"Oh, your magic defense is too low, and you don't have a mental barrier. Oh, don't worry about such a small matter. Just think that I can read minds... Oh, right! Aren't you here to rescue this half-elf? For the secret she found out, right? Then let's make a deal! I'll tell you her last words, and you'll let me out?"

Ginny was confused and still hesitating, but the skull rolled to the other side of the skylight, lowered his head and looked at Lailai who was sitting on the ground rubbing his buttocks and had just fallen down with his ears exposed, "Hey, Snow Bunny, let me out, I will tell you where your family is."

Lailai's ears perked up, "What! You know where my family is!"

The skull chuckled, "Of course, with your fur color, you're obviously a snow rabbit from the Ice Sea. Hey, this is the Libra Plain! It's far away from your hometown! How did you, little rabbit, get here?

Let me out, and I'll take you back home! I know the Ice Sea very well!"

Lai Lai jumped up suddenly and seemed to be convinced instantly.

"No, don't be fooled, Rabbit! There's something wrong with this guy at first glance!" Ginny was anxious.

The skeleton clattered to the other side and glanced at Ginny.

"Well, I want to go on adventures and become a knight like Cid..."

"Hey! Stop reading my mind, you dead bone!"

The skeleton ignored her, "Who is Cid? I've never heard of him. Is he very strong? How can he compare with Killian? What? You, an ally, don't even know Killian?? Wow, is this guy dead? Oh my, that's really rare good news...

Ahem, you want to become stronger, right? I'll teach you! Don't look at me like this. Back then, 17 or 18 war gods couldn't do anything to me. If I hadn't been injured, the elves wouldn't have been able to catch me, you know!"

The female knight still didn't believe it at all... Nonsense! You believe what a head you met on the roadside said!

But Lailai grabbed her hand at this time, looked at her with wide eyes, “Ginny, I want to find my family. I have been staying in Libra City to steal money just to get information about my people from the caravan.

If you help me once, I promise not to steal anything in the city and make you angry again."

"Woo..." The female knight felt like she was hit by the rabbit's cuteness.

"Although I'm a female knight, I'm also a girl. I also like cute furry things, but I'm too strong to hug them. I really want to pinch her ears..."

“Ahhhhhh! Bastard!! I’ll let you out! Let you out! Just shut up!!”

Ginny was being publicly executed, and she kicked down the prison wall.

"Ahem! So much dust, ahem... eh——"

In the cell on the other side, a skeleton was chained together. The flesh and blood had long since decayed away, leaving only the bones and human skin hanging in the air through the chains. Judging from the thickness of the accumulated dust, this room was filled with

I'm afraid even the elven inquisitor hasn't been there for hundreds of years.

But the skeleton just wasn't dead yet, and it was still flying around with a piece of spine as if it was a curse.

"Hey, you have good talent! You can actually break the barrier. It takes more than just strength to do it! Come on! Do you see those chains? Smash the stones that secure the ends of the chains. They are the ones with the red magic circles! Believe in yourself! You can do it!"

"Wait a minute." Lailai stopped the female knight again. She looked at the silver bee flapping its wings on the body of the half-elf girl on the other side. "Silver bee brought us here to save this girl. She is the big guy's companion, right? What were her last words?"

"Oh, she wanted to warn the contact that 'the eggs are about to hatch.'"

Lailai and Ginny frowned at each other, "Egg?" "What does this mean?"

"Oh, what's the point of this!" The skull was almost dying of anxiety, "'Titan Egg'. When the temple encounters an opponent that it can't beat, it will hatch a Titan from the roots to act as a thug. Last time, our team fought all the way to the World Tree, and was defeated by those things in the end. But it's really strange, I remember that 'Justice' didn't have a 'Titan Egg' in his hand..."

"Then let's go find the big guy first?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go! Oh, it doesn't matter. If you two want to help pass the message, just tell the magic item. I see it has a magic circle that can automatically find its way back to the host! Don't worry, the environmental magic has suddenly increased so much that even I can wake up. It's no problem for this fly to fly back by itself! Anyway, let me out first! Help!!"

Cold sweat oozed from Libra King's forehead and rolled down the bridge of his nose.

