This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Chapter 241: Chapter 227: Dive, Keep Diving

Harbor City, having just experienced a great battle, desperately needed rest.

The people, completely unaware of what transpired, deserved reassurance even more.

Lette chose not to launch a high-profile offensive on the deep sea trench, but instead went lightly with Unica and Pinocchio.

Departing from the harbor, they reached their target location as quickly as possible, and then continued to dive to the ocean floor.

A powerful Holy Light Shield radiated from Lette, protecting both Unica and the puppet.

The group continued to sink down ceaselessly through the ocean.

The beautiful seascape captivated Unica, as it was her first time diving into the ocean.

Meanwhile, Pinocchio was still pondering over what Lette had told him earlier, trying to understand how to use Pinocchio’s powers.

For this purpose, he had gone to borrow the Complete Fairy Tales from Emily and diligently studied Pinocchio.

"Boss! I see that in Pinocchio, he also fell into the sea and got swallowed by a whale.

So, is that why you wanted to bring me along?

Is this part of your scheme?"

Lette looked at him exasperatedly: "So a part of my plan is to throw you to some giant whale during the expedition against the God of the Sea deep in the ocean?

I beg you, don’t just skim the surface content, it makes you look superficial.

You need to grasp the deeper meaning between the lines to understand the central idea the author wants to convey! Comprehend the spirit!

Didn’t you do reading comprehension before?"

"No..."

"Then keep reading."

Hearing Lette’s words, The Liar Demon was quite annoyed, but because he couldn’t beat Lette, he chose to endure.

After flipping through the book for a while, The Liar Demon asked again: "I see in the story that Pinocchio turned into a donkey because he was playful.

So..."

"So what does being playful turning into a donkey have to do with you, The Liar Demon?!

Can you focus on the legitimate parts?"

Lette snatched the Complete Fairy Tales away, shaking the book: "The core of this story is about Pinocchio transforming from a talking and moving puppet to a real boy.

If you want to comprehend Pinocchio’s ability, you better pay attention to this part.

Study it carefully, think it over cautiously, and refine it wholeheartedly."

The Liar Demon nodded repeatedly, but his face was full of confusion.

Lette shook his head helplessly and handed the book to the obedient and adorable Unica sitting beside him.

Unexpectedly, Unica didn’t put the book away but instead got interested as well.

She reached out and turned to the Daughter of the Sea Chapter and began to study it carefully.

Encased within the Holy Light Shield, the three continued to descend further.

The surrounding beautiful marine view gradually became eerie and terrifying, frightening at just a glance.

The Liar Demon, standing next to Lette, couldn’t help but marvel at the murky deep sea.

"Strange, theoretically, we’re so bright that we should be a dazzling star in the deep-sea world.

Those deep-sea monsters should be rushing over to swallow us whole."

Lette was speechless at his words: "I say, Mr. Pinocchio, is there a possibility that perhaps our group is actually quite powerful?

The monsters of the Divine Sea are scared away just by our presence.

Do you really want to be swallowed by a gigantic whale, or have you contracted Emily’s syndrome?"

"Alright! I really can’t comprehend the true intention of this story. I give up.

Boss, could you just tell me, please?"

Lette sighed helplessly as he looked at him.

"Telling you won’t help you in the slightest. It’s like I thoroughly explain the features of an alchemical-driven sports car.

Yet an apprentice who has never touched a steering wheel still can’t drive.

But since you’re my employee, I’ll give you a little hint as to the standard answer."

After careful consideration, Lette decided to give The Liar Demon a little more help.

After all, this was a battle against the Ancient Sea God in the endless deep sea.

Even though there’s a clear disparity in power, to prevent any unexpected turns, enhancing the strength of accompanying people was indeed necessary.

"At the end of the story, Pinocchio saved his father and passed the blue robed fairy’s test.

Finally, with the help of the blue robed fairy, he completely transformed from a little puppet into a little boy.

But have you ever thought that a puppet boy is, in itself, a tremendous lie?

Just a few pieces of wood and nails not only moved and spoke like a real person but ultimately became a real human.

So Pinocchio itself is a lie.

But in the end, the lie came true.

A lie that comes true, is it still a lie?

You, the Liar Demon, enjoy weaving lies and then covering up old lies with new ones.

In this way, lies become like a string of grapes, multiplying over time.

In the end, they completely crush the branch and fall to the ground shattering to pieces.

So your lies are quite low-level because from the start of their existence, they’re destined to fail.

However, in this world, there are many successful lies, some lies that are ultimately realized.

A lie can be pierced but can also become the truth.

When the lie is no longer a lie, perhaps you could discover new uses for your abilities."

With that, Lette pointed a finger at Pinocchio’s nose.

"Like today, if you lie that the eggs are three dollars and twenty cents per pound, and by some twist of fate, the eggs really become three dollars and twenty cents per pound.

Does your nose get longer or shorter?"

After hearing Lette’s words, The Liar Demon seemed to catch a glimpse of inspiration, but it faded away quickly.

Nevertheless, it was a very good beginning.

Finally, amidst the pitch-black darkness, Lette led Unica down to the ocean floor.

"Lette, I seem to sense something."

Unica immediately pinpointed the presence and informed Lette instantly: "If I’m not mistaken, Gretel is not far away.

If she still is Gretel, that is."

Lette reached out and patted her head: "Don’t worry, she’ll be alright.

After all, half of the Witch Power is not to be trifled with. If the Sea God wanted to target her, it might trigger the emergency measures set by the Tower of Truth back then.

At that point, who knows what might happen?

With the enemy ahead, the Ocean God might not have the courage."

As expected, just as Lette anticipated, after they descended, a figure emerged from a giant shell in the deep sea.

"You really followed me here!"

"Yes, I must completely take you down to sleep soundly."

As he spoke, Lette stepped out from the Protective Holy Light. With a swift motion, he created a survival space for both Unica and Pinocchio.

Lette stretched lazily in the deep sea water: "Don’t leave the circle I drew for you, wait here while I get you some offerings."
