39. A Genius At Dual Cultivation?
Xia Yi perked up her ears, casting an expectant look at Sera.
"Sera, what's the result?"
Sera smiled, "Congratulations, Princess Xia Yi. You have gained the approval of the lizard clan. Prince Gu Ya agrees to let you go alone to fight against the rebel Gudan of the Blackstone Kingdom."
"Yay!!"
Xia Yi raised her hands in joy. Everything was going according to her plan. Could it really be fate?
Such a wonderful start!
Cheer for me, applaud for me!
She felt that it wouldn't be long before she could leave the Dragon Clan and return to the human world.
"However, Her Majesty the Queen has an additional condition. To ensure your personal safety, there must be someone accompanying you to provide protection," Sera added.
"One person?"
"According to your wishes, the number of gurds can be increased, but at least one person must be there," Sera explained, "This is the bottom line of Her Majesty the Queen. If you disagree, she will not agree to let you go to the Blackstone Kingdom."
"One person is fine."
Xia Yi thought about it. Indeed, how could the Dragon Clan just let her leave alone? After all, she was the future heir of the Dragon Clan.
Although it was a bit different from what she had hoped for, it was not unacceptable.
"Who's going with me?"
"It's my sister, Lucia," Sera replied.
Lucia?
Xia Yi immediately thought of the capable and serious red-haired maid. In her memory, Lucia didn't appear in the Dragon Palace very often. She seemed to be always carrying out various tasks and was very capable.
"Princess, do you need me to accompany you?" Sera asked proactively, her voice tinged with a bit of worry.
After all, they had been together for so many years, and Xia Yi had never been on a long journey before. It was only natural for her personal maid to want to go with her.
Even though she was a bit reluctant, sorry, Sera! I've made up my mind!
"No, Sera, I've passed the royal trial and the Dragon Clan has started to change their views on me. Next, I need to show actual results to consolidate my position. If too many people protect me, it will affect the Dragon Clan's evaluation of my trip to the Blackstone Kingdom," Xia Yi said.
"Alright, Princess, I understand. Please do your best," Sera's expression seemed a bit lonely.
…
In the reception room.
Xia Yi changed into a new set of clothes and met with the lizard clan again. She needed to discuss the situation in the Blackstone Kingdom with Gu Ya. This matter was now entirely her responsibility, and the other dragons would not interfere.
"Good evening, Princess."
Gu Ya greeted politely, and the other members of the lizard clan followed suit.
"Good evening, Prince Gu Ya."
Xia Yi responded with standard etiquette and then sat down.
Everyone's attitude towards Xia Yi had changed, especially Hei Ya, whose eyes revealed respect. It seemed that Xia Yi had really impressed him.
"Princess Xia Yi's strength is outstanding. Even my strongest attack can't match hers. With your support, I believe defeating Gudan's army is a sure thing."
Hei Ya asked curiously:
"But, I still don't quite understand, Princess Xia Yi, are you a magician or a swordsman?"
"Ah? This…"
"Oh, I see. You must be a dual cultivator, right? In the case of dual cultivation, magic shows excellent talent, and the attainment of swordsmanship is even more astonishing. Truly worthy of being the daughter of the Silver Dragon Queen, you are extraordinarily talented and unique."
If one had 100 points of energy, 50 points would be given to magic, and 50 points to swordsmanship, then the final result might be that neither achievement is high. The normal thinking of people is to focus on one of them, and the other is just for fun.
Except for a very small number of geniuses among geniuses, no one would choose dual cultivation.
Xia Yi was an exception. After all, she had devoted herself to studying swordsmanship in her previous life, and her realm in swordsmanship was not low, it was just that her hardware conditions were not up to par.
In this life, without her memories, she had been learning magic all along. She had the bloodline of the Silver Dragon Royal Family, and her talent in magic was very outstanding.
After regaining her memories, she found herself in this delicate situation of dual cultivation.
She didn't know how to explain it, so she could only gloss over it.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment. But let's discuss the situation in the Blackstone Kingdom first. After all, defeating Gudan is the top priority right now," Xia Yi changed the subject.
Hearing this, the expressions of the lizard clan members became serious.
"Princess Xia Yi, you're right. Hei Ya, bring out the map. I'll explain it to the princess myself."
At Gu Ya's command, Hei Ya took out a map and spread it out in front of Xia Yi.
Looking at the power map, Xia Yi roughly understood the current situation in the Blackstone Kingdom. Most of the areas had been occupied by Gudan, and Gu Ya's side was left with only a small part of the power, being beaten back step by step, and had shrunk from a kingdom to a small area on the frontier.
"The situation doesn't look good," Xia Yi gave her assessment.
Gu Ya replied helplessly, "Yes, that's the case. Since most of my father's subordinates have joined Gudan, their power is growing, and the combat power around me is getting less and less… But at the same time, we also have a great opportunity."
"Oh?"
"The people who have gathered around Gudan are a mixed bag, each with their own agenda. They are not those who have been following him from the beginning, and they are not united. They belong to whoever wins and can help whoever, just hoping to gain benefits from it."
"If Gudan falls, these people will turn to you?" Xia Yi asked.
Prince Gu Ya looked at General Hei Ya.
The burly lizard man cleared his throat and said:
"Right now, the only territory we have left is surrounded by Gudan's army. Gudan, eager for quick success, thinks he has the winning ticket. In order to ensure his absolute position after the war, he ordered others to only surround us, while he plans to break in and take Prince Gu Ya's head. We just need to seize this opportunity, show a flaw, lure the enemy in, kill Gudan, and then show the others that we have gained the support of the Dragon Kingdom. Knowing that they are no match for us, they will retreat."
"Princess, Hei Ya and I must rush back to our territory as soon as possible. This secret trip to the Dragon Kingdom for help has left us with little time. If Gudan finds out, everything will be over!" Gu Ya added.
"In that case, let's set off as soon as possible," Xia Yi nodded
…
In the Dragon Palace garden, Xia Lulu sat with a black cat lounging on her fair thighs. Her eyes were complex as she stroked the cat's head.
"Your Majesty, I'm back," Lucia approached Xia Lulu and reported, "The negotiations are over. Princess Xia Yi has decided to set off immediately. I will accompany her to the Blackstone Kingdom."
"Good, I understand."
The Silver Dragon Queen lifted her head, looking at her loyal royal maid, and fell silent for a while.
"Lucia, I have a secret mission for you."
