These many unique resources of Sky City are considered as the first batch of compensation, and one-tenth of the total output will be given every subsequent year.

Is this compensation?

This is tribute!

Archangel Gold said angrily: "Marquis of Falling Star, we are here to talk about compensation with enough sincerity this time. If you talk like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue talking."

Luke smiled and said: "Negotiation means you set your price, and I set mine. If we can't reach an agreement, we will take a step back. In short, the compensation provided by Sky City is far from what we expected."

The Moonlight Court has reunited the remnants of the World Tree. For thousands of years, they have been isolated from the mainstream world because of the destruction of the World Tree. As the embodiment of justice, Sky City should feel guilty."

Archangel Gold calmed down a little and said: "Sky City will add 50% to the donated resources. In addition, we can give away ten tons of gold."

Of course Luke was not satisfied. He felt that Sky City needed to be squeezed out a little more.

Qingkong said at this time: "That's it for today's meeting. I have a secret lesson that needs to be taught. Please ask Archangel Gold to report our demands to the Sky City Archangel Conference. If you are really sincere, then

Make me feel it.

I hope that next time we meet, I can feel the angel's true repentance, rather than compensation in name but humiliation in reality.

Jennifer, send them out!"

"Yes, Miss Clear Sky." Jennifer turned to Archangel Gold and Luke and said, "Archangel, Lord Marquis, please come back!"

Luke stood up and walked out.

Archangel Gold did not expect that the first meeting would end so hastily. Seeing that Luke had already walked out, he had no choice but to salute to the clear sky with a crown of thorns before leaving.

Sitting on the carriage on the way back, Luke complained: "I have made it very obvious that the compensation provided by Sky City is far from what we expected. In the end, you only increased it by 50%."

"There are still ten tons of gold!" Archangel Gold reminded.

"Ten tons of gold!" Luke smiled sarcastically and took out a Reichsmark from his pocket: "The Empire has banned the circulation of precious metal currencies, and most countries in the world are popularizing banknotes. The value of ten tons of gold, made by the Empire

The currency bureau can print it in one night."

Archangel Gold looked at the banknote in Luke's hand and asked doubtfully: "Since this kind of banknote can be printed casually, how can it have such a high value?"

"This starts with..." Luke wanted to talk about the role of banknotes in national governance and economy, but he quickly reacted: "You won't understand it right away. Now we are talking about compensation... In this meeting,

I have tried my best. When you go back, discuss with the other archangels what to discuss in the next meeting. The more prepared you are, don't let Queen Clear Sky lose the desire to continue the conversation after just a few words."

Archangel Gold asked: "When is the next meeting?"

"Wait for my notice..." Luke looked out the window of the carriage: "Tonight, Her Majesty the Queen of Clear Skies is going to meet with the shepherd elder of the Shuojin people. Tomorrow I have to go back to Raging Waves City, which is expected to take five to ten days.

return.

Let’s make an appointment then.”

"Her Majesty Queen Qingkong is going to meet with the Shuojin people's shepherd elder tonight?"

"Yes! The Shuojin people are very eager to compensate for the destruction of the World Tree. They will set up a World Bank branch in the Moonlight Palace and bring in a very considerable investment, which is enough to bring the ancestors' grassland from wilderness to modern civilization.

The sincerity of Shuojin people is more sincere than that of Sky City."

Luke plays Gold Archangel.

Archangel Gold was indeed very nervous.

He knew that the purpose of opening the World Bank branch in the Moonlight Palace by the Shuojin people must also be to get close to the World Tree and find a way to turn the World Tree into an artifact.

The earlier you research, the more hope you have of getting an exclusive artifact.

Today, I have wasted an opportunity, and as a result, my next meeting with the Queen of the Clear Sky has been delayed for many days.

If the temple is not confirmed to be built in the Moonlight Court, Sky City will become extremely passive in obtaining artifacts.

"Can't you arrange my second meeting with Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky as soon as possible?"

Luke said helplessly: "I think so too, but the empire is at war. The fleet of Raging Waves City will go north along the coast to compete with the Allied Navy of Art County for sea control, and the army formed by Raging Waves City will also go overland to the north to participate in the war.

As the governor of Raging Waves City, I must meet with my soldiers, and I may not be able to meet them next time."

The war reminded Archangel Gold of some bad memories.

