But Xia Zhi's actions proved that even if she appeared before him in spirit form, it would still be fraught with danger.
"Have someone push you to the former Marquis Voban's castle. Since you're used to being a spirit, you probably wouldn't mind a different office."
Princess Alice obediently nodded in response to Xia Zhi's instructions, daring not to resist in the slightest, so that Xia Zhi would have an excuse to punish her.
"Yes, my king."
Chapter 164 Princess Alice's Headache (Please Subscribe)
"Royal Factory," now one of the four Godkillers and a direct subordinate of "Black Prince" Alexander Gascoigne, is not a mature magic society like the Bronze Black Cross that has joined the ranks of the Godkillers.
It was built up bit by bit by Alexander himself during the twelve years he spent as the god-slayer.
Just like Luo Hao, the martial arts king of China, who directly commanded the Five Prisons Holy Sect as its leader.
Unlike the deceased Tony, who was merely the nominal leader of the Southern European Magic Society but essentially did not participate in its affairs.
Ace, nicknamed Iceman, is Alexander's trusted subordinate.
Like Alexander, he was a tall white man with a mind calmer than ice, and his strength was close to that of a "Great Knight." He was the Black Prince's right-hand man.
The Black Prince himself possesses the power of speed.
His whereabouts were unpredictable; he traveled all over Europe in search of the Holy Grail.
Therefore, the letter of challenge from the bronze black cross first reached Ace's hands.
Ace already knew that the Bronze Black Cross had betrayed Marquis Voban and was serving the new king.
They challenged the Sword King to a duel, and Tony readily agreed.
"That battle happened yesterday. So, does that mean the Sword King was defeated? The Sword King, who slew four Godslayers, lost to an unknown new king?"
Ace chuckled and said to his subordinates.
"First, have someone gather information about the new king. Those guys in the Council of Sages will definitely not miss the battle between the new king and the Sword King. Try to get some information about the new king's powers."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of black lightning crackled onto the villa's balcony, transforming into a tall figure dressed in a black suit.
"Ace."
"Alexander?"
Ace turned his head in surprise and looked at his boss and friend.
"Weren't you doing archaeological work at the site of the Knights of Lancelot in France? Why did you suddenly come back?"
After dismissing another subordinate, Alexander said to Ace.
"Because my informant sent word that the Council of Wise Men is preparing to declare its allegiance to the new king."
"Those guys from the Council of Wise Men are going to pledge allegiance to the new king?"
Ace was very surprised and found it hard to believe.
He mocked his friend.
"The Council of Sages, who has always been at odds with us and is so stubborn, has actually pledged allegiance to the new king? Good heavens, they didn't even pledge allegiance to Marquis Voban before! It seems the Council of Sages thinks that you and Marquis Voban are not as good as the new king."
Ace's tone contained not only teasing, but also anger and curiosity.
Is the new king really that charismatic? He can even win over the Council of Sages?
Alexander dropped a bombshell that Ace was unaware of.
"The Marquis of Voban is dead. He was killed by the new king."
"Hey, hey, hey, old man?"
Ace's pupils contracted, and the smile on his face faded considerably.
He said thoughtfully.
“I was wondering before why Marquis Voban hadn’t made any moves. The fact that the Bronze Black Cross had sided with the new king was clearly a betrayal of him.”
"So that old man was killed by the new king? The Bronze Black Cross might have even witnessed this, which is why he defected to the new king so quickly."
"Yes."
Alexander fiddled with the ornaments on his desk, his face heavy with worry.
“I suspect Tony is also dead, killed in yesterday’s battle with the new king.”
"Is the new king really this ruthless?!"
Upon hearing this news, Ace's eyes widened in surprise.
Even the Ice Man was shocked to hear the news of the fall of two god-slayers in succession.
"So, is it true that this letter of challenge says 'it will determine victory and defeat, and life and death'? Does he really want to wipe you out as well, and then unify Europe?"
"That's right. So the new king is in trouble."
Alexander nodded solemnly.
"The Marquis and the Sword King both died at his hands. This new king is far too dangerous. Throughout the history of the Godslayers, there has never been such a terrifying individual!"
He sighed softly.
"The appearance of the new king is nothing to worry about. It's just that his strength and ruthlessness have greatly exceeded my expectations and disrupted many of my plans. Let everyone hide. Although it's disheartening, the deaths of the Marquis and the Sword King have set an example. I may not be his match. Let's avoid unnecessary sacrifices."
Ace stopped joking and nodded emphatically.
"Okay, I'll give the order right now."
……
Within the Council of Sages, Princess Alice's spirit returned to her serene body, as tranquil as Sleeping Beauty.
Eric looked at her body and gave her a indulgent yet helpless smile.
"Your Highness, did you go to watch the battle between the new king and the Sword King?"
But Alice's face was not smiling; instead, it was serious.
"Ericsson, I'm sorry I failed to protect them. Summon all council members; I need to speak with them."
Ericsson realized the seriousness of the situation from Princess Alice's unusual attitude.
We failed to protect them?
