In the hotel, Ash opened his eyes and felt a chill on his back and cold arms - the floor underground was very humid.

Wait, how did I end up on the floor?

Ash sat up and saw Liz in a seal robe, occupying the entire single bed in a "big" shape, not realizing that she had been kicked off.

Looking at the pair of little feet that kept pulling the quilt out, Ash seemed to be able to see how he was pulled out of the bed little by little by this guy.

After covering the little seal with a blanket, Ash sat on the chair next to him, and without turning on the light, he summoned the "Secret Poison Diary" and began to write down his experiences and gains tonight from the back - the front was the adventures in chronological order, and the back was the major events in his life that he thought needed to be recorded immediately. The magician who picked up the copy of his diary seemed to love reading his diary, and the number of people reading the diary increased steadily.

Although it was a diary read by only one person, Ash wrote it in great detail. Although his writing ability was not good, his attitude was very positive.

"...Spiral flames pierced the sky like spears, and the countercurrent of golden rain in the entire area was dispersed. The ground illuminated by the flames quickly grew vines and giant trees. Even though we were far away, the sports car was shaken and turned sideways. We all flew out due to inertia. I used the sword body barrier to protect the witch, and I could only hold the sword princess and roll over..."

"This is probably the miracle controlled by Oasis. It is different from the spatial transfer of the spider web. Its regular effect is a miracle against the city. Then something happened that I should not be able to see in my lifetime, at least not many times - the entire main city fell to the ground, and we were right below it. It's worth mentioning that Sword Princess was so scared that she shrank back and sang softly in my ear. I can laugh at her about this later."

"Of course the main city didn't fall directly, otherwise they would have been smashed to pieces. The main city finally stopped dozens of meters in the air. We looked up and saw this amazing upside-down main city, which was full of glittering orange sunflowers. The garden lived up to its name. The entire main city was very close to the color of the countercurrent golden rain. No wonder it was completely invisible from the ground..."

"Unlike other main cities, perhaps as a price to pay for standing in the sky, the Garden City does not have defensive capabilities. The Spider Tower and the Oasis fired upwards and destroyed one-tenth of the flowers. Flowers are obviously an important resource for the Garden City. The initiative on the battlefield has therefore shifted to the hands of the invaders. The Garden Legion must land on the ground and fight with the Spider Tower and the Oasis... Actually, this is normal. If the Garden can both float in the air and defend, and other legions must fly up to invade, then the Garden's advantage is too great, and it is almost invincible."

"Although there is no balance mechanism in this world, it's not like the Lord God won't overturn the table. If you are unfair, He will make you fair."

"Thanks to the melee, we successfully snatched three commander manuals, four necromancers, and the maps of the gardens and spider towers, and successfully retreated before the refraction curtain wall was broken. The necromancers included three gardens and one spider tower. My necromancer lit up orange and purple, and the three-color anchor of the special unit was upgraded to a five-color anchor... It's a pity that I didn't get the map of the oasis. Now I'm only two maps away from lighting up the entire time continent."

"We each have one Commander's Manual. I actually wanted to give two to Sword Lady and one to the Witch. After all, I'm more casual about the faction realm, but I'm worried that the Witch will find it unfair. Maybe the Witch doesn't care, but I can't help but care. It feels like raising two daughters. I have to be careful to treat them equally... But at least they won't kick me out of the car."

"Thinking back carefully, I feel like I said some very shameful words to Sword Princess tonight, but I won't write it down, and I guess you're not interested in reading it."

Closing the secret poison diary, Ash fell into deep thought.

In fact, there was something he didn't write in his diary: on the battlefield, they killed a Spider Tower commander. To this end, Sword Lady and Witch were both armed with the sixth-level soldier "Bullet Star Warrior". Under the effect of the "mysterious power" of the secret incarnation, they were regarded as neutral units by the Spider Tower and successfully sneaked up to the Spider Tower commander and launched a surprise attack.

Otherwise, the Spider Tower and Oasis would besiege the Garden and crush it. Unless the Garden also used miracles, there was no way the Spider Tower commander would be killed.

The reason why Ash and the others took such a risk was to unlock the second power of the secret incarnation. There was no better opportunity to assassinate than on the battlefield. Fortunately, Ash temporarily upgraded the refraction curtain wall to level 11, otherwise they really couldn't escape the battlefield.

However, the power that was opened with so much difficulty was somewhat subtle.

"Secret-Keeping Power: You keep your lips tightly shut, so no one can know the deepest secrets in your heart, but the secrets are also protecting your soul. You cannot tell the secrets that you value most, and the more you want to tell, the stronger the secret-keeping effect will be."

In the viewer's personal interface, Ash also saw an additional effect:

"Secret Keeping (Confidence 13%): Your mental resistance increases by 13%, and your soul's adaptability to gods of similar factions increases by 13%."

Ash immediately remembered the information they got from the mermaid. The reason why Harvey could control the gods in the future was because he got a concept incarnation related to the dead in the time continent. At that time, Ash was still wondering if the secret incarnation would have a similar effect. He didn't expect it to be opened like this.

