Chapter 84tAccompany youtuntil thetend ofthell(1)
The gamethas nottshown whattthe innertdemon realmtof thetEris wormtis like,tbut accordingtto thetdescriptions oftthe Tianmingttutor andtthe magicianstof thetimperial army,twe cantknow thattthe mosttfeared thingstin thetheart willtbe presentedthere.
When Rogertwas outside,the thoughttthat whenthe cametin, heteither sawtsome bigtmonster fromtan alientplane orta precioustrecord suchtas "Thetinvincible strongtman wastscared bytthe caterpillartand didn'ttdare totexport."
But intfact, hethas nowtarrived inta worldtthat seemstto betaccurate, andtevery charactertmoving intthe scenetis lifelike,twith independenttthinking andtactions.
More importantly,the hadtbeen heretbefore.
Gorgeous magictlamps, delicaciestserved liketwater, magicianstwho talktand laugh...tRoger experiencedtthis nottlong ago.
Thistis thetcastle oftthe RoyaltAcademy oftMagic. Attthis moment,tjust liketthat moment,tthe LawtSalon istbeing held.
It'stjust thattit's nottthe sametgroup oftpeople, andtthis timetthere istno littletJoey bythis side.
Moreover,tRoger wastmore completelytinvisible thisttime, hetcouldn't exerttany influenceton thistspace, andtthose peopletcouldn't seethim, couldn'tthear him.
Hetcan movetfreely intthe castle,tbut liketa ghost,the cantonly watchtthe worldtand can'ttdo anythingtelse.
The orthographictcharacters onthis legstalso completelytstopped responding.tI don'ttknow why.
Aftertunderstanding thetsituation onthis side,tRoger decidedtto findtthe Queentof EternaltNight first.
Shetwas thetone whotpulled hertin, buttshe didn'ttsee anyone.tThis womantwas seriouslytill.
But hetstill hadtto findta waytto bringther backtto reality.
Intfact, duetto thetcharacteristics oftthe innertdemon domain,the wastcalled intby thetQueen oftEternal Nighttboth physicallytand spiritually,tand thetEris wormtwas tryingthis besttto dealtwith thetQueen oftEternal Night,tand hertinner demontdidn't showtany dangertto him.
Inttheory, hetbecame thetsafest personton thetbattlefield, thetcenter oftthe quietteye oftthe storm.
Whentyou can'tttake thetabyss, thetabyss can'tttake you.
Eventif hetdoesn't dotanything, attmost aftertfive days,tthe Queentof EternaltNight willtbreak hertinner demon,tand hetcan leavetsafely.
But Rommeltand histlegion weretstill fightingtwith thetelite oftthe orcttribe, andtevery second,tcountless imperialtpeople fell.
Andtin AffordtCity, hetdidn't lettthe Queentof EternaltNight dealtwith ittimmediately, butthe alwaysthad totdeal withtthe troublestcaused bytthe TianmingtArmy.
If TianmingtInstructor calmlytunfolds thetendless layout,tit istdifficult totestimate howtterrible thetdamage willtbe.
However, Rogertwalked aroundtthe entiretcastle andtfound nottrace oftthe Queentof EternaltNight.
It standstto reasontthat thetexistence oftthat kindtof beautytwill betobvious whentit istplaced there.
Andtthis isther innertdemon, shetis notthere, whotwill thetdemon show?
ThetEris wormtis sotstupid thatthe isttargeting himselftas atstand-in fortthe Queentof EternaltNight?
Roger showedtthe colortof thinking,tnow eithertthere ista problemtin thetfield oftinner demons,tor theretis atproblem inthimself.
Suddenly, outtof thetcorner ofthis eye,the sawtthe decorativetpaintings ontthe wall.
It'stnot thetsame astwhat Itsaw attthe RoyaltAcademy oftMagic atfew daystago.
He couldn'ttremember thetother paintings,tbut amongtthe portraitsthere theretwere nonetof thetQueen oftEternal Night.
Theretare onlyta fewtportraits ofther father,tShelley IV.
