The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 18 - Mind Blank

Ever since the leader of the Lion’s Club became a fervent Su Li fan, the changes in Sadina City have been visible to the naked eye.

This city itself doesn’t belong to any country or religious organization. The city of mercenaries is the territory of mercenaries. Since this city was designated as a self-governing area, regardless of how chaotic it became, its essence was always just the conflicts among mercenaries.

Therefore, when the Lion’s Club and the Alliance stopped fighting each other, the progress of Euphia’s reforms became comparable to riding a rocket forward.

However, for the outside world, all of this happened in a very short time.

While people outside still thought the city of mercenaries was in a state of conflict, Euphia had already negotiated the division of interests with the leader of the Lion’s Club.

But this news wasn’t easily exposed to the outside.

Regarding the development of the city’s upper echelons, Su Li, who considered himself an ordinary civilian, also had some gossipy thoughts.

Seeing that Su Li was curious about this matter, Egbert took it upon himself to explain the whole situation.

“The information that Sadina City has restored peace is not suitable to be made public for the time being. There are many forces within the city, and nobles and merchants are especially good at fishing in troubled waters. If the news of peace were to leak, all their dirty schemes would go into hiding, becoming as foul as rats in the sewers. The city of mercenaries belongs to the mercenaries, and neither Euphia nor the leader of the Lion’s Club can accept too many other forces in this city. The conclusion they reached after discussion was to maintain the status quo on the surface, but actually fish for trouble.”

Su Li, having satisfied his curiosity with this gossip, didn’t say anything more.

Egbert, however, thought that Su Li, sitting on the sofa and simply blanking out, was thinking about something he couldn’t keep up with. He cast a reluctant glance at Su Li, then honestly walked to the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating light elements.

The importance of power, since the day Su Li was kidnapped, has become extremely important in the eyes of those familiar with Su Li.

He was weak, without any deeper implications. Su Li was the kind of person who could potentially lose half his life if even lightly grazed by elements.

In many people’s eyes, the concept of safety didn’t exist for his life.

So in the days following the kidnapping incident, apart from the necessary time spent with Su Li, Egbert used all his fragmented time to cultivate elements.

He hoped to break through his current level soon and enter a higher realm.

And in the subsequent purge period, which was the time when merchants tried to profit from war and nobles constantly stirred up conflicts, Su Li also rarely witnessed the true power of the Son of Light.

How to put it… Perhaps because in previously seen works, light elements often represented healing and support roles, Su Li initially thought this way too, subconsciously believing that Egbert’s main strength should be in physical combat…

Who would have thought that this person directly transferred his abilities to controlling the temperature of light.

Su Li personally witnessed several nobles who were pointing at his nose and calling him useless being burned to nothing, not even ashes left, in an instant.

Once he understood the principle, it felt…

Quite, quite scientific?

The scattered thoughts allowed Su Li to ponder nuclear fusion and atomic decomposition reactions for only a second.

But the next second, his mind went completely blank, and he very frankly mocked himself. “Returning the knowledge I’ve learned back to the teachers should also indirectly show my love for them.”

Egbert hesitated to speak.

“Does Lord Su Li also have teachers?”

“Just pretend I didn’t say anything earlier,” Su Li didn’t want to explain the lifetime he spent in another world.

A man’s sixth sense might not be great, but animal instinct probably still has something to it.

Su Li’s instinct told him that if he were to reveal his identity as a transmigrator, the result would definitely not be something like “this person is unknown, unknown means danger which equals evil, he should be sent to the gallows and burned to ashes.” Instead, there was only one possible outcome…

As expected of Lord Su Li!

Just imagining Egbert pointing at those who doubted him and brainwashing them by saying, “You’re just too inexperienced,” made Su Li feel dizzy.

The chaos continued for several days. Just as the leader of the Lion’s Club and Euphia were about to round up all those nobles, the mercenaries guarding the city gates to prevent nobles from sending messages outside suddenly ran around wailing. “Damn it, those guys from the Church are here!”

For most people in this world, the Church of Light was a place of faith, countless people longed to join and worship the statue of the God of Light.

But for mercenaries, it wasn’t quite the same.

This was because the Mercenary Alliance existed to provide mercenaries with an organization to take on missions, for their own convenience.

The Church’s existence, on the other hand, was desperate to control them, pressing their heads down and telling them they must do these things, and not doing so would be against the God of Light’s instructions… They didn’t even pay, saying it was all for this world, painting such an unrealistic picture.

They perfectly embodied the despicable face of capitalism.

It would be strange if mercenaries liked such an oddity.

