Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

"What the senior said is true!" Sato Kazuma was immediately frightened when he faced Li De's probing eyes.

"Wait, you said Aqua is a goddess?" Megumin on the side immediately caught the key point of Li De's words.

"You little brat from the Red Devil clan, didn't your father Pyozaburo teach you to use the honorific title Mianxia when treating the goddess?" After Li De said, he stretched out his hand and knocked on Megumin's forehead.

After a crisp thud, Megumin immediately squatted down with her head in her arms.

"It hurts!"

"Hey, you're so far away, Megumin, how did you get hit?" Sato Kazuma still didn't believe it, so he squatted down and opened Megumin's hand covering her forehead, and then saw that there was something on Megumin's forehead. A red dot corresponded exactly to the knock Li De had just made.

"How do I know? It hurts so much!" Huihui's eyes were moist at this moment.

Ah hoo ah hoo

Darkness's face was rosy and she looked at Megumin's head with excitement.

"Um, senior, I don't know why you came to the church to be a bishop?" Sato Kazuma stood up again and changed the subject abruptly.

Of course, Sato Kazuma also had his own reasons for this stiffness.

He really wanted to know the reason why Li De did this, and only by knowing the reason could he deal with it better later.

In fact, before Megumin was knocked on the forehead by Li De, Sato Kazuma had no impression of Li De's power.

But Li De's face-to-face knock on the forehead shocked Sato Kazuma. After all, he was still a rookie who had no idea about the strong.

Even if Li De said that he was a dragon, Sato Kazuma didn't look afraid.

It's not that he is really brave, but he has never faced a dragon directly.

If Li De is willing to reveal his true identity to Kazuma Sato, he will probably get the look of awe from Kazuma Sato in the future.

"There is no reason why this cannot be said. As I mentioned before, due to our ancestors, our bloodline is inevitably mixed with the aura of demons, and it is rooted deep in the bloodline.

Although for us, this is not a big deal, but because the blood of demons has become more powerful than ordinary dragons, this also comes at a price, which is the demonic aura we carry.

It's okay when you meet ordinary people, after all, not everyone can detect the devil's aura. But when you encounter a god like Mian Xian, the situation becomes troublesome. Because not every god is as willing to listen to our explanations as kindly as your Majesty.

It is precisely because of this that we are worried that if we encounter an impatient god, our situation will not be good. After all, the gods are invincible. Therefore, after accidentally discovering that Mianxia has come to this world, we found him. here.

I want to gain His protection by growing the Axis cult and becoming a believer in Your Majesty. I believe that with Your broad mind, as long as you are willing to believe in Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to get Your Majesty when you meet other gods in the future. Help us resolve the crisis. "

After Li De finished speaking, the proud look on Aqua's face became more intense, and then she said generously: "Of course, this goddess is of course broad-minded. As long as you are willing to believe in me, you will meet other gods in the future. Just tell me my name when you get there.”

"I'm really grateful for Your Majesty's divine grace." Li De immediately praised.

After Li De finished speaking, Sato Kazuma took a step forward, came to Li De, and then said: "Senior, please take a step to speak."

"Okay! Sister, Victoria, please chat with me." Li De knew roughly what Sato Kazuma wanted to say by looking at his face.

After finishing speaking, Li De and Sato Kazuma walked to the side.

"Senior, are you serious about what you just said? Can you tell me what you really think?" Sato Kazuma asked a bit abruptly.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, Kazuma Sato had personally experienced how unreliable Aqua was.

Therefore, if Aqua fails to fulfill her promise to Li De just now, things will be very serious.

After all, he and Aqua are deeply bound. Once Li De gets angry, he will definitely be the first to suffer.

"Junior, don't worry. I still know something about this goddess of water. In fact, our situation is not that bad. This continent is ravaged by the Demon King's army, and ordinary gods will not come.

