Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 760 Ifatia's Review Four Hours Later
Potato chips scattered on the floor.
Iffathiya didn't have time to worry about the snack.
She must have gotten up too fast.
She ran into General Yabo, whom she hadn't seen in a century, knocking on the door.
"Yabo? And elder sister, brother-in-law, what are you doing here too...?"
Iffathiya looked closely and discovered that on the other side of the spatial arc, in the mansion room, stood Taliya and Lanqi, from whom she had only separated a few hours ago.
And Abigail, the Imperial Royal Magic Artificer?
On the other side.
"She called you brother-in-law?"
Tolyado gasped and nudged Lanqi with his elbow.
"I told her not to call me that, but I can't convince her."
Lanqi couldn't do anything about Iffathiya; her logic was very much that of a bandit.
In this respect, she was no less than her sister.
"After Barton introduced us to Abigail at the Brilda Opera House, we ran into Cardinal Tolyado, and then Tata discovered that he was General Yabo,"
Lanqi explained the situation to Iffathiya.
Iffathiya's brain short-circuited for a moment.
"Yabo, you've become a Cardinal of the Rebirth Church?"
She asked Tolyado.
"Yeah, it's a good fit for my skills, and there happened to be a vacancy for a Cardinal. A rigid requirement for joining the Rebirth Church and directly filling the position of Cardinal is being the holder of the Primal Tablet. I just happened to meet that requirement, plus my attribute is very special. I found the Pope at the time, and I quickly took office smoothly."
Tolyado took out a translucent tablet and played with it in his fingertips, its silver-white arc of fire gleaming, the same as the space gate, like a white-hot meteor from the age of gods, dazzling and pure.
Sometimes the Cardinals of the Rebirth Church die in office, and neither a new Cardinal is born, nor does a Cardinal obtain the Dual Cardinal Certificate. At that time, the right to appoint the Cardinal will return to the Pope.
Taliya wasn't surprised by this tablet.
The 【Space】 and 【Divination】 attributes, which are located on the last row of the attribute periodic table, cannot be mastered at all without aptitude. Perhaps only Abigail can comprehend space-based magical engineering from it.
The only way to possess space abilities is to obtain a space-based magic card, but because they are so rare, they may be more difficult to find than most sacred cards.
Generally, no one fights for space tablets, because hardly any creature can learn this attribute. Binding it is equivalent to wasting five mana. It is not surprising that Yabo got it.
On the other hand, the fire tablet she has now is a versatile tablet that strong individuals have competed for throughout history.
"Don't look down on rare tablets, okay? Sealing tablets are also a niche series."
Lanqi curiously observed the new tablet, speaking to Taliya in his mind.
【Primal Tablet - Space】
【Category: Equipment Card】
【Rarity: Orange Epic】
【Attribute: Space】
【Tier: 5】
【Passive Effect: Primal Tablets cannot be destroyed, only living beings can soul-bind, and a maximum of one can be bound. Comprehensively enhances all space-attribute magic, martial techniques, equipment, and summons. The tablet will unbind when the soul-bound person dies.】
【Note: The world that has stopped breathing is tightly closed with its eternal beauty.】
He stared at the tablet for a while.
He couldn't understand it.
Lanqi shook his head regretfully.
"It really is you, Yabo! What's going on today? First elder sister, then Yabo, could it be that our loving demon family is about to reunite?"
After clearly sensing Yabo's familiar magic power, Iffathiya cheered and jumped for joy on the spot.
"It's still early for that."
Tolyado shrugged slightly, a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.
Even if everyone in Antanas is protecting Iffathiya's daughter in Ikritte, as Lanqi said, it will be a long time before they, the few great demons in Brilda, can go to the Hutton Kingdom to reunite with old friends.
"There's already hope! My lovely daughter is still waiting for me!"
Iffathiya took brisk steps, leaped through the space gate, and pounced on Taliya, hugging her sister and nuzzling her face.
"Elder sister! I really missed you so much!"
Iffathiya couldn't wait to come to the space barrier of the second-floor mansion in Brilda.
In this kind of independent space, it is especially safe, and it is a rare opportunity for her to temporarily leave the Silver Palace.
"Didn't we just see each other a few hours ago?"
Taliya allowed Iffathiya to hug her with a puzzled expression, occasionally patting Iffathiya's back like she was taking care of Hyphelia.
"A few hours is a long time, okay."
Iffathiya said, completely unconcerned.
"I don't understand you..."
Taliya realized that her younger sister might have really become like a human, while she herself was like an alien who hadn't fully integrated into humanity.
"Let's sit over there and talk."
Abigail pointed to the sofa area in the room.
She found that she had more and more guests.
Although her place was indeed very suitable as a secret meeting base, it was rarely so lively; it was basically her private library where she stayed alone.
"Actually, in addition to the second floor of Abigail's opera house and the Silver Palace under the Brilda Mafia, I have an even more hidden spatial barrier, but the safest way is to go to Abigail's first, and then I'll open the channel."
Tolyado said.
He had long considered the danger in the heart of the Kreithi Empire. If one day an unexpected accident occurred, he would at least have a way out with Abigail.
