Looking Forward to Another World

At night, the moon replaces the sun during the day and hangs at the highest point in the sky.

The moon tonight is neither round nor curved, like a plate with a corner missing. It is obscured by the floating dark clouds from time to time, but soon the corners are exposed again, spreading the soft moonlight to the earth. , covering the earth with a layer of silver frost.

By this time, although not everyone has gone to sleep, there are far fewer pedestrians on the street.

The same goes for Franzel's mansion. It is no longer as lively as it was during the day, but shows a somewhat peaceful atmosphere. Except for the patrolling guards who are walking around, everyone else has finished dinner and washed up, and returned to their own selves. s room.

Li Ge was also in his room.

Next to him was Yuro Ellie, who was now much more energetic than she was during the day.

He himself was sitting at the wooden table in the center of the room, with various treasures placed on the table in front of him.

Yoroi Ali was curiously picking up these treasures from the side, sometimes picking up the cane and scepter to play with, and sometimes touching gems or necklaces. That look was not so much that she felt two-dimensional after seeing the exquisite jewelry and decorations. A woman with shining eyes is better said to be a little animal that gets excited after seeing something shiny.

Li Ge also allowed the vampire queen to pick up her burial objects, and fell into a difficult decision.

"Which one should I choose as a gift?"

Yes, Li Ge is choosing a gift for Yuli.

The treasures on the table are all ancient secret treasures that he brought out from Yuluo Ellie's tomb. He has used appraisal magic to identify these secret treasures, and he can say that he knows their effects very well.

But even so, it still stumped Li Ge to choose one of these ancient secret treasures to give to Yuli.

no way.

"That eldest lady seems to be lacking everything, right?"

Li Ge didn't discover this problem until this moment.

As the head of the Franzel family, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Jinas, and the chief magician and strategic magician of the palace, Yuri does not lack many magic items.

She had entered the kingdom's treasure house and selected secret treasures there, so it was not that she did not have secret treasures. She had at least one ancient secret treasure of the same level as Raven's Rebel Sword and Monis' Armor.

"I think I heard her mention it once before. She said she chose a staff, right?"

For a magician, the most important weapon is of course the staff. Just like a swordsman cannot live without a sword, a good magician cannot live without a staff.

Therefore, given the rare opportunity to enter the kingdom's treasure house, Yuri would naturally be more inclined to choose a powerful staff as her main weapon.

Although Yuri did not elaborate on the power of the staff, since it was selected from the kingdom's treasure house, even if the secret treasure is somewhat inferior to Li Ge's Meloai God, it will definitely not be inferior. too much.

"In this case, can the secret treasures of the rod type be eliminated?"

Li Ge moved aside all the magician's staffs such as canes, scepters, short staffs, and long staffs, large and small, and let Yuro Ellie play with them.

Then, Li Ge thought carefully and put aside the magic props such as gems and crystals.

"It's rare to give me a gift, so it's better to give me a secret treasure that can improve my strength."

Some of those gems or crystals are magic props, and some are pure magic materials. They can only work when necessary and cannot effectively enhance the strength of the bearer.

Therefore, Li Ge also eliminated them and wanted to choose a secret treasure that could increase Yuli's strength and equip her with it.

"That's all that's left, right?"

Li Ge looked at the remaining necklaces, rings, amulets, or belts, wrist guards and other equipment, and finally eliminated those belts, wrist guards, amulets and other treasures.

There was no other reason. As one of Yuli's rare close friends, Li Gedu had known her for such a long time, so he naturally knew the eldest lady's preferences.

Yuri has never worn these belts, wrist guards, amulets and other equipment, and she has clearly stated that she is not used to them.

Therefore, Li Ge excluded these, leaving only necklaces, rings, bracelets and other decorations that are more popular with girls.

Then, Li Ge started picking and choosing again, eliminating all the treasures that were of little use to the magician.

"Exclude the necklace as well."

