Dedicate Lolita to the infinite beauty

"I don't know if you know the secret of the divine species." Elsebell looked at the three people in front of her and said softly: "Strictly speaking, the divine species can be divided into two camps. The first camp is [the divine species] 】This camp, the second camp is the [Creation] camp.”

"For example, the three of them are both gods and vampires?"

"I am not a vampire." Elsebell shook her head and said, "Vampires are only created by us, but I am not a vampire. I can only say that vampires are infinitely weakened versions of us."

"I understand." Rick nodded and recorded this information in his mind.

"The three of us created vampires a long, long time ago. At that time, vampires were not afraid of sunlight, running water, or silverware." Elsebell crossed her legs and said with disdain, "But I didn't expect that when the three of us woke up from our slumber, we would find that the vampires of this era have weakened to this extent."

"Then what does this have to do with you finding us?" Rick looked at Elsebell and said, "In terms of strength, we are not even as good as vampires, right?"

"No, no, no, in my eyes, your value is much greater than that of vampires." Elsebell shook her finger and said: "Compared to you... To be precise, compared to you, Vampires are like stupid beasts."

To be honest, in Elsebel's opinion, vampires and sea-dwelling species can be said to be the stupidest idiots - although most of the orcs are a bit stupid, at least they have a witch! But these two races are really hopeless.

"Ha..." Rick covered his head and said, "I really want to become that stupid beast! How powerless we are in this world..."

"I like a saying very much -" Elsebell looked at Rick and said with a grin: "From ancient times to the present, the strong have sharpened their claws, and the weak have sharpened their wisdom. This is an eternal law."

"..."

"I am the strong one and you are the weak one."

"..."

"So, we provide the strength, and you provide the wisdom."

"..."

"If both parties cooperate..." Elsebell stretched out a hand and said confidently: "This continent is within our control."

"Are you... not joking?" Rick covered his head and said, "Even the gods have strengths and weaknesses, right? The strongest god should be the God of War Artho."

"That's not certain." Elsebell chuckled and said, "Besides, regardless of whether I am stronger or weaker than Artex, at least compared to your own strength, my strength is infinitely stronger. Double it?"

"Of course."

"So, if you have a card like mine in your hand, your resourcefulness should be more useful, right?" Elsebell stood up, looked at the human boy sitting on the chair in front of her, and said, "Or what about you? Do you want to return to the previous situation? With your clansmen without any fighting ability, moving around on the ground like insects, fearing that the aftermath of the struggle of the powerful will destroy you completely?"

End of this chapter

are you willing?

If he had a choice, Rick would never want to go back to the previous state! After all, if you can take the initiative and plan for more benefits while keeping your own safety, who wants to be passive and let go... No, you can't even defend, you can only be beaten passively, and even life and death are in your hands. What about the poor bastards in other people's hands?

At least Rick didn't want to.

"That is to say..." Rick looked at Elsebell and said, "You mean, we join forces, I am responsible for making suggestions, and you are responsible for...the combat part?"

"That's it." Elsebell leaned back in her chair and said, "I'm a person who doesn't like to use my brain, so it would be great if there was a smart enough strategist to help me think of a plan. "

"..." Rick lowered his head and began to bite the thumb of his right hand with his teeth, showing a thoughtful look - Elsebell's proposal is simply a call for profit. She is responsible for providing military support. Protection, while he provides intellectual support!

It seems to be a very wonderful collaboration, and it is also an unprecedented proposal - after all, in this era, intelligence is not needed at all! Powerful enough to push through everything without thinking!

It was as if Nihong heard that the Celestial Dynasty was going to attack them, so he quickly arranged his troops and sent military advisors to conduct drills, laid a large number of traps, and even arranged a large number of spies to go to the coast.

Then the Celestial Dynasty sent Huang Xudong and said, "It's impossible for this Neon to cause an earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption, okay? It's impossible for the Neon people to get into trouble, okay?" Then Neon disappeared.

What can this neon man do? They wanted to resist and use tactics to defeat you, but Heavenly Dynasty directly enlarged its tactics. In the face of absolute power, all resistance is in vain.

'But, there is a big problem...' Rick clenched his fists - that is security.

What is the basis for the cooperation between the two parties? It’s a similar force value! If one party has no force value at all and relies entirely on the other party to protect itself, as long as the other party has malicious intentions, then it will be completely GG.

So, is his "cooperation" with Elsebell guaranteed? No! Rick had no idea what method he would use to prevent Elsebell from betraying her.

'Wait, what if...' Rick suddenly thought of the information about the goblins he had just seen - if he used the bomb called Marrow Explosion as his trump card, and then lured Elsebell over and detonated it... …

Just when Rick was thinking, Elsebell, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly said with a dark look on her face: "Oh, that's a bad idea. If you really want to do that, I will definitely use the Weibo next door." Mrs. Sly’s big leather shoes will slap your ass hard.”

