"I have a feeling that Roxy will be the one to bear the brunt of the impact, otherwise His Majesty would not have allowed me to come and help."

Louis frowned and said:

"The situation in the Rockhi Empire is more troublesome than we thought. There are too many forces targeting them. Judging from the current situation, the Abyss Church doesn't seem that troublesome."

Beatrice thought for a moment and said, "The problem of the Cosmic Serpent must be solved, and the great sin of jealousy must also be dealt with. Even if we take into account the matter of the Golden City, if the five nations work together, we still have a chance to deal with the difficulties."

But Louis shook his head and said:

"The situation at the Jade Phoenix Alliance is more serious than we thought. This time, the number of Jade Phoenix mages lost is too great. It's not just a matter of one or two. Our core forces at the Jade Phoenix Alliance have been almost wiped out.

The members of the Jade Phoenix Alliance who were maintaining the scene have been completely wiped out, and now the Sage Council is in chaos. The sacrifice of the Grand Speaker has had a very bad impact. "

Upon hearing this, Beatrice's face became a little more serious. "The Jade Phoenix Mages stationed in the demiplane are the elite among the elite, and they also have means of resurrection such as the Jade Sacrifice. I didn't expect that there would be such heavy casualties."

The person in charge of investigating this matter is Little Swan.

She applied for it on her own initiative.

Now the Jade Phoenix Alliance has completely cut off contact with the outside world.

If you want to know the specific situation, you can only go to the demiplane to investigate through the remaining Jade Phoenix Wizards and the contact of the covenant.

Beatrice knew that her sister had taken time out to go to the demiplane to check out the situation.

But the details will have to wait until she finishes her investigation to find out.

But one thing is certain: the Jade Phoenix Alliance is now in name only.

If we exclude Louis and Little Swan who have turned on cheats, the Jade Phoenix Mages stationed in the demiplane can be said to occupy 95% of the power of the entire Jade Phoenix Alliance.

However, due to unknown reasons, the seal of the cosmic snake was broken, and the entire demiplane was likely to be blown up.

Two legendary Jade Phoenix wizards under the Enther Empire died of exhaustion in the process of stopping the Universe Serpent.

The physical body of Tom, the Grand Speaker of the Council of Sages, evaporated, and now only his soul remains alone in the demiplane, sealing off half of the snake body.

From what Little Swan said, after he re-sealed half of the snake body, his soul would probably be reduced to ashes.

What force was behind the attack? Which powerful people were behind the attack? Why did they attack? They had no idea.

After the little swan went there, he was not able to speak to the Speaker.

They are trying their best to seal off the remaining half of the snake's body.

It can be said that now Louis and Little Swan can represent most of the combat power of the Jade Phoenix Alliance.

Over the years, the Jade Phoenix Alliance has never declined to this extent.

But the situation now is that even the underwear is about to be taken away.

"It's time to restart the Human Covenant." Beatrice looked at the image of her beloved on the communication crystal and said solemnly: "We, Roxy, Tunisia and East/West Monai, all need to sit down at the negotiation table and have a good talk."

The situation was already serious, but before that it was still within Beatrice's tolerance range.

But the information sent by Little Swan revealed a terrible fact.

That means the enemy is within and in a high position.

No kidding.

The location of the Jade Phoenix Alliance had always been a secret, and no one knew better than her, the emperor, how strictly the Jade Phoenix wizards had supervised the seal of the Universe Serpent over the years.

Even among the Jade Phoenix mages, most of them are Enser people.

I have never heard of the seal being loosened before. The sudden release of the snake that orbits the universe was too sudden and the timing was too coincidental.

Beatrice was basically certain that someone had followed the clues and directly found the Jade Phoenix Alliance's lair.

And judging from the proportion of Master Yufeng, Ense is still the most suspicious one.

After all, half of the Jade Phoenix Alliance are Enser people.

The problem is that Beatrice can't be sure whether it was done by an insider.

Anyone who knows some of the secrets of the Jade Phoenix Alliance must not be those little Karamis in the alliance.

There was no way they could find out where the headquarters was.

But as for Enther and the Council of Sages, it’s hard to say.

There must be some people who are not Jade Phoenix Mage cooperating with this . Let’s not talk about how much harm the Cosmic Encircling Snake will bring to the Star Continent in the future.

But just this one breaking of the seal meant that Enser, who didn't pay as much attention to magic as Tunisia, lost too much high-level magical power. It can be said that it was a huge loss.

"I hope my sister can find some clues."

Beatrice ended their conversation with these words.

…

After hanging up the communication crystal, Louis did not speak, but just sat there quietly and took out the Greedy Diary.

