After the state banquet, two pieces of news quickly spread throughout the northern world.
The first is that the Queen married the great magician Russell, and the great magician Russell became the prince of Helm. This is generally good news, especially for the civilians of the Kingdom of Helm, it means that the kingdom has a powerful person.
's guardian.
The second one was the patriarch of the Holy Helm family for three thousand years, the great lord, a duke, and two marquis, who died unexpectedly at the state banquet. The reason turned out to be a ridiculous intention to assassinate the queen.
After the news came out, the three major families immediately announced their separation from the Kingdom of Helm and fell into the arms of the Kingdom of Sithis. The successor clan leader even vowed revenge.
This played into the plans of the Sithis royal family. So, with the armies of the three major families as the vanguard and the King of Sithis as the main body, the revenge army began to form, vowing to seek justice from the Helm Kingdom.
This is absolutely bad news.
Because of these things, Tolia began to mobilize troops everywhere to organize troops to defend against the invasion of the Kingdom of Sithis. She got up at four o'clock in the morning every day, and went back to her room to sleep at one o'clock in the evening, and only rested for three hours a day.
Night, late at night, almost two o'clock in the morning.
Next to the classic and luxurious big bed, the exquisite magic lamp exuded a white and soft light. Sun Ran leaned on the back of the bed and quietly read the magic book.
There was a soft click, and the bedroom door opened gently. Several gentle conversations came from the door. Then, Tolia, dressed in formal clothes, walked gently into the bedroom. She gently took off her white mink waistcoat and
I put on my heavy clothes, then walked into the bathroom nearby, and closed the door again with a click.
There was the sound of water inside. After some time, Tolia came over and sat on the bed in her nightgown. While rubbing her wet hair with a towel, she asked, "It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"
Sun Ran closed the magic book and said with a smile: "I couldn't sleep until you came back."
Then he lightly snapped his fingers, and a mist of water evaporated from Tolia's wet hair. The mist quickly disappeared. Her hair was also dry.
"You~" Tolia smiled fondly, threw the towel aside, got into the bed, leaned into Sun Ran's arms, then yawned long and closed her eyes.
She was very tired. She had been dealing with the kingdom's political affairs almost day and night these days, and even she was a little overwhelmed.
Sun Ran could clearly feel that Tolia's body had lost a lot of weight, and her round chin had become a bit more pointed. There were obvious dark circles around her eyes, which had to be covered up with heavy makeup every day.
"Liya, is the situation in the kingdom okay?" Sun Ran asked.
"There is a little trouble, but don't worry, I will take care of it." Tolia comforted instinctively, her voice was dazed, she was so tired that she almost fell asleep.
Sun Ran stopped asking and gently extinguished the magic lamp.
In fact, there was no need to ask. From just a few words from the mouth of the magic apprentice in the alchemy room, Sun Ran had already made a rough inference about the situation in the kingdom.
Sithis's revenge army is said to be five hundred thousand. With the two great righteousnesses of "nobility of noble blood" and "revenge of the dead great lord", it attacks all the way with overwhelming force. The lords of the Helm Kingdom have no fighting spirit and are invincible and turn to the other side.
Now, the Revenge Army has roughly reached Pittsburgh, 500 kilometers east of the Red Dragon Fort. It is also the border fortress of the royal fief.
As long as Pittsburgh is captured, the Revenge Army will rush all the way to the Red Dragon Fort without any hindrance. The Red Dragon Fort is difficult to defend alone, and it is only a matter of time before it is breached.
So, can Pittsburgh hold off the Revenge? No one expects that.
In short, the situation is very, very bad. The Helm Kingdom may not necessarily perish, but the Lucio family will definitely be driven out of power.
"Russell, why don't you speak?" Tolia said again in a daze.
"It's late, should you sleep?"
"I don't want to sleep. We haven't said a word all day long. It's a rare opportunity now." Tolia woke up again.
Sun Ran smiled and said, "Okay. I want to tell you some good news."
Tolia's starry eyes opened slightly, and she turned her head to look at Sun Ran, waiting for him to say it.
