Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Seeing that Ye Qing temporarily fell into deep thought because of this news, everyone present was somewhat relieved.

At least this time I knew why Ye Qing was in deep thought. It was not like just now when it would be inappropriate to speak or not.

Ye Qing himself was sorting out his thoughts, taking into account all the factors that might have an impact before and after this action.

Since he has chosen Feilin's camp, Ye Qing will not give up Feilin easily.

"Okay, I have an idea."

Not long after, Ye Qing walked back to the round table in the hall and sat down, motioning everyone to come over.

Since this is an emergency situation, collecting intelligence is the top priority.

At least we need to figure out what exactly happened and whether there are more complicated situations within the royal family.

"Everyone, I need to trouble you to collect as much information as possible through your own channels, but do not enter the palace yet, even the outer halls, so as not to alert the enemy."

After Ye Qing explained the situation clearly, she left the guild base with everyone else.

They are the only guild in Feilin's camp. If Feilin is really in trouble and they don't lend a helping hand, the situation will only become more disadvantageous for everyone.

At this moment, I am in a mansion somewhere in the inner hall.

Feilin, who was supposed to be a princess, was imprisoned here, and even her hands and feet were shackled with heavy shackles.

But even in this situation, she was not thrown into jail.

"Your Highness, just admit it. At least... His Majesty will not keep you locked up any longer because of our blood relationship, right?"

Just opposite Feilin, the middle-aged man in a strange black robe was persuading her in a shrill voice.

Even though he looked quite decent, Feilin felt sick when she heard that voice.

Not to mention that she was arrested because of this group of people.

"Admit what?"

Feilin sneered. She had her own reasons for being imprisoned this time.

Now that she has a lot of power, if she really wants to escape, or even raise an army to "support the king" it is not a problem.

But Feilin also wanted to figure out why her father became like this.

"The person who assassinated Your Majesty before was the assassin you sent, wasn't he?"

The moment the words fell, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in black robe.

He stared into Feilin's eyes, as if he was deliberately using some means.

However, after a brief silence, Feilin just responded to him coldly.

"I don't have any, no matter how many times I ask."

After saying that, the middle-aged man in black robe slammed the table, pointed at Feilin's nose and started cursing, as if to threaten her to speak out.

But no matter how he scolded, Feilin's expression did not change, and she even looked calmer than ever.

The stalemate continued. The middle-aged man in black robe looked furious and slammed the door and walked out.

"Humph......"

After all, Feilin was born into a royal family, and some things had already been taught clearly.

Perhaps there is no such thing as anti-torture in this world, but as a royal family that grew up during the war, even the youngest princess has received such education.

It was obviously impossible to pry words out of her mouth in this way.

"How's it going? Have you spoken yet?"

After the middle-aged man in black robe left the room, the figure wrapped in dark green robe was already waiting outside the door.

Hearing the man's question, the middle-aged man in black robe shook his head.

"She is the princess after all. She won't say anything even if you force her to confess."

"Then punish me."

The dark green figure's words made the middle-aged man in black robe sneer. He looked at the dark green figure as if he was looking at a clown.

"Although you have controlled the emperor, don't forget that you can't touch any of the people our master wants."

After saying this, the middle-aged man in black robe turned and left, leaving behind the still silent dark green figure.

After leaving the guild, the first person Ye Qing went to find was Delaris.

Delaris may know more about the current royal family than she does.

"I understand the situation, but it's quite complicated. If you intervene now, it might backfire."

At this moment, the two were in a bar in the downtown area.

There are all kinds of people here, but the only good thing is that there are basically no players.

Ye Qing was a little surprised that Delaris, who was hiding in the downtown area, chose this place to meet.

The two of them sat at the bar. At this time, Delaris had changed into an inconspicuous coarse cloth outfit, looking like a dusty street urchin.

"According to your understanding, why did the old emperor suddenly make such a stupid move? Could it be that..."

Ye Qing looked around. Right now, he had to worry about not only the players, but also the NPCs who were lurking somewhere unknown.

Before heading to the underground ruins, Ye Qing had entered the inner hall several times before others, which left an impression on those special NPCs.

"It is most likely that they were the former subordinates of the First Prince, the group of Desire Cultists. However, I am not sure how they got the ability to persuade the old emperor."

I have to say that Delaris's guess was quite accurate.

"What if it has already turned against us?"

Ye Qing's calm words stunned Delaris.

What if it’s already the other way around?

If the eldest prince's former subordinates have already controlled the old emperor, who are actually the ones speaking out now?

Ye Qing's guess is not unreasonable, although it is very bold.

