The girl in black clasped her hands together and said sarcastically:
"Laser, well, it doesn't matter if Princess Alice finds out. You can't make it anyway."
Not every world has a peerless genius named Vegapunk.
Alice clenched her fists unwillingly, her eyes suddenly turned red. What did she mean by Midgard couldn't be created?
"nonsense!"
The girl in black stepped forward and said:
"Princess Alice, you will just clean up the mess later. No need to fight. You can't even defeat the alternate Knights of the Diabolos Order, let alone the Knights of the Round Table. This is for your own good."
Alice's eyes widened as she glared at the arrogant girl in black. Her words were like a sharp knife, piercing the pride of the Kingdom of Midgar. "What do you think you can decide with this kind of technology?"
Midgar's spirit and courage are absolutely not something you who rely on external forces can understand!
The girl in black chuckled, and after reading the dissatisfaction in Alice's eyes, she couldn't help but reveal her disdain and contempt.
Courage? Without the support of equal strength, it is just another name for stupidity.
No one understands this better than Shadow Garden.
"PX-2, let's go to the next location."
After saying that, both the girl in black and PX-2 disappeared in front of Alice's eyes with a whoosh.
Alice Midgar couldn't help but widen her eyes, rubbed them carefully and said:
"Damn it, where did the people go? Was it magic or taijutsu?"
The Knights who were running over from behind also witnessed this scene, and they all felt a mixture of emotions, but one of them still stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
"Treat the wounded, and at the same time, send people to observe the battle between the Diabolos Cult and the Shadow Garden. Record and film their battle scenes using the cameras promoted by the Siyue Chamber of Commerce."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Chapter 61 Return to the Shadow of Strength, the story begins
After dealing with Robin and Mitchita's combat uniforms, Shangguan Wen asked the system:
"System, how much time has passed in the current world of [Shadow Power]?"
Ding Dong, reporting back to the host, several years have passed since your birthplace. Upon returning to that world, you should attend Midgard Magic Swordsman Academy, which is equivalent to the first year of high school in modern times.
"Ah ha? I disappeared for so long?"
In the time scale of the original novel of "The Power of Shadows", this span is too large.
Not to mention his reincarnated parents, just Alpha, Kreia and the others must be extremely anxious, considering that he has only been in the One Piece world for a maximum of one month.
[Ding Dong. Black Rose travels across different worlds. The cost varies depending on the distance. The host can implant a false memory into the memory of someone you care about.]
Shangguan Wen frowned. Implanting false memories?
"Isn't this cheating?"
[Ding Dong, it's a white lie. Of course, there's a second method, which is to move the timeline to one month after you and Irene Belserion left. However, it costs extra money.]
“Where do I get the money?”
[Ding Dong, host, you have 20 system mall points from the previous sign-in] (Chapter 13)
Shangguan Wen was furious, it turned out that they were deliberately setting a trap for him.
"Tu, you bastard system, you're deliberately plotting against me, right? I worked so hard to sign in and get all these."
[Ding Dong, host, don't get excited. How could this system cheat you? If it wanted to, it would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? With this system, as long as you sign in daily, monthly, or annually, everything will be back in the blink of an eye. Be willing to give up, only by giving can you gain.]
After spending 20 points, the host can obtain the Black Rose World Shuttle Card. Whenever the host travels to any world through the Black Rose Gate of the Shadow Power World, they can choose to return to the Shadow Power World timeline (from the time of owning this system) and the timeline of the world they are in (One Piece 1517), with the current timeline as the fixed anchor point.
[At the same time, using the Black Rose World Shuttle Card to perform daily sign-in to obtain points or props must be settled using system time.]
Wow, this system really won’t give you any bugs.
"Forget it, it's my fault for not understanding the time impact of the Black Rose World Shuttle Card."
[Ding Dong, 20 points have been deducted. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Black Rose World Shuttle Card.]
Shangguan Wen hummed twice and then said:
"System, travel to the Black Rose World and return home."
[Ding Dong, received]
A dazzling white light flashed, and Shangguan Wen returned to the world of [Shadow Power] at 9:9 PM on September 21th.
Feeling the familiar magic in the air, Shangguan Wen couldn't help but take a breath and then exhale.
"The air in my hometown is still better. Although I'm not a flower grower, I've lived here for more than 10 years."
Shangguan Wen contacted Irene Belserion and found that her magic communication was not in the link.
"System, where is Irene? Why can't I contact her?"
[Ding Dong, host, your loyal magician Irene Belserion is currently killing people in a certain world.]
"Huh? Gaga, killing people indiscriminately? Which world is this?"
[Ding Dong, host, there's no point in telling you. Why don't you just go and see it yourself?]
"So is Irene in danger?"
【No】
"That's fine. I'm not Zhu Yuanzhang, who asks people to work without paying them."
After chatting with the system, Shangguan Wen once again lived in this world as Sid Kagelo of this world.
----split line----
Time passed quickly. During this period, Shangguan Wen, in addition to daily check-ins, cultivation, and scientific research, also strengthened his relationship with the girls.
Among them, all kinds of miscellaneous items from the system sign-in are sold through the Siyue Chamber of Commerce. In the past few years, even the so-called annual sign-in has not produced any good things.
Back to the protagonist
Shangguan Wen is already in the first year of high school in this world and has become a member of the Magic Swordsman Academy in the Kingdom of Midgar.
He got off the train, holding the sword in his right hand and the suitcase in his left hand, and walked out of the train station.
The Magic Swordsman Academy that the child bride's sister attended was a famous academy in the Kingdom of Midgar, and many people from home and abroad came to study there.
But the Middle Ages is still the Middle Ages. Even with the introduction of a series of cyber technologies such as steam locomotives, the class system is still visible everywhere.
