Ever since I became slightly famous, most people would mention my name in prefixes, such as "Damned Roland," "Bastard Roland," and "Why haven't you died yet, Roland."
It seemed that the more familiar people were with me, the more they liked to call me by these prefixes. Perhaps it was because they had deep feelings for me that they used these prefixes.
I could understand that they wanted to express their friendliness towards me by addressing me as "Roland the Wise" or "Roland the Dearest" to my face. That was why they used alternative terms like "Roland the Wise" and "Roland the Dearest".
Yep, they were just using this special method to express their deep friendship with me. They definitely didn't really have anything against me. For example, the one on my head. Although she was a bit moody, I was sure that she was just shy and shy …
"Um, that's enough. There's a limit to being shy. I know that you're very grateful to me, so don't be shy … It's bleeding again, stop biting me! Hey, did you hear me? "
"Ka-cha!" "Ka-cha!"
Why did you transform your teeth into those sharp fangs? Did you intend to cosplay as a saber-toothed tiger? That's not how you should use your transformation ability!
Alright then, let's ignore the bleeding head and the overly shy (?) young elf on my head. At the very least, I still had many other important things to do.
Beifeng wasn't lying when he told me that I wouldn't be able to leave this world for the time being, so I could only have them go back first.
Even with the newly born Earth Elemental Pillar as a converter, the newly born world would still require a large amount of earth element as its foundation. And in terms of earth element quantity and quality, no other world would be able to compare to the Earth Elemental Plane. My System's hint was quite clear. It told me to stay in this plane for the time being and not go anywhere.
After Ömdiroken died, the connection between the two planes was reestablished. A certain shameless Elemental God directly blamed Ömdiroken for the interruption of the Earth Elemental Plane, since nobody dared to ask him about it. In the end, it was likely that nothing would happen.
After the Earth Elemental Plane's connection was reestablished, I spent a lot of time just dealing with inquiries from the mortal plane.
However, the information I received made me heave a sigh of relief. The situation in the Northlands was quite good. Amelia's new crops had already been verified by Druil to be effective. They would all be sown at the beginning of next month's spring. My Knight army's reorganization was also progressing smoothly, and the Mist Alliance's contract negotiations had also begun. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction …
Of course, even if it was a good place. There was also a lot of noise.
I might as well tell the truth … I didn't spend much time on proper business. Most of my time was spent on defending against the rumors that spread faster than dimensional communication. The rumors about Prince Roland and a legendary witch had already reached the third edition. Judging from the sounds of people scratching and tearing at the wall, a certain Marchioness seemed to be quite angry. That was why she needed to calm down before she could do so. I'd better stay away for the time being … Cough cough, I'd better cultivate outside for a while.
Since the Northlands were temporarily not at war, most of the other information didn't have much to do with me. However, there was still some information that I really cared about.
"The Ottoman Empire's plan to retake their capital city has been thwarted. Rain City's surface area is continuously expanding, and a large number of Sea Tribe members have begun constructing defensive fortresses. Ancient sea monsters have even appeared to assist them. The waves and the sea level are rising day by day. The human side's situation isn't optimistic."
Although these were all frontline battles caused by the Elemental Gods' troops, the results seemed quite different. However, the outcome seems to be very different. From the news I received, the Auland Empire doesn't seem to be in a good state.
"Lady Storm actually managed to advance in rank as well? A powerful God? "
Perhaps the Sea Tribe's faith in this Guardian Goddess was even more pious, or perhaps it was the Chaos Faction's reward for those who contributed, but this Lady Storm, who was notoriously temperamental, had become even stronger in battle.
"… It seems. That's the true key to victory. If Rose hadn't been killed off by Cavendish back then, we probably wouldn't have been in such a good situation either. "
Actually, if I compared both battles, the situation was quite similar. Both battles were being fought on behalf of the Chaos Faction's True Gods. However, unlike Rose, who had died prematurely, Lady Storm had probably become a new noble of the Chaos Faction. From a certain standpoint, she was getting closer and closer to the position of Sea God that she had always dreamed of.
"Oh my, that's quite troublesome. It just so happens that my world also needs divine power and divine souls related to the sea. It seems that we'll have more opportunities to interact with each other in the future. "
Back then, we still had quite a bit of grudge against each other. In fact, my System even warned me not to get too close to the sea. Actually, Lady Storm had always been famous for being petty. Just because the Borealis was being repaired and docked at the seaside, those annoying sea monsters immediately followed Lady Storm's instructions and attacked us. Although we won that battle, our grudge was also formed.
At the time, I didn't have the time to bicker with her. But now, it seemed that I could. At the very least, the quest to collect the divine power and divine souls of the Sea Gods and sea monsters would most likely involve Lady Storm, who had the nickname of Sea Monster King.
"It's a pity that the Ottoman Empire is more concerned about its reputation than anything else. Not only did it refuse to ask for help from the various Gods' churches, it even tactfully refused the other human kingdoms' offers of help."
As a rational person, I was unable to understand why the Ottoman Empire would place such a high priority on face and dignity. But since the Ottoman Empire insisted on dealing with this matter by itself, the other countries and Gods' churches had no reason to interfere.
"What's face? Can it be eaten? — By Roland. "
I shook my head and tossed this boring topic to the back of my mind. The only other thing that slightly attracted my attention was something similar to hearsay.
"… Congratulations, Roland. Since you defeated Ömdiroken, your Calamity Rankings have increased by six ranks. You're now ranked 27th. You actually entered the top 30 so quickly."
