I Got 999 Level With One Cut

Even though she had become the regent princess of the kingdom with the support of the Bravehearts Alliance. Even if the army of her kingdom had expanded the territory of the Belfast Dynasty to the largest extent in history with the help of the Bravehearts Alliance. She had never forgotten what her grandfather had said to her on the night of his abdication.    

The aged Belfast pulled her to the top floor of the palace. They looked through the candlelight window at the long-standing capital city of the kingdom in the evening wind.    

"Linze, you are still young. So you may not be able to understand these words, but you do not need to understand them now. You just need to firmly remember them."    

The young princess discovered that her grandfather's expression was unprecedentedly serious. Her intuition told her that what she heard next would be very, very important. Thus, she couldn't help but slightly adjust her expression.    

"Listen up, after I abdicate, your father will become the new king. He is in his forties, and is in his prime. But the Bravehearts Alliance will never allow a person like him to have a little bit of power. They would definitely use all kinds of methods to snatch his power. After that, they will hand over all the national affairs to someone like you, who is more convenient for them to handle."    

Linze nodded as if she understood.    

"Then do you want me to fight them like my father?"    

"No." The old king touched the little girl's head, "You can retreat, obey, and yield. But you must not forget that your obedience today is for tomorrow's counterattack. You need to accumulate connections and prestige bit by bit, and you need to patiently and slowly accumulate strength. Then you need to find an opportunity while they let down their guard. You have to remember, the royal power of Belfast's family must not fall into the hands of others!"    

The things that happened afterwards were indeed as the old Belfast had expected. Bravehearts, who was good at scheming in the Bravehearts Alliance, had already established his prestige because he had obtained victory after victory for the kingdom in the war. Then, he quickly told the people and subjects who trusted him that the new king was mentally ill and could not handle the state affairs. He also used this as an excuse to pass these matters to Princess Linze.    

Thus, he practically took charge of all the affairs of the kingdom from foreign affairs to politics, military affairs, and so on behind the scenes. What Linze needed to do was to sign and stamp, and then she would occasionally attend public occasions.    

She buried her desire deep in her heart. After that, she had always been playing the role of a stupid puppet that was subdued by the Bravehearts Alliance's powerful strength. But at the same time, Linze Belfast was quietly looking for an opportunity.    

"It's here."    

Riko Hasegawa told the coachman to stop the carriage and then she paid him six silver Lille. She lightly jumped off the beautiful carriage. She carefully checked the scribbles on the draft paper in her hand and the number of the house in front of her to confirm that she did not go to the wrong place.    

This was a three-story house located in the most prosperous area of Lotterdall. It was sandwiched between two buildings that were probably related to thieves and swordsmen. Its entire outer wall was made of red bricks, and it looked very ordinary.    

The decoration at its door was the style of Elven Empire. It surrounded the visitors with delicate and exquisite patterns and sculptures. Riko noticed that there was a small horn made of magic metal placed diagonally above the door.    

As expected, the moment Riko pressed the doorbell, Loli Merlin's listless voice could be heard from the horn.    

"I am conducting an important magic research. You can put the newspaper, herbs, and experiment tools that I have reserved in the box on your right side. If you want to give me an invitation to the banquet, then you can go back. Because I don't like to be in this kind of occasion. If you are a private guest lower than a Level 5 Devil Instructor, then you can also go back. Let me think about what else..."    

Riko injected some magic into her voice. She cleverly transmitted this sound wave into the laboratory on the second floor where Loli Merlin was, "Thorn, it is me."    

The sound in the loudspeaker clearly paused for a moment. Then came the sound of a table moving and a pen tapping on a wooden table.    

"So it's Rikku. Wait a moment."    

About ten seconds later, the door opened.    

Loli Merlin was wearing a loose white shirt. She was rubbing her eyes, which had turned red from working for a long time. She even yawned.    

After seeing Riko, she slightly tidied her naturally rolled up black hair. Then, she pulled Riko and walked inside.    

"Do you remember the conversation in the library last time? The last time you inspired me, I have already made great progress in researching Elemental Incarnation magic. As long as I break through this final obstacle, I will be able to construct the basic formula for the magic. At that time, I just need to add a few runes that represent elements. "    

Riko saw Loli Merlin's wand hanging on a shelf, so she also hung her wand on it.    

"Then you are stuck at the last obstacle, right?"    

"That's right."    

Loli Merlin sighed. She seemed to have thought of something and then she stared at Riko in surprise.    

"It can't be. You can even predict what kind of difficulties I have encountered?"    

"No, I guessed it. I came to find you for something else. But this matter is not urgent, you can wait until you finish writing the incantation first"    

"What is it?"    

"[The explanation is a bit complicated, it's about my doppelganger]" Riko said.    

"Okay."    

Loli Merlin's house was very spacious, and there were some things that were driven by magic in the potion storage room and outside the library. The fireplace was always burning with fire elements. There was not a trace of emptiness. It even made people feel that a mage's house should be like this.    

Also, there were no stairs in the entire house. There was only a well connected to the three floors on the ground and a basement. Regarding this, Loli Merlin's explanation was that she could already use the levitation skill skillfully. So she did not need to waste time to build a staircase.    

"But Edina recently moved in, so I installed a rope staircase." Loli Merlin said.
