"But...why didn't he show up?" Lu Ye asked. "Or has he already returned to the capital? If it's the latter, then things will be more difficult with the army, won't they?"
“Gevrey is a born warrior. He should have returned to the borderlands long ago, waiting for someone to come before the throne. In fact, he is not good at managing and organizing the army. Since long ago, it has been I who command the army.”
"Oh, so the couple is working together!"
"Do not speak recklessly, and do not use such a joking tone."
There was a hint of reproach in Marika's tone.
A-Tui obediently shut his mouth.
In order to become queen of the border region, Marika marries a man she doesn't know...
Outsiders are unaware of the inside story, so it's always best to remain silent.
“Alright, but the Golden Tree is also a problem, isn’t it?” Lu Ye said. “Even with a large army, if the Supreme Will can use the power of the Golden Tree through the Beast of Elden, wouldn’t it all be for nothing?”
“Therefore you must hurry,” Marika said. “The stone tablet in your hand contains the power of the Primal Life Furnace. Even if the Beast of Elden becomes powerful and forms the Golden Tree, it is still part of the law. The Golden Law will not reject forces of the same origin. If the power of the Primal Life Furnace is mixed into the law, and the latter takes effect, then the Golden Law constructed by the Elden Ring will collapse in an instant.”
Lu Ye remembered.
Bolivia seems to have said the same thing.
“Now that I have said this,” Marika’s body radiated a golden light that enveloped her, “Let’s set off for the Rhea Lucaria Magic Academy. All the troops are ready; only the mages are missing.”
"Wait, can I have the fragment?" Lu Ye said. "It's the one you got from the Golden Tree. Maybe I can use it for something else."
“It’s alright.” Marika handed over the fragments without hesitation.
When the golden light dissipated, Marika had disappeared, and what appeared before Lu Ye and A Tui were bionic teardrops.
“Let’s go,” Lu Ye said.
……
Based on the characteristics of the fragments, Lu Ye asked Xiao Bai about them and received the answers "connection" and "separation".
These are the abilities of the two fragments that have descended upon this world.
The first fragment connects the Supreme Will with the Beast of Elden.
This connection is not simply something like "communication," but rather a mutual integration.
It's as if you're on West Street, and there's a security camera in Widow Wang's house on East Street. You connect with it, and it seems to become a part of you, like a third eye.
According to Xiaobai, this kind of connection can be diverse.
It's not just the body that can be connected; consciousness, soul, and other things can also be linked.
This results in a variety of uses.
For example, Lu Ye came up with a brilliant idea.
Connecting the consciousness of an infant with that of an elderly person is a clear case of possession and creating a secondary account.
The old man died, but he connected with the consciousness of the baby. In a sense, the baby was the old man, which was equivalent to a second spring in his life.
This idea was severely criticized by Xiaobai, which also indirectly shows the feasibility of this method.
As for the second fragment...
Marika has already demonstrated how to use it, separating the soul from the body.
However, there are many things that can be separated, as detailed in Lu Ye's previous brainstorming.
"Does this mean I can sever the connection between the Golden Tree and the Supreme Will?" Lu Ye pondered this question.
A short while later, through a blessing, he and A-Tui arrived at the Great Archives.
Rena is still in an emo state.
To her right, nestled among the pile of books, lay a delicate box.
Lu Ye took the petite Lani from A Tui and, following Lani's instructions, took out an exquisite key from it.
[Obtained: The Abandoned Royal Key]
[Note: This is the key that Princess Lani of the Moon discarded along with her body. It was passed down to Princess Kalia to open a treasure chest, currently located in the Grand Archives of Rearucaria, said to be near Lani's mother, Renara.]
Looking at the key, A-Tui and Lu-Ye exchanged a glance and began to have some doubts.
What exactly is inside this box that would allow Renara to reorganize the magic academy and attack the royal city?
With a nervous heart, Lu Ye inserted the key into the keyhole of the box and then slowly opened the treasure chest.
But it was empty inside, except for an elegant ring set with dark gemstones.
But there was a circle of small words engraved on it, like a warning, forbidding anyone from taking it.
Lu Ye picked it up, after all, he had already obtained the original owner's permission.
[Obtained: Darkmoon Ring]
[Description: A large ring crafted in the image of a dark full moon. Originally, it was a cold contract ring given by the "Moon Princess" Lani to her partner. If Lani is a deity, then her partner is none other than a king.]
The ring was engraved with a warning: No one may take this item; all the loneliness beyond the night belongs only to me.
That's really... a cringeworthy statement, but it does fit Lani's personality quite well.
After all, he's the kind of person who can say things like, "You've brought shame to witch XX."
