Chapter 34 Luke's Abacus

Alec had met Meteor very late and was extremely curious about what happened in Raging Waves City. He wanted to know how he could complete control of the city in such a short period of time.

It's just that Luke didn't come here to show off his "contributions" in Raging Wave City, and it was inconvenient to reveal some details to Alec, so he didn't give the second prince face.

"Your Highness, everything I did in Raging Waves City was carried out in accordance with the orders of the eldest princess. I don't know the reasons for many of the things that happened. I will do whatever Her Highness the eldest princess asks me to do. When I wake up myself

, this was the situation.

I'm just lucky, anyone else who goes to Raging Wave City will have the same result."

Luke blames everything on Agatha.

But this excuse cannot deceive Alec. The fundamental reason for the great changes in Raging Wave City is that Meteor has created and grasped opportunities time and time again. Creating opportunities and seizing opportunities are fleeting. It is impossible for Meteor in Raging City to ask Ah everything.

Gaza.

And there are many signs that Meteor has done something beyond the tasks Agatha gave him. Taking full control of Raging Waves City and angering Emperor Augustine is not something Agatha dares to do.

It was the meteor that pushed Agatha to take a step forward, forcing Emperor Augustine to regard Agatha as a competitor for the crown prince, and he had an option in his mind that he did not want to choose.

Very ambitious, very courageous, and very capable.

And very young.

This is the general evaluation of Meteorite by the entire court. If he is taken under his command and trained, he will definitely become one of his arms in the future.

In order to get the meteor, Emperor Augustine planned to let Princess Daier marry him.

In order to control the meteor, Agatha did not hesitate...

In order to win over Yue Xing, the eldest prince sent his only son to condescend to Secret Service No. 6 and take the initiative to make friends with him.

Of course Alec wants to grab the talent that everyone is grabbing for.

In response to Luke's neither soft nor firm rejection, Alec was very generous. He laughed and said, "I know you are loyal to Agatha, and even my father appreciates your loyalty very much. You don't want to talk about Rage."

I won't ask about the city.

Is there anything special about you and Sinclair suddenly coming to my place?"

At this moment the nightingale came down from upstairs.

She wore a cyan silk lining, and a set of dark red leather armor flowing with magical energy on the outside. Her sky-blue hair was pulled into a bun popular among women from wealthy families, and her appearance was beautiful and had the aura of having seen all kinds of things in the world.

The weapons are two short swords on both sides of the waist, and several daggers inserted in the leather sheaths on the back waist and calf sides.

Ranger is a profession that is mostly passed down from father to son in the family. The main job is to travel while accepting some missions to exterminate monsters.

In the past, the rangers were at the bottom of society. They had no skills and could only work hard. But as the world entered a new era, the rise of new aristocrats made many small farmers and old aristocratic squires bankrupt. These small aristocratic squires, and their subordinates who vassed them, flowed to the lower classes, and many

Joined the ranks of rangers with his family's magical martial arts skills.

Nightingale is such a ranger. Her father is a well-known knight in a remote town. He has ten households of serfs and a mill. Although his income is not much, it is decent and he is a respected knight.

master.

But after the industrially produced flour rushed into this remote town, Nightingale's family went bankrupt with no way to fight back. The knight couldn't figure out why the flour sold outside was cheaper than the wheat grown at home, and finally died in depression.

The property and mill were sold to pay off debts, and a good family was shattered.

In order to make a living, Nightingale could only pick up the sword and become a ranger. Her inner self-esteem made her never tell outsiders her real name.

With her strong strength and beauty, Nightingale quickly became a well-known ranger. She came to the imperial capital to look for opportunities to make money, and then met Prince Alec.

Nightingale walked behind Alec. The eyes that had been staring at her since she came downstairs made her feel very uncomfortable. She pulled out a dagger from her waist and threw it at Sinclair. The dagger made an electric sound.

, flying through a package of blue electric flowers, shattering the wine glass in Sinclair's hand with one blow.

Red wine was sprinkled all over Sinclair, and the dagger with electric light stopped in front of Sinclair's nose.

Sinclair didn't move at all during the whole process. He stayed there as if he was stunned.

Nightingale waved her hand, and an electric chain pulled the dagger back. She accurately grabbed the dagger and inserted it into the leather sheath on her lower back.

Bang bang bang!

Sinclair clapped his hands: "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful person, and good at throwing daggers. I really envy my uncle and Governor Meteor... You have capable beauties accompanying you every day, while I see you all day long in the North."

All are men.

Uncle, give me your beauty, and I will give you a manor in exchange for it!"

Hearing Sinclair compare himself to an object, Nightingale wanted to give him some more colors to see.

At this time Luke said: "Miss Nightingale, you just didn't know that that was His Highness Sinclair, we can forgive your ignorance. Now that His Highness has revealed his relationship with His Highness the Second Prince, if she makes any dangerous move again, the Empire's

There is a place for you on the gallows."

Nightingale stretched out her hand on her lower back but failed to pull out the dagger. She looked at Luke and couldn't figure out how he could call her by her name when they first met.

"Nightingale, Nightingale..." Sinclair tasted the name with great interest, and complained to Luke: "Governor, why did you stop Miss Nightingale? The electric current just now made me feel like I was in love.

I want to be shocked again!

By the way, I’ll answer uncle’s question just now. We came to you to find Aunt Dai’er..."

Sinclair's last words instantly silenced the hall.

Alec's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "I have nothing to do with the case of attacking Dai'er. You came to me to look for Dai'er, but you are looking in the wrong place.

Governor Meteor, I need an explanation."

Luke smiled and said: "Your Highness, Second Prince, don't be nervous. Your Highness, Sinclair, is just joking. How can we come to you to find Princess Dai'er without evidence?"

