Who are you calling a stable boy?!

"Of course, you don't need to worry about this part."

Xueqing waved her hand.

"Based on our investigation over this period of time, we can be fairly certain that the internal strife in Rennestista and Albion was orchestrated by the incompetent King Joseph of Gallia."

Upon hearing Joseph's name, Tabata, whose face remained expressionless, involuntarily tightened her grip on the staff she rarely parted from.

"As a fellow inheritor of the power of nothingness, his familiar is probably the God-mind Misnitron, who has the ability to manipulate various magical artifacts. I estimate that he originally intended to use the Ring of Andvaria to secretly ignite a war that could engulf the entire Halkkinia, but now the Ring of Andvaria is in my possession."

To prevent Joseph and his group from causing further trouble for the Water Spirit, Xueqing went straight to the Water Spirit after returning home to negotiate. They finally agreed that she would temporarily keep the Ring of Andvaria until Joseph was dealt with.

"It's fair to say that Joseph's most troublesome card has been taken away."

At this point, Xueqing's expression turned serious.

"However, this provoked that madman. No one knows how he learned about the legendary ancient dragon, the dragon of Anishend, which was sealed beneath the Fire Dragon Mountains."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jing suddenly understood.

The Familiar of Zero can be said to have two timelines.

One is the fierce political struggle surrounding the power of nothingness. Not only is there the incompetent King Joseph acting as a troublemaker, but the Pope of Romania, who is also a descendant of nothingness, is no pushover either. He is a ruthless sixth brother who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

This is why Zheng Jinghui and Xue Qing proposed helping Henrietta unify Halkkinia.

The other timeline is completely different.

Although the incompetent King Joseph was still a person who only thought about making himself cry for fun, the Pope of Romania transformed from a pure ambitionist into someone who was willing to give up his own life for the sake of all living beings at critical moments.

At first glance, it seems that all you need to do in this timeline is get rid of Joseph.

However, in reality, the continent of Halkkinia in this worldline is fraught with a calamity capable of destroying the entire continent.

Yes, it is indeed the dragon of Anishend.

In the ancient archives beneath the Tristine Magic Academy, Xueqing led Henrietta and the others to find fragmented information about the dragon Anistond.

It was a black dragon as large as a mountain, and it was said to have existed long before the birth of the progenitor, Brimir.

Its enormous black body contains four powerful energies: wind, fire, earth, and water. Wherever it passes, gales sweep, lava erupts, the earth shakes, and torrential rain pours down...

Its existence once led to the demise of the civilization of Halkkinia.

Therefore, the inheritors of the power of nothingness at that time worked together to seal it away.

"Wow......"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jing couldn't help but lean back.

"So, Alatreon really exists?"

Chapter 170: Is it true that if it's not off, it's on?

"Alatreon?"

"Julius asked."

Not only him, but everyone present looked over when they heard Zheng Jing's words.

"An ancient dragon that I, Lao Zheng, and Xue Qing fought and killed."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xueqing.

"cough!"

Xueqing coughed.

"In short! The current situation is that the Pope of Romania has decided to join forces with Henrietta, and the allied forces of the two countries will set off for Gallia in three days to punish the incompetent King Joseph."

"However, considering the chaotic situation in Albion, even without the Ring of Andbaria, the incompetent king could still mobilize a force to launch a surprise attack on the sparsely defended heartlands of the two countries. Therefore, the safer approach is to take Albion first."

"Regarding the Fire Dragon Mountains, the Pope of Romania said he would send elite troops to garrison them, but frankly, this will have little effect."

Upon hearing this, Giulio frowned slightly.

"Why do you say that, Miss Xueqing?"

"Because the opponent is that incompetent king."

Xueqing's response was crisp and efficient.

"If he were to become aware of the movements of the two countries' allied forces, he might even abandon Gallia and personally head to the Fire Dragon Mountains."

"Moreover, even if we can deal with Joseph first, the dragon of Anistond will still awaken."

the reason is simple.

The so-called seal was actually the dragon of Anishend ceasing its actions to digest the Void Descendants it had consumed in ancient times.

The Void Successors were utterly incapable of sealing the dragon Anishend.

