The instinct honed through years of constant battle made Rebecca, upon hearing a sudden voice behind her, respond immediately. Without looking back, she swung her elbow, attempting to create distance from the potential enemy.

 

The power at a transcendent level was incredibly strong. Even though it was an unintentional move and she didn’t exert too much force, it was not something that could be easily endured by those below legendary status.

 

Realizing this, Rebecca was startled. She quickly tried to restrain her strength, but before she could act, her arm was firmly seized by another hand, rendering her immobile.

 

Such formidable strength!

 

Instinctively struggling for a moment, Rebecca was shocked to find that she couldn’t break free from the grip of that hand. Even though the Twin Dragon Princess was currently relying solely on her physical strength without using magic or dragon power, the opponent was still formidable.

 

Fortunately, the girl who spoke behind him seemed to have no hostility. She quickly let go of Rebecca and patted her shoulder.

 

“Don’t be so nervous. Since the master has chosen to give you a chance, I won’t do anything to you. Staying here, I just want to chat with you.”

 

“You…?”

 

Rebecca finally turned around and saw the proud and standing golden-haired girl behind her. Memories rushed to her mind in an instant.

 

“You are the one by Miss Violet’s side. I remember your name is Xiao Guang, right? In the illusionary space before, you seemed to…”

 

Looking closely at the golden dragon girl, Rebecca felt puzzled. During the previous encounter, she did sense a familiar kinship from this person, but why was it gone now?

 

“Is it strange? You can use special means to conceal your aura and temporarily deceive me and the master. Naturally, we can do the same.”

 

Without any visible action from Xiao Guang, the human-like aura on her suddenly disappeared, rapidly transforming into a heat and grandeur like the sun. Even Rebecca felt a terrifying pressure that made her breath stop.

 

Rebecca, or rather Alexia, knew very well that this was undoubtedly the aura of a dragon, and moreover, the highest-ranking adult pure-blooded dragon.

 

Although Alexia died as a young dragon in the clan, and it was normal for more powerful dragons to appear, the strength surpassing her was not something she had encountered before, even in her fading memories.

 

Subconsciously, the tone of the girl became reverent.

 

“This aura… Could it be that Miss Xiao Guang is a pure-blooded Light Dragon? I didn’t expect that there would still be sacred white dragons walking among us. Do you happen to know where our clan is currently living? I haven’t seen members of our kin for a long time…”

 

“?”

 

A clear disappointment appeared on the young dragon girl’s face.

 

Originally, she deliberately stayed behind to wait for the blue dragon to wake up, mainly to ask if it knew any news about other dragon clans in this world. After all, this was one of the few things Xiao Guang was interested in.

 

It seems this person doesn’t know either. Could it be that the dragon soul is too damaged, causing memory loss?

 

“Never mind, it’s useless to rely on you. It’s rare to find a living kin, let’s just chat. By the way, do you know about the magic the master used to resurrect you?”

 

…………….

 

On the other side, after watching the entire coronation ceremony and the queen’s parade on the square, Violet didn’t linger on the streets for long. She quickly returned to the inn with the Leila and Rene.

 

Lilya must be busy right now, and the priestess didn’t plan to disturb her at the moment.

 

Sitting on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, the black-haired girl suddenly realized that after helping Princess to successfully win the throne, she suddenly found herself with nothing to do.

 

After all, Violet had no deep connections with the residents here and didn’t want to get too involved. Apart from a few people like Lilya, she had almost no one to talk to.

 

At this moment, a sensation passed through the priestess’s mind.

 

“Hmm? Has it been triggered already?”

 

In other words, her judgment was not wrong.

 

Rebecca had been resurrected.

 

When manipulating the Holy Spear through the Frost Dragon’s body, ruthlessly killing it, Violet, considering certain circumstances, had implanted a special delayed resurrection magic into Rebecca’s body.

 

【Balance of Life and Death】

 

This is a skill linked to the special hidden system “Morality Value” in the [Illusory World]. It will judge a certain value, not displayed on the panel, after the target enters a state of death.

 

If it’s positive, it will resurrect the target; otherwise, it may even increase the player’s death penalty.

 

The system of “Morality Value” itself is not explicitly mentioned in any visible text, players came up with this name through repeated exploration. Although killing can decrease this hidden value, what affects it is not limited to that. Up until Violet’s crossing, there hasn’t been a clear conclusion about its judgment mechanism.

 

However, the reason it’s called “Morality Value” is due to extensive investigations and skill feedback. Players who like to help others and exhibit friendly behavior generally have positive values, while those who often engage in PvP, kill-stealing, and malicious actions tend to have negative values.

 

No one knows how the system precisely judges, but even if only you are aware of the good or bad deeds you’ve done, it still affects the fluctuation of the “Morality Value.” It is a direct reflection of individual behavioral tendencies.

 

So, before many high-level players form a team for wilderness quests, they often use special methods to test the morality values of their team members.

 

For example, the “Balance of Life and Death” that Violet previously used.

 

The priestess could sense that Rebecca had many things buried deep within her, untold to anyone. She didn’t think letting these secrets be buried with death was a perfect choice, but she also didn’t believe in directly resurrecting her.

 

In the end, the logic that killing is justified because the other person is evil, or attacked first, doesn’t apply in this magical world. Even Violet herself has engaged in killing a few times. Just because someone is a villain or attacked first, does that make it okay for me to kill, while you can’t, regardless of any hidden motives, just because you took a life?

 

What kind of bandit logic is that?

 

Moreover, Rebecca has already died once for this cause, and she couldn’t possibly know that Violet knows resurrection magic.

 

So, Violet chose to delegate the judgment power to the mysterious “Morality Value.”

 

Obviously, Rebecca’s unknown actions, the lives she saved far outnumbering those she personally killed, led to her resurrection through the “Balance of Life and Death.” However, the priestess was a bit curious. What had this receptionist lady done secretly to receive such a judgment?

 

Also, why did she insist on seeking death? Was it truly just to escape guilt? If so, Rebecca didn’t necessarily have to wait for Violet to appear, she could have ended her own life.

 

Perhaps it has something to do with the “Eternal Throne.”

 

Well, she would know when the time came.

 

“Umm…”

 

Violet looked around the spacious room.

 

Xiao Guang hadn’t returned yet, and since she had some free time, she decided to take this opportunity to visit the royal ancestor, Lady Edith, who lived in seclusion on the second floor of the dungeon. After all, the “Twilight Council” that Rebecca mentioned earlier caught Violet’s interest. Combining various clues, it was likely the covert organization with the snake emblem, possibly involving the existence of a “Demon God.”

 

Deciding on her course of action, she instructed the winged sisters in the adjacent room to move freely, being careful not to expose their identities. With that, the priestess gracefully stepped out of the inn’s main door.
