Chapter 480 Artificial male protagonist
"Akna…" Ryne continued: "This time, please protect him well; the church probably hates him very much and really wants to kill him."
"Even though I am detaining Ikarys, the Holy Son of the Church, however, the church is filled with crazy people, so they must have started training Holy Sons as replacements."
"No, they certainly have many backup plans to replace Ikarys. And Lathel is unique; we can't risk it."
"Yes, Master." Akna bowed her head and said: "I will definitely protect Young Master, even if I have to sacrifice my life."
"Very good!" Ryne said with satisfaction: "In two days, I will bring Ikarys to trial before everyone, at which time the whole church will participate. Maybe… the Pope will come too."
"At that time, Lathel will face many dangers because the Church wants to use this opportunity to cause chaos within the Empire."
"Akna, you are responsible for protecting Lathel, and you should rest, I will prepare to deal with the church."
"Yes, Master." Akna bowed her head and spoke, feeling worried in her heart.
Even though this place is the Empire, the Church is still a giant, and it is still extremely powerful, having existed since ancient times.
As for the Karol Empire, although it is a large empire, it only came into existence about 200 years ago. The strongest person is Catheryne; however, besides her, I'm afraid there is no one left who can resist the power of the church.
"Hopefully Laura can help me a little." Ryne sighed and said.
Hearing that, Akna immediately remembered Laura. She knew that Laura was a mysterious existence that the church wanted to recruit.
However… Laura seems to have no interest in power or wealth.
"Master, I think… Young Master can help you." Akna suddenly spoke up.
"What do you mean…" Ryne frowned and asked: "Can Lathel make Laura obey me?"
Akna shook her head: "I'm not sure; however, he can also try. Laura really likes Lathel, and she also helps Young Master a lot."
Ryne nodded slightly as she lost herself in thought.
…
After 'torturing' Lilith, Lathel breathed a sigh of relief: "I forbid you... to turn me into a tool in your plan next time."
Lilith held her butt with both hands, pouted her lips, and said with tears in her eyes: "I just wanted to experiment a little. Are you still a man? Look at how you hit me."
"Ah! Whether I am a man or not, you will know if you try it." Lathel laughed contemptuously.
"What?!" Lilith quickly covered her chest: "You… you… Lathel… you are so perverted. You won't even let go of a 70-year-old woman like me."
"Okay, I have to sacrifice to control this wild wolf. Even though I am over 70 years old and an old woman, but…"
Lathel: "…" (  ̄  ̄ |||)
He sighed: "I don't want to sleep with an old woman either."
"Huhuhu… You said I'm old…" Lilith pretended to cry as she spoke.
Lathel: "…"
"Do you believe I will smack your ass?"
"Hehehehe…" Lilith stuck out her tongue: "I love you so much; you won't hit me, right?"
Lathel shook her head: "Okay, let's get to the point. Do you think the male protagonist can be born on his own, or can he be created?
"I think… It's probably both." Lilith smiled and said.
Lathel frowned: "Let's be clear."
"Hm…" Lilith tilted her head and looked into the distance, then said: "Do you know Harris and what Amleth did?"
Lathel nodded and said: "Of course I know. Amleth used my name to kill Harris's entire family, forcing him to wander and making me the objects of his hatred."
"I also didn't think that based on such a simple detail, Harris would become a male lead."
Lilith shook her head and said: "Actually, Harris is not really a male lead."
"Hm?! What do you mean…"
She continued, interrupting Lathel's words: "In fact, that alone is not enough to make Harris a main male character. What's worth mentioning is… the way Amleth did it made Harris think he was a chosen one."
Lathel frowned, but said nothing more; he just listened silently to Lilith.
Lilith continued: "First, Amleth created a massacre; however, she cleverly allowed Harris to escape in a bizarre way."
"What?! Wait! Can you explain a little more clearly..." Lathel was startled and quickly spoke: "So the girl following Harris is Amleth's subordinate."
"After that, she also arranged for a strange woman to help Harris become stronger. From then on, he thought that he was the one chosen to take revenge."
"What?! Wait! Can you explain a little more clearly..." Lathel was startled and quickly spoke: "So the girl following Harris is Amleth's subordinate."
"That's right." Lilith nodded, her face lacking any emotion or surprise, as if this were completely normal.
