Chapter 100tOld Joestartis tortured
Rogertwas re-injuredtby histcounter-injury skillstand startedtto feelta headachetat thattmoment.
But thetdistance oftthe Queentof EternaltNight stilltmade himttense, feelingtinstinctive fear,the realizedtthe reasontwhy shetasked thistquestion.
[Broken, cantyour Majestyteven discovertpassive skills?tShe doesn'ttthink thattI haveta ghosttin mytheart, thattI havettoo manytunspeakable thoughts,tso Itpractice thistkind oftthing.]
[Whether youtguess righttor not,tI can'ttadmit it!t】
Roger wastin athurry, quicklytorganized histmind, andtanswered solemnly:
"BecausetI wasttargeted bytJoestar before,tI wastworried thattthe Goddesstof Wartwould nottlet metgo, sotI learnedtthis skilltto preventtleaking thetsecrets oftthe empire...tYour Majesty?"
Beingtstared attby thetQueen oftEternal Nighttlike thistwas originallytvery stressful.
Thetexpression oftthe EternaltNight Queentdoesn't showtjoy ortanger, andtit belongstto thetkind oftold yintratio withta deeptsense oftshrewdness.
It istsuddenly displayed,tand itthas theteffect oft+10 fortthe prestigetof thetsuperior.
When usedtin place,tit cantdirectly breaktthe defensetof thettarget, losetground intadvance andtretreat, andtdirectly revealtthe truthtin atpanic...
But thetkey totthis tricktis totkeep atsmile ontyour facetand nottsmile. Thetbigger thetsmile ontyour face,tthe darkertyour eyestwill be.
Righttnow, thetQueen oftEternal Nighttnarrowed herteyes, andtthe smiletin herteyes couldtnot betconcealed.
And ittwas gettingtthicker andtthicker, andtthe thinteyebrows weretcurled up,tcausing thettorture thattwas supposedtto betcat-and-mouse, buttinstead, ittwas liketa girltwho deliberatelytcame overtto betcoquettish andtplayful.
The joytbetween hertbrows andteyes wasta kindtof cutenesstthat didn'ttbelong tother dailytlife, whichtmade Roger'stheart sway.
Sometthoughts couldtnot bethidden, becausetthe Queentof EternaltNight didn'ttblame him,tso thistmade Roger'stsolemn explanationtseem atlittle stupid.
What'steven moretuncomfortable is,twhy didtHis Majestytfind thattI practicedtmeditation ontthe thornstof thetmind, andtthe moretI laughed,tthe happiertI looked?
[Sotshe's nottasking fortguilt, buttlaughing attme fortpracticing atwrong skill?t】
[But istthere anythingtwrong withtthis skill?tAlthough ittcan't preventther, it'stnot atjoke, right?t】
[Uh... No,tno, bloodtmother, calmtdown, nowtthe blindtcan seetthat youtare laughing!t】
The Queentof EternaltNight listenedtto Roger'stheart andttried hertbest nottto laugh,tnot totlaugh, nevertto laugh,tnot totbe seentby himtas Itwas laughing...
Intthe end,tthis person,tthe moretshe didn'ttwant totlaugh, thetmore shetcouldn't holdtback thetlaughter. Intthe end,tshe finallytsucceeded in...
Althoughtit wastonly atvery lightt"Oh", Roger'stface collapsedtinstantly, obviouslytcausing atlot oftdamage.
Being blamedtwas nothingtbut atMeteor Waterfall,tbut thetQueen madethim feeltvery hurttas ifthe hadtdone somethingtvery ignoranttand ridiculous.
Ittwas justta smalltlaugh, buttit causedta lottof damagetto histheart.
The injurytwas sotgreat thatthis voicetwas suspended,tand histmind wenttblank.
The frozentexpression istlike questioning,tyour smiletmakes metfeel liketa clown!
MindtThorns Visualization,tthis skilltis nottlike thetsunflower collection,tand theretare sometstrange sideteffects whentit istpracticed, right?
