Gregory and Simon III were both confused. They didn't know what it meant to be controlled by an illusion.

If using exercises to show elements is still within their understanding, then creating illusions is completely beyond the scope.

"She can't see us now?"

Gregory was still a little nervous and hesitantly looked at the bad woman, as if afraid that she would hear her words.

Xu Ling directly reached out and shook her eyes.

No response.

"No wonder they said it was a miracle."

Gregory finally believed in reality and muttered in a low voice.

At this time, Emperor Simon III's face finally no longer had that kind of stupid smile. Perhaps because he had been pretending to be stupid for too long, he seemed more serious than ordinary people at this time.

"We cannot speak like this here. If she was the only one in the illusion, others would be suspicious when they saw it in the distance."

Xu Ling couldn't help but look up at him. When he didn't pretend to be stupid, the emperor seemed much wiser.

It's normal. If you don't have some ability, how could you have deceived Sergei for more than ten years?

He used the illusion to trick the bad woman sent to the surveillance into the Gong Pavilion where he was resting. Several people sat down next to him, creating a scene of talking there. Even if there were other eyeliners to observe at this time, they would not notice anything unusual.

But the bad woman sitting next to her still made the emperor and his guards a little restrained, and they always looked in the direction where she sat when they spoke.

Seeing them sneaky, Xu Ling felt a little anxious to laugh and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, as long as we don't touch her and don't make too loud noises."

Hearing this, the tall and burly Gregory and Simon III, who were full of flesh, nodded vigorously.

"Major Xu, I am amazed by your strength." The emperor lowered his voice and said in a whispering tone.

“It’s over-reward.”

Xu Ling said, "Don't have to whisper so quietly..."

The emperor smiled dryly: "Time is limited, so we are not polite. Let's talk about the serious business first."

Xu Ling nodded: "Then your majesty, if possible, I have a few questions I want to ask first."

"You ask." Simon III seemed easy to talk and had no airs at all. After all, after being a puppet for so many years, he should still be very conscious.

"First of all, why did you come to us? We had just arrived at the Immortal City. Logically speaking, you should have no idea about us. Are you not afraid of being betrayed immediately?"

The first thing Xu Ling has to do is to eliminate all doubts. If both parties do not achieve complete trust, cooperation will be nonsense.

The emperor did not hesitate and replied directly: "Major, you need to understand one thing. I am not a fool. It is not just my performance that can make Sergey and the others unaware of this."

Xu Ling was a little confused, so: "What does it mean?"

"It means that I have my people, so I am hiding in the Special Affairs Department, so I don't know you at all."

"Yeah, I get it."

In fact, Xu Ling was not unaware of this. When he met Gregory for the first time, the other party said Xia Mandarin, and he was already suspicious.

But he was testing the emperor, so he did not intend to let the other party do multiple-choice or judgment questions, pretending not to know it to see if he would tell the truth.

"Then I wonder why someone is willing to work hard for you. I am bluntly speaking, you are just a puppet in the Immortal City."

This question made Gregory a little unhappy, but now is not a time to be polite. Fortunately, Simon III himself didn't care: "You need to understand one thing first. The reason why my family was able to become the Immortal City Royal Family was because at the time of the disaster, five priests appeared in the clan in a row. In order to establish the Immortal City, four of them died in the snow field."

"At that time, my great-grandfather became the first emperor, not because he was greedy for power, but because people were grateful for our contributions and actively supported him. This mentality has faded a little, but many people still believe that the royal family is the orthodox of the immortal city."

"It is precisely because of this that someone is willing to still be loyal to me in unfavorable circumstances. It is also why Sergei dared to kill me directly, and the people would not accept it."

Xu Ling nodded and agreed to the answer.

"The second question, what do you want us to do?"

"Kill Sergei and disband the parliament." The emperor's tone was so stern, and he could no longer associate it with the image of applauding in the palace.

"So, the third question, if one day you become the real emperor, what can we get?"

"Peace. I hope the snowfield is revived, you hope that mankind is revived, and our needs are not conflicting. If the abscesses in the immortal city can be removed smoothly, I am willing to cooperate with you and join the alliance."

Simon III sat upright and tried to make himself appear sincere.

Xu Ling was not satisfied with this statement: "Do you want power?"

"No."

He shook his head, "I know your goals, I deeply admire and impress them, and wait until everything is on track, and I can give up all my powers if needed."

Xu Ling was a little curious: "Then are you going to get rid of those guys Sergei just because of the hatred he has accumulated over the years?"

The emperor shook his head: "No, I have endured humiliation for more than ten years. At the beginning, my brother was hanged in the central square. At that time, I was very angry and almost filled with hatred."

"But so many years have passed, and I have been numb for countless nights when I can't fall asleep. Now I want revenge, but that can only be regarded as an obsession. Everything I do is to realize my brother's last wish, that is, unite all those who survive and revive the snowfield.

Now, Xu Ling could understand his motive: "There is no problem in this way, your hope is our purpose."

Simon III smiled: "Yes, after I heard that after you came, I immediately asked Gregory to prepare and contact you as soon as possible. To be honest, doing this is somewhat gambling, but I really have no other way. After a while, I have mastered almost all the armed forces, and I can't move."

Xu Ling thought that this person could even be said to be a bit genius. He was trapped in a city since he was a child and had the courage to make decisions. It was not easy.

"So your majesty, do you know what Sergey is planning? Why did he let us enter the Immortal City?"

Simon III shook his head: "Parliament is very cautious and can hardly speak up in front of me."

Xu Ling had a headache. He thought the emperor could know something, but now it seems that he still needs to investigate it himself.

Suddenly, he remembered another question.

"You said you have someone in the Special Affairs Department, so why not contact us before we enter the city so that we may be able to start the action earlier."

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Although there is my people there, I have no way to decide where they are going. There was only one who was active near Currywush before. Just as I was about to ask him to send a message to you, he lost contact. I suspect...I suspect he had sacrificed."

Xu Ling's expression stagnated, and suddenly he had a premonition of not falling: "Who is that person, what is his name? Maybe I've seen it."

Simon III sighed, "He is a powerful God-Selected Person, very loyal, named Kolinov, and wears a mask at any time. Have you really seen him?"

really.
