In this life, her fate is still the same, but the difference is that when she was still young and only participated in two performances as a backup singer, she received a gift from an unknown dog-licking player, a federal specialty.
The magical construct headband.
Because of the conspiracy of the former Speaker, that thing was very cheap in the Federation at that time, almost giving it away for free.
However, due to the magical medieval background of the Yar continent, transportation in various places is relatively closed, and coupled with the control of the empire, constructed headbands are rare in the empire.
The subsequent plot development is very simple. The girl who received the ring often wears it after completing her daily tasks, so on the night of Ma'elim's arrival, she was naturally involved.
Afterwards, Anvis sealed the Speaker, cut off Maelim's connection with the world, and cleared away the power of eternal sleep that tainted the construct network. Helena woke up together with the others, and luckily gained abilities.
Perhaps because of her career as an opera singer, she gained the ability to convey her inner emotions to others through singing.
This does not sound like a very powerful ability. Helena herself was just excited when she first gained the new ability, thinking that she could achieve better performance results through this ability and live up to her adoptive father Lauren's care for her.
As for working as a receptionist in the Watcher Association, she just ran into trouble once when she was out. After being helped out by the last dragonborn who was passing by, she was invited by an elf player to work part-time as the receptionist of his newly established Watcher Association after completing daily training.
Reception positions.
Since the level of the last dragonborn has exceeded level 50, and he has participated in many important plot missions, he has gained a certain reputation in the empire.
He personally invited a first-level reserve actor, and without delaying Helena's growth, Lauren Windspeaker was happy to sell him a favor.
They are a national touring opera band and will not stay in White Light City for too long. It is not a big problem to let Helena be the receptionist for the time being.
Helena also agreed with the philosophy of the Watchmen Association and voluntarily joined it as a member.
.
….….
"...Is this so? It sounds so fun! What an exciting scene to perform in a grand performance under the watchful eyes of countless audiences."
"Hehe... It's actually nothing. I was just a backup singer at that time. Sister Fina, who is the lead singer, is the real protagonist."
In the hall of the Watcher's Association, Fiona and Helena gathered together and chatted intimately about some girlish topics. Anne was meditating aside to avoid disturbing them.
After getting along for a period of time, the two girls of similar ages have become familiar with each other.
Fiona is very interested in Helena's experience as an actress. After all, civilian life is too far away from her and has a hazy sense of mystery. Helena is also happy to share her highlight moments with new friends.
"...However, due to the outbreak of the war, we only stayed in Pyrose City for twenty days and had to continue our journey.
According to the news from the "Empire Morning News", two days after we left, Phenix City was involved in the war.
The Earl of Blackden's army surrounded the city, and the Lord of Phoenician City relied on defensive facilities to hold on, waiting for support. It is said that the city's protective array has now been breached, and it has entered the stage of street fighting. Less than half of the city has been destroyed by the attack magic of both sides.
"
As she said that, Helena couldn't help but sigh melancholy.
"Hey, Philly, when do you think the war will end? It will only bring death and destruction to everyone."
Just like Avis temporarily went by the name Vian, Fiona currently goes by the name Philly.
"Well, after His Majesty Gloria III disappeared, the eldest prince and the fourth princess Ao... both wanted to sit on the throne and become Gloria IV. Now almost all the forces under their command are at war. It is said that those who resisted
The military is also related to them.
The war will probably not truly end until they decide the outcome."
Fiona thought for a while and made a guess based on the information she knew.
"The eldest prince and the fourth princess? How long will it take to decide the winner? One year?"
Hearing Fiona's explanation, Helena was a little surprised. This kind of news, which was known to everyone in the upper echelons of the empire, was the first time she knew the inside information.
"I don't know how long it will take. There has never been a sudden disappearance of the emperor in the history of the empire. But the intensity of the war is not too strong now, and the high-ranking experts on both sides are only trying to deter each other and have not personally ended up.
I guess if there are no other special changes in the near future, this war will continue for at least a few more years."
Fiona shook her head honestly. She didn't know how long the civil war would last. After all, there was no precedent in history, and the information collected was insufficient, so she could only rely on simple guesses.
"That's it... I hope that after the new emperor takes office, peace can last longer."
Nodding somewhat glumly, Helena crossed her fingers and made a wish as if praying.
"By the way, brother, how long do you think the civil war in the empire will last?"
At this time, Fiona, who felt that she was not experienced enough, directly asked for help from the sidelines.
While the two girls were muttering, Anvis was leaning on a soft long sofa next to him, remotely controlling his clone in the floating city, and observing the situation of Marquis Draka.
Nearly twenty days have passed in the main material world. After spending an astronomical amount of magic power, Marquis Draka's consciousness is trapped in an illusion. His weakness has approached a critical point.
According to Bomia's analysis, if the situation continues, the probability of Marquis Draka discovering his true situation will exceed 90%.
The best time to try to control him is the near future. If he fails to succeed, it is almost certain that he will not be able to control the ninth-level powerhouse through the twisted seed with his eighth-level strength.
"Imperial Civil War...?"
Suddenly hearing Fiona's voice, Avis was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.
"I don't know, but it is impossible to end it within a year, or even within a few years. There are too many forces involved.
This is not only a conflict between the two princes, but also involves a battle over the ideals of the royal guardian, as well as a battle between high-level prophets.
In addition, the marquis whose strength is well preserved, the four major families of the empire, the Spark Resistance Organization, the Secret Song of Stars hidden in the dark, and the other two major empires on the mainland...
I don't know how many major forces took advantage of the civil war in the empire to carry out their own plans.
Just like the end of the era of Gloria II, although in historical records, today's Gloria III succeeded to the throne peacefully and handed over the Star Crown and the Sword of King Selection from His Majesty II.
But the real situation is that the third generation secretly contacted many forces, and after decades of arrangements, he successfully eliminated all the brothers and sisters who threatened his position, and finally took the seat that symbolized supreme power.
