Chapter 144: Returning the corpse
Master Riyi's wife delivered the envelope and wooden box to the third floor.
"Prince Chen?"
Lei Luo stood up and took the envelope and wooden box, looking shocked.
Isn’t the Moon Trace Space Node Task already over?
Judging from the old man's meaning of this letter, it seems that Prince Chen is not protected by the Temple of Wisdom.
After Lianyi handed the envelope and wooden box to Lei Luo, she looked cautious.
"Lei Luo, His Majesty the Emperor, has three princes, the eldest prince Boao, who is undoubtedly the most doting of His Majesty. However, the noble families and the church clearly support the second prince Pingxin. As for Prince Chen..."
Ripples shook their heads.
"No one is optimistic about him. His birth is a mistake. I think he wins you over because he knows that he cannot get the support of those big forces at all, and on the other hand, it is because of your mentor and Wushuang Senior Brother. I want to remind you that once you are involved in political disputes, you will not be able to escape again. This is a very dangerous thing, and it is even far beyond your current situation of being assassinated by the Prince of Zetian. Even your mentor and senior brother dare not get involved in the disputes of those big forces without authorization."
Lei Luo nodded slowly.
"Why."
Lianyi knew that Lei Luo had his own plans in his mind.
"Anyway, you have to think carefully. Although joining the prince's dispute will give you more opportunities, the consequences of failure will not be able to bear even your mentor."
After saying that, Lianyi closed the door and turned around and left.
Lei Luo opened Prince Chen's letter.
"My sincere friend, respected Mr. Lei Luo, I have encountered a problem. Only you can help me solve this problem. I have no choice but to hope for our friendship and to get your help. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, the night tavern 3002 private room, this gift is my sincerity."
He burned the envelope casually and Lei Luo opened the wooden box beside him.
"Um?"
Lei Luo stared at the milky white spots that were dispelled by the dove eggs, and murmured in a daze: "Moon Crystal Stone!!"
Take a deep breath.
The advice from Master Lianyi’s wife just now, Lei Luo, who had no intention of socializing with Prince Chen, was a little shaken because of this moon crystal stone.
After picking up the moon crystal back stone several times, Lei Luo hesitated.
...
The next night.
Paint...
It started drizzling in the sky. Lei Luo put on his X mask and his body was covered with a layer of black mist. He quietly merged into the darkness and walked towards a place in the academy.
Room 3002 of Night Hotel.
Dongdongdongdongdong.
The knock on the door came, and Prince Chen, who was waiting anxiously, raised his eyes. The old servant opened the door. Lei Luo, wearing an X mask, was covered with a layer of black smoke, hurried into the room and looked at Prince Chen.
"Even in the college, I can't guarantee my safety, so I can only meet you in this way."
The rain wet her clothes, and Lei Luo took off his coat.
"It is my honor to be here."
Prince Chen actually put the luxurious animal leather coat on Lei Luo.
"To be honest, I have no confidence in whether you will make an appointment. I think you should know my current situation, right?"
"Uh? Actually, I don't know very well."
Lei Luo shook his head and said helplessly: "I rarely participate in aristocratic disputes, let alone understand your highness's situation. Your highness said in his letter that he was in trouble and needed my help?"
Prince Chen recovered in an instant after a brief moment of shock.
"Yes, I'm going to borrow something from you."
"What?"
"My cousin Prince Ling's body!"
Well?
Seeing Lei Luo's shocked and puzzled look, Prince Chen took a deep breath and sighed: "After all, he is my cousin. Even if he dies, he should maintain his due dignity. I have made a request to my father, hoping to bury his cousin in the imperial tomb. My father agreed to my request."
Even a guy like Lei Luo who is far away from politics can hear the deep meaning of Prince Chen's words.
Obviously, Prince Chen wanted to use this cousin's body to do some work and reach some compromises with His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor agreed.
