"This is the final step."

Push the green orb diagonally to the left, and the door will begin to vibrate, then open little by little to the left and right.

Minerva watched in a trance as the door slowly opened.

"Is everything...okay? Kid...?"

"Well, that's all. Didn't you see it too, Minerva?"

Lin Yinxi pointed to a square building in the distance that looked like an altar, with a box placed on it.

After seeing the box, Minerva's body began to tremble.

Even when they reached the box, the trembling of excitement did not stop.

No, it feels like it's getting worse.

Minerva in the middle was so excited that she couldn't move forward. If Lin Yinxi hadn't supported her, she would have fallen down.

"This is... the crystal scroll..."

A whisper escaped Minerva's trembling lips.

As expected of a box that holds the "Crystal" scroll, the box in front of me is decorated with various crystals, and it is half the height of a person, with no special locking device on it.

It's almost identical to the box in the game, except a bit fancier.

“Really, this is…”

Minerva's body was shaking, and she looked so excited that it made people feel pitiful.

"It's not like I can't understand her feelings..."

As a gifted all-rounder, Minerva can easily master various types of magic, but conversely, her overwhelming talent has caused this Eternal Mage to lose interest in life.

At some point, she had learned all the magic she could learn, and all she could do at that time was to look through the magic books that she had memorized hundreds of years ago, or improve various magic spells aimlessly.

Those were things she had been repeating for hundreds of years.

Although all the magicians in the empire were passionate about "the same thing" and were crazy about it, for Minerva, it was no different from rotting alive.

And so, in the past 100 years, while she was just habitually persisting in improving magic, suddenly someone said that he could help her find the crystal scroll that had been lost long ago.

Faced with this novel, long-lost, and long-awaited learning opportunity, she would definitely shift her focus.

"Seeing Minerva's condition with my own eyes, it seems even more serious..."

To be honest, that was all he knew from talking to Minerva in the game.

It's been packaged in various ways, but the bottom line is that Minerva in the game says she's learned all the magic she can, is bored, and wants to die.

But for the real Minerva, things seem to be more serious than imagined.

Lin Yinxi believed that she would definitely ask about the location of other scrolls in the future.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Minerva were to sell herself to him in exchange for telling her the location of the other Elder Scrolls, she would probably be happy to open her legs to him, right?

"Although I didn't mean that..."

"Ah..."

Minerva opened the box containing the crystal scroll with trembling hands.

154. Lady Minerva! Step on me!

Aurora put down the gleaming silver knife and fork in her hand, crossed them and placed them on the exquisite ceramic plate, indicating that she had finished her meal.

At this moment, the royal maid who had been standing respectfully behind her walked to her side as if she had been waiting for a long time.

In the maid's hand was a handkerchief, a very expensive-looking silk handkerchief inlaid with gold thread.

The maid wiped the corners of Aurora's mouth gently and rhythmically in a very polite and restrained manner, and Aurora accepted the maid's service very calmly.

While a maid was wiping the corner of Aurora's mouth, another maid began to pick up the silver knife and fork in front of Aurora. At the same time, another maid disappeared with the plate on the table.

As soon as the old plates were taken away, new ones were placed on the table.

Almost at the same time, the maid who was wiping Aurora's mouth finished her work and stepped aside.

At this time, Aurora's red lips had become as clean as before the meal.

On the newly served plate in front of her was a piece of chocolate cake, sprinkled with chocolate chips and drizzled with chocolate syrup.

Aurora casually took a bite of the cake, which looked so sweet that it made her tongue numb. Then, her body began to tremble slightly because of the sweet taste that filled her mouth.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Aurora stuck her fork into the cake, as if trying to ease the sweetness in her mouth, and spoke to the knights who were also dining not far away.

“I don’t know if I can succeed, but I will keep trying.”

"Thank you, Lord Aurora."

"No need to thank me. It's because of that idiot that you were forced to come to my territory. I am responsible for this matter."

As Aurora said, upon receiving Cassilia's indefinite order for everyone to remain in the palace until summoned again, she began to travel around, attempting to restore the status of the Knights of the Silver Dawn.

Although she visited many places and the process was not smooth, she still did not give up and kept trying.

Of course, the reason she worked so hard was because she believed that this was a crime committed by the bastard who used to be her father, so she had to end it herself.

She was definitely not doing this for the purpose of atonement.

Aurora also appears to be very cold and heartless in some aspects, and she will not atone for her sins.

In fact, for the many evil deeds committed by the former lord, she mostly dealt with the victims in an obligatory and compulsory manner.

The only exception is the Knights of the Silver Dawn.

Most importantly, if she is indifferent to the matter, does not deal with the aftermath, or handles matters related to the "devil" casually, it will make people doubt its authenticity and people will think that she is pretending to be innocent to cover up evidence.

Therefore, even if she died, she refused to accept such questioning.

"...Well, it might get a little lonely after that..."

