Louis was not lying.

The Church of the Abyss has demonstrated through their actions time and again that they are a pile of chocolate-colored waste that is dirty even if you touch it.

But Louis couldn't quite understand how the great sin of jealousy had infiltrated the Mermaid Empire. The Mermaid Princess was undoubtedly a high-ranking figure in the Mermaid Empire. In the entire Mermaid Empire, there were very few mermaids with such power as her.

It stands to reason that the force that was able to take the Mermaid Princess away quietly and replace her with the Sin of Jealousy should also be powerful enough to assassinate the Mermaid Queen.

Brother, you are so powerful, why do you still have to engage in conspiracy? So Louis's judgment is that the problems that the Mermaid Empire has encountered this time are definitely not just the unilateral infiltration of the Abyss Church.

"These are troubled times." Louis sighed, "Even in the current situation, some people can't see the situation clearly."

Even Louis, an outsider, didn't know what to say.

Olivia leaned lazily against him and whispered, "Do you think there's a traitor in the Mermaid Empire?"

"It's not a feeling, it's a necessity."

Not to mention the believers of the Church of the Abyss who can only act in secret, even a centralized country like the Enther Empire, with a large-scale mobilization of troops internally, cannot fail to attract the attention of neighboring countries.

The main members of the Abyss Church are still the various races on the Star Continent. It will only be more difficult to take action on the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, and it is normal to pay several times or even dozens of times the price.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities to replace the mermaid princess quietly without outsiders noticing.

The first possibility is that the mermaid princess herself is a believer of the Church of the Abyss and came to the door on her own initiative.

The second possibility is that some internal forces colluded with the Church of the Abyss to kidnap the mermaid princess.

Needless to say, the latter can directly prove that there are undercurrents within the Mermaid Empire.

As for the former, it seems to have nothing to do with the internal rebellion, but it involves a question, that is, why did the mermaid princess become a believer of the Abyss Church? As for the Abyss Church, which is hated by everyone, even if the princess of a country has never been exposed to it since she was a child, she should have heard about it. If no one deliberately guided her, how could she join the Abyss Church? So no matter which angle you look at it from, it is ultimately a problem within the Mermaid Empire.

Louis gently rubbed Little Swan's wet hair and said in a cold voice:

“Their fundamental purpose in attacking the Rockhi Empire is to use our allies to carve a hole in our increasingly solid defenses.

I will never allow this to happen. If that happens, will you and Beatrice be able to sit back and wait? It would be better for me to go and fight them in advance."

The little swan looked at him blankly.

In the past, she always called him a bad guy, but when facing danger, he never hid behind.

I haven't felt this sense of security for many years.

Ever since their mother died and their father sat on the Golden Throne, she and her sister had to shoulder the responsibilities on their own.

"Louis, thank you...! Woo...!" Her words were stuck in her throat.

But this time, she did not resist at all. Instead, she was like a docile kitten, enjoying the tenderness between the two of them.

Time flies by so quickly.

Not long after the fierce battle ended, Louis set out for the Roxy Empire.

The little swan in the room was neatly dressed and lying on the bed, with a look of lingering confusion on her face.

Even after Lumi brought the toiletries, she still stayed in bed and was unwilling to get up.

Lumi could only use a hot towel to clean the lazy little swan. She said calmly, "Are you done? What's the matter that requires so much time to talk about?"

Olivia raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending to be lazy and said, "Most of them are private matters related to Sister Wang, and he is embarrassed to ask other people."

"That's good." Lumi said calmly, "As long as you are happy."

The scene fell into dead silence for a while.

Olivia opened and closed her mouth several times, but she was unable to utter a complete explanation.

Rumi cleaned her up and left the room.

The little swan hugged the pillow with his hands and feet, and felt his cheeks were so hot that he couldn't lift them up.

She knew that her problem must have been discovered, so she asked Lumi why she didn't ask herself why she did that?

But in the end, everything was hidden in the throat.

A feeling of shame and guilt filled my heart.

Outside the door, Lumi poured out the cold water and sighed in front of the sink.

What a sin! Why did it become like this?

Lord Louis, what are you thinking? Isn't it enough to have Her Majesty Beatrice? Why do you want to extend your evil hand to Your Highness?

But Lumi could see that the little baby, who had always been well protected by her family, was now much happier than before.