All they could do was offer themselves as sacrifices to satisfy the ancient dragon's appetite and make it stop on its own.

When the dragon of Anishend awakens again, its power will only become stronger than before!

If nothing unexpected happens, the dragon Anishend, now possessing five powers within him, will, upon awakening, continue to prey on inheritors of the power of nothingness, just as it did in ancient times, in order to fill the void within him.

This is precisely what Xueqing finds most disgusting about the fact that the incompetent King Joseph has gotten involved with the dragon of Anisend.

If the dragon of Anishend awakens prematurely, the allied forces of the two countries will find it difficult to deal with Joseph, who is taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

However, if they insist on dealing with Joseph first, the dragon of Anishend might awaken at any time, and then they will have to face the dragon of Anishend, which has digested the ancient void descendants and is now even more powerful than before.

The worst-case scenario is that while they are fighting the stubbornly resisting Joseph, the dragon of Anisend suddenly awakens.

"Of course, no matter how bad the situation is, we can't just sit and wait to die."

She clapped her hands, slightly dispelling the heavy atmosphere in the room, and walked behind Zheng Jing, reaching out to hook her arm around his neck.

"That's why I called him back."

"Xueqing, do you really want to...?"

Louise was the first to react.

"Ah."

Xueqing nodded.

“We two will deal with the dragon of Anishend. If it does awaken at the most troublesome time, we will delay its actions as much as possible until the allied forces of the two countries have dealt with Joseph and have the strength to turn around.”

"Wait! Xueqing, this is really—"

Henrietta tried to dissuade her, but was stopped by Xueqing's serious face and words.

"Do you have a better candidate or another way, Henrietta?"

"I...this...is..."

Seeing that she seemed about to speak but hesitated, Xueqing suddenly laughed.

"Don't look at us like we're going to die. How could I possibly take him to our deaths? If I dare to go, it's because I'm confident. Besides, it's just that in the worst-case scenario, the two of us will have to take the lead. Don't worry, I've always had good luck."

With her chin resting on Zheng Jing's head, Xue Qing winked at Henrietta.

"If we're really worried, we should deal with Joseph sooner so that Tabassa can become Queen of Gallia sooner. Once we've integrated the military strength of the three countries, and then mobilized other countries on the continent, our chances of winning against the Dragon of Anisend will be much greater."

That's why Tabasha and Chuluk were also included in this meeting.

Tabasha's real name is Charlotte Herrenouille Orreia.

Her father was the younger brother of the incompetent King Joseph.

In other words, once Joseph dies, Natabasha will be the rightful heir to the Gallia throne.

“Tabitha…”

Chuluk looked at his friend with concern.

"...I'm fine."

Tabasha tightened her grip on the staff.

"I see."

Xueqing felt apologetic as she watched this scene.

She knew about Tabasha's inner turmoil, but the situation was urgent; they had to kill the incompetent King Joseph quickly.

"Hey!"

Zheng Jing, who had been silent as if deep in thought, suddenly spoke up.

Everyone instinctively looked at him.

"I have an idea."

Zheng Jing raised his hand and held up one finger, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"There's no need to make things so complicated. Lao Qing, you just go with the rest of us and stab that troublemaker, incompetent king, to death."

Xueqing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then pulled Zheng Jing's head tightly into her arms.

"Stop messing around, I'm going. What about the Dragon of Anisander?"

This is true.

Although everyone present felt bad about only letting Xueqing and Zheng Jing take the blame for the world-ending disaster, they could only admit that Xueqing's arrangement was correct.

Now, it seems that only these two are truly capable of contending with the awakened dragon of Anishend.

"It's very simple."

Zheng Jing looked up and gave Xue Qing a wry smile.

"Why don't I just become the Azure Star?"

"...Are you serious?"

"I've always been true to you."

"Zheng Jing".

"Okay, okay, don't rush me, I really think I can do it. Even if things don't go well, I can still manage to handle things."

As he spoke, Zheng Jing raised his hand and shared his current data panel with Xue Qing.

Looking at the panel, Xueqing froze on the spot.

"Lao Qing? Hey? What's wrong with you, you're acting silly?"

Zheng Jing waved in front of her face.

"...monkey."

"what?"

"You opened it?"
