Age of Mysticism Chapter 284

  Chapter 284 Return to the Palace

   The abyss mage lurking into the imperial capital was eliminated, which was a major victory for the war the empire was facing.

  With the deepening of the investigation, the crimes committed by the abyss mage and the assassination plan he was preparing were found out, which made the shock caused by this incident intensify.

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

  The things behind all the signs are enough for all the staff and think tanks in the imperial capital to think 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 operation.

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

  Even if I am in the imperial capital now, once there is a huge change in the palace, I will have no strength to fight against 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, will it be possible to continue fighting for reserves with Agatha's assistance.

  The cabinet representing the Crusaders was surprisingly calm. They did not express their stance because the Crusader Institute was destroyed, and allowed the city guards to continue to occupy the Caltrop armor factory.

  Eldest Prince Fania did not put pressure on the cabinet on the issue of the abyss mage.

  Both sides understood tacitly that this was a stumbling block set by Meteor for Fania in this great achievement, preventing him from getting full achievement.

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

   As a result, apart from the Celtic Grand Duke, only Emperor Augustine was injured.

  He wants to get immortality from Morris... Morris is dead.

  He wanted to gain longevity through the secret technique of eternal life...The Crusader Institute was sealed up, and Dr. Elvis, who was in charge of the experiment, became an abyss mage and died.

  Even related experiments in the Extraordinary Creation Center were sabotaged by unknown personnel.

  Emperor Augustine became haggard, and no one in the huge empire wanted to see his life span extended. He used to laugh at himself for thinking this way, but the reality tells him...it's all true.

  I am the emperor of the empire, one of the most powerful people in the world, but what I face is an extremely cruel and cold court.

  Augustin was sitting on a chair, no matter how hot the stove burning in front of him was, it couldn't warm his body.

   "Father..."

   A soft cry caused a warm current to rise in Emperor Augustine's heart. He looked at his daughter who walked into the room, and there was a soft look in his eyes.

   "Dair!" Augustine stood up, and he took Princess Dai's hand and let her sit beside him. He stared at the daughter who had been missing for many days, and said softly: "I thought I would never see you again... just come back, forget about 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 emperor who made her dare not breathe.

"I didn't suffer too much. After I was attacked and taken away, Miss Weathering Sky and Governor Meteor quickly rescued me. Because I didn't know who attacked me, Miss Weathering Sky asked me to dress up as a member of Oulu Academy student, living in her museum..."

  Dai'er was talking about what she had agreed with Qingkong.

  If she said that she escaped by herself, she would definitely be in the strictly "protected" palace.

After listening to Dai'er's narration, Emperor Augustine nodded slightly: "No wonder Meteor was able to find the Abyss Temple so quickly. It turned out that he had already saved you. Fortunately, you were saved by him. If you fell into the hands of the Abyss Temple, I really don't know what they will do to you."

  Augustine thought of the materials he had seen, but couldn't imagine what Dier would be like when he was sent there.

  The emotion towards Meteor in my heart is inevitably diluted a lot.

Dai'er didn't know what kind of turmoil the meteorite's actions had caused in the palace. She was in a good mood when she saw her father, and 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 with classmates is much more interesting than studying in the palace.

  I... can I stay in the museum of Miss Weatherlight, the most learned scholar I have ever met. "

  Daier 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 Weatherlight very much. What kind of person she is... no, what kind of elf."

  Talking about the clear sky, Dai'er's eyes couldn't help showing a look of worship.

  "Miss Sunny Sky's secret art class is so wonderful that it can only be described as fantasy. I don't know how she knows so many secret arts, and some of them are purely show-type secret arts.

  She can create a starry sky in class, and can easily present the sea and mountains in front of us. I also saw her use dragon scales to make mysterious props, Professor Ban said that Miss Skylight killed a dragon..."

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

  Augustin listened quietly, examining this mysterious and powerful elf from Dai'er's perspective.

  Finally, Dai'er actually begged Augustine in a coquettish tone: “Father, please let me go to Miss Weatherly's museum. Miss Weatherly will definitely protect me.”

  Dear held Augustine's hand and shook it. When she realized that her actions were presumptuous, she immediately let go of her hand.

  Augustin's expression also flickered, and the moment Daier let go, his heart also felt empty.

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

  If Daier is really close to Qingkong, it will be a good thing for the empire. At the national level, the force of the clear sky is a strategic level of deterrence. As a princess, Dai'er has a good relationship with her, which is equivalent to binding a super force for the royal family.

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

   Obtained consent, Dai'er jumped up from the chair so happy that she almost forgot the princess's demeanor.

   "Really? Thank you, Father!"

  Dear's innocence infected Augustine, and he was a bit reluctant to marry her to Meteor.

  But he quickly put aside the short-lived warmth and resigned himself to the identity of the emperor of the empire.

   "Meteor Xing owes a lot to your safe return this time. I have always wanted you to marry him. You must be mentally prepared..."

  Dai'er knew that her father wanted to marry Meteor for a long time, this time he formally mentioned it to herself, which made Dai'er feel dazed.

