The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

It was another prosperous day. Lenia, who was communicating with Maginus, mentioned something that Maginus had said himself.

She herself had proposed that once New Nesery was completely stable, she would ask for Lenia's hand in marriage and bring the princess of Crystal Salt Kingdom to this place.

“Well, about that,” Maginus’s eyes looked a little unnatural, then he apologized to the girl, “I’m sorry, I may have to break my promise, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to marry you for a while.”

“Really?” Lenia’s tone was a little down, but she still managed a smile. “It’s nothing. It’s only right that you’re busy as the Queen.”

"puff"

Seeing Lenia's distressed yet forced smile, Maginus's initial seriousness vanished, and he covered his mouth, barely suppressing a laugh. Looking at her expression, the princess immediately understood something, and a surge of embarrassment and annoyance welled up within her:

"Magnus Imperius!"

"Okay, this time I sincerely apologize. It was wrong of me to joke about this."

Suppressing her smile, Maginus interlaced her fingers to form an arch, resting her chin on it, her eyes deep: "I have already discussed it with His Majesty Sylvis. We will bring you here in two months. News will be sent out during these two months."

"Humph!"

Lenia angrily turned her head to one side, but couldn't help turning back to stare at the incomparably beautiful redhead: "Really?"

"Really, I'm not lying to you. You should cherish the time you spend with the Queen and the King. Take a good rest these two months, because you won't have many more days to go back later."

"Isn't there advanced teleportation technology?"

“You are my queen, no longer a princess of the Sylvis royal family, so you can’t just go there casually.”

The conversation turned somewhat heavy. Lenia nodded slightly, her eyes vacant. As they remained silent, Mira knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, the pioneering team has encountered a danger that they cannot handle, and it may be necessary for you to intervene."

“Coming right away,” Maginus replied, rising to his feet and lightly tapping the mirror with his finger. “That’s all for now. I’ll be visiting you frequently over the next two months.”

"Ah."

There is a mountain range within the territory of Nesseret that is outside its jurisdiction. The reason is simple: this mountain range is inhabited by many orcs, and the kings or lords of all time have been unable to control them as they have established their own domain.

The orc tribes located in the mountains are too familiar with these mountains. If we were to expend our forces to deal with them, it would likely result in heavy losses for our army. Even if we managed to clear out a portion of them, they would realize the danger and disperse into smaller groups, hiding in the mountains and becoming very difficult to find.

In winter, these orcs would come out of the mountains to attack villages. They didn't capture people, they just robbed food, and they would even leave some for the villages, just like mountain bandits.

Therefore, the matter of dealing with the orcs was delayed, and Ebeslut had no intention of taking care of this mountain range until Maginus came to power and started sorting out the accumulated letters, at which point he remembered the old, unresolved matter.

She, Baqi Yiba, specially sent troops here for training. Her original idea was to fight the orcs in batches, subdue them, capture them as slaves, or let the warriors join the legion.

To her surprise, Yue Liang and Yue Qian's pioneering team actually asked for help.

A legion was stationed outside the mountains. The legion commander paced back and forth in his tent, his heart filled with anxiety and fear. The brother and sister, however, remained calm, waving to the commander and saying:

"General, His Majesty is not an unreasonable person. This is an unexpected situation and has nothing to do with you."

"I know, but His Majesty's fearsome reputation is truly terrifying..."

The general couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, a blue vortex appeared in the camp. He immediately reacted, and in fright, he knelt on one knee, looking down at Maginus's expression.

Maginus used advanced teleportation to temporarily arrive at the camp, marking her first time leaving Dover in a long time.

She nodded and waved quietly to Yue Liang and Yue Qian as a greeting, then looked seriously at the general who was kneeling on one knee.

The brother and sister were friends, but she wasn't so polite to the general, adopting a superior attitude: "Get up, Lord Safinroni, what happened here that made me come here?"

"Your Majesty, we have underestimated the strength of the orcs. They have almost built a city in the mountains. We suspect that there are high-level beings among them!"

“It’s not just high-ranking ones,” Yuexi said, rubbing her white hair, “there’s an orc who seems to be close to becoming a legendary one.”

The shocking news made Maginus raise an eyebrow, glance sideways at the mountains, widen his eyes and launch a bloody hunt, his senses covering the entire mountain range.

Chapter 556 Entering the Dream

In her perception, Maginus witnessed an astonishing scene: the orcs, who lived in a tribal system, had actually carved out rocks and cut down trees to build a town on the mountain, with houses constructed from a large amount of stone and a small amount of wood.

There were also weapons; all the warriors' weapons and armor were of very high quality. There was even a blacksmith shop in the town, with human and dwarf blacksmiths helping to forge iron. Their ore was transported from a cave.

What does this mean? It means there are large amounts of metal ore in the mountains.

