The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

Roger's face turned red as he surrendered, "Your Majesty, this really won't work."

"So clumsy!" The Eternal Night Empress looked disgusted. "Don't think of yourself as yourself; imagine you are Dio."

Roger was shocked. Did this woman actually have moments of intelligence?

He closed his eyes and gradually found the feeling.

Finally, he ended his state of being a tower shield and could move.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. If I fail again, I might have to ask you to violently break the shield for me." Roger moved his arms and legs, feeling that being human was better!

The Eternal Night Empress snorted. If I were to break the shield, wouldn't your recovery time be even longer?

No, I still have to persuade him to take the initiative to meditate. The magician camp has already shown that my own answers aren't ideal; I still need to copy homework to be safe!

She thought for a moment and casually instructed, "The empire is going through turbulent times. Minister Roger, for your own safety, you should replenish your mental power as soon as possible. You've cultivated this Dream Shield very well, which can greatly increase your survival rate."

Roger nodded. "Indeed, I also think this skill is good. The remaining mental power is enough to support me until Your Majesty arrives."

Eternal Night Empress: ???

Am I your nanny or your bodyguard?

She said dissatisfiedly, "Roger, as a subject, you're not thinking about protecting the Empress, but always expecting the Empress to save you. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

Roger asked doubtfully, "Then, Your Majesty, are there any situations where you need my protection?"

The Eternal Night Empress suddenly fell silent.

I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have become so strong from the beginning.

If I weren't so strong, Roger wouldn't just want to lie down. If he didn't lie down, he would actively meditate to protect himself, and I wouldn't be reduced to a point where I can't hear his thoughts…

All the mistakes are mine?

She forcibly suppressed the urge to blast Roger into particles with a meteor shower and changed the subject. "The nobles will become restless and jump out in the next few days. That will be the time for the Nightwatch to show their skills. I hope you lead the team personally."

"Everything is within Your Majesty's plan. I believe Sparrow and Nightingale are enough to suppress all situations. There's no need for me to add to the chaos, right?"

"But this kind of free battle is an excellent opportunity to accumulate military merits." The Eternal Night Empress said earnestly, "Little Roger, if one day I'm gone, you will have to lead this empire forward. You must start accumulating prestige now to suppress the empire's strong individuals."

Roger looked at the Eternal Night Empress's serious expression, and his heart trembled inexplicably. He quickly said, "Your Majesty is in the prime of life… in her youthful years, sitting on the throne for three to five hundred years is easy. Why are you suddenly saying this kind of thing?"

The Eternal Night Empress looked directly into his eyes. "You probably have guessed it. Don't say the gods don't give me a chance, but my strength improvement has come at a cost…"

Roger had guessed before, but hearing the Eternal Night Empress personally say that her strength improvement came at the cost of lifespan, he was very shocked.

She has given too much for the continuation of the empire, it's no exaggeration to say she has given everything…

He subconsciously lowered his head, not wanting the Eternal Night Empress to see the sadness in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "With Your Majesty's strength and the empire's power, there are always ways to extend your life."

"There are ways, but there's no time and energy for such things right now. Moreover, the stronger the strength, the more resistant you are to those methods."

The Eternal Night Empress smiled freely, "So, I always have to make some arrangements for the future. For example, I need you to bear more pressure and grow up as soon as possible. After me, there should always be someone who can support this empire."

The Eternal Night Empress just wanted to act a little to make him feel sorry for her.

But as she spoke, thinking that the empire would most likely be suppressed to death by the gods, or even if it wasn't suppressed, she might not see it take off, she suddenly felt a surge of sadness.

So, I'm also afraid of death…

There is great terror between life and death. Some things, humans will refuse to think about in their hearts.

But no matter how unwilling they are to admit it, they subconsciously understand the truth.

The Eternal Night Empress was only half-truthful at the beginning, wanting to create some pressure for Roger, but as she spoke, she suddenly realized that she had already made arrangements in her subconscious mind, and she instantly became emotional.

If it were the former her, filled with self-blame and guilt, she would bury herself with the empire without regret, putting life and death aside.

But now she has seen through it and embarked on the path of extreme self, she will find that she is actually reluctant to part with this empire, reluctant to part with those hardworking and diligent people, reluctant to part with this guy in front of her, and possibly the children she will have with him…

She may not even have time to watch her or him grow up.

The smile on her face was as bright and perfect as possible, seemingly comforting him not to worry, but the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed at all, and her tone gradually softened like a dream.

