"It's... really different from last night."
Liliana said with a blushing face.
Why mention last night?
"Probably because I became a man."
Kaido laughed between his teeth with playfulness.
The meaning of his words was instantly understood by the two women, and different expressions appeared on their faces.
"Hehe..."
Kaido shook his head with a smile, knowing that this was due to his contact with the witch Raziel.
Having been contaminated by a legendary witch from a multiverse, for whom even worlds were just active words on paper, it would have been a big problem if he hadn't changed, right?
After a pleasant meal with Erica and Liliana, Kaido suddenly received a letter from the East.
After opening the decorated wrapping to reveal the envelope inside, Kaido looked at the signature.
Luo Cuilian, Matriarch of the Sacred Cult of the Five Mountains.
The note said: "Only for the eyes of the younger brother."
As he unfolded the Xuan paper, the delicate writing on the soft surface met his eyes.
A quick glance showed that the general content expressed her great praise and congratulations for Kaido's successful assassination of two Heretic Gods and his discipline of Marquis Voban.
Marquis Voban and Matriarch Luo Hao already had a deep-seated grudge, and since he had unintentionally dealt with Voban, it naturally brought great honor to his older sister.
Kaido twisted the corner of his mouth; his "cheap" older sister was truly ancient.
Not only did she speak in obscure classical Chinese, but she also wrote with a brush.
But it was quite beautiful.
Of course, apart from the usual expression of a older sister's longing for her younger brother, she subtly mentioned that she would soon be traveling to the island nation of the Far East for some business.
"Is that a letter from Matriarch Luo Hao?"
Erica asked softly.
Although she was now considered half the lady of the house, she didn't casually look at the letter.
The girl's expression was a bit curious; neither Liliana nor she knew what had happened on Mount Lu that day. In her opinion, it was simply impossible to become sisters with such a cruel demon, right?
"Yes, just a fairly common congratulatory letter. She also said she'll be visiting the Eleventh District in a few days."
"Are you going to the Eleventh District? Is there something there that interests the Matriarch?"
Erica looked up in surprise, her large blue eyes staring intently at the very calm Kaido.
It was well-known that Matriarch Luo Hao not only was a recluse but also had a great aversion to modern technology. Lu Yinghua had been beaten almost to death for trying to persuade Luo Hao to come out.
Moreover, it had been several years since she last left Mount Lu.
Her sudden decision to travel abroad was truly suspicious.
"Erica, have you forgotten about the Rinnoji Temple?"
Liliana placed the freshly made green tea next to Kaido's table, reminding him.
"Rinnoji Temple? Is it still about that matter?"
The Literary Knight's reminder brought back memories of what had happened to Erica a few years ago.
The legend said that a Heretic God was sealed somewhere in the Eleventh District, and after Matriarch Luo Hao found out, she immediately set out for the Eleventh District and caused a great commotion there, but ultimately didn't achieve her goal and didn't have the details very clear.
"By the way, Liliana, how are the preparations I asked you to make coming along?"
Kaido didn't continue talking, but asked about another matter.
"If you're referring to the God Invocation Ritual, the location and necessary materials are prepared, but the sacred relic and the miko for the ritual, however..."
Liliana didn't have the courage to continue. When she was first summoned, Kaido had entrusted her with this task.
However, after so much time, the two most important elements were still not ready.
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. If you want to punish me, please do so."
Liliana knelt on one knee, and her voice sounded bitter.
"Don't be so bitter, Liliana, it's not your fault." Kaido smiled with helplessness; Liliana's sincerity made him feel both helpless and amused. "Even Voban had several years to prepare. It's very good that you've come this far."
"Rather, I was too impatient. But I heard that, when you were young, another miko was captured with you and survived. She seems to be living in the Eleventh District as well."
"Ah... yes, although I was young back then, she was indeed an excellent miko!"
Liliana was startled for a moment, then responded unconsciously.
"Perfect. Prepare the plane. In a few days, we'll go, bring that miko, and incidentally, play for two days."
"Yes."
Liliana and Erica said in unison.
Outside, the sky had imperceptibly darkened.
The night sky was dotted with stars, a simple beauty.
Kaido reclined in a beach chair placed on the deck of the oil tanker, drinking juice and contemplating.
Knowing parts of the original plot, he was very aware that the main reason for Luo Hao's trip to the Eleventh District was the Heretic God sealed in the Xitian Palace.
As Erica had said, the purpose of Luo Hao's commotion in the Eleventh District a few years ago was also related to the Heretic God, but ultimately, she didn't achieve her goal and had to leave in resentment.
However, Luo Hao didn't give up; instead, she had been ordering people to find a way to break the seal of the Xitian Palace.
And the reason Luo Hao was so dedicated was because the Heretic God sealed in the island nation was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, famous throughout China and even the world!
Although he didn't know why it was sealed, Luo Hao's statement: "A worthy Chinese Heretic God, sealed by a simple island nation, what kind of decorum is that?" was enough.
