Chapter 231

The afternoon sunlight shone on the balcony, and the cicadas chirped incessantly... What time is it? Ryan looked up and saw that it was only three o'clock. Why is the moon so big?

Immediately afterwards, the sound of Monica and Angiya arguing came from outside the door again, loud enough to wake up both Elvian.

Elvian on the left was startled and immediately sat up in bed, but a tearing pain in a certain place almost made her cry out.

Ryan's lips twitched slightly. "You'd better save your energy."

Although I am a high-level Supernatural Being, I really went too crazy last night... Damn God of Desire, it's all that guy's fault, I didn't mean it this way at first!

Monica is here!

A hint of panic flashed in Elvian's eyes.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Monica's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you in there? Ryan! Ryan!"

Monica decided to knock on the door anyway, since Elvian couldn't possibly have disappeared without a reason.

"I'm here! Monica!"

Elvian realized something was wrong as soon as she answered; she should have pretended not to be there!

Ryan: "..."

"Your Majesty? Are you inside? I have something important to tell you."

"Wait, wait a minute."

In her haste, Elvian picked up the scattered underwear and put it on.

"That's mine, you idiot!" Amabena said immediately after dispelling her skill. "You couldn't wear it even if I gave it to you."

Elvian glared at her fiercely.

Amabena immediately glared back.

She won the 'competition' last night, hmph, Cricket Elvian, trash!

Elvian ignored it, quickly put on her clothes, walked to the door, took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and squeezed out through the crack in the door, afraid that the scene inside the room would be seen by the people outside.

Bang!

Close it quickly.

A sound came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, let's go, Monica."

"Your Majesty, how do you walk...?"

"It's nothing. I just encountered some problems during my cultivation last night. I came to talk to Ryan about Wildea today. That's all."

"Yeah?"

Listening to the sounds gradually fading away, Ryan was speechless. "Your attempt to cover up your lie is truly brilliant."

"I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep a little longer."

Too lazy to care about Elvian, Ryan felt a bit of back pain, and the bed was a mess, with a strange smell in the air and some places damp. The whole room was a battlefield, not only the bed but also the desk, bathroom, and so on. Ryan couldn't even remember how many times they had fought last night.

"Ryan, you are a man who aspires to unify the continent. You can't continue to degenerate like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large, protruding buttock appeared in Ryan's field of vision, followed by Amabena's morning bites.

Outside the door, Angiya, who was in a daze, raised her hand but hesitated to knock for a long time.

She wondered, how many people were still in the room?!

Ryan swore that he would never use the Pot of Greed again, no matter who used it!

It's not for any other reason, it's mainly because it delayed important business, yes, that's right.

Ryan had originally planned to give advance notice of the banquets for the nobles, perhaps by winning over a group of people to his side and then using the banquet to completely subdue the others.

As a result, by the time he got up, washed up, and figured things out, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

Bad news: It's six o'clock, there's no time to win them over.

Good news: Only three people came, so there's no need to win them over.

The invitation list sent out included twelve people, all of whom are currently powerful nobles in the Kingdom of Lotte. If we can win them over, the Lotte regime will basically be unified.

Ryan had considered that these nobles might not accept it, but he didn't expect them to be this uncooperative.

Actually, the invitation would have been more effective if it had been issued in his name, given the support of the Augustus Empire. But Amabena... as a king, she doesn't really have much prestige.

Moreover, most people didn't know that Ryan was there, let alone that Ryan had fought Amabena many times; otherwise, the number of the three would have been at least doubled.

But this makes things even better. Ryan didn't bother with the details and simply explained to the three people who came with him at the banquet that the Kingdom of Lotte's regime needed to be unified and that everyone had to obey Queen Amabena's orders.

The three of them were quite sensible; seeing Ryan step in, they readily agreed.

The very next day, Ryan waved his hand, and a thousand Holy Blood Army began sweeping through the territories of various nobles, on the grounds of 'disobeying the king's orders and secretly colluding with foreign powers'.

The charge is valid, but there's no evidence of collusion. But... does that matter? If the king wants his subject dead, then the subject must die.

When the Holy Blood Army appeared, all the nobles panicked. Amabena immediately received letters of 'reconciliation' from the nobles, who all expressed their willingness to submit and obey the kingdom's orders.

However, Ryan didn't give them a chance.

If you obey, whose house will I raid?

Besides, it's better to kill this kind of guy who isn't absolutely loyal as soon as possible.

After all, Ryan was about to head to the Western Territory, and he didn't have time to deal with these minor nobles.

Me, an Imperial Earl, understand? I'm very busy!

"When the Holy Blood Army has reached a certain point, once it's over, send people to ransack the place, understand?"

"The money that comes in will be given to Angiya so that she can use it to purchase equipment and supplies for the army and for the construction of the kingdom."

"Once the nobles are all cleared out, the appointment of new nobles must be done with great care. You can also ask Elvian for advice; she's quite good at choosing people."

Inside the room, Ryan gave his instructions.

Amabena took out her little notebook and kept taking notes.

Prime Minister's teachings.

She certainly didn't intend to learn or comprehend this; wasn't she just leaving it for her future son or daughter?

Even if you only learn three or five parts of it, let alone seven or eight parts, that would still be better than the kings of your ancestors.

After Ryan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Elvian came in.