She, in a red dress, was domineering and unparalleled, not touching the dust, hovering in the air above the battlefield covered with corpses and blood, but she was so beautiful and dazzling.

This scene really became like entrusting the orphan.

The stronger and more determined that beautiful figure was, the sharper the sadness was, as if to say that she was omnipotent and almost a god, but there were always many things she couldn't get.

Roger raised his head and truly read the sadness flowing from her as if it were real, and his heart suddenly ached as if gripped by a giant hand.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Roger nodded vigorously, indicating that he was willing to hold the baton she handed over for her and for this empire.

In his subconscious mind, he thought that the Eternal Night Empress, who would never fail, frankly admitted the hidden danger of her lifespan and begged him to continue walking one day, and he really couldn't refuse this trust.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly the Eternal Night Empress turned her head, avoiding his gaze, and said in a disgusted tone, "Okay, don't look like I'm terminally ill and will die tomorrow. At least within ten years, I will definitely not die suddenly, and I will personally smash the brains of the gods!"

She turned her head again and had restored the playful and contemptuous smile of the past few days, and one hand pressed hard on his shoulder: "The situation is dangerous, Minister Roger, don't relax your vigilance, you must complete the task in the most perfect state, otherwise I will worry about you too."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand that even a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit." Roger took a deep breath and answered in as relaxed a tone as possible.

"Good boy, Little Roger." The Eternal Night Empress pinched his face, and her figure gradually faded away.

Well, I succeeded in getting him to meditate to restore his mental power!

It's just that, clearly grasping people's hearts, but not happy at all, and feeling very heavy.

She didn't understand that Taibella used routines to exchange for sincerity, but she accidentally used sincerity to exchange for sincerity.

When she gave the future pressure to Roger, she also took on the responsibility of protecting him and cultivating him in the present.

Roger, who was left in place, also showed a trace of confusion.

In order to prevent the Green Vine from falling apart one day without the Empress, I need to start accumulating prestige now, and then stand up at the right time. I'm willing to do this, after all, I also recognize this empire.

But why is it Little Roger?

I wanted to have a crown prince with Your Majesty, but in the end, the crown prince is myself?

I've been treated as a child from beginning to end…

This hell difficulty start is getting weirder and weirder. Can I still see a comeback?

Chapter 116: Dio and Roger Appear at the Same Time?

Military Department, the luxurious office of the Left Prime Minister.

The Eternal Night Empress did not return to the Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace, but teleported here, and was hearing Margaret scolding her incompetent subordinates:

"Let you cripple a junior magician, such a simple task can still let him get away unscathed, are you idiots? No, you are big idiots! Big idiot, big idiot, big idiot!"

This little devil's voice is clear and sweet, and when scolding people, her emotions are full, and there is a kind of… pleasant feeling in the cadence.

The cowardly fence-sitting nobles, because of Margaret's scolding, suddenly boosted their morale and dared to resist the undead army, which is inextricably linked to Margaret's outstanding performance.

A group of subordinates superficially lowered their heads and humbly accepted the lesson, but in fact, they were afraid of being seen by the leader with their enjoying expressions.

As the working hours get longer, many people have a strange symptom that they feel uncomfortable all over if they are not scolded by the Left Prime Minister for a day…

One is willing to hit and the other is willing to be beaten, Margaret scolds with great comfort, and a group of certain palace diseases are scolded with great comfort, and the meeting is dismissed.

The Eternal Night Empress then spoke lightly: "Mary, is the junior magician you want to cripple called Roger Charles?"

"Ah, Participating Majesty, when did you come? Should I make you tea?" Margaret turned around abruptly, her little tail wagging and wagging, excitedly poking her hands.

The Eternal Night Empress snorted: "No need, answer my question first."

"This… Your Majesty, can I remain silent?" Margaret suddenly felt guilty, and she also knew that Roger's position in the Eternal Night Empress's heart was unusual.

If she secretly crippled him and found a temporary worker to take the blame, that would be natural.

But now this person hasn't been crippled, and he's been caught by the Eternal Night Empress…

The Eternal Night Empress used a mage hand to lift her up by the tail: "Of course you can, but I'll still hit you!"

Looking at the receding ground, Margaret wailed: "Your Majesty, I'm wronged, I'm really wronged, it was Roger who took the initiative to ask me to help test the strength of his skills!"

"Help test, stop when you get there, why cripple him?"

"I didn't cripple him, those big idiot subordinates, didn't even break his shield, they just consumed a little mental power?"

