Ten days later.

Alien Empire, North.

As the country residence of the Velant Empire, Checker Manor is located in the county of Berkinher, about 600 kilometers north of the capital Hersharem.

In cases where more privacy and security are needed, border estates may be chosen as the site for high-level negotiations.

The estate was gifted to the royal family by Sir Arthur decades ago to provide a place for dignitaries of state to rest and work away from the hustle and bustle of the capital city of Hersharem.

Even in August, the northernmost border county of the Velant Empire, the weather is still cold, with drizzle and heavy clouds, making the day look as dark as dusk.

It's only ten o'clock in the morning.

The heavy clouds were already low, and the streets were crowded with people trying to blend in with the gray walls around them.

The buildings of the main town of Berkiungh are mostly stone, and they still look sturdy after years of wind and rain, and the city's streets are narrow and winding, and the cobbled pavement glows blue in the rain, reflecting the silhouettes of the surrounding buildings.

A snowfield deer cart with the royal emblem of the Demon Realm drove by, still stained with unmelted snow, and the wheels buzzed and rolled, splashing with water.

Huberian, who was in the carriage, glanced out of the window and half-closed the curtain again.

"Ugh."

She sighed.

Different from the Demon King City that sings every night, after passing through the land of eternal night and coming to the Alien Empire, what you see is a dark cloud that cannot be dispersed.

"Can you just go to Chekel Manor and hand it over to Caliella later?"

Huberian looked at Fallen, who was sitting across from her, her eyes closed.

"Yes, Your Highness only needs to complete the basic etiquette steps, and leave the rest to me, and I will negotiate everything with the Pyrant Empire."

Callira stated calmly.

At present, all the diplomatic affairs of the Demon Realm are arranged by her personally, and the Pyrant Empire quickly coordinated the itinerary to welcome Princess Huberian to visit, but the initial meeting place was set in this Berkinhe county on the northern border of Riot.

Not to her surprise, the representative of the Demon Mission of the Alien Empire was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Moretti, and when she proposed to see the Prime Minister, she was very tactfully denied by the other party.

"Okay."

Huber Ann gladly accepted.

Although she always felt guilty that she was a useless princess, Lanch comforted her, saying that she was quite a good princess, young and promising.

It was obviously Lanchi's gentle and polite words...... For some reason, she felt that Ranch really felt that way.

Today is the thirty-ninth day of this shadow world, and before she knows it, she has been in the shadow world for more than a month.

Originally, it would have been enough to travel from the Demon Realm to the Golant Frontier through the Land of Eternal Night.

But in order to complete the mission goal, they left the Demon King City of Nekaris and went to the Purgatory City of Pascual for some time, which is where the Demon Ancestral Land is located.

It is worth mentioning that the Purgatory Cloister Academy is also in the Purgatory City of Pascual.

Although Ranch missed the school very much, he gave up his selfishness because of the trip.

After she and Lan Qi arrived at the Demon Ancestral Land, [Mission Objective 1: The Demon Ancestral Land has the possibility of sealing the Blood Ancestor, and the Demon Ancestral Land can find some key technique principle] has successfully become a completed state.

Although the ancestral land cannot kill the blood clan, its supreme magic power can automatically block all the creatures that the demon clan has stepped into without permission.

In the mission goal of the current Shadow World, the method of defeating the Blood Clan should be to successfully defeat the Blood Clan, completely powerless and capture it, and then smoothly transport it to the Demon Ancestral Land in Purgatory City Pascual.

Sealing the Bloodline in this way is the right solution.

However, after Lan Qi told Falling Qing the recipe for Count Xuewang's blood, Falling Qing was also shaken.

Falling Qing also began to think about the huge commercial value of the blood clan, as well as the possibility of the demon clan buying and selling the blood clan and keeping the blood clan in captivity.

Not only that, Lan Qi also suggested that she reach an agreement with the human realm, and the demon world will recycle or use strategic resources to replace the high-level blood clans that are difficult for humans to imprison, forming an industrial chain, and the human kingdoms on the front line of the northern continent will desperately fight the blood clans, and the captured blood clans can also be sold by the demon world for money.

Huberian covered his ears on the spot, and didn't listen to the rest of the content, and the merit would be lost if he listened to it again.

However, after they left the Purgatory City of Pascual, Ranch left the Great Love Poet in the Demon Ancestral Land.

The ancestral land of the demon clan is also the eternal cemetery of the demon king.

