Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

The steps to travel to Order's hometown are actually very simple.

That is, find the door that leads there, and then open the door.

However, these two processes are extremely difficult to implement.

As a hidden copy hidden deep in the frozen soil of a desperate situation.

Rhine had put in a lot of effort to find a way to get there.

Get information about the existence of Order's hometown,

Find the location of the entrance.

Find a plan and implement it, and finally open the hidden passage.

Every step requires Rhine to pay a huge cost, and there is also a lot of luck.

And even after all the hard work, Rhine finally opened the door.

What awaits him within the copy is,

But it is also a terrifying enemy that is impossible to defeat.

finally……

In the previous 999 reincarnations.

Rhine has never successfully conquered this hidden dungeon even once.

And even now, Rhine has the Golden Land, the assistance of Italian and the Grand Master, and even the evil gods secretly escorting them.

Rhine still has no confidence in winning.

In this last reincarnation, Rhine should have acted cautiously and avoided all risks.

Rhine had no need to challenge this hidden copy in the deep permafrost.

But Rhine has a reason to do this.

"So, what do you want to do when you come out?"

deep frozen soil,

Italaine has been accompanying Rhine to explore the desolate frozen soil for a long time.

Finally, Italian asked Rhine impatiently:

"Is the scenery here so beautiful?"

"It's not just for the scenery."

Rhine looked at the wind and snow in the distance, still silently calculating in his heart: "The locust plague is almost over, it's time to prepare for the next step."

Etalion: "What?"

Rhine: "Find the door."

Etalion: "Door?"

Rhine: "Of course, didn't I say that? The entrance to Hee's lair is well hidden. These monsters are not just wild animals, so their lairs will be... beyond your expectations."

"Oh, really."

It was true that Etalaine knew very little about Heihe, but she didn't think that the mysterious lair would really exceed her expectations and even surprise her.

During the years of maintaining balance in the mortal world for the goddess, she has seen too many strange things in the mortal world.

However, Italian still asked out of curiosity:

Etalion: "So, what's in there?"

Rhine: "A city made of crystalline construction, an artificial sun, and black swarms that will generate at high speeds according to the strength of the enemy... You will see it soon."

"Yeah."

It sounds like nothing more than that.

But... a crystallized city?

Etalaine heard a key word that concerned her.

She took out the golden crystal that Rhine gave her.

"Is it related to this thing?"

"Yes, keep it safe."

If the most dangerous areas in the world were ranked, then in Rhine's mind, the Black Era lair he mentioned could be firmly ranked in the top ten... no, at least the top five.

That is the legacy of the ancient civilization when its doomsday comes.

And Order, the strongest goddess.

Before becoming the main god of mankind, she was the administrator of that city.

Although, due to the absence of managers, that place has lost the possibility of expansion and has completely lost its vitality and hope.

However, Rhine still had to act with caution and reverence.

the reason is simple.

Because there are two managers in Crystal City.

After hours of exploration, Rhine finally found his target - the door to the crystallized city.

In the howling blizzard, the endless plains seemed empty.

Except for a few sporadic black spirits wandering aimlessly, they were soon burnt to ashes by the magic thrown by Etalaine casually.

And Rhine used a set of rules to determine the general location of the door.

Then, he concentrated on it and moved slowly. Finally, at a specific angle, he saw a transparent barrier.

That is the gate to the Crystal City.

Most of the time, this door will not be opened.

Only when the total number of guards patrolling the deep frozen soil drops below 50% of the original number, will the ancient crystallized city automatically declare a state of war, open the door, and project a more powerful army to the outside world.

Rhine: "Xiaoyi, did you see it?"

Rhine asked Etalian to stand in his place, and then Etalian also saw the transparent door.

Rhine: "This is what we are looking for. There should be several doors like this in the deep permafrost - let's go."

After recording the exact coordinates of the door, Rhine and Italian continued to look for the next door.

.

After finding the first door, Rhine and Italian successively found the second door and the third door.

Italian didn't know how Rhine was able to lock invisible doors that were impossible to observe under normal circumstances with such precision and efficiency on the vast frozen soil.

But thanks to this series of Rhine, I don’t know why I always feel that the operations are skillful and heart-wrenching.

A major difficulty in getting to Black E's lair was easily overcome.

Now as long as they do something in the deep frozen soil and trigger the war alarm in the nest, they can enter the mysterious nest to find out what's going on - and then blow it to ashes and eliminate future troubles forever.

but……

how to say……

Although everything was going smoothly in the Rhine operation.

But Italian felt a little disappointed.

...It turns out that this guy Rhine only wants to go with me when he needs me for business.

Etalaine followed Lain silently. She looked at Lain's back and felt very awkward.

It seems...

Rhine really treated her as a tool.

Although Rhine kept saying that he wanted to help Italian find Hei E's lair, in the end, it seemed that Rhine wanted to go there alone.

Now it was becoming clearer to Italion.

In fact, this guy just wanted to spend his honeymoon in the frozen soil with his elf mistress. He just needed a tool man to do the hard work, so he called Etalian, right?

But forget it...it doesn't matter.

Italian's mood soon calmed down, and he didn't have any resentment.

Italian didn’t want to blame Rhine for this.

She didn't have a good relationship with Rhine to begin with. If Rhine hadn't asked for her, how could she suddenly show her favor to Italaine?

However, at this moment,

Rhine stopped.

Italion: "What's wrong?"

Rhine: "Xiaoyi, I have something to say to you."

Italian: "Really..."

