When Ji Yan's gaze recovered, he felt that he was sore.

Really......

Reclining on the chair, Ji Yan set his eyes on the table.

The chair has a few tentacles stretched out and massaged on the shoulders of its owner.

Feeling the right amount of power, Ji Yan sighed a little.

Or the chair understands me.

After a short rest, he regained his strength and retrieved something from the void.

It was a brand new puppet, as if it had just left the factory, and it was still hot on it.

It lay crookedly on Ji Yan's hand, its limbs spread out.

The puppet's head is a wooden ball, and the facial features on it seem to be a child's graffiti, twisted and twisted.

The mouth is greatly hooked upward, revealing a sense of innocence.

The limbs are strung together by ropes to ensure that they do not fall off.

A toy that is very pleasing to children.

This is Ji Yan's first impression of it.

However, when the system was scanned, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Pi Roucao's Brother: This comes from a bold attempt to touch the realm of the gods and create a puppet with its own mind.

But the result was obvious, and it ended in failure.

But even if it doesn't generate its own thoughts, the doll is still impeccable.

Don't look at it as a simple puppet now, but its materials and manufacturing process have almost reached the peak of this era.

It is powered by the No. 4 Mystic Energy Core, and is made entirely of gold wood from the high mountains.

It is mainly manipulated through spiritual links, supplemented by mysterious factors.

Its strength is adjusted according to the owner's existing strength, and there is no distance limit to manipulation. ”

Ji Yan gently held it with both hands, letting his mysterious factor wander in the puppet's body.

Soon, he could feel something begging for him to respond.

After acquiescence, Ji Yan's perspective suddenly changed dramatically.

One perspective is the subject's perspective, looking at the puppet in his hand.

The other perspective is looking at the floor below.

Ji Yan seemed to have two screens to watch at the moment.

He turned the puppet's head against himself, and his main body immediately appeared in his sight.

It was an amazing experience.

Then the Mystic Factor continued to be injected, activating the No. 4 Mystic Energy Core.

Ji Yan could feel that the puppet in his hand seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and the weight was also increasing.

He then placed it on the ground.

In an instant, a body of the same height appeared in front of Ji Yan's eyes.

Fine wood grains can be seen on the body, and it seems that this change has not changed its properties.

His mind moved slightly, and the facial features on the puppet's face suddenly changed.

A familiar face suddenly appeared, it was Ji Yan himself.

And not only the face, but also the height and weight can be controlled.

This made him nod his head, it was still very convenient to use it to do some things.

It's just that it's his own strength that drags it down, resulting in it not looking very strong.

Ji Yan moved the puppet's body for a moment, then closed the eyes of the main body, and the main consciousness came here.

The feeling of refinement disappeared in an instant.

And at this moment, the shadow of a model lake walked in and collided with the puppet.

It shook its head, then looked at the body behind him through Ji Yan.

Shadow: (◎_◎)

How did there be an extra master out of thin air!

"Shadow, what's the matter with you?"

Ji Yan suddenly spoke up and asked at the confused it.

This startled the shadow, and then instantly turned into a pool of black shadows and hid in the dark, quietly staring at Ji Yan.

Seeing this, Ji Yan didn't play tricks on the stupid shadow anymore, but set his eyes on his own body.

The body opens its eyes and consciousness returns.

And the puppet also shrunk again, and when it was about to fall to the ground, it was caught by Ji Yan steadily.

He placed it on the table, turned his attention to the other side, and removed the crystal that had sealed the flames.

The five cracks on it were extremely eye-catching on the transparent crystal, and people worried about when it would shatter.

The soft tips rub against their hard, smooth surface, then tumble up and down the tips of the fingers.

Ji Yan played with the crystal stone, and involuntarily recalled the simple murals in his mind.

Especially the last one, where the flame illuminates the dark scene.

So its hidden meaning......

Is this flame the key prop to solve the problem?

Ji Yan looked at the still flames in the crystal stone, which were exactly the same as the rain of fire in the sky of "Alice" before.

