Can't I develop my own character?

In the western border, on the Aphetes grassland.

A group of Iron Blood Army is running around frantically, looking for the so-called space cracks and the "Duchess" who may appear "anywhere" at any time.

ha?

Who is the Duchess, you ask?

How can you even say such words in the Western Territory? Be careful, the Grand Duke might jump up and punch you in the head!

The group of officers were also confused. At the meeting yesterday, the Grand Duke had said something about strengthening vigilance and that the decisive battle with the Western Barbarian Army was about to come, but now the entire army was looking for his wife. They didn't understand what was going on at all.

Of course, perhaps it was the Grand Duke's wisdom that deliberately set a trap for the Western Barbarian Army, because even though the Iron Blood Army seemed a little confused, the Western Barbarian Army confronting them still did not take any action.

The Western Barbarian Army is not stupid. You suddenly lost your composure out of the blue. Who are you putting on a show for?

Trying to trick us? The great hero has already seen through your tricks!

The Western Barbarian Army did not dare to move, and the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army became even more certain that this must be the Grand Duke's plan.

The Grand Duchess, Maganna, has already taken out the Book of Death and intends to inquire about Ryan's whereabouts.

If that doesn't work, she'll prepare a ritual to harness the power of the God of Death to find Ryan.

After all, she was chosen by God, so she could still ask the God of Death for advice, but it was rather troublesome and costly.

As a result, before Maganna could open the Book of Death, magical fluctuations appeared in the mirror she used to communicate with Ryan.

Maganna's expression lit up with joy, and she quickly activated the relic.

"Ryan!"

Seeing Ryan appear in the mirror, the Grand Duke finally felt relieved.

"Where have you been?!"

"Grand Duke, where is Heino?" Ryan asked hurriedly.

"She's fine." Magna pouted, "But if you were a step later, she might have been in trouble."

If there was no news from the Book of Death and the God of Death, she would have to hang Hainuo and kill him.

You were clearly with Ryan, so why are you fine but Ryan is gone?

In fact, Hainuo was not completely fine, because it had been two days since she came out of the chaotic space. However, she was not targeted by the God of Desire. She was just affected by the power of desire and Janus, and stayed in the chaotic space for two more days.

"What happened?"

"This is a long story, so to cut to the chase, I'm in Kazaar right now, dealing with some...um, temporary matters. Just make sure Hainuo is alright. I'll be back when I find the chance. As for the Grand Duke in the Western Territory, you should follow the plan."

"Um...okay."

As long as Ryan is okay.

It's a pity. According to the plan, Maganna was going to use this war as the "transformation ceremony" of the Iron Blood Army, allowing the words "Iron Blood Legion" to enter the ranks of the extraordinary legion.

It would be a grand sacrifice, and she had been preparing for it for a long time, and she wanted to witness it with Ryan.

Humph, it’s all Hai Nuo’s fault. Let her stay in the Western Territory and work hard!

"Alright, Grand Duke, I have something urgent to do here, so that's it for now~"

In order to avoid being discovered by Kachina, Ryan quickly put away the relics after explaining everything. Then he looked around. He was on a meadow outside the city of sin.

Kachina suddenly said that she had to leave for something and would be back soon, so Ryan took the time to report to the Grand Duke that she was safe.

He originally wanted to escape, but the arrangement of the Janus Ritual takes time, and after experiencing the previous scene, he is now a little hesitant to use the chaotic space teleportation. As for running on his own two legs, that is basically impossible. The Janus Scroll can be used, but it is too precious, so he will leave it for later.

And because it was Kachina, the twin queens of Arcadia, the other party seemed to have some misunderstandings about him? Anyway, since he was safe for the time being, he might as well wait and see what the situation was.

Maybe we can dig out some important information from the other party.

"Come to think of it, Kasradi mentioned that the dwarf classmate seems to be in the Khazaar Plains... but this place is quite big, so I don't know where he is."

Casradi is coming too.

There is no problem in letting them handle the dwarf affairs.

The main thing is, Kachina is here.

What if these twins discover Casradi's identity?

Because they stayed in the chaotic space for two more days, according to Casradi's itinerary, they should be here soon.

I don't know if he's clear on this. Judging from the situation, he doesn't seem too interested in politics. Maybe he can't resist Casradi? But anyway, I can't run into him. Compared to this, why would you ask me to be a prince right off the bat? Am I, Ryan, that kind of person? Even if I'm truly a handsome guy, I'm not just any handsome guy.

