Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 114 Preparing to go to the next mission world.

"If your father agrees, when do you plan to announce me as your fiancé?" Li De asked immediately.

"If my father agrees, the announcement will definitely be after the blood moon incident. After all, only after your sister shows her value of being won over can the voices of opposition be suppressed." Alexia answered slowly.

"What about the voices of opposition?" Li De couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

"You know who the nobles are, so it is impossible that there will be no voices of opposition, even..." Alexia is very open-minded.

"There will be someone to assassinate me!" Li De still smiled.

"This is a matter of course. After all, the second son of the border baron, even if his sister becomes the personal guard of Sister Alice, it is impossible for those people to take it seriously." Alexia also said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in this smile.

"It seems that we have to mourn in advance for those who are looking for me." Li De didn't care at all. After all, whoever comes will die... no, whoever comes will disappear.

And it's not just one person, but the whole family must be together.

"Indeed, I just don't know who will jump out at that time." Alexia also said with a smile, and at this moment Alexia's smile was full of expectations.

After all, Alexia saw the corruption within the Kingdom of Midgar, and it would be a good result to let the men around her scare some increasingly rampant idiots.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Now we have to talk about the next thing." Li De said to Alexia.

"Is there anything important?" Alexia raised her body slightly and looked at Li De and asked.

"I will also participate in the territory development this time, so remember to ask for leave for me." Li De said lightly.

"Are you going too?" Alexia asked a little surprised.

"The family's territory is being developed, and my sister is leading the team. As the second son, how can I not go?" Li De asked Alexia.

"That's right, you should go! I misunderstood and thought there was a powerful existence outside the Misty Mountains that needed your personal help." Alexia couldn't help but say.

"How is that possible? With my sister's strength, even if it's close to the core and there are monsters, I don't need to do it." Li De said confidently.

"I know you siblings are powerful. By the way, since you have joined, you should be able to come back faster, right?" Alexia couldn't help asking.

"That's hard to say. If it's just about developing the territory, it definitely won't take much time. But after conquering the territory, let alone other things, at least you have to prepare a camp with a certain degree of defense for the civilians who move in in advance, otherwise there's no way to develop it, and this is where it really takes time." Li De spread his hands and said.

"Do you need help?" Alexia continued to ask.

"Forget it, I know too well what kind of people are in the Knights of the Border. Relying on them will only delay the speed. Don't worry, I won't delay the Blood Moon incident." Li De shook his head and said.

"Okay, I will help you deal with it inside the academy." Alexia nodded and said.

"Well, then I'll trouble you, this is a reward." Li De said and bowed his head and kissed again.

"This is a punishment!" Alexia replied and indulged in it again.

In the evening, Alice went to the study of King Midgar with Alexia.

It was not until two hours later that the two women came out with serious faces.

The next day, Alexia found Li De again.

"Is it not going well?" Seeing Alexia's serious face, Li De couldn't help asking.

"No, it's going well!" Alexia shook her head and said.

"But there is no happy expression on your face!" Li De asked with a little curiosity.

"Because I know something, Sid, you know, my father has always known about the existence of the Diabolos Cult. After mentioning Geno last night, my father told me and my sister about the darkness behind this world." Alexia then told her and her sister about the conversation with her father last night.

King Midgar told his two daughters that the kingdom can exist only because the Diabolos Cult, which controls the world behind the scenes, dare not come to the front openly, so it maintains a tacit understanding with various countries.

After all, once the Diabolos Cult comes to the fore, it will definitely not be able to keep the secret of immortality.

At that time, there will be many people who want to replace it because of this, so the top leaders of the Diabolos Cult can only hide behind the public and control the world secretly.

And this is known to every king of the kingdom.

Another thing is that there have always been organizations that resist or want to defeat the Diabolos Cult, and it has never stopped for thousands of years.

But until the emergence of the Shadow Courtyard, these organizations composed of opponents will soon disappear in history.

As for the reason, it is very simple, they can't beat it!

Yes, it is simply that they cannot defeat each other. After all, there are many super strong people in the Diabolos Cult who have lived for thousands of years.

Who said that the war in the shadow world is actually a war between magic swordsmen?

