What exactly is going on in this duel between Miss Melson and the chief astrologer of the Elf Kingdom?

Normally, shouldn't this battle be a clash between the most technologically advanced magical artifacts and the most ancient and exquisite magic? But one of them didn't use a magical artifact, and the other didn't use magic either. They just stared at each other for half an hour, and then the battle ended, or one of them died completely?

This is completely abnormal. How could someone die so quickly in a battle of this level? Usually, shouldn't the battle last for three days and three nights, ending with one side uttering a few harsh words and running away? Previous battles between strong individuals have been pretty much like this, unless the two sides have such deep hatred that they are determined to fight to the death.

I don't understand... I really don't understand!

Most of the powerful figures from the Federation who came to watch said they couldn't understand it, but as the saying goes, some people could understand it.

For example, the elders of the Lohid family had observed Amelie for a long time and even exchanged cultivation insights with her. By then, they had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

It's hard for old people not to like bragging; it's the same in any world.

At this opportune moment to show off, it would be a shame if the old men didn't. At this point, one of them, Lord Lohid, who specialized in wind magic, chuckled and spoke first:

"That elf astrologer was killed by Ellie after her magic was exhausted. The two of them did not simply look at each other, but fought a battle of fate."

"A battle of fate? What exactly happened? Old man, please tell us more!"

As soon as the other powerful figures heard that someone had understood, they immediately gathered around.

The old man, Lohid, clearly enjoyed being the center of attention. He stroked his beard and basked in his own pride before explaining in detail:

“Little Ellie trained at our family’s magic academy for a period of time. Those of you who are well-informed should already know that, right? It was during that time that she gained new insights into magic, enabling her to interfere with fate at the level of rules, accelerate the death of all things, and usher in the end of the world ahead of time.”

"It involves the ability to manipulate rules? Old man, are you kidding me?"

Immediately, a female mage cried out in alarm:

"Isn't this kind of magic only something a great mage like you, who has studied a spell for hundreds of years, could master? That young lady can do it too? How old is she? My goodness..."

"..."

Even the old man, Lohid, paused for a moment before saying meaningfully:

"The average human's magical talent is not high, far inferior to that of elves, sea creatures, and even many magical beasts."

"But our human magical talent is only averagely low. There are beings like magic rejecters at the lower limit, and as for the upper limit... hmph."

"In short, isn't this how it is throughout human history? Every now and then, a truly brilliant person will appear, like the bright moon in the sky that makes the stars pale in comparison. In front of such a person, even the geniuses that ordinary people talk about are nothing more than candlelight."

"And the bright moon hanging high in the Federation's night sky now is undoubtedly Little Ellie... Anyway, I, the old man, have long been completely convinced of her talent. Even if one day she suddenly claims to have become the world's first Ascension Stage powerhouse, I probably wouldn't be too surprised."

"Yes, yes, we all know that Miss Melson is a super genius, so please continue to tell us about her duel with that elf astrologer."

Someone impatiently urged again:

How exactly did the two of them compete?

"Well..."

Old Mr. Lohid thought for a moment before saying:

"Based on my observation and speculation, it seems that Ellie used her new trick to lock the fate of the elven astrologer as death, and the elven astrologer sensed this fate and wanted to change it through her prophetic magic."

"One of them has their fate locked in, while the other changes it. Their struggle is entirely within the realm of time, which is naturally impossible for us to observe in three-dimensional space. Therefore, we can only see them staring at each other."

"And this struggle between locking onto fate and changing fate will ultimately become a contest of magic consumption, and the magic consumption involving fate and the future will definitely be huge."

"Little Ellie is already a fusion-stage mage with two fusion organs. Her magic reserves and recovery speed are definitely higher than most archmages. So the final result of the battle was that the elven astrologer ran out of magic and was killed by Little Ellie."

"Of course, all of the above are my own understandings, and they may not be correct."

The old man, Lohid, even added a humble remark at the end.

"No, Mr. Carl, you're absolutely right. That's pretty much how I killed her."

Unexpectedly, Emerald had already dealt with the situation and personally joined the conversation among the onlookers. Her tone was quite relaxed, not at all like someone who had just fought a powerful enemy.

