At the same time, Bryen was not idle at all. After talking to everyone in the chat group that Rika created, she went to the room where the teleportation magic stone was located.
Bryen stepped onto the stone platform and activated the teleportation magic. Immediately after, a dazzling light appeared from the surface of the stone pedestal.
If you look closely, it's the light emitted from the magic symbol on the surface of the stone pedestal. That light enveloped Bryen and then disappeared, of course, Bryen also disappeared.
Moments later, Bryen appeared in an office. Although it was an office, this room was more than 100 square metres, and the room was decorated with a lot of furniture.
On the wall hung the heads of monsters as proof of a proud and successful hunt.
In the middle of the room, a man was sitting on a chair, his arms crossed over his chest. When he saw Bryen appear, he was not surprised, on the contrary, he just sighed.
"Bryen, you never knock before entering a room."
Bryen smiled and said, "Father, do I need to knock?"
The man's eyes suddenly showed disgust, but in a very small moment, it disappeared, replaced by eyes full of love.
"Okay, I'm not asking you to knock. Why are you here? What do you need help with? Or is Raven looking for another woman?"
The man sighed and said. Yes, he was the father of Bryen, the king of the Ancient Kingdom of Zumberos, Zidaron.
"No…" Bryen shook her head, the fat fibres of her body swaying as well, causing Zidaron to frown. Although Bryen had lost 10 kg, she was still very fat, and Zidaron didn't seem to realise that she had lost 10 kg.
Bryen said: "Raven is dead."
"What?!" Zidaron was startled: "He's dead? Did you kill him?"
Hearing that, Bryen felt an extreme headache and disappointment. She didn't understand why people thought she was the one who killed Raven.
"Father… Why do you think I was the one who killed Raven?"
"Isn't that so?" Zidaron said, a little surprised: "Don't worry, even if you kill him, Ratylous will not dare to do anything to you."
"We are holding his resource veins, so if he dares to touch a single hair on you, I will let his kingdom disappear from this world."
"But Ratyous is a greedy old fox, and he would rather let his son die than lose those resources."
"That's why, don't worry about it. Even though you killed him, I didn't like that bastard, it's better if he's dead anyway."
Bryan: "…"
Before she could explain everything, Zidaron had spoken. But his words also identified Bryen as the one who killed Raven.
Bryen sighed and said, "Haizzz, dad, I told you I wasn't the one to kill Raven."
Zidaron laughed and said: "Hahahaha… it's just you and me here, you don't have to hide it like that. After all, Raven is just a useless person, if you don't like him, pick someone else."
"Ratylous has five sons, besides, he has a secret son, I think you already know that person exists."
Bryen sighed and said, "Father, I told you I wasn't the one who killed him. He was killed by someone else, and I almost died there too."
"What?!" Zidaron frowned. He stared into Bryen's eyes as if he were trying to see if she was telling the truth: "Are you telling the truth?"
Bryen nodded and said, "That's right. He and an elder in the Dark-Elf Kingdom colluded to overthrow Selvih. But he didn't think that Selvih's power was beyond his imagination."
"No way, even if Selvih is strong, Ratyous's assassins can still protect Raven." Zidaron immediately countered: "Besides, although Raven is useless, he's also a level 80 assassin. Do you think a mage like Selvih can kill an assassin like Raven?"
"That's what I was trying to say, father." Bryen explained: "At that time, someone claiming to be the Void Lord appeared to save Selvih."
"Void Lord?"
"That's right. He killed Raven and easily killed Silutop, even though Silutop had used taboo magic."
Zidaron was startled when he heard that: "You said that person who called himself the Void Lord killed Raven and killed Silutop even though Silutop used forbidden magic?"
"That's right." Bryen nodded affirmatively, saying, "After fighting Silutop, the mysterious person who called himself the Void Lord was also tired, so I could use curse magic to harass them, then escape."
When Zidaron heard that, he fell into deep thought as he tried to rummage through his memory to see if he had ever heard the name.
But no matter how hard he tried, he didn't know who the Void Lord was in the end. However, if that person could defeat Silutop, then it was definitely not an ordinary person.
Bryen now said: "Father, do you know who he is? Ratyous is trying to get revenge on that person."
"Revenge?" Zidaron was startled. He didn't think Ratylous was so stupid that he couldn't tell who he could fight with and who he couldn't.
