The silver-haired Demigod's voice was weak, "Focus on the work."

"Alright..."

The mage girl looked at the wreckage in the distance. "Teacher, do you think this is the intruder that triggered the alarm?"

The silver-haired Demigod replied, "In the border regions, I haven't found anything else besides them. Whether it is or isn't, this is all we have."

Mm...

The mage girl understood her teacher's meaning.

To prevent incursions by Demigods, Leta Royal Court had established a comprehensive detection system.

One of these systems could analyze elemental constants within Leta's territory to detect any foreign divine beings invading Leta.

Although this detection system was designed specifically for Demigods.

It occasionally proved useful for other entities.

For example... foreign Demigods attempting to infiltrate Leta.

The mage girl sighed, "It's a shame... the Stafy Compass can only react the moment a divine being enters Leta. We can no longer know the identity of that intruder."

But even so...

The mage girl frowned. "But no matter what, a group of Orcs shouldn't carry divinity, right?"

"The investigation is up to you."

The silver-haired Demigod left those words, then turned and walked to a dead tree, sitting down to recover her strength.

"I understand, Teacher."

The mage girl nodded. Her teacher was a woman of few words, not explicitly stating her intentions, but the mage girl understood.

This ugly Orc machine likely held some unknown secret.

Several hours later.

The Spring Breeze and First Love had been completely dismantled.

Dozens of large humanoids made of rock were systematically disassembling the machine.

As more and more scrap metal was stripped from this mobile city.

The mage girl actually discovered a piece of mithril, welded and wrapped in layers of scrap metal, in the core area of the mobile city.

Soon, more mithril structures were found.

The mage girl was astonished to discover that the entire Orc mobile city seemed to have been obtained by modifying a large elven mechanical entity of unknown origin!!

And on these mithril parts, the mage girl saw an ancient crest.

In an instant, the mage girl was so surprised she forgot to breathe.

"Teacher! Teacher!!"

The mage girl excitedly ran to the silver-haired Demigod and handed her the copied crest pattern.

The mage girl exclaimed, "Teacher, look, this is the emblem I found at the core of that mobile city! This, isn't this the crest of the King of Porcelain Moon!"

The mage girl said excitedly, "These Orcs used the machinery left behind by the Porcelain Moon Dynasty to modify this warship!!"

"Indeed..."

The silver-haired Demigod took a deep breath, struggling to support her weak body as she walked towards the wreckage.

The silver-haired Demigod said, "Phil... tell me, do you know what the greatest invention of Leta's Porcelain Moon Dynasty era was?"

The mage girl was incredibly excited.

Of course, she knew!!

Leta's Porcelain Moon Dynasty was an era that revered knowledge and had the most vibrant academic atmosphere.

During that era, Leta advocated defeating Demigods through their wisdom, and they indeed created the highest technological masterpiece of the elven race.

The Law God Mechanism!

If there was truly a Law God Mechanism hidden within this pile of junk assembled by Orcs.

That would mean...

Bang!

With an explosion, liquid mithril forcibly pried open the armor of the Law God Mechanism.

The silver-haired Demigod said, "Found it..."

From the complex mechanical parts, the silver-haired Demigod took out a silver bone radiating immense divine power.

That was...

A segment of a Demigod's spine.

"A purified Demigod bone, and so intact... Teacher, Teacher!!"

Seeing this, the mage girl was too excited to speak.

Her face flushed red, and after a long stutter, she said tearfully, "With this holy artifact, Leta can finally have another Queen born!"

The mage girl carefully preserved the Demigod's spine. "Let's return to the Royal Court immediately, teacher!"

The silver-haired Demigod's expression was indifferent. She questioned, "Why are you returning to the Royal Court?"

"Huh?"

The mage girl was stunned. "Of course... to report this good news to the Royal Court, so they can start selecting a new King of the Moon..."

"Even now, you still believe the Royal Court can choose a new Queen for Leta?"

The silver-haired Demigod's indifferent eyes showed a flicker of anger. "After wasting three sets of remains, haven't we learned our lesson bitterly enough? The maggots in the Royal Court have been rotten for too long; their blood is already tainted."

"But..."

The mage girl was lost. "Besides the Royal Court... where else can we find a Queen to succeed?"

"I've already contacted Kael and the others."