The power of keeping secrets is indeed powerful. After all, it increases the adaptability of the gods. This is the ladder to heaven and the road to angels. However, it is meaningless to Ash and his friends - not to mention that they are only two-winged golden magicians, even if they are three-winged sanctuaries, they are still a long way from being gods!

In online games, this means that low-level players are able to wear divine equipment, but the question is, where is the divine equipment?

When he thought of this, Ash felt that the gods were really insidious. The people who needed the concept incarnation the most were undoubtedly the four-winged legendary magicians. However, the concept incarnation seemed to only appear in the time continent. At that time, the legendary magicians were just two-winged weaklings who had to run away when they met the Heroic Soul Legion. It was really like "I met the best you at the age when I had nothing". If I missed it, I would have no chance.

In fact, what Ash cares more about is the power of keeping secrets. What secret does it hide?

Time travel? The wizard's manual? XP that even Veela finds perverted? Or is it his intention...

Sword Lady and Witch were still eager to help him try it out, but Ash could tell at a glance that they just wanted to dig up his dark history, so he naturally ran away quickly.

However, the degree of confession is only 13%, which means that he does not intend to tell it, and it is useless for Ash to think more. Speaking of which, the setting of the secret-keeping power is also quite abnormal. The more you value it and the more you want to tell it, the less it will let you say it, and the stronger the attribute bonus it gives - it feels that only assassins or secret admirers can exert the true power of this power.

Thinking of this, Ash summoned the Gospel and turned to "Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual" - "Supply Procurement".

After uploading the cheap sorcerer that Sword Lady didn't want tonight, Ash's points finally broke through 328!

In other words, he can purchase "a box of source crystals" worth 328 points, which can trigger a double reward for the first recharge!

However, Ash had no interest in drawing cards. After all, the "'Dance with Swords and Dragons' Limited Search" had ended long ago, and he had no chance to draw the limited edition costume "Bride·Sword Princess".

In fact, he didn't really want to see it. He mainly wanted to buy clothes for Fiora to reward her.

Although Ash can use the Gospel Book to strengthen his "mind" and draw the items he needs even in the regular card pool, the problem is that he doesn't have any items he particularly wants now - he can't draw the bride.

Sneaking into the palace to assassinate the princess is certainly dangerous, but there are no items in the regular card pool that can quickly increase his combat power. As for the new operators... Honestly speaking, it is not suitable to add new operators these days. At least wait until the weaving ceremony is over, and he will take Liz as Igula's dowry maid to the Beldette family to be a parasite. Only then will he have the energy to deal with more complicated interpersonal relationships.

It would be best if there was another limited pool, so that Ash would have a strong desire to spend money. Even if there is no "bride", swimsuits, cheongsams, priests, veelas, maids, etc. can be arranged!

Therefore, Ash continued to save these points and draw cards when the urge to draw came to him.

I don't even have the urge to draw a card, how can I possibly ship it?!

At this time, Liz grabbed the bed twice, but didn't catch anything, so she sat up, rubbing her eyes. She looked around with sleepy eyes and saw Ash. She yawned and lay back down. She patted the bed a few times and made a "hmm" sound through her nose to urge him.

"what?"

"Come to bed..."

"I woke up."

"Then I won't sleep either." Liz came over and sat on the chair next to her.

"Children who don't get enough sleep won't grow up!"

"I'm not afraid!"

"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something." Ash said, "After the weaving ceremony is over, can you go back to being a princess?"

"ah?"

"Whether the operation succeeds or not, you have no reason to stay outside. Besides, you are the only descendant of the Yisu royal family. The Yisu royal family will not let you wander among the people, right? Will you return to the palace and continue to be a princess?"

In the darkness, Liz stared at Ash with wide eyes: "Dad, do you want to give up on me?"

"No--"

"Then why are you asking that? You said before that we would live together after the Weaving Festival is over!"

"Here comes the question," Ash said, "Where are we going to live?"

"Huh?" Liz was confused. This question was a bit profound for her.

"After leaving the funeral, I have no connections, no real estate, and even no job. I feel that the quality of life will drop drastically. Besides, 'Princess of Yisu' sounds much more impressive than 'daughter of Ash'—"

"Who said that? It's obviously the one behind who is super powerful!"

"This is a bit troublesome," Ash scratched his head. "If I were alone, I could even sleep in a cardboard box under the overpass, but with you here, I'll have to work a little harder. For a happy life, I have three suggestions -"

"First, I will sell my body and beg An Nan to support us."

Liz lowered her head and shook her legs: "I don't want a stepmother now..."

"Second, we beg Igula to sell her body and let Beldette support us."

"That's good," Liz said, "but Aunt Borgin seems to be reluctant."

"Then we can only choose the third option." Ash said: "Let the stand go out to work and earn money to support the family."

"But a stand-in can't make much money, right?" Liz thought for a moment, "But it doesn't matter. As long as I'm with my dad, it's totally fine for Liz to be a little poor—"

"No, no matter how hard it is, I can't let my child suffer. Even if it's just for your happy life, I will try my best!" Ash said in a loud voice.
