Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1723 - 1168: The Queen’s Desire for Conquest (2)

"Are you alright, Sister Yuloli!"

Liz also rushed to Yuloli’s side, anxiously checking her condition.

"..."

Yuloli didn’t show any intense reaction, just tilted her head, looking at the worried Liz with an expression of indifference.

Yanifet, however, continued to gaze at Reiger with a burning look.

"You can indeed dispel the Curse of the Beast King?"

As she spoke, Yanifet’s eyes seemed more predatory than before.

There was no doubt that if there were no outsiders here and only Reiger and Yanifet were present, this first queen would open her wide mouth and devour Reiger immediately.

No choice.

Reiger was able to dispel the curse that had threatened the Tistis lineage, rendering the entire Tistis family helpless. To Yanifet, the significance was immense.

Although she had avoided the fate of dying from the bloodline curse by transferring her soul and switching bodies, it was only a temporary measure.

Once her bloodline reawakened, the curse returned to her like a shadow, clinging to her like a stubborn disease.

Therefore, barring any surprises, Yanifet was likely to repeat her past life, contemplating soul transfers and body changes once the curse in the bloodline fully erupted.

However, neither the grand mystical rituals to transfer souls nor the crafting of bodies matching the soul was guaranteed success.

Especially the latter, as the skilled court magicians who once served Yanifet were no longer around. Given the current capabilities and conditions of Tistis Kingdom, cultivating a team of capable court magicians to craft new bodies is incredibly challenging.

The former is not easy either, as soul-related rituals are profoundly arcane. A single misstep could result in the soul unable to re-enter the body after leaving it, leading to its dispersal in the external world.

Moreover, each time she transferred her soul, she would drift into a long sleep, sometimes sleeping through ages. Naturally, Yanifet did not wish to live on by such means.

In this scenario, Reiger suddenly showed the ability to dispel the bloodline curse of the Tistis family. How could Yanifet not lose composure?

Unaware of this knowledge, Reiger thought Yanifet was discussing the current queen.

"Her curse has been purified, but due to the years of corruption by the curse, her body and spirit are extremely weak. It will likely take time for her to wake."

Ignoring Yanifet’s fiery gaze, Reiger advised the Altrude sisters.

"If you want to expedite her recovery, you can feed her magic potions that nourish the body or spirit, or use a secret treasure with similar effects, which would be optimal."

Upon hearing this, the Altrude sisters, who had been focusing on the current queen, responded, bowing silently to Reiger in gratitude.

It was clear that although the sisters now followed Yanifet’s orders, they still held loyalty to the serving current queen.

Yanifet naturally knew this but didn’t mind much.

Compared to the specially requisitioned Altrude sisters for convenience, she desired Reiger more.

Yet, Yanifet knew well she likely couldn’t keep the man before her.

The reason was simple: her lack of power prevented her from retaining him.

Otherwise, with her character, she’d have already used her strength to conquer Reiger, forcibly holding him within the kingdom.

Strength empowers everything; guided by this principle, Yanifet didn’t consider her approach wrong.

Of course, faced with her inability to achieve her goal, Yanifet wouldn’t resort to underhanded methods but would quickly accept this reality.

"There is time; we can take it slowly."

Yanifet chuckled softly in her heart.

The current body is at its peak, the youngest state, with ample time and potential to explore.

Since she couldn’t keep him now, she could pursue that when stronger.

As for the present...

"I’ll leave this to you."

Yanifet suddenly produced several scrolls of parchment.

"What’s this?"

Reiger accepted them casually, querying in confusion.

"You came here looking for this, didn’t you?"

Yanifet replied with a question.

Reiger paused, then realized.

"These are the documents containing information about the Kasafelgel Mountains," Yanifet noted once she saw Reiger comprehend, without further keeping him in suspense: "All information on the Kasafelgel Mountains in the royal library of Tistis Kingdom is recorded here, including the maps on how to reach there."

Initially, as per previous agreement, Yanifet was to allow Reiger to enter the royal library to seek records on the Kasafelgel Mountains.

But due to Reiger’s sudden disappearance, the royal library had already been opened; to avoid future hassle, Yanifet simply entered it herself. She also took the Altrude sisters, had them organize the information, and extracted it from the library.

Now, with Reiger back, the agreed items had to be handed to him.

"Saves me some effort."

Reiger opened the parchment scrolls, skimmed through them, and glanced at the maps inside before storing them away.

"When do you plan to leave?"

Seeing this, Yanifet asked calmly.

She knew that after acquiring information on the Kasafelgel Mountains, Reiger had no reason to stay in the queen’s palace any longer.

"Tomorrow."

Since he’s achieved his goal of coming here, Reiger didn’t intend to delay any longer.

"We’ll rest tonight and head to the Kasafelgel Mountains tomorrow."

Upon hearing Reiger’s decision, Lilith, who had regained her composure, nodded silently, while Liz became unwittingly tense.

Reiger’s decision signaled that after today, they would proceed to the Hidden Land again.

The Hidden Land, a place Liz also wanted to visit at all costs.

Yet whether it was Reiger who made the decision or Liz, who was nervous, they didn’t notice Yuloli’s gaze fluctuating again.

"Tomorrow, then?"

Yanifet nodded, gazing deeply at Reiger.

"If possible, I actually want to accompany you."

Yanifet once considered unveiling the secrets hidden within the Kasafelgel Mountains.

But the blizzards there were truly terrifying, even with Yanifet’s abilities she lacked the confidence to pass unscathed.

If it were someone else, Yanifet would believe they were courting death by wanting to enter.

But since the ones wanting to enter were Reiger and the two girls with nobler bloodlines than herself, Yanifet thought they might succeed.

If not for the myriad of affairs requiring her personal attention in the kingdom, especially the urgent succession of the throne, she’d actually want to accompany them.

But now, she could only watch.

"Remember."

Yanifet suddenly reached out, holding Reiger’s face.

"Before I conquer you, I won’t allow you to die."

These words were uttered with extreme authority and dominance by Yanifet.

In response, Reiger merely expressionlessly flicked her hand away.

"Such trivial obstacles aren’t enough to claim my life."

Previously, Reiger might not have been certain of such bold claims.

But after mastering the spell systems and acquiring the [Infinite Curse]—a bug-like spell—a mere blizzard was beneath Reiger’s concern.

No storm, however fierce, could penetrate the impenetrable.

On this journey, he was certain he would reach the Hidden Land.
