Chapter 156 The Messenger Liliana, the Mysterious Marquis Voban

After the meal, although Tony tried his best to pull Bai Ye along, wanting to see the powers he had harvested from the two unyielding beings on Sardinia, powers are, after all, not the kind of magic in some worlds where the spectacle is more about showing off than practicality...

Bai Ye righteously and firmly rejected a certain idiot who tried to throw the dignity of a god-slayer to the ground and trample on it.

However, as a reward for killing one more disobedient person and taking away the power that might have belonged to Tony, Bai Ye also gave him some "good things".

It was a bag of random relics left behind by some god or hero.

As for whether these things can actually summon the rebellious, that depends on how lucky Tony is... But seriously, the fact that god-slayers can kill gods with mortal bodies and usurp their power is the result of a series of low-probability events. The luck of this group is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even if something like "Tony went next door to buy a lottery ticket and found out he won the jackpot that night" happened, Bai Ye wouldn't find it strange.

After all, even though he was a visitor from outside this world, he could still feel as if he had been given a buff of +99999 luck by someone in this world. For example, Erica's almost daily giveaways of benefits, whether intentional or unintentional, were a cough.

"Your Majesty, Liliana Kranichal, the Knight of the Bronze Black Cross, requests an audience." No sooner had Tony left than Erica appeared before him and reported this.

"What is the relationship between the Bronze Black Cross and your Copper Black Cross? Are they from the same lineage?"

Erica's expression froze: "On the contrary, both the Copper Black Cross and the Bronze Black Cross wish they could annihilate each other in the next second; they are outright enemies."

Enemy?

Bai Ye nodded slightly... He didn't think Erica would deceive him about information that could be easily found out with a little inquiry. Moreover, given his recent relationship with the Bronze Black Cross, even if the Bronze Black Cross really had a good relationship with the Bronze Black Cross, as long as the purpose of coming to him wasn't too outrageous, Bai Ye felt that Erica would probably agree.

However, judging from the tone of Erica's voice when she mentioned the knight named Liliana, there was really no sense of enmity. If I had to give an example... would Kaguya and Mokou count?

"Since we're enemies, if I were in your shoes, even if you kept this from me and just made up some excuse to get rid of that Liliana, she probably wouldn't dare to come to me to confirm it, right?"

Erica gave a reply that caught Bai Ye's eye: "First, as a knight, although you are not the monarch I serve, that is not enough to justify me lying to you. Honesty is one of the principles of a knight."

"That's right." Bai Ye clapped his hands. "Since this is first, there must be a second, right?"

“Second…” Erica’s face darkened, and she began to grit her teeth: “Liliana came this time on the orders of another king, the Marquis Voban of Northern Europe, saying that there are some things she needs to say to you in person.”

"..."

The glorious and righteous image you established in my mind just half a minute ago with words that only a truly noble knight could utter has been shattered along with your current pained expression!

“Although I don’t know why the old man didn’t come to me himself, but instead found someone else to relay the message, but…” After a moment of contemplation, Bai Ye instructed Erica, “Bring her in.”

“Yes.” Erica nodded.

……

Not long after, Erica appeared before Bai Ye with a silver-haired girl dressed in a strict knight's uniform.

Yes, this is a genuine young girl. According to Erica, the two are about the same age. However, compared to Erica, who has E-cup breasts, the girl in front of her would look much less out of place if she told her age.

"Your Majesty, Liliana Kranichal from the Bronze Black Cross greets you." It was the same knightly salute that Baiye had grown tired of seeing these past few days.

"Get up. Did the old man send you to see me about something?"

Liliana straightened up, took an envelope from her inner pocket, and handed it to Bai Ye.

“My lord didn’t say anything specific, but instructed me to present this letter to the king, saying that I would understand after reading its contents.”

"Oh ho~" The old man has learned to keep people in suspense now?

While wondering what trick the old man was up to, Bai Ye also became curious about what was inside the envelope. He took the envelope from the young knight named Liliana and was about to open it when he caught a glimpse of Erica's eyes brimming with gossip...

"Erica, why don't you take Liliana to find a place to rest first? Or are you interested in what's inside?"

"I wouldn't dare," Erica quickly denied.

Is it that they dare not, or that they don't want to?

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. He simply waved his hand, signaling the two women to leave.

Once he was alone in the room, Bai Ye finally removed the seal from the envelope to prevent anyone from peeking at its contents. For 99% of magicians, recklessly removing this seal left by Marquis Voban would guarantee the audacious individual's death. However, as a god-slayer of equal caliber…

After the pale blue light landed on his hand and left a mark, Bai Ye casually rubbed his hand, and the mark disappeared from his hand.

Upon opening the letter, Bai Ye was instead greeted by a photo magic trick.

"When I sealed my words inside, although the contents were the same, the beginnings were slightly different. Since you saw this version of me, you probably just tore open the seal, right?"

The first thing Bai Ye heard after the old man's photo appeared made him want to burn the letter.