"Greetings, Miss."

"Greetings, young lady... I am..."

"Hi, Emery, it's nice to see you again. I didn't expect you to be so strong now."

The powerful figures from the Federation who were watching also greeted Amelie. Now they no longer dared to treat Amelie as just a junior. Many of them even spoke with respect. From this moment on, the title of "Young Lady of the Federation" was truly well-deserved. Even the high and mighty third-stage powerhouses now had to call Amelie "Young Lady".

In fact, sometimes social interactions among the strong are quite simple and unpretentious. The stronger are respected, and youth and seniority are not very meaningful. It would be better to say that you are hundreds of years older than someone but not stronger than them, as this would only make you a laughing stock.

Emerald greeted all the powerful figures from the Federation present and made many new friends. Most of them were members of the Lohid Club, and some had even met Emerald before in the club and cooperated with her—for example, Barbara, who had also come to watch the excitement.

"Oh, right."

After exchanging greetings, Emerald revealed her true purpose:

"The elven terrorist I just killed was none other than Nayudanda Star Orbit, the chief astrologer of the Elven Royal Court. She is no small figure. If there are any diplomatic issues with the Elven race in the future, I hope you can all testify that I had no choice but to kill her to protect the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in Locke City."

"No problem, Miss."

"Yes, yes, we all saw it. It was that elf who made the first move. She wanted to destroy the teleportation array and kill the delegation from Shangying Kingdom. The young lady was just acting in self-defense."

"That's right, that's right. After something like this happened, we're already being lenient by not holding the elves accountable. Why would they dare to hold us accountable? We're all willing to testify for Miss!"

The powerful figures watching naturally responded enthusiastically and readily agreed.

They might have initially thought of just watching the show and not getting involved, but after witnessing Emeryte's current strength, their thoughts changed.

This young lady was already someone the Federation couldn't afford to offend, and now she's even more unapproachable. Don't miss the chance to build a good relationship with her; it's just a matter of testifying, it's not troublesome at all.

After receiving the promises from the group of powerful figures, Amelie nodded in satisfaction, and then invited them to have a meal at a branch of Drunken Red Pavilion before leaving.

Most of the powerful figures didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the invitation to stay at Zuihonglou for a meal. Some of the more enthusiastic ones even ordered two beautiful women in palace attire to serve them, so they could enjoy themselves to the fullest.

One of the younger fusion-stage mages was almost completely bewitched by two beautiful women from the Netherworld Cult, revealing a great deal of valuable information.

Emery no longer needs to worry about these details; Marcy and Sulina, as her maid and assistant, can handle them very well.

Emery was more focused on her insights and takeaways from today's battle.

In her duel with Nayudanda, Amelite won so easily not only because her own strength had indeed improved a lot, but also because she unilaterally restrained her opponent and used psychological tactics, which were things that even the old man Karl of Lohid failed to see.

The battle between the two was indeed a battle of fate. Nayudanda had always wanted to change her fate of being killed by Emerald, but she was ultimately defeated and died from exhaustion of magic.

But Emerald shouldn't have won so easily, or rather, even if it were someone else with the same strength as Emerald, they wouldn't have won so easily.

It was Amelie's two qualities—being a transmigrator unaffected by fate and being favored by destiny—that allowed her to completely subdue Nayudanda.

If Amelite's magic power is effective at 7 points when she attacks by exploiting the rule that all things must die, then Nayudanda's magic power is at least 5 points. The difference between the two is not actually that great.

Unfortunately, Nayudanda used all her magic power on prophetic magic during the battle, and the ability to interfere with fate was completely ineffective against Emerald. This reduced Nayudanda's magic power efficiency from at least 5 to 1, meaning she needed to consume 7 times more magic power to defend against Emerald's attack.

A mage in the fusion stage already has 30% to 50% more magic power reserves and output power than a grand mage of the same level. Now, there is a difference of about 7 times in magic power efficiency. Of course, Nayudanda can only suffer a crushing defeat.

