Chapter 165: A Hug From Beyond the World (1/2)

"Your Majesty, we should go back to the material world."

Roger looked away without answering, but looked at the deep sea outside the window, which was always clear and without any waves.

This is the scenery of the source sea that will not change, which makes it look more boring than the normal ocean.

"Please answer me directly!" The Queen of Eternal Night shouted dissatisfiedly, strongly protesting against the abrupt change of topic.

Even if the magic power is about to run out, she is confident that her fighting power can crush this stinky brother.

But the false strong man who relies on her magic power, she has no magic power, and he has no magic power, so what if they fight each other?

Roger pointed at his head and acted helplessly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's not time to solve the mystery yet, because I have forgotten it too."

The Queen of Eternal Night frowned and said: "Did you seal your memory?"

Roger nodded: "Yes, because our enemies are too powerful, after making arrangements, I completely forgot them."

"But you are too cautious, can't you even tell me?" The Queen of Eternal Night became more and more curious.

"I was too nervous and forgot about it." Roger apologized.

With the strength of the Queen of Eternal Night, she could have discussed it first and then deleted it together.

But he gave a thumbs up to his genius idea, spread the preparation steps into a series of projects, and then chose to forget it.

"Hmph, all your accumulated vacation time is gone!" The Queen of Eternal Night kicked his calf unhappily.

But she didn't pursue it anymore, because Roger's operation was actually a necessary step to fight against the gods.

Because their opponents are gods.

Although the Queen of Eternal Night disdains to take the path of faith and deification, she thinks they are puppets locked in a fixed path.

But after possessing divine power, divine nature, and divine position, real gods do have many powerful attributes.

For example, they are immune to stopping most of the time.

Many powerful gods also have a strange sense of fate.

It is not as simple as prophecy, but under the interaction between gods and the laws of this world, when non-believers think of a certain god, the thoughts that emerge may also be received.

Especially ideas that could threaten him, even if they have not been implemented, may be predicted by the gods in advance.

This kind of induction has a probability of happening, and in many cases it will seem very cheating: the mortal has already lost before the battle has even begun.

Roger sealed his memory, and he must have thought of some key steps, which may have a significant impact on a certain god or some gods.

But this method is useless if it is exposed.

So Roger forgot it, so that even if he prepared to the final stage, it would not be exposed.

And when the time is right and the final layout is completed, those memories will naturally be unsealed, and the opponent will have no time to stop it.

The Queen of Eternal Night is not unhappy with his operation, but unhappy that she was excluded by Roger.

Even if he did not do it on purpose, this behavior also shows that the other party subconsciously does not trust him enough.

Faced with the Queen of Eternal Night's resentful vacation, Roger was helpless and did not argue.

[Fortunately, I have a holiday these days, and the loss of the holiday is still within the acceptable range! ]

Queen of Eternal Night: ? ? ?

What kind of Ah Q spirit is this, shouldn't you come to coax me?

Very easy to coax!

In a somewhat indifferent silence, the two left the Source Sea.

An ordinary exploration has ended, what is worth recalling and remembering.

After floating in the void for a while, when the Queen of Eternal Night meditated and restored some of her magic power, they teleported back to the Sky Sea Tower.

The uniformed magicians rushed up and skillfully inspected and maintained the Source Sea Ark, read the salvaged information, and recharged the Source Sea Ark for a new round.

"I'll take my leave." Roger was ready to go home and rest.

Although it was a boring exploration trip, and even he and His Majesty deserted to play games, in fact, going deep into such a dangerous place always put psychological pressure on.

They have always been on guard against possible mutations in the Source Sea, and are also wary of energy consumption. If there is any abnormality, they must escape back to the material plane as soon as possible.

After returning from the Source Sea, fatigue is inevitable. Roger feels that he needs to have a good sleep before he can cope with tomorrow's work.

The Queen of Eternal Night interrupted his transmission, still with a sullen face: "You are not allowed to leave."

"???" Isn't this scumbag queen still holding a grudge?

"Tomorrow is New Year's Day, follow me back to the palace to celebrate the New Year."

She suddenly laughed, took Roger's hand, and stroked his hair that stood up because of fear.

I am still full of majesty!

The guy who once just wanted to lie down and be lazy finally changed his lying posture and began to face everything given by fate calmly. He became a screw supporting the operation of the empire and valued going to work and work in his heart.