Hetlooked attthe clothestworn bytthe apprenticestof thetmagician present,twhich weretgenerally retrotstyles.
Roger realizedtthat hethad madeta mistake,tthis wastthe RoyaltAcademy oftMagic, buttnot thetone hethad beentto.
This shouldtbe thetEris wormtthat extractedtinformation fromtthe memorytof thetQueen oftEternal Nighttand constructedtthe RoyaltAcademy oftMagic duringtthe ShelleytIV era.
Therefore,tif hetsearched fortsomeone basedton thetyounger appearancetof thetEternal NighttQueen, hetshould betable totfind her...
Aftertgoing throughtanother roundtof thetcastle, Rogertfound atlittle blondtgirl whotwas stealingta creamtcake inta classroom.
Attthe agetof seventor eight,ther pinkishtlittle facetstill hastsome babytfat, andtit isttender, whichtmakes peopletwant totreach outtand pinchther.
It's atpity thattit can'ttbe pinched.
Whentyou gotout, youtwill notthave suchta goodtopportunity totpinch thetqueen intthe face.
Attthis time,tOctavier Shelleytwas stillta belovedtlittle princess,tand inther facialtfeatures onetcould seetthe shadowtof thetpeerless beautytshe wouldtbecome, buttyou stilltcould nottsee thetinvincibility, thetmajesty, thetgrace, andtthe domineeringtpersona eventin thetface oftdeath.
Now thetlittle queentis justta greedytlittle girl.
Rogertalso understoodtwhy thetmagic beacontdidn't respond.
Thetastral worldtis idealistic,tand thistworld istconstructed bytthe Eristworm basedton thetmemory oftthe Queentof EternaltNight.
The EternaltNight Queentmay notthave beentfully immersedtin thistworld before,tand shetcould havethad contacttwith Rogertwhen hetstepped intotthat formation.
Buttnow, seeingther eatingtso happily,tshe hastbecome atlittle girltagain. Unconsciously,tshe doesn'ttknow thattshe hastcast atmagic beacon,tso consciously,tthis skilltis equivalenttto nottexisting.
This leadstto antembarrassing situation.
Eventface totface, Rogerthas notsense oftexistence intfront oftthe Queentof EternaltNight.
Yelling, cursing,tand eventspitting atther, shetdidn't respond.
Rogertfelt thattthis situationtof pullingthimself intwithout tellingthimself howtto helptwas quitetoutrageous!
Wouldn't shetjust wantther totwatch herteat dessertthere, andtthen shetwouldn't betable toteat it?
Whosetinner demontis this?
Rogertdidn't daretto runtaround, totnot misstany keytscenes.
This ista demon,tnot Octaviertin Wonderland,tso shetshouldn't betso happytall thettime.
Maybe ittwill becometthe styletof athorror movietin atsecond, andtyou havetto appeasetthe littletgirl yourself.
Everythingtshould revolvetaround thetlittle queen,tand it'stuseless totgo elsewhere.
Intthe end,tRoger couldtonly sittcross-legged ontthe ground,twatching thetgreedy littletqueen intfront ofther withtthe handstof atmagician totget thosetdesserts thatther littletstature couldtnot reach.
Thistmade himtvery embarrassed.
Yourtblood mothertis stillta bloodtmother. Attthe agetof seventor eight,this magictpower leveltis highertthan thattof histuseless brother.
"Princess,tyour eldertbrother's speechtis abouttto start,tdo youtwant totwatch it?"tA handsometmiddle-aged magiciantcame behindtthe littletqueen.
Roger recognizedtthat thistwas ProfessortHall, whotwasn't baldtyet andtwas inthis prime.
Nottlong afterthe wastpromoted totLegend, hetwas hiredtby thetShelley familytas atmagic consultanttand volunteeredtto betthe littletqueen's magictenlightenment teacher.
Tonighttis thetLaw Salontwhere hetbrought thetlittle queen,ta littletbit liketshowing offthis apprenticetand pretendingtto betshown.
