“My King, are we now able to…”

Paul Brantley carefully chose his words, fearing that saying the wrong thing would lead to his utter ruin.

Suddenly, the surrounding black mist began to dissipate, and the commanders present were surprised to find that, with the disappearance of the black mist, the walls of the venue and the round table placed in the middle of the venue reappeared in front of them.

"Finally back...!"

Upon witnessing these scenes, the leader of both the "Old Lady" and the "Female Wolf" was moved to tears, almost bursting into sobs.

Having experienced the boundless terror that permeated the realm shrouded in black mist, they now see everything in reality again, their hearts filled with the joy of wearing new underwear for the New Year, and even the air feels incredibly fresh.

Shirou then spoke up.

“I can give you one chance, but if a similar situation happens again, you should know what the consequences will be.”

Upon hearing this, the commanders immediately knelt on one knee and performed the knightly salute.

Seeing their respectful demeanor, Shirou nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked towards the door.

Diana Milito and Liliana quickly followed in the footsteps of the "King".

As the figure of "King" gradually receded into the distance, the four commanders breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into their chairs, as if they had lost all their strength.

Paul Brontë, however, sat down with some difficulty at that moment.

"Uncle, how are you?" Erica asked anxiously.

Erica's uncle, Paul Brantri, was her only remaining family in the world, and naturally, she didn't want anything to happen to him.

"I broke a few ribs, and the intense fighting afterwards seems to have aggravated my injuries. I need some time to rest."

As he said this, Paul Brantry looked at his niece, Erica.

“Erica, you will be in charge of the [Copper Black Cross] from now on. Until my injuries heal, you will become the knight of that ‘King’ and serve him.”

Erica paused for a moment upon hearing Paul Brontë's words, then quickly nodded.

"I understand."

After giving his explanation, Paul Brantry turned his gaze to the 'Purple Knight' hanging on the wall. Seeing Paul Brantry's actions, the others also looked up at the lifeless 'Purple Knight' on the wall.

The commander-in-chief of the "City of Lilies," a man who became the "Purple Knight" at around thirty years old and was quite famous in the magic world, died so casually today.

He died because he angered a 'Campione'.

……

After dealing with the guy who tried to defy him and giving the Italian magic society a good talking-to, Shirou went straight back to his villa in Naples.

While enjoying a life of unparalleled luxury, Shirou also made sure to study the advancements of "Unlimited Blade Works" and other combat techniques.

A week passed just like that. During this time, the Italian magic society was also diligently collecting information about the 'Disobedient God', and it is said that they have found some clues.

After another night, Shirou was awakened by the morning light filtering through the curtains.

Shirou stood before the French windows, his eyes slightly closed, basking in the warm glow of the rising sun.

After standing quietly for a while, Shirou left the room. The maid, Karen, was already waiting outside the door.

"Your Majesty, breakfast has been prepared for you."

Compared to her initial nervousness on the first day, Kallen, the maid, is now much less tense and more natural when facing Shirou.

"Well, let's go."

Shirou nodded and walked towards the restaurant.

Meanwhile, the maid Karen quickly followed Shirou's steps and went to the restaurant with him.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Liliana was already waiting there, pulling out a chair for Shirou.

Good morning, 'Wang'.

Shirou didn't stand on ceremony, sitting down immediately and beginning his meal. As he ate the delicious food, he glanced at Liliana, who had pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him at the table. ...

"Lord Liliana, is there any news lately about the appearance of a 'disobedient god'?"

Upon hearing Shirou's question, Liliana quickly answered.

"We did receive news today that many unusual phenomena have recently occurred at Mount Olympus in Greece, which are very likely related to the 'disobedient gods'."

Upon hearing Liliana's words, Shirou wore a thoughtful expression.

"Greece……"

The words of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, echoed in his ears again, causing Shirou's eyes to narrow slightly.

"Primordial gods, the twelve Titans, the third generation of gods... who will appear there?"

What about the first category?

According to Shirou's guess, the deity that will appear on Mount Olympus this time is very likely a third-generation deity, that is, one of the twelve Olympian gods.

There could even be more than one.

"In that case, it's definitely worth going to take a look."

Shirou put down his cutlery and then gave instructions to Liliana beside him.

"Prepare the car, let's set off immediately."

Chapter Eighteen Erica's Request

The next day, Shirou went to Thessaloniki.