"What about the scroll containing the soul of the Darkness King? Harris' family owns that scroll; they are definitely not an ordinary family." Lathel asked further.
Lilith shrugged and said: "In reality, it was just a normal magic scroll. Later, Amleth changed it into a scroll containing the soul of the Darkness King."
"That… How did she know it was the scroll containing the Darkness King's soul?" Lathel continued to ask; he seemed to be trying to find a reason to believe that... Harris was not a male protagonist created by Amleth.
"It's very simple; after all, Amleth is very rich." Lilith shrugged and said: "Since she is that rich... she can even do business with the church, so it is normal for her to be able to find that."
Lathel took a deep breath, feeling a chill down his spine. He knew Amleth was powerful and very smart, but he didn't think she was so smart that she could even create a male protagonist.
This broke his perception and broke the theorems he once knew about novels.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid? Lilith covered her mouth and smiled mischievously. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Oy! Don't you think she's scary? She can…"
"So what?" Lilith once again interrupted Lathel, saying: "Even though she can create a male protagonist, it's not really a male protagonist."
"Compared to Alec, it was easier for you to kill Harris. It's just… Amleth is trying to protect Harris, knowing he's a pawn to use."
"Before, she probably just wanted to use Harris to stimulate you and help you have the will to strive and become stronger."
"But after today, maybe… she will change the purpose of using Harris."
Lathel frowned, feeling that Lilith did not seem like an ordinary heroine. Whether she's a female protagonist or a female villain, her class probably belongs to the 'Boss' category.
He sighed and said: "So… what should we do now? I seem to have started a war with Amleth; what must I do to win against her?
"Actually, you don't need to worry." Lilith smiled and said: "I feel like she faces many limitations, so she uses other people to approach you."
"What do you mean?" Lathel frowned and said: "She can't directly… attack me."
"That's right." Lilith nodded and said: "If she had no restrictions, do you think you could move freely like this?"
Lathel thought back, feeling that what Lilith said was completely reasonable. With Amleth's extremely possessive personality, she will definitely find him, capture him, and lock him in a basement immediately, rather than using other complicated methods.
"Perhaps…" Lathel remembered the times she met Amleth; she seemed to want to touch him but didn't dare to do so, and she said: "Her biggest limitation is that she cannot touch or harm me."
"Probably so." Lilith nodded in response.
"But… why can you and the other heroines, but she can't?" Lathel frowned, feeling confused.
"That's because in your heart…" Lilith smiled and raised her index finger, pointing at Lathel's chest, right where his heart was: "You also have a little thought... just a little thought that... you also like that person."
"That's also why the other heroines can touch you. But it seems like Amleth once did something very bad to you, making it impossible for you to like her, right?"
Lathel sighed and nodded slightly. He wanted to say who Amleth was in his previous life. However, it was a secret between him and Dandite, so he couldn't say it.
"You just need to know that... she is a devil." Lathel gritted his teeth and said: "If we can't defeat her, then we will stay away from her, as far away as possible."
"However, I made a fatal mistake, that is… I declared war on her. I'm afraid... this war, only when one of us or she fails will it stop."
"But… my odds of winning are very low, I'm afraid…"
Suddenly, Lilith used her index finger to block Lathel's lips. She smiled and said: "Don't worry, you still have me, Akna, Ryne, and many others. Everyone is ready to help you."
"She still doesn't know what you're planning to do, so we have a chance to win."
"Even though the odds of winning are very low, at least we have the possibility to win."
Hearing that, Lathel nodded, his eyes gradually becoming more determined. He laughed and said: "Huh! By the time I restore your beauty, I will definitely... make it impossible for you to get out of bed."
"AAA!! An evil wolf is about to attack me; please save me." Lilith pretended to scream, then laughed provocatively.

Elsewhere, after Rakka bought the necessary things, he did not rush back to the inn but entered the Goblin forest near the Empire.
It took two hours by carriage to get there, after which he began to study the things he had 'stole' from Barosik.
"This is incredible…" Rakka frowned and muttered: "These are all extremely rare ingredients. Just one thing appearing is enough to cause countless people to fight frantically."
"It seems... that kid has some secret talent. It's like some kind of ability that can help him see through things."
"However… Lathel is truly my 'lucky charm'."