Country nobles like Shangguan Wen could only live in cheap apartments in residential areas in the royal capital, even if they were rich.
Walking out of the room and heading downstairs, I found my two friends, Xiu Luo Jiali and Jia Jia Yimo, already waiting there. On the way to the academy, I took the student railway of the steam train. When I arrived at the Magic Swordsman Academy, I saw a male student kneeling on one knee and confessing his love to a girl with silver hair, red pupils, and wearing the academy uniform.
"Beautiful Alexia, goddess of the academy, please begin a pure relationship with me."
The woman named Alexia said without even turning her head:
"Regretfully, I refuse."
Shangguan Wen's friend whispered:
"Hey, Sid, are you sure you want to confess? This princess is going to have a political marriage. If you confess and succeed, you will be in big trouble. We were just joking before, don't take it seriously."
They were all members of the country nobility, and they all understood more or less the political marriages between nobles. If it was just an ordinary confession to a girl, it would be fine, but when it came to princesses, especially when the king of Midgar had no sons but only daughters, the great nobles in the country and the princes from foreign countries were all watching.
"Haha, do you believe it? Even if this silver-haired princess doesn't go looking for her, she will come looking for us."
"why?"
"She needs a shield to stop the waves of scoundrels, and the three of us are small nobles from the countryside outside the imperial capital. For her, we are quite easy to control."
Xiu Luo-Gary on the side said in disbelief:
"Tu, this princess is actually a scheming bitch, she's so cute and beautiful"
Shangguan Wen replied calmly:
"That's perfectly normal. Although she has a talented sister to rely on, if she were a naive, innocent girl, she would have been taken advantage of long ago. Don't be fooled by her outward appearance as the second princess of the kingdom, but the difficulties she has experienced are only known to her."
Jaga-Imo spread his hands, looked helpless and sighed:
"Being the second princess isn't easy either. In comparison, the lives of us little nobles are a little better."
"I said, I heard everything you said!"
At some point, Alexia, who should have left long ago, came over from the front, crossed her arms, and looked at Shangguan Wen and the other two with a bad face.
Jaga-Imo and Shulo-Gari were startled, and they hugged each other tightly, saying sorry.
Chapter 62 Alexia
Unlike the two people who were frightened, Shangguan Wen asked calmly with suspicion:
"Second Princess, eavesdropping on others is not a good habit."
Alexia snorted coldly and said:
“Similarly, speaking ill of others behind their backs is not a good habit either.”
"It's wrong for us to talk about the princess behind her back, and it's also wrong for you to eavesdrop. Let's just pretend nothing happened and go our separate ways, okay?"
“Not good at all”
Alexia took out the sound shell from her jacket bag, shook it in front of Shangguan Wen and said:
"Thanks to the Siyue Chamber of Commerce's sound, I was able to hear a lot of interesting things. As you said, this princess's identity really attracts a lot of attention, which makes me very annoyed, so I need a shield."
Shangguan Wen narrowed his eyes. Although Alexia's attributes were in his good range, he would refuse any excessive request.
Shangguan looked the princess up and down. She was just a vase in the name of a princess.
"You chose me to hinder your pursuers for you, but what's the benefit?"
Alexia asked in surprise:
"Huh? You don't even ask the price."
"Is it useful to ask?"
Alexia's lips curled up into a smug smile, as if she was quite surprised and admired Shangguan Wen's directness.
"Being a boyfriend in name only sounds easy. However, besides the monthly payment of Jieni gold coins, I can also promise you some additional conveniences. For example, in the palace library, you can freely enter and exit any area, even those precious book areas closed to ordinary people. You know, the knowledge there is priceless."
Shangguan Wen's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this. He was interested in the banned books in the Midgar Kingdom's palace library, which was where he wanted to look up information. There were many secrets, both true and false, hidden there, which would make it easier to find the truth of the past.
"That sounds like a good deal."
Shangguan Wen nodded slowly, but then added: "However, as your boyfriend, what do I need to do? Just attend some banquets, or..."
"Don't worry, I won't make things too difficult for you."
Alexia waved her hand, her tone somewhat relaxed.
"The main thing is that you need to accompany me in public, occasionally attend banquets, and, when necessary, use your clever head to help me solve some minor problems. Of course, if you encounter a truly difficult suitor, you may need to act a little jealous to make them give up. After all, I also have a fiancé here, a swordsmanship teacher named Geno. We are not on good terms, and I have wanted to cancel this damn engagement for a long time. What's so great about knowing a little swordsmanship?"
Listening to Alexia's complaints, Shangguan Wen followed her words and said:
"Maybe there's no one in the Kingdom of Midgar who's your age or not much different from you who couldn't win your fiancé, and because of his noble status, he became your fiancé."
Hearing Shangguan Wen say this, Alexia nodded reluctantly. Kagaillo's analysis was correct. Her father and mother had looked around the country and found that people of her age were either too weak or not of high enough status.
After much deliberation, I finally chose my current fiancé.
But Alexia instinctively did not trust her fiancé, thinking that he was a hypocrite with bad intentions and wearing a false mask, and that he was usually having affairs with other women.
"Then I will take care of your boyfriend for you, and you will let me go to the palace library to look up information."
"It's a deal, it's a done deal"
Shangguan Wen stretched out his hand and lightly clapped his hands with Alexia, and the two reached an agreement.
Where Alexia couldn't see, Shangguan Wen had quickly collected and hidden her fingerprints, retinas, and blood.
"Then, from now on, you are this princess' boyfriend."
There was a cunning glint in Alexia's eyes, as if she had foreseen all the interesting things that would happen in the future due to this transaction.