The one you are most likely to meet is Eris, the goddess of luck who manages this world, and she happens to be the descendant of the goddess of water. I heard that the goddess next to you caught her pigtails, so the goddess Eris will definitely be willing to give Goddess Aqua has a face.

In addition, you must have heard what I just said. It is essentially a transaction. After all, if you believe in this matter, as long as the goddess says it is, then it will definitely happen, and don’t you listen to your words the most? "Li De then smiled at Sato Kazuma.

"No, no, no, senior, you think too highly of me." Sato Kazuma waved his hands quickly after hearing this.

"Junior, you are too humble. The Demon King's army has been raging on the mainland for so many years, and countless brave candidates have been sent, but you are the only one who brought the goddess down to earth. This alone is enough to prove your extraordinaryness." Li De continued to laugh.

"Um. Um." Sato Kazuma felt really embarrassed to say that he brought Aqua down to earth at this moment. The reason was that he was so angry at the time that he made an irrational choice.

"Junior, no matter what happened between you and that goddess, I just want to tell you that if she did not voluntarily descend to the world, then she came to this world with you as the meaning of the divine world.

In other words, the God Realm's dissatisfaction with this world has reached a certain level, so it sends the goddess to follow those people who the great existence believes are most likely to solve the Demon King's army, to come to this world to eradicate this scourge.

Therefore, you are much more important than you think, so you have to have more confidence in yourself. Even if you are still weak now, don't worry, a bright future is waiting for you. "Li De continued to laugh.

"Senior, you really think highly of me." After listening to Li De's analysis, Sato Kazuma really thought that he might be the child of destiny.

But when he thought that he was just the weakest adventurer, his heart that was about to be ignited immediately cooled down again.

"Junior, this has nothing to do with whether you think highly of him or not. It's about the huge benefits you can gain by becoming a brave man. I believe anyone will be motivated enough when faced with these benefits." Li De shook his head and said.

"Benefits, senior, are you talking about the wish promised by the God Realm?" Sato Kazuma asked after thinking for a while.

"Junior, that wish counts, but the wish of the God Realm is more of a protection of one's own interests." Li De said with a smile. "The protection of one's own interests, senior, I wonder if you can elaborate on it?" Sato Kazuma suddenly became interested when he heard this.

"Generally speaking, as long as you kill the devil and become a brave man, you can basically get money, power, and sex. But at this point, according to ordinary mortal thinking, the thing that you feel you lack most is your life span.

After all, the more you gain, the harder it is to give it up, which is why those in power want to live forever. Therefore, the wish of the divine world is most suitable to be used here. "Li De explained unhurriedly.

"That's it!" Sato Kazuma nodded. After all, he had also heard the story of the ancient emperor's pursuit of immortality.

"But it's not reliable!" Li De said immediately.

"Eh?!" Sato Kazuma then looked at Li De in surprise.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the God Realm will not fulfill your wishes, but I am telling you that even if you live forever, it only refers to normal circumstances. If this world can be invaded by demons once, no one can be sure that it will not happen again. What about the second time?

If you stay alive, you may not encounter the second invasion. When the time comes, as a brave man, you must be the first to fight. Who said you are the hope of mankind, and fighting against demons may not lead to death in battle. risk. "Li De looked at Sato and Shinji and said pointedly.

"Ah" Sato Kazuma was numb after hearing this.

"Hahahaha, I'm not kidding you. Although this possibility does exist, the goddess Eris is not a decoration. After all, if the world she manages is invaded again, it will also lower her evaluation in the divine world, so there is no need. Worry about what will happen in who knows how many years.

Let’s talk about the present. The huge benefits I’m talking about are not the promises of the God Realm, but the huge wealth left behind after I take people away. This wealth needs a suitable successor. "Li De then brought the topic back.

"Senior is leaving?" Sato Kazuma asked in surprise.

"Junior, the dragon clan is also very proud. How can it be possible to stay here forever? In fact, what I said to the goddess focused on the first half of the first sentence, which is to strengthen the Axis Order.

