Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
The matter of the Evil God Scrolls has temporarily subsided... but this does not mean that the situation is completely resolved. There are too many Evil God Scrolls, and new leaders will be born after the leader dies.
Mana's voracious appetite made them formidable monsters...
This doesn't mean that Yinla can go to the spirit world... Before that, he needs to understand what it means to say, "It's okay, Hedy Lin will find us food; the time to feast is coming!"
To be honest, Yinla already guessed... those tentacles that Hedylin had contracted.
As her student, Hedy Lin's death trigger was also as black as that vast ocean, with tentacles reaching out to prey on everything. However, Illa did not actually connect Hedy Lin's death trigger to the evil god's scroll.
On one hand, Illa had always thought that Hedylin's death trigger was to summon a giant octopus, and that there weren't many exposed eyes on those tentacles... On the other hand, he never imagined that Hedylin would be connected to the calamity.
In terms of sheer lethality, Hedyll's Death Trigger isn't much stronger than Marilla, Rebella, or other governors with [seats].
"Heydilyn... she's actually the master of the Evil God Scroll."
Muttering helplessly to himself, Yinla quietly stopped in the sky above the imperial capital... He slowly landed on the ground, retracting his spread wings, and many people had already noticed him along the way.
Even if this weren't the Empire, Yinla would still be a celebrity in the world, not to mention... before he became truly famous, he was the most famous in the Empire, and not in a bad way.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).
"Apply to enter the city."
As Yinla spoke to the royal guards, he submitted his report for entering the royal city, just as he had done before, using the form for "diplomatic exchange"... This form had been prepared in advance in the Demon King's territory.
The guard seemed very excited. He took the report from Yinla, but without reading it carefully, he said excitedly, "Lord Yinla, it's been a long time."
Although they chatted as if they were old friends, Yinla didn't actually remember him... He was probably not a guard Yinla was familiar with; he was likely a newly promoted member of her own faction (Yinla's faction).
Those guards who maintained a neutral stance did not appear to have been replaced.
"Yes, I haven't been back for a while... but only a few months."
As Yinla said this, he stepped into the capital, which was noticeably quieter than before, and headed straight for Haidilin's residence... He also wanted to see Yinsabella, but only after talking with Haidilin.

The beautiful morning light shone on Isabella as she yawned and dealt with government affairs... mainly concerning the people's livelihood after surviving the extreme cold and disaster week.
While local officials may resolve some issues on their own, Isabella is often needed to set the overall direction, and she is also required to make decisions on ambiguous matters.
This is quite demanding... because it's not a strategy game. If you make a mistake, you make a mistake, and even if your kingdom is destroyed as a result, there's no chance to reload and start over.
"Your Highness?"
Marilla walked in without knocking and greeted her like this... seemingly trying to confirm whether Isabella knew anything, but it was clear that Isabella didn't even know what had happened.
"Lord Marilla, you've finally returned... to handle state affairs for me."
As she spoke, Isabela set aside half of the remaining pile of parchment and placed it across the table... Marila also sat down and said, "Your Highness, Ira has come to the Empire."
"..."
"!"
!
At this moment, there was still one person sitting and one person standing... but it was Isabella who stood up excitedly. She was about to say something when she sat down again and said calmly, "You went to find someone else first? Gureira?"
It's very simple logic. If Yinla arrived in the Empire but didn't come to the palace to see her first, then she must have other work to do... That's just Yinla's personality.
If Yinla wants to come see me, she definitely will. On the contrary... if Yinla doesn't intend to come see me and is simply busy with work, then there's no use in Yinsabella being anxious.
She was very clear about this, and this confidence came from being familiar with Yinla.
*Shaking~*
Marilla glanced at Isabella's trembling legs and decided to remain silent. She said, "She went to find Hedilene. Hedilene Miriam Worth is one of your people, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Isabela realized who Hedyline was... She was the only one among all the governors who was neither an Ira faction nor a neutral person like Marilla, and was rumored to be an idiot.
(Heidilin: ???)
"Oh, that's alright."
As Isabella said this, she made it seem perfectly natural, easily deducing Isabella's purpose, and said, "Busy with work again, huh? I'm used to it."
How pitiful... but for some reason, there was a faint sense of resentment in her words.
"Yes, it seems to be related to a calamity, but I only know a little about it."
As Marilla spoke, she flipped through the parchment in her hand, on which she wrote down her views and the amount of funding to be allocated, and then said, "It seems that Hedyll's death trigger is related to some kind of calamity."
That's certainly a big deal, but now that Yinla is handling it, we can wait for news with peace of mind. That's the confidence Yinla brings... or something like that?
...
The parchment in my hand concerns the relocation from the coast... It outlines several difficult points, including the difficulty of completely moving magical items, the need to weigh their value, and the requirement for professionals, among other issues.
This is troublesome... The more troublesome the situation, the more Isabella misses the past, when she could ask Isabella for help with anything difficult. Now...
Marilla's political abilities are probably even weaker than Isabella's.
"Swish swish swish~"
The quill, dipped in ink, wrote a response on the parchment, and then in the next instant... Isabel's quill stopped, and she stopped shaking her leg.
Marilla Elkaras seemed to sense something as well, and looked up in the direction of Isabella.
"Minister Marilla..."
As Isabel said this, Marilla would know what she was about to say just by sticking her butt out, but she could only nod helplessly, after all, she was her own emperor.
"Shall we go find Illa?"
