Chapter 175 【0173】 Goodbye Sarah
Lacus was in a better mood than ever before.
Although she cheated in passing the Nagakabouros Trial in a strict sense - the last beach was clearly made by Kalya - and therefore did not receive much of Nagakabouros's divine power, her purpose in participating in the Trial was not simply for divine power.
For Lacus, what was more important than divine power itself was how to control it and how to face the gods.
This time, she finally had the answer.
"Hey, Kalya, have you been planning this for a long time?" Lacus mischievously left the temple of the Snake Mother, and said to Kalya with his hand on the hilt of the sword, "Besides, did you deliberately let me get some of Nagakabouros's power?"
"Our little Lacus is much smarter this time." Kalya said with relief, "Before I deciphered it, you understood the second purpose."
"Is it to climb Mount Targon?" Lacus ignored Kalya's ridicule, "You seem to be full of hostility towards them from the beginning..."
"This can't be considered hostility." Kalya said in a helpless tone, "At most it can be considered hatred."
"..."
Hearing Kalya mention the word "hatred", even though his tone was still as calm as usual, Lacus still felt a little uneasy.
"You've told me a lot of stories." After a moment's silence, Lux finally spoke, "But you rarely talked to me about the Titans."
"Because there's nothing to say." Kalya pondered for a moment, "It was obviously the self-reliant mortals who struggled to survive, but the Titans sent down oracles to usurp the results, exchanged divine power, and gained the worship of Shurima... The historical stories themselves are not important, what's important is the warnings and lessons it gives us."
"So what's the lesson you learned?"
"Power always has a price." Kalya thought for a while and gave a vague answer, "And forced choices often mean drinking poison to quench thirst."
These two painful lessons made Lux silent.
"Don't be sad, you see I've let it go." Kalya then laughed, "To be honest, I was also in pain over my past failures, but as time went by, as long as I didn't stop thinking, I could figure these problems out - and don't I have you now?"
"And me?"
"Yes." Kalya said with relief, "Although your magic level is the worst I've ever taught...but you're doing well in other aspects."
"What are some details?"
"Well, it's about the choice of path, willpower and so on." Kalya tried hard to organize his words, "Although sometimes he's silly, he's always a good kid."
"Hahahaha, Kalya, you don't know how to praise people at all! "Lux smiled with her eyes curved, and then stretched her body, "You won't be liked like this!"
"Darkin never need to be liked." Kalya said indifferently, "Besides, even before becoming a Darkin, I never cared about popularity - I'm not Miss Laxana who is loved by everyone~"
"Ahhhhh, shut up, don't use such a strange name!"
"What's wrong, my dear Miss Laxana?"
"Call me Lux!"
"Okay, Laxana, no problem, Laxana!"
"..."
"..."
……………………
While talking and laughing, Lux returned to Rat Town and entered a tavern.
Playing is playing, making noise is making noise, after experiencing the trial of Ornn, Lux is really hungry now - perhaps because the blessing of divine power is different from before, she feels that she can even eat a cow at this time.
Once again, a shadow was created in front of her face. Lux found a corner to sit down and ordered a set meal for two.
One person's portion was not enough.
However, after the set meal was served, a familiar slender figure came uninvited and sat opposite Lux.
"Miss Shadow, how did you know I was coming?" Sarah Doom took the knife and fork as if she were an old friend, "and ordered one for me... But you may not know that I don't like sardines."
"If you don't like it, put it down." Lux tore off a large piece of bread, dipped it in the thick soup, and then stuffed it into her mouth, "That's what I prepared for myself."
"It seems that our Miss Shadow is starving." Sarah put down the tableware after hearing this, snapped her fingers and asked the waiter to serve her another portion, "Why, the Snake Mother's Temple doesn't provide meals now?"
"With meals?" Lux, who was wolfing down, was stunned for a moment, "Why is there a meal?"
"On the missionary day, those who are willing to listen to the Snake Mother All the people who teach can have a good meal in the temple." Sarah leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs, "Why, you didn't know?"
"Oh, today is not a missionary day." Lux shook her head, "Besides, I have to leave quickly - if I walk slowly, I'm afraid that Ms. Illaoi will make trouble for me."
"You offended Illaoi?" Sarah was a little confused, "Her... you dare to offend her?"
"I just told her the truth and told her that it's not beautiful to eat a mango whole." Lux continued to gobble up, "Since you pay so much attention to me, you should know that I went to see Gangplank before going to the temple, right?"
"I know." Sarah nodded, "This is why I came to you."
After the failure of the last verbal confrontation, Sarah reflected on herself later - although she still didn't know the identity of the shadow lady, she was sure that the other party didn't seem to have any ill will towards her.
So, when she met Lux again, she simply chose to speak directly without beating around the bush.
"You went to find Gangplank, but didn't bring back the ship mark."
"Yes, the golden siren didn't spend it, and even made a profit." Lux took off the bag around her waist and put it on the table, "Gangplank was generous for once."
Gangplank was generous for once?
Even though Sarah made many assumptions and preparations, she still found that she couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking and absurd reality.
"Anyway, you should want to cause trouble for Gangplank, right?" While Sarah was stunned, Lux ate another large piece of bread, "Then can you tell me about your subsequent plans?"
"Subsequent plans?"
"It's about where Bilgewater should go without the Pirate King." Lux explained, "I don't mind replacing him, I'm more interested in the later part - let me hear your plan."
"...No plan." Sarah shook her head and said frankly, "I'm just an Avenger who hopes to see Gangplank sink into hell, that's all."
Karliya's Little Class · Lovers:
Gangplank and Illaoi were once lovers, but Illaoi, who pursued divinity, later dumped Gangplank - according to her words, who can choose a stinky man between divinity and men?
But...this doesn't mean that there is no love between them.
There will be updates in the evening, and the work and rest schedule is really the ultimate hell.
