"Your Majesty Rhodes."

Soon after the meeting, Rhodes saw Lydia come forward, looking at him with a puzzled look.

"............... about this matter"

"Don't ask me, I don't know what Lillian thinks."

In the face of Lydia's inquiry, Rod also helplessly spread his hands and looked at the archangel in front of him, in fact, not to mention Lydia, even Rod felt extremely confused. I don't know what Lillian realized in the previous ritual of the goddess of light, anyway, at the end of the outing, after returning to Grantia, she called Lydia over, and then gave Lydia the right to rule the entire country of light in front of everyone, while she retreated into the background and never cared about it again. This sudden change naturally surprised Lydia, and not only that, but even Rod was extremely surprised, not knowing what medicine Lilian had taken wrong. He also noticed that after the ritual of the goddess of light, Lilian had changed a lot. If she was still a little confused before, then after communicating with the Goddess of Light, Lilian's original confusion and anxiety were swept away. This used to make Rhodes quite relieved, after all, Lillian has strength, but her mentality has always been forward-looking, which always gives people a feeling of not being at ease. Originally, Rod thought that Lillian would be angry after completing the ceremony this time, but he didn't expect her to just pick a son and quit!? Could it be that he was hit by the goddess of light to the point that he didn't deserve to be a dragon of light, so he simply gave up on himself? But looking at the little guy's "positive" attitude to life every day, it has nothing to do with self-abandonment?

However, it doesn't seem right to say that he didn't do it, and after that, Rhodes also talked to Lillian, and it turned out that Lillian hadn't completely abandoned her duties. Instead, she simply gave up the right to "rule the Land of Light" and chose to concentrate on following Rhodes as a small henchman——— according to Lillian's words. She wants to be like Christie and Rasti and help Rhodes resist Chaos' onslaught.

It's nice to learn Christie, but Rashtie's ............ It's better to be free.

To put it mildly, Lilian is like the kind of goddess who hides behind the scenes in those cartoons, and never shows up to guide the brave to victory unless her world is at a critical juncture. Doesn't that sound right?

Whatever the case was, in short, Lydia replaced Lillian as the ruler of the Land of Light under this inexplicable circumstance. Although Lydia instinctively refused at first, Lillian suppressed Lydia's opinion with a force that she had never been able to do before, and as a result, the archangel could only obey Lillian's orders and become the de facto ruler of the entire Land of Light. In a way, Lydia's mood is also very complicated, and she has always hoped that Lillian can break free from the constraints and bravely make her own decisions. It's just that now Lillian is really free. And I made a decision from the heart, but the decision itself......... It's kind of intriguing.

"To be honest, I really don't understand what Her Majesty Lillian is thinking..............."

Lydia pressed her forehead, a little anxious and tired on her face, it is no wonder that becoming the de facto ruler of the Land of Light means that she is not only optimistic about her own one-third of an acre of land, but also responsible for the entire Land of Light. Although it is said that after two previous wars with the Dark Dragon Nation and the Void Lord. The Land of Light has been devastated, and its people are exhausted by the constant chaos of war and death. They only hope to live a peaceful and stable life, and they don't care who the ruler is. At this time, even if the devil sits in that position, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, then the people of the Land of Light will sincerely regard him as the master of the Land of Light.

In this case, it is not difficult for Lydia to take over the Land of Light, although some people have expressed dissatisfaction. But what kind of person is Lydia. When she was in Moon, she had cleaned up the reformers through two struggles, and now she was even more comfortable with these guys. Merely......... Lydia still resents the increase in her workload. Although she is a wise monarch, she has nothing to do with the fact that she has nothing to do with her hard work and then dies——— she is a hedonist.

But it is a pity that the situation is so critical now. Even if Lydia doesn't dare to sit in the back and watch the play as leisurely as before, but has to deal with everything by herself, this makes her quite depressed. Fortunately, with Sonia by her side, Lydia sorted out the affairs at hand in an orderly manner, so that there was no big mess in the early days when Lydia took over the Land of Light, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened.

Anyway, now Lydia has to do what she wants to do, and she has to do what she doesn't want to do.

"In that case, it seems that I can only continue to do it, I hope this time the matter can be finished soon..............."