"Yes, we may not be able to see you next time. I wish the Marquis a smooth trip to Raging Wave City, and I hope you can return to Shenglun City as soon as possible."

At this time, Jiji Huaguan, who had been silent, said: "Marquis, Lord Marquis...can you please intercede with Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky and return my angel wings to me.

I have realized my mistake and deeply apologize for offending Her Majesty the Queen."

There is some sincerity in these words of Thorn Crown.

Qingkong beat him away from his arrogance, and the destruction of the sacred artifacts of faith calmed his fervent heart. This time he completely let go of his attitude and apologized to Qingkong, which in turn allowed him to unload the burden he had been carrying before.

An enlightenment made him think through many things.

Archangel Gold also interceded for Thorn Crown: "Can you persuade Her Majesty the Queen of the Clear Sky to change to other punishments? Angel wings are too important to an angel!"

"Yes." Luke agreed: "But as far as I know, the Queen of Clear Skies has planned several important experiments for the angel wings. After the experiments, she won't have much use for keeping the angel wings."

Thorn Huaguan asked eagerly: "Will the experiment hurt my angel wings?"

"This...I don't know. Maybe you will suffer some damage, maybe you will become stronger. If you are willing to be a volunteer for human experiments, the chance of success of the experiment will be greater."

Archangel Gold asked: "What experiment was it?"

"Keep it secret!" Luke asked the Crown of Thorns, "What is your choice? Help the Queen of Clear Skies complete the experiment. The Queen may reinstall the stronger angel wings on you when she is happy.

Of course, all experiments are dangerous, and your safety cannot be guaranteed."

Clear Sky's strongest form can give birth to angel light wings, which can be upgraded to Blazing Sky Wings. However, Luke traveled to this world before he could advance Clear Sky's angel light wings.

According to the manufacturing process of the Blazing Wings collected by Luke, the production of the Blazing Wings must be completed first. This is to intensify the sacred energy of the angel wings to completely burn the angel feathers, forming immortal holy flames.

Then the angel light wings are dyed through a ritual, and finally a large-scale holy flame is released into the sky. As long as the sky is successfully dyed, the Blazing Sky Wings are completed.

There is no end to the enhancement of the characters in the Anno game. At first, Luke planned to make Blazing Wings for Qingkong to welcome the new version update. Now Luke is going to make Blazing Wings for Qingkong to welcome the early arrival of the five ancient civilizations.

There is a certain chance of failure in the production of the Blazing Wings. If the owner of the angel wings is willing to participate in the production, the success rate can be increased. If the Crown of Thorns is willing to take risks and participate in the experiment, the Blazing Wings can be awarded to him as a reward.

Thorn Huaguan didn't think too much: "I am willing to participate in the experiment. I can do anything for the angel wings."

Luke reminded: "You are a volunteer for human experiments. Neither I nor Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky forced you. You are voluntary."

"I volunteered."

Luke said to Archangel Gold: "You heard... the crown of thorns will be given to Queen Clear Sky for a while."

Archangel Gold didn't know what kind of experiment Qingkong was doing, and he actually wanted to use angel wings. This was not a good thing for Sky City. If Thorn Crown participated in the experiment, maybe he could get some news.

"Okay, I allow Thorn Crown to participate in Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky's experiments."

Luke stopped the carriage and said to Thorn Crown: "Go to the Clear Sky Museum by yourself. Show your intention, put away your angelic arrogance, and do whatever the Queen asks you to do."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Thorn Huaguan opened the door, jumped out of the carriage, and ran towards the Clear Sky Museum.

The carriage restarts.

Archangel Gold warned: "I hope you will not do anything that will harm Sky City."

"Of course not! And...if the experiment succeeds, it will be a good thing for Sky City. In the future, any angel who wants to increase his strength or change the style of his angel wings can come to the Queen of Clear Sky."

"This doesn't seem like a good thing."

"Believe me, it's a good thing."

Luke sent Archangel Gold back to the palace, and then returned to his mansion to prepare for the dinner.

Unlike the angel's secret visit to Clear Sky, this meeting between Sparkling Man and Queen Clear Sky was public.

Not only will the entire Shuojin delegation attend the dinner, but many officials from the imperial court will also come.

This was the first banquet held by Meteorite since he moved into this house. The dignitaries in the entire imperial capital tried their best to get invitations to get to know the new powerful official of the empire.

