The Abyss mages lurking in the imperial capital were eliminated, which was a major victory for the war the empire was facing.

As the investigation deepened, the crimes committed by the Abyss Master and the assassination plan being prepared were discovered, making the shock caused by this incident even more intense.

There is also information revealed by the joint operation of the Imperial Secret Service's Secret Service Sixth Division and the Fourth Division of the City Guards; the Crusader Engineering Research Institute was sealed, and evidence of the infiltration of the Abyss Mage was found inside.

The things behind the various signs are enough for all the staff and think tanks in the imperial capital to think about for days and nights.

Soon the second prince Alec announced after another visit from the eldest princess that he would go to the west to preside over the bandit suppression campaign.

Agatha told Alec that she could not fully control the meteorite. The meteorite was so close to Fania this time, which made Alec realize that he was at an absolute disadvantage in the fight for the crown prince.

Even if he is now in the imperial capital, once a huge change occurs in the palace, he will not have the strength to confront Fania, who has both military power and the city of Raging Waves. Only by going to the west now and training an army loyal to him can he possibly succeed in Aga

With the help of Shah, he continued to fight for the reserve.

However, the cabinet representing the Crusaders was surprisingly calm. They did not express their position because of the destruction of the Crusaders Research Institute, and allowed the city garrison to continue to occupy the Tiemenli Armor Factory.

The eldest prince Fania also did not put pressure on the cabinet on the issue of the Abyss Mage.

Both parties had a tacit understanding that this was a hindrance set by Meteor to Fania in this great achievement, preventing him from receiving full credit.

The cabinet needs the continued trust of the future new imperial emperor, and Fania also needs the stability of the imperial court in his hands.

Therefore, apart from the Celtic Archduke, the only one injured was Augustine the Great.

He wanted to get the way to immortality from Morris... Morris was dead.

He wanted to gain immortality through the secret of eternal life... The Crusader Research Institute was closed down, and Dr. Elvis, who was in charge of the experiment, became the Abyss Mage and died.

Even the relevant experiments at the Extraordinary Creature Cultivation Center were sabotaged by unknown persons.

Emperor Augustine became haggard. No one in this huge empire wanted to see his life span extended. He used to think so just to laugh at himself, but reality told him... it was all true.

He is the emperor of the empire and one of the most powerful people in the world, but he faces an extremely cruel and cold court.

Augustine sat on a chair. No matter how bright the stove burning in front of him was, it could not warm his body.

"Father..."

A soft cry made Emperor Augustine's heart feel warm. He looked at his daughter who walked into the room, and his eyes couldn't help but have a soft look.

"Del!" Augustine stood up. He took Princess Del's hand and asked her to sit next to him. He looked at the daughter who had been missing for many days and said softly: "I thought I would never see her again.

I can't see you anymore... Just come back and forget those terrible things. I will never allow you to be bullied again.

You must have suffered a lot these days."

Dai'er felt that her father seemed to be a different person today, no longer the father who made her even dare not breathe.

"I didn't suffer too much. After I was attacked and kidnapped, Miss Qingkong and Governor Meteor quickly rescued me. Because they didn't know who the attacker was, Miss Qingkong asked me to make up and look like someone from Oulu Academy.

student, living in her museum..."

Dai'er said what she had agreed with Qingkong.

If she said she escaped on her own, she would definitely be "protected" tightly in the palace.

After listening to Dai'er's story, Emperor Augustine nodded slightly: "No wonder Meteorite was able to find the Abyss Temple so quickly. It turns out that he had rescued you a long time ago. Fortunately, you were saved by him. If you fell into the hands of the Abyss Temple,

I really don’t know how they will treat you.”

Augustine thought of the information he had seen and couldn't imagine what would happen to Del after being sent there.

The emotions towards the meteorite in my heart were inevitably washed away a lot.

Dai'er didn't know what kind of turmoil the meteorite's actions had caused in the palace. Seeing that her father was in a good mood, she said: "Father, during the time I was in the museum, I learned a lot of interesting things from Miss Qingkong.

thing.

Moreover, taking classes and doing experiments together with classmates is much more interesting than studying in the palace.

I...can I continue to stay in Miss Qingkong's museum? Miss Qingkong is the most knowledgeable scholar I have ever met."