When those people from the Church appeared with the face of saviors coming to rescue the world, the mercenaries in the city all wore expressions as if they had eaten flies.

“What excuse are those people giving this time to interfere with Sadina City?”

“They say it’s because there’s too much conflict in the city, seriously affecting the daily lives of residents. As the God of Light’s representatives on earth, they absolutely cannot stand to see such injustice… Anyway, it’s all high-sounding lies.”

“Ugh…” The person who asked first made a vomiting gesture, not hiding their disgust at all.

Just from the discussion among ordinary mercenaries, one could see that Egbert, who gave up the Beast Forest and chose this city, had his own considerations.

In the small building.

After learning this news, Egbert quickly reacted.

The Church, which rarely interfered with this city, probably thought the leader of the Lion’s Club and Euphia had really fought to mutual destruction, and was preparing to come and be the opportunistic third party, greedily seeking benefits.

Who would have thought that this conflict involving countless forces would be quickly resolved with a unified front after the top figures of the two forces stood together, and even set a trap for the nobles and merchants?

However, the news of the Church members’ arrival disrupted Egbert’s original plan to focus on cultivation today.

The reason was—

Su Li went out.

Su Li went out with Cyril. Both were young, and even though Egbert wished he could spend 24 hours a day with Su Li, he occasionally left some space for the children to be children. Otherwise, according to Euphia: “Are you some stupid father who will die if separated from his child?”

Egbert wanted to say yes at that time, but he didn’t think he had the right to be Su Li’s father.

After replaying recent daily events in his mind, Egbert immediately got up and headed towards Su Li and Cyril’s destination.

The Son of Light didn’t know, he only thought it was truly a private space for children, but in reality, Cyril had told Su Li that Egbert’s birthday was coming up soon.

Su Li pondered for a moment. Considering how he quickly transitioned from a beggar to living a normal life in this other world, Egbert had definitely made great contributions.

Su Li had no reason not to give him a gift.

Shopping, even a homebody must go shopping!

In the end, Su Li chose a silver keychain as a gift. The golden key to the small building’s front door was always lonely, adding a keychain for Egbert to hold would make it feel more like home.

Cyril was still debating whether to give Egbert gloves or wristbands.

Su Li said matter-of-factly, “What choice do adults make? Adults of course want both.”

Then he gave Cyril a gold coin and sat on the steps outside the general store, quietly waiting for him to choose suitable gifts.

This general store was well-positioned on one side of the street, not only in a prime location but also visible to everyone entering Sadina City.

Today was no exception.

Ignoring a few mercenaries staring at him with strange looks, Su Li lazily yawned while holding the keychain package wrapped in brown paper.

Everything seemed natural, at most making Su Li wonder if Euphia and the Lion’s Club leader had done something again to make the mercenaries’ attitudes towards him so strange.

But the next second, several white-robed people pointing at the mercenaries shouted loudly. “Sinners who disrespect the God of Light! Weaklings! Ignorant fools!”

When Cyril came out of the general store, he was confused for a moment. “What’s going on?”

After pondering for a second, Su Li decisively said, “PUA, I guess.”

Seeing Cyril’s puzzled look, Su Li briefly explained. “It refers to those bad people who constantly belittle others through words and try to gain benefits from them. They’re not good people, next time you encounter such people, be sure to stay far away.”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

As Cyril was nodding in a daze, one of those who had been loudly accusing the mercenaries might have heard Su Li’s words. He then stared at him with an extremely fierce gaze and said, “Mere sinner abandoned by God!”

“Stupid freak without any elemental affinity! Take back what you said, and I might still leave you with one life. Otherwise, today I’ll send you to personally meet the God of Light, so you can deeply experience the glory of God!”

Su Li: Ah, this...

“What nonsense are you babbling about?” The previously accused mercenary lazily picked his ear, not bothering to deal with those pretentious Church people. But now, seeing them directly attack an innocent bystander who only spoke the truth, he retorted without hesitation, “If there really was a god, I think the first to die would be you lot who come here saying our city is doomed and needs your saving.”

He didn’t say it, but his expression clearly conveyed: “As if you’re worthy?”

In an instant, the air current stirred up by the surging elements made Su Li unable to keep his eyes open. His body involuntarily stepped back, but unfortunately, his heel didn’t land steadily. Instead, it hit the higher step behind him, and losing control for a moment, he fell right on his bottom.

Su Li’s mind went blank.

Tonight, he would be carrying a possibly non-existent train straight to the moon!

To fall on his bottom after living for thirty years…

Egbert arrived and immediately noticed Su Li’s soul-lost appearance.

The air suddenly became thick with killing intent.
