Chapter: Chapter 183
Letizia was in full swing preparing for battle, while her opponent seemed to have entered a state of inactivity.
Other than routinely checking Mo Zili’s location every day to remind Letizia that they were still after Mo Zili, there was no other movement.
Days went by, and Letizia’s resentment towards these enemies who loved to stand people up grew.
If they didn’t come for a day, she would have to be held and petted by Bai Ling for an hour. If they never came, would she have to be held by Bai Ling for her entire life?
What was even more annoying was that Xiao Ya’s vacation was almost over. If the matter wasn’t resolved, Xiao Ya would have to return to the human world to go to school first.
“Are you at ease leaving Xiao Ya to return alone?” Letizia, looking like a lazy fish, sprawled on the desk. Sitting opposite her was our Miss Bai.
During these few days of eerily peaceful days, Bai Ling had even gone out with Xiao Ya to buy some things.
In her words, they were souvenirs.
“That girl Emily should have finished her vacation too. She can accompany Xiao Ya back to the human world.” Bai Ling stated that it wasn’t a big problem. The human world was quite peaceful recently, and after returning home, her old friends would take over Xiao Ya’s protection.
As for living arrangements, there was even less to worry about. Xiao Ya’s self-care ability was quite commendable.
At least it was several Kiras better than the two older sisters present.
“Then you go and talk to Kira. Emily is Kira’s person. I don’t deign to snatch someone from my sister,” Letizia said that she couldn’t command Emily, and Bai Ling had to find Kira for help. “I just want to know when those guys will come. They check Mo Zili’s position every day. They definitely won’t give up on Mo Zili, but why haven’t they come?”
Why haven’t they come? Naturally, it’s because they are waiting for a suitable time.
At least in Mo Zili’s current physical condition, a direct attack is not an option.
“I wish I could go and snatch her directly, but your body hasn’t recovered to full combat strength yet, and our people are still being gathered. Since Mo Zili’s location hasn’t changed, we’ll just wait and see how long our opponents can maintain such a high level of defense,” said the short-haired woman to Mo Zili’s teacher.
In the past few days, she had also sent people and personally scouted Mo Zili’s location, and the conclusion was the same: the people there were not official forces of the Demon Race, but another unknown organization.
As for why they were not official forces of the Demon Race, the reason was simple: none of the people there resembled members of the official forces of the Demon Race.
Besides Mo Zili, who else was there? A black-haired and a white-haired human, and a demon disguised in human form. Could this be the official forces of the Demon Race?
Moreover, judging by their relaxed demeanor, without any tension, the short-haired woman even felt that these people were on vacation.
Why did they take Mo Zili?
It was probably because of Mo Zili’s excellent talent, which they took a liking to.
For organizations like these, seeing a gifted girl and directly snatching her is very normal, for example, our famous Divine Seat.
Half of the people they recruit are by force.
“I’ve already sent someone to report them. If the Demon King’s people are not stupid or deaf, they will definitely react. We can take that opportunity to fish in troubled waters,” the short-haired woman narrowed her eyes, looking inscrutable.
This organization and the Demon King are certainly not allies. If they were together, why would they keep Mo Zili in their hands instead of handing her over to the Demon King?
After all, the current Demon King must already know the importance of Mo Zili, because someone has seen that divine envoy of the Divine Seat moving around the Demon King’s palace.
This indicates that the Divine Seat has reached a consensus with the Demon King and will come to deal with them together.
At this time, someone needs to divert the firepower. The mysterious organization that suddenly appeared and abducted Mo Zili is a very good choice.
What would the Demon King think if he were told about their existence?
The short-haired woman didn’t know the answer. That empress always liked to play by her own rules, but one thing was certain: the Demon King would try his best to control Mo Zili.
Therefore, conflict between the Demon King and this mysterious organization is inevitable, and the result of the conflict will inevitably be the Demon King’s victory.
After all, this place is called Demon King City. If the Demon King loses on his home turf, it would be a huge joke.
“That sounds good, but do you know when the Demon King will take action? What if they succeed with a surprise attack?”
“We’ll play it by ear. We can’t force our way into the Demon King’s palace. And given the Demon King’s temperament, he’ll probably kill Mo Zili directly. If the Demon King really succeeds, we don’t need to worry about it anymore; it’s better to just run away.”
If they didn’t release gods to deal with the Demon King and only relied on their current combat strength, the short-haired woman felt that their side would likely be quickly defeated by the Demon King in five minutes.
“Well, then hurry up and prepare. My combat strength has almost recovered, and I’m ready for battle at any time.”
“I know, I know, but we have to wait and see what the Demon King does.”
The Demon King’s actions?
The Demon King was currently laughing heartily.
“These smartasses are planning very well, trying to use the ‘drive the tiger to devour the wolf’ tactic to fish in troubled waters. Unfortunately, this strategy is flawed.” Letizia looked at the举报信 in her hand and said with a wry smile.
It was too funny that she reported herself to herself.
Anyone with a brain would know who wrote the report letter. Besides those who wanted to get Mo Zili, who else could it be?
“Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole.” Xue’er also had a smile on her face. The moment she received this report letter, she thought of how to use it.
“It seems we’re on the same page.” Letizia smiled and folded the letter. “After Kira returns, call Bai Ling over, and the three of us will discuss it carefully. This time, we must get Mo Zili’s teacher and the divine artifact in her hands.”
Others were not important; what was important was the divine artifact. As long as she had the divine artifact, even if Mo Zili was taken away, the other side would have no chance to flip the table.
“Understood!”
…
“Oh, have the things in the basement been deciphered yet?” After discussing countermeasures with Bai Ling and the others, Letizia received another piece of good news from Deng Li.