Just as he was about to put it back, his eyes saw a puppet nearby.

Then the brain inhibits thoughts.

If this crystal is the key prop, then I will use a puppet to take it.

Is it okay to settle this matter?

In this way, my ontology does not have to take risks, and things can be solved......

As Ji Yan's thoughts continued, a burst of yellow light suddenly flashed.

This was followed by colored streamers and a white mist.

Finally, the system's prompt sounded as well.

"Ding Dong—"

Ji Yan's stunned eyes instantly became flexible, and he frowned.

I turned on the system, but there was no message.

Could it be that the system is buggy again?

After Ji Yan closed it, he was planning to continue thinking about it from before.

But suddenly something felt wrong.

Why did I decide that this crystal was the key to solving the problem?

There's nothing wrong with being a key prop, but that doesn't mean it's going to solve the problem.

He didn't know how much of the feasibility of this Fang Yu was, and he was thinking about how to implement it.

Is it guiding me?

Ji Yan's brain was completely sobered up, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Fortunately, the existence of the system made him sober.

His heart was a little heavy, because Ji Yan didn't know who was leading him to think like this.

"System, do you know who is behind it?"

Ji Yan tried to ask the system.

Originally, he thought that the system would play dead as before and remain silent for a long time.

This time, however, he was given a brief reply.

"Ding Dong—"

Ji Yan was slightly stunned, and then hurried to check.

But after seeing it, it feels a little incredible.

The system is just two short words.

"The world."

……

The night passed.

Ji Yan got up early.

Rarely, instead of eating at home, he went to a stall outside.

Ji Yan's eyes were a little dark, but he didn't care.

He thought about it all night yesterday, and he couldn't figure out why the world was guiding him like this.

Could it be that it had a premonition that it was about to die, so it planned to put the hope of victory in Ji Yan's hands?

After seeing that he had eaten and drunk enough, he went to school.

He was now thinking about whether or not to follow the world's guidance.

Ask the system, and the system will no longer answer.

It seems that after answering those two words, it will be completely offline.

On the way to school, Ji Yan squinted and looked ahead.

Is that......

Cinderella?

He saw the familiar figure and immediately stepped forward to greet her.

Cinderella naturally saw him too, and while she was surprised that he had come to the school like this, she also responded with a smile.

Then the two of them went together, walked along the road and talked, and went to the Imperial University together.

Along the way, Cinderella saw Ji Yan's eyes black.

And during the conversation, you can also hear that there seems to be something tangled in his heart.

"Did you have any problems last night?"

"Is it that obvious?"

Ji Yan blinked and smiled.

Cinderella didn't reply, instead staring into his eyes.

"Okay, okay."

"It's a bit annoying, but it's not very annoying."

Cinderella narrowed her eyes at such an answer, a question mark on her face.

“？？？”

Just as Ji Yan was talking to Cinderella.

In the shadows, a young man quietly observes the two.

Later, when they entered the campus, they returned to a splendid house to report to the priests.

"My lord, I noticed that someone was very close to her."

"It seems to be her only friend."

"And there is a mysterious factor fluctuation on that person's body, but the specific value is not clear."

The old man sitting in his seat opened his eyes and thought for a moment.

"When you get there, stay at the school gate, wait for the occult academy to get out of school, and then follow the person and find his address."

"Yes! My lord. ”

When the people had left, the priest whispered to himself.

"Blasphemer...... I hope not the blasphemers of unknown gods. ”

For example, they will have a lot less rewards in exchange for this.

……

Inside the magnificent Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Holy See is urging again."

A minister stood beneath the throne and bowed.

"And they also united a group of nobles in the country to support the Holy See's entry into the empire."

The Emperor listened to the report from the minister, his fingers lightly tapped on the iron armrest, and his face did not show much surprise.

"Go and write down those nobles, as for the Holy See......"

Although His Majesty did not finish his words, the minister immediately understood what he meant.