Could it be that the witches and mages inside the submarine are all...?
"I'll get ready right away!"
Her expression changed, and she strode away decisively.
After Ericsson left, Alice frowned, deeply puzzled by the new king.
Putting aside why he killed Marquis Voban and the Sword King in succession.
How could she, one of the world's most outstanding witches, not have any spiritual vision when she saw the new king?
The priestesses, or witches, are all descendants of the gods.
Furthermore, the Divine Ancestor had an extremely deep relationship with the Earth Mother Goddesses.
The ancient earth has witnessed everything.
Mountains and rivers change, oceans shift, and skies transform.
Therefore, once the clairvoyance is triggered, everything in the world will be known to witches and priestesses.
Whether the brain is overwhelmed by knowledge or the body suffers a backlash from it is another matter entirely.
But with such a powerful god-slayer standing there, it's not like she couldn't see anything!
"So the new king still possesses the power to shield the Earth Mother Goddess from spiritual vision?"
Princess Alice felt a headache coming on.
Vision is the priestess's greatest weapon.
"How many disobedient gods did the new king kill to gain so much power? How could the battle between the god-slayer and the disobedient gods be hidden so well?"
Given the new king's modus operandi, Princess Alice had no doubt that he was like Marquis Voban, a demon king who would not hesitate to destroy a city or a country if he could succeed in killing a god.
However, she quickly changed her mind.
"No. In comparison, perhaps the new king killed a sufficiently terrifying god and gained an extremely powerful authority! Whether it's the protection of steel, the thunder dragon, or the ability to shield spiritual vision, they are all manifestations of some aspect of this authority!"
Thinking of this, Princess Alice immediately showed an excited expression, but then she pondered with distress which great god could meet this condition.
"Such powerful authority must have come from a god-king, or rather, a heavenly emperor! So, which heavenly emperor was assassinated by the new king?"
Chapter 165 The Golden Fox and the Silver Hamster
Xia Zhi was unaware that, due to the information gap, Princess Alice's thinking had been successfully led astray.
Who could believe that the new king, who had killed two god-slayers, Marquis Voban and the Sword King, was neither a god-slayer nor a god of disobedience?
Meanwhile, the other six magical societies among the Seven Sisters received a message from the Bronze Black Cross.
The new king demanded that they arrive within three days at the castle formerly belonging to the Marquis of Voban on the Balkan Peninsula for an audience.
Meanwhile, the Bronze Black Cross also stated in the message that Marquis Voban and the Sword King had both died at the hands of the new king.
The seven sisters initially thought the news was utterly absurd!
Although everything about the new king is unknown, at most he will have killed one or two disobedient gods.
Defeating the Sword King was enough, but he also defeated Marquis Voban and even killed both of them?
This is nothing short of an Arabian Nights tale.
But no matter how unbelievable they were, Granical of the Bronze Black Cross, one of the Seven Sisters, would not deceive them in such an outrageous way.
So, despite their emotional inability to accept it, reason led them to quickly set off for the Balkans to meet the new king.
Based on current information, the fact that the Sword King Tony has not returned indicates that he was indeed defeated by the new king.
Paul Brantley, the supreme commander of the Copper Black Cross, a magic society and one of only two "highest knights" in Europe, who has been the Bronze Black Cross's rival for centuries, and who once protected Princess Alice from six divine beasts, summoned his niece.
Erica, the Golden Fox with Perfect Tea Art Skills, is a master of tea ceremony.
The opposition between the bronze black cross and the copper black cross dates back hundreds of years, starting with their ancestors, the god-slayers.
In that era, five god-slayers roamed the world.
Milan, a city beloved by the world, has surprisingly produced two god-slayers at the same time.
Both being god-slayers from Milan, Italy, Brantri and Granicar each founded their own magic societies, namely the Bronze Black Cross and the Copper Black Cross.
Because of territorial disputes, the two often fought each other.
Legend has it that the two perished together during a battle.
but it is not the truth.
Both the Bronze Black Cross and the Copper Black Cross knew that these two god-slayers were both enemies and friends.
When faced with a life-threatening situation, it is very likely that they will join forces to fight the enemy, but it would be ridiculous to perish together.
Their deaths were not that simple.
However, the two magic societies investigated for a long time but found no clues.
Milan is a city that is not big enough to accommodate two magic societies, so naturally there was competition between them.
This is the root cause of the conflict between the two sides.
In reality, although the two sides disliked each other, it wasn't to the point where it was a matter of life or death.
Even if a fight breaks out, neither side will kill the other; otherwise, Erica and Liliana wouldn't have become friends.
"Uncle."
Sixteen-year-old Erica gave Paul a ladylike bow and seemed to be in a good mood.
She was very beautiful, with a slightly proud personality, and her aristocratic smile radiated liveliness and confidence.
This young girl seemed to possess the bloodline of a god-slayer ancestor. Despite her young age, she had already reached the rank of Grand Knight and was known as the "Red Demon".
Many people have no doubt that the girl will be able to follow in her uncle's footsteps in the future.
