Is the night devil queen me?

"Well, you have never disappointed me in this regard, so there is no need to say more." The king stood up, came to Andis, patted his shoulder, and said, "Let's do it, my child, the whole Both the Empire and I will be your strong backing."

"My son knows."

"Well, there is one last thing." The king turned to look at Seth.

Seth raised his chin slightly and saluted, "It's about whether Leah is a Light Element Awakener, and His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness still need to decide."

"Teacher, with your wisdom, can't you measure it accurately?" Andis asked.

Seth shook his head and sighed slightly, "I'm ashamed to say, Your Royal Highness, I think I'm knowledgeable, but the power appointed by the gods is not something that mere mortals can easily understand. Unless Leah awakens on her own, she can't To find out the truth and make an accurate conclusion, only the spokesperson of God can..."

Speaking of this, Seth's face became even more bitter.

"The Church of the Holy Light?" The king answered, pinching his chin and thinking for a while, "There is no barrier between us and the Church of the Holy Light. Rather, we are more inclined to make friends with it, but we are only a country after all. The relationship with the Church of the Holy Light has only remained tepid, and it is risky to invite people from the Church of the Holy Light, especially in the current state of the plan."

"Can't you bribe a cardinal?" Andis suggested.

"After all, this is not a trivial matter. Let's not talk about how much it costs to bribe a cardinal. It's still a matter of whether the other party dares. The style of the Holy Maiden of Light is obvious to all on the continent, and who can guarantee that her words are strict, even if it is designed after the fact. Framed, so that he will never be able to speak, the nature of moving a cardinal is very serious, once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous." Seth said in a heavy tone: "Don't say that our empire has not yet had a holy rank powerhouse, Even with it, the Church of the Holy Light, a behemoth, can still sweep us away."

"Perhaps Luoya's teacher can see it, but letting her get in touch with Liya also comes with great risks." The king said, "The plan is at a critical time, and I really don't want her to show up."

"Is the return completely proportional to the risk?" Andis whispered as if talking to himself.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, even if there is only one ten-thousandth possibility, we all know in our hearts what the light element awakener represents to an empire. The possibility of being a holy rank powerhouse has also been greatly increased." Seth continued.

The king, Andis, and Seth all understand that a newborn holy rank powerhouse can make the empire break away from the status of a vassal state. There is still a certain amount of uncertainty about whether the holy rank powerhouse can continue to grow and become the existence that can shake the continent. Then add another holy rank powerhouse who is also a light element awakener or just a simple affinity person. They are two saint-level powerhouses, basically firmly seated in the position of the mainland power.

Just like the sisters of the Fiat Empire, Hualan Ling and Tina, they were the key to helping the Fiat Empire stand out in the era of war and chaos between countless empires.

Deterrence needs the support of strength and military exploits. Now even if only Lan Ling or Tina is left in the Fiat Empire, any one of the holy rank powerhouses, its status as a mainland power is still difficult to shake. It is very large, and the leap between the holy rank and the divine rank is even more unimaginable, so the holy rank is also divided into strengths and weaknesses. People who touch the peak of the holy rank are not comparable to those in the early stage of the holy rank. , the distance between the two can be so long that it is impossible to spy.

As for the protector of the Saint Trans Empire, Lu Yue, now it seems that he can be compared with Lan Ling and Tina, which puts a lot of pressure on the Larsen Empire, so the lowest risk and the least loss is to add another holy rank strong.

Chapter 190 Seven Secrets

The voice stopped, and the three of them fell into deep thought. For a while, in the magic barrier, only the whispering sound of Seth's magic wand outputting magic power echoed.

"Let's observe for now." Finally, the king's voice broke the silence, and he let out a long breath, "The matter of Liya is important, but we still have to distinguish between the priority and the time. Control things as well."

Andis and Seth were both moved when they heard the sound, and raised their heads slightly to look at the king, expressing their approval.

"That's true. The development of the empire cannot be rushed." Andis said, "After we gain a firm foothold, it's not too late to think about everything in the long run."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty the King and Your Highness the Prince. During this period of time, the old minister will do his best to find a solution. Of course, everything will be done on the basis that it will not add risks to the current plan." Seth also made a promise .

"With the teacher's words, it is a reassurance."

"Looking forward to your surprise, Seth."

For Seth, the king and Andis both trust him very much. Although Seth's strength is not up to the top level of the mainland and has been hovering at the ninth level, the reason why the king will take a fancy to Seth and reuse him is because of his profound knowledge Reserve, he is like a humanoid library, the richness of knowledge can even be compared with Chris of the Fiat Empire.

