Age of Mysticism Chapter 329

  Chapter 329 The return train

  Shenglun City, the Imperial Palace, and the imperial emperor's bedroom.

  Queen Christina opened the door and walked in. She turned around and took the tray full of memorials and documents from the servant, and said, "Your Majesty is resting now. You are here to wait. Don't let anyone disturb Your Majesty."

   "Obey, Your Highness the Queen!"

  The servant saluted to Christina, and then closed the door from the outside.

  Christina chanted a spell and locked the door, then turned and walked towards a bookshelf facing the door. The imperial emperor's bedroom was empty, and there was no Augustine the Great resting on the spacious and gorgeous bed.

  When Christina walked to the front of the bookshelf, a parrot got out from the gap between the two books. It tilted its head and stared at Christina, its two eyes glowed reddish, as if examining the identity of the person in front of it.

   "His Royal Highness..." the parrot said logically, "Your Majesty is replenishing his body, and he ordered: If there is nothing too urgent, you can handle it on your behalf."

  Christina said: "Please report back to Your Majesty...We have sent news from the Western Territory, including a letter of loyalty signed by all the nobles of the Western Territory. They also agreed that the empire will build the railway into the Western Territory."

   "Okay, I will report back to His Majesty immediately, please wait later."

  The parrot turned around and got into the gap between the books.

  Christina stood motionless in front of the bookshelf holding the tray, without any arrogance because no one was watching her.

   After a while, the bookshelves parted to reveal a metal door. The metal door opened again, and behind it was an elevator.

  Under the watchful eyes of an unknown number of surveillance eyes, Christina walked into the elevator without looking sideways, then turned around and waited for the elevator to close.

  The underground of the imperial palace has a center that provides energy for the entire palace. It can not only keep the imperial palace hidden in the secondary space for a long time, but also lift the entire palace to float. Such an important place is the top priority of the palace defense system, and those who work here are not allowed to leave for life unless they get special approval from the emperor.

  The elevator stops and the doors open. In the middle of a not-so-spacious corridor, a one-eyed servant saluted Christina: "Your Highness, please follow me!"

  The waiter turned around, revealing a section of snake tail under his clothes, and walked forward along the corridor.

  Queen Christina followed and asked, "How is your majesty's health?"

  The waiter didn't stop, and replied: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Your Majesty is in very good health under our care. It's just that you need to continue to supplement nutrients if you want to start the operation.

  You know, extraordinary transformation consumes a lot of energy in the body. "

   "Your Majesty is the most wise and majestic emperor in the history of the empire. Under his rule, the Golden Shield Empire has never been stronger. Now the empire is on the road to a new peak, and His Majesty needs to continue to lead us.

  Protecting His Majesty's safety is your top priority, and no mistakes are allowed in the extraordinary transformation. "

  The waiter paused for a moment and continued to walk forward: "We will do our best to ensure that the extraordinary transformation is 100% successful."

  Christina didn't continue to say anything, only the sound of her footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

  Through the maze-shaped corridor, Christina followed the waiter into a room.

  There are some alchemy equipment with beams of light in operation on the four walls of the room, and several pipes are connected to a crystal nutrition cabinet in the middle. Augustine the Great was lying in the light green nutrient solution, with a respirator on his mouth and nose, his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

  The waiter brought Christina to the side of the crystal nutrition cabinet, and moved a chair for her: "His Royal Highness, please sit down, the staff here have all avoided, you can talk to Your Majesty in peace.

  I quit. "

  The waiter left the room after speaking, and after the door closed, only Christina who was sitting and Emperor Augustine lying in the crystal nutrition cabinet were left in the room.

  Augustine's voice sounded from all sides: "You said that the western border sent news, and those nobles who didn't take the emperor seriously wrote me a letter of loyalty and agreed to let the railway be built into the western border.

   Have these old stubborn heads been filled with too much sand? Could it be...Alec led troops into the western region and forced them to write a letter of loyalty with a knife? "

  Augustine in the crystal nutrition cabinet did not move, still in a deep sleep.

   But his voice shows that he is in a very good mood.

  The western border has always been a big problem that has plagued the emperors of all dynasties. Although these nobles of the western region did not recognize their relatives, their attitudes towards the imperial family were surprisingly consistent.

  The empire wants to fight them... First, there is no excuse, and second, the loss outweighs the gain.

