Chapter 93 Thirteen Princesses and the Lord of the Abandoned Sword (4K)

The bar is closed today.

Lavinia brought Shen Yi to her rented cottage.

Many unclaimed followers from other worlds rent accommodations in the Starry World, since without a duelist contract, they would need to pay points to travel between the two worlds.

For them, who had no source of points to earn, this burden was too heavy, so they might as well just stay in the Starry World.

This is also the origin of those otherworldly living areas in the city.

But the fact that Lavinia was also renting was somewhat unexpected for Shen Yi.

After all, she's a Soul Card follower.

"The room is a bit small, I'm sorry."

Lavinia put down what she was holding; it appeared to be some snacks and wine.

The house she rented was a second-floor room in a detached house. As soon as she sat down, Shen Yi heard noises coming from upstairs and downstairs.

Clearly, there are other tenants here.

This detached house is similar to Shen Yi's house, or even exactly the same.

Is this thing even available for rent?

This was something Shen Yi hadn't considered.

I don't have much of an attachment to that house anyway, and I mainly live in the Elf World now, so I might consider renting it out.

As Shen Yi was thinking, Vera had already placed the girl she had found on the blanket that Lavinia had spread out.

"She looks like a child from the world of blades." Lavinia treated the girl's wounds and came to the same conclusion as Shen Yi.

"We met them on the road. It looks like they were attacked by someone," Shen Yi said, uttering a seemingly pointless remark.

Judging from the girl's appearance, it's clear she couldn't have gotten herself into this state on her own.

"Another one," Lavinia sighed.

Shen Yi stared at Lavinia's face: "It seems this isn't an isolated case?"

He wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, but the world of swords and blades had some connection to Kujuhime.

I recently received an investment from Kujira, so I should at least do something for her.

This was one of the reasons why Shen Yi planned to go see Lavinia that evening.

"The Blade World is currently embroiled in civil war," Lavinia explained. "Different weapon factions are fighting each other, and this war has now spread here."

Vera was immediately puzzled: "Isn't the Blade World controlled by the Ji family? Doesn't the Ji family care about things like civil war?"

"So the Ji family is also fighting amongst themselves."

"Huh?" Vera blinked.

Lavinia thought for a moment and said, "It's like a tail controlling a dog. The Ji family is too deeply tied to the Blade World, so the internal war within the Blade World naturally affects the duelists who build their decks around the Blade World."

"The disputes between these duelists eventually led to internal strife within the Ji family."

After listening, Shen Yi was once again amazed by the Starry World's powerful information control capabilities.

"I didn't even notice—"

I even touched the Blade World deck during the day and didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

There is absolutely no related information online.

None of the duelists from the Ji family that I had come into contact with, whether it was the Thirteenth Princess or the Ninetyth Princess, showed a similar tendency.

If it weren't for Lavinia, Shen Yi would never have believed that the Ji family was fighting amongst themselves.

Lavinia chuckled and said, "Of course! Not to mention you, even that little sister in your club probably doesn't know that her family is fighting amongst themselves."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, as an unclaimed follower from another world making a living in the Starry World, Lavinia's information network is a bit too extensive.

Lavinia smiled as she looked at Shen Yi's scrutinizing gaze and took a bottle of beer from the bag on the ground.

"You should be an adult by now, right? Would you like a drink?"

'

As she spoke, she even swayed back and forth in a very convincing manner.

"No," Vera said warily.

She'd seen this kind of plot before!

The older sister got him drunk and then secretly ate something!

Shen Yi was already very interested in Lavinia, and Vera certainly couldn't give him an opportunity.

"I don't drink." Shen Yi raised his hand and patted Vera's head, then asked directly, "Can you tell me more about the Ji family? I think you should know the Thirteenth Princess, right?"

'

Upon hearing Shen Yi's words, Lavinia suddenly realized what he meant.

"So that's why you came here."

She sighed in feigned disappointment, "I thought you came here specifically to see me."

"7

"You came all this way just to find me, and you agree to become my follower?" Shen Yi asked seriously.

This stumped Lavinia.

Shen Yi laughed and said, "Don't worry, once I reach level six, I'll definitely satisfy you."

