Chapter 55: Silence

Perhaps because of the loss of the position of the Speaker of the Northern Parliament Alliance, Catherine's mansion suddenly became much deserted. But at night that day, a carriage was still parked at the door of the mansion. Judging from the heralds on the outer wall of the carriage, the visitor seemed to be from the Kashyapa Empire.

The swaying candlelight was lit in the study, and Catherine personally poured a cup of coffee for the visiting guests, and then smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Cruise, I heard that you have encountered some minor trouble in Kashyapa? Please relax and stay with me for the time being. Maybe we can do something for you."

Hearing Catherine's words, Cruise couldn't help but show a happier look. This was the real purpose of his coming to surrender to Catherine. He gently sipped his coffee, turned to look at the Marquis of Rhine who was leaning against the door, and felt a little strange. Why did the young marquis not want to avoid it. However, after a moment of silence, he put aside this doubt and looked at Catherine in a stern voice and said, "Thank you for your kindness. My brothers think I don't have the power to turn the world back. I will let them know how big a mistake they have made!"

"Of course, I believe you have enough ability to make a comeback." Catherine smiled, picked up the coffee and took a sip, "But we need to discuss the plan in detail. So before you have enough confidence, I'm afraid you will stay with me for the time being. Once the situation changes, I will notify you immediately."

"Of course, thank you for your kindness." Cruise knew that she wanted to see him off, so she bowed and said goodbye, slowly walked towards the door. Rhine opened the door with a smile on her face, reached out to make a gesture of invitation. Cruise looked up at him, and said slightly: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Rhine bowed and saluted, but when Cruise walked past him, he suddenly stretched out his left hand and hit the back of the other party's head hard. With a muffled groan, Cruise collapsed on the floor only when he had time to look back and fell limp on the floor. Catherine was slightly stunned and couldn't help but shout: "Rhine, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, I'm just looking for a new body in the arrival of the Demon Lord." Rhine licked her lips and shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly. Catherine was stunned for a moment, but suddenly she suddenly realized her mind and said softly: "What, is the new body you are talking about Cruise?"

"Of course, his body is the most suitable for the Demon Lord, and it can also provide the Demon Lord with a legitimate human identity." Without asking Catherine at all, Rhine bent down and picked up Cruise and said hideously, "Then, I will take this guy to the altar first. As for the next thing, it depends on what you can do for us!"

Accompanied by a low laugh, Rhine's figure flashed and disappeared directly into the air. Catherine snorted coldly, and there seemed to be a little anger in her eyes, but she finally sighed and turned around and walked out of the room. Ten minutes later, she had left the manor in a carriage and galloped towards the private manor located in the south of the city. What's strange is that she had dozens of guards accompanying her in the past, but this time she chose to leave the city alone, and even the groom did not take her.

After walking in a hurry, the carriage arrived at the private manor half an hour later. Nearly a hundred guards were on guard outside. When they saw the carriage coming and intercepted them, Catherine showed up and then drove the carriage directly into the manor and arrived at the casting workshop located deep in the manor.

"Madam, we have finished casting what you requested." Seeing Catherine's figure, a middle-aged demon caster with a beard hurriedly came forward and reported with joy. Catherine's head slightly, and as he slowly walked towards a camp, the demon caster gently lifted the curtain and said proudly: "Please look! It took nearly two years, coupled with Miss Christine's recent command, we finally completed casting of this large disc."

As the moonlight slowly emerged from outside the camp, a large disc placed on the flat ground had appeared in Catherine's field of view. The disc had a diameter of about three meters, and was made of unknown black metal. It was covered with magic patterns so so so sophisticated that it could be calculated in millimeters.

"Very good, you did a good job." Catherine bent down and carefully checked every magic pattern on the disc. After a while, she finally stood up with satisfaction and patted the middle-aged magic caster on the shoulder: "Go and gather all the magic casters together, and I will personally reward you for everything you have done."

