Chapter 4138 [The Crimson Grand Duke] Also Wants to Improve
Having been summoned so rarely, the Crimson Grand Duke naturally wouldn't leave immediately.
—This isn't something I did voluntarily; it was His Highness who summoned me…
—【Root Cause】Don't do anything reckless...
However, the Crimson Grand Duke didn't stay in the spotlight for long. After saying a few meaningless words, he and Venus returned to the basement of the villa after its renovation.
"Is this the true teaching of the Primordial Demonic Sect?"
The Crimson Duke glanced at her casually... To be honest, if His Highness hadn't suddenly become interested, he wouldn't have bothered to look at someone like Fairy Linglong.
As for the issue of His Highness suddenly becoming interested—that's not a problem. What he fears is that His Highness will lose interest.
Venus nodded. "Among the true disciples of the [Glorious Ruins] in the past, their strength can only be considered average."
[Crimson Grand Duke] gave a soft "hmm". There are quite a few disciples of Guixu who participated in the [Void Arena]... The mid-level disciples among them are actually not bad, they just have bad luck.
"The Dao Celestial Path will not open for some time yet." The Crimson Grand Duke thought for a moment and said, "I cannot keep Your Highness waiting too long. I will open the Dao Celestial Path ahead of schedule..."
Venus was speechless. He suddenly felt that the master of the arena was really going all out... The Dao Celestial Path is one of the most famous scenic wonders in the Glorious Ruins, and there is a considerable price to pay to open it in advance.
It's not a question of whether or not we can give it.
The question isn't whether it's worth it. Holding such a competition feels like making a meal of dumplings for a dish of vinegar... it's like spending a lot of money on a trivial matter.
But Venus dared not say anything; in the arena, the arena master was supreme, and whatever he said went.
What he didn't know was that for the Crimson Grand Duke, as long as it was something that could make His Highness happy, spending any amount of money was no problem.
As a loyal subject of the empire, he had been waiting for this moment for far too long—he had even begun to think about making this competition a little more special.
Why not just hold a qualifying tournament... or why not just have a separate match with only His Highness as the audience, and everyone in the audience be a female disciple of [Glorious Return to the Ruins]?
This way they can play more freely...
The reason why [Crimson Grand Duke] was able to become the owner of the [Void Arena] back then was not only because he had the ability to suppress others, but also because of another very important factor - that is, [Crimson Grand Duke] is a person who knows how to have fun... you could call him a very high-class [Jester].
"In the meantime, you should train this female disciple well." [Crimson Grand Duke] looked at Venus. "Keep today's events to yourself... Just serve His Highness well, and you'll have a chance to become the deputy arena manager in the future."
This is a pie in the sky.
Venus had no choice but to eat it.
Venus nodded silently.
"Remember," the Crimson Grand Duke instructed again before leaving, "If His Highness wants you to know something, you can know it. If he doesn't want you to know something, don't ask."
Venus nodded again.
At this moment, [Crimson Grand Duke] suddenly glanced at the Fairy Linglong whose consciousness had been sealed. After thinking for a moment, he left without making a sound. He had already discovered that there were still some small tails left on the Fairy Linglong's body.
……
The galaxy twisted, and the eternal radiance of divine magic shimmered in the vacuum.
A beam of light emerged from the vortex... [Ink Jade] True Monarch frowned, surveying the massive man-made planet.
Many, many years ago, when he was a true disciple of the Demonic Cult, the training ground he chose was also the [Science Side]. However, at that time, [Marindo] did not exist, and the [Science Side] was not one of the three major empire factions it is today.
The strongest should be the group that calls themselves the "Hero Clan".
King Kleub, who created the Abriere Empire, was merely a minor Starry Sky Noble, still in the early stages.
The sect's [True Lord] is not allowed to interfere with the true disciple's training... but as long as it's not discovered, isn't that fine?
【Moyu】The true lord’s avatar has an extraordinary origin. It is the body of an elder in another Guixu sect that he secretly possessed after severing one of his primordial spirits.
As a top-tier demonic sect within the Void, the Tai Shi Demonic Sect faces virtually no pressure in doing this kind of thing.
"Come on, let me see who is plotting against my disciple from behind..."
Linglong Fairy was an important pawn in the scheme of True Lord Moyu for the Daotian Immortal Path. The pawn had mysteriously disappeared before it was even placed on the chessboard, and he would not let it go so easily.
But at that moment, the heart of the True Monarch [Moyu] suddenly began to pound wildly.
