This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 181 - 172: Little Sister Arrives, Counterattack Begins!

Chapter 181: Chapter 172: Little Sister Arrives, Counterattack Begins!

Early the next morning, an energetic Lette brought a sleepless Emily and Unica to wait outside the city gates of Harbor City.

To welcome Alice, Lette even skipped the morning ritual of the Flesh Church today.

After all, he had already established a clear and reasonable organizational structure for the Church; it was time to let it develop on its own.

Next, he could focus on organizing the counterattack.

For the past half month, he had been restrained in Harbor City, feeling very stifled.

The arrival of Alice also signaled the time to finally make a big move!

"Why hasn’t she arrived yet..."

Despite not sleeping all night, Emily was still very energetic, sporadically standing on her toes to look out.

In contrast, Unica seemed vacant-eyed, with stiff limbs, and a perplexed look about her.

Lette glanced at her, "What’s the situation? Only learned for half the night, and she looks like she lost her mind."

Emily supported the wobbly Unica, "Well, the teaching style of that mermaid princess might be a bit problematic.

Others usually teach from beginner to proficiency, from shallow to deep.

But Gretel, well, she has a high talent, but unlike you, she isn’t good at teaching others.

She lectures all over the place, says whatever comes to mind, with no systematic order.

Mixing the principles of alchemy with the history of alchemy development, along with the practice and application of alchemy, even highlighting a hundred differences between Sea Clan alchemy and Human Clan alchemy...

With such a large pot of topics, even I, with some foundational knowledge, couldn’t digest it all.

Much less poor Unica."

Emily suddenly clapped her hands, "Remember the time we left Holy Tower Town to the Holy City?"

"You mean when you were learning the Element Absorption Technique?"

"Yes! That kind of feeling, with my brain stuffed with too much knowledge to understand, almost breaking down!"

Emily leaned closer to Unica’s head to sniff, "Hmm! That’s right! That’s the smell!"

"What smell?"

"The smell of a brain being burned!"

Lette rolled his eyes, "Stop talking about her, how is your study going?"

Emily tilted her head, "You had me stay last night to study, wasn’t it to monitor those two?"

Hearing this, Unica immediately stood up straight.

"Monitor us? Why?"

Lette raised an eyebrow, "You two are in a special situation; I don’t feel at ease leaving you alone together.

After all, in fairy tales, the Sea Witch and the Little Mermaid aren’t exactly friends.

You are better...

But Gretel, she has too many unresolved mysteries.

For your safety, I installed a warning device in the warehouse.

Only then I could sleep soundly."

Lette glanced at Unica, "After studying all night, did you gain anything?"

"The only insight is that this world is indeed wondrous."

Unica clenched her fists, "So many magical methods, if they could be used for crime-solving and maintaining public order! Then..."

Lette shook his head, "The more extraordinary it is, the more you must learn to revere the ordinary, respect the ordinary.

Using power arbitrarily to change the normal operation mechanism of things often leads to disastrous outcomes.

Of course, I’m not saying you can’t use those extraordinary methods.

But be careful, try to minimize the impact on ordinary life."

Unica looked at Lette, half-understanding, her eyes filled with confusion.

Lette sighed, "Have you ever seen a bustling marketplace crowded with people?"

"Harbor City was bustling in those years."

"Let me ask you, if you walked into a crowd with a peerless Holy Sword that cuts iron like mud, what would you feel?"

Unica shivered, "Is there a scabbard?"

"You see, in this situation, you know to have a scabbard. But the destructiveness of extraordinary power is higher than a precious sword."

Unica suddenly widened her eyes, took a deep breath, and solemnly bowed to Lette.

"Thank you, Mr. Wright. Your words today will benefit me for a lifetime.

If it weren’t for your guidance, who knows, in the future, I might actually... wield a sharp blade in a crowd, unaware of it.

If by then I made an irrevocable mistake, I..."

Lette helped her up, "I do appreciate your sense of justice and responsibility. You will make a good detective!"

Seeing Lette praising Unica, Emily pouted and clung to Lette’s arm, "I’ve been trying hard too, I’ve almost reached the threshold of the Holy Rank!"

"Let me tell you, you’ve been touching that threshold for over a month. If you keep touching it like this, it’ll have a patina.

Thresholds aren’t there to be touched; they’re meant to be crossed!

Why do you keep touching it, are you trying to develop feelings for it?"

"Ugh..."

Seeing Emily’s eyes getting red, Lette realized he might have gone too far and quickly reached out to rub her head.

"But, I’m glad you understood my reason for keeping you here last night.

Your IQ may not have much hope, but your emotional intelligence is thriving!"

"Wah..."

Emily couldn’t hold it anymore, hugging Unica next to her and crying.

Unica could only pat her back while smiling wryly at Lette.

"Mr. Wright, you have a unique way of praising people."

"Wah wah wah... When Alice arrives, I’m going to tell her you bullied me!"

