Chapter 243 My Name is Idrija

There were many reasons why Helia showed up. The first one was definitely that it was so funny to see these idiots talking about a magic wand and saying it was themselves.

The second reason is that the time is almost up, and if she doesn’t show up, she will really become a hairpin for the rest of her life.

The third reason, although a bit far-fetched, can still be considered acceptable.

After all, Roden had someone kill the wand, and he did so on the premise that the wand belonged to Helia, which showed that the other party wanted to kill her and dared to do so. This was enough for her to fight back on the grounds of self-defense.

Helia did ask Judith for help, but she also really didn't want to implicate them, so she didn't let Judith or Donaldson take her in.

Instead, he asked Judith to turn herself into a hairpin and replace the one on the woman's head when she wasn't paying attention.

She had to find someone who had nothing to do with her to take her in, so as to avoid being discovered as soon as she entered.

However, to her surprise, it turned out that the predictions of the Tanasha family were not completely accurate and could be changed artificially.

Otherwise, how could Roden be so sure that he was on Judith, and he stared at the magic wand for so long, even having it cut off by a sword.

Oh my god, I’m dying of laughter.

As soon as they saw Helia, the people around them avoided her as if they had seen the plague god, and stared at her very vigilantly, fearing that she would rush up and attack them the next second.

After all, no one expected that Helia would suddenly punch Valosinger next to her in front of so many spectators, and then immediately attack Dorado.

She is an unpredictable bomb and no one knows when she will explode.

Helia simply ignored the disturbing gazes and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone!"

Everyone: Who is the best? ! I want to ask!

"Hey, how can you hold such an important meeting to discuss my affairs without inviting me, the protagonist?" She pretended to be sad and walked slowly around the outer circle to where Roden was. "I am really sad."

"Helia, what do you want to do by coming here uninvited?" Alfie slammed the table and shouted angrily.

Helia glanced at him and said nothing. She just complained silently in her heart: Buddy, you are being too pretentious! Hold on!

"Hey! I'm not Helia~" Helia laughed and deliberately fiddled with her body, "That's right, there were so many people at the time and no one recognized me, no wonder you couldn't tell me apart."

"After all, she is the red rose of the empire, the most dazzling pearl. Everyone loves beauty, and I am no exception. I also like this body very much!"

Alfie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on. He pointed at her and said, "You are Ide! The contestant who can imitate magic!"

Many people looked at Helia in shock, carefully identifying her appearance, as if they had just realized that there was such a person.

Of course, some people were confused. After all, not everyone paid attention to the selection and assessment of the Knights. Some even only knew about it after receiving the invitation letter, not to mention a player who was not outstanding in the assessment.

"Hehe!" Helia just laughed and didn't give a positive response.

Why? Idrija is allowed to pretend to be herself and do things, but she is not allowed to pretend to be Idrija and do things?

Roden caught the key words in Helia's words just now, narrowed his eyes, and asked uncertainly: "It was you who killed Dorado that day?"

Of course he knew Ide, but he didn't expect him to be so bold. He actually dared to pretend to be Helia and kill people in public, and finally put such a big pot on the royal family!

Now he has to appear here with Helia's face, what is he trying to do?

"Ah? Who? I don't know! I didn't kill anyone, you can't throw dirty water on me!" Helia said in a sinister voice, "I am just a poor, weak and helpless guy. The one who killed someone was the noble princess of the empire. What does it have to do with me?"

But the more she acted in a cryptic way and the more she argued perfunctorily, the more Roden was convinced that she was not Helia, but the contestant Ide.

It can only be said that the aristocratic families have been in seclusion for many years, confined to their own little world, and know too little about what is happening outside, so that they are somewhat at a loss when major events occur.

They didn't understand the royal family, let alone Helia, especially Helia after she was replaced. Even Claude didn't dare to say that he understood her, let alone these little bastards.

"Why did you kill people! Why did you disguise yourself as Helia and appear here!" Judith stared at Helia in shock and anger, looking like she had been betrayed.

Even though Helia didn't want to involve them, Roden clearly suspected Judith, and Helia's appearance here now further confirmed his betrayal.

