I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

When St. Potius was recuperating in the capital, Tenas, Long Xiangtian talked with St. Helena.

She is an intelligent, energetic, decisive and beautiful woman.

However, there was no subtle emotion between the two of them, just some quarrels.

Opinions differ, but fundamentally, they just aren't compatible.

However, they still value each other very much in their hearts.

She is one of the most open minded saints I have ever met.

His sanity and mind are righteous, despite his fusion with the Daedric ego.

It helped that expectations were pretty low from the start.

My lord, I have brought those on the list as you requested.

Well done.

Long Xiangtian, who was sitting with Helena, straight to the point, praised Sige for his hard work.

The reason why he was in charge of bringing them here was firstly to avoid Rosencrez's suspicion, and secondly because there were important people on the list.

Moreover, his other courtiers with mana are currently returning to the Rhine Kingdom to perform different tasks, and no one is available.

Since he claims to be the minister of the God of Light, he cannot arrange them on the front line for the time being.

Dad, I miss you!
Leah jumped into Long Xiangtian's arms, with a bright smile on her face.

Joanna came in while Long Xiangtian was patting his hair.

I see you are in good health, Your Majesty.

Of course.Nothing happened at Blackburn while I was away?
Yes, it's boringly peaceful here.But can I really entrust the kingdom to that child and appoint her as regent?

The so-called regent is Irene.

Long Xiangtian nodded.

Erin has no desire for power.And Aris is back in Blackburn now, and if something goes wrong, she will help.

Aris is working with Alpine, Lucas and Agnes to set up a magical engineering laboratory in Blackburn.

They will first analyze the composition and materials of the Kerry Potter fruit, and then refer to the research diary that Jack got from Bronze Rock Mountain to make several inventions.This may not be an easy task, but Long Xiangtian believes that their abilities will be more than enough.

I fear she will accept a marriage proposal from some nobleman.She doesn't seem to take relationships seriously
Don't worry, I let her inform me first and then make a decision.

Also, Irene has been trained to look like a princess in the past, so she's unlikely to cause controversy among the nobles.They were naturally baffled by her appointment as regent, though.

While Long Xiangtian was comforting Joanna, King Philip II of Lydia walked into the stone room while coughing.

Father!

Oh Joanna! Long time no see.

The father and son hugged each other and shed tears of happiness.

They are all worried about Aleister's conspiracy and the other's safety.

When I get blackmail, I don't know what to do.I can't do anything.
The Rhine King secretly sent someone to save us.He even defeated the demon himself out of mercy.

Philip II owed them a lot, so he wanted to help Long Xiangtian in various ways.

Even so, he came this far just to see his daughter.

Is the situation in the Kingdom of Lydia peaceful now?
There are still some things that need to be taken care of.We have to deal with the epidemic spread by Aleister, and the nobles who have joined forces with the devil must be eliminated.We also have to stop the hordes of monsters coming from other kingdoms.

Unlike the Dane Kingdom that Long Xiangtian took over, the Lydia Kingdom is still in a state of chaos.

Joanna grabbed King Philip II's hand with a worried look on her face.

Beware of those demons, Father.They do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

I know, Joanna.But how long are you going to stay in the Rhine Kingdom?If you don't plan to marry again, go back to the Kingdom of Lydia.Of course not now, but after the country stabilizes.

King Philip II wants Joanna to marry Long Xiangtian.

Although Long Xiangtian's skills and abilities are excellent, his character is not bad either.

Joanna, who sensed his intention, took a look, and she hesitated.

me.
Joanna, it's time to tell him the story.

Long Xiangtian, who was listening to the conversation, spoke to the woman.

Then Joanna stared at him in surprise.

Is it too early, Your Majesty?

No, the more time is wasted, the more embarrassing it will be for you.

"... "

Joanna shut her mouth, thoughtful.

Seeing this, King Philip II asked her inexplicably.

Do you have any concerns, Joanna?Don't tell me, did you accidentally get pregnant?

No! Absolutely not.
Then don't feel burdened, tell your father.

in fact
Joanna briefly explained what happened.

King Philip II immediately opened his eyes wide.

You became the heirs of Queen Iona?
We were originally from the Kravis family, father.so i can ent

Joanna showed Queen Iona's Guardian Cross to her father.He had now seen that evidence and could no longer refute it.

Philip II looked at her blankly, he had nothing to say.

"..."

I will stay at Blackburn and try to follow in Queen Iona's footsteps.Since she left such a relic, there must be other missions or relics somewhere in the Rhine Kingdom.

If you really believe in it, then do it.I will support you as much as I can through King of the Rhine.

