Time flew by, and six days later, the day of the coronation ceremony for the new king, Kelydla, arrived. Actually, for Freya and Euphy, after attending the aristocratic gathering and with the city lockdown lifted, they were already free to leave the capital and return to Auxerre.
The original purpose of their trip to the capital was to find a way to obtain a Law Pathway potion. This goal had long been over-accomplished—and it wasn't just a regular “over-accomplishment.” Forget a Law potion; Law Freya had literally become the king now.
The reason they hadn't left yet was because Euphy said that a coronation ceremony for a new king wasn't something you could see just anytime. Since they happened to be in the capital, why not attend it before heading back to Auxerre?
In any case, the one-week leave Freya had requested from the academy had long expired, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference.
It was like how if someone was five minutes late, they might rush to work in a frantic hurry. But if they were already three or four hours late? Then they definitely wouldn't be in a rush at all.
However, Freya said, “Euphy, you do know that the new king is just another me, right...”
Euphy nodded. “I know! That's why you're seriously amazing, Fufu. Even if you are the king's daughter, becoming the ruler of a nation in just a few days... No one would ever believe it if you told them.”
In fact, it wasn't even a matter of whether they would believe it; they would most likely think you were insane.
Euphy continued, “Anyway, Fufu, as the ordinary daughter of a duke, I'll be counting on you to pull some strings for me in the future~”
Freya muttered under her breath, “What part of you is ordinary...”
As she spoke, she looked down at a ring on her right index finger. Euphy had given it to her this morning. Naturally, it was no ordinary ring, but an extraordinary item.
She still remembered how a long time ago, when Mind Freya was slacking off, she had whined to Euphy, saying how nice it would be if they had mobile phones.
At the time, Mind Freya had just said it in passing, but Euphy had taken it to heart. And now, Euphy had actually managed to research and develop something. The result was this ring!
With just a gentle rub on the ring's surface and a small injection of spirituality, one could project their consciousness into a pure white space.
In other words, if two people used this ring at the same time, they could communicate within this pure white space.
This pure white space had only just been designed, so there was nothing inside yet. In the future, things could be added to it. It could become whatever they wanted it to be. Moreover, because everything inside was illusory, this “transformation” was extremely simple, taking only a single thought to complete.
This perfectly met all of Mind Freya's initial requirements for a mobile phone (Chapter 51)—namely, a palm-sized tool that allowed one to chat with others holding the same tool anytime and anywhere. They just had to use the rings to enter this space together, didn't they?
As for taking photos and recording videos, that was also simple. Since modifying this space was just a matter of a single thought, if Euphy wanted to share a scenery she had seen, she only needed to think about it, and it would be perfectly presented here. This was even more realistic than looking at a photo, and the same applied to videos.
The only downside was that both “photos” and “videos” could only be generated in real-time. If one person wanted to see something, the other had to construct it on the spot. This place did not have a “storage” function for the time being.
Furthermore, there were only two of these rings right now, one on Freya's hand and one on Euphy's, which meant that scrolling through videos was out of the question.
But even so, this thing was incredibly impressive. When Freya first found out about it, she was completely dazed for a long time.
Euphy said, “I just haven't figured out how to solve the storage and capacity issues yet. The capacity of this space is very limited. It feels like it would start to collapse if even a dozen people entered.”
But Freya's first reaction was, “Why do I feel like... instead of a mobile phone, this thing is more like a secret base for an extraordinary organization's meetings?”
Euphy blinked. “Huh?”
Freya said, “Euphy, make a few more of these. Then we can find a way to ‘decorate’ the inside to make it look super high-end and mysterious. Couldn't we actually start an extraordinary organization? For example... the Wheel of Destiny.”
Euphy, however, was a bit worried. “Is that really okay? The essence of this pure white space is just a dream, after all.”
Rubbing the ring instantly put the user to sleep and sent them into a collective dream. That was the mechanism behind this extraordinary item, and it was actually very simple.
Freya replied, “That's not the point. It doesn't matter if it's in a dream or anywhere else. Even if it's in a drafty, dilapidated wooden cabin, as long as the organizer is a mysterious powerhouse and the other members are also very formidable, no one will suspect anything.”
If the Wheel of Destiny were truly established, it would immediately have six initial members: Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Tarapaca, Her Highness the Saintess of the Church of the Earth, the genius Scholar Euphemia, and the incredibly formidable War Pathway and Mind Pathway extraordinaries—who still needed cool codenames—and finally, the ordinary person Freya Russell.
Thinking about it carefully, this was highly feasible!
Euphy pondered for a moment and said, “This... could actually work?”
Freya nodded. “Mhm, mhm! I'm counting on you, Euphy!”
If they really set up an extraordinary organization, there would definitely be benefits. For the most direct and simple point, remember Victor? Didn't he really want to join the Wheel of Destiny? Why turn down a free worker?
Besides, once this organization actually existed, many of the lies Freya had told before would no longer be lies. Her clones would also have a genuine connection, providing a perfectly logical explanation for resource exchanges and mutual assistance.
And on top of that, starting an extraordinary organization was just incredibly cool, wasn't it?
...
Shifting back to the present, Euphy and Freya were currently standing on the side of the street. There were many others like them, and the sides of the road were almost packed. In contrast, the middle of the road was completely empty. Before long, the royal procession carrying the new king would pass through here. The first order of business after the coronation was a parade around the city to let the citizens of the capital see what their new king looked like.
Euphy asked, “How is it? Your first coronation. Are you nervous?”
Freya replied, “It's... alright, I guess.”
After all, what “she”—or rather, Law Freya—needed to do was simply sit motionlessly in an open-topped carriage.
A moment later, a slight commotion rippled through the crowd on both sides of the street. “They're here, they're here! I see Her Majesty's procession!”
