Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Those two days of waiting actually made the Night Lord, who came in with great momentum, suffer even more."

An Ran laughed heartily.

She smiled even more broadly, especially when she thought of the Night Lord's triumphant declaration of challenge to the Silent City.

Fortunately, the laughter did not wake the tired Tsukiya.

But just as Anran was piloting the spaceship to take Tsykia, Jill, and Chen Tong to Silent City, she suddenly discovered that her demon ship was unable to move.

An Ran's expression suddenly changed.

She received a game notification that just now, someone had taken control of her spaceship!

Tsykia was still asleep, so it couldn't have been her.

"Could it be Virginia?"

"But unfortunately, it was me who did it."

As she said this, a phantom appeared in front of An Ran.

The phantom looked like Drive Knight at first glance.

Anran felt as if facing a formidable enemy.

Do you really want to make a move in front of Silent City?

Moreover, she doesn't recall ever provoking such an enemy.

“Don’t worry,” the unidentified creature said, “I mean you no harm. I just came to take a look.”

His gaze first fell on Ella, then froze.

what?

me?

Ella stared at the unidentified creature opposite her with a puzzled look.

“No wonder.” The unidentified creature laughed loudly. “I was wondering why I had that feeling. It turns out it was the one that was given to Virginia back then.”

"Ok?"

Ella, the one she gave to Virginia?

Isn't that the Mech Spirit race?

An Ran blurted out, "You are the ruler of the Mechanical Spirit Clan!"

The Mech Spirits are also from the Exiled Empire, and they have a very good relationship with Virginia.

The ruler of the Mechanical Spirit Clan looked surprised: "You're really something, you guessed it right away."

Then, he glanced at Tsukiya, who was asleep.

"emmm..."

He asked An Ran, "Is this child a member of Virginia's tribe?"

It seems he was unaware of the relationship between Virginia and Tsykia.

An Ran nodded: "That's right."

"She looks just like Virginia when she was young," the leader of the Mech Spirit race remarked.

His projection gradually blurred, leaving behind his last words inside the spaceship.

"You can bring her to visit me sometime."

gone.

Anran discovered that control of the demon ship had also returned to her.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The spaceship continued its journey, and when it reached the ring of fire near Silent City, the ring of fire automatically parted to create an opening for passage.

Following the game map, Anran easily arrived at the airport of Silent City.

At this time, because of the previous great battle, Virginia was the only person in the vast Silent City.

The others, such as Latina, were sent away by Virginia before the battle officially began.

Anran arrived in front of Virginia with her family.

Surprisingly, Virginia's condition after the victory was much worse than she had imagined.

From a distance, Virginia's victory was so decisive that Anran thought she hadn't expended much energy at all.

She was clearly wrong.

That's true. Even Tsykia, who didn't participate in the battle, was exhausted and collapsed. How much better off could Virginia be?

"This victory was very lucky."

Virginia walked up to Tsychia, who was lying in the crib.

When talking to her, An Ran could clearly sense that Virginia and Tsykya had completely different personalities.

If I had to put it simply, it was that Ciqiya gave Anran a very warm feeling.

Virginia, on the other hand, has a kind of aloof and distant air about her.

Although they are connected at heart, they are not the same person.

Virginia took Tsykia out of the crib.

It looks like he's holding his daughter.

An Ran thought to herself.

Then, Virginia threw Tsykia into the fireplace behind her throne.

"..."

An Ran's forehead was sweating.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Virginia was roasting a little girl.

Virginia returned to her seat and continued, "If the fight continues, even if I manage to kill Bartholomew, I will be severely injured."

An Ran didn't say anything.

"Knowing Sawyer as I do, he would definitely step in to stop the fight if he were in that situation. I bet right. In the end, it's just a duel to determine who is better, not who lives or dies. But even if I hadn't bet right, the worst that could have been a lose-lose situation."

Virginia laughed.

That's a lot of scheming.

An Ran raised an eyebrow.

We must not underestimate these people.

After that, Anran discussed matters related to Jill and Chen Tong with Virginia.

Virginia assured her that she would treat Jill as her disciple, and as for Chen Tong, even Virginia was helpless regarding her injuries.

"Unless we can get Bartholomew to help."

Forget it.

An Ran immediately dismissed the idea.

Given the current situation, if Chen Tong dares to appear before the Lord of the Night, he guarantees he will kill her with a single blow.

"You'd better pray for the best."

An Ran said to Chen Tong.

Chen Tong remained calm, as if the discussion hadn't been about her life or death.

"It's not bad to just quietly wait for death to come, anyway, I don't have any expectations for my life," Chen Tong said calmly.

"Hey, you wicked woman, you..."

Jill opened her mouth, but didn't continue speaking.

Even Virginia, the ruler of the star field, couldn't do it, so what can she, a master, do?

“If you were to reach An Ran’s level of strength, with the elemental properties within you, you might still be able to save her,” Virginia said to Jill.

So in the end, nothing could be accomplished.

Jill gave a self-deprecating laugh, tinged with bitterness.

That's it. In these last few months, how could she possibly reach An Ran's level?

……

Are you leaving now?

Latina rushed back to Silent City, and before she could even rest, she heard that Anran was leaving.

An Ran nodded: "Time is very tight. I still need to take them both back to my hometown to visit."

Latina then stopped insisting.

She actually just wanted to ask Anran if there were any other ways to make money, but that could wait until later; there was no rush.

After spending half a day in silence, he set off on his journey to the exiled empire with peace of mind.

At this time, news of the Night Lord's defeat had already begun to spread.

An Ran turned around and suddenly her eyes widened.

What are you doing here again?

The person standing in front of her was clearly Tsukiya, dressed in a fiery red "spacesuit".

Chapter 44 The Scum Knight, No, the Mech Knight

Less than a day later, Tsukiya, who had looked like she was about to meet the King of Hell, was suddenly lively and energetic again.

Even for a Star Domain Ruler, this recovery speed is simply outrageous.
