"Because he's not in the Western Territory, you can't get there in time."

"Where is he?"

"Inside the castle of the Lotte Royal City."

"Huh?!" Jonathan was stunned. "Didn't he go back to the Western Territory with Magana? How did he end up there? And why do you know all this? Why did Ryan tell you but not me?"

To be honest, Jonathan thinks his relationship with Ryan is no worse than that of 'Lin Qi' and Ryan, right?

How about getting to know my best buddy, my good brother, and my former boss?

"I don't know, go ask him." 'Lin Qi' remained cool and didn't bother to say more.

"Then why should I trust you? What if you cheat me?"

"Believe it or not," Lin Qi said.

"I'm so angry..."

Jonathan scratched his head. "What a bunch of lunatics! Although he knew 'Lin Qi' was like this, she's still so hard to get along with. Aren't the Saintess of Gate of Janus supposed to be kind, lovely, and sweet-looking?"

Just then, 'Lin Qi' activated the ritual and began reciting the incantation.

As Silent Nun, the Singer's job was naturally easy for her to handle.

Jonathan's lips twitched slightly. Good grief, so you never intended to ask for my opinion, did you?

Should I go or not? I should go. If it were a setup to frame him, there would be no need to be so blatant, right? Besides, there's no point in 'Lin Qi' harming him.

He has nothing left but this handsome face.

Whoosh!

The silvery-gray light converged into a huge, visible vortex on the array.

"Alright," Lin Qi said calmly. "We'll see Ryan once we go inside."

After saying that, he turned to leave, looking like an NPC completing a task.

"Um..." Jonathan opened his mouth, "I'll ask anyway, do you know why Ryan contacted me?"

Lin Qi paused in her steps. "I'm here to get you to fight."

Well, to prevent being unable to handle Monica at a crucial moment, we brought in our old boss as an extra layer of insurance. Anyway, the Burning Covenant has resumed normal operation, and Jonathan hasn't been doing much in Baron lately, so we might as well bring him over to work.

"Alright."

Jonathan shrugged, then put his hands in his pockets and walked into the vortex.

He could naturally tell that this was an entrance to a Chaos Space, so if he went in, he could come out on the other side and see Ryan... Hmm?

Swish~~

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

What came into view was a gloomy land, with the Chaos Power lingering in the air clearly visible, and... Jonathan looked around and saw the 'Demon Legion' constantly approaching him, a stranger, and couldn't help but curse.

This isn't the Lotte Royal City, this is clearly the Chaos Space!

"Damn it! Ryan got me killed!!!"

"Strange, why hasn't Old Joe arrived yet?"

Lotte Royal City.

Night.

Ryan lay on the bed and checked 'Lin Qi's' AFK history. It had been two hours since 'Lin Qi' sent Old Joe over. With the teleportation speed of the Chaos Space, they should have arrived by now, right?

Is there something wrong with the teleportation point?

That shouldn't be the case either.

?○?②8⑼8

'Opening the passage to the castle of the Lotte Royal City', there shouldn't be any problem with that, right? As for why not choose Ryan's side, well, the latter also has a right to privacy. What if he suddenly gets a message while he's discussing state affairs with Amabena?

The ceremony is fine.

He also personally verified the teleportation function.

As for what exactly went wrong...

"Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep."

With Old Joe's abilities, there shouldn't be any major problems. Anyway, 'Lin Qi' has already given us the exact location. If the information gets off track, it shouldn't take too long for him to get here... right?

"Please don't let anything happen."

Ryan muttered something to himself, then fell asleep.

After two nights of this, he really needs a good rest, so he won't inject Amabena with the gene seed tonight.

The next day.

Jonathan still didn't show up, but Monica arrived right on time and talked to Amabena about signing the alliance agreement.

But unsurprisingly, the alliance ultimately failed to reach an agreement.

However, Monica didn't press the matter this time because Elvian had given her other instructions.

"Rider Ryder, I'm quite interested in the culture of Silvermoon City. Could you show me around the city?" Monica asked as noon approached.

"Oh? Of course." Ryan chuckled. "I happen to have traveled to many places and have quite a bit of knowledge about local customs and cultures."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Rider."

"Then, Queen Majesty, I will accompany Ms. Monica on her trip."

"Go on, go on, remember to come back for dinner~"

Amabena waved generously.

Monica was puzzled. What exactly was the relationship between Rider and Amabena? It seemed like Rider was the master, and Amabena was the servant.

Filled with doubt, the two left the castle.

After walking for a short while, Monica looked around and then whispered, "Rider Ryder, His Your Majesty wishes to see you."

"Your Majesty?" Ryan was taken aback. "Which Your Majesty?"

"Queen Elvian."

"Her? What does she want with me?"