Dai'er looked at Emperor Augustine expectantly.

Emperor Augustine also looked at his youngest daughter, who looked so much like her deceased mother.

"It seems that you like Miss Qingkong very much. What kind of person is she...no, what kind of elf is she."

Talking about Qingkong, Dai'er's eyes couldn't help but shine with admiration.

“Miss Qingkong’s secret arts class is so exciting that it can only be described as fantasy. I don’t know how she can have so many secret arts, and some of them are even purely performance-based.

She can create starry skies in class, and can easily present the sea and mountains in front of us. I have also seen her use dragon scales to make mysterious props. Professor Ben said that Miss Qingkong has killed a dragon..."

Dale talked happily, telling Augustine about the other side of the clear sky.

Augustine listened quietly and looked at this mysterious and powerful elf from Del's perspective.

In the end, Daier actually begged Augustine in a coquettish tone: "Father, please let me go to Miss Qingkong's museum to study. Miss Qingkong will definitely be able to protect me."

Del held Augustine's hand and shook it. When she realized that her action was excessive, she immediately let go of her hand.

Augustine's expression also flickered, and the moment he felt Del let go, his heart also felt empty.

But he still thought seriously about Dai'er's proposal.

If Dai'er is really close to Qingkong, it will be a good thing for the empire. Qingkong's military force is a strategic deterrent at the national level. As a princess, having a good relationship with Dai'er is equivalent to binding a bond with the royal family.

A super powerful person.

"Okay... Since Qingkong has been designated as the successor by Dean Willred, he must have very rich knowledge. Being able to receive her personal guidance will greatly improve you."

After receiving the agreement, Dai'er was so happy that she almost forgot her princess manners and jumped up from her chair.

"Really? Thank you, Father!"

Del's innocence infected Augustine, who was somewhat reluctant to marry her to the meteor.

But he soon put aside the short-term warmth and returned himself to the identity of the emperor of the empire.

"Yue Xing deserves a lot of credit for your safe return this time. I have always intended for you to marry him, so you must be mentally prepared..."

Dai'er had known for a long time that her father wanted to marry her to the meteor. This time he formally mentioned it to her, which made Dai'er look confused.

Scenes of what happened during the time she spent with the meteorite emerged before her eyes.

Looking at Dai'er who was stunned, Augustine thought that she was unwilling, so he said half-persuading and half-commanding: "You are a royal princess and you must shoulder the responsibilities of a royal princess. Meteorite is a very talented person. He has such control at such a young age."

After entering Nutau City, he was still able to have a good time in the palace. In the future, he would definitely be able to join the cabinet and become the chief minister of the imperial court.

If this person is used well, the empire can continue to prosper.

If he causes trouble... none of your brothers can be his opponent.

If you marry him, and I will give him the supreme honor, I can put a rein on him and make him loyal to the empire wholeheartedly.

Do you understand?"

"I..." Dai'er didn't know how to answer. She didn't hate Meteor, but it was far from the level of admiration. She didn't want to become a tool of imperial politics like her married sisters. She wanted to escape and pursue her own freedom.

Think beautiful things.

But what my father said was right, and sister Agatha was right...the princess of the empire must make sacrifices for the empire.

Looking at the helpless Dai'er, Emperor Augustine couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.

"You should think about it carefully... I also need to observe the meteorites again."

"Yes, Father... If there is nothing else, I will retire."

"Go back and have a good rest." When Dai'er stood up and saluted and was about to leave, Emperor Augustine couldn't help but added: "Come to my place and chat with me when you have time... Your brothers and sisters are too busy with their affairs and rarely do anything.

Come to see me on your own initiative."

"Yes, Father, I will visit you often."

After watching Del leave the room, Emperor Augustine looked at the stove again. He tightened the fleece blanket around him, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But while the imperial court was in turmoil, Meteor stayed away from the disputes and stayed in the Sixth Secret Service, never coming out and not seeing any visitors.

Luke transformed into a businessman from Raging Wave City and returned to the Lower City. After picking up Alice, he asked Quick Legs to drive to Malcolm's Paranormal Species Research Institute.

