T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 157, Section 156: The Siren Queen
The moment the boundary between reality and illusion was opened, Ksha sent an invitation from the Siren Queen.

The Siren Queen [Jingxin], aged 332, is the youngest Siren Lord in the history of the Fallen Star Royal Court, and it is rumored that she has already reached the ninth rank.

Even Kesha, who was often with the Queen, was unaware of the details. Jingxin rarely spoke of her own power and spent most of her time immersed in her collection of books.

To put it offensively, she's a nerd.

However, over the past hundred years, she gradually ended her reclusive lifestyle, and then...

He was never in the royal court, leaving affairs to the high priests, and instead went ashore to travel and play.

Offline monarchy has existed among the siren rulers throughout history, but Jingxin's offline time has clearly broken the record set by the Fallen Star Siren.

Sirens have no urgent survival pressures, no political struggles, and their biggest conflicts are nothing more than squabbles between individuals.

The only clear problem is the fertility crisis—something Jingxin is powerless to change even if she wants to.

Various factors led to Jingxin being able to do whatever she wanted.

Kesha jokingly remarked that the boundary between the real and the virtual had caught a good time, since no one knew how long Her Majesty the Queen would stay at the royal court.

As for why the Queen specifically summoned him, Kshatriya had no idea.

She boldly guessed, blushing, that they might be going to audit Jiang Heyi.

Kesha's talent was discovered early on. While Jingxin was engrossed in books, Kesha and several other sea monsters were taken in and carefully taught by her.

The royal court's siren genius is about to be abducted by a strange human youth. As Her Majesty the Queen, it is only right that she conducts a thorough investigation.

Does the game also include a "meeting the parents" element?

It shouldn't be too strict, right?

Jiang Heyi was actually a little nervous.

Instead of leading the group to the Fallen Star Lord's Palace, which displayed the queen's majesty, Ksha passed through a portal and arrived above a vast coral reef.

A huge, oval-shaped bubble floated above everyone's heads, its surface rippling slightly, making it impossible to see its internal structure clearly.

As Ksha enveloped everyone in magic, they easily became immune to the bubble's own magic circle and passed through it.

The interior of the bubble was much larger than it appeared from the outside, which was clearly the effect of spatial magic.

Surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers and vegetation, a three-story brick mansion stands in the center, with a rooftop terrace where lounge chairs, bookshelves, and dried fish can be vaguely seen.

The warmth of everyday life eased Jiang Heyi's inner unease.

A pure black kitten is curled up in a ball, sleeping on a recliner.

The black cat could easily trigger PTSD in everyone present, but it was just a pet that Queen Jingxin found while traveling.

A real pet has no fighting ability; its only advantage is its ability to eat. Fortunately, there are countless dried fish in the ocean.

"Is that a manta ray?"

Zhong Zemo nervously pointed his finger.

In the woods at the end of the flower field, a group of manta rays, their bodies covered in water bubbles, floated slowly.

Zhong Zemo was nervous because a small opening had appeared in the abdomen of the manta rays, from which strange, tentacle-like objects extended.

They used their tentacles to quickly trim this private flower garden, which featured an artificial sun and simulated the earth's surface.

Only now did Jiang Heyi realize that here, without the need for Kexia's water element affinity, one could breathe freely, just like on the ground.

"The terrestrial species used to call them 'manta rays,' but after the magic surge, some of them mutated and grew tentacles. Now, perhaps the name 'devil ray' is more appropriate?"

On the mansion's terrace, a water-like figure, with an empty humanoid silhouette but no facial features and a body that is always in a state of flux, floats out.

Only the scales on its chest were solid, clear and bright like a mirror.

This may be the origin of her name.

"Your Majesty...Teacher, it's been a long time!"

Kesha released its tail from Jiang Heyi's hand and quickly landed beside the Waterman, embracing him without hesitation.

There was no offense, nor would there be any reprimand. The water flowing from Queen Mirror Heart wrapped around Kesha like tentacles, gently scratching her cheek.

“It seems you are somewhat surprised.” Jingxin looked up and saw the somewhat dazed boundary between reality and illusion. “No need to be reserved, all of you, come down.”

With a gentle wave of her hand, an invisible magic drew everyone closer.

Mint wasn't someone like those who lacked basic knowledge of magic, like those at the boundary between reality and illusion. Having witnessed the power of the Star Speakers Academy's big shots, she swallowed hard when facing Queen Mirrorheart.

