Chapter 231: Leader, Your Estrous Cycle Is About to Arrive
After persuading the officials and obtaining the Empress's permission, what happened next was extremely simple.
They would look for a supplier and negotiate the price. Thereafter, Rayne would make use of the Starburst weapon and open a dimensional rift to transport supplies. At the same time, he would help Eternal Night resolve the plague problem.
Due to the abundance of magic in the mortal world, the plague that erupted here was naturally not something that could be cured casually with ordinary healing magic.
The plague here could also use magic.
Rather than treating the plague as a disease, it was better to treat it as a miniature magical beast or even a bacterial-shaped divinity being.
The vampires who once ruled Eternal Night were proficient in magic and knew how to defeat magic with magic. As such, they would not be forced into a corner because of these problems.
However, the werewolves were completely different. This group of big dogs could eat and give birth but they were pitiful and helpless. All their combat strength was focused on physical damage output This was also one of the predicaments Eternal Night was facing now.
Rayne provided a large number of supplies to Eternal Night. As for the special medicine for the plague, he helped Eternal Night concoct it at the same time and only charged it at cost basis.
Right now, the Wolf Queen owed Rayne a solid favor.
Rayne was extremely humble in the face of the Wolf Queen's gratitude.
"Protecting the peace of the mortal world and preventing all living beings from being harmed by calamities outside the structure is the instinctive choice of every Haines citizen. I can't blame those officials for their shallow horizons. Furthermore, they did make the right choice in the end."
Rayne bid farewell to the Wolf Queen with a smile.
"Your Majesty Hedwig, you're an outstanding ruler. I hope that our countries can welcome prosperity together. In addition please forgive my offense. You were truly extremely beautiful at the banquet that day."
Rayne's smile was sincere and even seemed to be mixed with some indescribable emotions
Thereafter, he did not disturb the Wolf Queen anymore and turned to leave after bidding farewell.
The Wolf Queen smiled as well and watched the Prince of Haines leave.
At that moment, an inexplicably excited smile sounded beside the Wolf Queen.
"Leader, I can't help but feel that... the prince seems to value you especially?"
The Wolf Throat lamented meaningfully, "It seems like the strategy you chose when you first came to Haines was truly wise, leader"
The Wolf Queen glanced at the Wolf Throat expressionlessly.
The Wolf Throat shrunk his neck in fear and apologized hurriedly. "Yes, cough cough I apologize. I was just joking"
Because the prince was busy handling the problem of Eternal Night, there were not many opportunities for the Wolf Queen and Prince Rayne to meet during this period of time.
However, from the prince's words, the Wolf Queen could sense that he was definitely willing to help her against everyone's objections because of his ideals and righteousness.
He was indeed worthy of admiration...
Unfortunately...
From now on, it would probably be difficult for her to have any interactions with the prince.
The Wolf Queen felt a little regretful.
"In that case since the plague problem has been resolved, leader, let's return to Eternal Night as soon as possible."
At the side, the Wolf Throat reminded softly, "You'll enter your estrous cycle1 in a week or so..."
When the Wolf Queen heard that, she nodded silently.
Although werewolves could take on the form of humans, they were still beasts with magic in essence.
They had the same habits as their distant relatives and would enter a reproduction state at a certain time every year.
As for the Wolf Queen, she was about to reach that time as well.
When a werewolf entered that state, their behavior would become extremely unbearable and the balance between rationality and desire would be completely broken.
Even the Wolf Queen had to be careful of the enemy called Instinct that came from her body.
The Wolf Queen touched her human ear that symbolized the forbidden food and sin Her filthy bloodline made her have no intention of reproducing from the beginning.
Therefore, each time that period of time arrives, the Wolf Queen would seal herself in the castle and reside in seclusion, waiting for the torturous period to pass by herself.
It was time to head back...
If she entered that state and caused any diplomatic incidents in Haines, it would be too ugly.
The Wolf Queen nodded silently and turned to walk into the dimensional rift that the prince had specially left for her.
It was truly good news to be able to resolve the crisis of Eternal Night before her estrous cycle arrived.
Otherwise, if she had to force herself to run around with a restless body, it would definitely be an apocalypse for her.
Right now, the Wolf Queen only hoped that Eternal Night could maintain its stability in the future and that there would be no work for her to worry about.
Hopefully
This year's estrous cycle could also pass peacefully, right?
A week passed. Then, another week passed.
After more than two months of recuperation, Edaline's condition had completely recovered.
Not only was her mental state completely stable, her strength had also completely recovered and she even seemed to have become much stronger.
Of course...
As the second place, no matter how much Edaline improved, she was still far from Histia.
After all, while Rayne worked hard with her to destroy Prosperity and finally improved her ability...
Histia did not even have to do anything. As long as she went out to fight monsters on time every day, her bloodline would purify automatically. Now, she could even play with spatial slashes just like Rayne.
However, speaking of which
Edaline's perception covered the capital and she saw the golden-haired goddess fiddling with the potted plants in her house.
Edaline was curious. "Histia, aren't you working today?"
Histia said, "I took leave today."
The two demigods chatted freely despite being separated by half a city.
Edaline asked, "Took leave?"
After watering the potted plants, Histia looked at the sky. "When I divined this morning, I realized that the capital would encounter a calamity."
"Calamity?"
"That's right."
"What calamity?"
"A drought."
For something like divination, the higher the divinity one possesses, the more they could resonate with the world correctly.
For a demigod of Histia's level, it was best for her to follow the results of her divination.
Therefore, Histia applied for leave and stayed in the capital.
The capital was the most prosperous city in Haines. Not only was there no agricultural production, there were even Imperial Guards who modified the weather when necessary. Drought and sunlight did not affect this city much.
There was probably another meaning to this drought.
With that said, Histia fell into deep thought.
Histia said, "I keep having a feeling that"
Edaline asked, "What?"
Histia stared at the street beside her house. Her gaze seemed to penetrate the ground and she saw the gigantic man-made ecosystem built beneath the city.
"I keep having a feeling that the puppet in the vivarium is very dangerous."
Histia was referring to Prosperity.
Histia asked, "I think you brought that thing back with His Highness Rayne last time, right?"
Edaline: "That's right"
Histia asked, "Where did you guys find her?"
Edaline asked, "Are you interested in her?"
Histia sighed. "It's just that my intuition tells me that she's very related to me She seems to be able to help me."
Histia's intuition was not wrong.
Now that the purity of Histia's bloodline was rising, it meant that her synchronization with Goddess Order was improving.
If this continued, Histia would become a vessel for Order in the mortal world at some point in time.
It was not that Edaline did not respect the goddess.
However, compared to the goddess, she cherished her sister more.
The problem was that Rayne had once instructed Edaline not to tell Histia about this first.
Yet, if this continued, something would really happen to Histia.
On one side was her brother and on the other side was her sister. Edaline thought about it
She had finally made a choice.
Forget it
Rayne was smart and probably had long taken into account the possibility that she could not bear to hide the truth from Histia.
Since that was the case, she might as well come clean.
"Histia, Rayne asked me to keep this a secret."
Edaline said, "Why don't you ask my brother later?"
Histia replied, "Yes, alright."
Histia decided to talk to Rayne after the problem of the drought was resolved.
However, right then
Histia suddenly frowned.
"Edaline"
"Yes? What's wrong?"
"Look underground."
Histia put down the watering can. "She's awake"
