Chapter 15: The Executors
"Hehe, I'm still wondering who this is. Isn't it our famous Sword Emperor? "When LΓ©vi returned to the Society's temporary base camp in the middle of Lake Valyria, hidden by a thick fog, as soon as he entered the door, he felt the murderous aura that permeated someone's side. When I looked up, I was still dressed in the same familiar way, with sunglasses and messy orange hair, and a straight suit.
"Hmph, Valut, you're so interested, you might be disappointed later." LΓ©vi smiled wryly, not taking Valut's slightly provocative expression seriously.
"Hehe, I'm not one who can stand it." Valut took out a lighter and a cigarette, and spat out the smoke ring, "How about it, are you going to fight?" β
"Not now, I don't have that leisure." Levi said lightly, "Are the others already here?" β
"Ling is here early in the morning~" The immature girl's voice sounded, with short dark purple hair and a girl dressed in a gothic-style Lolita costume holding the doll in one hand, lifting the skirt with the other, and bowing elegantly: "'Annihilation Angel' Ling is here to report." β
"Has Patil Martil's adjustment been completed?" Levi kindly touched Ling's head, and the latter showed a cat-like comfortable expression: "Well, I got some help from him." β
"Don't let the doctor listen." Levi persuaded.
"Ling knows." The girl said cheerfully, "Where did Levi go just now?" β
"Go and do some personal business." As soon as the words fell, the bell sounded, crisp and pleasant, and Levi, who heard this voice, had a more soothing expression, "Luciola, you're here." β
"Gui'an, Ling, Levy." A brightly dressed woman smiles charmingly.
"It's so hilarious, guys." Cloaked in a pure white cloak, holding a wonderful cane, wearing an ornate mask on his face, and a charming smile on his lips, the last mysterious executor arrived, "Since everyone is gathered here, there is no need for me to continue to hide. β
"Blubland." LΓ©vy nodded simply, counting as a greeting.
"It's almost the right time, isn't it?" There were more and more people, and Valut gradually lost his nature, and he stepped on the cigarette impatiently, "What's next?" β
"I'll explain it next." An abrupt voice suddenly appeared, his hair was neatly combed, and a meticulous man slowly walked out of the room, "It seems that there are quite a few executors who responded to the call this time." "Skinny Wolf", "Strange Thief Gentleman", "Bell of Illusion", "Angel of Annihilation", ......"
"White-faced" Wiseman." Luciola coldly called out the man's name, "Please explain the purpose of coming to us this time." β
"Don't worry, everyone." Wiseman pushed his eyes and smiled grimly, "Before that, allow me to tell you a little bit about the whole thing......"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"I see." Luciola stroked the corner of the bamboo fan, "That means the first layer of the Ring of Radiance has been unlocked. That's right. β
"And it was you, Your Excellency, who manipulated the coup d'Γ©tat for this purpose...... Is there still this "Sword Emperor"? Bloblan's tone was exaggerated, "Not being able to witness the withering and beauty in this process is also one of my mistakes......"
"Stop being quips, Blubran." Valut looked impatient, "So what? Now that you've done the coup d'Γ©tat in Narauszi, what else can we do this time? β
"Hehe, that's what I said. So let's get down to business. Wiseman said, opening a well-sealed box containing five small hemispherical objects.
"This is...... Some kind of black "power guide"? The youngest, Rei, could tell at a glance what it wasβeven though she was only twelve years old, Rei was already a genius with three PhDsβof course, all papers submitted under a pseudonym.
"Gospel...... That's the name of this black power guide. It is an imitation of some kind of ancient relic capable of producing the power to interfere and distort the guiding force and various things. The purpose of this experiment is to test the functioning of this gospel and to collect as much data as possible...... Of course, there is no professional operation in this, and I have prepared a suitable and detailed plan for you, so you can just follow it. When it comes to the plan he has planned, Wiseman gushes endlessly.
"That's it?" Valut smiled disdainfully, mockingly, "With all due respect, I'm not interested in such frivolous things...... I thought I could have a few opponents worth fighting for, so I came over. β
"It doesn't hurt to refuse, after all, our great alliance leader said a long time ago that the executors have absolute freedom, and even the apostles cannot command them." Wiseman spread his hands, "But, Lord Valut, your wishes are not unfulfilled by this experiment. β
"What do you mean?" Valut asked sharply.
"For example, using this gospel can artificially cause large-scale disasters......," Wiseman's tone was full of demagogy, "In that case, the guerrillas and the elites of the Kingdom Army who had solved the coup d'Γ©tat before that would probably not sit idly by." β
"Oh?" Valut's eyes lit up, "Levi, does Liber have any prey worth hunting besides that Juggernaut?" β
"Not only. Or a beast that even you can't handle. It was LΓ©vy who asked, but Wiseman answered Valut's question before LΓ©vi, "There is a young man of the Empire who can single-handedly defeat the ancient relic Patronus called Fantasia." β
"Is that so? Levy? β
ββ¦β¦ That's right in terms of results. LΓ©vy pouted, Wiseman, this guy is still the same, only telling half the truth, deliberately inducing others to think in the direction he wants.
"Yes." Sure enough, Valut smiled bloodthirstily, "Alright, I'll join." β
"Anything goes......" Luciola mused, her beautiful eyes revealing a light of thought.
"If it had it, a lot of pranks would have come true." Ling clapped her hands and laughed, "Ling came up with a great idea. β
"I'm participating, too." Gently ruffling a strand of hair, Blublan said with a smile, "It seems that I can make some beautiful performances." β
"That's all participating." Wiseman smiled satisfied, "Then everyone, please go back to your room and take a break." After that, I will tell you the detailed plan of the experiment. Sword Emperor, you come with me, there is one thing that only you can do. β
"I see." Levy's face was as calm as water.
"Well, everyone! Sing the sad gospel to the fools who are immersed in hypocrisy and peace! Wiseman announced in a loud voice, like a poisonous snake spitting letters.
