Reina had never been here before, but she felt a strange sense of familiarity with the scenery. This was his city, and it was filled with his style.
Two enormous statues stood guard in front of the city. These were the statues that her master had made. They seemed to have a life of their own, and they gave off a very oppressive feeling. She didn't go to the City of Trade or the City of Gold that the merchant had mentioned. It had many other names, and Reina didn't know which one was its real name.
The centaur warrior brought her to the capital city of the Wussen Empire. This place was under the World Tree. Water flowed down from the World Tree, forming a waterfall that nourished the entire forest. The city was filled with birds and flowers, and the buildings and environment blended into one. It was very beautiful and harmonious.
There were many races living here. Reina saw humans, as well as more than ten different races of demons, and even elves. They all lived together peacefully. This place was peaceful and harmonious. There were no hurried footsteps or ear-piercing quarrels. The pace of life was very slow.
It was completely different from the outside world. They didn't seem to be worried at all about the threat of evil spirits. To be more precise, they didn't seem to know about the existence of evil spirits. They lived peacefully.
On her back, Bai Ling was still struggling, but Reina used a mysterious vine to bind her. As long as they were within the range of the World Tree, no one would be able to break free from its bindings.
In this way, they arrived at the largest building in the city. It wasn't a palace, but it didn't lose out to one. This building was made of white stone and wood, and it was filled with vitality. The vines on the roof were woven together like a crown, and all sorts of flowers bloomed on it, making it look like a young girl wearing a crown. Among the plants, there were stone statues with wings that seemed to have a life of their own. When you raised your head, you could feel that they were staring at you.
They brought Reina into the building, passing through corridors and stairs. They climbed up floor by floor until they arrived at a large hall that looked like a courtroom. There were many people here, all wearing the same uniform. They sat on the southwest and southwest sides of the room. In the middle of the pool was a round pool. This was the shortest spot, and a dejected mouse was sitting there. Four fully armed soldiers were guarding the four corners of the pool, staring at him.
There was only one person sitting on the high platform. She was dressed in a black uniform, and her serious gaze swept across Reina and the others. However, she did not seem to notice them and focused her attention back on the mice in front of her. Reina noticed that there was a sculpture of a scale protruding from the wall behind her. On the left side of the scale was a heart, and on the right side was a feather. And the one holding the scales on the wall was him.
Reina recognized him at a glance. He was her master, Richard.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang that shook everyone's hearts. This sound was so terrifying in this room with limited space.
"The defendant, Hu Hu, for the crime of theft, I sentence you to three months in prison. I hope you will reflect on your actions in prison. Today's trial ends here. Dismissed."
Halla on the stage knocked twice, and then everyone immediately stood up. Their actions were neat, and they each had a clear division of labor. In an instant, they disappeared.
"Lord Halla, this intruder claimed to be the apprentice of that lord, and helped us deal with the invading enemy. I brought her to see you."
The centaur patriarch said.
Hala glanced at Linnai. Linnai, who was originally smiling, suddenly discovered that she seemed to have become a different person. Her gentle and kind face was now so serious and cold. Her eyes did not have a trace of emotion, as if she was a person with a heart of iron.
"I need your help …"
"Wait! You, stick your head out. "
However, Halla did not seem to hear Reina. Her attention was all on Bai Ling, who was behind Reina. The latter dodged and did not dare to stick her head out.
Reina was a little surprised. She remembered Bai Ling's words. If Halla killed her, what should she do?
She took half a step back, but the centaur patriarch grabbed the vines on Bai Ling's body. Bai Ling lost her balance and almost fell from Reina's back. Halla saw her face.
"It's you! Damned traitor! You're actually still alive! "
Halla was suddenly enraged. Her hair stood on end, and her eyes seemed to burn with flames.
Reina was a little afraid. What was going on?
"Wait, isn't this a misunderstanding?"
She said uneasily.
"Misunderstanding? No, Reina, I know you. Perhaps you really are his apprentice. If you are, then you should understand how I feel. The person behind you is the one who killed your master! She was once his subordinate, and like you, learned magic from him. That lord selflessly imparted knowledge to her, allowing her to live without worry. But in the end, she betrayed him! "
Hala pointed at Bai Ling, roaring angrily, "It's useless even if you take on this form. You won't receive any pity here. Even if you have a thousand faces, we Wusen citizens will be able to see through your true colors.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "Even if you turn to ash, I will still recognize you, Queen Mother! You must pay for what you've done! "
"What?!"
Hearing this, Reina was even more shocked. Bai Ling was actually the Queen Mother?
The Queen Mother, that terrifying fellow. She had really become like this?
She turned her head, but to her surprise, the centaur warrior pulled Bai Ling off her back and pressed her to the ground.
She immediately let out a roar, opened her mouth, and spat out white spider silk. The spider silk stuck to the centaur's leg, pulling him to the ground. If it wasn't for Reina's Immortal Vine binding her, she would definitely have been able to escape. Halla's ring lit up, and in an instant, a fierce flame ignited the spider silk. Bai Ling's face was covered in flames, and she let out a miserable cry.
"Stop! You can't do this to her. I brought her here. If you want to punish her, I won't just stand by and watch! "
Reina suddenly reached out, brushing away the flames and picking Bai Ling up.
Halla frowned, revealing a puzzled expression.
"Don't be deceived by her pitiful appearance. Her race is just so despicable. They only know how to pretend to be weak, deceiving those with kind hearts. They are pitiful parasites."
A hint of sadness flashed across her angry face.
"It was because of your master's kindness that she was able to take advantage of him. If not for her, Lord Richard definitely wouldn't have died!"
He didn't die! He had just gone to another place …
But Reina didn't say it out loud. She didn't know if it was true. Perhaps it was just a dream. Even if it was true, she couldn't say it out loud. Could she tell them that he hadn't died, that he had just abandoned them?
She couldn't do it.
"Leave her to us. This is a private matter of the Wussen Empire. You can stay here and live. I will arrange for people to help you integrate into this place."
"I need an army. That's why I came here. The Evil Spirits are wreaking havoc outside, and the entire world is in dire straits. We need to unite and deal with our common enemy."
Reina said.
"We definitely won't send out an army. They killed our King. We have no reason to save anyone. You must be tired. Go rest. Men, bring this human guest to rest. "
Halla ordered, not allowing any room for argument.
Seeing her resolute expression, Reina felt helpless.
