Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1095 - 818: Sanctuary of the Fireseed (Part 2)

The relationship between him and Liz was no longer that of a simple master and servant, but rather a bond with countless threads, an entanglement that couldn’t be severed no matter how hard one tried.

Just like Reiger and Yuri, and Ais. As they interacted, they unknowingly developed an inseparable intimate relationship.

So, if anyone dared to speak ill of him and Liz in his presence, Reiger wouldn’t hesitate to resort to violence and teach them a lesson.

And clearly, Liz felt the same way.

Thus, the little princess no longer looked at Ivy with pleading eyes but rather with a somewhat hostile demeanor, her cheeks puffed up in anger.

"Your Highness..."

Ivy seemed pricked in her heart by the little princess’s gaze, showing an even more dejected and downcast mood than when threatened by Reiger.

Thus, Ivy gritted her teeth and looked at Reiger once more.

"After knowing what the Hidden Land is, what do you intend to do?"

Ivy’s tone was full of vigilance.

"That’s my business, not yours."

Reiger replied indifferently.

"No, you must tell me, or else I absolutely will not tell you anything about the Hidden Land!"

Ivy’s expression was resolute.

"Doesn’t matter," Reiger still appeared calm, saying, "after all, searching through your memory is the same."

Upon hearing this, without even thinking, Ivy immediately chanted a spell.

She wasn’t trying to resist but to seal off her own consciousness, preventing her memory or mind from being explored by interference magic.

As a powerful magician, Ivy naturally understood the impact that interference magic could have on individuals, so she had already set up various protective wards against spiritual, psychic, and memory-based interference magic on herself.

These wards could be triggered with just a single incantation, taking people by surprise, making it difficult for others to stop.

But moments later, Ivy’s expression changed.

She realized that she couldn’t activate her hidden magic formations.

This was inevitable.

"Have you forgotten where this place is?"

As if seeing through everything in her heart, Reiger’s voice reached her ears.

"This is the royal palace of the Kingdom of Ginas, protected by the strategic-level magic barrier [Light of the Celestial Pillar]."

"Here, no one can use magic, even the special abilities of high-level sword techniques are prohibited."

"The fact that you could use magic is thanks to the Demon God’s Blessing. Now that it’s gone, you’re just an ordinary person here, nothing more."

Saying this, Reiger extended a finger and touched Ivy’s forehead.

"Since you’re being uncooperative, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance."

"I won’t search your memory either, so you can speak for yourself."

"However, this time, you won’t have the freedom to decide whether or not to speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Reiger cast a spell.

"[Magic Level Ascension·Human Species Charm]."

The magic that could control others’ minds was raised to its highest level by Reiger and applied to Ivy.

"No...!"

Sensing something, Ivy let out a scream.

But the next second, her scream vanished, her eyes dimmed, and finally became vacant, losing even the expressions on her face.

"Ivy!"

As if by chance, at this moment, the young man named Leo woke up.

"Bastards! What did you do to her...?!"

Predictably, Leo lost his temper.

But...

"Boom!"

Without hesitation, Yuloli, who was beside Leo, slammed a palm down heavily on Leo’s head, causing his eyes to bulge and his body, which was about to rise in fury, to go limp, lying back down on the spot.

This scene informed everyone how Leo had passed out after Reiger lifted the [Time Stasis].

"So brutal..."

Once too afraid to speak, Luna looked at this girl who strangely resembled her own Highness with the eyes of one looking at a demon, shrank her neck, and dared not speak even more.

To be honest, the entire time this evening, the little maid had been completely bewildered.

She didn’t know who had invaded this sleeping palace, nor did she know what the Hidden Land that Reiger mentioned was, or even why Ivy was so excited about her Highness’s lineage.

For this reason, she was in a state of complete confusion, not understanding the situation at all.

Of course, no one planned to explain it to her either.

While she was in a state of bewilderment, Reiger had already begun questioning Ivy, whom he had charmed.

...

So, what is the Hidden Land?

Actually, it’s a refuge established by the ancient magic civilization before its downfall.

Eleven thousand years ago, the ancient magic civilization came to an end. The continent was about to be engulfed by disaster, and humanity faced its end in the face of that disaster, heading towards doom.

In the face of this sudden disaster, the last queen of the Reinnaier family decided to fight to the end, leading the most elite group of human warriors to defend the last main city of humanity.

But the queen naturally didn’t want everyone to accompany her towards doom. At the very least, she didn’t want to see humanity completely extinct after her failure.

Thus, the queen ordered the construction of a refuge as quickly as possible and selected a group of people to act as the last flame of humanity, moving into it.

This refuge is the so-called Hidden Land.

"The Hidden Land isn’t on the continent but is an isolated alternate space separate from the world."

"There, people no longer fight against each other, having gone through that extinction-level disaster. They came together for warmth, helping each other to continue flourishing."

"This is how we were born, as the remnants of the ancient magic civilization left in this world."

"For eleven thousand years, we’ve been living in the Hidden Land, carrying on the legacy left by the ancient magic civilization, developing and growing stronger, no longer interfering with the outside Akasha continent."

"These many years, aside from occasionally having someone wanting to leave the Hidden Land to make a home on the Akasha continent, there has never been any contact with the outside world from the Hidden Land."

This is also why humans reappeared on the Akasha continent.

Because some left the Hidden Land to thrive in the outside world, so humans once again appeared on the continent, rather than it remaining a desolate and ruined land devoid of people.

After eleven thousand years of development, the Hidden Land also became increasingly prosperous, its population exploding in size. Hence, they never stopped people from leaving, only placing restrictions on those who left so they couldn’t divulge the existence and secrets of the Hidden Land.

This way, the continent and the Hidden Land developed and prospered in peace, one side establishing modern magical civilization, while the other continued to carry on the ancient magical civilization.

Originally, this situation should have continued forever.

Until the appearance of Liz.

"In the Hidden Land, the priests of the temple hold the highest status."

"The priests stand high above and have always maintained their attention on the outside world."

"And recently, the priests discovered that the bloodline of the Reinnaier family had unexpectedly found its way to the Kingdom of Ginas, becoming a princess of the kingdom and is now even being held captive."

"The Reinnaier family has been the royal family we’ve revered for eleven thousand years, the representatives of the god. Naturally, the priests couldn’t sit by and watch the bloodline of this family suffer outside."

"So, Leo and I were ordered by the High Priest to use the teleportation array connecting the continent and the Hidden Land to come to the capital of the Kingdom of Ginas to escort the princess back."

Under the gaze of Reiger and Liz, the vacant-eyed Ivy spoke in a tone as if confiding in her closest friend, revealing all the information she knew.

"Our only mission this trip is to take away the descendant of the True Royal Family."

"The High Priest allowed us, if necessary, to even declare war on the Kingdom of Ginas directly."

"That’s why we came here with the great sacred relic bestowed by the High Priest, for the sole purpose of taking Her Highness away."

Listening to these words, regardless of Reiger’s reaction, Liz’s expression became even more complex.

She truly didn’t know what to say.
