Female Knight Simulator, I am full of righteousness!

Island Nation: 35. Embrace, Feel the Heartbeat [Two-in-One]

Loria couldn't say for sure whether Charles was a superhuman genius sent from heaven to the Oder Empire, but at least for now, Charles was dozens of times stronger than the imperial noble group centered around the emperor.

During the few days she was away from the town, Charles and his supporters successfully controlled the military forces in the town and its surrounding areas, and through the use of force, restored order to the town, which had been somewhat chaotic.

Moreover, in order to quickly unite the loose forces within the empire, he spent four days handling government affairs while personally visiting those who had great influence in the army.

This was an extremely exhausting task, and he was often berated in his efforts to persuade people to cooperate.

But there's nothing we can do.

If it weren't for the hidden leader as an external enemy, and that eerie power that could devour everything, he could have easily mobilized his loyal army to slowly eliminate those who refused to submit, keeping the new government "clean." But now he has no choice but to accept this compromise with its own consequences.

Regardless of whether the empire can regain its greatness in the future, the most urgent task is to ensure the empire's survival.

"Relying solely on a large army is not enough for us to defeat the Hidden Leader. To completely defeat these madmen, we must kill their leader."

Charles was clear-headed; the sudden power he gained did not cloud his judgment.

He skillfully described the terrain of the capital to the attendees and shared his battle plan.

After the lengthy analysis, he added, "This plan was based on our past knowledge. Unfortunately, after the loss of the capital, our intelligence personnel dared not approach the capital because of that red island in the sky, so we are not clear about how much the capital has changed."

Plans are flexible, not rigid; they must be adjusted according to the situation.

"Let's tentatively schedule the counterattack for three days from now."

Three days later, on June 28nd.

Loria secretly noted down the time.

She really hoped time could drag on a little longer so she could continue to increase her stamina using the simulator.

Unfortunately, the ever-expanding crimson island didn't give her that chance; if she continued to drag it out, she would be swallowed up by the island.

"Besides simulating as much as possible, is there anything else I can do?"

After leaving the venue, Loria returned to her residence with a heavy heart.

Her trump cards were all written on her identity card. If there was anything that could be considered an exception, it would only be the gods who were eyeing her.

The goddess of dawn, wind, and sky—this is her "old friend."

Thanks to the goddess's care, she has been able to defeat strong enemies repeatedly recently.

If she could, she would love to get closer to this goddess. Of course, it would be great if the goddess could lend her an indestructible clone.

She definitely won't do anything reckless; at most, she'll just touch you.

Pleasure, debauchery, and the goddess of the dark moon—this goddess is shrouded in mystery.

What she represents perfectly aligns with Loria's identity, yet her name is almost entirely absent from various documents and legends, making it difficult for Loria to determine which side she truly stands on.

Maybe she doesn't stand anywhere; she's just a simple person who enjoys having fun.

"Am I your only believer in this world? If you don't help me and just watch me get killed by that Weaver, won't your conscience hurt?"

Loria muttered a few words.

The goddess of madness and indulgence seems to be a madman, and this madman hates her, hoping she'll be like an old man who hangs herself—tired of living.

"I'd be grateful if she didn't come after me."

The demon from the Ruins is even worse. While the goddess of madness and indulgence would at least use unrestrained physical desires to deceive her followers before reaping lives, this demon didn't bother with pretense and just forcibly took the target's body right away.

Loria frowned slightly: "If it suddenly comes out and causes trouble when we get close to that seal, that would be troublesome."

If only there were a way to get rid of this restless demon before we even enter the capital.

Loria didn't expect to be able to slay a god, after all, she was just a B-rank adventurer, and hadn't even touched the pinnacle of this world, let alone explored things beyond it.

"and many more."

Suddenly, she remembered something she had never looked at properly since she got it.

That was the magic of returning to the void that she obtained during the completion of the special event [Lost Ritual II].

Feeling that the item was completely useless to her, she threw the book containing the magic into her inventory after claiming the event reward.

The so-called magic of returning to the void probably refers to magic that can send things back to the "void".

So, can this magic send that demon back?

Loria thought it should be possible.

Because the Lost Ritual series of events was closely related to that demon.

If this magic is completely useless, there's no need for the simulator to send her to find it.

"Give it a try."

Loria quickly retrieved the book from her inventory.

Then, after flipping through it and glancing at it a few times, she was dumbfounded.

What kind of nonsense is written in this book?

She recognized most of the characters, but when these characters were combined with strange symbols, they were like gibberish to her.

It seems the only option is to consult a professional.