Wait! If Ratylous knew who the Void Lord was and was certain of victory, perhaps he could take revenge. After all, his son was killed, if he did not take any action, he would become a clown in the eyes of others.
"Does Ratylous know who the Void Lord is?" Zidaron asked.
Bryen shook his head: "No, he left his stepson Number 3 to investigate further. However, number 3 has come up with a plan that is to use the treaty of war and draw in two allies, including us and the Saric Sanctuary."
"He wants to use us to put pressure on the Void Lord to sign a treaty of war. After the war treaty is signed, the two sides can't allow a fighting strength stronger than level 90 to participate in the war."
Zidaron nodded, his face showing understanding: "Ratylous is an old fox. He is enticing us so he can recover some honour from his son's death."
"Besides, with the help of our kingdom and the Saric Sanctuary, he will surely win this war."
"After that, he just has to give us some of the spoils from the Void Lord's kingdom. As such, he has both regained his honour and gained a connection to our kingdom and the Saric Sanctuary."
Bryen nodded after hearing that, after all, she had managed the Shareny kingdom for many years, so she could understand Ratylous' plan a little.
"Bryen, you are an adult, you have also managed the affairs of the Shareny Kingdom for many years, so you can speak your mind."
After hearing that, Bryen fell into deep thought. She thought for a long time and then said: "I think we can help Number 3 and the Shareny kingdom regain their honour in this matter."
"After all, Shareny is our ally, I am Ratylous' daughter-in-law after all. If their honour is affected, our honour will also be affected."
"Besides, I also want to try my hand at commanding an army to fight a real battle. This world has been at peace for a long time, and our soldiers also need to shed a little blood to arouse their survival instincts."
"In the end, I don't think we'll fail. If we join the Shareny and Saric Sanctuary, the Void Lord, no matter how strong he is, won't be able to resist our might."
Zidaron heard that and nodded: "You are right, however, the situation is a bit different now."
"What 's up?" Bryen asked, confused.
Zidaron said nothing, and just threw Bryen a scroll. Bryen took the scroll in his hand, opened it, and read it. Then, she frowned, her face filled with disbelief.
"Father, is this true?"
Zidaron nodded: "Yes, our three vassal kingdoms have been destroyed. The traces left behind show that they were indeed ambushed by a mist monster."
"Wasn't the misty lamp working?" Brian asked.
Zidaron shook his head: "No. Bryen, you've only lived in this world for less than 100 years, so you don't understand the rules of the Misty World."
"Every 100-200 years there will be a monster ambush. At that time, the fog will be denser, and a misty lamp will find it difficult to dispel it."
"Monsters inside the fog will focus on kingdoms where many people live to attack."
"What is their purpose?" Bryen asked, confused.
"I don't know..." Zidaron shook his head and said, "We still don't understand what their purpose is. But about a month ago, there were many traces proving that there were ambushes by fog monsters."
"I even found out that they are especially focused on newly established territories."
Hearing that, Bryen felt extremely worried, she wasn't worried about Zumberos' kingdom, she was worried about Hikaru.
That's right, according to what Selvih had said, Hikaru's domain had just been established recently, and it was in the process of being built.
Although the ambush of the mist monsters probably wouldn't harm Hikaru, they would threaten his territory.
"That's why we can't send soldiers elsewhere," Zidaron said. We need to reserve soldiers in the kingdom to protect this place or support our vassal kingdoms."
Bryen nodded, "I understand. I will change the plan, Father. If there is any information about the mist monster ambush, please send it to me."
Zidaron nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, Bryen turned and left. Zidaron hurriedly said, "Bryen, where are you going?"
"Back to Shareny…" Bryen said.
"Can't you stay here for a while? Raven died anyway, you can choose someone else."
Hearing Zidaron's words, Bryen suddenly thought of Hikaru, and her face became a little red. But Zidaron didn't seem to notice, he continued.
"In the near future, the royal family will hold a party for the nobles to get in touch with each other. I think you can join, then, if you like someone, I can help you marry that person."
Bryen was a little excited to hear that, but when she thought of Selvih and the other women around Hikaru, she suddenly sighed and said, "Okay, but I'm not sure I'd be interested in weddings. In the future, I just want to be alone."
Having said that, Bryen immediately left, however, right after that, Zidaron's gaze at her figure that was leaving immediately changed.
Those eyes were filled with cold and anger, as if the person standing here were not Bryen but his enemy.