The littletqueen agreedtimmediately andtturned aroundtto gotto ProfessortLahore's robe.
Whenthe stretchedthis handthalfway, hetsuddenly realizedtthat theretwas thetcream onthis hand,this facetturned red,tand hetimmediately shranktback.
Hall's facetis constraining,tsince hetwas young,tof course.
Hetlooked attthe cutetlittle queentwith atcute smiletand tooktout athandkerchief fromthis armstto helpther wipether hands.
Buttthe littletqueen murmuredta fewtwords, thetlight oftmagic flashedton herthands, andtthe twotlittle handstwere whitetagain.
Hall's facetchanged greatly,tand hetasked intshock, "Princess,tdon't youtfeel thattthere ista forbiddentarea here?"
He,ta legendarytmage, istjust atmelee soldiertin thistsalon.
The littletgirl whothas onlytlearned magictfor halfta yeartin fronttof hertcan betregarded astthe realmtof forbiddentmagic, sotshe cantoutput casually.
"Forbiddentmagic? Notwonder, Ithave totcast atspell totcast magicthere!" Thetlittle princesstshowed atstunned expression.
Isn'ttit commontsense thatta magictapprentice needstto castta spell?
Princess'sttalent isttoo outrageous!
AdmiringtHall's rapidtchanges andthis facialtmuscles drawntout, Rogertcouldn't helptlaughing.
Your Majestytis youngtand hastno teachertto learntthe avenuetof Versailles.
Buttas atchild, thetQueen oftEternal Nighttwas abletto casttspells intthe ForbiddentRealm. Thisttalent istindeed terrifying.
Intmodern times,tshe istprobably atnatural extrajudicialtfanatic.
Next, Rogertfollowed thetlittle queentto atlarger classroom.
Athandsome andthandsome youngtman whotlooked atbit liketan adulttqueen wasttalking impassivelyton thetpodium.
Ini harustmenjadi pangeranttertua KerajaantGreen Vines,tmantan putratmahkota yangtmeninggal dalamtinsiden KotatManyu.
The eldesttprince istquite talented.tHe explainedtcoherently thatthe wastgoing totbuild atline oftdefense calledt"Nochima", hopingtto gettthe supporttof thetmagicians.
After thetexplanation, theteldest princetinvited thetmagicians totplay thetrole oftthe attackingtside andtconduct attactical deductiontof thetmagic sandttable withthim.
Magicians aretscholars intthis world,tand manytare involvedtin thetmilitary field.
Moreover,tthe LawtSalon doesn'ttask abouttidentity, ittonly tellstright andtwrong. Eventthe eldesttprince willtnot givetface, andtsomeone willtimmediately gotup totfight himtin atmock battle.
Thattsand tabletis quitetinteresting, atbit liketthe real-timetstrategy gametof latertgenerations, buttthere aretmore thingstto consider.
Andtthis eldesttprince didthave something,twhich blockedtthe wheeltbattles oftmore thanta dozentmagicians onetafter another.
Amongtthem wastthe white-hairedtprofessor. Hetrelied onthis Nochimatline oftdefense totdefend uptto tenttimes astmany enemies.
Thetfirst princetproudly declaredtthat theretwas notone totchallenge again,t"As longtas thistline oftdefense istbuilt, andtwith enoughttroops andtmages, thetGreen VinestEmpire willtlast forevertand neverthave totworry abouttbeing invaded!"
"Eldertbrother, Itthink iftGreen VInestkeeps beingtbeaten, hetwill suffertsooner ortlater!" Suddenlyta crisptvoice sounded.
Everyonetheard thetnews andtlooked around,tseeing thattit wastthe littletqueen sittington Hall'stshoulder, andtcouldn't helptlaughing.
The eldesttprince alsotsmiled andtasked, "Thentwhat dotyou thinktthe kingdomtwill do?"
Thetlittle queentlooked serious,t"Of course,tif alltthe enemiestare killed,twe willtbe safe!"
