Chapter 316: Spring Breeze
The ambiguous atmosphere seemed to be diluted a little when the conversation turned to serious matters.
Ryan's thoughts also drifted away.
The issue of evil god belief is indeed a big problem. Just relying on the strict defense of Black Dragon City will definitely not be able to prevent the viral spread.
The best way is to stop the problem at its source.
That is ... starting from the Glorious City!
However, this is only in theory.
The superior geographical location of Glory City meant that it was impossible for it to be conquered by Mechanical City.
After a while, when the airship in Black Dragon City is completed, we can go and give it a try.
Or, just use the flying dragon to bomb directly?
But such a choice would bring up another problem.
The Glorious Kingdom now has a population of tens of millions, and the vast majority of them are innocent civilians. They may not even realize that there is anything wrong with their "beliefs"; nor do they know that they believe in an evil god that will change their cognition.
Could it be possible that they were all killed?
Just because you believe in a god who is not one of the “Seventy-two Generals”?
This is a very serious issue.
Ryan felt that no one had the right to decide the life and death of tens of millions of people.
Moreover, even if the Glorious City was destroyed, it would be of no avail, as the missionaries had already extended their hands to the aristocrats of the two empires.
There is no iron label on the face of the "evil god believer", and it cannot be removed no matter what.
The only feasible solution that can be thought of now is to let the world know the terrifying effects of "belief in evil gods" in quietly changing people's cognition.
Then, they gathered the power of the rulers of various territories of the two empires, blocked the "Roaring Wind Pass", and completely sealed off the belief in the evil god in the Glorious City west of the Alcolon Mountains!
However, it is difficult to achieve this.
Ryan fell into deep thought.
…
Beside the hot spring pool, spring water gurgles from the mouths of eight stone lions, green smoke curls on the surface of the water, and a fairy-like aura fills the eyes.
Occasionally a cool breeze blew by, and when the smoke dissipated, two naked bodies could be seen close to each other.
Ymir has a flawless figure. The beautiful term "ice skin" is the most appropriate to describe her skin. After soaking in the hot spring for a while, her skin has a rosy purple color, and it looks even more delicate.
The two had just been talking about serious business, and Ryan was a little distracted.
At this moment, Ymir suddenly spoke.
"Why don't you continue to pinch?"
Her back was turned to Ryan, her tone still calm.
When Ryan heard this, he realized that his hand had been on her shoulder for a long time.
However, at this time, the two people's body positions were completely closed. Large areas of skin were touching, and body temperature was shared. They could even clearly feel the faint rhythm of each other's blood flow.
Ryan also felt the ultimate smooth touch in the world, as if he was leaning on soft clouds, and he fell into tenderness wherever he touched.
Because she was going to take a hot spring bath, Ymir had her hair tied up high.
Her beautiful golden hair was tied into a simple knot, revealing the dignified and elegant temperament of the princess.
At this moment, perhaps because of the movement of tilting her head just now, the knot of her hair loosened a little. She just realized something, and then her beautiful golden hair fell down like a waterfall.
Like strands of pure gold threads, shining in the sun, reflecting brilliant light, it is extremely beautiful.
"My hair is falling off..."
Ymir frowned beautifully and realized that her hair had fallen down and the tip of her hair was touching the water.
She didn't seem to want to get her hair wet, and raised her hands to put it up again.
Because she was fixing her hair, Ymir raised her arms, which made Ryan's hands, which were originally on her shoulders, have no place to rest, and they naturally slid down.
His fingers slid across her naked back, and Ryan suddenly had an idea. He didn't let his hand fall into the water, but instead moved it up.
Because he was right behind Ymir, this floor was full of warmth and jade.
The pair of big hands were also very unceremoniously caressing her lower abdomen.
"Stop it, your hair will get wet..."
Ymir scolded.
There was not much fluctuation in the tone of voice, as if he was telling children not to be greedy for sweets.
Neither complaining nor expressing joy.
Peaceful and quiet.
But the more he talked about it, the more impolite Ryan became.
At this moment, Ymir wanted to fight off the increasingly presumptuous hands, but she didn't have the hands free.
She raised her hands high, just putting her hair together, and this posture seemed to give people a sense of defense. At this time, the two hands actually caught this "flaw", and no longer satisfied with staying on her lower abdomen, but gently stroked upwards.
"Um……?"
Ymir looked a little surprised, and a helpless sound came out of her nose, and she stopped doing the process of bunting her hair.
That guy who was getting more and more greedy actually pinched me?
