Volume 8: The Clever Girl and the Imperial Tool Chapter 017 Replacement
When Hephaestus saw Emiya's bright smile, her heart began to beat violently. She didn't dare to look at Emiya, so she had to change the subject, " You...what nonsense are you talking about? Take me to the imperial capital quickly."
"Okay." Emiya took a few steps forward and walked to the side of Hephaestus.
Hephaestus couldn't help but take a step back: "You, what are you doing?"
"Of course I'll take you to the imperial capital." Emiya said as a matter of course.
"You, you, you... you shouldn't need to get so close when leading people." Hephaestus retorted stutteringly.
“It wasn’t necessary before, but it is needed now.”
As Emiya spoke, he kept walking, step by step, approaching Hephaestus. Hephaestus hurriedly retreated, and every time Emiya took a step forward, she took a step back.
By the time Emiya finished speaking, she found herself backed into a corner with nowhere to retreat.
Emiya slapped the wall and gave it a wall-bang. "Look at me, Hephaestus."
Hephaestus subconsciously raised her head, her eyes met Emiya's eyes, and she couldn't help but think of what Emiya had just said, and her face turned red.
She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Emiya.
Emiya smiled secretly in his heart, as expected, Hephaestus was easy to deal with, her reaction was too innocent.
But if you think about it carefully, she was ridiculed by all the gods in heaven except Hestia because of the problem with her eyes, so it is obvious that she has never been in love.
It's not difficult to understand that he was forced into a corner by Emiya and became totally confused.
So Emiya stretched out his finger, pressed it against Hephaestus' chin, and lifted her head up.
Hephaestus looked left and right, not daring to look into Emiya's eyes. "You, you, you, what do you want to do?"
"What do you think?" Emiya asked back.
"I..." Hephaestus opened her mouth to say something, but Emiya didn't give her the chance to refuse. He just put his mouth close and kissed Hephaestus on her lips.
The relationship between the two people is already very familiar, and now it is time to break the boundaries of friends and go a step further.
Hephaestus suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Emiya in disbelief. She wanted to push Emiya away with both hands, but in Orario, gods could not use their divine power.
Although Hephaestus, without her divine power, could still swing the sledgehammer, she could not push Emiya away.
After a while, Emiya let go of Hephaestus, "Do you like it?"
"I...I don't know."
Emiya wasn't satisfied with that answer, so he kissed her again.
After a few minutes, Emiya let go of Hephaestus again, "Do you like it?"
"I……"
Emiya was also dissatisfied with this answer, so he used the same old trick again.
After a while, Emiya let go of Hephaestus, "Now, do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it, okay?" This time Hephaestus did not dare to hesitate, for fear that Emiya would be dissatisfied and kiss him again. Although this feeling was novel and she did not reject it, it was too embarrassing.
"As long as you like me." Emiya let go of Hephaestus and took her hand. "From now on, we are lovers."
When Hephaestus heard the word lover, her boiling mind was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water, and she immediately calmed down, "Lover? If I remember correctly, I am not the only lover of you, right?"
"How many I have, don't you know?" Emiya was not embarrassed at all.
"Bah, scumbag."
"Thank you for the compliment." Emiya said that only by being thick-skinned can you eat meat.
Hephaestus was completely helpless. She didn't want to let Emiya get away with it, but she had a great liking for him. "Relying on the plot to conquer the goddess is too much of a cheat."
Emiya disagreed with this said, "I didn't rely on the plot to conquer you. After all, I haven't seen your true face under the blindfold." As he said that, Emiya reached out to remove Hephaestus's blindfold, but was slapped off by Hephaestus.
"No, it will scare you." Hephaestus didn't want to take off the blindfold and show her true face to Emiya.
Emiya nodded, "Even the gods in heaven would be scared, maybe I would be scared too."
Hephaestus's face darkened.
Emiya continued, "But it doesn't matter. If you're scared the first time, watch it a second time. If you're scared the second time, watch it a third time. One day, I'll get used to it and even think it's beautiful."
Hephaestus said unhappily, "What do you mean by that?"
Emiya said softly: "It's simple. I am willing to distort my aesthetic sense for you."
These words were like an invisible arrow that easily pierced Hephaestus' heart. It was the first time she discovered that Emiya could say such touching words of love.
