Chapter 57 Your Majesty, Fire at Me
Because of the lack of information, Roger overestimated Joestar's planning ability and regarded many factors of luck as the opponent's ability.
For example, Joestar just randomly selected the Second National Welfare Institute, trying to play reverse thinking to remain hidden in the city.
He had already given up on targeting Roger and just wanted to escape from the mysterious capital after the limelight passed.
It seemed that there was divine will in the shadows - Angelina's investigation target was also selected there and made her bump into him.
Fate, it's indescribable.
Created a fateful meeting.
Now that Roger has deduced Joestar's whereabouts, after analyzing Joestar's choice at that time, there is a feeling that the other party has calculated everything.
Most of the time, he tends to have a stable character and subconsciously pulls the danger of the enemy to the highest level.
And with such a dangerous enemy, of course, one must use the most comprehensive plan to destroy it steadily. He cannot be allowed to take the initiative.
Roger informed the nine-blade dancer Ariel of the possible hiding place of the war priest Joestar and asked her to secretly ask the guards around Angelina to confirm Angelina's status.
Hearing that the target of her protection had been exposed to the senior shepherd of the Goddess of War, Ariel's expression became serious.
Legendary powerhouses have their secret way of contacting each other. Without disturbing Angelina, Ariel confirmed that the Right Prime Minister was still at work and didn't show any abnormality.
The two guards said that when they inspected the Second National Welfare Institute, they didn't find any suspicious targets.
"The two legends didn't know Joestar was nearby at the time, so their vigilance was not very high, and there was a possibility of missing information."
Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, but not completely.
"Thank you, Miss Ariel," Roger asked her to step back temporarily.
"If necessary, be ready to be dispatched at any time."
Ariel was very polite, and her blue eyes didn't hide her admiration for the chief of the city defense station.
In her opinion, Lord Dio is not simple. He not only sacrifices his safety for the country but also has extraordinary abilities and incredible intelligence.
He can use the most basic spell combinations to find information that others ignore, and then accomplish things that legendary-level prophetic spells can't do.
Mastering the enemy's actions and the situation is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
In particular, his brain circuits are very clever, and he can always come up with crooked ideas that ordinary people can't think of.
Whether it is the Saint Tybella pig farm or the pig parade, both have achieved excellent results against the Goddess of War and her church.
Now that he attaches so much importance to this Joestar, it is obvious that he is not a simple person.
Angelina was involved again, and Ariel was willing to cooperate with Dio.
She believes that this man can lead everyone to a happy ending.
Simon Haiya, Adon, and the officers of the City Defense Army were also patiently waiting for Dio's order.
In a short period, Roger has established enough prestige in the hearts of these people.
After all, they were in a passive situation where nothing could be done. After Dio joined, the City Defense Army quickly took a 17-0 lead.
If you don't hug your thighs tightly with such a belt, do you want to give it away by yourself?
If you can't even lie down, then you don't have the right to hang out in a land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon like the Capital.
Young Master Roger, who just wanted to lie down, felt quite helpless seeing the eyes full of trust including from the legendary powerhouse.
Why is all the pressure on me? I don't know if I can lead this time!
You are the senior, shouldn't you give me some advice?
But it was about Angelina and the death star above him, the plot to kill, no matter how big his head was, he couldn't avoid Joestar's issue.
Roger began to analyze the current situation comprehensively:
[First of all, Joestar is a patient, old-fashioned, and persistent hunter. My sister seems to be safe now, but she has likely been subjected to magical techniques, and it can be activated as soon as I appear. 】
[Sister looks safe, but in fact, she is already a hostage, and even the entire orphanage and surrounding areas are Joestar's hostages! 】
[Whether it is to use these hostages to threaten the empire, or to sneak an attack on me who should be unprepared, it is a highly feasible plan...]
[And my advantage is my traveler's thinking, using means other than magic, to break through the information shielding of the Gods, and figure out Joestar's purpose and possible plan. 】
[So the key to breaking the game is not to be led by the nose by the enemy, and it is up to me to choose the battlefield and find foreign aid...]
A little helplessness flashed in Roger's eyes.
Otherwise, is it obviously a different historical trend, or will it still bring about Joestar's killing of Roger? Can't we avoid this fate?
Does this world have so-called restraint, plot kill, destiny?
At the fork in life, it turns out that the road ahead is not right or wrong, but bad and worse.
Even so, there are always some things he must do. He can't watch Angelina just send it like this, and he can't watch Joestar get his wish.
It's just that he wanted to get rid of the identity of Dio, but he didn't think that under the guidance of the situation, he would have to be Roger at this time...
