After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Chapter 66 My Sister is an Elf Half-Blood

Stardust Harbor, in front of the meteorite.

The morning sea breeze blows, and the rising sun shines on the dock.

Four figures walking along the official road attracted the attention of almost all the residents and guards in the vicinity.

Following Hogan Stoneskin's gaze, four people appeared: two men and two women.

The man on the left is dressed in orange-red heavy armor, is over 2.3 meters tall, and holds a heavy halberd. He exudes an aura of immense pressure.

The man on the right holds a shield in one hand, with a knife hidden inside. He has a scar near his eye. Although he is only wearing ordinary mercenary clothes, the "Imperial Elite" badge on his chest is extremely eye-catching, allowing anyone to judge his formidable strength in an instant.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that both the heavily armored Demon Mountain and the grinning general have a strange, dark red light flickering in their eyes, constantly swirling deep within their pupils.

"Miss Katarina, we've reached our destination. I've fulfilled my mission and safely escorted you here."

In the middle, Fiora, riding a white falcon, lifted the nun off its back, her face full of weariness.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Fiora. I will remember your kindness."

Katarina smiled sweetly at her.

There was no genuine gratitude in her smile.

So much happened along the way.

The empire is in turmoil.

The king is dead, and the second prince shall ascend the throne.

But the one who truly controls the royal family is actually the woman who received him before.

Her name is Victoria.

As Katarina recalled their encounter before the throne, a hint of apprehension flickered in her crimson eyes.

[An unknown race, an unknown rank, unknown attributes, and an identity of unknown origin.]

Even under the scrutiny of his advanced appraisal technique, "Black Magic Eye," he was unable to discern any information about Victoria.

It was precisely these unknowns that made Katarina certain of one thing: "She is not human."

"Just a woman in human skin."

She parachuted into the Alevant Empire and became the second prince's so-called mentor. She proclaimed herself the empire's prophet and the new queen, teaching the second prince cruel and bloody knowledge and twisting his mind.

Now that the king has died and the old sage is said to have died as well, Volta, who could have seized the opportunity to stage a coup, has actually chosen to remain under her thumb and obey her orders.

Such a counterintuitive act can only mean one thing: this woman has a way to control Volta, just as she can casually send these two warriors with overflowing "dark" power to her side.

If Fiora hadn't insisted on coming along, would I have been able to reach Stardust Harbor successfully?

[Tsk.]

Katarina remained silent, turning her gaze toward the two troublesome individuals.

【Karendel Von, LV60, Humanoid (in the process of mutation)】

Commander of the Royal Guard of the Alevant Empire, a general directly under the new Queen Mo, known as the "Imperial Bulwark." His weapon is the Infernal Soul-Locking Enchanted Heavy Halberd, forged from mithril steel, three meters long, with a chain at the end that can extend and retract freely. Anyone struck by it will be cursed and die within a few breaths.

Aura of Darkness: 69.

Another person.

Sean Lorenz, LV62, Humanoid (alienated)

He is the leader of a top-tier mercenary group specially hired by the Empire, and a sharp-edged general of the Fourth Legion. He has long partnered with Kader to carry out top-level sniping missions. He is well-rounded in both offense and defense, with no weaknesses in his skill set. He combines surprise attack, containment, defense, and finishing blows, and is also quite adept at hunting his prey. He is a former bounty hunter from the Batos Commercial Kingdom.

Aura of Darkness: 91.

These two people were arranged by Victoria to "escort" her.

It's ridiculous.

It's a bit like coming to Stardust Harbor to deal with some unclean things.

Katarina shook her head, thinking to herself that if she could, she really wanted to "purify" these two right there and then.

After all, they seem to have a lot of "dark" things going on.

Second only to Ms. Victoria, who has been completely "blackened" and wrapped up in a ball.

He unconsciously made a swallowing motion in his throat. "Thank you all for your hard work. This is enough. I will head directly to the central area of ​​Stardust Harbor to complete my mission. You don't need to follow me any further."