She really couldn't bear to break up the couple, so she could only let it go.

——I just hope that the child won’t be too sad afterwards.

As a bystander, she saw it very clearly.

Olivia had no intention of standing up and competing with Beatrice for Lord Louis.

How long can I hide in the dark like this? Forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore.

Lumi's expression became extremely serious.

Now that the unrest is spreading wider and wider, she needs to spend more time to ensure Olivia's safety.

Although most of the people who tried to attack her during this period were dealt with before they could even break through the outer defense, they were enough to attract her attention.

…

The other side.

Louis was still in a state of aftertaste until he arrived at the Roxy Empire.

Fortunately, he had a strong will and managed to suppress it.

As soon as he arrived in Locke, he received a piece of news that surprised him.

…

"What did you say? The Golden Country is taking action again?"

Louis had just arrived in Roxy, and the carriage seat beneath him had not even warmed up yet, when he heard news from the Sword Master that made his face slightly change.

The first disaster, the destruction of the Golden City, was the longest lasting of all the disasters.

Its special feature is that the Golden Country itself is a demiplane that is closely connected to the Continent of Stars.

In other words, it was once the kingdom of gods.

The God of Growth and Forests was the last god to ascend to godhood, but he still did not separate his kingdom from the Continent of Stars.

In the very distant past, when his faith was still spreading across the earth, he had a large number of elves under his command.

Of course, the elves back then were not the same as the elves today.

No one knows what happened in the Golden Country. All we know is that one day the entire Golden Country was completely isolated from the outside world.

For about 100 years, there were almost no sightings of the elves.

As time passed, the next generation of elves left the dungeon, appeared on the star continent, and began to seek the possibility of standing on the world stage.

Improving the combat power of high-level forces has become something that the elves must do.

Among them, the plan to cultivate a racial god was put on the agenda.

When everyone heard the news of the Golden Country again, the elves had already obtained some remains of the God of Growth and the Forest.

Then, the main god of the elven pantheon used the remaining power in the remains to complete the key step of ascending to godhood.

Then, the Golden City, which had been silent for many years, suddenly appeared.

But when they appeared again, the elves of the Golden Land had gone completely crazy.

They launched mad attacks on the surrounding areas, especially the elves of later generations, whom they killed without mercy.

The rumor widely circulated in the industry is that the God of Growth and Forests did not actually die completely, but the elves used some unknown method to steal everything he left behind, which in turn attracted the murderous intentions of the elves of the Golden Country.

After all, according to legend, if a god completely dies, the believers who are directly related to the god will suffer huge sequelae, and it is not impossible that they will even be driven crazy.

Nowadays, few people know about the existence of the elves of the Golden Country.

Because now they have been given other names, the most common name being "fairies", a race that is both good and evil.

They are a murderous race with extremely strong destructive power.

The monsters that can stop children from crying at night in myths and legends of various countries basically come from them.

As the elven kingdom that obtained the remains of the god of growth and forests, it was inevitable that it became the center of controversy.

In order to appease the anger of various countries and to establish a reputation for themselves on the Star Continent, the Elf Kingdom and the Golden Country launched a protracted war.

This evil fate lasted for thousands of years.

To this day, the legend of fairies is still circulating, but almost no one has seen this race anymore.

The Emperor had once told him something about the Golden Country.

Overall, all countries still recognized the efforts made by the Elf Kingdom in dealing with the Golden Country.

Even the Elf Kingdom will collapse, and it is hard to say that there is really no connection between them and the Golden Country.

But Louis did not expect that the destroyed Golden City would suddenly appear at such a delicate time.

He looked at the knife master and said, "Where did you hear about this?"

The Sword Master spread his hands and said, "You should know that we are the only human country that has completely surpassed the three elf countries."

The corners of Louis' mouth twitched slightly, and he vaguely sensed the Versailles implication.

In fact, the master of the knife is really in Versailles.

He told Louis that to this day, the Rockxi Empire still retains a considerable degree of supervision over "that country" among the three elven kingdoms.

The exit of the Golden Country is in the last elven kingdom.

"The secret guards we left there noticed that the Golden Country was moving again. The relevant astronomical magicians concluded that the Golden Country was about to launch a final counterattack."

Louis pinched his brows.

