Chapter 941 Mission: Impossible
Just as the Monster Kingdom was holding another meeting because of the dispatch of Hinata and the Paladins, Yuuki Kagurazaka was standing respectfully in front of an old man.
The old man was wearing baggy pure white clothes, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he exuded a sense of oppression that should not be underestimated, but... there was a cute girl who looked like a doll sitting on his lap.
She has smooth blonde hair, pink lips, is gentle and lovely, and looks about ten years old.
The combination of the old and the young brought a full sense of contrast, but Kagurazaka Yuuki showed no sign of surprise, and said: "As expected of Lord Granbell, you easily let Hinata go to the Demonic Federation."
Granbell Rosso, one of the five elders who hold the reins in the West, is also the leader of the Western heroes 'Seven Masters of the Stars', a former hero who surrendered to Luminas, and the most powerful man in the West.
Earlier, when Youshu realized that the situation was not good, he turned to this old man because the old man had the same desire to dominate the world as he did.
"Hinata has never gotten over the trauma of her childhood, so she is easily biased." Granbell commented calmly, "But her words alone are far from enough to eliminate those monsters."
Yuuki lowered his head: "You summoned me here, is there anything you need me to do?"
"Ah, you have to participate in this operation too, because they are also your enemies, right?" Granbell said in a low voice: "If you are included, our chances of winning will be greatly increased."
Yuuki was startled, as if in trouble: "Are you sure my involvement is not causing trouble? Not only does Rimuru want to find me, but Hinata must also know that I used her to deal with Rimuru last time. I'm afraid she will draw her sword the first time she sees me."
"No, you have different goals." Granbell said: "According to the information I have obtained, the skill merchants Ji Xing and Shivana have been staying in the Monster Town for some time. The merchants who used to train warriors for humans have now clearly shown their inclinations and will become our great enemies.
No need, you probably can't kill him, but at least you have to tie him up, use Domini, and prevent him and the dragon girl from participating in the battle between Hinata and the Demon Lord Rimuru.
I believe you can do it, Yuuki. If you can't do it alone, then bring more people, such as... the Demon Lord Kazaream's people."
Yuuki had a bitter look on his face. He didn’t know who had leaked the news of the Demon King’s Banquet, and now everyone would put him and Kazaream together. Although that was the case, Yuuki was still distressed by the fact that his trump card was widely spread.
Moreover, Granbell in front of him did not give him any room to refuse.
"I understand, Lord Grambell."
"Well, let's go."
After sending Yuuki away, Granbell lovingly patted the girl's head in his arms: "Is this okay, Marianbell?"
"Very good, great, Grandpa." The girl smiled adorably, "This way we can probably get rid of Hinata."
Yes, it was not to get rid of Demon King Rimuru, but to get rid of Hyuga. If you ask why, it is probably because Hyuga, as the Right Hand of God, is too strong and blocks their way more directly than Rimuru.
"We can also find out the details of the combat power of the skill merchant Ji Xing." Granbell said, "See if we can bring him under our control."
"It will definitely work, Grandpa." Marian Bell smiled and said, "Summoners like Hinata who foolishly want to save the world are just exceptions, and there are more people like Yuuki Kagurazaka or the Demon King Rimuru.
A person who dreams of ruling the world, a person who is using the economic means learned from our world to control the world, the skilled businessman Ji Xing cannot be a person without desires. As long as he has desires, he will definitely be controlled by us. "
Marian Bell is a reincarnated person who was reincarnated into the Rozo family as a baby and gained the trust of Gran Bell.
Because she has a powerful unique skill that she brought with her when she was reincarnated - 'Greedy'.
As long as there is greed, she will control you.
Just like Yuuki Kagurazaka now, he seems to still have his own thoughts, but in fact... he is no longer able to resist her orders!
……
"What a terrible skill, it's eroding my mind all the time. If I didn't have the ability to block it, I would have been controlled by that girl long ago." Returning to his private territory, Yuuki Kagurazaka sat down on the soft sofa and sighed a little tiredly.
"Thank you for your hard work." The tall and beautiful woman dressed as a secretary next to him said, "What did the old man ask you to do?"
Yuuki shrugged, "Just as expected."
"Skill merchant?" Cagalli murmured softly: "This is a dangerous job. I think many people may underestimate that human. But the Flame Dragon King under him, with the advantage of race, may be stronger than me at my peak. He can only become stronger, not weaker.
Unless you show your true abilities and expose everything to others, you will have a chance to win."
Secretary Cagalli, former vice president of the Freedom Guild, is none other than the former Demon Lord Kazaream!
Yuuki used his own skills and android technology to give him this body, which not only shed his original ugly appearance, but also became exceptionally beautiful, making it impossible for anyone to tell the connection between the two.
"He is indeed a dangerous target. I don't want to go against him." Yuuki nodded.
"But if you don't follow the old man's orders, and you pretend to be controlled..."
"I have been prepared for this. The current situation is worth revealing some of our cards."
As Yuuki finished speaking, there was a knock on the door and a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a slightly sturdy figure walked in.
He looked somewhat helpless: "Boss, how did the situation take a turn for the worse?"
"Damrada?" Cagalli asked in surprise. "Is the situation serious enough to expose him? That's right... Clayman's situation is unclear, and all our plans have collapsed. We have become rats crossing the street. There is no point in the Big Three hiding any longer."
The Big Three refers to three people who are well-known in the underground society of the Eastern Empire and the leaders of the dark forces of the Empire. The one in front of him is the world's largest arms smuggler, 'Golden Damrad', but few people in the world know that the Big Three have long been under Yuuki's command.
