Chapter 1727: Chapter 1725: Tabasa’s Plea (The Second Super Evolution Begins!)

After this, the ground forces quickly occupied the Royal Palace and arrested the members of the Noble Council. At the same time, as Red Ponytail had previously declared, at the moment the sun rose, the flag of Tolisstin was also planted above the Royal Palace of Albion.

The entire continent was shocked when the news spread.

To be honest, when Tolisstin initially defeated Albion’s regular army, most of the high levels of various countries did not take the so-called "divine protection" seriously. In their view, whether it was the instantaneous defeat of Albion’s regular army or the anomaly at that time, it could actually be explained by Magic.

But this time was different.

Because intelligence from various countries reported———the fleet of Tolisstin departed the day before yesterday, and then this morning, Tolisstin’s fleet had already conquered Albion.

This was absolutely impossible.

This was the first time other countries began to seriously consider whether the so-called "divine protection" was really not just a mythical story, after all, if Tolisstin had such means before, it wouldn’t have remained a small country all along.

Could it be, they really obtained divine protection from the Otherworld?

If that’s the case......then what will Tolisstin do next?

"Phew..."

Laid lazily on the bed, Red Ponytail yawned.

Louise wasn’t in the room; Henrietta hosted a victory celebration banquet, which Red Ponytail had no interest in, so she stayed alone in the room at the academy. Louise went to attend the banquet because she’s a noble and the Queen summoned her, she had to obey.

But Red Ponytail didn’t need to; she was the Divine Envoy, she could choose to go or not, as she pleased.

"So bored......"

Scratching her foot, tickling her little belly, Red Ponytail rolled on the bed in boredom, then opened her personal terminal and glanced at the information above.

"Hmm......"

Red Ponytail’s gaze flashed over the information on the Heavenly Dao Palace, then she looked around and opened a folder, lightly clicked, and soon a hidden "Study Materials" folder appeared on the previously blank screen. Red Ponytail reached out to open the "Study Materials" folder.

Soon, names appeared one by one.

"Midori, Yoshino, Natsuse, Illya, Little Hei, Eiriri, Asuna, Fate, Homura, Gabriel, Megumi......Hmm, who should I look at today?"

Just as Red Ponytail was pondering, suddenly, a series of knocks sounded on the door, and hearing this knocking, Red Ponytail reluctantly put away her personal terminal, then walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door stood a red-haired girl with a bursting figure and a blue short-haired, reticent girl.

"I wondered who it was, turns out to be Kuruk and Tabasa, looking for Louise? She went to the Palace for the banquet, aren’t you going?"

"No, well actually......"

Upon hearing Red Ponytail’s inquiry, Kuruk seemed a bit nervous. She glanced at Red Ponytail, unsure of what to say. Although they got along quite well before, Kuruk simply regarded Red Ponytail as an ordinary Familiar Spirit, even though she claimed to be a Divine Envoy, Kuruk didn’t really mind.

But now it’s different; Red Ponytail led Tolisstin’s fleet to conquer the whole of Albion in just two days; such a feat Kuruk couldn’t even imagine, precisely because of this, although Red Ponytail still appeared lazy, she felt a bit nervous not knowing what to say.

"Hmm? What’s wrong?"

"Actually......"

Just as Kuruk was hesitantly pondering whether to speak, suddenly Tabasa stepped forward, came before Red Ponytail, and knelt down.

"Please, Divine Envoy, please save my mother."

"......Hmm? What happened? Is your mother injured?"

Faced with Tabasa’s sudden request, Red Ponytail felt somewhat confused; she wasn’t very familiar with Tabasa, as this girl usually just stayed by Kuruk’s side reading books, with hardly any notable action. So her sudden plea made Red Ponytail a bit surprised.

"Yes......"

Tabasa just replied this one sentence and then lowered her head without speaking further. She wasn’t very good at expressing her thoughts, and now she really didn’t know what to say.

"Uh......anyway, whatever, where is your mother? I’m just idle, I’ll see if I can help."

"My mother......"

At this point, Tabasa hesitated again.

"???"

