"Trust me." Xiu Zhe lowered his head and looked at each other, a smile appeared on Yong Shili's face, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "I believe in you, I have always believed in you." ”

Yong Shili, who took the initiative to leave Xiuzhe's arms, also calmed down, and Skadi looked at Yong Shili, who turned to look at him, lowered his head and said, "Xiao Li.. I'm sorry, I.."

"Sister Skady, I know that this is the only way to keep the entire principality, and it is a helpless thing to do to become a vassal state." Although Yong Shili, who had calmed down, was still secretly sad at the news of Ning Yingyi's death, she still played a comforting role, came to Skadi's side and gently held Skadi's hand.

In fact, in the face of the extremely powerful Delos Empire, Skady has made her best efforts, in her opinion, her status reduction is not unacceptable, what she really can't accept is the death of Ning Yingyi and the 300,000 soldiers guarding the west coast, she thinks in her heart that she has lived up to Yong Jingshuo's expectations.

Sighing lightly, Skady smiled bitterly, this was originally supposed to play the role of comforting Yong Shili, but now the roles have been reversed, and the little girl who once pestered herself to play Keju not only became a big beauty, but also surpassed her peers in mind.

Xiu Zhe could see that Yong Shili seemed to have a lot of things to say to Skadi, and he wouldn't stand here to attract people, so he left the bedroom lightly and closed the door.

Looking at Lobach's somewhat puzzled eyes, Xiu Zhe whispered: "Yong Shili and Queen Skadi have something to say, I'll go first." ”

"Your Excellency Xiuzhe, if you don't mind, will you stay in the palace for the time being?" Lobach whispered.

Xiu Zhe nodded after hearing this, anyway, he has nowhere to go for the time being, especially Yong Shili has been hit by a certain blow, and it is not good for him to leave alone, and he is not in a hurry to go to the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain, now his bearing capacity has reached the limit, and if he forcibly subdues John as his fifth ghost god, the load is too great.

Under Lobach's arrangement, Xiu Zhe stayed in the palace, and when the maid was dismissed, Xiu Zhe stood alone in front of the window looking at the bright moon hanging in the air and muttered: "Delos Empire, it seems that we must divide your life and death." ”

Even without Yong Shili, Xiu Zhe would have fulfilled Kaija's wish, in other words, he had to fulfill Jige's wish, which was to destroy the Delos Empire.

There is no power in the world, although Xiu Zhe doesn't want the power of this ghost god, but if there is no ghost god, he would have died a long time ago, and he really wants to do something for them for the ghost god Xiu Zhe who does his best to assist him.

But he also had a vague feeling that what Giger and Kaija wanted might not be as simple as just the destruction of the Delos Empire.

There are no hidden things in this world, there are only people who know and keep them in the dark, what kind of man Jige is, although he is not very clear, he can be sure that this man's vision will definitely not be limited to such cheesy grievances.

But Xiu Zhe will definitely not be a puppet at the mercy of others, if Jige really wants to do something contrary to his interests, then he will not let Jige get his wish...

————————————————

Half a year has passed, and during this time, the capable people who originally served in the Duchy of Belmar have also left the Duchy, leaving this country without any future and joining the Delos Empire is the choice of smart people, and Skady did not deliberately keep this phenomenon, and even Dick, the first magician of the court, finally left to become a part of the Delos Empire regardless of the treaty signed between his ancestors and the Duchy for life to serve the monarchs for life.

The magic academy set up by Sharan has also gradually declined with Shalan's return to the Dark Elf Kingdom, and it is a matter of time before it closes its doors like this, and in the eyes of outsiders, the principality will inevitably be completely destroyed in the end.

Needless to say, Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili exercised day after making a detailed training plan, honed swordsmanship at night, and took advantage of the time to sleep late at night to sink their consciousness into the illusion created by Kazan and ponder a new fighting style.

Yong Shili turned hatred into motivation, and the speed of her strength increase surprised even the GSD who returned to the principality to train her personally, and she and Xiu Zhe also maintained a complete victory record in several unknown battles.

But this is limited to sparring, Yong Shili and GSD both know that Xiu Zhe's moves are all killing techniques, whether it is the mountain collapse slash taught to him by Luxie or the final means of the evil god Horror Laxiu will cause large-scale destruction, it is a desperate move for you to live and die.

But Yong Shili is not bad, at least Xiu Zhe can almost easily win the battle when it is difficult to let go of her hands and feet to fight, including Xiu Zhe who has already mastered the phantom sword dance and cannot defeat Yong Shili.

And in the past six months, Xiu Zhe always likes to accompany Yong Shili at night to sit on the top of the highest main hall of the palace and look at the lonely palace and the bright galaxy, although the two sometimes don't even say a word, but they can feel a peace of mind in their hearts.

"How are you going to spend your birthday?" Yong Shili asked softly, the breeze blew her long silver-white hair fluttering slightly, and her beautiful face was even more charming against the background of the moonlight, although Xiu Zhe didn't want to admit it, he would really feel a little intoxicated sometimes.

Retracting his somewhat stupid gaze, Xiu Zhe folded his hands behind his head and lay down a little leisurely and said, "That's it, I don't particularly care about birthdays." ”

"It's your sixteenth birthday in three days, and you'll be an adult after this birthday, how can you be sloppy?" Yong Shili said angrily.

"You know, I don't like trouble, and I don't like to make any noticeable moves." Xiu Zhe pursed his lips and said, "Let the maid cook me a bowl of longevity noodles, it's reasonable to have a good deal on your birthday." ”

Yong Shili smiled: "Some people's names are eye-catching enough, even if they temporarily 'disappear', they can't escape becoming people's topics." ”

"I really don't need it, what do you want for your birthday?" Xiu Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head to change the topic.

