"Thank you for your kind words." Reinhard bowed very politely, showing great respect to Chu Xing.
Without saying another word, they entered the city!
Out of Reinhard's sight, Chu Xing casually tossed the Royal Knight Badge aside, scoffing, "I never thought that a badge I randomly picked up and considered worthless could be used to fool people now!"
"But that guy is so handsome! And he has such a great presence!"
Ram rested her chin on her hand, seemingly savoring Reinhard's exquisite features. Then, perhaps sensing a hint of bitterness, she chuckled and said, "It's a pity, being handsome doesn't put food on the table. That young man, though very good-looking, seems a bit dim-witted. He's a bit silly. I suppose if you were willing, you could probably make him a henchman!"
"Of course! Don't you know who I am? A beauty with brains!" Chu Xing straightened his back and boasted without any restraint. The three girls chuckled awkwardly and said nothing more.
###190. Intruder? ###
The next day.
Roswaal also arrived in the city and joined Chu Xing and the others!
"My dear Chu Xing, I feel that the capital is in a bit too chaotic right now. There are people from all sorts of forces, and even people from foreign countries are being brought in in large numbers! It seems that whether the royal selection can be held as scheduled is a problem!" Roswaal put a hand on Chu Xing's shoulder, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile.
Upon arriving in this country, the border count immediately sensed a strange atmosphere pervading the entire city! Every few steps revealed a formidable presence! He wondered if Reinhard, guarding the gate, was even of any use…
Chu Xing glanced at him, shrugged, and said indifferently, "Who cares? So what if it can't be held? I don't particularly want Lia to become a priestess or the heir to the throne."
"Uh...hehe."
Roswaal smiled enigmatically, then added, "Actually, the real time for the royal selection hasn't arrived yet. This time, we're just here to prove that Emilia is qualified to compete for the throne, which is to prove it through the Dragonstone. The tiny Dragonstone from before was very easy to misjudge!"
The Dragon Calendar Stone displayed in the palace is the original Dragon Calendar Stone, the most authentic one that has truly been blessed by the divine dragon!
"Ah!"
Chu Xing also chuckled, but his chuckle contained mockery and disdain!
It's truly absurd that the fate of a nation is to be decided by a single stone!
If a bunch of scoundrels are selected, even if there's a speech afterwards, it will be a chaotic mess, and the fate of the country might be ruined!
But there was nothing they could do. Those old fogies who stayed in the Senate had lived through too long a peaceful life and were used to worshipping the dragon, hoping that the great dragon that had survived to this day would lead them on the road to a strong nation!
This is faith, and it is also the path that Lugunica, the nation of Lugunica, walks!
Regardless of what others say about this policy, over the past few hundred years, Lugunica, despite being a weak nation, has continued to exist on the continent. As long as the dragon protects them, Lugunica can exist forever, and no one can conquer their territory!
The Senate firmly believed in this. Hundreds of years of history had deeply ingrained in them the idea of worshipping the dragon and letting it rule the country. It was not something that could be changed by a few words or by a few people opposing it!
"So what if things are unstable! I'd also like to see how many people will jump out. Watching this country descend into chaos, yet having nothing to do with us, would be a pretty good experience."
Chu Xing smiled, casually pulled the pink-haired girl standing behind him into his arms, and looked at Roswaal, continuing, "Even if this country is destroyed, it won't have much to do with me! Just because a country is in chaos doesn't mean I can't continue to hold my cute little sister, does it? Let's be clear! Roswaal, you may still be a member of this country, but I'm not even from this world. Even if Lugunica is really destroyed, I can just find another country to stay in. Anyway, with my strength, I can easily make a living in any country by just agreeing to a few requests!"
"That's true."
Roswaal nodded slightly with a faint smile and continued, "Tomorrow, you can get tested tomorrow. I'll take Emilia to the palace then, and you'll have to wait outside, Chu Xing. That's the rule, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Emilia! Although I'm not as strong as you, please believe me. In this city, protecting a young girl is something I can easily do!"
