Renner Takes Action Again, Flower-Crowned Monarch Butterfly, One of the Fifteen Lords of the Great Sea of Trees

After finalizing the arrangements, the six Cardinal relaxed their nerves, which had been on edge for some time.

Although the plan to create the truly strongest "Eighth-Tier Permanent Angel" failed, the "Seventh-Tier Permanent Angel" was not affected.

That's right!

They once thought that the "Principality" was the highest-ranking Angel, but they never imagined that there was an "Eighth-Tier" Angel.

Even knowing such a secret.

The Theocracy lacked any Magic Caster Divine System magic of this caliber, forcing them to cooperate with the Holy Kingdom and utilize the power of the Chief Priest Kelart, to perform the "Great Ritual."

so.

To summon the "Eighth-Tier Angel," you must join forces with the Holy Kingdom.

"Those filthy Forest Elf!"

"You despicable traitor!"

At the conference table, the voices of two Cardinal, filled with intense hostility, rang out.

"Don't worry, everyone."

"We have already built a base near New Moon Lake, the location of the Elf King's capital."

"As long as the Permanent Principality, possessing power at the level of Demon Gods, is dispatched, the arrogant Forest Elf will be unable to stop them."

No!

There's one more major problem.

The Cardinal was not so worried; the thought of "that child" gave everyone present a sense of reassurance.

Especially after the "Evil Tree Incident"!

There were indeed irregularities, such as going to the Great Forest of Tob without authorization, but it wasn't such an action.

The [Black Scripture] will be completely annihilated by the enemy.

Even the God-kin Captain could be captured alive by the enemy, and the losses from the Legacy of the Six Great Gods are incalculable.

Even now, with most of the members of [The Black Scripture] dead once, and Lady Kaire completely dead, the overall national strength of the country has already weakened.

If it weren't for the existence of the Permanent Angel with "Demon Gods power," it would have taken the nation several years, even decades, to make up for this loss alone.

"That child..."

The Cardinal of Water Zinedine, gave a bitter smile as he spoke, "What are we doing now?"

Because of her appearance, the elderly often mistake her for a child, even though she is actually older than everyone present.

"The same as usual."

The Cardinal of Fire Berenice responded softly.

"... Yes, it also gives her a chance to avenge her mother."

"Honestly, I really want to complain to the Cardinal at the time, how could they have raised her into that kind of person?"

"The real culprits are those forest barbarians!"

After the Cardinal finished discussing important matters, they exchanged a few words, explaining why everyone was so eager to prepare for war against the Elf Country.

It's not just to prevent the possibility of fighting on two fronts in the future, but also because after the "Evil Tree Incident," the existence of the Zesshi Zetsumei has become increasingly important to the entire Theocracy and to humanity.

"Reconsider!"

"Reconsider!"

"...!"

"Repay... kindness?"

Just as the Cardinal were about to raise their hands to pass, the glasses on the nose of the Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian suddenly emitted a blue light.

This situation attracted everyone's attention.

"Wait a mininute."

The Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian frowned, quickly stood up, and left the meeting room.

About ten minutes.

The Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian returned to the conference room.

Seeing his serious expression, the other Cardinal couldn't help but tense up again.

"There's bad news."

The Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian, quickly reporting to everyone present the intelligence relayed by spies within the Kingdom:

"The Kingdom's first prince, Barbro, was suddenly attacked and seriously injured, but he has been rescued from danger."

Upon hearing this,

The other Cardinal exchanged glances, some looking thoughtful, others puzzled, but none spoke.

The Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian clearly had more to say.

The attack on the Kingdom's prince was a major event in the Kingdom Ri Yesteje, but it was nothing to their Theocracy.

Not to mention!

Even if severely injured, with Healing Magic and various healing potions available, a person won't die; they might even be lively and energetic again after a while.

Even in death, the first prince was no ordinary person, but a Warrior of considerable strength who could be resurrected through "Resurrection Magic".

In short, it's nothing serious.

Princess Renner, known as the "Golden Princess" of the Kingdom, has been sent as an Council State, escorted by a small team led by General Lainas and Warrior Captain Gazef.

The Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian then spoke, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the conference room.

"An envoy to Council State? I must have heard that right!"

"Do the people of the Kingdom suspect that the prince's attack was retaliation by the empire?"

"What a joke! Even so, why send Council State to request their help?"

"They didn't just win a big victory!"

In an instant, the Cardinal were arguing amongst themselves.

This is a very serious incident. To put it mildly, it gives the Council State Kingdom an opportunity to interfere in other countries' affairs. To put it more seriously, it gives the Council State, a terrible enemy, an opportunity to interfere in human affairs!

"Cough cough!"

The Cardinal of Water Zinedine coughed heavily, silencing the noise. "First, we need to clarify a few things!"

Why would the Kingdom take such action?

"Was the attack on the First Prince related to the Empire?"

Why was Princess Renner sent instead?

Three questions were posed, prompting each of the Cardinal in the conference room to ponder.

The people present were all at the top of the nation's hierarchy, and were also intelligent; they quickly came up with their own answers to the questions before them.

The Cardinal of Earth Raymond said coldly, "These corrupt fools are probably worried about the Empire's retaliation, even with the emergence of powerful figures like Lainas and Gazef who can significantly enhance the nation's strength."

"In terms of overall national strength, the Empire still far surpasses the Kingdom. Once that guardian deity of the Empire makes a move, Lainas and her companion will be utterly unable to withstand it!"

"That's right." The Cardinal of Wind Dominic nodded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"The attack on the First Prince was probably not carried out by the Empire. It would not benefit the Empire in any way, nor is it in line with the style of that Blood Emperor."

"Was it the work of the Nobles' Faction? Or was there something wrong with the Royalist Faction itself? Or perhaps someone just lost their mind!"

The Cardinal of Fire Berenice's eyes crinkled with wrinkles as she gave a cold, Taunt: "Those fools in the Kingdom!"

This is a cold description.

This caused all the Cardinal present to show their disgust for the Kingdom itself.

"The question is! Why send that 'Golden' Princess?!" Light Cardinal Yvon asked without any emotion.

This is the issue that everyone is concerned about!

The title "Golden" is not only a description of Princess Renner's beauty, but also a compliment to her wisdom.

In this Kingdom, a country riddled with holes, Princess Renner's intelligence had already attracted the attention of the Theocracy.

only.

It was once merely at the level of "attention".

It's not that they don't value it; it's because of Princess Renner's status that the other party is like a caged canary or a pretty vase.

"Canary" and "Vase"!

This assessment implies that Princess Renner, whether she likes it or not, can only exist as an appendage.

Her only value was probably representing the Royal Family in a marriage alliance with a high-ranking nobleman.

"Escorted by Lainas and Gazef, representing the Kingdom's upper echelons in supporting this move—damn it! These idiots have been convinced!"

The Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his face grim. "That traitor, Lainas, has joined Princess Renner's ranks and now enjoys immense prestige."

"This 'Golden' Princess has already amassed enough power to attract the attention of the Royal Family and various noble families."

The other Cardinal also looked grim!

Cooperating with the Council State is not actually a good choice for the Kingdom; the top priority for cooperation should be the Slane Theocracy.

The Kingdom didn't even bother with a probing move, directly choosing to Council State. If other members of the Kingdom were to push this forward, Cardinal wouldn't be worried.

pity.

She is the "Golden" Princess, renowned for her wisdom!

"Considering the worst-case scenario, Princess Renner may have sensed our hostility towards the Kingdom."

Only then will the choice of "Council State" be made directly.

The Cardinal of Earth Raymond frowned and spoke sternly, "If the Council State and the Kingdom reach a cooperation agreement..."

The atmosphere froze instantly!

With a "bang".

"We must resolve the problem of the Elf Country as soon as possible!" The Cardinal of Wind Dominic stood up and slammed his hand on the table.

--The Great Forest of Evasha.

Located south of the Abelion Hills and the Slane Theocracy, it is a vast, boundless sea of forests, far exceeding the size of the Great Forest of Tob.

Its area is even larger than the entire Abelion Hills!

