The original god, the zero-seat executive of the Fools

"Looking for him..." Kelai was a little dazed, but when she realized the meaning of Ying's words, her pupils suddenly tightened: "Is he in Xumi?"

......

"There's nothing good about Sumeru, it's just that the pocket pancakes taste okay." Knox, who was walking on the street, told Columbia beside him.

"Actually, sometimes I wonder, if you had removed [Gluttony], what would it look like now." Columbia and Knox walked very close, and when she turned her head to speak to Knox, There will always be a warm breath that seems to be absent, accompanied by a girl's unique and delicious fragrance, blowing on the side of his face.

But Knox didn't care. Although he liked the smell, the fragrant pocket cake in his hand attracted his attention more at the moment.

As for Columbia's words, he just glanced at her and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, there will be a day."

Columbia did not answer this sentence, but changed the subject: "Speaking of this trip to Xumi, do you have any plans?"

"No." Knox took a bite of the food and said casually while chewing: "I plan to go to the Order Academy to ask for it directly from the sages. If they give it to me, wouldn't it be a big profit?"

"What if they don't give it?"

"If you don't give it...then we'll think about it in the long term, or you can have more expectations for Dotoledo." Knox shrugged.

Columbia glanced at him: "I thought you would just rob it."

"Haha." Knox laughed twice as if he had heard some joke: "Hey, how much strength do you think I can still exert while maintaining my sanity? Like - holding down my left hand with my right hand. , and then go into the ring to box with others, do you think you can win like this? Let alone challenging the Academy or something like that, I probably can't even beat Dardalia now."

"It's already so serious." Columbia seemed a little surprised, and then said: "Looking at how unhurried you are, I thought you still had a lot of energy left."

"Otherwise, do I have to act like an ant on a hot pot? Of course, if that is beneficial to the operation of obtaining the God's Heart from the Grass God, I don't mind performing it, but it is obvious that it will not work."

"He said some strange words that people can't understand again." Columbia showed a sweet smile and stretched out a hand towards Knox: "Do you want to hold it? Maybe it can ease your mental state a little. It’s function.”

Knox glanced at the fair and delicate hands and sneered: "No need."

"What a pity." Although he said this, the smile on Columbia's face did not change at all as she put down her hand.

......

"Your Excellency Executive Officer, we cannot agree to your request."

The Great Sage looked at Knox, who was sitting casually on the sofa in front of him, holding a half-eaten pocket cake and still eating it, and said expressionlessly: "The Heart of God is the central hub of our void system. , even if it is only temporarily lost, it will cause immeasurable losses to Xumi."

Knox swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled on his face: "For losses or something, it can be converted into molas to compensate for it. You can tell me the number. We fools will definitely not hesitate. I think you also have the size of Beiguo Bank." Know……"

"Your Excellency, Executive Officer." The Great Sage narrowed his eyes: "That is not a loss that can be measured by money."

"Hey." Knox crossed his legs, his smile remained unchanged, but the blue rainbow in his eyes lit up: "So there's nothing to talk about?"

The great sage closed his eyes and said calmly: "Your Excellency [Dead Man], we know that you are powerful and even have the power to face the gods directly, but as far as I know, your current state does not seem to be enough to support you to use that kind of power. , it can even be said to be very bad, so——”

As he said that, he opened his eyes, and there was no warmth at all: "You don't have to be so pretentious."

Chapter 72 Rejected Peace

"Oops, ouch..." The blue rainbow in Knox's eyes gradually disappeared, and he pressed his temples as if distressed: "I was actually seen through. He is worthy of being a wise man who can serve as a great sage in a wise country..."

After that, he took another big bite of the pocket cake in his hand, stood up with a smile, and said, "It seems that Xumi's heart of God has no chance with us fools."

The great sage remained silent.

Knox smiled and walked out the door. Just as he was about to walk out of the room, he suddenly turned his head. The great sage, whose shoulders had been relaxed, straightened his back instantly and looked directly at Knox. See.

Knox frowned: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, do you have any good wine here?"

