The guard shook his head and said:
"It's still unclear. We only know that He left the church. More details... need further confirmation from other informants."
Seeing that her father had urgent official business, Candice also understood that the father-daughter chat should end, so she tactfully avoided the question:
"Then I'll go first."
After the emperor said a simple farewell to his daughter, he gave his personal guards a serious order:
"Contact the 'Iron Knight' who is staying at the Imperial University. If 'Xia Guang' goes to the grove, he should be able to detect it."
Now his identity is not a father, but the king of the empire.
"Yes."
The guard immediately did as he was told and turned his head to whisper a few more times.
There was silence for a while. After a dozen seconds, the guard said with a strange expression:
“He didn’t respond.”
"there is a problem……"
After getting this result, the emperor frowned, realized the seriousness of the matter, and lowered his head to think for a moment.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he ordered his guards:
"Go to the school in person and confirm the status of the Iron Knight and the subspace fragments, and check whether the Ray of Light is there."
"What about your safety, Your Majesty?"
The guard did not raise any opinions, but just asked a question before leaving.
"Leave it to the rest of the guards. Just let them know." The emperor said without hesitation, "Have a safe trip."
"Okay, goodbye, your majesty."
The guard bowed deeply, stood up and took a few steps back. A distorted and strange spiritual wave emanated from him, and the next second his body disintegrated into countless strange fragments, which quickly evaporated and dissipated into the air.
"What a troubled time..."
Staring at the place where the guards disappeared, the emperor stood there for a while and let out a long sigh.
Then, he adjusted his expression and instantly turned back into the supreme, majestic, decisive and domineering king.
Turning around, the emperor of the empire quickly walked out of the flower hall filled with natural fragrance and walked towards the depths of the palace.
At the same time, he gently waved his hand in the air, and under the surge of spiritual fluctuations, his low and solemn voice reached the ears of every cabinet minister in the palace:
"Convene a cabinet meeting."
=========================
This chapter of 5,100 words is shamelessly counted as two updates.
Chapter 357 The real purpose
There is another chapter that will be uploaded around 11 o'clock.
=========================
In the independent secret realm that does not exist in the real world and does not belong to the great secret realm, the situation and circumstances have changed drastically.
What fills this space is no longer the dirty, weird, strange, distorted, indescribable colors that exude an unclean smell, but a dreamy and brilliant orange and yellow like the colorful clouds at dusk.
In just over ten seconds, the majestic shadow of the demigod "Apostle of Sunset" of the Sunset Spiritual Society filled every corner of this small world. Everywhere you looked, there was the lazy and changing sunset that made people intoxicated and indulged.
The high priest of the Capital Cathedral, “Saint of Dawn and Dusk”, knelt on an invisible plane in the void, offering the most pious respect and worship to a figure in front of him as a legendary powerful man of the fourth realm.
The "Shield of the Empire" Nuss, the president of the Imperial National University Romon, and the master of the Royal Guard "Iron Blood Knight", who were farther away, these three powerful men with different positions and camps, all, without exception, completely restrained the aura of power they exuded.
At this moment, these few high-level extraordinary people, whose strength is among the best in the human world, are like ordinary mortals...
He lowered his head to the surging and changing light, put aside his pride without hesitation, and showed his unquestionable admiration.
As it turned out, the three legendary strongmen did not belong to the Canyang Spiritual Cultivation Society, but in the face of absolute realm suppression, even they had to retreat and were unable to have the slightest thought of disobeying or offending.
“A familiar smell.”
Among all the people present, except for "Xiaguang" herself and the unconscious Fasti, the only one who could remain calm was... the petite girl standing gracefully in the void.
Qi Ji put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand, stroking it lightly and slowly in the air filled with colorful clouds, as if caressing an invisible body, and his pink and delicate lips moved slightly:
“I kind of miss it…”
In this gorgeous and psychedelic glow, she felt a very familiar breath.
What captures this breath is not the five senses, nor inspiration, but a kind of exploration that transcends any senses, as if the soul itself has a transcendental resonance with certain things.
This breath is pure, transparent, and clear, and contains infinitely dense orderliness. It is a conceptual entity condensed purely from laws.
"Divinity".
Moreover, the laziness, decadence and decline revealed in this endless clarity indicate that this is the divinity of the "third authority, the lingering fog" that symbolizes the realm of "decline."
This reminded her of a little girl named Daisy whom she met by chance in a cafe in a border town when she first came to the Glorious Plantagenet Empire, and who was later given a drop of blood by Daisy to save her life.
"I don't know how she is doing now. It must be very tiring to deal with the interrogation of the Supervising Bureau...
"She'd better not fall behind in the spiritual system course I arranged for her. That textbook is the culmination of my thoughts. I would be very sad if it was pressed to the ground to be used as a table leg..."
The sudden contact with familiar things gave her some ideas, and she couldn't help but express her feelings:
"After finishing these things, let's go back to Sunset Harbor... It will only take a while for a 'stand-in to flash'."
Recovering her mind to the present, she looked towards the figure at the deepest part of "Colorful Clouds" where the "Saint of Dawn and Dusk" was kneeling and worshipping.
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he said with a smile:
"This is the first time we meet, please take care of me."
Along with this very Japanese greeting, the figure in the brilliant glow of the sunset... responded.
"I am the apostle of the Eternal Setting Sun, the 'Sunlight' who carries out the will of the dusk. Strange mythical creature, please tell me your name."
The sound was unclear, and the voice was extremely distorted and modified, sounding hazy and elusive, like a breeze blowing through the clouds.
It is impossible to judge the gender and age of this demigod just by his voice... However, for a being of this level, the so-called age, gender and other attributes that are only qualified to be manifested by mortal characteristics have long been meaningless.
"Mythical creatures..."
