Chapter 320

"Yes," Belldandy said. "You just need to tell me his location."

"I will grant you one wish."

"Except for the Goddess who will always be by my side!"

Chapter 359 SU, Where Are You?

SU?

Charles the Great seemed to have sobered up.

The Lady of the Lake's real name should be SU, and this man called 'Lady of the Lake' is still alive today. King Arthur is searching for this Lady of the Lake, though such matters cannot be considered state secrets.

But Humphrey certainly didn't take it seriously.

He wouldn't do anything that wasn't profitable for him, regardless of whose order it was. Even if it were King Arthur's, he wouldn't be eager to do it.

As for King Arthur asking about this in the future, he'll have plenty of excuses. That young girl, who probably doesn't quite understand modern civil service, will most likely be completely bewildered by Humphrey.

He had put in a lot of effort to figure out the strange slang used by civil servants.

Only...

Even if it's not a secret, does it have to be common knowledge? Or did it get known by other organizations so quickly?

When will those guys at MI6 start keeping things a little more secret?

"This is..." Charles the Great carefully examined the young girl in front of him and then asked, "Does this mean Schicksal? Or does Otto want to know about SU through you?"

"I think..." Belldandy was about to say that she and Otto had no relationship.

But then she thought again, people are all driven by self-interest. She might have a special ability to grant someone's wish, but that didn't mean others believed she possessed that special ability.

Unless someone is standing behind this.

"You don't need to ask so many questions." Belldandy suddenly changed the subject, saying in a way that was both implied and stated directly, "I have no connection with Otto, and I am not acting on some Schicksal. This is my personal action, and it is not a secret operation at all."

Belldandy deliberately emphasized the words 'Otto,' 'Schicksal,' and 'secret,' as if to stress them out.

Charles the Great immediately understood.

"It's just a deal. I can offer you whatever you want," Belldandy said gently, with a hint of playfulness. "You only need to give me a tiny bit of information."

"One wish," Charles the Great said, touching his wine glass. "Can I wish for anything?"

"Theoretically, it is indeed possible to grant any wish," Belldandy said. "But as you know, there is a difference between theory and reality. I can grant any wish but I will not grant any wish. As I just said, it is definitely impossible for you to have a wish like mine."

"But... if it's about becoming the world's richest person, achieving immortality, and ruling the world," Belldandy explained, "Then those things are still not a problem."

"But..." Belldandy gestured, "You have to pay a price for this kind of wish; it's an extra price."

"In summary, you can achieve some more realistic but also more costly desires."

"Instead of daydreaming."

"For example?" Charles the Great asked tentatively.

"To become king," Belldandy said. "To return to the throne and become the King of the Britain Empire. To continue to enjoy the riches and honor of royalty and the reverence of the people."

"No~" Charles the Great rejected the idea without hesitation, a decision so swift that it surprised Belldandy a little. Through their brief interaction, she knew that Charles the Great wasn't someone who craved power.

Moreover, the king is not a position of power; he looks more like a refined monkey.

He was high and mighty, but his actual job was to demonstrate hospitality, stamp documents, and present medals. Moreover, he didn't have the power to make decisions or judgments regarding these tasks; he simply followed instructions given to him by others.

That's why Charles the Great doesn't want to go back to that throne, to be a monkey being trained by monkey trainers called Parliament, civil servants, and politicians.

"Then what do you want?" Belldandy asked, somewhat surprised. "The Holy Sword?"

"I want to become Valkyrie!" Charles the Great said earnestly.

"Pfft..." Belldandy almost spat out her drink. This... this Charles the Great... she hadn't expected this wish.

"Okay~" Belldandy said with a slightly stiff smile, "If this is your wish, I can grant it."

This wish...

"Alright, may I ask?" Belldandy finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to become Valkyrie?"

"Oh~ this~" Charles the Great said with a nostalgic look, "This story starts with my mother. I remember I was just a child back then, and I had absolutely no idea about Valkyrie or anything like that..."

"NO! STOP!" Belldandy shouted instantly.

Please don't make random and irrelevant comments! What kind of Japanese action-packed anime or American heartwarming movie have you stumbled upon?

"Please keep it short," Belldandy said. "Don't try to recall anything, thank you. If it takes a long time to explain why, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Actually, it's quite simple." Charles the Great looked at his wine glass, unsure whether he was disappointed by the lack of wine or by the fact that he hadn't finished reminiscing. He said with disappointment, "I only discovered it when I tried to pull out King Arthur's sword. The reason why King Arthur is revered by thousands and celebrated to this day is not because she could pull out the Holy Sword, but because she had the ability to protect her people."

"My mother is too," Charles the Great said, "Because she has the ability to protect this country and its people."

"After being a puppet in that position for ten years, I finally understood this principle."

"If nothing can be done," Charles the Great said, "Then sitting in that position won't change anything. I'll just be a puppet watching the country get worse and worse. The person in that position who should be stepping on the brakes is stepping on the accelerator instead."

"So you want to change all of this?" Belldandy suddenly felt a little bit of goodwill towards this Charles the Great.

She originally thought that Charles the Great was just a vampire who only knew how to enjoy himself.

It seems this person genuinely wants to do something for their country, even though they don't like the Britain. However, a king willing to sacrifice for his country and think of his people certainly deserves respect.

"At least I have to change myself first," Charles the Great said. "You've seen it yourself. If I'm still an old, frail man, I can't do anything."

"So you really have this method?"

