"Because a magic society without the protection of the Demon King is likely to become a target for others. For example, when going out on business, if a magic society is not protected by the Demon King, the other party may make things difficult for them for various reasons, or even launch an attack."
Even if you are bullied, you can only endure it.
"We were already preparing to put this plan on the agenda."
"But your sudden appearance has put this plan on hold for the time being."
"Although our Copper Black Cross Magic Society has not declared allegiance to Lord Salbatre Tony, we are still within the scope of the Southern European Magic Society."
"If I were to rashly declare my allegiance to you, it might not only provoke attacks from other magic societies, but it could also displease Salbatre Tony, leading to a battle between kings."
“Even if Lord Salbatre Tony doesn’t say a word, there will be people deliberately targeting our Copper Black Cross.”
"Our Copper Black Cross will face great difficulties at that time."
"But today is different. My dear, you displayed your divine power and completely overwhelmed the King of Swords. You even knelt down and begged for mercy in the end. Many commanders of magic societies witnessed this."
"Then no magic society will dare to target us with impunity again."
Lu Li understood Erica's words: the Copper Black Cross wanted to find a backer.
Indeed, having a powerful backer is very important. Even if the backer doesn't actually appear, their mere presence can be a significant deterrent.
"Erica, you know I'm not really interested in power or anything like that."
Some people may like being a king, but Lu Li has no interest in that. The only things a king can bring him are so-called status and fame.
It makes no sense at all.
Otherwise, he could have easily become one of the Four Emperors in the One Piece world.
If Lu Li says he wants to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard will immediately give up his position as the leader.
He would be better off using that time to cultivate and improve his strength.
Reputation and status are fleeting; only strength is real.
“I know, my dear, but you must need help in this world. The old lady and the others have already pledged their allegiance to Lord Salbatre Tony, and they wouldn’t dare do anything for you if he gave the order.”
“But the copper-black cross is different. If it pledges allegiance to you, it will do anything for you, and there will be less resistance when it goes out to do things.”
Lu Li nodded when he heard Erica say that.
Indeed, while divine power is not his primary means at present, it is still very competent as a supplement, and if it continues to evolve, it may very well become one of his primary means.
He definitely needs someone in this world to do things for him.
“Alright, Paul Brantley, I accept your allegiance.”
Paul Brantley was overjoyed upon hearing Lu Li's words and said excitedly:
"Thank you, [Wang]! The Copper Black Cross will definitely not let you down!"
Magic societies are not just clubs or organizations where magicians and knights gather.
Rather, it is a force, and forces naturally have conflicting interests, which are the main factors that cause their conflicts.
It's like a piece of land that two developers both want; naturally, the one with powerful connections and influence will win it.
Those without connections cannot even resist.
Now that he has pledged allegiance to Lu Li, the seventh Demon King, who is capable of overpowering the sixth Demon King, the Sword King, according to industry rules, some forces should relinquish a portion of their profits to the Crimson Copper Black Cross.
Otherwise, he won't hold back at all in the next competition.
In short, the stronger his backing, the greater his influence.
Even when he goes abroad on business, local organizations dare not neglect him, especially organizations like his that are loyal to a single king. Many countries would only choose to befriend him, especially those countries that do not yet have a king.
Of all the countries in the world, only six have a king.
Apart from these six countries, after the appearance of the disobedient god, they can only beg other countries' god-slayers to take action, which requires a considerable price.
The Demon King is like the supreme ruler of the country.
Lu Li looked at Erica and said, "Erica, now that things are settled, I'll head back."
Erica was a little reluctant, but she needed to get busy now because some things needed to be settled, otherwise her uncle alone couldn't handle it.
"Ah."
"If you encounter a problem you can't solve, call me."
"okay, I get it."
Erica smiled brightly when she heard Lu Li say that.
Lu Li is probably the only king who can be there for her whenever she calls and cares about her so much.
Erica wrapped her arms around Lu Li's neck and began to passionately kiss him.
Saber was a little startled by Erica's actions and quickly looked away.
After a while, their lips parted.
Saber's appearance made Erica feel somewhat threatened, especially since Saber's beauty was even better than hers.
And the fact that she could be with Lu Li anytime, anywhere made her even more envious.
Fortunately, Lu Li's care for her didn't diminish at all because of Saber's appearance, which already made her very satisfied.
Lu Li pressed the return button, and he was teleported back to the Fairy Tail world.
Erica smiled and said to Saber, "Saber, Lu Li really likes you! You should try your best too. A powerful man like the King won't only have one confidante. The sooner you win him over, the better. But I'll always be his first wife, hehe."
Saber blushed upon hearing Erica's words: "No... my relationship with Master isn't as good as Miss Erica thinks."
