In Xueling Huanbing's impression, the emperor of the empire or the former emperor Drenier should already be a person on the death list. Regardless of her previous exchanges with Duan Qing, Violet and others, Still in the subsequent conversations with Maggie and Laura, a large number of clues had proved this to her: the conspiracy from the Restorers had achieved complete victory deep in Red Shen's palace, and they had even He successfully made the emperor the last sacrifice for the energy disorder in the imperial capital, so it was impossible to gain the trust of Xue Ling Huan Bing when he heard his name again from the mouth of Simon in front of him.
But the system prompt that suddenly echoed in his ears became the most powerful proof to refute this white-haired woman.
Complete the mission: The Emperor's Test.
Trigger task: Emperor's Appreciation.
Do you accept it?
Just like Duan Qing before, he didn't see the option buttons for yes and no. Xueling Huanbing, who stood there for a moment, also had his pupils slightly widened, but the woman named Laura then blocked the way. Between the eyes of the two people, the eyes that were paying attention to each other due to the sudden change of emotions gradually separated: "His Majesty the Emperor wants to meet us, isn't there something wrong with His Majesty the Emperor?"
"This is the easiest question in the world to answer." Simon, who returned to his normal smile, shook his head slightly: "Because I am here now, so he is not dead. It's that simple."
"You want to say that you saved the emperor and brought him back to life?" The fighting spirit around her became more and more intense. Laura looked at the other party's face with a look of distrust: "Even if you usually do it mysteriously, Regarding things related to fate, I don’t believe that you actually have such incredible abilities.”
"No, I think that's not what he wanted to express." Before Simon could say his answer, Maggie took a step forward and interrupted Laura: "He meant that he The edict that has come to us can already explain the answer to this question."
"As expected of the leader who once commanded the underground organization in the capital of the principality. The style of a person like me can be seen at a glance."
The finger shook slightly, and Simon's black noble back disappeared in the movement of turning around: "Even the darkness hidden in the deepest part of the empire cannot hide some difficult-to-conceal facts from the entire world, not to mention there are countless incidents. Unexpected surprises and gifts are waiting for us, giving more changes to the destiny of this world."
"Maggie Salaka, you should be the person who knows this most." The voice suddenly focused on Maggie, who was disguised as an imperial noble: "At least you can be said to be one of the free world humans who understand this. Is it right"
"I don't remember seeing you during my journey of destiny." Looking at each other with Laura in front of her, Maggie shook her head in a low voice: "I don't think you will be better than the one I met now. These two people make me feel more trustful.”
"Well said, this is also in line with the nature of dark people like us." Simon's voice wandered in a low voice: "But we still have plenty of time, and I will change your idea."
"For example, use these two companions beside you."
The disembodied voice turned half a corner in an instant, and the voice belonging to Simon then came to Laura Roland: "Greetings from a long time ago, the noble flower of glory who has just returned to Redcar, I don't know that this imperial capital has just experienced a huge change. , can it still satisfy you?”
"If you are referring to the deaths of both Drenir and Caldera, I am very satisfied." Laura replied softly without fear: "But if you are referring to what I see now , I am very dissatisfied.”
"Don't worry, your family and slaves have not left this world yet." Simon's voice echoed quietly: "They are all waiting for you in another part of the empire, just like the emperor who has just returned, and"
"This time, he will definitely be able to answer your questions." The floating voice made an echo in the air, seeming to gesture in the direction of Red Mountain: "De, who has experienced this storm, Rainier will definitely be more than happy to share some of his new ideas with you."
"Are you interested?"
"Where is he now"
"Yes, yes, that's the expression."
As if she noticed that she could not harm this mysterious man who was like a ghost at this time, Laura's aura decreased slightly, which made the ethereal voice become happy and her tone became more intense. Unscrupulous: "The magical structure has been destroyed, and the prophecy has been revealed. This empire, which is about to embark on a new destiny, needs people like you who have the strength to step onto the chessboard."
"I remember you were called Xue Ling Huan Bing, right?" Like a lunatic patient who suddenly returned to normal, the voice that disappeared into the darkness then let out two deep laughs: "You did a great job this time. , even I admire you a little bit."
""
I don’t know whether he has not recovered from the previous shock or has returned to his previous cold style. Xueling Huanbing, who fell silent, did not rush to answer the other party’s words, and this also made this mysterious empire man whose voice became ethereal, The smile in his original words became a little more obvious: "I don't care about favors and humiliations. He has a strong talent and is worthy of being a person that the emperor and I were extremely optimistic about before."
"Do you want to know the whereabouts of your companions?" The ethereal voice paused for a moment, and then slowly floated towards the distant hilltop where the palace is located: "Go and meet the emperor, there will be the answers you need."
"he's gone."
Listening to the echoing sound gradually disappearing, Maggie, who had always been on guard, then put away her challenge posture. The gaze that had always remained calm gradually wrinkled as the atmosphere sank, as if I am thinking about the meaning of what the person just said: "you"
"Let's go."
Understanding what the other party wanted to ask at this time, Laura put away her vindictiveness and shook her head gently: "If you want to know everything that is happening to my family, I'm afraid I can only meet Delaney. Alright."