Fortunately, the rest of the content is normal.

"Now that you've received this letter, you must have already dealt with those two who refused to comply on Sardinia. I specifically asked Liliana to contact you after things were settled there, so you wouldn't try to shift the blame onto me again someday."

It's hard to explain in just a few words, but I happen to want to ask you for a favor in person. After you finish reading this letter, just have Liliana bring you to me. And on the way here, I've prepared several interesting gifts for you... Don't be too frightened, or I certainly won't mind my laughter."

This time, after confirming that no details had been overlooked, a ball of golden fire appeared in Bai Ye's hand, and the high temperature of the sun's fire directly burned the letter to ashes.

Chapter 157 Mr. Voban's Hedonistic Poison

Upon going outside, Bai Ye found Erica and Liliana chatting. He relayed the old man's words, which were roughly that Liliana should take him to see him according to the old man's arrangements, and that there would be some gifts along the way.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Liliana gave him a strange look: "Your Majesty, are you... sure?"

"What disgusting arrangements did that old guy prepare for me?"

“No, that’s not it.” Liliana shook her head. “To be honest, it’s something that most normal people dream of, but it might take a long time to achieve.”

"How long exactly?"

"If everything is completed..." the silver-haired girl thought for a moment, "it might take ten days to half a month, right?"

Ten days to half a month...

Byakuya has arranged for Yukari Yakumo to have a month of free time in the world of Inuyasha. Once that month is up, without the protection of the Dimensional Shop, there is a 99% chance that Yukari will be ostracized by that world. Of that 99%, there is a 9% chance that she will be sent back to Gensokyo, and the remaining 90% chance that she will be thrown into a spatial rift to fend for herself. Given Yukari's personality, she probably won't leave until the time limit is reached. In other words, Byakuya can only stay in the world of Godslayer for a maximum of one month before he has to go back to pick up Jeanne Alter.

Fourteen days have passed since he came into this world, and there are exactly two weeks left.

"Then let's do as the old man says. I'd like to know what tricks he's up to."

"……Yes."

Bai Ye keenly noticed that compared to when they first met, Liliana was now clearly more afraid of him... So what exactly did the old man arrange?

……

According to the old man's words as relayed by Liliana, having a genius like Erica, who was famous in the European magic world as a child prodigy, by his side would have some influence on his plans. Therefore, after officially embarking on the journey, Erica temporarily separated from Bai Ye.

Led by Liliana, Bai Ye boarded a stretched Lincoln. Through the windshield, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, and after a closer look, he was instantly filled with a pained expression...

How bored must the old man be to actually arrange for a super luxury car convoy to escort him?

Aren't you afraid that by showing up so arrogantly on the street, you might get robbed by some resentful young man passing by?

But seriously, the feeling of being surrounded by luxury cars that he could only admire remotely through the internet before his time travel, and being able to choose which car to ride in according to his own wishes, even driving a Rolls-Royce like a bumper and having people cheer... is really awesome!

After a journey of eating, drinking, and having fun, they left Italy and arrived in a small Nordic country. After checking into the presidential suite of the most luxurious hotel in the country's capital, Bai Ye took a shower...

These past few days, without using his superhuman physical abilities to turn an enjoyable trip into an awkward one, he almost felt completely useless.

After drying himself off, Bai Ye grabbed a bathrobe and put it on. He went to the bedroom to rest for the night, but before he could even open the door, he sensed something was wrong.

Why is there a breathing sound in my room that doesn't belong to him?

He pushed open the door and turned on the light. There, lying on his bed, was a curvaceous young woman with her bare shoulders exposed, and judging from the distance, she was barely dressed either. Hearing the door open, his breathing quickened.

Did I go to the wrong room?

No, this must be that crazy old man's arrangement!

Thinking of the strange expression on Liliana's face when she said goodnight to him as usual today, Bai Ye suddenly felt that if he were to replace the person in bed with Liliana herself, he might actually take the opportunity to have his way first. But this girl, who clearly didn't even know her own identity... tsk!

I, Bai Ye, am not just anyone!

With a bang, Bai Ye slammed the door shut and went straight next door to find Liliana, who lived there.

"Your Majesty, you're done so quickly?" Liliana exclaimed as she opened the door and let Bai Ye in, looking him up and down.

"...What nonsense are you spouting? Explain what exactly happened!" Bai Ye smacked the girl on the head, who seemed to be lost in thought.

Covering her head, Liliana looked at Bai Ye with a stern face: "But this is one of the gifts that my lord instructed me to send to you. She is a princess of our country. You don't need to worry about impurity or anything like that. I had someone check her before sending her to your room. After her, there will be a total of six princesses from different countries who will be favored by you. If you have any ideas about how to have more fun, I can bring the remaining six to you as well."

"So..." Bai Ye grabbed Liliana's face with a dark expression and pulled it to the left and right: "Besides these, what other messy things are in that shameless old man's plan? What if he suddenly goes crazy and turns this book into porn and it gets taken down!"

