Ever since he and Custer last talked about research-related topics, Sully had habitually stared at the veins on the back of his hand when he was in a daze.

How to say it.

Although he knew that Custer would never do that, Suli still inexplicably had the urge to put himself on the research table to have blood drawn and biopsied.

Well... but you can draw blood, but you don't need a biopsy.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with Lord Sully's expression these past two days." Egbert looked at Sully with a heavy face as he sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the back of his hand in a daze.

"Tell me, if I go and ask Lord Sully what he is thinking now, can I get a correct answer that is not just a perfunctory one?" Eggber changed from hiding at the kitchen door and peeking around to a serious look.

"When has Sully ever been perfunctory with you?"

Lan Zhe just felt that the former Son of Light was becoming increasingly annoying, to the point where even flipping the pot while cooking had become much heavier.

"If you really want to know, go ask yourself, don't bother me here all the time."

Lan Zhe glanced at Egbert out of the corner of his eye, who had no idea that he was annoying.

"But I don't want Lord Sully to think that I always want to explore his mind."

Egbert thought that would disappoint Sully, so it was absolutely impossible.

"You want to know what he's thinking, but you don't want to ask him in person, and you don't even want him to know that you're thinking about what he's thinking..." Lan Zhe put down the pot and asked sincerely, "Are you sick?"

"If you are sick, don't come to me. I treat external injuries, not idiocy."

Egbert, who suffered from selective deafness, turned all of Lan Zhe's mumbling into thin air. He said to himself, "Lord Suli is staring at his hands. Perhaps he is paying attention to his own growth. After all, as people age, the size of their hands will gradually change."

"But I always feel that it won't be that simple..."

While Egbert was lost in thought, Lan Zhe stared at the pot in his hand. He was thinking whether Sully would be able to have a proper meal today after he put the pot on Egbert's head.

Finally, I can only regretfully conclude that if this were really done, Suli would probably have to go to the grocery store near the city gate and buy bread that was hard enough to make a bun on a person's forehead.

It’s better not to torture the child’s teeth.

Egbert did not feel the grace of the Dark Son's mercy on his life. His mind was filled with thoughts about the deeper meaning behind Sully's actions.

"I see!"

Egbert suddenly realized.

"What do you understand?" After turning off the fire on the stove, Lan Zhe stared at Egbert's performance quietly.

"Lord Suli is not looking at a hand at all. After this building and your building were connected, Euphia had someone build a window in the middle of the two buildings. Now, the light from that window can just shine directly on Lord Suli sitting on the sofa."

"So what Lord Suli saw must be the things in this city, and..."

"And what?" Lan Zhe looked at Egbert quietly as he thought.

"And whether it is necessary to make this city better."

“Hands are a very important part of a person’s body. Most actions and the way tools are used require hands. So rather than looking at the hands, it’s better to look at what’s behind them through the hands.”

Lan Zhe thought he was sick: "Have you ever thought that Suli has simply learned a new way of daydreaming?"

Egbert only said, "You don't understand Lord Sully."

"Bullshit." Lan Zhe was angry. "Believe it or not, if I ask Su Li what he is thinking now, the answer he gives will definitely be different from what you said."

Lan Zhe stared at Egbert with mocking eyes.

As expected, Egbert shook his head: "I don't believe it."

Lan Zhe took a look at the cooling food, asked Roy and Mark to put the food on the plates, and then walked towards the hall.

Then, he really asked Suli why he looked at his hands.

"You've been looking at your hands recently. Is there something wrong with you?"

Lan Zhe asked out loud.

"Nothing's wrong."

Suli shrank his hands. He would never tell Lan Zhe that he wanted to slice himself for research.

"Then are you looking at the hands because there is some other meaning behind this action?" Lan Zhe asked.

“No.”

Lan Zhe continued to ask: "Are you looking at your hands because you want to use them to see other things that are not in front of you?"

Suli was silent for a moment, then nodded.

This doesn't matter. What he is thinking about now is the scene of drawing his own blood with a syringe.

Lan Zhe gritted his teeth and took a look at Egbert, whose nonexistent tail was spinning and jumping behind him. His face darkened and he asked again, "Then, is the thing you saw related to heaviness?"

Suli fell into deep thought.

He didn't know how to answer this question. If he said it wasn't heavy, he would have planned to slice himself up for research. No matter how he thought about it, it wasn't normal. If it wasn't normal, it would feel a bit heavy. As for whether it was really heavy...

That’s not the case.