   If you don't hit them... you have to suffer from them doing something every now and then.

   Today, the aristocrats of the western region sent a letter of allegiance together. The first thing that Augustine thought of was that Alec led his troops to raid the western region. Taking advantage of the harvest festival, the nobles of the western region gathered together, and they were all arrested in World War I.

   To be able to fight such a beautiful raid in the western region with inconvenient traffic and full of yellow sand, not only does a commander need to have enough courage, but also requires excellent insight and command ability.

   It didn't take long for Alec to take over the reorganization of the Western Region Legion in New Moon City. He was able to win the battle that decided the entire situation in the Western Region so quickly. Emperor Augustine felt that he had underestimated his son before.

  Fania, on the other hand, stayed in the imperial capital, waiting for the crown to fall on his head.

But just when Emperor Augustine was already thinking about how to train Alec to be the Crown Prince, Queen Christina said: "Your Majesty, according to the information from the Western Region and the memorials submitted by the nobles of the Western Region... the credit for calming the Western Region this time seems to be similar to that of Asia. Rick is fine."

   "It doesn't matter? How is it possible! I know very well what kind of goods those western nobles are. If they don't have a knife on their necks, they will never surrender to me."

  Christina said: "But Alec and his Western Territory Legion did not launch a military operation against the Western Territory.

  The nobles of the Western Territory said in unison: They were influenced by the sincerity of the Governor of Meteor, and decided to withdraw from the Brotherhood of Blades, and they will be loyal to the Empire wholeheartedly.

  In order to express their loyalty to the empire, they also killed Ergu Ya, the special envoy sent by the Celts, and Silvia, the sixth apostle of the Temple of the Abyss..."

   Before Christina could finish speaking, Augustine in the crystal nutrition cabinet suddenly opened his eyes.

  Then the nutrient solution in the cabinet was quickly drawn out.

  The door of the cabinet opened automatically, and Augustine sat up from inside. He pulled off the respirator, and asked tremblingly, "What happened in the West?"

  Christina put the tray on the small table next to the crystal cabinet, and picked up a document from the top: "Your Majesty, this is the information I compiled on the Western Territory..."

  Augustine reached out his hand and found that his arm was full of nutrient solution, so he released his magic to dry his hand.

When Christina submitted the document to Augustine, she said: "On the grasslands of the ancestors in the Harmutu Basin, the World Tree destroyed in the ancient war was revived. The new World Tree is called the Moonlight Tree King, and together with the Moonlight Queen, the World Tree was established. royal court.

   Now the Moonlight Royal Court has a strong cohesion and appeal to the barbarians in the western border. And the Moonlight Queen is...Miss Skylight the Fairy! "

  Augustin hadn't turned the first page yet, and after hearing Qingkong's name, his expression became even more gloomy.

  He opened the file, which contained the detailed information on the western border compiled by Christina.

  Augustin watched very carefully, and his body trembled more violently.

   After a long time, Augustine squeezed out a name from between his teeth: "Meteor!"

  Christina said: "Your Majesty... What did the meteorite do in the western region, and further information collection is needed.

  Agatha gave her own opinion on how the empire treated the Moonlight Court.

  The empire recognized the independence of the Moonlight Court, and assigned the Grassland of the Ancestors to the Moonlight Court. The Western Territory still belongs to the empire, but the Western Territory must continue to maintain its autonomy.

   Agatha also said... World Tree's recovery this time will hold the five ancient civilizations accountable. It is best for the empire not to be involved in this dispute now. "

  Emperor Augustine took a deep breath and used magic to stabilize his emotions.

  The changes in the western region are too great, completely beyond his imagination.

   "How do you think you should treat the Moonlight Court?"

  Queen Christina replied: "Your Majesty, this incident is too serious and beyond what I can handle."

   "Tell me about your thoughts. Suddenly waking up from a deep sleep has messed up my mind."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Christina said: "I think Agatha's proposal is very in line with the interests of the empire. The World Tree is an extraordinary creature that has existed since ancient times, and it should be treated with caution. Especially now that the Shuojin civilization has launched Ancient wars have a lot of psychological burden, and the Moonlight Royal Court's appeal for accountability is likely to receive a positive response from the Shuojin Civilization.

