124. Gift of the Blood Queen (1/2)

Prince Regent Hamilton has been restless since he came out of the Moonlight King's study.

Hamilton is not a fool. In fact, since the day the Grand Master brought Alice back to the capital, he has not felt threatened.

But his own end is coming.

No matter how arrogant he is, he will never think that he, a mere regent, can be compared with the Moonlight Queen who has ruled Leta for thousands of years.

White Light Courtyard will not consolidate its authority and emphasize its sense of existence through coronation ceremonies that are destined to be unsuccessful.

The Prince Regent knew it from the beginning.

The child they brought back must be the next Moonlight King.

She is the direct grandson of the previous generation of regent, and has the oldest surname in the royal court - Philemon.

She is the destined true king of all but Hamilton.

And Rhine's sharp words made Hamilton recall again the fact that he had deliberately forgotten, a fact that made him collapse.

His death is approaching.

Today, he scolded his wife and daughter again for a trivial matter at the dinner table.

Looking at his two daughters and the numb eyes of his young wife, he became even more angry. He resisted the urge to overturn the table and smash everything in front of him, and left the restaurant.

At night, the regent became even more irritable, and his heart was almost crushed by the weight of a mountain.

He lay in bed alone, tossing and turning, and stayed awake all night.

He must find a way out for himself.

escape?

Can he escape?

Once he loses his power, the countdown to liquidation of the grievances he has forged over the years will begin.

For the regent, it was the most terrifying end.

It was even a hundred times more tragic than dying at the hands of the Moonlight King.

After all, his political opponent in the royal court was much more vicious and perverted than an innocent and kind-hearted girl.

For Hamilton, escape was impossible. He could either remain regent or die.

It's just a different way of dying.

So, keep fighting Alice?

But what cards does he have that he can play?

It seemed that there was only one choice left before him.

His son, Sebastian.

The regent had no choice but to wake him up, bring him back from the earth, and crown him as the new Moonlight King.

Only in this way can he truly defeat Alice.

However……

The Regent was lying on the bed. He gritted his teeth, but his body was shaking unconsciously.

He can wake up Eve Bastine.

He knows how to wake up.

But... he knows better what price this will cost.

In order to resurrect his son, he had to sacrifice many things and take huge risks!

And, the hatred from Eve Bastine.

Sebastian would never want to be resurrected.

During the White Tower incident, Sebastian sacrificed himself to the earth and merged with it. From then on, the earth inherited his malice towards the Crystal Seat and cursed the ruler of the Heine Empire with him.

He in the earth has infinite lifespan and can never be killed.

In this way, the curse of the Crystal Seat will never be lifted.

but……

If the regent extracted Eve Bastine from the earth, everything would be different.

Sebastian might die of old age, might be killed, and his curse would no longer be perfect.

He was thinking that the Hein Empire would lift the curse and regain prosperity in exchange for his own survival!

The regent couldn't make up his mind... Even if his life was on the other side of the scale, he still couldn't make a decision.

that's all,

The Prince Regent spent a torturous night.

On the second day, the extremely haggard Regent walked out of bed in a state of confusion.

After a night of deep thought, he still couldn't make a decision.

However……

There is always a way out.

The regent's luck was better than he imagined.

When he was at the end of his rope and indecisive in pain... an unexpected trump card was presented to him in vain.

.

"A mortal who defeated a demigod?"

Facing the communication magic device.

The regent listened to the urgent report from the northern garrison representative, and he only felt that it was extremely absurd.

The high-purity Luna bloodline, the elite education that a noble received since childhood, and the fact that he spent many years fighting in battles when he was young.

The Regent became the strongest group of warriors in Leta besides the demigods.

Therefore, no one knows better than him how stupid the words of these garrison troops are.

The descendants of gods who have obtained divinity through rituals have long since broken away from the category of human beings and become false gods walking in the world.

A mortal, even if he exhausted all possibilities, would never be able to defeat even the weakest demigod.

However.

What’s worse is yet to come.

Regent: "So, which instructor in the White Light Courtyard was tricked?"

Northern Garrison: "It was not our mentor who was defeated."

Regent: "That's..."

Northern garrison: "It's Hestia."

Regent:"……?"

When the regent heard this, he fell silent.

After a moment of silence, there was uncontrollable rage.

The regent gritted his teeth: "Are you looking for death?! Come and tease me now, listen carefully - I haven't fallen yet!!"

It's already a joke for a mortal to defeat a demigod.

However, now this guy actually said that there is a mortal who defeated the strongest demigod who stands on the ceiling of mortal combat power? !

Even if it's just a joke, there has to be a limit, right? !

The northern garrison was very frightened: "No... this is definitely not a joke, my subordinates never meant it like this!"

Regent: "Then what evidence do you have? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Northern Garrison: "Yes..."

Prince Regent: "Yes?"

Northern Garrison: "The divine fluctuation that broke out in Hestia was stronger than God. We immediately dispatched dragoons to investigate the scene, and then...the dragoons saw that scene..."

Northern Garrison: "A woman holding a pair of swords did not use magic or release her divinity. She just used a set of strange movements to pass through the forbidden spell bombardment and came to Hestia. Slit Hestia's throat smoothly!"

