"The crystal at that time, was it your thing? I've seen Beria use the same thing before. Taking advantage of the silence between the two sides, Zhu Xingzhen opened his mouth to break the dull atmosphere and asked the empress in front of him about the mysterious crystal, wanting to solve the doubts in his heart.

Hearing this, the empress casually spread her palm, and a brilliant amethyst slowly appeared with a dreamlike luster, at first glance this crystal seemed to be just a beautiful ornament, but having personally experienced how difficult Belial was to rise in a straight line after fusing it, the stars really did not underestimate the power contained in this crystal at all.

"This is a specialty of the Empire - a high-energy crystal, and you who have defeated Beria should know its power well." The Empress threw the amethyst to Zhu Xingzhen, thought for a moment and added, "You can also use dark energy, right?" I'll give this to you. ”

Although this high-grade amethyst is also precious in the empire, it is dispensable in the eyes of the empress, even if it can answer Zhuxingzhen's question, it can also be regarded as a reward for Zhuxingzhen to bring her to this planet to heal.

After receiving the amethyst, Zhu Xingzhen carefully felt the huge energy and complex structure contained in the crystal, and the strange characteristics of slowly absorbing energy from all around to grow itself made Zhu Xingzhen surprised, but he did not ignore the information revealed in the empress's words.

"You helped Beria?" Although the words were questionable, Zhu Xingzhen's tone was very affirmative.

"Help?" Hearing Zhu Xingzhen's words, the empress's expression suddenly became a little indifferent, and her golden eyes looked directly at Zhu Xingzhen with extreme calmness, "No, that's just a use, I just want to know how strong you can exert at that time, that's all." ”

The empress's unpretentious and generous admission was a bit unexpected by Zhu Xingzhen, and the cold expression and indifferent gaze made Zhu Xingzhen feel that the girl in front of her seemed to have changed in the blink of an eye, and there was a world of difference from the simple girl just now, which made Zhu Xing really feel a little uncomfortable.

"Why, do you have to go to such great lengths to test my strength?" Zhu Xingzhen didn't show much anger at the situation where the empress helped Belial, because even with the intervention of the crystal, Zhu Xingzhen defeated Belial just a little more time, and it was not a deep grudge.

"Don't you think it's interesting?" The empress's indifferent face showed a hint of interest, "Two warriors who belong to the same country of light who made the same mistake fought after they took different paths and finally met~ But judging from the results, you have to be better than Beria." ”

"So, who are you?" Playing with the mysterious crystal in his hand, Zhu Xingzhen asked the question he wanted to know the most, who was the girl with the mysterious crystal in front of him.

"The former master of the Empire." The empress's voice still calmly answered Zhu Xingzhen's question.

"Where's the name?" After waiting for a while to see that the empress did not continue to add to the idea, Zhu Xingzhen had to make additional inquiries, and at the same time felt a little strange in his heart, how could anyone introduce themselves without saying their names...

"You can call me 'Your Majesty' as they do."

"I'm asking your own name..."The answer given by the empress in a calm tone made Zhu Xingzhen feel powerless for a while, and he could only ask the question again in detail.

"The name... My own... Name..."Zhu Xingzhen's words seemed to stimulate the frosty empress, but at this moment, the pupils in her eyes began to become dilated, as if she was caught in the pain of memories and couldn't extricate herself...

------------------------------- dusty memories------------------------------

The empress had her deepest memory in her mind, the man who appeared in front of her with the light in the unchanging dark space, and the gentle eyes quickly soothed the loneliness in the girl's heart...

The man gently stroked the girl's long inky hair, and since that day the man has been called her father, and the girl at that time thought that this was her father's affection for her, but since then, the word 'princess' has become synonymous with her.

No one had ever told her what her name was, as they all called the girl Princess.

'My one-of-a-kind princess, my father can give you everything in the universe, no matter what the father can do, he can send it to you by any means! 'Looking at the sky where the empire is forever shrouded in darkness, the man who is revered as the emperor makes his promise to the girl in his arms, and the girl just looks at him with a vague understanding, and then smiles sweetly...

'You don't have a mother!!!' You will never be allowed to bring it up again! The solemn hall reverberated with her father's angry roar, and the bewildered girl could only cry and be taken out of the hall by the mechanical guards.

