I'm really not an old sword

As Mary spoke, she started to act dishonestly again.

Lin Qingsu felt a little embarrassed, but when he thought about it, there were only five people in the underworld now, except for the elves that Meli brought over as maids. Besides him and Meli, there were only Ereshkigal, Nitocris and Ishtar.

The first two are wives, so there is nothing to be taboo about.

Ishtar should still be trapped in the cage at this moment.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingsu simply let Meili think about her business amid the rustling sounds.

It's normal that Mary's "clairvoyance" can't be used.

Not to mention the demon god, the other party only has Gilgamesh and Merlin who have the ability to see far away. If Merlin can see it clearly, Lin Qingsu should suspect that the other party has some conspiracy.

The heroic spirit brought by the demon god...

Lin Qingsu was thinking, when suddenly he frowned and took a breath.

But behind him, there was a sound of hurried footsteps stopping.

Turning around, he saw a girl with blonde hair, golden eyes, bright eyes and white teeth standing at the entrance of the pavilion with a flushed face. When she saw Lin Qingsu looking at her, she was like a frightened little rabbit, almost burying her head in the broad chest, and the long pointed ears that represented her identity were almost dyed blood red with shame.

He was holding a teapot in his hand, with white steam coming out of the spout, as if it had just been brewed.

"S-Sorry, I..."

"New here?"

Lin Qingsu has become much thicker-skinned after being trained by Meili.

Only Mary can get special training.

Apart from Meili, even Tamamonomae could not do such a sudden "attack" in a pavilion in the wild. When Lin Qingsu was on vacation in Xingneihai, Meili made her go from resisting at first to enjoying it later.

Since you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

"Uh-huh."

The elf girl stared at Lin Qingsu's gentle smile in a daze.

The man's gentle voice quickly calmed her down.

She seemed to have forgotten what Lady Merry was doing.

After staring at Lin Qingsu blankly for a while, she met his eyes and realized that her "voyeurism" had been seen clearly. She lowered her head in shame, but still wanted to talk to him, so she asked curiously in a daze.

"H-How did you know I was new here?"

Only new elves yell and scream, old ones are...

"Give me the tea."

The elf girl put the tea on the table and realized why she was so panicked at the beginning. She became panicked again, but when she saw that Lin Qingsu and Meili didn't seem to be angry, she carefully pushed it to the edge of the pavilion but couldn't help but stop.

He looked at the two of them secretly with big eyes.

Lin Qingsu didn't care about the elf girl's blatant peeping behavior.

After they followed Mary into Avalon.

I have never had any contact with the outside world.

Just as Mary had told him before she took him to the Star Inland Sea, he was unexpectedly easy to coax.

Although Leticia is a country girl, she has received a modern education and possesses basic human ethics and morals. These elves have lived carefree lives in the mountains since birth. In addition, it seems that because they live under the rule of Meli, their personalities are not like those of humans, but more like those of clumsy little succubi.

"Hmm... Ritsuka... They just left Uruk... Apparently they were going to find Quetzal."

"Quetzal?"

Lin Qingsu frowned, but her thoughts couldn't calm down for a while. After a long silence, she finally calmed down and thought.

After leaving Uruk, it would not be so easy for the other party to counter Meli's clairvoyance.

"Who is there?"

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, Da Vinci, and Minamoto no Yoshitsune."

When Lin Qingsu heard that it was these 'old people', she immediately lost interest.

"Let them be."

If a few new and powerful heroes appeared, he would be interested in going over to take a look and try to see if he could kill them or persuade them to join his camp.

These few people.

They are like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away. The combined forces are worse than those of one person. No matter which side they go to, they cannot influence the outcome of the battle.

"Then just wait."

......

three days later.

Lin Qingsu learned from Meili that Fujimaru Ritsuka had successfully returned to Uruk with the goddess Quetzal.

During these three days, apart from Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions.

The city of Uruk took no action, and Lin Qingsu lived a vacation-like life in the underworld with Meili and others.

All I do every day is eat and sleep.

Only Nitocris, along with the fairies brought by Meli who could see a slight improvement in the underworld's life in this lifetime, and the ghosts summoned by Ereshkigal, began the construction plan of the underworld.

This is really not Lin Qingsu just giving up and waiting to die.

But he really has nothing to do.

He had done the best he could on Tiamat's side, and the rest was up to fate.

In the Alliance of Three Goddesses.

Except for Quetzal, everyone who could be won over was won over.

Unless the other party is a being of the same level as Tiamat, or the God King Zeus, it is almost impossible for them to break into the underworld and kill them all.

Mary's arrival.

It also completely relieved Lin Qingsu's worries about Wang Hassan's assassination.

