The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 117

“I really didn’t expect that you would dare to do such a thing.” The speaker was Ophelia, who hadn’t been seen for a long time.

The high and mighty Her Highness the Prince was now standing at the entrance of the Gabriel family.

Originally, Ophelia was also supposed to attend this banquet, but after discovering that the movements inside the hall were causing tremors that affected the outside areas, she gave up on getting involved.

The accompanying knight explored the situation in the hall and then reported back to Ophelia.

Su Li saw the slight mockery on Ophelia’s face and responded with an even calmer expression.

“A thousand statements are not worth one slap in the face.”

Ophelia’s face immediately darkened.

Su Li’s gaze swept past her figure, not intending to discuss with the Grand Princess who was currently in the midst of the situation but unable to see the bigger picture.

The Grand Judge’s thoughts were understandable, and the Dark Pope wasn’t too difficult to figure out either, but if these two were working together to scheme against him…

As for those nobles, no matter how bubbly their brains were, they would understand what it means to be a wise man who knows the times.

The affairs of the Inner City could now be largely transferred to the Grand Judge, while Su Li was currently thinking about how to return to Sadina City as soon as possible.

Between his own headquarters and the capital city that was fraught with various risks, Su Li would choose the former without even having to think about it.

At the inn.

Roy asked curiously, “Why did you come back so early?”

Egbert shrugged and answered, “If we stayed any longer, those people would probably go directly to the King and accuse us of attempting to murder them.”

Mavis felt, “It wouldn’t go that far.”

“It’s just that less trouble is better than more.” Mavis glanced at Su Li, whose expression had remained unchanged throughout.

“Coming from you, that’s quite ironic,” Egbert thought about the total number of people in the banquet hall, and after a brief consideration, he figured that at least half of them had been severely injured by Mavis.

If Mavis truly wanted to take action, except for that Grand Duke whose background couldn’t be fully understood in a short time, the others were just like dead fish on a chopping board.

“Instead of thinking about these things, we should consider what to do next,” Lan Zhe wasn’t very concerned about the Inner City.

What he was more interested in was the “Beast Forest” that had already left a deep impression on Su Li.

It was like a new world waiting to be explored.

Lan Zhe’s curiosity about it was similar to his attitude when staying by Su Li’s side.

That place was a completely unfamiliar area, and Su Li was like a book that couldn’t be finished.

“Just hand over all unnecessary and miscellaneous matters directly to the Grand Judge.”

“We don’t have any obligatory duties to this country.”

The reason Amikbi is Amikbi seems to be more determined by the monster beasts rather than defined by humans.

The people living here have a much greater level of faith in the gods than in the country.

Su Li calmly said, “Perhaps what I’m about to say will make me seem somewhat cold, but I still want to say it. My choice to define some right and wrong for the people of this world doesn’t stem from a desire to save them. I also don’t think I need to make such an arrogant definition for myself.”

“The choice to inform is simply based on a personal idea.”

Telling humans that there are incredibly powerful monster beasts raising them like livestock would broadly divide humanity into two camps.

One would be like him, not wanting to be viewed as pets.

The other would think, does it matter whether they’re being raised like livestock or not?

They might even feel that his speculation is just speculation. Before the events are proven, these are just irrelevant guesses.

But the question arises again: does he need to explain his reasons to both sides?

There’s no need.

So what he needs to do is not to repeatedly state to the public, but rather just tell them the underlying logic of a way of thinking.

There’s no need to take on too many burdens.

As for that book that makes his scalp tingle just thinking about it…

Although the content annotated by Egbert was indeed outrageous, it still opened up a new line of thought for the people in this city.

Therefore, his next primary goal was no longer to continue getting entangled in the mess between nobles and royalty; the Grand Judge would handle that.

What Su Li really wanted to do was, in the shortest possible time while everyone else dared not make careless moves, guide that city symbolizing freedom towards the direction he wanted.

For instance—to make everyone understand that nobles and royalty do not inherently possess a naturally superior value.

And then, development.

Sadina City needed sufficient development.

Su Li almost unabashedly labeled himself as an alarmist.

Since Cyril’s ancestor was a dragon, it means that high-level monster beasts originally had the possibility of entering human society.

A humanoid walking nuclear bomb, and moreover, an intelligent being with obviously different consciousness from humans… Just thinking about those monster beasts that could potentially enter human society made Su Li feel like there was an invisible knife at his throat.

As for the cooperation between the Dark Church and the Grand Judge… it seemed that it had already been achieved through this banquet.

Having thought of all this, Su Li simply voiced his thoughts.

Raven was the first to ask, “If such dangerous high-level monster beasts truly exist, what would you do?”

Su Li answered without hesitation, “Due to the selfish attributes deeply embedded in human bones, blood, and soul, if faced with such a situation, I would only try my best to nip all dangers in the bud.”