He looked at the mountain of rotten corpses in the square, which looked like alien creatures, a mixture of elves and dragons, and his heart felt like it was sinking into an icy cave.

Dragon King,

The Dragon King of Mount Libra, one of the alliance's top war gods, died just like that, and in such a pathetic way!

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to the man who was laughing and bragging with his son Arthur, arm in arm.

Is Sauron, the empire's god of war, so terrifying?

How old is he? How did he cultivate to gain the strength to kill the five dragon kings in such a short time?

"It's no big deal! It's just killing a god. There are still seventy-two people in the empire who can tear apart dragon kings with bare hands like me!"

Holy shit, is this true or not and it can be accurate to the decimal place?

King Libra just felt dizzy.

This time, he might have made the wrong bet...

"Oh, Your Majesty, are you okay? You don't look well. Are you tired from putting out fires and hosting banquets these past two days?" Soran laughed and patted King Libra's shoulder.

The old king also put on a smiling face and nodded, "No, no, it is my honor to serve the empire."

"Haha, this time we were able to slay the Dragon King thanks to the efforts of King Libra. Don't worry, I will report this to the parliament and publicize it throughout the empire. I will organize everyone to learn from the spirit of the Libra family, actively cooperate with the empire's offensive, draw a clear line with the alliance, and contribute to the great cause of human revival!

I believe that with the Libra King as an example, the families from all over the alliance will surely stand up and resist the tyranny of the elves! The day of overthrowing the oppression of the temple and wiping out the gods and dragons is not far away! "

"Ah, ah... yes, yes... you are right... Your Excellency... there is actually something..." King Libra's calves were trembling.

"Oh, there is one more thing I need to tell you in advance," Soran suddenly put away his polite smile and swallowed the words of the Libra King back into his stomach. "On the front line, the elves won."

Ok?

Soran sighed, "How should I put it? The nobles of the empire never disappoint us. Anyway, their defenses have been breached again. Sigh, they were able to detect our true strength on the first day of the official war, and we started losing in the second game. It's really unbelievable.

Ahem, but it is slightly better than before. In order to prepare for the war, there is more than one line of defense, so the imperial army can retreat and reorganize to continue fighting. The battle will probably continue for a while, Your Majesty, please relax a little and don't have too much psychological pressure, understand?"

King Libra slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face eased again, "...I see, I understand, just don't worry."

"Well, oh, is there anything else you didn't say just now?"

The Libra King bowed and laughed, "No, no, why would I hide anything? I just wanted to confirm with you, Your Excellency. Didn't you kill the Dragon King? Do you want me to hold a celebration banquet for you?"

"Oh, forget it. The air smells like shit. It's quite disgusting."

Chapter 115: New Chunin Exam

She was unwilling to let go of this opportunity. As a female general, she finally had the chance to fight in the battlefield. If she failed this time, she would never have another chance in the future. Thinking of this, she used her body to block Liu Tuan and Feng Chen.

"If I didn't do it, it would be difficult to explain to the court. Go to hell." Jun Zhu whispered in Feng Chen's ear and pushed Feng Chen aside. There was a cliff on the other side. Feng Chen rolled on the ground and actually rolled down the cliff. The ground he rolled on was covered with thick blood.

Liu Tuan yelled and tried to rush over to grab Feng Chen, but Feng Chen was too fast and he eventually fell off the cliff. The cliff was bottomless and all that could be seen was a pitch-black mass and mist floating in the mountains.

"Tuan Liu, it's your own fault this time. I wanted to take Feng Chen back to claim credit, but unfortunately, your hidden weapon is too powerful." Jun Zhu took advantage of Liu Tuan's distraction to jump back, return to his place, and leave with everyone. Liu Tuan also had no intention of fighting, and ordered everyone to find Feng Chen immediately.

Liu Tuan no longer cared about Jun Zhu and his men leaving in a swagger. Giving up this victory and finding Feng Chen was the more important thing.

After searching for five hours, the soldiers reported that they couldn't find Feng Chen. When Liu Tuan saw the thick bloodstains on the ground, he had a bad feeling. In fact, everyone knew that Feng Chen was in great danger this time. He was hit by a hidden weapon and stabbed by Jun Zhu. The cliff was at least ten thousand feet high. Unless a god appeared, Feng Chen might not come back.