Therefore, in order to get out of this situation as much as possible, he had to go along with Helia's play and pretend that he himself was not clear about the situation, pretending that he had mistaken Idrija for Helia and had let her in because of their past friendship.

Moreover, because of his trust in his friend, he must be angry now that he has been betrayed. At the same time, he is also terrified because he knows that he has done something wrong.

Helia spread her arms, not hiding her purpose at all, and said frankly: "Of course it's because I am the Son of Chaos who wishes the world would not be in chaos!"

"We seek the breath of chaos, sow the seeds of strife, enjoy the joy in the chaos, and offer fine wine for the grand opening of the drama!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the motive for the murder that had puzzled everyone was explained. They actually couldn't figure out why Helia or Claude would do this. Even if they wanted to deal with them, they shouldn't do it in such a high-profile manner.

Moreover, killing a useless Dorodo would pose no threat to them. If they were to kill someone, they would definitely have to kill someone significant in order to shock the magic world.

Killing Dorado would not bring any benefit, but would only spread the reputation of the royal family's tyranny and brutality, and would also arouse the fear and ambition of the association and the noble families. It was a typical loss-making business and was completely incomprehensible.

But if the murderer was not Helia, but Ide, the Son of Chaos disguised as Helia, then everything would be explained.

The Son of Chaos is a troublemaker who likes to stir up disputes and create chaos.

What Ide did now was to provoke a war between the royal family and the Magic Association and the magic families. Whether he pretended to be Helia and killed Dorado in public, or now he came to the gathering of the families to cause trouble, it was all to intensify the conflict.

That's exactly what they want to see.

But even so, there are still some people who reserve their opinions and do not believe Helia's one-sided words.

Moreover, Stergeir of the Tanasha family did not speak. The prophecy they made clearly stated that Princess Helia would come here, but no one else could be sure whether the picture in the prophecy was true.

After all, predictive magic is a peek into the future, and the only person who can be seen in the picture is Helia. Who knows whether this Helia is real or fake?

But Roden didn't care whether it was true or false. Whether it was Helia from the imperial family or Ide from the Son of Chaos, if he killed someone and came here, he would have to pay the price.

"You will pay the price for your choice." Roden gave her a vicious look. If looks could kill, he would have chopped Helia into pieces.

Following his order, the guards who had been lying in ambush filed in and directly surrounded Helia and other participants, and this action obviously irritated some people.

"Roden, we are guests. What do you mean by surrounding us?" asked one of the peace faction.

"To protect your safety." Roden lied without blinking, "and to prevent this uninvited guest from escaping."

"After all, whether it's the Imperial Princess Helia or the Son of Chaos Ide, they are not simple people, right?"

Helia: Praise and appreciation from enemies always bring joy to people.

Facing the siege, she was not panicked at all. Instead, she stroked her chin, half raised her head, stared at the ceiling, and asked for no reason: "Is your ceiling solid?"

The main building has a total of five floors, and they are on the top floor, which is a dome structure with incomprehensible pictures painted on it. It is estimated that it is related to the history of the Murabi family.

Roden ignored Helia's question and just gave the order to take action, "Kill someone and pay with your life."

Helia smiled, then summoned a huge flaming sickle and chopped off the person who rushed towards her from behind.

Then she immediately used defensive protection magic to block the magical attack. However, the fire-attributed defensive magic was not very effective and it shattered after a few hits. She had no choice but to wave the flint in her hand to block it.

This was drawn from the favorability gift pack, which just made up for her weakness of not having a melee weapon. It immediately became her second favorite after Theodore, and it seemed to be on the rise.

After all, she can now cast magic without a wand, and usually uses that delicate and small one for disguise.

Theodore was banished to the cold palace.

And since she chose to pretend to be Idrija, she certainly couldn't use Theodore's wand. After all, this wand was tied to Helia's identity, so she chose the flint, a weapon that neither Helia nor Idrija had ever used in public.

Even if I'm not used to it.

Since Roden knew that Helia would come, he must have been well prepared. Suddenly, there was light under everyone's feet, and one magic circle after another lit up, almost surrounding the entire conference hall.

