Chapter 238: On the eve of the storm

The air in the void began to distort, and a pure white, beautiful bird gradually appeared in the originally empty space, it flapped its wings and flew towards the sky with joy, but in the next moment, the little bird suddenly stopped moving, and the beautiful sound stopped along with its body, and then "snapped" like a broken soap bubble and burst into the air again.

"That's it."

Christie lowered her right hand, and the scroll of true knowledge in front of her automatically closed, and then the quill in the girl's hand turned into a soft light wrapped around Christie's fingers, transforming into the original simple silver and white ring. It was only then that Christie sighed softly, and then reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead. Although she successfully unleashed a spell that shocked the casters of the entire continent, the girl's face showed a disgruntled expression.

"Still too short......... That's a little bit of time......... Still doesn't work..............."

"You've done a pretty good job."

As the girl muttered to herself, another voice came into her mind, and Christie was all too familiar with it. That's another self, a half of oneself, to be exact.

"But............ Still is............ Inadequate............! ”

The girl's voice was not loud, and it was not even faint enough to be heard clearly without listening carefully, but if you listened carefully, you would find that there was a rather tenacious and resolute belief hidden in it. For Christie, that wasn't enough, and she could feel the difference between the two sides because she was constantly fighting with another Christie. When the other self controlled this body, she could feel the endless power in her body, which was as vast as the sea. The force surged out like a roaring flood. There is little that can stop this force. But when you control your body, that force is like just a big basin of water, and it flows clean just by pouring it. Now, in less than half a minute of using the True Knowledge Scroll, Christie has completely exhausted her soul power. And all she did was draw a bird.

"The Picture of True Knowledge wasn't meant to be a weapon for long-term combat, Christie. Your body determines that you cannot have the ability to directly extract the power of the soul like I do. Although you can also do this through training. But without protection, allowing such a large amount of soul power to pass through your body can cause irreparable damage to your body, and you may even die. Christie, you're not like Lord Rhodes, your body is still human, and because of the erosion of blood, your body is weaker than normal. So now all you need to do is calm down and lay the groundwork. Work on your strength and think about how you fight. Don't be in a hurry, Christie. ”

"Uh-huh........."

Hearing the other self's persuasion, Christie nodded, and then she sat down and began to meditate with her eyes closed. And beside her, Suzuma quietly and curiously stared at the girl in front of her. At this moment, Suzu is wearing an elegant dress and holding a heavy book in her hand. From the outward appearance it looks no different from an ordinary girl, the only thing that catches the eye. I'm afraid the only ones are the two huge daggers hanging from the girl's waist.

Ever since she left the vault, Suzu has been by her side as Christie's personal playmate and maid, and as Rhodes expected, the two are now as close as sisters, but even so, Suzu can't figure it out. For what Christie must have to train so hard, Suzu also knows a little about Christie's situation. In her opinion, Christie was not in good health, and it would be nice for her to let the other one do the fighting. And he will be by her side to protect her. So why does Christie do this kind of thing? Suzu said she couldn't understand it, but since Christie was going to do it, she could only choose to support it...............

"Knock knock."

At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which made Suzu frown, she glanced at Christie, who was in meditation, and then quickly stood up and came to the door, gently opened the door, and soon, another figure about the same height as herself appeared in front of her.

"Ah, Suzu, is Christie there?"

Little Bubblegum poked her head out of the crack in the door and looked inside curiously, and when she heard Little Bubblegum's question, Suzu turned her body sideways and let Little Bubblegum see Christie's figure who was meditating. And after seeing Christie, little bubblegum also lowered her voice.

"I'm meditating again......... Little Christie is so serious, hey, if she were a player, she would be able to mix in a good position in the starlight with this energy............"

Saying this, little bubblegum pursed her lips and glanced at Suzu, who was standing quietly next to her.

"By the way, I'm looking for the big sister, has the big sister been here?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Hearing Little Bubblegum's inquiry, Suzu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the "big sister" in her mouth was referring to the girl who often came here to guide Christie, whose name was the same as a bird. So she shook her head, and seeing Suzu's response, Little Bubblegum didn't say anything more.