Liu Tuan looked at the cliff below which was shrouded in clouds and mist and was very quiet, but his heart was like the rolling waves. He held the blood-stained sand in his hands, which was the last thing Feng Chen left in this world.

In Yinquan Palace, Li Yiyi was playing a new Nine-Rings game with Li Zheng. This was a toy given by Shen Qingming. It was said that it could make Li Zheng think more and help him regain his normal mind. Li Yiyi was very patient. When Li Zheng got tired of playing, she played it again from the beginning with him. Li Xi watched at the door but did not go in.

She had always hoped that Li Zheng could fully recover and take over this burden from her, but seeing the satisfied and happy smile on Li Zheng's face at this moment, she really didn't know whether her wish for Li Zheng's recovery was really a good thing for him.

"Xier is here," Li Zheng said happily when he accidentally saw Li Xi standing at the door. He was holding the Nine Rings and happily holding Li Xi's hand.

"How is my brother doing?" Li Xi asked Li Yiyi. She pulled Li Zheng inside and saw that Li Yiyi's belly had become quite big and it was not very convenient for her to move.

"The emperor's condition is still the same, neither better nor worse. He is still taking Doctor Shen's medicine on time." Li Yiyi looked at Li Zheng with pity in her eyes. Li Xi couldn't tell whether she was looking at her husband or her child.

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't tire yourself out. If you really can't do it, let the palace maids do it. You are a royal concubine, not a palace maid." Li Xi felt warm in her heart when she saw that Li Yiyi actually prepared meals for Li Zheng personally. Li Yiyi really cared about Li Zheng.

"Actually..." Li Yiyi hesitated to speak. She looked at Li Xi and bit her lower lip.

"Actually what?" Li Xi

She saw that Li Yiyi seemed to be in trouble, so she continued asking.

"Xier! Xier!..." An You's voice came from far away. He ran in and pushed away the eunuch who was blocking the door. After entering, he looked around. He saw Li Xi and Li Yiyi standing together. He didn't care about etiquette and grabbed Li Xi's shoulders, gasping for breath. He looked at Li Xi, air coming out of his mouth continuously, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"What's wrong? An You, speak nicely and don't be anxious." Li Xi supported An You with his backhand. An You was now in the harem helping him manage government affairs. Li Xi felt a lot more relaxed. Although the whereabouts of Marquis An Guo were still unknown, An You's mood was gradually improving.

An You looked at Li Xi and felt extremely sad. In order to relieve Li Xi's worries, he tried his best to handle the affairs of state by himself. He would not bother Li Xi unless it was a major matter. After all, Li Xi's body had not fully recovered yet, and she had to take Feng Ming's condition into consideration. However, this news made him dare not hide it from Li Xi anymore, and it would be better for him to inform Li Xi of the news himself.

"Xier, calm down first and don't be anxious. Although this news is not good, don't be anxious. I have ordered people to go out. Don't worry." An You himself didn't know where to start. The news was too shocking. Even he found it difficult to accept, let alone Li Xi.

"An You, tell me the truth, has something happened to Feng Chen?" Li Xi said word by word, holding An You's arm even more tightly. There was only one person who could make An You so panicked, and that person would not be Marquis An Guo. If something happened to Marquis An Guo, An You would not look for him first. So only the person far away at the border could make An You so nervous.

"Xier, Xier...he...he is missing for the time being." An You thought for a while. He had wanted to tell Li Xi as soon as possible, but he didn't say the words. His expression was gloomy. Li Xi's body had not fully recovered yet. If it was Feng Chen who was gone, would he be willing to let Li Xi know the news?

"An You, I can hold on. Tell me, how is Feng Chen? Is he dead?" Li Xi has always been able to ignore the war situation on the front line. On the one hand, it is because An You is by her side and can handle everything. On the other hand, it is because she did it on purpose. She never worried about the war on the front line before. She had confidence in the soldiers of Yanxia Country. Now, because the person leading the army is her husband, she does not want to face these military situations, for fear that the news that comes out is what she does not want to hear.