"??"

Rick looked up, doubts filling his mind.

"Oh, okay, I know you shouldn't play with the translation accent." Elsebell shrugged her shoulders and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to tell you that I can read minds."

? ? ?

At this moment, Rick really wanted to curse—really, don’t be nervous! One second you tell me you can read minds, and the next second you tell me to take it easy...wait? Mind reading? Read minds! ?

"Yes, mind reading!" Elsebell looked at Rick with a smile and said, "It's true mind reading~ Well, if it's a race that can use magic, it's a little troublesome, but for humans who don't know magic at all , it’s not a problem.”

Elsebell's mind-reading ability, to put it bluntly, is the ability to combine the Haki of Seeing and Hearing with the Thunder Fruit, that is, reading the bioelectricity generated when the other person is thinking to interpret the other person's thoughts.

Of course, this method has limitations. If the strength is much greater than that of Elsebell, or if it is almost the same, but it is vigilant and deliberately defensive, Elsebel will not be able to sense it - but obviously, Rick is not here. among the ranks.

After realizing that he had been read, a trace of cold sweat broke out on Rick's forehead - but this was just a disguise, because he needed to test whether Elsebell had really mastered reading. The power of the heart.

This is important.

"Oh, no need to test, I can really read minds."

"Okay, I know you ate a pie this morning."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean to trick you."

"Hey, think of something that won't get 404ed."

"I'm not interested in the scene in your memory of Ewan bathing."

"?" Ivan hugged his body subconsciously, and then hit Rick's head with a five-shot lightning whip from his left hand - what the hell are you thinking!

"hiss……"

Rick clutched the back of his head where he was hit hard and cried out in pain.

He was trying to use this method to divert his attention - because he was already sure that the person opposite had really mastered the ability to read minds!

"Yes, I have indeed mastered the ability to read minds." Elsebell held her chin and said, "So, I understand your concerns very well, and I also admit that your concerns are indeed something you need to consider. "

"Then..." Rick looked at Elsebell - then how do you ensure that our cooperation goes smoothly?

"It's very simple." Elsebell raised her finger with a smile on her face and said, "Magic Contract."

"what is that?"

"To put it simply, I sign a contract with you." Elsebell looked at Rick with a calm face and said, "You provide us with command assistance, and I will provide you with military assistance."

"Can I add some regulations?" Rick looked at Elsebell - if it were just the content of the contract just now, it was too rudimentary, and... the room for maneuver was too large.

"Of course." Elsebell made a move with her right hand, and a piece of parchment appeared in the air, and then slowly landed in front of Rick.

Oh, and a quill.

"Come on." Elsebell stretched out her hand towards the paper and said, "Write down all the restrictions in your mind."

"Okay." Rick nodded.

…………

…………

"So, happy cooperation?" Elsebell looked at the parchment in her hand and smiled at Rick.

"Happy cooperation." Rick nodded.

"Bang——"

The next moment, the parchment turned into a ball of flame and exploded. A large number of sparks flew away from the flame, and the foreheads of Elsebell, Remilia, Flandre... everyone present were None of them were caught in a ray of flame, while more flew towards the sky.

"Those contracts will be buried in the foreheads of your partners." Elsebell looked at Rick and said: "But it is limited to those partners in the shelter where you are. Humans in other areas will not be able to obtain it unless they join you." to our refuge.”

"I understand." Rick nodded. He bent down towards Elsebell and whispered, "Please give me more advice in the future."

"Leave it on me." A smile appeared on Elsebel's lips - at least the first step of this operation, which was to initially gain Rick's trust, had been completed.

The treaty between her and Rick is very simple, that is, anyone with the consent of both Elsebell and Rick will become Elsebel's "subjects", and the subjects will be protected by the "king".

It's that simple.

"Then, let's go back to our place of residence first." Rick stood up, put on his goggles and mask again, and said, "Besides, I also need to explain the cooperation to others."

"Of course." Elsebell smiled. She waited for Rem and Ram to pack away the cart, teacups, and trays, then waved her hand to let the chairs and tables sink into the ground again.

"By the way, what kind of magic is this?"

"Well, the manipulation of matter." Elsebell raised her right hand and said, "One of my abilities is that I can change the shape of any known matter, for example..."

With the waving of Elsebel's fingers, a "Rick" made of metal suddenly appeared on the ground. Its appearance was exactly the same as Rick, even the structure of the windproof glasses, even the mask and even clothes. The patterns on them are all exactly the same.

"Is this magic?" Ivan's eyes widened and he said, "Is it possible to do this kind of thing? This is too powerful!"