Even if Wang Hassan's stealth skills were so great that the goddess of the underworld couldn't find him in his own home turf.

But add Mellie.

If he could succeed in the assassination again, Lin Qingsu felt that she would not have to fight anymore. She could just clean her neck and wait for Wang Hassan to kill her.

Therefore, Lin Qingsu felt that there was really no need for her to rush.

Gilgamesh and the others should be the ones who are anxious.

He would just wait in the underworld. The opponent would not be able to do anything in the underworld's home turf. He would buy time and wait for Tiamat to wake up. Even if the underworld could not stop Tiamat, the first ones to suffer would definitely be the people on the ground.

Mary plays games with him every day and uses her "clairvoyance" to watch the show. She knows how to kill time better than he does.

Ereshkigal had long been accustomed to the passage of time, and was only happy that Lin Qingsu stayed at her house every day.

The only thing I'm not happy about...

"Hello, is your name Mary?"

Ishtar was released from the birdcage the next day.

Became a normal body shape.

Whether he fell to the ground because Lin Qingsu pleaded for mercy or because Ereshkigal got bored after teasing him for a while is not mentioned for now.

The suppression of her divine power by Ereshkigal using the authority of the Lord of the Underworld did not lift it at all. Now, apart from being able to survive in the Underworld, Ereshkigal is almost no different from an ordinary human woman in all other aspects.

Although there were no restrictions on her activities, Ishtar, without her divine power, found it difficult to even leave the palace, let alone leave the underworld and fly to the surface.

Seeing Meili in the garden, Ishtar immediately ran over and asked, "Do you know where Lin Qingsu is?"

"Goddess, what do you want from him?"

"I want..."

Ishtar originally wanted to say, "Terminate the cooperation!"

But then he thought again, he was now on their territory. If he said that, what if they got angry and locked him up completely?

"I want to go back to the surface."

"I see, goddess is homesick."

Meili suddenly realized and said, "If the goddess wants to return to the surface, just tell me. He has already said that if the goddess wants to leave, she can leave at any time."

Then he added, "It's just that Lord Ereshkigal is rather... clingy."

Upon hearing this, Ishtar remembered that she had not seen Lin Qingsu once in the past two days, and she agreed with it deeply.

This is indeed something that dark and weird guy can do.

As a result, the resentment towards Lin Qingsu because of what happened in the past few days turned into sympathy.

Ishtar, who was finally able to return home, smiled.

Humph.

When this goddess returns to the surface, I will make her pay the price...

"but..."

Ishtar's heart tightened and she looked at Meili nervously.

"But what?"

"Are you willing to leave like this, goddess?"

Ishtar was stunned, not quite understanding what Meili meant. Meili continued to explain, "Goddess, don't you want to vent your anger?"

Ishtar's expression froze, but she snorted and spoke confidently.

"This goddess is too lazy to argue with her."

"After all, she is this goddess's sister."

"Just consider it as pity for her this time."

When I get back to the surface safely, I will definitely find a way to make that dark, weird and twisted guy pay!

Hearing this, Meili sighed, but nodded and said, "In that case, I will take the goddess back to the surface."

"Why are you sighing?"

Meli shook her head, hesitant to speak. Only after Ishtar's curious questioning did she finally say, "Actually, I find it inappropriate to see Lord Ereshkigal bullying you, a collaborator invited to the underworld, so harshly. I've been thinking about letting you vent your anger these past few days, but..."

Meili paused, glanced at Ishtar, and shook her head. "Goddess, please return to the surface first, otherwise..."

"What else?!"

Ishtar's heart moved.

His face was full of arrogance and disdain, and there was no trace of the anxious attitude of running away just now.

"This goddess is just giving in to her. Don't worry. Tell her your plan."

"As expected of Goddess Ishtar."

Mary exclaimed in sincere admiration, causing Ishtar's head to tilt even higher.

"I'm glad to know. Tell me now."

Ishtar urged, having never considered how she would avenge Ereshkigal after reaching the upper realms.

That is to say, it is just a way to vent your anger.

In fact, before she met Mary, she was thinking about escaping from this place as quickly as possible. It was only after Mary reminded her that she pretended to do so because she did not want to lose the face of the goddess in front of "mortals".

Now that Meili said this, she was very curious about her idea, because she really had no idea how to take revenge on Ereshkigal, who could not leave the underworld and was almost invincible in the underworld.

"Then I'll say it."

"Goddess, you are powerful. It would be easy for you to defeat her. However, I think simply defeating her will not have any effect on her, and creating a fait accompli will not bring much pleasure in revenge."

"That's right. Only rude lower-level gods and beasts always enjoy fighting and killing."

Ishtar nodded repeatedly. She certainly would not admit that she could never defeat Ereshkigal in the underworld.

"Go on."