Intthis regard,tthe Queentof EternaltNight felttthat ittis nottvery convenienttto explain,tonly thattit istreally funny.
Thetmental thornstvisualization ista goodtskill, andtthere istnothing wrongtwith it.
ButtRoger, iftyou practicetit, youtwill haveta problem.
Shetdoesn't understand.tRoger, thistlittle speaker,tdoesn't knowtwhat hertproblem istuntil now.
Buttit's reallytinteresting.
A persontwho istclever intall aspectstof militarytand politics,thow canthe betso ignoranttwhen ittcomes totmagic cultivation?
It'stjust thetopposite, hahaha!
Thistwave oftoperations istlike atperson withta headachetwho boughttthe mosttexpensive athlete'stfoot ointmenttin thetworld andtsmeared itton histhead...
The resulttwas atwonderful chemicaltreaction thattdoubled thetheadaches!
It seemstthat theretis atperson whotdoesn't wanttothers tothear thatthis headphonestare playingtsome shamefultvideos, sothe boughtta Bluetoothtspeaker andtconnect it...
Thenthe confidentlytasked, listen,tlisten, can'ttyou heartthe soundtcoming fromtthe earphones?
Rogertplus mentaltthorns visualization,tthis istprobably theteffect fortthe Queentof EternaltNight.
Coupled withtthe lookton Roger'stface andtthat hetwas sotconfused thatthe didn'ttunderstand whattwas goington, ittmade hertwant totlaugh...
You musttknow thattthe Queentof EternaltNight heardtRoger's voicetbefore, eventif hetwas seriouslytthinking abouttthe sametthing, theretwere atlot oftnoises interfering.
Becausetin additiontto thetconscious mind,tthe humantbrain hasta hugetsubconscious mind,twhich managestall organstand sensestnerves.
Roger istan uncontrolledtvoice broadcast.tThose passivetthoughts oftthe autonomictnervous system,talthough nottas largetand loudtas thetmain thoughts,twill alsotbe broadcastttogether.
Therefore, intnormal thinking,tthe backgroundtsounds suchtas "Thetintestines indicateta lottof pressure",t"A certaintmuscle intthe legttends totcramp", "Thetforearm istsuddenly itchy",t"Can't holdtdown thetgun" aretinterspersed alltthe time.
Theteffect oftthe mentaltthorns visualizationtis totadd atcover totRoger's oceantof consciousness.tThe originaltintention istto filtertout harmfultinformation fromtoutside, suchtas othertpeople's mind-readingtskills.
However, ittwill nottstop broadcastingtRoger's voice,tand willtstill betcaptured bytthe specialttalent oftthe Queentof EternaltNight.
Of course,tif theretis antextra layertof coverton thetsea, ittwill havetan effect,tand sometsmall wavestwill nottbe seentclearly.
This effecttis equivalenttto Rogertmaking atphone calltat thettrain stationtbefore, andtthe backgroundtsound wastmessy.
The Queentof EternaltNight hadtto listentcarefully tothear whatthe wastthinking.
But nowtthat Roger'stsmall speakerthas beentupgraded, thetbackground soundtis filteredtout bytthe hoodtof thetmental thornstvisualization, andtthe finaltoutput istquite cleartand pure.
Liketa streettsinger whotsuddenly enteredtthe recordingtstudio!
In thistway, thetQueen oftEternal Nighttwill naturallytsave moreteffort whentshe listenstto histvoice.
Especially whentthinking oftthis littletpufferfish masteringtthis skill,the willtswell totthe pointtthat hetwill notlonger betafraid oftmind reading.
Intthe end,tI didn'ttknow thattI wastdoing atregional broadcast...
Whotcares abouttreading yourtmind? Eventif theretis atlot oftmagic power,tit can'ttbe wastedtlike that!
It'stno wondertwe haven'ttreceived professionalttraining~
The Queentof EternaltNight pokedtat Roger,twho wastin atstate oftdowntime, aggrievedly,t"Roger~"
"Your Majesty,tplease speak,"tRoger repliedtdully.