Even if Kaido refused to recognize that the Monkey King of the God Slayer was his childhood idol, at least he bore the name, and being sealed would be one thing, but if it was the island nation that sealed the Monkey King, then that was intolerable.
Therefore, this time, when going to the Eleventh District, he would also help Luo Hao break the seal of the Xitian Palace and release the Monkey King from within.
As for what would happen during the process, that wasn't something he alone could control.
"And that old man hiding in the Underworld, if he dares to come out, I'll kill him too."
Just as Kaido was contemplating his next plan, his phone rang.
As a modern person, he undoubtedly needed such a convenient communication tool.
However, Kaido didn't have many phone numbers saved. Erica was one, Liliana was another, and of course, Princess Alice, who lived in England.
The caller ID was precisely the former president of the Council of Sages, the "White Princess" with whom Kaido had had "zero-distance" contact.
Upon answering, Alice's elegant and humble voice was heard immediately.
"Your Majesty, first of all, I must offer you my sincerest congratulations and gratitude for defeating Marquis Voban."
"I'll accept the congratulations, but what's the point of gratitude?" Kaido asked.
"Imagine if you, the King, had failed, given Marquis Voban's personality, he would have definitely kidnapped me by force, the witch with the greatest magical talent in all of Europe, to perform a God Invocation Ritual then."
Alice explained with a laugh.
"Just thinking about being kidnapped by an old man to do such things, a sickly and beautiful girl like me couldn't do anything but tremble in bed all day."
Kaido immediately heard Alice's complaining voice again and couldn't help but twist the corner of his mouth.
This woman was really taking advantage and still pretending to be innocent.
"If you're really grateful, then come and serve me to my satisfaction with that mature body of yours, how about it?"
After graduating as a mage, she could now say some things naturally.
"Huh? How did the King know I was coming to Italy to serve you?"
Alice said, feigning surprise.
"Are you coming?"
Kaido had only said it casually, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Of course, I'm at London Airport right now. I should be able to see you in about two and a half hours.
Against Kaido's surprise, Alice's response was quite serene.
And this decisive speed also left Kaido speechless.
This clearly meant acting first and reporting later.
Since Alice had recovered her normal physical strength, even her personality had become much more lively than before.
Could this be the legendary "traveling a thousand miles to deliver something"?
However, Kaido had no reason to reject Alice's arrival. On the contrary, as the most dazzling White Princess in all of Europe, her appearance and figure were not inferior to Erica's.
Only a fool would reject the company of such a beauty.
Probably you found out that Luo Hao sent me a letter, right?
Kaido thought for a moment and then understood why Alice had come to see him suddenly.
As a member of the Council of Sages in Greenwich, England, most of the world's intelligence flowed through their channels.
Moreover, Luo Hao's act of sending someone with a letter didn't particularly hide her actions, so it would be easy to discover with a little care.
I wasn't snooping around the King in secret, you know? It was just a coincidence... a coincidence, hehe...
Having understood her reason, Princess Alice didn't feel even a little uncomfortable, simply laughing and joking.
In fact, Alice knew as soon as the disciple of the Sacred Cult of the Five Prisons entered Italy.
With her meticulous mind, she quickly guessed that it must be a message from Luo Hao.
By connecting it with matters worthy of Matriarch Luo Hao's attention, it was easy to suppose that it was probably related to the Heretic God sealed in the Eleventh District.
Moreover, since Kaido was her sworn brother, the probability of him being invited as well was high.
Princess Alice didn't have any special purpose in particular; her main thought was simply to go out and travel, and it would be even better if she had company on the way.
Kaido didn't intend to blame her for this matter, simply smiling and saying: "Since you've come, can I assume you're prepared to offer yourself?"
"Of course, it would be an honor for me to be favored by you, but as a girl, I still prefer to be treated with more gentleness by a man."
Alice sighed inwardly, but she didn't feel much aversion to the idea; she only hoped that her male companion could leave her a pleasant memory of her first experience.
Ever since Kaido had treated her body by force, Princess Alice had thought that this day would come.
Her beauty alone was enough to captivate most men in the world.
If Kaido had forced her to submit but never had those thoughts, Alice would wonder if there was something wrong with him.
Why did she suddenly feel a sense of relief?
Alice murmured to herself.
"Then come as soon as possible. You can still take my flight tomorrow."
Kaido laughed between his teeth and hung up the phone.
Asia, Eleventh District, Tokyo.
In the southwestern part of the Taito district, Tokyo, Eleventh District, there was a quite famous special zone.
Akihabara.
This place was originally a black market in Japan specializing in various electronic products, but with the development of times, under the wave of increasing popularity of computers and the Internet, the original "Electric Town" gradually became a well-known "Holy Land of Anime and Manga" for a small group of people.
As is well-known, the Japanese anime industry is quite developed, exporting countless ACG cultures annually, and many countries have created a creature called an "otaku". The consumption by these otakus has accelerated the development of Akihabara.
The climate in Akihabara was warm and pleasant, the temperature was neither cold nor hot, the sky was filled with cumulus clouds, and the ears were filled with the bustling clamor of human voices.
