Chapter 390: Good brother, it's up to you next.
In front of the dragon caravan, Crusch looked towards the distant forest in confusion. Although it was far away, she could still see the power of the flames rising into the sky.
Secondly, the air seemed to become a little hotter, apparently due to the influence of the flames in the distance.
Who's fighting over there?
Crusch thought to herself, and the next moment, she suddenly recalled a sentence Xia Yu had said before.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape. Someone will take care of him..."
Muttering Xia Yu's previous words, Crusch looked at the flames in the distance again and remembered that that location seemed to be the direction where the Archbishop of Gluttony fled.
With such power, it is probably not inferior to Reinhardt.
Crusch suppressed the shock in his heart, turned his head and looked at the figure standing in front of the Archbishop of Greed not far away, curiosity flashing in his eyes.
How many secrets do you have? Xia Yu.
Xia Yu, who was still concentrating on the golden seeds, naturally had no idea what was happening outside. At this moment, under his leadership, the "greed" factor was almost gone.
Although the "greed" factor is indeed more numerous and stronger than the "laziness" factor, facing the golden seeds that seem like a bottomless pit, this witch factor is still not enough.
After dozens of seconds, the "greed" factor emanating from the corpse of the Archbishop of Greed was wiped out, and the golden seeds were now stained with some purple-black patterns.
The originally golden roots were now dyed purple-black, and the external manifestation of those witch factors was the patterns on the golden seeds.
"Phew, it's finally over."
After integrating all the "lust" factors into the golden seeds, Xia Yu pinched the golden seeds, opened his eyes, and exhaled.
I'm not tired, but if I finish a task and then breathe a sigh of relief, it always feels incomplete.
Sense of ritual, sense of ritual is the most important.
Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to have finished, although he didn't know what he was doing, Crusch still walked forward and asked curiously: "Success?"
"Yes, it worked."
Xia Yu looked at the golden seed in his hand with joy. Even if it was not integrated into the law but became a fulcrum to pry the law, it was enough.
Now it is the fulcrum. In the future, when the golden seed grows into a golden tree, it may be possible to integrate the laws into it.
Moreover, even though the golden seed is very small now, since it has the power to pry open the laws, it means it has the power to change reality.
Hmm...it's time to start thinking about the law.
What should his law be called? The Witch's Law?
No, he is not a woman. Is it called Devil's Law?
Wait, why must there be a word "magic"? He just plagiarized and could have just called it the Golden Rule.
call!
Suddenly, a figure with flaming wings on his back fell from the sky. The figure was wearing gorgeous knight armor and holding a dirty, charred figure in his hand.
Everyone was startled at first, but after Xia Yu's greeting, the nervous crowd relaxed.
This figure is the helper who went to intercept the Bishop of Gluttony, and is also the idle Xia Yu that Xia Yu found in the group.
"Then, do it yourself. I won't care."
The armored knight casually threw the half-dead Archbishop of Gluttony to Xia Yu, then walked towards Crusch.
"May I ask who you are?"
Seeing the powerful knight suddenly walking towards him, Crusch became a little nervous and immediately straightened his posture. This was the respect that should be shown to a strong man.
"Don't worry about that, let's take a photo first."
The armored knight chuckled, and his originally intimidating aura suddenly retracted, and then he took out an item that was both unfamiliar and familiar to Crusch.
It was a magic device called a mobile phone, which Xia Yu had taken out before.
"Come on, smile."
The armored knight came close to Crusch and made a "yeah" gesture. Although his expression couldn't be seen because of the helmet, he must have been smiling under the helmet.
Seeing this scene, Crusch also showed a slightly stiff smile and made an awkward gesture.
Snap!
"Not bad, not bad, another one!"
"Laughing silly... No, laugh heartily."
"Show your teeth and smile more happily."
A few minutes later, Crusch turned pale and began to doubt his life, while the armored knight next to him nodded affirmatively at the photo.
Making a serious person smile silly can really make people feel happy.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency..."
