Hearing Wang Chong's complaint, Leticia seemed to realize this too, her face flushing slightly, and she said, "Because I don't have enough money on me... so... I didn't think too much about it. I was also planning to see if I could find some temporary work here."
"Miss Leticia, are you here for tourism or something else? Why are you working abroad? Don't tell me..." Wang Chong asked knowingly.
"I... I'm not an illegal immigrant, I have proper entry procedures. It's just that I really didn't bring enough money..." Leticia explained somewhat flustered.
"Alright, I didn't mean to imply that. I'm just worried about you, a young girl, traveling alone, you can easily encounter danger. Especially in an unfamiliar environment, in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, don't be tempted by cheap options. Although this world is better than wartime, there are still some evil spirits lurking in the shadows. If you go for cheap options, you often end up losing out in other ways. Take my advice, stay in a proper hotel tonight. If you don't have enough money, I can also cover it," Wang Chong said.
"This... how can I accept that? I've already had you pay for my meal, Mr. Shirou. That Abbot doesn't look like a bad person either, so I think it's not necessary," Leticia quickly refused.
"It's fine, you said it yourself, you're already in debt for one bill, so it doesn't matter if there's one more. Even if there's nothing wrong with the Liudong TempleAbbot, I remember Liudong Temple is quite far from the city, basically quiet and uninhabited, and it's easy to run into trouble walking at night. It's also very inconvenient for you to commute for work," Wang Chong said.
"This..." Leticia looked troubled.
"How about this, since we're going the same way, I'll just take you to Liudong Temple first. With a local taking you, I believe no one will pay attention to you," Wang Chong saw that Leticia was a bit resistant, so he didn't insist further, but rather went with the flow.
"Then, I'm grateful, Mr. Shirou," Leticia said thankfully.
Wang Chong nodded and continued to lead Leticia towards Mount Enzo. The reason Wang Chong wanted Leticia to move out of Liudong Temple was because he wanted to establish a Magic Boundary near Mount Enzo, and then have Semiramis build the Air Garden inside. But if Leticia, who was possessed by Jeanne d'Arc, lived nearby, she would likely quickly notice the commotion Semiramis caused.
And it wasn't just Semiramis who was a problem. What was being nurtured in the great holy grail would probably also be noticed by Jeanne d'Arc, which would completely disrupt his plans.
However, it seemed Leticia had her own ideas, and he didn't know if she was wary of him or had other reasons, so she didn't intend to move out.
"Forget it, when we reach Mount Enzo, if she still doesn't change her mind, then it seems I'll have to act by force this time." Wang Chong planned that once they reached Mount Enzo, he would forcefully use the ley lines and the Ruinous Power from the Holy Grail to forcibly corrupt Leticia, to prevent future troubles.
However, what Wang Chong didn't know at this moment was that he and Leticia had already been secretly targeted by a mysterious person. He concealed his figure, obscured his presence, and secretly followed the two.
Arriving at Mount Enzo, walking towards Liudong Temple, and looking at the long flight of stairs, Wang Chong couldn't help but think of a certain Gatekeeper Kojiro. Speaking of which, at night, how did those Servants fight so fiercely at the entrance of Liudong Temple without waking up the ordinary people inside? If he remembered correctly, during the Fifth Holy Grail War, the black mud from the Holy Grail later emerged from behind Liudong Temple. How did those monks escape the disaster?
Don't ask, just say it was a gas explosion.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Shirou." Because nothing out of the ordinary happened along the way, and he had indeed safely brought her to the entrance of Liudong Temple, Leticia's slight vigilance successfully subsided. It seemed the other party was indeed just a very warm-hearted person.
"Then you go in and rest well, I still need to go to the back mountain," Wang Chong said.
"Eh? So late, Mr. Shirou, what are you going to do in the back mountain?" Leticia asked with some curiosity.
"At night, the back mountain of Mount Enzo is a very rare scenic spot. It's far from the city lights, and you can see a sky full of stars, which is very beautiful. This is a sight you can't see in the city," Wang Chong said, pointing towards the back mountain.
"Eh? Really? Can I come with you to see it?" Leticia said with some excitement.