"You're leaving Silvermoon City?"

Elvian had just received news that Ryan was preparing to leave.

"Yes, go to Baron first, then return to the Western Territory."

"Should I... come along?"

Elvian hesitated.

"You can stay here. The Empress has entrusted the Kingdom of Lotte to me. As my nominal fiancée, you can help me out then, so it will be perfectly legitimate." Ryan spread his hands. "Besides, I will be back after I resolve the Western Barbarian issue."

The Kingdom of Lotte has a special location, making it convenient to go anywhere.

Of course, it takes a considerable amount of time to get anywhere.

Although Janus's power can be used to open the Chaos Space, the cost of a single teleportation is too high. Ryan just had 'Vainay' collect two portions, so he has to use them sparingly now.

There's no way around it; some materials are just scarce, and even Gilded Merchant have a hard time getting their hands on them.

"Alright."

Elvian didn't want to go to the Western Territory either.

She didn't intend to spend all her time facing Magana's sour face.

While in Silvermoon City, she could at least suppress Amabena in terms of presence, but when it came to Magana, that mad Grand Duke simply wouldn't listen to reason.

It's a pity that after the last 'battle,' Elvian went back and read many books, learned a lot of knowledge, and was thinking of finding an opportunity to fight back.

Well... I'll take this time to adjust my mindset.

To be honest, the battle with Amabena and the other two has left her with a bit of PTSD. Just thinking about that scene makes her feel uneasy... Elvian now 100% certain that Ryan is the Chosen One of Desire!

Only this identity could attract the power of the God of Desire!

Ryan: The chosen one of desire? I wouldn't even be a dog!

Ryan had no interest in Elvian's thoughts. After giving his instructions, he immediately boarded the train to Baron.

The Aisha family's merchant caravan has already set off. After meeting up in Baron, they will take the supplies prepared by Vainay and head to the Western Territory. They need to take down the Western Barbarians this time... It's been a long time since I've seen Vainay and Ina.

"My third and fourth wives, you are my true loves."

I've reached 10,000 words today! Although I only update once a day, the word count is definitely no less than other authors' bounties. It's mid-month, sob sob~ I'm about to lose my footing on the monthly ticket rankings, please give me some monthly tickets and support me!

Ending Remarks

As the title suggests, the second volume, the story of Veldria, was basically over yesterday.

There will definitely be more storylines about Veldria later, such as Avril's Queen's Growth Diary, but the main battlefield has changed. The Western Territory Plains, the Grand Duke's Charge, and the Twin Stars of the Arcadia Empire will all unfold one by one.

And then there's the witch, Baalshatt of the Gods. Information about the protagonist's path will be revealed. Did you think that's all the paths now? No!

Then, there are quite a few problems with this volume. I got sick in the middle and had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius at one point. My health is really not good. I am still taking Chinese medicine to regulate my body. It will take about a month to regulate my body.

Some plot details weren't handled very well, and the update frequency was quite high. I've reduced the update frequency a bit recently during my recovery period, trying to maintain a frequency of around 10,000 words per month. Looking at the monthly update rankings, it's not bad... hey~

I'll try my best to keep updating the next volume and develop the plot as well as possible. Feel free to share any thoughts you have. I'll definitely reach a million words this month; the story is still long. Let's encourage each other!

And also... since I've already expressed my feelings, asking for some monthly votes isn't too much to ask, right? Hehe~

Volume 3

Chapter 145 Demon Ryan, Temple of War, Blood God's Eternal Chosen Shally! [10,000 views]

Baron.

Deep within the castle's underground space.

'Vainay' stood before the enormous Space Rift, frowning in thought.

"Your Majesty, Captain Melot and the others haven't come out yet. Should we send more people in to investigate?"

One of the people beside her asked respectfully.

"Even if we send more people in, are we confident they'll get out?"

"This..."

'Vainay' walked forward, approaching the crack.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" the subordinate exclaimed.

'Vainay' raised her hand, signaling the man not to panic.

She then reached out and placed her hand on the Space Rift, feeling the fluctuations of power above. Under the perception of the dead souls, the blood-red lines on the surface of the rift, which was covered with drifting, fluffy things, instantly transformed into countless dead souls, rushing towards 'Vainay'.

She quickly withdrew her hand, and the terrifying scene from before disappeared again.

"The Power of the Blood God is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that the barrier between the mortal world and the Chaos Space cannot hold for long. If this continues, the Demon Legion will descend again sooner or later... What exactly is wrong?"

The rift to the Inner World beneath the castle has existed for many years. According to members of the royal family, the Old Emperor entered this rift when he changed his profession, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds after he came out, leading him to embark on the path of the Blood God Faith Path.

Later, in another attempt to break through, he led a group from the Burning Covenant into the cave, but they were almost wiped out. They only managed to get out thanks to Jonathan's desperate protection.

"Blood Hand Butcher Barton," some said in terror, "Is one of the four strongest Great Demon under the Blood God's command, residing deep within this Chaos Space."

Originally, Ryan didn't intend to bother with this thing, as long as it stayed quiet. Unfortunately, in recent days, 'Vainay' observed that the power fluctuations of the rift were getting stronger and stronger, so she sent a team of the Burning Covenant into it. The leader, Melot, was a fifth-order Son of the Sun, and his strength was quite good.
