The Lion King nodded slightly, acknowledging the judgment of his lifelong friend.

Among a group of humanoid creatures, only these four resemble the lion king's children, rather than a few stray cats on the roadside.

Although Thiago was publicly rebuked, it still comes down to this: considering the behavior of his brothers, who all seemed like patients in a mental hospital, he really wasn't that extraordinary.

French fries poked Jiang Heyi in the waist.

"How do I feel..."

Jiang Heyi immediately replied, "Your feeling is correct."

The next phase of the story is about to unfold.

Establish an heir!

With Kurien getting old, the selection of the future emperor of Anna is of paramount importance.

Before the boundary between the real and the virtual emerged, the two must have discussed this topic countless times in private. It was precisely because they were unable to make up their minds that the nobles in the country were in such a radical and chaotic state.

With the future uncertain and people's hearts unsettled, a speculative mentality permeates this group of shrewd individuals.

Upon closer examination, it's not hard to understand how the plot has progressed to this point.

Even if the boundary between the virtual and real worlds can be successfully repaired in Anna's vicious cycle, and the world returns to normal and operates along its normal trajectory, it will still be unable to bypass the behemoth that is the Empire.

In order for all parties whose fates are intertwined with the empire to land safely, they too must make their own choices.

As Kurien said, what is suitable is the best.

Who is the most suitable to define the boundary between reality and illusion, and also the most suitable new king for Anna?

The people at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds aren't being modest; they're just a bunch of gamers. How could they possibly have the opportunity to participate in deciding the future trajectory and fate of an empire?

But Curryn and Wick seemed to think highly of them, and their willingness to talk about it at length was a form of tacit approval.

The moment Mad Wolf Knife was given away, it meant they had earned the right to participate.

"Although there's a nearly ten-year age gap, we're still young people. We should meet up and chat sometime. I'm very interested in your opinions."

Hesitantly, Orange Tea raised her hand.

Who is the wolf queen's child?

"Uh...it's not important, but I might as well tell you, Third Prince and Fifth Prince."

Wow, it's hard to imagine that the gentle and refined Prince Sloan's younger brother was actually a source of chaos...

Are they really born from the same mother?

Chapter 413 Returning to the Scene

The story then moves forward to palace secrets and the controversy surrounding the succession.

Unlike the contest between Renee and Mint, which has a clear and well-defined plot and allows you to see the outcome of the match at a glance.

If the rewards are still a large amount of experience and gold-level drops, their appeal to the current boundary between the virtual and real worlds is already somewhat diminished.

It's highly unlikely that any guild would have almost everyone in gold gear, the main DPS character gleaming with rainbow light, members wielding three avatars, and all their main skills fully upgraded by this point in the normal storyline.

Jiang Heyi believes that even in the era of level 20 before the level cap was raised to 50, the gap between the virtual and real worlds and that between many players of the same level was like that between the Trisolarans and cavemen.

If we're talking about operation and experience, it would probably be the Trisolarans and Paramecia.

"Leave the mountain?"

French Fries tilted his head, his hair falling down, half-covering his face.

Jiang Heyi smiled and helped her straighten her hair: "Then let's go down the mountain."

"Sigh, when will Squid learn even a fraction of what you've got? He's a married man, and he doesn't even know how to do these little tricks. Doesn't he know how to make a girl's heart race? He needs some education from Kashyapa."

The married man, Cuttlefish, was very passive in this new relationship. It wasn't that he was being perfunctory or that he had no feelings; it was simply that the bed was too enthusiastic and active, making him seem very dull.

Making fun of his clumsiness became a daily hobby in bed.

She ties her hair into a ponytail and dangles it around his nose, like teasing a cat; this has become a daily routine for them while living together.

The bed generously shared this funny story, and the fries started to imitate it.

Before the daily star-studded event begins, they always gather together to play a two-player game on the room's large screen.

During the brief loading times of the game, the strands of French fries tickled Jiang Heyibo's neck, making him feel hot all over.

The process is like copying a game guide. If your guide is good, I can optimize it and make it my own. If the feedback in practice is good, I can pass it on to the next person.

Jiang Heyi sometimes wonders if so-called dating skills are based on a similar atmosphere.

Having decided to return to the martial arts world, I no longer linger on the plot.

However, before leaving the palace, he ran into Prince Sloan, who was rushing over.

This man, who is just about to turn 30, is at a crucial juncture in his life, full of energy and vitality.

Whether it was their first meeting in the Falling Star Sea or their conversation while teasing the nobles, they both left a good impression on the boundary between the virtual and the real.

He bowed respectfully to Wick, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with a smile at the boundary between reality and illusion, he wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

Outside the door, he tidied his clothes and appearance, and adjusted his breathing before carefully accompanying her into the study.

Wick told everyone that whenever his younger brother Enrique did something wrong, he was always the one to apologize on his behalf.

The prison guard was somewhat moved.

"She looks a lot like my brother."

At home, he was always that unreliable and infuriating brat.

When I was a child, if I made a mistake, my older brother would always protect me and plead for me, which saved me from a beating.

As he grew up, he scrimped and saved to buy figurines and in-game purchases, sometimes to the point of starvation. It was only through his older brother's secret financial control at home that he received some financial assistance.

Even though his parents seemed to favor him a little, the prison guard never felt resentful.

After all, he sometimes wanted to travel back in time and slap himself twice.

"Serves my brother right for being better off than me." Watching Prince Sloan's retreating figure, the jailer muttered, "I hope your bastard brother can understand you."

As soon as they returned to the guild, the doll Garlic Sprout and Ksha appeared before them.

"Eleravi instructed that if he returns, he should go to the workshop immediately."