Loria's first thought was of Miss Fat Sheep.

Miss Fat Sheep may seem unreliable, but that's only because she lacks combat experience. However, when it comes to magical theory, she is actually quite skilled, coming from a prestigious family.

Miss Fat Sheep has never failed in casting spells, making her far more skilled than Doris.

"and many more."

Loria, who had just stepped out with her right foot, pulled it back.

Thinking about it carefully, this matter is quite dangerous. What if Miss Fat Sheep is accidentally murdered by that devil?

Although she hadn't yet spoken openly with Miss Fat Sheep, in her eyes, Miss Fat Sheep was already extraordinary.

"Let's try a simulation first; maybe we can get the result from it?"

Loria quickly opened the simulator.

With the final battle against the Hidden Leader imminent, there's no point in keeping all the money she has; she might as well invest it all in the simulator.

After pressing the start button, Loria focused intently on the simulation.

In the simulation, she went directly to Miss Fat Sheep and asked her to interpret the magic of the Void Return.

As she expected, Miss Fat Sheep understood the contents of the book and said that she could replicate the magic circle.

"First do this, then do that, and finally take a drop of your blood and spread it evenly in the center of the magic circle."

The Void Return Magic was successfully activated.

However, things did not go as Loria had anticipated.

The demons did not appear, nor did the magic clear the path to the ruins; but in that instant, something strange suddenly happened.

[You find the world before you beginning to crumble and disintegrate, like a shattered mirror. The plump woman standing before you is cut into more than a dozen pieces, but it's not bloody at all; instead, it feels surreal.]

[After continuous decomposition, you discover that Miss Fat Sheep's face has become exactly like the Chairman's; the next second, Miss Fat Sheep's hand has transformed into Vita's hand.]

"Huh? I've never used it, so how could I tell that Miss Fat Sheep's hands turned into Vita's hands?"

But now is not the time to dwell on such things.

The simulated world is collapsing more and more violently. Not only is the fat sheep standing in front of her becoming fragmented, but the ground she is standing on is also undergoing bizarre changes as it trembles violently.

Loria was sometimes standing on a high mountain, sometimes appearing in lava, sometimes walking upside down in the sky, and sometimes seeing cows flying into the sky.

The world is constantly breaking down and rebuilding, reassembling into bizarre forms that only exist in works of art and dreams.

This process lasted for a full hour.

You open your eyes and find the world has finally returned to peace. It's as if you've woken from a long dream. At this moment, Miss Fat Sheep is telling you that she needs your blood to activate the magic.

"what?"

Loria stared blankly at the text displayed on the simulator.

What do you mean?

Does this mean everything was reset directly in this simulation?

She had never encountered anything like this in previous simulations. Was it because this simulation directly touched upon the Ruins?

Too many problems were piling up in front of Loria.

She dared not try it in reality, and could only start a new simulation immediately after hastily ending this one to conduct a second verification.

The result was no different from before. Considering that this simulation could not obtain more attribute points, she could only suppress her doubts for the time being and focus her energy on obtaining attribute points.

The attribute she urgently needs right now is stamina.

It's obviously impossible to raise your stamina to 500 points in three days, but as long as you find the right direction, raising your base stamina to 350 points is not difficult.

For the first time, Loria set her sights on the goddess.

She certainly didn't intend to do anything to the goddess; she just wanted the goddess to be a witness, such as placing a statue of the goddess next to her when she was being affectionate with other people.

It has to be said that this move was surprisingly effective, as it immediately increased her stamina by 3 points.

"make persistent efforts!"

This time, Loria simply threw a party in front of the goddess statue, even using it as a support pillar, which instantly cost her 4 points of stamina.

In other words, she didn't know what the Dark Moon Goddess looked like, otherwise she would have at least made a statue of the Dark Moon Goddess and placed it next to the statue of the goddess.

Loria has the potential to be a scumbag. After using the goddess, she simply threw her aside and started researching new ways to seduce her.

Due to time constraints and the pressure of the situation, she couldn't come up with many fancy tricks for the time being.

Given the current situation, it's unrealistic to deliberately lure a group of monster girls to attack her in a relentless battle, and simply visiting brothels won't increase her stats at all.

She could only deliberately push herself into a dangerous situation.

For example, even though he knew the president was nearby, he deliberately clung to Miss Fat Sheep, arousing her desire.

For example, even though he knew the president was nearby, he deliberately dragged Vita to take a bath, and then touched her inappropriately while bathing, saying that he had liked Vita for a long time.

The plan is perfect.
