Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

"I don't care whether he's a guest or not! You bastards have no right to touch Dobby!"

Then, the fat boy started punching and kicking the servant. Seeing this, Helena immediately raised her folding fan to cover her face, turned around with disgust, and quickly left the Duke's manor.

"This place really makes me feel like my eyes have been insulted... It's a good thing that old man Remington asked me to stay as a guest more often. I don't want to patronize this crappy place again!"

However, Helena walked a few more steps to the front of the carriage, and suddenly stopped. After thinking for a while with her lips pursed, she snorted and asked the captain of the guard beside her with her hands on her waist: "Captain of the Guard, did I lose the bottle of wine I drank on the road?"

"Um... no, they are all in the utility vehicle convoy..."

"Give me two."

"Oh... OK." After a round trip, the captain of the guards brought two empty bottles of vodka. "Miss, what do you want the bottles for? If you want to drink, I'll open a new bottle for you..."

"New? Haha~ waste."

Helena snorted and said, taking the bottles in each hand and walking quickly back to the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, where the fat boy was still beating and scolding the servants.

However, after noticing Helena, he immediately stopped and his eyes lit up. He shook his body and put on a serious and decent posture, wanting to reach out to say hello to Helena.

But Helena didn't even look at the fat man, and went straight to the big dog in the doghouse. When the big dog saw the person coming, it bared its teeth again...

"Crack!!!"

Helena smashed a wine bottle directly at the big dog's grinning face, and then kicked the big dog's chin, directly kicking off several of its fangs.

Helena cursed, "How dare you bark at me, you dog!"

The fat boy at the side was stunned, and then he rushed forward in anger and questioned Helena: "How dare you hit my Dobby! Do you know that you are..."

Without waiting for the fat boy to finish, Helena threw another bottle at the fat boy's forehead, knocking him to the ground. She also kicked him and cursed, "You are the same, you bastard!"

After saying that, Helena threw away the two broken wine bottles, picked up her skirt and quickly ran out of the courtyard and climbed onto the convoy, urging: "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go to Blackwater City now!"

Chapter 29 I Love Doing Crazy Things

"Ah~ so comfortable~hiss...ah, I haven't had such a deep sleep in a long time~"

Green stretched and got up from the bed. Generally speaking, people would feel groggy when they just woke up from a normal sleep, especially for Green, an old man who was no longer young, as his sleep quality was not good.

However, when I woke up today, I didn't feel tired at all. I just felt relaxed and clear-headed. Blackwater City is such a great place, especially the bathhouse recommended by my niece last night.

Hiss, I have lived my whole life, and only once did I discover that taking a bath can be so useful and so enjoyable.

And there’s that sauna room. Hi~ Old people like me just like heat and hate cold. The person who can come up with something like a sauna must be a genius!

After this experience, Green felt that he could go back to the Duke's Mansion and continue chatting with old man Remington for the whole day!

After a refreshing wash, Green walked down the hotel stairs with his cane. In the lobby, Helena was already sitting at the dining table, finishing her breakfast and reading the newspaper with relish.

Noticing Green coming down, he smiled and said, "Hey, uncle, you unexpectedly slept in today. Usually you get out of bed at five or six o'clock, but today... you slept until after eight o'clock."

Green stroked his goatee and laughed, then sat next to Helena and sighed, "Isn't this all thanks to you, my little niece? Hahaha, I want to try that bathhouse tonight~"

Helena smiled complacently and said to Green, "Don't worry, uncle, there are more fun things to do in Blackwater City than just a bathhouse.

It was too late yesterday and you couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. Today, uncle, you can completely put aside your official duties and just treat it as a vacation. I will take you to the chess and card hall to play.

Uncle, don’t you like arithmetic very much? There is a game that is very suitable for you in the chess and card hall in Blackwater City~"

"Games?" Green stroked his goatee. He had played some board games before, such as Blackjack, Dominic Toretto, Spider Solitaire and so on.

These board games can indeed affect the victory due to the player's operation and calculation, but in Green's opinion, it is just like that. It still depends on luck. After all, it is just a game.

Haha, it’s just a game, just for fun, how magical can it be?

……

"Sanjo!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Five barrels!"

"bump!"

……

In the chess and card hall, Helena smiled and asked Green, who was already addicted to mahjong, "Haha~ Uncle, who said at the beginning that the game was just for fun?"

"Oh, my little niece, stop it, I'm almost done with this one... Two barrels!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Helena left behind Green, waving her folding fan and smiling. After Helena's teaching, the old man quickly got the hang of mahjong and played it very well. He no longer needed Helena's help to watch over him.

