Linlin used a lot of teleportation techniques that consumed the power of blood and returned to Fort Transy, the imperial capital of the Zhuye Empire.

After going home and taking a few blood medicine tablets to replenish the power of her bloodline, she took her family's emblem and went straight into the Suye Imperial City to ask for an audience with Her Majesty the Queen.

The guard stopped her unceremoniously:

"You don't even have a formal title, and your virtual title is barely viscount. Why do you want to see His Majesty?!"

In the Zhu Ye Empire, those who have reached a certain level of nobility but do not have a real title due to status and other reasons are called virtual nobility. This is the case for Linlin.

Although she has the strength of a viscount, as a servant of the countess, she cannot hold a title.

"I am a dependent of Countess Margaret, and I have brought top-secret information about Lord Kain!" Linlin said, taking out the family emblem, "In addition, my father was once a knight colonel of the Blood Rose.

This is the emblem of my family."

These descendants of the deceased from a hundred years ago have a certain degree of privileges. The guards also have to be lenient.

"Okay, I can take you to see the minister of the inner court. He has the final say on whether you can see your majesty."

So the guards brought Linlin to the Duke who was in charge of inner court affairs. After listening to Linlin's report, the Duke knew that the matter was serious and brought Linlin to the Queen.

"Your vassal Linslet Alphonse Nero, please see Your Majesty."

"Okay, have you brought news about your brother?"

"Yes."

Linlin suppressed her nervousness and reported what her brother had experienced in a gentle voice.

Queen Abel listened to her report expressionlessly, and then asked:

"So, you think my brother wants to take back the empire from me?"

"I dare not make any assumptions."

The Queen suddenly smiled: "Well, what if I return the throne and the empire to my brother?"

The Duke, who was listening next to him, immediately knelt down and said, "You must not do this, Your Majesty!"

"Why not? My brother's line of succession is already above mine."

"However, Lord Kain is a guilty person after all, and when the empire is in danger of survival, he does not care about the blood of his people..."

"so what?"

"And it is you, Your Majesty, who guides us like the moonlight and leads us to rebuild the empire..."

"Haha, if I tell you that everything I did was what my brother told me before he sealed himself, how would you feel?"

"Ah? This..."

"Okay, okay, you are all thinking too much. According to my brother's character, if he wants to get the empire, he will come directly to discuss it with me."

"But..."

"No but, just step back."

The Duke wanted to say something more, but when he saw that the Queen was already showing an impatient expression, he shrunk his neck and backed away.

Linlin was about to leave too, but the Queen suddenly pointed at her: "Wait a moment."

After the chamberlain ministers exited the audience hall, Abel asked: "How is Margaret doing?"

Linlin said: "Except for the countess being seriously injured three times, she is otherwise fine."

"Severely injured? Why?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but it seems that he disobeyed Lord Kain and was punished by Lord Kain with low-level spells."

"Pfft...brother has gone too far...pfft...the countess is loyal, even if she makes a small mistake, she shouldn't be...pfft...punished like this!"

From the tone of her voice, Linlin could tell that the Queen was trying hard not to laugh.

But she could only pretend not to hear it, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being considerate, Master."

"Pfft... Ahem, before you leave, go to the alchemy laboratory in the castle and get some high-quality healing potion for Margaret. In addition, I will reward Margaret with an enchanted gauze skirt. After a while,

Ask the maid to deliver it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Then Her Majesty the Queen waved her hand, and a small ornament engraved with the royal emblem slowly flew towards Linlin.

Linlin couldn't help being surprised and happy when she saw it. This was a token that proved the identity of the Queen's emissary. She could gain very high authority and could freely enter and leave Suye Castle.

"Don't get me wrong. Your status is still that of the countess's family, and you must not do anything beyond your limits. But if you have any information about your brother in the future, you can report it directly to me, and there is no need to go to the chamberlain minister."

"yes!"

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, just step back."