"How long will it be before you update again?"

Louis showed a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

It is not an easy task to confront the darkness lurking in the shadows.

We must be highly alert and be on guard against their surprise attacks at all times.

We must keep thinking about who will be affected by him.

You are also prone to worrying about whether the choices you make are correct, and whether a certain action might go wrong and cause others to suffer unbearable losses.

He still remembered that morning many years ago when he had just woken up from bed and all he wanted was to avoid being pushed to the guillotine.

The remaining pain in his neck seemed not to have dissipated yet, and at that time he only wanted to pursue personal happiness.

Even the definition of happiness is simply being alive.

But when did it start to change?

Ah! Was it the moment when Beatrice held out her hand to him?

He changed from "saving Beatrice and thus saving his own life" to "having already protected his own life, it is time to protect Beatrice."

Slowly, he began to take on responsibilities that he would never have thought of taking on before.

Responsible for the fate of 100 people.

Responsible for the future of 1,000 people.

He has been in charge of the development direction of hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

As he has come to this day, he can no longer accept that he has made the wrong choice.

He was like walking on a tightrope, afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would drag countless people into the abyss.

If he fell down, it didn't matter. He felt that he still had a chance of climbing out from the bottom.

But what if it was a large group of people who fell, even people who were extremely important to him?

After they fell, would they still have a chance to climb up? He shook his head and suppressed such thoughts in his heart.

At this moment, there was a slight knock at the door.

He pushed the door open and saw Alice standing at the door holding a bottle of wine, grinning:

"Hey, why do you look so listless? Come on!"

She slapped Louis on the shoulder.

Louis did not feel any pain. Instead, he said with a grin, "Why are you here so late at night instead of drinking in the pub?"

"Get out of the way and give me a sofa to rest."

"Get lost, and don't let my living room smell of alcohol."

"Tsk, how boring." Alice shook the bottle and said, "Are you sure you don't want to let me in? I have some information that you care about."

"Please come in, girl." Louis immediately changed his expression to a fawning one.

Alice tutted her words in amazement but walked into the room anyway.

"The Abyss Church has been too busy to cause trouble recently, but it won't last long. The Blazing Sun Knights can't hunt them down on the front line." She took a sip of wine and said slowly, "I'm quite curious, what did you do to deserve his attention?"

Louis shook his head.

The Knight of the Blazing Sun only told him that the Star Continent needed a Great Sin to stand on their side.

But he didn't tell Louis the details.

The old Riddler, he really wanted to kick this guy out of Gotham City.

Why emphasize mortal sin if one simply hopes to gain his help?

If they only needed a sin owner who was not affected by the sin, then why not the Emperor, the Pope of Glory and Justice? After all, to be honest, he was not that noble, and he didn't care much about the emotions of people other than those he cared about.

There are many people who are more suitable than you.

Because he has basically no feelings for the Star Continent.

But the little swan grew up on this land.

The reason he helped was just to help Beatrice and the others.

It was just that in the process of helping them, he happened to stabilize the overall situation of the empire and even the world.

So Louis really didn't understand the hidden meaning of the Sun Knight's words.

"Is he still hunting down the Abyss Church?" Louis asked curiously . He was referring to the Blazing Sun Knight Aaron.

Alice nodded.

Louis added: "But this news is not that important to me."

The implication is that if there is more important information, please speak up as soon as possible.

"Three pieces of news, two good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Let me tell you the good news first." Louis said without hesitation.

Alice's lips curled up slightly and said, "We found the tiger's fang."

Tiger fangs naturally do not refer to tiger teeth, but to the tiger fangs, one of the nine ancient swords.

This made Louis raise his eyebrows instinctively: "Is this canine tooth of yours the one I know?"

"certainly."

"Where?"

Alice knocked on the table, and a tiger-tooth knife suddenly sank into the table, piercing through the entire table.

Louis picked up the tiger tooth knife, looked at it carefully, was silent for a moment and said, "How much? I'll pay you."

"There's no need to talk about money. Just make my exclusive weapon as soon as possible."

"Okay, what about the second good news?"

"You're in luck. Let your Cursed Legion begin preparations. We've detected traces of remaining demonic activity in the Falling Star Sea. The Tiger Fang was obtained by my brother when he was hunting them down.

The group of demons hid in an abandoned demiplane, hoping to avoid the raid before escaping."

Louis frowned and said, "The demiplane is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we really fight, we may not have the upper hand."

Alice drank half the bottle of wine in one gulp, licked her rosy lips and said, "That's inevitable. These demons are more cunning than you think. My brothers and I have fought with them many times. It's not that easy to eliminate them."

