"The same goes for the Queen's Voice." Brant nodded. "I'm going to report the news."

"Who are they?" Korra asked, "Are they in league with Sakota, the man who saved Weiwei?"

Brent thought for a moment and replied, "Probably not. That blue-haired Sakota is a fallen angel. Not long ago, he was being hunted by his own people."

Korra nodded, having made a decision in her mind.

If that's the case, then report their whereabouts and get some credit.

Anyway, the Queen's Voice is also chasing them, and the two sides might collide with each other at that time, which is simply a free achievement.

…………

Una Volcano, in an unknown cave.

Adele sat quietly in the corner, sweat pouring down her face.

Katia and Magna's situation was not much better. Only Ermengarde, who was disguised as Liberi, looked normal.

The environment in the lava cave was too harsh. Even if they hid only on the periphery, they had to endure the scorching heat, bad air, and harassment from the Originium worms.

In addition, Caprini's hair is particularly warm, which is simply adding heat to the heat.

If Ermengarde had not been able to cast ice spells from time to time to help cool down, the lamb family of three would have probably fainted from heatstroke due to lack of water.

Katya counted the remaining supplies. There were still a lot of canned food, but the most important thing, water, was almost gone.

Glancing at her daughter in the corner, she reluctantly fell asleep after Miss Arrow performed the Icicle Spell.

He turned his head and gave the other two a look, and the three adults moved quietly out of the cave.

Dark red flames flickered in the lava cave, magma was flowing quietly in the distance, and poisonous sulfur smoke and sparks were swirling in the tunnel, making people feel like they had fallen into the hot throat of a dragon.

The three of them did not dare to leave the cave too far. This was one of the few safe areas. They had accidentally discovered it during their exploration and thought it could be used for temporary rest. Now it had become a hiding place to save their lives.

"It's been three days, and the remnants of the Witch King haven't given up the hunt." Katia lowered her voice, "We must find a way to break out. Otherwise, even if they don't find us, we'll be trapped here and die."

When this matter was mentioned, the three of them fell into silence again.

Katya and Magna really couldn't understand. They were just studying geology, which was not a popular major in college, so why were they suddenly targeted by the remnants of the Witch King?

Katia had suspected that the remnants of the Witch King might be coming for him alone.

After all, he is a professor at the Originium Arts Academy of William University. If the remnants of the Witch King can control him, they can achieve many goals.

But it turns out that the remnants of the Witch King seem to value Magna's research on volcanoes more.

They even resort to tough measures.

"Have you noticed?" Magna suddenly said, "The temperature in the cave has been rising rapidly over the past two days. Although we can't accurately measure it without instruments, it feels like it's risen by at least ten degrees."

Ermengarde nodded and said, "The icicles are indeed melting faster and faster, and the cooling effect is becoming increasingly limited."

"Our previous exploration has proven that Una Volcano is entering an active period and is very likely to experience a small-scale eruption. Now it seems that this eruption is not far away."

Magna voiced her own judgment, making the urgency even more suffocating.

"How long do you think it will take until the outbreak?" Katia asked. "A rough estimate will be enough."

"I don't know. We can't conduct effective observations right now." Magna shook her head. "It could be as long as a few weeks, as short as a few days, or even tomorrow."

Katia's brows knitted together, her gentle face twisted by the pressure.

Ermengarde was very calm. As long as the life knot was not broken, geological disasters could not kill the lich.

With her strength, she actually had the opportunity to break out and escape alone at the beginning, but later she chose to provide cover for Professor Naumann and his family.

Katya and Magna are both nice people.

In their daily academic work, they don't even exploit their graduate students!

Not only that, Magna often asked her about her well-being, and Katya always reminded her not to overwork herself.

This moved Ermengarde so much that she almost cried. Could it be that there really were such good university professors and graduate supervisors in this world?

What's more, she is not considered a student of either of them.

He is just a scholar who accepted a recruitment commission and came to work to earn money to raise research funds.

Logically speaking, it doesn't matter how you exploit them, since you've already paid for it.

If that were the case, she wouldn't have any psychological burden when she ran away.

"I'm going to lead away the remaining Witch King's followers!"

Katya's expression suddenly relaxed, and she made a firm decision.

"Take this opportunity to take Adele away from Una Volcano and get as far away as possible!"

Magna looked at her husband and knew that he would make such a choice, so she did not object at this time.

Unless there is a better way, someone must be willing to sacrifice themselves in order to break through.

However, his own strength was not as good as Katia's, and he was completely unable to deal with the enemy.

"No, let me lead away the remaining Witch King's followers."

Ermengarde suddenly spoke up, her attitude just as firm as ever, not allowing anyone to question it.

She is actually the most suitable person to sacrifice. She will not die anyway, but she also needs to pay some price.

The lich's body can indeed be repaired with the help of the life knot after being damaged, but the process is extremely slow. If you want to speed it up, you have to use some special spell materials.

When it comes to magic materials, money is absolutely necessary in today's society.

For the poor Miss Lich, this wave will definitely put her in debt, and the sacrifice is huge.

What's more, dying once would delay Teacher Fremont's research project and the potion order from Chen Xiu.

By then, she would have to endure the breach of contract alone, and she might even have to sell herself to pay off her debts.

This is also the reason why she didn't stand up until she was on the verge of despair.

"No!" Katia retorted sharply, "Ms. Arrow, you've done enough for us."

"Professor Katia." Ermengarde looked at him and said bluntly, "If possible, I don't want to see Adele lose her father and become a child from a single-parent family."

