Chapter 183 The Defected Princess Hiding in Soros "You're talking about something unimportant?" Maya showed a surprised expression when she heard Lear's words. Li Er smiled, glanced at Miria, whose cheeks were slightly red in his arms, and said casually: "The position of special executive officer was given by the goddess of war, but I have no interest in this position, and I don't want to manage the affairs of the War Church." His tone was very calm, but Maya opened her mouth with an incredible expression on her face. A war believer who was blessed by the goddess of war would actually say such outrageous words. Maya even began to doubt Lear's faith. Lear didn't say anything about Maya's shock. He just nodded and took Miria's hand and left. It was not until they were far away from Maya and Divine that Milia said strangely, “Is that okay with you?” "Any questions?" Lear turned his head. "Aren't you a believer in the laws of war? Then why are you still..." Millia seemed to be hesitant to speak. "I am not a believer in the laws of war." Lear interrupted Millia.
As he spoke, his eyes became deep. The NPCs in the game rely on faith to gain strength, but he doesn't need it. He neither believes in war nor blood and the Morning Star. He does not believe in any gods. Lear didn't say much to Millia about faith, and took her away from the Pope's Hall. Before going out, he also prepared masks for himself and Milia to prevent being discovered by players. After a night, the number of players on the road increased a lot. Looking at the players with IDs, Lear pretended to pass by as if nothing had happened. Some players were curious when they saw Lear and Millia wearing masks, but they did not rashly use reconnaissance skills. "Are these people all aliens?" Millia, who was following Lear, suddenly asked. "Can you feel it?" Lear looked at Millia with some surprise. "These people's souls are so strange." Millia nodded. As the goddess of Morning Star, Millia's perception was very sharp. "Where are you taking me?" she asked again. "I took you out for a walk. You can't stay in the church all the time." Lear smiled. "Is that so?" Millia looked at Lear suspiciously. In the next few hours, Lear proved that he was not lying. He took Millia to tour the Soros Royal City until the afternoon. Milia held an ice cream cone in her hand and licked the creamy ice cream with her tongue. She looked a little strange, "You seem to be very familiar with the Soros Royal City?" "I've been here before." Lear nodded without elaborating. He took Millia to a remote alley. There was a shop open in the alley, and the sign in front of the door read Mena's Book House. This is a bookstore. From the door, you can only see piles of books. Inside the bookstore, a woman with glasses is reading a book seriously. "What is this place?" Milia asked puzzledly. "A bookstore." Lear answered with a chuckle.
Hearing Li Er's answer, Milia pouted. Of course she knew that this was a bookstore, after all, it was written on the sign, but this was not what she wanted to ask. Lear didn't explain much and walked into the bookstore with a smile on his face. As a player who was born in the Soros Royal City in his previous life, he knew everything about Soros, including some hidden tasks. The bookstore in front of you is one of them. Sensing someone walking into the bookstore, the woman who was reading looked up, and when she saw Lear and Milia wearing masks, she frowned. The woman put down the book in her hand and asked, "What's the matter?" Lear ignored the woman's question and walked to the bookcase and started reading the books on it. Seeing that the masked weirdo didn't speak, the woman frowned even deeper, and she said in a deep voice: "If you have nothing to do, please leave." "Isn't this a bookstore? It should be okay for me to come in and read some books, right?" Lear finally spoke. He turned his head and looked at the woman beside him. At this time, Millia also walked in, and was stunned when she saw the woman's appearance. The woman with glasses in front of her gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen her somewhere before. "You can read, but my library doesn't welcome people who hide their true colors!" After hearing what Lear said, the woman's expression turned cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a lot. The atmosphere became a little subtle, but Lear did not take any action because of the woman's words. He just continued to look at the books on the bookshelf, and then said calmly: "Why is Princess Mena angry?" As Lear spoke, when she heard the words Princess Mena, the glasses-wearing woman's pupils shrank suddenly, and then she revealed a dangerous expression. "Who are you?" the woman said coldly. Lear took off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance. "Lear Stuart, special executive of the Church of War," he introduced himself. Looking at Lear's face, Mena tried to recall carefully, but she had no impression of either the name or the face in front of her. There is also a special executive of the War Church. She had only heard of the War Archon, but had never heard of what a special executive was. "How do you know my identity? What do you know?" Mena took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice. "You are Mena Kalia, the eldest princess of the Kalia royal family. Your sister is Mea Kalia." Facing Mena's question, Li Er did not answer, but instead spoke to himself, "Five years ago, you stole the forbidden arcane book from the royal family of Kalia, then fled the Kingdom of Kalia and came to the Royal City of Soros, where you hid." Mena Kalia is Maya Kalia's sister. She was also a very famous wizard in Lear's previous life, a wizard of extraordinary level. Before that, he was a member of the Arcane Council and a talented wizard. It sounds unbelievable that an extraordinary wizard is hiding in the headquarters of the Church of War, but Mena Kalia used this to avoid being captured by the Arcane Council. In the previous life, a wizard player accidentally discovered the bookstore and triggered the quest. Li Er didn't know how the wizard player triggered the quest, but he still knew the content of the quest. Princess Mena wanted to unlock the secret of the forbidden arcane book after getting it, but this arcane book was not simple. This is an arcane book that records forbidden spells, and is also a powerful relic of law.
