People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

As if realizing that his tone was a little wrong, causing Marika to frown a little unhappy, Radagan changed his previous tone and spoke.

However, Malika knew what Radagan said, but she was very unhappy with Radagan's tone.

"... Radagon, although you are my half, you are not me, not a god, so it is not your turn to meddle in my affairs!"

Immediately afterwards, Marika's scolding came along with the pressure of the gods.

The breeze stopped in an instant and everything was silent.

Everything seemed to fear her existence. The sky trembled slightly, and the rolling dark clouds seemed to be torn open by an invisible pair of hands, revealing the brilliant starry sky.

Pfft!

Radagan suddenly knelt on one knee, completely unable to resist Marika's residual power. His bones collided with each other, making a creaking sound, and his muscles and cells were wailing in pain. The enormous pressure made him unable to even lift his head.

....This is the power of the gods.

"...I overstepped my bounds, Lady Marika."

Radagan couldn't help but clench his fists and grit his teeth, and these words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"...Hmph, Radagon, my half, I hope you can recognize your own status. You are not me yet, so you have no right to dictate to me. I don't need you to judge me for what I do."

Marika stared at Radagon, who was as tiny as an ant, narrowed her eyes slightly into a dangerous arc, snorted coldly, and retracted her divine power.

"Yes..."

Radagan knelt on the ground, breathing heavily. His muscular body was covered with crystal-like sweat, which had soaked the ground without him noticing.

Although it was true that he was half of Marika, he could not match this woman in terms of strength or talent.

He had clearly tried his best to become stronger, went to Kalia to learn pyroxene magic from his first wife, Reinara, and learned prayer from this woman in Rodel, and even tried to get involved in other laws.

But there is still an insurmountable gap between him and this woman, and he cannot become the most perfect existence in his ideal.

Just this one time, he realized the gap between himself and Malika.

"...Then please withdraw, my half. I do not need your protection here for the time being."

"Yes...."

Radagan lowered his head and accepted the order, then slowly stood up and left, but before leaving, he turned back and looked deeply at Malika.

He discovered that Marika was hiding more and more things from him.

Just like that, King Elden left his throne and the courtyard that should have belonged to him, leaving Marika alone to bathe in the withered leaves of the golden tree.

It is true that Radagon is the King of Elden in public, but behind the scenes he is still just a tiny half of Marika's.

Staring at Radagon's receding figure until it disappeared, Marika raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and maintaining the majesty of a goddess, she walked to the throne of Elden and sat down.

This throne was originally a place shared by gods and kings, but now she is the only one who enjoys it.

Her slender arms rested on the armrests, supporting her head. Her golden braids fell down, and her pure golden eyes gazed at the open space ahead as she softly called out:

"...Aleto."

As her voice fell, the air in front of her suddenly began to twist, and a black figure knelt silently in front of her.

The man wore a deep black hood on his head, making it impossible to make out his face. He was wearing an invisibility cloak made of black gauze. The armor on his chest and arms, and even the boots wrapped around his legs, were made of silent scale armor.

This outfit is exactly what a female assassin group formed by rare people of the same clan as Marika, and it is also the strongest assassin group in the border area.

The man at the head was none other than the leader of this assassin group - Aleto.

"...Aleto, I need you to send people to Lienia and Nimgefu to find a young man. This is his portrait."

Marika, who was sitting on the throne, waved her right hand lightly, and a parchment scroll was thrown over.

Aleto caught it steadily, unfolded the scroll and looked at the portrait on it.

"This young man is called Reinhardt, and he possesses the Law of the Sun..."

"Are you going to kill him?" A slightly hoarse voice came from under the hood.

As Aleto looked at Reinhardt's appearance in the portrait and listened to Queen Marika's introduction, her eyes gradually narrowed.

Although she was just an assassin and the struggles among the upper class had nothing to do with her, she was very clear that since Marika summoned her, she must have wanted to get rid of someone.

But this time, Malika's answer was beyond her expectations.

"...No, this time I want you to send someone to protect him and stay by his side at all times."

Aleto was a bit surprised to hear this. It was a bit unbelievable that the task of protecting people would fall to them, but she still responded decisively: "...Since this mission is so important, then I will go personally."

"No, Aleto, you are the person I trust the most, and you will be needed for future missions, so you can't..."

Marika couldn't help but smile when she heard this, because she knew Reinhardt's habits very well.

Although Aleto is also a beautiful woman, she is still a little bit lacking.

However, she soon thought of a suitable candidate.

"...I remember you have a daughter named Di Xi, right? Let her carry out this mission."

"But... Your Highness, although Di Xi is being trained as my successor, she is still young and inexperienced. I'm afraid she can't take on such an important task." Aleto hesitated. She had a premonition that once Di Xi left her side, it might be difficult for her to come back.

"That's fine. Di Xi is the most suitable person to handle this mission, and it can serve as a training ground. After this mission, I believe Di Xi will grow beyond your imagination, Aleto."

Malika said without letting anyone refuse.

"Besides, this goal is also a turning point for you."

"...If one day you encounter disaster, you can seek his help. I believe he will not refuse you."

Marika's words were profound. Even Aleto, who had been with Marika for so long, was a little confused, but he finally agreed.

