The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　She only accepted Aphrodite's invitation, but did not confirm becoming Chi's "Chosen One"; everything was still open to discussion.

　Perhaps she could discuss it further with Aphrodite and relax the conditions to the same level as Apollo's.

　Janice wasn't fantasizing. Negotiation was her forte.

　She was quite confident that her "negotiations" would be successful.

　Moreover, after learning about Apollo's conditions, she had other ideas.

　After three years of work, I became a god and gained freedom.

　If she could really achieve that, wouldn't she be able to return to the Duke's mansion, become a pillar of the household as the "Goddess of Beauty," and live the fishing life she'd always dreamed of?

　Janice gritted her teeth slightly, then had an idea.

　Meanwhile, Alvitt was puzzled by Ollie's hesitation, so she asked softly, "Why are you still considering such an opportunity? Is there something on your mind? If your concern is me, then there's no need to worry."

　Oli is the head maid of the "Aries Palace" in the Duke's mansion, which is in charge of the mansion's kitchen and also has some other internal affairs.

　But this... is actually just a facade.

　Oli's actual role within the manor was that of the Duke's secretary. She was Alvette's personal secretary and would handle government affairs on his behalf when the Duke was away on business.

　At the age of six, Aure was chosen to be brought into the Duke's mansion, and at the age of thirteen, she gained the recognition of the "Aries Saint Armor". It can be said that she was raised by Aurette and is the person Aurette trusts the most besides Dark and Claire.

　Her position in Aylvit's heart was no less than that of a "daughter." If Dark hadn't changed after enrolling in St. Marian's Academy, she had even considered having Ollie and Dark marry, with Dark ostensibly inheriting her dukedom. In reality, Ollie would continue to manage the affairs of the manor—actually the true "duke."

　In other words, although Ollie was six years older than Darke, she was originally considered to be raised as a "child bride".

　As for Dark's other "fiancée," Aurora was so capable that Aylvit actually had the idea of ​​"breaking off the engagement" at that time.

　She wasn't the kind of person who was stuck in the past; she didn't care whether "arranged marriage" existed or not.

　However, because Dak has grown significantly since enrolling in school, both the plans for a "fiancée" and a "child bride" have become uncertain.

　Arvit's current mindset is to let the young people explore freely. In her view, this one or that one are all good, satisfactory children.

　The kingdom is still not fully recovered from the aftermath of the war, and its policy of "restoring the nation's total population" is one of encouraging more births. Not only are there policy supports for second and third children, but polygamy is also still supported. Although some feminists have expressed their opposition to polygamy, Arvit is well aware that such opposition will not be effective until the nation's total population has recovered to a certain level.

　Moreover, even if it takes effect in the future, it won't be applied to the nobility so quickly. She doesn't have a particularly strong interest in changing the national system; her primary considerations are national interests and, secondly, the rule of law.

　Since the country's current system is still "polygamy," she will not stop her son from marrying and having more children.

　Rather, she would actually prefer to see that scene, so that her lineage could flourish.

　Because she had always treated Oli as her "daughter," Arvit was prepared to give Oli a little push when Oli had the opportunity to become a "Chosen One" but was still hesitant.

　The opportunity to become a god should not be missed, especially one with such lenient conditions!

　The "Chosen Ones" are limited by the rank of the main god; not just any god can grant their "Chosen Ones" the ability to directly become gods.

　As we all know, most of the "chosen ones" in history who walked among the earth in place of the gods were actually only demigods, or at the level of "angels." Only gods who reached or approached the level of the twelve Porobos could bestow enough divine attributes to allow their "chosen ones" to transcend the difference between humans and gods in one step and instantly become gods.

　If this opportunity is missed, it will truly be gone forever! Alvitt was genuinely concerned for Ollie.

　But when faced with the Duke's questioning, Aurelia became unusually hesitant. Seeing that she couldn't give a coherent answer for a long time, Aurelia frowned slightly and pointed to a "Magic Card." It was immediately activated, bringing her and Aurelia to a separate space shaped like a pink bubble.

　“Speak, they can’t hear you here,” said Alvette. Ollie looked around, then clenched her hands and rubbed them together unconsciously, her skin slightly flushed. After a long while, she finally recounted her conversation with Apollo.

　As Arvit listened, her expression grew increasingly strange.

　Only after Ollie finally finished speaking did she ask, "So, you originally didn't want to become Apollo's 'Chosen One'?"

