Chapter 371 Aftermath

Chapter 371 Aftermath
The subsequent impact brought about by such a major event as the invasion of a palace-level demon naturally cannot be easily calmed down, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty also involved Ye Zhou in this.

Therefore, not only the Ming Dynasty, but other countries on the blue planet are also secretly paying attention to the subsequent development of the matter.

Of course, they had already learned the specific circumstances of that day through various means.

It’s just that because there were so many Ming Dynasty card makers present, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of gossip and all kinds of things being said.

For example, Russell fought with two hall-level beings until the avenue was wiped out, and the reason why Edley retreated was because he was injured by Ye Zhou's self-explosion.

True and false news are mixed together, and it is difficult to piece together the truth from the existence of other countries.

Of course, there are also more exaggerated versions, such as the four evil gods and Adley trying their best but still unable to defeat Russell, and Russell's body was shocked and Adley bowed down.

It's just too outrageous that most people won't believe it.

Russian Empire.

Ekaterina and Nicholas were looking down at the latest intelligence they had obtained from the Ming Dynasty, and behind them was Petrovna with her mouth opened into an "o" shape.

Her Majesty the Empress of Russia did not say anything to correct her daughter's behavior, because she was also very shocked at this moment.

After calming down a bit, she turned to look at Nicholas beside her: "Sir Nicholas, is this information true?"

Hearing this, Nicholas immediately came back to his senses. He nodded slightly and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, this information is compiled from the intelligence collected by our people in the Ming Dynasty."

"It should be a version that is closer to the truth of the matter."

Of course, Catherine knew the authenticity of the information in her hands.

She just.
Just a little dazed.

She looked at the photo in the intelligence that showed a crack that seemed to tear the world apart, and was speechless for a moment.

The photos were taken when the people in the rear of the Ming Dynasty were evacuated. There are several photos, ranging from the extremely ominous bloody state at the beginning to the blue color dyed by the Spirit King.

Ekaterina could tell at a glance that this was definitely not Ye Zhou's work. After all, she knew what the representative cards of the late Ming Dynasty's hall-level card maker looked like.

There is no doubt that this is what the young man who had previously excelled in joint operations did.

Fortunately, the Empire had already invested in the other party in advance, so the relationship between the two sides is not bad anyway.

Thinking of this, Her Majesty the Queen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly: "Notify them and raise his rank to the highest level."

"Yes."

Nicholas did not hesitate when he heard this and agreed immediately. He naturally knew who the "he" his majesty was referring to.

Tsarist Russia and the Ming Dynasty were so close that after the demonic army was defeated, there were bound to be opportunities for the two sides to deal with each other.

It is naturally necessary for everyone from the top management to the grassroots officials to be familiar with the appearance of the other party's top management to avoid unpleasantness.

Reality is not like movies and TV dramas, there are not so many scenes of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Even if there are only interests between countries, there is no need to offend each other for trivial matters.

And if it were the Ming Dynasty, they would do the same.

After a moment of silence, Ekaterina asked casually, "By the way, do you have any information about the specific abilities of the new card he created?"

Facing her question, Nicholas hesitated for a moment, then said carefully: "Based on the intelligence collected in the Ming Dynasty, it should be related to the ability of separation, healing, and transformation?"

As he spoke, the master card maker became a little uncertain for a moment, because it seemed that the correlation between these abilities was not particularly strong.

He paused before continuing, "As for Lord Edley..."

"He returned to the Indo-American Federation to take custody of the Skinners and then disappeared. He must have returned to Antarctica to suppress those secret realms."

“So there’s no news coming out from there.”

After saying this, Nicholas kept silent and waited quietly for Catherine's judgment.

After listening to his description, Ekaterina couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Judging only from this information, it seems that Russell's latest card is more functional and auxiliary.

Of course, such simple words cannot summarize a master-level card.

However, without more detailed information, even if she is a top-level card maker, she would not be able to see more useful information.

