In the Yisu Palace, all guests have been driven out, and even the automatic attendants of the Gospel Control are only allowed to stay in the front hall. The thirteenth witch Hapi is not allowed to report to the chief. Only the chief Annan, the second seat Qinna and the seventh seat Nona remain in the palace. Everyone suspects that the chief and the second seat are distributing interests, and the Gospel pie will be redistributed by the two legendary magicians. The members of parliament urgently contacted the consortium family, and countless signals carrying conspiracies shuttled through the night sky. For many people, this is destined to be an unforgettable sleepless night.
However, the truth was slightly different from what they imagined. The chief witch was indeed doing something very important, and more important than they thought - she was tucking in the little queen.
An Nan looked at Diya sleeping quietly in her bed. The delicate little queen didn't like lying on her back, so she curled up on her side like a koala hugging a tree. Her eyebrows trembled slightly. She didn't know what she was dreaming about, but it shouldn't be a nightmare. An Nan had never seen anyone drooling like a waterfall during a nightmare.
The witch sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to stroke the queen's hair.
If you think about it carefully, their relationship is actually very strange. Annan didn't have any feelings for Lisdiya at the beginning. She didn't long for family as much as Ash. Although her father died early and her mother was a bad person, she had Panji to take care of her. She had a happy childhood and adolescence. After she became an adult, she traveled all over the gospel and witnessed all kinds of joys and sorrows. Her three views were very complete and stable. Lisdiya, a little girl of unknown origin, could not shake her heart.
The opportunity for their relationship to deepen came after Ash was teleported to Senluo. Panji became a child due to a miracle, and only she and Diya were left in the funeral office. She didn't know what to do for a while, and Diya didn't know how to govern the country. They were like two little dogs left to watch the house. Before Ash left, he asked her to take care of Lisdiya. Annan, who had been a daughter for more than 20 years, suddenly became the guardian of this country, the queen, and her own housekeeper.
Why on earth do I like this naughty Queen?
Is it because she fully supports his reforms?
Or is it because I made her angry that she came over to me in a coy and friendly way?
Or was it because she was so attached to him every night when she went to sleep?
An Nan leaned over and kissed Diya on the forehead, and Diya made a cute humming sound, so cute that An Nan's girlish heart melted. The reason was no longer important, some people just walked into my heart unconsciously, such as Yaxiu and Diya, and what was important was that my life had a touch of bright color.
After confirming that the temperature and humidity in the room were at the most comfortable level for Diya, An Nan adjusted the light to a dim and soft level and gently closed the door of the bedroom. She came to the front hall and saw Yaxiu and Qinna chatting.
I haven't seen Ash for more than half a year. Although his appearance hasn't changed much, I don't know if it's because of his strength or his experience, he has shed his past immaturity, like a piece of unpolished jade that has been washed clean of dust, radiating a flawless luster. He is wearing the clothes of a court attendant, with his hands folded in front of his chest and leaning against the wall. He is standing next to the tall elf chief, but his aura is not inferior at all, and the arrogance of holding power and strength emanates from the inside out.
Qinna noticed Annan's gaze, her eyebrows curved, a hint of charm flowing down her eyebrows. She suddenly leaned close to Ash's ear and said something, then walked away gracefully under Annan's murderous gaze.
It was not until the elf mother disappeared into the corridor that An Nan came over and said sullenly, "She didn't say anything to you, did she?"
Ash seemed to have just come to his senses, blinked and asked, "What do you think she'll say?"
"I'll give you some really outrageous suggestions." The Gospel Chief Witch said coyly, "For example, help me become a demigod, help her enter the realm of God, or... have her serve you together with me."
When she said the last sentence, no matter how calm she was, An Nan's face was still red enough to bleed. She didn't know why she said it, as if she was teasing Ash. When she saw Qinna, she always turned back into a little girl who was in a state of panic... or maybe when she saw the man in front of her, she couldn't help but turn back into a bold and casual young lady.
Ash smiled, took her hand and sat down on the sofa, and said, "Ms. Qinna told me that I would either scald you to death with hot water or freeze you to death with ice water."
"ah?"
"In short, I don't want to waste your time with warm water." Ash said, "She hopes that I can be firm with her daughter and either approach you or reject you."
An Nan was startled, a warm and bitter feeling spreading in her heart. She turned her head and stared at the pattern of the carpet, whispering: "Why is she still acting like a mother now... You don't have to pay attention to her."
Ash could naturally see Annan's inner turmoil. In fact, the fact that Annan allowed Qinna to join the Witch Political Bureau showed that she wanted to accept her mother, but she couldn't let go of the hatred in her heart. Ash had no right and didn't want to interfere in such grudges between relatives.
However, he felt that An Nan would probably be dominated by Qinna for the rest of her life, because Qinna was not simply bad or good. She made An Nan hate her to death over small matters, but she always stood on An Nan's side on big matters. That's why An Nan hated and loved her, and could not forget her. He wanted to distance himself from her rationally, but he couldn't help but get close to her... This kind of feeling is often the most unforgettable.
"How is Diya?"
"He slept soundly and his body temperature has returned to normal, but I don't know when he will wake up."
"That's good." Ash let out a long breath, as if a huge stone had been lifted off his heart, and he felt much lighter. "We are now undergoing a crucial trial. Going home may be of great help to Diya. She needs to sleep in the palace during this period. But in order to prevent Fanxing from noticing us, I need your help."