"Didn't come............ It's really strange, I was looking for the big sister to have something, where did the big sister go? Forget it, I'll go to the tower to have a look, thank you. ”

As she spoke, Little Bubblegum smiled and patted Suzu's shoulder, then turned around and left with a "whoosh", and looking at her back, Suzu shook her head speechlessly. Although the two of them are not much older than each other, Suzu can't understand what little bubblegum is in her head. No one seems to understand what she says, but she doesn't seem to care, and sometimes you can't tell if she's talking to herself or someone else.........

Thinking of this, Suzu shook her head, then gently closed the door to make sure there was no sound, and then she sat back in her chair, holding the book in her hand, and began to plunge back into the sea of books. And after a few moments, Suzu's ears rang with Christie's voice.

"Suzu............ What's up? ……… Someone......... Looking for me? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

The other party came looking for the canary, not Christie. Thinking of this, Suzu looked up and shook her head at Christie, who had come back from her meditation. Seeing Suzu's answer, Christie didn't say much, after all, she had been with Suzu for so long, and she was used to this way of communicating with Suzu. In fact, Christie doesn't think it's a good thing for Suzu to go on like this. Except for the rest time, she follows herself almost inseparably. This makes Christie feel very difficult, not because she is not used to being followed by Suzu, but she would prefer that Suzu has more space for herself, rather than always doing it for herself. Thinking of this, Christie's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she gently slapped her palms.

"That's right............ Bell......... We'll go to Rhodes in a moment......... How about playing together? ”

It was a very calm afternoon for Marlene, after she arrived in Grandia. She's been living like this. As Grantia's government affairs gradually got on the right track, Marlene's burden began to lighten somewhat. Although there are so many people below who need to be pacified and cared for, fortunately there is a dragon soul sheltered here, and no one dares to make any trouble. The territory is gradually getting back on track, and the deficiencies are gradually being reintegrated, which makes Marlene feel more satisfied than ever, although she has been helping to do similar work before, but managing a real country and a territory are different after all. Although Rhodes does not consider his Void Realm to be a nation. However, as a politically sensitive Marlene, of course she knows what Rods is up to. And in fact. The current Void Lords are no different from a truly independent nation, except that they do not have an official founding ceremony or name.

But to be honest, although intellectually, Marlene thinks that the official establishment of the country is more beneficial for Rhodes, emotionally, she still prefers the current model. After being a nobleman. Marlene has heard and witnessed a lot of hardships and hardships since she was a child, but blessings cannot be shared, and after the country was conquered, there were internal divisions for various reasons. If Rhodes wanted to create a formal state, then his own people would have more formal and strict positions, but in this way. will make their originally close relationship gradually become indifferent. At least Marlene couldn't imagine what it would be like when she would call Lijie an adult with a serious face, looking like she was doing business. Although if Rod really planned to do this, she would have supported it, but now that Rhodes did not intend to convert his territory into a more strictly formal relationship for some reason, Marlene was naturally happy.

"Knock knock."

Just as Marlene put down the quill in her hand, there was a knock on the door, and Lijie walked in with a mess of papers.

"Marlene, this is the plan map for the route of the floating ship in the territory that you asked for before........."

"I got it, thank you, Lijie."

A soft smile appeared on Marlene's face at the sight of Lijie's appearance, and then she reached out to take the file and placed it on the table. After setting up the Wind King's enchantment, Rhodes gave Marlene the task of planning the route map of the floating ship in the territory, although at first glance it should be free to fly in the sky, but in fact Marlene knows very well that if there is no planning, then it will not be able to take advantage of this rare opportunity. Luckily, as the creators of the Magic Spaceship, the Shania family is naturally very familiar with this kind of thing, so they don't feel any trouble dealing with it.

