Within the body, qi and blood circulate like a raging dragon emerging from the earth, and the boundless demonic flames burn away the shackles, forcibly breaking free from confinement.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The female knight, clad in light armor, blinked her innocent eyes as she looked at the novice demon king.
Ink-black hair is tied into a chic single ponytail, cascading down. Beneath long eyelashes, her heterochromatic eyes, a blend of silver-blue and vibrant red, are like an endless whirlpool in the deep sea, drawing you in with just one glance.
The form-fitting knight's armor perfectly accentuated her sexy, tall figure.
"Ofina?"
Xiao Han stared at the other person in shock. In his demonic eyes, the other person's interface appeared, which showed that it was the real her, not some illusion.
Since their parting at Kosenburg, he had traveled tens of thousands of kilometers via teleportation array with a seagull and a necromancer to reach Titan City, and it had been almost half a year since they last met.
As Xiao Han encountered many major events along the way, he gradually realized that Ophina's identity was not just that of a demon princess.
Many things happened in the past six months. The most dangerous thing was that the Gluttony God's century-long plan was launched in Titan City. The golden sword that secured the victory destroyed the Gluttony God's plan and allowed the novice demon king to make a comeback.
Among them, Minise is also a pawn of the evil god to some extent, possessing the Gluttony bloodline and pledging allegiance to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, your loyal knight is here, swearing to serve you."
Ofina nodded, bowed respectfully to Xiao Han, and explained, "After completing the task with my family, I came here to assist Your Highness in resolving some troubles."
"How about assassinating the extraordinary individuals from the three great duchies?"
Xiao Han's eyes lit up, and he bluntly asked a tricky question.
"Your Highness, I am sorry for this."
Meeting Xiao Han's ill-intentioned gaze toward the Duchy, Ofina pursed her lips: "If I were to assassinate the extraordinary individuals guarding the Duchy, I would have to use all my strength. However, if the demonic aura were exposed, not only would the North be in turmoil, but it would also affect the Central Plains, prompting powerful forces to besiege us."
At the same time, she raised her head and looked up at the gradually darkening sky: "Moreover, if there are no defenses, the watchtower built by the Goddess of Night will inevitably expose Your Highness's identity. At that time, hundreds of extraordinary beings will be mobilized, and we will be forced to retreat."
"Then you can try killing your opponent without a direct confrontation."
Xiao Han had a sudden inspiration and a wicked idea popped into his head: "For example, poisoning the food, or setting a trap to shield ourselves from the gods' watchful eyes, and then assassinating someone. If the first strike fails, we can flee thousands of miles away, killing as many as we can, and then frame a neighboring country for it. I know they don't get along."
Then, Xiao Han added, "If you throw a bucket of it over to Constantinople too, they won't mind. They'll even thank your mom for making sure the price of groceries goes up."
Ofina: "..."
"Your Highness, I am a knight, and I would never resort to such despicable means."
Under Xiao Han's rather shocked gaze, Oufina blinked her adorable heterochromatic eyes, exuding a cold and captivating beauty.
Indeed, although Ofina is a princess of the fallen angel race of demons, she joined forces with the Chimera and dared to directly storm Cosenberg to rescue the novice demon king, rather than launching a surprise attack.
However, it wasn't a mindless charge; rather, the route was carefully planned, and with the Empire secretly releasing water from the ocean, the novice demon king was able to escape successfully.
Xiao Han glanced at Ofina's cold and beautiful face, and his lips twitched.
It's a pity about this aloof persona.
"Your Highness, without the deterrent power of the Duchy's extraordinary individuals, dangerous places everywhere will surely descend into chaos."
Ofina shook her head, once again rejecting the little fox's suggestion to "steal from the national treasury." At the same time, she also revealed the secrets of the North.
The Northlands are vast, spanning tens of millions of kilometers. They were once the homeland of dwarves and giants, making it difficult for humans to survive. Coupled with the perilous terrain, the cataclysmic events that swept through Middle-earth, and the limited variety of resources in the Northlands, it became a paradise for dwarves and giants to thrive, together creating a highly prosperous civilization.
One of them was skilled in mining, smelting, and forging, and built massive war fortresses, underground cities, sky cities, and city-breaking crossbows, almost mastering the technology of another technological direction: warships and cannons.
One is immense and inexhaustible, skilled at cultivating mineral resources, and integrates its own attribute power into the mineral veins. Equipment crafted from this is imbued with the power of giants and is known among professionals as "The Call of the Giants".
However, because the Norse gods were vying for the throne of the king of the gods, and in order to drive out the gods of the North, the technological blockade of the North, which Middle-earth has maintained to this day, was implemented at that time.
Such a prosperous civilization is no less than that of the Middle-earth, and in some areas it is even slightly inferior to the Middle-earth.
But three thousand years ago, at the same time the giant god fell, an ice bridge traversed the Sea of Death, stretching from the Land of Dawn all the way to the North, causing icebergs to emerge and ice veins to crisscross, eventually forming the far north, which swallowed up millions of kilometers in one fell swoop, wiping out all living things with overwhelming force, leaving them powerless to resist.
Even the dwarves and giants who survived by sheer luck were captured by those who had long coveted Middle-earth, enslaved, and had their preserved civilization integrated into Middle-earth. This allowed the latter to establish themselves in the coming of the Great Age and drive out the forces of Valhalla.
Three thousand years later, the human race, who had been exiled from the Central Plains, moved here and, under the orders of the Central Plains, began to mine resources and cultivate the land.
In reality, they were searching for the ruins of the civilization of dwarves and giants.
Furthermore, the birth of the far north shrank their living space, and with the successive births of the four Heavenly Kings who wreaked havoc in Northern Europe, the monsters that bred in the dangerous lands moved south, and there were several instances of them attacking the borders of the Central Plains.