A complete action plan gradually formed in his mind.
Roger took a deep breath, first pressed the letter on his leg, communicated with the Queen of Eternal Night, and explained to her that Angelina might be in danger and his countermeasures.
After all, at this time, the only one who knew his two identities was Her Majesty.
To avoid the uncontrollable butterfly effect, he could only ask her for help.
The Queen of Eternal Night responded, "In my current state if Joestar forcibly blocks the space, I may not be able to support you immediately."
Roger said solemnly, "It doesn't matter, the code name of this operation is... Your Majesty fired at me!"
The Queen of Evernight was stunned for a moment, and then laughed lightly, "It seems that the war priest chose the wrong target, and also underestimated the love between sister and brother!"
There was a kind of relief in her laughter that Roger didn't understand.
The Queen of Eternal Night knew that Roger had taken phoenix blood marrow and had the blessing of Nirvana.
She also knew that he originally wanted to use this ability to get rid of his identity as Dio.
But now that he has decided to use this precious rebirth to save Angie, he won't have such an easy chance to escape next time.
In the end, Roger took such a crucial step.
And to avoid damage to Angelina and the Second National Welfare Institute, and offset the possible means of Joestar's deployment as much as possible, Roger launched a tit-for-tat arrangement.
From the queen's point of view, this bastard has all kinds of problems, but when he was stimulated he would burst out with an amount of energy that ordinary people don't have.
Although this is a false "Fight without being afraid of death".
But when this kind of thing keeps happening and people trust and depend on you, the next time something happens, knowing the danger, it is not so easy to back down...
This is the path we cannot avoid.
For the last thing I care about, I can only keep moving forward and there is no way to retreat.
The Queen of Eternal Night sighed softly and got up from the strange bath liquid with dark green color, vitality, and destructive power coexisting.
The perfect and proud figure was exposed to the air, and she saw golden dark lines, moving faster and faster under her skin like poisonous insects as if they had regained their vitality.
These are the remnants of the goddess of war's divine power, which are colliding with her huge magical power.
Two different sources of power are fighting in her body. If it was someone else, let alone talk and think calmly like the Queen of Eternal Night, I am afraid that person would faint instantly.
The divine power exerted by the gods themself is hundreds of times purer than the destructive power of mad believers, and it cannot be removed at will.
Even the Queen of Eternal Night needs external forces, it takes a lot of time to remove it from her body, little by little.
But now she chose to interrupt the treatment, walking out of the bath, and with a move, the golden two-color robe covering her body, blocking the terrifying sight of the rush of divine power.
She walked out of the hidden hall under the Palace and walked toward the ground.
"Your Majesty, why did you end the medicated bath early? Lord Lydia said that it will take at least 36 hours to completely remove the divine power, otherwise, there will be hidden dangers..."
Madam Mosconi immediately worriedly approached her, blocking the Queen of Eternal Night and preventing her from coming out.
The Queen of Eternal Night stretched out a small white hand, and swayed front and back in front of Mrs. Mosconi.
"You see I'm all right. Delia is just a magician. How can she know more about divine power than a legend? Her estimates are not accurate."
"But I'm still willing to believe her. At least she hasn't deceived me, the little old lady. Please continue to soak in the medicinal bath." Mrs. Mosconi stared at the Queen of Eternal Night righteously.
"Madam, if you hold grudges like this, you will lose me..."
The Queen of Eternal Night sighed helplessly, her figure flickering and disappearing.
"This child! It's starting again!"
Mrs. Mosconi's temples throbbed with anger.
Being an invincible woman is never easy.
Not to mention that the Queen of Eternal Night uses meditation instead of sleep, she often fights forcibly with the help of her illness.
Although her combat power has always been at its peak, she is using the advanced steps to hide the hidden dangers on her body.
At least her lifespan is far less than the three or five hundred years of ordinary legendary mages.
The second advisor of the Secret Law Society, Lord Lydia, specializes in potions and loves all kinds of human transformation.
She once judged that the remaining lifespan of the Queen of Eternal Night may be much shorter than that of ordinary people.
This is one of prices the Eternal Night Queen had to pay for her power.
But the queen never cared.
For the Queen, the length of life has no meaning.
She only cares about what kind of brilliance she can create in a limited time.
Especially knowing from Roger that she may only have ten years left and that the empire may only have ten years left, she became even more reckless.
If you are killed by the combined efforts of the gods, what is the use of the remaining lifespan?
It's better to do more for this empire in a limited time.
So she accelerated the purge of the diehard nobles in the parliament.
So she hoped that Roger could follow the heroic path she expected.
So she didn't hesitate to agree to support Roger.
