"I think it makes sense, so I will take this step first."

"And you don't have to worry, my king. I just want to test your strengths and weaknesses. I have no other intentions~~~"

Marika spoke in a teasing tone, standing on tiptoes and blowing into Lin Yue's ear.

Lin Yue couldn't bear this devil-like woman any longer, so she picked her up.

Since the other party wants to test his strengths, then Lin Yue must test the other party's depth.

Meanwhile, outside the room.

A group of black knife assassins who were guarding outside the door, at this moment, heard faint sounds of swallows and orioles coming from the room with their sharp ears.

They were all women, so they could naturally guess what emotion the voice expressed.

Several black knife assassins hesitated and looked at the leader of the black knife assassins, Aleto, asking for his opinion.

Aleto shook his head and glared at the other person.

I thought, if I go in at this time, wouldn’t that be courting death?

Can't you see that the gentleman inside is the man chosen by their queen?

He has already been directly called the king, how can he not understand? He has no sense at all.

Aleto secretly complained about her subordinates in her heart.

And the other party obviously realized the problem from Aleto's glare.

Then he looked apologetic and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Aleto didn't care and just asked them to guard the door.

Don't let other people get close to this area of ​​the room.

After Aleto made the arrangements, she began patrolling the corridor.

But when she had walked less than 100 meters away, she suddenly stopped.

At the same time, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

He was wearing a black fitted armor, a hood covering half of his face, and a black cloak as thin as a cicada's wing draped behind him.

Dressed the same as Aleto and other black knife assassins, the other party's identity is obvious: he is a black knife assassin.

"what happened?"

Aleto looked down at the black knife assassin who was kneeling on one knee, frowned and asked.

"Someone is coming over there, and is waiting for you at the old place."

The black knife assassin spoke softly, his voice so light that it seemed as if he couldn't catch the other person's voice if he wasn't paying attention.

"Oh?!"

"Have you seen the so-called helper who helps the Queen?"

Upon hearing this, Aleto raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I saw it. The other party is huge and looks like a ferocious beast."

"But since it's covered in a cloak, we can't see what kind of creature it is."

The black knife assassin answered truthfully.

"Okay, go back and tell them that it will take some time for the Queen to get over there. Just ask them to wait!"

Aleto then gave an order and waved his hand to let the other party leave.

After receiving the order, the black knife assassin did not dare to ask any more questions. He flashed and disappeared without leaving any trace, as if he had never been there.

Chapter 364: Beast, Malikus

On the other side of Storm City, in a small village outside the city.

There are hundreds of households living here. Most of them make a living by hunting. Occasionally, they come to Storm City to sell what they hunt or some rare items they pick up in exchange for money to buy the necessities of life.

Since this place is relatively close to Storm City, it is naturally under the jurisdiction and protection of Storm City.

Therefore, this place is relatively peaceful, and there are no attacks from wild beasts or other creatures.

This is the case even without wild beasts, and other intelligent creatures will definitely not come here to cause trouble.

After all, the Storm King's reputation is well-known.

At this time, the originally peaceful and harmonious village welcomed two strange guests.

One of the two strangers was a short, hunchbacked old woman.

The other one, on the other hand, was the opposite of that. He was a huge creature, as tall as three people, with a broad and large body.

Although the other person's whole body was covered by a cloak, his face could not be seen clearly.

But when getting closer, I could hear the other party's heavy breathing and low roar, and I could guess that the other party was definitely not human.

More like a beast-like creature.

The villagers were somewhat worried about this strange combination of outsiders.

They were afraid that the other party was coming to the village to cause trouble.

This way, they will be difficult to deal with.

The old lady was okay, she looked frail.

But not everyone in their village could deal with that beast-like creature.

You know, humans are the weakest creatures in this border area.

Fortunately, this worry is unnecessary.

After entering the village, the two strangers did not do anything, but went directly to the abandoned building at the end of the village and stayed there.

The villagers secretly observed for a while and then ignored it.

Judging from the other person's situation, it seems that he is just waiting for someone.

As long as they don't offend the other party, the other party will probably ignore them.

Just as this strange combination of the old woman and the giant beast waited in the abandoned place for a while, a dark figure appeared in front of them.

The moment the black knife assassin appeared, a wheezing sound suddenly came from the nose of the huge beast.

Then he excitedly pointed his head at the black knife assassin. Under the cloak, a pair of scarlet eyes flashed, staring at the black knife assassin.

The black knife assassin was suddenly startled, and felt as if he was being stared at by a terrifying beast. His hair stood on end and alarm bells rang in his heart.