In the evening, there was a lot of traffic outside the Marquis Nutao's mansion, and there was an endless stream of guests coming to the banquet.

The entire Marquis Mansion was brightly lit inside and outside, and the number of imperial agents had increased several times to protect the safety here.

The identity of everyone who entered the Marquis Mansion was carefully checked, and many people who tried to sneak in with forged documents were discovered.

A freight truck was parked on the side of the road one block away from the Marquis House of Raging Waves, with several heavily armed people hiding in the truck.

Under the dim light, the leader is the nightingale.

After the rhythmic knocking, a thin man wearing a felt hat opened the carriage door and jumped in quickly.

"Miss Nightingale, there are imperial spies everywhere around the Marquis Mansion of Meteorite. They check the documents very carefully, so it is difficult for us to sneak in.

Not to mention assassinating the meteor under heavy protection."

Nightingale sat in the innermost part of the carriage, polishing the dagger in her hand with a grindstone.

"The Secret Service usually protects the meteor more closely. It will be difficult to have a better opportunity than tonight. Only by killing the meteor will Prince Alec have a chance to come back."

"But we did not receive a direct order from Prince Alec."

Nightingale waved her hand, and the dagger stopped in front of the man's eyes after a flash of lightning: "Do you suspect that I faked an order from Prince Alec? Can a prince personally issue such an order?

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here ]

Regardless of success or failure, this assassination has nothing to do with Prince Alec, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Facing the dagger that almost touched his eyeball, the man replied fearfully.

"Do you all understand?"

"Understood!" everyone replied.

Nightingale stretched out her hand, and the electric chain pulled the dagger back into her hand.

She relaxed her tone and explained to the assassins of her organization: "Someone in the palace sent news to Prince Alec. His Majesty may have passed away. The Queen's supervision of the country is most likely a joint act of stealing the country by the Queen, Meteor, and Agatha.

The person sitting on the throne should be His Highness, our loyal Highness, but His Highness is trapped in the Crescent Oasis.

As long as we kill Meteor Star, the official system of Raging Wave City will collapse, and the queen will have no support. The ministers of the palace will welcome His Highness back to the imperial capital, and our Highness will be the emperor of the empire.

And we will all be named nobles, and even if we die, the nobles will be inherited by our families."

All the assassins said together: "I am willing to die for His Highness Prince Alec!"

"Very good!" Nightingale was happy for the high morale: "The Marquis Mansion is well-defended, but it can't trouble us. There are many people going to the banquet tonight, and we can grab the official invitation. The difficult part is how to get close to the meteor.

, and delivered a fatal blow.

I have a plan..."

Nightingale took out a topographic map of the Marquis of Raging Waves Mansion, and the assassins gathered forward in a circle, waiting for Nightingale to assign the task.

But Nightingale noticed something strange. She quickly scanned everyone's faces, frowned and said, "Why is there an extra person?"

Are there many people?

The assassins looked at each other and realized something was wrong.

How did eight people become nine?

But when they made a careful identification, they found... they had no idea who the extra one was. All the faces were familiar, and they were all assassins personally selected by Nightingale.

No duplication!

How can this be.

If someone is pretending to be one of these people, there should be two identical faces.

But why is it that there is clearly an extra person, and that person is right in front of me, but I don’t know who it is.

Mental impact!

Nightingale stretched out her dagger and put it on the neck of the man on her right, and said: "An outsider has sneaked in, and he has exerted a mental influence on us, making us unable to see him clearly. Everyone, control the people at your hand, and we will take care of him together.

He found it."

When the assassins heard this, they immediately drew their weapons and put them against the throats of their companions on the right.

Nightingale recited a mental strengthening spell in an attempt to free herself from the mental influence. She closed her eyes and opened them again... there were still nine people, and no matter how they identified them, she couldn't distinguish the extra person.

Who is the extra one?

"I ask questions and you answer them. I know who is right and who is wrong. Starting from Xi Ke..."

The Nightingale asked each person a question and received the correct answer.

How can this be!

At this time someone said: "Miss Nightingale, why did you only ask seven questions?"

"Did I only ask seven questions?" Nightingale's expression became even more nervous: "I obviously asked all of you one by one, without missing any one."

"Miss Nightingale, I checked and found that you really only asked seven questions."

"Yes, Miss Nightingale, I also checked, and only seven questions were asked."

Nightingale asked: "Who of the people you control has not answered?"
