler.

The mask of greed.

Greedy Grip.

Louis never hid this from those with whom he had a close acquaintance.

From Alice’s perspective, if what her father had told him before was true, then the portrayal of Louis’ character corresponding to the four authorities was very strange.

She could understand Louis's greed and desire for knowledge. As a test subject of the White Tower, the whole world was extremely unfamiliar to him after he came out of the White Tower.

This sense of strangeness made him have a strong desire for all knowledge.

The more he knew, the more at ease he would be.

The Greedy Ruler...she couldn't quite understand it.

The only explanation is that after he suddenly became an imperial prince from a slave, his desire for power expanded greatly.

But she felt that this speculation was not very similar to reality.

She had been in contact with Louis for some time, and it could be seen that he did not really pursue power.

Otherwise, when he was traveling around as Mayer, he could have taken the opportunity to form a small group of new aristocrats.

This is a force that can be directly influenced by him.

But Louis seemed to have little interest in dealing with the new nobility.

She couldn't understand the mask of greed even more.

What kind of strong desire makes him need to "put on a mask"?

Greed's Grasp is actually the most normal one.

Take the power into your own hands. The more you have, the more at ease you will feel.

This skill, like the Emperor's [King of Pride], is a manifestation of absolute confidence in one's own strength.

——Although no one knows where their confidence comes from.

If Louis knew what Alice was thinking, he would probably pat her on the shoulder and give her two hints.

A time traveler wandering in a foreign land.

A future diary to record the future.

These two factors are the key factors that induce the great sin of greed for power.

Unfortunately, Louis may not have the chance to reveal this secret.

Tomorrow day 10,000