Perhaps that Lei guy had no intention of letting her tie her hair up in peace, so Ymir simply put down her hands.
However, she did not knock away the pair of hands that were passing through her armpits and hugging her. Instead, she asked, "How does it feel?"
Ryan leaned close to her ear, breathing a little heavily and said, "Hmm... I haven't felt it clearly yet, let me try again..."
The feel is naturally excellent.
Although Ryan already had a clear understanding of the body structure of the "Princess Oma" when they first met in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, and they had some physical contact.
“…”
Hearing this, Ymir said nothing, but frowned slightly.
The feeling behind her became more and more real, and she seemed to have some strange fluctuations in her heart...
Her expression felt a little weird.
Although this wasn't the first time that this man had taken advantage of me, and although I had no resistance in my heart, but... I always felt like something was weird.
Obviously, Ymir also understood what was about to happen.
My thoughts were flying around inexplicably.
It's the kind of feeling where it's not quite possible, nor is it not possible, but there's also a hint of hesitation.
…
Ryan was already very familiar with Ymir's temperament.
The extraordinary ability of the ice system allows her to possess rationality and calmness far beyond that of ordinary people.
It is absolutely impossible for her to take the initiative in certain things.
If there is no objection, it means tacit consent.
Ryan was not polite and touched her all over.
At this time, Ymir did not stop the big hand that was not only outrageous but also completely rude.
Since you don't hate it, just let it go.
After thinking about it, she suddenly asked, "Did you want to take a bath here before because of this idea?"
Although Ryan was a bit busy, he still found time to answer: "I thought about it. But no. I just passed by and suddenly thought of it."
When Ymir heard this, she didn't care whether it was true or not, and responded with a heavy nasal tone: "Oh."
She felt itchy on her neck, so she raised her head slightly, revealing her slender neck like a white swan.
This made it more convenient for Ryan, so he buried his head and a faint fragrance entered his nostrils.
"Are you ticklish?"
"Well... did you come here on purpose?"
“Hmm…”
“…”
Everything fell into place, as if it happened naturally.
Only then did Ryan experience another benefit of having extraordinary strength, which was having super abundant physical energy to support his desires.
Ymir is a top-level extraordinary being, also a melee swordsman with an extremely flexible body.
The two can unlock all kinds of magical postures.
However, Ymir remained very calm throughout the entire process, spoke very little, and did not take the initiative.
Only occasionally, when she was in a passionate mood, she would put her arms around Ryan's neck, letting her cascading golden hair flutter wildly in the wind.
If there were outsiders here, they would definitely be able to see the charming charm in her beautiful eyes.
Of course, this is a wonderful scenery that only Ryan can see.
In this top-notch private hot spring of the "Golden City Bathhouse", smoke is curling around the air and seductive music is heard in the ears.
Ymir, the eldest princess of Omar, made Ryan want to enjoy the ultimate bone-eroding tenderness in the world.
…
The news that Ryan and Ymir went to take a hot spring together spread quickly throughout the entire circle of top elites in Omar.
This also made everyone understand the relationship between the two, and those who originally had the idea of "marriage" completely gave up on this idea.
However, the "confirmation" of their relationship also made several princes feel relieved.
At least "Black Dragon City" does not seem to be biased towards any faction now, so they can rest assured to make some arrangements. After all, the combat power that can break through Omar College should not be underestimated.
Everyone knew that the old emperor's life was in danger in these few days, and there was an undercurrent in the city of Usenbar.
On the other hand, the second prince’s mansion.
In the secret room, the second prince Karen and the white-robed missionary named Miriel also received the latest information.
Karen read the contents and muttered, "As the rumors say, the Lord of Black Dragon City is my aunt's man. This is good, at least no one can win him over."
After a pause, he looked at the white-robed wizard beside him, his eyes full of respect for the elders, and asked: "Master Miriel, there is a secret message from the palace. My father will announce the heir to the throne tomorrow. Should we prepare anything else..."
The white robed missionary smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. His Majesty will definitely pass the throne to you. By then, as long as you control the imperial guards, everything will be settled."
After a pause, he continued, "After all, I used magic to extend His Majesty's life for half a month just to wait for the arrival of the Princess. If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty must have informed her of the imperial edict in advance. Therefore, the Princess's position is actually on our side..."
Karen nodded and said, "Of course I believe what Master Miriel said. However, my two younger brothers are not easy to deal with either..."
