Maxwell put away his smile and returned to the serious and humble old man.
"According to your requirements before you fell asleep, the reinforcement and contraction of the city are going smoothly. If the data we calculated before is correct, then [-]% of the city will remain intact during the ascent."
"only......"
"only?"
The queen frowned slightly.
The old man did not continue to hesitate, and continued:
"Those hyenas in the wilderness seemed to smell something. They became more and more unscrupulous. There were even traces of hyenas on the black soil around Enoch."
"But it is difficult for us to mobilize enough manpower to take care of this matter now. The return day is uncertain. If you leave Enoch now, if you are unlucky, you may need to bear the pressure brought by floating in the wilderness environment."
Having said this, the old man paused for a moment as if he was organizing appropriate words.
"And...the hyenas seem to be different this time. They are fiercer, stronger, and fearless. The small patrol team we sent has lost more people than in the past year combined."
The queen was slightly surprised.
"There is such a thing, who leaked the news?"
The old man lowered his head a little lower.
"We don't have the time to find out...but the deputy commander of the guards, the chief of the Zimixi clan, and the member of the Holy Blood Party, Allen Zimixi, has personally led the elite knights to participate in the hunt."
"Then there is nothing to worry about. Allen's strength is enough to clean up the nearby hyenas. Even if he is not lucky enough, he should not die easily because of floating up."
The woman on the throne waved her hand,
"The problem is not the appearance of the hyenas, but the spread of the news -"
Listen, Maxwell suddenly interrupted the queen.This is an extremely disrespectful behavior, and it shouldn't happen to nobles, let alone this old man who has followed the royal family for hundreds of years.
"His Majesty--"
The queen's expression remained unchanged, as if she had already guessed that the other party would have such a reaction.
"Aren't we really...not opening the gates of Enoch? Those alienated hyenas are fine, but there are still healthy residents and our agents in the gathering place."
The old man broke out in a cold sweat. He exhausted all his strength after speaking just a few dozen words, which was no less than going through a difficult battle.
"You're still too kind, Mark."
"It's a big move, but the number of people that can be accommodated is limited."
"But the lower city should be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people..."
The old man wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
"You don't understand, this news will raise a huge storm in the wasteland, and then there will be no difference between mobs, hyenas, healthy residents or low blood. They will all appear at the gate of Enoch, and we This precedent must never be set.”
"And those wilderness people who are stranded in the city, if they really survive until the return day, they will also bring us huge troubles in the material world. Our resources are limited and precious, and we cannot waste them on these people."
The queen's voice sounded cold and calm, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing.
"Moreover, there are some unwanted things mixed in every corner of the jungle, and we don't have time to distinguish them slowly now."
The old man took a deep breath, and his body seemed to become a little more bent in the process.
"I understand... One last thing, His Royal Highness Abigail Cain has made a lot of moves recently. She compiled a list of nobles, which seems to be related to the missing members of the envoy from the human wizard. "
Unknowingly, Maxwell had changed his name for Fitili.The Queen's intention has been very clear, she will be the next owner of Enoch City.
"Let them do whatever they want, whether it's Alan, whether it's Abigail...except for the preparations for the return day, nothing else matters."

When Ella walked out of the magic laboratory exclusive to the court mages of the Snow Kingdom, a respectful mage apprentice took a step back to the side of the road and bowed respectfully.
"Don't be so nervous, I am a court mage only in honor."
Ella was not used to this attitude, and seemed a little embarrassed.
But the other party shook his head firmly,
"I have the honor to read the notes left by His Excellency Williams. To our magicians in the Snow Country, you are just like Lord Nodens!"
After hearing a somewhat familiar honorable name, Ella felt the magic power in her body become disordered, and she almost triggered a certain negative rule brought by the Ten Commandments!
Ella was surprised for a while, because she hadn't used this alchemy item for a long time.Then she seemed to remember something, her expression became a little unbelievable, and she couldn't help muttering to herself:
"...not to forge gods for yourself?"
"Sir Williams?"
"No, nothing, where are Her Majesty Lily and the chief knight?"
"Please wait a moment. Her Majesty the Empress told me to wait here and take you there when Your Majesty comes out."
Following behind the magic apprentice, Ella couldn't help thinking of the signs of the negative effects just now.The mages of the Snow Country obviously respected themselves beyond the limit they should have, but the vague connection brought about by this almost touched the rules of the Ten Commandments.
On the other hand, Ella remembered that the negative rules of the Ten Commandments usually only lasted a day, but this time it went far beyond that limit.It has been more than a month since she used the Ten Commandments to divine the whereabouts of the shadow in Baran Village, and it has been more than a month now.