"Forest Rain Tribe"

This is a Forest Elf village with about a hundred people, a rather unique village among the many Elf villages in the entire Great Sea of Trees.

Although the population may seem small, it is actually considered to be of medium to large population among the many Forest Elf villages.

Elf have a lifespan of about a thousand years. Except for the first ten years after birth when they develop rapidly, they only age rapidly in the last ten years of their lives.

This results in most Elf having little concept of time.

early morning.

The thin mist in the forest clung to the leaves, turning into dew that dripped from the leaves along their fine veins.

Smack

A slender hand gently presses against the brown bark, while long, supple limbs stand steadily on the branch, gazing into the distance.

"This place is huge!"

Imina's two purple ponytails swayed behind her as she moved her head, her amber eyes constantly gazing into the distance.

pity.

Apart from the lush trees, there was nothing else to see. She suddenly felt that coming here might not have been a good choice.

"Should we go home and check on things?"

The man's words kept replaying in my mind.

Imina pursed her lips, raised her hands, and slung the strange, box-shaped weapon over her shoulder, her eyes fixed on the glass plate above it.

This allows you to see much farther, almost like some kind of magic called "eagle eye"!

"Strangeness."

Imina muttered something, a hint of wariness appearing in her eyes. She put down her weapon and nimbly leaped and moved through the forest.

Although this is my first time here.

Imina, however, did not feel unfamiliar; on the contrary, she felt an indescribable sense of naturalness, which she could only attribute to her Elf bloodline.

As Half-Elf born from the union of a human and Elf, Imina was already accustomed to the different gazes of humans.

Imina didn't actually care whether the Forest Elf would also have the same gaze or attitude.

The purpose of coming here first.

It was probably just because of that man and a bit of curiosity.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Imina's nimble, slender figure leaped forward between the intertwined branches, her body rustling softly as she brushed against the leaves.

A skilled Scout is not only strong in archery skills, but also in keen senses.

Ever since entering this jungle area, Imina has had a faint feeling that she is being watched by some kind of gaze.

She wasn't sure if it was Forest Elf or some kind of mysterious monster living in this forest!

As we keep moving forward!

Imina's amber eyes immediately noticed that some bright flowers seemed to be appearing in the surrounding forest.

"I've never heard of Forest Elf liking to grow flowers."

Imina muttered to herself, "Maybe it's just the behavior of some flower-loving Elf."

This unusual situation heightened her vigilance once again!

The various countries had no detailed information about this "Great Forest of Evasha," and even the information they obtained from that man was very limited.

Imina pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the back of her hand on the glove, where there was a spell called "Magic Mark".

If danger arises, you can use magic to activate it!

Then the man will appear.

But!

"Snort."

Imina gave a soft snort, turned her gaze back to the front, and continued forward without slowing her pace.

She won't lose to that woman Lainas!

More and more flowers appeared, and the bright and exotic flowers of various colors gradually began to merge into one, eventually forming a huge sea of flowers in front of the field of vision.

Such a beautiful view!

Imina was visibly taken aback; the fragrance of flowers in the air and the dazzling blooms made her eyes and mind slightly dizzy.

"Poisonous...!"

Imina was always vigilant. The moment she noticed something was wrong with herself, she immediately took out a vial of potion from the magic belt hanging at her waist and drank it.

The dizziness gradually subsided!

"What is that?!"

Imina raised her arm, rubbed her eyes, and her pink lips parted involuntarily, a look of astonishment gradually appearing on her face.

And there it was!

In the very center of the sea of flowers ahead, there is a butterfly of enormous size, breathtakingly beautiful.

Its wings are colorful and covered with complex and dizzying patterns; the wingspan alone is nearly five meters long.

On its head is a crown-like structure made of crystal-like flowers, and it lies quietly in the center of the sea of flowers.

Such a gigantic monster!

Imina, not believing she hadn't noticed as she approached, gripped her magical spear tightly, her expression Lancer. "Is the pollen not only poisonous, but it can also produce some kind of hallucination?"

This is a gigantic monster!

It is none other than the Flower-Crowned Monarch Butterfly, one of the Fifteen Lords of the Great Sea of Trees!