Ekaterina didn't think about it in the direction of "omniscience and omnipotence" at all. After all, this attribute would only appear on the top cards of the Holy See in most cases.

And the Ming Dynasty obviously has nothing to do with the Holy See.

It’s not that the top gods in the Ming Dynasty’s mythology system can’t do it, but this point is rarely emphasized.

Unable to figure it out for the moment, Ekaterina could only suppress her doubts temporarily and prepare to make a judgment after seeing the card with her own eyes in the future.

At this time, Nicholas asked, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty asked whether the Empire would attend Lord Ye Zhou's funeral."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress of Russia was stunned.

Although the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia is relatively good at present, under normal circumstances, other countries would not be invited to watch the death of a hall-of-fame card maker in the country.

In fact, the more low-key the better.

Thinking of this, Ekaterina couldn't help but murmur in her heart: "It seems that the Ming Dynasty is not as weak as I thought."

"Or"

Daming actually has so much confidence in Russell?
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Ming Dynasty was just making a show of force.

After thinking for a moment, she turned to look at her daughter and said, "Petrovna, this time you will represent the empire to go to Ming to offer condolences."

This was the most reasonable choice. As the supreme ruler of Tsarist Russia, Catherine certainly could not leave the country easily.

What's more, she and Ye Zhou are both hall-level card makers. If she goes there in person, it will inevitably steal the show.

In this situation, Petrovna, the crown prince of Tsarist Russia, was very suitable. She would not make the Ming Dynasty feel that the empire was too strong, and it would also show their respect.

The girl who heard her name came back to her senses immediately, pointed at herself with a confused look and said, "Ah?"

"me?"

However, after seeing her like this, Ekaterina began to doubt whether her decision was correct.

But in the end, Her Majesty the Queen did not say much. After all, no one is born knowing how to deal with the ways of the world. One has to grow up slowly after experiencing more.

It’s just that some people are fast and some are slow.

My own daughter should just be a little slower, right?
Of course, it was impossible for only Tsarist Russia to be notified of Ye Zhou’s funeral. Basically all countries on the Blue Planet were invited.

The same was true of the Mughal Empire south of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, in a huge dome palace, a fair-skinned, handsome man was soaking in a pool of white hot steam, enjoying the service of a beautiful maid beside him.

In front of the pool, a white-skinned middle-aged man with a red dot on his forehead was crawling on the ground, speaking with an extremely respectful expression: "Your Majesty, this is what happened."

Perhaps the lower caste people of the Mughal Empire would never have imagined that the Brahmins, who seemed like gods to them, would actually wag their tails and beg for mercy from others like dogs.

After listening to the other party's story, the young man named "Motian" slightly raised his upper body, allowing it to float to the surface and lean against the edge of the pool.

The maid was very considerate and came behind him to massage his shoulders.

Motian yawned slowly, then said weakly: "Ye Zhou is dead."

"I was wondering why he went crazy that day."

"But what a fool that Edley was. He just watched Jinping and his gang fooling around like that." "Heh"

As he said this, he couldn't help but sneer, not sure whether he was laughing at Ye Zhou or Edley.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly showed a playful smile on his face: "Talk to Daming and tell them that I will attend Ye Zhou's funeral in person."

Hearing these words, the middle-aged man who had been crawling on the ground suddenly raised his head, but when he saw the two naked beauties behind Motian, he quickly lowered his head again.

He said with some difficulty: "Your Majesty."

“I’m afraid this is a little inappropriate.”

Hearing him say this, Motian curled his lips in disdain: "If Ye Zhou was still alive, I would be a little more afraid of him."

"But now there are only a few old, weak and sick people left in the Ming Dynasty. I want to see if they still have the courage to show their teeth to me."

"I'm not that kind of guy, Edley."

Having said this, the middle-aged man no longer had the reason or courage to dissuade her.

He could only respond respectfully: "Yes, I will convey your majesty's will to the Ming Dynasty."

After saying this, he turned around while lying on his stomach, then stood up and prepared to leave the palace.

At this moment, Motian suddenly said lazily: "Did you see it just now?"

