In the Holy Magic Kingdom, within the Royal Palace, the Elf King and the King sat across from each other.
"The Hero has been successfully summoned. According to the agreement, this time the Hero should belong to the Elf Race, right?" The Elf King's piece landed on the chessboard, looking at the King with a smile.
"Indeed, he should belong to you, but if the Hero happens to have other thoughts, we should respect him, right? After all, the Kingdom's secret medicine is running low, eat!" The King captured the Elf King's piece.
"I believe in Ani's abilities. She is the most endearing girl, my most satisfactory daughter, and will be the next Elf King, eat!" The Elf King captured the King's piece but accidentally dropped the piece to the ground while putting it in the box.
"According to the Kingdom's rules, you've lost this game." The King pointed to the fallen piece, smiling.
He seemed to be talking about this chess game, or perhaps something else entirely.
...
"The seal of the former Hero was not perfect; by the sixth year the aura of the Evil God could no longer be contained, polluting the surrounding flora and fauna into Demon Beasts."
"Therefore, our former Hero Squad devised another method, transferring and suppressing the Evil God using the remnants of the Holy Sword, reinforcing the original seal with multiple layers, bringing the situation under control."
"But even a small leakage of the aura completely polluted the eastern forest. Now the whole eastern defense line has fallen, the army was swallowed by the surging horde of Demon Beasts. We must return to the Royal Capital as quickly as possible to request reinforcements."
The Elf Maiden continuously explained the world situation, while Xue Dili analyzed the information, noticing that he was not stopping her, she became more daring in her actions.
"It's my fault, damn it, my sealing wasn't done properly. It was just supposed to be temporary, and then I was going to call for reinforcements from headquarters... The entire eastern forest has fallen? The human territory has shrunk again, my fault..."
Before Xue Dili could speak, Uncle Brave started to berate himself again, seemingly wanting to take all responsibility on himself, making him feel a bit better. This nice-guy trait of his gave Xue Dili a headache.
"I need to ask, where was the seal of the Evil God transferred to?" Xue Dili looked at the Elf Maiden, asking for the most critical information.
"Uh, hehe!" The Elf giggled, scratching the back of her head, saying, "I don't know, you see, I was only responsible for the first half of the transfer, the latter part was handled by Cattelan, oh, the former Hero's wife."
Xue Dili rubbed his temples in frustration, looking at the notes given by the Elf, which could be said to be utterly useless, with little valuable information and likely false.
"So my task is simply to kill the Evil God directly?" Xue Dili asked the hundred-year-old Elf, who was still fidgeting, quietly pulling out the hand she had tucked into her bosom.
"That's not possible. The seal of the Evil God can still hold for now. The priority is to clear the eastern forest of Demon Beasts and disasters. Also, your power as a Hero isn't up to par; we need to form a new Hero Squad for you and provide you with special training." The Elf Maiden almost glued herself to Xue Dili, not even pretending anymore.
Xue Dili ignored her, closing his eyes silently as he leaned against the bumpy carriage.
In his Consciousness Space, he was passionately arguing with Uncle Brave.
"It's risen, A Xue, your thoughts are too extreme. Ani's Power of Love towards you has now risen to the peak of Tier One, almost breaking through to Tier Two. She must truly be in love with you, trust me." Uncle Brave said continuously, looking at the feedback from the Beloved Holy Sword.
He seemed really eager to pair up Xue Dili with this hundred-year-old Elf.
No, he probably wanted to pair Xue Dili with any woman, as long as Xue Dili could draw his Beloved Holy Sword.
"Then why don't they just use the beacon you left behind? You must have taught them how to use it?" Xue Dili retorted sarcastically.
Uncle Brave immediately went silent, as he had indeed taught the other members of the Hero Squad how to use the beacon, meaning all of the world's disasters could be solved with it alone.
However... he just couldn't understand why Kaiya and the others hadn't used it...
And according to the Young Ladies conducting the summoning ceremony, for the past decade, the Kingdom had been continuously using the "Summoning of the Brave" Technique, without cessation, only succeeding in summoning Xue Dili today.
Xue Dili did not blame Uncle Brave; many dark realities could not be witnessed in his world. At this moment, he was like an elderly man scammed, unable to believe the reality, since his whole life had been spent here, if it was just a scam, then his life would be a joke.
Thus, even if it was false, he could only believe it to be true, otherwise, he would be too pathetic.
But with the current information, he might have understood the world's methods.
The old Undead taught him how to use power, the Great Sage taught him how to gather, organize, and analyze intelligence, converting all informational advantages into his victory.
Now, he just needed to find that transferred seal of the Evil God, and he could begin taking action.
"Uncle, let's make a bet." Xue Dili went to the console and opened the "Prophetic Module" given to him by the Great Sage.
It had the function of directly watching "history" to gain intelligence, provided by the Ancient Greece Prophecy Witch, but with significant side effects, he didn't plan to use it now, but only after gathering enough intelligence, when searching for the Evil God.
"About what?"
"It's simple, I bet that once we reach the Royal Capital, this Elf will try every means to confirm a relationship with me, whether it be the King's marriage decree or some miracle, she'll bind herself to me like you and your 'lover'." Xue Dili said.
In Uncle Brave's memories, he was hooked by the female Mage on the second day, and by the third, they were engaged fiancés by law.
"Then the second step, she will try by any means to get into my bed." Xue Dili held up two fingers, "Whether it's a night attack, drugs, or some method I couldn't anticipate, those are all methods to achieve her goals."
Uncle Brave was stunned, this scene felt intensely familiar to him.
"And the third step, she'll bear my child, at which point the location of the Evil God's seal will suddenly be discovered, so we'll head out together to deal with the Evil God."
Xue Dili laughed, extending his fingers to four: "Fourth step, she'll return to the Kingdom with her pregnancy, while the Hero perishes in battle with the Evil God."
As Xue Dili spoke each step, Uncle Brave took a step back.
"What would their purpose be in doing all this? They must have a reason, right?" Uncle Brave seemingly wanted one last struggle.
"Purpose? You've stayed in this world, their purpose is everything about you!" He wanted to demonstrate to the naive Uncle Brave the true face of this world with facts.
"Let's bet, and whoever loses has to drink an entire can of soda in one go!" Xue Dili smiled, pointing to the soda on the ground.
