"So how are you going to deal with Lilith? And that succubus?"
"Also, what do you plan to do if Luo Fan runs away? He also knows spatial magic. Once he abandons all the girls, he'll have almost no weaknesses. That guy is known for being vengeful!"
"Would he abandon his master?" The emperor calmed down considerably at the thought of Lilith. Luo Fan had indeed mentioned yesterday that his abilities were taught by Lilith.
“If we push him too far, he definitely will. His current goal is to take human form. I don’t even want to imagine the consequences if we take the initiative to attack him.”
Caitlin was getting anxious. Luo Fan had indeed grown too fast recently, and she really didn't want to betray him.
“Your Majesty, Catelyn is right. That little fellow is too alert; he was able to sense my presence.” Gandalf’s figure gradually appeared.
"He successfully broke through, and many of his clones have hidden themselves and are using spatial teleportation. I haven't been able to track any of them."
The emperor fell silent. That slime could sense the presence of a Saint-level Archmage—how could he possibly capture it? If, as his daughter said, it escaped, the damage would be incalculable.
After all, he was able to infiltrate the treasure vault silently, and there was nothing they could do to prevent it.
Caitlin looked at her father with concern. Luo Fan must have considered all sorts of situations before choosing to reveal his abilities in this area.
"Father~"
"Your Majesty, since Luo Fan is now at your service, why not slowly build up your strength? Caitlin, is that slime ambitious?"
After thinking for a moment, Caitlin shook her head. "His current goal is simply to transform into human form and then marry the girl next to him."
That guy often calls himself the "Dog Emperor" and even calls himself the "Slime King." He teases girls every day, but he has no ambition whatsoever.
The emperor was speechless, not understanding why Gandalf asked such a question. How much ambition could a slime possibly have? Even if it successfully transformed, its essence would still be that of a magical beast; it would be absurd for humans to obey it.
But if he were truly pushed into the hands of an opposing force, he would feel a chill run down his spine. That thing was skilled in assassination, and spatial magic was no joke.
"Sigh, never mind, you can handle this. Let him help my water monkey improve sometime." He sighed, abandoning his previous idea; that guy was still too slippery.
Moreover, he had helped me a lot before, so if I were to deal with him, it would probably have a bad impact.
"Okay, thank you, Father. I'll go back and take care of my business now!" With that, Caitlin, relieved, happily ran out.
"Teacher, you also think Caitlin is right, right? I feel like she might have fallen for that slime."
Gandalf was amused by these words.
"Your Majesty, he is just a slime now, a pet-like existence. Don't keep thinking about what will happen after he transforms into human form. You're getting too attached to that!"
"Don't let short-term gains cloud your judgment. Take a longer-term view and compare the gains and losses, and you'll know what to do." Gandalf shook his head and disappeared.
"Should we take a longer-term view? The Elf Realm~" the emperor muttered to himself, indeed, only through cooperation could they obtain the greatest benefits.
When Caitlin returned to the manor, Luo Fan was still in his room playing with Xianxian and Xiaoxue. Freya was still muttering to herself, asking Luo Fan every now and then when he was going out.
That guy has no ambition whatsoever; as long as no one interferes with his life, he won't bother with anything. However, the Southwest Chamber of Commerce and the Temple of Vulcan will probably be in trouble soon.
"Luo Fan, when are you going to transfer the inscription to my father?"
"We need to wait until his pet is ready, otherwise there will be problems. You can ask Freya if you don't believe me; she's been through it once."
Immediately afterwards, the two girls started chatting, while Luo Fan quietly chatted with Xianxian and Xiaoxue, all the while waiting for Tifa's message.
"Brother Fan, when will I be able to break through?"
"You two shouldn't rush. It's best to wait until we enter the Elf Realm, where the magic energy is more abundant." Recalling the three girls' previous breakthroughs, and Xuanwu's as well, Luo Fan decided to let the girls wait a little longer.
Besides, there's still a difference in level between Xiaoxue and Xianxian, so there's no rush. There's also Huoyu, so we need to consider this little guy as well.
"Oh, okay, then I'll stabilize my current level first." Xianxian obediently agreed, causing ripples on the surface of the hot spring.
Xiaoxue didn't say anything. She was only level 48 at the moment and needed time to catch up with her friends.
As for Huoyu, he was meditating with Emil and was only level 45, even after consuming a lot of Fire Spirit Liquid.
Knowing the details, Caitlin suddenly realized that Freya's pet had been the subject of such an incident before. Her father's magical pet was far inferior to Freya's, and blindly increasing its inscriptions could very well trigger an even greater backlash.
After all, that monkey was forced to grow up and even achieved a breakthrough through sheer force.
However, the principle of extracting inscriptions is so simple. My father has a demon-sealing array, so it seems I can study it myself. Anyway, I have Gandalf's guidance.
After figuring it out, Caitlin felt much more at ease. Wouldn't this reduce Luo Fan's value, and would her father be less concerned about him?
"By the way, is there a demon-sealing array in the palace?" Upon hearing Luo Fan's telepathic message, Freya seemed to have seen something even more interesting and stared at Caitlin.
“Yes, could it be that you want to?” Caitlin suddenly realized something as well.
"Of course, I've been wanting to do it myself for ages, but I just haven't found the opportunity. The palace should still have some extra inscriptions, right?"
Looking into her bright, expressive eyes, Caitlin immediately understood.
She and I were thinking the same thing. After all, she's our own knight commander and has experience, so it's not like we can't take her along. Ideally, Luo Fan could come along too.
When they finally decided to look for Luo Fan again, he was already gone.
"Xianxian, where is Luo Fan?" Caitlin asked.
"He said he had something to do and went to see Tifa."
That bastard, is leaving the manor this easy now?! Could it be that he's going to cause trouble?
"Princess, we don't need to worry about him. If he really succeeds, it will be a huge step forward." Freya said anxiously, completely forgetting her agreement with Luo Fan.
"Oh, let's go. I'll inform Professor Gandalf first; it'll be more reassuring to have him around."
Only after they left did Luo Fan, nestled in Xianxian's arms, finally breathe a sigh of relief. If he had taken Freya out, who knew what kind of trouble it would have caused, and Bella's true identity would have been discovered.
There are some things that need to be kept away from Caitlin, after all, she is still the princess of the empire, and that emperor is a schemer.
After giving the girls a few more instructions, and noticing that Gandalf's attention had wandered off, Luo Fan left.
Outside the city, Bella, dressed as an ordinary adventurer, sat in a carriage heading towards the volcanic dungeon. Her level 45 Swiftbird, requisitioned by its master, had already set off before her.
The owner is still so mysterious, managing to handle such a small pet, and even telling me not to rush things, so thoughtful.
Bella's thoughts wandered. She had already identified several potential assassins and was training them systematically. However, it would take time for them to become combatants.
The master didn't inquire about his subordinates' affairs at all, but was more concerned about my situation and even gave himself a lot of wind-type spiritual materials.
Bella was deeply moved. Her master was still so kind, and following him was definitely the wisest choice she had ever made.
Since we're working with our master this time, we can't afford to lose face; we must do things perfectly.
At this moment, Luo Fan, who had already arrived in the hot spring town, found Angela, left the Gale Bird nearby, gave Angela a few instructions, and then disappeared.
The second wave of promotional activities at the hot spring town is about to begin, and I wonder how many more people will suffer.