'I have given you everything, why should you choose to betray me, betray your father. Faced with the initiator of the mutiny in front of him, the emperor sat alone on the throne and looked down condescendingly at the girl, the same golden eyes with indescribable calm, waiting for the girl's answer.

"Father~" The girl shouted affectionately in the sweet voice that the man on the throne loved, "I, am I really your daughter?" And you, are you really my father? ”

The girl's hands were lightly raised, and the soft white light formed a ball of light on the empress's hand, "Such a pure light, such a me... Mixed with impure me... Is it really your daughter? The girl pinched the ball of light in her hand and looked at the man who was still high with a sad expression, "Answer me!! Am I a 'princess who shouldn't exist'!! ”

The hysterical questioning of the "......" girl made the emperor on the throne speechless, and in the end, she was only silent...

-------------------------------- mind returns------------------------------

"That kind of thing... It didn't exist in the first place...", the blind-eyed Empress muttered to herself, and although her voice was small, she was still caught by Zhu Xingzhen.

"What did you say?" But despite hearing the empress's murmuring, Zhu Xingzhen still couldn't understand the meaning of her words, and at this time, the empress suddenly became a little painful!

"I hate you! Yes, I hate you more than anyone else! The empress who was trapped in memories could no longer control her emotions, and the spiritual power that the empress had lost was suddenly invaded by corrosive energy, which made the already weak empress mentally disordered again, clinging to the clothes of the stars and muttering nonsense.

The pain temporarily stopped by the Tut special medicine began to erode the empress's spirit again, and this unbearable pain for ordinary people seemed to be the source of the empress's hatred at this moment, and the empress, who was already in chaos, just kept repeating the words, and her pale face showed the weakness of her master at this time...

Silently looking at the girl who couldn't stand the pain and fell asleep again, Zhu Xingzhen didn't know what to say about the girl in her arms now, so she could only pick her up and put her back on the stone bed.

After placing the sleeping empress, Zhu Xingzhen turned around and walked out of the room, just in time to meet Rachel, who was delivering medicine to the empress after visiting Sori.

And Rachel, who was holding the medicine, saw the empress who had fallen asleep again at a glance, and she felt strange and immediately asked Zhu Xingzhen: "Mr. Zhen, what is this?" ”

"It's okay, she's just too tired, I'll leave it to you next..."Zhu Xingzhen didn't give Rachel a chance to ask, and directly staggered around Rachel and walked out of the house, leaving Rachel standing outside the door with the medicine in her hand...

----------------------------- dividing lines-------------------------------

The sunlight shining from the cave at the top of the mountain began to fade into the starry night sky and the faint white moonlight, but the atmosphere in the gathering place at this time was quite lively.

Since Rachel, who was the patriarch, personally led the chief's guards out to find food, the Tuts in the gathering place in the evening began a festive bonfire, meaning to thank Gaddir for his gifts to the Tuts.

But even though it was a party, the scale was quite small, but the food used for the party was just the dinner of all the clans in the gathering place that night...

Still, the atmosphere of the bonfire was quite lively, and every Tut, young and old, cheered and reveled in the last gathering place of almost seclusion, which was a rare moment of relaxation.

The Tut children ran around the gathering place cheering, while old men like Elder Garcia sat happily and watched with satisfaction as the younger generation relaxed their nerves in this tense moment.

Now the entire Tut clan has gathered in the open space to start tonight's party, and even the injured Solri has recovered most of the injuries on his body with the unique physique of his Ott clan, and what originally caused his injury was the reverse riot of M87 energy, and as a user, Soli was naturally able to reorganize this M87 energy that has not yet become a climate, mainly because he was thrown by the rock of King Red in his chest, which is the key to Solri's injury.

So now it can be said that except for the sleeping empress, the people in the entire gathering place have gathered together to enjoy this rare lively atmosphere.

.....

Just when everyone in the Tut tribe was enjoying themselves, there was a sudden violent vibration in the wasteland not too far from the gathering place, and with the vibration breaking through the surface of the earth, what appeared from the ground was a giant beast that had fled the scene after fighting Sero during the day!

Skeleton Monster - King Red!

At this moment, King Red was in a very violent mood, just after it got out of the ground, it began to destroy aimlessly, constantly beating the rocks around it with both hands, the expression on his face and the hoarse cry of roaring seemed quite painful, and under the earthy yellow skin on its abdomen, there seemed to be something squirming wildly, as if it wanted to get rid of the invisible shackles that bound it...
