I will be your savior.
As for whether you're happy or not, whether you're willing or not... what does that have to do with me?
Charlie nodded silently, not wanting to dwell on this point any longer.
It's truly tragic that you have to beg this madman for help when the person on the other end is insane.
However, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, but Ning Feng was not happy about it.
Is that all?
No, I still have something to say.
Sensing the other side's compromising attitude, Ning Feng, sensing an opportunity, had no intention of giving up.
"In that case, let's finalize the rest first, so we don't end up having any unpleasantness later."
Charlie: Is there anything else?
Ning Feng laughed and spoke directly:
"Helping is mutual. If I offer help, you should give me some kind of compensation, right? That's reasonable, isn't it?"
“You are also of noble birth, so you should be able to understand what I mean.”
The other person's choice of words and mannerisms revealed their background. Moreover, the fact that they could serve as a non-productive priest during the Dark Ages and be a nominal village chief suggests that their identity was not a secret.
After a moment's hesitation, Charlie slowly nodded.
That's a reasonable request.
"What kind of compensation do you need from us? We can't offer much money."
Greywater is just a small outlying town. Although it is close to the forest and has a lot of hunting products, it has long since run out of currency due to its isolation from the outside world.
The investigation revealed that the other party could not find out what they needed from him.
"Compensation? It's simple."
Ning Feng's gaze swept over Charlie, and his thoughts seemed self-evident.
Charlie: ?
Could it be that...?
Although he had heard similar rumors in some secluded monasteries, he himself had no interest in them.
no!
Absolutely not... but, if it's truly for the sake of escaping this fate...
The more Ning Feng looked at Charlie, the wider the smile on his lips became.
Ning Feng almost cheered for his own idea.
Just as Charlie was about to ask, Ning Feng spoke up.
He said:
"All I want is for you... to stop believing in your gods."
The clouds that had been obscuring the crimson moon parted, and the scarlet moon reappeared in the night sky.
The crimson moonlight streamed into the room, illuminating the scene within.
A smiling demon seduces a loyal priest.
"See, isn't it simple?"
Malice flows freely!
...
...
“Heroic King! Sophie Jaslin and her fiancé Anthony Ian come to pay homage to you.”
Sophie, who showed no sign of dishevelment, was gently placed down by Anthony and gracefully bowed to the skeletal king under the watchful eyes of countless undead nobles.
"I apologize for the delay caused by some minor issues. I sincerely apologize to you."
With a slight bow and a graceful movement, Sophie performed the most rigorous and ancient etiquette of the Dark Ages.
Even when stared at by hundreds of gazes whose intentions were unclear, she, an ordinary person, showed no fear.
She was already used to the way others looked at her.
In countless arenas of fame and fortune, she is always among the most dazzling, forever the focus of everyone's attention.
Women will pay attention to her every move, trying to find any detail that can be used to attack her.
The men kept appearing and disappearing around her, trying to find an opportunity to get into her bed.
The other nobles regarded her as the face of the Jaslin family and treated her with great respect.
Sophie is more than just Sophie.
She is Jasmine, she is a diplomat of the Silver Council, she is the fiancée of the Yin family, she is...
She wore masks, so heavy that she couldn't distinguish which of the countless masks represented her true self.
This competition was originally just a final indulgence.
But I never expected it to turn out like this.
Perhaps everything changed the moment he abandoned everyone else and chose him.
Do you regret it?
Ha, who knows?
"Get up."
A deep voice rang out from the throne, interrupting Sophie's rare reverie.
The king's voice contained little anger, but rather a faint smile:
"Haha, what an ancient etiquette! I suppose you also come from an ancient family."
Generous and unconcerned with trivialities.
Even with his head bowed, Sophie could discern the king's outward personality from his voice.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Since that was the case, Sophie stopped making further excuses and humbly and gracefully raised her head.
Even though she had met several legends, Sophie was still quite shocked when she finally saw what they looked like.
The other party was unlike any other legends I had ever seen before.
It's hard to say that the skeletal king before us belongs to the human camp.
Green flames burned in the empty eye sockets, and the scarred skeleton revealed its paleness and ferocity. The greatsword of white bones beside it was also covered with cracks.
This is an absolutely extraordinary being!
Even though the Skeleton King did not actively exert pressure, the pressure emanating from it still engulfed her like a tidal wave.
Just as she was about to lose her balance and fall, she felt a slight push from behind, and Anthony gently caught his fiancée.
"However, since you're late, I have a very simple request: you can lead the dance."
Lead dancer?
Sophie glanced at Anthony's ankle, which was beginning to rot due to the potent poison in his wound, took a deep breath, and turned back.
"Your Majesty, before I begin the dance, I have something to report to you!"
“I have a… prophecy here.”
