The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 76

“Even if you don’t speak, no one will treat you like a mute.” Euphia sneered, “Moreover, attacking me won’t change the fact that you are envious and jealous.”

Egbert didn’t admit it, turning his face away and saying, “This isn’t called envy and jealousy, I’m just simply stating the facts. In terms of strength, if it was one-on-one between me and Lucien, I would only need half the time you used to defeat him.”

“Even if you’re boasting, you should at least have rehearsed it first. Do you really think I’m unaware of the power and training environment within the Church of Light?” Euphia disdained.

“The manuals for cultivating the Light elements in the library of the Church of Light have long since become mass-produced books. Everyone who enters the Church of Light needs to learn those things, and after accumulating over time, even if we have to admit that the attack methods in those books are very powerful, we have to say that they are all too similar.”

“When people of the same type fight together, who doesn’t understand each other? If you go down and fight with Lucien, it might not be as fast as fighting with Lan Zhe to determine the winner.”

Euphia reasonably refuted Egbert. “Admit it, your insignificant heart is just jealous of the fact that I am favored by Su Li.”

Egbert: …

“So what if it is?” Egbert admitted.

“Of course it doesn’t matter, but just seeing that you can’t stand me, yet can’t get rid of me, makes me happy.” Euphia’s mentality had already reached the level where if Egbert was unhappy, she would be happy, back when they were in Jisuo Town.

The support suddenly rushed out to unleash his full power, forcing the damage dealer to become the support, which was enough for Euphia to curse Egbert never to be able to get close to Su Li in this life, to be patted on the head and so on…

Next life then!

As for Su Li.

Cyril elbowed his shoulder and quietly asked, “How did you do it?”

“What do you mean?” Su Li was puzzled.

“I mean, Egbert and Euphia were about to fight, but they didn’t involve you at all, and didn’t come to disturb you or anything.”

“Well…” Su Li didn’t know himself.

But even if a so-called battlefield was born, Su Li wouldn’t feel any sense of oppression.

Facing everything calmly until the end of life – this is the goal Su Li has always hoped to achieve.

So he calmly told Cyril, “Probably because if they fought and the slightest ripple hit me, they would have to clean up my corpse.”

So, those who often go to the small building, or live in the small building, have a tacit understanding that they won’t fight in front of Su Li.

Because as long as Su Li loses a single hair, the daily fights will be upgraded to life-and-death battles.

On this, Cyril could only give a big thumbs up, without another word.

He did not intend to participate in the suddenly lively atmosphere, and actively asked Su Li, “When you just asked about the commander of the Amikbi soldiers, did you have any other thoughts?”

“It’s not so much a thought, but I just feel that the person behind the current situation is somewhat terrifying,” Su Li said candidly.

Qi said, “But I didn’t see you showing any fear.”

Su Li didn’t respond to Qi’s words, only saying, “I asked who the commander is, just to know how the other side is thinking.”

“Euphia alone has caused the deaths of more than ten Knights of Light and a Patriarch. The Church will only think the losses are too heavy. Therefore, after that, the Church will definitely first force the controller of the Amikbi soldiers to send troops before sending anyone else.”

Otherwise, this alliance would be meaningless.

“And if we can identify the true identity of the commander in advance, it will be very easy to infer the general attack strategy of the Amikbi soldiers in the subsequent reaction.”

“Now the number of soldiers is still too small, with only more than 2,000 people, compared to the hundreds of thousands in a city, it’s really just like a joke.”

Su Li sighed.

“Moreover, there was also a saying before that a top-tier powerhouse can resist an entire city. Now that there is not even a main guide among the soldiers, I find it difficult not to deeply ponder the reason for their appearance here in this number.”

“If their value is to decide to die, so that the later royal family can send a large army to surround the city more openly, not only does it make no sense, but it will also make people feel sick.”

“If not, then these more than 2,000 people as the fastest moving ones, how many soldiers will there be as reinforcements behind them, all of which need to be considered.”

Su Li scratched his face, tilting his head slightly and said, “The letter Willard sent has a rough estimate of Ophelia’s strength. It can’t be said to be very weak, only that it is not much different from Cyril. If we can determine the direction she is in advance and find the opportunity to capture the king first to catch the thieves, there is a good chance to avoid the threat brought by Xiao Zuo under her control.”

(TL: 擒贼先擒王 capture the king first to catch the thieves=Chinese proverb emphasizing the strategy of targeting the leader or central figure to disrupt and weaken an entire group)

“What is truly terrifying is not being besieged, nor being hung with all kinds of evil labels, but the phenomenon where you are killed without even a chance to resist, leaving only a corpse.”

Su Li didn’t mind telling Qi his thoughts, because after knowing the existence of Ophelia, the royal family, it was like they were openly saying that they were very complex.