"You really need to make a trip." Yuuki nodded to him and said, "Skills are also weapons. As a weapons merchant, it is reasonable for you to find an opportunity to visit that skill merchant.
This operation will be somewhat dangerous, but I will support you in secret. If the situation goes wrong, just focus on protecting yourself, Damrada."
Damrad asked, “What are the details?”
So two and a half days later, Dominy, who was heading to the Demon Federation with his deputy, ran into Damrada in the wild.
He asked with a wary look on his face: "Who are you?"
Damrada did not respond as planned. He stared at Dominy's adjutant 'Silian' and was absent-minded for a while as if he was stunned by her beauty. He did not come back to his senses until Dominy's somewhat dissatisfied voice came again.
"People call me 'Golden Damrad', a weapons dealer. I heard from Master Qi Yao that you were heading to the Demonic Federation to meet the legendary weapons dealer, so I came here to work with you. I have long wanted to make friends with him, but I never had the chance... Please forgive me if I am being presumptuous."
Gold Damrad? Dominy's intelligence reserves were still insufficient, and he had never heard of it, but he felt that the guy in front of him was indeed quite presumptuous.
It was just that the name of Master Qi Yao prevented him from expressing his dissatisfaction, because he had just received crucial information from the other party - Hinata's real target of this trip was not the Demon King Rimuru, but Ji Xing who was helping the Demon King. Compared with the Demon King, human traitors must be eliminated more.
In his eyes, although they had only met briefly, Ji Xing had changed his life. Hinata was also his benefactor who helped him when he wanted to end everything after his revenge. He could not accept any accident if any of the two benefactors happened.
Therefore, when he finally left the Holy Empire, he traveled day and night, determined to reach the Demon Federation before Hinata and others and stop the battle.
He didn't want to delay his trip because of this guy in front of him: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. If you want to meet Mr. Ji Xing, please go by yourself."
"No, no, no, it was Master Qiyao who asked me to come and help. You know the temper of Saint Hinata. She will not change her decision. You will need an 'outsider' like me."
Dominic was a little hesitant when he heard this, not knowing whether he should believe the man in front of him. At this time, Xilian spoke up: "Lord Dominic, we don't have time to waste. If this man has the ability to catch up, let him follow behind."
Dominy hesitated for a moment, then agreed, thinking that this man didn't look like an expert and that he should be able to get rid of him quickly. As a result, Damrada didn't seem tired at all and followed behind him until he was tired.
……
On the other hand, there was another person who received news from Master Qiyao, the Paladin of Light, Hinata's adjutant, Leonard.
But the content of the information he received was completely different from what Domini got - Hinata was not going there to defeat the Demon King, but to collude with the Demon King Rimuru and work together.
As Hinata's lieutenant and Hinata's 'crazy fan', he would never believe such a thing, but some strange details made him a little suspicious.
Is it possible... that Lord Hinata was manipulated by the Demon King Rimuru? And if the worst outcome came, Reynard was determined to kill Hinata himself!
With this thought in mind, he led nearly a hundred elite paladins to the Demonic Federation.
Hinata didn't know the situation in these two places. She was not aware of any turmoil behind the scenes. She had just met up with the four paladins who were chasing her, entered the small town near the Jura Forest, and ate a bowl of tonkotsu ramen recommended by Rimuru.
Her goal is to talk to Rimuru first. If she cannot communicate, she will choose to fight, even if it means sacrificing herself for the stability of the world.
"Let's rest here for one night. We will enter the territory of the Demonic Federation tomorrow."
……
"We should be faster than Hinata-sama."
In the wild, Dominy panted tiredly, looked at Damrada in surprise, and said, "It may be dangerous to enter the Jura Forest at night. We are so tired that we may even do more harm than good. Let's rest here for a night."
Xilian also agreed with a tired look on her face.
They caught two wild rabbits and roasted them for food, then set up a simple camp. Damrad was tactful enough not to stay in the camp, but rested against a big tree.
As the night deepened, Domini fell asleep, but Silence and Velgrind quietly came to Damrada's side and said, "I didn't expect that the person Kondo pointed out to help me was you."
“I didn’t get any orders, Marshal.” Damrada looked helpless. He was neither afraid nor respectful to Velgrind. He even sat on the ground and spread his hands and said, “It was not until I saw you that some memories in my mind were unlocked. I was really shocked.
It seems that Kondo is very serious this time, and has taken Yuuki's reaction into account. His Majesty is also very serious, not only did he ask you to come in person, but he also tacitly agreed that I would also participate in this operation."
"Yuuki? Is that the summoner boy you were 'following'? He seems to think highly of and trust you, and is following us from a distance."
Damrada shook his head. “He’s a good kid, but he’s just a little unlucky. Compared to your majesty back then, he’s also lacking something.”
He put Yuuki and Rudra together in his comments, and Velgrind only frowned, but was not annoyed. Because Damrada's true identity was the former chancellor of the Eastern Empire, one of Rudra's friends, and a confidant ranked 02nd among the Imperial Guards, a saint with the title of Fist Saint!
“You know the mission this time, Damrada,” Velgrynd confirmed.
“Maybe I’m going to cover you until you ‘catch’ the skill merchant Ji Xing?” Damrada sighed sadly. “If that happens… I’m afraid I won’t be able to hide anymore!”
I’m a bit stuck, surviving on 3k6 a day.
