In Ophelia's room, Bexia did quite a few things she considered "absurd", but in reality, she didn't do much... just confirmed their relationship completely!
After Ophelia finished getting dressed, happily holding onto Bexia's arm, they walked out of the room half an hour later. Bexia suddenly felt a bit regretful. Although they did many things, they didn't take the final step. Perhaps she was thinking that they should let everything happen naturally. (She scolded herself for having dirty thoughts.)
Joanna smirked as she looked at Ophelia and Bexia, wondering what they had been up to for so long. Had the Princess already been conquered? But that would be too quick!
However, upon closer inspection, it seemed that nothing of the sort had happened with Ophelia. Nonetheless, whatever they were up to on the ground was still intriguing.
Sakuya, sitting on a chair enjoying some snacks, saw Bexia appear and immediately ran over. But when she saw Ophelia standing nearby, she involuntarily stopped in her tracks.
"Are you Sakuya? You're so cute!" Ophelia exclaimed as she saw Sakuya, her eyes twinkling, and lifted her up, rubbing her face against Sakuya's cheek. She was surprised to discover that Sakuya smelled extremely pleasant.
"Just as Bexia said, you smell amazing!" Ophelia buried her face in Sakuya's hair and took a deep breath, looking completely intoxicated.
Sakuya felt uncomfortable from Ophelia's enthusiasm, as if she were being treated like a body pillow. But she couldn't resist Ophelia's hold and could only allow herself to be "molested" until Bexia finally "rescued" her from Ophelia's grasp.
"You two should just stay here from now on!" Ophelia said.
"Okay!" Bexia nodded.
"Then Joanna, go tidy up!"
"Yes, Princess!" Joanna lightly bowed and left.
"In the afternoon, accompany me to the Legion!" Ophelia said playfully to Bexia. Women could be really unpredictable. Before, Ophelia had taken care of her like an older sister, but now she had a whiff of coquettishness about her.
But Bexia couldn't find a reason to refuse this request.
"Okay!" Bexia nodded.
"Now, let's talk about how you ended up here!" Ophelia stared into Bexia's eyes. Normally, the Dark Border was difficult to find. If no one had guided them, they wouldn't have found their way there.
"This is a long story. Originally, I was planning to visit Sis Dragon during my vacation, but then..." Bexia briefly recounted what had happened afterward in Anzu, especially the events that took place in the Dragon God Space. It was like a fantastic adventure story, astonishing Ophelia.
"By the way, what happened to Long Momo and the others?"
"I don't know. I was sucked into a spatial rift, but I'm sure they're fine. After all, she received the inheritance of the Dragon God High Priest!" Bexia also cared about what happened afterward, not knowing if Long Momo was safe or not. But if she was fine, she probably became the High Priest of Anzu. After all, Long Hao was already dead, and she possessed the inheritance of the High Priest, making it easy for her to inherit the position of High Priest.
"But Ophelia, you can inquire about Sis Dragon's situation, I'm worried about her..."
"That's for sure, Long Momo is also my good friend!" Ophelia nodded.
"What about Christine? Is it really okay for you to leave her behind with Anzu? She depends on you so much?"
"It should be fine for her to be with Sis Dragon and the others. Once we're done here, I'll go pick her up!" Bexia suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, I almost forgot! Ophelia, this thing is for you. It should be very helpful."
As Bexia spoke, she took out the Banner of the Dragon's Order, a two-meter-long flag that looked very ancient. The intricate patterns on it added a sense of mystery, and a feeling of solemn killing engulfed the air, as if a battlefield of corpses and blood had appeared before their eyes.
"Is this the reward you obtained in the trial space?!" Ophelia naturally thought of the trial space after hearing Bexia's story.
"This is a very powerful auxiliary equipment. Once activated, it can give immense power to friendly forces within a large area. I think this should be very helpful for you, Ophelia, right?"
"Also, I have some Dragon Power Stoste and Frost Marrow here. I'll give them to you as well!" Bexia took out all the Dragon Power Stoste and some Frost Marrow from the subspace. The reason she didn't take out all the Frost Marrow was mainly because it was extremely cold and had attribute properties. Ophelia herself possessed wind attribute power, so absorbing too much Frost Marrow might have some impact on her.
"So much Dragon Power Stoste! It seems like this Dragon God Space is full of treasures. It's just a pity that it's closed!" Ophelia naturally accepted all of Bexia's items. After all, she belonged to Bexia now. Was there any reason not to take her things?
When Ophelia received the Banner of the Dragon's Order, she couldn't help but be surprised by the power inside it. Although Bexia mentioned the Monarch level, Ophelia wasn't very clear about the power of a Monarch level. But after holding the flag, the heavy power made her feel extremely insignificant, as if she was an ant facing a mountain.
"Such a powerful thing!"
"Ophelia, you need to pledge your blood to become its master, otherwise, you won't be able to use it!" Bexia said. Equipment of Monarch and higher levels had this ability and required a blood pledge to establish a special connection. Although it could be erased, it would take a long time to eliminate the mark between peers. During this period, equipment with such marks could only be used by the owner to unleash its power.
"Alright!" Ophelia wasn't a hesitant person. She lightly scratched her fingertip with her nail and pressed it onto the Banner of the Dragon's Order. Immediately, a burst of blood-colored light erupted, and after a while, she opened her eyes.
"This thing is indeed powerful, but the digestion is too great!" Ophelia frowned and said. After pledging her blood, she could have a detailed understanding of the specific information of the Banner of the Dragon's Order, whereas Bexia could only have a rough idea before.
"What's wrong?" Bexia quickly asked.
"Although it's not necessary for me to maintain the consumption, using one instance of magic power is estimated to be equivalent to ten champions. If I use magic stones to replenish the consumption, I can't afford it!" Ophelia was still speaking about the most basic point. In reality, this sovereign-level support item is intended for use by sovereign-level beings. Therefore, one can imagine the amount of energy required to amplify a group of sovereign-level entities.
"Who said we have to use magic stones, Ophelia? You should find a group of people to charge the battle flag. Don't you have so many soldiers under your command? Let them transmit magic power into it whenever they have nothing to do. When it's needed, use it!"
"If we don't have enough people, we can go to the adventurer's guild and post a mission. I guarantee there will be a queue of adventurers coming. If one thousand people are not enough, can't we fill the energy of the battle flag with ten thousand or even a hundred thousand?"