"Leave your eyes here."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man instantly trembled like a sieve, but he still suppressed his fear and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes."

As he said this, he actually stretched out his hand and dug out his two eyeballs. Blood immediately dripped down his cheeks onto the marble floor.

Then, he turned around and carefully placed his eyeballs on the ground. After bowing to Motian, he staggered out of the palace.

Seeing this scene, the two beauties whispered in Motian's ear: "The Lord is so merciful that he only wanted his eyes."

Hearing this, Motian grinned, stretched his hands back, and said:
"Ha, I think so too."

At the same time, Great Britain on the other side of Blue Star had naturally also learned of Ye Zhou's death.

After hearing the news, King George VII couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas"

"What a troubled time."

Lyon, who had dealt with Russell before, was now half-kneeling under the throne in confusion. He had no idea what His Majesty the King wanted to see him about.

When he came, he also tried to bribe the eunuch, but the damn eunuch said he didn't know after taking the money.

However, Lyon did have some guesses about this strange attitude.

"Is His Majesty going to designate me as the crown prince?!"

Thinking of this possibility, his heart couldn't help but start pounding.

But George VII's next words made Lyon's brain freeze: "Mr. Ye Zhou, the hall-level card maker of the Ming Dynasty, has passed away, and his funeral will be held soon."

"Leon, you can go there for me when the time comes."

Hearing this, Leon looked up dully, hardly able to believe his ears.

However, when George VII's extremely serious face came into his sight, he knew that His Majesty was not joking.

“Me me!?”

Leon opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Seeing him like this, George VII's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he explained aloud: "You know the current situation in Great Britain. I definitely can't get away."

"It just so happens that you have recently broken through to the Diamond level, and you have a history with Russell from Daming, so you are the most suitable candidate this time."

At first, when Leon heard the first few sentences, he didn't react much. After all, he knew that His Majesty was telling the truth.

But I felt something was wrong afterwards.

"Ro Russell?!"

Lyon blankly repeated the name that shouldn't have appeared.

Seeing him like this, George VII handed over a piece of information.

After receiving the information, Leon subconsciously began to read it.

The more you look at his expression, the more interesting it becomes.

What killed several master-level demons, what successfully resisted the invasion of hall-level demons?
No brother, is this really the Russell he had met before?

Did I do something wrong?

How come the other person has become so weird after not seeing each other for a few years?
It’s clear that the last time we met, we were all just Emerald-level card makers!

Leon couldn't help swallowing, and the secret joy in his heart because of his promotion to diamond level disappeared without a trace.

After a long while, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will never bring shame to Great Britain."

After saying this, Lyon bowed to George VII and then walked out.

Outside the palace, he looked at the clouds in the sky and still felt like he was dreaming.

Ming dynasty.

Russell didn't know that the situation outside was turbulent because of Ye Zhou's funeral, because he was preparing to make his first master card.

Looking at the [Disaster Fox], [Origin of the Immortal Path], and [Savior of Destiny] placed on the table, Russell took a deep breath and wrapped his mental power around them.

Then, he was in a trance and came to the card-making space?

Looking at the vast expanse of white space in front of him, Russell frowned slightly: "Where is this?"

Just when he was wondering about it, a voice suddenly caught his attention.

"You came."

Russell turned his head and saw a white figure whose face he couldn't see clearly sitting on the ground looking at him quietly.

"truth??"

“Is this behind the Gate of Truth?”

He recognized the other person's appearance because it looked very familiar.

But soon, Russell determined the true identity of the white figure. He curled his lips and said, "Are you the world consciousness?"

Hearing this, the white figure shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether it's truth or world consciousness, or what you want to call it."

"If you don't like this look, I can change into something else."

As he spoke, the white figures turned into two little girls under Russell's gaze, and then two childish voices overlapped and rang out: "Or do you prefer this look?"

Seeing this, Russell was silent for a moment, then said expressionlessly: "You should change back."

"I'm not ready to go to Valhalla."