Northern Garrison: "In the end...she made Hestia willing to admit defeat."

Regent:"……"

To be honest, the regent didn't believe a word of what the garrison said.

But their panicked tone certainly didn't sound like they were joking.

so……

"Why are you reporting this to me?"

The regent asked coldly:

"What does the Hein Forbidden Army's affair have to do with us?"

Northern Garrison: "This is the point, Your Excellency."

The voice of the northern garrison was serious: "Histia's forbidden spell bombing killed the reconnaissance dragon cavalry. We have just rescued a survivor and regained consciousness. Your Excellency, after that woman defeated Hestia, she asked Histia opened a portal and sent her to the royal capital! "

The Prince Regent was furious: "You should have said this at the beginning! You idiot!"

.

A mysterious man who is said to have defeated Hestia, the strongest demigod, arrived in the capital.

No matter how credible this matter is, the royal court officials must pay attention to it immediately.

After investigation, it was found that there were indeed slight spatial fluctuations in the capital yesterday.

In terms of time, it can correspond to the report of the northern garrison.

Hestia was very considerate, and the space cracks she created made so little movement that almost no one noticed.

So.

How to deal with this special invasion?

Normally, the regent would be too lazy to pay attention to such ridiculous things, but now, having been cornered, he had a bold idea... He wanted to meet the woman who was said to have defeated Hestia. .

After all, if you think about it…

A strong mortal who can defeat Histia.

Isn't this a wonderful chess piece? !

After learning about the woman's appearance from the northern garrison, the regent sent a law enforcement team to search the entire city.

The result of the search was surprisingly smooth.

That afternoon, the law enforcement team brought the woman to the Regent.

This is an extremely beautiful young woman. Even without the blessing of divinity, she still has an unforgettable beauty.

Her long, satin-like black hair was simply tied behind her head, her soft facial features, clear eyes, and a simple black robe could not hide her slim and enchanting figure.

Her facial features reminded the regent of those Yincang people living in the east.

Behind her, there were two slender straight knives of different lengths, one black and one white, hanging on her back and waist respectively.

This is her only weapon.

As a mortal warrior who could defeat demigods, she did not wear armor or enchanted robes. She only had two mortal iron weapons with no magic response... This surprised the regent.

As for this woman, her first impression on the Regent was...

docile.

Her eyes were clear and flawless, pure and untainted by a trace of dust, and there was a soft smile on her face, polite and gentle.

The overall feeling is that of docility and no aggression.

but……

Then, as he continued to look at this woman, the regent felt something strange.

The longer his eyes stayed on her body,

The Prince Regent felt that his soul was boiling violently, as if it had been ignited, and all kinds of intense emotions could not help but surge.

Something's wrong...

There is something wrong with this woman.

The regent vaguely understood something. This terrifying infectious power that can burn the soul comes from...

"Please be careful, my lord."

At this time, the law enforcement team on the side reminded in a low voice:

"After our testing, this young lady has extremely high levels of corruption in the Netherworld."

Corruption in the Netherland...

Sure enough.

The Prince Regent nodded.

He looked at the woman and felt a sense of disgust: "...Degenerate."

The dark-haired beauty responded with a generous smile.

She admitted it.

"May I have your name?"

"Weilin, Your Highness the Regent."

"Where are you from?"

"A homeless pilgrim."

"Why come to Leta?"

"I am undergoing my trial, Your Highness the Regent."

"So you defeated Histia?"

"Yes...I have indeed been approved by Miss Hestia."

After a quick series of questions and answers.

The regent roughly understood the current situation.

Trial...

It's really crazy to challenge the strongest demigod in the world as a test.

But aren’t cultists just a bunch of lunatics?

Then here comes the problem.

Since this woman named Vaelin's trial was to challenge Histia, now that she has defeated Histia, what does she want to do in Leta?

etc……

Could it be that……

The regent suddenly thought of something and became excited:

"You have defeated Histia, is your trial not over yet?"

Wei Lin nodded lightly and said in a pious tone: "That's it, Your Highness the Regent, I still need to challenge more enemies. Only in this way can I please the Supreme Being and get her attention... This is me On a pilgrimage, Your Majesty the Regent, I am collecting heads and blood to sacrifice to my gods.”

ha!

Sure enough!

The regent's ecstasy could hardly be concealed.

He already knew why this woman was teleported to the capital of Leta!

Regent: "Your target is Electra Lucia!"

Wei Lin still had a smile on her face: "Exactly."

Electra Lucia.

As the strongest elf demigod, it is said that her strength is on par with Histia.

If the cultist in front of him could use unknown means to defeat Histia.

Then she,

Naturally, the target of hunting will be shifted to Electra Lucia, who has the same strength as Hestia!

Perfect! !

The current regent is worried about how to suppress Alice's group.

And this woman named Wei Lin gave the Prince Regent new hope!

"Miss Wei Lin..."

The regent's tone became much softer:

"This is the royal capital of Leta. It is the most heavily defended place in the entire country. Not only is Electra sitting here, but our future Moonlight King and four demigod mentors are always monitoring this place."

