Chapter 527: 527
Eternal Filial Son
“Where’s Kant?”
Stella asked urgently.
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Lily and the puppet had flown out from underground.
But Kant was not one of them.
He clearly knew how to teleport. He should be the first to come out.
The Second Princess quickly stepped forward and stared at Lily. How was he? Why didn’t he respond to my signal?”
Before Kant left, he had left a signal transmitter for Stella. It was a transmitter based on divine elements and could even resonate across worlds. Kant told her to press the button if anything bad happened. He would respond quickly and appear in front of her.
But now…
” He’s fighting the enemy,” Lily said slowly after a moment of silence.
” What are you doing here?” Stella was stunned at first, then she frowned.” Why are you here?” Why didn’t she stay there to help him? Do you know how much he trusts you? Now…”
Horus stood in front of Lily. Your Highness, is this the time to talk about this?”
Long Niang’s face turned green and then white. Her gaze changed intensely. Finally, she took a deep breath and said coldly,” Explain to her. I’ll report to the Dragon Emperor.”
Then, he turned around and left.
Two thousand meters underground had cut off Long Yao’s transmission. Now that she had returned to the surface, she could establish a real-time communication link with the Dragon Emperor. She wanted to inform the ruler of the Dragon Island of what had happened in the underground world.
He hoped that the old dragon, who had never lost money in business, would still make the right choice this time.
Stella was about to speak when Horus comforted her.” Calm down, Your Highness. Father is fine. Please don’t worry. I’m an alchemical life form he created. If anything dangerous happens to father, it will definitely be reflected in my soul…” Therefore, please rest assured.”
The Second Princess sniffled and suppressed her sobs.
“Then when will he be back?”
Several giant dragons broke through the steel fortress and flew into the distance. No matter how one looked at it, they were there to deliver a message. This meant that Kant’s underground journey had met with a certain degree of failure.
This meant that even if Kant was merely trapped underground, the malice, hostility, and greed of the outside world would take advantage of the situation to pressure him. When the Forbidden Spell Mages had no time to care, they would be able to achieve something.
In fact, if Kant never returned…
She couldn’t help but shiver when she thought of what had happened at that time.
Fear and unease continued to spread. The pressure that had accumulated over the past few days had completely turned into reliance and hope for Kant. That person from Aurora was becoming their last straw of hope.
” What are you talking about?” Stella asked anxiously. We… Now we…”
“Please calm down! Your Highness Stella!”
Horus’s voice rang in the Second Princess ‘ears. He had secretly studied and imitated the voice acting of the movie version of the Prime. Peter Cullen’s professional voice acting had been perfect for 30 years. It was thick, grand, calm, and magnetic. It was the voice of a leader that any monarch desired.
The advanced and efficient sensors had quickly scanned the Second Princess ‘expression, eyes, and body language, and determined her mental state at the moment.
” Please calm down, Princess Stella.” The Transformers softened his tone.” The current you is not the one my father described and trusted.”
The princess ‘eyes flickered for a moment. What?”
Humph.
Horus’s tone was calm and steady, as firm as a rock. His charming voice could involuntarily attract everyone to listen, and no one would doubt the honesty of the speaker.
He said,” When my father ordered Miss Lily and I to retreat and return to the surface, I expressed my uneasiness to him. He should be in charge of the overall situation, not fighting with the strong enemy. I was not confident, nor was I sure if I could complete my father’s task. After all, I was only a newly born mechanical life form, and the situation outside must be more complicated than I imagined.”
“Father told me not to worry.”
” He said that he must stay where he was needed the most and not take a step back because Goethe was behind him.”
” He said that there’s no need to worry about completing the mission because Princess Stella is there.”
” He said that Goethe’s second princess was a smart and brave woman, independent, mature, and as dazzling as the sun. He said that he had no doubt about your love and responsibility for Goethe, and he believed that no matter what happened, you would fight for this country to the end. You would be afraid, but you would not retreat. You would be uneasy, but you would not give up. It was because of this trust that he trusted you with the things on the surface.”
Stella listened in a daze.
Then, she said in a trembling voice,”He…” Did he really say that?”