Katarina changed her smile to a harmless one and waved kindly to the two warriors. "Look, it seems the Inspector General has come to greet me."

My gaze shifted.

Not far away, the old goblin Glenn led two rows of fully armed Golden Scales Guard soldiers toward them.

"Oh my! I've long heard that Galatin's new saintess is exceptionally beautiful. I never imagined that on my arrival today, I would be seen off by the Empire's 'Cloud Walkers' and generals from afar. This truly brings honor to my humble port."

The old goblin exchanged a few polite words, while Katarina stepped forward with a fake smile. "Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not a saint yet, just one of the candidates," she corrected.

"Haha, what's the difference? With Miss Katarina's qualifications, the title of Great Saintess next year is undoubtedly yours!"

The old goblin's flattery was astonishing, but the nun merely listened and paid it no mind.

"In my understanding, Stardust Harbor is full of freedom, but there have also been many cases of evil spirits appearing in this area, which have affected many innocent people. I have come here today to go to the place where vengeful spirits gather to send off the souls that are reluctant to leave. I hope the Inspector General will take good care of me."

"No problem, the safety of the young lady can be ensured by the soldiers of the Golden Scales Guard."

Katarina cleverly transferred the guard duties from the dangerous man behind her to the disciplined goblin guards.

Just then, Sean Lorenz, the elite warrior, gave her a mocking, lewd look and clicked his tongue, saying, "How lucky you are, Sister."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Katarina's beautiful eyes darted around, revealing a hint of unease.

"It's nothing, just a little regrettable."

Sean licked his chapped lips, his gaze burning. "But the hunt is always more interesting when you chase the prey slowly. Don't you think?"

His tone suggested that he didn't care about the elite guards nearby at all; the only person he was wary of was the Falcon Knight Fiora beside him.

You know, in this world, no one would not want to taste the flavor of a saint.

Especially Galatine's future Great Saintess.

That's the ultimate experience—one that's worth weighing the pros and cons even when facing hanging.

Unfortunately, the timing wasn't quite right this time.

"Sean, it's time to go."

Behind him, the warrior, the Mountain, issued a warning.

"The Queen's gift must not be missed."

The voice inside the heavy armor was authoritative and steady, sounding like that of a taciturn person who strictly adhered to military orders.

"I understand." Sean raised an eyebrow.

He glanced at Fiora, who had been on guard the whole time, and said simply, "That's all for now, Cloudwalker. You fly your way, my brother and I will just wander around."

He turned and looked towards the Radel Jungle.

""

.

Fiora slowly spread the wings of the white falcon beneath her and took off into the air.

She still has a lot to do.

Although he had previously ventured deep into the dungeon and rescued all the female knights under his command who had been labeled as "potential traitors," the aftermath was still unresolved.

For example, go to the surrounding area to search for traces of Princess Airi and the corpse of the Wind Sword Princess.

Katarina had mentioned during a casual conversation that there truly was a spell in this world capable of reviving the dead and healing the wounded, called "Resurrection"—

"The Living God's Curse".

However, it disappeared into the long river of history a thousand years ago, and no one can replicate it anymore.

Now, new clues have emerged.

The caster must be found successfully.

As a Falcon Knight of the Empire, I am not a high-ranking messenger for the Second Prince or that enchantress Victoria.

Before leaving, I heard from my subordinates that she seemed to be planning to merge the Griffin Knights into the Dragoon Regiment. How ridiculous! How could I possibly agree to such an arrangement? I have to find a way to leave.

No one can restrict the freedom of the cloud walker.

If even the king and princess within this empire were to pass away one after another, then Fiora would truly be unsure for whom she was fighting or what she was fighting for.

Is it for that monthly salary of 120 gold dragon coins?

"I'm so tired."

"If all else fails, let Unicon take me back to my hometown of Rafilas to live in seclusion."

The idyllic scenery of the forest kingdom flashed through her mind, and Fiora, with longing in her eyes, hugged the neck of the white falcon beneath her and whispered, "If only I had more elven blood in me—"
