Well, there don't seem to be many guys who can provide such extremely detailed first-hand information...... But is it necessary to charge a fee for this kind of information about the person concerned? However, there is still some exciting good news in it.

"That is, my city...... And the battleship has already returned?"

Edward suddenly found that his voice was somewhat trembling, and he had to settle down: "What's the ...... Loss of personnel?"

"To be exact, I don't know. The astral dimensional storm has disrupted most of the prophecy and spell factions, and only the teleportation spell invented by Mentor Marilyn can easily transmit messages, but she alone has the ability to connect with others. In the last six months and 23 days, she has not taken the initiative to contact me. And there was no effective response from the last contact. I can only express my deep regret for the selfishness of this Mentor, she has no idea what a huge loss her selfishness has caused to the current wizarding world!"

The corners of the High Mage's mouth twitched disdainfully, and he complained incessantly:

"Your city has fallen into the territory of the original empire, and as for the battleship, Mentor Albert did sail it back to the Academy, but now it is gone, at least not in this plane, either to explore the secrets of the astral plane, or to go to other planes to collect magical materials, if you can, I hope you can tell me how exactly you made it...... Lord Edward, I am not used to being so close to others. And your expression looks really unpleasant, very ...... Hideous!"

I didn't kill you, a guy who can't grasp the point, it's already unusually kind!

"Your Excellency Minahir. You ......"

Several heavily armed barbarian warriors slowly walked into the tent with heavy steps. And the Khan of the Krurod stood in the midst of their shield—apparently the two men in the middle of the room who were speaking inexplicably did not pay attention to the king's interest, but the corpse at their feet was enough to make the Khan tense his nerves—

The fact that the person who had been beheaded by himself a moment ago appeared here again was obviously a terrifying fact for ordinary people. Even if the huge burning wound on the corpse's chest was enough to prove that he was now a mere dead man. But who can guarantee that he will really die this time?

If he reappears in front of him after that, will the incarnation of the god of the mountains come to save him?

"Ah, I'm sorry. Sweat. Because he ran into a little trouble, he killed this man. The young man's understated voice finally brought the Khan's thoughts back to reality, but it made his heart beat even more wildly. His Adam's apple moved twice, but he found that he was speechless: "Your Excellency, no, Your Majesty...... You...... This ......"

Edward chuckled. Comfort—or rather. The 'hint' said, "Don't be nervous, sweat profusely. From beginning to end, this was just the arrangement of the god of the mountain. Since you are the king of His choice, the gods will naturally punish those who dare to blaspheme your authority. ”

"That's right, Khan, you don't need to waste time with this person at all...... As your daughter's husband and father to that child. It's normal to give you any help. ”

"What?"

"Huh?"

The High Mage's voice was full of impatience, but the secret that was inadvertently brought out was so huge. It's enough to make all the listeners in the room shake at the same time—

"Hey, what should I be...... And also. What do you mean by 'that kid'?"

The Great Khan's jaw-dropping expression, as well as the meaningful portions of the mage's words, seemed to prove something...... Edward even felt a tingling pain digging through the center of his brow to the back of his head, and he subconsciously glanced in Elena's direction, only to notice that she had lowered her head deeply, hiding her face in her hood.

It can't be that way, right?

I hope not.

At that moment, countless prayers flashed through the mind of the Psychic Warlock—unfortunately, the world will never be what you think...... The bread always falls on the side with butter on the ground.

"What do you mean? is the offspring of you and Princess Cecilia, a human, male, baby, or, do you think he is the child of His Majesty III?"

The High Mage asked incredulously, "But Princess Cecilia replaced her into the court with her handmaiden, and became an apprentice in magic, you should be the main planner in this plan, why do you ask me about this?"

"This ...... How do you know so well?"

"When Her Excellency Marilyn contacted me, she asked me to take extra care of Princess Cecilia. ”

That damn woman...... What's the matter?

Child's bloodline...... Judging by Cecilia's personality, it is unlikely that there will be any problems. But there's a catch. When did she have a baby?

After all, if you calculate carefully, the time simply doesn't make sense. Even if she has been secretly knotted since the first time, she has not reached ten months until now, not to mention that the last time I saw her, her waist was still toned and soft, and there was no obvious appearance. And judging from Minahir's words, this child should have been here for at least a while!

Or is it the kind of spell that shortens the pregnancy? Or is there some other reason?

