Chapter 56 Why is the Queen here? !
After confirming that the exorcism rune he had drawn on the landlord's door had become invisible as it dried.

Moon carefully climbed onto the roof.

I want to quietly observe the situation around me.

But just as he was about to go up, Moon suddenly noticed that today was a double moon.

After taking a look at the cold dark moon that only appears on double-moon days, Moon was silent for a moment and then climbed down silently again.

Let's go down the sewer.

There are also significantly fewer sound-seeking hunters in the sewers, making them easier to avoid.

Moon knew where Hadley and the others would be. There were only a few places they could go to.

By referring to the distance, it is easy to infer where they will go.

So instead of following him all the time, it would obviously be better to get some gold coins to pay off the debt to the ring.

It is not easy for Baratheon to walk outside at night, even in the sewers.

This has been proven by many extraordinary people, cultists and time travelers.

Like the guy who was caught by Mr. Potter even though he was diving deep in the manure water.

But this is easier for Moon.

Even if they are hunters following sound, it is impossible for them to have people in every corner.

They just kept patrolling everything within range.

And Moon knew that they had adopted the secret communication code of the Overwatch Council, and that thing was designed by himself.

In twenty years, the communication codewords would certainly not remain unchanged, but what can be said is that Moon added iterative design at the beginning of the design.

A mere twenty years is not enough to break through Moon's iteration limit.

As for how Moon designed it, it’s very simple. Moon localized the system of Deutschland III.

With the help of the secret stone obtained from Mr. Potter, Moon, who could directly integrate into the communication network of the Overwatch Council, could naturally avoid them easily.

Just be careful not to be detected in any abnormal communications.

As for the Lord of the Rings, it's better to save as much as possible, Morn is quite poor.

Gold should be used where it matters most!

That's how it is, sometimes you have to take a detour.

After arriving at the place, seeing the obviously extra carriages in the villa, Moon was sure that he had not calculated the wrong place.

Downton Abbey has always been the Southern Territory's backup base in the imperial capital.

However, according to the custom of the Southern Territory, after twenty years, this must be an obvious bait, and the real stronghold is probably.

Moon turned and looked at an apartment building across from Downton Abbey.

Morn touched the ring and approached the apartment using invisibility.

The gold coin requirement is obviously much higher, yes, it is here!

After hiding in the corner, Moon observed the apartment while thinking about what he had encountered recently.

The Abyss Cultists, the Demon Lord, the Deer Family and the Lion Family, his own strange exposure, and everything about Ai'er.

These things don't seem to be related.

But precisely because there is no definite causal relationship.

Instead, Moen recalled what he had encountered before.

Morn had a similar experience when dealing with the three gods of the seers.

Everything has appropriate explanations and motivations, but the final result is very clever and bizarre.

Just like now.

This is the effect of the Destiny Clock!
So could it be a prophet?

Rationally, Moon found this unlikely.

Because there should be no god appearing now, the prophet's ascension ceremony cannot be hidden.

There was too much movement.

But emotionally, Moon felt that it was very likely because it was all really weird but could be explained.

"Then, if he is really a prophet, he should have found the remains of his Lord God."

"And he is planning something with the Destiny Clock."

'I don't know what he's going to do, but I know what the current situation will look like if it continues normally.'

Moon picked up a stone and began to draw gently on the ground.

Ai'er will be brought back to the South Territory. With an heir in hand and dissatisfaction with the Queen, the South Territory will definitely choose to support Ai'er's ascension to the throne and make the South Territory independent.

The reason why the Southland was not independent before was because there was no blood heir to Westeros. Independence would not only make the dedication of their lord worthless, but they would also not be able to properly preserve their lord's land.

Without a legitimate heir, the South was doomed to fall apart after their death.

And once there is an heir, the Southern Territory will no longer be at risk of falling apart after the death of this group of old people.

In addition, most people in the southern region believed that the queen had killed their lord, and there was a natural conflict between the southern nobles and the old nobles.

As long as Ai'er returns to the southern border, independence is almost a foregone conclusion.

It can even be said that if the southern border does not become independent, war will probably break out.

The remaining old nobles who were killed by him could not tolerate the threat of the dictator and his heir making a comeback.

Because the southern territory suffered no losses, the nobles in the southern territory were still the same people who had followed in suppressing them back then.

In the end, they followed the Queen and killed the Lord of the Southern Territory, who was their master.

In this situation, as long as Ai'er appears, the Queen may not be able to stop this war caused by panic.

Most of Hadley's people are unwilling to go to war directly with the Empire.

So it will only be independent.

Unless they are willing to hand over Ai'er, but this is even more impossible.

As a vassal, failing to protect your master is already a great shame. If you can't even protect the lord's last bloodline, you really can't live as a human being.

Then, once the Southern Territory becomes independent, the five families including the Lu family, which have already been forced into a desperate situation, and the Shi family, which is about to be forced into a desperate situation.

They won't sit and wait to die.

They have no independent qualifications or ideas, they only think about fighting back and taking everything back.

Before the independence of the South, they did not have this ability. But after the independence of the South, they did not have this ability either. However, others can give them this ability! Moen drew a new circle in front of the circle representing the empire.

