Should I raise you too?

After a brief moment of surprise, Elsie continued to observe.

...Elsie's strategy plan, I understand the plan, but what does strategy mean?

To conquer cities and seize territory?

The strategy guide tells me to go and defeat something.

New text appeared on the glass block, and Elsie continued reading.

"Target: Simon (Simon.jpg)"

Simon? Who is this? There's also a photo next to him, and it's in color!

Elsie examined the photograph, which was a half-length portrait of a boy with black hair and gray-blue eyes. He looked about her age and was dressed in standard gentleman's clothing.

So, this piece of glass wants me to kill the guy in the photo?

Judging from his attire, he was either in first or second class; he was easy to spot.

Haha, it's impossible to listen to the glass block. Who knows what the owner of the glass block wants to do? The best way to deal with it is to just ignore it.

Miss Elsie was enjoying the night view, seeing nothing and caring about nothing.

The text continued to appear on the light screen.

Name: Simon

Rank: 2

This boy is indeed an extraordinary being, but his rank is only 2, which is a bit weak. I'm already at rank 4!

Is this glass block indicating the other party's social status, telling me that this is an easy task?

Unfortunately, I am a criminal, but not a killer. When I commit crimes, I never listen to anyone's orders.

However, since the owner of the glass block wants to kill the other party, it means that they have some connection. In other words, by interrogating this boy, I can get information about the owner of the glass block!

Elsie rubbed her fists, and just as she lifted her foot to leave, she put it back down.

New text appeared on the glass block.

"Intelligence 1: A mysterious figure of unknown origin, from beyond this world."

Ok?

"Intelligence 2: Involved in the fall of the royal capital, possesses authority over the Soul Society."

Huh? ?

"Intelligence 3: Queen Elizabeth, the current queen of the Kingdom of Rune, has vowed to drink his blood."

Ah? ? ?

"Intelligence 4: He once rejected Alysander's advances and mocked the Mad King's figure."

no?!

Elsie took a step back, her back hitting the railing. She covered her face, feeling her brain trembling.

These four pieces of intelligence are all incredibly explosive.

What does "from outside this world" mean? Doesn't that mean it's not human?

What do you mean by being involved in the fall of the royal capital and possessing authority over the Soul Society? So you were the one who released that dense fog!

It's understandable that the new queen swore to drink his blood, after all, he almost destroyed the capital!

Rejecting Alysander is even more incredible; that mad king is a figure from a thousand years ago, meaning that guy has lived for at least a thousand years!

After reviewing all the intelligence, Elsie came to a conclusion.

This guy named Simon is an evil god wandering outside the mortal world! This boy's form is just an incarnation of him.

As for the strength of the second tier, hehe, the power of an evil god can never be measured by tier. As long as the main body outside the starry sky casts its power, the strength of the avatar will increase dramatically!

Now, this piece of glass wants me to kill an incarnation of an evil god?

Elsie wanted to ask Glass Block, "How does she seem like a master who can fight against an evil god?"

Damn it, I can't see the land anymore, I don't know where to run!

"Intelligence 5: He noticed the lingering Soul Society aura on you."

No, you shouldn't pay attention to me!

Chapter 97 The Evil God is Myself (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

To control the effect of the light screen, Simon usually places an identical one in front of him to check it regularly.

This gave Alysander a convenient advantage; the light screen was at the front, and she could see everything clearly.

"...You lied to Elizabeth like this too?" Alysander asked.

“How can you call it a lie? It’s all the truth. I even told her my rank!” Simon leaned against the railing and whispered to Alysander.

It was completely dark, and a cool evening breeze blew. Eve couldn't stand the damp air, so Simon told her to go to the restaurant and order first. Ms. Maria stood a short distance away, giving Simon some space.

"You said you possess the authority of the Soul Society... Well, are you talking about me?" Alysander realized.

Simon nodded: "What's yours is mine."

“I like that line, but I have to say it,” Alexandra sneered. “Aren’t you afraid she’ll report you to the Church of the True Gods?”

“Her moral standards aren’t that high, and I am indeed innocent. If there’s an investigation, you can hide, and I’ll go for the examination. Nothing will happen.”

