The royal palace in the storm was like a giant beast lurking in the dark. Lights flickered in the storm and strong winds, and the female servants were struggling to walk along the walls of the corridor, trying their best to maintain the normal operation of the royal palace where the highest authority of the Roth Empire resided.
At this moment, on the top floor of the tallest hall in the depths of the palace, a figure was standing by the window, looking toward the north of the city.
The oil lamp with a windproof lampshade swayed slightly, reflecting the king's majestic face and the dark shadow behind him.
"Alex has appeared. Judging from the energy waves, he's probably not any weaker than when he was at his peak."
The figure behind him that was completely hidden in the darkness spoke. His hoarse voice couldn't hide his surprise.
Andre's expression darkened slightly. He frowned, and said, "He really didn't die, but how did he recover? You said that even if he didn't die, he would only be a cripple for the rest of his life. "
The black shadow was silent for a while. "Do you need me to go and take a look?"
"No need. If those fools don't have any backup plans, they'll have to swallow the fact that six 10th-tier powerhouses died in Rodu. How delightful would that be?" Andre shook his head slightly.
The black shadow pondered, and said, "But Sean is also involved in this matter. If Alex is indeed still alive and has recovered to his peak state, Josh might also be in trouble."
The corners of Andre's mouth curled up as he sneered, "They brought this trouble upon themselves. In order to inherit the throne, the two of them have done a lot of things behind my back. Although I have seen it all, it's not time for me to die yet. When necessary, I should give them a warning and let them know who is the true master of the empire."
"I've been the king for so many years, and let the Roth Empire grow steadily. I'm not paving the way for them. Only I have the right to walk this path."
"If Alex isn't dead, then let him live. He's a human, after all, isn't he?"
The rain seemed to have become heavier, and shrouded the palace like a curtain of water.
That black shadow didn't reply, and Andre didn't say anything else. He held the railing with both hands, and his deep eyes were still looking toward the north of the city, as if he was waiting for something.
…
The Wind Forest
The Tree of Life, which had always been calm and peaceful, suddenly erupted with green light. Green light rose from the hole in the tree, and then condensed into a beam of light that streaked across the sky and flew toward the west.
The elves all walked out of the tree holes and houses, and looked up with shock and bewilderment.
"Irina!"
In a quiet tree hole, the Elven Queen opened her eyes, revealing a trace of concern and nervousness. In the blink of an eye, she appeared on the top of the tree. Looking at the wisps of green light rising from the Tree of Life, her expression was somewhat solemn.
"How could this be?"
In the starry sky sky cave, Helena, Elven, Elin the sky, Helena's in the sky in the sky sky.
Every star in the starry sky represented an elf. The brightest star was the Elven Queen, and the star that represented Irina was the second brightest star in the starry sky.
But now, the originally dazzling star had become very dim, as if it would be annihilated at any time.
. Helena turned toward the Tree of Life, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
Something like this had only happened three years ago. At that time, Irina had returned to The Wind Forest, and suffered from severe bleeding during labor. She had almost lost her life, and only managed to survive under the protection of the Tree of Life. She had rested for a full three years before emerging from the mountain cave.
Now, Irina was tens of thousands of kilometers away in Rodu, and the Tree of Life was acting strangely. Something had most likely happened to her, and she was in an extremely perilous situation.
"Irina, that damned woman, is finally going to die!"
An ecstatic expression appeared on Heidi's face at the sight of the flickering star.
Helena looked down at the hunchbacked Heidi, and a dangerous light flashed through her eyes as she asked in a cold voice, "What did you do?"
Heidi felt as if her entire body had been sealed in ice. Her legs gave out from under her, and she fell to her knees involuntarily. She was a little horrified and deranged as she said, "Mistress, I … I only delivered a letter to her. That b * tch is far too detestable. She has no respect for you, and she even killed Master Houston. She deserves to die …"
Helena extended a hand toward Heidi, and Heidi's neck seemed to have been gripped by a giant invisible hand. She was slowly lifted into the air until she was at the same height as the platform. She looked at her with a cold expression as she asked, "You colluded with a foreign race to kill Irina?"
Heidi's face had turned deathly pale, but she was still staring at Helena with a deranged expression as she said, "Mistress, I did all of this for you! If Irina dies, you can make whoever you want the princess. When that time comes, the entire elven race will kneel at your feet. Now, she's going to die."
"Shut up!"
A loud slap rang out within the cave, and Heidi's head was almost sent flying. She twisted her neck with a look of bewilderment and horror on her face.
Helena's face was filled with rage as she yelled, "Do you know what Irina represents? She's the hope of the elven race for the next 1,000 years! No elf can replace her, and no elf can compare to her. How dare you collude with a foreign race to kill her? Do you want to become a sinner of the entire elven race?! "
Heidi's face was extremely pale, and she felt as if she were about to pass out from asphyxiation. However, what made her feel even more despair wasn't death. Instead, it was Helena's attitude. Heidi was willing to die for Mistress Helena, and she wasn't afraid of infamy. However, she could sense Helena's fury, and she was perplexed as she said, "But she … she never respected you, Mistress … I …"
"What I want is for the elven race to prosper. I want the elven race to be revered by all races on the Norland Continent. It doesn't matter whether she respects me or not. Even if she wants to kill me, I'll keep her alive as she'll never allow any elf to be bullied by another race." Helena looked at Heidi with a cold expression before releasing her grip, and Heidi plummeted from a height of over 10 meters, breaking countless bones amid a dull thump.
Helena looked up at the dim star with a cold expression, and said, "If she dies, then you'll be buried with her."
…
"Your Highness, our scouts have reported that a third party has appeared on the second street, and the plan has been thwarted. It's most likely Alex."
In a tall building, a black shadow flashed into the room, and spoke in a grim voice.
"Ding!"
The golden cup in Sean's hand fell to the ground with a crisp clang, and began to spin on the floor.