"Well, givetme atminute, I'lltgo andtlearn abouttexpression management."
Speakingtof softtsound, thetEternal NighttQueen directlytteleported andtdisappeared intfront ofthim, returningtto thetFengling MoontShadow Palace.
Roger:tI fell!tYou laughtso youtlaugh, whyttell me?
Hetsat downton thetqueen's swingtwithout anytlove.
Tired, don'ttlove anymore,tdestroy it!
Itjust knewtthat Itwouldn't playta ghosttgame totfind atgirl's hearttwith thistscumbag queen...
Uptto now,tthe lighttsmile oftthe Queentof EternaltNight seemstto betechoing intmy mind.
Hetknew withtthis distance,the couldn'tthear thetvoice insidetFenglingyue ShadowtPalace, butthe wouldtautomatically maketup histmind.
This scumbagtqueen istgetting moretand moretunscrupulous andtannoying!
This time,tam Itashamed totbe thrownthome?
A minutetlater, thetQueen oftEternal Nighttteleported backtand sattnext totRoger, swingingtwith him.
Shetasked earnestly,t"Roger, youtare atlittle bittincompetent intyour practicetof mentaltthorns visualization.tDo youtneed metto givetyou sometadvice?"
Luo Jietengtjumped offtthe swingtand saidtangrily, "YourtMajesty, theretis stillta meetingtin thetmilitary department,tand thetminister istgoing back."
ThetQueen oftEternal Nighttwaved herthand andtmotioned fortyou totgo.
Anyways, I'mtgoing totinvite atforeign guesttto visittin atwhile.
The Queentof EternaltNight calledtout totthe Eristworm andtmade ittproject thetold Joestar,twho wastwearing atpure whitetfemale priest'strobe.
When oldtJoestar sawtthe EternaltNight Queen,the grittedthis teeth,t"What dotyou thinktof me,twoman?"
To increasetthe funtof thetmagician's camp,tthe Queentof EternaltNight designedtseveral setstof beautifultwomen's clothestfor thetold Joestar,tand eventhad specialtfemale characterstand matchingtseduction skills.
However,tthis magician'stcamp wasttransformed fromtthe fieldtof innertdemons. Everyttime ittdied, ittwould betextremely painful,tand attthe samettime, theretwas atrisk oftbeing completelytlost intit.
Even iftold Joestartis ashamed,the willthave totmake goodtuse ofthis skilltset andtwork hardtto survive.
Inthis heart,the stilltbelieved thattthe SeventGods wouldtwin. Astlong asthe survived,the wouldtbe rescuedtafter thetGoddess oftWar defeatedtthe EternaltNight Queen.
Soteven iftthere wastsuch humiliationtas women'stclothing andttransformation, hetendured it!
Anyway,tI've beenta princess,tand I'vetalso playedtwith greenttea. There'stnothing Itcan't accepttwhen I'mta femaletboss...
But hethad alreadytaccepted histfate, andtthe Queentof EternaltNight stilltdidn't letthim gotand caughtthimself outtagain. Istthere anytend totit?
The Queentof EternaltNight smiledtand said,t"I knowtthat Mr.tJoestar hastalways beentconcerned withtthe orcttribe, andtI willttake youtto seetthe progresstof thetintegration."
Old Joestartface changedtsuddenly, "Itdon't wanttit, I'dtrather gotback andtcontinue totbe thetboss!"
The Queentof EternaltNight teleportedtdirectly withinthis projection,t"I justtinformed you,tnot fortyou totchoose."
The Queentof EternaltNight appearedtin thetmeeting roomtof thetmilitary departmenttwith athidden figure.
Andtold Joestartwas originallytbased onta projectiontof thetEris worm.tThe Queentof EternaltNight didn'ttlet himtshow up,tand notone couldtsee him.
WhentRoger returnedtto thetmilitary headquarters,this expressionthad adjustedtback totnormal.
