Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Madame Daisy, the Baxter you found is indeed very talented."

Madame Daisy was shrewd. At once, she knew His Highness the Regent had grown suspicious of Baxter.

But.

Baxter was a truly good lad.

"Baxter, how was your journey?" Madame Daisy turned and asked.

"I was almost at the human capital when I heard the visit was called off, so I rushed back," Shen Ye sighed.

Madame Daisy immediately burst into laughter, unable to help herself:

"Yes, a human spy was caught, and the Regent flew into a rage, so we can't visit the Human Race's domain this time."

"Was the journey fun? Did anything interesting happen?" Lily asked curiously from the side.

"Not interesting at all, I would rather have stayed home to practice my singing," Shen Ye said, shrugging his shoulders and stretching his back.

"It's good to know you're striving for improvement. It wasn't in vain that I pulled you out from the Veterans' Guild," Madame Daisy said.

"I truly appreciate it," Shen Ye's voice softened, "Coming down from the battlefield, it was you who offered me warmth."

Madame Daisy cast a discreet glance at His Highness the Regent.

— Did you hear that?

I've been in contact with him since he arrived in Eternal Night City.

Before that, he fought valiantly on the battlefield.

After that, he diligently studied the art of singing.

"Very good."

The voice of Mo Ga Ru rose again.

"At noon tomorrow, I host a banquet for the diplomats of various countries, and you, the Dark Night Ros Dance Troupe, should join as well."

Everyone immediately bowed in unison:

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Mo Ga Ru no longer spoke, stood up, and walked out unhurriedly with the Earl.

On stage.

Shen Ye whispered to Madame Daisy.

"Madame Daisy, going to meet the envoys from different countries tomorrow, is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Madame Daisy's appreciative smile, nodding her head:

"There is indeed something to remind you of."

"At tomorrow's noon banquet, envoys from the Elf Race and Human Race will be received, including the High Priest of the Elf Race and the Prince of the Human Race."

"Speak and act cautiously, and don't offend those powerful beings, or the consequences would be worrisome."

"The High Priest of the Elf Race is coming too?" Shen Ye exclaimed.

"Yes, two hundred years ago, legend has it that he fought against ten thousand enemies single-handedly, leading armies of various races to defeat the foes from beyond the heavens," Madame Daisy explained.

There was no mistake.

This High Priest had many titles such as "Spirit of the Myriad Forests, Heir to the Ancient Tree Throne, Natural Law Master who battled against ten thousand enemies, Arcane Grandmaster, Guardian of the Nightmare Law Realm, one of the top five heads of the world."

I was supposed to assassinate him once!

Ridiculous.

Shen Ye said, "The Prince of the Human Race is—"

"Prince Norton, he has come to apologize. I heard he is close to becoming a king," Madame Daisy said.

"Thank you for telling me this, I will be careful with every word and action," Shen Ye said.

"That's good, go and rest for a bit. The chief diva's rest room is on the third floor at the end of the corridor, and someone will call for you when it's time."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Ye took the key thrown to him and headed to the rest room.

It must be said.

The Chief Diva's personal rest room was quite spacious.

But in this room, a person had been waiting for a long time.

Mo Ga Ru.

"Your Highness?" Shen Ye exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Ga Ru glanced back at him, nodded, and suddenly slipped into the void, vanishing.

Shen Ye reacted quickly.

"Door."

He touched the door frame and activated "Unique Gateway," passing directly through it back to the rest area of the Tomb Soldiers in the depths of the Great Tomb. Find your next adventure on empire

As he stood on that ancient and time-worn corridor—

a mirror quietly appeared.

Shen Ye changed his body, standing still on the spot.

In fact, his body couldn't move.

After all, Mo Ga Ru's Binding Spell was still on this body.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Before the third breath arrived.

A figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Mo Ga Ru!

At this moment, Shen Ye started to realize something.

Although Catastrophe Source Liquid could travel between worlds, it could not accurately pinpoint locations like a "Door" could.

"My lord, why have you immobilized me here?"

Shen Ye, holding his still posture, had a slight tremor of uncontainable fear in his voice.

Mo Ga Ru sized him up and down, sensed the Binding Spell on him, and then slowly asked:

"Long Wu, do you have a brother?"

"Yes, I do."

"How is your relationship with him?"

"... My lord, this is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

"Indulge me, consider it my command."

"Alright, I'm the fifth child at home, and my four brothers—"

"Stop for a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"Just talk about your eldest brother."

"Hmph, what's the point in talking about him?" Shen Ye's tone was now laced with anger.

"Just say it," insisted Mo Ga Ru.

"Yes, my lord—my eldest brother is a fool. He learned a bit of singing and looked down on us younger brothers. If it hadn't been for me, he'd still be eating dirt in the fields."

"Do you bear a grudge against your brother?"

"Hmph, do you know where the money for his singing lessons and his food came from?"

"Where?"

"I sold all our brothers to fight on the front lines, using the military pay to give him the opportunity to learn."

Mo Ga Ru mused, "But you despise each other."

"He dares to look down on me?" Shen Ye, unable to move, was so angry his chest heaved, and he vehemently said, "So many of our brothers died for him in battle!"

"So you went to the front lines... to raise funds for him."

"Exactly!"

Mo Ga Ru thought again, suddenly opened a bottle of Catastrophe Source Liquid, and took a swig.

Whoosh—

He traversed space and departed.