However, although this screw was deprived of the extra holidays accumulated by meritorious service, he was still eligible to enjoy the holidays taken by the people of the whole country.

"Is New Year's Day coming?" Roger was a little dazed, and some inexplicable thoughts flowed through his heart.

These days are really busy, and I didn't pay attention to the passage of time.

"Let's go back to the palace together."

The Queen of Eternal Night pulled him into the newly opened space door.

The scenery in front of him was twisting and turning, and the light was more dazzling than fireworks in the space channel. In the past, the teleportation that reached the destination in just a glance seemed to be endless this time.

Roger was still a little confused by this scenery that he had never seen in the world, and suddenly he felt a soft and hot body approaching:

"I'm a little tired, can you lend me a shoulder?"

"……Um."

He responded somewhat stiffly.

It was a completely unexpected surprise, and the body automatically sensed Her Majesty the Queen's majestic and unreasonable size. The pressing force of the body's close contact made it easy for people to imagine.

But Roger has become very skilled in controlling his body's reactions.

The two of them spent more time alone, and they became accustomed to Queen Yongye teasing him suddenly.

Like a cat playing with its prey, she enjoys it and is proud of it. Any shyness or shrinkage will be grabbed and ridiculed by the other party.

But if you want to take the opportunity to counter the other party and make the topic more ambiguous, the cat can always turn into liquid and slip through your fingers.

If you can't catch him, you won't say anything, and you will look at him with contempt:

Dirty little brother, have you changed your color to this extent?

Unknowingly, the Queen of Evernight had fully activated the goblin's charming skills.

Of course this side will only be shown to Roger.

Externally, she is the unpredictable emperor on the throne, with a mind as deep as the sea.

Even though she was smiling, she rarely carried out bloody massacres and suppressions, but the number of courtiers who dared to use caution under her became fewer and fewer.

A direct and domineering queen is scary, but smart people can always find countermeasures, because her reverse scale is clearly there, and new loopholes can always be found in the network of rules.

But now the queen hides her true thoughts, like a spider in the shadows. No one is sure whether those loopholes are opportunities or traps she deliberately planted.

She really understood the unpredictable trick of Junwei.

Unfortunately, no matter how easy it is to use a routine, its effect will decrease if used too much. After three or five times, Roger has mastered the countermeasure technique of staying the same in response to changes.

Especially now in the home court created by the opponent, Roger was vigilantly waiting for the opponent's next move, and decided to act like a wooden frame with long shoulders.

As long as I'm not blinded by beauty, I have enough reflexes to break all traps!

Blood Mom thought she was on the second floor, but actually I was already on the fifth floor.

But the strange thing is that the unpredictable fairy in the past made no next move.

Just resting your head on his shoulder, your breathing became soft and regular.

[She can’t really fall asleep like this, can she? 】

Roger had doubts in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the incomparably beautiful face of Queen Eternal Night. He closed his eyes lightly, like a lazy cat who had found a comfortable nest. He could feel her comfort and relaxation.

[Is there ever a time when a naughty little guy gets tired of playing? 】

[So was I just battling with the air? 】

"Don't argue, just hold me." Queen Yongye put her hand on his lips and complained softly with her eyes closed.

"...Okay." Although he didn't know where he was quarreling, Roger still responded by some strange coincidence.

Facing the Queen of Evernight who was different from before, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and hugged her slender waist.

As social animals, humans instinctively draw warmth from their own kind.

Sometimes it has nothing to do with love, but is just an instinctive need of the body. Hugging can bring more security than expected.

What's more, the two of them had indescribable feelings at the moment.

More than friendship, not enough love.

Sometimes intimacy has become natural, but there is a certain line that cannot be crossed. It is ignored accidentally or deliberately, and neither person thinks about the meaning behind it.

The current relationship is actually very comfortable. It is still unclear whether it will be heaven or hell if we move forward. On the contrary, human beings will resist the unknown risks.

Because you value it too much, you may not allow any failure.

Under the guise of friendship, secretly doing something that crosses the line, but is it an adult thrill?

Some things are very incomprehensible in appearance, but how can outsiders know the sweetness and sourness in them except those who are involved in them?

In this slowed-down space passage where there was absolutely no third person, Queen Yongye really relaxed.

Put down the veil of invincibility and be a willful girl for a while.

It has been an extremely long year, so many things have happened, and she has changed a lot along the way.

Good or bad is unknown, and the road ahead is difficult and dangerous.

