The next morning, in the Rohlserlian Palace, a maidservant, who was serving breakfast to the Emperor, yawned when no one was looking. She did not sleep well last night because she could hear the mournful cries of a young girl coming from the depths of the palace. Rumor had it that the cries came from the newly crowned Princess Mia's bedroom. The next day, the maidservant, who was in charge of cleaning the palace, had to clean up a few broken feather dusters. It was hard to imagine what had happened the night before.
"So, why did you stay out all day?" The Emperor asked Baiyi, who was sitting beside him, as he ate his breakfast.
"I had to find a place for the refugees to settle down and make sure that it was safe before I brought them into the palace. What if she suddenly went berserk and hurt someone?" Baiyi replied.
"That's very thoughtful of you, but you could have just ordered the servants to do it." The Emperor glanced at Little Mia, who had not said a word, and asked, "Didn't you go a little too hard on her?"
At that moment, Mia did not look any different from the outside. The only difference was that the corners of her eyes were slightly red and her lips were pouting, looking very unhappy. In her arms was the kitten that she had brought back from the town yesterday and in her other hand was the milk bubble that she had gotten from Baiyi. She was carefully feeding the milk to the little furball that had yet to open its eyes. Beside her, there was a round and fluffy chick that was pacing back and forth on the table, looking around curiously at the unfamiliar environment that it was in.
If that was the case, it would seem that everything was fine and nothing had happened. However, one look at the layers of soft cushions under Little Mia's butt, and one could guess what had happened to her last night.
Mia's first reaction when she returned to the palace yesterday was to roll on the ground and act cute, but when she saw Baiyi walking towards her with a feather duster in his hands, she screamed, "Royal Gramps, help me!" But the Emperor ignored her as if he did not hear her at all.
"You're already a grown-up, but you're still acting like a child. If I didn't get there in time, I can't imagine what would have happened," Baiyi said, feeling a pang of fear. If it were not for the fact that Baiyi was here, Mia would have probably thrown herself at the Angel without a care in the world. Then, considering the indifference and strength of the angel, and the attitude of the swindler towards Rohlserl, it was very likely that a conflict would break out. With Mia's current strength, even with her godly armor, it would still be very difficult for her to fight against the angel. After all, the angel was an enemy that even the Fifth Walker found difficult to deal with, and he had to use his ultimate skill to defeat it.
However, Mia did not think the same way. Perhaps it was because her first rebellious act had successfully triggered her rebellious phase that had been delayed for many years. The little girl was actually questioning Baiyi's judgment? This was especially true after Lulu's eyepatch was removed, and Lulu's body proportions and development were verified. She had been naive enough to believe that Lulu would not harm her, and that she would be able to wake Lulu up with the power of friendship. She would not have been beaten unconscious by Baiyi until this very moment.
Baiyi's assumption was based on the fact that the angel's battle with Baiyi did not affect her, and the angel's kindness in pushing her away.
Baiyi scoffed at this statement and mocked on the spot, "Friendship? What good would that do? Did they really think friendship was magic? Are you a Rainbow Pony? "
A quarrel broke out between father and daughter, but it was not Baiyi's main reason for waving his feather duster. Instead, it was the problem of how to deal with the captive. Mia insisted on taking care of the unconscious Lulu herself, while Baiyi wanted to use more forceful methods. Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Mia suddenly felt dizzy and threw a water bomb at Baiyi.
"She regretted it after that, and she cried and apologized last night. But when she woke up this morning, she started throwing a tantrum again," Baiyi explained.
"Ugh, it still hurts, and he won't let me take my medicine," Mia replied in a low voice. She shifted her bottom a little, and the pain made her grimace.
"Your teacher is doing this for your own good. I support his judgment in this matter. You're too reckless when it comes to dealing with an angel. You need to learn from your mistakes," the Emperor said. As the Emperor spoke, he consoled, "But you should drink some medicine to treat your injuries. Just looking at you makes my heart ache."
Baiyi did not say a word. Instead, he quietly handed over a bottle of purple potion, which was used to heal external injuries. It was the latest healing potion developed by the Alchemy School and Undine's family. It could heal even severe injuries in a short amount of time. It was one of the best healing potions available on the market, and it had always been in short supply. Fortunately, Baiyi had used his position as the Principal of the Alchemy School to snatch some for himself.
