This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 422 - 344: Taking Freeloading to the Extreme
CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 344: TAKING FREELOADING TO THE EXTREME
Undead and Holy!
How on earth can these two attributes be combined?
Not only are the dark elf and Emily puzzled, even Lilith seems a bit troubled.
"Lette, it seems you’ve created something pretty explosive!"
Jenny rubbed her temples: "As you all know, I grew up in the Truth Workshop, an organization formed by those alchemists who are survivors of the Tower of Truth.
Honestly, I’ve seen my fair share of outrageous things since I was a child.
But I’ve never seen something this outrageous before!"
Lette rubbed his nose: "Does it matter to you? Just tell me, wasn’t I successful?
A brand-new high-grade holy undead species! It has all the advantages of an undead and none of the drawbacks!
It can even counteract undead!
Just imagine, deploying such a Holy Flame Skeleton army on the Nether Beach!
What would be the result?"
Lilith sneered: "Throwing this thing onto the Nether Beach?
Then you probably wouldn’t even need to fight; many undead-type evil gods would collapse in divinity just by looking at it, their divine foundation crumbling, their divines shattering."
Emily suddenly leaned over, tugging at Lette’s sleeve, and asked in a low voice.
"Lette, Lette, I have something to ask you."
"What?"
"Um, do you think a conceptual level strongman could have more than one concept?"
Lette’s expression suddenly turned odd, even somewhat tense.
"Why... are you asking this?"
"I was just thinking, you mentioned before.
You’re not one hundred percent compatible with the Light Element; you’re one hundred percent compatible with the Light Law."
Lette nodded: "That’s right."
"However, Holy Light isn’t composed of just light. For example, I can use Light Magic, but I still have to pray to Sister Joanna for the Holy Light Divine Skill.
Holy Light seems to include not just light laws but also Holy Principles, right?
Your... concept is Emergence.
Emergence, can it produce holiness?
Do you have other concepts besides Emergence?
Or perhaps!
Your concept is actually higher than Emergence!
Like Sister Lilith, her concept is Malice, but she can also use Strong Desire and Gluttony, which are subordinate concepts!
Oh! Could it be you!"
"No way. You’re overthinking it. How could that be possible?"
Lette karate-chopped Emily’s forehead: "Don’t overthink it and don’t randomly guess using your intuition!"
Emily felt like she was just about to grasp something, but Lette shattered her train of thought, so she couldn’t catch it again. She just held her head, pouted, and ran to hide behind Lilith.
"In short, in a nutshell, to summarize in one word!"
Lette put his hands on his hips and waved his arm: "All of you, go build the underground city for me first!"
While he was speaking, one Holy Flame Skeleton after another emerged from the underground city altar and quickly joined the labor team.
Watching him summon holy undead without restraint, Lilith felt a bit worried.
"Is this really okay with you?"
"What issue?"
"This kind of summoning consumes both Holy Light and Death energies. You only have Holy Light Power, so where does Death come from..."
Lette gave a thumbs up: "Got it from the Nether Sea."
"Got it?"
"I have complete proxy authority over Death, remember?"
Lette grinned: "Do you think I wanted the complete proxy authority over Death just for fun?
A Death God agent basically does the work of a Death God but cannot incorporate many of the death laws into their own divinity.
In other words, rights to use but not to own.
On the surface, it’s a thankless task like that of mules and horses.
But one thing, the Nether Sea is under the governance of a great will, but even the Death God is just an envoy under that great will.
Though I’m not among the Death Gods, my permission is the fullest.
This means I can’t control the Death Gods, but they can’t control me either!
So..."
Emily was struck with inspiration and clapped her hands: "I get it! It’s like your relationship with the Holy Light Goddess!"
"Exactly!"
Lette rubbed his hands: "I can draw plenty of Power of Death from the Nether Sea!
Those who could manage me wouldn’t care, and those who want to can’t.
As for Holy Light, I can use it however and whenever I want.
So, no matter how many holy undead I summon, it doesn’t cost me a single copper peso.
This is what you call getting free benefits to the end!"
Emily and Lilith quietly watched him, and after a long while, they finally spoke slowly.
"But currently, is Holy Light really a free benefit? At most, it’s not your own money you’re spending, it’s the family’s."
"Exactly, what’s the difference?"
Lette immediately froze in place, clutching his heart and said painfully: "Now that you mention it, I feel a bit heartbroken."
He snapped his fingers, halting the summoning of the Holy Undead Species.
"I guess, finding other free labor is better. Hey, you guys who are already summoned, just keep working hard for now."
As they spoke, there were already over a hundred Holy Flame Skeletons in the underground city ruins, like torches illuminating the earth cave as if it were daylight.
Lilith picked up on the implied meaning in Lette’s words and suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
"Wait! Just wait a minute, you said you want to find other free labor?"
"Yeah!"
"You don’t mean..."
"Heh heh..."
Lette pulled out an old yellowed scroll from his pocket and threw it into the altar.
Lilith sighed and shook her head helplessly at the sight.
Emily and Jenny, very curious, couldn’t help but ask: "What did you just throw in?"
Before Lette could answer, Lilith spoke slowly.
"That’s an emergency meeting invitation from the Demon Realm Victims’ Association."
Before the words fell, a purple demon flame swooshed up, occupying half of the altar.
In the flames, the virtual shadows of various Demon Gods emerged, looking at Lette in confusion.
"Folks, I have a new project, looking for investors. Would you be interested...?"
Before Lette could finish speaking, swoosh, the demon flame went out, and all the divine shadows vanished.
Lette stood there awkwardly, saying with a helpless smile: "At least let me finish my sentence!"
Emily came forward: "Say, don’t you have a greeter in the Demon Realm as well? Why not call them then?"
"When it comes to making big money, of course, I want to get my creditors to make money together. This way, I can repay some of my debts!"
"...You don’t want to scam the greeters because they’re your assets, right?"
"Can you not suddenly become smart at times and places where intelligence isn’t needed?"
Lilith sighed: "I’ll go talk to them then. After all, you’ve scared them enough."
"Heh heh, you go talk to them first..."
"What... do you have in mind now?"
"Continue!"
Lette said while pulling out his Dragon Slayer Mourning and stabbing it into the altar.
"I must shear some wool from the Dragon Realm!"