　Auli nodded, then shook her head, and said seriously, "I haven't agreed yet." Alvit couldn't help but rub her forehead, saying, "If you don't want to, then refuse. I don't think Apollo is some incomprehensible god. As for Apollo's promise, I can do it for him."

　Oli had been looking down, appearing nervous and anxious, but suddenly she raised her head, staring wide-eyed at the Duke, her face filled with disbelief and rising surprise.

　Arvit shook her head, her face showing worry, and said, "Since you had this idea all along, why didn't you just tell me? I thought we had always been able to talk about anything."

　The expression on Ollie's face immediately froze.

　It's at times like these that His Majesty the Duke becomes particularly unlovable.

　“陂”.

　Pink bubbles burst in the air.

　Alvit and Ollie rejoined the crowd. Everyone watched them intently, awaiting the outcome.

　Dak was also quite curious about this, and he felt that he couldn't quite grasp what Ollie was thinking.

　It was Alvitt who spoke on his behalf. She said, "Aurelia doesn't want to be Apollo's 'Chosen One,' but because it's Apollo, she can't refuse. However, in my opinion, Apollo doesn't necessarily need her. We can think of a way to negotiate with him. For example, we could help him find someone more suitable to be his 'Chosen One.'"

　She then turned to Chris and asked, "Do you have any recommendations?" As the head maid of the "Scorpio Palace," Chris naturally couldn't escape the "hunting" of the twelve gods.

　The one who pulled her ashore was Hermes, the "messenger of the gods." Chris pondered for only a moment before speaking, "Alice Christopher, the owner of that white cat. I think she would be a good choice."

　A thought struck her, and she said, "She wasn't invited." Chris shook her head and said, "No."

　During the World Cup, Arvit was in the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple" and did not see Alice in person.

　But she knew of someone Dark had snatched from the World Cup. She looked at Dark.

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because she possesses the 'God Card,' so she's assumed to already have someone she belongs to."

Chapter 1674 Darkdemon and the Second Type of Chosen Ones (1/3)

　Chapter 1674 Darkdemon and the Second Chosen One (14k)

　Alice Christopher, the vice director of the Welfare Home in Welfare Town, is a girl who has just turned eighteen this year, yet she is as pure and kind as a saint.

　Her existence proves that all it takes to transform an ordinary girl with absolutely no magic into a Holy Light Mage capable of summoning "four-winged angels" is a cat.

　In reality, the little white cat named "Nikolai" is the true form of "Alice".

　Everything Alice has comes from that cat, but that cat is not a "god".

　That's the magic of this combination.

　Since the World Cup ended, Alice has been labeled "Dimon" and has become a full-time employee of "Dark Cat Company".

　The Duke's mansion did not restrict her in any way, nor did it even take her inside the mansion.

　She was a full-time employee of "Dark Cat Club". Apart from running a branch of the Magic Duel Club in Welfare Town and serving as the manager of that small branch, she had not held any other responsibilities.

　This is mainly because it has been too short since the World Cup ended, and Darko has not yet had time to make more arrangements for her.

　Her own desires were very simple: she just wanted to earn money to repair that impoverished welfare home.

　Dak offered her a job under the guise of an association. Not only did she receive a regular salary, but she also received sales commissions—and most importantly, the salary was very high, paid in advance, and all benefits were top-notch.

　After all, Fuli Town is too small, and a sales commission system simply can't be implemented. What, what can you do with a salary?

　The answer is that once you have a salary, you can do anything!

　So Alice was very happy during those days, thoroughly enjoying the treatment of a high-paid employee.

　In short, she completely renovated the orphanage and bought new clothes for all the orphans, and they spent every day in laughter.

　However, all happiness in this world comes with a price. She would ultimately have to pay the price for that small happiness.

　That being said, can becoming Apollo's "chosen one" really be considered a price to pay?

　However, all of the above is currently just self-talk.

　Even if Alice is truly suited to be the "Chosen One" of the "God of Light," it still depends on whether the "God of Light" is willing.

　Ultimately, we still need to try our best to negotiate.

　However, given the current situation, it is actually quite difficult for humans to negotiate with the gods on an equal footing.

　All they can say is that they tried their best.

　Fortunately, the person being negotiated with was Apollo, the "god of light," not Zeus, the "king of gods."

　Although many maids felt that Ollie's choice was a real pity, they all respected her decision.

　In reality, for most humans, the idea of ​​"becoming a god" is itself ethereal and unreal.

　It is precisely this elusive feeling that allows opportunities to slip through our fingers.

　However, Ollie also had her own considerations.

　Being able to stand atop this "Twelve Movements" Sky Garden means one cannot be described as an "ordinary person."