"..." The great sage was silent for a moment, and then shouted: "Come here, give Mr. [Decedent] a bottle of good wine."

As the words fell, a hurried attendant soon appeared in front of the door. The other person presented a bottle of gold-packaged wine with both hands, bowed slightly, and immediately withdrew.

Knox put the last bit of pocket cake into his mouth, uncorked the wine bottle and took a sip. He wiped the corners of his mouth and chuckled at the great sage: "Xumi's cake is good, but it's a pity. I'm a little choked, the wine is not bad, but the alcohol content is a bit low."

After saying that, his figure disappeared in the black flames.

The great sage could easily hear the profound meaning from these words. His face was so gloomy that he could almost shed water. After a moment, he snorted coldly: "Pretending..."

......

in the lounge.

Columbia was playing with the black eye of god in her hand. A wisp of black flame lingered on her white and slender fingertips, adding a coquettish aura to the already mysterious girl.

But as a large group of black flames suddenly exploded not far away in front of her at the next moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Columbia's beautiful face. At this moment, whether it was mysterious or coquettish, it was just for Her smile seemed even more touching.

Knox walked out of the black flames and looked at Columbia, but he just sighed in confusion: "It's such a pity that Sumeru rejected peace."

"Obviously I promised others not to harm Xumi as much as possible, but since they themselves refused..."

Knox, who was talking to himself, had a look of uncontrollable madness on his face: "Ha, there's nothing we can do about it."

Columbia stood up and stretched out her hand as if to touch his cheek: "No matter what you want to do, I will support you."

Knox took a step back to avoid her hand, crazily held it back, and smiled: "Men and women are not intimate, so please respect yourself, girl."

......

"Tinari, do you know where Collet is?"

Seeing Tinari frowning in front of Kelai's door from a distance, Paimon and Ying quickly ran over to ask him questions.

They had been here this morning but did not find Kelai. Originally, they thought Kelai had gone to patrol the forest again, but they had not waited until the evening before Kelai came back, so they naturally became worried.

Tinari, who was also attracted by the sound coming from behind, turned to look at the two of them, frowning and said: "Ke Lai is missing. I have been looking for it all day and haven't found anything. Speaking of which, when she came back yesterday, I I feel something is wrong. As someone who patrolled the forest with her yesterday, do you know anything?"

"Missing!" Paimon exclaimed, Ying's eyes widened as well, and then he quickly said: "When we were talking about spirits yesterday, there was something wrong with her. Could it be related to this?"

"Spirit?" A confused look appeared on Tinari's face.

"You are the one who gave Kolai the Black Eye of God, Tinari, do you know?" Paimon asked.

Hearing this, Tinari's frown deepened: "Is it him? Why would Kelai talk to you about that person?" As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but add: "Do you know that person? "

"Well, we came here just to find him, Xumi..."

Before Paimon could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tinari: "To find him? Do you mean that he has come to Sumeru? Have you told Kelai about this?"

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, and then Pamon scratched his cheek nervously: "Is there any problem...?"

Tinari was speechless for a while, and after a long while, he sighed heavily. As someone who has been with Kelai day and night over the years, he naturally knew how deep Kelai's feelings for that person were. It could not be called morbid at all. It's not an exaggeration. He still remembers that when Kelai was just abandoned by that person, he even had some suicidal tendencies. If he hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

And like this, Kelai suddenly learned the news about that person, and it was revealed that he was now in Xumi. Tinari thought with his buttocks that he also knew why Kelai was missing.

He glanced at Ying and Paimon, who looked anxious in front of him, with a complex expression, and said helplessly: "Ke Lai should... no, she must have gone to find that person, the one you call Ling."

'What? ! Paimon shouted: "Why? We are not in such a hurry..."

"Did anything happen between Kelai and Ling?"

Tinari was silent for a long time and sighed quietly:

"Ke Lai... has been suffering from a disease called Demon Scale since he was a child. You don't need to know much about it. You just need to know that it is a very serious and incurable disease."

