Struggling to survive in the hands of the male protagonist who also wears books

Vera's eyes were warm and excited, staring at Feili closely, waiting for Feili's answer as if seeking approval.

Feili opened his mouth slightly, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, he coughed a bit, a little embarrassed: "What you said... I don't really understand it."

The expression on Vera's face froze for a moment.

Philip continued: "For me, magic is just a purely useful tool, it is enough to make me do things more effectively and conveniently; I’m not particularly interested in exploring the mysteries of the human body itself just mentioned.”

Vera was stunned for more than a minute this time, the excitement on her face just now disappeared, and she changed into an indescribable expression, as if she was watching an incomprehensible strange event: "You are... How did you break through the holy rank?"

Of course, it relies on the plug-in of Phoenix Blood Essence.

But I can't say this, Feili coughed again, touched his nose: "Maybe I'm smarter."

Vera looked at him, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Just talk nonsense, since you haven't found your own magical path, you should have used foreign objects to improve like your ancestors, right? Although this can be done in advance You have the strength of the holy rank, but if you want to further improve, you still have to find the most suitable path for you."

"Further improvement?" Philip touched his chin in doubt, "Isn't the holy rank the pinnacle of this world?"

Vera raised her eyebrows in surprise, glanced at him, the smile on her face subsided a little, and became serious: "I didn't expect you didn't even know this; since you have called me teacher so many times before, then Let me teach you another lesson today."

Philip naturally had no objection, anyway, he was only here to delay Vera this time, and Vera was willing to spend his tongue, and he was happy to delay the time as long as he just sat where he was.

Vera put on the same serious expression she had when she was teaching Feili in the Frozen Forest, and she looked a little cute: "Although in our world, the holy rank is already achievable by ordinary people. The limit, but in fact, there should be many other worlds outside of our world, and after getting out of the constraints of our world, our strength should and can go further."

She paused, then waved her right hand lightly, a flame and a thunderbolt appeared in her palm: "Not to mention anything else, the divine bird Phoenix that bestowed divine power on the ancestors and the God of Thunder enshrined by the Thunder Empire for generations are both far away. Beyond the existence of the holy rank, it can be seen that the road after the holy rank has not been cut off."

Feili was a little surprised. He had never considered this issue before. The original book said that the holy rank is the pinnacle of the world, so he happily accepted this setting. He didn't even think about whether he could continue to move forward after the holy rank. .

He tapped the system in his heart: "Tong, what do you think of what Vera said?"

"What do you think?"

"The road after the holy steps..."

"Ah, this, after the holy rank, you can continue to improve yourself. Otherwise, do you think that Phoenix and the like are born so powerful?"

Philip said awkwardly: "...I really think so."

The system sneered.

"Then why does the original book say that the holy rank is the pinnacle of this world?"

"Because this world can only accommodate the strength of the holy rank. If you want to break through to a higher level, you can only go to another world that can accommodate a higher level of power—otherwise, why do you think Phoenix entrusts the task to Kerry? Instead of coming directly to this world to solve the problem?"

"The phoenix can't come to this world? Didn't it come before?"

"Although I don't know the situation at that time, but a divine beast with the strength of the phoenix, if it wants to enter this low-level world, it must completely restrain its own strength; it is of course very simple for a complete and healthy phoenix, but It won't be so easy after being cursed."

Fili nodded, and finally resolved one of his little doubts.

"I didn't expect Krisina to have cast her eyes out of this world..." Feili sighed, and complained to the system in a strange way, "I always feel that it doesn't fit with her, a person who is bent on revenge. ?”

Judging from Philip's previous stories about Krisina and his brief contact with the Lich and Saintess, this imperial red rose hundreds of years ago has now transformed into a black rose for revenge, with a deep love for the Phoenix. There is a subtle sense of dissonance between her hatred and madness, and Vera's current exploration of the magic path and the world.

Fili frowned, and suddenly noticed a small detail just now, his heart suddenly felt a little cold, he raised his head suddenly, looked at Vera, and asked tentatively: "Just now, did you call Phoenix I the ancestor?"

Vera was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't thought of the meaning of Fili's inexplicable question, she just replied: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Fili frowned, feeling something was wrong in his heart, and couldn't explain it, so he continued to express his fleeting thoughts just now: "After going through those things, you are still willing to admit that Phoenix I is your ancestor?"

Judging from Krisina's hostility towards the Phoenix bloodline, after the rebellion, she felt completely at odds with the descendants of the Phoenix bloodline...

