Beatrice's Gospel

Half a day later, Fang Li and his group finally returned to the Roswaal mansion.

Ram was the one who greeted Fang Li.

As the only person left in the mansion, Ram brought three pieces of news to Fang Li and his group.

First of all, as Rem said before, Roswaal is not here.

It's not that I haven't come back.

After the Royal Selection was announced, Roswaal returned to the mansion once.

However, upon returning, Roswaal immediately gave Ram an order.

"I will be going out for a while, and it may take a while. During this time, all matters in the manor will be decided by Emilia, and you must obey Emilia's orders completely."

After leaving this order, Roswaal left immediately, not staying at the mansion for more than an hour.

Perhaps this Jester Court Mage truly believed that Fang Li was dangerous under the current circumstances, and thus chose to keep Fang Li distance?

Emilia was somewhat surprised by this, but she didn't say anything and silently accepted the responsibility.

Fang Li seemed completely indifferent, as if he didn't care about Roswaal's affairs at all, which made Ram feel somewhat dissatisfied.

This is the first message.

The second piece of news is as follows.

"Due to the invasion of the Witch Cult, the people of the nearby territories have been somewhat frightened. This includes the fact that Demon Beast suddenly emerged from the forest and engaged in battle with the Witch Cult members. These facts have caused panic to some extent. We hope that Emilia, as the lord's representative, can go and appease them."

This is a very difficult thing.

Emilia is a silver-haired Half-Elf.

This alone could not only fail to appease the people, but could also trigger a higher level of panic, or even make them realize that the Witch Cult attacked the territory of Mezas Territory because of Emilia.

At that time, the people's dissatisfaction and fear will surely be vented on Emilia.

Therefore, for Emilia, this was undoubtedly a very difficult thing.

However, this time, Emilia made such a statement with a firm expression, as if she were not going to back down.

"In any case, this is an obstacle I must overcome. If I want to become king, I will definitely have to face more problems like this in the future. So even now, I have to deal with these problems."

In light of this, Emilia, accompanied by Rem, left Roswaal's mansion once again and headed to a nearby territory to begin her own battle.

With such awareness, Fang Li had no reason to follow suit.

So Fang Li chose to stay.

The third message happened to be addressed to Fang Li.

"That ' Beast Tamer ' has left, but left you a letter."

With that, Ram handed the letter that Meli had left to Fang Li.

It was called a letter, but it had neither an envelope nor any extra words; it was just a message.

"They've already completed the task you assigned them. According to our deal, they can leave now. Big brother, you're not allowed to chase after them."

Upon seeing this message, Fang Li pursed his lips and crumpled the letter in his hand.

Originally, Fang Li had no personal grudges against Meli; it was merely a transactional relationship that happened by chance.

Fang Li's initial idea in leaving Meli at the mansion was to prevent attacks from the Witch Cult and to find out the location of the Witch Cult in order to complete his mission, rather than to protect the people of Mezas Territory.

Although this is the outcome, since the matter has been resolved, Fang Li naturally has nothing to complain about.

Since Meli has left, let her go.

After all, Fang Li will also have to leave soon.

Leave this world.

"It's disappointing that you're still alive."

In the Forbidden Library filled with bookshelves, Fang Li had just opened the door and walked in when Beatrice, sitting on a chair, immediately uttered this sentence.

Without looking up or glancing at Fang Li, Beatrice held a book in her hands as always, slowly turning the pages.

Looking at Beatrice like this, Fang Li spoke softly.

"It seems you are well aware of exactly what happened to me during my time in the Royal Capital."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately asked whether Fang Li was still alive.

"He's clearly a shut-in who never leaves the house."

Fang Li's words made Beatrice close the book in her hand, finally look up, and look at Fang Li with great displeasure, saying, "Even if Betty doesn't go out, she can guess what happened."

"Guess?" Fang Li smiled noncommittally.

Beatrice certainly couldn't figure out what had happened just by guessing.

Perhaps Fang Li's experiences in the Royal Capital were recorded to some extent in the book that Beatrice had?

That Gospel.

That's right.

Beatrice also had the Gospel.

Beatrice had muttered this to herself when Fang Li first broke into the Forbidden Library and used his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to kill Beatrice's magic.

"Is this what they mean by ' the One Who Can Kill All '?"

— "The One Who Can Kill All."

This is a description of the Fang Li in Roswaal's Gospel.

But Beatrice knew about this as well.

This is enough to prove that Beatrice also had the Gospel in her possession.

It's not surprising that he's Great Spirit who manages the Forbidden Library of Roswaal's mansion.

Since even Roswaal possessed the Gospel, it's not surprising that Beatrice, who managed the Forbidden Library, also had Gospel.

Of course, the Gospel are not something that's readily available everywhere.

As a degraded version of the Book of Wisdom, there are only these two Gospel in total.

One of them is in Roswaal's hands.

One of them was in Beatrice's hands.

However, Fang Li knew that the members of the Witch Cult also possessed a scripture called "Gospel".

However, whether it is the same Gospel as Roswaal and Beatrice is debatable.

"Regardless, you have indeed fulfilled the contract with me," Fang Li said to Beatrice. "I'm here to thank you."

"Betty doesn't need your thanks." Beatrice said, her expression still displeased. "Betty just had a whim."

"On a whim?" Fang Li replied casually, "Then let's just say that."

Seeing Fang Li's nonchalant attitude, Beatrice's expression grew increasingly displeased.

Is that all you wanted to say?

Beatrice snorted and began to see the guests out.

"Then hurry up and get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li did not go out immediately as Beatrice had suggested, but instead gazed at the elven girl.

A hint of regret gradually surfaced in his eyes.