"Yes!" The demon caster couldn't hide his joy and was about to run out now to know that the reason for their hard work was also for the huge rewards in the agreement. But at this moment, Catherine suddenly frowned and asked in a deep voice: "By the way, why didn't you see Christine? Where did she go?"

"Well, Miss has been busy working for several days. We just advised her to go to the city to relax." The middle-aged Demon Forging Master was stunned for a moment and answered casually. Seeing that Catherine had no other questions, he immediately turned around and left. After a while, dozens of Demon Forging Masters had all assembled and stood in the open space waiting for Catherine to speak.

"All of them are all gathered, are you sure there is no missing?" Catherine slowly swept over the dozens of magic casting masters with joy on her face. She turned to look at the middle-aged magic casting master and asked as if nothing had happened. The latter carefully counted the number of people, and then said slightly: "Madam, everyone except Miss Christine, is here."

"Very good, very good!" Catherine smiled and gently patted the middle-aged demon caster's shoulder. But the next moment, her slender hand suddenly shone black light and directly blasted into the other party's body. In an instant, the defenseless demon caster screamed and his whole body exploded in pieces. This incident was only in a moment, and the lined demon caster could not react for the time being. When they subconsciously tried to escape, Catherine had already closed her palms and suddenly activated the power of the domain!

With her low shout, a black stream of light emerged from all directions, completely covering the entire open space. Thousands of light shuttled through the domain barrier, constantly piercing through the bodies of dozens of demon casters. Crying sounded one after another, one after another fell into a pool of blood. After a few minutes, only an old demon caster was still able to stand in place...

"Why?" After seeing the experience of his companion, the magic caster obviously had lost the ability to react. Looking at Catherine who looked calm and approaching, he forgot to escape, and still stood there in a daze, murmured and repeated the worthless question.

"Want to know the answer?" Catherine gently put her hair on her temples and reached out to pat her shoulder. "It's actually very simple. What I want to cast cannot be exposed to the sun. Considering that you may say something you shouldn't say, I think it's safer to make you dead."

The Demon Forging Master was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted and pulled out the dagger, pounced on an opponent who was far stronger than him. However, Catherine just stretched out her fingers and a black light flew out from her palm, directly blasting the Demon Forging Master several meters away, and fell to the ground in pieces. The light shone brightly again, and the Demon Forging Master's body suddenly burst at this moment, turning into blood mist and dissipating in the air...

"Sorry, this is your destiny!" Catherine's smile looked so ferocious. But the next moment, a light bang suddenly came from the forest. Catherine's reaction was very fast. Before the sound fell, she rushed into the forest. Her left hand brought a light toward the source of the sound!

However, just as the light touched the jungle, Catherine suddenly withdrew her left hand and fell to the ground against physical inertia. At this moment, in front of Catherine, Christine stood in place with a pale face. Her eyes were both unstoppable fear and unconcealed astonishment and confusion.

"Why? Why do you..." Turning to look at the blood-filled open space, Christine's figure kept trembling, as if she could fall down at any time. Catherine looked at her expressionlessly, and suddenly reached out and said, "I will explain this to you in the future, and it has something to do with you. But now, hand over the thing I have entrusted you to cast first."

Christine, who was in a state of loss of consciousness, had lost consciousness, but instinctively turned the space ring and took out a small object similar to a crystal. Catherine took the crystal carefully, and Catherine suddenly smiled with satisfaction. She quickly put the crystal away, then gently put it on Christine's shoulder and whispered: "Okay, it's just some magic casters, why do you have to worry about them?"

"But..." Christine subconsciously wanted to escape when she felt the hand on her shoulder. However, after realizing that it was just a gentle pat without any malice, she reluctantly suppressed her panic and said tremblingly: "Mom, what do you want to do?"

"I'm just fighting for the best interests for us." Catherine gently held her daughter and said softly: "Okay, since you have seen it, it's time for you to know the truth. Come with me, I will let you see the birth of a miracle, and soon, maybe we, mother and daughter, can rule the world!"
