Chapter 130: The Peaceful Wilderness Filled with Rich Blood
Otto looked at the corpses on the ground and vomited uncontrollably. He had never seen such a bloody scene.
Although blood was splattered everywhere when killing the Great Rabbit earlier, it was a Demon Beast after all. Even if it was killed, Otto wouldn't have any special feelings in his heart.
But Ayanokouji was walking among the corpses on the ground with no expression on his face, and there were no waves in his heart when he saw the corpses on the ground.
In his eyes, there wasn't much difference between the living and the dead. Now, the value that the dead could provide to him was actually greater.
He carefully observed these corpses, and the identity of the bandit had indeed been known.
Even Elsa couldn't investigate anything, which showed that the person who was targeting him had a more careful mind than ordinary people, and there was no shortage.
However, the fact that there was no flaw was a flaw.
There were only a few candidates with such meticulous thinking, as well as a very high status and excessive wealth in the royal capital.
And also have the right to pardon sinners from their crimes...
Ayanokouji immediately remembered Russell. Although his name was only an accountant of the Chamber of Commerce, he actually had great rights in the royal capital and the members of the Council of Wise Men almost controlled the royal capital.
Although the two were currently in an alliance, Russell must have regarded him as a threat given his intelligence.
Russell knew that Ayanokouji was gradually penetrating his field. Although it was a cooperative relationship now, as time went on, everything in Russell might be swallowed up.
And the most critical thing was that the addition of Ayanokouji disrupted the balance between the various forces of the potential throne contenders.
Although the Karsten family previously held an absolute leading position, several other forces were able to compete slightly, and Russell could benefit greatly from this political struggle.
But now Ayanokouji had led Emilia to expand her power, and had also annexed the Karsten family, making it impossible for the other two families to compare with them. In addition, Emilia's camp had exterminated the Great Rabbit, which had spread to the royal capital, and Ayanokouji could be said to be the center of attention.
The greater his center of attention, the more people felt a crisis. Russell felt that Ayanokouji was a threat. Although it was a cooperative relationship now, if left unchecked, it might be unthinkable, so it had to be eliminated.
If Ayanokouji could be eliminated, Emilia's camp would most likely experience civil strife, and the situation in the royal capital would become confusing again. Russell could also gain more benefits from it, and without Ayanokouji, Russell's business line would function. There would be no need to worry about being restricted, and he could take the initiative himself.
For Russell, eliminating Ayanokouji definitely had more advantages than disadvantages.
Whether it was motivation or whatever, Russell was the most likely person, but Ayanokouji couldn't be sure yet.
He walked to one of the corpses.
Ayanokouji took off the cloth bag from his waist, and the bag indeed contained heavy holy gold coins. He took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone the dazzling light on the holy gold coin. The light shone on the gold coin. Although it was easy for others to ignore it, he could see it at a glance.
When he traded with Russell, he was wary of the other party. He had applied some special fluorescent material to the holy gold coin, which would only be visible when facing strong light at night to assess the flow of money in the black market.
There was no doubt that the commission that the bandits received from their employer was the reward he gave to Russell when he traded with him.
Although it wasn't 100% certain yet, from the current perspective, it was most likely that Russell was the cause of all this.
Ayanokouji narrowed his eyes slightly. Russell was indeed much more cunning than ordinary people. If he succeeded, he could easily bring him down.
But Russell underestimated the opponent he encountered.
Moreover, no matter what Russell did, Ayanokouji was already prepared to get rid of him and find someone to replace him.
This was something that had been decided a long time ago after he investigated Russell.
"Meili, let your companions deal with these people so as not to cause too much of a commotion." Ayanokouji turned and said to Meili.
"Meili's companions?" Otto wiped his mouth with a confused expression on his face.
"Okay!"
Meili blew a whistle, and several Demon Beasts rushed out of the darkness. When leaving the area, Ayanokouji had asked Meili to order some Demon Beasts to attack in the darkness from the beginning.
"Demon Beasts!" Otto was so frightened that he fell to the ground again.
The Demon Beasts completely ignored his existence. They fully obeyed Meili's orders and ran straight towards the corpses, dragging them into the darkness.
Otto felt like he was dreaming at this moment. Although he had Divine Protection, he was no different from an ordinary person.
And now beside him was a girl who could kill a group of bandits in thirty seconds, a notorious cruel lustful killer, and a girl who could command Demon Beasts.
This team was too dangerous, and he felt out of place.
His eyes couldn't help but focus on Ayanokouji. He could make these people obey his orders. He didn't have any special powers, but he was the most terrifying person.
Soon, all the corpses had been dragged away by the Demon Beasts, and the bloodstains and vomit on the ground had been cleaned up, as if nothing had happened here now.
"Kiyo, what should we do next?" Echidna asked curiously.
"Let's go straight to the royal capital." Ayanokouji said.
He had considered pretending to be dead to lure the snake out of its hole and expose Russell and the others – but this was based on the fact that he hadn't obtained evidence about the mastermind behind the scenes. The possibility of him being the perpetrator had exceeded 90%, so he didn't need to test the information.
Seeing him return to the royal capital safely, Russell shouldn't sit idly by.
No matter how great his acting skills were, Russell would show his flaws when he panicked.
Ayanokouji had already learned Russell's personality, and what he might do in the future would be within his calculations.
"But let's rest here today. Everything will be fine in the future." Ayanokouji said slowly, "I will also contact Betty and Lia later."