Along the way, traces of the battle can be seen everywhere. Some corpses were not buried, and their faces were completely deformed after being eaten by wild dogs.

There seemed to be a lot less people.

Alice sat very reservedly next to Luke. Even if she didn't see Mrs. Moli Xiang, she didn't dare to make any intimate gestures to Luke.

She thought she had seen the madness in downtown, but it was only during the time that Mr. Luke left that she knew what real madness was.

All the people in the lower city are really going crazy, and killings are filled throughout the day and night. As an intelligence broker, the most news Alice receives every day is that so and so is dead, and so and so is dead.

Those famous elders who hung out in Xiacheng District turned into corpses in the blink of an eye.

The fight over the sewage reservoir made both sides red-blooded and affected the entire Xiacheng District. The person who caused all this was the young man with a kind temperament next to him.

Alice reported to Luke the recent situation in the lower city.

With the money in his hands and the first-generation mysterious substance mixed with potions, Old Adrian withstood the siege of the other four alchemy factories in the early stages of the battle.

Then, with the addition of elite thugs and money bribes, Old Adrian gradually shifted from defense to offense.

During this period, Luke's funding and the secret support of the Malcolm Research Institute for Paranormal Species made Old Adrian stronger and stronger.

Now only three of the original four alchemy factories are left, and after being beaten up not long ago, they can only survive.

It was Luke who promptly stopped the final occupation war launched by old Adrian and asked Malcolm to intervene. This time he went to Malcolm's research institute to prepare for the sewage reservoir peace talks.

Old Adrian's family cannot be allowed to dominate.

After hearing this, Luke did not forget to praise Alice: "You did a good job this time. Once the incident is over and the city is stabilized again, you will be my spokesperson here and be responsible for mediating the conflicts between the parties."

Alice knew that with Luke's status, it was impossible to stay in the downtown area and do everything himself. Being able to become his spokesman was equivalent to getting a golden job and becoming a powerful figure in the downtown area.

"Thank you Mr. Luke for your trust in me. I will definitely help you mediate all parties in Xiacheng District and let them make good money for you."

"Hahaha..." Luke couldn't help laughing. If it weren't for Alice's reminder, he would have forgotten about making money: "Yes, let them make money for me!"

The car drove to Malcolm's Institute for Extraordinary Species.

Compared with the last time I came here, a lot of reinforcements have been made here. The high-walled compound and the number of guards have also increased a lot.

The chaos in Xiacheng District during this period also gave Malcolm a strong sense of crisis.

The person who greeted Luke and his party was the black panther Monis. He saluted Luke respectfully and said: "Mr. Luke, my master is conducting an experiment and I am unable to greet you in person. Please forgive me.

Please go to the reception room later, the master's experiment will be over soon."

Luke followed Black Panther Monis into the institute and asked, "Malken said he lost something very important last time. Has he found it now?"

The Black Panther answered while leading the way: "No... this is the lower city, and lost things can be easily found. Fortunately, the investment brought by Mr. Luke allows the owner to carry out many research projects, and will not be angry about that thing all the time."

.

Didn't Mrs. Jasmine come this time?"

Luke replied: "A lot of things happened in St. Lun City during this period, and abyss mages and spies were being caught everywhere. The Imperial City was relatively safe, so I asked my wife to continue to stay in the hotel.

Anyway, things won’t take long here, and my business here will be up and running soon.”

Black Panther Monis can feel the changes taking place in the Lower City. After the negotiation, Mr. Luke will become the underground emperor of the Lower City.

"My master attaches great importance to your cooperation with Mr. Luke, please..."

Luke was drinking tea and waiting in the living room. Not long after, Malcolm walked in excitedly.

He was still wearing a lab coat. When he entered the door, he asked his assistant to spray disinfectant on his body and took off the lab coat.

Then he picked up a small leather nest from the arms of another assistant. There was a little white guy squirming in the small nest.

Malcolm came over and showed Luke what he had in his arms.

It was a little puppy with pure white fur and a pair of small, fluffy wings on its back.

"Mr. Luke, your arrival has also brought me good luck. Today's experiment went surprisingly well. I completed the genetic sequencing of the first extraordinary pet. Soon the healthy and tame flying dog will be able to enter the city of Raging Waves.
Chapter completed!
