The Nur delegation did not plan to return so soon. They were given a grand reception upon their arrival in Brittany, and they could even eat and drink for free. Emilia and Frey Derick made it clear that they wished to stay longer, so the Nur delegation extended the duration of their visit. They planned to visit around and interact with more knights, nobles, and merchants to see if there was more money to be made.
One of the reasons why Laing, Emilia, and Frey Derick could stay longer was because in the eyes of the Nur nobles, Frey Derick, who was already 16 years old, had basically matured and assimilated to the Nur culture. He knew and recognized himself as a Nur, so there was nothing to worry about.
After receiving the Nur delegation at the Fontainebleau Palace, Laing, Suria, and Emilia continued to Laing's Jean City and his Duke's Castle. Returning to the familiar environment, Emilia was so excited that she even secretly took out her original maid outfit to see if it could still be worn. On one hand, Frey Derick expressed his understanding, while on the other hand, he secretly mocked and ridiculed "My Mother Likes to Be a Maid Despite Her High Status".
Laing's attention was not in this regard. The Knight King was a man of action. After returning to Jean City with a large group of people, he immediately looked for Veronica, intending to discuss with her how to transfer the Light Magic Machine to the Land Cruiser.
However, Veronica was not willing to do this from the bottom of her heart.
The reason was simple. The Light Magic Machine was originally Veronica's private property. If the Light Magic Machine was moved to the Land Cruiser, wouldn't it be like a public bus? Hmm? Who wants to go on it?
Moreover, apart from being a war machine, the Light Magicarrier also had a certain 'mobile caravan' nature. It allowed Veronica to comfortably sleep or meditate in the carriage during the expedition. However, after the instrument was moved, it would no longer be so carefree. Not only would she have to squeeze with stinky men, but she would also be unable to escape once the Land Patrol Ship was deployed in the future.
Veronica was unwilling to do this from the perspective of her own interests, but it was difficult for her to find a reason to object. She could only use her trump card in front of Laing, which was to play a little seductive and coquettish. She dressed herself up as a little lamb and served Laing well, hoping that this matter would not be brought up again.
Everyone had their own core interests, which Laing understood. In his backyard, only Veronica would completely consider him. But did Veronica not have her own interests? It was just that the Dark Elf had received promises and satisfaction from other sources.
Unfortunately, Suria had already predicted this. The Knight King let Laing have his fill of Veronica before he came out to clean up the mess. The pitiful Veronica could not complete her traditional routine and was forced to compromise. She agreed to transfer the Light Magic Machine to the Land Cruiser within a time limit.
Teresa and Aurora were also forced to accept the agreement. Apart from building a large freezer, they also had to take on an important task. Perhaps because she was dissatisfied with the matter with Xi 'er Trovic, Suria did not give them a chance to see Laing, and they had to complete it within a time limit.
Teresa and Aurora were naturally very guilty in the face of the domineering Suria. They knew that they had broken some kind of unspoken agreement and could only lower their heads.
Just like that, a new round of reshuffling of cards in Laing's backyard was completed.
At the end of 2519 of the Empire's calendar, it was the holiday of Winter Veil. Amidst the snowy Chalon Forest, Redfish Village, Angran's manor.
His two naughty sons were fooling around outside, and Angran was training his two nephews in close combat.
The wooden floor in the house was covered with a thick carpet made of animal hide. The furnishings in the house were not luxurious, but they were very detailed. The fire in the fireplace was burning fiercely, and the head of a giant Doomsday Bull hung on the wall. It seemed to be Angran's latest harvest. Angran brewed a lot of wine in the cabinet at the side, and there was also a large candle chandelier to provide warm light in the room.
There were only five people in the room. They were the Knight King, Laing, Queen Suria, Lake Witch Morgiana, Dark Elf Olica, and Lake Fairy Lilith. Apart from Olica, the other four were undoubtedly the core decision-makers of the Knight King.
Lake Fairy Lilith was sitting high on the main seat. The goddess, who had not appeared for a while, had finally completed her divine defense system. Today, the goddess was wearing a classical fluorescent velvet vase evening gown for the Winter Veil. The off-shoulder gown could not hide her voluptuous curves. Her voluptuous figure now belonged exclusively to Laing. Her ankle-length golden hair, which cascaded down to her ankles, was coiled up into a high elven lady's hairstyle with the help of Morgiana and Suria. However, it still reached her waist. Her beautiful back and shoulder blades shone under her translucent skin.
There were two rows of buttons at the back of the evening gown. Platinum chains engraved with elven runes linked the buttons together, adding a touch of brightness to the goddess' radiant body. The hem of the gown was very long, almost reaching her ankles. On the hem of the gown were patterns of irises, clouds, holy grails, and the moon, all embroidered bit by bit with mithril and gold silk.