"I just want you to come to my birthday in two months, and I'll keep everything simple, although Sister Skady doesn't agree, but it's my birthday, and she can't force me." Yong Shili looked at Xiu Zhe, and after a few seconds of looking at each other, Xiu Zhe put aside his gaze and said a little embarrassed: "That's not good, I decided to give you a gift." ”

Yong Shili looked at the sky, stretched out her index finger and tapped her smooth chin, and said for a while: "You make me a bowl of longevity noodles with your own hands, right?" That's your birthday present to me. ”

"I'm a terrible cook!" Xiu Zhe said with a smile.

"Then I can only endure the feeling of vomiting and eat it, who said that longevity noodles can't be thrown away?" Yong Shili was a little happy, Xiu Zhe agreed in disguise.

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiu Zhe teased: "Then I have to hone my cooking skills in the past two months, so as not to make our ninth princess unhappy and eat hard." ”

After chatting for a while, the two went back to the dormitory to sleep, and Yong Shili was accompanied by Dai Yeyun, and she didn't have to be accompanied by Xiu Zhe.

On his birthday three days later, the guests in the dormitory where Xiu Zhe temporarily stayed were only Skadi and Yong Shili, and Skadi dismissed all the maids to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Xiu Zhe with his own hands.

Xiu Zhe felt flattered in his heart for this kind of glory, and Skadi just smiled at this, there was nothing for a queen like her who had been stripped of her power to be treated like this by Xiu Zhe.

Skadi is very good at her craft, and even though she hasn't cooked for someone else in a few years, a simple bowl of longevity noodles is still hard for her.

Bringing the hot noodles to Xiu Zhe, Skadi kept a smile on his face and said, "This bowl of noodles is only one, I don't think you have to go out of your way to eat enough, right?" ”

Xiu Zhe smiled and nodded, and Yong Shili on the side also took out the extremely beautifully packaged large cake from the storage bag.

Looking at this cake, Xiu Zhe couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, he liked to eat these sweets when he was young, but the price of delicious cakes was extremely expensive for his family at that time, but Xiu Xiangxue would buy a piece every time he celebrated his birthday, and would cook him a table of delicious food and cook a bowl of longevity noodles.

Now that Xiu Xiangxue is gone, Xiu Zhe has no relatives in this world whose blood is thicker than water.

"What's wrong with you?" Yong Shili saw that Xiu Zhe was a little sad, and couldn't help but ask.

Xiu Zhe came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that it's a little sad to remember the past I experienced when I was a child." ”

Twitching his nose slightly, Xiu Zhe picked up the noodles in the bowl in front of him with chopsticks, ate a whole noodle, and exclaimed: "Her Majesty's craftsmanship is really good, this noodle has the taste of soup." ”

Scardy smiled with relief, and when Xiu Zhe drank two more sips of soup, he was forced by Yong Shili to make a wish and blow out the candles on the cake again.

After going through this series of processes, Yong Shili happily began to cut the cake, and Skadi looked away as if he wanted to say something as he ate the cake.

"Your Majesty, if there is anything you want to ask me to do, but it doesn't matter, I have been taken care of by you many times, and I am not a person who does not know how to reciprocate." Xiu Zhe put down the plate containing the cake in his hand and said.

Yong Shili's smile also retracted, and she looked at Skadi with some confusion.

"I really doubt you can read minds."

Xiu Zhe just smiled and didn't speak, waiting for Skady to continue.

Scardy sighed and continued: "Just yesterday, a plague broke out in the Dark Elf Kingdom, according to the spies, the lethality of this plague is particularly terrifying, a large number of Dark Elf people died, and the Dark Elf Kingdom suspects that we made it, and now the Delos Empire army is also at war with the Dark Elves. ”

Yong Shili snorted with some disdain: "Dog eats dog." ”

Xiu Zhe chuckled, "What does Her Majesty mean?" ...”

"This may be our chance to break free from Delos' rule, so I'd like to ask you to investigate in the Dark Elf Kingdom."

"Yes."

"No, you can't!"

Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili spoke out at the same time, which made the three of them a little stunned.

"Sister Skady, you're not mistaken, are you? You yourself said that the plague there has caused the death of a large number of dark elves, and Xiu Zhe is only strong, but it doesn't mean that he won't be infected with the plague. Yong Shili glanced at Xiu Zhe and signaled him not to speak.

Skady also knew that this commission was dangerous, but if he didn't figure out the source, the next one to be affected by the disaster would be the principality, and the guys in the Delos Empire only knew how to preserve their strength, and once the plague spread, they would definitely withdraw faster than anyone else.

And at that time, the principality will not only be poisoned by the plague, but also bear the wrath of the Dark Elf Kingdom, and the 300,000 troops held by the Principality today are not the opponents of the Dark Elf Kingdom at all.

"Her Majesty doesn't need to call me you." Xiu Zhe looked at Yong Shili and said, "You also listen carefully to my opinions." ”

Yong Shili crossed her arms and sat down on her chest and said, "Say it, I want to hear what reason you have to go." ”

Xiu Zhe smiled and said, "Her Majesty wants me to investigate, presumably I have already contacted Norton, the most famous alchemist in the principality, right?" ”

Scardy nodded, and Xiu Zhe continued: "This is indeed an opportunity, although the Dark Elves are good at magic, but their magic must not have any effect on the plague, otherwise the Dark Elves will not die, and if Mr. Norton can develop an antidote with my help, we can also take advantage of this to negotiate terms with the Dark Elf Kingdom." Your Majesty, I'm not wrong, am I? ”

"Yes, I have this plan, but Xiao Li is right, there is indeed a great risk there, a bad one may stay there forever, if you refuse, it is reasonable." Scardy also looked very chic when she spoke at this time, and she understood that she had no reason to let Xiu Zhe take such a big risk.