Lydia also knew that Rhodes probably wouldn't be able to help, but she was really depressed. Lydia, the conscience of heaven and earth, was not interested in this position at all. Otherwise, with her strength, she would have made Lilian a puppet a long time ago, and then sent troops to destroy the Council of Light, and then blackmailed the Son of Heaven to make the princes rule the entire Kingdom of Light. As a result, she didn't expect that she hadn't done it yet, but Lillian pushed the power and responsibility behind her, and then happily ran to the rear to be a puppet.

"How's Her Majesty Liliane doing?"

"Not bad."

Reflecting on Lilian's recent performance, Rhodes smiled helplessly, and during this time, Lilian began to learn how to fight with Christie. I have to admit that the little guy is indeed quite talented in combat, although I don't know how the actual combat is, but according to the canary and Maribel who trained them, Lilian's combat ability is obviously in the steady rise, at least there will be no more things like before that when they are accidentally bitten and eroded by chaos.

"Yes......... Anyway, Her Majesty Lillian has found her way, and I should congratulate her. ”

Although the expression on Lydia's face was completely indistinguishable as "congratulating" Lilian, it did not prevent the archangel from reluctantly saying these routine words as if reading the lines. But Rhodes didn't think there was anything wrong with such an archangel, and in fact, Lydia was indeed qualified to complain.

The offensive of Chaos began to become more frequent.

In the beginning. They were only sporadic attacks, but as time passed, more and more Chaos Monsters crossed the vague and distorted boundaries of order and entered the Dragon Soul Continent. Although Rhodes had sent his 30,000 elite players to seal off most of the area, Chaos' attack was still unchecked, and numbers were their most advantageous talents and weapons, even if they eliminated as many Chaos monsters as they spent. There are also countless Chaos Monsters lining up to come to the door to die. Moreover, since there is no concept of death, it is difficult for the chaotic army to have the concept of "rout", either destroy them all or be wiped out by them all, and now everyone is facing such a difficult situation,

And what gives Rod a headache is that although it has been so many days. However, the whereabouts of the Book of Elements have not been found.

Without the Book of Elements, it would be impossible to awaken the last three Holy Sword Elves, and in this way, naturally there would be no way to create an enchantment that was enough to protect the entire Dragon Soul Continent, and could only be consumed and tug-of-war as it was now. But the people in the Dragon Soul Continent are limited after all, especially the people who can fight against Chaos. If Rhodes can embody all the people in his guild, then he can withstand the attack of Chaos. It's a pity that even with Rhodes' strength, he can only manifest 30,000 people at most. Of course, he can also ask his sister to help him manifest more projection players. But it doesn't work. Because when teleporting the Dragon Soul Continent, it is necessary to have the power of the Void Dragon to open the passage. If both Rhodes and his sister disperse their strength. Then they don't have enough strength to open the plane passage, let alone teleport the Dragon Soul Continent.

But......... If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the defensive line is closed.

"We have calculated that if we can't find any other way to resist Chaos, I'm afraid that in half a month at most, we will be forced to withdraw from the first layer of defense."

Hear Marlene's report. Rhodes frowned, it seemed that the biggest problem now was still in the Book of Elements.

"Still haven't found the Book of Elements?"

Due to the urgency of the situation, Rhodes did not choose to keep it secret. So even Lydia knew that Rhodes was looking for an artifact called the Book of Elements, and this book was an important part of the fight against Chaos. It's just that this time Rod's luck is really bad, although he has asked the elf queen and Leo more than once about the progress, but neither side seems to have any clues. However, it is not completely without gains, that is, when the elf queen asked some elven elders, she did get news about the Book of Elements, and several elven elders who were born at the end of the Creation War and survived to the present day have indeed seen the Book of Elements, but the Book of Elements seems to have been taken away by some elves after that.

Hearing this news, Rhodes was naturally overjoyed, he even took Angelin to a trip to the dark region in person, and then used all kinds of incomparable violence to finally pry out some information from the dark elves of several ancient families who were very strict——— their ancestors had indeed seen the Book of Elements, but before the ancestors of these black elves left the surface, the Book of Elements seemed to have been taken away...............

Well, the only definite conclusion Rhodes has now reached is that the Book of Elements was indeed taken by a group of elves. But unfortunately, this group of elves does not seem to be the elves living on the main plane in front of them, nor are they those dark elves who have taken refuge underground because of the war, so, is it an alchemy elf?

"Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Rhodes, I have found the Ancestors' account of the Book of Elements!"

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but at this time, with a cheerful voice, Labis's figure appeared in front of Rod's eyes. And hearing Labis's words, Rod's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a new hope had resurfaced.