Wait a minute.

"How long has it been since I left the main material plane?"

Thoughts flickered in his heart, and Edward suddenly grasped a certain key point in the matter.

Should it be said that it is true?

"Your disappearance...... It's about a year and three months, to a year and six months. When Mentor Albert returned to the Academy, he had given all the mages a mission to find you, but the situation in the astral plane had led to no progress on this mission. ”

"Well, as you just said, my city has fallen into the Empire, where is it?"

"It is within the territory of the 'former empire'. The Master corrected earnestly, "Given your current condition, I need to tell you what I need." The empire no longer exists. It was divided into four different parts, the New Empire, the Free City-State. There are also Uttar Pradesh and Illyria. The new empire was inherited by the original First Prince, the largest and strongest of the four parts, and this prince was supported by sixteen counties, as well as the two Elector Legions of the Emperor Scarlet Yan and the Withered White Phoenix, but because of this strength, he became the main opponent of Tumenis. Today, the land area has been reduced to less than twelve counties......"

"Stop. I didn't ask you about the Empire, you mean my city is within the territory of the New Empire, and what is the situation with them now?"

"To be precise, at the junction of four countries, there is a certain distance from any direction. But it is also the goal that all four countries strive for. ”

"The territory of the Empire. Ten of the original thirty-four counties have become kingdom territories, and their internal divisions continue to be divided. The legions of several Electors were unable to support multi-front warfare, with Uttar Pradesh of the Fox family of Fox certainly being the most comfortable, relying on the northern foothills of the Central Mountain Range. It does not face the kingdom's attacks. It is only necessary to defend against the sneak attack of the original companions, but due to the climate, food is also the most scarce, and the free city-state has abundant maritime resources, but it is the smallest area, as for Illyria...... In fact, he was the capital area of the original empire, which was well defended and difficult to defend. Moreover, the ability of the Thunder Red Dragon in the Imperial Elector Legion is also quite high. Their outstanding speed advantage ......"

"Alright. ”

Edward kneaded his sore brow, and waved his other hand as if drowning, "If nothing else...... I need to be quiet. ”

"Are you sure you're thinking in a place like this? I don't know what you're interested in the spells of the undead faction. ”

There's a corpse on the ground, and the air around it is filled with the stench of the medicine that preserves the clones, this kind of place, of course, is not suitable for any kind of thinking, but aren't you talking about a bunch of useless things here?

Edward had lost even interest in rolling his eyes, and after a moment's hesitation, he reached out and pulled his daughter to the side, and slowly walked out the door.

Thinking doesn't really need any special position, it's just a state of mind......

Edward was sure that in his current state, it was impossible to make any meaningful inferences, let alone come up with any answers. After all, this is about their own city, their own women, and their own sons......

How can you feel more tired than when you are fighting against a few gods and a few devils around you?

But if you take a step back, where is there anything to think about?

Own city...... As long as there is still one of the remaining dozens of energy cores that can be used, then with the help of the stone elemental creatures, with the ability of those girls, even if the opponent gathers an army of 100,200,000, it will be difficult to break through Burgundy, and the empire that has been divided, with the fierce attack of the Tuminis Empire in front of it, and the constraints of the former companions on the side, presumably no matter which force it is, it will not gnaw on this huge bone lightly.

As for the son......

What kind of organization, what kind of plan, with his current strength, is there any guy who dares to blow up his hair in front of him casually?

"You...... Are you worried about me?" The silent march had little to doom, but as the light of the fire around her faded, Elena suddenly quickened her pace, took Edward's hand, and asked softly.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't expect it. Edward sighed.

The feeling of the girl whispering softly in her ear slightly diluted the feeling of irritability headache...... The delicate fragrance on the girl's body drifted slightly in the night breeze, and it seemed to melt away the smell of blood that had originally lingered on the tip of her nose. However, Edward's mood was not relaxed by this, at least he could not think of the right words to convince him right now...... Comfort, or prevarication.

"Well, what if you think about it? Keep it hidden? Besides, I already know the relationship between that princess Cecilia and you. ”

Elena's soft voice made Edward look away and look at her face - the expression seemed calm, but ...... Apparently the silence was too deliberate.

Knowing it doesn't mean accepting it, does it?

