The surface of the Ancient Sacred Ruin was more rotten than the ones Laing had seen before. Its surface was covered in spider webs, and there were also traces of Green Skin's blasphemy.
The stars, animals, mountains, and totems on the disc were blurry because of the Green Skin's blasphemy. Instead, they were replaced by spider symbols and Green Skin tattoos. There were also many holes and cracks that had been left behind by sharp and blunt weapons.
The cave was very dark. Laing reached out his hand, and a white-gold flame appeared in his hand. Then, the gray knight geno prototype used its power to light up the entire cave.
There was a horrible stench. The smell of spiders and Green Skin's feces filled the cave with a disgusting feeling. It made people want to leave. Laing raised his hand to summon lightning and fire to destroy everything.
Standing in front of the Ancient Sacred Ruin's disc, Laing was silent for a long time. He carefully observed everything in the Ancient Sacred Ruin. It did not look like he was going to do anything right away.
Knight King had to calm himself down first. If he wanted to release his power, he had to remain calm. If he didn't, he might pollute or even destroy the ruin. He was not the ordinary Royal Psionicist he had been 20 years ago. His power was very strong, and it was enough to blow up the place.
"That is a very strange power. Did you know there was an Ancient Sacred Ruin here?" While Laing was silent, a white-gold godlight appeared behind him. Lake Fairy appeared from the light and said, "It is no wonder you wanted to attack the Black Pit on your way back. Can you let me see what this is?"
"Wait." Laing reached out his hand to stop Lake Fairy. Knight King turned around and looked at his goddess. "Let me see how I can open it. If I don't, the whole Black Pit will be sucked into subspace."
"I remember that you once opened a similar ruin." The fairy in the lake nodded slightly, indicating that she would listen to her husband's words. Today, she was wearing a dreamy white layered princess dress that reached her knees. The neckline was low-cut, and the two thin straps could not hide her white jade-like skin. The fabric at the chest area was tight, showing off the goddess's strong cleavage that was comparable to Suria's. Below the dress was a long and narrow skirt, showing off the goddess's moving waistline and full moon. Her slender and straight legs and pink feet did not wear stockings today, but went barefoot. She had the sacred and inviolable elegance of a goddess, with a faint charm and liveliness in private.
"It's different." Laing reached out and peeled off the cobwebs and various green-skinned garbage on the surface of the ancient sacred relic. However, the broken surface and strange tattoos still made it difficult for Laing to identify many of the symbols. He crouched on the surface of the ancient sacred relic and carefully looked at it. "I need some time, madam."
"Do you need some time to open it, or do you need some time to contact your father, the Lord of the Humans?" The fairy in the lake opened a small folding fan in her hand. She wanted to find a place to sit down, but she felt that the place was too dirty, so she simply let herself float in the air. The goddess was a little jealous. "There was so much energy in the relic under Marlin Castle. If I could get a little bit of it, maybe the elves would have four main gods now!"
"You're lying, Lilith." Laing tried to erase the green tattoos and laughed. "You can't absorb and use the energy of these ancient sacred relic by yourself. Most of it will be wasted by you, and you don't have the ability to process and decompose the knowledge of the ancient sacred relic. In the end, just like the spider god, you can only rely on your instinct to scrape the leftovers, but most of the real energy is lost."
"What a stingy man." The fairy in the lake closed the folding fan and gently knocked on Laing's head. "Then I'll just watch you touch the ancient sacred altar here like a fool."
"Did Lauren make that request at your behest, my lady?" Laing said that he could do two things at once. He compared the badly damaged runes with the ancient sacred text and asked curiously, "This doesn't seem to be his own idea."
On the day when the victory was announced, Lauren came to Laing and asked him to leave the duchy to him, while he stayed in Örengrád. This really surprised Laing, because normally, no one would do such a strange thing that would harm their core interests. Even the Knights of the Holy Grail were the same. The Knights of the Holy Grail were indeed virtuous, but it only meant that Laing could leave things to them without worrying about favoritism and fraud. It did not mean that they would pay all the price for Laing's idea.
Lauren then carefully explained his thoughts, and Laing understood that what Lauren gave away was the governance of the Duchy of Connet.
What did that mean? Lauren still kept his own Duke's manor and his private territory, as well as several of his ancestral castles and property rights. What he gave away was his right to manage the entire duchy as a duke. In short, from today onwards, Laing would be able to directly give orders to the nobles under his command, and he could also directly appoint local governors to manage all the nobles in the duchy, with legislative, judicial, and administrative power. Lauren still held the position of Duke and was still the master of the duchy in name, but in fact, the governance was completely handed over to Laing.
