This is Elizabeth's private property, and its decoration and layout are the best in Arkham. It was specially prepared for Her Majesty the Queen's visit.

According to Elizabeth, preparations for the villa began three years ago and cost 500,000 Rosa dollars.

In her words, even if she only uses this villa once in her life, it would still be worthwhile.

Upon arriving at the villa, the guards quickly went inside to conduct a thorough inspection, and then took out a large amount of equipment from the vehicle to begin rearming the villa.

The relevant officials were arranged by Los to stay at Father Hearst's hotel, which was not far from here.

Stepping out of the car, Su Yi smiled and took Elizabeth's hand, saying, "It's been so long since we last saw each other. You'll have to have a good chat with me today."

"Yes, my Queen." Elizabeth was incredibly excited, as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

Then she turned to look at Los: "I am very concerned about what is happening in Innsmouth. Mayor Arkham, could you tell me more about it?"

“It’s my responsibility,” Los said with a smile.

Then, the group entered the villa. Under Elizabeth's familiar introduction, Sue, her lady-in-waiting Dani, Elizabeth, Ross and Lilith entered a well-lit reception room.

Then everyone took their seats, and Su Yi glanced at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth immediately understood what her best friend meant, and then turned to Los and said, "Mayor Arkham, you may begin."

Then, Los began to describe the whole thing in detail.

Everything was true, and in the end, all the blame was naturally placed on the military.

Of course, this does not include Los's transformation.

After listening, Sue said with an approving look, "I admire your decisiveness and courage, Mayor Arkham, but I am more curious about how you defeated that monster."

Los's heart skipped a beat when he heard this; he knew that the conversation had gotten to the point.

Chapter 0217 The Bet on Civilization

In response to the Queen's question, Los smiled and said, "I didn't kill that monster. I'm still a bit confused about how it died."

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth immediately said, "Hmph, you'd better not try to deny it. I saw the situation clearly at the time."

"What did you see clearly? That god who descended to earth was wearing armor and had his back to the city. Did you see my face through the god's head?" Los asked with a smile.

Elizabeth caught her breath upon hearing this, unsure how to respond.

Looking back now, Los never admitted that he was the one who existed that day; it was all the expectation of those citizens.

At this point, Lady Dani, standing to the side, frowned slightly and said, "Mayor Arkham, you'd better put aside your wishful thinking and sharp tongue in front of Her Majesty the Queen. If this continues..."

"What if things continue like this? Imprison me and take my place?" Los retorted directly.

Upon hearing this, Lady Dani immediately whispered a sharp rebuke: "Insolence! How dare you be so disrespectful in front of the Queen!"

Los didn't continue speaking, but turned to look at the ethereal fairy in front of him, who looked like a scene from a traditional Chinese ink painting.

At this moment, Su Yi slightly raised her hand and uttered that ethereal and melodious voice: "Dani, Elizabeth, you two go out for a moment. There are some truths that you cannot bear yet."

Hearing the Queen's words, the two men, though somewhat reluctant, did not hesitate, bowed, and turned to leave.

It's clear that their respect and trust in the Queen are comparable to the feelings Lilith, Sheena, and others have for Los.

The two people left quickly, leaving only the man and woman alone in the large living room.

“Your Majesty, aren’t you afraid that I, the mayor of a remote village, might do something improper? To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone like you, a fairy in a painting, who is almost otherworldly and detached from the world,” Los sighed.

At this moment, Su Yi slowly took off her hat, and then her eyes, which seemed to sparkle with countless stars, instantly released two sharp, blade-like gazes that pierced directly into Los's face.

“As expected, you are not from this world.” Su Yi said directly.

Hearing this, Los was not surprised. He looked at Su Yi and said, "So, you're not one either."

Su Yi's eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a wild smile that completely ruined her elegant demeanor. She said, "Perhaps we come from the same world."

When Los saw Su Yi's smile, his heart skipped a beat.

Through that smile, he could easily sense that beneath this fairy-like exterior, a mad soul was constantly stirring and struggling. (The smile is inspired by Yumeko Jabami from Kakegurui.)

“Perhaps they are just two similar worlds?” Los asked, still sporting his signature smile.

"Shall we make a bet?" Su Yi leaned forward slightly, her eyes gleaming with a peculiar light.

That's the look in the eyes of a crazy gambler.

Faced with this scene, Los felt for the first time that he was being suppressed.

This suppression has nothing to do with physical strength; it is entirely a suppression of the mind and will.

Los remained expressionless: "What are we betting on?"

"If I win, tell me everything you know, and give me access to all of Arkham's resources and technology." Sue's voice carried a maniacal chuckle, as if she were about to burst out laughing with excitement.

