Chapter 393: Getting Married? I'm Not Prepared! Do You Want to Rehearse?
"Where did you hear this word?"
Lucia paused playing chess, turned around, and looked at Su Xuan in confusion.
She couldn't believe that this word would come out of Su Xuan's mouth.
"From a dragon." Su Xuan shrugged, and then asked further, "So, you know about the exchange of godheads? Is it really possible?"
"Yes!"
Lucia answered without any hesitation, and Su Xuan could even see a flash of determination in her eyes!
It seemed that she had a similar past, about... her godhead.
"Even two completely opposite godheads can be exchanged with each other?" Su Xuan asked in disbelief, which was obviously beyond his cognition.
"Of course!"
Lucia waved her jade hand lightly, and the chess on the table disappeared without a trace.
Then, she turned around and said to Su Xuan seriously: "As long as the two parties who exchange the godheads reach an agreement and the two godheads recognize each other, then the exchange of godheads can be realized."
"..."
Su Xuan listened to Lucia's narration attentively, and his heart was filled with ripples. Obviously, he was still a little shocked by the exchange of godheads.
"Is it Miss Marlene Rhine?"
Lucia's eyes paused in Su Xuan's bedroom for a while, and she immediately realized that Marlene Rhine was the demigod who exchanged godheads.
"Yes." Su Xuan confirmed her guess and said slowly, "The two dragons exchanged the godheads of life and destruction."
"Life and destruction?" Lucia heard the characteristics of the two godheads, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes that was difficult to conceal.
However, she quickly calmed down and analyzed thoughtfully: "These two seemingly opposite godheads actually have their own logic of coexistence. It's just that this symbiosis is more reflected in the power level."
"Although I don't know what happened to Miss Rhine, she has appeared in the image of a dragon of destruction for thousands of years, and the godhead of destruction has recognized her existence. Perhaps, for her, the godhead of destruction is her true destination." Lucia shrugged lightly and continued to explain, "Although the godhead is not a living being, it represents the ultimate power of the law. If it cannot be recognized by it, no living being can take it for itself."
"So that's it..." After listening to Lucia's explanation, Su Xuan had a clearer understanding of the godhead.
In the hierarchical system of the magic continent, the godhead is the key to the ranks of gods, and it represents the qualification to challenge the throne of God.
But after obtaining the godhead, there are generally two situations:
First, if the challenge to the throne of God is successful, then it will be promoted to a true god and gain supreme power and status.
Secondly, if the challenge fails, a demigod will only have the godhood but not the throne. He is not a true god, but a false god.
Although he will be qualified to challenge the throne in the future, he is still a false god and a god outside the law before he obtains the throne.
Although the false gods are not true gods, their power should not be underestimated, and they can even threaten the existence of true gods in some cases.
"If you need my help, just ask." Lucia paused for a moment and continued, "No matter what it is, as long as I can, I will do my best to satisfy you."
"Well, I appreciate Lucia's kindness." Su Xuan responded with a smile, then picked up the coffee that Alice had prepared for him, took a sip, and began to focus on handling the affairs of the guild.
Tomorrow is the day to move, and he expects that he may be busy until the evening to finish moving.
Therefore, he must take care of everything in the guild before moving.
"You..."
Lucia was slightly startled, and was a little surprised by Su Xuan's reaction.
After all, Su Xuan now knew her identity as the Pope.
In common sense, if there is a strong man close to God around him, normal people will choose to cling to him, right?
But Su Xuan did not do so. He still maintained his original attitude, as if he had never known her identity, and did not show too much dependence or change because of it.
This made Lucia wonder: Could it be that Su Xuan really doesn't care about her identity?
She frowned slightly and glanced at Su Xuan lightly.
Her mood was a little mixed, because she hoped that Su Xuan could rely more on her and become unique...
In a blink of an eye, it was already midnight.
Lucia and the others had left long ago, and Alice and the others had fallen asleep early, leaving Su Xuan alone in the guild hall.
Su Xuan rubbed his tired eyes, and he had arranged tomorrow's tasks properly.
Even if he couldn't log in to the game on the way to move, he could keep the guild running normally.
"Hu~"
Su Xuan stood up, took a deep breath, and was about to leave the game.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice came into his ears.
"It's so late, haven't you slept yet?"
"?"
Su Xuan turned his head in confusion and was surprised to find that Edith appeared behind him silently.
She was sitting on the sofa, holding the half-drunk cup of coffee in her hand, and took a sip.
"Why are you here?" Su Xuan asked Edith with a hint of surprise in her tone.
Edith put down the cup, elegantly lifted her long legs, supported her cheek with her hands, stared at Su Xuan with her bright red eyes, and smiled: "Why? Are you not welcome?"
Su Xuan smiled slightly and replied: "Of course you are welcome."
Then he walked to the sofa opposite Edith and sat down.
"I have already negotiated the deal with the Elf Queen. She will give you a drop of the blood of the Elf Ancestor. Remember to accept it." Edith did not beat around the bush and directly told Su Xuan the content of the deal.
"Well, I have heard about it from the Elf Queen." Su Xuan nodded, indicating that he already knew about it.
But he was still a little confused, so he asked: "That drop of the blood of the ancestor of the elves... does it have any special effect?"
Idais nodded gently and explained calmly: "The blood of the ancestor of the elves has the ability to fuse all conflicts, which is why the elven queen can cast several extreme elemental magics. And the power in your body is too complicated, so you need this drop of the blood of the ancestor of the elves to reconcile."
"So that's it..." Su Xuan heard this and was a little flattered.
"So, has she given you that drop of the blood of the ancestor of the elves?" Idais continued to ask, revealing some concern in her tone.
"Hmm..."
Su Xuan was about to answer, but Idais suddenly opened her red lips and exhaled a touch of pink breath, accompanied by a faint rose scent.