I just want to learn more about Princess Dai'er from you this time so that I can rescue her as soon as possible. Also... I am very interested in the collection in your manor and want to visit it for both public and private purposes. You can send someone to follow me to create exhibits.

Introduction.”

Luke's explanation did not ease Alec's expression in any way.

As soon as Meteorite arrived in the imperial capital, he reached a certain degree of reconciliation with the new aristocratic forces headed by Gabriel, the chief assistant. There are also signs that Meteorite and Gabriel were behind the civil war in the empire.

Meteor and Sinclair came together today, and they sang together and looked like they were working together. Could it be that he and the eldest prince had reached some kind of tacit understanding?

Yue Xing disclosed the case to the public that was related to the royal family's reputation. He had to solve the case and give everyone an explanation.

If Agatha, Fania, and the cabinet want to use the hands of the meteor to put this pot on my head...

Just thinking about this made Alec shudder.

These damn guys, when you see your father handing over the southern front to Fania, you turn to him and want to join forces to kick me out!

"Good, very good, very good!" Alec gritted his teeth and praised: "Agatha gave you this case, it is really wonderful. Passive turns to active, manipulating public opinion to attack and defend... Who are you running to?

At home, everyone will be shorter than you.

But have you ever thought that if they push you to take the lead, you will eventually die miserably."

Luke smiled and said: "Your Highness, why can't I understand what you are saying! Who pushed me to take the lead? What is manipulating public opinion to change the situation?

You are Princess Dai'er's brother, and I am in charge of this case. Isn't it normal to ask you to find out about Princess Dai'er's situation?

What are you nervous about?"

Forced by the situation, Alec had to bow his head even though he was the second prince.

They can investigate if they want, and send people to follow them closely to prevent frame-up. Anyway, they didn't do it themselves, so they don't have to worry about them investigating it openly.

Covering up will give them an excuse to make a fuss.

Alec glanced at Sinclair, who was sitting aside with a harmless look on his face, and then said to Meteor: "You can ask, but the age gap between Del and I is a bit big, and I don't know her very well. The collection here, you

You can look at it as you like, and I’ll give it to you if you like it.”

What Luke was waiting for was the last word.

Then Luke asked a few random questions related to Dale's life. Although Alec felt uncomfortable, he still answered truthfully.

When Luke said that he had no problem and wanted to visit the manor, Alec excused himself as feeling unwell and wanted to go back to his room to rest, and asked Nightingale to accompany the two of them on the tour.

Luke and Sinclair walked around the manor openly.

The accompanying Nightingale noticed the clothes on Sinclair's body. The red wine that had just been spilled did not stick to his clothes, but was isolated by an invisible force field. After Sinclair stood up, the red wine that had just been spilled did not stick to his clothes.

All the wine dripped onto the ground.

Nightingale said to Sinclair: "It seems that even if my dagger really stabs you, it won't be able to hurt you."

Sinclair still looked cynical: "I have been fighting in the North for several years. If I were injured by your attack of this level, I would have died several times.

Why are you so close to my uncle?"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince loves me."

"Don't look at the joke!" Sinclair laughed: "This uncle of mine is more fond of the new than me, and I would not say to a woman: I want to marry you, but my status prevents me from making the decision on my own marriage.

.”

Nightingale said openly: "You know His Highness the Second Prince very well."

"Of course I understand. We had a very good relationship before. He gave me the woman who made me a man. I miss that time very much. We were like brothers."

Hearing these words finally moved Nightingale: "It really opened my eyes! It's amazing!"

"Then leave him."

"Leaving him, with you? That just makes me sick."

"It's really disgusting." Luke couldn't help but said: "Sinclair, don't show off the chaotic relationship between your royal family. Let's see what this is..."

Sinclair raised his eyes provocatively at Nightingale, and then came to Luke's side.

There is a square crystal inside the wooden-framed glass showcase. In the middle of the crystal is a colorful ball of light that beats like a heart. Every time the ball of light beats, the crystal splits into tiny squares and completes one rotation like a Rubik's Cube.

Sinclair looked at the changing Crystal Rubik's Cube and said: "The Magic Energy Difference Engine can be used for mathematics, magic energy structure, and alchemical reaction program calculations. It is a very good academic research auxiliary alchemy tool.

Some advanced research institutes and large colleges have their own magic energy difference machines, is there anything special about this?"

"It's nothing special..." Of course Luke knew the Magic Energy Difference Machine. He wanted to attract Nightingale's attention: "It is very difficult to make a Magic Energy Difference Machine. Even Oulu Academy does not have many Magic Energy Difference Machines.

The last time I met Miss Qingkong, she complained to me that her branch did not have a magic energy difference machine, and many experimental simulations and verifications required data to be sent back to our hospital. Not only was it very troublesome to go back and forth, but it was also prone to errors.

However, according to the current scale of the branch, Dean Wilred has never had the idea of ​​​​distributing a set of magic energy difference machines, which gives Miss Qingkong a headache.

When I saw this magic energy difference machine, I couldn't help but think of Miss Qingkong. She helped me and Her Royal Highness the Princess a lot in Raging Wave City. I want to buy a magic energy difference machine and give it to her as a thank you gift.

But you know...this thing can't be bought with money."

How could Sinclair not hear Luke's subtext? He said very cooperatively: "Uncle, it's a waste to put such a good magic difference machine here for display. If I can give it to Miss Qingkong, I will definitely get it."

Miss Qingkong’s favor.”

"I think so..."

Luke did not stop next to the Magic Difference Machine and walked to the next exhibit.

The nightingale immediately summoned an attendant who followed him. After whispering, the attendant hurried away.