Lette panicked, "Hey hey hey! That’s not fair! Complaining is a bad habit! Ahem, well, it’s my fault, I apologize!

Is that okay?"

"Wah wah... I won’t complain, but..."

Emily suddenly stretched out her hand, "You need to give me a Magic Crystal Card!"

"You’re asking for a lot! When did you become so money-hungry?"

Emily turned her head, her eyes teary, "Ever since I learned that a Purple Gold Magic Crystal Card can only support ten uses of Elemental Armor."

Lette shook his head, rummaged through his sleeve, and pulled out two Blue Gold Magic Crystal Cards.

"Here, these are Blue Gold, a million Gold Marks each. For you, it’s usable once.

And this one, Unica, you take it.

Consider it as event expenses or regular training money.

Alchemists, among all mage professions, tend to be the most expensive."

Unica was evidently shocked, "This! How can this be! Such a large sum of money!"

Emily quickly took one card, her eyes sneaking peeks at the other, "Actually, last night I listened all night, Sea Clan alchemy doesn’t require buying materials."

Lette shot her a look before quickly handing the card to Unica.

"Take it; it’s what we confiscated from the treasure spot at the Tower of Truth a few days ago.

Not even a thousand Magic Crystal Cards could compensate for a witch’s curse.

Spend this money without any guilt."

Hearing Lette say this, Unica finally accepted the Blue Gold Magic Crystal Card.

"Thank you, I’ll make good use of it."

Just as the three were chatting, the sound of hooves became clearer from afar. Lette looked out to see a carriage escorted by a team of knights slowly approaching the city gate.

"Here they come!"

Emily excitedly shook Lette’s arm, and even Unica couldn’t help but stand on tiptoe to look.

"Calm down, you’re the older sister here."

"Oh oh! Right!"

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of Lette and the others. Knight Captain Kaelster dismounted and knelt on one knee to salute.

"My Lord, we have arrived."

"Thank you for your efforts, Kaelster."

"May the Holy Light Goddess bless us, mission accomplished!"

The carriage door opened, and a tall, silver-haired, gold-eyed beauty stepped down, holding a delicate, cute blonde girl.

"Boss..."

"Mm."

Lette, knowing her angel identity, didn’t engage much and shifted his gaze to the Alice in her arms.

"Alice, still sleeping?"

"Yes, she was so happy last night she didn’t sleep until very late. Didn’t expect..."

As they spoke, Alice’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she gradually opened her eyes.

Having already met in the Dream Realm, Alice immediately recognized Lette.

"Lette, brother?!"

"Alice, did you sleep well?"

Alice looked a bit bashful, her cheeks flushed with a smile. Emily immediately rushed over to greet her.

"Alice sister!"

"Emily sister! You came to pick me up too?"

"Alice, I missed you so much!"

Emily reached out to hug Alice. The angel looked at Lette, and seeing him nod slightly, she let go.

"Emily, be careful with her."

"Don’t worry, I know."

Emily waved her hand, and a gust of wind surrounded Alice, lifting her gently.

The no-chant spellcasting left Kaelster utterly stunned.

The Knight Captain of the small remote country remembered her level from two months ago.

And now, she’d become so powerful in such a short time?

Kaelster couldn’t help but look at Lette; the Holy Sin Lord was truly a miraculous person.

With the protection of the wind, Alice’s leg ailment was no longer a problem. She first experienced walking freely in the real world, giggling as Emily entertained her.

"My Lord, what do we do next?"

"Since you’re here, don’t leave for now. I’m very short-handed lately."

"Ah? Alright!"

"Oh, by the way, how is the situation between the First Empire and the Church now?"

"The situation isn’t optimistic. The Church has declared Vanessa’s crimes and demanded the First Empire to confess its own evidence and accept the Church’s investigation and punishment.

But on the First Empire’s side, they’ve found many excuses to shirk.

Political matters with endless wrangling are troublesome.

However, this time, the stance of the Holy City is firm. The First Empire finds itself struggling to hold on; a resolution of war or surrender is expected next month."

Lette chuckled twice, "I reckon it’s surrender, but only on the surface. For the First Empire, this matter is about dragging it out as long as possible."

"Then what should we do? Should I send a message back, conveying your intent?"

"No, let them continue to delay."

Lette’s eyes shone with light, "Wiping out a mere First Empire isn’t difficult. But if war breaks out at this time, it won’t help me eradicate the Liar Demon here.

The First Empire was never the threat, the Liar Demon is.

If they like to stall, let them stall.

This way, before the two sides break all ties, the First Empire is still a Holy Belonging.

You go to the cathedral in Sides City near Harbor City to station, then secretly gather forces, ready to respond to my call at any time."

"Alright! No problem!"

"Also..."

Lette took out a blueprint, "Find skilled craftsmen to build this, and install it on the highest building of the cathedral.

I need you to be my signal relay station."