The silver-haired Demigod said, "We won't let the Royal Court interfere in this matter. We will search throughout Leta for the scattered noble blood. The maggots of the Royal Court have been infighting for so many years, and there are countless nobles who have fallen into the common folk for various reasons. There will surely be suitable candidates."

Not long after.

The Demigods stationed on the borderlines across Leta responded one by one to the silver-haired Demigod's summon.

Space was torn apart repeatedly, and the Demigods gathered at the northern border.

The silver-haired Demigod raised her hand and displayed the Demigod's spine to them.

Silver-haired Demigod: "Sisters, these are the remains I discovered today on the northern border. With this, we have a chance to crown a new Queen of the Moon."

Silver-haired Demigod: "But this time, we will no longer entrust this opportunity to those corrupt and lazy bureaucrats. The heavy responsibility of saving Leta must be borne by us."

The Demigods nodded silently, expressing their agreement.

"Then let's go, everyone."

The silver-haired Demigod called out to her sisters:

"Find our King."

41. Olivia's Blessing

Under Alice's reluctant and sorrowful gaze, Rhine said goodbye to her and left "Miss Alice." The previous two chapters have been taken down. Please enter the QQ group and open the group files to view them -- Group Number: 32011447

Having been reborn a thousand times, Rhine, as a Prince of the Hain Empire and its future Emperor.

He had certainly dealt with the King of Leta quite a bit.

The Elf Empress, the King of Jade Moon, Alice.

She and her country were once Rhine's strongest opponents in the mortal world.

Possessing four battle-hardened Elf Demigods, a vast legacy of terrifying power left by successive dynasties in their battles against Demigods, coupled with the King of Jade Moon's own formidable strength.

Thus, Leta became a formidable enemy that even the Hain Empire had to confront with all its might, daring not to slacken in the slightest.

However.

The King of Jade Moon also had a significant weakness.

This was related to her origins.

The King of Jade Moon was not a traditional noble selected from the Leta Royal Court.

She was an abandoned infant with noble blood found by the Demigods on the Leta border, bypassing the Royal Court.

Before the Demigods found her, her identity was merely that of an ordinary elf girl, who even worked in a disreputable place like a brothel.

Therefore, it was clear that.

Before Empress Alice became the King of Jade Moon and reigned over Leta.

In her childhood, she was very easily influenced and changed.

And at the same time, extremely vulnerable.

Rhine's strategy for a long time had been to ask Constance for help at the beginning, letting her take Rhine to the northern border.

Then, he would directly eliminate this yet-to-be-born King of Jade Moon.

Although after this, Leta's Demigods would still choose other Kings of the Moon.

However, from Rhine's perspective.

The other successors were all much weaker than Alice.

It was merely a matter of difficulty settings.

Rhine could have killed Alice this time, just as he had in the past.

But in this final life.

Rhine had decided to change his strategy.

He had already begun cooperating with Olivia and was even trying to gain Hela's favor.

Therefore, it was natural to treat the King of Jade Moon with leniency.

Fighting and killing are too cruel.

This time, I'll use love to influence this young Empress.

And so, Rhine seduced Alice.

After a very pleasant night.

Rhine's results were gratifying, and his progress in conquering Alice was rapid.

As expected, schemes involving beauty are outrageously effective everywhere.

In these thousand cycles, Rhine had not only mastered a vast amount of information but also honed many skills.

Swordsmanship and magic were just for fun.

What Rhine truly loved from the bottom of his heart and was willing to painstakingly research and practice was... well, those who know, know.

After unleashing his true abilities, Alice was completely smitten with Rhine, unable to extricate herself.

However, Rhine's waist... really couldn't take it.

It hurt, it hurt, it hurt...

After swaggering away from Alice, Rhine walked to a deserted spot, leaned against the wall, and remained silent for a long time.

Although his theoretical knowledge was extensive, Rhine's body truly couldn't handle it.

After all, the current Rhine was just a good-for-nothing who had indulged in drinking, gambling, and womanizing for nineteen years. The goddess's bloodline had not brought any improvement to his strength.

Let alone the Imperial Guard, even his mother, Her Majesty the Empress, had to be careful when hugging her son, lest she accidentally crush him with a little too much force.

And just then...

A strange light suddenly flashed in Rhine's eyes.

The Dragon Princess's Blessing descended upon the mortal world.