"If you want to see it, you can at any time. But if you come with me, aren't you afraid I'll kidnap you in the back mountain?" Wang Chong deliberately teased.
"Haha, Mr. Shirou, you don't need to scare me anymore. If Mr. Shirou had that intention, there would have been plenty of opportunities along the way."
"Perhaps the back mountain is very close to my secret base?"
"Then I'm even more eager to see what your secret base looks like, Mr. Shirou ~" Leticia said with a smile.
Wang Chong nodded, then led Leticia towards the back mountain. Wang Chong used his [Evil Degradation Eye] for a moment, and sure enough, he gained a certain level of trust from Leticia. Her favorability had now reached over 40, and their relationship had changed from strangers to friendly. It was because of this that Leticia was willing to follow him towards the back mountain.
It was only regrettable that he would probably have to betray this good impression. After all, Wang Chong was telling the absolute truth: the back mountain was indeed his secret base, and he did indeed plan to act against Leticia and the Jeanne d'Arc inside her in the back mountain, provided he had enough Ruinous Power.
"I hope the commotion won't be noticed by the other Masters here," Wang Chong thought to himself. "System, spend points to buy experience and level up all my skills."
"Ding—You have spent 1500 Villain Points to purchase 1500 experience points, activating skills: Ruined King Sword (Sword Skill) Level 1, Piercing Pain Level 1, By My Order Level 1."
"Congratulations, Host, for unlocking the Broken King Viego's complete set of skills. You have gained the Title Aura: [Pain! So Much Pain!], Aura Effect: Whenever you utter a classic quote from the Broken King Viego, the pain inflicted by your attacks will double."
"Double pain, huh? Good stuff. It's just that, the quotes and all, won't they be a bit too embarrassing?" Wang Chong grumbled.
"Oh!" A gasp of astonishment pulled Wang Chong back to reality. Upon closer inspection, they had already arrived at the cliff edge of the back mountain. The sky full of stars hung directly above them. Leticia looked up at the vast starry sky, like an immense ocean of inky blue. The stars, like twinkling pearls, quietly scattered across the heavens, silently illuminating the night's tranquility.
Leticia even spun around in a trance, her golden hair and braids dancing as she turned. Starlight cascaded down, making Leticia's body glow with a silvery light, splendid and sacred. Her sweet laughter made Wang Chong lose himself in the sight.
"Shirou-san, it really is beautiful here. Now I don't want to move out of Liudong Temple even more. To be able to see such a beautiful scenery every night, hehe, I won't miss out on such a good thing." Leticia stood with her back to Wang Chong, at the edge of the cliff, raising her hands as if to touch the starlight in the sky.
"Be careful, don't fall down." While kindly reminding her, Wang Chong quietly approached. Leticia's joke made the previously distracted Wang Chong firm in his plan.
"My apologies." Wang Chong gradually approached her, preparing to raise his hand to activate the Ruinous Power from the earth veins, ready to take down Leticia.
"Bang!!"
"Pfft!!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced flesh. Hearing the unusual sound, Leticia turned around in fright, only to see a bloody hole in Wang Chong's body. Wang Chong, with a pained expression, shouted to Leticia: "Run!"
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Several more gunshots followed, as if there was no intention of letting him go. Several more bloody holes appeared on Wang Chong's body. Since Wang Chong was also standing at the edge of the cliff, after being shot multiple times, he could no longer maintain his balance and fell directly off the cliff.
"Shirou-san!!!" Everything happened so fast that Leticia didn't even have time to grab Wang Chong's falling hand.
And then, a rush of footsteps sounded. Leticia looked up and saw a figure in a red hood, whose face was obscured, rushing towards her. A sense of life-and-death crisis climbed into Leticia's heart.
"Leticia! Give your body to me!" At this moment, the voice of the Saintess echoed in her mind.
"Please! Saintess-sama! Save Shirou-san!" Leticia immediately gave up control of her body, handing it over to the Saintess who was possessing her.
A golden light emanated from Leticia, causing the rushing figure to stop in their tracks and watch the glowing girl cautiously.