Li Ge suddenly remembered that Yuli also seemed to be wearing a necklace. That necklace seemed to be a rare magic item, so he took out all the necklaces and handed them to Yuluo Ellie who was standing aside, asking her to take them curiously. passed.

"It seems I can only give you a ring or a bracelet."

At this time, Li Ge felt that the choice became less difficult.

The remaining secret treasures such as rings or bracelets should be more suitable for giving to Yuli.

But even if only the ring or bracelet is left, Li Ge still has many choices.

"Which one should I choose?"

Li Ge, who had never seriously chosen a gift for a girl, looked at the remaining dozen rings and several bracelets, and entered a rare state of difficulty in choosing.

Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded from Li Ge.

"?"

Yoro Ellie was attracted by the sound and couldn't help but turn her ruby-like eyes. She put down the gem in her hand that was also as red as blood and looked at Li Ge.

"This is……?"

Li Ge also recovered from the difficulty in choosing. He was startled for a moment, and then seemed to remember something and took out an item from his body.

That's a magic crystal.

Astonishingly, it was Li Ge's communication magic crystal that was rarely used.

At this time, this communication magic crystal was emitting a faint light and making a pleasant sound.

There is no doubt that this was a symptom that someone had contacted Li Ge through the communication magic crystal.

"who?"

Li Ge felt suspicious for a while, but he still followed the method of opening the communication magic crystal, transferred the magic power into the magic crystal, and picked up the contact.

The next second, a voice that surprised Li Ge appeared in the communication magic crystal.

"Good evening, Lord Rige."

This is a very clear, very pleasant, female voice that is as sweet as the cry of a lark.

Li Ge naturally knew who the owner of this voice was.

"Saint Shalia?"

Li Ge said something unexpectedly.

Yes.

The owner of the voice who used the communication magic crystal to contact Li Ge was none other than the leader of the Duke Faction, the talented daughter of Duke Cordelion's family, the eldest daughter of the Duke's family who had already become a tactical-level magician at a young age - Sheng Xia Lea Cordelion.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Ge put away his surprised expression and greeted the other party like this.

But this seemed to make the other party feel a little confused.

"Has it been a long time?" Saint Xalia chuckled and said, "It doesn't seem to be a long time, right?"

Indeed, from Saint Xalia's point of view, the last time she met Li Ge in the mead restaurant was only a few months ago.

Of course, from Li Ge's point of view, he had indeed not heard Saint Xalia's voice for a long time.

After that meeting, Li Ge went to the world of the King of the Undead and stayed there for five months. Then he went to the fairy world of Britain and stayed there for three months. During the time that Akasha Continent passed, he had not heard the voice of Saint Shalia for almost a year.

That's why he said "Long time no see".

However, Li Ge would naturally not explain this kind of thing.

"It's not a long time for Miss Saint Xalia, but I have been to a lot of places and experienced a lot of things in recent times. From my own perspective, it has been quite a long time."

Li Ge said this calmly, causing Saint Xalia to smile.

"That's right. Mr. Rige not only went to the Mapros Territory recently, but also went to the neutral zone. He has experienced a lot."

This statement made Li Ge's voice become meaningful.

"Miss Saint Xalia is really concerned about my whereabouts."

Don't blame Li Ge for saying that.

Let’s leave aside the matter of going to Mapros to get it. After all, Rige went there in a serious manner by boat and carriage. With the power of the Cordelion family, it is naturally impossible that there is no way to grasp Rige’s whereabouts. , not to mention that Li Ge also caused quite a stir in Mapros' territory.

But Li Ge never informed anyone except Yuli about the neutral zone. At first, he used the [Teleport Gate] to directly return to the Mapros Territory, and then used teleportation magic to directly cross the border defense line. In an unknown place, Arrived in neutral territory and headed for Sinyele.

This incident only happened recently, and the whole process lasted only a few days. The incident that Li Ge caused in the main hall of Xinyele City may not have been reported back to the Kingdom of Jinas.

But Saint Xalia already knew about it, so one can imagine how much attention Duke Cordelion's family paid to him.