Everything is because she thinks that the Queen of Eternal Night is not essential to the world, but the Green Vines Empire should always exist proudly.
In this empire, human beings can do what they recognize and yearn for under the stars, pursue the truth hidden in the world's prosperity, and explore the magnificent scenery of the infinite plane.
Instead of living like a cow or sheep, like a marionette, repeating the boring hegemony of the past generation after generation, nourishing the invincible gods with flesh and blood and faith.
The Queen of Eternal Night has a big heart, but this era has a vision. There are only a handful of people who understand her beyond the power of the king and become stronger.
By her side, there is only one Roger who, because of the era he was born in, can barely understand the country she yearns for.
Therefore, she is waiting for him to grow up and is willing to pay the price to protect his growth.
The chat under the starry sky was not just an imperial trick in exchange for allegiance.
One of the seven central magic towers of the huge magic circle underground in the mysterious capital, the Queen of Eternal Night silently appeared in the secret hall at the highest level.
She wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, sat on the throne that was only open for her, tapped the armrest, and waited for the bastard's signal.
…
…
Suburbs of Mysterious Capital, Abyss Mill.
Although the name is terrifying this is the most luxurious and extravagant place in the empire, similar to the ancient Jiaofangsi and the modern entertainment circle.
A veritable gold-selling cave.
This place was formerly known as the Cathedral of St. Amalia, the God of Music, which was built by Shelley I thirty years ago.
The style is gorgeous and complicated, and many miracles can be achieved with the help of divine power.
For example, the incredible sound insulation effect, the wonderful folding space, etc.
Once believers enjoyed the miracle of beautiful music, but now it is a fig leaf for people to indulge in.
The most famous signboard of the Abyss Mill is called the Twelve Succubi.
Legend has it that each of them can arouse the most maddening desires in the hearts of the distinguished guests, bring near-perfect sensual enjoyment, and are strictly limited by the spells that they can cause to the guests.
Of course, the Succubus Heavenly Group is very expensive, and only one guest will receive it every day.
The abyss mill said it was to guarantee the quality of service, it was a simple but very effective hunger marketing.
Roger returned to his original appearance and walked out of the teleportation array dedicated to the distinguished guests.
The well-trained waiter immediately stepped forward to entertain the young master of the Charles family.
Although he was here for the first time, he had a right-handed sister and was also a marquis proclaimed by the queen. His portrait had long since spread to all the high-end places in the city.
As soon as he arrives, he will automatically have the highest level of VIP treatment and enjoy the noblest service.
"I'm going to wrap up today's Succubus Heavenly Corps." Roger put on a playful attitude and said stingy.
The waiter looked embarrassed, "Master Roger, it's unfortunate that you're here. Miss Mina has already made an appointment today, why don't you..."
"I want her to let me replace that guest," Roger said domineeringly.
The waiter can't be the master, so he can only ask the superior.
After making a decision, the owner of the Abyss Mill believes that the Charles family of the Holy Family is not to be offended.
So he ordered Mina to accompany Roger.
He was prepared to come forward in person next to appease the guests who originally booked Mina...
But before he started, he heard a panic report from his subordinates:
"Boss, it's not good, Master Roger and Young Master Erwin collided!"
"How did you guys manage it, didn't you let that trashy brother hurry into the suite?"
"Master Roger said he wanted to appreciate the cultural relics of the cathedral first, and he was on a tour with Mina, when little Master Erwin came..."
The mill owner hurried to dissuade him to fight.
But little Erwin was robbed of his appointment, not to mention that he was mocked wildly by Roger, and the scene had immediately become tense.
Abyss Mill called the two into a box to discuss, but neither of the two young men would give in, and both ordered Mina.
"These are two stubborn donkeys. We can't resolve this conflict. There's nothing we can do. Please inform the parents on both sides!"
The boss reluctantly ordered.
He could see that these two were not looking for women, and they were more interested in fighting.
Soon, Angelina arrived with a cold expression and entered the box where the two eldest young masters were trying to kill each other with their eyes.
She felt that her brother was going too far this time. The capital had only experienced a bloody night, and she had loosened up on his discipline a little bit. He came to such a place!
Joestar saw this scene from Angelina's perspective and thought Roger was going too far.
He waited all night outside the big library and was forced to become a noodle cook, but this guy was happy in such a top-level gold-selling cave!
"But it's also convenient for me to do it here."
Joestar sensed the faint echoes of the remnants of the miracle in the Cathedral of Santa Maria and felt that this time it was stable.
Divine power rides the face, the absolute home of the believers, he doesn't know how he could lose, right?
