Chapter 1023 - A Messy Situation
Rhode stepped out of the room and closed the door gently. He turned around and saw Lize’s worried expression.
“Mr. Rhode, how is Her Majesty Lilian?”
“Still the same. She locked herself up in the room, refusing to consume anything. Fortunately, she’s the Creator Dragon and can survive without food for a few days. Besides, Christie and Bell are accompanying her, so everything should be fine.” Rhode shrugged, before asking. “Has Lydia arrived?”
“Yes, Mr. Rhode. Big Sister and the rest are waiting for you.”
“Alright, I’ll head there now.”
After finding Sonia and Lilian, Rhode didn’t continue to stay in the Country of Light. Instead, he quickly brought them back to the Void Territory. However, it was apparent that Lilian had suffered a huge blow. Over the next few days, she refused to eat and silently curled herself up in the corner of the room. No one knew what was going through her head, but Rhode managed to figure out the entire story from Alice. It wasn’t because Lilian wasn’t in the mood to explain it. Instead, with a ‘BUG’ like Alice around, she could look into Lilian’s eyes and receive the answers. Rhode let out a helpless sigh after hearing the truth from Alice. Brats would always remain as brats, and not even Lilian was an exception. Of course, this was great to a certain degree. At least Rhode was able to find Lilian before she was taken away. If not, no one knew what would have happened to her if he arrived any later.
After bringing Lilian back to the Void Territory, Rhode immediately notified Lydia, which made her pause the thought of sending the Battle Angel Army into Casabianca directly. The current situation of the Dragon Soul Continent wasn’t as simple as everyone believed. A single mishap might turn into a huge problem…
Rhode entered the parlor and immediately met Lydia who put up a solemn look, unlike her calm, usual self. Well, she couldn’t be blamed. Even though Lilian was found, the two archangels were still nowhere to be seen. Lydia was worried about them because this had never happened before. Besides, the entire situation with the Country of Light just couldn’t be more strange.
Ever since Rhode brought Lilian back to the Void Territory, or perhaps after Lilian awakened her powers, the Country of Light was unsettled. It wasn’t due to those guys in the parliament, but instead, the problem lay in the Country of Light itself. Thereafter, the weather of the Country of Light suddenly became horrendous. Thunder roared in certain areas for days and earthquakes terrorized the people from time to time. Not only that, but hail storms also plagued the country, destroying the granaries. Some areas near the sea were either devastated by typhoons, snowstorms, or droughts. Who would have thought that seasides would be suffering from droughts? This was totally unscientific to a whole new level.
Meanwhile, the Munn Kingdom also had a hard time. Or perhaps, any region under the Light Dragon’s soul protection faced disasters. On the contrary, Rhode’s Void Territory was as peaceful as ever, without any issues. Although this was the fact, Rhode wasn’t happy at all. Because after the discussion with his younger sister, he discovered that the situation might be much more troublesome than it appeared.
Rhode sighed. After rescuing Lilian, he thought of leading his men and slaughtering their way into Casabianca. It was just massacring everyone in the city and Rhode was confident that his men were capable of that. But Gillian stopped him from doing so. According to her, the Light Dragon’s soul protection was like a piece of ice that was melting and breaking apart. If Rhode were to launch an attack on the city now, he would worsen the conditions of Order like crushing the entire layer of ice. When that happened, the Light Dragon’s soul protection would be entirely done for. Chaos would invade without the need of the Chaos Gate. War would shatter Order, which was why Chaos often tried to start wars on the continent.
According to Gillian, the most important thing to do now was to restore the Light Dragon’s soul protection like fishing in the ice lake during winter. The fish could only be hooked through drilled holes on the layer of ice. During summer, when the ice had melted into water, there would be no need to drill holes anymore. But the biggest problem now was…
“Her Majesty Lilian seems to have taken a really huge blow…”
Lydia shook her head. In fact, Rhode agreed with her. Lilian disliked those people to begin with, and now that she was faced with… even if he and Lydia had a bombastic talk with her, it would most likely not work. But Rhode still had some other ways to deal with her.
“I’ll resolve the issue with Her Majesty Lilian. But before that, I need to do something.”
“What is it?” Lydia asked curiously.