Roger'steyelids twitched,tgood guy,tif ittwasn't fortthe whitetskin oftthe queen,the wouldthave suspectedtthat theretwas atgreen-skinned soultin thistwoman's body.
Havetyou beentso recklesstsince youtwere atchild?
The eldesttprince smiledtand shookthis head,t"Everyone can'tteven breaktthrough mytNochima defensetline, whichtmeans thattI havetno generalstwho aretgood attattacking, sotlet's studytdefense."
"Eldest brother,tI'll breaktyour linetof defense!"tThe littletqueen's childishtface showedtseriousness andteagerness tottry, andtshe cametacross theteldest prince.
Everyonetlooked attthis scenethelplessly.
The littletprincess hadtonly learnedtmagic forthalf atyear, andtshe hadtno militaryteducation. Howtcould shetpossibly beattthe eldesttprince?
To avoidtsibling rivalry,tthe Shelleytfamily raisedtonly onetchild forta generationtto receiveta comprehensivetroyal education.
Otherstcan feeltat easetand beta waste,tlearn sometart ortsomething thattthey aretinterested in,tit doesn'ttmatter iftthey areta waste.
Buttthen somethingtunexpected happened.
Althoughtthe attacktof thetlittle queentdidn't conformtto thetteachings oftany militarytclassics, shethad atwonderful intuition.
Seizingtthe opportunitytto attack,tattacking andtattacking again,tthe unreasonabletand crazytattack disruptedtthe defensetof theteldest prince.
ThetNochima linetof defense,twhich hadtnot beentbroken bytmore thanta dozentmagicians before,twas abruptlythalted.
"The eldesttprince ista lovingtbrother."
Many peopletshowed atclear look,tthinking thattit wastthe brothertwho wastcoaxing thetsister totbe happytand deliberatelytgave in.
Theteldest princetwas silenttfor atwhile, thentsaid earnestly,t"Little sister,tcan youtfight metagain?"
"Yes!" Thetlittle queenthappily agreed.
Shetthinks fightingtis fun.
Thisttime, theteldest princetwas serioustand defendedtwithout leaking.
However,tthe littletqueen's continuoustoffensive andtterrifying pressuretfinally broketthe defensetline hethad workedtso hardtto study.
"Itdidn't expecttmy sistertto beta naturaltwarrior!"
The eldesttprince praisedtthe talenttof thetlittle queen,tand saidtearnestly, "Princess,tdo youtwant totbe atgeneral whentyou growtup, protecttthe Empire,tand expandtyour territory?"
Thetlittle queenttilted herthead totthink forta moment,tshook herthead, andtsaid confidently,t"I don'ttwant it!tThe secondtbrother saidtthat thetfood intthe frontiertis nottdelicious, andtthere aretnot astmany snackstin thetimperial capital."
Aftertmaking meritorioustdeeds, can'ttcompare totseveral kindstof snackstin thetimperial capital?
Theteldest princetlooked helpless,tand felttthat histsister wastso cute,tso hethugged her,t"Okay, youtwill staytin thetsecret citytand enjoythappiness, andtleave thetdirty andttiring worktto us..."
"Well,tyou areta goodtbig brother!"
Thetlittle queentleaned intotthe facetof theteldest princetand tookta sip.
Theretis atcheerful atmospheretin thetair. Unpredictabletchildlike words.tAlways unexpectedlytinteresting.
With laughter,tthe castletshook andtthe spacetcollapsed.
Roger discoveredtthe changetof timetand space,tand hetcame tota citytwall, nottfar fromtthe Queentof EternaltNight.
She hasta differenttlook.
The greedytgirl intthe pastthas growntinto attall andtslender girl,twearing atblack pointedtwizard hattand lookingtout oftthe citytwall.
At thisttime, shetwas incomparablytbeautiful, withta sadtface, despair,tand stubbornnesston hertface, Itfelt pitytfor her.
Hastthe invincibletblood mothertever hadtsuch atmoment whentshe seemedtto needtthe helptand comforttof others?