In fact, it often happens by coincidence that lost family lines from the past are rediscovered.Many old surnames will reappear.

After the war is over, the royal family of the defeated country will be wiped out immediately, or they will go into exile and disperse on their own.

The nobles and ordinary citizens of the kingdom tend to forget and lose their surnames after becoming war orphans.

Shortly after the conversation, Long Xiangtian asked King Philip II about the situation of the Kingdom of Lydia in detail.

How bad is the outbreak spread by Aleister?
Many people in my kingdom have died.Some provinces are empty because there are no survivors.

It was as if the Black Death had ravaged the kingdom.

Long Xiangtian recalled his memory, trying to recall whether there was a similar epidemic in the past.

Is it a ghost disease?

It was a disease that occurred on the night of the full moon.Evil spirits will infiltrate the bodies of sleeping people.Symptoms included low energy, a sudden drop in blood pressure, trouble breathing, and convulsions every night.

In addition, in areas with poor sanitation, it can exert greater power and animals can become infected.

The antidote was found by the priests.

A potion made with plant-type monster datura as medicinal material.

If magic is added to it, most of the symptoms will be cured except for the extremely bad ones.

The problem is that it is not easy to find Datura, but Long Xiangtian already knows some locations.

A cave on a cliff on the western coast of Lydia Kingdom.

This is the ruins that Long Xiangtian intends to go to, to retrieve the dark breath of Hydra, which is the material for making the colorful rainbow ring.

Devil's Crystal Cave].

In fact, there were no devils in that cave at all, but the screams of Datura when it was uprooted eventually led to that weird name.

Anyway, if he was going to the Kingdom of Lydia, he had to go there first.

He now also has a saint with him, so he doesn't have to worry about the debuff from Mandragoras.

Although he has become a demon, he is resistant to these.

Ah, I don't think I can accept the saint's protection anymore.

Of course not.My magic is like poison to you.

Helena smiled and put her hands on her hips.

Then King Philip II looked at Long Xiangtian, his face was painted with absurdity.

King of the Rhine, what are you talking about?Don't you want to introduce this woman to me?

She is just a simple acquaintance.This woman is St. Helena.She is currently under my protection due to some circumstances.

Long Xiangtian tried his best to conceal the information that Helena came from Etria-Rodinas.

Members of Pronoa and the Golden Rose Association are everywhere, so he must pay attention to his words and deeds everywhere.

Even King Philip II felt the strange emotion, but didn't get to the bottom of it.

Indeed, traveling alone for a saint can be dangerous.The Saint Apelia Empire has also been in chaos recently.

what happened?

I've heard rumors that some saint is being hunted down by demons.Also, they say she always has a paladin by her side.

Is she causing trouble everywhere like Princess Eleonora?
I don't know about this.I don't think it's possible for a saint to behave like this
Now is not the time to worry about others.

King Philip II looked anxious, and Long Xiangtian called Sieg who was waiting outside.

Sig, bring the captive.

yes, my lord.

Sige came in with a woman who was tightly bound.

King Philip II reacted in surprise when he saw her strangeness.

Whoa, what the hell is this?She is like a hybrid of cat and human.

She is an orc, one of a race from another world.Her name is Cat.

Why did you bring me here, human?

Cassie's eyes turned into cat-like slits, staring at Long Xiangtian.

This is pretty crazy provocation.

Long Xiangtian stood up from his seat and grabbed her long tail.

Ugh.!

It is said that orcs hate being touched by their tails.is that true?
Although he already knew the answer, he still pretended not to know.

Mao'er resentful, cursed at Long Xiangtian.

This perverted human dares to tease me! Get your dirty hands off my tail immediately!

Interesting.If the orc's tail is touched, will it be considered harassment?

Long Xiangtian teased the cat a few more times, and then put the devil En En

Ugh.!

Orcs, they say, hate being touched by their tails.is this real?

Although he already knew the answer, he still pretended not to know.

Mao'er resentful, cursed at Long Xiangtian.

This perverted human dares to tease me! Get your dirty hands off my tail immediately!

Interesting.If the orc's tail is touched, will it be considered harassment?

Long Xiangtian teased Kaxi a few more times, and then poured demon power into her body through his tail.

The cat stopped fighting and started crying like a cat.

Meow~! Master, please give me orders!
There was a sudden change in attitude.

Joanna and King Philip II and Helena were stunned.

What, how did you do it?Yes. Brainwashed?
I just tamed her.

He subdued Manticore in the Memory Garden, and it occurred to him to try Cathy as well.