” That’s true, my lady,” Horus said in a tone as reliable and heavy as a pillar.” I’m an alchemical lifeform. I don’t have the ability to lie. Loyalty, integrity, and not speaking lies are my default settings.”
The Second Princess’s eyes lit up and she remained silent for a long time.
” Also, Madam, Father asked me to convey his apologies to you.”
“He said he shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. He just didn’t know how to apologize, so he asked me to pass the message to him now because he was afraid…”
“.. Don’t say anymore!”
Stella raised her head like a frightened deer and interrupted Horus.
“Ma ‘am,” Horus lowered his head.
As the magic power circulated, the tears in the corner of Stella’s eyes evaporated quietly. She took a deep breath and raised her head again. She was already a noble and proud girl who was as dazzling as the sun.
“What does Kant need me to do?”she asked.
” Father needs you to use your own judgment, calmness, and wisdom to deal with the current situation,” the Transformers replied.” If necessary, I will be at your service. This is the last battle.”
Stella nodded slowly.
As a spellcaster, the fire of wisdom flashed in her mind. Fear and uneasiness receded, and calmness and calmness dominated her brain. The second princess pondered for a moment and said,” Have you encountered those dragons that escaped?”
Horus ‘visor projected light and images onto the ground.
“This is exactly what I wanted to explain to you. There are a total of seven dragons in the Dragon Tribe’s diplomatic mission. Six of them have already died. We have seen the corpses of four dragons, and the other two are confirmed to be dead.”
“But the entire Investigation Corps saw…” the Second Princess frowned.
“This is the situation that makes me feel the most uneasy.” Horus replied,” This mysterious demonic substance has many mysterious properties that allow the dead to move freely as if they were alive. According to Miss Lily, it is also a common trick of the foreign species. So the key to the question is not why they came back to life, but what is the purpose of the dragons who broke through the defense, returned to the surface, and fled.”
Stella pondered for a moment.
The Arcane Magic Council’s Life Department would revise a new manual every year to deal with foreign invasions that could happen at any time. After all, this planet was filled with the mysteries of nature and life. The soul fluctuations of extraordinary people, dense elemental phenomena, and the spiritual light of countless flesh and blood bodies would always attract greedy covetous eyes.
As the star student and the youngest teacher of the University of San Covelo, Stella was of course familiar with the rules of accommodation. She answered without hesitation,” The hosts infected by the foreign species, except for a few that are incomprehensible, mostly have a purpose.”
“There are a few types.”
” Blood sacrifice. Sacrifice a large number of lives to please and satisfy the appetite of the greedy in the void.”
” Open the door. Use a complicated and strange ritual to open the portal. Summon one or more evil lifeforms into this world to achieve the goal of invasion and devouring.”
” Slaughter stems from the tendency of extermination of the mastermind behind the scenes. Its goal is absolute destruction and destruction.
” Conspiracy. By controlling the consciousness of the host, a bloody battle will be set off between regions, countries, classes, and factions, causing a powerful country to collapse and a firm belief to collapse…And so on.”
“Other than that, there’s also…”
” Spread the word,” she said, glancing at Lily, who was standing far away with her back to her.
“Miss Lily has been fine. Father has checked her personally.”
Horus said,” She’s in contact with the Dragon Island. She’ll probably alert the dragon army in Goethe’s outer seas. We haven’t found out whether the host of the mysterious element can spread the demonic substance to other living beings, but this is indeed one of the suspects. Among the few situations you mentioned, there’s one that needs to be carefully observed because it’s also suitable for the current situation.”
Stella thought for a moment.
“Yes.”
” Tricia wants to raise the River of Origin to the sky,” Horus replied.” That’s its goal. Of course, it’s also the goal of the mastermind behind Tricia.”
“It’s about to complete its plan, but it was stopped by Father. At this moment, sending the mutated dragons to the surface should be to obtain a breakthrough from the outside. We have to guard against this possibility.”
For example, spreading lies to the various countries, saying that Kant was dead, that Kant was massacring the giant dragons below, or that Kant was trapped by the treasures buried inside…Wait, wait, wait.
If the various countries and factions could not sit still and break through Goethe’s obstruction and enter the underground world, a series of conspiracies, corruption, and plans would await them.