Is this effect permanent?
Ella couldn't help frowning. Although the negative effects of the first five rings were not unbearable to her now, the meaning of them made her think more.
"You shall not make gods for yourself"
At first, Ella was only ignorant of this precept, so at the time, Ella felt that she was not narcissistic enough to worship herself as a god.But when she completed the rebirth ritual and gradually mastered a little divinity, this commandment became intriguing.
Are the negative effects of the Ten Commandments really completely random?
If not, on what basis does it change?What kind of existence does that cold voice that sounded from the consciousness space belong to after declaring the commandments?
Ella suddenly felt that the ring on her finger became strange.
"Sir Williams...you don't look good."
The young magic apprentice plucked up the courage to talk to her, just like a scholar in the ordinary world confronting a legendary figure that only appears in textbooks.
"Oh, nothing."
Ella's train of thought was interrupted before she looked herself up and down.The sky blue court mage dress was stained by the liquid medicine, it was a little dirty, and the front was also stained with a little blood.
"It's just that there was an accident in the magic experiment."
Afterwards, the magic apprentice stayed outside the room, and Ella knocked on the door alone and entered the study room, where she saw the new queen and chief knight of the Snow Kingdom.
Before the girl arrived, the pair of master and servant seemed to be doing something else. Empress Lily I's fair face was a little flushed, and the latter was taken aback by Ella's appearance.
"What's wrong with you Ella?"
"It's a little complicated to explain..."
Ella thought for a while, and considering that Lily Bell could also be said to be related to the incident, she simply told the whole story.
"So you don't have to worry about that ancient prophet. She really just used a certain method to retain a small piece of knowledge in your consciousness, and it will never appear again after the power is exhausted this time."
Lily couldn't believe the result,
"So my family in the material world was descended from ancient prophets, but why wasn't I a wizard at that time?"
"Wizard blood is not something that lasts steadily, and apart from a few pure-blood families, there are very few surnames that last long... and you may have died too young to receive Clough special acceptance letter."
The young queen was silent for a few seconds,
"If I knew magic back then, maybe we'd...forget it, things in that world don't matter."
"You have a good rest, there will be a banquet tonight."
Ella wanted to refuse at first. After getting the news, she wanted to return to the material world as soon as possible, but the injury in her body reminded her to be careful.
As if seeing Ella's concerns, Ashley said:
"This is not something to be in a hurry. It will take at least a few days to climb the Tongtian Stone Steps. Let's take a good rest before going on the road."
Chapter 18 The Legendary Age (Second Update)
The Stone Steps of Altmont Southkey...
Ayla recalled the tall and speechless ring-shaped building, and flying magic was not allowed there, and no matter how confident she was, she would never be able to provoke the rules made by a god.
But if you want to return to the material world, that can be regarded as the only way to go.
Thinking of this, Ella suddenly froze.
Unlike last time, she didn't have an invitation to the temple!How do we get from the Kingdom of Snow to the border of Dreamland? Do we have to bypass the temple and fly from the ground to the dim celestial body in the sky?
At this time, Lily suddenly opened the drawer of the wooden table, held a dark yellow envelope between her fingers, shook it in her dull eyes, and then slid out along the table.
Ashley explained with some amusement:
"This is left by the envoy, who said that you will return to the Land of Snow sooner or later."
"Take a good rest for a day. I will ask someone to prepare fresh water and food for you to climb up the ladder. In addition, you will also need a team to deliver supplies."
Ella refused with a smile,
"There's no need for a team, I'm just fine by myself... After all this time, I'm a little better than before."
Lily and Ashley looked at each other, the former stuck out his tongue mischievously, the girl's character and appearance didn't seem to have changed much after 15 years.
"Actually, we also want to go on an adventure with you like in the past, but as long as I leave for a day, the documents and scrolls piled up here will bury me."
Ella nodded.
"I understand."
Although the appearance and inner character have hardly changed, the Lily in front of her is no longer the reckless girl who would leave the guards and knights alone and accidentally fall into the snow pit 15 years ago.
She is now Lily I Bell, Her Majesty the Empress of the Land of Snow.
The rebuilding of Snow Country is at a critical stage. Both the physical country and the new order are constantly being improved. It is quite rare for Lily to be able to spare a little time at this time.
It takes 15 years for the country to be reborn from the ruins, no matter where it is placed, it is a miracle, and behind miracles often means efforts beyond the scope.
"I'd love to hear about your experience in that world, but let's put it at the banquet tonight."
"of course can."