"Of course I believe you!"
Chu Xing patted Roswaal on the shoulder and said with a smile, "But I can still go in with you! Hmm, you might not know this, but I have the Royal Knight's badge, which was given to me by the Second Prince. The most basic right of this badge is that I can freely enter and leave the palace!"
"Oh?"
Roswaal was taken aback. He hadn't expected this. He was still thinking of finding a way to get Emilia out of the palace... Tsk, he really underestimated Chu Xing. He really didn't want Emilia to disappear from his sight!
Ah, Roswaal really didn't understand why Chu Xing was being so cautious. It was as if he had been seen through!
Roswaal's eyes narrowed slightly, then his expression changed into an exaggerated smile as he said cheerfully, "Alright then, let's go in together. With Chu Xing by my side, I feel like Emilia's selection as the Queen is really secure this time!"
"Hehe, I'll take your kind words!"
Chu Xing casually replied, no longer focusing his gaze on Roswaal, but instead looking at Ram in his arms, pinching and poking her pretty face from time to time, having a great time! He completely ignored Ram biting her teeth, looking like she wanted to eat him alive!
"... "
Roswaal's eye twitched. He felt that he was getting in the way, so he said goodbye and turned to leave!
...
Night falls, and another day is about to come to an end!
just.
Perhaps Heaven didn't want Chu Xing, who had just enjoyed the bliss of having two wives and was still basking in the warmth of their love, to continue hiding under the covers!
"... "
It's very quiet!
There wasn't a sound at all!
Three figures dressed in black night clothes, blending into the darkness, crept along the wall of Chu Xing's villa and tiptoed into the room from the third floor!
The villa has three floors. The first floor has a living room and kitchen, Chu Xing and Rem Ram's room is on the second floor, and the third floor is a guest room prepared for Emilia!
Therefore, it's clear that this time it wasn't for Chu Xing! Well, that doesn't negate the fact that these black-clad figures wanted to enter the room from the easiest spot and then go downstairs to deal with Chu Xing!
However, no matter how careful these people were, it was useless. How could Chu Xing allow such lax security on his own turf? It's simply impossible, isn't it?
When Chu Xing first moved into the villa, he spent a lot of time drawing countless talismans in every corner of the villa. With the addition of thousands of spells, he successfully transformed the entire villa into an absolute domain!
Chu Xing would immediately recognize anyone who touched the villa. Once inside, hundreds of the thousands of spells within would be attack spells. Even a few dozen would be enough to wipe out the intruders completely, leaving not a trace. It would be as if they had never entered the villa at all!
However, Chu Xing was unusually interested today and didn't intend to let the intruders say goodbye to this world so easily! Utilizing the characteristics of the villa's domain, he flickered and disappeared from the room, arriving on the third floor…
###191. Entering the Palace###
"... "
The three assassins exchanged a silent glance. They had already seen the purpose of their infiltration of this house, which was said to be inhabited by a demonic man—Emilia!
Having the power to choose a king, the moment she arrived in this city, she was already being watched by countless eyes, many of whom naturally wanted to take the life of this chilling young girl!
Three deadly blades, capable of taking lives without a sound or movement, twirled in their hands. Their steps were unsteady yet perfectly still, as they slowly approached the sleeping Emilia on the bed!
It seemed that in the next moment, they would succeed, and Emilia, this lovely and gentle girl, would truly pass away!
brush!
Just then, a gust of wind swept behind the three men, causing them to freeze instantly. A voice then drifted from behind them: "Hey, brothers. Coming to my place so late at night, what would you like to drink? I have some really sweet hot soy milk!"
"... "
The three of them exchanged another silent glance. When they came to this villa, they had naturally done their homework and knew exactly who the person behind them was!
Gripping their blades tightly, the three assassins whirled around at the same moment, unleashing a powerful, all-out stab!
when!
It actually hit the mark!
But isn't there something wrong with this sound?
