In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

When she had come into contact with that woman before, she already knew some secrets about this world, and also knew what the so-called other civilization was.

Based on this, it doesn't seem so hard to believe that the Sarkaz's black crown is something they left behind...

"You know more than I thought..."

Theresa looked at Maria in front of her, and after a few moments of silence, she accepted this fact.

But Maria still didn't quite understand why Theresa suddenly brought this up.

Theresa did not hide anything, but after a few pauses, she slowly spoke.

"When I was researching Black Crown, I discovered some of its secrets. I'm also trying to use it to transform the energy of Originium, trying to find a solution to Originium disease..."

"but……"

Theresa couldn't help but sigh when she said this.

As for the reason for his sigh, Maria had already seen it last night.

"You didn't succeed..."

"To be precise, only a little bit."

Theresa shook her head slightly, correcting Maria's statement.

Now, she can actively suppress the spread and growth of Originium to a certain extent, but most of the time, she can only suppress it reluctantly...it will not disappear.

The best she could do was to divert...

"In a sense, this can also be considered a way to treat Originium disease, right?"

The girl smiled bitterly and looked at her palms.

Above, some crystals are faintly visible...

But even so, she still appears very optimistic.

"At least I took the first step..."

But this first step is not enough.

If she wanted to quickly resolve the problems here, quickly resolve the conflicts in Kazdel, and quickly resolve the world's views on the Sarkaz, she needed to quickly research the true secret of all this.

At this time, Maria also tilted her head slightly.

"so……"

"You want me to help you with your research?"

357

Chapter 357 Where is Precious?

"Yes and no."

Theresa shook her head, her words tinged with emotion.

Studying such a dangerous item as Originium alone brought her a lot of pressure. If possible, she really hoped that she could find a companion who could help her.

but……

Maria can't.

"You're not a Sarkaz, and you don't have Originium disease... rash contact could bring you a lot of danger."

Theresa said, silently raising her head.

"I can do this alone."

"……I see."

Maria actually wanted to tell the girl not to worry about herself, because she would not be infected.

But looking at the other person's determined eyes, she was silent for a while and then chose to agree.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I hope you can help Kal'tsit."

Theresa spoke, finally revealing the reason why she had kept Maria.

She hopes Maria can help Kal'tsit deal with her problems.

"Kelsey?"

Maria was a little confused, but Theresa, who was sitting opposite her, nodded seriously.

"I know that Black Crown and Originium have some connection thanks to Kal'tsit... But I know that what she did was not in line with the rules in her heart."

"In fact, Kal'tsit herself admitted that she originally assembled the coalition in the hope of retaking the Black Crown..."

"But now, she chose to support me..."

Theresa's hands were tangled on the table, her eyes flickering.

"The last time that woman showed up, you noticed that Kal'tsit was very... reserved towards her. I don't know the reason for that, or the exact nature of their relationship, but I'm certain that what Kal'tsit is doing now is definitely not in compliance with their rules."

"After a while, when the new mobile platform is discovered, Kal'tsit will inevitably be in trouble again, and may even be in danger... If possible, I hope you can help."

Theresa said this, looking up seriously.

To be honest, she always feels powerless when faced with such things.

Although she was a demon king, she was only the demon king of the Sarkaz... The Sarkaz were just a relatively well-known but not very influential race on Terra...

When facing various problems, she still looks very young.

Only the fact that Maria and others are still around can give her the courage to move on.

Maria also nodded slightly after thinking for a few moments.

"I understand……"

……

On the other side, inside the meeting room of the Kazdel Military Committee.

Just after leaving the meeting held by Theresa, a group of royal court representatives gathered here again and held their own meeting.

Tracy sat in the same seat as Theresa, but slightly lower in standard, with a gloomy look, as if he was deep in thought.

The representatives of the royal court were no longer as silent as they were in the conference room, but began to discuss what to do next.

Soon, someone gave their opinion.