"Bah, scumbag."
"Well, thanks for the compliment."
Hephaestus was completely helpless and quickly changed the subject, "Let's go."
Emiya felt that the time was right and if he continued to flirt, it might backfire, so he took Hephaestus' hand and took her away from Orario and arrived at the imperial capital.
On top of the huge clock tower, a man and a god stood, overlooking the entire imperial capital.
"This city is indeed very prosperous," said Hephaestus.
Emiya quite agrees with this point. "After all, it is the thousand-year-old imperial capital. It has experienced a thousand years of ups and downs. It should have been expanded several times during this period. It is natural for it to be more prosperous."
Hephaestus asked, "Where is the plot going now?"
"I'm not sure." Emiya shook his head. "I've seen the heroine Akame in the forest before, but we didn't say much, so I'm not sure where the plot is going. But I think you care about the imperial weapon rather than the plot."
Hephaestus said: "I am just looking at which imperial tools I can get according to the plot."
Emiya chuckled, "It's not easy to get an imperial weapon. I have a way."
Hephaestus asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"Follow me." Emiya took Hephaestus and flew all the way to the imperial palace. As for where the imperial palace was, it was the most prosperous palace complex in the imperial capital.
After the two of them arrived above the imperial palace, Emiya released his domineering aura!
Boom! A horrifying shock wave swept out, and invisible pressure swept across the entire palace. Many people's brains went blank and they fainted the moment they came into contact with this oppressive force.
Even General Bud, who protects the empire, is no exception to this.
Because although General Bud is known as the strongest, his strength does not come from himself, but from the imperial weapon... Adramilek!
There are indeed some masters in the world of Zhan Mei, who can kill dangerous species even without relying on the so-called imperial tools.
For example, in the plot, when the protagonist Tatsumi first appeared, he killed a level one dangerous earth dragon with an ordinary long sword.
However, the level of these masters is quite limited, far from the level of the One Piece world.
Even General Budd, who is known as the strongest, would be at most at the level of a pirate worth tens of millions if he lost his imperial weapon. Maybe he could be comparable to the fishman Arlong?
In Emiya's eyes, masters of this level are no different from trash.
Therefore, after Emiya released his terrifying domineering aura, General Bud was immediately under unimaginable oppression and his brain went blank.
hateful……
A few seconds later, after everyone had fainted, the general reluctantly passed out.
For a moment, the entire palace was silent.
Under Hephaestus' puzzled gaze, Emiya brought Hephaestus to the main hall of the palace and found the little emperor of the country.
The little emperor was weak-willed and was knocked unconscious by Emiya's domineering aura the first moment.
Beside him, there were several maids lying in a mess.
Hephaestus turned her head and looked at Emiya, seeming to understand something, "You are not trying to force the little emperor to hand over the imperial weapon, right? This is a good thing to do."
Emiya shook his head and said, "This is too much trouble. I have a better way."
He walked over, took a drop of blood from the little emperor, analyzed it, and then used the transformation magic he learned from Loki to directly transform himself into the little emperor himself.
Hephaestus suddenly realized, "So that's what it is, you want to take over and become a little emperor."
Emiya nodded. "As long as I become the emperor, whether it's imperial tools or ministerial tools, or even all kinds of resources, it can be said that they are at my fingertips, right?"
Hephaestus thought this was a good idea, "What about the real little emperor? What are you going to do?"
Emiya looked at the little emperor who was still in a coma. What should he say about this emperor? He was not a bad person. The person he admired was his father, the late emperor. He hoped that he could live up to the title of emperor and become a great and wise ruler like his father.
Unfortunately, the minister he trusted was not a good minister, but a cunning man.
So the story of the young emperor himself was actually a tragedy. He was too deeply deceived by his ministers and indirectly led to the demise of the empire.
Although he is not a bad person, for a country, an incompetent monarch who cannot control his powerful ministers will inevitably bring great disaster to the country.
Of course, Emiya would not kill the little emperor. After all, he was just incompetent, not bad.
"Send him back to Orario first and have your family members take care of him. When this is over, send him back."
Hephaestus did not refuse, "Okay."
So, Emiya and Hephaestus sent to Orario, called a family member to take care of the little emperor for a while, and then returned to the palace.
At this time, some people had woken up from their coma and hurried to the palace hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
