So I'm a sheep.

Could it be that she, like Maureen, has taken a liking to An Kang?

Seriously? An ugly fish from Ankang has such great charm?

Not to mention Sasha, even Camilla was taken aback.

Such a large gemstone, even if Pepin was never short of money, was not something he could just give away casually.

Maureen could understand, after all, she was a newly minted giant hunter, and her strength was undeniable.

Kosaliye...

He looked at the girl with suspicion, but suddenly his eyes met those of the anglerfish above her head.

Camilla felt inexplicably uncomfortable; perhaps it was because the fish was just too ugly?

"My lord, please introduce me to the next warrior."

Pepin's urging brought Camilla back to her senses, and she smiled and began her introduction again.

.....................................

Camilla was busy until evening before she finally had a chance to rest.

"call--"

Exhausted, she closed her eyes and asked her personal maid to give her a massage.

But the words were about to come out, and he immediately swallowed them back down.

There were no more personal maids. The loyal one had said strange things when her memory was confused, and she was convinced that someone had impersonated her.

Left with no other choice, they had to resort to murder.

Camilla felt a pang of bitterness as that familiar face appeared before her eyes again.

'It's a pity I haven't learned the forgetting spell yet, and you're too stubborn, otherwise...'

The sadness led to another sadness, and Camilla thought sadly: If her brother were still alive, she wouldn't be all alone without anyone to talk to.

"..."

Wait, when did I have a younger brother?

This is not my memory!

Camilla's face darkened. She hadn't had an episode in a long time; it seemed her emotions were fluctuating quite a bit today.

I tried to relax, but those jumbled memories kept churning in my mind.

Gradually, even the giant souls stored within his own body began to rebel.

what happened? !

Despite the confusion of memories, why did the giant's soul exhibit unusual activity?

The two should be completely unrelated!

Camilla panicked and began to chant rapidly.

There are seventy-seven giant souls stored in my body that haven't been digested yet. If it gets completely out of control...

The Marquis dared not imagine such consequences. She tried her best to calm herself and salvage the situation, but she was always disturbed by those extraneous memories.

Large beads of sweat appeared on Camilla's forehead. Finally, Camilla heard the roar of multiple giants!

Uh

My mouth was filled with the taste of blood, and my vision was completely red.

Oh no!

The white-robed wizard acted decisively, instantly releasing all the giant souls within him.

....................................

"Hmph, ha, ahahahahahahaha!!!"

An Kang suddenly let out a grotesque laugh, which startled Sasha.

What's wrong with you?

"We got it back, although there was some loss, but we got the bulk of it back!"

"Seventy-seven giant souls! Now there's hope of breaking the Queen's curse!" An Kang was so happy he almost jumped out of the fish tank.

Seven giant souls...

When did they make their move?

"Camilla, she's dead?"

"That woman was decisive; she was only seriously injured, not dead yet."

An Kang said leisurely, "Spare her life for now. In a few years, once Camilla has nearly finished crafting the war puppets, I'll just..."

"Hmm? That short, powerful minister is here to see you. Perfect opportunity to confront him!"

Sasha waited a while, and sure enough, Pepin's voice came from outside.

"Warrior Saliye, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, Your Excellency, please come in."

Pepin entered the room with two guards and said bluntly, "Excuse me, I have come to ask you for the technique of balancing a fish tank on your head."

Volume 1: Chapter 672 No Longer an Ordinary Person

ha?

Sasha doubted that she had misheard, but Pepin repeated it very seriously.

"I've come specifically to learn your techniques for balancing a fish tank."

No, why would a high-ranking official like you learn such acrobatic skills?

In fact, if it weren't for the benefits of permanent blessing, she would never be so foolish as to run around with Ankang around.

"Lord Pepin, why are you learning this kind of skill?" Sasha couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty has been quite troubled lately, and seeing this has made me lose my appetite and sleep."

"Seeing you today gave me a sudden inspiration. This look, wow, it's absolutely amazing!"

Pepin said excitedly, "When I go back to report to His Majesty, I will definitely mention the warriors. What is there to say about the others? Even Lady Maureen is just a sharpshooter who shot down a powerful giant."

"But you, Saliye, are different. You are a maverick, a very interesting warrior! When I recreate your fishbowl-on-your-head look, won't His Majesty be overjoyed?"

"..."

Holy crap, are you a prime minister or a clown?

The problem is, by doing this, won't my noble image be ruined?

Seeing Sasha's troubled expression, Pepin became very unhappy.

"Warrior Saliye, do you think I gave you such a large gem for nothing?"

"You took my tuition, so don't think you can just turn your back on me now!"

Wasn't that gemstone a gift for our first meeting?!

"Your Excellency, it's just a little trick. I'm not that petty."

"The problem is, you're ruining my image!" Sasha said angrily.

Pepin pointed at the girl and shook his head repeatedly: "I say, where did you come from, some important person? And what about your image?"

"You should feel honored that a high-ranking official like yourself is imitating your style! Stop rambling and get started."

......................................

"Then when you perform in front of His Majesty in the future, please don't mention my name."

"Haha, you're pushing away an opportunity that others would kill for."

Pepin shook his head and said, "If you have an opportunity, you should climb up; if you don't have an opportunity, you should create one."

"Let me tell you the truth..."

The Prime Minister inexplicably began recounting his own struggles, which greatly annoyed Sasha. Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she glanced at the fish tank on the table.

The anglerfish stared intently at Pepin, its eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

"..."

Well, so this Pepin the Elder has fallen for it. No wonder he's been nagging on and on in front of me.

'friend'

After a while, An Kang's voice appeared in Sasha's mind.

'There's no need to waste effort using curses to control him; Pepin, eager to increase his standing in the king's eyes, will seize any opportunity.'

"Just tell him you can chop down that tree with your divine weapon, and he'll try no matter what."

Sasha nodded slightly, and Pepin, who had been rambling on, suddenly stopped talking.

The Prime Minister scratched his head, feeling quite puzzled.

What's wrong with me? Why am I suddenly reminiscing about the past in front of a stranger?

“Lord Pepin, look at this fish tank.”

The girl laughed and lifted the fish tank on the table: "See this dent below?"

Attracted by Sasha's words, Pepin stroked his beard and said, "With this indentation, it's indeed less likely to fall off the fish tank, but it should be more than that."

"The key lies in the word 'steady'."

"You can move your body, but you must keep your head steady."

Sasha suggested, "When you first start practicing, you can ask the guards to help support your head."

"Pay close attention to that feeling and gradually change your usual walking habits."