After a pause, he hesitated a little, and then said: "But... Black Dragon City and the Glorious Kingdom where you are seem to have some grievances. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen at that time?"
The white-robed missionary smiled smugly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The Lord of Black Dragon City is as described in the intelligence. He is a hardworking transcendent. He is now on the threshold of realizing the 'artistic realm' of the third level of transcendence. This step is very difficult. Countless people with outstanding talents may be trapped here for their entire lives. As long as there is a chance to advance, the transcendent will definitely seize it... and I have prepared a gift for him that he cannot refuse."
As he spoke, he took out a box that emitted a faint fluorescent light, and added: "A treasure that can easily allow people to comprehend the artistic conception - [Philosopher's Stone]!"
"oh?"
When Karen heard this, a look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, "Master Miriel, thank you for your concern..."
…
When Ryan and Ymir entered the "Golden City Baths", the sun was just setting.
When they came out, it was already dark.
After hanging out for a whole afternoon, the two were not tired at all, but looked even more radiant.
The bathhouse manager didn't dare to disturb them, and no one dared to pry into the princess's privacy. In order not to disturb the two people's bathing, the entire upper two floors of the bathhouse were closed to guests.
Besides, there is no privacy to explore in the "private bathing area", those who understand will understand.
"Your Highness, Princess, Lord Renne, take care. Welcome to visit us next time..."
Only after the two men had left did the manager breathe a sigh of relief.
The bathhouse is a hodgepodge of good and bad people, and some information is also sold there on weekdays.
Yes, she is also an intelligence trader.
Only a ghost could remember how many people she received inquiring for information in the whole afternoon. It seemed that the various intelligence dealers in the imperial capital were particularly interested in the princess's private life and were willing to pay a high price to find out all the details. What kind of hot spring she took a bath in, what services she requested, and even the detailed expressions of the two people during the conversation...
Ryan didn't know that by coming to the capital to take a bath, he would also enjoy the treatment of a top star in his previous life. Various paparazzi followed him and everyone was staring at his private affairs.
…
After leaving the bath, Ymir returned to her signature indifferent expression.
Ryan was used to it.
However, even though they looked similar, they were actually very different. Even on the street, Ymir didn't mind getting close to him.
This is an unimaginable scale for the original [Frost Sword Princess] Ymir.
It's getting late.
Ryan asked, "Are we going to the posthouse tonight?"
"You... let's just live in the palace."
Ymir thought about it and said, "That would save a lot of trouble."
"Oh, okay."
When Ryan heard the word "we", a slight smile appeared on his face.
He looked at Ymir's beautiful profile and suddenly asked a very explicit question: "How... do you feel?"
He thought Ymir wouldn't answer such a question.
I didn't get an answer for a long time, and I didn't ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, after pondering for a moment, Ymir responded calmly: "Not bad."
…
When Ryan and Ymir arrived at the palace, the court servants had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness, His Majesty was awake for a while this afternoon. He asked me to take you to the palace treasury to select some treasures as a gift. His Majesty also left a message, saying: I'm sorry that I can't attend your wedding with Lord Rennes, but I also hope that my dear sister will be happy forever."
"knew."
"His Majesty also said that after tomorrow, you are also requested to take Mr. Metternich out of the imperial capital safely."
“…”
The eunuch told Ymir, and Ryan saw a gleam of crystal in Ymir's eyes.
The brother and sister have always had a good relationship. Whether it is political views or life philosophies, they have many common topics.
From childhood to adulthood, the brother who was an emperor also took good care of his sister.
But this day, we will be separated forever.
Ryan remained silent. The death of the old emperor did not have much impact on him as an outsider.
But it can also be seen that the brother and sister have a deep affection for each other.
But then again, the emperor's brother-in-law is quite thoughtful enough to think of the "gift" first.
They did not go directly back to Ymir's chambers, but followed the eunuchs to the royal treasury.
The old emperor probably also knew that after tomorrow, he would probably have no chance.
…
The palace is like a huge castle, and there are some complicated dark rooms inside.
Ryan and Ymir followed the eunuch through the winding secret passage for a long time before they arrived at a gate with a secret ban.
Although he didn't see the treasure, the thunderbird "Pika" on Ryan's shoulder sensed the breath of the strong man first.
"Top powerhouse!"
When Ryan saw the white-bearded old man in the treasure house, his pupils shrank suddenly. The aura this old man gave him was also the same "return to nature" feeling of the Marfa Great Shaman Priest.
The background of Omar's thousand-year-old empire is indeed not that simple...