By the way, the migration of the Shania family has also begun, except for a small fief of the Shania family itself, they have returned the rule of most of the territories that originally belonged to the Shania family to Lydia, although the Shania family has cooperated happily with the Moon royal family after this long period of time in the Duchy of Moon, but now, now that the family's mission has been achieved, they have naturally returned to their roots. Not to mention that Marlene has now awakened to become a six-pillar demon god, with the magic technology strength of the Shania family itself, coupled with the fertile land and rich resources of the Void Domain, combined with Marlene's wisdom as the demon god of knowledge, it is conceivable that in the near future, the Shania family will be even stronger than before. As for the departure of the Shania family, Lydia was not surprised or hindered, as this was originally the royal family's agreement. Second, before leaving, the Shania family handed over all the drawings and intelligence information of all the magic technology developed by the two sides to the royal family, so that the two sides could be considered to get together and disperse, and give each other enough faces, at least not to the point of turning faces.

In fact, Marlene suspects that Lydia may have known the identity of Rod. Last year, during the civil war, the Shania family was distinguished by their achievements, but in the hands of Lydia they were all rewarded with honor. Originally, everyone thought that Marlene, who performed well, was likely to become a lord of a land, but the final result was that she was just a frivolous court scholar and sent away. At that time, it also caused quite a stir among the upper nobles, and many people speculated whether this was a harbinger of the fall from grace of the Shania family. Now it seems, from that time. Lydia prepared for a very likely scenario.

"How's it going?"

Lijie looked at the papers spread out on Marlene's desk and asked involuntarily. In terms of identity, Lijie is also Rhodes's lieutenant, but there are very few things she can do. In fact, the only time Lijie actually gave orders as an adjutant was when she commanded a battle on behalf of Rhodes during the Civil War. The rest of the time, she is still working as a spirit master and is also responsible for the logistics of the team and the guild. And now, after Rhodes established the Void Domain, Lijie is also determined to change herself, so she follows Marlene to learn to deal with those political affairs, in order to reach the level of a qualified adjutant.

"The current situation is slowly getting better, as long as the system is established. The rest is easy to say. ”

As she spoke, Marlene gave Lijie a relaxed smile, then she packed up the papers in her hand and put them aside, and then looked at Lijie with a slight sly smile.

"By the way, when this is done, our day's work is over, do you want to go to Rhodes for a cup of tea in the evening?"

"This .................."

Hear Marlene's inquiry. Li's white face flushed slightly, and of course she understood what Marlene's invitation meant. Akari is going to drink tea. But the truth is that everyone knows exactly what is going to happen next. If it were in front of others, maybe Lijie would still be a little shy, but now in front of Marlene, she wouldn't care too much, but nodded lightly, and then sat on the chair next to her. Start preparing for the last work.........

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

"Huhuhu............ It's really interesting. ”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Qilian shook her tail proudly, and the fox-eared girl was sitting on the chair leisurely at this moment, stretching out the fingers of her right hand against her chin. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a funny smile appeared, staring at the screen in front of him. If you look at it from a distance, you can see that the seven love is located in a large circular black space, in which there is no light, instead, in the surrounding walls and in the air, there are moving mirror projections everywhere. This is exactly where Rhodes placed the projection crystal, through this crystal, he can easily obtain information about what is happening in all parts of the Void Realm, almost equivalent to a core thing that can manipulate countless surveillance camerasβ€”β€”β€” if it weren't for Sarah's presence, then this thing would be basically a chicken rib for Rhodes. As the intelligence ruler of the entire territory, Qilian naturally has the authority to enter here for supervision, but now seeing her so proudly wagging her tail, it is more like "using power for personal gain".

"Well, good job, little Sarah, he, I know that sooner or later there will be such a day, and the master will be in trouble this time. Is it a hatchet? What about good ships? Or a pedestrian bridge? I can't wait............ By the way, little Sarah, can you help me find Miss Canary's whereabouts? ”

"Of course, Lord Seven Love."

In the face of the request of the Seven Loves, Sara did not panic in the slightest, she reached out and gently shook it on the virtual crystal projection in front of her, and soon, with Sarah's movements, one of the original countless pictures was magnified, and then the figures of the canary and the little bubblegum appeared on it. And seeing this scene, the eyes of Qilian exuded a dazzling brilliance.

