Chapter 73 Bloody Road: War ④

Not long after the soldier left with the Void Engine, Zhao Yanxiang looked somewhere in the room and said, "Come out! I can sense your position!"

After a moment of silence somewhere in the room, a short girl appeared out of thin air and looked at Zhao Yanxiang and said, "Is that really the case? Ling Sang is right...you are not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the people who appeared one after another behind the short girl and said, "Tell me! What role do you players play?"

The little girl was silent for a moment and then said: "You can call me Snacks! Players... Humph... Only since that incident... Each of us thinks we are players!"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yanxiang said, "I don't know what you've been through! But since you're here! It's not without purpose! Isn't it? Snack classmate?"

After a moment of silence, Snack said: "Okay! Let's talk straight! We need to communicate with the other you! But we can't find his location... Only you can call him!"

Zhao Yanxiang was stunned for a moment and then said: "Another me? What if I refuse?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Snack said, "I hope you don't refuse! Although we... really can't do anything about you for the time being!"

After a long silence, Zhao Yanxiang said: "Okay! Only this time! You heard it too... help me!"

Not long after Zhao Yanxiang's voice fell, a woman in casual clothes appeared behind Zhao Yanxiang and said, "Hello? I want to say...we don't know each other? And...the other me! Don't call me if you have nothing to do, okay?" ?”

Zhao Yanxiang turned around and looked at the strange woman and said, "You...forget it! I don't want to complain! Don't you have a fixed gender?"

The woman tidied her long fluffy hair and said, "Gender? It's long gone! Ever since I became a pure Laplace... I have long since lost my biological characteristics!"

Zhao Yanxiang said helplessly: "Can't you fix your image? I can hardly recognize you!"

The woman was stunned for a while and then said: "May I try harder? Besides... we basically don't meet each other! Don't we? (Gaze)"

The snack stared at by the woman was stunned for a while and then said: "Senior, you are the first batch of time travelers, right? Next snack! From an earth-like civilization..."

The woman shook her head and said, "I'm not interested in where you guys are from! Tell me! Why are you looking for me!"

After a moment of silence, Snacks said: "This... this is a bit troublesome to say! You... what should we call you?"

The woman waved her hand and said, "You call me Laplace or Moon Witch! Both are OK! After all, I don't have the concept of existence... What you see now is just a part of me!"

After a moment of silence, Snacks said: "Then I will call you the Witch of the Moon! Can I ask? You are not the only one who holds this title?"

The Witch of the Moon nodded and said, "This title is not the first generation! Neither am I... To be precise! There will be multiple Witches of the Moon in the same time and space! Of course! Basically, they are all more or less related to me. Already!"

After a moment of silence, Snack said: "Then! Let's make a deal! A deal about magical girls!"

The Moon Witch was stunned for a moment and then said, "Magic girl's deal? Are you trading magic girl-related things with the witch? Are you crazy?"

Snack shook his head and said, "I'm not crazy! I know...I know what I'm doing! Can you help us?"

The Moon Witch said after a moment of silence: "Do whatever you want! If this is your request! Just do it according to your ideas!"

Snacks nodded and said: "Thank you! Moon Witch... looking forward to the moment when I will be back with you again! (Disappear)"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the place where the snack disappeared and said, "Tell me something! About you? Another me!"

The Moon Witch was stunned for a while and then said: "You want to know? (Come closer) It's a pity! You are too weak! I can't tell you!"

Zhao Yanxiang sighed and said: "How strong is considered strong? So strong that you are exiled by the world? Or..."

The Moon Witch sighed and said, "You don't need to be as strong as us! I'll tell you when your attributes exceed [-] million!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the increasingly transparent Moon Witch and asked, "One hundred million attributes? That's easy to say! My current attributes are only 35!"

The Moon Witch narrowed her eyes and said, "I will become stronger in the future! And...forget it! You will understand later! (Disappear)"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the place where the Moon Witch disappeared and said, "Sure enough! Ask for nothing... Shadow! How's the situation?"

The shadow emerging from the ground was silent for a moment and then said: "Not optimistic! The imperial army is in a hard fight!"

Zhao Yanxiang frowned and said: "Is the empire in a hard fight? Although I thought of such a development at the beginning!"

Shadow looked at Zhao Yanxiang and asked: "The main body? How about...we intervene! And send the G1 team to attack the kingdom!"

Zhao Yanxiang waved his hand and said, "We can't help too many empires! I feel that empires are convenient...unstable!"

The shadow frowned and asked: "Is the main body planning to assist the empire to clean up the civil strife? We don't need it..."

Zhao Yanxiang shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in helping the empire clean up the civil strife! My purpose is only one from beginning to end!"

Shadow nodded and said, "I see! I'm going to find them now (disappear)"

After Shadow left, a weak figure staggered into the room and said, "Mr. Zhao...my proposal! What's your answer?"

Zhao Yanxiang turned to look at the chief of staff and said, "Proposal? To overthrow the empire? What are the benefits of doing it?"

After hesitating for a moment, the chief of staff said: "Can you answer my question first! I'll talk to you later... (sit down)"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the panting chief of staff and was silent for a moment, then said: "I'm not a child! Don't try to deceive me with these tricks...Say it straight! The reason! (throws out a bottle of potion)"

The chief of staff took the potion and drank it and said, "No one wants to be a traitor! I am no exception! But...the House of Elders believes that His Majesty has lost control...well..."

Zhao Yanxiang was stunned for a while and then said: "What does your emperor's loss of control have to do with me? Besides! You betrayed your own country... With such a reason! Do you think you can convince me?"

The chief of staff took a long breath and said, "I know! But! I still hope that you...can agree!"

Zhao Yanxiang sighed and said, "Let's do this! I'll give you a chance!"

The chief of staff resisted the pain and sat up and said, "How do you say you agreed? That matter..."

Zhao Yanxiang shook his head and said, "Give me a chance! It doesn't mean I promise you! (Hands out a crystal token)"

The chief of staff was about to speak after taking the crystal token, when a familiar voice sounded: "I'm here to see you! Mr. Zhao!"