Katya paused for a moment. She really didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.

He really couldn't let go of Adele, and couldn't imagine how sad she would be after losing him.

But if he is asked to accept the other party's sacrifice, he will feel that he is despicable and may even regret it for the rest of his life.

"Ero, we appreciate your kindness." Magna held her husband's hand, her eyes lowered. "The earth can tolerate the capriciousness of magma, but humans must learn to take responsibility for their own destiny... Katia is not only my companion, but also the first mountain Adele sees when she looks up at the stars. He will fulfill his duties, and so will I in the days ahead."

Katya silently squeezed his wife's hand and stroked the back of her hand with his other hand.

It's a farewell, a request, and an apology.

Ermengarde sighed softly, wishing the Naumanns could be a little more selfish.

But if that were the case, I wouldn't be willing to help them at the terrible cost of bankruptcy. It's really difficult to deal with!

Should I confess my identity to them?

Although doing so goes against Mr. Fremont's prohibition, it is the only way to convince them.

This way, he could get the Naumanns to help share the huge expense of his body reconstruction, and it would also make it easier for them to accept his kindness and feel better...

As for the punishment for violating the ban, it is nothing more than working for the teacher for a few more years without pay.

Miss Lich made up her mind and was about to remove her disguise to reveal her true self when she heard a loud noise suddenly coming from the cave.

"As expected! I still prefer comedies with happy endings to tragedies that make you cry your eyes out!!"

The elusive fat penguin jumped out from somewhere, instantly disrupting the dull and depressing atmosphere. Everyone was stunned and their eyes were involuntarily fixed on him.

"I heard someone here needs Penguin Logistics' rescue services! Since you're a regular customer, if you place the order now, I can give you a 10% discount!"

"Mr. Emperor!? Why are you here?" Magna was the first to call out.

"This kind of thing is not important!" The emperor took a few steps forward: "What's important is that you desperately need help right now!"

Ermengarde immediately guessed the reason and confirmed, "Isn't it Chen Xiu who asked you to come?"

"Of course not!" the emperor argued loudly, "How can an employee possibly order the boss around?"

Ermengarde nodded imperceptibly when she heard this. That's what it seems.

Glancing at the Naumanns, the deadlock was finally resolved.

Although the Cyclops sees only tragedy, he is often unable to resolve it himself.

But Chen Xiu cleverly used the emperor to allow the beast master to play a unique role in fate.

He was not sure when he saw it last time, but now it seems that this is exactly the method he found, but he doesn’t know where the limit of this method is.

While Miss Lich was thinking about academic issues, Katia also thought about it seriously and did not directly agree to the emperor.

"Mr. Great Emperor, I won't ask how you found us, but those remnants of the Witch King outside are numerous and powerful. You only have three people at Penguin Logistics. Are you sure you can lead the four of us safely out of their encirclement?"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you questioning the business capabilities of Penguin Logistics?"

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

"Well, as a customer, this is indeed your right, but my name as the Emperor is your guarantee! Penguin Logistics has a 100% completion rate for commissions since its establishment! This is the confidence I can give you!"

Katya looked at the emperor's confident expression, but due to her previous impression, she really couldn't trust him.

However, Ero had just asked about Chen Xiu, and that Sarkaz was indeed very reliable.

Katia gave Ermengarde a subtle look and received a positive response from her.

He looked at Magna again and saw new hope in each other's eyes.

"Well then, Mr. Great."

Katia leaned forward slightly and extended her hand to the emperor.

"I'll leave this trip up to you! We'll follow your instructions on all actions!"

"Haha! It should have been like this from the beginning!" The emperor laughed and shook Katia's hand.

In the cave, Adele was awakened by the emperor's voice. She rubbed her eyes and got up, then recognized that it was the noisy Uncle Liberi.

The lamb slowly came to the edge of the cave and stuck its head out: "Dad, Mom..."

Hearing her daughter's soft voice, Katia immediately turned around, smiled and waved at her, while Magna ran over and hugged her.

"Adele, you woke up just in time. We have to leave here!"

Chapter 130 Chen Xiu: Goodbye, Leitania! (4K)

"You guys take a break here and recover. I still have some preparations to do."

After the emperor finished speaking, he drew his gun and prepared to attack himself, and went to find Dolly.

But after seeing Adele, he stopped again.

Some scenes are indeed not suitable for children to see. It would be bad if they scared her.

The emperor thought so and decided to jump into the lava around him instead. Anyway, he would have to swim when he got to Doli.

But as soon as he stepped out of the area around the cave, the fat penguin suddenly felt a scorching heat on the soles of his feet, as if he had stepped on teppanyaki kitchen utensils.

"Oh shit! My goose feet are almost cooked!"

Ling Shuai only lasted three seconds before he suddenly jumped three feet high and fell into the lava next to him.

In the crater, Dolly lay lazily in the lava, and the flock of sheep gathered around him, excited and restless, waiting for the volcano to erupt.

Although it was only a small-scale eruption, such an event is rare and they can't wait to surf in the erupting magma.

The emperor free-falls from a high altitude again, but this time he is well prepared.

He twisted his body in mid-air, falling headfirst into the lava lake like a missile.

Compared with the fish-frying performance last time, the sparks were well controlled this time and will definitely get high scores from the judges.

Dolly opened one eye and knew who it was from the noise. He was a little surprised that the emperor came again.

It couldn't be that he was here to attend the volcano party he was about to start, right?
