As a last resort, Ivan withdrew the ghost energy that was running all over his body, injected all of it into the flame protocore, and combined with the continuous charging of the Void Engine, he barely managed to contain the counterattack of the nightmare breath.

"This nightmare breath has restrained ninety percent of my strength......"

He slowly lowered the hand covering his heart, then stood still, gently closed his eyes, and straightened his arm into the air in front of him, and the metal pit line on his arm suddenly flowed again. This stream of light was much dimmer compared to before, and there was also a subtle stiffness between the movements.

Evan briefly estimated that with the current speed of digestion, it would take at least three years for him to completely subdue this force. And in the process, his strength will also be affected, not to mention fighting with all his strength, even a little use of ghost energy will be very uncomfortable.

"In my physical condition, I'm no longer fit to fight. ”

He thought about it for a while, and decided to go back to Ekhtadon to recuperate first, anyway, his application to study abroad should almost have an answer, if he can succeed, he can just digest this power in the safest place.

......

When Ivan returned to his original form, put on his clothes and left the gap, the morning sun had quietly risen to the top of the mountain. The pale golden light is combed by the branches and leaves, drawing clear lines, scattered on the ground in a zigzag, like the lace of a gauze skirt, with soft curves and elasticity.

"It's nice to have no smog. ”

He smiled as he looked at the town that had come back to life.

Seeing that Evan had finally left the rift, the Templar Witcher, who had been on the ground and kept on guard, stepped forward quickly, took out a palm-sized piece of paper from his bosom, and handed it to him:

"Your Majesty, your letter. ”

"My letter?"

Evan glanced at the other party, directly tore open the envelope, and after the content of the letter was printed into his field of vision, his expression changed several times, and finally fixed on his contemplative expression.

“......”

Seeing that his expression was complicated and his curiosity was stirring, the witcher still kept silent and returned to his post, very sensible and didn't ask anything.

"Prepare your mount, I'm going back to Ekhtatun. ”

He crumpled the letter in his hand, and after watching the confetti scatter like flocculents, he commanded.

......

The city of Ekhtatun in the middle of the lake, the temple of Hades.

At 10 p.m., a summer night party was ready, with fine white flowers blooming on the evergreens of the tree-like trees, and a unique incense filling the cool air. The goddess of spring water in the cistern spits out a clear spring with a water bottle, and the green grass spreads along the gentle terrace.

Waiters walked through the crowd with trays in hand, and the wine in the cups was crystal clear, reflecting the light moonlight. Accompanied by their mothers, young men in delicate dresses greet Xia Li in long dresses one by one, and show shy and admiring eyes.

Since most of the boys and Charlie are meeting each other for the first time, each of them tries to perform at their best and try to make the best impression on each other. The demeanor, tone, and facial expressions of speech have been repeatedly rehearsed, and they are skilled enough to appear on the singing and dancing party.

However, in the face of the overtures of so many aristocratic teenagers, Xia Li always half-lay in her seat, maintaining a lazy sitting posture, and did not even have a false smile on her face, but directly had an expression of interest.

But no matter how cold and lazy the queen is, the enthusiasm of the teenagers has never diminished, and there is a kind of persistence in melting the iceberg with tenderness.

The reason for all this is an edict that Queen Eru Lomme announced to the ministers in the palace a few days ago - her sister, Hades, Charlie, will not follow the custom of royal marriage, but will choose husbands from among the best noble children.

Tonight's banquet is a 'friendship party' she arranged for Xia Li.

......

This incident is a great opportunity for most aristocratic teenagers to climb to the sky. Even if you don't talk about actual rights, it is a great honor to be able to infuse that noble blood into the family bloodline, so it is understandable that the nobles of the family are so enthusiastic.

Of course, Xia Li herself is a million unwilling, the perfect lover in her heart has long had a standard template - if she can't marry the royal family, won't she never have a chance with him?

But her arms can't twist her thighs, Xia Li can't disobey Eru Lomei's will, so she can only choose to treat it negatively, but the enthusiasm of the aristocratic young man is like fire and the number is huge, which makes her a little difficult to deal with.

Just when Xia Li was anxious, a figure riding a chocobo broke into the banquet, and the unique birdsong even overshadowed the music, and everyone turned their heads sideways to look over.

"Yo!

The knight jumped off the bird's back, threw off the reins, and allowed the chocobo to stand behind him with its head tilted.

At this moment, a gust of evening wind blew, and he pulled off the black cloak on his body, and the cloak that shook with the air flow rolled like a battle flag, and strode towards everyone.

This black boy shocked everyone in the audience, because he was dressed in a murderous outfit, the silver arm guards were polished and shiny, the saber at his waist was cold, and the high-top leather boots added a majestic aura to the originally not very tall boy. He stood at the bottom of the steps, his head up, the moonlight reflected in his dark pupils.

"Brother Ivan!"

Xia Li recognized her for the first time, like a little rabbit who saw the owner, jumped out of the seat in surprise, rushed out of the embrace of the aristocratic boy, jumped directly out of the steps, and threw herself into the arms of the other party.

"It's really grown up. ”

Evan gently caught the priest girl, held it in his arms, and walked up the steps step by step, his eyes were like the cold light of the sword out of the sheath for a moment, and he looked around sharply:

"My sister isn't going to get married in the near future, so come back in a few years. ”

"This wedding dinner, but Your Majesty's meaning!"

At this time, a middle-aged nobleman stood up and said in an accentuated tone.

“......”

Hearing this, Evan turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and threw a beam of telekinesis directly at him.

"Ugh!"

The nobleman who had just spoken fell on his back, fell straight to the ground, and fell into a coma.

When the nobles saw this scene, their faces turned pale, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, avoiding his gaze with side faces, revealing expressions that dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"I'll make this clear to her, so let's leave first. Evan looked up and unceremoniously gave the order to evict the guest again.

What the cheap cousin thinks, can he still be unclear?

Isn't it just that I'm afraid that Xia Li will be used by someone with a heart and threaten his status one day!

Therefore, as long as she marries a man without royal blood, it is equivalent to falling into dust, and there is no legal reason to touch the throne of the Sun King.