Very strong.

"It seems you're quite surprised by my attitude?"

Seeing her children about to nod like clueless idiots, Mint quickly gave them a quick science lesson.

"This is an elemental body!"

The siren's form is very complex, and their innate elemental body allows them to transform into elemental forms.

However, most sirens who have already condensed their flesh and blood bodies through magic do not need to spend time and effort to transform.

Elemental beings lack the senses of taste and smell, and their craving for food is reduced to simply being full. They can sustain themselves by absorbing the elemental power of the surrounding space.

For the siren race, who enjoy fun and seek novelty, the existence of elemental bodies simply gives them more options. They only waste a lot of time and energy switching forms when they are comprehending magic and studying magic.

After all, under the elemental body, they will lose their proud power of words.

Queen Jingxin used water to outline her facial features, and she was looking at Mint with an approving gaze.

“You’ve come at just the right time. I’m currently transforming into a physical body. If you’d like to observe, feel free to do so,” she said. “You can go back and brag to your friends on land that you’ve seen Her Majesty the Queen’s transformation.”

As expected of a siren, even a queen of her stature is such a comedian...

Queen Jingxin casually invited everyone to sit down.

A giant manta ray flew over, its tentacles extending from its abdomen as if parasitized by a deformed monster, and skillfully brewed tea for everyone and served it on the table.

If it weren't for the tentacles being so unsettling, people might have been able to gasp in amazement.

"Evolution is different from XP; it doesn't take aesthetics into account."

Uh……

Your Majesty, what exactly did you learn from the land-dwelling species during your travels across the continent of Anna?
"What, do you think I'm wrong?"

Everyone nodded.

Kesha dared to test the strength of Jiang Heyi's hammer with his own head. Now it seems that it's not just the Sirens' overall carefree attitude that's to blame; Queen Jingxin's teachings also bear some responsibility...

“I heard from Kesha that potatoes can grow and have a very strange power.”

Are you here? Let's get down to business.

"How about showing it to us?"

Jiang Heyi took out the dried rations of perch, rabbit meat, and venison that he had prepared beforehand and ate them all at once.

The moment the Gluttonous One manifested, an invisible pressure surged towards Queen Mirrorheart and Kesha.

Kesha was overjoyed. Despite being suppressed and having some difficulty breathing, her face was flushed.

The flow of water on Queen Mirror's body slowed down visibly, and the demonic scales on her chest faintly glowed with a silvery-white light.

"Can it become even stronger?" Queen Jingxin asked.

"Let me try."

Jiang Heyi held her breath and focused her mind, resonating wholeheartedly with the power of the Glutton's incarnation.

With a low growl, the power of the raging incarnation roared out. Orange Tea of ​​the Rabbit-Eared Clan was the first to feel the change in power.

Her senses were unusually sharp.

The manta ray's tentacles swayed intently, moving in slow motion.

The sound of the vast ocean flowing beyond the bubbles flooded my mind.

The invisible magic seemed to have taken form; she could smell its strange aroma and sense its flowing trajectory.

Kesha felt unusually heavy. She was imagining Jiang Heyi pressing down on her, and her tail twitched involuntarily as she let out a silly chuckle...

At the very center of the storm, Queen Mirror remained unmoved, calmly guiding the tea to merge with her elemental form, and serenely finished sipping her tea.

"An extraordinary ability, it's as if it was created specifically to counter the siren," Queen Mirror Heart commented. "I can feel the demonic scales trembling, involuntarily wanting to retaliate."

"If you were stronger, you would be a greater threat to the siren."

Her pure appreciation, her unhurried tone, and the composure of the Queen of Mirror Heart commanded awe from everyone on the boundary between reality and illusion.

If it were another race, upon learning that someone possessed the ability to suppress their race's talents, they would probably immediately issue a kill order to nip the threat in the bud.

"So..." Queen Jingxin extended her arm and kneaded Kesha's cheek, "You like Kesha?"

"Hmm... Although it was sudden, I think I like her," Jiang Heyi said frankly. "She's very cute."

French Fries took a deep breath.

Watching Kesha's tail sway back and forth, almost like a dog shaking into a fan, she took another breath.

"Life is short, and the most beautiful and brilliant time should not be wasted."

Queen Jingxin extended her other hand, grabbed Jiang Heyi, and pushed him towards Kexia, and the two of them ended up embracing.