"...Yes, Queen Malika, I understand. I'll go tell Dixi to prepare to depart."

"Well, go ahead, believe me, you won't regret this decision in the future."

"Yes!"

After getting Marika's approval, Aleto's invisibility cloak worked again and his figure slowly disappeared.

The light footsteps brought up some fallen leaves, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the courtyard.

Marika was left alone in the royal court again, but this time she was smiling.

"Haha, Reinhardt, my dear bedmate, I thought the road ahead was paved for you, but how far you can go depends only on you."

He gently stroked his belly and smiled smugly.

She has done everything she should and can do, and now she can only entrust her fate to this variable.

However, after saying this, Marika's figure gradually dissipated and turned into fluorescent dots that disappeared on the Elden throne.

She still has one final gift to prepare, which will take quite some time...

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the small town of Laska at the southern end of Lienya.

The golden tree bloomed as usual, but as usual, the weak light source shone through the layers of mist onto the water.

It was clearly early in the morning, but the whole town was already bustling with activity. Vendors began to hawk their wares, trying to attract passersby.

At the same time, Reinhardt in the hotel also woke up slowly.

"Heh~~~yawn——"

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat on the chair and stretched.

It's really uncomfortable to sleep on this low chair all night. My body feels a little stiff and I can't help but want to move around.

So he subconsciously covered his waist and slowly stood up, but suddenly discovered something.

"My waist... doesn't hurt?!"

This was a very new thing for him.

You know, every time I was squeezed by Marika, even though I was used to it, I would feel a slight soreness in my waist and legs, but this time I didn't feel anything.

Then he remembered.

"Oh yeah, it was a dream... that's okay."

Although in this dream he was defeated by Marika in the early stage, and he used all his skills and bravery to defeat Marika in the later stage, the battle situation was also extremely miserable.

Fortunately, it was just a dream this time, otherwise, I think my kidneys would really be in danger again...

"Forget it, as long as my back doesn't hurt, why bother with so much."

Reinhardt stretched again and was about to ask Teacher Serlian to pack up and get ready to leave, but when he turned around, he saw his dear teacher Serlian lying on the table and sleeping soundly.

“Yeah yeah….”

It seems that we won’t be able to set off for a while.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but put one hand on his waist and smiled helplessly.

"If you want to sleep, then go to bed and have a good sleep."

He walked forward, stared at the quiet and beautiful sleeping face for a few seconds, then gently picked up her body, put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt. He then gently lifted the hair stuck to the corners of her mouth to the side and spread it on the pillow.

Even when he fell asleep, he kept mumbling about the theory of origin.

As expected of Teacher Seren, even when he is sleeping, he never forgets to study the so-called dream, the origin of the demon of the pyroxene magician, in his dreams.

Reinhardt shook his head and didn't intend to continue listening. He turned back to the table to deal with the mess left by Teacher Serlian.

The unfinished notes and the unread parts of the notes were marked with bookmarks, and then neatly put back into the backpack along with the messy equipment and a pile of books and notes on the origin left by predecessors.

All this was done smoothly, without any hesitation, and the level of orderliness showed that he was not a novice.

In a short while, the table was clean.

Rinehart said it's a habit developed early on.

When he was in college, the teacher's daily life was so casual. He often piled up the books randomly and even slept on the books.

Over time, I developed this habit of helping the teacher clean up the desk when the teacher was asleep, and occasionally cleaning up the messy room.

Even though it's useless, it will return to its original state the next day.

"...Disciple, Disciple...don't trust that little princess's words...your master won't harm you...your master will definitely lead you to discover...the secrets of the starry sky..."

For no reason, Se Lian started talking in his sleep again, and even threw off the quilt covering him.

I don't know if she was really asleep.

"Yes, yes, Teacher Seren, I won't trust Princess Ranie's words. I will stand by you."

Reinhardt replied softly while slowly covering himself with the quilt.

Looking at Teacher Se Lian's peaceful sleeping face, his heart beat a few times uncontrollably and his nose felt a little sore.

This way of speaking really brought up some unnecessary memories.

That tone reminded him of how Teacher Seren turned into a magician's ball at the magic academy.

Even after nearly losing consciousness and turning into a chaotic and terrifying magician ball, he never forgot his unworthy apprentice...

Thinking of this, his vision became a little blurred, and even his palms clenched tightly inadvertently.

Now that I have come to this world, I never want to see Teacher Se Lian’s miserable future again.

Change this no matter what!

105. Lani, all show and no substance (5K)

"...Is this Nimgefu? Hmm... The scenery is indeed very different from Lienia."

On the gravel corridor, Se Lian rode the horse he had bought and looked at the lush green forests and trees around him and the patrolling soldiers. He also felt the slightly dry breeze blowing in his face. He couldn't help but pinch his chin lightly and looked thoughtful.

After several days' journey, the master and disciple followed the merchant group across the bridge to Nimgfu.

At this moment, they just stared at the never-ending storm passing through Storm Hill and reaching the checkpoint.

Reinhardt originally wanted to visit Godwin who was stationed in Stonewell City. Teacher Seren also suggested this. She also wanted to meet the legendary prince of the Golden Dynasty.

But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up.

Because of his relationship with Marika, he was a little reluctant to meet Godwin and felt a little embarrassed.