And the worst thing was that Helia clearly felt that her hands and feet were somewhat out of control, and her consciousness was a little fuzzy. Even the pain did not make her feel better.

It's fucking hard control!

The condition of the others was not very good either. Several of them had already fallen on the table and lost consciousness.

Could it be that this guy Roden didn't intend to let these people get out alive? No way! He offended so many noble families at once. Is he crazy or something?

Helia observed Roden while defending herself, trying to analyze his intentions from his expression, eyes, and movements, but the old man hid his intentions too well, and his emotions were not visible on his face, which made Helia a little embarrassed.

If it's difficult, then forget it. Anyway, she didn't come here just to eavesdrop. She came here to cause trouble. If she doesn't create a shocking effect, they will look down on her.

She swung the sickle across her chest, and while swinging the sickle forward, she stepped back, creating some distance between herself and the enemy.

Then she reached for the small bag on her waist and pulled out a glass bottle as big as a finger joint. The bottle was filled with golden liquid. As she threw it forward, the bottle shattered.

The golden liquid sprayed onto the magic circle, making a crackling sound like glass breaking, and then it dimmed and stopped working in an instant.

This is her secret weapon to break out of the impasse—divine blood!

Although her old father, Watersise, fell into a coma and was unable to help her, it didn't matter. In the spirit of making the best use of everything, Helia secretly drew a few tubes of blood and brought them with her to use as bombs.

After all, it is divine blood, and it is drawn from the entity of the God of War. It is something that far exceeds the standards of humans. The divinity remaining in the blood can suppress ordinary magic and it is still very effective in breaking the deadlock.

This was told to her by Tang Yaoxing. This guy has become much more generous since the incident in the dirty river. It is not known whether it is out of guilt or for the sake of maintaining their alliance. Anyway, he only needs to move his lips for these things, and he is very happy to help in such matters.

While the magic circle was destroyed, Helia swung a flaming sword towards the dome, directly breaking through the ceiling, and flew out with wings.

Because the magic circle was destroyed, the magic of seeing the truth was useless. Helia could camouflage her wings and use magic to make it invisible.

This resulted in Helia appearing to be flying out of thin air, as if she could use flying magic.

This installation must be completed to the end, there is no reason to give up halfway.

However, Roden had another trick up his sleeve. Before Helia could leave the manor, several magicians who could perform flying magic caught up with her and cast high-level killing magic at her without hesitation.

Helia did not fight back, but just dodged and flew out, looking like she was trying to escape.

The people who were chasing her were following Ron's orders to kill her and silence her. When they saw her running away, they naturally chased after her, as if they were determined to fight to the death.

And they didn't think that with so many of them they couldn't deal with this little girl Helia.

It was not until she left the Morabi family's manor that Helia could clearly feel that her body had become much lighter, and natural elemental power was constantly flowing into her body to replenish the consumed magic power.

Without the restraints, they would naturally fight back. Helia turned unexpectedly and collided head-on with the magician who was chasing her closest. She attacked quickly and fiercely, grabbing the opponent's neck and pulling him towards her.

The magician didn't expect Helia to approach him on purpose, and he didn't think anything of it. He just put his wand against Helia's chest and recited the spell swiftly.

However, although the spell was recited, the magic did not work.

Because Helia bit his neck, like a glutton, madly absorbing the magic power in his body, and in less than a moment she sucked it all up.

She had eaten the heart of a monster, the heart of a fire dragon, Golesa, and the power of a false god. Naturally, this little magician Karami finished it in just two bites.

The two most basic elements that make up magic are spells and magic power. Without magic power, it is equivalent to having no energy or motivation, and naturally, magic cannot be performed.

After eating, she habitually sipped two mouthfuls of blood. It tasted bad, and the rusty taste was really hard for her to accept. It was completely different from the sweet and delicious taste of the god's blood.

The guy whose magic power was sucked dry couldn't even maintain the magic of flying. He could only let Helia throw him from the sky like a rag doll, and he fell to the ground and turned into a pool of meat paste.