Crusch calmed down his indescribable mood and looked at the armored knight who was still nodding at the photo, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"No need to call me Your Excellency..." The armored knight put away his phone, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Just call me Ashes, I am... the helper Xia Yu found to help deal with the Bishop of Gluttony."
"Don't even think about giving me the honor of dealing with the Archbishop of Gluttony. I don't like standing in front of people. Otherwise, I would have been famous a long time ago, right?"
Hearing this, Crusch nodded. Indeed, with such strength, if he wanted fame, he would have been famous long ago.
But he had never heard of his existence. Even if Xia Yu had not asked him for help , he would not have known that there was such a hero in the world.
These things are enough to show that the other party does not seek fame and fortune.
but……
"Forgive me for not accepting this. It was clearly the Archbishop of Gluttony that was conquered by you. I simply cannot accept this kind of credit that does not belong to me with a clear conscience."
Such sincere words are enough to make people deeply feel the noble character of Kurusu.
However, in response to these sincere words, a certain Ash smiled and hugged Crusch’s shoulders.
Since both of them were wearing armor, Crusch didn't think there was anything wrong.
"That's not how it works. Let me ask you a few questions first. Think about it carefully. First of all, I'm the helper Xia Yu invited, right?"
Hearing this, Crusch thought about it for a moment and nodded to indicate that it was okay.
"Secondly, Xia Yu is your subordinate, and you are his boss, right?"
Yeah, that’s no problem, Crusch nodded again.
Seeing this, Hui Jin retracted his hand, spread his hands, and said in a relaxed tone: "That's it, isn't it? Because you are Xia Yu's boss, and you were willing to take him in when he was down and out, so he wanted to help you. Because he wanted to help you, he came to me, and that's why I went to attack the Archbishop of Gluttony."
"Delete some irrelevant processes in it. The whole logic is that you helped Xia Yu, so the Archbishop of Gluttony was conquered. From this point of view, wasn't the Archbishop of Gluttony conquered by you?"
“Is… is that so?” Crusch was a little confused. What the other party said seemed to make some sense, but it felt weird.
"Yes, that's right, so accept the honor of defeating the Archbishop of Gluttony with peace of mind!" Ashes patted Crusch's shoulder and laughed.
Anyway, he is not from this world, so it doesn't matter whether he has the honor of defeating the Archbishop of Gluttony or not.
"No... that can't be counted!"
Although he was confused by Ashes's sophistry, Crusch quickly reacted and shook his head in denial, "No matter what, the victory over the Archbishop of Sin was yours, and I cannot take credit for it!"
"What would you do if I left now?"
Ashes smiled and said, "Do you think people will believe that you defeated the Archbishop of Sin, or an unknown strong man? What's more, that strong man suddenly appeared and no one knew about him at all."
"this……"
Crusch was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Indeed, just as the knight in front of him said, the other party almost appeared out of thin air. If she announced that she had conquered the Archbishop of Sin, then people would be more willing to believe that it was she who conquered the Archbishop of Sin, rather than an unknown strong man.
"I understand your intention, but..."
Crusch showed an embarrassed expression. The other party was so selfless, but she couldn't accept his kindness with peace of mind. After all, the other party's appearance had nothing to do with her. The other party was a helper found by Xia Yu.
etc!
Crusch's eyes lit up. Since the other party was unwilling to accept the credit, then he should give it to Xia Yu...
"Xia Yu won't agree, and he's not someone who likes fame." As if seeing what Crusch was thinking, Ashes spoke directly.
"After all, no one knows Xia Yu better than me. He won't agree. Fighting against the reputation of the Archbishop of Sin means trouble, and he hates trouble."
“…”
Hearing this, Crusch smiled bitterly. She never thought that there would be a day when she would steal someone else's beauty. Obviously, this was the kind of person she despised the most.
"Don't look so sad. Since you feel guilty, just be nicer to Xia Yu." Ashes suddenly put his arms around Crusch's shoulders again, put the mouth of his helmet close to Crusch's ear and whispered.
"I'll tell you a secret. Xia Yu also has his own worries. If you really want to repay him, then just help him solve his worries."
