Compared to Yulie's death in an instant, Genio's death was far more tragic.

Countless sharp arrows pierced his body and lay on the ground like a hedgehog, one of which was stuck directly into his mouth, but even so, Genio did not die immediately. He convulsed for minutes in unimaginable pain before slowly dying. But he didn't blink, his eyes widened, staring straight at the rainy sky. Blood seeped into the rain and snaked on the ground, and everywhere they went, the soldiers moved out of the way, determined not to touch the blood of the princes.

The bloody civil war that broke out in the ancient empire has finally come to an end. In the final battle of the storm, no soldiers or civilians died, only two princes, the two instigators of the civil war.

All the obstacles in the way to regain imperial power have finally been cleared, and Ipeia has returned to her throne with an unchallenged authority, even though it belongs to hers. And I don't know if it was because of a coincidence or if the heavens were also congratulating Ipeya on her victory, and the violent storm ended earlier than expected.

In the aftermath of the storm, people rushed to the streets, not only to repair the city that had been destroyed by the storm, but also to celebrate the return of Her Majesty the Empress and the end of the civil war.

During the period when the three princes were in power and in the opposition, they fought openly and secretly, and they all spared no effort to recruit manpower in the officialdom and the people, and worked hard to expand their own power, so that the government affairs were dark and all industries withered, and the officials were eager to choose sides, and no one really cared about the lives of the small people, and the people were miserable and complained.

Now that the three princes who have been in power have fallen one after another, people are pinning their hopes on Empress Ipeia, who presents herself with a fresh, refined, beautiful and gentle image, believing that she can finally set things right, bring the country back on the right track, and give the people a way to live.

In addition, now that everyone in the imperial capital knows and knows about it, Her Majesty the Empress has become a dragon knight. You must know that throughout the ages, the number of dragon knights is extremely rare, even if they are descendants of the Zhuogen royal family, they may not be able to get the favor of the golden dragon clan, but Empress Ipeiya has been recognized by the golden dragon clan and concluded a contract with her, indicating that she must be the hope of the future of the empire, as long as she follows the path of Her Majesty the Empress, it is a broad road that will never be wrong.

For this reason, as soon as efforts were made to rebuild their homeland, it was decided that the upcoming "Red Moon Mica Festival", a very important festival in the history of the Rocard Empire, would take to the streets together for large crowds** and celebrations to express their excitement at the removal of the three "cancers" and their love for Empress Ipeia.

......

As the days passed, the celebration of the "Red Moon Mica Festival" was getting closer and closer, however, as the protagonist of the celebration, Empress Ipeia's smile on her face became less and less. Although the Empress was still able to easily entertain with her usual gentle smile in the face of the smiling nobles in those daily routine banquets, the henchmen who served by Her Majesty's side could feel that Ipeia seemed to be more and more preoccupied.

Now, with half an hour to go, the very important "Red Moon Mica Festival" is about to begin, but Empress Ipaya is still in the "Imperial Gallery" of the palace, in front of the portrait of her father, the Great Mashigang, thoughtful. Even though Prince Harun, who had just walked out, had reminded her that the celebration was about to begin, Ipaya still showed no signs of moving.

"Are you scared?"

The old voice suddenly sounded behind Ipeya.

"Nope. Ipeia replied calmly.

She was not frightened by the sudden voice, she knew who was talking and knew that this person was always by her side.

"Then why are you distracted?" the voice sounded again.

At this moment, the space behind Ipeia distorted, and a rickety old woman appeared behind Ipeia out of thin air, her feet dangling in the air, floating in mid-air more than 30 centimeters above the ground, so that her already shrunken body looked as tall as Ipeia.

"Not being in a state of mind is not the same as being afraid. It's just that I'm not in a good state of mind at this time. ”

"Don't be stubborn, you can't fool me. This is what you look like when you feel scared, and it has never changed from before to now. ”

As if the other party had said it, Ipeia was silent and didn't reply again.

After a while, she said slowly, "Fudilokaya, please do me another favor." ”

"You're talking about the human guy named 'Ray' who is being held in the VIP hall?"

"Yes. I need him to incarnate in dragon form again. ”

"Nope. I can't do it anymore. ”

"Fudi Rokaya, I have always thought that your fairy dragon clan has the most powerful mental control ability, and you can easily control even the real dragons that are fake, let alone humans who have only temporarily obtained the power of the dragon clan?"

"I'm not saying I can't control that human boy anymore, it's just that I don't want to do it anymore. ”

"Don't you want to do that? Didn't you say you'd go out of your way to help me?"

"I'm here for you, too. ”

"What?"

"You know. The human boy had already turned into a half-dragon, and although I could use the magic to control the person and force him to transform into a dragon form, the magic generated by the human and dragon bodies was mutually exclusive, and if I used this unreasonable control too often, it could cause him permanent damage. ”

"I know it's not fair to him for no reason, but to do something big, you have to sacrifice. I will do my best to make up for what I owe to that boy, but only after the dust settles. ”

"Alas......" Fudilokaya sighed with a long sigh, full of helplessness and regret, "For more than 3,000 years, I have not been staying in an abandoned city underground, but in my travels around the world, I have reached the far eastern continent, where I have come into contact with a philosophy called 'Buddha'. I think there is a truth in Buddhism that is very true: what you planted in the past will reap the results in the future. Karma, the cycle of heaven, don't do any more evil, you won't have good results in the future. ”

Hearing Fudirokaya say this, Ipeia was silent for a while, then shook her head, and sighed faintly, "Fudilokaya, you have changed. ”

"No, I'm just old and haven't changed. On the contrary, it is you who have changed. ”

"I ...... Has it changed? Yes. After experiencing betrayal, people will change. ”

"I know. The reason you change, and your motivation to do it at any cost, is not because of hatred, but because of some kind of belief that makes you feel like you have to do it. I don't know what the reason for this belief was to give you, but I do know that it certainly won't be the secret society that exudes a very uncomfortable atmosphere inside and out. Anyway, how long are you going to stay in that secret society? I know you're not willing to do something for them. Listen to my advice, and get out of them before you are in the middle of it. ”

"I've got my own measure, Vodilokaya, but I said it would be after the dust settles on this stage. ”

"Okay. I said I would spare no effort to help you, whatever decision you make, just as you and I did more than 3,000 years ago when we first made the contract. ”

With that, the figure of the mysterious old woman Fudirokaya faded and disappeared into the air, leaving only the preoccupied Ipeya to stay where she was, contemplating the portrait of her deceased father.

"The Society of Truth can make Fudirokaya feel uncomfortable......" Ipeia looked up and asked the Emperor Mascoon in the portrait, "karma?
