Gu Xi's Explosive Growth

"What a pity!"

Hearing the Empress's words, Gu Xi couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Xi felt somewhat emotional about Grand Princess Anna's situation.

She is clearly a genuine British Princess, and she has risked her life three times for Britain.

As a result, to save face for Britain, it was replaced by a fake that Gu Xi brought out from the dungeon.

Gu Xi thought that if he could help, he should, so as not to feel guilty.

But then they received this news from the Empress.

Suddenly, Gu Xi felt as if a piece of her heart had collapsed, and she felt uneasy no matter what she did.

However, at this moment, the Empress said something else.

"If you want to save her, you can try a different approach."

Gu Xi looked at the Empress with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, the Queen smiled and said, "It's still a ceremony, but this time it's a substitute ceremony. Before the ceremony begins, you need to find a princess."

At this point, the Empress looked at Gu Xi, and recalling Gu Xi's identity, added a sentence.

"Alive, preferably alive before the ceremony begins."

Gu Xi pondered for a moment, then decisively said, "Yes!"

This surprised the Empress.

Although in the world of fairy tales, no matter what kind of family it is, it can produce a queen or princess.

But a princess would never be like Gu Xi, who could just casually pull out someone to serve as a sacrifice.

"You should think carefully before you answer. As I just said, once some rituals start, they can't be stopped."

"That's true."

Gu Xi could say that with certainty.

Hearing Gu Xi speak so confidently, the Empress said to Gu Xi, "Alright, then I'll believe you this once. This time we're going to perform a substitution ceremony, using this princess to replace the Grand Princess you mentioned for her final resurrection."

Turn this Grand Princess into a corpse with one more chance to be resurrected.

As for whether you can bring Grand Princess Anna back to life, that depends on your own abilities.

Now I will describe the process of the ritual. This alternative ritual is something I learned from a Seafolk Witch.

She used it on the black Black Catfish Spirit in her family, hoping to turn it into a princess and have it fall in love with Prince.

However, something went wrong during the final ritual. The Black Catfish Spirit failed and eventually turned into Pao Pao and disappeared into the sea.

Regarding Grand Princess Anna, whom you mentioned, the matter of replacing the princess you spoke of should proceed smoothly, because the inability to speak at the start of the ceremony and the feeling of walking on knives are meaningless to the dead.

The Empress then explained the details of the ceremony to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi listened attentively and quickly took out Record Paper to record every step of the ceremony.

When the Empress was explaining, she would also glance back at the ritual steps recorded by Gu Xi, and if there was any problem, she would immediately point it out.

After recording everything, the Queen said to Gu Xi, "Remember, once the ceremony begins, it cannot be stopped. Moreover, Grand Princess Anna only has one chance to substitute for the ceremony. If the ceremony fails, she will turn into a bubble and disappear."

So don't make mistakes.

Gu Xi nodded seriously and put the Record Paper away.

The Empress glanced at Gu Xi. "What, aren't you going to deal with it now? I can only stay here for one day. If you rush over now and something goes wrong..."

"If something goes wrong, you can't save it, right? So I might as well take this opportunity to ask you more questions. By the way, you're a potion master, can you tell me how to prepare this liquid?"

Gu Xi took out the [Water of Order] and placed it in front of the Queen.

The queen opened the bottle and was immediately struck by the Death Aura emanating from it.

However, she immediately saw what was behind the Death Aura.

"This is a liquid formed from the condensation of the power of order. It is not a type of potion. It is considered part of the condensation of magical power. I cannot help you with this."

However, the Empress had already helped Gu Xi.

Her pointing out the situation with the [Water of Order] had already done Gu Xi a great favor.

Once Gu Xi knew what it was, he could think of a corresponding substitute.

Afterwards, Gu Xi brought up some magical questions that he didn't quite understand and asked the Queen for advice.

Just as Gu Xi said, the ceremony only has one chance. No matter when it starts, if it succeeds, it succeeds; if it fails, even if the empress is there, there is nothing that can be done.

It would be better to simply ask about the things you don't know first.

It's rare to see a Fairy Tale Character with advanced magical abilities appear. If we don't take this opportunity to fill in the gaps in our knowledge, when will we ever get another chance?

So Gu Xi spent the next period of time studying in the library.

He didn't inquire about Luna's battle situation, nor did he return to the Wudou Family.

He spent the entire day in the library, and even his food was brought from the tavern.

The only thing that reminded Gu Xi that he was still in the world of the Bailian Grand Ceremony was the notification that popped up on the morning of the third day.

This is what pulled Gu Xi out of her frantic studying.

A new day begins; let's now settle yesterday's information:

Bailian City: 319 players, 109 died or quit, ranked 1st on the Leaderboard.

Cold Leaf City: 320 players, 235 died or quit, 85 ranked on the Leaderboard.

Autumn Wind City: 320 players, 244 died or quit, ranked 76th on the Leaderboard.

This reminder told Gu Xi that the night of the second day had passed, and it was now the third day of their Bailian Grand Ceremony.

"According to the data, they fought very hard last night."

Gu Xi pressed his temples and couldn't help but say something.

Why is it so amazing?

The Empress, who was explaining the situation to Gu Xi, raised her head and looked at Gu Xi.

She never expected that Gu Xi would be so obsessed with studying.

"It's nothing. Now is not the time to talk about this. I still have some energy, so I can study instead."

Gu Xi did not explain what he knew to the Empress, but quickly changed the subject to the knowledge he was learning.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

When the Empress's existence time reached zero, Gu Xi put down the book in his hand, stood up and spoke to the Empress.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"No need to thank me, it's all thanks to your own hard work. I hope to see you again next time. By the way, I think this will be useful to you, so it's a gift for you."

As the queen spoke, she placed a small bottle containing a drop of blood on the table.

"How did you know..."

"Please do not underestimate the abilities of a Witch is skilled in divination. I will need your help in the future, and I hope you will not hesitate to lend a hand then."

"I will!"

Gu Xi stood up and watched the Empress leave.

Only after the Empress had completely disappeared did he sit down at the library table and examine the results of his hard work over the past day and night.

Besides his Magic Knowledge reaching level 7, he also learned three other things that weren't really related to the undead.
