What era is it, still traditional card making

Just as Valen was still thinking hard, suddenly a piece of white paper floated into her hands.

Looking at the contents on the paper, she couldn't help but recall the conversation she heard in the hotel.

"Could it be that this is not a true or false question, but a multiple choice question?"

A: Agree to Kelly and the others' request, return to Glowing City, and destroy the ceremony here.

B: Reject their request and continue to escape from Glowing City.

C: Kill the existence deep in the palace dungeon. Only by killing it completely can you survive.

Valen has already chosen option A and B, and now only option C is left.

She looked at the ceremony arranged near the city gate and couldn't help but secretly guess in her heart:

"Could it be that simply destroying the ritual has no effect at all, and may even have a counter-effect, so the Sword of Dutrane rejected my call?

If we really want to resolve the crisis in Glowing City, then we can only find the root cause and kill the thing hidden deep in the dungeon?

Sword of Dutrane, is this what you wanted to tell me?"

Valen really wanted the iron sword in his hand to respond to him, but unfortunately, the Sword of Dutlaner still did not react. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary iron sword.

She knew that she didn't have much time left for herself.

When she was leaving the hotel, many soldiers had already seen her. If she continued to stay here, she would most likely be besieged.

Valen raised his head, looked towards the direction of the palace, and asked himself in his heart:

"So should I choose C? What if I make the wrong choice? What if there is an option D? Then I might really face failure this time."

With the help of the Sword of Dutrane, Valen had already forgotten what failure felt like.

She has always firmly believed that she can always bask in glory and will never fail.

The Sword of Dutrane did not respond this time, which meant that she could only trust her own judgment this time.

A glorious future,

Or the end of death,

The choice was in her hands.

Valen took a deep breath, finally stood up, and walked towards the palace.

If she chose to escape now, she would have a high chance of surviving, but this would definitely not be a future full of glory. She was absolutely sure of this at the moment.

Only by getting rid of the thing deep in the dungeon can this crisis be over.

If he is not dealt with now, then even if he escapes now, he will still suffer backlash in the future.

After thinking through all this, Valen's steps at this moment seemed extremely firm.

She had long forgotten the taste of failure and did not want to taste it again. Even if she died, she wanted to die in glory. This was her choice.

On the other hand, not long after she left,

Ye Qiong and others came to the city gate. After not finding any trace of Valen, Kelly immediately expressed her guess:

"escaped?"

Ye Qiong half-knelt down and checked the land around him. There was no residual magic power, nor any signs of damage.

Obviously, Valen did not activate the power of the Sword of Dutraner and destroy the ceremony as originally planned.

As for the guess that Kelly just made, Ye Qiong didn't think that he ran away.

Valen has always trusted the judgment of the Sword of Dutran. When he met them before, the Sword of Dutran did not make any movement. In a way, this actually explains everything.

In the eyes of the Sword of Dutran, they were not enemies, but partners who could help Valen escape the crisis, so the Sword of Dutran did not attack them.

Valen has been with this sword for such a long time, how could he not understand this?

When she chose to return to Glowing City, she should have roughly understood.

If she didn't resolve this crisis, even if she escaped now, she would still die one day in the future due to the backlash of her choice today.

Ye Qiong has witnessed this in the future.

The thing from the Glowing City finally descended upon the Tucker Continent. The obsidian light it emitted deprived all life of its energy supply, plunging the entire continent into famine.

Among them was Valen herself. Even with the sword of Dutrane in hand, she was not spared.

Perhaps it was because she made the wrong choice that she was unable to move towards a glorious future and could only die so hastily?

As the master of the sword, Valen should know this better than anyone else.

Ye Qiong didn't think that the reason she didn't destroy the ceremony was because she was afraid and wanted to escape. In her last reincarnation, she dared to draw her sword even when facing an evil god that was several times more powerful than herself. Would she really give in so easily?

Unless the Sword of Dutrane gives guidance,

Simply destroying the ceremony set up at the city gate is not enough to resolve the crisis. If she really wants to survive, she can only solve the problem from the root.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiong unconsciously turned his gaze towards the direction of the imperial palace.

If we want to solve the problem from the root, then we can only start from here, right?

Kelly followed Ye Qiong's gaze and took the initiative to ask:

"Where do you think she went?"

"Besides that, I don't think there's anywhere else for her to go."

"Let's go take a look?"

At this moment, many soldiers were rushing towards them. It seemed that their previous actions had completely angered the royal family, so much so that they gave up besieging the Sunday Society and instead chose them as the target of attack.

Ye Qiong didn't intend to waste too much time on these soldiers.

Now that he had determined where Valen was going, he had nothing to hesitate about.

He walked towards the palace. Seeing this, Kelly and Edas followed him decisively.

Valen acted very quickly. After making a judgment, he immediately ran to the vicinity of the palace.

The only problem now before her was,

How should I hide from the strong men in the city and sneak into the palace?

Max, the owner of the palace, quickly told her the answer to this question.

Valen, who was hiding in the bushes, clearly saw that a large number of men in black robes were constantly walking out of the palace. Among them were strong men in the Saint Realm, and the strongest one had even reached the Legendary Realm.

This is totally inconsistent with the information she received!

Wasn't it agreed that there would only be one Saint Realm in the Imperial Palace? What was going on?