They exchanged smiles, then reluctantly rummaged through their backpacks and put the valuables together.

Having experienced two large-scale explosions and witnessed Elera's astonishing feat of using materials to blow up the furnace and repel the enemy, the workshop deep in the mine has become a forbidden area that guild NPCs avoid.

The crystals left from the explosion grew wildly around the workshop like blooming flower clusters. It was visibly that the workshop was slightly lower than the surrounding area—it had been bombed twice, which was quite remarkable.

The workshop was semi-open-air, with the furnace and forging table located outdoors.

Some fine, half-mined crystal powder suggests that Elaeva may have been trying to multitask and make some small items after the furnace exploded.

The open-air workshop was deserted; the dangerous and surging magic power used to refine the Origin Elements had vanished without a trace, and Eleravia did not come out to greet them.

Suspicious, Jiang Heyi gently knocked on the door of the small wooden house she had built for him. After a long time without any response, he pushed it open.

"Sigh...it's not off."

Orange Tea squinted curiously, then was startled and pushed the door open forcefully.

Elaevi lay face down on the ground, with several half-eaten apples scattered around her.

Everyone was taken aback, but then they frowned.

Although it looks like a murder scene, who would come here to assassinate a ninth-tier dragon?

I've heard of sliding tigers, sliding dragons... I bet Ailera's true form can eat from day to night without ever burping, right?

Out of professional medical instinct, Orange Tea quickly assessed vital signs and summoned her spirit, adopting a posture of readiness to engage in battle at any moment.

"He... just fell asleep."

The gecko's sleeping posture, resembling that of someone climbing a mountain, is unrestrained and free.

It emerges on the body surface during sleep, its shimmering dark red scales alluring and beautiful.

In addition, Elera's human form is naturally graceful, and although her sleeping posture is terrible, she unexpectedly received the jailer's approval that she was "worth drawing".

A noble ninth-rank being shouldn't appear so defenseless while sleeping. Is it because the boundary between reality and illusion is too secure?

Amidst the rustling sounds, Eleravie struggled to open her eyes. The shameful dragon was displaying an embarrassing sleeping posture, and one would expect her to be a little shy. But instead, she simply rolled over, curled her tail in front of her, and hugged it with her hands.

"I've finished refining the item..."

"Go to sleep, don't make a sound..."

"If you keep making noise, I'll roast you all alive."

What a completely ineffective threat... Hiss, it's been completed?

They rushed impatiently to the forging furnace, where a sphere radiating a seven-colored glow floated silently in the smoldering fire.

Feeding him more than ten of the game's top-tier materials, and repeatedly bombarding him with them, forced a ninth-tier dragon to wear the shameful title of dragon and sign a contract of servitude.

The Origin Element set is almost ready to be completed!

"Go on."

Jiang Heyi nudged him, and the jailer realized that his name was already written on this piece of equipment.

The entire guild has entered an era where only gold outfits are worn, except for him and Orange Tea, who are still wearing the purple sets they salvaged during the Clear Ones campaign.

The community forums have even spawned discussions on topics such as "the status of guilds within the virtual-real boundary based on the allocation of equipment resources."

And "Does the fact that Orange Tea and Jailer Bro can only wear purple outfits indicate discord within the team?"

This has led to a constant stream of mini-dramas about "discord within the team at the boundary between reality and illusion," almost becoming a recurring theme.

Sometimes Jiang Heyi couldn't understand the thought processes of this group of people.

If a guild can dominate the rankings and firmly claim the title of T0 guild despite numerous contradictions between the virtual and real worlds, does that mean that all gamers in the world are useless?

If their conflicts can sweep away everything, then Jiang Heyi declares that the united boundary between the virtual and real worlds will become the concept god of the gaming world.

"How about we bring the orange tea first?"

"You're even being modest now!"

Zhong Zemo pressed his hand down and put it into the fire.

If a snapshot were taken at this moment, the disharmony within the team at the boundary between reality and illusion would be the strongest evidence.

【Origin Element - Water】 is designed as a giant water person, and doesn't look like a piece of equipment that can be worn.

"The power of the origin of all elements is gathered here."

"The water is turbulent, and the sound of waves is deafening."

"Holder, listen closely, for this echo comes from the elemental realm!"

Similar to [Call the Tide], it grants three fixed blessings plus one optional blessing.

High-level Water Elemental Protection: Water elemental magic is difficult to damage you, and you have a chance to absorb elemental power and form a shield after being hit.

Elemental Nourishment: The power of the water element is enriched by you. Allies within your range will enjoy a boost to the power of water magic, an increase in the stealth speed of water magic, and a 50% reduction in the cost of water magic.

Clear Water Curtain: Consumes mana to create a water elemental barrier, providing a "slow healing" effect to all members within range, including the caster. During its duration, it repairs shields, heals injuries, and reduces the duration of negative status effects.

No wonder the Arelave set kept exploding; it truly deserves to be the top-tier set in the game.

If Tidecaller leans towards offense, then Origin Element: Water maximizes functionality and defense.

With elemental nourishment, a clear water curtain, and Golia's Golden Holy Word spell, Jiang Heyi could imagine Zhong Zemo, fully empowered, wielding a giant shield to clear a path, and the monsters retreating in despair.

"Squeak~~"

A dark red phantom appeared near the door.

Aileravi's eyelids were drooping, and she wiped a little water from her palms onto her face, forcing herself to stand up straight.

She gulped down two mouthfuls of tea, swayed over to the suit, and pointed to the fist-sized heart of the water man.

"Origin Elements is a complete set of equipment. By changing the elemental core, you can obtain different effects."

This time it was Zhong Zemo's turn to get excited.

"Changing the core allows you to change the form; that sounds just like Kamen Rider!"