   Scenes of what happened during the time she spent with Meteor appeared before her eyes.

Looking at Dai'er who was stunned, Augustine thought she was unwilling, so he half persuaded and half ordered: "You are a royal princess and you have to take on the responsibility of a royal princess. Meteor is a very talented person. He can control the world at such a young age. After leaving the city of Raging Waves, he can still enjoy both ways in the court, and he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet in the future and become the first and assistant minister of the imperial court.

  This person is used well and can keep the empire prosperous.

  If he rebels...none of your brothers is a match for him.

  You marry him, and I will give him the supreme glory, then I can put the reins on him and let him be loyal to the empire wholeheartedly.

  Do you understand? "

   "I..." Dai'er didn't know how to answer. She doesn't dislike Meteor, but it's far from the level of admiration. She didn't want to be a tool of imperial politics like her married sisters. She wants to escape, free to pursue what she thinks is beautiful.

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

  Looking at the dazed and helpless Dai'er, Emperor Augustine couldn't help but soften his heart.

   "Think about it carefully... I also need to observe 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 and chat with me when you have time... Your brothers and sisters are too busy with affairs and rarely take the initiative Come see me."

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

  Watching Dai'er leave the room, Emperor Augustine looked at the stove again. He tightened the blanket wrapped around his body, and then fell asleep with his eyes closed.

   While the imperial court was in turmoil, Meteor stayed away from disputes and stayed in the Sixth Secret Service, and did not see anyone visiting.

  Luke turned into a businessman from Raging City and returned to the lower city. After picking up Alice, let Kuaileg drive to Malcolm's Institute of Extraordinary Species.

   Along the way, traces of battles can be seen everywhere. Some of the corpses were not collected, and the faces eaten by wild dogs were completely changed.

   People seem to be much less.

  Alice sat beside Luke very primly. Even if she didn't see Madam Jasmine, she didn't dare to make intimate gestures to Luke.

  She thought she had seen the madness in the lower town, but it was only during the time when Mr. Luke was away that she knew what real madness was.

  All the people in the lower city really went crazy, and killings filled the whole day and night. As an information broker, the most news Alice receives every day is who is dead, who is dead.

  Those famous bigwigs who hang out in the lower city have turned into corpses in a blink of an eye.

  The battle at the sewage reservoir made both sides jealous, and affected the entire lower city. And the person who caused all this is the young man with a kind temperament beside him.

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

  By relying on the money in his hands and the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, old Adrian withstood the siege of the other four alchemy factories in the early stages of the battle.

   Then the old Adrian gradually changed from defense to offense with the addition of elite thugs and money bribes.

  During this period, with Luke's supplementary funds and the secret support of the Malcolm Institute of Extraordinary Species, old Adrian became stronger and stronger.

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

   It was Luke who stopped the final occupation war initiated by the old Adrian in time and asked Malcolm to mediate. This time he went to Malconn's research institute, just to participate in the sewage reservoir peace talks meeting.

   The old Adrian family cannot be allowed to dominate.

  Luke did not forget to praise Alice after listening: "You did a good job this time. When the incident is over and the downtown area is re-stabilized, you will be my spokesperson here and be responsible for mediating conflicts between all parties."

  Alice knew that with Luke's identity, it was impossible to stay in the downtown area and do everything by herself. To be his spokesperson was to win a golden job and become a figure who could call the wind and rain in the downtown area.

   "Thank you, Mr. Luke, for trusting me. I will definitely help you mediate with all parties in the lower city, and let them make good money for you."

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

   Drive to Malcolm's Extraordinary Species Research Institute.

  A lot of reinforcements have been done here compared to the last time. The high-walled compound has also increased a lot of guards.

  The chaos in the downtown area during this period also gave Malcolm a strong sense of crisis.

  The one who greeted Luke and his party was Black Panther Monis, who saluted Luke respectfully and said, "Mr. Luke, my master is conducting an experiment, so I can't greet you personally, please forgive me.

  Please wait in the reception room, the master's experiment will end soon. "

  Luke followed the black panther Monis to the inside of the institute, and asked: "Last time Malken said he lost a very important thing, have you found it now?"

  The panther answered while leading the way: "No... This is the downtown area, and it is easy to find lost things. Fortunately, the investment brought by Mr. Luke allows the owner to carry out many research topics, so that he will not be angry all the time about that thing.

  Did Mrs. Jasmine not come this time? "

  Luke replied: "During this period, a lot of things happened in St. Lun City, and abyss mages and spies were caught everywhere. The imperial city is still safe, so I let my wife continue to live in the hotel.

   Anyway, things don't take long here, and my business here will be up and running soon. "

  Panther Monis can feel the shift happening downtown. After the negotiation is over, this Mr. Luke is the underground emperor of the lower city.

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

  Luke was waiting in the living room drinking tea, and it didn't take long for Malken to walk 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 picked up a small leather nest from the arms of another assistant, and there was a little white guy wriggling in the nest.

   Malcolm came over and showed Luke what he was holding.

  It was a little milk dog with pure white fluff and a pair of small and fluffy wings on its back.

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