Start a Core Pod

“Beginning the engagement, to be honest, I seem to have seen similar scenes somewhere.”

While patrolling in the air, Duanmu Huai began to think.

 “Ogis, do you remember?”

 “Break off the engagement? Audrey?”

 “Oh, yes, that was the time.”

Hearing Ogis's answer, Duanmuhuai also clapped his hands and then thought about it. It was still in Manalia. At the noble banquet in Manalia, a certain Duke's son proposed to break off the engagement to his fiancée in public. At that time, Duanmu Huai was still curious that there was a reverse trend of breaking off the engagement... After all, he saw In the novels, all cases of annulment are done by the woman on her own initiative.

Then the man should not bully the young man into being poor.

Of course, if this incident was ultimately found to be the fault of a succubus, that would be another story.

 Aristocratic marriage and royal marriage are different after all, but in Duanmuhuai's view, Audrey is obviously more sensible than Euphilia.

Agnesphia did not come out to patrol today. She is currently comforting Euphelia in the mage's mansion. After all, being broken off by the prince in public also gave Euphelia a big blow. She is still reflecting on what she did not do. Well... Well, how should I put it? Different ways do not lead to mutual interests. As the defenders of the vested interest system, Euphilia and Algard definitely have no common language.

The question now is whether Algard can do a good job.

Duanmu Huai reached out and touched his chin, thinking. To be honest, Duanmuhuai never cared much about this kind of thing. Maybe Algard was sincere, maybe Algard was lying to him, but Duanmuhuai didn't care about it. In fact, this is also his consistent temperament.

  No matter what the other person says is true or false, if he is asked to do it, he will do it.

This is not because Duanmu Huai is easier to deceive, but because he doesn’t care at all whether the other party deceives him. It's best if you don't lie to me. If you want to lie to me, just wait for me to smash your dog's head. What's there to say?

Like an old man who has fallen to the ground, if you say you want to help him, aren't you afraid of being blackmailed?

 Hey, I’m really not afraid. If you don’t blackmail me, I’ll do something good.

If you want to blackmail me, I will sue you, bankrupt you, and then find someone to break your legs.

 You have chosen both sides, so don’t blame me for being rude.

 So in Duanmuhuai's view, the current world is more suitable for his survival than the original world.

 After all, here, if someone dares to lie to himself, he will really smash the other person's head with a hammer.

 In the original world, it would be a bit troublesome.

 At least you can’t smash the opponent’s head in front of you.

"Owner."

Just when Duanmuhuai was wandering in the sky, Ogis's voice rang in his ears.

 “There’s something going on ahead.”

"what's the situation?"

Hearing Ogis's voice, Duanmuhuai stopped, then looked forward, and then he saw a team heading this way on the other side of the horizon.

"That direction is... the royal city? Could it be that the transport team transporting supplies has arrived? Are they really here?"

I have to say that this made Duanmu Huai quite surprised. He originally thought that the transport team would die on the way, but he didn't expect that they actually arrived?

 “Let’s go and see what’s going on.”

The next moment, Duanmu Huai changed direction and flew towards the team.

"who!?"

When Duanmuhuai fell from the sky like a meteorite and landed heavily in front of the transportation team, the soldiers responsible for guarding the transportation team were also shocked. They hurriedly raised their swords and shields, and at the same time bent their bows and strings, aiming at the terrifying steel giant in front of them. For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Fortunately, just before the soldiers desperately planned to launch an attack, a man appeared and prevented the tragedy that was about to happen.

 “Ah, big brother!”

 “A true genius?”

Looking at Zhen Ji Ling running towards him with a smile, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment.

 “Why are you here? And...what is going on?”

To be honest, Duanmuhuai was a little surprised by Zhen Jiling's appearance here, but there was another thing that surprised Duanmu Huai even more - that is, Zhen Jiling's body was tied with a rope at the moment, and the rope Behind it is a carriage carrying a huge amount of supplies!

The goods on this carriage are two or three heads taller than the real Ji Ling. Although she is a horse lady, this is not really a horse-drawn carriage, right?

“Ah, this? This is because the transport team doesn’t have enough horses, so I helped.”

  Sensing Duanmu Huai's gaze, Zhen Ji Ling also waved her hands hurriedly, and then took off the rope from her body.

“Brother, don’t worry, Ma Niang does this all the time when practicing, and the things to tie are much bigger than this!”

 You guys just use this thing to practice? Then again, what's the point of not having enough horses?

“Actually, on the way here, this transport team was attacked by demons.”

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's expression became condensed.

 “Elaborate?”

Under Zhen Ji’s lively narration, Duanmu Huai soon learned about the troubles the previous transport team had encountered, which also made him squint his eyes.

"Are you sure? That demon is coming for the transport team?"

 “Of course, I have the video here.”