Even so, Laing was still surprised by Lauren's determination. This would be an epoch-making step! Although it was not very complete, the bureaucratization of the aristocracy and the aristocracy would greatly advance Laing's centralization of power. He could hardly understand why Lauren would make such a choice.
"It's not my idea." The Lake Fairy shook her head slightly, and there was only a sigh on her face. "This is Lauren's own idea. He told me when he was praying. He said that his personal gains and losses and the rise and fall of his family were not important. Only you, Laing, are important. You have achieved the great revival of Brittany. You have done what Lauren could not do. After this war, he became more aware of the gap between him and you. He said that he wanted to stay and help you in Örengrád. He wanted to create his own glory. He said that he wanted to make Brittany great again."
"… Lauren is a very good Knight of the Holy Grail. If it weren't for me, he would also be a fair and enlightened Knight King." After hearing this, Leon was silent for a while before he said in a low voice, "It's a pity that there's only one throne. And Madam, you know that I'm the son of the Lord of Humans. He and I … can't compare. This is the only reason he lost to me."
"Yes, that's why I encouraged him to do so." The Goddess nodded slightly. "Lauren was ecstatic after he got my approval. He had broken the shackles of his heart. I have a hunch that he is not far away from entering the sacred realm."
The cave was quiet again. Laing carefully matched a dimensional thunder arrow with the rune of the scythe of death that harvested the world. Seeing that Laing was not talking, the Lake Fairy had to take the initiative to start a conversation. "Also, you let Emilia go back to Nur just like that? You are not a good father at all. "
After arriving at Herzig, the human coalition announced the disbandment. Emilia left Nur's Grand Marshal Erstein and part of the army to help maintain law and order in the north of the Empire. She returned to Nur with her pregnancy and said goodbye to Laing.
"Emilia? She is obviously giving birth to a child for fun. " Laing complained. "In fact, Emilia is a completely independent person. She wants to have another child for fun. She has all the facilities and the best education, medical care, and security. She doesn't need my help or my intervention. Why should I force a pregnant woman to take care of her? She can live well on her own."
"… That seems to make sense." The Lake Fairy looked at Laing from the corner of her eyes. The Goddess stretched out her white finger and gently pointed at her own god mark in the void. Then she said, "But I always feel that you don't seem to care about Emilia's child. You rarely visit them, only three to five times a year. He doesn't seem to be your child. As a father, you are a bit cruel."
"Little Frey Derick is my son, but he is not a Brittany's child!" Laing said helplessly. "I rarely contact Little Frey Derick. On one hand, I am busy and can't take care of many things. Most of the time, it is Little Frey Derick who comes to me. But more importantly, the nobles in Nur can't stand that their first successor is a guy who has received traditional Brittany knight education, has the three values of a knight, and thinks that he is a Brittany in his heart. So, the nobles in Nur have always been very against Little Frey Derick having too much contact with me and the Knight King. This request is not too much. Emilia and I can't reject it."
The Lake Fairy suddenly understood. That's right! Nur tolerated Little Frey Derick as Emilia's first successor because Emilia didn't have any close relatives. At that time, she only had Little Frey Derick as her only child. Little Frey Derick was the strongest contender, so the nobles in Nur could only hold their noses and accept it. But they absolutely couldn't compromise on other things.
Laing saw that the Goddess understood and smiled. He didn't say anything because he also agreed with this.
Just like in his previous life, there was also a group of "Jingwei", "Jingwei", "Jingwei", and "Jingfa". On the surface, these people were people of their own country, but in fact, they were mentally deranged people. They were ashamed of their country's identity and proud of their foreign identity. Ryan had always thought that unless they were in desperate situations where they had to sell their children, starvation, cold, and lack of clothes to cover their bodies, such people were very shameful.
Similarly, there was also a group of people who were typical yellow-skinned and white-hearted, including many public intellectuals and Chinese people. Some of them were simply fair-skinned and white-hearted. They casually set up a profile and opened the wealth password to start earning large amounts of money. Some of them were cynical and passionate about leading the way.
In fact, Laing himself had received doubts in this regard. After all, he wasn't a Brittany native. In the end, he relied on his victories and his marriage to Suria to complete the recognition.
"Okay, then what about the child in Emilia's belly?" The Lake Fairy was a little guilty as she hid her mistake in judgment. She said casually, "You must have figured out whether it's a boy or a girl, right? What name are you going to give it? "
"It's a girl. Emilia prepared a few names for me to choose from. I chose one." Laing did not turn around.
"What name?"