Aurora took another bite of the chocolate cake.

If the Knights of the Silver Dawn successfully restored their organization and returned to the palace, that man would definitely leave with them.

She was talking about Lin Yinxi.

The man who had saved her from that damn fate, the man who always performed miraculous acts in an incredible way and with an air of grandeur, was also a man who was hiding some huge secret.

besides......

"Alas... I must stop letting my emotions get to me... Being so sentimental isn't my style..."

Until the third bite of cake disappeared in Aurora's throat, she only felt a sweet taste directly into her nose, and then the taste of chocolate spread in her mouth.

This cake is really sweet.

Yeah…Aurora thought she had to stop being sentimental, but she really couldn't help it.

Because doesn't he already have a woman rolling around in bed with him?

Although imperial law allowed polygamy, it was, after all, just a permission.

If there were no restrictions, the imperial nobles would probably have hundreds or even thousands of wives and concubines.

If you want to practice polygamy, you must make corresponding great achievements.

Even if the nobles possess power, wealth, status, and majesty, these are completely meaningless.

The only requirement for polygamy in the empire is personal achievement.

I heard that this condition was set by the first emperor of the empire, but Aurora is not very clear about the specific details.

Since her interest in this system happened only recently, it was only natural.

"If it's Lin Yinxi, then it's not completely impossible."

Aurora couldn't help but think of the rumors that had been circulating within the palace recently.

When the shadow that covered the sky and the sun passed over the imperial capital and raged in the imperial capital as never before, there was a man who had confronted it, had confronted the dragon head-on.

When everyone fell into a coma, in order to protect everyone, the man bravely confronted the dragon alone. In the end, the existence of the dragon, which was nothing more than a walking natural disaster and a natural disaster with wisdom, fled in front of him.

The protagonist of the rumor is Lin Yinxi.

'Perhaps the rumors may be exaggerated.'

Aurora thought so.

A dragon no different from a natural disaster fleeing from humans? This was absolutely absurd. No matter how much she thought about it, she could only come to the conclusion that it was impossible.

However, the rumors may not be entirely wrong.

Unless someone is malicious and intentionally lying, rumors will always spread with some degree of truth.

Perhaps the fact that Lin Yinxi was fighting against the dragon was true.

However, it wasn't that the dragon escaped, but something happened that caused it to retreat for unknown reasons.

"If this was just a rumor, my aunt wouldn't have just sat there and remained silent..."

If this was a rumor made up entirely of lies, Casillas, as the person involved, would definitely not remain silent about it.

However, the fact is that Casillas ignored the rumor and completely ignored it.

As the emperor, Casillas couldn't have been unaware of the rumors and gossip that were spreading in the palace. It only meant that she deliberately ignored them after hearing them.

To be more precise, ever since the capital was attacked by a giant dragon and then the dragon retreated for unknown reasons,

This may also be the reason why Aurora, who traveled with Lin Yinxi, and the Knights Generals of the Silver Dawn Knights were treated better.

The emperor had clearly heard the rumors, but he deliberately ignored them and let them go. However, Lin Yinxi and his party received a grand reception in the palace. For the people of the royal capital, this was all they could see.

"So, Lin Yinxi hasn't come back yet?"

Aurora glanced out the window. Night was falling outside.

"Well, I heard he went somewhere with the Eternal Mage, but I haven't heard anything about him since then."

"If it's him, there should be no problem. You don't have to worry too much about it. Worrying about him is just a waste of worry for us. It will only bring us losses."

This is Aurora's true words.

She believed in Lin Yinxi's own strength. Although she didn't know how he did it, he could even seduce Minerva to go out together. Only a fool would worry about his life or death in this situation.

If you want to worry, you might as well worry about Minerva on the other side...

"...Alice, why has it been so noisy outside since just now?"

Claudia swallowed the last sip of wine from the bottle, frowned slightly, and spoke to Alice.

Just as she said, the palace, which was usually supposed to be silent, was now so noisy that even they in the restaurant could hear the noise.

"I heard it too, but I don't know what it is."

"I can't see it from here. It should be on the other side, right? I don't know what happened. The noise came from there to here..."

Liz tilted her head and looked out the window, but unfortunately it wasn't this direction and she didn't see anything.

After a moment's thought, Aurora stood up. This seemed like a scene worth watching.

The Knights Generals seemed to have noticed Aurora's intention and followed closely behind.

the other side.

"...What the hell is going on?"

Lin Yinxi sighed in annoyance and leaned against the wall away from the center of the commotion.

He really didn't dare to get close to the scene of collective madness.

He should have thought of it from the moment Minerva said that she had to contact the Magic Tower in advance to find the crystal scroll.

"Lady Akashana! Please step on my back and move forward!"

"No, Miss Akashana! Please step on me first!"

"Observe the rules! How can you cut in line so immorally!"

'Are they crazy...?'
