"Oh my... you flatter me too much, sir. I'm nowhere near as beautiful as this young lady. I'm just an ordinary prostitute with a bit of looks. Speaking of which, miss, are you perhaps a half-blood of a deity?"
Hela smiled without a word.
Rhine, however, was even more blunt: "This woman is my colleague. I have nothing to do with her. She's just here to pay for me— here, give her three million."
"Oh, a colleague... Wait, what?!"
Alice nodded in agreement at first, but the next moment, her eyes widened in shock.
What did this person just say?!

37. Leta's Empress
Three million.
It wasn't a lot of money for a Prince of an Empire.
However, the problem was how to produce three million in this foreign land.
Fortunately, Rhine had brought Hela with him this time.
Hela reached into her sleeve, and a Spatial Rift opened discreetly.
Then, a fair, slender hand reluctantly handed over the payment for her beloved.
"I don't have Leta's currency. This is the border, and I think bartering would be more welcome."
Hela took out a ceramic jar containing a strangely shaped worm.
"This is a treasure I found in the Emerald Plains. It's said to be able to devour souls without harming life, but I've tried a few times... it doesn't seem to be quite like that."
"This thing is worth three million?"
Alice curiously examined the little worm in the jar. The worm did have a peculiar appearance, but it couldn't possibly be worth three million, could it?
Alice asked with a face full of confusion, "Excuse me, sir, what exactly is this thing?"
Hela smiled and said, "It's the residue of a Demigod."
Gasp!!
Alice nearly buckled at the knees and fell to the ground.
Demigods.
They were the elves' number one nightmare.
Upon learning that the worm in the jar was a part of a Demigod, Alice instinctively began to panic and fear.
However, she quickly calmed her inner turmoil.
Stay calm...
No matter how dangerous Demigods were, this thing was now properly sealed by the two distinguished guests before her.
There shouldn't be any danger.
Moreover, for a nation constantly invaded and attacked by Demigods, such bodily tissues of Demigods indeed had extremely high utility value in Leta, and could indeed be sold for a very good price.
If this was truly the residue of a Demigod, Exchanging it for three million, these two guests were clearly at a disadvantage.
But it seemed the black-haired guest was quite disgusted with this residue, probably because its abilities were disappointing, so she didn't want it anymore.
Therefore...
Meaning...
Alice had truly been bought.
She never imagined that in such a poor border town, there would actually be someone...
In fact, although Alice...
She was self-aware.
If possible, She hoped to welcome her first time with Mr. Rhine, who had such beautiful eyes.
To spend a night of passion with such a handsome gentleman...
It would surely be...
Quite romantic.
She gave Rhine a strained smile, her voice trembling slightly from excessive excitement, "I, I understand... Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go call our boss..."
Alice took the ceramic jar, carefully cradling the Demigod's residue, and walked towards the back.
Watching the elven girl's retreating figure.
"So this is your target?"
Hela asked curiously, crossing her arms, "Did Your Highness already know from the start that this shop had a Moon God's noble blood?"
Rhine naturally knew.
But this made Hela even more curious, "So Your Highness, can you reveal now what value this child actually holds?"
Rhine didn't mind telling Hela the truth.
It wouldn't make much difference whether he told her or not, so he might as well be sincere.
"You should be able to tell that she has divine blood within her, right?"
Hela smiled, "Of course, you can tell from her face. Only those nobles who constantly engage in incest within the Court can possess this level of bloodline. This girl has a noble bloodline but is unaware of it herself, she's likely an illegitimate child or an abandoned infant."
"Actually..."
Rhine gazed at Alice's retreating figure and said faintly, "She will be the future Empress of Leta."
"Huh...?"
Hela was stunned.
She looked at Rhine incredulously.
"Really?"
"Really, all it takes is a trigger, and Leta's Demigods will open a portal and come to greet her majesty."
Emmmmmm...
Hela fell silent.
She naturally wondered why Rhine could predict the future, knowing that a prostitute in a border town would one day be crowned Empress of Leta, the strongest Empire of the Elves.
But thinking about it, someone with an Evil God as their backer would probably know more.
So this guy... spent three million to buy the Empress of Leta's first night?
He's a genius at finding hidden gems...
38. Let's Go, Find Our Queen
Across the Gobi Desert, the Spring Breeze and First Love, with its roaring engine, sped along and finally arrived at the destroyed Orc tribe a day later.
Just as the report indicated, It had been instantly destroyed by some unknown, terrifying force, leaving nothing behind.
After devouring the scavengers who had rushed over upon smelling the carnage, the Spring Breeze and First Love set off again.
"Let's go, boys!"
The Orc chieftain exclaimed with immense joy, "Those weak pointy-ears don't dare to provoke the Orcs. Let's see what dares to come looking for a fight with us!"
The charging mobile city opened its side gates, and countless Goblins, riding on junk motorcycles cobbled together from scrap metal, rushed out of the mothership and scattered in all directions.
However, it wasn't long before, A reconnaissance junk vehicle returned with news.
"Boss! I see someone blocking our path ahead! It's a pointy-ear! A female!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Laughter erupted in unison from the bridge, "Then crush her!!!"
Directly in front of the Spring Breeze and First Love, an Elven mage girl calmly watched the approaching mobile city from afar.
Then, the Elven mage girl glanced down at the compass in her hand.
From that giant, twisted mountain of garbage, she actually detected... a divine reaction.
"Teacher, I've found a suspected intruder—the rest is up to you."
As soon as she finished speaking.
A faint cracking sound echoed above the mage girl's head.
Cracks actually appeared in the invisible air.
Boom!!
Then, some indescribable, terrifying power directly shattered space and descended with overwhelming force!!
An Elven woman with long silver hair emerged from the broken space.
She was an astonishing beauty of unparalleled grace, her tall figure and cold, elegant demeanor exuding an aura as noble and transcendent as a deity.
Except for her complexion, which was so poor she looked close to death.
On the Spring Breeze and First Love, The Orcs saw the silver-haired pointy-ear who had shattered space to make her entrance...
The Orcs immediately fell silent.
Good news, They must have found the culprit who destroyed the Orc tribe.
Bad news, They were about to be destroyed as well. Next, the Orcs witnessed the most spectacular scene of their lives.
The silver-haired Elven Demigod softly chanted, and immediately, liquid mithril began to ripple and surge beneath her feet.
As the incantation continued, the area covered by the liquid mithril expanded.
Finally...
The flowing mithril surged like a tsunami! Instantly engulfing the tiny mobile city!
Spring Breeze and First Love was smashed by the mithril tsunami, and the Orcs on board had their throats severed by blades formed from the mithril that seeped into the machinery.
The roaring, rumbling garbage mountain fell silent after a few earth-shattering explosions.
The silver-haired Demigod watched it all with a blank expression.
Suddenly, her face twitched twice. Then she took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth, and coughed painfully for a long time, until the entire handkerchief was soaked with the silver blood she coughed up.
"Teacher..."
The Elven mage girl walked to her side. The mage girl looked at her teacher's pained expression, but there was nothing she could do besides cast a worried glance.
After a long while.
The silver-haired Demigod's condition finally stabilized.
The mage girl asked with concern, "Teacher, are you feeling better?"
"Don't ask such stupid questions."