"Yes, the old minister will fulfill his mission." Seth bowed his head and saluted.

"Okay, that's right, Andis." The king looked at Andis and said, "Tomorrow is Yalei's birthday. Although she doesn't want to make a big deal, you have to make arrangements for her in your own name, without fanfare, but Be careful, the most important thing is to let her understand your intentions, this is meaningful, she just arrived, the first impression of the empire is very important, people can use money to keep them, but their hearts have to be kept with feelings, I have I have a hunch that she will be a great help to the empire in the future, and her daughter Leah is still young, as long as her mother is made to serve the empire wholeheartedly, both mother and daughter will be members of our Larsen Empire."

"My son also has this intention." Andis indeed arranged it like this.

"Okay, you all go back to rest." The king rubbed his temples, his expression looked a little tired, but his whole body relaxed a lot, "It's been hard work during this period, and you need to take good care of it. Your body is your capital. Although the plan It’s a critical period, but it’s still on the right track, and you can relax for a while without pushing yourself too hard.”

"Thank you, father, for your concern."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Andis and Seth nodded, and after a few more conversations, they removed the magic barrier and bowed to leave.

In the empty palace hall, only the king was left, sitting on a high throne with a gloomy expression.

"Hmm..." The king suddenly turned his face away, covered his chest with his hands, took a few breaths, sweat dripped from his forehead, and with a wave of his hand, the palace hall was immediately closed.

The light was blocked, and in the slightly dim palace hall, there was a faint pink light seeping from the crowned forehead of the king.

"Your Majesty..." From behind, an old man hurriedly bent over, took off the crown for the king, and helped him massage his back, "You have used too much strength, go back to your room and rest."

"Ha..." The king's expression improved slightly, and he nodded wearily. He was supported by the old man and turned back to his room. There was a pattern like a love heart shining pink under his hair.

Back in the room, the king was lying on the bed, still sweating profusely and panting heavily.

"Your Majesty, the medicine is ready." The old man held a cup, knelt down in front of the king and raised it above his head. The golden cup was printed with patterns and had a lid on it, so it was impossible to tell what was inside.

"How long has it been?" The king stood up, his white hair drooping, showing the vicissitudes of life.

"It's been 21 years since I returned to Your Majesty." The old man said respectfully.

"21 years... 21 years? Have I, the majestic king of a country, endured this inhuman humiliation for 21 years?" The king clenched his fists, his tone trembling.

Seeing this, the old man did not make a sound.

"Huh...how is the arrangement for visiting the demon territory?" the king asked after calming down.

"Yes, Your Majesty, because it was an unofficial visit, it took a little time to contact the demon territory. Now that the relationship has been opened up, as long as the time is finalized, we can set off on another day." The old man raised his head and said, "Now His Royal Highness has Returning to the country, I haven't seen you for a while, His Highness is more like a king, the old minister thinks that there should be no problem in entrusting the domestic affairs to His Highness the Prince."

"Yeah, that boy Andis did not disappoint me. It's good to take this opportunity to hand over some affairs to him slowly, and treat it as exercise." Speaking of Andis, the king's complexion improved a little, and said: " Power and beauty are intoxicating, and those in power need to know its weight and bear its weight. In this regard, he no longer needs to worry about me. It is this beauty. I don’t know how much better his brothers are, which is why I like him, but now it adds a little bit of worry to me.”

"Your Majesty, is it because of the new mother and daughter?" said the old man.

"Yes, my daughter is still young and hasn't bloomed yet, but that's it. The future is hard to predict, and her mother's beauty, even if a king falls into her hands, it is not surprising that the country's affairs will be ruined." The king suddenly fell silent when he said this. up.

He closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed long, "No...it's all because of my personal subjective reasons, and I overcomplicated things, but that child has never let me down. Father, it shouldn't be like this."

"Your Majesty, please trust Your Highness more."

"Yeah yeah... I understand, I just don't want him to follow in my footsteps... But the method seems a bit too harsh..." The king rubbed his forehead, "21 years of curse, 21 years of punishment, this price , is too heavy, I hope that child will not blame me."

"Your Majesty, there is hope now, so you don't have to worry too much. Once the curse is lifted and His Highness ascends to the throne in the future, you will be able to enjoy the blessings." The old man said, suddenly with a sad face: "That's... There is a sentence, the old minister does not know whether to say it or not..."

"It's okay, you've served me for decades, it's okay if you have something to say." The king picked up the cup, opened the lid, frowned, with an indescribable disgust on his expression, but he still swallowed it in one gulp, The texture gradually disappears.