Hearing the other party use such a broad term to refer to himself, Qi Ji was a little amused for a moment:
"It seems that He cannot confirm whether I am a 'human' or not..."
Although there are no explicit regulations or clear standards, generally speaking, all extraordinary people unanimously agree to use titles such as "demigod" and "divine" to refer to humans... or at least those divine beings who were once humans.
However, not all divine beings in this world are promoted from humans. Strictly speaking, throughout history, non-human divine beings account for the vast majority.
Before the Sixth Epoch, and even in the ancient times even earlier, when the gods had not yet ascended to the astral realms and the divine kingdoms, but walked the mortal world without disguise, the earth was full of powerful and noble supernatural creatures.
The extraordinary people in the human race can only be considered a minority among them, and they are just an ordinary part of the vast number of living beings.
Among the countless non-human extraordinary creatures, there are also some lucky ones who can transcend the scope of living beings and reach the realm of mythology, such as the ancestor of modern dragons, the "Origin Ancient Dragon"; the ancestor of modern orcs, the "Origin Giant"...
Although most of these non-human mythical creatures have been lost in the long years, turmoil and disasters that have made time meaningless, some still survive to this day.
The most well-known and influential ones are called "natural disasters". They are almost immortal and can only be temporarily repelled and contained, but difficult to completely eliminate. Until now, they have periodically threatened the survival of human civilization...
"This demigod, Mr. or Ms...."
Since the other party is so polite, of course we should reciprocate.
Qi Ji took a step back with one foot, slightly bent her knees, and lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her shoe. Although she was floating in the air, she was still on a certain plane, so she could just regard this invisible plane as the "ground". She leaned forward slightly, and at the same time, she slightly lifted the two corners of the hem of her cloak with both hands...
Using the lower part of her long cape as a skirt, she performed a fairly standard skirt-lifting salute to the "Apostle of the Rays of Light".
"Names don't mean anything to me. You can call me 'One Zero Five'."
The sound is brisk but not lazy, which is just right.
“…One zero five?!”
Upon hearing this digital code, the Royal Fleet Admiral "Imperial Shield" Nuss, who had lowered his head and dared not look up, was shocked all over, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he seemed to have thought of something.
Because the military has most of the high-level supernatural beings in the empire, it has frequent exchanges of personnel and information with the Supernatural Management Bureau, which often needs to deal with various supernatural events, large or small.
The Royal Fleet is the key pillar and backbone of the Imperial Military. As one of the leading figures of the Royal Fleet, he must be aware of the major transfers and events of the Super Administration.
In recent times, the biggest event that caused a stir in the Imperial Super Administration was the "Bonadensheng Incident" that occurred in Sunset Harbor half a month ago.
It is said that not only did it involve at least three fourth-level legendary powerhouses, but it also alarmed the "Holy Relic Shelter" of the Yueling Republic. Until now, the top leaders of the Super Management Bureau are still busy with this matter.
According to his understanding of this incident, there seems to be an unspeakable figure running through the whole process——
A cloaked girl who calls herself "Yao Liuliu".
Chapter 358 The Real Purpose (Part )
A 3,000-word chapter...
=========================
The name "Yao Liuliu" permeates almost every corner of that incident, but strangely, there is no more information except for some vague and highly subjective words.
What is her identity, what is her purpose, what is her level of strength, whether there is any organization supporting her...no one knows anything. It seems like a groundless rumor, which gives this incident a layer of mystery.
After learning about this, Nus originally thought that the person "Yao Liuliu" might not exist at all, or that the identity was shared by a group of people, which was why this guy's behavior and style were so bizarre.
But now, he has a new speculation...
The demigod in front of me calls himself "One Zero Five"...
Compared with the "One Six Six" in Sunset Harbor, both of them have three-digit numbers as their code names, both wear long black hooded capes, and at least from the appearance, they are both very young women...
Is there a possibility...that these two people are members of the same organization?
They are secretly manipulating something behind each major event, and it is even possible that many of those events were pushed forward by them...
Is the purpose to realize some unknown vision or to achieve some unspeakable situation?
This...what does this mean?
What could this mean?!
All kinds of unfounded fantasies ran rampant in the mind of the Royal Fleet Admiral, making his thinking confused.
The only thing he could be sure of was that after returning, he would inform His Majesty the Emperor of this matter and his conjecture!
No matter what, there must be some incredible secrets hidden behind these messy clues!
"One zero five..."
The demigod "Xiaguang" of the Sunset Spiritual Cultivation Society repeated this strange name. The shadowy figure in the colorful clouds nodded and said in an inaudible tone:
"If you have a grudge against the New World sect, I can hand this pagan over to you for your disposal."
Very generous...
It seems that even a demigod-level being would not be hostile to another demigod for no reason.
Qi Ji put down her "skirt", stood up, and asked in a pretentious tone:
"So, what's the price, 'Xiaguang'?"
"It's not a price, it's just a reasonable condition."
As a native of another world, "Xiaguang" of course didn't understand the joke and replied calmly:
"If it is convenient, you shall preserve this man's body and mind, and hand him over to us after your interrogation is completed."
Simply put, people can give you things, but you have to give them back, and you have to ensure that they are intact physically and mentally, and not made stupid.
"no problem."
Qi Ji agreed without hesitation.
This was not an excessive request, or in fact it was quite reasonable. After all, Fasti was causing trouble on the territory of the Cangyang Spiritual Society, and legally the Cangyang Spiritual Society should have the right to deal with it.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After getting Qi Ji's response, "Xiaguang" left without confirming with her the details such as the time and place of handing over Fasti.
The colorful clouds in the sky disappeared in an instant, and the "Saint of Dawn and Dusk" who was kneeling beside the "clouds" also disappeared.