While thinking about this, Ryan glanced at the mark on his right hand. He really wanted to spit and wipe it off. Damn, is the God of Desire playing tricks on me?

This thing has been quiet for a long time. I didn't expect that the God of Desire would mess with it. It seems that he should spend less time in the chaotic space in the future. After all, it is the territory of the outer gods.

However, what puzzled Ryan was that the God of Desire was right in front of him. If the other party had come out at that time, he might have been able to force him to stay.

After all, whether it is Janus or the Moon Goddess who is doubting the Earth Goddess, the three gods only have power over him, and they are definitely unable to fight against the real gods, or... is it that... the God of Desire does not want to come out, but wants to come out?

"Desire is in the room... Does it mean being trapped in the room? If that's the case, then are the Blood God, the Lord of Trickery, and the God of Chaos in the same situation?"

"But they are gods. Is there anyone who can trap them? Are they the gods of Janus?"

Ryan didn't think so, because since the Golden Dawn, the power of God had obviously been dormant. Although there would still be responses fed back to believers, it was much worse than the previous era.

Otherwise, the technology of mechanical civilization would not have risen so rapidly. When divine power declined, other forces naturally rose.

There are still too few clues. It is impossible to infer anything based on Creed's words alone. The official game didn't say the original background. Even if there is, it is probably a DLC released later. It's all the fault of Dog Game Company for not releasing it earlier.

But then again, at least this verified the truth of what Creed said. I just don't know where that idiot saw that and said it to him in the end. It's obvious that he had bad intentions. If it weren't for the protection of the power of the three gods, an ordinary person would have died by now.

"Well... never mind. Don't overthink it. Stay away from danger."

Ryan lay on the grass and gave up thinking about these things. Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided not to touch it for the time being. The principle of "if you don't seek death, you won't die" applies everywhere.

...

the other side.

In the woods not far from Ryan.

Kachina looked at the shadow in front of her with a helpless expression: "Kakia, my dear sister, you missed me after only being away for a few days? You are so anxious to contact me."

Kakia was still sitting on the throne, looking at Kakina with a serious expression.

"Augustus has formed an alliance with the Northern Federation. I was planning to use the cardinal's information to get that saint to side with us, but it seems that won't work."

"Isn't this obvious? I heard that the saint seemed to be from Augustus. She would definitely choose to help her hometown."

"That's different. The Janus Gate even gave up a cardinal. That's a gesture, understand?" Kachina shook her head slightly. "What's more troublesome is that Wildea's army has entered Lugen and will soon encounter our frontline troops. They have nearly 20,000 Moonlight Cavalry. The few men Williams brought with him are probably no match for them."

"So soon?" Kachina scoffed. "That Queen of Wildea probably wouldn't be willing to do that. The Empress of Augustus is truly insidious."

"Who knows? Anyway, the next step will be very important for Arcadia. Kachina, if you've had enough fun outside, come back as soon as possible."

"Oh Kachia, I'm not playing. I'm looking for clues about the dwarves."

"Then have you found it?"

"I didn't find it, but..." Kachina curled her lips, "I found something more important than the dwarves."

"Oh?" Kakia's expression remained unchanged. She knew Kakina too well. The latter always exaggerated things.

"Really? I found someone who is suspected to be the Chosen One of the Earth God!"

"Ok?"

Kakiya was slightly moved. "Really? Kakiya, this is not a joke."

There are very few chosen ones, especially since the Golden Dawn era. It is rare to see the chosen ones of the "justice faction" anymore. I don't know about other gods, but on the side of the Earth Goddess, Kakia once held a huge sacrifice to try to communicate with the Earth Goddess, but the response she received was very weak.

The miracles on earth that appear today are more like a long-existing 'mechanism' that operates on its own, maintaining the mystery and greatness of the gods in front of the world in order to obtain the most basic gaps in faith.

After realizing this, Kaqiya gave up the idea of ​​having her and her sisters become the Chosen Ones.

"Really, stay with me now." Kachina giggled, "I plan to take him back to be my prince."

"..."

Kakia thought that Kachina was just making up an excuse to recruit the prince for herself, but she soon discovered that the latter was not lying. There was a magical power of empathy between the two of them. At this moment, she could feel that Kachina's words were sincere.

"Has the Chosen One really appeared? Then what are you waiting for? Bring him back now!"