The old man hurriedly brought clear water to rinse the king's mouth, and then massaged his shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to go in person? It doesn't matter that our country accepts the demons, but before investing in the slave trade of the demons... now Even if it is stopped and all connections are cleaned up, there are still risks..."

Chapter 190: Unbearable

"Do you know, Danny, since we want to befriend the Church of the Holy Light, why should we take the risk of investing in the demon slave trade?" The king's face improved a lot, and he said softly while lying down.

The old man named Danny paused while stroking the king's back, as if he was thinking, and then continued the movement in his hands, and replied, "Because there are huge interests in it, and our empire is a commercial foundation, and there is no business." It can’t be done, as long as you don’t directly participate in it, you won’t show any flaws.”

"Yes, but you're only half right. I actually want to find what I want inside." The king opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"Oh...so that's the case, His Majesty thought it over carefully." Danny bowed his head in compliment. In fact, he already knew the reason, but he didn't say it clearly. The proper stupidity of his subordinates can make the master feel at ease.

It is not unreasonable for Danny to serve the king for decades, know secrets that even his own son does not know, and live in peace at the same time.

"But what does it have to do with His Majesty going there in person?" Danny asked, "Forgive me for my ignorance, I don't think His Majesty should take this risk, you can just send an envoy, even if it's not an official visit, I think it's okay You can test the attitude of the other party first.”

"Now my only hope is in the hands of that Lamia Black Temple. The benefits I have obtained are used to achieve my own goals. Now that the hope appears, this benefit can be discarded. This is the reason why I ended it immediately. You can take this opportunity to sell Lamia Heidian a favor." The king clenched his fists and raised his voice.

"Even if the matter of investing in demon slaves is exposed, there are various reasons. For example, we are only responsible for investing, but we were deceived. We didn't know that the money was used for this purpose. We are also victims." King He continued, "Even if they think the reason is far-fetched, they can't find anything if they go to investigate. In addition, I went there in person to show my sincerity and prove that I have no ghosts in my heart. Otherwise, how dare a king go there in person? We sincerely make friends. A demon territory that has just established itself on the mainland, how could it miss this opportunity? The great empires admitted their existence on the surface, but no one knows what they are thinking in secret. I guess they don't have any allies. "

"At this time, we appeared, we can support the development of the Lamia Black Temple's demon territory, and we can also open trade routes for them. As a commercial power, we open trade routes. I think the Lamia Black Temple should know this. Everything counts, and I only need one thing that is very difficult for others, but they can easily do it." Speaking of this, the king covered his forehead with trembling hands, and his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty... please rest in peace..." Danny looked at the king, very worried.

"Huh... yeah... don't get too excited..." The king stroked his forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, blinked his eyes, and his pupils shone with luster, "It's just, Danny, the shame of more than 20 years, now There is a chance to wash it, do you think I should look forward to it?"

"Everything will go well, Your Majesty, the old minister will personally follow up and get in touch with the demon territory as soon as possible."

"Well, hurry up."

"The old minister understands."

……

……

"It was a surprise that the king was once a saint-level powerhouse." Back in the room, Leia sat down on the bed and stretched herself, completely in a state of relaxation.

"It looks like I have touched the level of the holy rank. For some reason, the power has receded. I guess it is only about the sixth rank." Lilith leaned against the window, looking at the majestic and magnificent buildings of the palace, stroking her face ,: "But it is indeed as you said, the king surprised me, and I almost failed to make a reasonable reaction."

"Look how cute your reaction was just now, mom and mom called me, it's so sweet." Leia joked, "It's a waste of your good face to have a straight face as soon as you come back."

"Is there?" Lilith tilted her head, looking at herself through the reflection of the window glass, "Isn't I always like this?"

"So, that's why you're not cute." Leia sighed.

"Isn't it a sign of trust not to disguise yourself in front of those close to you?" Lilith said suddenly and seriously.

"Uh..." Leia was stunned, "Why are you so serious all of a sudden, I'm just joking with you."

"I know, but what I just said was not a joke." Lilith looked directly into Leia's eyes.

After being stared at like this, Leia instinctively avoided Lilith's sight, and the next second she immediately regretted it, and cursed herself for hiding.

"What's wrong? Why are you blushing?" Lilith asked suspiciously.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Leia suddenly let out a strange cry, and shouted loudly, "That's why I say you are not cute at all! Do you understand the heart of a girl!"

"Hmm..." When it came to the girl's heart, Lilith really couldn't refute it, she really didn't understand.

