This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 147 - 139: The Attacked Girl

Chapter 147: Chapter 139: The Attacked Girl

The grocery store is structured with a shop at the front and a workshop at the back. Although the storefront is not big, the backyard is a large courtyard.

This is where Lette and his two companions have their temporary residence.

Originally, people like them, with ’noble status’, mostly lived in the Upper City District.

But his excuse to the outside world is that with the opening of the new store, many things require his personal attention. Once the store is on track, he can naturally sit back in the Upper City and enjoy life.

And the backyard of the grocery store has also become Lette’s daily workshop for forging all sorts of bizarre things and a storeroom.

Lette took the two ladies all the way to the storeroom and began showing them the strange creations here.

To be honest, Lilith and Emily were quite disappointed with what they saw.

The reason being, there was nothing special about these things.

Though there were quite a few magic devices, based on their impression of Lette, these didn’t fit the kind of things he would make.

These grocery items were so ordinary in appearance that they seemed out of place with him.

"Is this it, is this it?"

Lilith shook her head, "The stuff here isn’t as good as those things you imagined in your dreams."

Emily picked up one of the random items, "I never thought Mr. Lette would be at his most serious when inventing things.

But because it’s too normal, there’s a hint of abnormality to it, why is that?"

"There’s no one here, don’t call me ’Sir’.

I am currently your woman to entertain you, as if you are a noble heir."

Emily put her hands on her hips and said righteously, "I must always stay in character! Isn’t that what’s written in your ’The Actor’s Self-Cultivation’?"

"I’ve already told you, I only know the title of that book, the rest of the content is made up by me!"

Lilith blinked, suddenly hugging Lette’s arm, "Cousin~"

"What’s up, you want snail noodles?"

"Are they good?"

"Not really, and I won’t even give you a hundred bucks! Quit fooling around."

Lilith giggled, covering her mouth, "What are you afraid of? With all this thick fog, even Joanna can’t see if she wants to. Don’t be so tense~"

"Ridiculous! Am I afraid of her seeing? Joanna wouldn’t mind these things!"

"That’s true..."

Lilith lost interest immediately, letting go of Lette’s arm, "But, once I get my body back, she won’t be so carefree anymore."

Lette said nothing, as he knew that in Joanna’s eyes, only the fully recovered Lilith would be truly threatening.

Emily casually picked up a pink item, "Hey, this magic device looks so strange. I’ve never seen it, what’s it for?"

"Oh, this! Look, here is the air outlet, this is the magic engine, and here’s the heating module."

Emily’s eyes lit up, "Oh, it’s for blowing hot air? It seems... it could be used to dry hair after a bath.

That would indeed be convenient. I didn’t expect you’d actually invent something useful?"

Lette chuckled and took the magic blow dryer, turning it on.

"Although it looks like a blow dryer, it’s actually a razor."

Saying this, he began to shave with it.

"...Why!"

"For disguise! Make others think you’re drying hair but suddenly start shaving! Create mental confusion for them!

And by pressing this button, it will explode."

Emily picked up another magic device, "Hey! This one looks more like a razor!"

Lette took the razor and pressed it lightly, the razor head started spinning wildly, blowing out hot air.

"You see it as a razor, but it’s actually a blow dryer! And by pressing this button, it will explode."

"Are you crazy!?"

"Do you have medicine?"

"I actually do! Want some?"

"How much do you have?"

"How much will you take?"

"I’ll take as much as you have!"

"I have as much as you’ll take!"

Lilith hurriedly stood between the two, "I’ve got to understand your crazy creative process, but can you explain why both of these things explode?"

"It’s for protection!"

"Who uses a blow dryer and razor for protection?"

"People prone to attacks while shaving or drying their hair?"

"Why is that a question! You’re not even sure yourself!"

Lette pounded his chest, "But, explosion is art! I just want to add a bit of artistic touch to these creations! What’s wrong with that!

The wrong thing is this society! This world!"

Emily picked up a magic kettle next to her, "What about this then? It looks like it’s for boiling water, but actually..."

"Actually, it’s still a razor. And by the way, it also explodes."

Emily held the kettle with a serious expression, "Where’s the switch? Where’s the switch for the explosion, today I’m going to take you down with me!"

Lilith rubbed her forehead, "Even I, a Demon, find it absurd. Is there anything here that doesn’t explode?"

"There is!"

Lette ran over and grabbed a black box, placing it in front of the two, "This, definitely won’t explode."

"What is it?"

"A bomb!"

Lilith flapped her wings and flew up, wrapping her arms around Lette’s head, gently stroking his hair.

"Looks like being away from Joanna for too long has made you miss her so much it messed up your head. Be good, I’ll coax you to sleep tonight."

"Lilith."

"Hmm?"

"You’re squishing me."

"...Emily, activate all the bombs, I’m going down with him too! Emily?"

