Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Bawan Xi is not good at close combat and can only rely on magic to strengthen his body, dodge fatal attacks, and use magic to counterattack.

Bawan Xi, who lacked experience in fighting goblins and was kind-hearted, lacked the power to kill in his attacks.

The fairies, realizing this, attacked more recklessly.

She was accidentally cut on the shoulder during the fight and had to cover the wound while continuing to fight back with magic.

The fairy who first mocked Bawan Xi was hit by her magic bullet when trying to give her a fatal blow, and crashed into her companion and flew out.

Next is——

Bawan Xi turned around to look for the next target, but a cold stinging pain came from his back. Bawan Xi felt that the loss of physical strength was further accelerated as he lost blood.

A dagger pierced her chest from behind. It was a fang fairy, extremely agile.

Seeing their companion seize the opportunity and successfully attack from behind, the other fairies also planned to rush up to finish him off.

Only the fairy who pierced Bawan Xi's heart suddenly noticed that the hilt of the sword was vibrating subtly.

"...Don't even think about it!"

Gathering his magical power, Bawan Xi used the dagger that pierced his heart and his own blood as a medium to launch a range-type fierce wind magic.

Whether it was the fairies that attacked her or those that had already fallen, they were all torn into pieces by the magic that she had no strength to control.

More trees collapsed.

Bawan Xi squeezed out the remaining strength to fight back, but also fell to the ground, and the magic book fell to the side.

Her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, and she could no longer tell whether it was the darkness of the forest surrounding her or the fact that she had lost her sight.

After groping around, Bawan Xi found the magic book and felt a little relieved.

He immediately realized that he couldn't just give up.

"We must tell this story quickly..."

She straightened up, blood welling up in her throat.

I tried my best to cover my mouth, but still couldn't.

Dragging his limp body, Bawan Xi climbed up from the ground and staggered towards the gate of Londinium.

But after taking just two steps, his legs fell to his knees uncontrollably and he could no longer support his body.

"Why... can't I stand up..."

Her tears slid down her cheeks, mixed with the blood from the corner of her mouth, and dripped onto the ground.

With a low growl coming out of his throat, Bawan Xi put all his strength into standing up with his shaky body.

Take a step forward.

Bawan Xi had to hint to herself in her heart and even tried to use magic to drive her body.

However, her "core" as a fairy was destroyed, and no matter what she did, it was in vain. She couldn't even hold the magic book.

Take a step forward!

Finally taking another step, she felt something inside her body shatter, like ice crystals falling to the ground.

The body fell forward, and this time it was caught softly.

"Bawan Xi?!" Ash's voice.

"Hurry, let her lie down." Xijian's voice.

"...I'm sorry... Mr. Sage, Ms. Witch... I've made you worry about me again..." She raised her hand, but Jian held it firmly. "Someone... is trying to murder the new king..."

Bawan Xi lost no time in sharing the information he had gathered.

"Don't talk anymore. The fact that you've been treated like this already proves the problem." Xi Jian also held her hand. "You have tried your best, Bawan Xi. It's me who came too late."

He and Jian used Bawan Xi's hair as a medium to create a perception spell. As long as Bawan Xi was in danger of life, they would be able to sense it and rush to the scene as quickly as possible.

But... ideals always lag behind reality.

"...I'm sorry...I can't serve you two anymore...I hope to have a better secretary in the future..."

Bawan Shi's voice grew weaker and weaker. She knew that it was only a matter of time before her life was over, and she said goodbye to them calmly.

"No, maybe there is still a way." Shiomi said.

"But your power is incomplete, unable to interfere with the life and death of fairies who exist like planetary terminals. That's why you thought of using a technique to compensate for your injuries to protect me." Jian hurriedly confirmed his meaning. "Can you finally do it now?"

Shiomi's hand covered Bawan Xi's wound.

"Her life as a fairy is about to end. What I intend to do now is to interfere with the process of fairies being reborn elsewhere as the next generation after their death."

"what do you mean?"

"Let her be reborn not as an ordinary fairy, but as a special fairy that carries the blood of you and me." Shiomi said, "A retrospection and reconstruction of life."

"My blood?" Jian was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly, looking sadly at Bawan Xi in his arms, "Then do it quickly. Whether it's blood or life, I can give it to her."

Bhavan Shi wants to say please don’t be sad for me, I am not worthy of your sadness.

"But if she does that, she will be reborn as a baby, grow up slowly, and forget everything she has experienced with us so far." Shiomi said solemnly.

"...That's better than losing her." Jian pursed his lips tightly.

"Yes." Xi Jian agreed firmly, and then whispered to Bawan Xi, "Are you willing to be the daughter of me and Zhi?"

Even though it wasn't strictly speaking someone's child, after mixing with their blood, it turned into a fairy baby that could grow up, and was raised and cared for by them, and indeed became their child.

"...I...am...impressed..."

Bawan Xi, whose consciousness was already hazy, tried to answer them with the last bit of his will.

No matter what that meant, no matter if I would even remember them.

Rather than being reborn somewhere as the "next generation", she would rather be reborn beside them and follow them from the beginning.

"So--"

Xijian stretched out his hand and pressed his palm against Zhao's. Their blood flowed out from their cut palms and blended together through magic.

"Sea of ​​Life, primordial goddess, mother of all life born from our planet, Tiamat. As the twelfth child of your mother, I pray to you for the power to nurture life, so that this kind being will no longer suffer unwarranted disaster and pain."

He whispered a prayer to the goddess Tiamat, merging his power with the blood that had mingled and remained suspended in the air.

Shiomi was not entirely sure whether her mother would agree.