This guy Rhine...sure enough, he still has something to say. Do you want to tell me?

Italian had some expectations in her heart, but the expression on her face was serious: "If you have anything to say, please tell me."

Rhine smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Yi, regarding the matter of the Grand Master, I hope you can understand that she is an ally that I must win over, but the character of the demigod is too difficult to figure out, so I have to use some new methods."

Etalion snorted: "So you did the same thing to her as Hela?"

Rhine was stunned: "Hela? How did you know?"

Etalion: "Idiot, that low-level shielding barrier set up by Hela can't stop my observation at all, okay?"

Etalion is the ultimate demigod;

She can easily break the spells of ordinary demigods.

As for the so-called barrier that shields observation, it has little effect on Italian.

so.

Returning to the imperial capital in Rhine, the night before parting with Hela.

Etalion knew exactly what these two people were doing in Hela's suburban manor.

Rhine was stunned for a moment: "Didn't I already... tell Hela how to upgrade the barrier?"

Etalaine sneered: "You must not trust her magic skills. When Hela was in the Holy Church, she was always at the bottom of the theory exam. She doesn't understand magic at all."

Etalion recalled that chaotic night, and she said angrily:

"I actually let those dolls call you ■■. You guys had so much fun."

Rhine clarified seriously: "No, that was Hela's proposal."

Italian said angrily, "I don't care about those details!"

But after saying that, Italian suddenly remembered something.

In fact, besides Italian, there should be another witness in the imperial capital that night.

But given that person's character, she probably just kept the matter in her heart and remained silent as usual.

"By the way, Constance should also be able to see through that simple barrier... Although that woman's bloodline barely meets the standards for sublimation, her divinity is very special... But it doesn't matter, you don't need to care about that woman. After all, she rejected your confession back then, so she deserves it!"

Italion did not like Constance.

And thinking about it carefully, Italian seems to dislike every woman around Rhine...

Thinking of this, Etalaine couldn't help but sigh. There were some things she had wanted to say a long time ago:

"Seriously... Laine, take a look at the women around you when you have time. I used to like married women, but now I only find weirdos. Do you plan to marry these women in the future?"

Lai Yin smiled and asked: "Then what kind of woman do Xiao Yi think I should find to marry?"

Etalion had been thinking about this issue for a long time, so she blurted out:

"At least it must be a woman who can take care of you. Leta's pointed ears have only a few years left to live. Hela can't even take care of herself. As for Constance, if you and the woman who hurt you are allowed to live together again, At the same time, you will feel uncomfortable... huh? What do you think I do?"

As Etalion was talking, she suddenly noticed Rhine's gaze.

Lain looked at Italian tenderly and asked:

"Since Xiaoyi doesn't trust the women around me, how about I just stop getting married and let Xiaoyi take care of me?"

"Huh? You, don't say such weird things out of the blue!"

Etalaine's reaction was violent, and she scolded Rhine in shame and anger.

Although she didn't look very angry.

But Rhine said nothing more.

He just looked at his sister quietly with affectionate eyes.

Rhine's mood at this moment was very complicated.

The lively, cute, shy girl in front of me is my favorite sister.

In previous reincarnations, she was Rhine's strongest assistant, and Rhine's only trump card that could fight against Histia in the early stage.

However, Rhine used her countless times and then killed her.

He has even killed to the point of numbness, to the point where he will not even shed a single tear for his sister.

After a while.

Rhine sighed.

"Xiaoyi..."

His tone became lower: "Over the years, our relationship has not been good because of the throne. In fact, I regret it. I should have thought earlier that you did not let me inherit the throne because you were worried about my safety. I'm sorry. , Xiao Yi...please forgive me for being so ignorant."

Hearing this, Italian was stunned.

Rhine: "Why don't you speak?"

Italian said in shock: "I didn't expect that one day I would hear such decent human words from your mouth..."

Rhine smiled and asked, "So, can you forgive my brother?"

"Well, let me forgive you..."

Italian asked softly:

"Then...can you forgive me too?"

Rhine: "What do you forgive me for?"

Italian blushed and said embarrassedly: "I have been saying bad things about you for so many years, and I even thought about using Edgeworth... to compete with you for the throne."

"Xiao Yi."

Lain looked at Italian tenderly: "You are my favorite sister, and I have never blamed you."

"!!!"

Etalaine's heart trembled. She looked at Rhine in disbelief. Rhine's sincere and tender words made her heart beat wildly. For the first time since she became a demigod, she regained the long-lost feeling in her heart... Happiness.

The previous resentment towards Rhine for neglecting her was instantly wiped away.

Etalaine's eyes averted, and she seemed a little overwhelmed by her brother's sincere confession.

Italian's heart was beating wildly: "Rhine Hein... you, what's going on with you! Suddenly you became so sweet-tongued... You must have said this to that pointy-eared person..." It’s a lot!”

Rhine's tone was still sincere: "This is not rhetoric, Xiaoyi, and you and the great mentor are not the same."

Rhine stepped forward and stared into Etalaine's beautiful, trembling eyes: "You are my only and my favorite sister."

Etalion suffered another critical hit.

Favorite......

younger sister……

Rhine...does he really miss me that way?

Does he really... care about me that much? !

Italian's face was red with embarrassment and he stammered:

"No, don't say such disgusting words..."

Italien's heart was filled with uncontrollable joy, but she couldn't even express those sincere and tender confessions:

"Anyway, tell me what you need me to do now, and I will do it for you!"