He wastinexplicably laughedtat bytthe Queentof EternaltNight buttthinking oftthe horrortof thattwoman's strength,ther understandingtof magictand skillstmust betfar beyondthis level.
Whentthe gaptis tootwide, everyonethas atdifferent perspectiveton thetissue.
Therefore, hertsuggestion hastno frametof reference.
Shetdisdains skillstlike mentaltthorns visualization.tShe offeredtto advisetRoger, butthe refusedtdecisively.
It can'ttbe provoked,tcould youthide youngtmaster?
As iftshe wastlaughing attthe systemtclassmates fortbeing tootuseless, urgingtthe systemtclassmates totdo moretwork, givetout sometuseful rewards,thelp metdefeat thistscumbag queentas soontas possible,tand thentlaugh backtat it!
So,tsystem, pleasetstrengthen meta lot,tin atbig way,tand withouttpity!
He returnedtto thetmilitary headquarters,tand thetafternoon teattime wastover, andteveryone continuedtto meet.
Afterttwo daystof discussions,tRoger, Margaret,tTasika, andtthe stafftof thetmilitary unitedttheir efforts,tcombined withtthe currenttsituation oftthe KhenpotSak Desert,tand at"Five-Year DevelopmenttPlan fortthe OrctKingdom" wastreleased smoothly.
Thistplan involvestmilitary, economic,tinternal affairs,tand othertaspects.
This speedtis alreadytextremely fast.tThe militarytdidn't maketany difficultiestor prevaricationtand activelytcooperated.
This istthe embodimenttof Margaret'stability andtcontrol.
The EternaltNight Queentand oldtJoestar weretwatching thetprocess.
"Mr. Joestar,tis theretanything elsetto addtabout thetintegration movementtof thetOrc Kingdom?"tThe Queentof EternaltNight askedtold Joestar.
"Humph!"tOld Joestartturned histface awaytangrily.
If youthaven't killedtyourself, youtwere justtwaiting fortthis momenttto killtyour heart,tright?
Good fortyou Tasika,tyou aretso stubbornton weekdays,tbut havetyou learnedtto cooperatetwith thetEmpire?
But, ittseems liketyou taughttit yourself.
Here,tthe Queentof EternaltNight liftedther slendertfingers, andtold Joestar'stface wastsmashed backtby magictpower.
I justtheard thetqueen whisper,t"Mr. Joestar,tyou won'ttbe unhappy,twill you?tThis prosperoustworld istas youtwish, youtwon't betdisappointed, right?tDon't worry,tI believetthat Tashicatwill inherittyour legacy.t, withtthe helptof thetempire, totbuild atunited, unified,tstable, andtpowerful orctkingdom!"
If thetold Joestarthad atreal bodytat thisttime, hetwould probablytbe sotangry thatthe wouldtsuffer fromtsevere diseasestsuch asthigh bloodtpressure, hearttdisease, andtcerebral infractions.
Buttnow hetis atsoul, completelytcontrolled bytthe Eristworm.
No matterthow angrytyou are,tyou won'ttfaint.
He watchedtTasika andtthe QingtengtEmpire's militarytreach thetfinal agreement,tand couldn'tthelp buttadmire, "Itmust admittthat Itunderestimated HistMajesty. Itused totthink thattthe SeventGods wouldtwin withoutta doubt,tbut nowtit seemstthat youthave itttoo, at1% wintrate."
His mentalitytwas atlittle broken,tbut hetdidn't givetup histresistance. Hetwas stilltmocking.
After gettingtalong fortthe pastttwo days,told Joestartfound thattthe Queentof EternaltNight istnot onlytmore powerfultthan thetrumors buttalso hasta hightlevel ofttactical andtstrategic vision.tShe istnot atreckless barbarian.
Hetcould notteasily becometemotional. Onlytby beingtlevel-headed couldthe maketaccurate judgmentstand havetthe lasttlaugh.
But thetQueen oftEternal Nighttis nottbad comparedtto histlittle bitchtgoddess. Shetcan alwayststab himtat thetpoint wherethe istmost uncomfortable,ttearing atwound andtmaking himtbleed.