"Oh, consumed a little mental power…"

The more the Eternal Night Empress thought about it, the angrier she became. Another mage hand was used, rhythmically patting Margaret's little butt, gradually accelerating.

Do you know how much effort I spent to coax him to meditate to actively restore his mental power?

You don't know at all! You simply won't understand how difficult it is for me!

You are no longer the Margaret who can share my worries, you are a stupid demon blinded by jealousy!

However, the feel of hitting a fool is getting better and better…

Margaret cried violently.

Your Majesty, you are clearly not angry anymore, why are you still hitting me?

I'm dizzy, I'm really dizzy, if I keep spinning, I'm going to separate into solid and liquid, ah!

……

……

Drinking Ice Manor.

Shadow Puppet Roger began to compile the next issue of "Arcane Talks", and at the same time, "New Arcane" also began to select topics.

There are follow-up studies from the previous issue's papers, and there are also new research contents.

In this current situation where magic and technology are just beginning to collide, it is really too easy to find content that magicians are interested in and quarrel about.

Even if Dean Hall's invention of the tape recorder cannot be made public for the time being, I believe that the Secret Law Society will soon find inventions that have nothing to do with espionage work according to this idea to prove that ordinary people can also use tools to cast spells.

Whether it is magic or technology, it should be a tool for humans to solve problems. There is no superiority or inferiority. Whichever is more convenient and cheaper should be used.

While the shadow puppet was busy with work, Roger's main body returned to Charles House to meditate and restore his mental power.

There is a higher fire-type magic element in the rare wax nest. Although it cannot increase the recovery speed, it will make him feel more comfortable, and the magic accumulation speed is three times that of the outside world, and the passive growth during sleep is one time.

Moreover, Roger found that he could ignore it when he entered a meditative state, and concentrate on continuing to do whatever the shadow puppet should do, which greatly reduced the boredom of cultivation.

Here, I would like to thank Little Joey for her clever cooperation. Not only did she handle the work of "New Arcane" quite perfectly, but the preparation of the Nightwatch was also very smooth.

The Eternal Night Empress supported ten legendary-level powerhouses, fifty magisters, and outstanding newcomers who had just graduated from the two major magic academies.

Roger then recruited powerhouses according to the list. A small part of them cannot be found yet, and there are still a few who have not grown up, but they can also join the Nightwatch for training.

The basic soldiers are elites drawn from the main battle corps. It is expected that the first brigade of the Nightwatch, with a total of one thousand people, can be filled within three days.

This is the mobilization ability of the early days of the Green Vine Empire. Strong people emerge in large numbers, and newcomers are also quite excellent. The most important thing is that continuous victories make everyone dare to fight, and young people are passionate and willing to be loyal to the wise and martial Empress.

Therefore, in contrast, the Eternal Night Empress always feels that this guy Roger is really difficult to control and has too many of his own ideas.

Fortunately, as the two people get more and more contact, Roger's awareness becomes higher and higher, his recognition of the empire deepens, and he gradually becomes more proactive.

Sometimes, Roger can't tell whether it's because he has been here for a long time and has developed feelings for this land, or because the sunk costs invested are gradually increasing, and he is reluctant to let it be destroyed by the Seven Gods, and wants to do his part to help it go further.

But after all, this country is getting better and better, right?

Roger believes that what he does will definitely help those who are as destitute as he was in the past.

Cut off all the corrupt, old, and binding things of mankind. Even if he is covered in blood in the process, but when the wounds heal, we will always go further with a light load.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and night fell.

Roger walked to Little Joey's office and forcibly pulled up the girl who was working seriously: "It's time to get off work!"

"There are still a few documents that haven't been processed…" Little Joey complained in a low voice, but she still didn't dare to violate the wishes of Lord Roger, and began to pack her things and prepare to get off work.

It was agreed to "date" tonight.

Thinking of this, the energetic girl became happy and packed up her desk and went to touch up her makeup.

Roger sat in his room, patiently waiting for the lady to make her appearance, but suddenly frowned as he remembered something.

His appearance and clothes rippled slightly.

Soon, he transformed into the appearance of Dio Brando.

Because of the Sky Prison break incident today, even the Eternal Night Empress had personally appeared, and Roger Charles's involvement was also widely known.

Therefore, his return to the Charles estate was also known to many.

Furthermore, this wave of seeing Tassica off, Roger's script was "privately acting to release an important hostage," which was ultimately a negative event.
