My exclusive card pool

Chapter 133 This is Qingmei's Victory

When Wang Xi opened his eyes again.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

A night has passed.

The eerie blue flames burning on his body had died down at some point, and his body was now overflowing with magical power.

Wang Xi suddenly discovered that a beautiful flower bush had grown on the ground where he had been kneeling—not large, but a circle several meters in diameter surrounding him.

Colorful flowers bloom all around, exuding fragrance. The fluorescent green natural elements and the azure ice elements are exceptionally vibrant, while also gathering a rich magic.

He looked up.

Cinderella was standing not far in front of him, raising her hands to maintain the magic, her eyes closed, her face pale, and her hair damp with sweat.

Protecting the flowerbed...

Wang Xi certainly knew about this magic.

He also realized that Godaril had been silently watching over him all night.

Godariel is only a three-star elite, and after so much time, her magic power definitely won't hold up... This silly girl is probably wasting her life force.

Swish!
Wang Xi stood up, strode over to the girl in the gray robe, and grabbed her hand.

"Godalier."

He called out.

"Hmm?" Hearing the familiar voice, Godariel opened her eyes. When the young man's face came into view, a look of surprise appeared on her pale face. "Gai, you're alright?!"

"It's alright." Wang Xi shook his head. "Stop casting the spell quickly."

Godaril had actually been on the verge of collapse for a long time, but her worry and concern for Kai outweighed her physical and mental exhaustion, and she continued to persevere.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she breathed her last, she felt dizzy and collapsed.

Wang Xi reacted quickly, immediately catching Godalier. The girl in the gray robe leaned into his arms, breathing heavily, but an irrepressible joy made her chuckle softly:
"Gai, I'm so glad you're alright... I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to hold on and that you wouldn't be able to absorb enough magic power."

"..."

Wang Xi was initially puzzled. Logically speaking, even if he had defeated the blue flame through meditation, his magical power should have been depleted, not so abundant.

He now understood that this was all thanks to Godalier. This girl had completely disregarded her own safety and worked beyond her capacity to guard the flowerbeds for him.

"Thank you, Godalil."

Wang Xi wiped the sweat from the girl's face and then took out a spare "secondary treatment drug".

This green one-star item card was drawn from the Palace Sorcerer Guild's card pool. It has the effect of replenishing health, but the side effect is drowsiness.

boo.

He pried open the cork with his thumb, held the bottle to Godard's lips, and said gently:
"Drink it, you've used up too much energy."

Godaril stared at him blankly, without saying a word, and finally just obediently opened her mouth.

"Goo."

The unusually bitter and strange-tasting medicine entered her mouth, but she didn't even frown. Instead, she enjoyed it immensely, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

She enjoyed being taken care of by Kai.

if it is possible.

I want to stay in his arms forever.

After finishing the entire bottle of potion, Godariel felt her depleted life force slowly recovering. Fortunately, the replenishment was timely, and there would be no lasting side effects.

"Are you feeling better?" Wang Xi asked.

"Ok!"

A blush appeared on Godariel's pale face, whether from the effects of the potion or from the ripples quietly stirring in her heart, it was hard to tell.

Once she was able to stand up a little, Wang Xi took the time to check her condition.

"Winter Meditation Technique (Skill Card/Deep Blue Two-Star): 10/600"

Meditation increased my experience by 10 points.

Upon examining the magical soil within, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that the seed of magic had already sprouted!
The originally tiny, ice-blue seed swelled up, and a crystal-clear sprout grew from it.

This means that Wang Xi has advanced from the "sowing" stage to the "germination" stage... What ordinary wizards need to cultivate for several years, he completed in just over half a month.

At the same time, he also discovered that his upper limit of magic power had significantly increased—to use a quantitative analogy, it was roughly equivalent to increasing from 28 to 35.

This is not only due to the advancement of meditation techniques, but also to the tempering of the blue flames and Godariel's long-term assistance at the cost of her own life force.

It's very difficult to replicate this again.

Twenty orbs of light floated silently in my mind.

14 Green cards belong to the "Northern Warriors" card pool.

"Northern Shaman" card pool: 5 dark green, 1 blue.

Wang Xi didn't rush to draw the card.

He first looked around and found that the battlefield had been simply cleaned up, leaving only bloodstains and no corpses... None of the elite troops from the north survived; they had all been wiped out.

As for the tribal leaders, there were six of them in total. They were on the verge of death, kneeling by the entrance of the cave, guarded by two Moon Fortress Demon Wolves.

Sera was rescued, the paint on her face washed away, though her complexion was still a little pale. She was wrapped in a thick brown woolen robe and crouched under a tree, while Wendy was talking to her.

Sera seemed a bit distracted, only occasionally responding in a low voice.

...

...

Sera was in a state of utter confusion. Last night, in her most fearful and desperate moment, her prayers had been answered—she had been saved.