Before he could even react, the starlight around him suddenly dimmed, and his thoughts were sealed by darkness—this moment horrified True Monarch [Moyu].
"Oh no, this is..."
The next moment, the clone of True Monarch [Moyu], which had been possessed, was directly pulled away from the [Science Side] by a great force and then thrown into a strange place!
When the consciousness of the [Ink Jade] True Monarch's clone regained consciousness, he found himself in a vast, empty plaza.
"I wonder which great emperor is in front of us..."
[Moyu] True Monarch trembled all over at this moment. The title of "Great Emperor" is the name given by the Guixu Sect to the "Sun" level... Anyway, "Great Emperor" and "Indescribable" are all similar. The different names are because their respective lineages have been passed down for so long that they have long been fixed.
"Hmm, a body that has been possessed..."
The sound entered directly into the spirit of True Monarch [Moyu].
[Moyu] Zhenjun gasped, cold sweat pouring down his face. His possession was flawless, but... he still couldn't fool a Great Emperor!
"I am a disciple of the [Emperor of Darkness], and I truly do not know where I have offended you, senior..."
[Moyu] Zhenjun was already kneeling on the ground.
"【Sha An】?" The voice was ethereal. "Hmm... I've heard of him. He's just a lucky kid, nothing special."
[Moyu] Zhenjun's face was practically touching the floor. Regardless of whether this was an attempt to flatter him or not, he was a genuine Emperor-level figure, so what could he possibly refute?
[Moyu] True Monarch raised his head obsequiously, sensing a beam of light gathering before him. "Since Senior knows our sect's founder, this junior..."
"Who told you to look up?" The voice... [Crimson Grand Duke]'s voice was cold, and he really didn't intend to waste words with the other party. "I've taken a liking to your identity. That's it."
So... what is it?
[Moyu] True Monarch had no idea what was going to happen—he suddenly raised his head and saw the other party wave his hand, and the next moment, the primordial spirit of [Moyu] True Monarch's possessed body was directly stripped away.
This primordial spirit, [Crimson Grand Duke], wasn't wasted either; the arena has a dedicated soul battlefield, so it can be thrown in.
"Hmm... I'd better go myself."
[Crimson Grand Duke] muttered to himself, not because he was afraid that sending his subordinates would cause any trouble—but mainly because it would not demonstrate his dedication.
Besides, he himself hasn't had any fun in a long time...
……
……
……
……
"...Master, I...I'm about to set off!"
Keep it up!
Early in the morning, Xiao Baizhi quietly packed her backpack, made an energy bento box, and then wrapped a headband embroidered with the words "Victory is certain" around her neck before boarding the spaceship sent by Lucia to pick her up.
This time, her master didn't take her... Oh, this time her master made her go alone.
This was the first time Bai Zhi had acted alone for so long, so it was impossible for her not to be nervous—especially since her master had forbidden her from calling her "Sister Xia Ji"...
Little Angelica felt like she was about to be banned by her owner...
The spaceship quickly rendezvoused with the princess's forces and then headed to the interstellar portal—the ancestral home of the Abrier royal family—placed in a special subspace that required cooperation from multiple parties to open.
Soon, Xiao Baizhi met Lucia again.
"Your eyesight is pretty good."
Lucia glanced at Bai Zhi and then nodded.
In fact, if Bai Zhi hadn't also been able to awaken the royal crest, she wouldn't have cared about this clone of Raphael.
Even so, Bai Zhi's importance in the Princess's heart was far less than that of the real Raphael.
Furthermore, if possible, Lucia harbored some special thoughts, namely, if she could discover the secret that Bai Zhi, as a clone, could also awaken the royal crest...
After bringing Bai Zhi to the ancestral land this time, the eldest princess actually didn't plan to send Bai Zhi back... After returning, she would first find a reason to keep Bai Zhi here before discussing anything else.
Will Raphael go in with us?
Bai Zhi asked curiously.
“Yes, she will go in too.” Lucia nodded. “However, I won’t let you meet. Try not to feel guilty. I will send Cecil with you. She used to be a member of the Royal Knights and has been to the ancestral lands. You can rest assured.”
Bai Zhi nodded, then quickly looked at Cecil and bowed politely, "Thank you for your help, Miss Cecil."
"You're welcome."
Cecil smiled casually. He had a good impression of this special "royal" member... The little girl was sensible and polite, so she should be easy to get along with, right?
Lucia waved her hand, and Cecil stepped forward to take Bai Zhi away—after the spaceship passed through the stargate, she would quietly leave the main force with Bai Zhi.