"Ugh~ Ugh~" Liliana tried to explain, but each time the words were about to come out, they turned into ambiguous murmurs because of Bai Ye's hands playing with her face.

When Bai Ye finally let go, the girl quickly covered her face.

"Don't stop me. If I really wanted to continue, I could subdue even Voban himself, let alone you. If you don't want to experience that feeling again, you'd better tell me all his plans... Remember, all of them. If I find anything I've missed, then you're ready to go from being the 'Sword Fairy' and 'the eldest daughter of the Granichal family' to Erica's maid. Or did you already have this idea?"

"Please, Your Majesty, do not do this!" Liliana exclaimed in shock.

"Whether I do this or not depends entirely on your performance next." Bai Ye stretched out a hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Liliana took out a small notebook from her person and placed it in Bai Ye's hand.

Bai Ye's expression worsened rapidly after just turning the first page, and by the time he finished reading the last page, he was almost as angry as Judge Bao of Kaifeng.

"Luxury cars lead the way... Fine wine and food galore... Princesses take turns serving him in bed... A wine pool and a meat forest are built..."

"You old geezer, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I'll definitely slap these size 42 shoes on your size 37 face!" Ignoring Liliana's resistance, Bai Ye pulled her onto the Sun God Chariot, crashed through the ceiling, and flew towards the Balkan Peninsula where Marquis Voban was located.

Chapter 158 The Meeting, Marquis Voban's Purpose

Somewhere in the Balkans, there stands a palace with a generally dark style.

This is the residence of the oldest surviving god-slayer, Marquis Voban.

As the residence of the king who thoroughly embodies the magicians' title of "Demon King" for the god-slayer, this place can be considered a forbidden zone for 99.9% of magicians.

Even the magic societies that swore allegiance to him only stationed their people far away in places the Marquis could easily contact. Unless summoned by the Marquis himself, no one would want to approach such places... After all, no one could guarantee that a wolf comparable to a Grand Knight might suddenly jump out from some corner and tear you to pieces.

However, something seems to have changed today.

A brilliant sun suddenly appeared on the horizon, and amidst the curious gazes of the magicians from the magic society loyal to the marquis, it flew directly into the palace.

If you listen carefully, you can almost hear a sharp cry as the blazing sun flies overhead.

Before they could decide whether to approach the palace, Marquis Voban's voice rang in their ears: "No need to come over, this is my friend."

"..."

The people in charge exchanged glances and then fell silent.

Only the Godslayer can be friends with the Godslayer. Although they don't know which of the other six kings went in this time, since the Marquis himself has already spoken, they just need to do as he says and pretend they didn't see anything.

Only one middle-aged knight from the Bronze Black Cross looked somewhat confused...

That scream just now, it sounded like a young lady's?

It must be an illusion...

Inside the palace, watching the magicians who had gathered because of the commotion caused by Bai Ye disperse one by one, the old man snorted: "Now you should tell me why you rushed here to see me, right? According to the schedule I arranged for you, there should still be eight days left before it ends."

"You want to completely corrupt me into a cripple in eight more days?" Bai Ye pulled out the little notebook he got from Liliana and waved it around: "What exactly is in this? You can give me an explanation, right?"

“Hmm…” Marquis Voban looked at Liliana standing behind Bai Ye.

Liliana immediately understood. After apologizing to the two for being carsick, she walked out of the palace, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

With no outsiders around, the old man's serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a flirtatious look: "According to the schedule, you should have received that princess, who is considered a beauty in all of Northern Europe, by tonight. How does she compare to that little girl from the Copper Black Cross? I instructed Lilia to find you the first woman who looked as much like that girl as possible."

"..." Why are you so sure that something has happened between you and Erica before?

The two of them have such a pure relationship that they've never even held hands!

"So... what exactly are you trying to prove by going through all this trouble?" Bai Ye sighed, casually dragged over a skeleton wolf next to him, pressed it down, and then sat on it.

Marquis Voban's brow twitched violently, but he didn't react.

"This list is what I had Liliana choose—things that ordinary people, and even most magicians, would only dare to dream of. But as one of only seven kings in the world, you and I can do it with just a word. What are your thoughts?"

"You did so many inexplicable things before, even shoving a naked girl into my bed, just to prove how much power the seven of us really have?" Bai Ye was now seriously considering whether he should first explode a small sun on the spot to calm this old man down.

"Judging from your tone... Liliana has already gone to such lengths, and in the end you still haven't done anything?" The old man looked at Bai Ye strangely.

No wonder this kid reacted so strongly today, could it be... he's not good enough?

Gee!

"Stop having such a vile idea, or I can't guarantee what will happen next!"

"Alright, now that you understand what I'm trying to say, let's talk about why I've come to you." The old man crossed his legs and clasped his hands together in front of him. "You've experienced the power we wield as kings. In this world, as long as you speak, no matter how difficult the request, your subordinates will do everything in their power to fulfill it... You don't deny that, do you?"