Looking at the confident and handsome face of the boy in front of her, Lavinia muttered, "Actually, my standards aren't that rigid—"

She took a deep breath and then said, "I do know something about the Ji family."

Then she recounted what she knew about the Ji family.

Although there was certainly something being concealed, it was enough for Shen Yi to understand the current situation of the Ji family.

Before the internal strife, the Ji family had actually split into two factions.

One faction is led by Ji Wufeng, the current head of the Ji family, and consists of senior members who firmly control the majority of the Ji family's resources.

The other faction was led by the thirteenth princess, who was the younger sister's faction.

"What does 'sister faction' mean?" Shen Yi interrupted.

"It's a faction spontaneously formed by the thirteen princesses' sisters," Lavinia thought for a moment, then said, "You can think of it as a youth faction within the Princess family."

Good heavens!

No wonder they're an abstract family that's produced hundreds of daughters; even their own sisters can form a faction.

Of course, if there were only her younger sisters, Princess Thirteen would certainly not have been able to become a dominant faction in the Princess family.

Because of her decisive and efficient style of doing things and her powerful dueling skills, Thirteen Princess had many supporters in the previous generations of the Princess family. They believed that the young Thirteen Princess could lead the Princess family in a new direction.

However, the most crucial point is that the God Card of the Hime family is now in the hands of the Thirteenth Princess.

"Wait, wait!" Shen Yi suddenly interrupted, "If Thirteen Princess is so amazing, why hasn't she graduated and gone pro yet?"

"If I enter the professional arena and become a top player as soon as possible, I'll have more say in the family, right?"

"With Xiao Shisan's abilities, most professional players are definitely no match for her. The reason she's still staying at the academy..."

Lavinia thought of Princess Thirteen and shook her head helplessly: "She wanted to protect her younger sister from the influence of the Princess family's God Card as much as possible."

"Of course, another reason is probably that she hasn't been able to win the Rookie Cup team competition, so she's a little unhappy."

Shen Yi could completely understand the latter.

Looking at Thirteen Princess's resume since her debut in the Rookie Cup, any normal person would be obsessed with the Rookie Cup team competition.

As long as you have one decent teammate, you can win the championship in just one season.

That's probably what Thirteen Princess was thinking.

The idea is similar to staying up all night after a losing streak.

What truly puzzled Shen Yi was the former.

What does it mean to protect your younger sister as much as possible?

Although he had some doubts about whether Thirteen Princess was really targeting Ninety Princess.

But this guy's behavior really makes it seem like he's intentionally persecuting Kujuhime.

Seeing Shen Yi's confusion, Lavinia patiently explained.

The God Card in Thirteen Princess's hand is called "Lord of the Broken Sword," and it belongs to a god from the world of swords.

This card is highly compatible with the Ji family's genes and will spontaneously influence the Ji family members around it if it is not sealed.

Because most of the sword-wielding characters in the Blade World are young girls, the Lord of the Broken Sword has a far greater influence on women than men. Therefore, the owners of this card throughout history have all been young girls from the Hime family.

The only exception is Ji Wufeng, who is the father of the Thirteenth Princess and the Ninth Princess.

He was not the original owner of the [Lord of the Wasted Sword], but forcibly took the card from his sister through a duel.

However, because he wasn't female, his compatibility with the card was never good, which led to him becoming somewhat obsessed. After retiring, he created hundreds of daughters in an attempt to find the perfect match for the card.

Those chosen by the Lord of the Broken Sword will gradually lose their sense of self.

You either become a complete slave to the Lord of the Broken Sword, or you become a self-denying madman.

Most of the girls who came before Thirteen Princess, her older sisters, went mad, except for a few who were spared because they were not chosen.

This caused Thirteen Princess great pain.

Because their father was a madman, the girls of the Ji family began to support each other from the moment they became conscious, and they all made a pact to become the best older sister in their younger sisters' eyes.

However, when Thirteen Princess entered the academy full of expectations, she found that the older sisters who used to steal candy for her had either gone mad or had become completely unrecognizable to her.

"Ah—I never expected it to be like this?" Shen Yi stroked his chin, recalling his meetings with Thirteen Princess. "I had no idea."

laugh--!

Lavinia opened a can of beer, gulped it down, and said with a faint smile, "Thirteen Princess isn't very good at expressing her emotions. She only shows obvious emotional fluctuations during duels—but they're a bit too obvious."