But he still prayed to his mother with a pious heart.

Jian also lowered his eyes, looking at Bawan Xi who had her eyes closed, and prayed in his heart following Xi Jian's voice.

The blood gradually turned into light, sank into Bawan Xi's body bit by bit, then spread to her limbs, and finally covered her entire body.

Bawan Xi's body shrank little by little in the light, and her torn robe fell off.

When the light faded again, a baby girl with red hair appeared and fell asleep.

Shiomi grabbed the falling clothes, used magic to adjust them into swaddling clothes, and held up Bawan Xi, who had transformed into a baby girl.

"Successful?" Jian looked at Bawan Xi with a little surprise and a little sadness.

"But it's not completely stable yet and needs us to take good care of it." Xijian said softly.

"This is... our child?" Jian felt a little strange and she really wanted to hug the child.

Sensing her thoughts, Shiomi handed Bawan Xi to Ash and taught her how to hold her more steadily.

"But before that, there are still some things that need to be dealt with."

His voice turned cold, filled with bleak murderous intent.

Then he raised his hand, and the flock of crows turned into a whirlwind, carrying them away into the forest.

Chapter 1: Night of the Long Knives ()

"This is really... enough..."

Even Grimm, who had witnessed countless blood, immediately guessed what was going on when he saw the sleeping face of the baby girl held in Ash's arms and protected by magic.

"In any case, doing this doesn't mean that Bawan Xi has saved her life. It simply interferes with her rebirth as a next-generation fairy." Shiomi flicked his sleeve lightly. "Whether it's for revenge or for other reasons, this coronation ceremony is meaningless."

Grimm frowned slightly. "What are you going to do? Cancel?"

"No, in this situation, even if we want to cancel, it's not that easy." Xijian looked indifferently at the other three companions in the room, "Since they feel unhappy, then let them satisfy us."

"How could this be... We obviously spent so much time and effort to make new clothes for Jian." Teterlot was very sad.

He looked at the dresses spread out on the hangers.

"This is the reality." Jian carefully protected Bawan Xi, and her heart was just as cold.

If Bawan Xi had not noticed this tiny abnormality and then fought desperately to get out and hold on until she reunited with them, Jian had no idea when the goblins' conspiracy would be exposed.

"However, we have not received any other reports of any abnormalities," said Hector.

"It's the same here. I didn't find anything unusual." Reinek said the same thing.

It's not that they disagree, but they don't know how to deal with the conspiracy whose origin and true identity are unknown.

"No need to panic." Shioji raised his chin slightly. "At tomorrow's coronation ceremony, the person in charge of the imperial guard will be Reinecke, right?"

"That's right," Reinek responded.

"This is already known to everyone. Enter and execute," Shiomi said. "All guards will be fully armed. Wait for me to smash the cup as a signal. Then, immediately, any goblins present inside or outside the venue who are not wearing white scarves will be killed without mercy."

He swung his hand down heavily, making a slashing motion with a knife.

"...Yes." Reinek was shocked for a moment, and then responded heavily.

"Hector, you will go to the barracks and mobilise the elite troops of the Round Table. Once the fire breaks out at the coronation ceremony, immediately march out from the barracks and split into three groups to strangle the rebellious goblins inside and outside the city. The identification method will be the same as Reinecke's."

"Yes." Hector had already thought of what to do before Shiomi spoke.

Teterlotte realized the problem at this time: "Wait! You asked me to lead the textile department to make white scarves for the entire city, is this the purpose?"

"No, it was originally intended as a token to identify the residents of the city." Shiomi shook his head calmly, "but now it's being used in other ways."

"Hmm..." Tetrot felt very depressed, but couldn't say anything.

Bawan Xi has been killed. If nothing is done, the hostile flames and blades will be directed at them, the core members who founded Londinium.

Even if it was just out of self-preservation, I understood the current situation well enough.

"This will cause chaos in Londinium. It's bound to turn into an indiscriminate massacre. The only difference is which side gets wiped out first." Grimm looked unhappy. "Can't we just eliminate the ringleader?"

"That's not necessary." Shiomi said.

"Really?" Grimm scratched his head. "What do you want me to do?"

"You and Tetrot escort Ash and Bawan Xi out of the city and wait for me in a safe place outside the city." Xijian walked to the window and looked at the bustling scene outside the palace.

The fairies from outside live happily with the residents of the city.

But that is just an illusion.

The goblins have proved through their actions that they are unqualified and unworthy of enjoying eternal peace.

"Well, we will definitely not let you down." Tetrot could understand that Xijian didn't want her to get involved in such a bloody thing.

Grimm felt a little helpless: "Indeed, this side is also very important. I'll listen to you."

"Thank you." Xijian turned around and nodded with gratitude.

He then looked at Reineke and Héctor.

"I am deeply grateful for your unwavering loyalty over the past millennia. If you do not wish to stain your hands with blood in the execution of my previous command, you may depart now. I will personally handle everything. If you remain here tomorrow, I will not tolerate your regrets."

He looked at them quietly.

"If you regret it at the last minute, don't blame me for ignoring our past friendship and going to war with you."

"The ideal of peace we have fought for so long is now doomed to fail." Hector lowered his head. "I am filled with resentment as well. Please rest assured, my king."

"I have no intention of forgiving those guys, but please give your orders, my king," said Reinek.

"...'My King'?" Xijian gave a wry smile, "I haven't been crowned king yet."

But the two fairies did not say anything, but demonstrated their loyalty through actions.

"Then let's go down." Xi Jian raised his hand, and the barrier separating the room from the outside world disappeared.
