Aboul hotel.
The royal green room.
The air froze for a few seconds.
As time passed, people started to notice a certain truth.
Triste’s expression was getting paler and paler.
“This can’t be right… what’s going on?” she muttered in shock, completely stunned.
Ilya looked at her: “Her Majesty the Empress had ordered, only after we destroy the [Demon King Order] will we come to pass judgement on the traitor”
“Destroy it!? How could you have gone against an [Order]!” Triste shouted in disbelief.
Ilya answered: “In the end, [Kindling] was still at the weakest stage of an [Order], I simply prepared several high-powered disposable weapons, led them into a trap and eliminated them all”
Triste glared at her: “You don’t have such a thing”
Ilya calmly replied: “I don’t—— but the royal family does”
Triste turned to look at Laura.
The entire royal bloodline had already been killed, the only person left was this girl here.
Triste’s gaze swept through and landed on Laura’s little backpack.
A bright green small backpack, made from the vines and leaves of the Saint Bramble Tree and completely unassuming at a glance.
But this backpack could connect directly to the Saint Bramble Tree.
Indeed, as the last remaining member of the royal bloodline, Laura was the only person capable of directly contacting the Saint Bramble Tree through this backpack.
Only Laura could have obtained permission from the Saint Bramble Tree to bypass the Laws of time and space, directly extracting items from the several ten thousand years old royal treasury and use them as she liked.
Thinking that, Triste finally felt nervous.
The Bramble Bird royal treasury was unimaginably huge.
Even as someone who had been closely serving the royal family for years on end, Triste didn’t know exactly the quantity and quality of the treasures the royal family actually held.
Perhaps even the King himself didn’t know how much treasure he had.
Perhaps, maybe there really were enough disposable weapons of mass destruction that could eliminate all the demonized in there at once?
[Kindling]…
Triste’s heart sank.
Ilya’s voice once again came into her ears.
“Without any carriers, a newly born [Order] will simply die, this was secret, but someone like you should know about it”
She looked over Triste and asked in wonder: “Was this type of garbage [Order] really worth you betraying the Kingdom?”
As if she was struck by a sledgehammer to the stomach, Triste was speechless, unable to say anything.
The automatic machine gun couldn’t help but loudly asked: “So [Kindling] wasn’t able to find a suitable catalyst?”
“Indeed”
“Which means, you’ve already destroyed the [Demon King Order]?” Lady Tethys asked again to confirm.
“We did” Ilya confirmed again.
Lady Tethys’ tense expression finally loosened.
“Really… how many years has it been since we were so alarmed?”
She stroked her chest and sighed in relief.
Gu Qing Shan then asked: “Lady Tethys, can you inform her majesty Laura and general Ilya of the current situation?”
“Sure”
“The war had started, the current battlefield is in a crack in space, three World Layers away from Aboul”
“Combatants of the 900 million World Layers as well as several large organizations and the Allied Army have all arrived at the battlefield”
“Countless True Demons had descended, bringing the war into a tense stalemate”
“According to the intelligence we’ve received, the Lord of True Demons was on his way as well”
“This would be an all-out war that decides the fate of the entire 900 million World Layers!”
Lady Tethys put a full report on the table and told everyone: “The intel is all here, you can check them in your own time”
“Now that the situation here is resolved, I need to get to the battlefield as well”
She chanted an incantation, about to leave.
The automatic machine gun spoke: “I’ll go with you!”
“Come here” Lady Tethys spoke.
The automatic machine gun and his subordinates quickly gathered and stood around Lady Tethys.
A light flashed.
They quickly disappeared into the void of space and went away.
The royal green room returned to silence.
Ilya stepped forward and added several more layers of enchantment onto Triste’s restraints.
Laura fell silent, apparently deep in thought.
Gu Qing Shan gently placed Laura on the sofa and left her there.
“Gu Qing Shan, where are you going?” Laura instantly asked.
“Nowhere” Gu Qing Shan answered.
He came to the ice box and took out a black bottle of liquor.