However, in order to avoid embarrassing the Black Knife Assassin and the Queen, the Black Knife Assassin suppressed his fear and bowed to the old woman beside him.

"Mother-in-law, the Queen still has some matters to deal with, so you need to wait here for some time."

The black knife assassin conveyed this to the old woman with a slightly trembling voice.

The old woman's face was like a skull, with empty holes where her eyes should be.

But it doesn't seem to affect her eyesight.

When she heard the message from the Black Knife Assassin, she just turned her head slightly to face the Black Knife Assassin's position.

"I already know about this. Please tell your master that the war is about to begin. Everyone needs to be prepared. If there is no Shadow by your side, there will be no guarantee of safety!"

"Hopefully, Her Majesty the Eternal Queen, the rat is the juice!"

After saying this, the old woman turned her head and stopped talking. It was unclear whether she was sleeping or not.

Upon hearing this, the black knife assassin nodded slightly, responded, and disappeared from the spot.

When the black knife assassin left, the huge beast no longer had its previous excitement.

Instead, he let out a low growl of dissatisfaction.

"Roar......!"

"Be quiet! Beast! The war will begin soon! When the time comes, you can kill as much as you want! Release your nature!"

The old woman gave a soft shout, and the beast instantly quieted down.

It is not something that ordinary people can do to tame a restless beast so easily.

After waiting for more than two hours, Marika finally arrived.

But Marika was not the only one who came this time.

When a starry sky portal opened in front of the two of them, the old woman's mouth opened slightly in surprise.

Although she couldn't see it, she could feel a mysterious force appearing in front of her.

The beast on the side, its scarlet eyes lit up again, staring at the mysterious portal.

Until two figures slowly walked out from inside, the low roar of the beast continued.

Marika, wrapped in a long black robe, appeared in front of the beast and the old woman with one hand intimately holding Lin Yue's arm.

After seeing the old woman, Marika's mouth corners slightly raised, and then she cast her gaze on the beast beside her.

"Grandma Jiezhi, is this the shadow bestowed by the Supreme Will to protect me?"

Marika looked curiously at the beast in front of her whose entire body was covered by a cloak and whose face could not be seen clearly.

The terrifying aura and murderous spirit emanating from the other party was enough to prove that the Supreme Will had not lied to her in this regard and had indeed given her a fierce general.

It’s a pity that the other party is a person with supreme will, and Marika will not trust him.

Besides, she doesn't need it now.

So Marika just took a quick look and quickly lost interest.

She hugged Lin Yue's arms tightly, and leaned her head sweetly on Lin Yue's shoulder, not caring about the matter at all.

Lin Yue, on her side, looked at the old woman.

Grandma Jiezhi is a character that appears in the game as the messenger Erzhi who answers the player's questions about the Supreme Will and conveys the oracle.

But what’s interesting is that when they were playing the game, the finger-untying grandma in the round table hall said that Erzhi’s words were not credible.

This left players confused.

But after Lin Yue came here, she figured out what was going on.

I'm afraid that by the time the Faded Ones returned to the border area, Erzhi, the messenger of the Supreme Will, already had his own ideas.

The oracles conveyed to others are entirely His own meaning.

That's why the finger-unlocking mother-in-law said that the words of the finger cannot be trusted.

This is the same principle as the eunuchs in ancient times falsely conveying the emperor's edict.

What's more, later in the game you will encounter three fingers that give players the power of fire to burn everything.

This is enough to prove that the five fingers of the complete hand represented by the Supreme Will, fingers two and three have begun to disobey the orders of the Supreme Will at the junction.

Hands began to fight each other.

This also proves that the Supreme Will had gradually lost control of the border area at that time4.2.

And now, Erzhi is still loyal to the Supreme Will, so all the oracles now are the meaning of the Supreme Will.

Lin Yue smiled, then moved her gaze away from the Grandma who was untying her fingers and looked at the beast on the side.

This is the shadow bestowed upon Marika by the Supreme Will. It is said to be a guard, but in fact it is more like a monitor.

It makes it easier for the Supreme Will to control the gods and prevent them from betraying you.

This is the same as Lani's Blaze and Uncle Ge's Seros, both of which are means for the Supreme Will to control the border area.

The beast that had given Marika before him was a ferocious being.

Malicus, known as the Black Sword, is the guardian of the Death Rune.

This is also one of the reasons why Marika was able to establish the Golden Clan so smoothly and rule the border area.

If it weren't for Maliks, Marica would probably lose to the Queen of Night Eyes in the proxy war.