“Truth only exists within cannon shells, as does the right to speak.”

Before the knife at his throat cuts his throat, even if he’s weak enough to be naturally at the bottom in this other world, easily sent to meet the King of Hell by any attack, Su Li would ensure that he’d bite his enemy once before dying.

“Of course,” Su Li tapped his head, his demeanor serene, “Just as humans divide into two camps when facing facts, I don’t believe that all monster beasts are beings that want to destroy humanity.”

“This point might allow for the possibility of peaceful coexistence between humans and monster beasts…”

“But this point doesn’t mean that we have the qualification to have equal dialogue with monster beasts.”

Human rights, while being crushed by social rules, are also continuously being overwhelmed by another species.

Su Li didn’t think this phenomenon was good, but he also wouldn’t fear it anymore.

He told Raven, his tone serious, “I’m probably the type of person who doesn’t care much about dignity, at least when people called me useless, I never got angry. But even though I don’t care about this, I still care about the rights I should have.”

“And then, I really hate trouble.”

Su Li couldn’t help but want to go back to Sadina City to confront “Xiao Zuo” whenever he thought about the various complicated matters between nobles.

He didn’t want to stay in this city anymore.

So, he had to run quickly before the Grand Judge and the Dark Pope could react.

Su Li thought of this and started packing his luggage.

While the others were confused, he said, “Being in the same camp as the Dark Church and being viewed as an unviolable enemy by many nobles is indeed part of the deal and cooperation, but it will also become the source of events in the struggle for succession among royal heirs.”

“For example, can Ophelia use the fact that she has a grudge against us to unite with other nobles?” Egbert asked.

“And also to overthrow the King and take the throne herself,” Su Li said.

“Don’t underestimate the Grand Princess. Although she doesn’t have many cards to play, she is extremely good at using everything she can.”

“The difference between what Ophelia had before and what she has now is not very significant. Besides, I can’t say for sure that I can definitely surpass her in terms of creating advantages by exploiting information gaps.”

What does Ophelia have?

In terms of strength, she doesn’t have any, and for external connections… she’s the Pope’s own daughter, so what relationship could she have with the King?

But she still almost became Queen.

The Pope is dead, and her birth mother chose to die with him. The Church of Light is no longer a source of pressure for her, and as for the so-called poison, as long as it’s not instantly fatal, Ophelia still has countless possibilities to turn the tables.

“Also, I vaguely feel that the Grand Judge actually still maintains an absolutely neutral stance.”

Roy asked, “You mean that old man has been standing aside all along?”

Mavis added, “He probably also doesn’t care who sits on the throne.”

“But these things are also not within our area of concern. I think it’s better to return to Sadina City soon, after all…” Lan Zhe turned his eager gaze towards the Raven.

“The Inner City doesn’t offer us a place to go all out with this crow.”

Raven: ……

Without actual combat, the strengthening of power would only be like the accumulation of ethereal elements.

A crow that feels it will break through the concept of a level 9 monster beast…

In Lan Zhe’s view, this was completely equivalent to a walking experience pack.

“Then we’ll leave tonight,” Su Li said decisively.

Su Li felt no remorse at all about pushing all the miscellaneous matters in this city to the Grand Judge.

He even felt it wasn’t enough.

The Grand Judge was too good at calculating people, and the Dark Pope’s thoughts were probably not much different.

Old foxes, and there were two of them.

Comparing these two with the deceased Pope of Light, Su Li couldn’t measure their strength, but in terms of intelligence, they were truly not much different.

Continuing to stay in this city, Su Li always felt that he would be schemed against until he had nothing left, not even his shoes.

So early the next morning, when someone came to the inn to inform Su Li that many nobles, influenced by yesterday’s banquet, had already actively expressed compromise to the King and would provide economic support to strongly promote the development of industry, the inn staff told the messenger, “The people staying here left the Inner City overnight last night.”

Grand Judge: ???

He really hadn’t expected this.

Theoretically, Su Li would stay here for at least another week.

And during this time, the Grand Judge would use Su Li’s natural pressure on the nobles, during his presence, to completely exploit those fat sheep who knew nothing about the truth, skin and bones and all.

What a pity…

On the way back to Sadina City, Su Li sneezed and then asserted with a decisive tone, “There’s an 80% probability that the Grand Judge is talking about me, and the other 20% probability is that the Dark Pope is praising me.”

The reason?

After Su Li left, during the period when the Grand Judge was exploiting the nobles, even though he would still use Su Li as an excuse, he would be relatively more restrained.

And his restraint, for the Pope, was the best time in the short term to push forward the law that dark elementalists are also citizens of Amikbi.

Unless the Grand Judge wanted to see the fat sheep become useless skeletons before they were skinned and boned.
