The ordinary-looking woman looked at Gu Qing Shan, then moved her gaze away from where his hands were covering her face and met his eyes.
She casually said: "I am Maria, the princess of the Roland empire. There's something I want to discuss with you, but you should first wash away the stench of blood on your body and change into a suitable set of clothes before we talk"
"I think so as well" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Maria clasped her hands behind her back and left.
The six maids quickly returned with a new set of clothes, then also left.
The door closed.
"Princess? What for? "the duck plushie asked in confusion.
"Who knows?" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow drew his rapier, then poked himself, then poked Gu Qing Shan's body.
Flames flickered from their bodies.
The dust and stench of blood on their bodies completely faded away.
"All the filth has been burned away? What an intricate flame manipulation technique "
Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
The blood on his scalp had been completely burned away, but not a single strand of his hair had curled up or caught on fire due to the high temperature.
Crow sounded a bit prideful: "I just think that you don't need to use water for bathing"
He glanced at the duck plushie, then said: "You still need to wash — — wash yourself in the sun"
The two of them separated and changed into their clothes.
"That's enough" Gu Qing Shan raised her voice.
Bam!
The door was pushed open.
The six maids came in. A few of them took Crow away to rest, while the others led Gu Qing Shan up a flight of stairs to a garden in the sky.
Princess Maria was sitting on a bench in the middle of the flowers, holding a book in her hand.
"Your Highness, he's here" one of the maids said.
The princess waved her hand and gestured for Gu Qing Shan to sit on the other side of the table.
"I don't like to waste time, Count Rhode, I have something I need to discuss with you" she said.
Everyone else had been pushed away, leaving only her and Gu Qing Shan in the sky garden.
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Qing Shan also changed her attitude and said:
"Please go ahead, Your Highness"
"Do you think the evil spirits are powerful?" Maria asked.
"If they can no longer leave this world, and have been possessed, they can no longer use the Life Talismans and Sigil techniques that they were proficient in before. Their defeat is only a matter of time" Gu Qing Shan said.
"But the war is now in a stalemate, isn't it?" Maria said.
"Yes … this is a bit strange, could it be that we're trying to preserve our strength?" Gu Qing Shan pondered.
Maria looked at him and said, "A few days ago, there were sudden changes in living beings all over the world. Rhode, you were among the first to discover it."
"That's right, in my town, two wraiths turned into monsters" Gu Qing Shan said.
He suddenly reacted and his expression changed. "Could it be …"
"Yes, the plague has already descended. Those top-notch experts are currently fighting against it," Maria said.
Gu Qing Shan released her spiritual sense and quickly scanned through the entire Holy Crown City.
It was peaceful and peaceful.
"Do you find it strange that you haven't seen any mutated beings?" Maria asked.
"That's right, what exactly is going on?" Gu Qing Shan didn't understand.
Maria looked at him with a judging gaze and slowly explained: "You're only 15 years old, the adults have decided to protect you, so they didn't send you into the Chasm to fight"
"Chasm?"
"That's right, the Combatants have joined hands to create a Chasm Space. Any mutated infected beings or cities that were destroyed by the plague would immediately be transported to that Chasm Space due to the repulsion of the Laws of this world"
Maria continued: "The true war is actually happening in that Chasm Space"
Gu Qing Shan realized and said in realization: "So that's how it is, because the Combatants are fighting on two fronts, they split their attention, allowing the wraiths to temporarily maintain a stalemate"
His heart sank.
Originally, I was confused. Even though the signs of the plague had already appeared, how did it return to normal in the past few days?
So the situation had already deteriorated to this point.
"Count Rhode, I have a suggestion" Maria said.
"What is it?"
"Let's be frank, I've actually seen that your true form is a dragon"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised and looked at her.
She stared straight at Gu Qing Shan.
"… Yes" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
A victorious smile appeared on Maria's face as she continued, "Earl Rhode, both you and I are not of age, so we are excluded from the real battle by the adults. However, if we bring out our true strength, we will definitely be qualified to participate in this battle."
Gu Qing Shan understood a bit.
— — if this princess was willing to take him to participate in the war, Gu Qing Shan was more than willing to agree.
He gestured for her to continue.
Sure enough, Maria said: "Count Rhode, how about the two of us cooperate?"
"Your Highness, how would you like to cooperate?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Maria replied: "To enter the Chasm Space to fight, you must be at least 18 years old and possess sufficient strength. Both you and I have no issues with our strength, only our age difference is a bit, so I have a compromise"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The summoner and his summoned being can be counted together, be it in terms of strength or age," Maria said.
"That way, both our ages would be sufficient" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Do you agree?" Maria asked.
"I'm more or less in agreement, but I don't know how to do it"
"That's simple, you'll form a covenant with me and become my summoned mount"
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
"You … ride me?" he asked.
"That's right, although you're only a young dragon, you've already killed a Magic Scale Dragon, you're worthy of me" Maria replied.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit, then reluctantly asked: "Can't it be a summoning spell? Me as your summoning companion? "
Maria scowled: "You mean being my pet?"
"… I mean summoning companions" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's called a War Pet, and a pet at that" Maria confirmed.
"I don't look like a pet when I fight" Gu Qing Shan was even more certain.
The two of them stared at each other.
Maria finally agreed: "That's true, we should understand each other's strength better, this will help us better unite and fight against the plague monsters in the Chasm"
"I agree" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Then, how about we exchange a few simple blows?"
"Sure"
"Count, you go first"
"You're a lady, you go first" Gu Qing Shan replied.
If we really fight, should I use my bow or my fists? Or my swords?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
Since her identity as a dragon has been exposed, as a dragon, it's acceptable for her to have other combat skills besides the bow and arrow.
This woman seems very strong, so I'll go with swordsmanship.
Gu Qing Shan put her hand on the table and didn't move.
Maria smiled and said: "Count Rhode, if I go first, you won't have a chance"
"Please" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Maria reached her hand out and lightly swung.
Bam!
Maria slapped herself in the face.
Both of them froze.