The strong can easily crush the weak regardless of their equipment. With a super strong person in charge, the Diabolos Cult can always stay behind the scenes and control the world.

It is precisely because the major kingdoms know this that they have always been angry but dare not speak out against the Diabolos Cult.

And this situation has continued until the last few years, when an organization called Shadow Court appeared and it changed.

In fact, Li De didn't know that Shadow Court is currently attracting the attention of various kingdoms.

As for the reason, there is only one, it can fight!

The current Shadow Court has become famous in the inner world by constantly destroying the Diabolos Cult's strongholds, so that the major kingdoms in the surface world have noticed its existence.

For thousands of years, the kingdoms on the same territory have changed countless times, but no organization against the Diabolos Cult has ever had such a brilliant record.

How could this not attract the close attention of the major kingdoms?

After all, if there is no accident, the world ruler of the next era will basically depend on who can laugh last between the Cult and the Shadow Court.

According to the King of Midgar, the unstoppable trend has arrived.

Because of the Shadow Courtyard, the cult can no longer hide behind the scenes safely, so the cult actively takes action in various countries to force them to take sides. This is also the fundamental reason why Geno dares to attack Alexia.

If the Shadow Courtyard had not appeared, no matter how much Alexia provoked Geno Gulifi, he would not be able to do this.

After all, the cult and the major kingdoms have a special tacit understanding. If the cult does not want to come to the fore, it must remain restrained within a certain range.

Therefore, other people do not say, but the royal families of various countries who know the existence of the cult cannot attack them.

And this also indirectly shows to what extent the current cult has been forced by the Shadow Courtyard.

"What is your sister's attitude after knowing this?" Li De asked curiously.

Because in the original book, Alice chose to cooperate with the cult in the later period, and the main reason was that Alice was severely humiliated and taught a lesson by Sid.

So in the novel, when Alexia found her father and got the truth, the King of Midgar hoped that Alexia could contact the Shadow Courtyard and join the Shadow Courtyard team.

In this way, it doesn't matter if the two sisters may be hostile in the future, because no matter who wins in the end, at least the bloodline of the Midgar family will not be cut off.

But now Alice has not been taught a lesson by Reed, and is still in a stage of bursting self-confidence.     In the original book, Alice at this stage regarded the Order and the Shadow Courtyard as enemies of the kingdom.

"Sister hopes that father can cooperate with her to purge the Knights, completely control the army in the hands of the royal family, and then purge the internal affairs and concentrate on dealing with the upcoming trend. Sister intends to survive strongly in the trend with the strength of the kingdom itself. After all, only in this way can the kingdom have true independence."

Reed was not surprised at all by Alexia's answer. After all, before being severely humiliated, Alice was confident that she would not lose to anyone.

"What about you?" Reed continued to ask.

"I stand by your side!" Alexia answered very straightforwardly.

After all, with Li De as a comparison, Alexia was not optimistic about her sister.

"If I plan to participate in this trend in the future, will you support me?" Li De continued to ask.

"I am your woman, and the only thing I can do is to support you." Alexia stated her attitude very straightforwardly.

"Your words are enough. Don't worry too much. With my strength, no matter which side is vying for it, I can stand on the side at the end. At that time, I can guarantee that your clan's status will not change as the winner." Li De did not reveal his identity to Alexia, but changed his words.

"Well, I feel relieved with your words." Alexia replied immediately.

As for whether she was really relieved, only she knew.

Three days later, Alice introduced Claire to her circle at the tea party and officially became her personal guard, which was considered to have completed the process of the debut meeting.

On the fourth day, Reed and Claire returned to the Barony of Kageno.

A 200-man escort team also gathered in Reed's castle.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, Claire led the team and Reed to leave the Barony of Kageno and entered the Misty Mountains, officially starting the pioneering war.

Somewhere in the Misty Mountains, the 200-man team was stationed in a wild and dilapidated village.

Of course, there was no orc in the village at this moment.

Because an hour ago, these people were all controlled by the escort team that raided the door, and then they were given time to pack their luggage, and finally they were teleported to the headquarters.

