A Demon's Journey

While all these events were occurring, Laura reached the Kingdom of Cemetia.

Her aim for entering this kingdom was relatively simple. She wanted to find the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng.

Apparently, the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Cemetia possessed this legendary herb.

Upon drifting to the shore, Laura walked into the nearest city. She wanted to gather basic information about this city and the entire Kingdom.

Her stunning looks automatically drew the attention of nearby guys. They thought she was a fairy taking a walk in the human realm.

Several men had witnessed her walking out of the ocean and thought she was a sea fairy.

Laura had utilized the illusionary powers of her Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring to conceal her large pointy ears that would reveal her identity as an elf.

Laura was a bit disgusted as she noticed the wretched expressions of these men.

She soon came across a group of seven women. They were wearing skimpy outfits that significantly highlighted their figures. Some had a modest figure, while some were rather plump. Their youthful and seductive figures also drew the attention of nearby guys.

Walking over to them, Laura politely requests, "Can you please lead me to the nearest tavern?"

This group of women was startled as they heard Laura's request.

A woman in that group instinctively replied, "Sure. It would be our pleasure."

The group of women instantly stopped whatever they were doing. They seemed to be relaxing. They immediately picked up their shirts or jackets and wrapped their upper body with them.

While they were on the way to the nearest tavern, these women started conversing with Laura.

"What is your name?"

"Laura. And what about you?"

"Camilla."

"Nydia."

"Angela."

"Zoe."

"Sirena."

"Melanie."

"And my name is Fiona."

"From where are you? I saw you drifting ashore," Camilla couldn't restrain her curiosity and ask.

Laura instantly responded while making some gestures, "I was searching for an herb and fell from a cliff. Very soon, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I felt the sandy ground underneath my feet. And here I am."

"Ooh," Camilla, Nydia, and Angela chorused.

Before they could question her further, Laura asked, "What about you? Do you all belong to this city?"

"Yes," Sirena responded to this question.

"Our summer vacations are going on, so today is our reunion day. We thought it would be best to relax," Fiona spoke.

"Hmm. I see," Laura spoke.

They continued conversing about random topics on their way to the nearest tavern.

Laura found some interesting information from these women.

These women are in the ending phase of their teenage. They are studying in a local school and plan to apply for an administrative position.

Only Zoe and Sirena were planning on applying for the position of military officer. In this group, only these two possessed any real Ardor.

The two are barely 3 Star Warriors. Laura could beat them with her hands tied to her back.

However, she discovered that Sirena's parents are rather talented warriors. They handle the safety and security of this entire region.

Meanwhile, Zoe's father is a military academy instructor. He began to teach Zoe martial arts from a very young age.

By Laura's guess, Zoe's father is most likely a 4 Star Warrior, while Sirena's parents are 5 Star Warriors.

Naturally, these women also questioned Laura about her background.

Laura gave them a fake name of a city and informed them that it was somewhere in the northern regions of the Cemetia Kingdom.

Before they could further inquire about her whereabouts, Laura asked curiously, "Do you know anything about the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng?"

Suddenly, the entire group turned silent. Zoe asked, "Why do you need that mythical herb?"

Laura responded with a doleful smile, "My brother is suffering from a chronic illness. The doctor informed us that only this Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng can save him."

"This chronic illness must be related to spiritual energy, right?" Sirena asked.

This was indeed the case, so Laura nodded, "Yes."

Zoe spoke, "The doctor might be right as the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng indeed possesses strange abilities relating to the Spirit. However, the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng is in the hands of the Royal Family."

"What?!" Laura was startled upon hearing this news.

Fiona seemed surprised and commented, "It seems this news didn't reach your village."

Nydia added, "Maybe she was drifting in the ocean at that time."

"Hmm. True. That might be possible," Angela added her two cents to this discussion.

Camilla then stared in Laura's direction and spoke, "The Royal Family holds the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng, and there are rumors that the Monarch is already planning on utilizing it."

Melanie spoke, "I heard that the individual who eats the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng would possess an immortal spirit. Not even a God-Ranked Warrior can easily destroy that Spirit."

Angela spoke, "Hmph. What do you know? Do you think that a mythical herb like the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng can be consumed so easily? Even the Monarch's body will explode if he directly ingests this herb. He still needs three other herbs to ensure that the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng's energy entirely fuses with his Spirit."

Camilla added, "Yeah. But I heard that he has already acquired one of those three herbs. Only two of those herbs remain. How long do you think it will take him to acquire them? I assume not even two months."

Laura was startled upon hearing these words.

She knew a bit more about the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng than these women. This fabled herb was unique in the entire world. Only a single one exists in the world at a particular moment.

Once a warrior ingests this herb, only after he dies does a new Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng appear in the world. This herb buds out from the ground where the warrior is buried.

Laura was quite scared. If the Monarch truly ingests this Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng. It would be impossible for her to acquire this legendary herb for the next hundred years, even if she managed to kill the Monarch.

This was because this herb required hundred years to sprout. Her brother would be long gone then, and this herb would become useless to Laura.

However, all was not lost.

The Monarch of the Cemetia Kingdom had yet to utilize this herb.

However, Laura couldn't think of any idea through which she could acquire this herb. Stealing such an herb was impossible.

The Monarch of the Cemetia Kingdom must take care of this herb more than his life. Not even his children could snatch it, let alone Laura.

The power of the Royal Family was significant enough that even an Emperor-Ranked Warrior might have to return empty-handed. Meanwhile, Laura was merely a 5 Star Warrior.

Laura wanted to seek help from her comrades, but she stopped herself. She knew that the assistance they could provide her would be limited.

She also didn't wish to trouble them with this matter.

After thinking for some time, Laura finally thought of a thrilling idea.

Since she couldn't defeat the Monarch of the Cemetia Kingdom, she just needed to request help from someone who could.

The Elven Kingdom naturally possessed experts who could deal with the Monarch of the Cemetia Kingdom.

'This is my last resort. If I do this, I will be forced to remain in the Elven Kingdom until I am strong enough to escape.'

Laura is the princess of the Elven Kingdom who can instinctively sense the position of the Elven Kingdom.

At this moment, the Elven Kingdom didn't seem far away. It was just across the borders in the north.

'I need to create a solid hold over this kingdom before leaving,' Laura thought.