In fact, if Nayudanda completely abandoned her most proficient prophetic magic and instead used powerful elemental magic to fight to the death, she would still have a good chance of escaping. After all, this place is really close to Locke City, and Amelie will definitely choose to prioritize protecting the city.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Nayudanda's prophetic magic was very powerful, which made her overly reliant on it after mastering it. Her focus was always on the future, and before she even used elemental magic to fight desperately, she had already foreseen her defeat. So she desperately tried to change her fate, but ended up wasting a lot of magic power and ultimately dying.

Just as Viliana had advised Emerald, Nayudanda had become too reliant on prophetic magic and had forgotten how to properly use and defend against psychological tactics. As a result, she was easily outmaneuvered by Emerald and died like a nobody despite being a powerful figure comparable to Machira.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Emery, the victor.

Even the best swimmers can drown, and Nayudanda, who had interfered with fate for hundreds of years, died by fate. The truly deadly risks often lie in the areas where people excel.

Emerald felt as if she had suddenly woken up. She realized that after successfully establishing her concept of magic, she had become a bit arrogant and relied too much on it during battles. For example, she didn't even put on her magical armor during this battle, which clearly showed that she was extremely confident.

This is bad; we must not make the same mistake as Nayudanda!

Emerald was not overjoyed by her easy victory. Instead, she refused the girls' offer to celebrate with her and went to the meditation room to reflect on herself and adjust her mindset.

. . . . .

The delegation from Shangying Kingdom quickly stepped back into the portal and returned home. Rin Amamiya did not stay behind but went back with them.

After all, the claim that Rin Amamiya wanted to stay a few more days was just one of the baits used to lure Nayudanda into taking the bait. Now that the bait has been caught, Rin Amamiya naturally has no need to stay any longer.

Anyway, transportation between the two countries is very convenient now, so Rin Amamiya can come and play whenever she wants. She has been having a great time for more than half a month, and it's time for her to go back to continue her studies.

The negotiations between the Allen Federation and the Shangying Kingdom went very smoothly, with the two sides signing numerous trade agreements, including a large number of arms sales, which will allow the Merson family to make another fortune.

With the idea of ​​squeezing the sheep that's about to die, the Melson family didn't manufacture the products for this arms sale themselves. Instead, they used the arms sale agreement to borrow a large sum of money from the Ise Group, almost completely emptying the Ise Group's cash reserves.

The Melson family has now become the largest debtor of the Ise Retsu Group. According to the plans of several core members of the family, the Ise Retsu Group is bound to run into trouble... The Melson family has signed very high interest rates for these loans, and they will suffer a great loss if they repay the money according to the contract.

On the other hand, after news of Nayudanda Star Orbit spread, the Elven race did indeed hold a diplomatic meeting with the Allen Federation very quickly.

The elves initially intended to hold them accountable, but the Federation was prepared. The eyewitness testimonies of dozens of third-stage powerhouses confirmed Nayudanda's identity as a terrorist. The Federation diplomats not only easily defused the elf diplomats' offensive but also turned around and questioned the elves.

The elves were quickly defeated in the diplomatic talks. In the end, in order to preserve their so-called eternal glory, they had no choice but to sever ties with Nayudanda at lightning speed, loudly praising Amelite for her good deed and calling her a hero who protected the peace between the two races.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, finalizing the nature of the matter. Then, taking advantage of this major diplomatic meeting, they also finalized another matter that had been under discussion for the past two years but had not been resolved.

In short, this means that all the elf girls working in the Federation's brothels and the strong young humans serving wealthy women in the Elf Kingdom can now have legal and official identities.

The two countries have signed a formal labor dispatch agreement, allowing residents of both countries to work in each other's countries and be protected by local labor laws.

The sex industry is a legal industry in the Allen Federation. The girls working in sex shops even have medical and social insurance. Now, the elf girls in the shops can also have the same treatment as human girls.

Meanwhile, the human young men who used to serve wealthy women in the elven kingdom have now obtained servant status recognized by the elven royal court, which provides them with a certain degree of security.

Although as servants they still have to obey their masters unconditionally, at least these young human men won't be easily played to death or ruined by the rich elven women. Otherwise, their masters would not only be fined but also lose face.