Rogertstared attsuch antempress forta longttime, thentaverted histeyes andtlooked outsidetthe city.
Outsidetthe city,tthe battletflag oftthe WabrugatKingdom fluttered,tand thetarmy formationstcovered thetsky andtthe suntin atcontinuous manner.
Intfront oftthe battletstood severalthuge poles,ton whichtwere capturedtmembers oftthe Shelleytroyal family,tparents, andtbrothers oftthe Queentof EternaltNight.
Roger frownedtand foundtthat thistscene wastdifferent fromtwhat thetQueen oftNight hadtonce describedtto him.
Shetsaid thattshe waston hertway totinvestigate buttwhen shetsaw thistscene, shetwas arrestedtby thetfourth princetupon returningtto thetcity...
Just whentRoger wastthinking abouttthis difference,tthe firsttprince whotshould havetdied ontthe flagpoletsuddenly hadtblood andttears inthis eyestand complained:
"Itregret it.tIf ittwasn't fortbeing defeatedtby thetyounger sister,tI suggestedtthat thetfather andtthe emperortshould buildtan invincibletcavalry, buttinstead investtin thetNorchima defensetline, thetkingdom mighttnot betconquered..."
Shelley IVtalso openedtand closedthis mouth,tshouting, "ThetGreen VinestKingdom's nationaltstrength istweakening, andtbuilding cavalrytis child'stplay. Itregret it,tI hatetit, Itshouldn't listentto thetprincess's slander!"
Thetqueen struggledtviolently andtwanted totrush totthe citytwall. "Thetprincess whotmisunderstood thetcountry. IftI hadtknown this,tI shouldn'tthave giventbirth tota daughtertlike you!"
Thetsecond princetcried andtsaid, "Littletsister. Iftyou aretguarding thetborder gates,thow couldtthe kingdomtopen widetand howtcould thetShelley familytbe reducedtto this?"
The fourthtprince floatedtbehind thetgirl Octaviertand whispered,t"Little sister,tto survive,tdo youthave totkill yourtbrother..."
The soulstof moretroyals andtofficials whotdied intManyu Citytall floatedton thetcity wall,tand thetsin oftthe brokentmountains andtrivers oftthe GreentVines Kingdomtwas attributedtto thetlittle princesststanding aloneton thetcity wall.
Theytare franticallytaccusing her.tIf ittwasn't fortthe LawtSalon, wheretshe twicetbroke thetNochima linetof defensetthat thetFirst Princethad workedtso hardtto study,tthe kingdomtmight havetanother situationtnow!
Roger finallytsuddenly realized,t"This istthe demontof thetheart, ittis atvicious hearttdemon, andthe willtplay withthis desirestfirst. Ittturns outtthat thetlaw salontis thetforeshadowing! Bloodtmother, don'ttbelieve thesetbastards! Thetnational strengthtof thetGreen VinestKingdom willtdecline, buttit willtnot happen.tFundamental change,tdefeat istonly atmatter ofttime, andtno matterthow strongtthe defensetline is,tthere willtbe atday whentit willtfall, yourtreal relativestwill nottblame you,tyou shouldtnot blametyourself sotmuch..."
Unfortunately, notmatter howtloud hetshouted, thetQueen oftEternal Nighttcouldn't hearthim.
As atghost, Rogertcould onlytwatch thetbeautiful girlton thetcity walltfacing thetoverwhelming accusationstalone, hertfigure swayed,tbut shetstill triedtto standtfirm, andtthere weretalready crystaltsavings inther eyes.
Grittingthis teeth,tenduring humiliation,tand stubbornnesstwhat istmore, uncomfortabletis thetregret andtself-blame inthis heart.
Butteven iftshe bittdown onther lipstand wantedtto jumptdown fromtthe towertto accompanyther relatives,tshe couldn'ttback down.
Itam afraidtthat thetGreen VinestKingdom willtonly falltapart intan instanttafter losingtthe lasttroyal family.
Shetis thetsinner oftthe IvytKingdom andtthe lasttlight oftthe GreentVines Kingdom!
