555 was just a little courtesy
(Thank you very much for the 10,000 tip from 'Sister Mai Trin'!) As well as the tips of 'Windless Sky' and 'tat626'! οΌ
In the old city street, where people come and go, the noise is like the noise of the vegetable market.
I don't know if it's because someone used some kind of shielding enchantment or magic around Vesuvius, but if you look at Vesuvius from here, Vesuvius is still sitting there as before, and there is nothing unusual.
Therefore, no one noticed that not long ago, Mount Vesuvius was almost like an eruption.
If anyone had found out, it wouldn't have been as peaceful as it is now, would it?
In the corner of the old street where there is such a noisy and crowded old street, in Diana's used bookstore, a young man with black hair and black eyes, fair skin, slender body, straight back, and a magnificent black coat is like an ordinary tourist, standing in front of a bookshelf in the used bookstore, holding a book, and reading carefully.
No one knew at all that this young man was actually a god-killing king who could influence the pattern of the entire world.
No one knew that another king, who was in the same category as him, was now standing at the door of the used bookstore, mingling in the crowd, looking at the uninvited guest, and without speaking, he just raised his foot and walked into the bookstore.
As if he hadn't noticed Noah's arrival at all, Alec still stood there reading a book and spat out such words as if talking to himself.
"It's not a big collection, but it's quite well stocked, and some of them even contain some interesting things. It surprised me. β
"It's a pity that the owner is not here now. If you want to buy it, just wait obediently. Noah responded as if talking to himself.
Of course, you can also use "borrow" for your words. It's not the first time anyway. β
"There aren't many things in the world that require me to use 'borrowing', at least not things that can be bought with money." Alec didn't mind Noah's secret taunt and lifted his head from the book in his hand.
"You're finally here, much slower than I thought."
"There's no way around it." Noah leaned against the counter of the bookstore as if nothing had happened.
"Even if it wasn't my intention, for the sake of the people of Napoli, I'll have to clean up some people's mess."
"You're surprisingly responsible." Alec said noncommittally, placing the book back on the shelf, before turning around and looking at the clasped arms. Noah leaning against the counter.
"But, thanks to you, my plan has failed completely."
Hearing this, Noah's heart moved.
Needless to say, I also know that Alec will come to Napoli and go to great lengths to steal the "Hera Pillar", which is for Gnavia.
In fact, Alec did use the "Hera Pillar" as bait and set a trap on Mount Vesuvius. Presumably, it was to bury Gnevia.
But now it seems that Alec's plan has failed.
Because of Noah's meddling.
"As far as I know, your relationship with that Divine Ancestor doesn't seem to be very friendly, and I don't believe you don't know my purpose. So, why don't you just sit back and wait until it's all over? Alec said in an almost grim voice.
"If it were me. I would not hesitate to do it, it would be the easiest way to do it. It is also the most efficient, and you don't have to waste extra effort to solve the opponent. Wouldn't that be great? β
"Oh?" Noah said with a smirk.
"Is this what a thief who stole our stuff should say?"
"At least, I think it's a good deal to spend that little useful artifact to solve a difficult opponent." Alec said as a matter of course.
"Of course, it's useless to talk so much, now that the plan has failed, it will be difficult to find a chance to solve Gnavia at once next time."
Saying this, Alec's tone didn't carry much chagrin either.
Obviously, a well-thought-out plan was destroyed like this, and the director ran away like this, but Alec did not look angry or even angry at all, but like a robot, he left the past of failure behind and began to calculate the future.
Should I say that this man is simply a little too much? Or is the personality really distorted to the point that even Cheng DΓΉ has no humanity anymore?
Or, a little bit of both, right?
This made Noah laugh.
"Are you so sure your plan can bury Gnevia? Don't forget that there is a Lancelot next to that Ancestor? β
"If it weren't for your intervention, there was a more than 90% chance of burying Gnavia and Lancelot!" Alec swore by this.
"Even if I can't help them with a series of arrangements, they have always been introduced to the interior of that volcano by me, and at the worst of all, I can detonate the whole volcano at the end and make that volcano erupt!"
"Lancelot is the hero of Steel!" Alec, who had no idea what he was making a dangerous statement, said.
"Fire can forge strong steel, and it can melt strong steel, and if that volcano erupts, even Lancelot will have to be buried, right?"
"I see." Noah sneered as if he had seen through Alec's thoughts.
"Because the last resort is to directly detonate the entire volcano and make the volcano erupt, so of course you have prepared a retreat for yourself, and it is this retreat that allows you to survive the lightning strike I sent at the inside of that volcano at the end and escape, right?"
ββ¦β¦ You're really smart enough to even guess that. Alek paused, then nodded dryly.
"That's right, that's how I escaped, and Lancelot has the 'power' to manipulate lightning, I guess you can't help him at that moment, right?"
"It wasn't an attack to kill you." Noah said lightly.
"It's just a little bit of a courtesy."
Alec was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was already full of mockery.
"You are indeed a 'god killer', no matter how wise you are, you still can't cover up your arbitrary actions."
Noah laughed, unusually sarcastic.
"How about this sentence, please let me return it to His Royal Highness the Black Prince, who did not hesitate to detonate the volcano in order to bury his opponent, regardless of what would happen to Naples?"
Alec was speechless, his face full of displeasure.
Although they had only met twice and were still very unpleasant, Noah had already seen that Alec had a characteristic of this man.
He had always considered himself different from the rest of the 'Godslayers', and he was very reluctant to be compared to the rest of the Godslayers.
However, Alec is still a "god killer" after all.
Otherwise, detonating a volcano or something, this kind of practice is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to think of, and they can't do it.
Noah didn't believe that Alec was unaware of what he was doing.
So, Alec is just running away, holding on, and being a dead duck.
From this point of view, this man is not crisp at all.
"Forget it, that's fine." Noah glanced at Alec.
"Tell me about your intentions, I don't believe that you came to me specifically to complain to me, rather than believe that you are here to complain, I prefer to believe that you are here to seek revenge."
"Although it failed because of your meddling in my plan, it was also my mistake to not calculate this possibility, and there is nothing to be desired." Alec raised his eyes and looked directly at Noah.
"I'm just here to ask you, how is Perseus?"
Gnevia's goal is the hero of the "steel" that appears this time, Perseus.
Alec's target is Gnevia, who is also interested in the guy known as the Last King.
Therefore, for Alec, the current situation of Perseus is indeed his primary concern.
Thinking of this, Noah rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said bluntly.
"Let's exchange information! You ask me a question! Then I'll ask you a question too! β
"Yes!" Alec readily agreed.
"Let's exchange information!"
If people like Woban, Luo Hao, and Doni want to obtain any information, they will definitely obtain it by the most direct means, and they will definitely not think of any exchange.
In this regard, Alec must admit that Noah is indeed different from other 'god killers', and does not think about anything in battle.
If you can achieve your goal more easily, then you don't need to fight.
This is Alec's credo.
Therefore, Noah's approach unexpectedly made Alec quite satisfied.
This man is indeed a strategist. (To be continued......)