The ninth-order Great Demon Clan can turn into a Great Demon Trial when he dies in the Demon Realm, and after the Demon King dies, he can integrate his last strength and soul into the ancestral land, making the demon enchantment in the ancestral land stronger.

Unfortunately, Pranay confirmed to Ranch and Huber that after leaving the Shadow World, all the statuses and bonuses obtained in the Shadow World will be removed, including the Shadow Great Demon Mark woven by the Shadow World, and even if you get the Great Demon Mark in the Shadow World, you will not be able to bring it back to the present world.

Lan Qi himself couldn't come up with a reason for studying in the Demon Ancestral Land in a short time, but he thought it was very beautiful.

But the Great Love Poet had the same feeling as when he first observed the original stone slab, so Lan Qi simply threw her there.

Anyway, the magic cards that your own soul bind brought into the shadow world, as long as you don't unbind them, no matter where you lose them, they will return to your soul space at the end of the shadow world.

Huberian looked out the window through the curtains, thinking quietly.

The rain slowly dripped from the cornice of the carriage with a crisp ticking sound, intertwined with the occasional bell from the church bell tower in the distance.

There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road next to the car, and occasionally citizens hurried by, all wrapped in heavy coats and with their heads bowed to avoid the biting cold wind and drizzle.

Even without looking at the map, Huberian knew they were getting closer and closer to Checker Manor on the outskirts of the city-state.

"...... the Empire? Is it there? ”

Sigrid snuggled up to Hubertarian, rubbing her eyes half-asleep and waking up as if she had heard a keyword.

The first moment she opened her eyes, she saw Callilla sitting across from her.

"Here, Sigrid, you can accompany the princess."

Kaliera said to the little wolf girl.

At present, this wolf orphan has obtained the identity of their demon realm, and it is also the key protection object of her falling Qingqing.

However, for the time being, Sigrid is still a native of the Alien Empire, and she is accompanying them as a guide to the Land of Eternal Night hired by their Demon Mission.

"No problem."

Sigrid nodded, slouched on Hubertian's laps, yawned and rested.

This big demon called Fallen Qing is very magical, when Seagray first saw her, she thought that her mother was still alive and became a demon, and later asked Huber to know that Callella would show the appearance of the woman the other party wanted to see the most, and Huber Ann also felt like a mother when she saw Callella for the first time.

But Miss Callilla was obviously very young, and it was still too rude to take such an unmarried woman for a mother.

“……”

Luo Qing originally planned to say something, but he held back.

Since the princess has no opinion, then she has no opinion either.

"Sigrid, I'll call you when I'm about to get off."

Huberian just smiled helplessly, and put her hand on Sigrid's head, caressing her light hair.

It's normal for children to get sleepy, and she's heard that Seagrid has been working continuously for a long time without rest, and she's accumulating fatigue that doesn't belong to her age.

"Thank you, sister."

Sigrid muttered.

"Sister, where did Rocky go?"

After a moment of silence, Sigrid asked again.

She noticed that when she had just woken up, Rocky had disappeared.

"He said he had his own job, and he got off the bus when he arrived at the Pyrant Empire, and he would join us later."

Huberian lowered her head and whispered to Sigrid.

"Yes, Rocky's secretary once said that he was a very honorable figure in the Alien Empire, and I couldn't do anything disrespectful to him, and gave me a particularly complicated manual of precautions, but then Rocky himself didn't mind anything, so I got along with him casually......"

Sigrid muttered to herself dreamily.

She had almost forgotten that Rocky was actually from the Empire of Spirit, and had patronized to play with him in the Demon Realm.

"Heh, how noble can he be in the Empire? I don't have anyone in my network who can match the name. ”

Callella clasped her hands in disdain and smiled.

Along the way, to be honest, she has a little grudge against Nameless, she always feels that Nameless has respected her too much, just like treating her as an older generation of demons, and even she tried to open her eyes directly to look at Nameless Qing in a retaliatory manner, but there was still no interference with him, and she couldn't control it and couldn't affect this man.

"Ugh."

Hubertian didn't know what to say for a moment.

In fact, she was mentally prepared when she didn't see Lan Qi in the Demon Realm, and she wouldn't be surprised what Lan Qi's identity was in the Alien Empire.

After all, she had been to the Northern Continent.

Huberian shook her head, not thinking much more.

Although the faces of the people of the Horrant Empire still look anxious, and the city is shrouded in darkness with no hope of victory, Ranch says that the pre-dawn is often the darkest hour, and that if it is passed, everything will be reversed.