"Um, Divine Envoy."

At this time, Kuruk beside her finally couldn’t help but speak up.

"Her mother is not in Tolisstin, but in Gaul......"

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing Kuruk’s answer, Red Ponytail nodded; she understood why these two were somewhat hesitant to speak. After all, Red Ponytail was not only Louise’s Familiar Spirit but also Tolisstin’s Divine Envoy, whereas Gaul is another country, though not as hostile as Albion, relations were not exactly friendly.

In this situation, asking Tolisstin’s Divine Envoy to go to Gaul......how one thought about it felt strange, didn’t it?

But Red Ponytail clearly didn’t care about such trivial matters.

"Gaul, huh, just going abroad? That might take a little time, let’s go."

"Eh?"

Hearing Red Ponytail’s straightforward answer, the two were both taken aback.

"What’s wrong? Isn’t saving someone the goal? Approaching the situation directly won’t delay matters, let’s go."

Red Ponytail stood up, stretched lazily; she didn’t care at all about the matters of this world, all the diplomatic political entanglements were rubbish, she was the Divine Envoy, going where she wanted, doing what she wanted without a care, why concern with so many scruples?

"But, but......"

Now Tabasa also reacted, hurriedly following behind Red Ponytail. However, compared to her usually expressionless appearance, Tabasa now seemed more like a little girl who didn’t know how to speak with strangers.

"But it’s very far, even my Familiar Spirits would take a long time to......"

"What a trivial matter."

Upon leaving the dormitory building, Red Ponytail snapped her fingers, soon, a bright red fighter jet appeared out of nowhere on the ground ahead.

"Let’s go, taking this will probably arrive in half an hour, simple and fast, and you don’t even need to pay, although it’s a bit cramped for three, but you two sitting together should barely fit."

"Is this the mount of the Divine Envoy?"

Looking at the red fighter jet in front, Kuruk couldn’t hide her surprise and amazement, however she quickly hurried with Tabasa to climb up to the seat at the back, then Red Ponytail operated the fighter jet to ascend, disappearing instantly into the Pitch Black night sky.

Under the night sky, dual moons above, the Radiance illuminated the clouds below. This scene left Tabasa and Kuruk amazed, although Tabasa’s Familiar Spirits also possessed flying capabilities, they had never reached such heights.

"So this is how it looks from the sky......"

"Tabasa......"

"I know, Kuruk."

Facing her friend’s reminder, Tabasa took a deep breath, then looked forward to Red Ponytail, who was piloting the fighter jet.

"Divine Envoy."

"Hmm? What’s the matter? Want to listen to some music? I’ve got Bach’s......but it might put you to sleep at night, how about some Qi Qin music instead?"

Sure, here’s the translated text:

"No, um, Divine Envoy, actually..."

Faced with the unorthodox manner of speaking by Red Ponytail, Tabasa was a bit confused for a moment.

"Actually, I’m not from this country."

"Oh."

Red Ponytail gave a simple "Oh," showing no particular reaction, whereas Kuruk widened his eyes.

"Wait, just like that?"

"Is there a problem? I’m not from here either, continue."

"...Alright..."

Thus, under the night sky, Tabasa confessed her background to Red Ponytail.

Tabasa is not her real name; in fact, her name is Charlotte Eleonore Oriya, and her father was the legitimate heir to the Kingdom of Gaul. However, her father was assassinated by his own brother, who then ascended to the throne. But this did not end there; even though her uncle became the king, he didn’t spare Tabasa and her mother.

So, during a banquet, the King of Gaul sent Tabasa a cup of poisoned wine, but to protect her daughter, Tabasa’s mother snatched the cup and drank it.

That cup contained a poison that caused madness. After that, Tabasa’s mother behaved as if she were insane, completely unable to recognize her own daughter.

Although Tabasa barely escaped the disaster, she was then used like a pawn. Despite the heir to the throne being dead, Tabasa’s father had many supporters within the kingdom. If pushed too hard, it might cause internal chaos. Thus, the king had Tabasa join a secretive special forces unit, sending her on dangerous missions. After all, if she died on a mission, her opponents couldn’t say much.