"Really? Labis? ”

"That's right, Mr. Rhodes, according to the records of our ancestors, we of the Belchems have indeed seen the Book of the Elements!"

"Where?!"

"This ..............."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Labis was stunned for a moment, and then with a slightly strange expression, she hesitantly gave an answer.

"This ...... Lost ............"

“………………………”

According to Labis, she did find the Book of Elements in the records of Belchemus' ancestors. What made Rod excited was that at that time, Berghems did have the idea of taking away the Book of Elements, after all, the alchemy elves evolved by transforming themselves, so the power of the Book of Elements was naturally very important to them. It's just a pity that ......... When they were about to take the Book of the Elements, they found that the Book of the Elements had been taken away by the other elves.

Those "other people's elves" are really annoying.

Hearing Labis's report, Rhodes was almost angry and wanted to find those guys and beat them to death. It's just luckily. Labis's side wasn't in vain. According to her, after the Belchems clan noticed the loss of the Elemental Book, they did not put it aside like the Moon Elves and the Black Elves, but immediately sent people to chase after them, after all, the Elemental Book has a considerable effect on the plans of the Belchemus Clan, and they are naturally unwilling to let it fall into the hands of outsiders. In the end, the Berchems did catch up with the elves, and the two sides fought a fierce battle. However, the Belchems are not a race that is good at fighting, and after a crushing defeat in a battle, they can only watch as the victor opens a portal with the Book of Elements and leaves this world...............

Left this world...............

In Rhodes' opinion. This is the only and most valuable piece of information the Belchems have ever had about the Book of Elements. Since they have failed, it means that the Book of Elements should not have been destroyed, but "left this world" in the literal sense of the word. Although the Belchems clan is scum in terms of combat effectiveness, they are still quite talented in magic technology, compared to just seeing where the other party has gone at a glance, so where will the Book of Elements be taken?

There are so many elven branches on the Dragon Soul Continent. The Moon Elves are on the surface and the Black Elves are underground. Belchems is on the verge of extinction. And the elven race other than them, is it ...............

Thinking of this, Rod's eyes suddenly lit up.

If it is really what you think, then this sentence in the record of the ancestors of Belhemmes can determine its true meaning, and that is............... Thinking of this, Rod raised his eyebrows. He asked.

"Labis, are you sure that's what the record says?"

"That's right, Mr. Rhodes."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Labis nodded vigorously.

Indeed, it is written in the records of the ancestors. After defeating our ancestors of Belchems, they opened the portal and left this world with the Book of Elements. ”

“…………… I know. ”

Hearing this, Rod nodded, and then he stood up and walked out of the study. This sudden movement made Labis a little strange, but she also packed up all the information she had brought over, and then curiously followed Rhodes out of the room.

Rhodes wasn't going to a far-flung place, on the contrary, he just walked around Grandia's palace and quickly found his goal.

At this moment, in front of Rod, Agamell was standing respectfully in the corridor not far away. Even though the current situation had begun to become chaotic, the sea elf's face was still flat and expressionless. She just stood there quietly doing her job as a maid. As far as the eye can see, you can see the tentacles of the sea elf girl's lower body squirming, rolling up the mop and rag to carefully and carefully wipe the corridor in front of her. As a sea elf, I have to admit that Agamell is still very responsible. It's just that looking at the sea elf in front of him, Rhodes feels that his mood is a little complicated, and he always has a hunch that if he asks her this question, then he is likely to make himself a fool. It's just that now, considering the future of the Dragon Soul Continent and his entire plan, Rhodes feels that it is not a big deal to lose face a little. Thinking of this, he coughed awkwardly. Hearing his voice, Agarve turned around and looked at Rhodes curiously, while respectfully stopping what she was doing.

"Master, what do you command?"

"There's one thing I want to ask you, Agame, and I hope you'll give me a definite answer."

"Okay, of course no problem, master."

Although Rod's voice was serious, the head sea elf maid only nodded, and the expression on that face still did not change in the slightest. Seeing Agapy's expression, Rhodes took a deep breath, and then, he stared at the sea elf and asked.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Book of Elements?"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Ajavi was stunned for a moment, and then, she immediately nodded.

"Of course, master, in fact, the Book of Elements is in the Water Elemental Realm."

At this moment, Rhodes felt that he was indeed a fool. (To be continued......)