"Alpha, the follow-up will be left to you." Reed was explaining to Alpha at this moment.

"Shadow, do we really not need to join this mission?" Alpha couldn't help asking, after all, Reed brought everyone except her, Gamma, Ita and Elizabeth.

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Reed nodded and said.

"Since you said so, I wish you all the best." Alpha said.

Reed nodded and opened the panel.

[Please choose one of the following three tasks to go to:]

① Please go to the world of "Naruto" and say "Do you want to dance too?" in front of Six Paths Madara. (Note: You must pretend once in front of the King of Force, let him know that he is nothing, and by the way, give me a gorgeous battle) Difficulty level [Difficult]

② Please go to the world of "Fairy Tail" and kill Acnologia. (Note: A person who became a dragon because of dragon-slaying magic is actually called the Dragon King. This is absolutely a shame for the dragon clan. Go and kill him.) Difficulty level [Nightmare]

③ Please go to the world of "One Piece" and kill Blackbeard Teach who has obtained the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. (Note: For this loser, you must crush his hope when he is most proud, and then let him die with a look of despair.) Difficulty level [Hell]

When the task in the Lord of the Rings world is completed, the panel will refresh these three tasks.

Needless to say, the first task is not impossible to do, but the cost-effectiveness is too low.

The strength of the King of Dance during the Six Paths Madara period was a little scary. Anyway, Li De didn't want to provoke him at the moment. Even if he just ran in front of him to show off, Li De felt that it was a bit too dangerous, especially for 50 points.

As for the second mission, it is pending. You must know that Acnologia is the top BOSS in the Fairy Tail world. It is also risky to fight him. Li De feels that he may not be able to beat him.

The third mission is also pending. After all, Blackbeard, who has obtained the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, is not a good person. In addition, Li De has to consider whether the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit will have a restraining effect on himself. Once sucked, he may not be able to get out without losing a layer of skin.

When he was in Irebor, Li De was entangled for a long time about which mission to perform.

Of course, what really made Li De difficult to choose was not the mission itself, but the benefits of going to the mission world.

There are devil fruits in the One Piece world, and there are all kinds of magical magic in the Fairy Tail world.

Compared with the latter, which requires points, the former can be learned without points.

By comparison, Li De actually prefers to go to the world of Fairy Tail. After all, learning magic does not cost points, and you can also gain 100 points.

But Li De is worried that if he misses the mission in the Pirate World this time, he will not be able to meet it next time.

In that case, Li De will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

As for why he regrets it, it is because the Pirate World has Li De's future path.

Yes, during the time when Iluber was idle, Li De was thinking about how to become stronger. This strengthening is not based on upgrading, but on giving full play to his own advantages, and completing a qualitative leap without changing the level.

After thinking for several days, Li De integrated what he had learned, and finally saw clearly how his future path should go.

It was because he saw it clearly that he regretted not doing something in the Pirate World last time.

So after considering it for enough time, he decided to use the time of the pioneering war to complete the mission to the Pirate World.

It was precisely because he decided to go to the One Piece World that he did not plan to bring Alpha and Gamma.

The main reason is that they have merged the power of devil fruits, and Li De is not sure whether there will be any abnormalities if the timeline is advanced and they meet the corresponding ability users, such as Ace.

In addition, the shadow world does need to leave enough people to take charge, so Li De left them both.

As for why he did not bring Ita, it was because Li De did not want her magic power to be alienated.

Unlike the original work, Ita's research direction is biased towards modern science. After getting the various magic props brought back by Li De from the world of Eight Men, Ita's current research direction has shifted to magic props.

After all, having ready-made magic as energy is better than using electricity.

In addition, the magic book that Li De brought from the world of Earthly Confusion was also given to her.

After reading it, Ita got a magic called analysis.

As the name suggests, the function of this magic is to analyze everything.

If it were an ordinary person, the effect of this magic might not be very great, but in the hands of a scientific researcher like Ita, it is a killer-level existence.

It was precisely because of Etta's own specialness that Reed did not want to take her to the One Piece world.

After Alpha made arrangements, Reed took Delta, Beta, Epsilon, Zeta, Victoria and Claire to the One Piece world.
