May 28, the two-story manor in Mengfeila, a weekday.

"Hey, why don't you just join Beldette?"

Efalene stood on tiptoe and squatted on the statue of the Veela Paladin, as if to show off her outstanding sense of balance. "Even if you leave Monfera, where do you think you can escape to? Gospel's latest "Family List", you have offended nine of them; the Imperial Royal Family is wanted for you, and the Red Hats are waiting to use you to gain points; your contract with Annan must be an unequal slave contract, she is the kind of woman who will not give up an inch... You can either become dog meat or continue to be a dog, so why not be a dog for Beldette? Our welfare is so good!"

Yaxiu was wiping the grooves of the statue where dust was most likely to accumulate. He slapped her hanging skirt away in annoyance: "But you have to work overtime!"

"I can give you two days off a week!" Yifalin said seriously, "That's two days off a month! One more day than others! You can have one day to rest and one day to spend!"

Shit, I had two days off a month before I traveled through time, and I also had two days off a month after I traveled through time, so didn’t I travel through time in vain! ?

And how did the people of Mengfeila manage to get loans for consumption even if they only had one day off? The efficiency of the internal consumption cycle is too high, which actually breaks the workplace truth that "overtime work can make you spend less money"!

"But can you protect me?" Ash asked, "I'm a wanted criminal now."

"Gospel." Yilin held her face with both hands and said, "I can directly use the Gospel points and ask the Gospel to delete your wanted order."

"But wasn't the wanted order issued by the Empire?" Ash asked in shock, "Can the Gospel directly control the Empire? No, should I say that the Gospel can actually directly affect the operation of society?"

"In the hands of ordinary people, magicians, and us, Gospel Points have different values." Yifalin said: "Ordinary people can only use Gospel Points to buy temporary happiness, magicians can use Gospel Points to exchange for powerful strength, and in our hands, Gospel Points are universal energy."

"Gospel points are very similar to currency. When the currency you own reaches a level that is rich enough to rival a country, you can influence prices, leverage social machinery, trigger mass incidents, and even literally become an 'enemy'. Although Gospel points cannot be circulated, the Gospel Book, a universal wishing machine, simplifies your 'consumption path' to the extreme. For example, if you want to buy a chocolate ball, you have to know where to buy it, then purchase it through a medium, and then wait until you get it, but the Gospel Book..."

Efalyn summoned the Gospel, and then a bag of cookie chocolate balls appeared in her left hand: "Although it is expensive, it does skip all the steps... Do you want to eat it?"

"Give me one unconditionally to try." Ash answered flawlessly.

Falin glared at him unhappily and stuffed a chocolate ball into his mouth. "Although it will certainly be very costly, Berdette can still remove your wanted warrant."

"If you're so powerful, why doesn't Red Hat just use Gospel Points to catch me?"

"The Gospel can change the weather, bring back the dead, and distort reality, but it can't fix the ever-changing human heart, nor can it directly obtain people's privacy." Yilin tossed the chocolate balls in her hand: "For example, these chocolate balls may come from a certain store. The Gospel just helped me to transport them and paid for them, instead of controlling a certain chef to make them for me instantly."

"It's the same with changing the wanted order. The Gospel will not delete everyone's idea of ​​hunting you down, but it will directly block the Empire's wanted order, cancel the reward for your capture, and block all relevant news about you in various public opinion channels, thus canceling your wanted order in the end."

"So from this point of view, the Yisu royal family doesn't really care about you." Yilin said while eating a chocolate ball for a hundred years. "If they really want to, they will post your wanted posters everywhere you can see, and offer a reward so generous that it can distort the minds of the people. If the desire is big enough, I will not be able to suppress the greed of the Monferra people."

"In my opinion, the wanted order for you is just a way for the Empire to appease the major powers and show its attitude. The Empire has not paid too much attention to you. After all, on the night when the Art List came out, I asked Nabistin in my capacity as the mayor of Mengfera to catch you, a criminal who is still so arrogant in the apocalypse. There are at least a dozen leaders who have complained with me."

Ash had a flash of inspiration: "In other words, you can manipulate it in reality and make other leaders stop hating me, then the Empire will cancel the wanted order?"

"Indeed you can." Yifalin said, "As long as you sign this piece of paper..."

"Marriage registration certificate?"

"It's an IOU. The amount is not that big, just 100 million gold coins. For the deposit, I only need 90% of your thinking ability. You don't need that much anyway."

"No!" Ash shook his head. "Why should I mortgage 90% of my brain while Igula gets such good treatment?"

