"A red stone tablet…"
After hearing Alessia's words, Grimm couldn't recall what it was for a while. The key was that he had been in this world for too long. Grimm had almost integrated into this world, as if he were originally from here. He didn't remember many of the intricate details from the original story very clearly.
However, the fact that the World Government desired it indicated the importance of this item.
"Take me there, soldier."
Grimm stood up and asked, no longer wanting to stay here for even a moment!
"You… you don't understand the importance of this thing at all. Are you really going to oppose the World Government?" Grimm asked incredulously, almost thinking Grimm was an idiot.
The World Government would spare no effort to destroy a country to obtain something. It was a very troublesome existence.
Wasn't this young man afraid of getting burned?
"The World Government? Heh, hurry up and take me there. You know, I'm a wanted criminal. In your words, I'm a pirate."
Grimm stood up and walked towards the door, then abruptly pushed it open.
As a member of the Etkexay Kingdom's army, Alessia naturally understood what kind of person Grimm was. He was known as one of the "Below Legend" figures, second only to Roger, Whitebeard, and other super pirates. His head was constantly being watched by the World Government.
Following him would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.
Don't forget, she was still "Alia." The reason the World Government hadn't discovered she was "Alessia" was precisely because they hadn't investigated her. If she acted with Grimm, the World Government would definitely dig up her entire past. If her true identity were discovered, she would be completely finished.
Although her kingdom's destruction ten years ago had already led the World Government to declare her "dead," she didn't doubt the World Government's investigative capabilities.
"Hey, wait a minute! Listen to me!" Alessia mustered the courage to grab Grimm's collar and quickly explained her worries.
Grimm remained silent for a few seconds, contemplating whether to use the "Redemption" skill on this woman. If she turned into a ghoul, it would be bad. After thinking about it, Grimm used a compromise method.
Suddenly, Grimm grabbed her right hand and pulled hard. Alessia's red lips were directly pressed against Grimm's mouth. She felt a scorching airflow continuously entering her body, and a burning sensation, almost like being scalded, in her throat.
Finally, after three seconds, the burning sensation disappeared. However, she felt as if something had been added to her mind, and she knew clearly that this thing was called "Holy Light."
"What did you do to me?" Alessia's beautiful eyes widened instantly, looking at Grimm in confusion.
Grimm's hand flashed with holy light again and touched her forehead. A "Holy Light Cross," representing a Paladin, appeared on her forehead. The holy light flashed and disappeared.
"You are indeed still a virgin. The Holy Light has taken effect within you. You have become the first [Saintess] personally chosen by the great Holy Light in this world. With this Holy Cross Seal, you will not only be able to slowly comprehend the Holy Light but also receive its protection wherever you go."
"What do you mean?" Alessia was even more confused.
"Simply put, I have bestowed upon you a new power. However, no matter where you go, I will be able to sense your location until the day you die!"
Alessia shook her head and immediately felt a sense of humiliation from being monitored. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're going too far!"
"The weak have no freedom! Your country was destroyed by the World Government precisely because it was too weak!" Grimm's lips curled.
"Go, go to the Kingdom of Concordia, find that stone tablet, and then contact me through the Holy Light (chat system) with your divine sense. Don't worry, you are now protected by the Holy Light, and we are on the same boat!"
Grimm said with a smile. Alessia felt a surge of anger. This was an order, disguised with pleasant words. But could she perhaps use him?
Alessia thought about her strength and influence. By the time she died, she probably wouldn't even be a match for a single strand of hair of the World Government.
But this man before her, who didn't seem much older than her, had managed to join the ranks of the world's top pirates and become a thorn in the World Government's side.
If she used him, could she avenge her country and her father? Perhaps he could truly overthrow the World Government?
Great Holy Light! Please help me!
Alessia began to pray. Suddenly, she noticed something was wrong. Why was she praying to the Holy Light?
In just half a minute, countless thoughts flashed through Alessia's mind.
Finally, Alessia decided to seize this opportunity. Rather than spending her life in futile regret, she might as well take a gamble.
Holy Light?
With that thought, Alessia said, "Alright, I can help you get the stone tablet. But after that, if anything happens, you must help me!"
"It is not I who can help you, but the great Holy Light. You must remember this!" Grimm smiled!
Alessia suddenly felt much better and then said, "I have a plan that can ensure my own safety!"
Alessia closed the door again, sat on the edge of the table, and gestured for Grimm to sit down.
"It seems you're not just a pretty face to look at!" Grimm's lips curved upwards as he sat opposite Alessia.
Alessia brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and crossed her arms. "In this kingdom, no one dares to call me a pretty face. I'm calling you Grandmaster now, right?"
Grimm shrugged: "Whatever you say."
"Then, let's begin. I'm ready…"
...
Before the sun had even risen above the horizon, Hyde, restless in his bedchamber, received a report that Grimm had already left. At the same time, Alia, the captain of the Second Infantry Unit, requested an audience with the king.
Alia was Alessia's alias. Upon hearing that she wished to have an audience, Hyde immediately summoned her.
Last night, Hyde had spent the entire night with several beautiful maids. After their exertions, he hadn't slept. His plan was for Alia, a soldier of the kingdom and also the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Etkexay, to willingly give her first time to Grimm. Then, he would find an opportunity to use the royal secret poison to completely paralyze Grimm.
In the history of the Kingdom of Etkexay, this tactic had been used countless times and had always been successful.
In other words, when men discovered that a beautiful woman was a virgin, their guard would be lowered to the minimum.
But upon hearing that Grimm had left, Hyde knew his plan had failed. Thus, he summoned her immediately, wanting to know what had happened.