"So, Princess Kuju is actually being influenced by that so-called Lord of the Broken Sword?"

"He wants to break free from Xiao Shisan's control, and right now, besides Xiao Shisan, only Jiu Shi Ji is of the Ji family bloodline in the academy. He will definitely do his best to instill and influence her."

As she spoke, Lavinia added with some doubt, "Although I reinforced the seal on Him, I didn't expect it to be so effective. Little Thirteen's sister wasn't affected at all."

Lavinia didn't actually think she was that strong, at least not that she could completely seal away the gods.

After all, if I really had such abilities, I wouldn't need to come to the Starry World to seek help.

Her world has independent communication with other Soul Card worlds, and it was from there that she learned of the existence of the Starry World. Therefore, Lavinia is very clear that receiving help from the Starry World comes at a price.

For this reason, Lavinia has always wanted to find partners who are not influenced by her family or company.

Besides not wanting their world to be persecuted and controlled by Starry World, they also didn't want to see the heroes who could save their world being forced and controlled by their families and companies.

This is also why Lavinia values ​​Shen Yi so much.

Although Shen Yi calling her "Mom" right away was a bit abstract, she was indeed the first duelist she had encountered in recent years who had no family background whatsoever, and her strength and performance seemed quite formidable.

Most importantly, the doll named Vera beside the other party also seemed to possess an aura that made her very concerned.

Upon hearing Lavinia's words, Shen Yi and Vera exchanged a glance.

Vera raised her eyebrows and gave Shen Yi a look of self-satisfaction.

If it weren't for her, Princess Kuju might have already been influenced and controlled by that so-called Lord of the Broken Sword.

Shen Yi reacted immediately, giving Vera an approving look.

Vera chuckled contentedly and ran off to check on the sword-wielding girl.

Lavinia continued to introduce the situation of the Hime family.

"You mean—the internal strife within the Ji family was caused by the Thirteenth Princess?" Shen Yi was visibly taken aback upon hearing Lavinia's words.

What's the point of this?

Is it to climb the social ladder?

Shen Yi couldn't quite understand.

After all, actively instigating internal strife is clearly weakening one's own family's competitiveness.

"She did it on purpose. Only when her father's faction splits can she secure more freedom for her younger sisters. Otherwise, even if Ji-hime graduates smoothly, the Ji family will still send other sisters over later."

"Thirteen Princesses cannot stay at the Duel Academy forever."

"From what you're saying, Thirteen Princess couldn't bring that [Master of the Broken Sword] out of the Duel Academy?"

"After all, she only managed to suppress the sealed 'Lord of the Waste Sword' by relying on the combined power of duelists from the Duel Academy," Lavinia said.

The reason she told Shen Yi so much was not only because she valued him, but also because it was information that Thirteen Princess had allowed her to reveal to Shen Yi.

Thirteen Princess has already figured out the rest of the script.

There's no way she won't graduate.

Only by becoming a superstar and ousting her father from power can she truly protect her sisters.

Therefore, the "Lord of the Waste Sword" in the academy still needs someone to suppress and seal him.

The only candidate at present is undoubtedly the only younger sister, Kujuhime, who is currently in the academy.

However, Thirteen Princess was worried that Ninety Princess's abilities were insufficient to deal with the harassment from other members of the Ji family, so she also took Shen Yi into consideration.

Although Thirteen Princess didn't say it explicitly, Lavinia strongly suspected that she was worried that her inability to speak would cause Shen Yi to develop a rebellious mentality, so she decided to go her own way.

Three years.

Thirteen Princess is confident that she will become the Heavenly King before Ninety Princess graduates, and then overthrow Princess Wufeng.

This guy is as confident as ever.

Just then, the sword-wielding girl seemed to be waking up.

Lavinia laughed and said, "Let's go take a look. It would be best to call Little Thirteen's sister over as well."

"Why?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.

"To be able to survive having her weapon severed, this sword-wielding girl must be considered a rather powerful superhuman in the world of swords," Lavinia laughed. "If we successfully recruit her, then Princess Ninety's deck should get a significant boost."

Looking at Lavinia, an idea flashed through Shen Yi's mind:

Could this also be one of Thirteen Princess's goals?