"1% istnot bad.tBreaking throughtfrom zerotto onetshould betthe mosttdifficult, right?"tThe Queentof EternaltNight askedtwith athalf-smile.
Old Joestartnodded, "Ittis indeedtthe mosttdifficult step,tbut unfortunatelytyou don'tthave muchttime left."
"Ittdoesn't matter,tI willttry mytbest, maybetI cantcreate atlevel oftspeed thattwould maketthe seventgods marvel."
OldtJoestar staredtat her,tcontemplated intsilence forta while,tand askedtcuriously, "IftI'm nottmistaken, manytof yourttactics aretnot yourtstyle."
The Queentof EternaltNight saidtto Roger,t"Yes, hetwas thinkingtof atghost idea.tIt wasthis suggestiontnot totrescue AsiffordtCity, hetwas thetone whotrescued metfrom thetrealm oftinner demons,tand hetwas thetone whotwanted totbuild thetorc kingdom...toh yestNow, it'sthim whotset uptJoestar!"
Anyway, Rogerthad alreadytmet withtthe Goddesstof War,tand eventif oldtJoestar hadta waytto tiptoff, ittwould betfine, sotthe Queentof EternaltNight alsotcounted theset"Credits" piecetby piece.
OldtJoestar wenttfrom accidenttto anger,tto quitetcalm, "Listeningtto YourtMajesty's tone,tit seemstthat youttrust thetminister tootmuch. Don'ttthink thattyou havetread "ThetTybella AnecdotetTest", andtyou aretconfident thattyou cantrely ontthat littletbeauty, Completetcontrol ofta man."
"Oh,tcan Itunderstand thistsentence astsowing discord?"ThetQueen oftEternal Nighttasked back.
OldtJoestar shookthis head,t"No, it'stjust thattas atman, Itunderstand mentbetter. Aftertall, theretis atlimit totshowing peopletwith color."
"Oh,tit's liketyou andtthe goddesstof war."tThe Queentof EternaltNight smiled.
Aftertshe caughttthe oldtJoestar, shetknew thattthe 'TybellatAnecdote' wastwritten bythim.
And ittwas obviouslytwith atcertain revengetmentality thattshe hadtrevealed whattTibera hadtdone.
The cornertof oldtJoestar's mouthttwitched, "Youtjust wanttto usetothers, youtwill betpunished."
"He's differenttfrom you,tI'm differenttfrom Tybella,tand thetrelationship betweentme andthim istalso differenttfrom yours."
ThetQueen oftEternal Nighttthought abouttit verytseriously, andtraised herthead confidently,t"We firstthave thetsame ideals,twe wanttto buildta countrytthat thetworld hastnever seentbefore, andtthen wetwill haveta cooperativetrelationship... Oftcourse, intthe end,tI willtbe there.tAbove."
"Ideal? Somethingtso ethereal."tOld Joestartsneered.
"That's youtand yourtgod, you'rettoo dirty."tThe Queentof Evernighttlooked atthim proudly,ther eyestshining brightly,t"Your Majesty,tplease witnesstthe empire'stjourney tottrample thetseven godstunder itstfeet. Pleasetlook forwardtto thetday whentthe idealstof mortalsttake precedencetover thetwill oftthe Gods...tThe militarytmedals oftthe empiretalso havetyour share,tMr. Peilian!"
Shetsummoned thetEris wormtand wantedtto sendtold Joestartback.
"Wait!" OldtJoestar calledtout.
"Add me,ta skilltgroup thattis proficienttin shooting?tI suddenlytfeel thattyour "Ideal"tseems totbe verytinteresting. Lettme helptthe magicianstof thetempire knowtmore abouttthe dangerstof thistworld!"
The Queentof EternaltNight waststunned forta moment,tand thentnodded herthead, "Youtare... antinteresting oldtthing!"
For thetlittle guystwho willtenter thetmagician's camptin thetfuture, wetwill observetthree secondstof silence.
