537: Luca III's solicitation

Chapter 536: Luka III's Recruitment

Two days later, a grand banquet was held as scheduled at Suweier Imperial Palace.

"Miss Alice, your magical talent astonishes me. Not to mention on the Demon Spirit Continent, but even looking at the entire world, it's top-tier..."

Luka III looked enthusiastic, proactively raising his glass to toast Alice, his eyes full of longing.

It must be admitted that Luka III was deeply attracted to Alice, but not because of her beauty and figure, but because of her unparalleled talent and strength!

Just yesterday, through the tireless efforts of Claude and a group of Investigating Officers, the arrow Yang Tao used to assassinate Dick was thoroughly investigated.

Three hundred and seventy-two kilometers!

This was the distance the arrow flew, incredibly far, and furthermore, it still possessed terrifying power and accuracy.

After reading the investigation report, Luka III felt a chill down his spine and subsequently couldn't eat or sleep peacefully.

After all, according to Dick, this attack was the work of the Divine Machine Witch; she controlled Yang Tao with a strange secret method.

And not long ago, at the scene of Ivan's car accident, Apricot Lilli had specifically left a message on the car window, explicitly stating her intention to eliminate Superville's dog emperor.

They didn't even need to be close; they could launch powerful attacks from hundreds of kilometers away.

With such an absurd assassination method, how could Luka III not feel fear?

Fortunately, the method Dick proposed earlier worked; his fame grew daily, successfully attracting the attention of the Divine Machine Witch.

Otherwise, that arrow in the military camp might have been aimed at the Royal Palace!

Luka III was unwilling to sit and wait for death, so today he hosted a banquet for the girls, with a particular focus on Alice.

After all, in the military camp, it was Alice who blocked that arrow with an incomprehensible method.

One should know, the arrow shot by Yang Tao, according to Claude's post-event assessment, had reached a strength above the quasi God-rank.

Putting aside the exaggerated distance, in terms of damage alone, it would require an Archer above level 85 to cause it with full effort!

But such an arrow was blocked by Alice with a single hand!

According to eyewitnesses at the time, Alice appeared calm and collected, as if she had done something trivial.

From this, it is evident that Alice's true strength has likely reached a... shocking level.

Originally, Luka III thought that Alice's level 51 at 19 years old was already abnormal enough, but he didn't expect the strength she displayed to be even more overpowered.

And the girls around Dick were all severely mismatched in age and level...

Luka III had reason to suspect that they were all overpowered freaks!

Therefore, Luka III didn't just invite Alice, but all the girls. He had to swallow his pride and sincerely try to win them over.

At this moment, facing the flattery of the current Emperor of Superville, Alice was absent-minded, merely smiling and nodding politely, responding with courtesy.

After two days of continuous, arduous practice, she was currently able to summon Beasts above level 40, and this morning she even performed exceptionally, summoning a level 49 Demon Bear!

Alice felt she was in excellent form and believed that by striking while the iron was hot, she would soon be able to summon Beasts higher than her own level, achieving the goal Dick had set.

But precisely at this time, Luka III invited her to the Royal Palace for a banquet, which made Alice feel extremely annoyed.

It wasn't just Alice; most of the girls felt the same.

Before coming, Mina was finishing some sewing work. She hoped Dick could wear new clothes when he woke up, and her mind was completely preoccupied with this.

Cecilia, due to her Eternal Night Witch constitution, didn't like the lively atmosphere of the banquet hall and was currently reading in a dark, deserted corner.

In the Central Region, where discrimination is most severe, Beyonce, being an Orc, was in an awkward position. Although the nobles tried hard to conceal it, a hint of disdain still occasionally showed in their eyes.

As for Isurna, she simply disliked banquets. The interactions among nobles were full of lies, and the entire banquet hall was filled with hypocrisy.

Among the girls, only Xiao Nai was carefree, sampling delicacies everywhere and treating the banquet hall entirely as a high-end buffet restaurant.

"Heh heh, after the capture of the Divine Machine Witch is complete, does Miss Alice have any plans to develop in the Central Region?"

Hearing Luka III's earnest question, Alice took a sip of wine and said casually, "I'm only interested in studying magic and constantly getting stronger. It's the same no matter where I am."

"That's not necessarily true."

Luka III's lips curved into a smile, and he said confidently, "The Central Region is the most advanced area on the entire Demon Spirit Continent, and Superville is the most advanced country in the Central Region, possessing over a hundred A-class magic scholars..."

Talent is the foundation of a country and the most crucial factor for sustainable development. Luka III had always attached great importance to this aspect and was proud of the abundance of talent in Superville.

However, Alice shook her head dismissively, "I don't believe there is a better magic scholar in this world than Dick."

This sounded like arrogant and baseless praise, but it was an undeniable fact. Dick, with his centuries of accumulation, was worthy of Alice's praise.

Hearing this, Luka III did not refute anything. Instead, following Alice's words, he smiled and said, "Speaking of Dick, he has already accepted a noble title and territory and is about to take on an important position in the empire..."

Luka III had high emotional intelligence and had already understood Alice's stance. Simply put, wherever Dick went, she would go.

A wise monarch must know how to grasp the essence of things.

There was only one most effective way to win over Alice, and that was to secure Dick.

Therefore, Luka III's words implied one thing – Dick had already decided to develop in Superville, so what were you waiting for?

Indeed, after hearing Luka III say this, Alice's attitude quickly changed, and she put away the contempt in her eyes.

After several conversations, Alice indicated that she would consider taking on some academic leisure positions later, which made Luka III overjoyed.

Before long, the young emperor of Superville, holding his wine glass, found Xiao Nai, who was single-handedly taking on an entire roasted suckling pig.

He catered to her interests, using the pretense of popularizing Superville cuisine to recruit Xiao Nai as a talent.

Exactly like Alice, as long as Luka III brought up Dick, Xiao Nai quickly and confusedly agreed to develop in Superville.

The main purpose of this grand banquet today was for Luka III to meet and recruit the girls, absorbing talent for Superville.

He even planned to visit the military camp later to specifically see Dick.

Even as the Emperor of Superville, the value shown by Dick and the girls absolutely warranted him doing so!