Louis nodded and said, "But if we know where they come in and out, then at least we have a chance to kill them."

Alice blinked and said, "You can still call for help, right? That demiplane is within the territory of the Roxy Empire, so I said it was good news.

But you should go and talk to my brother directly about the specific situation over there."

"Your brother? How do I know which one? You have quite a few brothers!" Louis said seriously, "Which one of them has a personality more like yours?"

But Alice sneered and said, "Don't play dumb. I don't believe you don't know their specific situation."

"It has nothing to do with knowing or not." Louis raised his head and smiled, "I just feel like you seem to be hiding something."

Alice sighed and said, "I really managed to hide it from you. It seems that the demiplane has not been developed yet. There are many good things in it."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Actually, if you think you have the ability, I hope we can keep it all for ourselves."

"But your brother's adventure team doesn't have enough manpower, and even with my Cursed Legion added it's still not safe enough, right?" Louis asked curiously.

Alice nodded and said, "Yes, my dear prince, you don't expect us, a bunch of idiots, to go and defeat the demons in the demiplane directly, do you?"

She had a look on her face that said "I saw an idiot", and Louis slapped his head.

Sometimes, after a long time, you really forget that what stands behind Alice is just a family, not a legion.

Just as he was thinking this, the communication crystal rang again.

Louis took out the crystal and took a look. The person who sent the message was the Sword Master of the Roxy Empire.

"Strange, why would the Sword Master send me a message at this time?"

"They value you, and maybe even want to bring you into their country."

Louis shook his head and said, "The Sword Master would not do such an impossible thing."

Alice smiled and said, "Why don't you answer the phone first? What if there is something urgent?"

Louis didn't say anything, but just pressed the answer button:

The Sword Master's carefree voice came from the other side of the communication crystal:

"Prince Louis, when can we find a time to spar again?"

Louis decisively refused:

"You're still sparring in such a tense situation. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

The sword master shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that I have to spar with you as soon as possible, otherwise you will become stronger and there will be no chance."

Louis smiled and replied, "Get lost."

Although the gap between the two gradually widened, Louis had a high degree of approval for the swordsmanship of the sword master, which was like the mighty power of heaven carrying down dark clouds.

There is a difference between the holy realm and the sacred realm.

Since he entered the legendary realm earlier and longer, the Sword Master's exploration of the legendary rules is more in-depth than the several holy realms he has come into contact with.

"Father, please don't always embarrass His Excellency the Prince."

A helpless female voice sounded.

The voice of the Sword Master's daughter, Weir, appeared behind the communication crystal.

The sword master's menacing attitude instantly deflated like a balloon pricked by a needle.

"Vir, it's just a normal sparring match."

"You said the same thing last time, and ended up getting hurt." Wei'er poked her husband in the heart.

The knife master looked very upset, but he didn't know what to say.

Apparently, his daughter was still thinking about the injury he suffered during the last sparring with Louis.

Wei'er seemed to think that was not enough, and added: "Besides, father, how long has it been since you taught me the sword method?"

The knife master touched his nose awkwardly.

After he was at a disadvantage in the sparring match with Louis, he spent more time honing his martial arts skills.

In the past, he would always make time to teach his daughter.

Louis' eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately followed the opportunity given by Weier and said, "Master Sword Master, Miss Weier obviously wants her father to spend more time with her. Don't let your daughter down! After we have dealt with the problems your country has encountered recently, we will have plenty of time to communicate properly."

Now the seven disasters have given him a headache.

Although he also had a strong desire to compete, the time was really inappropriate.

"Well, that's a shame."

The sword master sighed, but soon thought of teaching his daughter sword skills, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"By the way, we are planning to raid a demiplane in Enther. There are demons that escaped from the Falling Star Sea. I wonder if you are willing to go with us."

The sword master readily agreed, then turned around to contact people and prepare to go into battle together.

After the communication crystal was disconnected, Alice looked at Louis strangely:

"Why do I feel like you want to keep the sword master by your side, afraid that he will be out of your sight?"

Louis didn't say anything.

He couldn't possibly tell Alice that the Sword Master was about to be assassinated. He was afraid that the assassination would succeed and disrupt Roxy's situation.

Now Roxy is facing enemies on multiple fronts, and the battle pressure is too great.

Although he didn't want the Rockxi Empire to live better than Enther, he still hoped that they could preserve their manpower.

It is best to be half dead and only be able to send out troops with all your strength.

Of course, this is just a thought and cannot be achieved.

But no matter what, the turning point of the Roxy turmoil began with the death of the sword master.

Louis...I really don't want this guy to die in such a confused way.

The two of them even agreed to compete with each other!