"Don't worry, we'll stay in Sin City for a few days. Maybe we can find out something about the dwarves," Kachina said happily. "And by the way, I can cultivate a relationship with my future prince."

Kakia frowned, "If he is truly the Chosen One, then he is the one chosen by the Earth Goddess."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"You... now some people in the empire think you are a person of desire."

Kakia shook her head slightly, revealing a doting look that she only had when facing Kachina. Although they were twin queens of almost the same age, Kakia was always used to being in the position of taking care of Kachina because of her personality.

So she is the elder sister.

But even so, it is a bit helpless. If the Chosen One of the Earth God really snatches people so blatantly... Although there is no conflict between the prince and the Chosen One, Kakia thinks that Kachina will get tired of it after a while, because the so-called recruitment of the prince is originally Kachina's fun, and the latter is the type of person who is 30% enthusiastic about things and 97% curious about new things.

"Anyway, come back as soon as possible. The Khazaar Plain will soon become unsafe. As for the City of Sin, the Watchers will destroy it on our behalf, and everyone will die."

"Oh, don't keep saying such terrible things...Okay, okay, I'll go back as soon as possible. I'm going to go find my prince now."

After putting the relics away, Kaqiya walked out of the woods humming a song. From a distance, she saw Ryan lying on the grass, emitting a faint divine power of the earth.

The light golden color seemed to fall on Ryan's body, making him look particularly holy... but his posture was not very gentlemanly, lying on the ground with his dick in his mouth, which was really too casual.

But Kaqiya was not disgusted by him. Instead, she felt that Ryan was more genuine. She was used to seeing those guys who were hypocritical and pretended to be gentlemen, and their true nature had been revealed long ago.

suddenly.

Kaqiya noticed several figures quietly approaching Ryan.

The biggest feature of the Khazar Plain is chaos and disorder. The closer you get to the City of Sin, the more chaotic and disorderly it is. If a stranger comes here, it would be abnormal if he doesn't encounter a robbery in a day.

Kaqiya snorted lightly, raised her hand, and golden power fell in the distance. Suddenly, several stone giants stood up from the ground.

The appearance of these stone giants scared those who were about to ambush Ryan. They turned around and ran, but were hit on the head by a large piece of stone, and red and white were splattered all over the ground.

After a while, the robbers went to meet the God of Death.

Ryan sat up and glanced at Kaqiya who was walking towards him. He had already noticed those sneaky guys a long time ago, but he just didn't pay attention.

"Sin City is always a mess, Ryder, you better be careful."

Kakia said with a smile, "Let's go into the city."

"Yes, Queen."

Ryan stood up and brushed the grass off himself.

This was his first time in Qajar. He had only heard of the fame of the City of Sin before. This place was different from the City of Desire. It was the most chaotic place in Qajar and where sin was hidden.

Many wanted criminals choose to come here when they have nowhere else to go.

But wanted criminals are afraid of wanted criminals, and evil people are afraid of people who are more evil than themselves.

When Ryan followed Kachina into the City of Sin, he felt countless eyes converge on him at once, and then someone in the crowd exclaimed—

"Queen Kachina is here!!!"

"Kakina?!"

"Help!"

“Hurry up, hurry up!!”

Amidst a burst of exclamations, the city gate street, which was bustling with people just now, was suddenly left with only a few people running.

Ryan: "?"

He turned his head in surprise and said, "No, sister, how bad is your reputation?"

Ryan had been slandered before, but even so, he wouldn't scare children when he went out.

Kachina didn't care. With a smile on her face, she walked along the street humming Arcadian songs with interest, and from time to time she gave Ryan some information about the situation here.

This was obviously not her first time here, but her second time... Well, the last time she came had a profound impact on her because some blind men had peeped at her beauty, so Kaqiya gave an order and the entire City of Sin became a river of blood, and the population dropped by one third.

Later, everyone in Sin City remembered the appearance of the Gemini Queens.

In fact, the Arcadia Empire naturally has the ability to raze the City of Sin to the ground, but Kachia intends to keep the Khazaar Plain in a state of chaos. After all, she also needs to guard against the Northern Alliance.

"This girl is indeed a bit cruel." Ryan's eyes swept across the scholar, then shifted like a gentleman, looking at the city.

It's a bit like the old Berman City. It's not a place with advanced civil engineering. Maybe the construction can't keep up with the daily damage, so people simply don't waste the money.