"He...his body has not been found yet, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive. Don't worry, he may still be alive." An You was anxious when he saw Li Xi's face turn pale, and he hurriedly clarified. His hands tightly held Li Xi's.

"Let's talk outside." Li Xi was still conscious. She saw Li Yiyi holding Li Zheng's hand and standing beside her. Thinking of Li Zheng's illness and Li Yiyi's pregnancy, she didn't want to provoke them and winked at An You.

An You understood, said a few words to Li Yiyi, and then helped Li Xi out.

Li Yiyi looked at Li Xi's back, holding Li Zheng's hand tightly. The person behind her whispered, "My queen, this matter must be told to the prince.

You have to know it.”

Li Yiyi looked at Li Zheng, lowered her head and thought for a while, then said firmly: "You can't let the prince know. Now is an emergency. If the prince knows, I'm afraid the government will be even more chaotic. Let's put it aside for now. If you dare to go out and tell the prince, I will never let you go when you come back."

Li Yiyi's eyes were sharp as she stared at the person behind her. That person could only lower his head and retreat. Li Yiyi now is no longer the same Li Yiyi as before. She will not be easily controlled by others anymore.

Li Xi sat in the chair and didn't speak for a long time. An You stayed with her all the time. An You told Li Xi the situation as lightly as possible. The only thing Li Xi thought of was that Feng Chen was caught. Xin Yi was also very surprised to hear it. In her impression, Feng Chen was an invincible man. How could he be captured?

An You explained her doubts, and Li Xi also heard it. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Come here, bring this Liu Tuan back to me. I will kill him with my own hands to avenge my husband."

Xinyi saw that Li Xi's expression became fierce and confused, and knew that the situation was not good. She shook her head at An You, motioning An You to go down and deal with the problem first. An You did have a lot of things to deal with, so he left first.

"Master, have some tea first. Your hands are too cold. If the prince consort knew, he would be heartbroken." Xinyi brought a bowl of fresh tea and whispered to Li Xi. Li Xi was completely lost in thought and it took a long time before she heard Xinyi's words.

"I will kill all the people of Beidi. Not a single one of them can be left alive. I want all the people of Beidi to be buried with Feng Chen!" Li Xi shouted loudly. She regained consciousness. She would not let Li Xi go, but seeing Li Xi's expression, it seemed that she would not change her mind.

"Yes, I will go to the battle myself. I will personally defeat the Northern Di and avenge Feng Chen. Feng Chen is the son-in-law of the Yanxia Kingdom, and I am sending troops to avenge him. This reason is enough, Xinyi, please don't try to persuade me anymore. I have thought it through, and no one can change my decision." Li Xi looked at Xinyi. Seeing the determination and firmness in Li Xi's eyes, Xinyi could only remain silent.

There is no need to say much about the new clothes, and Li Xi will not say much either. They are all preparing for the battle.

An You returned to Laiyiju in the evening. When he heard Li Xi's decision, his mouth opened and closed again, and opened and closed again. After a long time, he said, "Xi'er, did you say something wrong?"

"What did I say wrong?" Li Xi asked. She had already hidden her initial sadness for Feng Chen. Even in front of An You, Li Xi would not reveal her emotions without reservation. After all, An You was her cousin, not her husband, and An You already had a lot of troubles, and she couldn't add to his troubles.

"It's me who should go to war, not you. You are a girl, so you should just stay in the palace and don't need to go to war. If you need to go to war, I will do it."

An You would not say any more words of comfort. Li Xi had recovered 70% to 80%. Although she still had sadness on her face, An You knew that it was best to treat Li Xi as usual.

"I have made up my mind and will not change it. I know you are doing this for my own good, but this time, I will personally go out and avenge Feng Chen. If you want to help me, then stay in the palace and handle government affairs for me. This time is different from the past. I will personally issue an order to confirm your status as regent and will not let you act without proper reason. Don't worry, this time, no one will gossip."

Li Xi looked at An You. She knew that An You would definitely understand and support her decision.

An You looked at Li Xi and knew that it was pointless to say anything more, but he was still worried about Li Xi's safety. No matter how dangerous the palace was, it was his place, and once he was there, Li Xi would no longer be able to control him.