"No problem." An Nan nodded without hesitation: "I have activated the forbidden defense barrier of the palace. All servants can only move around in the front hall. Except for me, Qinna, and Nona, no one else can enter the back hall. You can stay here without worry."
"I will also keep an eye on the permanent empty gate, but if an angel disguises himself to sneak in, the Gospel System may not be able to recognize it."
"This is enough. If an angel comes, I will deal with it." Ash paused and said, "After that time, did you all become legends?"
"Yes," An Nan nodded, "During this period of time, we have been hunting and fighting in Ruby Mountain, and all of them have condensed different-colored virtual wings. Now we are considering adjusting the proportion of the magic colors of the virtual wings, and we are hesitating whether to mix mixed colors or maintain pure colors."
"I suggest pure color. The multicolored virtual wings can only give you a certain combat advantage at the legendary level, but in the demigod promotion ceremony and the subsequent path of magic, pure color virtual wings are more helpful to magicians." Yaxiu reminded: "If you want to change your main magic, the legendary level is your best time to switch. If you switch to magic when you become a demigod, you will always lose a pure color virtual wing..."
An Nan listened very carefully. Now Ash is different from before. As the most famous demigod magician in the world, the Supreme of Stars personally ordered the five countries to want a criminal in troubled times. The advice he gave from a high vantage point is an unimaginable wealth of knowledge. The legends of the five countries are willing to pay any price to get a few words from him on the practice of magic.
"Are they doing okay?"
"Freya and Shivlin have not yet revealed their legendary strength and are still practicing quietly in the hospital; Tamashi's Thousand Wishes Heaven is doing well and it seems that a town is about to be built... By the way, Tamashi wants to return the Thousand Wishes Heaven to you, but she has not been able to build a door leading to the human world. Can you——"
"Let her keep it for now." Ash shook his head: "We don't need Heaven right now. It would be meaningless for me to take it back. It might even be a huge trouble."
Times are different now. For ordinary magicians, a paradise is indeed a wealth beyond imagination, but for Ash and his companions, a "fixed paradise that cannot be moved" is at most a resource point that adds icing on the cake, not an indispensable base.
Not to mention that Ash and the others could exalt the Kingdom of Heaven if they passed this trial, even if they could exalt the Kingdom of Heaven now, they would never set foot in Heaven.
There are four great gods and one supreme being in heaven. Heaven is more dangerous to them than hell. Ash was a fool to send his head thousands of miles away. Although he didn't know where the Thousand Wishes Heaven was hidden in heaven, Ash suspected that once he stepped into heaven, he would wake up the four gods and one supreme being at the same time. Therefore, he didn't dare to touch the Thousand Wishes Heaven even if he took it back. It would be better to let Tamashi keep it.
Although the wishing well in the secret realm of the world is quite important, it is not an eternal wonder and cannot be converted into effective combat power.
Only when Ash becomes the Lord God, the Thousand Wishes Paradise and the Wishing Well can realize their true value in his hands.
After exchanging the most necessary information, Ash and An Nan fell into a strange silence. After a while, An Nan covered his face helplessly, saying in a complicated tone: "Why did you take the initiative to mention that time... This is a taboo among us. Some time ago, just mentioning your name would make the atmosphere very awkward."
Ash felt embarrassed and wanted to laugh, so he couldn't help but ask, "So how do you feel?"
An Nan hesitated for a moment: "Very comfortable?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ash said faintly, "What I actually asked was whether there was anything unusual after you were promoted to Legend in this way... But I think I got the answer."
An Nan pursed her lips, her shoulders trembling with anger, and she could not help but hit him. At this time, she saw the smirk on Ash's lips, and her anger immediately burned through her belly. She fought against the strongest demigod with her legendary rank: "That's what you asked! You did it on purpose!"
Click. Ash stretched out his finger and gently touched the collar on An Nan's neck. An Nan stopped instantly. It was not because Ash controlled her, but because Ash's action reminded them of the same thing.
"I had just escaped from the blood moon, and was captured by you and Panji as soon as I landed." Yaxiu said, "You also put a lock collar on me, and then sold me to the Four Pillars Cult for a high price..."
"It's not a very high price actually." An Nan said leisurely, "I just want to get information about foreign travelers through the Four Pillars Divine Religion...Times are changing so fast. It was quite difficult to find a foreign traveler a year ago, but now there are thousands of foreign travelers coming in and out of Kongmen every day."
"You put a collar on me at first, now it's my turn to put a collar on you." Ash chuckled, "Finally I've gotten my revenge."
"Didn't we agree to start over? Why are you still holding a grudge?"
"Because I feel recently that even that calculated encounter is now a precious memory when I look back on it." Ash said, "I actually miss the days when we were running around in Gospel. Anyway, we just need to follow the young lady around, and we only need to be your backup."
An Nan lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Now you are the ones running around, and I am your backup in Gospel."
She leaned over and pressed down on Ash. The most vicious purple moth in the whole gospel had a clear gaze like a spring, which flowed directly into Ash's eyes. She supported herself on the sofa with both hands, her light pink lips trembled slightly, and she slowly moved closer.
Ash raised his index finger to block her lips and shook his head gently.