"Okay, okay." Looking at Lilith who looked like a fool, Leia suddenly felt tired and couldn't help but cover her head and change the subject, "Aren't you going to investigate that... um... that The daughter of the adventurer's guild leader and a woman wearing a mysterious face? What are we going to do next?"

"Get a firm foothold first." Lilith closed the window and said as she walked, "I guess the Larsen Empire will hide them. Since it is a sensitive target, we can't startle the enemy. We are new here, and we don't have enough trust, especially You will definitely be the focus of attention, you must be careful in every move, and your actions will be very limited until you gain a certain amount of trust."

"Well, let's fight for a long time, I've already been mentally prepared." Leia lay down with her hands behind her head.

"I think you wish for it, but it's hard to say how long it will last, it depends on how things develop." Lilith sat down.

"Hey..." Leia laughed.

"But I still want to confirm again, is the Church of the Holy Light really okay without you?"

"It's okay." Leia waved her hand, "The basic model has been stabilized. It's time to assign some rights to other people. I've been holding it to death by myself. Sooner or later, something will go wrong. I just took this opportunity to see How can they manage the Church of the Holy Light? After all, many important positions are newcomers I replaced, so it’s good to use it as a way to accumulate experience.”

"Since you say so, let's develop well in the Larsen Empire. In a sense, they are really lucky to have the Saintess of Light from the mainland as their deputy head of the knight order." Lilith said, " In the future, I will have to go back to the demon territory from time to time, and I can't always be a shopkeeper, after all, it has just been established and it is an extremely busy period."

Chapter 190 IX Chatting About the Past

"Then when do you plan to go back?" Leia turned over, her long hair swayed forward and covered her face, she raised her mouth and blew, as if she thought it was interesting, but she didn't pay attention to it.

Lilith didn't care about her behavior, but continued, "Let's wait a few days, let's try this first."

Lilith's space ring flickered, holding a pure white doll in her arms, and she put it on a chair.

"Oh?" Leia's eyes lit up, she tossed her long hair back, moved her body out of the bed, and walked to Lilith's side, "This is a magic doll, you actually have such a rare thing."

"Ah, what I found in the territory before, should be something left by the previous nobleman. This thing is quite valuable. I thought it might be useful in the future, so I kept it and didn't sell it." Lilith played with the doll.

"Hmm... it was left by the previous nobleman..." Leia squinted her eyes and showed a smirk, "Have you washed this thing clean, does it have any peculiar smell?"

"What are you thinking?" Lilith rolled her eyes at Leia, and said, "I have already had someone appraise this thing, it's not that high-end stuff, it's just a simple imitation of the appearance, the inside can't be imitated, and it was sealed when I found it , no one has used it."

"Cut...it's really boring." Leia put her hands behind her back, looking disappointed, "But this magic doll can only perform some basic actions, such as imitating sleep, blinking eyes, walking, and it may not work to replace you .”

"Isn't it because you are here? As long as you don't come into contact with people, you said it can imitate sleep? Just find a reason to say that I am unwell, and let it sleep all the time." Lilith said, "Yes Is it better, maybe I can handle it in any unexpected situation, and I will leave a teleportation array in the quilt, and I will teleport it back immediately in case of emergency. The magic array is made by Lunyue, and no one in this empire can perceive it arrive."

"Okay, okay." Leia nodded lazily.

"It's not too late, let's try it first, it seems to be like this." Lilith bit her finger, pressed the blood on the forehead of the demon doll, and then began to inject magic power.

The magic puppet started, its body trembled, and then began to twist like a liquid. After a while, another Lilith appeared.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Leia leaned forward with great interest, "It's exactly the same as your current appearance."

As she said that, Leia stretched out her hand and poked the devil doll's cheek, lowered her small mouth, and shook her head, "It's hard, it seems that it can only imitate the appearance."

"The advantage is that it is practical, and it can last for a long time if you inject a little magic power." Lilith is quite satisfied.

"Hmm..." Leia thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, squatted down, lifted the skirt of the demon doll, and stared inside with wide eyes.

"Hello." Lilith's face darkened.

"Hey... I can't see anything, it's the original doll's body." Leia was disappointed, "Since the clothes can be imitated, I thought it would be a bit of a surprise."

"The specific parts of this kind of puppet do not exist. What are you expecting?"

"You don't care about me." Leia pouted, "Why don't you show me?"

"Okay." Lilith agreed very directly.

"Huh?" Leia was stunned.

Before she could react, Lilith had already started to lift her skirt.

"No, no, wait, wait, wait... I'm not ready yet!" Leia blushed, waved her hands in panic, and quickly covered her eyes.