"What about you, Xue Ling Huan Bing?" Understanding the meaning of the words of this supreme powerhouse on the continent, Maggie then set her sights on Xue Ling Huan Bing: "What that guy is best at is not only assassination and The power of darkness, and the ability to manipulate and confuse people.”
"I know, but"
Looking up at the direction of the imperial palace, Xueling Huanbing gently shook her head: "If that person, my companion, is really still alive now?"
"He will probably appear there first."
Mission accepted.
Ignoring the strange system prompts ringing in her ears, the white-haired swordswoman then followed Laura who had started to leave with her long sword, and the steps she took also followed the Mai. The rosy-skinned girl walked forward silently and came to the street in front of the palace. The not-so-distant distance meant that this process did not take too long. The numerous chaotic crowds blocking the surrounding area became much calmer with the appearance of the increasingly strict imperial guards here. And because of last night's They were in chaos and looked extremely nervous and solemn. The expressions originally blocking these three people also changed dramatically with the appearance of a certain face: "Who dares to approach the palace at this time? You don't know, wait, wait." Wait, you, you are Lord Roland."
"Really? It's really Lord Roland?"
"It's Lord Roland. Lord Roland is back."
"Hurry, go and report to the palace"
The exciting sound of the message soon spread like snowflakes in the direction of the palace, accompanied by the exciting smiles that appeared on the surface because of the return of the head of the Roland family. Laura, who was accustomed to reacting, then waved her hand and passed through the excited soldiers expressionlessly: "The portal should still be over here, right? There's no need to announce it for me, I'll go up now. .”
"Wait, wait a minute, the palace is now"
"This is Simon's invitation."
Turning back and glaring at the two Imperial soldiers who were guarding the teleportation array, the girl with wheat-colored skin had a look of anger that she didn't usually see on her face: "Really, I have something to do with that guy. It's already annoying me enough, but now I have to walk in front of a large crowd. You guys go and guard my package."
"If you find something is missing when you come back, I won't forgive you."
The chorus of promises then sounded at the foot of the mountain, accompanied by the scene of "one man and two women" gradually disappearing into the teleportation array. Feeling the power of teleportation, Xueling Huanbing then opened his eyes lightly. He looked at the back of the head of the Roland family who was also concentrated in front of him with slightly surprised eyes: "I didn't expect you to be so famous in the empire."
"They weren't like this before." The serious expression turned into an angry and cute one. Laura turned back and made a disgusted expression towards Xue Ling Huan Bing, and the grimace she made disappeared as she moved forward. , with an appearance that had regained its majesty, slowly passed between the imperial soldiers who came to greet him: "In the past, when I hadn't grown up, they looked at me like they were looking at a doll that would make a fool of themselves sooner or later. Likewise, if I hadn't trained my body a little and become the heir of the Roland family, I don't know how terrifying their expressions would have been."
"After a little training," Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice couldn't help but hesitated twice: "What does that mean, does it mean to train one's own strength?"
"People of the Roland family are born with endless power, which is the wealth buried in the blood of this family." Maggie on the side also explained in a low voice: "Don't look at the casual behavior of Miss Laura in front of us, her temperament Innocent, she only needs to tap into some of the talent in her bloodline, and it will be enough to become one of the best in the world."
That is the so-called chosen one.
With such thoughts passing through her mind, Xue Ling Huan Bing nodded her head involuntarily, which also made the girl with wheat-colored skin walking in front of her answer involuntarily a bit shy. : "I, I'm not as powerful as you say, I'm just a little stronger than others. My dark skin was disgusted by others at first, and they called me a blackhead every day."
"It was just a little pet name."
The welcome voice came from the front of the side hall of the palace, and the white cloth figure belonging to Quining Smit gradually appeared from the depths of the courtyard: "But I'm sorry that I didn't stop the spread of this nickname in time. I guess you still have it in your heart. I must have had a grudge all along."
"Uncle, the palace swordsman."
Nodding slightly, Laura stepped forward and whispered in a calm tone: "I know those people didn't mean it. Anyway, I don't seem to be any whiter now than before. Where is Drenir?"
"His Majesty"
There was a look of embarrassment on his face. Quining, who led the two royal guards to the front, became hesitant in his words. Then, a majestic voice sounded behind them, and slowly came the German voice. In the side hall where Rainier usually rests, he said, "Let them come in."
"yes."
The gentle look on his face completely faded. Quining glanced at them and then lowered his head deeply. His bandaged body also retreated to the side of the road with that respectful posture, and turned in front of Laura. The road was completely empty: "Your Majesty is waiting for you in the side hall, please come in."
"What? It's so mysterious."
Frowning her brows again, Laura pouted and walked into the dilapidated-looking hall: "I've seen that old face so many times, I've already vomited it. "
The frightening scream then echoed in this small side hall, frightening Xue Ling Huan Bing who then walked into the palace and almost staggered. After she stabilized her body, she hurriedly Walking into the scope of the gate, he took the scene that the girl saw into his own eyes: "What?"
"Ah, it's the little guy from the Roland family and the adventurer."
He still has that burly body, and still has the majestic image unique to the emperor. The emperor named Drenier seems to have been reborn after death, with terrifying cracks and cracks blooming all over his body. The brilliant light that came out appeared between the thrones in the middle: "Yu"
"I'm glad to be alive to see you again."
