Chapter: Chapter 291
When Kirala found Leticia with a full plate of food, Leticia was already cradling the white-haired woman’s neck and babbling incoherently.
“To be frank, I’m quite optimistic about your Divine Seat. You have so many cards in hand and such reliable subordinates, I’m truly envious to death.”
Seeing that the white-haired woman’s expression was clearly showing signs of breaking down, Kirala quickly placed the food tray on an empty table nearby and reached out to pull her embarrassing sister away from the white-haired woman.
“I apologize, my sister has some issues in this area and often goes berserk. I hope you don’t mind, big sister.” After pulling Leticia to her side, Kirala said to the white-haired woman with an apologetic look.
After speaking, she glared fiercely at Leticia, signaling her to apologize quickly.
Even if Leticia and Sasha had a good relationship, this white-haired lady didn’t know Leticia. If Leticia got so chummy, it would easily cause this woman to develop an aversion, wouldn’t it?
“Cough, cough, sorry, sorry. I was too excited when I learned you were from the Divine Seat.” Leticia pouted and apologized reluctantly.
The woman showed a casual smile, “It’s okay. I can understand your feelings, Miss. Seeing me so happy must be because of some other matter, right?”
Leticia blinked, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face. She had been completely seen through.
“Yes, indeed, I have something to ask.” Leticia nodded, turning her head towards the cat-eared woman, “Excuse me, could you step aside for a moment?”
The cat-eared woman didn’t refuse. Before Leticia arrived, she and the White Lady had almost finished their discussion. Leaving now was no problem.
However, she was still a little curious about what Leticia wanted to discuss with this White Lady from the Divine Seat.
This black-haired demoness was quite a formidable existence, and the White Lady seemed to have some say in the Divine Seat. Whatever they were going to discuss must be more important than what she had just discussed with the White Lady.
But judging by Leticia’s attitude, she didn’t want anyone to know what she was going to talk about with the White Lady. However, this was normal. After all, she and Leticia had only met once.
They hadn’t even gotten to the point of familiarity, so how could Leticia let her know about her interactions with the Divine Seat?
“Then, see you another day.”
After the cat-eared woman left, Leticia sat in the seat the cat-eared woman had just vacated and gently snapped her fingers.
A simple soundproofing magic was cast, and now only the two of them could hear their conversation.
“Do I still need to introduce myself?” Leticia asked.
The white-haired woman shook her head. From Leticia’s words just now, she had already found the person who matched the conditions in her memory.
It was the powerful magician, the Demon King Leticia Infino, reported by Sasha.
If she was seeking the Divine Seat’s help at this time, there was only one possibility: she had encountered a disaster that was beyond human power.
“I’ve heard of the Demon King’s fame. You needing our help means that there are matters related to gods in the Central City.” The woman said lightly, without any of her previous awkwardness, “Let me state in advance, if you want my help, the price you will have to pay is likely to be quite significant.”
“I was also dragged here to help. If you want money, go ask the humans.” Leticia immediately stated that she wouldn’t pay. She was helping Bai Ling find reinforcements, so why should she pay herself?
The woman showed an interesting expression. This was the first time she had seen such a reaction. Generally, after hearing her request, ordinary people would either bargain or reluctantly agree after hesitation, but they would never react like Leticia.
Even though it was this girl asking for her help, she was told to go ask others for money, which was too strange.
“Then how do I know if I can receive the compensation I want?” The woman tapped the tabletop with her finger and asked earnestly.
“Can’t you show some resolve? We are facing a god right now, and aren’t you guys in the Divine Seat the most interested in gods?” Leticia looked incredulous, as if what the woman said was incredibly surprising. “I don’t think you should even ask for compensation.”
Is this the Demon King? The thickness of her skin is truly surprising.
The white-haired woman rested her chin on her hand, “Indeed, the Divine Seat does not collect compensation for matters related to gods, but that doesn’t mean I can’t collect compensation.”
“Huh?”
“After helping you resolve matters concerning a god, the headquarters won’t give me a bonus. I must get some reward for such life-and-death work, right?” The woman appeared mercenary, and it was hard to believe that her previous demeanor was so transcendent.
Leticia initially thought this woman was an aloof expert, but unexpectedly, this woman turned out to be like this.
She had misjudged, damn it.
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely receive compensation. Since you know my identity, you must also know that I have a good relationship with that person, right?” Leticia scratched her head and said.
The white-haired woman naturally knew who that person was. She had come here this time, hiding from everyone, for that person.
And now, an opportunity had presented itself.
With the Demon King as an introducer, she could easily approach that person.
“In that case, even with the combined efforts of the two of you, you can’t resolve the situation in Central City?” But she still had to act. Although she knew almost everything, the woman still pretended to know nothing.
“Matters related to gods must be handled by people from your Divine Seat. Both she and I are just amateurs.” Leticia generously admitted her shortcomings in this regard, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.
No one is perfect, and no gold is completely pure. There is no one in this world who knows everything.
Leticia and Bai Ling were powerful in combat, but when it came to knowledge about gods, neither of them was particularly good. At this time, they needed help from others.
For example, scholars from the Divine Seat.
“Alright, I’m on vacation anyway, so it’s not impossible to help you once.” The white-haired woman nodded, “What do I need to do?”
“That’s simple. You just need to enter the city and find that person. I’ll give you her contact information. Once you enter Central City, just contact her directly. I’m just a facilitator.”
The conversation between the two ended quickly. After agreeing to Leticia’s request and receiving Bai Ling’s contact information from the Demon King, the white-haired woman resumed her calm demeanor and left the diner gracefully.