"I didn't expect you to be so cautious."
Taliya, with Iffathiya hanging on her, walked towards the sofa, giving Tolia a strange look.
"Actually, it's to demonstrate fault tolerance."
Tolyado replied.
"..."
Taliya sat down on the sofa.
She had no more questions.
Tolyado might do the same thing as Planai, but their motives were definitely different.
The towering ceiling and pillars of the Brilda Opera House create an open view, and dark wood furniture intertwines with textured bookshelves.
Several people sat down in the meeting area in the center of the hall, and the floor lamps next to the sofas and low coffee tables added warmth to the late night at eleven o'clock.
"Are you Silver Moon Restoration Society No. 1?"
Lanqi asked Tolyado opposite him.
This was the most important business at hand.
Regarding the Silver Moon Restoration Society alliance.
They wanted to attack Blood Moon City and needed more help.
Even if Iffathiya could remove the searing effect of the Blood King Divine Fire on her body, relying on Tolyado and Iffathiya alone was far from enough.
Tolyado could only hold back one Blood Clan Marquis at most.
And the level 87 Tolyado, no matter which level 88 Blood Clan Ancestor he faced, could only hold them back with a disadvantage, and there was not much hope of defeating them.
According to the mechanism of Blood Moon City, all three teams must be able to pass through the maps guarded by the Marquis before the immunity barrier on the Blood King Palace can be briefly broken.
It was even more difficult for Iffathiya to fight the Blood Clan Marquis.
In addition to Lanqi needing to advance to seventh rank as soon as possible to ensure that he could withstand Duke Raschal's ordinary magic attacks and finding a way to cure Iffathiya, every seventh-rank or higher companion they could find in the Empire was a big piece of weight on the scales of victory.
"Of course, I was the one you asked to find a fiancée that day, the one you chatted with privately."
Tolyado took out his sacred magic card and showed it to Lanqi and Taliya in a grandiose manner.
【Super Long-Range Communication Program - 1】
【Category: Spell Card】
【Rarity: Pink Sacred】
【Attribute: Connection】
【Tier: 6】
【Effect: Compared to ordinary super long-range communication magic, the communication distance and anti-interference ability are stronger.】
【Note: The friendship of the Empire attracts the gathering of those who embrace the imperial power.】
"This series of communication magic was made by Abigail. She used a small part of the principle of the ancient artifact, the Rebirth Certificate, as a blueprint to create a new type of communication magic, so that she could abandon the Rebirth Certificate and achieve a safer connection. As for the few initial finished products, she used the ancient imperial poem 'Ceros Rhapsody' to name them."
He explained, his voice filled with pride for his disciple.
"If you hadn't provoked the Destruction Bishop and ran away, would I have been so scared that I threw away the Saint's Certificate overnight and developed a new communication device?!"
The veins on the back of Abigail's hand throbbed. If there weren't so many people here, she probably would have already taken action.
"Then is Mr. Barton Hall No. 3?"
Lanqi recalled the exchanges in the Silver Moon Restoration Society group that night.
A No. 3 named Compassion asked everyone who could help him get information from Saint Kreithi Monastery about the principles of magical energy fission. His boss was interested, and in exchange, he could help them once.
Thinking about it that way, No. 3 and No. 2 Abigail were acquaintances and it was inconvenient to publicly display special communication methods, and he also had a boss, so it was undoubtedly the Mafia boss, Barton.
"Actually, in principle, even if I know the identities of other members of the Silver Moon Restoration Society, I can't reveal them so casually. You can guess, or let him tell you himself."
Tolyado said this, but he actually knew that Lanqi had an answer in his mind.
It was originally an anonymous organization, and protecting the information security of its members was a promise Tolyado made when he pulled them into the alliance, and it was also a guarantee for their safety.
"Small matter."
Upon hearing this, Iffathiya sat up, ran back to the space gate connecting the mansion to the Silver Palace, and slipped through.
"Iffathiya! You're not a little girl anymore! It takes a lot of magic power, don't go back and forth!"
Tolyado suddenly felt a large chunk of his mana drop and said.
Every time a living being passes through this space gate, which is based on a special spatial barrier structure, it consumes the caster's mana according to its level.
Even though its energy consumption is much lower than normal teleportation magic, it can't withstand an eighth-rank using it as the door to their own room.
Although he, Tolyado, had basic attributes of high spirit and medium to low magic power, Iffathiya had become too strong after not seeing her for so many years.
"Oops, sorry, I'll pay attention next time!"
Iffathiya put her hand on her forehead and apologized to Tolyado.
She quickly ran to one side of the palace.
"Barton, Barton, come to the basement!"
Iffathiya connected to the communication device on the wall of the Silver Palace and called out.
In any case, Barton would definitely be needed to help with Blood Moon City. Among the seventh-ranks, Barton was considered quite strong in combat power, and he could also command a large group of armed subordinates.
Before long, Barton came from the Hassel Port Building, the headquarters of the Brilda Mafia, by elevator to this basement.
After the Silver Palace's door opened.
The Mafia boss, Barton, looked at this space gate in disbelief.
Opposite him was the second floor of Abigail's opera house.