He wanted to slice himself up for research simply to speed up the research of alchemy tools containing forbidden elements.

Also, Suli is curious about his own uniqueness compared to the common sense of this world.

To be honest, when Euphia was chasing Egbert, she just snapped her fingers and balls of fire appeared behind her, which looked like shooting stars at first glance.

It's just cool.

Thinking of this, Suli specifically emphasized his tone and said: "It may be a little heavy for others, but it is not heavy for me."

——Not a ghost.

Lan Zhe had now ignored the confident look on Egbert's face.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lan Zhe now really felt that Egbert's guess might be right.

However, when he looked at Sully, who was sitting on the sofa with a calm expression without any obvious heaviness or discomfort, his irritable mood suddenly calmed down.

He was like a well-read and successful person who suddenly understood reality.

Young people who understand that reason is supreme often do not regard things that may cause harm to them as harm.

Thinking of this, the Dark Son gave up asking Suli various questions and turned to a new topic.

"What are you planning to do soon?"

Lan Zhe placed some heavy things directly on the table.

"The existence of higher-level monsters and related monster civilizations will sooner or later have to be told to other residents of the city. No matter how everyone views this fact, it will eventually happen."

"Secondly, have you ever thought about getting Sadina free of Amicbee's ideas? Rebuilding a national system? I'm sure you've thought about this. The fact that you didn't mention it proactively, like the fact that you didn't tell the public for the time being, is probably because you took their feelings into consideration."

"You have too many concerns. It's not like you who dared to bring a few people, make a decision, and run directly to another completely unfamiliar city."

As he spoke, Lan Zhe revealed a thoughtful expression.

Suli looked at Lan Zhe steadily, blinking uncontrollably again and again.

It sounds like this, no matter from which angle you look at it, has nothing to do with him staring at his hands in a daze, right?

The other thing is...

"What else did you think of?"

Suli just wanted to see what other outrageous ideas the Dark Son could come up with.

When Lan Zhe heard this, he thought that Suli must have agreed with what he had just said.

He replied, "Apart from these, there are only the multi-person element transfer and condensation experiments, as well as the destruction plan of the Church of Light, the transformation of the Church of Darkness, the instigation of internal strife in the Amicbee royal family, the dragging of those nobles, the attack on the emerging development forces in other cities, and finally, the unification of them with an absolutely strong attitude, and the exploration of the monster civilization with the power of the country."

Lan Zhe thought for a moment and added, "That's about it."

"Roughly?" Suli was confused.

Lan Zhe said as a matter of course: "That's right."

Suli: ………………………………

"No matter how you look at it, this is not a rough estimate."

This is a lot of information. I thought Lan Zhe, who was cooking in the kitchen just now, could pick up a knife and go to the battlefield in the next second, kill the king directly, and go to war with the Holy See of Light. After that, he would build a new force and become king himself.

At once……

There is a hint of normality in the absurdity.

Perhaps it was because the people of the Dark Church had indeed left Sully with the deep impression that abnormality was normal.

Lan Zhe: "In fact, I did think about providing a brief report or something. But when I think about it carefully, I feel that you probably have an idea in your mind, so this is just a rough outline. After all, if it were you, I think you would have thought about the later part, how humans should resist when facing higher-level monsters."

Sully choked.

He tried to retort: ​​"I'm not, I don't."

But a new problem from Lan Zhe strangled Suli's life.

"Then tell me that you have not made any preparations to resist higher-level monsters."

Sully...Sully couldn't refute it.

After all, he wanted to turn his idea of ​​slicing himself into a reality because high-level monsters were too lethal, and if he didn't have the power to counter them, he could only rely on cheating.

That day, until Suli fell asleep, he still hadn't figured out how his staring at his hands in a daze was connected to everything Lan Zhe said.

It wasn't until a few days later that Suli suddenly discovered that "No One Knows Master Suli Better Than Me" became popular in Sadina City.

And it went from one book to two.

Simply put, there is an additional "No One Understands Mr. Sully Better Than Me 2.0". Different from the various reading comprehension in version 1.0, 2.0 describes more about the profound meanings represented by some of Sully's behaviors.

I am a little confused about this.

"I still don't understand how Mr. Egbert's 1.0 suddenly gave rise to a 2.0 with a more in-depth behavioral solution."

"Look at the Hand" is not about the hand at all, but the future that is destined to be controlled by humans.

Obviously, all the reading comprehension in 1.0 is still understandable.

But 2.0...