Thessaloniki is located in northern Greece, at the northwestern corner of the Halkidiki Peninsula, bordering the Gulf of Selmay, a triangular bay in the northern Aegean Sea. It is the second largest city in Greece and the largest city in northern Greece, serving as the capital of the Central Macedonia region and the Thessaloniki region.

Shirou arrived at the city's central square and slightly raised his head to gaze at the highest peak in Greece, a hundred kilometers away.

He is currently in Thessaloniki, a port city in northern Greece, which is only a little over 100 kilometers away from Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece.

So far, nothing seems amiss; perhaps we'll be able to perceive it more deeply once we reach Mount Olympus.

However, by the time Shirou leisurely arrived by plane, it was already dark.

“Your Majesty, shall we go and take a look today?”

Liliana followed behind Shirou and asked.

"No need, it's the same if we go tomorrow. There's no sign of the 'disobedient god' appearing yet."

Shirou shrugged in response.

Of course, it is also possible that the 'disobedient god' deliberately concealed its aura.

But why would a deity deliberately hide himself after appearing in the mortal world?

Shirou felt that given the arrogance of those 'disobedient gods,' it was unlikely they would do such a thing.

"Let's just wander around first."

As Shirou said this, he walked toward Mitropolis Street on the right side of the central square.

"My king, wait for me!"

Liliana quickly followed Shirou's steps, and together they strolled through the bustling city streets.

Greeks tend to dress modestly and casually; you won't see patched jeans or expensive suits on the street, although locals will dress up when going to nightclubs or mandolin bars.

In summer, you should dress lightly and casually, and wear durable shoes. A light pullover or jacket is a must-have for cool nights.

In summer, you don't need to bring an umbrella or raincoat, but you should definitely bring sunglasses and a sun hat.

Of course, you should be prepared for cooler weather. It will rain in spring, autumn and winter, so bring an extra warm jacket during these times.

Some monasteries and churches have stricter requirements; they do not allow people who are not formally dressed or wearing shorts to enter, although they often provide long skirts or similar coverings at the entrance.

Wearing too revealing clothing can lead to an awkward situation where you are not well-received.

Thessaloniki offers a wide variety of goods, from high-end designer brands and exquisite jewelry to fine antiques, furs, and fine leather products.

The main shopping areas include Tsmski, Venice, Angios Sofias, Emont, Mitropolis, Ignatius, and Losford Street. Other traditional markets also offer genuine or replica jewelry, as well as countless trendy trinkets.

Shirou bought some along the way, intending to keep them as gifts for Sakura, Illya, and Rin when he returned to Fuyuki City.

After wandering around until 10 p.m., Shirou checked into a luxury hotel in Thessaloniki.

Not long after they settled in, someone arrived who surprised Shirou.

……

"This must be the hotel where the 'King' is staying."

Erica Bruntry, the beautiful blonde with blue eyes, looked at the hotel entrance with a hint of hesitation in her heart.

Image: "Crimson", Location: "Images/1674439781-100352746-109859722.jpg"

If she had never met this 'King' before, she naturally wouldn't hesitate so much at the last minute before their meeting.

All of this was because she witnessed the power of that demon king at the 'Headquarters of the Female Wolf' that day. He was her uncle, a being to whom even so many legendary knights were powerless to resist.

At that moment, Erica understood.

Only the Demon King can fight the Demon King.

And no one else has the power to fight the Demon King.

As an incomprehensible being in this world, obtaining its protection is the best course of action.

After standing outside the hotel for more than ten minutes, having mentally prepared herself, Erica finally pushed open the heavy door of the hotel restaurant.

What comes into view is a spacious and luxurious space, with a magnificent crystal chandelier on the ceiling that reflects dreamlike and colorful light from every angle.

The magnificent European-style tables and chairs are small and exquisite, and the bar is painted pure white, exuding an aristocratic atmosphere.

Each table is adorned with a white porcelain vase, inside which pink roses bloom gracefully, harmonizing perfectly with the elegant surroundings.

A staff member approached and politely inquired about Erica's intentions.

However, Erica ignored the other party and instead used a hinting magic to help the other party find Liliana's room from a bunch of names.

"I wonder if that 'King' will live with Liliana..."

Erica murmured to herself as she stepped onto the elevator and headed straight for her target floor.

She wasn't speculating wildly, but rather felt that as a young 'king,' he might have such needs, especially since Liliana was a beautiful young woman no less stunning than herself.

This possibility cannot be ruled out. Erica only hopes that things won't turn out the way she thinks. She doesn't want to disturb the "King's" enjoyment at an inappropriate time, since she came with ulterior motives.