Tabasa quietly endured this all, to protect her mother.

Until Red Ponytail appeared.

In fact, upon learning the situation of Another World from Red Ponytail, Tabasa’s heart began to waver. Though she couldn’t heal her mother, perhaps this Familiar Spirit from the Otherworld had a way?

And after Red Ponytail led an army to swiftly conquer Albion overnight, this idea grew stronger in Tabasa’s mind.

A messenger from the Deity, from Another World.

Countless times, she had prayed to the Founder, but to no avail.

Could a Divine Envoy from Another World save her mother?

"Please, save my mother..."

This was all Tabasa could say when she reached the Daimon.

"..."

Red Ponytail didn’t say a word; instead, she reached out and pushed open the tightly shut door. Soon, Red Ponytail saw an exhausted woman sitting on a chair, hugging a rag doll, muttering to herself.

"Mother..."

Seeing the woman sitting on the chair, Tabasa quietly approached her. However, the woman looked up at her with an angry expression.

"Get out, get away! You dogs! I won’t let you harm my daughter!"

The woman held the rag doll tightly and grabbed a cup beside her, hurling it at Tabasa, but Red Ponytail quickly caught it.

"What do you want? I must protect my daughter! I will never hand her over to you!"

The appearance of Red Ponytail and Kuruk seemed to agitate the woman further. She stood up, angrily yelling at the two, while Red Ponytail shrugged and snapped her fingers, causing the woman to shut her eyes and faint to the ground.

"Mother!"

"Relax, she’s just going to have a peaceful sleep. Well... let’s put her on the bed, let me take a look... hmm... hmm?"

Red Ponytail squinted and released an investigation spell upon the woman in front of her and then...

"This is a DEBUFF, simple."

"R-really?"

Upon hearing Red Ponytail’s words, Tabasa’s voice trembled slightly.

"Of course, it might be difficult for ordinary people, but I’m a Divine Envoy. If this stumps me, I’d better go home and sell tea eggs instead."

As she spoke, Red Ponytail raised her hand.

"Cleanse Spell!"

Soon, with Red Ponytail’s incantation, a radiant white light descended in circles, enveloping the woman, followed by a soft "bang," a dark unknown aura flashing and then quickly dissipating.

"Alright, done."

Red Ponytail clapped her hands, while Tabasa reached out with trembling fingers, gently stroking the woman’s face.

"Mother...?"

"..."

It seemed the woman’s eyes slowly opened to Tabasa’s call, revealing a smile.

"Charlotte..."

"Mother!"

At this moment, Tabasa couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed forward, hugging her mother tightly.

When Tabasa came out of the room and reunited with Red Ponytail and the others, it was half an hour later.

"Tabasa, are you alright?"

Seeing her friend’s swollen eyes from crying, Kuruk hurriedly asked. Tabasa nodded vigorously, then approached Red Ponytail and knelt before her.

"Thank you for your help, Divine Envoy."

"It’s nothing, just a minor effort, not a big deal. I’ll help where I can."

For Red Ponytail, this was just like helping an elderly lady cross the street. If the person thanked her, she’d accept; if they tried to take advantage, she’d slap them with a lawsuit. No matter the outcome, it wasn’t a big deal.

"Moreover, you’re friends with Louise."

"..."

Even though Red Ponytail appeared calm, Tabasa couldn’t just simply end it with thanks. All this meant relief from the years of suffering for her and her mother, yet it wasn’t over...

"Divine Envoy, I have another request."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Tabasa?"

Both Red Ponytail and Kuruk were taken aback by Tabasa’s words, and Kuruk looked at her worried, desperately shaking her head. No matter what, Kuruk believed the Divine Envoy’s help in freeing Tabasa’s mother from lingering pain was extraordinarily generous. To ask for more might upset the Divine Envoy!

However, Red Ponytail seemed unperturbed, watching Tabasa with curiosity to hear her request.

"I wish to become your follower, Divine Envoy."

Under Red Ponytail’s gaze, Tabasa voiced her request.