What a weird thing. Looking at the hands means holding the future of mankind in the palm of your hand. Then, looking at the feet means putting the world under your feet?

"Maybe it's because there have been so many changes recently." Cyril thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"So is Mr. Egbert's answer what Sully really thinks?"

"I think maybe..." Cyril wanted to say no, until he saw Hu pick up the pen to take notes.

He coughed and said, "Maybe."

…

Even though everyone in the building was somewhat confused about the significance of the birth of 2.0, they were still very honest and all took a copy of 2.0 from Egbert.

"It's not that I think Egbert's guesses are all correct, but I think that reading other people's interpretations can extend the scope of thinking." Roy tried to save face.

At the front desk of the Mercenary Alliance, Euphia looked at him with disdain, then said to a person who was issuing daily tasks, "This is your task ticket. It is expected that the Alliance will send a mercenary to take over the task to your side within half a day. Please take it."

After seeing the employer leave, Euphia finally got rid of her gentle and charming state at work. Her tone was somewhat lazily mixed with her words. She said: "Think about the various things in version 1.0, and the facts that we didn't believe at first, but were proven by countless facts."

"Egbert may be mentally ill, but even I cannot deny that his one-sided interpretation of Sully in version 1.0 was ultimately proven to be correct. As for 2.0, whether you believe it or not, there is no need to act like you are not trusting that idiot Egbert even if he is smart."

“Don’t question his expertise.”

Euphia dislikes Egbert's excessive dependence on Sully, but she always recognizes Egbert's strength.

No matter he was once the guardian of Sriqing City, or he is now the number one mad dog under Suli.

In short, Egbert lived up to his name.

This is called professionalism.

Roy stared at Yufia in amazement.

"I don't think I said anything that contradicted you, did I?"

After hearing this, Euphia coughed suddenly.

After a while, she patted her cheeks gently and said, "It's my fault that Egbert has been instilling in my mind that Lord Sully is the best in the world."

“But ‘Hand Reading’ is indeed something with deep meaning.”

"Egbert's answer, that the purpose of looking at one's hands is to take control of the world, does make some sense."

Roy fell into deep thought.

"You're right. The young master didn't try to hide his behavior from the beginning. If it was really normal, he wouldn't have kept looking at his hands for several days."

Roy shook the book in his hand. Compared with the 1.0, the 2.0 is much thicker. Then he said, "It always feels like a very challenging task to take the world into your hands."

"After all, we already know the existence of another world." Euphia's tone became heavy for a moment.

"So you also think that the young master is destined to participate in that world?"

Euphia looked solemn. She lowered her voice but said seriously, "That's what I think."

"If this reading from Egbert really means that Sully wants to intervene in another area where none of us have any influence, then things will be much more troublesome."

A world of monsters where even the weakest one has the power of a crow.

What exactly exists there?

Until you see it with your own eyes, all your thoughts are just groundless speculation.

But there is one thing you can tell even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes.

That is, it must be a brutal place.

The law of the jungle is still the lowest standard.

"That world..." Roy looked at his palm. "I originally thought that even if a mutant ice elementalist like me didn't get promoted to a three-star mercenary directly, no one would dare to look down on me, a two-star mercenary with a monthly salary of ten gold coins."

"No one really underestimates you." There was a consistent silence in Euphia's eyes.

"But not human..."

Roy added to what Euphia hadn't finished saying: "The monster doesn't care whether I'm a two-star mercenary or a three-star mercenary. The monster also doesn't care how important the young master is to me."

"They only care whether the young master who will get involved in their field sooner or later is disrespectful to them."

"Don't you know this very well?" Euphia raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, it's because of the other world..."

Before Roy could finish, the voice of Euphia's father rang out from far away.

"Are you talking about another world?" asked the president of the alliance.

"Ah, yes." Euphia responded, nodded, and called out, "Father."

"Another world, which is the place related to the monster civilization that Suli mentioned before."

"Do you have any other ideas about this?"

The president of the alliance said with a smile: "I only heard one key word, instead of being rude enough to listen in on the whole thing."

"What did you just say? If you don't mind, I hope you two can say it again in front of me, your old man."

Roy was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative to hand over the copy of "No One Knows Mr. Surry Better Than Me 2" in his hand.

Then he said, "It was written by Egbert's gang, an interpretation of the young master."

"It talks about the special meaning behind the young master's action. In addition, Egbert also specifically proves from various angles in the book that his speculation is correct."

The alliance president paused.

Is it because he can't keep up with the thinking of young people?