If this complexity could be understood in advance, then no matter whether he chooses to return to the Inner City in the future or continue to stay in Sadina City, he could judge in advance which option is better for himself.

Su Li finished speaking and realized that he had unconsciously paved the way for the child again.

He coughed lightly, trying to ease the embarrassment.

At the same time, the originally almost-to-fight Euphia and Egbert completely ignored the distant Lan Zhe, who was saying, “Just fight yourselves, why drag me into it?”

Egbert took the initiative to say, “If we can confirm the location of the commander of the other side, I request to carry out this assassination mission, after all, among us, my strength is still decent.”

Those who were “not decent enough” by this map-wide attack: …..

Roy, who was originally leaning against the city wall, suddenly stood up, his expression fierce as he said, “Haha, you’re really something, you can even say that, stepping on everyone else while boasting about yourself, do you have any shame? Moreover, where are you putting the raven?”

The raven was now perched on Su Li’s shoulder, but due to its low presence and not turning into a human form, it was actually ignored by everyone.

The Lion’s Club leader also joined the fun. “In terms of assassination skills, although I’m no longer young, I’ve also experienced hundreds of assassination missions in the past.”

“Egbert, you don’t think that just killing everyone who sees you is a perfect assassination, do you? In the field of assassination, strength is not the standard for absolute victory. For mercenaries, even a first-class mercenary can kill a ‘strong’ person like you if they find the opportunity.”

Lan Zhe mocked even more. “Going to assassinate while wearing Light elements and looking like you have a light bulb on your head wherever you go… Haha, I really doubt my own eyes.”

Raven: “Caw…” Then you go, leave Su Li to me.

Euphia directly laughed. “Haha, I didn’t expect everyone to say what I was going to say.”

Egbert: Tsk…

Su Li was helpless about this: “Pre-emptively eliminating the commander of the opposing side is just a possibility that exists in fantasy, this kind of idea can’t be realized.”

“Isn’t it only natural for a strong person to protect their own weaknesses?” Su Li raised his arm to let everyone see the various runes on it.

Dressed up like this, Su Li truly realized how much everyone was afraid of his death.

Therefore, in the situation where Xiao Zuo could possess the strength to assassinate the Alliance Guild Master, Su Li also guessed that he might be targeted by Ophelia as well.

The information given by Willard’s letter was only intelligence, and there was no description of Ophelia’s personality, but her act of sending Xiao Zuo to assassinate actually also allowed him to infer that she was not the type to care about human life.

Su Li thought more and more. “Retirement life, why is it so difficult…”

For a salted fish like him, it seemed wrong from any angle.

The raven blinked its eyes, no longer just acting as a decoration, and softly said, “Perhaps this is the inevitable experience of the participants, different from the onlookers.”

Su Li felt inexplicably comforted, and nodded.

Then Su Li said, “Given the current situation, there shouldn’t be any major changes within a day, so before the enemy’s commander officially shows up, everyone should rest well and be in the best state to face tomorrow.”

With that, Su Li got up and chose to return to the small building. That place was the place he had stayed the longest since coming to this world, and it was also the most suitable place for him to think about things.

Only the adults left on the city wall did not realize that when Su Li and Cyril returned to the small building, Su Li almost immediately collapsed to the ground as soon as he stepped into the house.

Cyril was startled and hurriedly reached out to support him, only to find that Su Li’s face was as pale as before when he was sick in Jisuo Town, even worse.

With Su Li’s upper body held by Cyril, the raven’s anxious cawing in his ear, Su Li turned to Mark—who had been sent back by the Lion Club’s leader due to his not-so-impressive strength and said, “Help me, get a trash can.”

The next moment, Su Li tightly covered his own mouth.

Cyril was immediately at a loss. “What’s wrong with you? What should I do?!”

Su Li couldn’t say a word.

His stomach was now rolling to the point of being comparable to a car-sick person who had been forced to sit in a car for more than ten hours.

The food refluxing up the esophagus was blocked in the throat. But due to the insignificant self-esteem of an adult, he was not allowed to just vomit on the ground.

Until Mark brought the trash can, Su Li no longer suppressed himself and simply vomited.

When his stomach was completely empty, Su Li took the handkerchief Mark hastily brought out and replaced his palm to press against the corner of his mouth, and in a muffled voice said to Cyril, “Could you please get me a cup of water.”

Cyril, who now felt ashamed of his own stupidity in facing the sudden situation, said loudly, “There’s no need to be polite at a time like this.”

He then rushed into the kitchen.

Until Su Li had cleaned up, his hand holding the cup of water still trembling slightly, he exhaled a deep breath, and was finally able to answer Mark’s question of “What’s wrong with you?”