This sudden move confused Su Xuan, and he didn't quite understand what Idais was doing.
However, the next second, Ides' attitude suddenly turned cold. She warned unhappily: "If it is a deceptive rhetoric, then there is no need to tell me. What I hate most is deception."
"..."
Su Xuan hesitated for a few seconds before slowly answering: "The Elf Queen said that the blood of the Elf Ancestor needs some time to prepare, and it cannot be handed over to me now."
Ides's originally cold expression eased a little after hearing this explanation. She smiled and said in a joking tone: "This is normal. After all, women only have that day a month, let alone the Elf Queen."
"?"
Su Xuan was instantly stunned when he heard this.
Ides' words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his head heavily.
"Wait," Su Xuan's voice trembled slightly, "This blood of the Elf Ancestor could not be the Elf Queen's..."
"What is it?" Ides smiled slightly, and there was a hint of expectation in her smile.
"..."
This made Su Xuan feel a little helpless. He never thought that the blood of the ancestor of the elves actually belonged to the queen of the elves...
"Heh~" Edith chuckled. Looking at Su Xuan's embarrassed look, she said softly, "Don't worry, the facts are not what you imagined."
"Huh~"
Hearing this, Su Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not notice that Edith's mouth quietly raised a smile of success.
"However, since this is the promise of the queen of the elves, she will naturally not break her promise easily." Edith continued, "I will send the things needed by the Elf Kingdom tomorrow, but don't forget to urge the queen of the elves to give you the blood of the ancestor of the elves as soon as possible."
"Well, I know." Su Xuan nodded in response.
"Okay, let's stop here. I have another thing to tell you this time." Edith waved her jade hand gently while speaking, and an illusory map immediately appeared in front of Su Xuan.
"What is this?"
"This is the map of the Star Kingdom." Edith explained.
Su Xuan carefully observed the map, which clearly marked dozens of cities and hundreds of territories in the Star Kingdom, and even included the division of various forces.
"Ten days have passed since the Star Ceremony." Edith stood up, walked to Su Xuan's side, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said, "In this short period of time, nearly half of the territories in the Star Kingdom have fallen into war. Prince Taylor and Prince Lapus are actively expanding their power, and those territories originally controlled by Princess Vivian have fallen to them."
"This... is not good." Su Xuan couldn't help showing a trace of worry on his face when he heard this.
He didn't know how to fight, this was not his area of expertise.
But he was still very clear about the situation, and the current situation was obviously not favorable to Edith.
"The situation is indeed a bit serious, so I need your help."
Idaisi looked directly at Su Xuan and said, "Although Prince Taylor and Prince Lapus are eroding Princess Vivian's power, the army of the royal city has all been under my control."
"The army of the royal city has all surrendered?" Su Xuan was a little shocked when he heard this.
The army of the royal city has always been Princess Vivian's confidant, but I didn't expect that they would surrender to Idaisi in such a short time.
"Yes." Edith nodded gently, "The royal nobles in the royal city care more about their own interests, not who can sit on the throne. As for those loyal knights, they are loyal to this country, not to a princess or prince."
"Now, I just need to win the recognition of the Star Knights, and I can move on to the next stage."
"..."
After listening, Su Xuan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What do you need me to do?"
Edith said lightly: "Marriage."
These two simple words sounded like thunder in Su Xuan's ears.
He widened his eyes, totally unable to believe his ears, and stammered, "Ah? Marriage?"
"You and I?"
"Of course not!" Edith rolled her eyes at Su Xuan, and then patiently explained, "You don't need to worry too much, this is just a nominal marriage. I will provide you with a brand new identity, so that you can marry the future king of the Star Kingdom."
"Fake marriage? Or with the next king of the Star Kingdom?"
Su Xuan was confused by this series of information. It was the first time he heard that the king could have a fake marriage...
Could it be considered a political marriage?
"There is no way. After ascending the throne, the king of the Star Kingdom must choose a partner to marry and give birth to a child with the blood of the stars as soon as possible, so as to gain the recognition of the Star Knights and the people." Edith shrugged helplessly, obviously feeling helpless about this. "Since I can't find a suitable candidate, I can only ask you for help after weighing the pros and cons."
"..."
Su Xuan remained silent. There are so many broken rules in the Star Kingdom!
"Don't worry, I just need you to play a role, like an actor in a play, and even the actress can be replaced by Ivessa, just think of it as me holding a wedding for you." Ides said calmly, "And all you have to do is just attend a wedding. As for the offspring with the blood of the stars, you don't need to help, because..."
"Why?" Su Xuan frowned, it's not his turn for good things, right?
"Because, there is also a trace of star power flowing in your body." Ides explained, "So, I will arrange a better wife for you, not a puppet pushed to the throne."
"Stop!"
Su Xuan immediately interrupted Ides and said, "I don't need you to choose a more suitable wife for me, and you don't have such power. Besides, I think Ivessa is good enough, so you don't have to worry about this matter."
Ides was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Are you serious?"
But she could clearly sense that Su Xuan's tone was extremely sincere, without a trace of deception.
In other words, he really thinks Ivsa is an excellent partner?
Then...
"Why would I lie to you?" Su Xuan shrugged his shoulders and continued calmly, "If it's just acting, I will naturally cooperate with you. Do Ivsa and I need to rehearse in advance? I've never been married, so I'm not familiar with this kind of thing."
"..." After a moment of silence, Edith slowly said, "No hurry, wait until you finish dealing with the affairs of the Elf Kingdom first."
But her mood at the moment was extremely complicated, and it was difficult for her to understand Su Xuan's thoughts.
She is obviously a playboy, why doesn't she want his wife even if she is given to him for free?
Could it be...
Ivsa really conquered him physically and mentally?