Emily, looking at all the strange creations on the table, suddenly clapped her hands.

"I get it! You did it on purpose!"

"Of course he did it on purpose!"

Lilith, fuming, rode on Lette’s neck, furiously grabbing at his hair, "Go bald, you stinky man!"

"No, no, no! He purposely did these twisted things. Lette, you want to become a part of Harbor City’s urban legends! Right!"

Lette finally revealed a satisfied smile, "Ding ding ding! Congratulations, you guessed it."

Lilith was taken aback for a moment, then finally reacted.

"You want to compete with The Liar Demon for power?"

Lette’s expression became a lot prouder, "Of course! He can create all sorts of panic and irrationality in this city, trying to use such unorthodox methods to sink the entire Harbor City into the Dream Realm.

If he can do it, why can’t I?

His abnormalities can freely shuttle between the Inner Sea Port City and True Harbor City, why can’t we?

We have to fight magic with magic, counter secrets with secrets.

If he can create weirdness, so can I.

If I make things more insane, more bizarre, stranger than all his abnormalities.

Then I! Will become the Controller of this grand real dream presentation!

There’s no reason to hand over the dominance!

If he can go, so can I!"

Buzz!

The Sin Light Greatsword reappeared autonomously, radiating a powerful energy wave.

Emily, although she didn’t understand the meaning of Lette’s final words, felt a sudden urge to worship for some reason.

Lette struggled to put the Sin Light away again, then picked up the non-exploding bomb.

"In short, we must attack The Liar Demon from multiple angles.

The Blood and Flesh God Sect is my ballast.

As long as there are people from the Divine Sect, he can’t quickly sink Harbor City into the Dream Realm.

Moreover, as the Blood and Flesh God Sect grows stronger, the city will become more stable.

Meanwhile, we can use the reliable grocery store to directly raid his home! Seize the initiative.

Let’s see him fight with me!?

I will make sure he knows the consequences of crossing me!"

Emily was very excited upon hearing this, "I knew it, Mr. Lette, you must have a plan!"

"Don’t call me ’Sir’!"

"Okay, Sir, no problem, Sir! Now, Mr. Lette, where’s the Holy Artifact Embryo you prepared for me?"

Lette reached down and pulled out a black iron rod, dropping it onto the table with a clang.

"Here, this will be your magic wand from now on!"

Emily’s eye twitched, mouth twitching too, and it took her a while to extend a trembling hand, pointing at the slightly upturned end of the iron rod.

"What is this?"

"Physics Holy Sword! Its nickname is the crowbar."

Lette picked up the crowbar, went to a nailed-shut wooden crate, and demonstrated how to quickly and efficiently use the crowbar to pry open the nailed-shut crate.

Then, using the crowbar, nailed the pried nails back in with a couple of bangs.

Clang, Lette tossed the crowbar back onto the table.

"Handy, isn’t it?"

"It’s handy, and very versatile in every way. But what does this have to do with magic!"

Emily pointed at the crowbar, "And most importantly! This thing! Should be the Sacrificial Artifact of the Blood and Flesh God Sect!

It fits perfectly!

If you used it as a Sacrificial Artifact, its compatibility would be high!

If those muscular believers used it, its power would be even more astounding!

Why give it to me as a magic wand!

It’s completely wrong!"

Lette spread his arms, "Aren’t you the Demon Extermination Witch? This is the Physics Holy Sword, absolutely denying magic.

Moreover, this sword is a blade for cutting down all phantasms and eerie tales!

Anything that defies logic! Will receive the special attack of the Physics Holy Sword!

Go ahead, feel it."

Emily, half-doubtful, gripped the crowbar, heavy but manageable.

"This is!"

Emily had always thought Lette was tricking her, but upon holding the crowbar, she indeed felt a certain resonance with herself.

"So weird... why?"

Lette rubbed his chin, saying nothing. Lilith, seeing this, was also thoughtful but said nothing since Lette didn’t.

"Doesn’t it feel fitting, don’t judge by appearances, but the materials are high quality ore and various magic materials."

"Really?"

"Of course, this was smelted from all the scraps of every creation! It’s very commemorative!"

"...Can I use it to pry open your head to see what’s inside?"

Emily itched to try, while Lilith held onto Lette’s head, ready to help.

"Is anyone here... The door was open, so I came in... Excuse me! Is Miss Emily here?"

Suddenly, a girl’s voice came from the courtyard.

The three exchanged glances, and Lette nodded at Emily.

"Someone’s looking for you."

"Strange, I don’t have any acquaintances in Harbor City, I’ll go check..."

Emily put down the crowbar and turned to leave the warehouse, with Lette and Lilith quickly following her out.

"It’s you!"

Upon seeing the visitor, Emily hurriedly called out to Lette and Lilith.

"Mr. Lette, look! She’s the girl who was almost killed by the Mist Murderer!"
