Chapter 149: The Generous Offer of the Elven Empress

Chapter 149: The Generous Offer of the Elven Empress

After bidding farewell to the wife and daughters of the regent, Rayne returned to the Moonlight Queen's study and sent Alice off so that she could practice using the late queen imprints.

Logically, there was no hurry to learn how to use the imprints in the traditional training curriculum of the Moonlight Queen.

However...

The situation was different now because before Alice was even crowned as the Moonlight Queen, there would be a fierce battle waiting for her in the foreseeable future.

Sebastian was about to be resurrected.

Now that the regent had already taken away the fragment of the statue of Compassion, it was time to use their family's ancestral secret technique to pray to the earth and recall Sebastian who was lost in the ley lines.

As for the Adonis family that the regent belonged to, they had a special mission. All along, they had been the priests in charge of taking care of and managing the elemental ley lines.

The relationship between the Adonis family and the elemental ley lines was rooted in their bloodline.

As the creators of the elemental ley lines, the bloodline flowing through their bodies was the key to opening the back-end management platform of the elemental ley lines.

As an extremely outstanding priest of the ley lines, the forbidden curse that Sebastian used to fuse himself into the earth was in essence a different kind of control over the ley lines.

If they wanted to extract Sebastian from the ley lines, they would also need to conduct an extremely precise ley lines ritual.

Even if it was Rayne and he completely understood the spell system of the ley lines ritual, without the bloodline of the Adonis family, he would not be able to complete the ritual and drag Sebastian out of the earth as well.

Right now, in the entire Leta palace...

The only one who could complete this task was the regent.

The fragment of the goddess statue and nobles with the precious blood of the Moon Goddess.

There were many other complicated miscellaneous items required but they could be gathered in a short period of time. With that, the regent already had all the conditions to summon Sebastian.

Not long after, it would probably be time for Sebastian to descend to the mortal world again.

In that case, it was time for Rayne's plan to enter the next stage.

Thereafter, Rayne contacted the Great Teacher with his communication magical tool.

At that moment, the Great Teacher was working. As the leader of the White Light Courtyard, when the three teachers were fighting the enemies at the border defense line, she had to fight all sorts of mentally and physically exhausting matters in the capital.

In any case...

The Great Teacher expressed that she was very busy today and he should not beat around the bush for any requests.

However, if Rayne needed it... she should be able to make time at night.

Rayne smiled. After arranging a time for his next meeting with the Great Teacher, he asked about serious matters.

"Elktela, is the skeleton you picked up at the northern border still in the White Light Courtyard?"

The Great Teacher asked, "Usually, that thing should be handed over to the palace for safekeeping. However, we can't leave it in the palace this time round, or things will be very passive towards us. What's wrong?"

"I need that right now."

Rayne voiced his thoughts. "I need that skeleton. However, apart from the skeleton, I also need a piece of primitive mithril and a set of alchemy materials for the coronation ceremony. Prepare them for me."

The skeleton of a quasigod was an indispensable material for the Moonlight Queen's coronation ceremony.

However, this so-called quasigod skeleton was not something that could be obtained just by taking a random skeleton from a quasigod—it had to be a skeleton that was purified.

The purified skeleton, primitive mithril and the materials needed for the coronation.

That list immediately made the Great Teacher realize what Rayne wanted to do.

The Great Teacher asked, "You want these materials... are you planning to use up the skeleton now?"

Rayne replied frankly, "Yes."

The Great Teacher was silent for a moment before reminding, "Rayne, let me explain to you. Although the quality of this skeleton is poor, it might be the last pure skeleton in the mortal world. Right now, the only place that can create skeletons, the White Tower, has already been destroyed by your Haines Imperial Guards. Later on, the palace even wasted all the skeleton stockpiles... Therefore, I hope you understand the severity of the matter."

As his enemies became stronger and the intensity of the war increased, at that time, even demigods would be mere pawns.

Therefore, the more super combatants that could reach the level of Histia and Edaline, the better.

There was naturally no way the third-rate skeleton that was about to be squeezed dry by the God Regulating Mechanism could be made into a crown.

However, Rayne had a way to let it unleash its remaining potential.

...

The skies gradually darkened.

As the night gradually enveloped Leta, Rayne used a spell to light up the study. After dinner, he continued to sit at the desk and busy himself with the strategy on the spell conductor.

The night was silent.

Rayne looked at the commotion outside the window and actually felt a little lonely...

At that moment, a dimensional rift suddenly opened behind him.

Ever since they occupied the Astral Platform, the demigods were no longer monitored when they used spatial teleportation in Leta. As such, they could visit every corner of Leta without restraint.

Now, a demigod had visited the study.

The person who returned at this time should be... Alice?

However, before Rayne could turn his head and look at the demigod who tore through space...

A pair of delicate hands covered his eyes first.

Rayne: "...?"

At that moment, Alice's soft and sweet voice sounded. "Your Highness, it's me."

Indeed, the person who visited the Moonlight Queen's study was Alice.

However...

What was the meaning of this?

Rayne asked, "Alice, why are you covering my eyes?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness..."

Alice thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "That has to be kept a secret."

Huh...

Fine.

Rayne did not reject Alice's surprise teasing.

Thereafter, he felt liquid divinity mithril flowing past the sides of his head. The molded liquid mithril turned into silver threads and finally weaved into a soft mithril blindfold.

After putting the blindfold on Rayne, Alice moved her hand away from his eyes.

Rayne's vision was still dark.

Thereafter, he felt it—Alice was now sitting on his thighs.

Alice seemed to be a little nervous today. She sat on Rayne's lap, but this seemingly usual intimate action between the couple actually made her body tremble slightly.

She seemed both excited and shy.

Usually, Alice would not be so nervous.

That tiny detail did not escape Rayne's observation.

At that moment, he already had some guesses. However...

He did not probe further.

He knew that...

At this moment, it was more interesting to pretend to be stupid.
