Chapter 364 The Unbreakable Black Pot!
Marika's self-destruction made Xiao see the similarities between her and Arasaka Yoshinobu - they are both firm idealists.
These people are not pursuing power or desire, but the faith and thoughts deep in their hearts.
As a minority among humans, Marika must have suffered racial discrimination and exclusion on the road to growth.
This made her experience many hardships, but it was these hardships that shaped her tenacious character.
Therefore, when she did such extreme behavior, it was not surprising for those who really knew her.
However, the people in the borderland could not understand her behavior, and even found it difficult to accept this fact.
In the eyes of everyone, Marika is the unattainable eternal queen, the creator of the golden law, and the unique god in the borderland.
How could such an existence choose power to kill itself, how could it destroy its own power with its own hands? How could it bear to kill its eldest son?
These plots are simply too incredible, even the bards on the mainland would not make up such absurd and bizarre stories.
After all, according to common sense, creatures are always driven by endless greed, and no matter how much they get, they will never be satisfied.
And Marika's actions completely violate the underlying logic of this creature and exceed the scope of the self-needs of ordinary creatures.
However, such people, regardless of their original intentions, are usually regarded as crazy by normal humans.
But the creatures in the borderland do not think that Marika is a lunatic, so they will complete the logic of the whole story by themselves based on limited clues.
So, Queen Xiaoyan, who was highly concerned by the Golden Tree, naturally became the mastermind behind all the events.
In terms of identity, Xiao once competed with Marika for the position of a god, but eventually failed and was deprived of everything. There was an irreconcilable hatred between the two.
More importantly, the Golden Law and the Law of Death are two completely contradictory laws.
The Golden Law promises eternity, endless life and eternal existence.
The Law of Death promises death and emphasizes that death is the final destination of every life.
Therefore, only when the Golden Law is broken can the Law of Death have a chance to return to the border.
As for ability, Xiao, as the creator of the destined death, has a powerful force that even Queen Marika fears.
Even deliberately excluded his power from the Golden Law.
Therefore, with the motivation and ability, and the fact that the magic ring had just been broken, the Queen of the Night Eyes appeared.
Who would believe that the Queen of the Night Eyes was not the mastermind behind the scenes?
For the people of the Golden Dynasty and the Kalia Dynasty, such a thing can be figured out even if they think with their butts.
At the same time, they were also deeply shocked by the methods of the Queen of the Night Eyes.
If the Golden Tree had not revealed her true existence, perhaps everyone would be played around by her.
Because of this, the Kalia Knights were full of fear of the Queen of the Night Eyes and were unwilling to have a hostile relationship with her.
Even repeatedly emphasized that Xiao should leave this place, because he was really worried that Xiao's existence would bring crisis to Kalia.
Regardless of the truth, and regardless of whether Queen Xiaoyan will take action against them,
the existence of Queen Xiaoyan alone is a huge threat.
Now the demigods and creatures in the entire border area firmly believe that Queen Xiaoyan is the culprit who killed Godwin and destroyed the Elden Ring.
So, in the situation of stalemate between each other, even if the demigods are just fighting for the orthodox status and prestige, they will definitely start with Queen Xiaoyan.
After all, the excuse of "revenge for brother" is simply the most appropriate.
Therefore, Queen Xiaoyan will definitely become the primary target of the demigods' siege.
If she still stays in Lienia, it will inevitably bring unpredictable catastrophe to this land.
Look at the current royal city of Rodel, it has changed beyond recognition: the mountains have been blown into flat land, the plains have turned into canyons, and even the direction of the river has changed.
Compared to the core area of the Shattered War, the wizard civil war in Lienia is just a small fight.
Just talking about those so-called academic traitors, any demigod can easily kill them all, just like what Xiao is doing now.
The knight Mugram only needs to sit in front of the Great Library, and no academic mage dares to try to break through, which shows how weak these people are.
If it weren't for the magic shield and seal of the Rhea Lukalia Academy that completely separated the inside and the outside,
the group of guys from the academy who are not up to the stage would not be worthy of fighting against the Kalia royal family.
After all, fighting still requires the mercenaries of the Cuckoo Knights, and it is self-evident what kind of stuff the academy is.
Xiao has never made excuses for the misunderstanding of the Kalia Knights.
Some things cannot be ignored by not admitting them.
The person who wronged you knows that you are wronged better than you do, but if she doesn't wrong you, she has to take the blame. If a friend dies, I will die.
Xiao doesn't believe that there is no deliberate guidance from Marika.
After all, she was the only god-man who was an outsider in the border area, and the rest of the demigods and gods were all Marika's children.
Although she could easily kill or abandon her own children for her ideals, she still had some affection for her children.
…
…
"Then do you want to be my enemy?"
Xiao looked at the Kalia Knight with a calm expression, his dark eyes slowly opened, and the pressure of death was released.
Mugram was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head:
"No, I don't want to be your enemy. However, as a loyal knight, I must stick to my beliefs and responsibilities. If you try to harm the queen, I will fight to the death."
Xiao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood his position.
"It seems that there is no need for us to conflict for the time being. I will not disturb Queen Lenora's research, but I also need the knowledge in the big library."
As Xiao said, a black and red death fire suddenly ignited on his fingertips. The flames dissipated, and a goddess butterfly with night-colored wings slowly flapped its wings and landed on the hand of the Kalia Knight.
"The death goddess butterfly is my eye. Bring it into the big library. This is my reward for your loyalty!"
The meaning of what Xiao said was already obvious. He admired Mugram's character, so he didn't want to kill him, which was a way of giving him face.
But this Death Goddess Butterfly is also a step Xiao gave to the Kalia Knight, and he must also climb down.
Mugram looked at Xiao, with a flash of relief in his eyes and nodded: "I hope so!"
Then, Xiao turned around and left with Smarag, leaving Mugram standing there, looking at their retreating figures.