"let me see."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai opened his personal terminal, and then read the terminal video of Zhen Ji Ling. Sure enough, judging from the screen, the demon didn't look like it accidentally discovered the transport team, but more like it was deliberately To attack them - that speaks volumes.

　　… “There is one more small problem.”

"what is the problem?"

“Before the transportation team set off, I learned that the Ministry of Magic had added transportation supplies to the transportation team.”

As he spoke, Zhen Ling stretched out his hand and pointed to the big iron box dragged behind him.

“Later out of curiosity, we took a look to see what was inside... What did the elder brother think was inside?”

"how could I know."

Duanmu Huai was originally not interested in this, but seeing Zhen Ji Ling's beaming face, he became somewhat interested.

 “What’s inside?”

 “Brother, you’ll know just by looking at it.”

Zhen Jiling gave up, and Duanmu Huai followed Zhen Jiling forward, and then saw Zhen Jiling open the huge iron box, and then revealed what was inside...

 “What the **** is this?”

I have to say that Duanmuhuai couldn't help but be startled when he saw the contents of the iron box.

 The reason is very simple, because there is a huge crystal in that iron box!

Not only that, there is actually a person inside the crystal!

 “Oh, this is so interesting.”

Looking at the girl who seemed to be frozen in the crystal, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes. Judging from the appearance, this girl does not seem to be too big, and she also has long platinum hair, um... platinum?

 Remember Agnesphia said that long platinum hair is a symbol of the royal family?

Yo ho? This is interesting.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai immediately cheered up. If he remembered correctly, didn't the current king only have a son and a daughter?

Ouch, could this be the opening of some family sitcom?

 “I took this thing with me.”

Duanmu Huai looked at the crystal in front of him and made a decisive decision.

 “Huh? But……”

"No but, if the prince hasn't asked about this, don't talk about it. I think you should also know that things are not that simple."

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly and looked at the guards in front of him. Under his gaze, the guards trembled and lowered their heads.

 “Then I’ll go back first.”

Duanmuhuai snapped his fingers and put the crystal away.

"What about you? Really clever? Are you going back with me now, or are you staying here?"

“Karen might as well continue walking with them, after all, they are already here.”

“Yes, it’s not too far anyway, but you still have to be careful before entering the city.”

 After saying this, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi waved their hands to Zhenji Ling, then flew into the sky again and left quickly.

 After that, Duanmu Huai quickly returned to his mage's mansion and kicked open the door.

 “Wow, what are you doing? Mr. Judge.”

Anisphia, who was comforting Euphilia, was also startled. She almost jumped up and turned her head to glare at Duanmuhuai.

 “Why, you’re still sad.”

 “Of course, girls are very slender...”

 “Forget it, it’s not a big deal.”

 Duanmuhuai waved his hand, interrupting Anisphia's protest.

 “I have something good here that I want to show you.”

 “What good stuff?”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Anisphia, Euphilia and Tierti all raised their heads and looked at Duanmuhuai in confusion. The latter chuckled and then snapped his fingers. The next moment, the crystal that sealed the girl appeared out of thin air in front of the three of them.

 “Hey? What is this?”

It has to be said that the three girls were shocked when they saw this scene. Not only Agnesfia and Tierdi looked at the crystal in surprise, but even Euphilia, who was still worried about breaking off the engagement, also looked at it with surprise. He stared at the crystal in front of him with surprised eyes.

“Mr. Judge, where did you find this thing?”

   “It was shipped.”      “It was shipped?”

“That’s right, the material transport team dispatched from the Royal City has arrived, and among them was this thing sent from the Ministry of Magic. I opened it and thought it was very interesting, so I brought it back.”

 “This...this is not good.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, everyone was speechless, while Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

“Are you sure? Do you think it would be better to put this thing out for everyone to see?”

 “No, I mean...huh?”

　　After saying this, Euphilia looked at the girl again, and then was stunned for a moment.

"Long platinum hair? Your Highness Anisphia, this girl..."

 "Huh? Really, why..."

At this time, not only Euphilia, but also Anisphia and Tierti also discovered the problem. Platinum hair color is a symbol of the royal family, and only the royal family has such hair color.

but………

“Anesphia, is this your sister or something?”

"Isn't it possible? The mother only has two children, me and Yal?"

 Anisphia was also confused at this moment.

 “Is that the king’s illegitimate son?”

 “This…should be impossible?”

Although Anisphia felt that her father was not the kind of womanizer, the evidence was right in front of her.

　　A girl who is about the same age as Euphilia, has the hair color of the royal family... and is also sealed...

 “You’ll know if you ask me.”

Duanmuhuai snapped his fingers and looked at Euphilia.

 “Can you break this seal?”

"let me try."

Euphilia also cheered up at this moment, walked to the crystal, and then chanted the spell in a low voice. After a while, Euphilia opened her eyes in surprise.