Valen didn't dare to breathe loudly, he just hid in the bushes and watched these strong men leave silently.

Maybe it was because they were in too much of a hurry, or maybe it was because they didn't think that any thieves would dare to sneak into the palace at this time, so they didn't use their mental power to sense the surroundings when they left.

This gave Valen an opportunity.

The strong men in the palace have already left. Isn’t this the best time to sneak in?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but kiss the sword of Dutrane in her hand.

As the owner of this sword, she knew very well that everything that happened now was not accidental. It must be the Sword of Dutran that led her here.

Valen tiptoed over the tall wall and successfully sneaked into the palace.

Along the way, she only saw some guards with strength around the Silver Realm. These guards were not to be feared at all. Valen easily bypassed them and successfully arrived at Max's bedroom.

This place is quite large, Valen can only rely on his intuition to move forward, hoping that his luck will be better and he can find the room where the dungeon is hidden sooner.

But she soon realized that there was no need to go around in circles like this anymore.

Because she found that a demon suddenly appeared in front of her,

This demon wore a crown, held a scepter, and wore very luxurious clothes.

Valen could tell at a glance that this demon was not simple. Then she took a closer look at what this demon looked like.

Hey,

Old Tyr had just shown her Max's portrait not long ago, and she didn't expect to find the real owner so quickly.

Perhaps it was because Max was so eager to spread the "famine" intelligence that he only left two Sanctuary Realm guards by his side.

Valen knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would not be so easy to catch Max next time.

So she acted decisively and charged directly towards where Max was.

As she launched the attack, her concealment was dispersed by the huge amount of magic power.

So the two Sanctuary Realm guards who were responsible for protecting Max soon discovered that an outsider had invaded the palace.

A taller demon in the lead shouted loudly:

"Enemy attack, protect your majesty."

He was indeed shouting very fast, but it was still not as fast as Valen's sword.

In less than a breath, she had arrived beside another Saint Realm guard. The tip of her knife slashed across the demon's neck, leaving only a trace of blood, and the demon fell to the ground.

Are the demons in the Holy Land so weak?

No, it’s not because he is too weak, but because the sword in Valen’s hand is too strong.

During the charge, Valen was surprised to find that the Sword of Dutraner was gradually emitting a strange light.

As the master of the sword, Valen knew that this was a sign that the Sword of Dutrane would be unleashed.

Since the Sword of Dutran is willing to release its power, it proves that her judgment is correct. Simply destroying the ceremony outside the city will have no effect at all. The culprit must be dealt with before this matter can be considered over.

After thinking about this, Valen swung his sword faster and faster.

She had to get rid of these guards as soon as possible and then get information about the dungeon from Max.

The demons in the Holy Land are nothing in front of the Sword of Durran.

Soon, the two Saint Realm demons and the dozen guards who came to support them were all dealt with by Valen.

She originally thought that after the guards were dealt with, Max, who was isolated and helpless, would fall into a state of extreme panic. She couldn't wait to hear from Max what the crappy villain would say before he died.

Max was not as panicked as she had imagined. On the contrary, he was quite calm at the moment.

He looked coldly at the corpses under his feet, as if he was looking at a group of ants, and did not regard them as his subordinates at all.

"Useless thing, can't even stop a witch."

After Max said this coldly, he immediately turned his gaze to Valen.

"You are the one who spread rumors around the city?"

Max's abnormal behavior made Valen a little uneasy.

According to the intelligence, Max is just a gluttonous demon of the gold realm. How could he have the confidence to talk to her like that?

Wait a moment,

The previous intelligence also said that there should be only one Saint Realm master in the entire palace. I have just killed two of them, so none of this intelligence is correct!

The information that Max is at the Golden Realm must be false. His strength is at least above the Legendary Realm, so he has the confidence to talk to her like that.

After thinking about this, Valen's attitude became more cautious, for fear that he would be killed by this guy who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger because of a moment of negligence.

Max seemed a little angry because he hadn't received a reply yet. He looked coldly at the witch in front of him and asked again:

"Answer my question, were you the one who spread the rumors in the city?"

"Whether it's a rumor or not, you should know it best."

Valen held the sword tightly in his hand, and after saying this, he charged forward.

She was moving so fast that only a shadow could be seen passing through the corridor.

After seeing Valen launching an attack, there was no panic on Max's face. After saying "rude guy" coldly, he stretched out his right hand, apparently intending to cast a spell to intercept Valen.

But, did Max realize one thing?

That is, at Valen's speed, the sword would pierce his heart before he could finish chanting the spell.

Given Max's current situation, it would be quite stupid for him to stay where he is and cast spells.

After seeing Max's evil choice, Valen was stunned for a moment, then quickly continued to hold the sword tightly in his hand and rushed towards Max.

The result was pretty much as she expected.

Max's magic hasn't been used yet, but the sword of Dutrane has already pierced his chest.

Deep purple blood dripped onto the red carpet.

The entire assassination process went so smoothly that even Valen, the person involved, felt caught off guard.

"It's so easy to kill the mastermind? Isn't this too easy?"

She was about to draw the sword, but suddenly found a hand on the sword. When she looked up, Max was looking at her with a cold gaze. (End of this chapter)