The Future Diary does not record the details of the Roxy Empire.

In other words, when dealing with such a country, even he in the IF line would not be able to get the inside story of many things.

The future diary only records that the sword master fought with a mysterious strong man for unknown reasons and unfortunately died in the end.

This move directly accelerated the collapse of the Roxy Empire.

As for the cause, process and result, few people can figure it out because the situation broke out too suddenly.

He didn't even know if the revival of the Golden City would also happen in the future diary.

"Are you planning to send troops to assist the elves?"

The sword master shook his head and said, "It's not our place to get involved in this matter. And to be honest, dealing with goblins is not our area of ​​expertise."

The knife master spoke sincerely.

Louis could understand that, too.

How could they possibly expect the Roxy Empire to help their former mortal enemy? Not spitting on their corpses was already considered merciful.

Just as the sword master was about to reminisce about the glorious past, they suddenly felt a strange shaking of the carriage.

one time.

Twice.

Three times.

…

It was as if a spring had been triggered and it swayed up and down for a while.

Then, a loud explosion was heard.

Louis' hair suddenly stood on end and he opened the car window to look in the direction of the explosion.

I saw a large dark crack appearing in the distant sky.

Louis narrowed his eyes: "Half of the plane is broken."

The master of the sword asked the coachman to stop the carriage and go out to check the situation.

But the next scene made both of them frown.

There was a deafening roar coming from the huge gap, and then a towering figure like a mountain emerged from it.

It was a strange creature that looked like a giant snake. When its huge body flew through the sky, the shadow it cast seemed to turn the surroundings into darkness in an instant.

Big, too big! The Sword Master had never seen a creature this big before.

His very existence is a symbol of destruction.

Wherever it passes, it creates typhoons, and wherever it falls on the ground, it causes mountain collapses.

Louis covered his eyes in pain.

What you fear will come true.

He had seen that thing before, but only in a dream, in the demiplane governed by the Jade Phoenix Alliance.

At that time, he went to check it out as Meyer and had seen the true form of the Earthly Python.

Although at that time He seemed to be missing some body fragments, making Him incomplete.

At that time, he already felt that this thing was too big, but now that he actually saw Him breaking the seal, he even began to think about how to escape? The knife master's expression was no worse than Louis's, and he said hoarsely:

"The Snake that orbits the universe? Hasn't it been sealed for many years? Why is it..."

Louis looked at the giant snake that stretched across the sky, frowned and said:

"The direction he flew to seems to be the Kingdom of Monet, bad...!"

He used the communication crystal directly to contact the top leaders of the East and West Monai Kingdoms.

Before he had the chance to explain the situation here to both parties, he heard a deafening explosion coming from the communication crystal.

The terrifying impact instantly caused the communication crystal on the other end to automatically hang up.

His face turned black, and he turned to the knife master and said:

"Contact our own top management first. This is really a big deal."

Problems arose with the first and second disasters one after another, and a thick haze hung over the two of them.

Louis first explained the situation to Beatrice, and after thinking for a moment, he called Little Swan: "Contact the Jade Phoenix Alliance to see what happened over there."

Little Swan also realized the seriousness of the problem, and the two of them quickly entered the demiplane through the passage exclusive to Jade Phoenix Mage.

As soon as they entered, they saw an extremely tragic scene.

Tom Caliss, the Grand Speaker of the Council of Sages, the old man who once helped Louis, released an endless magic storm, completely tearing apart the dark shadow shrouding the demiplane.

Half of his strong body was gone under his wizard robe.

The endless chains that emerged from his body pulled at a small half of the World-Shaking Snake's body and dragged it back into the seal.

A head fell from the sky to the feet of the Grand Chancellor.

The emerald fire that had not yet been extinguished reflected the mage's expression of disbelief.

He is a legendary Jade Phoenix wizard who has always kept his true identity hidden.

Louis recognized him.

Because that man is a legend in Unser.

"Silly children, run quickly, don't let Him mark you!"

Tom's roar was heard, and the two of them felt dizzy and were directly expelled from the demiplane.

In the carriage, Louis opened his eyes and looked at the back of his hand with a pale face.

There was a pattern of a green snake with its head and tail intertwined engraved on it. Although he had no contact with the giant python from the mortal world, he could smell the murderous intent of death coming from thousands of miles away.