"You don't like Lu Li?"
"No... not..."
"That just means you like it!"
"...".
Chapter 150 The Holy Grail War Begins
Like it?
She wasn't sure, but a feeling she had never had for anyone else did indeed arise in her heart.
Is that feeling the same as liking someone?
At that moment, a tornado enveloped Saber, and Saber's body disappeared.
Seeing Saber leave, Erica's expression also turned serious.
"Uncle! There are some things that need to be settled."
"Of course!"
Although Lu Li doesn't care about power or anything like that, as Lu Li's woman, she wants to give the best of everything to the king, even if it's just this world.
Fairy Tail World
Saber appeared in front of Lu Li.
Seeing that Saber seemed a little distracted, Lu Li couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You seem distracted?"
Saber shook her head: "No, it's nothing. I was just a little shocked to see the battle between the Godslayers."
That Sword King is superior to me in both swordsmanship and strength. He truly deserves the title of Sword King. He is fully qualified to be called that.
"Hehe, that's mainly the power of authority. Otherwise, no matter how good his swordsmanship is, it won't be of much use in the face of an absolute power difference."
"Only after possessing power can the power of swordsmanship be multiplied."
Saber nodded upon hearing this, agreeing with Lu Li's statement.
"Yeah, we had a fight and we're a bit hungry. Let's cook something."
Upon hearing about cooking, Saber's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded.
On the first day of summoning Saber, Lu Li discovered that Saber was very interested in food.
In her words, she was too unlucky to enjoy delicious food in her previous life, so now she wants to enjoy it properly.
She is very interested in collecting various recipes and enjoys all kinds of cooking.
Furthermore, she has a very strong appetite, and her food intake is only slightly less than Lu Li's. She has a constitution that allows her to eat as much as she wants without gaining weight.
Just to cover Saber's personal food expenses, she needs to go on a mission every now and then.
Lu Li and Saber spend at least 150 million J per month on meals, which is about 10 RMB.
Although it was a bit extravagant, Lu Li didn't think it was a big deal; after all, money is meant to be spent.
If I could only eat instant noodles in my past life, I must eat and drink well in this life and never wrong myself in the slightest.
Moreover, although 150 million J is a lot, it is only one-tenth of the reward he gets for doing S-level missions.
One job is enough for him to eat for a year.
Saber usually takes care of Lu Li's daily life, just like a little wife.
However, when it comes to meals, apart from eating at the guild, Lu Li usually cooks at home.
As the saying goes, the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.
When it comes to food alone, Lu Li has completely won over Saber's stomach.
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, and Saber has completely fallen in love with life in the Fairy Tail guild.
Here she can be carefree, without the burden of being a king, and simply enjoy life.
Saber and Lu Li's relationship grew closer, and she could feel Lu Li's love for her. She didn't know if she had fallen in love with Lu Li.
But she knew that the happiest time of her life was when she was with Lu Li.
Even though she kept telling herself that she was the Queen of Great Britain and that her country and people were waiting for her to save them.
However, she could not stop herself from developing feelings for and becoming dependent on Lu Li.
On this day, Lu Li and Saber were enjoying a delicious meal.
Buzz————!
[Rin Tohsaka: "@Lu Li, Lu Li-nii, Dad said the seventh Master has appeared, and the Holy Grail War has officially begun."] (addi)
Lu Li frowned when he saw this message.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if he wanted that day to come.
He knew Saber's wish, but the Holy Grail couldn't fulfill it. What would Saber become then?
"What's wrong? What happened?"
When Saber saw Lu Li stop eating, she couldn't help but ask.
Lu Li looked up at Saber and chose to tell the truth: "The Holy Grail War has begun."
Saber was taken aback by what he heard, his expression shifting before he finally solidified his belief.
Whoosh!
Saber changed into her armor.
"Then let's set off, Master. I will win the Holy Grail for you and fulfill your wish."
Lu Li shook his head: "I'm not interested in the Holy Grail. What really interests me is you, Saber."
"..."
Saber fell silent upon hearing Lu Li's words. She also wanted to give up everything and live peacefully by Master's side in this world.
She had grown accustomed to the people and things of this world.
But no, she was the King of Knights, but she firmly believed that she was not fit to be king because she had not brought happiness and prosperity to the country during her reign.
Instead, internal strife continued, the land was abandoned, and many people were forced to become displaced.
She wanted to make a wish through the Holy Grail to return to the day the sword was pulled from the stone.
This time, she does not intend to pull out the sword from the stone and cease to be the Queen of Great Britain, so that a new king can be elected.
All she needs to do then is become a loyal knight and fight for her country, even at the cost of her life.