Because the eldest princess will be working alongside Prince Raphael from now on... mainly so that she can keep an eye on that infamous witch at all times.
As the eldest princess's most trusted confidant, Cecil had long known about Miss Nan's identity... Cecil was skeptical about the eldest princess's choice to cooperate with the [Star Witch], but did not object.
After all, anyone who has studied the "scientific side" of the "Star Witch" knows that this is a very appealing thing.
……
Today, the Stargate in the first district of Marindor has been sealed off, and a large number of Star Patrol forces are stationed in all directions.
The ancestral land opens periodically, sending in qualified or meritorious members of the royal family, or those recognized by the royal family who will become members of the Royal Knights in the future.
In fact, those who can become members of the Royal Knights are more or less related to the royal family by blood... Those members of the royal family who left the royal court because of their low bloodline will also have descendants outside.
"Your Highness Justin, we are about to pass through the interstellar gate. Please be seated and ready."
This is the Royal Family's spaceship... Justin hasn't graduated from the academy yet and is still a student. Although his family has several spaceships, they are not qualified to travel to the ancestral land in their own spaceship.
There were other members of the royal family who were traveling with him on the clan association's spaceship.
Royal family members are not prohibited from bringing attendants when entering the ancestral land... However, the attendants' memories will be erased after they leave, and even royal family members who cannot awaken in the ancestral land will have their memories of the ancestral land wiped away after leaving.
Everything about the royal family's ancestral home is kept absolutely secret.
Justin took a deep breath and silently observed the attendants beside him—these were the people arranged by [Fuzo]'s appearance.
He had no particularly striking features, was of medium build, wore round-framed glasses, and had a smiling, squinty-eyed expression.
Justin only knew that the other person's name was "Kuros" and that he was male—that was all he knew.
"...Mr. Kuros, we're about to go in. Are you sure everything's alright?" Justin was still nervous.
[Kuros] said calmly, "Don't worry. Although it's true that only those with a quota can enter the inheritance ground in the ancestral land, no one will check before that. As for what happens after we arrive at the inheritance ground, I will naturally make arrangements."
Justin opened his mouth, having already heard Fernando explain the rules for entering and leaving the ancestral land... Since losers have their memories erased, Justin didn't understand how Mr. Fukuzo knew the secrets.
Could it be that there is a successful member of the royal family behind him?
"What exactly do you want to do in the Land of Inheritance..." Justin asked again.
He had asked Mr. Fukuzo about this question, but had not received an answer, so he turned his attention to this Kuros... what if the other party let it slip?
"Your Highness Justin, have you received your payment?" [Kuros] said calmly. "Then, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. That's the rule."
Justin shrugged, then quietly leaned against the window, watching the approaching Stargate... slowly stroking the ring on his hand.
Inside lies the Greatsword of Glory that Fernando had prepared for him.
He didn't know whether he should find an opportunity to hand over the Greatsword of Glory and gain the favor of that guardian—if he were to be closely watched and his deal with [Fuzo] was exposed, things would get very serious.
“Someone’s coming,” [Kuros] said abruptly.
He then lowered his head and stood beside Justin, silently playing the role of a follower.
Justin snapped out of his reverie and quickly looked over.
Inside the spaceship's main hall, a group of three people were slowly walking in.
Justin looked over curiously.
The one in the lead was a silver-haired boy wearing a baseball cap, who looked even younger than himself.
A blue-clad maid and a young man wearing a green vest and a half-covering silver mask.
“Big brother, I think you should be called Jacks Magis now!” the silver-haired boy said with a smile.
"Who is that?" the man in the green vest asked casually.
"In some time and space, he might be your brother-in-law!"
Hiro Yul remained silent; he was already used to the silver-haired boy's occasional ramblings—where did he get a brother-in-law from?
At this moment, Hiro Yul stopped, clearly having noticed Justin and his companion not far away.
Upon seeing Justin's signature royal green hair, Hill Yul immediately bowed respectfully... As a member of the Royal Knights, showing respect to royalty was almost an instinctive reaction honed through training.
Vivi was also curiously looking at Justin.
As a former student of the Royal Academy, she seemed to have met Prince Justin before.
“Young Master, that’s His Highness Justin,” Vivi whispered, “He’s a member of the royal family; I’ve seen him before…”
"So they're relatives?"
The silver-haired boy… [Wild] narrowed his eyes, then revealed a warm smile and strode towards him…