The Prince Regent gave sincere advice:

"If you want to fight Electra one on one, then let me tell you, it is almost impossible...unless you have my assistance."

Wei Lin's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise:

"His Royal Highness the Regent actually wants to help me?"

The regent smiled: "Yes, but I need to confirm your strength first."

Grand Master Electra, a loyal supporter of the Moon King, should the Regent wish to overthrow Alys, or support another Moon King.

Electra will become a stumbling block for him.

In this case, at this critical moment, the regent is naturally happy to get rid of her!

The appearance of Wei Lin is undoubtedly an opportunity, a good opportunity given to him by the goddess of compassion! !

However……

The Prince Regent had another doubt.

That is until now.

The regent still didn't know the worth of this woman named Wei Lin.

Even now he can't believe it,

A mortal can defeat an invincible demigod, and that's Hestia!

Regent: "Miss Wei Lin, Leta's great mentor is not easy to deal with. You at least want me to see that you have the strength to challenge her, right?"

Wei Lin had no objection to the Regent's idea: "You are right, so how do you want to confirm it, Your Highness the Regent?"

"It's easy, come and fight me."

The regent stood up and pulled out the mithril sword from his waist.

Before Hamilton became regent, he was first of all a veteran who had been on the battlefield for more than twenty years.

Of course he couldn't defeat the demigod.

But under the demigods, he is almost invincible!

He is qualified to give Wei Lin a trial.

And the other side.

When Weilin mentioned the word "duel", the expression on her face changed instantly.

A gentle and charming black-haired beauty, with beast-like enthusiasm bursting out of her eyes.

Wei Lin looked directly at the Regent, her voice became a little crazy: "Your Highness the Regent, are you saying... do you want to be my prey?"

"Whatever you say, you just-?!!"

However, the regent was not finished yet.

A gust of wind suddenly blew past him.

After a flash.

Vaelin had disappeared from the Regent's eyes.

Um……?

The regent was stunned.

He was confused, what happened?

But the next time, the regent discovered to his horror that for some reason, he couldn't breathe!

He wanted to say something, but...

"Ho...ho..."

The regent's words turned into comical screams, and then he realized that blood was spurting crazily from his neck.

When he touched his neck with violently trembling hands, he felt a huge gap that tore his throat and arteries.

Plop!

The regent's eyes widened ferociously, and he knelt on the ground, trying in vain to cover the wound. However, blood still spurted out crazily, staining the entire wall red.

Behind the Regent.

Wei Lin calmly sheathed the black knife.

No one in the entire scene could see clearly when she pulled out the knife.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The law enforcement team on the side was horrified, but they did not dare to step forward.

Unexpectedly... this cultist actually slit the regent's throat with just one blow.

There is no confrontation between ourselves and the enemy, no collision of technologies.

Everything was over the moment it started.

The regent's eyes could not even clearly see Wei Lin's attack movements, but she had already killed her as easily as a pig.

The regent was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in despair, and he couldn't help screaming.

At this time, Wei Lin walked in front of him.

She was still smiling: "I wonder if this result will satisfy you? Your Highness the Regent."

But then, she suddenly realized something.

"Oh, by the way, you are dying. I'm so sorry..."

Weilin pulled out the white short knife from her waist again and stabbed the regent on the head.

The short knife easily pierced the regent's skull and penetrated the brain. The regent fell silent instantly.

But the next moment...

Something strange happened.

As if going back in time, the cut wound on the Regent's neck began to heal at an alarming speed.

The arteries that were spurting out blood were quickly connected at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood that was then lost was also produced out of thin air in the body of the Regent, allowing him to get rid of the blood loss.

Then Weilin pulled out the white dagger from the regent's brain. As the blade withdrew a little, the pierced brain tissue was repaired.

And when Weilin inserted the short knife into the scabbard.

The Prince Regent recovered as before. He opened his eyes in horror. His head was covered in cold sweat and he began to gasp for breath.

He came back to life...

His throat was cut, his head was stabbed, and then he was completely healed almost instantly, as if nothing had happened.

The regent realized many things during this moment of duel...

Just now Wei Lin was healing herself.

No magic was used.

The method she used was a technique that touched the root more deeply, as if life and death itself were in her hands.

Weird...

The regent has never heard of any evil god who has the power to control life and death!

this moment,

The regent finally understood why this woman could challenge Histia.

She does not have divinity, nor does she have any divine creation used to forcibly increase her strength...

But this guy has another power system that is completely unfamiliar to the Regent.

"You didn't heal me... but you reversed my life and death. This is an ability that even the gods don't have..."

The regent was shocked:

"Before you fell...who were you?!"

"That's not important, Your Highness the Regent."

After the battle, the ferociousness revealed in an instant was quickly covered up.

Wei Lin's face was still full of a kind smile, as gentle as water:

"Now I have given up the past. I have a new soul and a new mission. Now I will dedicate everything to the lighthouse in my heart and execute all the orders she has given me... for My supreme goddess.”

There was extremely pure piety in Weilin's eyes. When she mentioned the Supreme, her heart returned to peace and she was no longer tormented by the past and present.

She told the regent the sacred name.

"Queen of Blood...Justice."
