Knocking her unconscious and bringing her back was just a thought in Fangzheng's mind. Of course he couldn't really do that to Fina. Otherwise, wouldn't it make him look guilty?
But as for how to solve this problem ….
"Sigh …."
Looking at Fina, Fangzheng sighed.
It's like a child without a mother. It's a long story ….
"In fact, I'll have to start with this sword of mine."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out the pitch-black sword in his hand. Fina also looked at the sword curiously.
"What's wrong with this sword …?"
"In fact, Miss Fina, this sword is a magical weapon I accidentally obtained when I was out on an adventure. Back then, just like you, I accidentally went to a small town called Yanan, and there …."
As he spoke, Fangzheng told Fina about his experience in the Yanan world. Of course, as for the Ancient Gods and whatnot, he directly changed his appearance. As for the cultists …. Fangzheng didn't even need to change them. Their methods were basically no different from the cultists in the Overworld.
According to Fangzheng's description, a group of cultists in Yanan were trying to unseal a sealed Chaos Aberration. Fangzheng was on his way there, and when he saw the injustice, he pulled out his sword and slaughtered the cultists. After that, he and some local people went to the location of the cultists in an attempt to stop their plan.
However, things changed quickly. Although Fangzheng and his party successfully killed the leader of the cultists after putting in a lot of effort, the seal was still unsealed by the cultists before they died. And this sword was, in fact, the imprint that sealed the Chaos Aberration.
At that critical juncture, one of their companions stepped forward and sacrificed himself to fuse his soul with the sword. Then, Fangzheng used the sword to destroy the Chaos monster and seal its remaining power …
Fangzheng had written this kind of story many times before, so he was naturally very familiar with it. Fina was stunned, and even Kuang San, Hu Tao, and the others were dumbfounded. As for Lestia, who was residing in the greatsword, she could not say anything other than "...".
"Come out, Lestia."
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Fangzheng called out to the sword. In response to Fangzheng's call, Lestia sighed helplessly. Then, everyone saw a flash of light, and the next moment, a figure appeared behind Fangzheng.
"With this, you should be able to understand … Miss Fina?"
Looking at the surprised Fina, Fangzheng smiled and tried to persuade her. But soon, he noticed that Fina's eyes were wide open and her cheeks were flushed. Hu Tao let out a cry and covered her eyes. As for Kuang Three, he just stood there with a smile on his face, looking behind him with a thoughtful expression.
What's wrong? All he did was call Lestia out to scare them. Did something go wrong?
While Fangzheng was in a daze, he suddenly saw a pair of snow-white arms stretch out from behind him and hug him gently.
"At your command, Master …"
"Lestia, you … F * ck you!"
Fangzheng turned around and saw Lestia hovering behind him. Fangzheng almost cursed out loud. He finally understood why Fina and Hu Tao had such expressions on their faces!
Lestia usually wore a black lace dress, but unlike Aster, she didn't wear knee socks. She didn't seem to be particularly obsessed with it either. Fangzheng initially thought it was some kind of quirk of the sword spirit, but now it seemed that it was simply Aster's own problem.
But now, Lestia, who had appeared behind him, was completely naked!
F * ck, Lestia, are you kidding me?!
Especially now that Lestia was wearing an expression full of affection, like a lovesick ghost who was obsessed with a scholar. Coupled with the story Fangzheng had told him before, even without Fangzheng saying anything, anyone with a little common sense would be able to come up with a story about how the two fell in love with each other over the course of their adventure. In the end, Lestia sacrificed her life to help her lover. Then, she leaned on her weapon and flew away together with Fangzheng …
"Mr. Fangzheng …"
Well, not to mention anything else, just looking at Fei Na's teary eyes, he knew that she must have overthought it.
"… In short, that's it."
Fangzheng wasn't a fool. He immediately understood that the reason Lestia had done so was probably because she wasn't happy that he had casually fabricated her background and even wrote her 'dead.' Therefore, she had come to tease him. But what else could Fangzheng do? He had done this to death, so he had to finish it even with tears in his eyes ….
"I understand!"
This time, without waiting for Fangzheng to say anything, Fina nodded vigorously.
"I won't ask any more questions, Mr. Fangzheng. I hope you can be happy!"
"No, that's …."
I really didn't mean it like that ….
Although the ending was a little speechless, Fangzheng still managed to get away with it. He had achieved his goal. As for what to do next …. Fina said that she would return to the Temple and report what happened here to the higher-ups of the Temple. Stealing the divine power of the Goddess was a very serious matter, and the Temple had to investigate it. Although according to the Nimf, this was only a failed product, who knew if someone else had successfully constructed a similar ritual somewhere else?
What if they created a group of demigod cultists?
But on second thought, what if they were planning to artificially create an evil god?
Hmm …. Considering the fact that even the lunatics in Yananli wanted an artificially created ancient god, Fangzheng felt that the possibility was quite high ….
During this period, Fina also invited Fangzheng to go with her, but Fangzheng still declined Fina's invitation. His relationship with the Temple was a little awkward. To be honest, Fangzheng also felt that he had offended the Temple. He had attended two Temple banquets in a row, and then two incidents happened in a row. If he went to the Temple again, and the Temple held another banquet for him ….
Forget about it.
After that, Fangzheng and his party bid farewell to Fina. Originally, Fangzheng planned to leave with Kuang San and the others, but to Fangzheng's surprise, Hu Tao pulled him back. After a moment of hesitation, she made a small request that surprised Fangzheng.
"… You want to form a mercenary group here?"
"Yeah."
Hu Tao nodded excitedly when she heard Fangzheng's question.
"This trip with Brother Fangzheng and you made me feel that this world is too exciting. I want to stay here for a while longer! I want to form a mercenary group, just like in the animated games …. "
Looking at the excited Hu Tao, Fangzheng facepalmed. He had forgotten that Hu Tao was also a gaming geek. For her, this was no different from crossing over to another world. There were all kinds of mercenary groups in Japanese light novels, games, and animes. Hu Tao was obviously envious of this. She planned to learn from those protagonists and form a mercenary group.
"But …."
"I also think that Hu Tao's proposal is good."
While Fangzheng was hesitating, Kuang San spoke up.
"Mr. Fangzheng, you've said before that the Tendo Temple has a deep relationship with the Overworld, but we don't have a smooth intelligence channel in the Overworld. I think that by building such a mercenary group, we can use another identity to better gather information about this world and use it as our own intelligence channel. "
"What you said makes sense."
Hearing Kuang San's words, Fangzheng nodded. Although he could use the "Untold Stories" to investigate, he must have a goal. Otherwise, how would he know which piece of information was useful in the Overworld?
Although the communication with the Temple was smooth, Fangzheng couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't hide some information due to certain considerations. Besides, the two sides were different organizations. It would be foolish to entrust one's own intelligence information to another organization.
"It's decided then."
In the end, Fangzheng agreed to Hu Tao's request.