Before going to Triste’s collection world, this was the bottle he was drinking from.
And now, he can finally enjoy it.
As he uncorked the bottle and took off a huge slice from the giant 12-layer cake, Gu Qing Shan simply sat down and leaned back on one of the sofas here.
Going back and forth, doing so many things, I’m really tired.
Now, Triste has been arrested.
The [Demon King Order] is eliminated.
I can finally rest for a bit.
He indulged in the food and drinks, replenishing his stamina and relaxing his tense mind at the same time.
These were all made from the finest ingredients in the 900 million World Layers, so they were all beneficial to the body.
Any cultivator requires large amounts of resources to support their cultivation and battles.
Their never-ending need for resources dreadfully affects a world, enough that the Laws of worlds would respond by creating Tribulations, specifically aiming to take a cultivator’s life whenever they breakthrough as a part of natural selection.
So unlike the legends, cultivators aren’t saints who only drink morning dew and eat air, the quality requirement of food and drinks they consume far surpasses that of a normal person.
Which was why Pill making and Cooking were part of the 6 arts.
“Hey, Gu Qing Shan, aren’t you lacking zeal like this?”
Laura turned to look at him and asked.
“What do you mean I lack zeal?” Gu Qing Shan swallowed a big gulp of liquor, “you know very well what I already did, everyone needs a bit of time to reorganize themselves you know”
“But there’s a war going on out there” Laura protested.
“There is” Gu Qing Shan cut off a big piece of cake and gorged it down, “but that’s a warzone for top-level Combatants of the 900 million World Layers. I’m only a newbie here, I’m still weak, you’re not going to ask me to go throw my life away are you?”
Laura suddenly realized what he said was true.
But Gu Qing Shan’s actions up until now had caused her to instinctively think that he should be thinking of a solution—— a solution to ensure the victory of this war.
It seems I’ve been relying on him too much.
Laura sighed, then glared at Gu Qing Shan in annoyance.
“Is there something else?” Gu Qing Shan took another swig of liquor and asked.
“Do you not feel that eating cake in front of so many people is a rude behavior?” Laura had nothing to do so she picked a fight with him.
“Eating cake in front of you is… rude?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
“It is” Laura nodded.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Ilya.
Ilya also nodded: “Manners are important, her majesty Laura only reminded you about this out of goodwill”
Gu Qing Shan looked to the Bramble Bird guards.
They all nodded at him in a friendly manner.
One of the female guards smiled: “Eating in front of someone else is very uncouth”
This time, Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He now recalled that the Bramble Birds don’t usually eat in front of other people.
The big rooster said he hated this act that the Bramble Bird put on the most.
You can’t eat in front of others huh… ah?
Gu Qing Shan took the entire plate of cake, silently turned his back on everyone and continued to eat.
“…” the rest.
“Hey, even if you turn your back to us, we can still see you eating” Ilya helplessly complained.
“As a cultivator, I spend a lot of energy in battle, so I need to eat to replenish it”
Casually glossing it over, Gu Qing Shan continued to gorge down his food.
He took another big swig of liquor, this time emptying the bottle.
So refreshing!
Enjoying myself like this really does relieve a lot of fatigue and stress.
“Are you really not going to care about the war?” Laura couldn’t help but asked him.
“There are so many bigwigs and peerless Combatants in the war, it won’t even get to be my turn to care—— and also, in life, you shouldn’t think of yourself as being higher than you really are” Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
He flicked his finger, manipulating another bottle of cold liquor from the icebox to fly into his hand.
“I really can’t stand you” Laura sighed.
She walked up and took off a big piece from the 12-layer cake and began to eat.
“Hey weren’t you not supposed to——-” Gu Qing Shan immediately wanted to retort her manner.
“The princess dines!” one of the guards shouted.
Immediately, every Bramble Bird in the room, including Ilya and even Triste herself, turned away, lowered their heads, closed their eyes and turned their backs to Laura.
“Hm? What is it?” Laura looked at Gu Qing Shan.
“…Nothing”
