Successors of all mankind

Chapter 106 Poor cousin (4k)

Count Rhine was quite certain that if he hadn't been watching closely, he probably wouldn't have realized that the Prince had actually placed a laurel wreath on his head.

When did this happen?

And for what reason?

While watching Yu Le with curiosity, Count Rhein did not forget to direct the engineering corps to urgently repair the bridge.

Although there were no casualties, Bourbon II had just made a complete mess of the place.

If they don't quickly fix something to temporarily cover the roof, they'll all have to brave the strong winds to direct the journey later.

"Never mind this for now, fix the Prince's place first!"

It was astonishing that the engineers had confused the priorities, or rather, the priorities in the presence of the important person.

Count Rhein couldn't help but rebuke him.

He knew, of course, that he should start repairing from the bottom, where it was easiest to begin, but wouldn't that mean the area where the prince was would be the last place to be airtight?

It's one thing if the taxi driver below doesn't understand, but with so many people watching, how come none of them understand?

How incompetent, but...

The furious Prince Rhine suddenly remembered something.

That is, he seems to have forgotten something.

I just remember it seemed to be related to a prince?

The sudden memory lapse made Prince Rhine quickly look at Yule, lest he forget something very important.

But looking back, there was still nothing to be found.

The prince simply sat in his seat, quietly watching them work.

They perfectly fulfilled their role as the backbone of the organization.

So what exactly did I forget?

Count Rhine looked at Yu Le again and again, trying to confirm his confusion.

No matter how many times his gaze swept over Yu Le, he couldn't notice the suddenly appearing golden laurel wreath.

Clearly, this is already the most eye-catching thing here.

Moreover, each time he looks at it, he overlooks even more.

When I finally turned my gaze away from Yu Le.

He didn't even remember what he had forgotten; he just thought he was checking the condition of the pillars.

The prince is the backbone of all of them; he cannot afford to have any problems.

The same applies to the others.

Their reactions were also observed by Yu Le.

It seems that something greatly provoked either Bourbon II or Princess Emerald.

The laurel wreath, which had previously been a very vague 'revelation,' suddenly became clear at that moment.

The sound that should have been inaudible rang out again in Yu Le's ears.

They told themselves, "Wear the laurel wreath, bless the jade, and have nothing to worry about."

After a moment's hesitation, Yu Le put on the laurel wreath and wished Emerald victory.

This relic, created by humanity in its final moments, seems to be a kind of psionic amplifier to me.

It is a small miracle that allows one to completely sever ties with psychic powers.

Before wearing it, Yu Le thought the phrase was a blessing for Princess Emerald to win, so that she wouldn't have to worry about Bourbon II's return.

But now, looking at the reactions of the people around him, Yu Le suddenly realized.

There's no need to worry about that; it seems there's no need to worry about others noticing the small gesture of wearing a laurel wreath.

To confirm this.

After coughing, Yu Le turned to the obsequious traveler beside him, who looked every bit the sycophant:

"Did you notice anything?"

The traveler paused, noticing something.

What should I pay attention to?

The traveler's gaze swept blankly over Yu Le's body, from the epaulets to the cuffs, from the collar to the belt, and then stopped on Yu Le's face.

Then, he asked cautiously:

"Your Highness, I didn't notice anything. What do you mean?"

"Did you notice anything different from before?"

Yu Le deliberately leaned forward to highlight the laurel wreath he was wearing.

But the traveler's answer remained the same:

“Your Highness, I am truly foolish and have not discovered anything.”

Seeing that the person who had been staying behind him was like this, Yu Le finally said with satisfaction:

"It's nothing, just asking casually."

The traveler, not daring to ask any more questions, could only retreat, bewildered and confused.

Then he kept thinking about what he had overlooked.

Even if that laurel wreath was right in front of him!

Finally, Yu Le looked at her wrist again, where Pandora was constantly monitoring her physical condition.

Pandora should know, right?

Yu Le then asked:

"how about you?"

"I haven't noticed anything, sir. I haven't noticed anything that needs attention."

Yu Le was stunned, and Pandora didn't even notice.

Humans can't see it, and neither can AI?

Yu Le put her hands down and leaned back in her chair.

He wasn't sure if his earlier probing had truly answered all his questions, but one thing he was certain of:

Psychic power is indeed, as Pandora said, more of a miracle than a quantifiable ability.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield between the Emerald Princess and Bourbon II.

The outline of the mountain that had been blasted through still retained the huge dent left by the impact.

Bourbon II's figure had just emerged from the crater and was rising into the air at an even faster speed than before.

His left cheek was still swollen, but the swelling was receding at a visible rate, and the freckles were reappearing on his skin.

He distanced himself from pleasure, and Princess Emerald deliberately pulled him into an area far from her.

This is to prevent myself from trying to engage in entertainment again.

He felt it was meaningless until the other person threw a punch.

I was born hundreds of years earlier than the other person.

The power of the divine offspring comes from the purity of their bloodline and time.

I am undoubtedly stronger than her.

Therefore, there's no need for me to even think about doing anything through entertainment. The other party's defensiveness is ridiculously unnecessary.

But after that punch landed...

His confidence was completely gone.

So why is it so amazing?

The swelling on my face has completely disappeared, but the lost teeth will not grow back, and the excruciating pain that pierces my heart is still vivid in my mind.

As for the so-called power of love that the Jade Princess emphasized.

He didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart!

That's just a bunch of stupid things made by a bunch of idiots.

He clenched and unclenched his fist, feeling the sluggish, aching sensation coming from his fingertips.

He has been hurt and he has lost.

But that was when he was facing his uncle, a descendant of a god who was born more than a thousand years earlier than him, and who also possessed the same purity as his father.

He deserved to lose.

But this time it was different; his opponents were his own contemporaries, all of whom only had a quarter of human blood.

They shouldn't have any bloodline difference; they have been leading for hundreds of years.

How...how could this happen?

Confusion rose from the bottom of my heart, and fear began to spread from the pain.

However, he had no intention of running away yet.

He can't back out.

He knew better than anyone that if he escaped again this time, he would truly have nothing left.

He had no other church to support him, nor so many nobles to follow him.

He turned to the side, allowing the edge of his gaze to vaguely catch the direction of the gap in the bridge in the distance.

Yu Le was right there, and his brother-in-law was sitting in the commander's seat.

Bourbon II glanced at Emerald's position; she was standing between him and the bridge, maintaining an orientation that he could not easily break through.

He had to get around her.

He began to move sideways, slowly, testing her reaction.

Jade slightly turned her body, adjusting her orientation so that he could not directly approach Yule without passing by her.

Bourbon II moved a few more steps, and she moved the same distance as him.

He stopped, and she stopped too.

After several attempts, he finally realized one thing: the other party's defenses were correct from the beginning.

I was too arrogant...

She understands me very well, but I don't understand her.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

This is ancient human wisdom, but the one who actually put it into practice was not himself...

So he did something he hadn't planned to do.

He stopped and then rushed directly towards Yule.

This time, he didn't use his psionic energy to build up his strength or prepare any offensive moves; he simply focused all his speed on a straight-line sprint.

His figure left a trail of smoke in the air, a fleeting moment of breathtaking beauty.

Looking at the bridge getting closer and closer.

Bourbon II felt his dopamine levels soaring.

Because he saw the dawn of victory.

After years of living on the run, he didn't develop any other skills, but his ability to escape was unparalleled.

This also gave him extreme speed!

This time, he even noticed that his cousin's eyes couldn't follow his movements.