Although the hem of the gown was very long, the slits on both sides of the gown were very high, almost exposing her two slender legs. She wore a pair of white unicorn fur matte translucent pantyhose. The pantyhose gently lifted her beautiful legs, which were very tempting. The finishing touch was a pair of pink rhinestone suede high heels with velvet straps. There was also a pair of lace-edged silk gloves on the goddess' slender and straight arms. She also held a small fan in her hand. It could be said that she was the most beautiful woman in her generation.
Laing could feel that after obtaining a small part of the ancient saint's energy, the Goddess of the Lake had the strength of a Divine King. If she was given time to recover all the fragments of Lilith's Crown, coupled with the power of the Yang Fire Talisman, she might really become a god among gods and be on par with Asuna.
The Goddess of the Lake also felt Laing's gaze. The goddess was secretly happy and could not help but feel sweet. She had spent a lot of time dressing up and picking out clothes for this occasion. Wasn't it just for Laing to see? It seemed that he could let Suria arrange for the three of them to be together tonight.
Suria, Morgiana, and Olica were also dressed up, but the style of clothing was not quite the same. For example, Olica was wearing a maid's lace dress, Suria was wearing a pleated skirt, and Morgiana was wearing a long skirt that hugged her hips. However, they were all wearing white silk. Laing could not help but look around before coughing twice. "Madam, have you finished the matter on your side?"
"I have relied on your psionic power and my divine power to build a defensive circle. This will allow the Knight King Kingdom to break away from part of the influence of the Moment of Doom." The Goddess of the Lake neatened her beautiful white silk feet in pink suede heels. She tidied her skirt and looked at Laing sternly. "Eichahn has found the last divine artifact, the Crown of Dominion. Even though it hasn't been long, the influence and corruption of the Moment of Doom has spread across the world. Recently, scattered demons have been appearing in Ossouin. The Orcs in the forests of the Old World have appeared in groups and are becoming more and more violent. Laing, we don't have much time."
"Damn it, we can only watch as Eichahn is crowned but can't do anything." Laing slapped his thigh angrily. This was like knowing that General Abaddon, a large group of traitors, and the original demon Petrabo were hiding in the Eye of Terror, but you couldn't do anything to them. The Dwarf Ancestral Gods, Kislöw's first female Tsar, and countless warriors had used their lives to prove this point. You could only wait for the Eternal Chosen One to attack and seize the opportunity to destroy him. It was impossible to attack. Not to mention the Chaotic Wasteland, even in the Troll Kingdom, normal people couldn't adventure for more than two months. Otherwise, most of them would either go mad, mutate, or be corrupted.
Speaking of which, the Imperial Emperor had been planning for a long time to capture Petrabo. But this unhappy brother of his was hiding in the giant fortress of the Eye of Terror. Even the Imperial Emperor couldn't do anything about it. The Lord of Humans recalculated. In order to attack Petrabo's Tortoise Fortress, besides himself and at least three original demons, they also had to be prepared to lose 4,000 Imperial Guards, at least 10,000 SM and PSM, and countless Astral Army and fleets. Even then, they had less than a 50% chance of success.
After all, the dark side was 30% stronger than the white side.
Of course, from another perspective, it was the same here. For example, Man Frey and Akerman had been planning to capture Morgiana. They knew that Morgiana was in Laing's territory, but they couldn't do anything about it.
"There's still hope, Laing." The Lady of the Lake smiled as she reached out her slender hand and brushed it across Laing's face. The goddess said with satisfaction, "You and your brother Fogen have made an unparalleled contribution to the world. Many of the great losses and sacrifices I predicted did not happen. Many of the destined tragedies were also reversed by you. For example, Belegar's Eight Peaks. My dear, do you know what the chances of surviving the Final Moment in my prediction were before you?"
"How many, my lady?" Suria and the Lady of the Lake held hands as the goddess's good sister asked with interest.
"I only predicted 10086 possibilities, and only one of them, the world successfully survived the Final Moment." The Lady of the Lake held the shining Holy Grail in her hand and said helplessly, "There were five more times when the world was destroyed, but the surviving gods of humans, elves, and dwarves seized the opportunity to obtain the Core of Creation left behind after the destruction and reshaped a new world. There were only six times in total that could be considered a certain degree of victory."
"But ever since you appeared, many parts of my deduction have changed." The Lady of the Lake hesitated and said, "Based on the current situation, we should have about a 10% chance of surviving the Final Moment."
"Only 10%? Isn't that too low? " Morgiana held the Holy Grail in her hand. The Lady of the Lake was wearing a pair of milky white boots today, which made it easier for her to move, but she had already taken out a small box and placed it next to her feet. Inside the box was a pair of soft-soled strappy high-heeled sandals. She felt that Laing would like this kind of sandals, which she could wear while being carried to bed by Laing.
The Lady of the Lake glanced at Morgiana. The goddess sighed in her heart and shook her head, "This is already very impressive, Morgiana."
"Yes." Morgiana lowered her head and didn't dare to refute her goddess's opinion, but the Lady of the Lake still added, "I firmly believe that Laing will be able to survive this together with my lady and us."
