With the zone now captured, Shiro decided to focus on reinforcing their defences for now. The event will last for a week so there is no need to be hasty.
The best move for them is probably to just hang back and watch everyone battle it out. Plus, it would also allow her to gather some information on the other Queens.
There were two Queens near the zone that Shiro had captured.
The first crest is a woman holding a sword in her right hand and the other hand holds a scale. Her face is divided by the sword with the right side having a smile and the other having a frown.
As for the second, it was an eye that had a sword stabbing through it along with an angelic halo where the guard of the sword would be.
Since the crest would normally tell her the powers that the Queens have, Shiro wanted to analyse her potential enemies.
'Hmm… the first looks like it has something to do with balance. Her face being split in two might mean she can reverse balance. Perhaps she can make strong attacks weak and weak attacks strong?' Shiro wondered.
While the crest might give a hint, it wasn't a guarantee. After all, her crest didn't tell all of her powers. At most, they'll know that she has a flying city but that was it. There was not a single clue about her guns, turrets, mechs or even her power over souls.
Therefore, she can only use this to guess one of their abilities but one was still better than none.
"I don't think we'll be fighting anymore for now so everyone can go back and rest." Shiro said as she glanced back.
She didn't want to keep them around for too long since all of them had training they wanted to do.
"Ehh…. And here I wanted to stretch my muscles after seclusion." Keomi pouted as Koji patted her head.
"If you want to stretch your muscles you can spar with your old man instead." Koji grinned as Keomi flinched.
"Urg… Dad you don't know how to hold back. I'm not a monster like big sis, my bones will shatter." Keomi frowned.
"That's true. Uncle you're too used to using more strength during spars when it comes to me and Shiro." Keiko chuckled.
Scratching his head, Koji wondered if that was the case.
"Your daughter is still young and her level is low. Learn how to hold back." Li Jian patted Koji's shoulder.
"And you're saying you know how to hold back as well huh?!" Koji retorted as the corner of his eye started to twitch.
"Mn? Why are you two so hostile?" Shiro asked curiously.
"What do you mean by hostility? Aren't we the best of friends? We're both Attie's grandpa so we can't be fighting now can we?" Li Jian forced a grin as he started to contest against Koji in terms of strength.
"Grandpa?! Who the f*ck are you to call yourself Attie's grandpa." Koji felt like a vein was about to burst since the old man in front of him had no relation to his daughter nor Attie.
"Dad!"
"I'll keep the swearing down hon!" Koji replied as Shiro facepalmed in fatigue.
"Tell him young lass. Didn't I become Attie's grandpa?" Li Jian asked as Shiro rolled her eyes.
Before she could even say anything, Attie pushed the two away from one another.
"Let's not fight here alright? Cough also I'm not a kid anymore, you don't need to call me Attie." Atesh smiled but Li Jian shook his head.
"Nonsense. Even though you look like this you're still young. Until you bring your own children in front of me, you'll always be Attie to gramps." Li Jian shook his head.
"Fine. I'll let you call me Attie on one condition. You too grandpa Koji." Atesh smiled as Koji raised his eyebrows.
"Go on."
"Why don't you two have a drinking contest? Since I don't want to see any of you hurt when don't you just settle it using drinks?" Atesh suggested.
Hearing this, both Koji and Li Jian glared at one another.
"Why don't we turn off our resistances for this old man." Li Jian grinned.
"Why don't you look in the mirror first before calling me old man you relic." Koji scoffed.
"Bah! At least a relic still has some uses you broken tool. Can't even get to tier 6."
"Aren't you also stuck there you old bastard?!"
"Ahem! Why don't you two stop bickering like children and go drink already." Shiro coughed as the two immediately shut their mouths.
"Fine fine, I can call it a truce until we get to the drinking table. Speaking of which, young lass, why don't you join us for a few drinks?" Li Jian offered.
"No thanks. I can't get drunk unless I turn off all my skills and even then it's hard. Plus, I don't think you want a demi god going on a drunken rampage now do you?" Shiro smirked.
Hearing this, everyone that had witnessed the infamous drunk Shiro a few months ago paled and shook their heads.
"You're not allowed to get drunk mum." Atesh coughed as Shiro laughed.
"Don't worry I won't. It would be annoying if I destroy this city after all." Shiro grinned.
"Surely not right?" Both Li Jian and Koji raised their eyebrows since they didn't think Shiro would go that far.
"She would." Silvia replied immediately.
Seeing her blunt honesty, the two decided that it was probably best that they don't inquire about what happened.
"Shall we?" Koji asked as Li Jian nodded
"Alright come to my room. I got a good table there that we can use."
Watching the two leave, Shiro reinforced Li Jian's room just so that they don't go around destroying anything just in case they were violent drunks like she was.
"Since dad is going off to drink, I'm gonna go back and do more training. Want to join me?" Keomi asked as Keiko nodded her head.
"Sure, let's go."
One by one, they left the command centre as Yin and Attie went off to the food hall since Yin wanted to cook Attie some more delicacies that she had learnt in her spare time.
"Do you have a hot spring or something here? I want to enjoy a hot bath for a bit." Nimue asked as Shiro nodded her head.
"I can make one now. You want one with a good view?" Shiro asked.
"Sure, where will it be?"
"Top of this tower." Shiro pointed up.
"You know what? Sounds great. A hot spring with a good view of the city, the sun setting in the background and me ignoring all of the stress I have already accumulated in one day." Nimue nodded as she started to make her way up.
Letting everyone else in the command centre take some time off, Shiro stretched and rested on her chair.
"A warm drink or juice?" Nan Tian asked with a small smile.
"Hmm… I would say juice but I actually fancy something hot right now." Shiro replied lazily as she laid her head on the table.
"Hot chocolate?"
"Mn."
Reaching into his inventory, Nan Tian pulled out a mug and started to make a hot chocolate in front of her.
"Honestly, I wonder what the hell you store in your inventory sometimes." Shiro raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm… wheelchairs, healing potions, a batch of juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, some towels, a bed, one or two weapons and the rest are just adventuring gear like life saving talismans that everyone would have." Nan Tian replied as Shiro was speechless.
"Why is over half of your inventory filled with crap for me?"
"Well it's not like I have anything I would need to store in there after all. Plus, I find it quite enjoyable to be able to provide you with a drink and even a wheelchair when you need it." Nan Tian chuckled.
"That's true." Shiro chuckled.
Receiving the hot chocolate, Shiro let her hand get heated up by the mug since it was quite warm.
By the time she took a sip, the hot chocolate had been cooled by her passive skill.
".. . Now that I think about it, I can't feel the cold but my hands are freezing aren't they?"
"A little. But it's not that bad." Nan Tian chuckled, making a new hot chocolate for her.
"Ah it's fine I can just reheat this one." Shiro waved her hand as she snapped her finger and a rune appeared on the mug.
Drinking a warm cup of hot chocolate, Shiro handed the mug back to Nan Tian.
"Say do you think I'm worrying too much? When I saw that the connection between me and Lisandra getting cut off, I felt like she was going to disappear on me like what happened to Isilia." Shiro asked with a small smile.
"It's only natural for you to worry. However, I suppose you should have more trust in their capabilities."
"Perhaps."
Closing her eyes, Shiro relaxed on the chair when she noticed a few scouts coming closer to her zone.
Narrowing her eyes, she enlarged the screen and saw a few skeletons.
'Misu.' She thought with a small smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
With the zone now captured, Shiro decided to focus on reinforcing their defences for now. The event will last for a week so there is no need to be hasty.
The best move for them is probably to just hang back and watch everyone battle it out. Plus, it would also allow her to gather some information on the other Queens.