"Actually, I do...... I'm not happy, but there are a few of them. ”

Elena was silent for a moment. As if sorting out his thoughts, he continued: "I don't know what other people think, but I think about this world. There should be no girl who hears that her man has anything to do with other girls...... I'm even happy when I have a baby, but I don't think it's very ...... I'm sad, I guess I'm a little unhappy. And, in fact, I am a little happy in my heart. Because you're annoyed right now, aren't you? So, you're probably afraid that this will upset me, which at least proves that you still care about me. ”

The orange fire outside the tabernacle in the distance. Hazy and soft into the night, it also reflected the subtle smile raised at the corners of her cherry lips, and looked at her own face reflected in those blue and clear beautiful eyes. Edward suddenly felt that somewhere in his heart was stirring up messily.

He lowered his head slightly, kissed the two soft cherry lips, and felt the fragrant and gradually rapid breathing...... The kiss seemed unusually short, but he seemed to be able to feel something in the girl's heart from that lip...... Although there are also grievances. But more of it was worry — or for him. Or for the future.

"Sorry......"

After parting his lips, he said softly. Makes Elena's smile widen a little more:

"You, you don't look like anyone I know lately. She said, "The Edward I know is never wrong, and even the most sinful thing he can say is high-sounding and rightful...... Now, who are you? You can't be some kind of monster, right?"

"Horn ...... Ahh......h

Edward was stunned, then realized that Elena was just trying to make him change his mood. But of course, such a joke is unlikely to work for him...... And just as he was thinking about whether he should force a laugh, the shaking hand made him lower his head. But I saw that my daughter was looking up, staring straight at his face with a pair of big eyes, and kept making that kind of voice of unknown meaning.

At least a small part of Azus's divine power, as well as a part of the corpse of the Misra Divine Spirit, and the energy used by the Great Devil to attack, caused the rapid growth of this little guy's body, and now she looks like a child of seven or eight years old. However, it is clear that intelligence and some other abilities have not directly followed - she is still unable to utter a complete sentence, and her thoughts are extremely simple, and she is still in the stage of simply imitating the actions of those around her. And for this reason, sometimes it was not easy for Edward to figure out what she wanted, even if he used his mind-reading abilities.

"She probably wants you to kiss her too, right?" said Elena, her eyes wandering, and she smiled. Then he reached out and picked up his daughter and kissed her on the cheek: "This is not okay, little one, your father has strange things on him, you can't kiss him, only mom can." ”

"Horn ......"

Holding her daughter in her arms, Elena carefully took out a small wooden comb and helped her comb her hair that was a little messy, but suddenly remembered something: "Ah, speaking of which, Edward, don't you think that if you really compare, I am a little luckier than Princess Cecilia." At least, you were there for me when my baby was born?"

Is this enlightenment? How do you feel more sinful?

Edward didn't know what to do for a while—

Although Cecilia was the cause of the problem, she didn't say it herself...... Now that I think about it, the biggest reason for her sudden departure at that time must have been this problem-she had already made a decision not to let Edward know about it at that time, right? But anyway, this can't just be her own problem, Edward, as a man, will never be able to push two or six five and be happy.

If it weren't for herself, where would she have to bear these problems?

However, if it were not for herself, her humble marriage plan seemed to be impossible to carry out, and she would inevitably be locked up in Romante's palace, and now that the king was dead, would she have any chance to realize any of her ideals......? But is it possible to escape?

It's actually no need to dwell on these things, it's impossible for him Edward to give up the girls around him, there is no possibility of escaping the sin that has been committed, since both horizontal and vertical need to be faced, so what is there to hesitate about?

"Let's go. ”

Edward shook his head, then narrowed his eyes.

Where to go?

To find Cecilia, of course.

The storm of the astral plane has only weakened, and all teleportation spells with the astral plane as a mid-level still cannot be used lightly, even if Edward's control of the rules of space is far greater than that of ordinary mages, but long-distance space travel will also be problematic.

Thankfully, Cecilia wasn't too far from the Golden Horde......

In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can know that since it was the great shaman who planned it, he naturally couldn't let her get out of control, otherwise, it would be enough to kill her directly......

Beyond the space gate, there is a rolling hill.

The sky was gloomy, just leaving the 100-mile range around the Golden Horde, it had lost the protection of the basin effect, the temperature here had dropped by more than ten degrees compared to the other side of the portal, and the continuous drizzle in the sky had become ice water mixed with snowflakes, and patches of fine white mist were sent out with his breath, making Edward shiver. (To be continued......)