Otherwise, why would someone write a book directly because of another person's action...

However, the book had already been delivered.

The alliance president could only take it and look down.

There were no patterns added to the book cover, it was just pure white. In addition to the words "No One Understands Lord Sury Better Than Me 2" printed on the cover, when the Alliance President touched it, he could also feel a slightly raised crane pattern.

This is not a very thick book.

The reason why it looks much more substantial than 1.0 is that Egbert added a lot of Cyril's illustrations inside.

Most of the pictures show Sully's back and movements, without any frontal facial features.

Also, Cyril's paintings are not realistic. Just by looking at the backs and some movements of the people in the paintings, readers cannot judge Sully's actual age. Therefore, these pictures, to those who don't know Sully, are just some illustrations without any special meaning, or they are purely born out of fantasy.

As for the content...

It's really just a one-sided interpretation.

This is not something obscure and difficult to understand. The beautiful illustrations, in a way, also alleviate the uncontrollable urge to kill the creator when readers watch 2.0.

Over-interpretation can sometimes be really poisonous.

But... let's take control of the world...

The president of the alliance sighed: "Rather than letting the world take control of oneself, it is better to say that one wants the world to develop in the beautiful way one imagines."

"You're right." Roy nodded, "The young master has no desire for money or power."

But everyone knows that the probability of all the beautiful things imagined by an individual being recognized and realized in the group is pitifully low.

Especially in the eyes of people who don’t know the truth.

Those who know will be impressed by how much Sully has endured, while those who don't will only curse after seeing 2.0: "Is this bard named Ai sick to make such a deep interpretation of another person's ordinary actions, and even write a book about it?"

"If you ask me, there are so many interpretations of hands, then when I go to the toilet, doesn't it mean that I let go of all the heaviness in my body?"

Euphia looked at the employers who were trying to give them tasks, her eyes as cold as if she was looking at a corpse.

Roy also wanted to take action, but after seeing Yufia's eyes, he suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

When he raised his head again, there was no unnecessary expression on Roy's face.

He only told Euphia: "Instead of caring about such an insignificant person, it is better to think about the fact that such a person is not even qualified to see the young master."

"Besides, I think what Lan Zhe said makes sense."

"What we need to do sooner or later is to think about what more people who want to know the truth think, rather than worrying about the feelings of some people."

Euphia's fingers twitched slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said meaningfully: "So you plan to skip Suli and release some information directly?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but without Suli's initiative, we wouldn't have been able to accurately organize the information that proves the facts, as well as the corresponding books and documents."

"Do you still care about those?" Roy raised his eyebrows.

"Sardina is ultimately just a city."

Some news cannot be released in Licheng, because after all, that city is also the capital. Once the news of that land appears, it will spread throughout the country in the blink of an eye, causing a sensation.

But if it is simply a trial in Sadina, then for those who are already familiar with the truth of the matter, even if there is some turmoil, it will not put pressure on the existing system.

Moreover, if this is done successfully, it will have positive results in many directions.

Don't underestimate the resilience of the human spirit.

The race that is most prone to infighting when there is no external pressure is, conversely, also the most likely to stick together and become a tangled rope when faced with external pressure.

Just when the two young people began to make their next plan, the president of the alliance standing next to them stopped them from doing whatever they wanted.

"Some things bypassing Suli are good from our perspective, but that may not be the case for Suli." The alliance president shook his head slightly.

"Instead of hiding it from Sully, it's better to think about how to organize the language, lay it out and talk to him."

"Or do you think that the child would deliberately prevent you from doing something you really want to do?"

The two of them might not agree with the previous words, but the last sentence made them stunned.

When the president of the Mercenary Union disappeared in the Union Hall, Euphia suddenly reacted.

She immediately walked out of the front desk work area and said to Roy: "I suddenly had an idea."

"What a coincidence, me too." Roy straightened his collar and walked straight out of the busy hall.

However, when the two of them walked out of the door of the alliance hall together, the look they gave each other was filled with lightning and thunder.

Sully's side.

The person's peaceful school routine did not last for more than a few days.

Didn’t someone say before: “No One Understands Mr. Surry Better Than Me 2”, the content in it has benefited me a lot.

Later, Egbert said sincerely: "Finally, I can peek into the mountains and forests in the adults' inner world."

From time to time, Lan Zhe would take the initiative to inform Licheng of the intelligence, saying, "The Dark Church has temporarily brought it to the surface."