There was actually space magic temporarily connecting the two space barriers.
The only one who could do this was undoubtedly Cardinal Tolyado.
"Tolyado, Abigail? How did you find the boss?"
Barton should have thoroughly reasoned with Tolyado and Abigail for their boundary-crossing behavior that didn't comply with the promise.
But seeing that the boss didn't have any objections, he didn't plan to say much.
"She's an old friend of mine. If I had known earlier that the boss you were hiding was Iffathiya, my dimensional branch would have directly joined forces with you."
Tolyado explained.
"It's okay, Barton, we're all family."
Iffathiya brought Barton to the second floor of the opera house.
"Look, this teleportation door is so easy to use."
She didn't forget to introduce it to Barton.
Iffathiya had not previously thought that the Cardinal of the Dimension was General Yabo from their old demon world.
She had always been wary of the Cardinal of the Rebirth Church.
If it weren't for today's opportunity, she and Yabo, two great demons hidden in the human society of the Kreithi Empire, would never have had the chance to see each other's identities, which had been abandoned for a century, under their human skins.
"Can you guys do this later, take the bus back, take route 737 and transfer to route 901, go to Jones River Port, walk a few kilometers, and you'll be home."
Tolyado's magic power dropped two more segments in a row.
The worst thing in the demon world was that everyone discovered that his magic was very convenient and felt that the magic power consumption was nothing, treating him like a greeter who was responsible for opening the doors below the shopping mall.
"Oh, the situation is special, we can't easily leave the space barrier, you can't charge me by the trip, are you willing to charge an old friend's money."
Iffathiya put her hands together and bowed her head apologetically.
"Or how about this, I'll get a monthly pass and swipe it every time I pass through in the future?"
She opened one eye and looked at Tolyado.
"You really know how to dream, why don't you just get a student monthly pass?"
Tolyado replied.
"Tsk, tsk."
Iffathiya ran back to her sister's side again.
Barton came to the end of the long sofa on Tolyado's side and sat down.
"What's the situation now?"
Barton looked at the people gathered here and asked.
He knew Abigail and Tolyado, and now he also knew Professor Landry, but he didn't think that Tolyado would seem so familiar with them.
"Let me tell you..."
Tolyado gave Barton a concise and clear account of what happened tonight.
"I see, I am indeed Silver Moon Restoration Society No. 3."
Barton understood the situation and admitted.
"Ah? Ah? Was that opera just now performed by elder sister and Lanqi?"
Iffathiya caught another key point in Tolyado's story and shouted in surprise.
"Elder sister, let me tell you, you acted really well. I really didn't see that it was you. How did you play a gluttonous and somewhat stupid girl so vividly? Especially the way she was moved by the Governor. I could feel her brain and her heart through the screen. Every cell in her body was saying—!"
She excitedly reviewed it with Taliya.
"..."
Lanqi and Taliya were unusually silent and didn't speak, their lifelessness seemed to infect the air.
They never expected that today's performance would be a public screening version!
So Iffathiya was giggling while watching them perform on stage just now!
Being seen doing this by acquaintances was worse than death...
"But now that we're at this juncture, ask whatever questions you have."
Tolyado said straightforwardly.
He would answer any questions about the Silver Moon Restoration Society.
"Then what are the identities of the others?"
Taliya asked unceremoniously, shifting the topic.
She had been concerned about the truth of this matter for a long time.
In addition to having determined Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 7.
No. 4 Fervent was the one of the nine members who had not yet returned to Brilda, No. 5 Struggle was well-liked and easy to talk to, No. 6 Loyalty was able to obtain first-hand information about magical energy fission from Saint Kreithi Monastery, No. 8 Purity didn't speak on the day she was asked about magical energy fission information, as if she was avoiding suspicion, No. 9 Hope could get any information as long as you added money.
"Uh, I don't even know the real identities of half the members of the Silver Moon Restoration Society. They were all found by No. 5."
Tolyado replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"The No. 4 and No. 5 sacred communication magic cards were made together at the beginning and given to her. She used No. 5 herself and gave No. 4 to her confidant."
Abigail explained to the three people opposite.
Later, No. 5 also asked for the No. 6 sacred communication card and gave it to a suitable candidate she had chosen.
Then Abigail sent No. 7 to her junior brother Landry through the dimensional branch's channel.
Nos. 8 and 9 were the last to be made and were also taken away by No. 5.
"Then who is No. 5?"
Iffathiya was sleepy next to her. She probably understood something about the Silver Moon Restoration Society from her words.
The identities of Nos. 4, 6, 8 and 9 were a mystery, but No. 5, as a clue, should at least be known by Tolyado and Abigail.
This organization was strangely fair, and there was really no one who knew the identities of all the other people.
"Her situation is more special. Even normally, she may not be able to use sacred communication magic. We have no way to contact her actively. She is like a caged bird. She will only contact us or others when she believes it is safe."
Abigail said in a low voice, thinking of a familiar person and worrying about her safety.
"Alexia, the holder of the fifth sacred communication magic, 【Struggle】, is Her Highness Alexia, the Third Princess of Kreithi."
