"Meow~"

The black "lion king" let out a cry of dissatisfaction. Dimi was holding dried fish in his hand, but the "Lion King" didn't even look at Dimi.

The "Lion King" was taken from the "Octopus" Golding by the people of the Black Floating City at the "strong request" of the girl. Now the maiden didn't need Golding's boat, but she and Dimi decided to leave him a little gold to pay for their stay during this time. Of course, it is also important to bring back the cute "lion king".

"Your master ......" found that the "Lion King" was ignoring him, and Dimi sighed, "She just went out." Will be back soon. ”

……

In the Black Lord's library.

When the Black Floating City was first founded, the Black Lord often studied here with his wife. Later, after the death of the wife of the Black Lord, the Black Lord rarely set foot here. He sealed his collection of books and memories that he didn't usually use in this room, and the shelves were covered with a thick layer of dust, and even the "Black Apostle" could only enter with permission.

But now......

"Ahhh......h It's only been three days, and it's become like this......"

The youngest of the Black Apostles, Simon, the Seventh Black Apostle? Disnell, worried about the study that had become a mess. Books on the shelves were littered, and the only desk was littered with old manuscripts. Simon and his brothers and sisters don't disrespect their teachers so much.

Apparently...... This study has just welcomed a new user. And this visitor doesn't have much respect for the Lord of Darkness.

Simon is the only person other than the Black Lord himself who can move quickly in the world under the clouds. At the same time, he is also responsible for cleaning the teacher's room. Obviously, after the task of delivering the cat, the work of restoring the study to its original state can only fall on his head.

"The time limit is all day today......" the junior disciple of the Black Apostle sighed. Being able to use the teacher's room is a bonus, but it's hard to say how much time you'll have to read after tidying up.

Fortunately...... Goth has returned. He brought in a couple of new "housekeeping magic", which really helped.

The only problem is that many old magic books have strange enchantments on them, and those simple "housekeeping magic" may not work......

----------------

Meanwhile.

The top of the Black Floating City.

Deep Black Dome.

"You're finally here." Looking at the girl who was slowly approaching, the Lord of Black sighed.

At this time, three days have passed since the girl and the others returned to the clouds.

"You won't be allowed to spend a few more days with your boyfriend," the girl feigned, "It's the first time I've come to this city." I can't go shopping for three days......"

The Black Lord shook his head.

"Don't just talk about that. Falling into the sea of clouds has also improved your perception of the sea of clouds a lot," said the Lord of Darkness, "The 'simple clone' I gave you is still useful?" ”

The girl smiled. Reining her childish stance, she reverted back to being a rational arcane spellcaster.

"Of course."

Except for Mr. Palamedes himself, even the other Black Apostles, the girl couldn't believe it. She has been dating Dimi for the past few days, on the one hand, she wants to enjoy the two-person world with Dimido for a while, and on the other hand, she also wants to stay in the city to collect more information.

Concerned about the war on the clouds, Dimi wanted to take the girl back to the imperial capital as soon as possible, but the girl's "strategic plan" made him stay in the floating city for a few more days......

Using the doll given to her by the Lord of Darkness, the girl made a simple doppelgänger - the doppelgänger had to fit into the main body, which was extremely difficult to make, and among the legendary mages on the clouds, Mr. Palamedes, who was familiar with her own body, could do it. Rao is like this, and the makeshift clone is just a gray-white "puppet", except for having eyes and ears, and even the vocal organs are not done.

When Ontology and Dimi are dating everywhere, the girl who has enough mental power to multitask manipulates the doppelganger doppelgänger and enjoys herself in Mr. Palamedes' library. Even Mr. Palamedes' early manuscripts were read quite a bit.

As for resetting the books in the room, that wasn't her job......

"It's convenient for you." Mr. Palamedes looks like he thinks about his juniors.

"I can guess even if I don't need that information," the girl said calmly, "it's not that I'm waiting for you, it's you're waiting for me......"