"As long as this deal is completed," Belldandy said confidently, "I can do it."

The Goddess's power makes it very easy for her to accomplish this.

"Great~ So how do I get in touch?" Charles the Great said, "If I get the information from them."

"This is my business card," Belldandy said, pulling out a small, transparent card. "If you get any information, just call me using the number on this card."

"Oh, a business card." Charles the Great had just taken the business card and hadn't even had a chance to read the name on it properly when he felt the person next to him suddenly pull him even tighter. Then came the words, "Hey~ Your Majesty, tell us about King Arthur."

At this time, in the Hyperion.

"What?" Otto said in surprise, "You mean my lovely Kallen is missing?"

"Yes," Rita said. "We received news from England today that Kallen escaped by jumping out of a window, and they are searching for Kallen with all their might. But so far, they haven't found anything."

"Furthermore, they sent us some protests regarding Lady Kallen's escape through the window..."

"Protest?" Otto asked, even more surprised. "Protest what?"

"They think we did it on their behalf," Rita replied.

"P..." Otto almost blurted it out. These Britain really know how to shift the blame. What does this have to do with them? It's true that he pushed for Kallen to become queen, but the main reason is that you Britain yourself think it's a good idea.

Otto simply wanted Kallen to stay put in Britain and stop causing trouble.

She doesn't need to worry about the Xuanyuan Sword anymore.

But now Kallen has not only run away, she's even trying to pin the blame on him.

"Never mind." Otto didn't intend to comment. He had nothing to say to Britain unless he could swear a little.

"What about the people we've planted in London?" Otto asked again.

"Not found," Rita said, shrugging. "Kallen hasn't been found yet."

"How could this be?" Otto said. "Did she appear in a different form? Our people should all know my lovely Kallen ... No, you should have sent out photos of her in a few other forms, shouldn't you?"

"Yes," Rita said. "I've already made the arrangements, Lord Otto."

"And what was the result?" Otto asked, crossing his legs with obvious relief.

"Nothing was gained." Rita said it again.

"What?" Otto couldn't hold back any longer and said, "How could we have come up empty-handed?! How could such a big, living person come up empty-handed?"

"Indeed, we've found nothing," Rita said. "Lord Otto, all our intelligence personnel have been mobilized. According to our reports Kallen disappeared shortly after leaving Buckingham."

"It's indeed impossible to find now."

"How..." Otto said, "No..."

Otto was fairly clear about the capabilities of his men. Besides, Kallen wasn't exactly good at hiding her true abilities, so how did she just disappear like that?

"Is there such a possibility?" Rita saw Rita Otto in thought about this matter.

"Speak," Otto commanded directly.

"It's possible that Lady Kallen still exists," Rita said. "We don't know, and there's no record of her being included at the moment?"

"If she has such a posture, then it will be very difficult for us to find her."

"That's a possibility," Otto said, not denying Rita's idea.

But if that's the case, then who should I arrange to go find Kallen?

What does this new stance look like?

It really doesn't give us any reason to look forward to it.

Chapter 360 Goddess of Fate

Otto didn't want Kallen to have any more of a pose.

The more postures one adopts, the more shattered the soul is, and the more other souls have mixed in.

Souls are extremely difficult to purify, and the more souls mixed in, the more difficult the purification becomes. Kallen's reappearance is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, but the more other forms she takes, the more soul fragments Otto needs to collect.

The greater the difficulty in completely reviving Kallen, the harder it becomes.

Therefore, Otto least wants Kallen to have any other forms, as these forms are already making him feel somewhat troubled.

The more you have, the more difficult it becomes.

The best course of action now is to find Kallen as soon as possible and figure out exactly how many poses she has.

And what about Kallen at this time?

Or rather, what is Belldandy doing? She is singing to a withered tree.

This is Hyde Park, a major and popular park in London, covering more than 360 acres. It has a long history and is also a place where the Queen holds her special events.

King Arthur had just ascended the throne, perhaps because she did not inherit it in the traditional sense but rather returned as a king.

So she didn't hold any grand celebration, which disappointed many of the merchants in Britain. Traditionally, shouldn't there have been some kind of event? Britain would have been bustling with people and numerous guests.

They can also make a good profit from these activities.

But King Arthur hasn't held any events, at least not yet. This has certainly disappointed many businesses, though it can't really be called disappointment. They've already prepared everything; if the Queen doesn't hold events, they will.

Is there any holiday in the world that merchants can't celebrate?

If you don't have one, you can just make one up.

So Hyde Park is now packed with people.

Belldandy was singing to a tree there, quickly attracted the attention of a group of people, not only because of Belldandy unusual and strange outfit, but also because of Belldandy sweet singing voice.

Belldandy sang for a short while before stopping.

Of course, it wasn't because of the people next to her that she was stage-frightened.

She didn't care about the onlookers; she was more focused on the tree in front of her.

"How can there be no change?" Belldandy looked at the tree in confusion and muttered to herself, "This shouldn't be the case. According to Belldandy's abilities, shouldn't this tree be alive?"

Belldandy's abilities.

This Belldandy is not the real Belldandy, it's just Li Pu got the Belldandy character.

Li Pu didn't know why she still had this feeling that the character was from an ancient anime. She didn't even think that this character should appear in the gacha pool.

Because Belldandy's character is familiar as a 'god'.

Li Pu was certainly familiar with this character, as Belldandy was one of the first characters he encountered in the anime "My Goddess." This anime also held a special significance for him.