But fate played an absurd joke on us.

The person who saved her turned out to be her former fiancé, Kai Farrell.

The black-haired youth in my memory was frail and weak due to Bing Xin's curse, and always carried a competitive and childlike spirit.

But last night he—

Standing in mid-air like a king of winter.

Under the glow of the campfire, the blood of the northerners bloomed beneath his sword, and as his black cloak billowed, one hideous head after another flew to the ground.

The arrogant northern warriors who had ravaged Rendal fell like stalks of wheat before the snow and ice he summoned.

At that moment, Gai seemed strangely unfamiliar, which was unsettling.

he's changed.

He became more confident, more mature, and stronger... radiating an indescribable aura of power that even his father, Count Barto, had never possessed.

What Sera found even more unbelievable was that the rumors of the "Queen's Sword" were true. Not only had Gai become the Prince of Stag, but he had also led a large army to aid the North and had already recaptured the two Earldoms of Heck and Ienz along the way.

The northern army that had been burning, killing, and looting in Rendal was also wiped out... Even Wendy, the traitor, became a prisoner.

But it was Wendy's request that prompted Kai to rush over to rescue her that very night.

Sera's heart was trembling violently.

She felt a strong sense of regret that she couldn't quite explain, yet she dared not face Gai as she was now.

"Sera, are you alright?"

Just then, a familiar voice came, pulling Sera back to reality.

She suddenly jolted awake.

Looking up, he saw the black-haired youth standing in front of him with the gray-robed girl.

“Lord Gai.” Wendy bowed respectfully to him, stepped back a few paces, and stood behind him like a follower.

Sera looked at the young man with a complicated expression.

"I..." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she only said, "I'm fine, thank you, Jia Yi."

The former countess, now a girl who has lost everything, crouches on the ground like an injured puppy, looking up at the young prince... and the gray-robed witch beside him.

This girl, named Godaril, was once an insignificant peasant girl in the Randall family. Sera knew she was Kai's childhood playmate, but never paid her any attention.

Because in Sera's mind, childhood sweethearts can never truly overcome the gap in their social status.

But now it seems that the idea was ridiculous.

If I had been the one who left with Kai, would the outcome have been different?
Sera didn't know, and dared not think about it anymore.

She buried her head in her arms, overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions: intense frustration, the sadness of losing everything, and a sense of helplessness about the future.

Silent tears fell.

Goddariel leaned close to Kai, coldly watching the former Miss Sera, a strange sense of pleasure rising within her—in the end, she had triumphed in this battle without bloodshed.

From the moment the two walked toward Sera, she took the initiative to link arms with Kai, as if deliberately showing off something... Now that I think about it, I can't help but feel secretly delighted.

Kai did not refuse further intimacy!

...

...

Perhaps due to the side effects of the drug, or perhaps due to overexertion and not having slept all night, Godariel couldn't hold on any longer after the initial excitement wore off.

Wang Xi escorted her back to the candy carriage and settled her in before returning to the lakeside.

"Mr. Gai, what do you intend to do with the leaders of those northern tribes?"

Sugar Witch Bev stood quietly by the lake and asked casually.

Wang Xi thought for a moment and replied:

“Bring Daphne back and let Her Majesty Queen Siana make the decision.”

“Hmm.” Bev nodded, seemingly unconcerned about the matter. Her beautiful eyes flickered, her tone tinged with admiration: “Sir, you have once again surprised me. You withstood the Northern Shaman’s secret methods with just the magic absorbed through meditation… truly remarkable.”

"Thanks to Teacher Isabella's meditation method and the curse on my body."

Wang Xi shook his head and sighed.

"Otherwise, the outcome is unpredictable."

“You’re too modest, sir.” Beverly covered her mouth and chuckled. “Isn’t it because of your own talent, and that… admirable perseverance?”

"Ms. Bev, you are so kind."

Wang Xi glanced again at Sophia, who was not far behind Bev, bending over to look at her reflection in the lake. He then bowed slightly, deliberately speaking a little louder:

"Thank you so much for this, as well as the noble and powerful Miss Sophia... After this battle, the predicament in the North has been resolved, the North has been severely weakened, and Her Majesty Queen Siana's biggest worry has finally been eradicated."

Upon hearing this, Bev smiled and said "You're welcome," then gracefully returned the greeting by lifting the hem of her pink skirt with both hands.

As for Sofia.

As if she hadn't heard them, she kept her back to the two of them, didn't turn around, and bent down to fix her golden twin ponytails in front of the lake.

But the lake reflected her tightly pursed lips and the smug look on her face.

"Hmph!" Sophia crossed her arms, kicked a pebble lightly, and muttered under her breath, "A human who has just stepped into the realm of magic, who needs your praise?"

There was a crash.

A pebble broke the surface of the lake, creating ripples that just happened to scatter the young man's reflection.