But because of this person holding me tightly, I don’t seem so lonely anymore.

There would be no interference from outsiders or extra sounds outside the world. She hoped that the embrace at this moment would last forever.

But even if you try to slow down and cherish every second of this romance, the flow of time will still flow forward ruthlessly.

A huge clock projection appeared in front of the two people. The hour hand, minute hand, and second hand overlapped at this time, all pointing to the largest number on the dial.

At the same time, it also represents the initial, smallest zero.

Queen Evernight stood on tiptoes and whispered in Roger's ear: "Happy New Year, I'm really happy to have you by my side!"

The hot breath in his ears was inexplicably laziest and regretful, and Roger knew instinctively that this stolen time was coming to an end.

He reluctantly hugged her tightly for a long time, then slowly let go, lowered his head and said seriously: "For more happy New Years, let's continue to fight side by side."

The soft and watery girl's eyes became firm, and the unparalleled pride and sharpness returned to her body. She turned her head to look at the vaguely discernible gorgeous palace, and said softly:

"Indeed, keep fighting...Happy New Year to my empire!"

Queen Yongye and Roger appeared side by side in a certain side hall of Xinghan Palace.

Angelina, Margaret, Rommel, Hall, Galilei, Frankenstein, Sophie, cabinet ministers, secret law advisers, governors from various places and other important officials of the empire have already held a personal meeting here in advance. A small dance party with a very lively atmosphere.

They also include emerging talents such as Elsari and Little Joey who are shining brightly in many fields.

It's a celebration of the most staunch royalists of the past, and it's a spectacle of the new empire-builders.

There was no bustling crowd at the triumphal celebration that day, but the atmosphere was more relaxed and casual, because their queen and they were looking back at the glorious achievements of the past year.

The fourth year of Yongye Calendar has arrived.

In the long night that envelopes this world, a weak spark rises. Whether it will burn fiercely and call for dawn, or whether it will be extinguished by the power of eternal existence, the result is still unknown.

But the battle between humans and gods has become unstoppable and will inevitably produce the most intense sparks. There is no way to compromise.

Under the glory, there will be a battle for the survival of the world.

"Long live the Empire, long live the Queen!"

This is the neat blessing in that gorgeous palace.

…

…

Outside Xinghan Palace, a heavy snowfall has descended on the mysterious city.

A thick white curtain covered the entire city, making the sky and the earth appear extremely clean, absorbing the sounds of the entire world.

Considering the productivity of this world, this is a rare New Year in which joy and happiness can benefit more civilians.

The New Year in this continent always falls in the middle of winter, and hunger and cold will be disasters that ordinary people cannot resist.

Due to the barrenness of the land, the exploitation of the nobles, and the years of war, if there is not enough food and firewood stored in the autumn, people will inevitably die in the winter.

Whether there are more or less deaths depends on how kind the noble Lord has been in the past year.

In most years in this world, the so-called New Year celebrations and expectations are just a small bourgeois romance that exists when the quality of life is at a certain level.

The vast majority and the most ordinary people at the bottom have been numbed by repeated ordeals. The New Year is just a somewhat sad and emotional time in the long cold winter, and it is also difficult to bear.

Fortunately for the people of the Empire this year, because the empire's state-run farms widely used seeds improved by the secret method, and magic pottery was used to increase the fertility of the land, they achieved an unprecedented bumper harvest.

Angelina cleverly allocated resources and eliminated a certain class of people who needed to eat Naka. The cold was still there, but 99% of the people in the empire no longer faced the risk of starving to death.

Distributed together with food, there is also a fuel called "briquette", which also reduces the damage caused by cold a lot.

Even in remote rural areas, many families have enough energy to prepare a simple but happy New Year's Eve dinner.

"I hope the empire will be even better in the new year!" Many farmers couldn't help but sigh. They had looked forward to the future for a long time, and seemed to have endless strength naturally pouring out of their bodies.

This is the human heart’s yearning for beauty after being fed and warm.

Big library.

The lights here are still bright and stay on all night, but there are not many people.

Even the most old-fashioned magician will be pulled by family and friends to relax on the New Year's Day.

In a corner of a certain reading room, Shana had a heavy classic spread out in front of him. He looked at the snowflakes outside and muttered:

"Boring human beings want to add these inexplicable festivals to time. I don't want to celebrate the New Year!"

At this moment, looking at the empty tables, she felt lonely for the first time in her life.