With the introduction of this policy, the elven slave-hunting teams were completely out of a job, because now they no longer needed to capture elven beauties to sell to the Federation; they could simply recruit them with money.

After all, given the nature of elves, for the vast majority of them, working in brothels in human kingdoms is not a humiliation or suffering, but rather a comfortable and lucrative job, far better than being a village girl in the elven kingdom.

The only business under Amelie's name that wasn't entirely clean was now completely cleaned up. Baihe Shipping was transformed into Baihe Labor Service Company, which could recruit many beautiful elven women from the Elf Kingdom every day to voluntarily sign labor contracts to work in the Federation.

The same applies to Locke City. Anyone who comes to Locke City to cause trouble and disrupt order will be forced to sign a labor contract after being caught, and will go to the Elf Kingdom to serve as a servant to beautiful and wealthy women.

. . . . .

Time flew by, and soon it was the last month of summer.

Amelie has already obtained Shasha, but she has not yet taken action against the Ise Rei Foundation for one important reason: the Federation is currently in the midst of an election, which is already unstable, and causing further chaos could easily lead to unexpected changes.

Therefore, Emerald's plan was to wait until the new president took office and everything was stable before taking action against the Ise Regimental Foundation in late autumn or early winter.

Regarding the election, the Melson and Lohid families rarely interfered, basically letting the politicians play by their own rules... Anyway, whoever becomes president in the end will have to pay their respects to Melson and Lohid first, and will also have to report to both families at the end of the year, so it doesn't matter.

This year's election should have been the same: letting a group of politicians skilled in rhetoric play political games, ultimately deciding on the strongest to swear allegiance to the true masters of the Union.

However, the reality is that this year, she has interfered extensively in the election, and the candidate she is currently controlling has gained a huge advantage. If nothing unexpected happens, even if champagne is poured at halftime, it will not be able to shake his victory in the slightest.

In reality, this kind of thing wouldn't matter, because the Melson and Lohid families don't care who the Grand Commander is. If he doesn't do a good job, they can replace him at any time... As long as you are obedient and capable, it doesn't matter if you rise to power with the help of an outsider like Rei.

The only problem is that she was so focused on the election that she became extremely busy, and even when Emery invited her to visit the Locke City branch several times, she politely declined.

This affected Emerald's plans—Emerald intended to personally cultivate a good relationship with Rei and then find out the secret between Rei and Daozu, but now Rei is busy with work and has no time to make plans with her.

Of course, given Emerald's status, if she were to act a little tougher, Rei would definitely still obediently come to the appointment. However, that would make it seem like Emerald values ​​Rei a lot, which would be detrimental to their future confrontation.

What Emerald needs is for Rei to ask her for a favor, so that she can get to know Rei better.

However, everything is going very smoothly for Lian now, and there is nothing she needs to ask Emerald for help with.

So what to do? Of course, we'll create trouble where there isn't any. Emerald plans to make things more difficult for Rei's interference in the election, forcing Rei to come to her for help.

In this matter, there is one person who is most suitable to step in.

Therefore, Emerald quickly established magical communication with the distant other side of the White Sea:

"Hi, Brother Yak, have you been having fun with Sister Kerry lately? There are lots of interesting things in Shangying Country, and lots of delicious snacks, right?"

After a few casual words of small talk, Emery finally got to the point:

"Now that you and Sister Kerry have had enough fun, come back. There's something I need your help with, and you can also cause some trouble for Rei and get some revenge."

"Emerite, are you planning to make a move against Rei?"

Yak's voice trembled at first, then he cautiously said:

"But didn't you say that Lian has a super strong person behind her who is comparable to the Elf Queen, and that we absolutely cannot act rashly?"

"correct."

Emery's smile remained unchanged:

"So the only person who will be going against Rei this time and increase her strength is you, Ark-nii. As for me, I want Rei to come to me for help after she suffers a loss."

"I see……"

Ark then realized:

“I understand what you mean, sister Emerald. You want to use me as external pressure to force Lian to ask you for help, and then you can take the opportunity to get on her good side and find out her secrets, right?”
