In the second week, they are full of malice towards me

What Liao Ji thought of, Jiuyou also knew, after all, they absorbed Bal's soul fragments together.

so.
The choice was before Long Niang.

Liao Ji didn't speak, didn't interfere, and left the choice completely to Jiuyou.

And Jiuyou admitted that she did hesitate for a moment, and even flinched.

It's hard to imagine that the word "retreat" would appear in Long Niang's dictionary. As the pinnacle of the guard, she has always adhered to the character of a warrior. She is not afraid of any powerful enemy, and she will not be afraid of any desperate predicament. Let her lose her fighting spirit.

Otherwise, when she was thrown into a lair full of monsters by Lord Ashes, she would have given up long ago, but she did not run away.

However now.
Jiuyou clenched his fists.

What made her flinch was not that she was reluctant to part with these powers, but that after losing these powers, she also lost the qualification to be by Mrs Hui Hui's side.

Can no longer fight for Lord Ashes.

After becoming "useless", she was abandoned by Lord Ashes.

This was the reason why Long Niang flinched now.

If she was still the former empress in the Dragon Palace, Jiuyou believed that she would choose to ignore Bal's soul fragments without hesitation. After all, for her at that time, there was nothing better than continuing to stay in Lord Ashes. The side is more important.

The so-called Dragon Kingdom and the so-called empress are just "tools" for Lord Ashes.

So the "resentment and dislike" that Sshutia said to her at that time was actually quite right.

she.
Just a very selfish person.

But it was precisely because Lord Ashes took her to hide her identity and came to the southern border, allowing her to see the real appearance of the demi-humans, and allowing her to see the people living hard under the Dragon Kingdom.

more and
Let her see those former companions and their descendants.

Jiuyou's mentality has quietly changed.

Putting Lord Ashes first is still her unchanging creed, but whether she is still "worthy" by Lord Ashes' side, after the trip to the southern border, Jiuyou already has a heart that although she doesn't want to face it, An answer that must be admitted.

She doesn't deserve it.

How can a person who has turned the country into such a country deserve it?How can a person who doesn't even care about the descendants of his former companions be worthy?Just as Bal questioned her sharply at the end, what else is left of her except strength and good-looking skin.

and so.

After Jiuyou took a deep breath, she had already made a decision in her heart.

She can no longer continue to "selfishly" use strength and appearance to occupy the position next to Lord Ashes.

She couldn't stand still any longer.

I need to improve myself.

And right now, this is her chance to take another step forward, to try to do what a real "Empress" should do.

First he is worthy of the status of "Empress", and then he is worthy and then stays by Mrs Hui Hui's side.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ashes."

After a moment of silence, Long Niang spoke, but Liao Ji smiled at this Jiuyou's choice.

"Sorry for what?"

"I know that now is the time when you need your strength and me the most, but I still want to use this ritual of Bal's."

Soon Jiuyou added another sentence: "If you allow."

"There is no permission or disallowance. No matter which decision you make, I will face it with you. Of course, you can choose to take this step. In comparison, I am happier."

Liao Ji is telling the truth, not only for the dragon lady in front of him, but also for the remaining four "them". Liao Ji doesn't want them to see only themselves forever, everyone has other goals, pursuits, Career, this is what Liao Ji wants to see.

It's like a personal guard, and an empress who is respected by countless people. It is obvious that the latter will be more exciting as a wife, right?

cough.

"Master Ashes, will you still remember Jiuyou in the future?" Long Niang asked suddenly.

"What?"

"Will you forget my name like you did to Bal? If Jiuyou is no longer the strongest, loses his talent in the ceremony, and becomes an ordinary dragon-human demihuman, you will deprive Jiuyou of Power, do you want to give it to the new guard? Is that human named Erin, you plan to use to replace Jiuyou? You."

Seeing Long Niang's small mouth, with a cute and pitiful posture that she has never seen before, her small hand is clutching the corner of her clothes, and the other hand is holding her fingers, as if counting the "tragic" encounters after counting, Liao Ji Hastily interrupted.

"Jiuyou! What are you thinking! I, am I such a utilitarian person in your eyes!?"

Recall what Lord Ashes did 500 years ago.

Long Niang nodded to Liao Ji.

But seeing Master Hui Ember's angry look, Jiuyou hurriedly shook his head again in order not to make Master Hui Ember angry.

"you you!"

Liao Ji was very angry that Long Niang had such an idea of ​​"dealing with the funeral", but what was even more angry was that after thinking about his previous behavior in the game, it seemed that there was really nothing to refute.

"In short! Jiuyou, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will never abandon you! In addition, don't be so pessimistic, didn't I say, no matter what you choose, I will face it with you! "

"Together. Facing?"

"Of course, how could I just let you sacrifice strength alone, and then just watch by myself!" Liao Ji said without hesitation.

"Cocoa"

"No, but even if you don't trust me, you have to trust Reina."

Liao Ji's words made Long Niang even more puzzled.

What does this have to do with Lena.

Liao Ji snorted coldly.

Counting down every node since I came from the Holy Kingdom to the Dragon Kingdom, I will find the shadow of the pink-haired succubus, from the hands and feet on "Tears of Hearthstone" at the very beginning, to Jiuyou in the sealed city Arriving at the same time as Sshutia, and at the end, Ruan Ruo laid the groundwork for this moment, and jumped out to help "read" the training manual of Bal's soul fragment.

If it was a coincidence once or twice, but this was the third time, Liao Ji would not believe that the pink-haired succubus hadn't been staring at them all the time.

It is very likely that even Baer's soul fragment and the "blessing ceremony" that is the key to solving the Dragon Kingdom are all within Leina's expectation.

That being the case, based on what I know about Lena, it is absolutely impossible for Lena to really let Jiuyou take risks. There must be some safer and safer measures, such as modifying the ceremony of Baer to be more advanced. Reduce the power needed or something.

After all, Ball just "alienated" from the original guard to become a priest of the "power department".

But pink-haired succubus, that's the real thing, the pinnacle of the real "power system". For Lena, improving Bal's ritual is not difficult. There is no magic formula in this world that is hard to beat. As a genius Rena's.

What made Liao Ji confirm this from the bottom of his heart was actually the memory of how to perform the ceremony in his mind now.

The training manual was written by Leina, she could have just let Jiuyou receive Bal's soul fragments, but why did she include herself in the list?

obviously.

This proves that Reina has found out a ritual method that can complete the blessing at a lower cost, and this method requires his participation.

This is not beyond Liao Ji's expectations. After all, he is also the "Emperor of Ashes". Although his level is gone, such a special existence must be a bit of a front, and he can't help with a mere blessing ceremony?
How to do it.

Liao Ji turned his attention again. After he said the four key words "Trust Leina" to Long Niang, it was like a key to unlock the seal, causing the text on the manual to change again.

A brand new and improved method of "blessing ceremony" immediately appeared in front of their eyes.

After a quick look.

This latest method of breaking the curse of the sub-human race and building a beautiful dragon kingdom at the least cost is very simple. Liao Ji read it carefully, and the whole article needs to be assisted by Jiuyou, and there are even only three short words .

Dragon Knight.