“Hmm?” Crusch’s amber eyes showed a hint of surprise and curiosity, and he immediately nodded as if he was listening attentively.
Seeing this, Hui Jin chuckled and whispered, "Actually, Xia Yu's problem is that he is still single. He is obviously at the age of getting married, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend, so he has been depressed all the time."
“Talking about marriage?” Crusch murmured this and nodded in understanding. Indeed, it is time for men over 20 to start their own family.
"In that case, when I get back, I will find a noble lady of the right age to introduce to Xia Yu. Such an outstanding man will surely attract many women."
"Hey, why can't you understand?" Ashes suddenly shook his head and pointed at Xia Yu who was still silently using the golden seed to absorb the "gluttony" factor.
"Think about it, why did Xia Yu remain loyal to you? Even though he had become so powerful, he did not choose to leave, but stayed by your side as a single man?"
" Think about what Xia Yu has done for you, don't you understand?"
“…I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.” Crusch thought for a few seconds and shook his head in confusion.
Bang!
Ashes suddenly covered his face with his palms, and because of the armor, the helmet made a crisp sound.
"Tsk, today I finally saw the ultimate form of wood... It's simply the pinnacle of dullness."
After mumbling something casually, Hui Jin simply stopped keeping the secret and said directly: "Xia Yu likes you, he likes you, he has a crush on you. If he denies it, he is shy. If he deliberately stays away from you, he is also shy. Even if he says very seriously that he doesn't like you, it's all because he is shy."
"If you really want to repay him, then respond to this feeling. Remember, he likes you!"
After saying this in one breath, Ashes let out a breath. He really cared about his good brother's happiness.
When she was suddenly told that someone liked her, Crusch was unable to react at once. The last time she knew that someone liked her was several years ago when she was still a child.
It's just that she didn't notice that feeling at that time, and now, she seems not to notice it either.
Crusch looked at Xia Yu with increasingly complicated eyes. No wonder the other party was still willing to stay by her side even though he possessed such powerful strength.
Feelings are really unpredictable.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Xia Yu, who was integrating the witch factor into the golden seed, opened his eyes. The "gluttony" factor had been completely integrated.
The pattern on the golden seed deepened again. Even though the golden seed had not sprouted yet, Xia Yu could change part of reality through the golden seed.
It's another big step forward towards consolidating one's own laws.
Xia Yu, holding the golden seed, showed joy on his face, and Crusch also walked over.
"Congratulations."
Just by looking at her expression, Crusch understood that Xia Yu had succeeded again. Although she didn't know what it was, she was willing to be happy for her.
"Haha, it's still early." Xia Yu smiled and put away the golden seeds. He had only obtained the witch genes of three archbishops of sin, but not any real witches. It was indeed still early.
Looking at Xia Yu's happy smile, Kurushi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and suddenly said: "Although I have never thought about getting along with you from a woman's perspective, I have to admit that you are indeed an excellent man."
"ah?"
"Because I have lofty ideals in my heart, I cannot respond to your feelings for the time being..."
At this point, Crusch smiled and said openly: "If you still don't change your mind when my dream is fulfilled, I will change back into women's clothes and respond to your feelings as a woman."
“…”
Faced with Kurusu's sincere words, Xia Yu did not answer , but suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Ashes.
Noticing Xia Yu's gaze, Huijin stretched out his fist and his thumb popped out. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was conveyed.
Good brother, I have helped you meet the prerequisites, now it’s up to you.
“…”
“…”
"I'll be away for a while."
Xia Yu said something to Crusch, and walked towards the ashes with a trembling body.
Ashes seemed to have guessed Xia Yu's reaction. A pair of flaming wings suddenly condensed behind him, and he disappeared from the spot as he flapped his wings.
Seeing this, Xia Yu's eyes fixed. Crusch, who was behind Xia Yu, only felt the ground suddenly shake, and a howling wind surged in front of her.
When the strong wind died down, she realized that Xia Yu, who was originally a few steps ahead of her, had completely disappeared.
Where Xia Yu originally stood, the ground was deeply sunken, and in the center of the sunken area, there was a deep footprint.