The northern countries would definitely be happy to lend a helping hand to Qigong at this time.

Regardless of past grudges or considerations of current interests, this is something they will definitely do.

Because in the past it was he who destroyed the Leumann Empire in the north and turned it into the many small countries it is today.

Although I didn't expect it at the time, just killing the invading crown prince would lead to the complete collapse of this ancient empire.
But it was obvious that the blame was going to be put on himself and then thrown to Baratheon.

Otherwise, doesn't this mean that they have been plotting something bad for a long time?

Now, a strong neighbor is obviously not what they want to see. What they desire is a neighbor who can bite off a piece of fat meat.

So, follow the planned direction.

The country will be plunged into a great turmoil that may very well lead to its destruction.

Thinking of this, Moon finally confirmed his idea.

“Definitely a prophet!”

The prophet's promotion ceremony from sequence three to sequence two was carried out by himself, triggering a huge turmoil with a wide range of impact.

The greater the unrest and the wider its scope, the greater the possibility of promotion.

And the turmoil that caused chaos in an empire and its surrounding areas.

Not only could it ensure his successful promotion to an angel, it could even allow him to digest the entire Sequence 2 potion in one go, instantly qualifying for advancement to Sequence 1.

And this is the biggest reason why the prophet's path is notorious.

They are really good at causing trouble!
I didn't expect to have to deal with prophets as soon as I came back.

Moon rubbed his brow and noticed another thing - the number of gold coins required for the ring was soaring!
Without even a moment's hesitation, Moon jumped into the roadside sewer and fled without looking back.

This is the reaction of Sequence One nearby. The Queen must be here!
Less than a minute later, Moon jumped into the sewer and escaped.

A white carriage slowly drove in here without anyone driving it.

After a moment, the queen in an elven robe stepped down from the carriage.

Without even looking at Downton Abbey which was the obvious bait, the Queen walked straight towards the apartment where Hadley and the others were actually hiding.

The appearance of the Queen made everyone in the apartment and the manor nervous.

But before they tried to do anything, Hadley held down his deputy, shook his head, and the Queen was invited into the apartment.

In the room on the second floor, Hadley bowed slightly and said to the Queen:

"I am sorry to entertain you in such a place, Your Majesty."

The Queen didn't care about these. She just looked up at the building and said:
"Let me see that girl."

Hadley frowned.

How do you know this?
He didn't believe that there were any traitors among the people he brought with him, because each of them was a trusted confidant he carefully selected.

But regardless, it was now clear that the Queen knew.

So Hadley said seriously:
"What on earth are you doing here?"

The Queen reiterated her words:
"I want to meet that girl."

"If you don't tell me, I won't let you go up."

The Queen had no intention of using force against her teacher's vassals.

So she said after a moment's silence:
"I want to take her away."

"This is impossible. Her Highness must return to the South Territory. That is her land!"

"Why do you think she is your master's daughter?"

“This is something we have verified over and over again!”

The queen wanted to try a bloodline verification, but the idea never came into being.

Instead he asked:

"Did you find that person?"

Hadley knew who the Queen was talking about. She was talking about the person who asked Potter to take good care of El.

"No, Your Majesty. This is your imperial capital. Don't you have any clues?"

"If I had it, I wouldn't be asking you."

"Since you are so clear about it, I hope you will cooperate with us on this matter alone."

"Also, Your Highness, we must bring the South back, and then we will declare independence. I know this will be a big blow to the Empire. But you also know that when Your Highness shows up, all this is unavoidable."

Hadley suddenly found himself understanding why the Archduke had never told them about this.

Because when an heir appears in Westeros and the Grand Duke is not alive, the country for which the Grand Duke has devoted his life is doomed to fall into great turmoil.

The old nobles could not tolerate the existence of an heir to Westeros, as that was an extension of their fear of the Grand Duke.

It is impossible for the Southern Territory to give up the bloodline of their master, which is their last spiritual support.

This point cannot be reconciled.

So the Grand Duke made his own choice and hid the child.
My Lord, why do you have to sacrifice so much for Baratheon?
Thinking of this, Hadley continued after a moment of silence:
"But I can promise that we will not become the enemy of the Empire. But considering the feelings of the vast majority of the people, we will not lend a helping hand to the Empire."

Having said that, Hadley carefully observed and guessed the Queen's thoughts.

Seeing that she still didn't respond, Hadley thought about it and said:
"My lord has carried you along this road for so long. Please continue on your own. The southern border cannot be without a master."

This time, the Queen's expression finally showed a slight hesitation.

"Let me see her, alone, that's all."

Hadley hesitated for a long time before he moved away from the staircase that he had been blocking.

"Your Majesty, please remember that as long as Your Highness cannot return to the South Territory, my companions will come over!"

"I know."

After watching the Queen go upstairs, the Southern Knight beside Hadley said with some concern:

"My Lord, is this too inappropriate?"

The Queen's only chance to put an end to everything is now!

As long as we capture His Highness, the army from the southern border will be helpless even if they come to the gates of the city.

Hadley shook his head.
"I don't believe in her, I believe in my master."
