Chapter 58 58. Death by Laziness
Because the candidates for the royal election had been gathered not long ago, Anastasia needed to take the royal oath, so the few of them temporarily stayed in the royal capital and waited.
Luo Er roamed among the nobles every day, setting traps for them crazily. If he was discovered, he would undoubtedly become a public enemy and be attacked by all the nobles.
But his purpose is to deceive the country, the nobles? Sprinkling water, he never tires of it.
On this day, Anastasia rarely came to see Roll, and with her were the best knight Julius and the leader of the Iron Fang Mercenary Group Ricardo.
"What happened?" Luo Er was a little surprised. He originally wanted to visit the nobleman's house.
"Something big happened in Wang Xuan." Anastasia spoke first, her tone serious.
Then Julius said, “Roswaal of Lady Emilia’s camp has eliminated the Archbishop of Sloth, a sin that has been rampant for a hundred years.”
"Destroyed by Roswaal?" Rawl asked.
"Yes, he brought the body of Sloth. Whether it is real or not, we just need to wait for a while." Julius continued.
"Really? I understand." Rawl frowned. Only five days had passed. He didn't believe that Roswaal had eliminated Sloth. There was definitely the shadow of Natsuki Subaru, but why wasn't he the one who came out? Did he enter the IF line?
"Mr. Rawl, I came to you this time hoping to use Minato's energy. Now that Emilia has eliminated the Archbishop of Sloth, the nobles who wanted to negotiate for cooperation are beginning to hesitate." Anastasia explained the purpose of this visit.
"This is for you. It's a badge that represents your identity in Watergate City." Rawl threw a badge towards Anastasia.
"Also, when Crusch heard about Emilia's achievements, he couldn't wait to conquer the White Whale. The White Whale is a real headache for merchants." Anastasia told Roll another thing.
"White Whale? Do you want to get involved in this?" Luo Er looked at the girl in front of him. Her ambition was bigger than he imagined.
"Merchants are concerned about profits, but they will not choose to sacrifice for no reason. Defeating the white whale will undoubtedly bring more benefits, both in terms of achievements and business transactions." Anastasia explained.
"What do you want to say about the chance of winning? Give up, Crusch will definitely lose, and the world will lose all trace of her." Rawl was blunt about this. Although Natsuki Subaru has no combat power at all, he plays an indispensable role in the original work. Without Natsuki Subaru, these people are just filling the gaps in the teeth of White Whale.
"It's a complete loss with no benefit. I understand, Julius. You can go and inform your friend." Anastasia looked at the man with clenched fists beside her.
“Thank you, Lady Anna.” Julius said and left.
"He can't shake Crusch's determination, right?" Roll looked at Anastasia.
“Whether you will waver or not, no one can say for sure. In business, it is impossible to make money every time you buy and sell. But if you don’t dare to try, it is even more impossible to make money.”
"Businessmen are really profit-driven. Anna, do you want to attack the White Whale?"
"Of course, with the achievement of conquering the white whale, there is no doubt that the Chamber of Commerce will make more money in the future." Anastasia expressed her thoughts.
"What role do you want me to play in this?" Rawl stared into Anastasia's eyes.
"Cooperation." Anastasia put away her smile and said very seriously. She had never defeated Rawl. In this king election, Rawl was more like an investment in her.
"Cooperation is a win-win situation, not just you winning twice, right?" Roll looked at Anastasia with a smile.
"Really?" Anastasia took Ricardo away. She needed achievements. She needed to develop the Chamber of Commerce into a behemoth, so that she could get Rawl's recognition.
Ram didn't speak until Anastasia left: "Lord Raw, did Roswaal defeat the Archbishop of Sloth?" Ram was quite concerned about this. The Archbishop of Sin, who was at the same level as Raw, was defeated by Roswaal.
"It's not him, it's the guy I met a few days ago. He calls himself Natsuki Subaru." Luo Er corrected.
"Is it him?" Ram and Rem were both a little surprised. After that clown-like self-introduction, they both remembered this young man. The most important thing was that he had no fighting ability at all.
"Of course, don't forget his ability. He can keep repeating it and piling up his life to kill the opponent. After all, there is always a chance to get enemy intelligence, right?" Rawl's expression was also a little solemn. If Natsuki Subaru walked into the arrogant IF line, he would undoubtedly be deadly powerful.
Ram obviously realized that if she had no memories and the other party kept repeating herself, she would be killed one of them. Such an ability was undoubtedly a foul level.
"Lord Luo Er, what should we do next?"
"Let's go meet that man first." Luo Er no longer had the relaxed feeling he had when he first arrived in the capital.
"Where will he be?"
"It must be near Rozvarna, and it is targeting the great sin."
"Aiming for a serious crime? Lord Rawl, you are in danger." Ram did not forget Rawl's identity.
"We have all become his target. Don't forget whose aura you have now." Luo Er was very optimistic about this.
"Sister." Rem was a little worried. She knew that Ram had a strong witch aura.
"Why is he doing this?" Ram was a little confused about Natsuki Subaru's purpose.
"Defeat all the Archbishops of Sin and attribute the credit to Emilia. With the merit of destroying the Witch Cult, won't Emilia become king?" Rawl asked Ram.
"Just for this?" Ram recalled what happened before. Emilia and Natsuki Subaru were not particularly familiar with each other. She didn't understand.
"of course."
"What a paranoid existence! Is there no normal person in the Witch Cult?" Ram thought of Roll, then Regulus, and now Natsuki Subaru. There really is no normal person.
"But maybe we can change our strategy." Rawl said to himself. After Natsuki Subaru turns the royal capital into hell, he will come to save it. This scam will undoubtedly succeed.
"Ram, Rem, go meet him next time. When you interact with him, don't talk nonsense and don't reveal your abilities. Don't talk instead of taking action." Roll reminded the twins.
"Yes, Lord Rawl," Ram and Rem replied in unison.
"Let's go." Luo Er stood up and left the villa with the two girls.
Luo Er thought back to what happened during this period. His intervention did not seem to give the other party a chance to show off and get close to Emilia. Was this what led him to the branch path? He didn't understand. In the end, he still needed to see the real person to know.
Emilia's camp defeated the Archbishop of Sloth who had been wreaking havoc for hundreds of years. This achievement was much greater than expected. The streets were filled with cheers, and the perception of Emilia as a half-elf seemed to have faded a lot.
This is undoubtedly due to the Archbishop of Sloth's numerous evil deeds, which caused his disasters to far exceed other major sins and made the Witch Cult a notorious existence.