"I have made a big breakthrough in the research direction of the origin of mental power. I found that the problem of magic backlash is not inevitable, and can be avoided with some mental power techniques." Sun Ran said.
Tolia was shocked and asked: "You mean, you can release advanced magic with your bare hands without using a staff?"
Sun Ran nodded: "I already have some results, but they haven't been finalized yet. Moreover, releasing advanced magic with bare hands is just one benefit I got from exploring the origin of mental power. Another benefit is that I discovered some tricks to increase the speed of spell casting.
, which allows many spells to achieve near-instant effects. However, like the former, it is still immature and needs to be perfected."
Tolia became more and more shocked. She avoided the backlash of magic power and greatly increased the casting speed to nearly instantaneous cast. Each of these two items broke the rule barriers set by the game company.
She knew that Russell would eventually become a legendary mage, or even surpass one. But she didn't expect that Russell would move so fast!
If this rate continues, perhaps in less than two years, he will be able to truly realize the truth of the world and the existence of the real world, thus obtain a true eighth-level authority and be promoted to the realm of legend.
'Once a magician proves the existence of the real world from all aspects through research, rather than just conjecture, then the memory barrier will automatically disappear, and this magician will be a legendary magician!' This rule is set by the game company
, is a test and a way for the company to select talents.
At that time, how could a twenty-three-year-old legendary mage embarrass the peerless geniuses of his generation?
Tolia thought of the current situation in the kingdom again, gritted her teeth, and asked: "Russell, if one day I am no longer the queen of the Helm Kingdom, will you still be with me?"
"Of course, you are my wife." Sun Ran said.
Tolia breathed a sigh of relief and told the truth: "The situation in the kingdom... is very bad. I seem to have no choice but to surrender."
"Why did you give up so early? Are they the so-called Revenge Army?"
"Well, the scout's report is that there are 300,000 people, almost all of them elites, with all the siege equipment. We can't stop them." Tolia said weakly.
She discovered that the war in the mortal world was different from what she imagined, and she was not the omnipotent goddess she had been before. After fighting like this, she was about to lose. Anyway, she would definitely not be able to be a queen.
Sun Ran smiled and said: "Don't you still have me? I will stop them when the time comes!"
"Don't say stupid things." Tolia's fingers gently pressed Sun Ran's lips: "My throne is not important. What is important is you. Nothing can happen to you."
An army of 300,000 people and a battle mage group composed of hundreds of magicians are simply not something that a great magician can resist.
The Great Magician is very powerful, but he is not a god. He may kill thousands of soldiers, but in the end he cannot change the general situation.
So, it doesn't make sense.
"As long as we live, it's fine. Our common names in the world are not important. You are a great magician. Before the army comes, just go back to the City in the Sky. No one will make things difficult for you."
It would be too terrifying if a great magician tried his best, so as long as the great magician did not insist on blocking the way and killing a few people, no one would fight with him, even the nobles and lords.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that it’s not worth it.
"What about you?" Sun Ran asked.
"Me? I will come to you after I finish handling the matter at Red Dragon Castle, and I will always be by your side from now on." Tolia said.
Sun Ran was silent for a long time, suddenly turned around, lay on Tolia, and whispered: "It's been a long time since we were intimate, tonight..."
Before he finished speaking, Tolia took the initiative to kiss his lips.
After a lot of ups and downs, Tolia said: "You can leave tomorrow, don't worry about me."
"Well, I understand." Sun Ran responded vaguely.
"Be obedient and don't act like a child, I'm serious!" Tolia said seriously.
"Okay, I'll go back to Sky City tomorrow, I promise."
"That's so good... Well, you're coming again!"
…
Not to mention the one-night romance, Tolia got up late the next day. When she woke up, the person beside her was gone. There was a letter left on the bedside. When she opened it, there was a line of words in Russell's handwriting.
"I'm leaving.—Russell."
I don’t know why, although she knew the result, Tolia still felt empty in her heart. In fact, deep down in her heart, she secretly hoped that Russell could stay and face the powerful enemy with her, but... forget it.
No, this is irrational. Russell’s survival is the most important thing! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
