Skadi, returning to infinity

However, given the special nature of Yunlei City and the Lei family's capabilities, they were able to secretly implant Gu worms into their daughters' bodies and launch attacks.

Just how well does that force know the Lei family, and how powerful is it?

"Was it Zhenlong who did it?"

The first person who came to Skadi's mind capable of doing such a thing was the True Dragon of Yan Kingdom.

But she then dismissed her guess, wondering why the true dragon of Yan Kingdom would do such a thing, even if it were capable of it.

Has the Lei family become so powerful that they overshadow the emperor, or have they grown so influential that they can no longer be controlled?

Despite the large number of troops here, Skadi did not believe that the war potential inherent in the development of the Great Yan over the past few hundred years would be afraid of this city.

If the Lei family really rebels, they should be allowed to raise an army first before being suppressed.

This way, we can both legitimately deal with the Lei family and deter other forces that might want to cause trouble.

The question is, why would the Lei family rebel? Skadi walked out of the Lei family compound and sensed nothing unusual in the surrounding area.

Therefore, the possibility of the Lei family rebelling is ruled out, and the possibility of Zhenlong intervening is also ruled out.

If it's not a true dragon, then it must be something else—a powerful family, sect, or religion in the Yan Kingdom.

However, the Yan Kingdom is a highly unified, centralized state. For these forces to take action against a family that guards the capital is clearly a harbinger of rebellion.

Making these small moves before even launching an attack is clearly an attempt to lure the true dragon into their trap.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't do something so stupid.

After all, this is not the era of cold weapons; this is the modern era with highly advanced information technology and Originium Arts.

If any problems arise, they can be communicated directly via message and the system can be activated quickly.

Therefore, this possibility is unlikely and can be disregarded.

So what remains are Lei's enemies and the forces that want to disrupt the Great Yan and gain benefits.

Whether the Lei family has enemies of this type is something they wouldn't know unless they told them.

If they hide things from her, then she can't be blamed if something really goes wrong.

If they weren't enemies, then there could only be one reason—to wipe out the Lei family, who guarded the capital, and then use this incident to gradually...

The Great Yan Dynasty was plunged into chaos.

The two forces that could benefit most from the internal strife in the Great Yan Dynasty were Ursus and the Eastern Kingdom.

"Interesting." Skadi stopped her analysis here; her information was limited, and she had only reached this point.

It's already very good.

If you let her guess any further, she won't be able to make a judgment.

Moreover, this is only a possible outcome. Whether it is true or not, she believes that her own investigation after the Great Yan Dynasty will be much more accurate than her guess.

"I'll arrange for a few people to come and serve you later. Just tell them if you need anything."

Madam Lei's words were not motivated by any other intention; she didn't want anyone to monitor them, but rather she genuinely wanted to treat the person who saved her daughter better.

"No need, we can manage on our own here. I'll let you know if we need anything."

Madam Ray meant well, but Skadi had no intention of accepting the maids.

After all, although this villa is not small, it is enough for four adults and a sleeping girl. Any more than that, and there would be no privacy at all.

space.

Besides, she's not used to being waited on by unfamiliar people. She's not the kind of person who expects to be waited on hand and foot; she can take care of herself.

"Is that so? Okay then."

"I will arrange for someone to deliver fruits, vegetables, and food regularly."

"Is everything alright?" Mrs. Lei really wanted to do something for Skadi.

So even if it's something that's not outrageous and won't cause misunderstandings, she still asks it cautiously.

"no problem."

By agreeing to this, Mrs. Lei wouldn't have to worry about so much.

"Ok."

"Miss Skadi is free to explore Yunlei City for the next couple of days. I'll inform her when I get back. Except for some military restricted areas..."

"Besides, Miss Skadi, you are all welcome to come, and all expenses will be covered by the Ray family. This is just a small token of our hospitality."

Mrs. Ray spoke cautiously, afraid that her presumptuous arrangement would displease Skadi.

"That's wonderful, I appreciate your thoughtfulness, Madam."

"Don't worry, I will fully assist you in dealing with the Gu worm problem."

"As for Miss Lei, what I can do is not up to me, but rather up to whether she trusts me."

"Wait two days. If Miss Lei still can't trust me and reveal some information by the third day, then I will leave."

Skadi's words weren't a threat, but rather a way of telling them something—Rai knew certain information, but she wasn't going to say it.

"I see.

Mrs. Ray opened her eyes wide; she understood Skadi's meaning.

Whether this is true or not, she, as the mother, should be able to get an answer soon.

If what Skadi said is true, then Raiko's situation is not as simple as it seems now.

"Master, are you saying this matter is related to that patient?"

After watching Madam Lei's departing figure gradually disappear at the end of the road, Medea turned around and asked curiously.

"Yes."

Skadi recalled the glance she exchanged with Raiko before leaving the room.

Lei Zi's eyes clearly showed hesitation and fear, which was a typical expression of emotion that concealed some information.

She hid it well on the surface, but her eyes betrayed her.

Skadi couldn't figure out what Lei Zi was hiding. It was best to let the Lei family handle this themselves; they could ask Lei Zi.

As for whether this matter involves other people or forces, that depends on whether it falls under the category of "family scandals should not be aired in public."

That kind of thing.

Moreover, she had already done more than enough by staying for three days. Even if she couldn't do anything else, the fact that her letter to the True Dragon received a response was already a great honor.

I accomplished something that made me happy.

"Maybe..." Skadi sighed slightly. This matter was not that simple.

Judging from this incident, the internal forces within Yan are also quite complex.

The reason there hasn't been a bombshell yet is entirely because the true dragon is too outstanding.

If someone else had been in charge, the Yan Kingdom might already be in chaos.

"Could there be something similar to the black snake?"

Skadi was thinking when this possibility suddenly occurred to her.

That's actually quite possible—the Great Yan Dynasty existed for such a long time, and it was said that all the gods were driven out of the Great Yan.

But there's no guarantee that some guys won't sneak back and cause trouble, making a mess of the Great Yan.

That way they would have a chance to make a comeback, avenge the dragon, and "reclaim" their own territory.

For these "gods" whose lifespans often exceed a thousand years, spending decades preparing a conspiracy and plan is a trivial matter.

"I'm really getting more and more entangled with God."

Skadi couldn't help but laugh as she rubbed her forehead at the thought of the worst possible outcome.

"What's wrong, Master? Are you troubled by this matter?"

Artoria stood beside Zhao Yun'er, who was still fast asleep, holding her in her arms. Seeing her sighing and rubbing her forehead, she asked with some concern.

"No, I just thought of something interesting."

It's best not to talk about things like "gods" or similar concepts; we can talk about them when we come into contact with them later.

If I don't speak up now, I won't be noticed.

Conversely, if she tells the truth, it's fine if it's false; there won't be any problems. But if it's true, then things will get really interesting.

"Alright, since Master doesn't seem to have any worries, I won't ask anymore."

"I'll put Yun'er in the room first. Master, would you like to choose a room?"

Artoria looked at Zhao Yun'er in her arms and felt it was time to put her on the bed so she could rest properly.

"You can leave the room on this side to me."

Skadi pointed down the mountain, and that direction led to the western region.

"Ok."

Carrying Zhao Yun'er, Artoria entered the courtyard.

"What about you? Aren't you going to tidy up?" She turned to look at Medea, wondering why this woman was still watching her.