It was like the sound of a knife striking a large bell, deep and solid, making the three people's all-out attack seem like a joke! It couldn't even create a ripple.
Under the horrified and desperate gazes of the three assassins, Chu Xing casually flicked away the blades from his body and said with a smile, "Stop with the formalities. This villa is my territory. Whatever you do in there won't have any effect. So, are you going to tell me yourselves, or should I take you to a small dark room to chat and you can talk later?"
"... "
The three remained silent, their lips moved slightly, and they let out an abnormal soft groan!
"Ok?"
Chu Xing keenly sensed something was wrong, and then, seeing the expressions in the three people's eyes, he exclaimed in surprise, "You guys have poison in your mouths! It can't be that serious, it can't be that serious! It's just answering a question, you don't have to be so suicidal! And what are you thinking, that you can just die whenever you want in my domain?"
Chu Xing shook his head, casually swiped his hand in the air a few times, pausing time for the three assassins! Thus, the poison could no longer take effect!
"you--"
The assassin, realizing the poison in his mouth wasn't spreading and he was still alive, immediately lost his composure. This was inhumane and anti-scientific! They wouldn't even let someone die if they wanted to!
"What do you mean 'you'? Don't disturb Leah, or you three will die ten thousand times and be tortured forever, and there's no way to make up for it." Chu Xing said these cruel words with a smile.
"... "
The three assassins were so frightened that they obediently kept quiet!
Chu Xing nodded in satisfaction, then snapped his fingers, and led the three assassins out of the room to the villa's basement.
...
As a sliver of light appeared on the horizon!
Chu Xing used a soul-searching magic to meticulously search through all the memories of the three assassins, spending several hours analyzing them completely! He also determined who was behind this assassination attempt!
"Ugh."
Chu Xing gazed at the pillars where the three assassins had been bound, now dissolved into molecular structures and drifting in the air, and sighed deeply. This was truly annoying; a few more lives had been lost in what should have been a beautiful villa!
Indeed, there is no such thing as beauty in this world, or rather, there is no such thing as beauty in any world!
Chu Xing shook his head, instantly teleported back to the room where he was supposed to be lying, and held the two still-sleeping girls in his arms, muttering to himself, "Only when I'm holding my girls can I feel the warmth of the world!"
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Xing finally managed to fall asleep again, only to be mercilessly dragged out of bed by Rem, who was up making breakfast! She had no idea what Chu Xing had been doing last night. Normally, her sleep was rather light, and she would wake up at the slightest sound. But when she was next to Chu Xing, the Rem and Ram sisters slept very soundly, as if Chu Xing was their greatest protection, giving them a sense of security and eliminating the need to be on edge to guard against any possible changes!
Okay, okay!
Even though Chu Xing was exhausted, Emilia still had to participate in the royal selection. Although he didn't care at all whether Emilia was selected or not, it was better for her to have a chance. He couldn't keep her by his side forever! Otherwise, it would easily make the child rebellious!
Well, although Rem and Ram have always been very well-behaved and sensible, never causing him any trouble, Emilia can't be compared to Rem and Ram, can she?
After breakfast, Roswaal arrived at the villa and took Emilia to the palace!
This made Emilia increasingly flustered, because she had just learned that hundreds of people were registering when she touched a stone, and there were hundreds more people watching. It was the first time she had been watched by so many eyes, so it was no wonder that she felt flustered!
However, Emilia is not a person lacking courage; she still has an adventurous spirit when it comes to things she has never tried before!
Chu Xing could naturally see what Emilia, whom he had raised, was thinking. He reached out and took her hand, giving Emilia a sense of reassurance.
As it turns out, this method works quite well!
The moment Emilia's small hand was grasped, her breathing became much calmer, and as she looked at Chu Xing, the panic in her eyes gradually diminished!
In this girl's worldview, Chu Xing is both an older brother and a teacher to her. Having someone by her side to encourage her does indeed help Emilia calm down a lot!
"Let's go!"