After waiting for the little girl who was less than a hundred years old to leave the audience hall, the Queen recalled the news that Margaret had been punished just now, and couldn't help but giggle.

"This Margaret thinks about how to please her brother all day long, but in the end she will be punished by her brother! Unlike Abel, Abel will only feel sorry for his brother."

The ruler of the empire was quite confident in his "sister power".

A few hours later, in a big house on the edge of Fort Transy, a dozen guys in cloaks gathered together.

They are all high-ranking vampires, and they usually gather together to hold dances, race hounds, and so on. But to mix together in such a sneaky way like now, it is obvious that they have ulterior motives.

The person who summoned them was the chamberlain, Mathias Hubert Fran, Duke of Serrano.

After all the vampires sat down around a huge square table, the Duke lowered his voice and said:

"Gentlemen, we are summoned today because of the national crisis."

The vampires all looked horrified, and the Duke continued to talk about the shocking declaration made by "the unspeakable lord".

That day, a secret society aimed at resisting the Second True Ancestor was quietly established.

Because their common goal is: "Seal the tyrannical True Ancestor Prince again.", so this association was temporarily named "Fenghuang Society".

————————

In the early morning, the entire city of Constantine was still silent, but in the "Skin of the Stigmata" guild, there were already many diligent hunters training in the martial arts field.

Jiang Xiaotan was doing push-ups to warm up.

The encounter with Lei Lei a few days ago did not have much impact on him.

He does not want to leave the "Skin of Stigmata" guild for the time being and go to that small country in the Western Continent to regain "his" noble status.

It is a very dangerous idea to give up your efforts and become a nobleman who enjoys himself all day long! In such a barbaric world, it can even be said to be a way to die.

He has also read a lot of the history of this world recently and knows how powerless the nobles of a small country are in the face of natural disasters, plagues, and wars.

The title and status are meaningless. Only when you are strong can you survive.

So, a good day starts by working hard to become stronger!

Eveli was also nearby. She had just practiced a few swordsmanship positions and was resting while watching Kain do push-ups.

At first, she was very interested in this exercise that can exercise the whole body, and she did it several times.

But when the female hunter realized that if she followed suit, she would attract unseemly looks from other hunters, she gave up this exercise.

But Jiang Xiaotan persisted. No matter how exaggerated his pectoralis major was, it would not cause him any trouble.

After finishing two hundred push-ups, he stood up and felt a little more cautious again.

That’s enough for the physical training. Today’s main topic is: new magic!

Last night, he had memorized the incantations and runes of the second-level fire magic [Explosive Flame Bomb] in his mind, and he only needed to actually cast it.

In fact, there are other branches of elemental magic such as ice, thunder, earth and wind, but Jiang Xiaotan felt that instead of biting off more than he could chew, it would be better to practice fire magic to a certain level first.

Set a small goal and wait until you have mastered high-level fire magic such as Fire Storm, Hell Fire Rain, etc. before studying other things.

He stretched out his palm, preparing to fire an [Explosive Flame Bomb].

The spell is very long, but you only need to prepare five runes: [Fire], [Gather], [Bomb], [Pierce], and [Explode].

Then let’s try a shot without chanting first.

Condensing five runes in his mind one after another, a small flame flew out from in front of his palm.

"Ah, this...power doesn't look very good."

The small flame hit the target in the distance, but penetrated directly into the wall behind.

"The penetrating power is okay...but this power..."

Jiang Xiaotan was disappointed when suddenly there was a loud noise and flames erupted from the wall, blowing a large hole four to five meters in diameter into the wall.

"This power...is not bad."

After seeing the result, Jiang Xiaotan felt mixed emotions.

The power of [Explosive Fire Bomb] is certainly gratifying, but the cost of repairing the guild wall will probably have to be paid for by yourself.

The hunters stopped training one after another and came forward together to chat with the helpless Jiang Xiao. While appraising the power of this spell, they looked at the panicked innocent citizens outside the wall through the big hole.

After a while, Manager Haite came over.