Princess Mena's expression became uglier as Lear spoke. She was shocked and a little bit unbelievable. During the five years she had been hiding in the Soros Royal City, she had never told anyone about her affairs, but the young man in front of her knew everything about her. How did the other party know? Mena's eyes flickered as she pondered a strategy: kill the young man in front of her and then escape from Soros? A dangerous thought came to Mena's mind. She has reached the final stage of analyzing the forbidden arcane book. For the sake of that book, she gave up her identity and status in the royal family of Kalia and hid for five years. She must not fail! Mena's eyes became sharp, and at this moment, Li'er's voice sounded again, "I advise you not to do anything too dangerous." "We are both extraordinary professionals. You can't do anything to me. Besides, your sister, Maya Kalia, is in Soros now. You don't want your sister and the Arcane Council to know your whereabouts, do you?" Lear spoke slowly and calmly. The player in the previous life took great pains to complete the task, and finally obtained some powerful spell rewards from Mena, but these were not what Lear wanted. What he wanted was the spells in the forbidden arcane book. The immortal witch. This was the title of Mena Kalia in her previous life. It was only after she analyzed the arcane book that Mena revealed her amazing power. No matter how many times she is killed, she always rises from the dead. With Lear's current strength, there is almost nothing in the Royal City of Soros that can attract his attention, and Mena's arcane book is one of the few things that can arouse Lear's interest. Coming back from the dead is an ability only players have. "How did Maya appear in Soros?" Mena questioned with disbelief. "How long have you not left this house?" Lear asked instead of answering Mena. Mena was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had not been out for half a month, and indeed she did not know much about what happened in Soros Royal City. If Maya is really in Soros now, she must be protected by members of the Arcane Council. If she fights with the man in front of her, there will definitely be a lot of noise. The other party might be some special executive of the War Church. If she attracts the attention of the War Church and Maya, she will lose more than she gains. After weighing the pros and cons, Mena's face turned extremely ugly. She took a deep breath and said to Li Er: "What do you want?" "I want your book of arcane arts," Lear replied. "Impossible!" Mena refused without hesitation, and her eyes turned fierce when she looked at Lear. "Do you want the Arcane Council to discover your whereabouts?" Lear threatened. "Even if I'm discovered and captured by the parliament, I will never give the arcane book to you!" Mena's attitude remained tough. She almost gave up everything for the arcane book. Li Er narrowed his eyes, and the two looked at each other. The atmosphere in the room became a little solemn. Millia watched this scene from the side, and the expression on her face became a little strange. She knew Lear, and now Lear's attitude always felt like... he was trying to trick people. After a brief silence, Li Er spoke again: "Then I will change the condition. When you finish analyzing the arcane book, you must share the spells in it with me." "Why?" Mena was a little annoyed, and even her plump chest was heaving up and down. She had worked hard to hide for five years and finally analyzed the spell, and she was going to share it with a stranger? She couldn't accept it at all. "I have already made concessions, Princess Mena, and I am not negotiating with you." Lear chuckled. Now he has the princess in his hands and the initiative is in his hands.
Hearing this, Mena gritted her teeth and wanted to fight with Lear on the spot, but when she thought of the consequences, she reluctantly suppressed the impulse in her heart. "You are from the Church of War, what do you need spells for?" Mena asked gritting her teeth. "Then there's no need to trouble Your Highness." Li Er smiled slightly. "In that case, I will take it as your agreement, Your Highness. I will wait for your good news. But don't even think about escaping, Your Highness. I will send someone to keep an eye on you." Lear said again, and patted Mena's shoulder. A barely detectable red light flowed along Lear's arm and into Mena's body. After doing all this, Lear waved his hand, took Miria and turned away, leaving only the angry Mena standing there. After leading Milia out of the alley, Milia asked, "Is this the reason you came out today?" "I guess so, but the main purpose is to take you out for a walk." Li Er nodded and smiled at Millia. Millia pouted when she heard that, but didn't say anything else. The two continued to wander around the royal city until the evening and finally returned to the Pope's Hall. Back at the Pope's Hall, Duval was standing with Erwin, Maya, and three war archons, seemingly discussing something. Seeing Lear walking into the church, Duval waved to Lear and said, "Special Executive Officer Lear, you are finally back!" "Are you waiting for me? What's the matter?" Lear asked. "It's about aliens and cooperation. We have received the oracle." Dival explained. "Oh, what did the goddess say?" Lear asked with pretended curiosity. "It is indeed as those aliens said. Aliens are summoned by the gods. The goddess hopes that we will accept those aliens and let them join the church." Dival said, "Well, the three major sects have received the oracle. Not only the Arcane Council, but also the Golden Church. We will set up branches in various countries." "Since it is the oracle of the goddess, then there is no problem." Li Er nodded. "Matters concerning the cooperation can only be announced after the arrival of the people from the Golden Church. Now the church has relaxed its control over aliens." Dival added. "People from the Golden Church are coming too?" Lear raised his eyebrows. "Yes, about half a month later, when the people from the Golden Church arrive, I will hold a banquet in the Pope's Hall to notify them of the cooperation matters and announce your identity as Special Executive Lear." Duval continued. Li Er nodded. He had no opinion on the announcement of his special executive officer. Instead, he was somewhat interested in the arrival of the Golden Church. He used the identity of the Blood King to make some trouble in the War Church. He wondered if Ophelia's mother would rush to Soros Royal City after knowing the appearance of the Blood King. "I heard that a heretic broke into the Pope's Hall yesterday?" Lear suddenly asked. Hearing this, Dival's expression was a little dull, but he still nodded, "Yes, I asked the goddess, but the goddess did not respond to the matter about the heretic." Dival couldn't understand why someone was bullying the Church of War, but the Goddess of War remained indifferent. He sighed, and could only think that the goddess did not take the heretic seriously.