　She was probably confident that she could catch up with that wave of opportunity by relying on her own abilities.

　This is just like the meaning of "tower": for a mortal god to challenge the position of a god is an extremely dangerous thing in itself.

　Without the unwavering confidence to defy fate, how could one possibly ascend to godhood?

　Therefore, choosing to become a "Chosen One" is equivalent to voluntarily withdrawing from the struggle for the path of magic.

　The twelve gods were well aware of this, so the "Chosen Ones" were not qualified to participate in the "God's Cup".

　When selecting "chosen ones," they skipped over figures like Alvette and Principal Arte.

　Of course, Apollo did not make that choice.

　After all, besides Ori, the only other person in the Robe's camp is Dark Dimon.

　As the "God of Light," he could naturally see at a glance that Dark was not suitable to be the "Chosen One" of the Robe.

　Therefore, Aoli is currently the only option for the robe.

　—Perhaps because Pao made a prophecy in advance, he never thought of finding more candidates besides Aoli.

　Do not dwell on these matters.

　The choices made by deities are often illogical. History has shown that this is especially true of deities of higher status.

　The discussion continues.

　After listing the known information, everyone discovered that the "chosen ones" of most of the gods had already been chosen.

　So far, the only ones who have not shown any intention of becoming "chosen ones" are Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging; Hestia, the goddess of the hearth; Hera, the queen of the gods; Demeter, the goddess of agriculture; and Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.

　Among them, Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, invited nine people, and they were nowhere to be seen all night. Dark pointed out very sharply that the robe was most likely disguised as a girl and wandering around the tea party of other gods.

　Demeter, the "goddess of agriculture," might very well personally "grow" a "chosen one" from scratch.

　"Queen" Hera was always with those women of high status, discussing everyday matters.

　Hestia, the "Goddess of the Hearth," gives the impression that she has no idea what she's doing.

　Hephaestus, the "God of Fire and Forging," only made a brief appearance at the beginning of the tea party, and then disappeared again with Professor Kazel.

　Although Darke kept saying that Apollo, the "god of light," and Aphrodite, the "goddess of love and beauty," were gods of giving up.

　But looking at them now, these current deities are no less formidable. And this is the difference in thinking between humans and gods.

　Forging the "Magical Path" involves the complete revival of the twelve gods, and even breaking through the "upper limit" to go further.

　This would be the most important thing in the eyes of any normal human being. But a large portion of the twelve gods did not seem to think that way.

　Their long lives, so long that they themselves had lost all feeling, had made them extremely dull to many things.

　Just like the "Ragnarok" of the previous era, they only realized what was happening when the "Abyss" appeared before them, and hastily came up with a half-baked solution to deal with it.

　Now that they have awakened again, with all twelve gods present, it makes Chi feel that the world is still the same as before, and it is still the twelve of them who have come full circle.

　If nothing will change, then what is the point of proactively seeking change?

　Ultimately, twelve gods are still too many. They are all among the top-ranking gods, so only a few of them need to take charge, and the rest don't need to do anything.

　Among these twelve gods, there were a few who were simply restless and naturally loved to do things.

　For example, there's Zeus, the "King of the Gods," and Hermes, the "Messenger of the Gods." Among them, Zeus, the "King of the Gods," especially loved to save face and put on airs. His loose power and his shrewd personality were perfectly combined, making him a perpetual motion machine that would never stop.

　The twelve gods called him "Big Brother" and always gave him face; he was a man of action.

　The twelve Poirotians were such a relatively loosely organized group, yet their core connections were incredibly tight.

　"In short, as things stand, the situation is in our favor," Claire Kate concluded briefly.

　"Becoming one of the 'Chosen Ones' of the Twelve Gods is a good thing; don't avoid it like the plague."

　"If Janice can successfully become Aphrodite's 'Chosen One,' it will undoubtedly benefit our future development."

　"Similarly, if we could get Alice... although I haven't met her yet, if we could successfully recommend her to become Apollo's 'Chosen One,' it would be equivalent to having two trusted confidants within the organization of the Twelve Gods."

　"Of course, if Janice and Alice can successfully become gods after the Magic God Path is forged, then they will be more than just two trusted confidants. It's equivalent to having two more true gods protecting us in the future."

　"I believe that everyone can see the character of the Twelve Gods from our interactions tonight. They are not bad, but they are rather capricious."

　"In the future after the 'Resurrection of the Gods,' seeking their constant protection will be virtually impossible. Moving our entire family to their divine kingdom to live as dependents is not our goal."