Junior, you have only come to this world not long ago, and you don’t know that the religious order that believes in that goddess is actually very weak now. It is possible to even lose faith after a few years.

Because of this, strengthening the Axis Order can be regarded as a condition of the transaction. Of course, I'm afraid that the goddess didn't understand this, so I'll have to trouble you to explain it later. After all, it's a win-win situation for everyone to get what they need.

After I leave, the Axis Order that develops must have a successor, and as for this successor, unless there are any surprises, you are definitely the most suitable person. "Li De slowly explained to Sato Kazuma.

"Senior, I have two questions. First, to what extent can you expand the Axis Order? As far as I know, the Eris Order is the state religion of this country. Second, if something unexpected happens If so, who will replace me?" When vital interests were involved, Sato Kazuma immediately entered serious mode.

"To answer your first question first, precisely because the Eris Order is the state religion, if you want to ensure that the results of my growth are not swallowed up, you have to consider all aspects to ensure that everything is as foolproof as possible.

After comprehensive consideration, I think that by taking over the territory under our feet, turning the lord into a bishop, and the lord's army becoming the Guardian Knights, we can best ensure that the Axis Order will continue to exist under the pressure of the Eris Order.

In other words, after I take people away, I will leave a noble identity, a territory and a powerful guardian knights to my successor. As long as he is not stupid, it should not be difficult to maintain this good situation. .

As for your second question, let me tell you the truth. There may be accidents, because there is still a brave candidate like you in the ancient kingdom of Belze, and he is your competitor.

The man named Mitsurugi Kyouya got the magic sword Gram. He is a little older than you, probably only a few years old. My people are also currently in contact with him. After all, he is contributing to the acquisition of territory. .

And my people will say the same thing to him. After all, I will not take sides on this. You are all brave candidates. And you can probably guess the final decision criteria. "

After listening to Li De's words, Sato Kazuma asked Li De with a slightly heavy expression: "Senior, the standard is not to kill the Demon King, right?"

"That's the one who can't." Li De nodded.

"Senior, do you think I can defeat a guy with a divine weapon?" Sato Kazuma continued to ask Li De.

"I think so, because you have stronger support than him." Li De nodded seriously.

"Do I still have someone to rely on? Why didn't I know?" Sato Kazuma asked in surprise after hearing this.

"Junior, your support is the goddess. Because of the special nature of this world, people who die before their life span reaches the limit can be resurrected once with the help of the high priest who masters the sacred resurrection technique.

In other words, for the average person, there is at most one chance to make mistakes. But you are different. When you bring a goddess down to earth, it is equivalent to coming with a mission. That goddess will not let you die, no matter how many times.

It is precisely because you have made enough mistakes that I am more optimistic about you. Another thing is that I prefer you to succeed the brave candidate who is competing with you, because I feel that he may not be able to keep the wealth I left behind. "

After listening to Li De's words, Sato Kazuma did not have an expression of joy, but had a suspicious look on his face.

"Senior, you're not fooling me, are you?" Sato Kazuma asked frankly.

"Is it possible for a weakling like you to be fooled by me?" Li De also asked directly.

"Senior, these words hurt my heart." Sato Kazuma's face suddenly fell.

"Junior, I'm really optimistic about you. As for why, I'll tell you the truth. It's because your competitor has a very obvious middle-secondary character. I remember correctly that's the adjective. It's a very obvious middle-secondary characteristic.

Of course, this is nothing, but his character is very upright, and this is a big shortcoming. Because once the Demon King's army is eliminated, it will enter an era of internal struggle for power among humans, and a character like his will not go far.

This is one of the reasons why I hope you become the winner. Another reason is the blonde beauty companion beside you. With her help, you can better defend the territory you have gained. "Li De said to Sato Kazuma with a look that all men understand.

"Darkness?" Sato Kazuma asked after glancing at him.

"Yes, she is the only daughter of the noble Dustinis family. She is truly white, rich and beautiful."