The Emperor recognized the potion from the memories he had inherited from the Book of Servitude. "This is a special experimental potion, Model 666. It's called the Purple Miracle, and it's the best healing potion on the market. Many people use it as their last resort, and yet you're using it like this. Looks like your teacher still cares about you."
Mia was moved by the Emperor's words. She lowered her head in embarrassment and murmured, "Thank you, Mr. Hope …" She took a small sip of the potion and carefully put away the remaining half of the bottle. It seemed that she was going to give it to Lulu. However, his complexion immediately became much better. It seemed that even a small mouthful had an outstanding effect.
"Alright, let's get back to business. Where is the captive? What's his condition? "The Emperor asked.
"He's locked in a reinforced cell in the palace's basement. It's the same cage you used to keep wild beasts in. I've modified it a little, so it should be safe," Baiyi replied. Baiyi replied. It was also because of this decision that he had quarreled with Mia. When the little girl saw that he was treating her best friend like a wild animal, it was not surprising that she would retaliate.
"As for that swindler, I left him with Captain Aegis. He said that he would find a professional with no sense of honor or compassion to deal with him. As expected, he delivered the statement this morning," Baiyi replied. He took out a scroll of parchment and handed it to the Emperor. Mia's eyes widened in curiosity. She, too, wanted to know what the swindler had done to her friend.
"Let me see … Someone's meticulously prepared meal didn't even use it, and he confessed everything? Tsk tsk, what a spineless swindler. He doesn't even have the integrity of a swindler … "The Emperor read the statement, and from time to time, he picked out some important details and told Mia what had happened.
The swindler's real name was not Yura; it was a series of strange names. He was originally a citizen of a small country on the border between the Rohlserlian and Mannserlian. When a conflict broke out between the two countries, his home was destroyed, and his hatred for both Rohlserlian and Mannserlian grew. He fled to Mannserlian, where he was captured as a slave, and was sent to Canninus to build the so-called Tower of Ascension.
Of course, he did not know why the Tower of Ascension was, in fact, just a bunch of strange things laid on the ground. He had been living like a dog until a while ago, when the Emperor and a group of Rohlserlian sorcerers stormed into Canninus and bombarded the city before leaving. In the process, the sorcerers had accidentally killed a few of his fellow workers, some of whom were women who had helped each other through thick and thin. A stray bullet had sliced off the lower half of his body, and he had been lying on the construction site, waiting for his death.
As he lay dying, he remembered the words of the swindlers in Canninus. He prayed to an unknown god, and his prayers were answered. A powerful consciousness entered his body and healed his wounds.
The angel did not possess the Emperor's body. Instead, she introduced herself.
"That consciousness called herself Noirciel, the Fourth Angel of the Divine Realm. She serves the God of Time, Tylemus, and is the Archangel Leader. She descended to the Lower Realms under Tylemus's command to investigate the anomalies in the world, but she did not bring his authority with her. Instead, she was blessed by Darranth, the God of Power, and her light will shine upon the world …" The Emperor murmured. These words did not seem to come from the mouth of an uneducated swindler. He sighed. "That's a lot of information, isn't it? If I remember correctly, this God of Power is someone I know. "
"The incident in Mars was caused by the Godsfall cult trying to steal this unlucky bastard's authority," Baiyi said, helping the Emperor recall. "This time, she randomly blessed someone else's angel. No wonder I was wondering why physical attacks were ineffective against her, but the Void Energy, which she claimed to be outside of the Laws, was effective against her. That must be the reason, right? Really, this guy's hands are so long. No wonder others covet his power in the future. "
"The God of Time, Tylemus, isn't mentioned in the Bard's Lore. Does that mean he's never established his own cult in the mortal realm?" Baiyi asked.
"That guy who thinks with his lower body? Do you really expect him to collect information on all religions?" The Emperor sneered. "No matter what, he's a low-profile god, and yet he sent his Archangel Leader to the Lower Realms with such fanfare? It's not that hard to guess. "
Baiyi and Mia could not help but look at each other. Both of them knew that the Angel's sudden descent into the Lower Realm was probably because of them, and if that was the case, Mia would be in even more danger if she was alone with the Angel.
However, both of them had appeared in front of her, and they had even exchanged blows. Did she not notice anything amiss? Was the angel too stupid? Or was she too good at hiding herself? Or was there more to her purpose in descending to the Lower Realms?