The information in the remaining documents in the basement had been extracted by the sages.
Although most of the documents were soaked in blood when they were first discovered, making them almost illegible, the sages were experienced in handling such things and successfully restored the crucial clues in just a few days.
With these clues, the mist that had enveloped Mo Zili completely dissipated, allowing Letizia to understand the girl’s true origins.
“She’s an artificial human?” Letizia stood by the window, watching the setting sun, and murmured.
The restored information had been compiled and sent to her. The first page clearly stated Mo Zili’s identity.
The bloodline of the betrayers had long since been severed, and Mo Zili was a clone-like existence.
From a hidden tomb, the noble whom Letizia had discovered to have rebellious intentions back then found a relatively well-preserved corpse.
From the corpse, he obtained genetic information, and with the help of several human friends who wished to remain anonymous, he successfully created a little girl.
More accurately, several little girls.
The first few test subjects died in infancy for various reasons. The noble used them to create the monster placed in the basement.
It was only with the appearance of Mo Zili, the first girl who did not die, that the noble was overjoyed. He saw an opportunity to realize his wish.
He hated the Demon Race, he hated the world that gave birth to him, he was a complete lunatic.
“Although he’s a lunatic, his abilities are considerable,” Letizia sighed. The noble’s idea was simple: he wanted to use gods as his weapons to destroy the entire world.
As for how to control the gods, he also had a bold idea.
Unfortunately, the method the noble thought of was something Letizia could currently use. As long as the noble’s conjecture was correct, Letizia could win this battle without any effort.
“Confining a god’s spirit within a controlled body, what a genius idea.”
Mo Ziling was the method the noble originally intended to use to control the gods.
For the noble, releasing the gods directly was a highly risky matter. He could not predict what the gods would do after being released.
Perhaps the gods would form an alliance with the Demon King, which was something he did not want to see. Therefore, he needed a way to control the gods.
And judging by Mo Ziling’s current state, the noble’s conjecture was not wrong.
There was a one-sided contract between that girl’s body and Letizia, but her soul was free.
This was similar to the noble’s conjecture. Without Letizia’s permission, Mo Ziling’s soul could not escape the controlled body.
Letizia didn’t know the principle behind this, probably the wondrous relationship between the soul and the body.
“I need to discuss the feasibility of this method with Sasha,” Letizia said softly.
“Your Majesty, the action is scheduled to begin at midnight tonight. Should we postpone it?” Xue’er stood behind Letizia and asked.
She didn’t know what Deng Li had sent, but judging by Letizia’s expression, this matter should be very important, even affecting the success or failure of this plan.
“No need. Our objective has not changed. We just need to kill the mice hiding in the dark and seize the divine artifact.” Letizia shook her head. She didn’t intend to use the power of the gods. If she could suppress the god back, she would suppress it.
If she couldn’t suppress it, then it wouldn’t be too late to consider controlling it.
The prerequisite for all this was to first grasp the divine artifact. The good show at midnight tonight was prepared for those self-proclaimed smart mice.
“The plan will proceed as originally planned. Let Lance lead the team to attack here. Tell him not to hold back when the fighting starts, and to do whatever it takes,” Letizia said, clenching her fist.
It was a performance, after all, and it couldn’t be too fake, otherwise, it would be easily seen through.
Especially Lance, the renowned Heavenly King, if he held back, those mice would easily notice something was wrong.
If anyone were to go easy, it should be Bai Ling. Few people in the Demon Race knew Bai Ling’s true combat strength, so letting her go easy and put up a tough fight would be more likely to lure the fish.
“I’ll try not to kill Lance with one sword.” Bai Ling walked in from outside with the sound of a faint door opening. “Xiao Ya was taken to the Demon King’s palace by Kira. Everyone else here, except for Mo Zili, are combat personnel, right?”
This place was about to become a battlefield. Xiao Ya, a weak girl with only a super unstable anti-magic field, was naturally not suitable to stay here. Therefore, after discussing with Bai Ling, Letizia decided to let Kira take Xiao Ya to a safe place.
And where was the safest place in Demon King City? Undoubtedly, it was the Demon King’s palace.
“That silly girl wouldn’t still not guess my identity even after all this, would she?” Letizia thought.
So, did Xiao Ya guess correctly?
She did not.
Yes, she still hadn’t guessed that Letizia was actually the Demon King of the Demon Race.
Because she felt that Sister Qianqian would not expose her identity so carelessly.
Sister Qianqian had made a bet with her earlier, and the bet was not over yet. Given Sister Qianqian’s personality, would she do something that would lead to her own victory like this?
No, Xiao Ya felt she knew Sister Qianqian very well. In her heart, Sister Qianqian was petty and extremely competitive, and she would definitely not do something like conceding defeat.
Since Sister Qianqian had let Little Qi take her to the Demon King’s palace, it meant that Sister Qianqian was definitely not the Demon King, so Sister Qianqian could send her here without any psychological burden.
“Xiao Qi, is it really okay for me to enter the Demon King’s palace like this?” Xiao Ya asked, holding Kira’s hand tightly with a hint of fear.
Although Sister Qianqian could let Kira bring her here, it must have been through connections, but thinking about possibly encountering the ferocious Demon King at any moment, Xiao Ya couldn’t help but feel scared.
“It’s okay. The Demon King is quite busy recently and doesn’t stay in the Demon King’s palace most of the time. Sister and the Demon King have a good relationship, and she’s very welcome to have you stay here for a few days.” Kira’s eyes twitched slightly. This foolish girl, even at this point, hadn’t guessed that her sister was actually the Demon King?