His idea was that since she was no different from a beast monster, could she be tamed?
Of the patriarchs I've caught so far, Cassie is the most useful.

Cassie is a beast, so she is not restricted in rugged mountainous or densely forested areas.On top of that, she has the advantage of being able to climb walls without the need for additional equipment.

If he trains a squad of orcs with her as his mainstay, it will greatly strengthen his army.

If the other patriarchs become stronger in the future, it won't be too late to make them his subjects.

Katsi rubbed his face against Long Xiangtian's leg, and flicked his tail lightly.

Helena laughed out loud.

Pooh!Who are you?Are you going to grab her by the tail again?
No, because she would kneel in front of me when she was in heat.

Really annoying.You obviously already knew about it, but you went to bother her.

I don't think it matters because she's going to hate me in the future anyway.

I should also be careful because I don't know when you will harass me.

I'm not interested in a woman who condemns others, Miss Saint.

Do you think I'm interested, Mr. Animal Cruelty?
Long Xiangtian and Helena started to quarrel again.

In this case, they are easily misunderstood.

King Philip II whispered to Joanna in a dazed expression.

Are these two lovers, Joanna?

Probably not.

But oddly enough, she felt the two of them hit it off.

Joanna stared at Helena with envy in her eyes.

After Joanna and King Philip II ended their heart-to-heart reunion, Long Xiangtian checked his status, and then began to negotiate with Helena.

Others
Affinity with the dead increased by 25%.

Increases resistance to dark magic by 25%.

Increases the power of dark attribute skills by 25%.

This is about 64% of the data before my regression.

Considering he hasn't had a year since his regress, that's a huge increase.

But the higher his stats, the more difficult it is to increase them further.

However, so far, most of the growth artifacts he has collected have reached B-level, and some will reach A-level in the near future, so the experience points spent on items will gradually be returned to him.

I really collected a lot of artifacts.

Some were not shown in the status window because his stats were not increased, but he got some extra artifacts, such as the Cradle of Sorrow, Pendant of Memory, and Hand of Midas.

He also has various alchemy ingredients, love potions, antidotes, and other useful items.

However, in addition to the harvest, he also lost some items.

The Messenger's Wings disappeared after 3 uses, and Basilisk's Scale Suit and Berserker's Plate Armor Suit were also severely damaged in the battle with Lord Yarsnova.

It is difficult to use them in large-scale battles or when facing strong enemies.

Fortunately, he can receive the stat-boosting effect simply by placing them in the belt slot, but he needs to repair or upgrade the item to use it.

Upgrading refers to combining existing equipment with other materials or equipment to create new equipment of a higher level.It would not have been possible without the help of a good blacksmith, though.

As expected, he had no choice but to recruit Hans, the king of cooking, and Dexter, the rune master, in the Kingdom of Lydia.

Dexter will be able to upgrade the artifacts he has.

With his help, Long Xiangtian was able to use artifacts that he seldom used as materials, thereby reducing the number of systematically increased equipment.

I guess I don't have to worry about my rank and title.

He still has two free class slots.

Unlike his original plan, though, there have been unexpected developments, such as gaining the rank of Asura, so from now on, he has to be careful.

Once a class is decided, it is generally impossible to change it.

On the other hand, in terms of titles, there are some good titles he can get, but there are also some unnecessary titles, and he doesn't need to waste time on them.

Thinking about it now, it's time for me to expand my family too.

In this case, there is no need for him to deliberately lower his sect level.

He had already acquired the kingdoms of the Rhine and Denmark and allied with the neighboring kingdoms of Lydia and Isuna.

He also established a friendly relationship with the Celestial Realms of the Apelian Empire.

In other words, since he is the Western Lord of the Western Continent, it makes no sense to hide their development potential from now on.

He must actively improve the rank of their family in order to obtain more rewards and cultivate capable courtiers.

It is also necessary to win over more patriarchs, or turn them into his subjects, to lay the foundation for the conquest of the continent of Ace.

In the long run, it is necessary to collect the remaining four materials of the Rainbow Ring and restore it after finding the three ancient books with the help of Etria-Rodinus.

Sealing the 72 Demon King and unraveling the hidden power of Lemegdon is also an important task that cannot be ignored.

More and more important tasks for his attention piled up.

When Long Xiangtian sighed, Helena next to him spoke.

You look like you have taken on all the troubles in the world by yourself.

Do you think I'm in an easy position now?

of course not.But the more impatient you are, the faster the abyss inside you will consume you.

Helena was warning Long Xiangtian that he could not control the power of the Demon God.

He is inherently human, so he has limitations.