Hearing that, Stella seemed to have thought of something, and her body suddenly shook.
“Did you think of something?” Horus sharply noticed the change in his expression.
The Second Princess muttered,”The outer sea…” Ships from various countries…”
“Warships from various countries?” The Transformer asked in confusion. Father cast a forbidden spell in the Broken Sea Domain. Isn’t this enough to scare them?”
Stella shook her head with a bitter smile.” It’s the smaller countries and local forces who are scared. The dynasty fleet stationed in the Broken Islands also refused to set sail. Their morale is extremely low, and no one is willing to die. However, the dynasty has more than one fleet, and there is more than one base in the Broken Islands in the Western Sea.”
She sighed and continued,”After all, this temptation is too great, isn’t it?” The Empire, the Council, and Sunset Moon, as well as a few other empires and their loyal vassals, are still ordering the fleets from the Western Sea Region to move towards the Goethe Sea Region. They are only observing from the sidelines. They also believe that Kant will not use a forbidden spell unless it is absolutely necessary, because that would mean an all-out war. In the end, the so-called fear is not a one-sided fear. It is a mutual fear between Kant and the other empires, because no one will win if a forbidden spell is cast…”
“Furthermore…”
” I don’t know.” A mocking smile appeared on the Second Princess ‘lips.” It’s not the monarch and ministers who make the decision to face the risk of the Forbidden Spell and the pressure of extinction. It’s the officers and sailors at sea.”
” Also, the warship is drifting on the sea and isolated from the world. It’s very easy to block the news. I can guarantee that the sailors of the various countries who are heading to the Goethe Sea at this moment don’t know that Kant has cast a forbidden spell on the Broken Isles and set off a tsunami that can destroy any fleet in the world.”
“We have to warn them,” Horus said.
” How?” Stella smiled bitterly.” How could he make them believe him? Maybe…”
“Of course I’ll go all out.”
The Transformer said in a deep voice,” Forgive me for being blunt, but Goethe is too weak. If he wants to survive this, he can only do his best to protect himself, grit his teeth, and persevere until his father returns victorious, or rely on external forces that he can trust…”
“External force?” the Second Princess asked blankly. Other than Kant, we have no other friends.”
“Then let’s look for candidates that we can cooperate with temporarily.”
“Father has made the necessary arrangements,” Horus once again used his father’s name.
” Who?” The Second Princess ‘eyes lit up.” Who?”
“Dragons and elves,” the Transformers replied.
At this moment, Lily, who was roaring at Dragon Island in a secluded place, had finished a chat. She turned around and floated over.” I’ve informed the Dragon Emperor!”
“What do you mean?”
Lily frowned.” The Dragon Emperor wants to see the evidence. He won’t believe my words, but he promised to come. But it will take a long time to get here from Dragon Island…”
“You should have him give the order to the dragon army in Goethe’s outer seas,” Horus said.”If any of the missing dragons appear in the diplomatic mission, they should be detained immediately…”
Long Niang shook her head and said,” The Dragon Clan’s diplomatic corps are all little idiots from the Conservatives. The Dragon Clan’s army that came here to cause trouble this time is also a military force under the Conservatives. Even if the Dragon Emperor gives such an order, they won’t carry it out…” Therefore, I’m going to make a trip personally.”
She extended her hand to Horus.” Kant showed me the alchemy tool that can record time and space fragments and trace them back. Give me a copy. I want to show the evidence to the leader of the dragon army. Only then will he believe that the dragons in the diplomatic mission are long dead.”
” I’ll go with you,” the Transformers replied.” You’re injured. This operation is risky.”
Lily smiled and did not refute.” That’s great. I was wondering how to ask for help without losing my dignity.”
” What should I do?” Stella asked.
Before Horus could reply, the sky shone brightly. The high-speed gliding spellcaster controlled the Magic Wind and barely landed under the support of the Aerial Mage. The exhausted messenger took out an encrypted folder.
” Your Highness,” he said weakly,” the Governor has sent an urgent message. The navy guerilla soldiers have discovered that the fleets of various countries are heading towards Qilin’s Horn!”