Watching the woman’s retreating figure, Leticia pouted, “You really can’t judge people from the Divine Seat by their appearance. Such a beautiful woman turned out to be someone obsessed with money, tsk tsk tsk, the world is changing, and people’s hearts are not as good as they used to be.”
“I didn’t see it at all.” Kirala held a hamburger and took small bites, “In my eyes, that woman is still the same as when she was asking for directions. Only her white hair is particularly eye-catching.”
“That’s because your magic hasn’t reached its peak yet.” Leticia picked up the slightly cooled hamburger and casually remarked, “I think I need to tutor you when I have time. Your current strength has been stagnating for how long? Several years, right?”
Speaking of this, Kirala’s expression became a little unhappy. She had indeed been stuck at her current power level for a very long time. Although this power level was considered quite high among demons, it was far too weak compared to her sister.
But she had no choice. Her strength was stuck at this point, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t advance any further.
In other words, she had hit a bottleneck.
“I really don’t know why my sister’s talent is so good. You are so young, yet you possess the strength of the previous Demon Kings in their prime,” Kirala muttered softly. Her talent was actually not bad; it wasn’t much different from the previous Demon Kings.
The only problem was that Leticia’s talent was too good. She had almost no bottlenecks, and her strength increased as easily as eating and drinking. Especially when she was young, her breakthrough speed could be described as rocket-like.
“Yesterday she only knew a few simple spells, and today she’s learning intermediate spells. Tomorrow, won’t she be going to learn forbidden curses?” This was the complaint of one of Leticia’s magic teachers.
“Luck. Who told me to be born into such a good family?” Leticia showed a smug smile, looking incredibly annoying.
After all, she was a transmigrator. What kind of transmigrator would have bad talent?
Her current achievements were still nothing compared to her brilliant predecessors. Being chased and beaten by local natives was simply too embarrassing.
“Hmph, you can brag all you want. I’m going to study magic, so those documents will be handled by you, sister.” Kirala snorted. Her stagnation in strength was partly due to Leticia. If Leticia hadn’t entered a state of unreasonable slacking, would she have had to waste her time cleaning up her sister’s mess?
Cleaning up these messes took a lot of effort. After doing those things every day, where would Kirala have the time to study magic and improve her strength?
She wasn’t Superman, she was just a young girl under twenty!
“I believe that with Kirala’s talent, she can definitely squeeze time out of a sponge.” Leticia patted her sister’s shoulder with a serious expression, but her words made a few veins bulge on Kirala’s forehead.
“Sister, if you say that again, I’m going to hit you.” Kirala threatened, extending her tightly clenched fist like a claw.
“Heh heh.”
…
“Someone from the Divine Seat?” Bai Ling frowned slightly, looking at the message sent by Leticia. It was a bit strange that someone from the Divine Seat would appear at this time.
Pulling up another message, Bai Ling’s frown deepened. There were some things she hadn’t told Leticia – that the Divine Seat’s progress in the western battle was not going smoothly, and that the Divine Seat should be concentrating all its strength there right now. So why would someone suddenly come to Central City?
However, Leticia’s message said that the woman was indeed a member of the Divine Seat and of a high rank. It was hard not to overthink having someone of this caliber appear in Central City at this particular time.
After much deliberation, Bai Ling finally decided not to think about it anymore.
“Hey, Senior Sang, Qianqian found someone from the Divine Seat. That person has already arrived in Central City. What should we do?” Bai Ling called Senior Sang and told him about Leticia finding a member of the Divine Seat.
In Bai Ling’s heart, Senior Sang was undoubtedly someone who could make decisions for her, and Senior Sang’s decisions were usually not wrong.
Being able to clear her mind and just fight was Bai Ling’s dream. She couldn’t adapt to situations that required her to use her brain.
“Someone from the Divine Seat? Are you sure, Su Qianqian?” Hearing Bai Ling’s words, Senior Sang let out a slight exclamation on the other end of the phone.
Weren’t all the people from the Divine Seat concentrated in that place?
It was rumored that even the boss of the Divine Seat had gone there, and most of the big figures from the Divine Seat had appeared there. But even with such a luxurious lineup, they still couldn’t break through the defenses of that place.
The power of divine artifacts was truly terrifying.
Based on the few images transmitted from the front lines, Senior Sang knew that the Divine Seat would not be able to defeat that cult anytime soon. And at this time, someone from the Divine Seat suddenly appeared in Central City, wasn’t that strange?
“Yes, she said she’s sure, and I believe her judgment is correct. That person should be from the Divine Seat, no mistake about it.” Bai Ling nodded, “Qianqian said that person will contact me soon.”
From Bai Ling’s words, Senior Sang heard genuine trust. Once upon a time, this trust was solely his.
Now Bai Ling also trusted that demoness, which made Senior Sang unsure of what to say.
Should he be gratified or worried?
Bai Ling was becoming more and more like a normal girl, which was good, but demon nature was cunning. Senior Sang was worried that Bai Ling might be deceived by that demon, and it would be fine if she was tricked out of her feelings or money, but he was afraid that Bai Ling would be led astray and put herself in danger.
“Xiao Bai, do you trust Su Qianqian a lot?” Senior Sang asked meaningfully.
Bai Ling, however, did not detect anything unusual. She naturally replied with an “En,” saying, “On serious matters, she won’t throw a tantrum, but at other times, she’s not so reliable.”
“Since you trust her, I’ll trust her once too. After all, we do need the assistance of a god expert right now.” Senior Sang pondered for a moment before admitting that they indeed needed someone from the Divine Seat to help them.
