Chapter 310

But it alone has never shown anything about itself.

No... it's not that nothing was shown.

Rather, no one could discover what it had revealed.

People who live in the mountains can never see the grandeur of them.

And that's their situation.

That Great Beast... it was enormous...

Nitze even suspected that the terrifying Originium that spread to every corner of this world was a manifestation of the other party's curse.

To this day, he still doesn't know the other person's true identity; he has only sensed something unusual about them in his life.

"Why are you asking this?"

Nitze adjusted his posture slightly, slowly raised his head, and gazed at Maria in front of him.

Even he himself didn't notice that he had changed his way of addressing Maria from "you" to "you (formal)".

He had assumed that the two newly crowned Banshees, the succubus queen and the Banshees empress, were simply visiting him.

But now it seems... these two people might not be so simple after all.

Even Nitze felt a chill run down his spine at Maria's question.

He didn't want to talk about these things too much.

Even he, with his warlike nature, dared not touch that overly grand existence.

The Sarkaz are the oldest race in the world, but they are also the race that knows the least about this world.

This land called Terra hides far too many things that are too much to bear, things that could shatter a person's worldview.

They are so powerful that a simple glance from them could plunge the entire Sarkaz into utter ruin!

Faced with such a disaster, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

He knew he wasn't capable of interfering with the opponent, but he also knew he could be the goalkeeper.

He couldn't interfere with the Great Beast, but he could instead suppress the others from searching for Great Beast.

At the very least, without power surpassing his, one is not qualified to face Great Beast head-on...

Faced with Nitze's wary questioning, Maria calmly uttered words that Nitze found hard to look at.

"I'm going to kill him..."

275

Move aside, card number 275.

Maria's words were calm... so calm that Nitze even thought Maria was joking.

But after seeing Maria's serious expression, he realized that her words weren't meant to ease the tension.

She really... intends to hunt that Great Beast!

"..."

Nitze did not answer; he simply gazed silently at Maria before him.

His movements became very gentle, and the surrounding environment gradually quieted down.

In the quiet room, even the sound of breathing gradually faded away...

After a moment, he lowered his head.

"Please leave, Banshees Queen."

Nitze said.

"The Carrion Court still welcomes you... but at least for now, we don't welcome your questions."

"Now, please leave."

"Tomorrow, there is another meeting between the Royal Court that we need to attend to."

Nitze spoke, he made a gesture as if to see the guest out.

He didn't want to talk about these things too much... at least not now.

Bocscar nearby, also stepped forward, ready to escort the two distinguished individuals away.

The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly tense.

But Maria simply sat there.

She neither spoke nor moved.

She simply stared at Nitze in front of her, her gaze calm.

Seeing Maria's resolute attitude, Lamaline pursed her lips, and after a moment, she took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, Nachzehrer King, this matter is of utmost importance to us. Please tell us the secret behind it..."

"You have crossed the line, Queen of the Banshees."

Nitze didn't answer; he simply gave Lamaline a light warning.

A dark aura emanated from beneath the hem of his distinctive skirt, exuding a chilling blackness.

"I respect you, Banshees, and I expect the same respect from you. These are things I don't want to tell you..."

Nitze spoke calmly.

But his words, in turn, proved that he did indeed know what Maria wanted to know.

That was enough for Maria.

After a moment of silence, Maria finally spoke.

"Lamaline."

"Um?"

"Can you go out for a few minutes?"

Maria's voice was soft, but her words were unusually cold.

After a moment of stunned silence, Bocscar standing to the side, decisively raised his weapon.

What are you planning to do?

"Put down your weapons, Bocscar! You cannot be rude to such an honored guest!"

Nitze gave his disciple a light tap, then looked at Maria.

He gestured for her to continue.

Maria nodded slightly in agreement with her tolerance, then looked at Lamaline beside her.

"You can go out for a moment."

"But..."

Lamaline was somewhat worried.

She frowned, looking at Maria in front of her.

She already knew the terrifying power that Maria carried, but she also knew that Nitze, who had earned the title of God of War in the long history of the Sarkaz, was by no means a benevolent being.

If a fight really breaks out, the outcome is still uncertain!

There are many ways to obtain information; there's no reason to fixate on just one place.

But Maria's attitude was quite simple.

"Get out."

She reached out and gently stroked Lamaline's worried little face, nodding slightly.

"I'll be fine."

"... this."

"Trusting your lover is also part of maintaining a relationship, Queen of the Banshees."

Nitze was standing to the side, nodded slightly and offered some advice.

He was aware of what Maria wanted to do, but he was also confident.

There shouldn't be any unexpected issues during the communication between the two.

"I see."

Although she still frowned, Lamaline understood that the two people had made a decision.

Since that was the case, there was no point in saying anything more. She nodded slightly and got up to leave.

Bocscar was still young, simply chose to leave.

He believed his teacher would be alright.

Soon, the two of them left the meeting room, leaving only Maria and Nitze in the room.

Neither side made a move immediately; they simply sat there, silently watching each other.

"You are neither Banshees... nor Blood Demon..."

After a moment of silence, Nitze suddenly spoke, his words aimed directly at Maria's identity.

"Yes."

Maria made no attempt to conceal her identity; she simply looked at the other person, her eyes slightly narrowed.

But that's not important.

"This is important, ma'am."

Since there were no outsiders present, Nitze didn't bother to hide anything anymore. He simply opened his mouth and spoke slowly in his strange accent.

"Although Banshees are born free-spirited, I don't believe they would so easily make a foreigner their queen... I've also heard that the Banshee Capital has already fallen..."

"Are you doubting me?"

Maria roughly guessed what the other person was thinking.

Did he feel he was untrustworthy, perhaps a spy from a foreign tribe?

"I didn't mean that, madam. I see the potential in that Banshees Queen... Although she is young, she is a rare master of Originium Arts. Given time, she will achieve even greater things."

Nitze spoke, he slightly raised his body again.

"I'm just amazed that someone like her would choose you to be her queen... What secrets do you hold?"

Beneath the white cloth strip, Nitze's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a strong sense of interrogation.

He was a staunch Sarkaz, and his allegiance was to the entire Sarkaz entity.

He didn't have extreme aversion to foreigners, but he certainly didn't like them either.

Although he was not in a position to interfere with the Banshees's choice of her queen, he retained the right to raise questions.

Maria's knowledge of the legendary Great Beast surprised him... but that was all he was surprised about.

He wouldn't reveal the specifics of the Great Beast.

"I need to remind you of something... sir."

Maria leaned back slightly, her eyes calm.

"There's no question of one of us choosing the other."

"..."

Let's skip the unnecessary words for now; neither you nor I like that.

Maria realized that the other party was trying to stall for time.

But she didn't give him that chance.

She didn't want to waste too much time.

"... You gave up your last chance."