"I don't know, my mission is to get you there." After saying that, Monica touched the sword hanging at her waist, as if to say that if you don't come with me, I'm going to draw my sword.

Ryan raised his hands. "No, Lady Monica, I didn't say I wouldn't see you."

"Hmph~ You're smart to know what's good for you."

Monica glanced around. "Come with me."

After walking out of the main road outside the castle, Monica led Ryan to a pre-prepared room. She activated the relic, and Elvian appeared in front of them.

"Step back, Monica."

Monica bowed slightly, then went outside for some fresh air.

"Oh, Queen Majesty!" Ryan exclaimed in surprise. "Is it really you? When Miss Monica told me this just now, I thought she was lying to me!"

"Rider." Elvian leaned back on her throne and sneered, "You are truly a good subject of mine."

"Does Queen Majesty know me?"

"Tell me, are you a Wilde?"

"I... right?"

Ryan thought to himself, 'Avril's' birth point is in Wilderia, so he should be included too, which makes sense, right?

"Ha~ You dare to admit it." Elvian said coldly, "As a Wilderian, you are willing to risk your life for the Kingdom of Lotte and hinder Wilderian's plans. Do you know your crime!"

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Ryan cried out. "I had no idea that Amabena was the king at first. I met her on a journey and later found out that she was the king. Amabena asked me to help her and said that she would make me a duke after it was done."

Ryan looked completely innocent. "I only just found out that Wildea is going to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Lotte, but I have always considered myself a Wildea citizen, and my loyalty to His Your Majesty is as clear as day!"

Elvian said calmly, "Your loyalty is to do everything you can to stop Monica?"

Ryan spread his hands. "Your Majesty, you've wronged me. It's not that I'm trying to stop you, it's just that Miss Monica's negotiation skills are terrible! I'm now Amabena's vassal, so of course I have to help her get the best possible outcome, right? My plan is to gain her trust, and when the time is right, I'll tell the Queen, and then we can work together from the inside to take down Lott."

"Oh?"

Elvian raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So, you've been lying low all this time for Wildea?"

"I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Queen." Ryan placed his right hand on his heart and said solemnly, "My lover is a glorious Moonlight Knight, and I would never betray Wildea, betray Your Queen!"

Elvian was slightly moved, and her expression softened a bit.

Indeed, Monica is not good at negotiation. The main reason she sent Monica was to guard against a trap, and to allow the Moonlight Knight Order to advance or retreat as needed.

This Rider... doesn't seem so bad.

If he can be used by me, then taking over the Kingdom of Lotte will be a piece of cake.

Moreover, Rider was Avril's lover.

Thinking this, Elvian said, "Rider, if you are truly loyal, then help me conquer the Kingdom of Lotte! Once I establish the Verdea Federation, I will surely grant you the title of Duke!"

Loyalty!

After hearing the Queen's words, Ryan immediately expressed his determination.

"Rest assured, Your Queen, with me here, the Kingdom of Lotte is already in our grasp!"

"Oh? You're so confident?" Elvian raised an eyebrow.

"Of course! Amabena is a foolish king. I have completely gained her trust. As long as I get her to ally with Wildeya, she won't even flinch."

Elvian nodded, and it seemed to be the case according to the information Monica had relayed.

How could this guy gain Amabena's complete trust?

Is it sweet talk or strategy?

Wait a minute, isn't this guy an adventurer? If so, he can't possibly be a strategist.

"Amabena has fallen for you?" Elvian asked with a strange expression.

"Uh, Your Queen, this is trust, trust," Ryan corrected.

Elvian sneered, "It had better be that way. Rider, don't forget, your lover is still waiting for you to return in the Knights."

Ryan sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty, if that's how you put it, then I might as well just come back."

"No!" Elvian said without room for argument. "You must take the Kingdom of Lotte for me. The Kingdom of Lotte is the key to the war between Wildea and Augustus, and it cannot be lost."

"So, do you think Amabena trusts me, or does she like me?"

Elvian remained silent for a moment.

"It must be trust, don't worry, I won't say anything more about your lover."

Sorry, Avril, it was all for Wilder.

However, since Ryan would return after the Kingdom of Lotte was conquered, it wouldn't be considered an Avril. With this thought, Elvian's sense of guilt quickly disappeared.

"Actually, taking over the Kingdom of Lotte isn't the key." Ryan changed the subject. "Your Queen, let me analyze it for you. Right now, the Kingdom of Lotte is the last place we should openly form an alliance with. Why? Look, Wildea wants to fight Augustus. From a fair and impartial perspective, the Northern Coalition can't defeat Augustus... Ah, I'm a very direct person, Your Queen, please don't be angry."

Elvian said calmly, "I am not that petty. Continue."
