Chapter 596: Chapter 575 Queen i·2
The battle did not start as Jiang Qiao had anticipated. When the Queen’s five knights from this world entered i’s bedchamber, all wore expressions of astonishnt.
“Troy, is she really the i from another world?”
As i’s knight, both a father figure and a ntor, Lion Heart remained as composed in this world as he always had been.
He even seed much calr than Troy upon seeing the i of Jiang Qiao’s world.
“Yes, the prophecy of the original Devouring God has co to pass,” Troy said, seemingly a bit impatient. “As long as we keep this queen…”
Damn! That woman actually dared to trick us.
Jiang Qiao subconsciously covered his lips with his hand, the sensation of being forcibly kissed by the original Devouring God still lingering in his consciousness.
This action successfully caught the attention of his companions, including the one nad “Extra milk at no extra charge” and Wan Xiang, but right now they were being surrounded by five lord-level BOSSes.
The worst part was that the knights under this world’s queen had an average level ranging from one hundred to one hundred thirty.
They could be described as super-enhanced versions, while the Hornet Knight by Jiang Qiao was only level ninety.
“Troy, I understand how you feel, but this Empress i is not the queen we once served. Why keep her?”
But Lion Heart’s next words caused Troy and Jiang Qiao’s group to collectively pause in thought.
“I agree with Sigel’s sentints, Troy… you really need to let go,” the Wolf Knight also chose to side with Lion Heart.
The Hawkeye Knight scratched his head and, under the gaze of the Hornet Knight, chose to stand with Lion Heart as well.
“You! Black Ash General! Help take them down!” Troy seed to lose control of his emotions, which made the Hornet Knight by Lu Yuan’s side feel so embarrassed she covered her cheek and kept shaking her head.
The Black Ash Knight of this world did not turn into a black mist; he maintained his human form, with dark armor and a muscular appearance fitting for his title as Breakthrough General.
“After being Her Majesty’s stand-in for so many years, do you really think you are the queen, Troy?” Black Ash Knight said, disappointedly shaking his head with his greatsword slung over his shoulder. “Only Her Majesty can command , you can’t.”
“But… but…”
Troy’s voice beca increasingly despondent, and the i and Hornet Knight beside Jiang Qiao seed to understand his emotions.
The Hornet Knight had been i’s personal guard from a young age, serving not only as i’s playmate but also as her sister, making her the knight closest to i.
“Troy…” Empress i’s lips moved, but in the end, sge found she could not say anything to comfort him.
Ultimately, it was the Wolf Knight, who had beco Troy’s husband, who heaved a sigh. He flashed to Troy’s side and draped a blanket over his shoulders.
“Your Majesty from another world line, we… will not forcefully keep you here,” the Wolf Knight said as he removed his helt after doing so.
The Wolf Knight from this world was not corrupted by the abyss, so his appearance was human like that of the Black Ash Knight’s, and what’s more, he was a textbook definition of a refreshing and handso man.
“But I’m curious… in your world line, Your Majesty… how is your country faring?” Though the Wolf Knight used honorifics, his words pierced Empress i like a knife to the heart.
Empress i retreated into a state of self-seclusion after being asked by the Wolf Knight.
“That’s none of your business, is it? Our world is doing much better,” the Hornet Knight beside Empress i spoke up fiercely, confronting her boyfriend from another world line. It seed she was used to berating the Wolf Knight in their daily life, and snapping at this other version of him ca quite naturally to her.
“I… didn’t an to, I… I apologize,” the Wolf Knight instantly turned from a majestic gray wolf into a cowering husky.
Sure enough, no matter which world he was from, he was still terrified of his wife.
“It’s okay, actually, in my world line, I wasn’t able to protect my country as well as your queen…” Empress i finally mustered the courage to tell everyone the truth, yet the more she spoke, the clearer her sorrow and self-reproach echoed in her voice “Even though… the from this world could do it, why couldn’t I…”
Jiang Qiao watched as Queen i’s hands clasped tighter and tighter, unable to think of any words to comfort her.
“Then why not stay? Your Majesty!” Troy spoke up again, “The queen this world’s citizens need is not , they’re all waiting for…”
“Troy!”
The Lion Heart Knight once again spoke with a warning tone to the sowhat out-of-control Wasp Knight, who was not a substitute for the queen sitting on the throne.
Everyone present understood, yet… all the knights sincerely hoped Queen i would stay.
Troy’s words successfully made Queen i, standing beside Jiang Qiao, waver.
Indeed… everything in this world seed so perfect, her country was still there and growing stronger, the friends from her mories were all alive.
The only flaw in this perfect world line was… it lacked her.
But Queen i knew this world was not truly her own, and most importantly…
“I appreciate your invitation to stay, but I cannot remain here,” Queen i firmly shook her head before saying, “because in my world… there are many people waiting for to return.”
This was not her world, nor was it her country.
In her world, a group of spirits were waiting for her to return to play Fight the Landlord and Mahjong, and Miss Cat’s position allowed her to enjoy every day, that was her world.
“But…”
“Enough, Troy.” The Lion Heart Knight couldn’t bear Troy’s lack of composure any longer, and even the Wasp Knight beside Jiang Qiao wished he could seal his own mouth.
“Uh… let interrupt for a mont,” Jiang Qiao said, breaking the sorrowful atmosphere filled with goodbyes, “we… aren’t restricted to a single visit… according to the rules of the Ti God, as long as you… or we defeat enough disasters and make a great contribution to balancing the Star Atlas… and have coordinates… we can co and go for a while.”
“Agent, do you an…” Queen i had thought this was her last visit to this world.
“It ans there will be other opportunities in the future. Whether they visit our world line, or you take a stroll in this country, there won’t be any problems,” Jiang Qiao said, and the knights also showed disbelieving expressions on their faces, “Now, can you hand over that extra Divine Fragnt to ? Otherwise, our world might explode, and then it would be quite nice if you could help us with the final boss.”
Jiang Qiao was unsure whether these knights would be able to maintain… normal combat strength in his own world line, but having reinforcents was always better than none.
“If what you say is true, then of course there’s no problem,” Troy quickly settled down, as it seed like a complete solution.
“So, Agent… can we now…” Queen i was vaguely tempted. She didn’t wish to stay in this world that seed like a dream forever.
But a visit would be nice.
“You can, you can stay up to twenty-two hours. When the ti is up, the wrapping of ti will send you directly back to your original world line, and I won’t be able to stop it,” Jiang Qiao said.
“Phew…”
After Jiang Qiao laid out the rules, this world’s Queen i’s agent Troy handed over their extra Divine Fragnt to Jiang Qiao.
“Did I secure it safely?” Jiang Qiao glanced at Queen i, who had already begun discussing with the five knights where to go on their visit, while he busily began to pinpoint the location of the next Devouring God world line.
“Where to next?”
Adding milk without increasing the price seed sowhat dissatisfied; she had already buffed herself, but the story of this instance had ended without fighting.
“Biland Island.”
“Are we going back?” Wan Xiang looked sowhat disappointed as well.
“Not exactly, it’s another world line’s Biland Island. In that world line, Zhao Mingwei’s apprentice, Yelena, has beco the Devouring God. How should I put it… The Magic Thief has triumphed spectacularly, not only ruling over Biland Island but also spreading across the entire Star Atlas world line. Anyway… let’s first team up Zhao Mingwei and Yelena,” Jiang Qiao said.