"We can't confront Babel head-on right now..."

A woman with black horns and a black hat stood up and immediately gave the answer.

"With Ms. Maria at our side, Babel Tower is far more powerful than us... I know some of us may be skeptical, but you should have seen that even Mr. Neczrei is willing to communicate with Ms. Maria on an equal footing. This is enough to prove her strength."

"If a war really breaks out, regardless of our chances of victory, even if we are blessed, not many of us will survive..."

They were not completely dissatisfied with Theresa, they were just dissatisfied with Theresa's style of action. Her core purpose, in addition to protecting her own interests, was also for the good of Kazdel and Sarkaz.

They absolutely cannot accept such a lose-lose solution.

"What do you think?"

Just opposite the woman, another man spoke.

They actually all knew that they couldn't engage in a head-on battle with Maria...but the question was, what should they do next?

"I propose to wait...to buy time."

After a moment of silence, the woman gave her answer with a somewhat weak tone.

She didn't have any good solution. Babel Tower and they each had reputation and real strength, and there was still some tug-of-war between the two sides.

But everything changed after Maria joined the battlefield.

There are not many options left for them, and waiting may be the safest option.

But this approach was quickly refuted by another group of people.

"Waiting for what? Waiting for us to completely lose our chance?"

A man stood up, knocked on the table, and after taking a quick glance at the scene with his sharp eyes, he gave his opinion.

"We should organize our forces immediately... and complete the decapitation operation before the Babel forces can react!"

"Beheading?"

Everyone was stunned, and seemed a little surprised.

The woman next to him frowned and spoke in a harsh voice.

"Who are you going to kill?"

"Who else could it be?"

The man snorted coldly, "Of course it's our beloved Demon King."

"How dare you?!"

Almost immediately, the woman frowned and uttered a sharp cry of protest.

Many people around also expressed condemnation.

Only Theresis, who sat on the throne, said nothing.

The man glanced at Tracy, and after making sure that he didn't make any big moves, he spoke calmly to everyone.

"According to your original plan, we'll just have to hide for now... but what good will that do? Do you think if we temporarily give up the competition, the other party will hand over power? Theresa is no simple figure. She may be gentle, but you haven't forgotten what she's done over the past hundred years, have you?"

"If we stop, she will definitely continue to find ways to reduce the power of the royal court until we are completely classified as ordinary people... This is just waiting for death!"

"The only way is to behead him before anything changes. Only by beheading him and putting His Highness Tracy on the throne will we have a chance to turn the tables!"

"I know that many of you think Her Highness Theresa is great... I don't deny that. Theresa is indeed a very good leader, but... she can't lead us to the former glory of the Sarkaz!"

The more the man spoke, the more intense his tone became.

Many people around who had originally condemned him were now in obvious hesitation.

Because they know that the man is right.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the royal court's power would be eliminated would make them feel uneasy.

But they can't change anything through language.

and so……

Beheading?

"no!"

The woman at the beginning continued to refute, frowning and looking at the man.

"Let's not even talk about whether your plan will succeed... Even if your plan succeeds, how will you deal with the wrath of the Banshee Court and Lady Maria? She won't abide by our rules."

Everyone knows that Maria is completely outside the rules.

In the entire Kazdel, there are only a few people like this on one hand.

The Demon King Theresa is one, Nezrael, who is known as the God of War, is one... Maria is also one of them.

If something happens to Theresa, who will bear the wrath when Maria's judgment comes?

"You? Or us?"

The woman used the harshest words to express the cold reality they had to face.

No matter what they choose, there won't be much left for them.

After the woman spoke, more and more people joined in the discussion.

But this action did not change anything except making the meeting room noisy.

And Tracy just sat in the chair indifferently, with his eyes closed and his head lowered.

The huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him reflects the present-day Kazdel.

The setting sun burned the last of the sky's fiery crimson before sinking to the ground. Lights gradually lit up, illuminating the Demon King's castle...