Vera gave him a strange look, as if thinking of something, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face, and she sighed softly: "No matter what, the blood of Phoenix is ​​always flowing in my body."

Phoenix's bloodline?

Fili frowned.

Krisianna is the daughter of the Murta family, so she should have nothing to do with Phoenix I's bloodline; unless she has been a Phoenix magician before, it can barely be explained.

But if she is the phoenix magician of Icharis I, then when Krisina started a rebellion, Icharis I could use the phoenix blood to make Krisina directly suffer from the backlash of the blood of the phoenix. How could she be alive and kicking? Today, hundreds of years later?

Either Krisina has a way to resist the phoenix magician being manipulated by the phoenix bloodline, or...

Feli pressed his chest, whose heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his voice became tense involuntarily: "What is your relationship with Krisina?"

Vera was really stunned this time, with an unconcealable surprise on her face, and even a trace of disappointment that Feili couldn't understand: "So you don't know who I am?"

Philip pursed his lips and shook his head.

Vera looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly laughed again, her expression suddenly became a little haughty, looked at Fei Li, gently stroked her chest with her right hand, and said seriously:

"My name is Ofina Phoenix.

"The Kristina Murta you mentioned just now is my mother."

Fili stared at her blankly, unable to say a word.

The name Orfina Phoenix was very unfamiliar to him. He had never heard of this name before, and he could only tell from the surname "Phoenix" that this was a member of the royal family or the Phoenix family.

But if you add the premise of "mother is Krisina"...

The root cause of the complete break between Krisina and Icharis I, and the initial trigger of a series of events after that, was the daughter of Krisina and Icharis I!

Is Vera the little princess who was insulted by her biological father and killed by mistake by the Phoenix family?

She didn't die back then?

Or was it saved by Krisina with undead magic?

Fili opened his mouth and was about to say something when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

——If Vera is not Krisina's avatar, then who will be Krisina's last avatar besides the Lich Saintess and Mrs. Brunei?

——Now that the Phoenix Empire has basically been controlled by Krisina, where will this clone be?

Fili's heart gradually cooled down.

Seeing the unpredictable expression on Fei Li's face, Vera thought for a while, and then understood what Fei Li was worried about, so she couldn't help laughing briskly:

"I'm still wondering why you suddenly found me here. It turned out that you mistook me for your mother and wanted to hold me back? If you hold me back, is it because you want Crete to do something in the palace?"

There was a hint of secret pity on Vera's expression, and her voice sounded a little hollow in Fili's ears: "That Crete is so unfortunate."

..............................

When Fili was invited into Vera's workshop, Crete had successfully sneaked into the familiar palace with the help of magic props and systems provided by Fili.

It's just that things are different, and the interior of the palace, which was well-organized under the management of Leif II's internal officials, has completely changed.

There were almost no guards and maids in the palace, and even the few figures I saw occasionally had dead silence and indifference in their eyes, not like the eyes of a living person at all.

After pondering for a while, Crete bypassed these poor people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and went to the emperor's bedroom.

Different from the Divine Mighty Ax that has been enshrined all the time, the Phoenix Ring, an artifact of the Phoenix Empire, has always been worn by the emperor. He wears it from the time he succeeds to the throne, until it is passed on to the next emperor, and he rarely takes it off.

That's why Crete didn't think that Leif II would be killed, because the Phoenix Ring would protect his master from those dirty methods.

And if Raefe II took it off, it is likely that Mrs. Brunei persuaded her to have an affair with Mrs. Brunei in the emperor's bedroom.

Danyate was eroded by the blackened bloodline, and Mrs. Brunei was not the heir of the Phoenix bloodline, so they couldn't wear the Phoenix Ring. The Phoenix Ring was probably still in the emperor's palace.

It was close to the bedroom, and the system's monitoring results also showed that the Phoenix Ring was nearby.

Crete easily slipped into the dormitory and headed straight for the monitoring system.

Entering the deepest bedroom, for fear of waking up Danyate and causing trouble, Crete slowed down and walked in quietly. After looking around, he found that there was a completely unexpected person sitting on the big bed in the bedroom. people.

Freya's face was still a little sickly and pale, and she looked more and more weak while sitting on the gorgeous emperor's bed.On her slender fingers was the phoenix ring, an artifact symbolized by successive emperors, with a gentle smile on her face as always:

"Brother Crete, long time no see."