The town has a population of about a thousand, which is not a small number; most border towns have only about that many people.

It seems that a powerful orc has united all the orcs in the mountains. Not only orcs, but also goblins and kobolds are under their control, which is why there are thousands of them.

However, such a population size is not something a barbaric tribe that relies on the mountains for sustenance could have. Without a stable food source, they would only fall into famine.

Maginus also discovered farmland-like areas in the mountains. They quietly captured the residents of the surrounding villages and brought them into the town, enslaving them and making them grow crops for them.

By all accounts, they must have done this more than a decade ago, during the time when Nesser was fleeing after the Allied forces attacked her.

"Ha..." In the end, I still had to clean up the mess.

Sensing the formidable, almost legendary vitality of the orc tribe, Maginus gazed at an orc warrior drinking, presumably the one who had unified the surrounding monsters.

She looked away and said, "Don't worry, it's not your fault. Nobody expected these orcs to thrive in the mountains."

Upon hearing Maginus's confirmation that he was unharmed, General Safinroni breathed a sigh of relief and inquired about a possible solution. Maginus looked at the brother and sister:

"Can the two of you handle an orc warrior who is close to legendary?"

"No, we're only mid-level, how can we fight against high-level opponents?"

Yue Liang waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that it was no good. Yue Qian rolled her eyes at her older brother and said to Maggie Nustan, "Your Majesty, as you can see, our strength is already close to the high level, and we are just one step away from breaking through."

"What do you need? I can get it for you."

Maginus remained noncommittal, but judging from their vitality and the intense aura emanating from the two individuals, it was clear they were close to reaching a higher level.

“My brother doesn’t need that. He’s a genius in every aspect. He just needs time to accumulate experience to become a high-level expert.”

Yuexi stood up and stood in front of the tall Maginos. Only when she got close to her did she realize that the girl who used to be shorter than her was now so tall.

Looking up at Maginos, who was already over 1.9 meters tall, Yueqian ran her fingers through her white hair and made her request:

“I’m different. I’m too young. I’ve accumulated enough knowledge, but I lack experience and haven’t weathered any storms. I haven’t been tested emotionally either. More importantly, I don’t have that much time to practice.”

"The profession of Nine Swords Master requires time and adventurous experience to bring one's skills, body, and mind to their peak. My body has reached the standard, but the other two are not."

“Miss Mira says you can put people into dreams to exercise, and even extend the time spent in dreams, so I hope you can help me, Your Majesty.”

"Of course, no problem. Come with me. Your brother and the army are temporarily stationed here."

Maginus agreed to Yuexi's request and offered a solution to the orcs: "Stay here for now, and wait until Yueliang becomes a high-ranking officer before taking action. I will then send more troops to support you."

"Yes!"

"Little sister, you just left me like this?"

Yue Liang muttered to himself, but instead of seeking help from Maginos for his training, he raised his water jug ​​to Her Majesty the Queen, indicating that she should take good care of his younger sister.

When Yueqian opened her eyes, she saw a desert. The temperature, humidity, and the scorching sun overhead made her feel that this place was incredibly real.

Yueqian, however, could clearly sense that this was a dream. Her strong perception made it difficult for her to fall into illusions or dreams.

"How is it? My dream is completely consistent with the outside world. The skills you learn here can be used outside as well. As for the sleeping body, my life force can ensure that it remains in the state it was in when you fell asleep."

Maginus appeared beside her, and the girl nodded, shaking her clothes to change into a set of clothing with oriental characteristics:

"Very good. What is the difference in the passage of time between this and the outside world?"

"The ratio is 1 to 30. One day here is equivalent to one month outside. As you instructed, I will subject you to high-pressure training. All the enemies I have encountered will appear continuously, from weak to strong, including both groups and individuals."

With a light snap of her fingers, Maginus conjured the first monster based on Moonbeam's strength: the Killing God Child Elra, the Fear God Child Marku, and the Bishop, whom she had encountered in the Crystal Salt Kingdom and who had cunningly killed to reap the benefits.

This time, however, the three of them were on the same side, all for the purpose of killing Yueqian.

A terrifying killing intent prompted Yueqian to assume a fighting stance, and Maginus continued:

"Once you feel you've honed your skills, the next step is to hone your mind. To be honest, I think my experience might distort your original personality."

She didn't know how to temper Yuexi's mind and will. This Eastern girl made her own request: she wanted to personally experience Maginus's experiences, or rather, to feel her emotions and feelings.

The Nine Swords Masters have a concept of "inner demons." Negative emotions arising from the heart can transform into devils that influence a person's will. Yue Qian has experienced too little and has never done anything she would regret, so she has never had an inner demon.

That's why Yuexi wanted Maginus to be her inner demon, to influence her emotions and toy with her mind.

There's a saying, right? Yueqian asked Maginus to help her with her cultivation.