"I'll leave it to the Foreign Secretary to continue to delay."

"Another ......"

The minister's face was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

After all, this matter involves the nobles behind the queen, and it is generally not easy to deal with.

"Speak."

The emperor glanced at the minister, and the momentum on his body instantly made the minister involuntarily bury his head lower.

Like an ostrich, as if that would offset some of it.

His throat rolled up and down, and he could only bite the bullet.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something going on in the Surdans."

"They secretly sent some people to contact the members of the Order......"

Surdan is the family from which the empress was born, and although their actions are secretive, they cannot hide the eyes of the emperor.

Surprisingly, the emperor did not get much angry, but calmly commanded him.

"I see, you go down first."

"Yes."

The minister bowed his head and retreated, and only the emperor was left in the hall.

He stood up and walked slowly to the palace where the Empress lived.

……

"No promise?"

At this time, the queen was holding the information sent by the family and watching them one by one.

There are many sects behind the family, but no one is willing to agree to the queen's conditions.

When they heard that it was the Emperor's daughter, they shook their heads directly, indicating that it was impossible for them to hold the summoning ceremony.

Even if you give sky-high benefits, no one dares to touch them.

"Isn't there anyone who wants to help Christine with the ceremony?"

The queen gritted her silver teeth and clenched the note tightly in both hands.

"Winter, winter, winter."

There was a knock on the door, and the queen ordered the maid to open the door, and at the same time put away the information on the table.

After opening it, the waitress immediately fell to her knees in fright.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

When the queen heard the maid's voice, her movements were a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down.

She tidied up a little and went to greet the emperor.

"Queen."

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I was busy with government affairs the other day, so I couldn't get out. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I thought of coming to accompany you. ”

The Emperor said with a soft smile.

"Your Majesty......"

The queen was a little moved, and her heart was full of joy.

After warming each other for a while, the Great Emperor suddenly said to her.

"Leriana, there are some things that you can't touch if you can."

The queen's body stiffened, and she instantly understood what the emperor was referring to.

"But I can't leave my daughter alone."

She knew that she was in a daze because of her daughter's affairs, and she came into contact with those orders.

But no matter what, she couldn't accept letting the prince of Solomon's empire undo the spell.

"Leriana, Christine naturally has her own destiny."

"These days, you stay in the palace first."

“……”

The Emperor calmed the somewhat agitated Empress, then withdrew from the palace and went to a library alone.

He walked past the rows of bookshelves that chronicled the long history of the Ottoman Empire, as well as some of its best-kept secrets.

Finally, the figure of the Emperor stopped in front of a bookshelf, and then pulled a book out of it.

The cover of the book is pure white with no text.

He flipped through the pages of recent events.

The book seems to have no end, and the number of pages has not diminished in the slightest.

After the Emperor turned to the Coming of the Lord of Dusk, the paper behind it was all blank pages.

He stopped, his eyes lowered, and he looked blank without words.

They don't know what they're thinking.

"Is there no future......

The Great Emperor muttered to himself, he knew what that meant.

This is a gospel of destiny, and everything that is recorded in it will be fulfilled in the end.

Whether it is the destruction of the Holy See and the Empire Division, or the incarnation of the Lord of Dusk, it is recorded.

But now there is a blank space, which means that the whole world may soon be in ruin.

However, Rao was like this, and there was not the slightest panicked expression on the emperor's face.

He would come over almost every day to see if the text would reappear.

But every day the result is the same.

The Emperor slowly closed the book and put it into the stack.

——

Solomon Empire.

At the station in Wolliff City, a figure passed through the exit and came to the crowded street.

He looked at the style that was completely different from the imperial capital, and did not stop in a hurry.

Soon, the figure passed through the rich area, the civilian area, and came to the slum area.

"Is this Alice's home?"

He looked up at the dilapidated house in the distance.

This person was none other than Ji Yan, who spent a week using puppets to come to the capital of the Solomon Empire.
