Just when Sasu wanted to ask something else, Ophelia spoke before her.
"Shasu, stop talking and take these two compatriots away from here." Ophelia's expression flashed with complexity, but she eventually regained her composure. She whispered, "Even if the Archmage's body is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. However, his emotions have been stripped away by the power of legend, and he has lost his normal consciousness. He needs a fairy of the same legendary level to heal him."
The smile on Shasu's face froze, and she was speechless for a moment. The shock of confirming this news was even greater than the damage she had suffered. "...Knight Natalie, has she really been promoted to a legendary fairy?"
She had also seen Knight Natalie from a distance at the princess' coming-of-age ceremony...
At that time, he was just a little knight who was less than seven rings, and his family background was very ordinary. He was just an underage fairy with high-level blood, so no nobles would pay too much attention to him.
But now, it’s been less than a year since that time, and the other party is already a legendary fairy who holds power?
Not to mention the goblins, even in the long history of Avalon, there has never been a creature that was promoted to legend so quickly.
"Indeed, don't ask any more questions. This place is more dangerous than you think. Leave now." Ophelia hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "When you return, tell the Empire to withdraw its forces and not set foot on this continent... No, contact my father and have him withdraw his troops from Earth immediately. The situation has changed drastically and is no longer something that creatures below Legendary can handle. Many of my subjects aren't even Grand Mages, and their lives will be wasted."
"...In that case, Your Highness, you should return to the Empire with me and report the details to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Sasu glanced at Ophelia. Her expression was very serious and did not seem fake, but it was difficult for her to leave just like that, so she wanted to persuade her to leave together.
"No..." Ophelia bit her lower lip, her eyes flickering, "I can't leave here, just go away and don't ask any more questions."
She was worried that Natalie would take action herself, so she kept urging Shasu to take her compatriots away.
"Why...why is this?!" Sha Su looked into Ophelia's eyes and couldn't help asking, "Princess, are you going to break with the empire this time?"
She was a little bit unbelievable. Today's news was more shocking than the last.
"I'm not breaking with the Empire, but I have no choice now." Ophelia shook her head. The other party was a noble, after all, so she had to tell the truth. "The Crimson King has set his sights on us. Now only Natalie can stand against the True God. And after I return to the Empire, there's no guarantee that the Three Pillars won't attack Natalie and me."
Seeing the other person still looking incredulous, she continued, "Natalie is spying on the path to the throne. Anyone who tries to stop her now will suffer a fateful outcome. She might even destroy the Earth. You should bring this news to my father."
Road to the Throne!
In other words, Natalie, who had just been promoted to a legendary fairy, began to move towards the throne of the true god, reaching a place that even the mother of fairies could not touch.
Shasu is not a fool. Although she maintains the arrogance of a high-level fairy, the person standing in front of her is, after all, the more noble Princess. The bloodline hierarchy among fairies is extremely strict. Even though she is a great noble, it is not easy for her to go against the will of the heir to the throne of the empire.
"I will convey this to His Majesty the Emperor. As for the Empire's final decision, that is beyond my influence."
Sha Su was silent for a long time before she nodded. She had remained skeptical from the beginning to the end, but this time she didn't say anything. Instead, she left with the souls of her two companions.
Ophelia watched the other person's figure gradually disappear, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that Natalie is still asleep, otherwise Sha Su really can't leave here."
Now that she is the lord, she can no longer stop Natalie's decision. After all, she is a legendary fairy and her strength is superior to hers.
But she simply couldn't bear to watch a familiar fairy being brutally killed.
"But the nobles are too arrogant. Even if I ask Shasu to pass on this, the chances of her being accepted are slim." Ophelia thought of this, her expression showing a hint of worry. "Now I can only hope that my father will order the Imperial Army to withdraw from Earth."
But will the emperor really believe what his daughter says?
It's hard to say.
But no matter what, Ophelia didn't want to see Natalie and start a fight within the empire.
......
Chixia City.
In the central area of the city, the headquarters building of the parliament is located.
The top floor of the triangular building is where the first speaker, Yan Ziqing, sits. However, she does not directly exercise power over the parliament, but only maintains basic military deterrence to the outside world.
As for the policies and decisions within the city, they are basically issued jointly by the Second Speaker and the Third Speaker.
Yan Ziqing had breakfast in the upper dining room. She took the intelligence handed to her by her assistant and slowly browsed through it. When she finished reading, she couldn't help but look up at the assistant standing respectfully beside her. "Bai Shiying, do you have anything else to say?"
"No, all the information is recorded here."
This male subordinate was very burly and full of explosive power, but in front of the first master of mankind, he was still as obedient as a little lamb.
"Then go and inform all members of the parliament that I will be convening a Speaker's meeting at 3 pm. Except for those who are on missions outside, everyone else must be present."
Yan Ziqing gave orders to his assistant with a faint smile on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Speaker!"
The assistant nodded vigorously, saluted, and trotted away.
The smile on Yan Ziqing's face gradually disappeared only after she saw the other party leave completely. She lowered her head and carefully looked at the information on it. After confirming that it was correct, she tore the document into pieces with an expressionless face.
"It's earlier than expected... much earlier than I thought. Fate has branched." Her long hair fell on her shoulders. The sunlight stopped just in front of her, creating a bright scene in front of her and a shadow behind her. "Is this the aftereffect of my forceful promotion of the Force? No... it shouldn't backfire so severely..."
She was born a martial artist, but in order to make humans adapt to the polluted environment more quickly, she had signed an agreement with Star Soul long ago, which was to promote Star Soul's derivative force and suppress the development of martial arts power.
This is why those who use the Force are destined to become more and more powerful, while martial arts will become weaker and weaker.
"There must be something wrong that I'm not aware of. I must communicate with the Star Soul again..."
Yan Ziqing looked out the floor-to-ceiling window not far away at the city outside, which was like a steel forest and full of destructive defensive weapons. He couldn't help muttering to himself.
This city is completely different from what we saw more than two hundred years ago.