"Yiwang, don't forget, this is a god." Rick looked helplessly at his companion and said, "I think not everyone can do this level of things."

"Well, I don't know about this." Elsebell shook her head and said, "I have been asleep for a long time, and I don't know much about Disbord's current situation."

"But you are a divine race after all, right?" Ya Lei couldn't help but ask, "So how can other races surpass you?"

"You can't say that." Elsebell waved her hand and said, "What I can guarantee is the power of magic! But in terms of the diverse use of magic, I may not be able to compete with people of other races."

"Really?" Yiwang opened his mouth wide, "Aren't the gods invincible?"

"If the gods are invincible, then why are the other races fighting for it?" Elsebell looked at Ivan with a dumbfounded look and said, "The gods are just creatures that are too powerful and have mastered some rules."

In fact, as long as the strength reaches the planet level, you can obtain different permissions according to the world - for example, in the steel world, even if the strength does not reach the planet level, you can still obtain the world's permissions through the Gate of Truth. Truth, this is also a rule authority.

In fact, if someone in the world of steel masters the secret of the soul, life can also be created - the little man in the bottle has already completed half of it, but he was indulged in his own arrogance and ultimately failed.

"You yourself are a divine species. Are you really okay with saying that?" Rick covered his forehead and said, "Shouldn't you try your best to deepen the impression that the divine species is invincible and make us more obedient?"

"I think that instead of using force to make you obey..." Elsebell looked at Rick with a smile and said: "It is better to use a stable life to make you obey - well fed, well clothed, well housed, and safe. Isn’t it enough to be protected?”

End of this chapter

Being fed, clothed, and safe—is that enough?

For most ordinary people, such conditions are enough, very enough!

(Of course, there are inevitably some ambitious people in every era, and these are naturally excluded from protection)

"If you can eat well, wear warm clothes, live comfortably, and be safe and secure..." Rick's eyes seemed to be in a trance, probably looking forward to such a scene, "then no one will have second thoughts. "

"Hahaha, I hope so." Elsebell smiled. She looked at the sky and said, "I suggest we set off quickly...well...it's a bit troublesome."

"What's wrong?" Rick looked at Elsebell and said, "If you have any information, please share it with me."

"Ah, it's not a big deal." Elsebell scratched the back of her head and said, "Actually, besides the three of us, I also have two companions here, but they just went to find other gods. The trouble is gone."

"..." Rick felt a little dizzy. He stretched out his hand to support Ivan who was beside him, then licked his dry lips with his tongue, swallowed a sip of saliva, and then said in a hoarse voice: " The so-called trouble refers to..."

"If nothing else... probably beat the opponent?" Elsebell tilted her head and said: "Zi Ma may not directly use her fists, but Hua Ma is hard to say."

"Ah, it's the Kazami Yuka after all." Remilia on the side tugged at the corner of her mouth, and then touched her butt imperceptibly, showing a hint of aggrieved expression.

'Miss...' Sakuya's expression at this time was like a cat sucking catnip, and she felt as if she was about to ascend to heaven, 'It's so cute! Ah, please let me - Sakuya - come and soothe the little butt on your hand! Is it rubbing, touching, or licking? Haas Haas…’

Of course, on the surface, Sakuya still stood upright behind Remilia, with a business maid smile on her face, and the attitude of an absolutely chic head maid.

"Feng Jian Youxiang is Hua Ma...ah, but don't shout, otherwise you will be beaten to death." Elsebell explained to Rick, "Well, Hua Ma is the most powerful person here. Bar."

"Stronger than you?"

"Yes, stronger than me." Elsebell smiled and said, "I just saw that Hua Ma and Zi Ma were confronting Artex outside the atmosphere, so we'd better act first, otherwise we'll wait a moment If those people fight, the entire ground will tremble - I mean, we need to go to your side first and create more than one defensive barrier, otherwise the consequences will be more troublesome."

What is the atmosphere?

Although Rick didn't understand, he probably understood that it would be very dangerous next, so he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I will lead the way now."

"No, no, no, no, no?" Elsebell looked at Rick and couldn't help but said, "Does anyone really think that they have to run when they are around a god?"

"Eh?" Rick was stunned.

"Give me the direction, and tell me the distance." Elsebell looked at Rick, raised her eyebrows and said, "Let me show you what the gods can do."

"..." Rick pointed to the gathering place of the human species he led and said: "This direction, for example, is probably..."

Although she couldn't understand the distance that Rick was talking about, it wasn't a big problem because Elsebell could see where Rick came from just by reading her mind, thus indirectly knowing where he came from. Here are directions to the gathering place and examples.

"OK." Elsebell snapped her fingers and said, "Then - the door that seals the power of darkness, I order you in the name of Little Ai, the contractor! Open it!"
