The Players and the Protagonist Want to Kill Me – Chapter 757

Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)

“Crack!”

A crisp breaking sound.

It was a bit like stepping on a potato chip.

Xi Wei’s thoughts snapped back, his gaze locked onto the Holy Spirit Horn hanging at his waist. He saw that a crack had already appeared on the Holy Spirit Horn…

“Crack—”

The moment he looked at the Holy Spirit Horn.

Another crack appeared.

What was going on?

He had only been pondering the Blank Godhead for a moment, how could he have managed to crack the Holy Spirit Horn? If the Holy Spirit Horn broke, he wouldn’t be able to summon Lewenstein.

This made Xi Wei a little nervous.

“Master, what’s wrong?”

Sakura, who had been observing Xi Wei, noticed the anomaly.

Xi Wei had been lost in thought just now, his expression shifting from astonishment to joy, then to disappointment, and now it had completely turned serious and worried.

“It’s nothing, just a little problem with the horn…” Xi Wei raised his hand, allowing Sakura to see what he was holding.

Sakura had a deep impression of this horn.

Before, when she was manipulated by the succubus power in her bloodline, it was this horn that brought her back to her senses. Although it caused a bit of pain, it showed that this horn was definitely a rare artifact with a strong restraint effect on demons.

But why would the horn crack when no one had touched it?

“Crack—”

Another crack appeared.

Xi Wei couldn’t stand it anymore and directly blew the horn, preparing to summon Lewenstein. However, the horn, which was usually clear and melodious, now emitted an unpleasant “poof poof” sound, like a stomach upset.

A thought was transmitted to Xi Wei’s mind through the horn.

It was from Lewenstein.

He told Xi Wei that it was nothing.

He asked Xi Wei to place the horn in Holy Light, and then the horn would gradually recover. He also said that he had something to do in the Sleeping Land today and couldn’t come down…

“What could possibly be happening in the Sleeping Land… it’s just a pile of coffins…” Xi Wei muttered in confusion. Although he didn’t understand, he decided to do as he was told.

If there was any Holy Light in Winter Fort, it would definitely be found with Gabriel.

Coincidentally, Gabriel should be back at Winter Fort for lunch, and at other times, she could probably only be found at the Law Enforcement Agency.

“Sakura, let’s go eat first. You must be hungry too.”

Sakura was about to say she wasn’t hungry when her stomach rumbled.

Her pretty face instantly flushed, and she shyly nodded.

“Oh, yes, okay, Master.”

Xi Wei led Sakura through the long corridor and indeed saw Gabriel in the dining hall. This Law Enforcement Officer was eating while reading documents, exuding the aura of a workaholic and a strong woman.

“Eat properly when you’re eating.”

Xi Wei sat opposite Gabriel.

He reached out and closed the documents on the table.

Gabriel looked up, her brow furrowed.

Seeing that it was Xi Wei, the killing intent that had gathered in her eyes immediately vanished. She obediently nodded and ate her meal seriously.

As soon as Xi Wei sat down.

The castle chefs, who had already prepared the food, brought the dishes.

Due to the large population in Winter Fort and the inconsistent meal times for the maids and soldiers, Xi Wei eventually converted the dining hall into this cafeteria-style model.

Every evening, someone would inquire about the next day’s menu and the preferences of the maids, and then, based on this, the castle kitchen would start preparing the food early in the morning. This eliminated waiting, improved efficiency, and ensured everyone could eat their desired meals.

Of course, this arrangement would make the castle chefs work very hard.

In response, Xi Wei’s solution was to increase their wages.

He increased them significantly.

After all, he wasn’t short of money.

“You’re only eating this for lunch?”

Gabriel frowned again as she looked at the pile of vegetarian dishes on Xi Wei’s plate.

How could a renowned Legendary Knight be satisfied with such little food?

Xi Wei scratched his head.

He had to eat so much Dragon Milk buffet every morning.