"As for transformation, I personally prefer to divide the people of the Dark Church openly, like streams flowing into rivers and seas, and then gather them again in private to build your own personal power. After all, the Prince Ophelia in the inner city still has some personal value. Before you can completely convince the other party, you must have the corresponding strength to make them surrender."

"The power of force is also a kind of strength, isn't it?"

Suli: ???

What and what is all this?

Suliman's mind is confused.

How many times can social death happen to you because of the same thing?

And the future development plan of the Dark Church...what does this have to do with him, an ordinary student who goes to school honestly.

The most outrageous thing is that Euphia and Roy dragged the leader of the Lions Club into it, saying that they planned to let ordinary residents of Sadina City understand the reality of the world in advance.

Sully is confused.

"The world is always real. Only those who are caught up in their own self-consciousness doubt its falsehood."

Sully had traveled through time for so long and had experienced all kinds of chaos, but he never expected that things would get even more chaotic when everyone around him started to take action.

For example, Julius took Diz back to the Holy See of Light.

Mavis told Sully, "I personally tend to think that Julius wants the Church of Light to cease to exist. Or that he intends to transform it into a place of sentiment rather than a real object of faith."

No one can be sure what "God" is.

"What about you?" Sully asked Mavis who was carrying a bag.

The Dark Saint said, "I am different from Lan Zhe who has a very high degree of freedom."

"He can stay at your house and be a househusband for the rest of his life. But as an adult who needs to work, I have been urged to work by my boss more than once."

The Dark Pope might agree with Lan Zhe's idea of ​​splitting and transforming, but in the short term, he absolutely could not accept that his Dark Son and Dark Lady all ran to the Sully family.

Suli hesitated to speak.

What's going on?

Why do I suddenly feel like I have seen a social animal from another world...

It even created a subtle resonance.

…

While Sully was confused by the people around him, Ophelia, who was far away in the city, was truly confused.

She discovered the truth.

This truth instantly stopped her desire to kill the king.

And this truth also made Ophelia fall into a state of helplessness.

"How is that possible?" she asked loudly.

"There is no possibility or impossibility; this is the fact." The person who answered was the Chief Justice, who stood in the palace in front of the King's throne, with his brows lowered and his waist slightly bent. At first glance, he looked like the purest and most innocent minister.

Previously, the Grand Inquisitor and the Pope of the Dark Church completed the cooperation, making those nobles who were like wild wolves finally become obedient dogs. Then they planned to make public the truth of the matter that Sully had hinted at more than once.

Exposing the truth about monster civilization to the world is likely to arouse hatred, and as a judicial officer, the Chief Justice does not want to do this when it has already aroused enough hatred.

So he chose to report the matter to the king.

It just happened.

When Ophelia came to see the king, she happened to hear such a conversation.

Unlike Willard, who chose to send a letter after hearing her conversation with the king, Ophelia entered the conversation center on the spot.

As soon as the Chief Justice saw her devastated expression, he knew that Ophelia had probably heard the whole thing.

He didn't really care about Ophelia knowing the truth of the matter. All he cared about was to make it known to the world and not let himself do it.

Therefore, as a subject, when facing His Royal Highness the Prince, choosing to reply becomes the most normal behavior.

Ophelia didn't believe it. "If there really are monsters that are so powerful that they don't take humans seriously, how could they just watch the low-level monsters in the Monster Forest area being killed by humans and turned into alchemy tools and various elemental cultivation resources?"

A smile flashed across the Chief Justice's lips, but in the blink of an eye, his face turned back into the stern look of an old man.

However, he still explained to the innocent prince: "When have you ever seen level 8 and 9 monsters, which already have obvious intelligence, regard those low-level monsters as their companions?"

"I originally thought that the largest monster invasion in recent years in Sri Qing City would allow Your Highness to gain some experience. Now it seems that I thought too much."

At that time, Naan drove many monsters to invade Sriqing City. In addition to causing heavy casualties to humans, an unknown number of monsters also died.

From a human perspective, regardless of whether the truth of the matter was that Nanan was seeking revenge, when she chose to drive the low-level monsters to act together, it already meant that the high-level monsters did not take the low-level monsters seriously.

What's more, he is a member of the monster civilization system, and his strength is at least at the level of a ninth-level monster.

The Chief Justice's series of weird remarks made Ophelia so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing.

But she couldn't find the words to refute it.

The previous doubts were nothing more than blurt-out remarks due to being too shocked.

With just a slight reappearance of her rationality, Ophelia could see the truth clearly.