"Hmm..." Yifilin murmured, "If you want the same treatment as Igula, it's not impossible to negotiate..."

"Ah?" Ash was startled: "You want to marry me too?"

The blue-haired man suddenly took out a gold coin from his bag and put it into the chest of Ash's collar, "This is compensation." Then he chopped Ash's head with a knife.

"How dare you humiliate me like this..." Ash gritted his teeth and put away the gold coins.

"Let's not talk about the fact that I look down on you, a person with inferior genes that have not been selected by miracles. The head of the Beldette family will never marry." Yifalin snorted: "Alas, but I also know that facing a beauty like me who ranks first in Mengfeila, it is inevitable that you have such wishful thinking——"

"Fortunately not. This way, at least the child won't blame me for his height in the future..."

Watching Efaleen produce nearly a ton of gold coins expressionlessly and slam them to the ground with a thud, Ash raised his head stubbornly and asked, "Can I wear a helmet?"

"You want to be powerful and wear a helmet at the same time. Do you think such a good thing will happen?"

"Blue-haired Goblin... I'm not talking about you!"

When Efaleen got up from Ash's body refreshed, the broken-looking Ash put the gold coins into his arms with a stubborn expression.

Because most of the magic spirits have changed into two wings, and Ash has been fighting too frequently in the virtual world these days, the magic spirits who are working overtime are getting hungry quickly. His gold coins are not enough to feed the magic spirits. Only by cheating some money from the big capitalist Yifalin can he solve his urgent needs.

Yaxiu could have asked Annan for money, but Annan insisted that he show the magic spirits he had, and then provide a fixed amount of money according to the number of magic spirits. If Yaxiu asked for money frequently, Annan would ask him why he used the magic spirits so frequently, whether he went to pay taxes, or whether he started his own business without telling his boss. Yaxiu always felt that if he continued like this, sooner or later the abnormality of virtual realm exploration would be exposed, so he tried not to ask Annan for money.

"So you still don't want to join Beldette?" Yiflin said, "I will give you a very generous contract."

"You've been harassing me for several days." Ash said, "Compared to me, isn't Harvey your best option? He will inherit your ancestors' legacy in the future and dig up your family's graves."

"He's too troublesome. I actually didn't think of recruiting him from the beginning." Yilin shrugged. "As for the inheritance of the Death Angel... that's the inheritance of the angels, not the inheritance of the family. Harvey in the video is right. Beldette has no qualifications to inherit the angels' inheritance. I only need to protect the dominant faction and Beldette."

"I only need you and Igula." Yifalin looked at him and said, "Tell me what you want. I don't believe that Beldette can't satisfy you!"

"Anyway, the treatment cannot be worse than that of Igula." Ash wet the rag and continued to wipe the statue. Although he had just been scolded by the hostess, he was just a small butler and still had to work.

"If you refuse to give in even if you die..." Yifalin hesitated and said, "No problem, I can promise you!"

"Didn't you say you can't get married? Oh, I see. We can only be lovers?"

"Bullshit! I just think you're actually quite suitable for Anfield."

Ash was shocked: "Wait, but isn't Anfil in a passionate relationship with Igula right now? You want me to steal Igula's lover?"

"Anfil can have more than one lover." Yifalin looked at him seriously. "In fact, if you think about it carefully, you and Igula, one is smart and the other is stupid, one is cold and the other is cheerful, one is delicate and the other is rough, one is for daytime use and the other is for nighttime use, it's just right to marry them both home."

"Who is for daytime use and who is for nighttime use... never mind." Ash said helplessly, "Can't you just give me a clause other than giving me a wife?"

"You really just want to know the contract between Igula and us." Yifalin said softly, "I knew you were just trying to fool me."

"Who said that? If your terms are good enough, I'll definitely agree!"

"If you were so worried about Igula and didn't want him to stay in Beldette, why didn't you interrupt their date that night?" According to Efaleen, who was bending over to watch Ash working, "My original plan was to hope that you would succeed in causing trouble, so that Igula would hate you and completely join us - otherwise, do you think the remote control would be so easy to throw away?"

"You owe Harvey, the one you stepped on, an apology!"

Ash said unhappily: "I just think Igula is smarter than me. Since he thinks it's okay, why should I make my own decision? Besides..."

"What if you are sincere to him?"

According to Yilin's earnest persuasion: "Yes, since even a smart man like Igula is willing to join us, why don't you want to come along?"

Ash carried the bucket to another statue, wrung out the rag and continued working.

"Because he didn't invite me to join him."

The cult leader shrugged: "Maybe he thinks I have a better future with Miss An Nan?"