"They are Ajdona, Bronia, Rita and Pecoram, Kylo, or Zeppelin." Laing complained, "I said these names were too complicated, and what the hell is Zeppelin? So I chose Rita in the end."
"Rita … I say, Laing, why is your little maid so productive?" Speaking of this, the Goddess was unhappy again. "You don't have that kind of drive on Suria, me, or Morgiana! You must have the drive to get pregnant! "
"…" Laing rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to talk to the Goddess. Emilia was much easier to deal with than the rest of them. Basically, she would be satisfied and fall asleep in his arms after an hour and a half. He did not need to spend so much energy …
Laing did not say anything more because the ancient sacred relic was finally opened.
Pure cosmic energy gushed out from the relic. The Goddess of the Lake was excited and squeezed directly to Laing's side.
However, Laing was disappointed. Most of the energy inside had been lost. The violent destruction of the green-skinned creatures had caused the energy stored in the device to gradually dissipate over the past two to three thousand years, forming the sacred ground of the Black Pit and the creation of a secondary god like the Spider God. Most of the energy inside had been lost. Even the little bit left was contaminated and had a strange green color.
At the same time, the Imperial Emperor's holy words came to Laing's mind.
"Deal with it yourself."
"The green-skinned creatures are really disgusting. They didn't even leave us any leftovers." Laing sighed helplessly. "Forget it. There's still a little left. Let's share it."
"Okay!" The Goddess of the Lake could not wait. She immediately reached out her hand and guided a large amount of green energy towards herself. Laing was shocked and quickly stopped her. "Lilith! What are you doing? "
"I am doing what you said and absorbing the energy." The Goddess of the Lake did not understand. "Didn't you ask me to share it with you?"
"This is contaminated by the green-skinned creatures and the Spider God's poison. It contains a lot of ancient sacred knowledge. How can you just absorb it?" Laing was really angry this time. The gray knight geno prototype shouted at the Goddess, "Do you want to become the green-skinned mother goddess, Sister Lilith, or the Spider God? Do you want to take the knights to WAAAGH? Or do you want to be brainwashed by the ancient sacred knowledge? Do you want to become a tool that only knows how to carry out big plans? Lilith! "
The Goddess was shocked by Laing's yelling. This was the first time Laing had yelled at her. She was angry and shocked at first. Then, she became angry.
She was a Goddess. Could she not deal with the corruption and impurities?
Seeing Laing's angry face, the Goddess froze. She felt sweet. She put down her hand and quietly said, "What do you think we should do?"
"Let me purify it first." Laing firmly said, "I will purify the green-skinned creatures and the Spider God's pollution. You ask Morgiana to come in. I will absorb and purify the energy. After that, I will share it with you."
What a joke. If Lilith absorbed the energy and suddenly said, "It is just a task for the master." Or, "Brother Shaohao!" Laing could not accept that.
He had to eliminate all possibilities from the source. The pure love god's will was not to be violated.
"Then … Okay." The Goddess of the Lake could only agree. She slowly walked outside. Before she left, she suddenly turned around and jumped into Laing's arms. She could not help but softly say, "You have to be careful, Laing."
"No problem. Leave it to me."
… I'm the section divider for you, leave it to me …
Two days later.
Laing walked out of the cave with Morgiana, the Goddess of the Lake, who had successfully reached the pinnacle of the Sanctuary-realm, and Lilith, the Goddess of the Lake, who had greatly increased her divine power and was only half a step away from becoming an overgod. Laing announced that they would continue the march. The army continued to move forward and approached Wester.
Laing rode Grape in the middle of the army, feeling refreshed. After obtaining a part of the ancient saint's power, he was even stronger. He was not far from becoming a demigod like his brothers.
The Knight King took out a small sealing altar. Inside it was a little bit of the ancient saint's cosmic energy. Although it was not much, it should be enough to help Teresa break free from the bloodline shackles and break through to the Sanctuary-realm.
At the same time, Laing could not help but laugh. He laughed so hard that his teeth were exposed.
It was done!
She could not run away anymore.
In the luxurious carriage behind Laing.
The Goddess of the Lake covered her lower abdomen in embarrassment and anger. She was so angry that she slapped the carpet with her hands.
She dodged again and again, but in the end, she could not escape. While she was immersed in digesting the ancient saint's energy, Laing took the opportunity to use the ancient saint's cosmic energy to brand a complete spiritual tattoo on her lower abdomen.
The Goddess of the Lake knew very well what it meant to be branded with a spiritual tattoo. Although she was mentally prepared, she should at least have some conditions and special treatment.
"Laing! You tricked me! "