   Acknowledging the Moonlight Royal Court's rule over the grasslands of the ancestors, the empire has no loss, but can establish a friendly relationship with World Tree. If the Moonlight Royal Court can really get compensation from the five ancient civilizations, the empire must be the biggest beneficiary. "

Listening to Christina's analysis, Emperor Augustine nodded slowly and said: "The current situation of the empire does not allow an enemy of unknown strength. You can first recognize the Moonlight Royal Court and its control over the grasslands of the ancestors. How to deal with the western border?" You can talk slowly.

  What I'm worried about is... the Moonlight Queen who controls the Moonlight King's Court turned out to be the elf Qingkong, and Meteor was appointed as the Queen's Chief Counselor. They are all councilors of Raging Waves City, Meteor is the Governor of Raging Waves City appointed by me, and Clear Sky is Will Reed's successor.

  The newly built railway will connect Raging City with the Moonlight Royal Court. They control the east and west of the empire, and they are bound to threaten the rule of the empire. "

  Christina said: "So the empire needs you more, Your Majesty."

  Emperor Augustine nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, the empire needs me. As long as I live, the power of the empire will gather together. No matter how rich the city of Raging Waves is, it is just a lonely city. The western region...is even more barren and desolate.

  I must survive the extraordinary transformation operation! "

  Christina saw that Augustine's body began to shake again, and immediately persuaded him, "Your Majesty, you need to rest."

  Augustin also realized that his body had reached its limit, and the nutrition and energy supplements for the extraordinary transformation surgery were also a very heavy burden on his current body.

   Therefore, he must be soaked in the nutrient solution for a long time to sleep, and the body's functions should be minimized.

   Augustine lay down again, and the light green nutrient solution was slowly injected.

"I must make the best preparations for the extraordinary transformation surgery. During this period of time, all the government affairs will be handed over to you. Do it boldly according to your ideas, and when I sit back on the throne, everything will return to how it should be." s position."

   Augustine put on a respirator and closed his eyes. The nutrient solution submerged his entire body, and the lid of the crystal cabinet was closed.

  Christina stood up and saluted Augustine: "Obey, Your Majesty, the empire is waiting for your return."

   "Go!"

   Augustine's voice echoed in the room.

  Christina picked up the tray, turned and walked to the door, the door was pushed open, and the Serpentine Sergeant saluted: "Your Highness, please follow me, I will see you off."

   "Take care of Your Majesty."

   "Please rest assured, Your Highness the Queen."

  In Crescent City in the west, the imperial mission train slowly left the platform with its whistle sounding. After nearly a month of overseas visits to the west, the mission carried a full harvest and drove along the railway tracks to the direction of Shenglun City.

  The convenient transportation made a large backlog of information pile up in front of Agatha, so she had to summon her assistants to process the intelligence information directly in the carriage.

  Luke took a leisurely look at a few newspapers from the information, completely ignoring Agatha's desperation from the information.

   So much so that Agatha couldn't help complaining: "Do you know how much intelligence the empire can produce every day, and how much intelligence can be accumulated in this month? As a senior official of the Secret Intelligence Bureau, don't you have the consciousness to help the chief share the work?"

  Luke kept his eyes on the contents of the newspaper, and said lazily: "Although I am a senior official of the Imperial Secret Service, you should know that I have not received any intelligence analysis and processing training.

   It gives me a headache to see your fragments of intelligence, let alone piece them together into a finished intelligence narrative.

   At that time, I think about a business opportunity to make money. Wouldn't it contribute more to the empire than reading notes? "

"As a senior official of the Imperial Secret Service, analyzing intelligence is the most basic skill. You didn't know it before, it was my negligence, and now I will personally teach you how to splice intelligence fragments..." Agatha did not intend to let Luke go Fishing, but when she was about to pull Luke to work, a message from the assistant caught her attention.

   Luke noticed that Agatha's expression was wrong, put down the newspaper and asked, "What happened, did Yate County United call?"

  Agatha put the note in front of Luke: "It's not information from the northern border, it's from the court.

  Father Huang has not appeared in public for a week. After he held the imperial meeting for the last time and announced that the queen would handle government affairs on his behalf, he has been recuperating. Now he can't see anyone except the queen, and there have been many rumors in the palace.

  One of the rumors is... His Majesty has passed away, and the Queen will keep his funeral secret! "
