CHAPTER XVI

Carrying the puppy cub back to the Tower of Quicksand, Jincheng found that the wounded soldiers were holding on to the door, one by one, ready for battle.

"What's going on?" Jin Cheng was stunned.

"Master Mystic, where's the giant wolf?"

"You drove it away?"

The soldiers asked, and it took a long time for Jin Cheng to figure out what the soldiers meant, they had taken the Emperor of Light as an accomplice to the giant black wolf that attacked them.

"You admit that you are mistaken, the Emperor of Light is the master of the Endless Sea, and he will never harm humans." Jin Cheng said helplessly, and by the way, he also asked about the situation of the black giant wolf.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and recounted the situation of the previous days.

The ranks of the Endless Sea they entered were large and stationed beyond the distant oasis. The dead current Earl of Prohey, the elder brother of Ella, left behind a group of soldiers to protect Ella, and launched an attack on the sandfolk of the distant oasis with a large army.

It was a one-sided massacre, the Earl's army had inflicted heavy losses on the sandfolk of the distant oasis, who were no match for these elite soldiers, and they had no idea how the kind-hearted and generous descendants of King Ador, who had been so friendly in the past, would suddenly kill and be defeated immediately and unprepared.

Count Prohei's goal was to kill them all, so he chased the escaping sandmen into a distant oasis.

It was only half an hour before the Count's army was routed from the distant oasis, chasing a ferocious black wolf.

"The giant wolf is so powerful that he overtook the soldiers and the count, killed them all, and then attacked us."

"It's a good thing to have Lord Valk and Master Locke here."

"Otherwise......"

The soldiers were still terrified when they recalled that day, and they all had frightened expressions on their faces.

Jin Cheng remembered for no reason what the Emperor of Light said about the demon at the bottom of the tree, could it be that the black giant wolf had something to do with the demon at the bottom of the tree? But I've never heard of a story about the Endless Sea that has a demon at the bottom of the tree......

couldn't understand the relationship, so Jin Cheng could only let go of this matter first, pacified the soldiers, and returned upstairs.

The mechanical puppet delivering the meal was rejected by Ella again, and Kaneshiro sighed and knocked on the door.

"Miss Ella, it's me."

"Kim?" Ella's weak voice came through the door, "Come in." ”

Grab the food and enter the room, which is the largest room in the Tower of Quicksand, with a large windowsill. At this moment, Ella was standing in front of the windowsill, staring blankly into the distance.

"Miss Ella, you need something to eat."

Putting the food on the table, the puppy that Jin Cheng was holding in his other hand seemed to smell the fragrance of the food, suddenly woke up from his sleep, fluttered and broke free of Jin Cheng's hand, jumped on the table and arched into the plate.

"Ahh Dog stuff, it's not for you to eat! Jin Cheng hurriedly picked it up.

The puppy was suddenly unhappy, and barked whimper-whimper, glaring at Jincheng dissatisfied.

"What is this?" Hearing the movement, Ella turned her head, her originally gloomy eyes showing a little surprise, "Puppy? ”

"Actually, strictly speaking, it should be a little wolf." Kaneshiro shrugged his shoulders and told the parents of the puppy.

The little girl can never get rid of her love for small animals, especially the plush white balls of flesh like puppies. A slight smile appeared on Ella's face, which finally concealed a bleak look. She carefully took the puppy from Jincheng, held it in her arms and stroked it gently.

"It's too weak to adapt to the cold of the Northland Ice Field, nor to the heat of the Endless Sea, and the Emperor of Light wants me to take him to the south and grow up in more comfortable temperatures." Jin Cheng's explanation omitted the gambling part, but he suddenly realized that the Emperor of Light was not taking this little puppy in return.

Seem...... Just hope that Jincheng can help him raise his grandson?

"Poor boy, you must have suffered a lot, didn't you?" Ella said softly.

"Woo-woo-"

The puppy wasn't crying, but was staring at the food on the table and growling.

"Eat, eat, eat." Ella picks up the food and starts feeding the puppies.

The puppy seemed to be hungry for a long time, and devoured it, and after eating, he kept licking Ella's fingers, and it seemed to have an endless aftertaste.

"What's its name?" Ella asked.

"Name? I haven't picked it up yet. Jin Cheng shook his head and said, "It's called Niuniu?" Or the Dragon Boat Festival? ”

"These names are weird." Ella frowned, raised the puppy in front of her eyes for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's very white, let's call it Alva, in the language of ancient Augustus, it means pure and fair." ”

"Alva? Pretty good. Kaneshiro shrugged his shoulders, but he quickly sensed something was wrong.

"I love it, can you give it to me?" Ella asked suddenly.

"It's broken." Jin Cheng scolded secretly in his heart, he was reluctant to just send this little puppy cub like this, although it had a genetic disease, but it was a descendant of the Emperor of Light, and maybe it could grow into a legendary-level demonic beast.

However, Kaneshiro Kaneshiro hadn't figured out how to refuse, and Ella had already put Alva on the table.

"Forget it." The smile faded, and Ella's expression turned gloomy again, as if it was even worse than before.

"I don't know anything."

"When I returned to Prohai, I didn't even know how to support myself or how to maintain my family's expenses, and I even wanted to raise it......"

Ella's expression was like mourning, weak, powerless, and helpless, like a little girl who had not yet grown up.

"Miss Ella, Master Joshuel will help you, the ancient capital was not built in a day." Jin Cheng said an Augustian saying, "Don't worry, you can learn slowly, the glory of King Adora still needs you to inherit the vastness." ”

"But I'm just a girl, I can't do it." Ella shook her head timidly.

"Who says women can't do it?" Kaneshiro continued to persuade, "Miss Ella, do you know the Duke of the Black Rose? ”

"Duke of the Black Rose? You mean Opatra of House Clio? Ella's eyes lit up.

"That's right, isn't she a woman? She built a second mansion on Obsidian Avenue for the Clio family! Jin Cheng praised.

The Obsidian Avenue was an aristocratic district of the ancient capital and a symbol of the power of the Augustan Empire, where only the most powerful nobles were eligible.

The story of Opatra is legendary, as she was banished by the Cleo family after giving birth to an illegitimate child before she could get married. She then joined the army of the Augustian Empire, and soon rose to the rank of general, taking charge of two powerful imperial teams.

In the original timeline, the war between Opatra and Ella led to the beginning of the War of the New Monarchs, and the continent of Igu was in the midst of war in the blink of an eye. However, Opatra's base camp was on the Northland Ice Shore, and with this stable rear to provide supplies, she successfully occupied the ancient capital and put her son in the position of regent of Augustus.

Ella's army, on the other hand, was consumed by most of the battle with Opatra, and its power plummeted, and in the end, it could only rely on other forces again and again, becoming a mercenary existence. Because of this, Ella often appears on some of the larger battlefields, giving herself the title of Lava Queen.

"Can I be as powerful as the Duke of the Black Rose?" Ella said with hope.

Kaneshiro Shin said that Opatra commanded the last two powerful armies of the Augustus Empire, and you and your country motley army were slapped on the wall not long after they came into play, and they were not on the same level......

But when the words came to his lips, Jin Cheng still said against his will: "That's right, you can." ”