"Did Ayanokouji have a plan from the beginning?"
In the student council office, Shirogane Miyuki looked at the scene on the screen and nodded.
Even before meeting Russell and investigating him, Ayanokouji had already thought about using him in the future and then getting rid of him.
This person was truly a monster.
He lowered his head and looked at the pages of the concept paper on his desk. Ayanokouji could easily solve the problems when he was a child, but he took a long time to solve them.
Ayanokouji was a man-made genius, but he himself was also a genius, something that Shirogane Miyuki couldn't achieve.
Although he always ranked first in Shuchi'in Academy, he actually didn't have any talent and relied entirely on perseverance and hard work to achieve success.
If you want to compare, not only was his talent not as good as Ayanokouji's, but his perseverance was also not as good as Ayanokouji's.
Everything Ayanokouji experienced was like walking through hell.

"A terrifying man."
Suzui Ryota looked at the scene on the screen and swallowed involuntarily, turning to look at Yumeko who looked obsessed.
It could be said that these two people were terrifying creatures.

Otto skillfully lit a bonfire beside the dragon carriage, then set up sleeping bags and tents.
And Ayanokouji took out a magical device that could make long-distance calls, which looked like a small folding mirror.
As he activated the magic device, the two faces were almost touching each other and could be seen through the lens.
"Kiyotaka!"
"Kiyo!"
Emilia and Beatrice's faces were almost touching each other, emerging from the lens.
"I'm almost at the royal capital." Ayanokouji said.
"Kiyotaka, did your trip go well?"
"It went very smoothly." Ayanokouji replied quickly, without mentioning the encounter with the bandits earlier.
They chatted about some unimportant topics. Almost two hours passed before the topic ended. Otto, who was wrapped tightly in a sleeping bag, huddled as if he was chasing away insects.
At this time, Elsa turned her head and her eyes fell on Ayanokouji: "Master, you seem a little different."
"Different? What's different?" Ayanokouji turned and asked.
"I can't tell you, I just feel a little different from when I first met you." Elsa smiled and said, "Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking. Good night, Master."
"Um."
The scene changed. The next morning, everyone set off for the royal capital again. It didn't take long for Ayanokouji and the others to reach their destination.
Because of her special status, Elsa went ahead, and the remaining people went directly to the mansion in the royal capital. Felt, Rom, and Rem had been waiting for a long time.
For them, Ayanokouji had left the royal capital for some time.
"Welcome back! Ayanokouji-sama!" Rem's face smiled happily.
Two weeks ago, she received a letter from Ayanokouji, knowing that Ram and the others had left the Sanctuary safely.
"Ayanokouji-sama, you're finally back!" Felt said impatiently, "While you were gone, we almost died of boredom!"
Rom nodded and greeted respectfully: "Ayanokouji-sama."
Maybe Felt and Rem didn't have much work to do every day, but Rom had a lot to do every day. He was responsible for helping Ayanokouji maintain the underground trade, and he had to report this and keep it secret, which was a challenging task for him, but it was successfully completed.
Although he couldn't expand his business area yet, Ayanokouji's requirements for her weren't high. Being able to maintain business operations was enough.
At this point, Rom didn't disappoint him. After all, now he needed Ayanokouji's protective umbrella to protect Felt's safety.
"Ayanokouji-sama, who is this person?" Rem's eyes fell on Echidna's face.
"Her name is Omega, and she's my new maid." Ayanokouji explained, and asked Echidna to take out the piece of maid uniform that had been torn earlier and let Rem repair it.
"Sorry, Ayanokouji-sama, how did this dress become like this?"
There was a hint of surprise in Rem's eyes. She didn't expect the maid uniform to be torn like this.
"Due to some unforeseen circumstances." Ayanokouji replied.
Rem didn't ask any questions, and immediately took over the cloth that was supposed to be the maid uniform, and prepared to sew and repair it: "Ayanokouji-sama, Crusch-sama also said that she would come to greet you after she heard that you were coming back. She will arrive soon, I will do the repairs first."
"Yes." Ayanokouji nodded.
And soon, Crusch and the others arrived at the mansion, Felix and Wilhelm were still walking with her.