"Huhuhu, it's getting more and more interesting, it seems that I can also get a kick now. Very well, thank you for your help, little Sarah, then I'll go first! ”

With the playful voice of Seven Loves, the bright magical light suddenly exploded, and then the entire space returned to its original calm again. And it wasn't until this time that the corpse slave girl who had been sitting quietly in front of the projection crystal turned her head, slowly glanced at the position where Qilian, who had disappeared without a trace, and then turned her head. Refocus your gaze on the projection in front of you.

"Please go all the way, Lord Seven Loves."

For Rod, it was just the most ordinary day of boring time, but even so, Rod did not forget his responsibilities as a lord. When he got up, he went around to see how the migrated inhabitants were doing. However, in terms of results, Rhodes was satisfied. With those three pseudo-people, the migration work is also in order, and the recruitment of soldiers from the aborigines has gradually begun, and the weapons and armor in the Shania family can be regarded as making up for the original lack of armament to a certain extent. Seeing the hot development of his territory, Rod couldn't help but feel very gratified. Although the reality does not digitize these things like games, looking at the houses and towns built on the originally empty ground, I can't help but sigh at the strong adaptability of human beings to the environment.........

By the time Rhodes returned to his palace in Grantia, it was late afternoon. The quiet and peaceful palace is bathed in the silvery moonlight, and the singing of the little goblins can be faintly heard in the distance. It is mixed with the sound of clear flowing water to form a beautiful melodious melody.

If I could, I would like to live like this forever.........

Looking at the quiet and peaceful night in front of him, Rod couldn't help but sigh. But it's a pity that he also knows very well that things will not develop as he imagined, and the peace in front of him is only temporary, and the near future, himself and his territory. I am afraid that we will have to face another, more dangerous war again. Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but shrug his shoulders. Then he turned around. Walked towards his room. But when Rhodes came to the door of his room, he was surprised to find that there was already a guest there.

"Ah, Ro, Lord Rhodes! Good evening! ”

"Labis?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who wrapped herself tightly in a cloak, Rhodes was taken aback. It was the first time he had seen an elven girl leave her workshop without receiving any orders. But in retrospect, it seems that I did give her a vacation for a while. I don't know what Radharbis came to do with her, but it's better than staying in the workshop all day and studying how to make an explosion.

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

Seeing Labis standing outside his room looking nervous and uneasy, Rhodes couldn't help but ask, and he quickly looked Labis up and down. I don't know what the road is for. Labis seems to feel a little weird to Rod today, although on the surface she doesn't seem to be any different from usual, but I don't know what Lu Dao is, Rod always feels that she seems to look more sexy than usualβ€”β€”β€”

It was strange, Labis was not dressed revealingly, and was even more conservative than usual, except for the neck and head, the girl's body was completely covered in a cloak. But Rod found that his eyes were always looking at the girl's neck and fair cheeks, which were obviously just the parts that he often noticed on weekdays, but at this moment he gave Rod a sense of excitement as if he was appreciating the most secret and attractive parts of women.

What's going on? Recently, keeping warm and thinking about lust is too strong?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help frowning, he was sure that the Labis in front of him was not someone pretending, but the current situation was ......... It really made him feel a little weird.

Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway.

Although Rod felt that something was not quite right in his heart, he didn't take it too seriously, because it was Labis in front of him, who was second only to Christie in terms of honesty, and Rod didn't believe that Labis would have any ill intentions towards him, and even with Labis's strength, it was still too difficult to influence Rhodes. The attribute value of the Creation Dragon Soul is not something that looks good there.

"Anyway, let's talk about it first."

As he spoke, Rhodes opened the door and walked into the room. Looking at Rod's back, Labis couldn't help but curl up, but she quickly gritted her teeth.

Come on, Labis! This is your last chance, and you will definitely succeed!

Thinking of this, Labis took out the potion in her arms, took a sip, and then she looked up, mustered up her courage, and walked into the room.