Los sat up slightly, trying to lift his back off the sofa.

But for some reason, he had no such ability when facing Su Yi at this moment. It was as if this woman was already riding on his back, pressing him firmly to the ground.

"Are you going all in?" Los said with a smile.

"What if I win?"

Su Yi said with increasing excitement, "I'll tell you everything I know. I don't have any real resources right now, and I can't give you anything of value."

"That's for sure."

Before Los could speak, Su Yi interrupted him, saying in a captivating tone, "So how about I use myself as a wager? If I lose, everything I have is yours, even this body is yours to play with as you please, and I can even have many children for you!"

Upon hearing this, Los instantly sensed that this woman was not quite right in the head, and asked with a strange expression, "Do you know what you're saying? You are the Queen!"

Su Yi seemed not to hear, staring at Los and asking, "Want to bet or not!?"

“You seem very confident.” Los didn’t immediately agree.

Su Yi did not answer that question, and continued to stare at Los with her obsidian-like eyes.

Feeling completely suppressed by this woman, Los slowly raised his hand under her gaze.

Then, Ross calmly removed his head from his neck and placed it on the coffee table.

This action immediately stunned Su Yi.

The next second, she felt that Los's thoughts, which had been perfectly normal just moments before, began to diverge wildly, like a toxic substance emerging from a gas chamber and rapidly spreading and polluting the surrounding air.

"Loss, you're amazing!" Seeing this, Su Yi was not surprised at all, but rather extremely excited, like an innocent child who had discovered a whole new world.

With his thoughts now free, Los easily sat up straight from the backrest, crossed his legs, and "looked" at Su Yi, saying, "I bet!"

"Hehehehehe!" Upon hearing this, Su Yi burst into a burst of wild laughter that rose from a low pitch to a high pitch, making her a female version of Iori Yagami.

Then, with a look of wild joy on her face, she asked, "You came from Earth!!"

Los remained expressionless, shaking the expressionless head twice to indicate his agreement.

"Haha! I won again!" Su Yi shouted.

At this moment, a voice came from Los: "There may be two planets called Earth. Tell me about your background and your identity."

Su Yi naturally wouldn't reveal everything, and then only said one sentence: "We once defeated the invading alien Ming using nuclear-powered flying swords."

Upon hearing this, Los stretched out his finger and pulled at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile.

"You lost."

Su Yi remained calm and asked directly, "How do you know?"

“On our planet Earth, we only have nuclear weapons; we don’t have nuclear-powered flying swords,” Los replied calmly.

Su Yi asked directly, "Describe the characteristics of your Earth."

"In the Internet age, 5G transmission technology." Los used two of the most representative terms of the times.

Upon hearing this, Su Yi's expression became quite interesting.

Los said with a hint of smugness, "I wonder what Her Majesty's gambling etiquette is like?"

But Su Yi slowly said, "You didn't really win either."

Why?

"Because according to our archaeological discoveries, the 5G era is 30,000 years earlier than our era."

"???"

Chapter 0218 The Generation Gap

The entire reception room fell silent.

Su Yi's expression was strange, and she remained silent.

Los pinched his brow with the index finger and thumb of his left hand, indicating that he was frowning, while his other hand supported his chin, indicating that he was also deep in thought.

Both of them thought they had the game in the bag and had figured out each other's strengths and weaknesses.

But when the truth was revealed, the two found that reality was very different from what they had imagined.

"I'd call it a draw. Strictly speaking, neither of us won, but neither of us lost either." Su Yi had calmed down by now, transforming into a serene, ink-wash fairy.

Los put his head back on his neck and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, reality is far more surreal than their imagination.

The two are only four years apart in age now, but on Earth, they have already crossed a span of 30,000 years.

Let's put the betting aside for now. Los said, "Anyway, we're from the same hometown."

Su Yi'en uttered a sound, then looked up and asked, "Although we are from the same origin, what exactly is going on with your current state?"

As she spoke, her eyes sharpened: "When I first saw you, I almost pulled out a weapon and chopped you down."

"why?"

Su Yi said, "I can tell you're not human at first glance!"

Upon hearing this, Los laughed and said, "Unfortunately, you don't know the Great Heavenly Dragon."

"But I will soar like a dragon in the sky!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yi suddenly flicked her sleeve, and a flash of light appeared. Los was shocked to find that the two halves of the longsword were floating above his head.

"A flying sword?" A glint flashed in Los's eyes.

Su Yi casually waved her hand, and the two flying swords returned to her sleeve: "Sort of, but they've been modified."