However, in fact, Helena's favorite game is not mahjong. After all, mahjong requires card counting. However, Helena is not very good at counting cards. She likes aggressive all-in, so she always loses easily in this kind of chess and card game that tests her operation.

Compared with Mahjong, she prefers another simpler game, Doupai. It is not only fun, but also beautiful, and the confrontation is full, which can perfectly satisfy her pursuit of violent output.

I heard that this kind of game first became popular in the capital of Duolun, and later after Ains came to Blackwater City, it was also promoted there.

The rules of the game are not difficult. Two players rent a pre-set of cards from a chess and card store, and then start the game. They decide who will go first and who will go first. Then each player draws five cards in the first round, and then gets one card in each round thereafter.

Card types are divided into summon cards and magic cards. Summon cards are characters that can be summoned to the field, while magic cards are one-time effect cards that can be activated after use.

Then everyone can gain magic power in each round, and the magic power will increase as the rounds increase. The minimum in the initial round is five points, and the maximum limit is ten points. Magic power is the resource used for cards in each round. The higher the level of the card, the more magic power it consumes, and the more powerful the effect it has.

All players have to do is use limited resources and randomly drawn cards to clear out the characters on the opponent's field, and then attack the opponent's player's health bar. When one side's health bar is emptied, the other side wins.

It can be said that Helena loves this game very much. On the one hand, the confrontational nature of the game allows her to experience the thrill of commanding the sky. On the other hand... it is because the illustrations of these cards are so beautiful!

It is so much better looking than those monotonous icons of mahjong and poker cards! Appearance is justice!

Seeing some residents in the corner playing gambling with Doupai, Helena suddenly felt itchy. She walked to the front row of the chess and card shop and asked, "Boss, I want to rent a pre-set Doupai."

"Ten bucks an hour. Please register your rental time here first. Then, may I ask Miss what type of pre-set you would like?"

"Berserker!"

"..." The shop owner looked at Helena, who had a quiet appearance, elegant clothes, and was waving a small folding fan. He was a little surprised that such a young lady would actually like a deck like the Berserker.

However, since it was a customer's request, the owner didn't say much. After Helena registered her name and time, the owner handed the card pack to Helena and said, "I wish you a pleasant card duel. In addition, please take good care of the cards and do not damage them privately, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

"Okay, okay, got it. By the way, are there any players in the store who are temporarily alone?"

"Um, let me see over there..."

Just as the shop owner was about to point out a few players, a woman in a pointed round hat came up to the front desk and said, "I'll play against this lady. Rent me a wizard pre-set."

"Hmm? Ah... OK, Ms. Trinity, please register here..."

Helena was slightly startled, turned her head to look at the sudden woman, then hummed softly and said, "Ah~ It's you, Trinity, what a coincidence, I can meet you here~"

Trinity pinched the brim of her hat out of habit and responded to Helena, "Ms. Helena, long time no see. I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance when I was out having fun."

"So you want to play against me this time?"

"Uh-huh~ Miss Helena, you don't mind, do you?"

"Ha~ Of course I don't mind, I just hope you don't lose too many times and get angry~"

"Oh my, no way. I just ask Miss Helena not to regret it."

The shop owner, who took out a pre-set of cards from under the bar, looked at the two beauties speaking in a friendly tone with explosive words. He felt the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which made him sweat profusely.

The two women came to the deck with their respective decks and started the game. Helena's Berserker deck was radical and violent in style, and it focused on cutting the Gordian knot and destroying the enemy's line in the simplest and most brutal way.

Trinity's wizard deck focuses on synergy effects, using a variety of card combos to produce incredible chemical reactions, causing unexpected destructive power.

The two chatted while playing cards. Trinity asked first, "Are you coming here at this time to save Irons?"

"Hehe, what do you think~"

"I can only say that you are a little late. He is no longer in Blackwater City."

Helena raised her eyes, sneered and responded, "Oh, of course I know that Ains is not in Blackwater City. He was captured by the demons. The news has spread everywhere."

Trinity nodded, but reminded, "That was just Remington's explanation. Although it's not wrong, he didn't mention the key point. The demon who took Irons away was the Demon King Margaret."

"What!?" Helena was shocked when she heard the news. She quickly asked, "Are you sure!?"

"I am sure."

"... Tsk, this is going to be a big problem..." Helena clenched the cards in her hand and muttered. After all, her biggest reliance was to ask the Half-Saint Lemonbart to rescue Ains from the Demon Realm.

