"What are you even talking about?"
The three thugs frowned.
The matter of choosing the king was well-known, but they didn't know exactly who the candidates were.
Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Satou Kazuma smiled again.
Satou Kazuma had learned about the king selection when he met Emilia before.
He also knew that although almost everyone knew about the Dragon Stone prophecy, most people did not know the specific identities of all the candidates.
Moreover, the fifth candidate didn't seem to have appeared yet.
This gave Satou Kazuma an opportunity to package Aqua as a candidate.
This way, he could use Aqua's identity to gain a foothold in Lugunica.
Satou Kazuma had heard that the candidates had considerable power.
He had also asked Aqua about her followers.
As long as someone was willing to become a follower of Aqua, believing that Aqua was a being they should serve, they would be considered a follower, and Aqua's goddess power would be restored.
This also coincided with faking Aqua's identity.
If Aqua could really be packaged as the Dragon Witch chosen by prophecy, then she would definitely gain some followers!
Maybe they could become Aqua's source of power.
"You say she's one of the king candidates, so why are you looking for us? We shouldn't know you, right?"
The dwarf male in the trio asked.
"Because the prophecy said that you three would join us and become important help in our group!"
Satou Kazuma made it up on the spot.
He just wanted the three of them to become Aqua's first followers.
There's strength in numbers.
Although they didn't look very smart, they could be used as cannon fodder if they encountered enemies like Elsa in the future.
"What did the prophecy say?"
"The prophecy said that you three would appear at this time and place to rob us."
"Come on, anyone can see that!"
"Your names are Rachins , Gaston, and Hambali."
Satou Kazuma said with a smile.
This was information he had learned while being beaten up in the previous loops, overhearing their conversations.
"He actually knows our names!"
The tall one was called Gaston, and the skinny man from before was Rachins .
"Don't panic, the poor district is so small, it's not strange that he knows our names after a little investigation."
Rachins said this, but he was already a little unsure.
This guy named Satou Kazuma did sound absurd, but he didn't seem to be joking at all.
At this moment, Satou Kazuma continued:
"Because of the prophecy, I know everything about you."
Satou Kazuma still had a seemingly profound smile on his face,
"Rachins , you have two daggers hidden behind your back, and your money bag has a total of 4 holy coins and 11 holy copper coins!"
This was also information that Satou Kazuma had obtained in the previous loops.
Especially that money bag, which directly led to the three thugs hitting him particularly hard at the time.
Rachins looked at Satou Kazuma in disbelief, what he said was absolutely correct.
He could even say how much money he had, which even the two next to him didn't know.
"If you still don't believe it, let me show you Aqua-sama's power as a candidate chosen by the dragon god - Aqua-sama!"
Satou Kazuma raised his voice several decibels, bringing the somewhat distracted Aqua back to reality.
She activated her skill, and a strange light emanated from her hand.
"Magic?!"
"That's right, it's magic. The reason why Aqua-sama was chosen is because she is the top magic user in Lugunica! The prophecy mentioned that you three would become our help, but if you refuse, you will become our enemies in the future, and naturally we can't let you leave."
Satou Kazuma continued, winking at Aqua to have her quickly say something to increase the credibility of his words.
'Finally! The part I've been waiting for! Kazuma told me to act high and mighty, I can't waste this opportunity!'
Aqua said in her heart, stepping forward, then leaning forward, with a mocking smile on her face:
"Sigh, all I see are third-rate guys, are all you humans like this? Is it because you're idle every day and can't find a job that you appear in this place? How pitiful~"
The smile on her face even became a little distorted, her body also danced,
"Oh, it's because the prophecy mentioned you, so we thought you might be a little useful, that's why we came here. Could it be a waste of time? Never mind~"
"Hey hey hey....."
Sweat dripped from Satou Kazuma's forehead.
He told Aqua to act high and mighty.
But all this girl could do was mock people? Did she misunderstand the concept?
Satou Kazuma could already see veins popping up on the foreheads of Rachins and the others, as if they were about to burst out from under the skin.
This is bad.....
Satou Kazuma could already foresee being punched and kicked again in a few seconds.
He would suddenly trip Aqua to let her cover their retreat and then take the opportunity to run away.
Just as Satou Kazuma was thinking, the three thugs looked at each other, then turned their heads together.
"We, we are willing to pledge our loyalty to Aqua-sama!"
"Huh?"
Satou Kazuma had a confused look on his face at this moment.
What's going on?
These three are really willing to join their group?
And at this moment, Rachins ' expression was also incredibly stiff.
In his eyes, he had no room to refuse.
If Aqua was really a candidate, it would be easy to throw them in jail, robbing a candidate was a serious crime.
She had just used magic, and it would probably only take a flick of her finger to kill them all.
Moreover, Aqua's series of remarks, combined with an expression that ordinary people could not make, made it seem like she was above humans, and Rachins really felt the arrogance in her bones.
Aqua was really not an ordinary person.
In order to save his and his companions' lives, Rachins could only choose to agree to join their group now.