Usually, Ruo Yi and Loli would also take turns bringing him carefully prepared pastries and delicacies every day.

So, he only ate a small portion of vegetarian dishes in the cafeteria each time. Eating more would be a complete waste… In fact, he didn’t even need to come to the cafeteria, but for the sake of interacting more with everyone and for inspection purposes, he still ate a symbolic meal in the dining hall every day.

“Well, my appetite has been rather light recently…”

Xi Wei made an excuse.

Due to the overwhelming demand from readers, a VIP membership ad-free feature is now available.

However, Gabriel picked up the un-touched roasted suckling pig from her plate and put it onto Xi Wei’s plate.

“Here, eat more.”

“This…”

Looking at the roasted suckling pig on his plate.

Xi Wei was truly troubled.

He had already consumed too much protein today.

Connie’s Dragon Milk was incredibly filling!

“No refusal.”

Gabriel rolled her eyes and pushed the plate further towards Xi Wei.

“Did you come to see me for something today? If not, a mere Law Enforcement Officer like me probably wouldn’t be able to see a busy person like you, right?”

Gabriel chewed the fruit in her mouth, swallowed, and her golden eyes scanned back and forth between Sakura and Xi Wei, her tone laced with a strong hint of vinegar.

“Yes, I did come to see you.”

Xi Wei picked up his fork and knife and ate a piece of the roasted suckling pig.

The chef had roasted it perfectly, but now it tasted like chewing on wax, as if he had stuffed a lump of butter into his mouth after eating a cake.

“The Holy Spirit Horn has a problem and needs Holy Light to repair it.” He said after some deliberation, then took out the Holy Spirit Horn and placed it on the table, the cracks now clearly visible.

“Of course, that’s not the only issue. The main reason is that I haven’t seen you in a long time, and I wanted to see how you’ve been recently.”

“I… I’m fine.”

Hearing that Xi Wei was concerned about her, even though there was some exaggeration in his words, a sweet smile bloomed on Gabriel’s lips. She then happily took the Holy Spirit Horn.

“Leave this to me. I’ll place it next to the Divine Sword of Judgment. The Divine Sword of Judgment constantly emits Holy Light. If that’s not enough, I can also give it a baptism with the Holy Light spell.”

He had originally thought he would have to go through some trouble with Gabriel.

He didn’t expect Gabriel to be so accommodating.

Xi Wei rubbed his nose, feeling like a scumbag.

To cover up the awkward atmosphere.

He started to earnestly devour the roasted suckling pig.

Even so, he could clearly feel Gabriel’s fervent gaze.

“Listen to my advice.”

After some time, it seemed they had finished eating.

Gabriel let out a soft hum.

Xi Wei looked up.

He saw Gabriel’s gaze resting on Sakura’s face.

Sakura had also removed her helmet and was eating, her shoulders hunched. She had an instinctive fear of Gabriel, who was full of Holy Light power.

“What?”

“Succubi might be exciting, but it’s just for fun. If you get too addicted, Loli and Ruo Yi will be sad~”

Gabriel’s words were pointed.

Sakura’s small hand holding the spoon trembled, and all the natto on the spoon fell off.

“And besides…” Gabriel provocatively licked her red lips, a fleeting but exceptionally cold killing intent flashing in her eyes, “if that sort of thing happens, I’ll kill all the succubi… Alright, please enjoy your meal. Come visit the Law Enforcement Agency when you have time~”

Xi Wei: “(ﾟ⊿ﾟ)ﾂ???”

Sakura: “⊙︿⊙!!!”

With that, the Law Enforcement Officer gracefully left.

She didn’t forget to personally hand her meal tray to the waiting servants.

“Did she misunderstand something?”

Xi Wei gave a helpless wry smile.

He had indeed overlooked one thing.

That was Gabriel’s hatred for demons.

But even with such hatred for demons.

Before understanding Sakura’s identity, she hadn’t attacked.

At that distance.

Killing Sakura was an instant matter for Gabriel.