But if the person who took Ains away was the Demon King, then it would be useless to let the Semi-Saint take action. After all, Margaret's strength is undoubtedly the ninth level, and she is one of the strongest people in the current continent.

However, Lemonbart is currently at the peak of the eighth level and only has a chance to reach the ninth level.

If the one who took Ains away was a demon lord, Helena would have dared to go all in and take a gamble, but the one who took him away was the demon king... This was basically like turning over the deck, and Helena had no way to play.

Thinking of this, Helena felt depressed and had no intention of playing cards anymore. She spread out the cards in her hand, leaned on the card table and asked Trinity, "Devil... Heh, you told me this, don't just want to spoil my fun, right?"

"Of course not... To be precise, the only reliable ally I can find in Blackwater City right now is probably you, Helena."

"Ally... Trinity, are you planning to break into the Demon King's Castle?"

"What else? Do you want me to let Ains die without saving him? Helena, I need your help. If you can ask Lemon Bart to help, then the conditions for me to take Ains away from the Demon King's Castle will be more mature."

"...Trinity, I want to say that your idea is simply crazy..."

"Oh? What, you're not going to help?"

"..." Helena chuckled after hearing this, picked up a card from the scattered cards, raised it and said, "Haha~ It just so happens that what I love most is to do some crazy things~"

The card Helena picked out was the Berserker deck's core burst card, "All in".

"hold head high!!!!!"

Just when the two women reached an agreement, an eagle's cry piercing the sky suddenly came from the sky.

The two girls were startled, and then they immediately stood up and walked out of the chess and card hall. Looking at the huge shadows flying across the sky, they couldn't help but screamed, "Griffins!? Why are there so many?! Are the beasts invading?"

Helena was well-informed and noticed at a glance the styles of armor worn by the griffins. At the same time, she noticed the white figure standing on the leading griffin.

"It's not a ferocious beast, it's the Griffin Knights of the Doron Capital! The white-haired leader... is Queen Katarina!"

Chapter 30 The Queen has arrived!

As if announcing their arrival, a group of griffins flying over Blackwater City screamed loudly as they passed by.

The high-pitched roar caused quite a stir in Blackwater City, causing the people of Blackwater City to go out and stop to observe the giant figure flying in the sky.

At the same time, it also brought them a hint of doubt. Who came to Blackwater Ridge in such a high-profile manner?

"...Where did those griffins come from? It looks like there are people on them."

"Idiot, didn't you see the pattern of the leather armor on those griffins? They are the Griffin Knights of the Royal Capital!"

"Who are you calling an idiot? I've never been to the capital, so how would I know anything about the Griffin Knights?"

"The Griffin Knights of the capital? Are there any princes or nobles who want to rebel? They usually do this. If there is a rebellion in a remote place, they will send out the Griffin Knights."

"Rebellion? Haha, if possible, I hope it's that old guy Remington who's having trouble getting over it~"

The residents of Blackwater City had different opinions on the reason for the arrival of the Griffin Knights, and the nobles living in the territories outside Blackwater City naturally heard the eagle's cry that broke through the sky.

In a mansion outside Blackwater City, a team of brave men walked out of the courtyard and looked at the griffins circling in the sky, all showing curious expressions.

"What's going on? How come the Griffin Knights show up again? Did something happen?" Shana muttered with her hands on her hips, looking confused.

Fox, who was standing by, stroked his chin and guessed, "Could it be because we captured the Governor of Blackwater City?"

Hearing this, Shana couldn't help but roll her eyes at Fox and said, "Can you, a gorilla, stop thinking about outrageous things? Would the capture of the governor of a small border town alert the royal guards?

If Governor Irons really had such a great influence and ability, we would have no chance of catching him from the beginning, okay..."

"I'm just making a guess..." Fox curled his lips and scratched his head.

Catherine looked at the direction where the griffins were circling, frowned, and said, "That direction... seems to be the direction of the Duke of Remington's palace?"

"Ah? What did Remington do to offend the people in the capital?"

"I'm not sure. I think it's better to go and take a look... Victor, Mr. Bonakov, and Annabelle, you stay in the house and take care of Favna. I'll take Shana and Fox to check on the situation..."

"Well, please take me with you!"

Just as Catherine gave her instructions, Mary beside her suddenly asked.

Catherine was slightly stunned, looking at Mary's anxious expression. Although she didn't know why she made this request, it didn't seem to have any impact if she just took Mary over to check out the situation.

"Um...Okay, Miss Mary, just remember to follow us."

"Thank you, brave man!"