Palamedes is undoubtedly one of the most powerful forces in the world above the clouds. However, his actions have always been very suspicious.

After the battle of pure white, a lot of things are thought about again, and the conclusion becomes completely different.

For example, like the Floating Sand City, the Black Floating City itself is a movable fortress-level power...... And it's even more powerful.

Then, Mr. Palamedes has been working hard to bring under his command the strongest arcane genius in the world above the clouds.

After that, is it John? Goth, the favorite disciple of Mr. Palamedes, once told himself, "Don't break through to the Blue Ocean Advanced, avoid entering the Legendary Realm."

Finally, there is the fact that "the sea of clouds is a living thing".

The remaining pieces of the puzzle have been obtained. Maybe other insiders are still ignorant, but for the "eternal blood" and the "bright world...... These are sufficient.

Mr. Palamedes shook his head slightly.

"Do you really think ......"

"You've decided to help us fight back against Nicholas." The girl said.

Mr. Palamedes did not speak.

"You open your a** to me," said the girl, "but I guess - you took the most important part of it beforehand?" ”

Manuscript of Mr. Palamedes...... It can be said that "imagination" has been brought to the extreme.

For the plans that could theoretically destroy the entire world above the clouds, the young Palamedes wrote several. But...... Most of them are not possible at all.

"Want to cover up?" The Lord of Darkness laughed, "You say I took what I was really planning from those whimsical piles of old papers? No, there are my manuscripts there, but they were all on my mind when I was younger, and none of them could really be implemented. ”

"Let's get straight to the point, and then open the skylight and speak brightly," said the girl, "and you've kept reminding me to keep my imagination alive." You have turned one of your imaginations into reality, and all the Elrios mages are against your reckless attempt. Yes, most of those plans from your teenage years are not viable, but there is one ...... You've already tried it. ”

"Go on."

"'Let your soul enter the sea of clouds and thus seize its resources'. According to official Elrios, you launched this plan at one time...... And then it failed. ”

"You think I have another improved version of that plan?" The Lord of Darkness said gently, "No, I don't think about it anymore. ”

"If it weren't for another ** master who did the same thing as you, you might have succeeded," the girl said slowly, "Thank you for your information, let me know this secret." ”

"Even if I don't reveal it, in the future, as the highest level of the empire, you will understand."

"You're betting your bet on another plan. But to this day, you still haven't made up your mind. However, as long as you are a disciple, sooner or later you will notice this. First of all, Goth...... And then you didn't hide it from Simon either......"

"You speak as if you already know my whole thoughts."

"I don't understand the details, but there is a rough estimate." The girl said. Among the many wonderful ideas left by the Lord of Black in the study, there were a few genius mages who thought about it, but the young Lord of the Black did not mention it, and the girl suspected that before she visited the study, the Lord of Black removed these brain holes that might transform reality from the study.

"What I don't understand is this: Nicholas is pretty sure you can't stop his aggression. He's right, the battle of pure white until the end, you have no sign of a shot. And by my reckoning, your 'other plan' is enough for Nicholas...... It poses a great threat to any legendary spellcaster in the clouds. ”

The Lord of Darkness was silent.

"You should understand that this is our last chance," said the maiden, "and the remnants of the Empire and Elrios are about to fight this last battle with Nicholas. If you plan to continue to hide your ...... When Nicholas unifies the world above the clouds, how will you deal with yourself? ”

"Shake my hand." The Lord of Darkness said suddenly.

"What?" The girl who wanted to get more support from the Lord of Darkness didn't react for a while.

"Shake my hand." The Lord of Darkness said calmly.

The girl looked directly into the eyes of the Lord of Darkness. The middle-aged mage's expression was gentle, and his eyes flashed with reason.

So the girl held out her hand to the Lord of Darkness. The two held hands together. This was the first time the girl had touched the body of the Black Lord.

"You ......" at that moment, the girl understood everything.

"I will tell you what I know," said the Lord of the Dark, leisurely, "and the new Emperor of the Empire, it is up to you to decide what you want. ”