"Incurable disease..." Ying was slightly startled.

"Then Kelai now..." Pamon covered his mouth with his hands.

"Listen to me." Tinari waved his hand, indicating that the two of them should stop talking.

"Someone once told Kelai's mother that there was a way to eradicate the magic scale disease, so she handed her daughter over to an organization called the Fools."

Ying and Paimon looked at each other again, and they immediately guessed something, and they suddenly understood each other tacitly.

"At the beginning, Kelai was sent to an executive named [Doctor] and suffered a lot of inhuman torture, and was even close to death for a time."

"It wasn't until a long time later that another executive appeared in front of her and took her away from [Doctor]."

"As for who the executive officer is, I believe you have all guessed it. It is the Ling you know. I don't know what happened between him and Kelai. Kelai has never mentioned anything to me. I remember this, but I don’t need to think about it to know that this must be the happiest and happiest time for Kelai. That person also cured and eradicated Kelai’s magic scale disease. I don’t know how he did it, but I have to say, he is a very powerful person.”

"Originally, this was supposed to be a beautiful story, but unfortunately, until a few years ago, that person suddenly abandoned Kelai."

"..."

Chapter 73 Reason and Power

"So, what to do now?"

After leaving the Order House, Columbia and Knox returned to the streets of Sumeru City.

Faced with Columbia's purely curious inquiry, Knox did not respond immediately.

Instead, after turning into an alley, he sat down directly against the corner. He took out the Void Terminal from his pocket and looked up at the blue sky with a tired face.

"so tired……"

Columbia tilted her head and squatted down in front of him: "Is the condition deteriorating again?"

"You can't say that..." Knox seemed exhausted and sighed with his eyelids drooping: "The 'right hand' holds down the 'left hand'. Essentially, even if the 'left hand' doesn't listen to me, it consumes It's still my energy, and human energy is limited. Just like a person can't finish a marathon at a sprint speed of [-] meters. Both 'hands' are being consumed. Logically speaking, this delicate balance should be able to continue. I can barely maintain it, but the embarrassing thing is that human reason is sometimes a limitation, so... you know."

"Although I don't know what the strange words in your mouth mean, I can roughly understand what you said. In short, the power in your body is divided into two parts. The previous balance is almost broken with your current energy consumption. ?”

"Almost...well, it's a little more serious than what you described."

"So you now..."

Knox activated the Void Terminal and said lazily: "Just like when people are slaughtering pigs and sheep, when one person is not strong enough to hold down the struggling animals, they usually call someone to help... Um, okay, look. I have indeed reached my limit, and my thinking is a bit confused. This description is not accurate... It should be regarded as a wheel battle or a relay race..."

Before the words became softer and softer, a green rune representing the operation of the Void Terminal quietly appeared next to Knox's left ear.

So - someone whose consciousness has been connected to the void, and who is also the [original void terminal]...or a certain god, so naturally followed the void terminal worn by Knox and entered his mind. .

"I need a little rest, my body...don't abuse it..."

Knox's voice sounded like he was talking in sleep. As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were closed and his body became limp.

The thought belonging to Knox fell into a deep sleep at the level of consciousness, and a new thought easily "occupied" his body. Similarly, the erosion and influence from [Rage] were also fully transferred to this new thought.

From the beginning, the expression on Columbia's face had returned to absolute calm, especially when she saw "Knox" reopening his eyes, with a circle of turquoise lines reflected in his amethyst-like eyes, she There was no trace of emotion on her beautiful face. She stood up silently and left without hesitation.

"Knox" stood up with his hands on the ground, looking at Columbia's back gradually disappearing into the alley, he couldn't help but tilted his head, with a puzzled look on his face.

......

"I found the note left by Cole in a nearby tree hole."

After searching separately again to no avail, Tinari regrouped and said to Ying and Paimon: "According to the information left on the note, she did go to find that person."

Paimon quickly asked: "Did you say where she went? Is there a specific address or something?"

Tinari shook his head: "No, but I think we have all entered a misunderstanding."