"What if she really thinks you're an evil god, but you can't muster the strength you're supposed to?"

“If I'm exposed, I'll run away. Besides, who says I don't have the strength?” Simon lowered his head, looking at the pocket watch on his chest. “If I encounter anything I can't handle, I'll lend you my ‘finger bone’ and body. We'll become one, and the invincible Alysander—Simon—will solve the problem.”

"Why is your surname? What do you mean you're lending me your 'finger bone'? That's my finger bone! And why do you think I'd agree?" Alexandra asked quickly.

Simon leaned on the railing, looking down at the ship's side, pondering how to answer. The black waves surged like moving mountains.

He said, "There are many bloodlines in Augusta, but only the Scarlet and Percy lineages remember you as their ancestor and can summon you. Now, both the former and the latter hate you to the core. If you don't want to endlessly count sheep in the Soul Society, you have no choice but to stay here with me."

Are you threatening me?

“When we reach the Southern Continent, I will make you a body,” Simon offered as a bribe.

"Ha, you think I'll agree to that?"

"How about adding a monthly chat allowance as a bonus?"

“Deal,” Alysander quickly agreed. “However, be prepared that when you give me your finger bone and body, it will be the moment Alysander is reborn. Heh, I’ll also put you in my pocket watch.”

"Then we'll see whose methods are more skillful."

Simon finished the last sip of red wine and stood up. He didn't think Alexandra could achieve that goal.

Just like with Elsie, Simon also misled Alysander.

Alexandra thought that when he said 'What's yours is mine,' he was joking, but it wasn't actually true.

Simon can use the backend to break down and reassemble all of his extraordinary data, which unfortunately includes the current Alysand.

There's no need to tell Alysander about this. Like Elisa, she's a proud and assertive person, and she'll cause trouble if she's in a vulnerable position.

Simon turned around, and Maria immediately came forward, took the empty wine glass from his hand, and handed it to a waiter not far away.

They went to the first-class restaurant, where Eve had already ordered.

The Kingdom Star has four restaurants: one for first class, one for second class, one for economy class, and one for the crew. The VIP cabin is the same as the second class cabin.

The cost of the main meals is included in the cruise fare, excluding drinks and additional meals.

After finishing their meal, Simon took Eve and Maria to the first-class lounge.

This is a place for casual chats and tea drinking. The floor is carpeted, and there are sofas, a piano, bookshelves, and a card table.

Today is the first day of the voyage, and the weather is nice. Many passengers are strolling on the deck, and some smokers have gone to the smoking room. There aren't many people in the public lounge.

Simon and his two companions occupied a small card table and started playing poker.

In this era, there weren't many ways to play poker. Eve, as a maid, was encountering cards for the first time, and Maria had only played a little bit as well. Fortunately, the rules of ladies' poker were simple.

Among the ladies, the most popular game is "Old Maid," where they draw cards from other players' hands to form pairs, and the person left with only one card loses.

Simon played 'Old Maids' with them for a while, then heard laughter coming from the next table.

At the next table were four men of different ages, one of whom was wearing a captain's uniform. They didn't seem to know each other; it was a gathering of first-class gentlemen that had made a last-minute arrangement.

The captain smiled at Simon: "Hey sir, would you like to help us make up the numbers? The two ladies can go to the ladies' lounge. The two gentlemen's wives and daughters are playing over there. You'll definitely get along well."

He was helping Simon out of a predicament; in this day and age, playing the "old maid" game with women is a torment for men.

Simon didn't find it particularly agonizing. Eve and Ms. Maria were both very beautiful, but the gentlemen's betting was definitely more interesting; perhaps he could win back his ticket.

After escorting Eve and Maria to the ladies' parlor, Simon joined the gentlemen at the card table.

In "The Young Lady's Late Night Class", there is a lesson on "gambling", but Elisa's gambling level is only LV1, and Simon also only reached LV1.

No need to panic. Simon opened the data backend, extracted the experience points from "Fighting," and invested them into "Gambling."

"Fighting LV5" → "Fighting LV1"

"Gambling LV1" → "Gambling LV5"