She didn't want to get entangled with the Chief Justice who was determined to pass the blame on to others, nor did she intend to take the blame herself. After saying goodbye to the king, Ophelia went straight back to her palace.

After regaining her senses, she began to think about the current situation.

First of all, without the military power, she could only get the support of the king to sit on the throne. But after discovering that it was the king who poisoned her, Ophelia no longer believed that she could sit on the throne with the support of the king.

Up to now, His Royal Highness has no idea that it was the silent Willard who poisoned him.

Her focus is entirely on what she has.

I want rights, but I have none. I want my parents, but my mother and father are both dead.

My only younger brother, apart from the blood relationship, even his soul is no longer the same person as before.

And then there is…

The soldiers surrounding the city of Sardina had already withdrawn early.

At present, part of the military power is in the hands of the king and part of it is in the hands of the chief justice.

Ophelia had nothing and held nothing.

Especially in this situation where I almost have nothing, I suddenly learned another truth about the world.

Once Ophelia thought about who had uncovered the truth of this matter, she couldn't help but pin it on Sully.

His Royal Highness is very confused now.

She wasn't sure whether she still needed to fight for the throne.

Suddenly, I no longer understand what the point of all my efforts for so long is.

But there was still an unknown voice deep in my heart shouting. It was not that I didn't understand the meaning of what I was doing, but I suddenly realized that no matter how hard I tried, it would be meaningless.

If there is a possibility that this information could be false, as it was presented in person by the Chief Justice to the King and clearly showed the intention of shirking responsibility...then Ophelia would dare to say that her purpose in going to the King just now was not to assassinate him, but to celebrate his birthday in the new year.

The information is true, but how do those who have noticed this information view this matter?

This is the only answer Ophelia wants to know now.

As for those who want to sit on the throne, they have been kicked into a corner for the time being.

There are some who can overthrow human rule at any time, and even trample on the existence of human civilization. No matter how much Ophelia wants to sit on the throne and have power over thousands of people, she can't help but think...

Is that still the rights and freedom she wants?

Not at all.

It does not represent authority and absolute status, so what is the difference between it and her current status as a prince?

That's why she wanted to know what Suli, who discovered the monster civilization, thought of this fact.

Ophelia plans to go to Sardina.

In addition to wanting to get an answer from Sully, which he would not be able to rest in peace if he didn't get, he also wanted to struggle and continue to survive.

The Dark Church has already been exposed, so it shouldn't be difficult for His Royal Highness Prince Amicbee to ask the Son of Darkness to detoxify him.

Killing two birds with one stone, a second visit to Sardina has become a must for Ophelia.

In a blink of an eye, Ophelia, who had hurriedly left at that time, asked for leave from the king, saying that she wanted to go to the city of mercenaries.

The reason given was that they wanted to capture Xia Zuo, who had mixed up the royal bloodline.

When the king heard the word "cuckold", his breathing became rapid, toxins surged in his blood, and his emotions fluctuated violently, he vomited a large amount of blood and fell into a coma.

Ophelia stood there in a daze for a moment, and then she was desperately calling for the court doctor to come and treat her. Her performance was so heartfelt.

It was not until the king woke up again that Ophelia first said that she should not talk about topics related to Xia Zuo, and then gave a new reason.

The reason this time is to deal with the aftermath of the Mercenary City being surrounded by the army.

After all, the mercenary city's employment mechanism is a force that cannot be ignored for this country as long as it does not regress to the slave age.

If the Mercenary City restricts mercenaries from accepting mercenary missions from the inner city, then many economic missions leading to various cities will suffer a major blow.

Therefore, the main purpose of Ophelia's trip this time was to negotiate peace.

This is a good reason. At least the king is not vomiting blood.

When Ophelia left, not only was she not stopped, she was even assigned two more members of the Ten.

Later, on the way to Sardina, Ophelia suddenly realized that the person who poisoned her could not have been the king.

If it was the king who poisoned her and wanted her dead, then it was impossible for the king to be so angry that he vomited blood just because of the name Xia Zuo.

——After all, it was she who truly confused the royal bloodline.

In other words, the person who poisoned him was someone else.

Ophelia also considered whether she should terminate her trip to Sadina City...but in the end, she chose to continue the journey.

She won't die in the short term, so her eagerness to get to the bottom of the matter will outweigh the threat of chronic poisons.

Ophelia's carriage finally stopped in front of the gate of Sardina City.

The Mercenary City was real during this period