They were so close that they could feel each other's body temperature.

What a wonderful feeling...

She released the object with satisfaction, clapped her hands, and let out a warm and cheerful auntie laugh.

"The bloodline that can suppress the power of the siren must be inherited."

"They're all healthy, let's have more children and strive to contribute to the royal court!"

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today!"

what?
The boundary between reality and illusion is blurred, and people are collectively spraying tea.

Seeing that Ke Xia's eyes were all drooling, Jiang Heyi quickly pulled a prop out of his pocket.

There's still one thing I haven't done during my visit today.

"Your Majesty Jingxin, please take a look at this."

The water carried the bird skull, shrouded in black mist, to the Queen's hands. She closed her eyes and gently stroked it, as if sensing something.

"A demon..."

In the phrase.

French fries couldn't wait to open their mouths, afraid that Ke Xia would come to her senses and pounce on Jiang Heyi again.

"You know about demons?"

Jingxin played with the skull: "The person you're looking for is in the Mage Tower of the Anna Empire. I'm not entirely sure about the details."

Finally, a clue was found, but problems arose as a result.

Mint couldn't suppress her curiosity: "What exactly is a demon?"

“The answer should be discovered by you yourselves,” Jingxin sighed. “The empire is going too far, forcing even demons to appear in the city-states.”

It was clear from their words that even the sirens, who were usually peaceful and unassuming, were beginning to feel dissatisfied with the Ana Empire.

Each of the seashells that Jingxin distributed to everyone was imprinted with her mark. From now on, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, except for some special locations in the royal court, can be traversed without hindrance.

Mint specifically inquired whether she could enter the Fallen Star Library, only to receive a regretful negative answer.

The Fallen Star Library is open only to sirens.

To gain access, one needs to make certain contributions and gain the approval of the High Priest and Jingxin.

Jiang Heyi understood; this was to increase reputation.

"I'm leaving Kesha in your hands. You two should work together to 'grow' together."

Shui Ren Jingxin gradually formed a fist, and then raised her thumb.

"Ksha, I don't need to tell you that you should show the siren's passionate side, do I?"

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm learning very well!"

Wait a moment?
Do you sirens even have special courses?
As Jiang Heyi left the bubble in the mirror, the guild treasure he carried lit up with a notification.

This means that you can assign a specific character to invite her to the guild.

"Ksha, I have something for you."

The moment the precious jade was given to Kesha, a force guided Kesha to infuse it with magic. In an instant, the precious jade recorded information and completed its binding with the guild space at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

Realizing what had happened, Ksha chuckled.

"Does this mean you're handing me the house keys?"

Such a powerful offensive! Jiang Heyi felt he was about to be overwhelmed...

French Fries stepped forward: "Kshasa, the most urgent task at the boundary between the real and the virtual is to conquer a special underground temple, which will affect the future of the guild."

"I hope you can give us your full support in getting this done; it's very important to us."

Kesha's expressive eyes blinked, as if asking, "Really?"

After Jiang Heyi nodded, Kesha finally revealed the same seriousness she had shown at the Narum mansion that day—only a few days had passed, and everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds had almost forgotten that she also had a domineering side.

All I can say is that this is the siren, a wondrous race.

"Looks like a tremendous honor. Since Potato wants it, I'll definitely get it for you!" Kesha rubbed his hands together eagerly. "What do you need me to do?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Sending Kesha to assist in the battle might lead to a sudden increase in intensity and something unexpected happening. Wouldn't Jiang Heyi's fiancée be in trouble...?

Upon thinking about it, everyone shook their heads violently.

Even though it's just a game, they absolutely don't want to watch this kind of life-or-death separation!
Jiang Heyi pushed Mint forward: "Your task is to train her combat skills."

Kesha carefully examined the somewhat chubby Mint: "Isn't she a pharmacist? Why does she need combat power too?"

Upon learning of the feud between Mint and the genius magician Renee, Kesha immediately patted her chest, indicating that she would take care of it.

"If Mint can't beat Renee in the end, I'll be Potato's mount when I visit the Royal Court!"

"?"

A huge question mark appeared above everyone's head at the boundary between the real and the virtual.

"No, there's no need for this..."

"What if we win?" the jailer asked curiously. "Would you ride a potato?"

"No, I'll still be Potato's mount," Ksha said matter-of-factly, "in the guild."

It's all the same result!