"How is it possible...my elf magic doesn't work, it doesn't accept my interference!"

"Why?"

　Hearing Euphilia's answer, Agnesphia and Tierti both showed surprised expressions.

 “Can’t even Euphilia do it?”

 “How could such a thing happen?”

 “Forget it, since you can’t do it, let me do it.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and then saw the thunder hammer appearing in his hand. Seeing this scene, the girls were even more surprised.

"Wait a minute, Lord Judge, you are like this..."

 “Look at me!”

Before Euphilia had time to dissuade her, Duanmu Huai raised the war hammer, and then black flames burst out from it. Then Duan Muhuai clenched the war hammer and smashed the crystal hard!

"boom!"

The crystal shattered with a sound, and the whole crystal melted like an ice cube, then evaporated and disappeared. Then Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, grabbed the girl's neck, and lifted her up.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Judge, what are you doing? What if something happens to this lady..."

 “Don’t worry, she won’t die.”

Facing Anisphia’s dissuasion, Duanmuhuai didn’t care. He just stared coldly at the girl in his hand.

 “After all, she is not human.”

"Why?"

I have to say that everyone else was stunned at this moment.

“It’s not a human being, is it a demon?”

“I am not sure about this, but what I am sure of is that I can smell the stench of subspace even through the crystal.”

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he clenched his right hand hard.

"Okay, don't pretend to be dead. Miss, if you continue to pretend to be dead, then I don't mind sending you to death for real - don't worry, for alien creatures like you, the Tribunal has ten thousand ways to kill them. To purify and destroy.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　]

Under Duanmuhuai’s intimidation, the girl slowly opened her eyes, and then whimpered.

 “Please, please let me go...”

"All right."

Seeing the other party speak, Duanmu Huai also let go. Then the girl collapsed on the ground and coughed. Then she took a long breath and looked at Duanmu Huai.

“I really didn’t expect that the first thing I would encounter when I woke up again would be such a scene... This is really beyond my expectation...”

 “So you can talk? Then stop pretending to be dead.”

Duanmu Huai waved his war hammer and stared at the girl in front of him, his eyes filled with cold and ruthless killing intent.

"Okay, this non-human lady, how about you introduce yourself first? We are all curious about who you are and why you are sealed in this crystal."

"All right………"

The girl took a deep breath, then stood up and looked at everyone. Then she smiled and lowered her head.

 “Let me introduce myself first, my name is Lumiere Rene Paretia.”

 “Paretia?”

 “That’s right.”

Facing everyone’s surprised gazes, the girl nodded.

“I am the daughter of the first king who built this country, and the person who built the Paretian royal family today. At the same time, I am also an Elf Contractor.”

 “The daughter of the first king?”

 “Elf Contractor?”

"This is impossible!?"

Hearing Lumiere's answer, the three girls were extremely surprised, but each of them cared about something different. Agnesfia seemed to be more concerned about the fact that the girl in front of her was the daughter of the first king, but for Euphilia For Tierti, it seems that her identity as an elf contractor is more important.

"What's wrong?"

Duanmuhuai glanced at Euphilia curiously.

“Isn’t it just an elf contract? Isn’t your elf magic also obtained by signing a contract with the elf?”

 “This is different.”

 Euphilia shook her head desperately.

"The Elf Contract is different from ordinary Elf magic. It is a ritual that can be completed by making a contract with the Great Elf who is said to have great power - not everyone can do it. However, almost no one knows how to conclude a contract with the Great Elf. , even we think this is just a legend..."

 “This is not a legend.”

Lumiere shook his head.

 “Do you still remember how Paretia established the country?”

"I remember………"

Facing Lumiere’s question, Euphilia frowned and recalled.

"The ancestor king and the people he led faced the threat of demons and longed to pray for salvation, so the elves existing in this land were moved by their spirits, so they gave them the power of elven magic, thus establishing this country. "

 “That’s right.”

Lumiere nodded, and then she looked at Duanmuhuai.

“Sir, it seems that you are familiar with my existence?”

“That’s right, you signed a contract with the demon in the subspace and assimilated with it. Now your body is exuding the stench from the subspace... You don’t want to say that you are still human.”

"of course not."

Lumiere shook his head.

“In fact, I know better than anyone else how terrible the elves are. It was precisely because of those elves that my father went completely crazy.”

 “The first king...is crazy??”

"Yes, you have no idea how terrible elves are - demons. Yes, this gentleman's assessment is correct. Those elves are demons, and we are stupid mortals who were fooled by demons. "

"I do not understand………"

　　Looking at Lumiere with a bitter expression in front of them, everyone looked confused, and the latter sighed.

 “Then, let me tell you a story.”

 Then, Lumiere looked at the people in front of him and said.