But at that moment, a look of panic appeared on A-Tui's face.
Lu Ye also noticed that something was wrong behind him.
He turned his head and saw Rena rushing towards him like a child who had seen a new and wonderful toy.
Chapter 684 Learning Dragon Thunder
When Lu Ye came out of the magic academy, his clothes were obviously a little disheveled.
Ten minutes ago, Queen Rena rushed towards him and hugged Lu Ye tightly, appearing very affectionate.
Lu Ye and A Tui were both at a loss.
Being held by a large woman, Lu Ye looked like a child.
Until Renara said something...
"Are you my son-in-law?"
Lu Ye then understood.
Renara has come to believe that she is Lani's husband.
This Darkmoon Ring was originally intended by Lani as a Cold Contract Ring to give to her partner, but Lani later decided to pursue her own laws and locked the ring inside a chest in the Grand Archives.
As the Queen of the Full Moon, Rena recognized the Dark Moon Ring in Lu Ye's hand.
Its existence is partly due to Renara's efforts.
As a mother, she naturally knew that her daughter had been chosen by Two Fingers as a divine being.
At that time, Lani had already established a connection with the moon, but being young, she was still confused and sought her mother's advice.
Rena's response was very tactful.
She made Lani outwardly compliant in exchange for the beast—the half-wolf Blazer—sent by Twofinger to monitor Lani.
Privately, she encouraged Lani to continue strengthening her connection with the moon, so that if one day she gained the power to resist the two fingers, she could freely walk on the path she wanted to take.
Rena's current emo state is not only due to Radagan's resolute departure, but also to the departure of her three children.
Even after Radagan left, Renara was not devastated, because Radagan left the Great Rune of the Unborn with her.
Rena thought she might be able to bring this child, who was never born, into the world, so she locked herself up to conduct research.
Soon after, the children had all grown up.
When Rataen set foot on the land of Galid, Rakad ascended to the volcanic mansion, and Lani chose to pursue the cold Dark Moon, Renara knew that she would hardly ever see her children again, as they would go further and further down the paths they had chosen.
And that is indeed the case.
Ratahn was consumed by the crimson corruption and became a mindless monster.
Lakad chose to voluntarily enter the body of the giant serpent in the Gemir volcano, thinking he could control it, but he was unexpectedly assimilated by it.
After orchestrating the Night of Conspiracy, Lani chose to disappear without a trace in order to evade the pursuit of the Golden Tree forces and Two Fingers.
The double blow of her children's misfortune and Radagan's departure left her devastated.
However, the moment Lu Ye took out the royal key, opened the box, and took out the Dark Moon Ring, she knew that her daughter was still active somewhere in the borderlands.
She hugged Lu Ye and pestered him with questions about Lani, wanting to know everything about Lani's daily life, even the smallest details like whether she had acne on her face. She showed a mother's love for her daughter to the fullest. She also showed great interest in Lu Ye, displaying the scrutinizing eye of a mother-in-law. She asked almost everything a mother-in-law would ask, almost wanting to check Lu Ye's background. Finally, she warmly invited Lu Ye to stay and have something to eat.
Faced with such an enthusiastic mother-in-law... oh no, I mean, Queen Full Moon, Lu Ye felt a little uneasy.
He politely declined Renara's invitation.
Firstly, time was tight, and secondly, he was embarrassed.
Why?
There wasn't really any special reason.
But I've already killed two of your three children...
It's fortunate that Renara has been staying in the Grand Archives for a long time and isn't very well-informed about the outside world, otherwise, I don't know how she would have reacted.
After informing Renara of the situation, Renara was surprised to learn that Marika was still active in the border region.
However, she didn't verify it, as it didn't really matter.
Lani's goal is the night and the stars; if she achieves her objective, the borderlands will regain their freedom.
The border regions have long suffered under the Golden Law... Everyone's goal is the same.
Therefore, she promised that when the allied forces passed through Lienia, the magic academy's forces would join without hesitation.
Meanwhile, the Black Knife assassins were already heading to other places to notify various factions and secretly gather their armies.
It is said that in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Supreme Will and Two Fingers, the Allied Forces will not use the large elevator, but will instead proceed through the secret village deep in Lienia. Lance Sanx said that there is a secret passage there that can directly reach the Altan Plateau.
Therefore, Rena will lead the mages to expand the secret passage to the Yatan Plateau using the magic of the Radiant Stone in a short period of time, and go there with the allied forces. This is also to prevent the awkward situation of the mages being watched if something unexpected happens to the allied forces and they come to the Yatan Plateau alone.
After leaving the Reyalucaria Magic Academy, Lu Ye and A Tui did not rush to burn the tree, but instead went to the Yatan Plateau.