"Yes, I also believe that." The Lady of the Lake looked at Laing and said, "What you need to do now is to ensure the stability of the territory, as well as the morale of the civilians and the army. You have already done very well on this, but I still have an additional request for you."
"Go ahead, my lady." Laing nodded.
"I need you to eliminate Morgul." The Lady of the Lake said to Laing, "We must further unite with Aislin. Only when you eliminate Morgul can we truly free the Wood Elves from the shadow of Morgul's corruption. The Wood Elves and Aislin are very powerful, they will be of help."
"As long as Morgul appears." Laing nodded. Indeed, although the Wood Elves were very annoying, reclusive, and unpredictable, ever since Laing came to Brittany, the Wood Elves had given him the greatest amount of help in trade and appointed him as the sole dealer, which directly gave Laing an unshakable identity and a huge source of income.
After that, in several crucial battles, including the battle of La Messenell Abbey and the crucial battle of Landuin Graveyard, the Wood Elves had appeared to provide support when most needed. Although to a large extent, the Wood Elves were also doing it for their own interests and to prevent the war from spreading to the forest, help was help, and support was support.
This was a favor. Of course, in return, Laing also allowed the Wood Elves to live a peaceful life for many years. The Knight King had helped the Wood Elves block almost all foreign enemies, so these isolationists could enjoy the tranquility of the forest and the cycle of the four seasons without worry.
In general, the Wood Elves still respected Laing.
"Don't underestimate Morgul, my dear." The Lady in the Lake looked at Laing's confident look and sighed. "The Shadow Demon Morgul has devoured many mortal incarnations of the Wood Elf Gods, and even these Gods are not its match. What's more disgusting is that it can't be completely killed. Perhaps in the entire mortal world, only you have the possibility of completely killing Morgul. Morgul is an existence with the strength of a demigod. Although Morgul's fighting strength is not strong, it is only strong in its amazing corruption and is difficult to kill."
"But I remember that Aralos killed Morgul when he was only at the peak of legendary, right?" Laing asked curiously.
"That's right." The Lady in the Lake nodded. "That's because Morgul doesn't have armor. Its defense is completely dependent on the Aura of Corruption on its body. The power of this aura determines its defense. The aura will be strong and weak in a strange cycle. Aralos seized the most critical moment, when Morgul's defense was at its weakest. He used the Divine Blood Arrow produced by Val's Anvil to severely injure Morgul from a distance, and then seized the opportunity to kill it in close combat."
"But you may not have such an opportunity. The coronation of the Eternal God has made the Wind of Chaos extremely violent. I don't know if there is any pattern to Morgul's defensive aura." The Lady in the Lake shook her head, and the pink high heels under her long skirt gently tapped on the ground. The Lady in the Lake frowned. "The subspace is getting more and more dangerous. All the Elven Gods are descending to the mortal world one after another. Most of them have chosen their incarnations. I also need to quickly descend to the mortal world."
"Who will your incarnation be?" Laing asked.
"Originally, Morgiana or Suria could be my incarnation, and Aralos's daughter Karolina could be my incarnation too." The Lady in the Lake smiled and looked at her husband proudly. "But with you providing me with energy, I don't need an incarnation to descend. From today onwards, I will be Lilith by your side."
The four of them discussed the next action plan and the National Policy Tree. Morgiana was asked to store more food, and the Lady in the Lake would do her best to keep Brittany's land from being affected by the Chaos.
"My Lady, this is the joint proposal that Laing and I received from Talleyrand and Berliat. The two of them proposed to invite the Eternal Queen of the High Elves, who is already on the route, to visit Brittany. They also came up with a complete plan. They plan to hold an entire canal parade to show the countless glory and achievements of the Kingdom of the Knight King in recent years." Suria took out a complete proposal and handed it to the Lady in the Lake.
"You want to invite Alissanda to visit Brittany?" The Lady in the Lake took the proposal and glanced at it. The Lady in the Lake frowned slightly. "Is … is it necessary?"
"If we don't occupy the position of public opinion, others will. That's what Talleyrand said," Laing said seriously. "I think he has a point, my Lady."
"Don't tell me you have feelings for the little queen?" The Lady in the Lake looked at Laing with a faint smile. "I'm warning you. Alissanda is not only the Crown Princess, but also the future Chosen One of Yisha. She will also marry the next Phoenix King. On the surface, she is also the daughter of Finnuba and Alariel. Tyrion will not let you go."
"I have chosen you, my Lady." Laing shook his head slightly. He knew what was important and what was not.
"It's not impossible to invite her … This needs a good plan." The Lady in the Lake nodded slowly. The Lady in the Lake pondered for a moment. "Show your influence, my dear."
"Your influence on the dwarves, the wood elves, and the entire old world. Let the High Elves know how powerful you are. Only then may the little queen accept our invitation."
"Don't underestimate Alissanda. She's just like all the High Elves. She talks about her feelings, but her heart is business. Only when you prove your worth will Alissanda consider changing her original plan and passing by with the delegation."