I couldn't understand why Amelia had such an envious expression when she said this. Could it be that she felt that her ranking wasn't high enough? Was it really that good to be a humanoid Calamity Rankings? She would scare lolis just by going out, but that would be a serious crime … I seemed to have said something wrong. Naughty children were the most annoying!
"Heloise! How many times have I told you? I'm really not a lolicon! If you keep using my tone and ruining my reputation, I'll … "
That's right. The "ornament" on top of Amelia's head was the one who said such a standard tsundere declaration. However, she didn't even look at me when I threatened her. It was obvious that she had a disdainful expression of "What can you possibly do to me?"
But don't say anything. Right now, we were both suffering, so there was really no need for me to use any vicious tactics on her.
"I … I'll have you wear a student's swimsuit with cat ears and a cat tail to go to school at Karo Plaza!"
Even Heloise was frightened upon hearing this. It would seem that even she didn't expect that I would be so shameless as to actually think of such a method to threaten her.
"You … you really do have wild desires towards me. You're actually able to think of such a perverted way to play with me, and you still refuse to admit that you're a lolicon! "
Alright then, it would seem that I was making things worse. She was actually so frightened that she directly transformed into a black cat. Seeing such a rare scene, I got quite playful. I really wanted to tease her again.
"Hmph, do you think that I can't do anything to you just because you've transformed into a black cat? Have you forgotten that Beifeng is also in this dimension …"
Alright then, this name seemed to contain an infinite amount of magic. Heloise instantly transformed back into a young girl and kept shaking her head.
"Don't turn me into a cat. Lock me up together with that super pervert! As long as you don't do that, I'll listen to everything you say! That day, that day … Wuuuuu! "
It would seem that Heloise had a deep impression of what happened when she first left the underground. Now, she was actually frightened by a name to the point of self-destructing. While I had a handle on how to make her admit defeat, I couldn't help but sigh. To be able to frighten Heloise to such an extent, from a certain standpoint, the name Beifeng.Herault already had a deterrence that far surpassed his own strength.
And looking at the current Heloise, I couldn't help but sigh. The mind would affect the physical body, and the physical body would similarly affect the mind. After Heloise regained her life, she was affected by her younger physical body. Recently, she had become much more emotional, and would often do some foolish things.
This was a good thing for her. Although she had been acting foolishly quite a few times recently, at the very least, she had become more human. But right now, I could only hope that her magic skills wouldn't decline along with her physical body.
"Alright, then help me. I'm afraid that only you can deal with this matter."
I indeed needed Heloise's help, and I couldn't afford to make any mistakes. I also needed to make her do her best. Making her obediently help me had caused me to lose quite a few brain cells.
Currently, the area around the Elemental Throne, which was one of the main battlefields, had been cleared out. It had now become a forbidden area patrolled by the public security team. The reason for this was the seven Calabash Brothers who were sleeping soundly in the center of the forbidden area.
They were sprawled out on the ground, and their snores were as loud as thunder. As they were true calamities, nobody wanted to see them suddenly wake up.
Obviously, having them sleep forever would be the safest method. However, I had promised Renée that I would help her think of a way to see if I could borrow the power of these evil children of the earth.
"That's impossible. Let's not even talk about whether or not it's possible to summon them to the mortal plane, nor do we need to consider the tremendous price required to summon existences of this level. As long as they appear in the mortal plane, you'll instantly be in big trouble."
Heloise instantly rejected my insane idea of borrowing the power of the Divine Sins of the Earth. However, I was unmoved. I knew what she meant from the very start, but I had other plans.
"A complete summoning is definitely impossible, but what about a partial summoning?"
"A partial summoning? What's that? I've never heard of such a thing before. What kind of nonsense are you spouting? "
For Heloise, who had the reputation of being the "omniscient", to admit that she didn't know anything, this concept of "partial summoning" was probably an unheard of topic even in the entirety of Aichy.
"A summoning is a connection between two individuals. Either the summoning fails, or the entire body passes over. What does partial summoning mean? Only half of the body passes over? "
Every time new magical knowledge was involved, Heloise would easily get excited. This time was no different. She seemed to have forgotten her earlier displeasure as she excitedly asked me about it.
I directly nodded in response to Heloise's doubts.
"Yes, it's a partial summoning."
I ignored Heloise's astonished expression as I started explaining my goal. As I explained, Heloise's expression changed from astonishment and disbelief to helplessness.
"What an interesting plan. You're the best at such unorthodox methods. I've never seen you so serious when learning magic."
"Is it impossible?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, the success rate is indeed quite high. Let's give it a try. I'm impressed that you're able to come up with so many strange ideas. "
I nodded in satisfaction. Since Heloise said so, then the success rate was quite satisfactory.
Actually, my plan was quite simple. It didn't even require any high-level knowledge. All I needed was the most basic dimensional knowledge.
"First, I'll open up a small dimensional link that only allows its arms and other limbs to pass through. Then, I'll have Renée awaken a Divine Sin right in front of me. The awakened Divine Sin will instinctively attack everything in front of it, and the narrow dimensional link won't allow it to pass through. The only dimensional link will definitely become a channel for the Divine Sin to vent its power. In that case, the enemies on the other side of the dimensional link will naturally be attacked. Then, Renée will give the command to sleep, which will end the summoning."
The theory was quite simple, and it was quite a trick. However, it was fine as long as it was practical. Even I wasn't confident that I would be able to survive a single slap from a Divine Sin.
"I've already come up with a name — 'Behold my golden finger!'"
"Golden finger? What golden thigh? What does that mean? It doesn't fit the situation at all. "
"… Then what about Buddha's Palm and Nine Yin Divine Hooves?"
"That means that your naming talent has completely failed. It's even worse than a golden finger!"