The reason why this Prince Chen was in a very embarrassing situation in the principality was his mother's identity as a princess in the Zeran.
If he were a duke's offspring, his mother's identity as a Zeran princess would undoubtedly bring him great political benefits, but unfortunately, he was a prince, a man who might take over the country.
Everyone will have doubts.
No one knows whether His Majesty, after becoming the emperor of the priest in the future, will the traditional interests of the priest cannot be guaranteed due to his maternal bloodline?
After all, he has half of the ancestry of the Sealand.
I think such doubts are His Majesty the Emperor, and they are no exception.
Since there is this doubt, the principality does not lack princes. Whether the eldest prince or the second prince, they have their own distinct political propositions, there is no need to worry about such a prince.
Prince Chen looked at Lei Luo sincerely and earnestly.
"I know you need the Moon Crystal, but this magic material is extremely rare. Even if I do my best, I can only get this piece. But I know a family of mysterious scholars who have the source of this magic material. As long as you can bury my cousin's body, in addition to this Moon Crystal, I am willing to recommend you!"
A family of mysterious scholars?
As far as Lei Luo knows, there are probably less than ten lunar crystal veins in the major duchys of humanity.
Most of them are like the ore veins in the Moon Trace space node, and can only produce a few pieces per year.
Could it be that this mysterious family has such an ore vein?
"Please rest assured, Prince Ling is His Highness's cousin. I have always been careful to preserve his body. Even if Prince Ling is dead, he should indeed be buried with a decent burial. Giving it to His Highness is the best choice."
Lei Luo didn't say much, and took out the body of Prince Ling, who had been treated with antiseptic treatment in the space ring, and even the neck was finely sewn.
"Cousin!"
When Prince Chen saw the corpse, he burst into tears of sadness...

"Your Highness mourns you."
Lei Luo comforted him awkwardly, and knew that this was Prince Chen's act, but he had to cooperate with the act and stage a hypocritical behavior of the aristocratic class.
After a long time.
With enough scenes, Prince Chen put away the body and covered up the sadness on his face.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Lei Luo, for your accomplishment!"
Prince Chen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lei Luo.
"In the Principality of Moorsi, there is a family of free scholars who explored and developed the remains of Quran from all over the Stars for many years, and often obtained moon crystals from them for sale to major temples. This family hoped to establish its own natural science academies in the Principality of Moorsi, but the huge amount of funds was not affordable at all. Therefore, they lobbled many forces and hoped to get support. I donated some in my private name and signed a private covenant with this family."
A family of archaeologists?
"good."
Lei Luo took the letter of introduction.
Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Prince Chen suddenly said, "Hisser Lei Luo, thank you for helping me again. How can I get your loyalty support?"
With earnest and longing eyes, Prince Chen looked directly at Lei Luo. He already knew another identity of Lei Luo.
The secret weapon of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences, the Eye of the Sun!
"What does Your Highness think of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom?"
Lei Luo suddenly asked a brainless question.
Prince Chen's eyes condensed and he was silent for a short time.
Lei Luo smiled and said, "Your Highness, you know that I am just a student in school, so don't say that I am loyal and supportive. If your Highness wants to get the support of my mentor, go to my mentor. I am just an enlightenment student, a humble scholar who longs for strength."
He nodded silently to the old man beside him, and Lei Luo left the room.
"What does he want?"
Prince Chen took a deep breath, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking the old man.
"It should be the question of His Highness's attitude towards the Temple of the Temple of Wisdom. This Mr. Leiluo seems to be a staunch atheist."
"No."
Prince Chen said deeply: "No, what he is referring to should not be the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, and all gods are unreliable..."
Obviously.
Although Prince Chen completed the mission of the Temple of Wisdom, he did not receive the support of the Temple of Wisdom, or did not receive enough support. In the end, he had to turn his attention to the man who made him afraid and respect, his father.
Use Prince Ling's body to exchange for his equal competition opportunity.
