//------------------------------// // chapter 4.2（Early Translate） // Story: My little pony:Adventure of Seresia // by Dreamy //------------------------------// "My queen, right now we can only hide here for the time being, I'll help you deal with Twilight when we are safe." Everfree Forest, a place where regular foals would never set foot easily, no matter day or night, this place was always permeated with an aura that made foals tremble with fear, and if there were no foals familiar with this place to lead the way, they would easily get lost in it. But this is a natural refuge for those who do not care about it. At this time, Chrysalis is following the cloak pony through a lot of hard work to escape here, all the way deep into the Everfree forest, in a stream with a withered tree under the hole to hide. Chrysalis looked around at the dense bushes and the thick giant trees that seven or eight Illusory Spirits couldn't even hold over, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain in her eyes. "Although I don't know exactly what your real purpose for rescuing me is, the only thing I want to do now is to trample Twilight and her hateful friends under my hooves!!!" Chrysalis indignantly stomped off a fragile branch on the ground as if it were Twilight. "And .... I'm starving!!! I'd love to find a foal to suck his love clean out of me right now." Chrysalis kept her eyes on the cloaked colt as she said this, "But I've decided to spare your life for saving me, now get out of my sight immediately! Before I change my mind." Chrysalis let out her harsh words, but the cloaked colt didn't seem to be afraid of her intimidation. "My queen Chrysalis, if you eat me, you won't have the chance to properly enjoy that taste of victory when you defeat Twilight. I can advise you and help you get what you want." A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth under the cloak, as if he was sure of the meaning of his existence. "Why would I want to listen to a pony come and give me advice? Hmm? Or are you sent by Twilight to try to come and toughen me up, and teach me what true friendship is?!!!" A series of questions were thrown at the cloaked foal, Chrysalis snapping at every word while circling around her. "The idea of friendship is to help each other under the concept of equality, unlike in my case and yours. I will be your loyal servant, willing to commit to helping you achieve your own ends, and all I need is a small reward." The cloaked colt touched one hoof to his chest and bowed slightly in a submissive gesture. "If I were you, Queen Chrysalis, I would at least listen to the colt's advice first, and see what she has to offer that dares to talk like that." Chrysalis narrowed her eyes, realizing that this statement did not make sense, and after pondering for a moment, she said with some impatience, "Alright, I'll give you a chance, if you can't convince me, then you'll wait to be sucked dry by me!!!" The cloaked colt nodded and began to introduce to Chrysalis about the recent arrival of a group of ships from the far east to Equestria, which was a very significant diplomatic event. If Chrysalis could stir up trouble and sabotage this diplomacy, it would not only tarnish Twilight's reputation, but it could also start a war. "After you, my queen, have provoked the relationship between Twilight and the ambassador, you will then turn into another ambassador, and then use Twilight's hooves to lock up that real ambassador." "Sounds like a good note, but what's the point of doing that?" "To trick Twilight, Queen Chrysalis." "Heh heh heh~ I have lot of ways to trick Twilight, why do I have to listen to you?!" Chrysalis sneered, disdainful of this answer. "My beloved queen, if you really tricked Twilight into trusting you, then why would she still turn you into a stone statue?" The cloaked foal only spoke lightly, but made Chrysalis momentarily unsure of how to retort; after a moment of silence she said with some irritation, "I was so close! A little bit and it worked! It's all because of those so-called friends of hers! I hate them so much! That Starlight! If it wasn't for her, Equestria would have been under my rule!!!" "You are certainly powerful, My queen, but you can't be defeated alone, unless ......" "Unless what? Speak quickly!!!" "Unless you have absolute power." "Absolute power ....." Chrysalis repeated what she said. "Speaking of this absolute power, at that time, me and that big-bodied, mindless Tirek, as well as Little Cozy glow, stole that old goathead's bell spell, and then utilized it to almost defeat Twilight ...... If it wasn't for the power in the spell being split between those two fools!!!......" Speaking of which, Chrysalis put on a resigned look, she was only one step away from success, but because she was just one step away, she was sealed by Twilight. "So I'm guessing this bell you speak of, my queen, is now under the Twilight's hooves? If that's the case, that's not a bad thing." Chrysalis was surprised to hear her say that as if she was looking at a fool. "What are you talking about? How could this be a good thing!!!?" "My queen, since the bell is in Twilight's hooves, it's just a matter of finding a way to get her to tell you where she's hiding it, maybe Twilight has other power-filled spells hidden, so if you snatch them all together then, won't you be able to gain absolute power?" These words from the cloaked foal were like a wake-up call to Chrysalis, she acted as if she had come to a realization, and then laughed a few times in a wild manner. "If I can get those props hidden by Twilight, and then suck the power from them, then I'll have absolute power! No foal will be able to stop me at that time! hahahahahahahahahaha!!!" "Queen Chrysalis, right now you just recovered from the seal of the stone statue, so you must be weak." After finishing his words, the cloaked colt took out an old looking box from the corner, opened it and took out a crystal from it and delivered it to Chrysalis. "My queen, this contains some of the magical energy that I have collected, although it's not much, but it will allow you to regain some of your strength." Chrysalis looked at the crystal she handed to her, sized it up, then somewhat skeptically grabbed it with her magic and took a tentative breath. Immediately after a familiar feeling surged into her body, this crystal indeed carried some magic that could help her recover, Chrysalis no longer hesitated when she saw this, and sucked up all the remnants inside in one go, as if a foal that had been starving for many days suddenly saw a table of delicious food. Unfortunately, the energy contained in that crystal was not much, even though the cloaked colt handed over a few more, Chrysalis still felt that it was not enough. "I need more!!!" Chrysalis growled in dissatisfaction. After sucking up that last crystal, Chrysalis threw it aside. "This is all I have stored, my honorable Queen Chrysalis, if you still want more abundant energy, I'm afraid you'll have to search it from those hidden by Twilight, with my current methods I can only scrape up these for you." "Tsk ......" Chrysalis licked her lips with her tongue, looking as if she couldn't get enough. "So what do you want after telling me so much?" "To receive your favor is already the greatest reward for me, Queen Chrysalis." The cloaked colt respectfully knelt before her, "But I do have one small wish, and I would be very grateful if Queen Chrysalis would grant it to me." She looked up slightly, not looking directly into Chrysalis' eyes, but rather her eyes were flush to her chest. "Say it, as long as it's not to share power with me." Chrysalis spoke contemptuously as she looked to her hooves, fiddling with them casually, but not intending to look her in the eye. "Among those treasures in Twilight's collection, there is something called the Alicorn Amulet, it's a necklace, largely grayish-black in color, with opened wings Alicorn, and if Queen Chrysalis sees it, I wonder if she could leave it to me." "An Alicorn Amulet? It sounds like a very powerful thing, why wouldn't I keep it for myself instead of giving it to you?" Chrysalis asked as she bent down slightly and brought her face to the cloaked foal to look at her. "Because this Alicorn Amulet has a curse on it, and after wearing it you will gradually lose yourself, and Queen Chrysalis doesn't want to lose her mind when the time comes because of wearing it, and end up missing the chance to rule Equestria and dispose of Twilight once again, right?" my queen?, was silent for a moment, she was staring at the foal in front of her, but her head was thinking fast. "If you say it has a curse, what else do you need it for?" "It's just to satisfy one of my collecting fetishes~ Honorable Queen Chrysalis, this will not be a hindrance that will affect your rule over Equestria, please rest assured." "In that case ..... Then do as you wish."
