After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 292

292~

"Handgun? How do you use it?"

"Just pull the trigger directly."

The Little Princess had no reservations whatsoever, directly telling the Empress the usage method.

"However, there are no bullets inside this handgun."

There weren't many bullets at all!

The manufacturing process simply didn't meet standards. The bullets produced all had the risk of exploding in the chamber, and the accuracy was also very poor.

Bullets that truly met standards were only that small portion, probably less than a one-tenth production rate. Mass production was fundamentally impossible.

And this was still the production rate with mage intervention. If they really produced according to the original process, the production rate would probably be only one percent, right?

She really didn't know how those people from the Scarlet Radiance Nation managed it. They could even create integrated circuits for electronic computers.

Clearly, making these things that weren't so high-tech compared to the modern era was already difficult following her blueprints. Yet those transmigrators from the Scarlet Radiance Nation could actually develop to this extent in such a short time?

Taking the handgun, the Little Princess casually stuffed a bullet into the magazine, then pressed the gun against the ground. Using both hands with effort to chamber it, she struggled to lift the handgun and aim at the target before her.

"Bang!!!"

The enormous sound from the handgun's firing echoed through half the Imperial Palace. At the same time, the Little Princess also couldn't quite withstand the recoil and directly fell to the ground.

She'd clearly already prepared herself, deliberately leaning her body's center of gravity forward and trying hard to control the gun. Yet she still couldn't quite handle this recoil. One shot knocked herself to the ground.

Fortunately, because she'd prepared early, the situation of the handgun knocking into her own head didn't occur.

"Mo!"

"I'm fine!"

Just her butt hurt a bit from the fall, and her arms were also numbed from the shock, numb as if they'd lost sensation.

However, this was all trivial. After a while, there'd be nothing wrong. With the Divine Power, injuries could also accelerate recovery.

"This......"

The Maid Xiao Xi looked at the shattered glass beside them and the debris scattered all over the lawn, somewhat helpless.

She had to clean up again. But this time, what broke was glass, and it was a large piece from the dome at that. Repairing it would take quite a long time.

This kind of glass was very difficult to make. To create such a large piece of glass would require at least over a week. And during this period, this indoor rear garden had no way to use this miniature Magic Circle to maintain constant temperature.

"Princess, next time when you test these weapons, could you please go outside?"

This rear garden had already been repaired who knows how many times......

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The Little Princess casually deflected.

It seemed she had no way to sleep here at noon today either!

Before long, she recovered from her dejection.

"By the way, Princess, do you want to go look at the White Glaze Experimental Zone? Over there has basically already recovered to its original state. It's just that there are still some leftover graffiti......"

As for the graffiti's content, needless to say, one could guess what it was. It was probably instilling in everyone the concept that she was a witch, right?

However, now it wasn't just her cheap Father the King exerting effort. The Empress's side was also exerting effort, working hard to reverse her image before the masses.

"No need."

As Princess, she still knew what the situation was over at the White Glaze Experimental Zone. So she didn't want to go back to look, didn't want others to know the news of her return.

Right now, only a minority knew she'd returned to Glaze Nation. Only the soldiers guarding the coastline and personnel within the Imperial Palace knew, and they'd already been ordered to keep it secret. The outside world temporarily didn't know about this matter yet.

"Then what do you plan to do next, Princess?"

"Plan to do what?"

The Little Princess thought about it and gave an answer:

"Eat, drink, play, and wait for death?"

"This really is...... quite far-sighted!"

The corner of the Maid Xiao Xi's mouth twitched crazily.

But forget it. Her Princess being able to take the first step out of withdrawal was already quite remarkable. She couldn't demand anything more.

"Princess, shall we go eat first?"

"Mm."

She was also hungry. Perfect timing.

......

......

Meanwhile, far away on the other side of the Scarlet Phoenix Nation.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What the hell is this?"

Cecilia spat three times in succession before finally spitting out the wood shavings in her mouth.

She absolutely hadn't expected she'd actually be ambushed, and it was a planned ambush that directly buried her in collapsed rubble.

Someone actually dared ambush the Guardian Great Archmage. They really didn't want their lives!

If she caught the mastermind behind this, she absolutely had to peel off a layer of their skin.

"Hey, have you played enough yet?"

Cecilia used Magic Power to push away all the surrounding remnants and broken walls, slightly moving her muscles and bones.

"Damn it! Sure enough, this degree simply can't injure her...... We're withdrawing!!!"

"Escape?"

She also didn't know where these few got their confidence from, thinking they had a way to escape from a Great Archmage's hands.

However, she quickly found out. It was relying on several High-Grade Magic Scrolls.

Thinking they could escape from her hands with just High-Grade Magic Scrolls?

Cecilia mobilized Magic Power, pulling the entire surrounding area into her unique domain. In this domain, all magic would lose effect, including her own.

Fool's Realm!

"The Magic Scrolls don't work!"

After discovering all magical means didn't work, the person in the lead made a crazy decision.

Since it was Cecilia's Fool's Realm, then the person deploying the domain also had no way to use Magic Power. This was the outside world's unanimous understanding of Cecilia.

"She also can't use Magic Power. Take her down!"

To protect themselves, they could only revoke the domain, right? This way, they could also use High-Grade Magic Scrolls to escape the instant the domain was released.

"Is that so? That's what you think?"

However, they seemed to have forgotten that since even they could think of this point, the person deploying this domain could definitely also think of it.

"Bang!...... Bang bang bang!"

After several loud sounds, all of them fell to the ground.

And Cecilia calmly blew on the gun muzzle.

To deal with this kind of guy, as expected, guns were still most useful.

Well...... actually, if she wanted to interfere with these few Magic Scrolls' operation, she could still do it. It was just that this required her to expend some effort. She really didn't want to have to catch them one by one while also interfering with magic. She simply just made all magic ineffective directly.

In any case, she had a gun in her hand. As long as she had this thing, then within her domain, she was invincible!

If she encountered a strong enemy, at worst she'd instantly release the domain to heal herself, then continue covering the domain and wearing them down.

"Ling'er~"

"Lady Cecilia...... When outside, could you please not address me like that?"

"Not okay?"

"......"

The Maid Ling fell silent.

As Cecilia was her mentor, addressing her by her nickname like this didn't seem wrong. But she just didn't like Cecilia addressing her like this when outside.

If it were in private, that would be fine. She'd be happy for Cecilia to call her this way, even call her however she wanted. But now was different. This was during the Great Purge. She didn't want others to hear herself being addressed like this.