"As long as they control the old emperor, then it's up to them to decide what to say."

Chapter 58 Power

"If you take it seriously, the best way to solve this problem may not be to rescue the old emperor."

Delaris clenched the beer glass in her hand and drank the low-quality beer in it.

She originally intended to use the power of the royal family to achieve her own goals, and she had no sympathy for the entire Hiro royal family.

Whether the country is destroyed or continues to develop like this, Delaris doesn't care at all.

Ye Qing, who was sitting next to her, naturally understood what she meant and looked at the beer in his hand in silence.

Delaris's meaning was obvious. Since the remnants of the eldest prince were able to control the old emperor, why couldn't she, Ye Qing?

"If you need to enter the palace, I can help you. If you need thugs, I can also help you, but we have to make a deal."

Delaris put down the cup in her hand and spoke to Ye Qing quite sincerely.

Although the two sides were fighting fiercely not long ago, they are now able to sit down and talk "business".

This made Ye Qing somewhat thankful that he did not have the heart to kill Delaris at the beginning, and now he finally reaped the rewards.

"I need first-hand information, the specific map of the inner hall and the changing rules of the portal. Get this first and then decide on the next step."

Ye Qing decisively put forward his request. It would be safer to have such a special NPC obtain this information than to have his own people appear in the inner hall.

Now that Ye Qing has put forward his conditions, it is now Delaris' turn to put forward her conditions.

After noting down Ye Qing's requests, Delaris thought for a while and did not rush to make any requests.

"I need you to find something for me. A book to be exact."

As Delaris said this, he took out a piece of book page with some marks on it from his pocket.

When Ye Qing touched the fragment of book page, he clearly felt that this thing was not ordinary paper.

This thing is more like leather than paper.

Ye Qing couldn't help but think of some disgusting possibilities, but he didn't throw away the fragments of book pages in his hand.

In the context of the world view of divine fantasy, it is not surprising that some rather discordant things appear.

"The book is in the Royal Library. As long as you hold this fragment, the two will automatically connect. You don't need to waste your time looking for it everywhere."

Delaris did not explain in detail what the book was, and Ye Qing naturally did not ask any more questions.

Of course she knew that what a special NPC like Delaris wanted must not be simple, but Feilin was more important at the moment.

After a brief silence, the task prompt appeared in front of Ye Qing.

Special Mission: The Hidden One's Deal

Mission Description: Obtain the (unlocked) manuscript, time limit: 7:00:00:00

Mission reward: 30% help and favorability from Drallis.

Ye Qing was the first to click accept, and Delaris, who was sitting next to her, stood up.

She placed a few coppers on the bar and put her cloak back on.

"I'll go get it ready for you. When do you need it soonest?"

"We can't afford to delay tonight. We have to at least see Feilin."

Delaris nodded, then left the bar before Ye Qing.

In the City of Shadows, Sera looked at Ye Qing in front of her and sighed helplessly.

"Zero, it's not that I won't help you, but I really have no other choice now."

Just now, Ye Qing came to the City of Shadows again and asked Sera to open the passage to the inner hall.

It’s not that Sera didn’t want to agree to Ye Qing’s request. Moreover, given the relationship between them, even a deal would be possible.

"why?"

Ye Qing asked back decisively. If she just lacked props, she would definitely try her best to get them.

"The last time I opened the channel, I consumed more than ten years of my accumulation. This is not something that can be solved by just bringing something. I'm sorry, Zero."

Sera also directly explained the reason. Ever since the previous letter incident, her favorability towards Ye Qing and the entire guild has been quite high.

Judging from her words, even though Ye Qing had raised her favorability quite high in the past, Sera never said the word "sorry".

Now that things have come to this, Ye Qing naturally won't make things difficult for Sera anymore.

After sighing helplessly, Ye Qing pulled out the list in his notebook and was about to cross out Sera's name when he was stopped.

"Although I can't open the passage, I should still be able to help you."

After saying this, Sera's face showed obvious regret.

But after some hesitation, the words had been spoken, and Sera had no intention of taking them back.

"really?"

Ye Qing quickly crossed out the menu and looked at Sera with some surprise.

It would be great if he could get some help now. Ye Qing had to unite all the forces that could be united as much as possible.

"This thing was extracted after defeating the Apocalypse Knight last time."

Sera waved her hand, and the vines beside her fetched a black seed.

"The old emperor is dying."

The young man in a white coat lying on the sofa drank his coffee in silence. Facing the news just delivered, he couldn't help but recall the days when he was still in the abyss.

"You are proud, arrogant, cold, and inhuman."

This is his evaluation of the second prince.
