418: How to deal with Isurna
Chapter 417: The Method to Deal with Isurna
As dawn approached, the two finally finished formulating the specific plan.
Isurna didn't want to wait any longer and planned to go find Luca III as soon as it was light, asking this Superville Emperor to help with the arrangements.
In terms of centralized authoritarian rule, although Luca III was not yet thirty years old, he did not do any worse than Emperor Kaiye, and was even better!
With just one command from Luca III, the entire empire would move from top to bottom, giving Dick full support to build momentum, so that his reputation could even temporarily overshadow Isurna!
As for whether Luca III would obediently cooperate, Dick wasn't worried at all, because this was proposed by Isurna!
Investigating Ryan's death and apprehending the murderer Apricot Lilli was to save face for the Superville army and give an explanation to the soldiers.
But besides this, the more important thing was actually to appease Isurna!
To outsiders, this Emperor's thoughts were incredibly complex and difficult to guess, but Dick knew Luca III too well; his every move was within expectation.
Throughout the entire Superville Empire, and even the entire Central Continent, no one understood Isurna's importance better than Luca III.
After all, several super powers had already contacted him.
The Sword Skill Association, the Adventurers Guild, the Elemental Alliance... when these top-tier powers all showed great interest in Isurna, even if he was stupid, Luca III should know how important she was.
Therefore, as long as Isurna wasn't plotting to usurp the throne, Luca III would basically agree to all her requests.
"Oh, right Dick, this matter is of great importance, and this plan revolves around you, so it's best to meet Her Majesty in person..."
Saying this, Isurna adjusted her long dress, slowly stood up, and said, "The Superville Imperial Palace is very far from the border, why don't you just take me with you by teleportation!"
Dick's previous teleportation was impressive. Not to mention penetrating over a dozen military barriers, just the fact of crossing millions of miles was stronger than all the spatial magic Isurna had ever seen!
Hearing this, Dick was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, this teleportation magic of mine is very strange, I can't control it at all, otherwise that previous blunder wouldn't have happened..."
Regarding the System's existence, Dick had not revealed it to anyone in his previous ninety-nine lives, not even the most trusted Isurna.
As his strongest trump card, and also the fundamental source of all his cheats, the System was the deepest secret in Dick's heart.
It seemed the System itself knew this. Whether it was the previous Strongest Hero System or the current strongest demon king system, both could hide their existence very well.
The various text boxes Dick saw in his vision were completely invisible to others when his memories were being peep, even to the highest rule-setting deities!
From this point, it could be seen that the System's priority was very high; at the very least, it was an existence equal to the world will.
"Dick, you must be honest," Isurna said, crossing her arms and her eyes sharp, "Only then can we cooperate for mutual benefit, otherwise you can only continue to be a suspect!"
Here it comes, here it comes again, Isurna's fatal intuition.
No matter the situation, no matter the person, no matter the words, she could always rely on her intuition to detect lies, and the accuracy was terrifyingly high!
This was an ability Dick found difficult to understand, beyond common sense, violating logic, and even Isurna herself couldn't explain it clearly.
Therefore, when needing to hide something from Isurna, he had to change his words and cleverly avoid lying.
"Frankly speaking, even I can't understand it," Dick said, spreading his hands with a sincere expression, "Teleporting from the Northern Region to the Central Region, I was also helpless..."
Isurna's narrow eyes slightly narrowed, then she suddenly leaned closer. Her captivating body fragrance instantly filled his nostrils, and beautiful past memories wildly assaulted Dick.
"Wrong! Although you're not lying, you're clearly still hiding something from me. Tell me the truth!"
Isurna was still closing in, and a rare trace of panic appeared on Dick's face. He subconsciously retreated, quickly hitting the edge of the military tent.
He, who had experienced countless women, was actually cornered against the wall!
At this moment, Dick looked more like a real 19-year-old boy, no longer displaying exquisite acting skills, but genuine emotions.
Isurna's flawless face was right in front of him. Dick urgently maxed out "Perfect Coordination" and "Eye Mark Calculation", forcing himself to regain composure.
Immediately after, Dick used "Absolute Will", "Debuff Resistance", and "Status Correction" to counteract Isurna's "fierce charm".
Not only that, but to be safe, Dick also quietly cast several enhancement spells to reduce various physical and mental reactions.
Under the combined effect of a series of ultimate talents and magic, Dick was able to regain his usual composure and began to think about countermeasures.
Fortunately, Isurna was wearing quite a bit; her collar extended to her neck, and her long dress covered her ankles, limiting her charm ability.
Otherwise, Dick would really have to consider whether to activate the "Silver Blessing Selection" and freeze time for ten minutes to buy some time, lest he reveal a flaw...
"Hmm?" Isurna's perception ability was extremely strong. She immediately drew her Lei Zi and said in a deep voice, "There's a magic power fluctuation. You were quietly casting a spell just now!"
Dick raised an eyebrow, held up his hands, and said truthfully, "I was casting a mental enhancement spell, and... and a spell to control blood flow!"
"Why would you do that? Could it be you wanted to ambush me?"
"Because you're too beautiful, Isurna!"
"?"
Dick mustered his courage, raised his head, and said word by word, "You suddenly got close and disturbed my mind. To avoid an impolite reaction, I was forced to do this!"
Saying this, Dick's gaze shifted downwards, looking at his little brother with a serious expression.
"!"
Isurna's pretty face flushed slightly. She quickly retreated a few steps and glared at Dick with shame and indignation.
However, Dick was self-righteous and met Isurna's gaze. The military tent fell into silence for a moment.
Half a minute later, Isurna's face was even redder. She finally gave in and turned her head away.
A strange feeling spread in Isurna's heart. Dick's direct and pure "expression" made her feel flustered; this was the first time in her life.
Thinking this, Isurna couldn't help but steal a glance out of the corner of her eye, but upon seeing that Dick was still looking at her straightforwardly, she awkwardly turned back around.
"Getting back to the main topic, you must know something else about spatial magic. Tell me everything!"
Facing Isurna's relentless questioning, Dick's lips curved into a smile. He pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Actually... every day I can teleport a random secret treasure within a one-kilometer radius into my hand!"
Since he couldn't lie, he would selectively reveal some truths, some very shocking truths!
"Interesting. As your direct superior, I order you to demonstrate it immediately!"
Hearing this, Dick nodded lightly, no longer making excuses, but silently activated a certain colored Blessing in his mind.
Come on, Payday III, do what you do best.
Dick extended his right hand forward, closed his eyes tightly, and a moment later, under Isurna's shocked gaze, the space in front of him twisted.
"Another silent spatial teleportation magic, without even a trace of magic power fluctuation. It's hard to imagine what kind of principle this is... Ah!!!"
Suddenly, Isurna knelt on the ground, pressing her hands tightly against her skirt, looking at Dick with surprise and uncertainty.
Looking at the purple four-cornered underpants on his palm, which were moderately warm, slightly wrinkled, soft, and clean.