"That's why I hope Your Majesty can help me. If I'm in danger, please stop immediately."

Still maintaining a youthful figure, though actually older than her, Yueqian bowed in gratitude. Maginus raised her hand and patted her lightly before disappearing from Yueqian's sight.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started. The sooner you become a high-level expert, the easier it will be for me. Good luck, Yueqian."

"Oh, right, I'll add a bit more difficulty for you. When I encounter danger, I do wonder if a hero will come to my rescue. But I have to walk my own path, so I'll have to ask you to protect me."

Maginus's ethereal voice rang out, and the next second a small girl with scarlet hair appeared beside Yueqian, her expression cold and full of killing intent.

It was clearly when Maginus was young, even younger than when Yuexi first met her.

Looking at the girl in front of her, Yueqian remained silent, gripped her weapon, and charged towards the three divine children.

Chapter 557 Wedding Dress

This was destined to be a long "journey." Maginus spared a little of his consciousness to observe Yuexi, but he didn't care about anything else. Anyway, Yuexi would speak up when she couldn't take it anymore.

There are many more things she needs to do. Her marriage to Lenia is destined to be more than just a matter between the two of them; it is also a major event for both New Nesery and Crystal Salt Kingdom, and to a large extent, it means the two sides uniting and cooperating.

She needs to personally plan her own wedding, and of course, she hasn't forgotten the vows she made. Next, she and Lenia will choose a wedding dress.

Maginus sent a message to the princess using magic to confirm that she was free today, and then used advanced teleportation to appear in her boudoir.

He casually picked up a strand of purple hair from the bed, inhaling its delicate fragrance, and waited for the princess of the Crystal Salt Kingdom to arrive.

A short while later, Lenia pushed open the door, and Maginus took off her red dress, snapped her fingers, changed into a tailcoat, tied up her long, scarlet hair that almost reached her knees, and extended her hand to invite the girl up:

"Your Highness, may I come with you to buy a wedding dress?"

“Of course, but aren’t you going to buy it?” Lenia reached out and took Maginus’s hand, and they left the room together.

“I don’t want to wear a wedding dress in front of other people; heavy, bulky things will make me look weak.”

A hint of melancholy flashed in Maginot's eyes as she smiled and moved closer to Lenia: "But I can wear it for you to see in the bedroom. If you want to see, I'll help you pick one out. How about you help me pick one out?"

"Okay."

Looking up slightly at Maginus, who was so tall and held the dominant position in their relationship, Lenia couldn't quite imagine what her beloved would look like in a wedding dress.

Upon arriving at the shop specializing in custom-made wedding dresses, the shop owner had already received word that Princess Lenia was coming with her lover to order a wedding dress. Seeing the tall woman who was more than a head shorter than Lenia, the owner subconsciously swallowed.

Clearly, the shopkeeper did not recognize her. Maginot was wearing a veil, and people from one country would rarely know anything about nobles or even kings from other countries unless they actively sought to learn about them.

"Manager, are the wedding dresses ready?"

"Everything is ready, it's here."

The shop owner pulled out a whole rack of wedding dresses for Lenia and Maginus to choose from. Maginus looked carefully, her hands moving quickly, pulling aside the more revealing dresses.

"Are these not needed?"

The shopkeeper asked, and Maginos shook her head: "No, take all of these with you."

She didn't need to wear it in front of others; she planned to buy it and have Lenia wear it for her tonight.

Next up were the formal wedding dresses. Maginus picked out several she liked, including light, heavy, elegant, and ethereal styles, and gestured for Lenia to choose one.

"Well……"

Lenia looked at the gowns and spent a long time choosing them, trying on several of them before finally selecting the most voluminous one, which also came with long gloves.

The reason she chose the voluminous style was mainly because she couldn't compare to Maginos in terms of figure, and Lenia, who was very self-conscious about this, could only use a voluminous long dress to cover up her flaws.

"It's okay, the little ones are cute too."

Lenia rolled her eyes at her, went into the changing room to change, and Maginus stared at the changing room for a moment before talking to the people inside:

"Speaking of which, Lenia, do you want to live a longer life?"

"Of course I want to! Who doesn't want to stay young forever?"

"No, eternal youth, longevity, immortality, and immortality are four completely different concepts."

Maginus shook his head, explained to Lenia, and then asked again, "Maintaining eternal youth is definitely not a problem, but do you want to live a long life?"

"How long exactly?"

"Hundreds of years, thousands of years, I suppose."

In the dressing room, Lenia fell silent, the only sound the maid undressing her. She soon spoke again:

"Such a long lifespan makes me a little scared. It's impossible for me to die peacefully in my sleep. What if I'm assassinated or poisoned? As your wife, I must be facing a lot of danger, right?"

"That's right, I'm going to become a god someday, and I want you by my side. Since you seem a little scared..."