"Now, people who don't care about Mr. Lige's whereabouts probably don't exist among the higher-ups in the entire kingdom, right?" Saint Xalia was very calm and said: "Even if I don't pay attention to it, the people in my family They will also take the initiative to do it, and I just need to ask a few questions when they think of it, and they will tell me endlessly."

In fact, it was St. Nidor, the duke's son who was evaluated as the best candidate for the next king, who had been paying attention to Lige's whereabouts.

Especially after Li Ge defeated Raven and it was reported that he had mastered incredible space magic, Saint Nidor's attention to Li Ge had been raised to the highest level.

Saint Xalia really didn't give any instructions in this regard, let alone paid special attention to it, but even if she didn't do anything, her overly excellent brother would tell her these things incessantly.

This contact was actually ordered by Saint Nidor, otherwise Saint Charlia would not have taken the initiative to disturb Li Ge.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

In fact, Saint Xalia really wanted to deepen her relationship with Liga and establish some emotional connection, so as to stimulate her powerful rival (who she thought she was).

It's a pity that Li Ge left the royal capital very quickly and ran outside. He was away from home, and Saint Xalia couldn't contact him for anything, so the matter fell by the wayside.

It was not until this time that Saint Nidor confirmed the news that Li Ge had returned to the royal capital that Saint Xalia contacted Li Ge.

However, this time I didn't come here solely for the purpose of connecting with each other.

"Tell me." Li Ge asked directly, "What do you want from me?"

Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Li Ge didn't think that Saint Xalia would have a casual chat with him at this time.

But this matter has nothing to do with Li Ge.

"Her Highness Liz has entered the palace, right?" Saint Xalia said: "She hasn't come back, has she?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ge's eyes suddenly flashed.

"……problem occurs?"

Li Ge said this in a cold tone that was rarely heard by others.

"……Roughly the same."

Saint Xalia seemed to be shocked by Li Ge's tone, but she still adjusted her mentality and responded to Li Ge.

"I just received some information here, saying that something happened in the palace today."

Saint Xalia corrected her tone and began to speak.

"Her Royal Highness Liz was summoned to the palace by His Majesty the King and completed her audience with the King."

"After His Majesty saw Her Majesty Liz, it is said that he immediately retreated, as if he was preparing to do something."

"After that, His Royal Highness Liz was placed under house arrest by His Majesty the King himself and was not allowed to leave the palace."

This was obviously information that had just been obtained. The information was full of uncertain factors and contained only a brief retelling of the facts.

But this is enough.

"House arrest..."

Li Ge was silent for a while before speaking.

"I don't know about this at all. It's a shame he dared to do this."

Originally, Li Ge thought that Hemulimp would not be unfavorable to Liz and did not dare to do anything to her.

Now it seems that I was naive.

"Um...just calm down first."

Saint Xalia seemed to sense some danger in Li Ge's tone, and spoke with a sneer.

"It's just house arrest, right? Didn't you do anything else too much? His Majesty the King must have done this because he was worried about you, right?"

Using three uncertain modal words in a row, it can be imagined that Saint Xalia did not expect that Li Ge would react like this.

"Don't worry, I'm calm." Li Ge said this, and his tone was indeed very calm. He said to Saint Xalia: "What's the reason? Why did he put Liz under house arrest?"

"Our people are still investigating." Saint Xalia considered the words and said with some caution: "Brother means that we should inform you about this matter first so that you can be prepared."

"Okay." Li Ge said happily: "Thank you brother for me. I will remember your understanding this time."

"I'll tell him."

Saint Xalia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the purpose of this contact was achieved.

St. Nidor will signal St. Shalia and ask her to contact Lige and tell him about this. Isn't it just a good sign?

"We will ask people to speed up the investigation and find out the reason why His Majesty suddenly did such a thing as soon as possible."

Saint Xalia also told Li Ge so.

However……

"No."

Li Ge said lightly.

"My people, I will personally pick them up."
