Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 228 Hit the Front Stand

   Agatha was in a trance when she came out of the conservatory. She knew that in her father's heart, power was paramount, and family affection might not even come second. To him, he is just a tool. When he feels that the tool is out of control, he will replace it without hesitation.

  The cloister of the imperial palace is resplendent and magnificent, and the palace guards are standing on both sides wearing full-body armor and holding long-handled battle axes. Passing maids and internal servants salute the eldest princess one after another. The inexplicable chill caused Agatha to tighten her clothes, and then walked to her bedroom with her entourage and ladies.

  At the same time, Emperor Augustine intended to spread the news that Princess Dai'er was married to Meteor of Raging Waves City through various channels. The imperial intention in it has caused many speculations, and all the forces in the imperial capital are considering how to deal with this meteor who came from Rage City with a murderous aura.

  Meteor still doesn't know what he will face in the Imperial City. In order not to passively accept the mercy of others, he uses the short time to strengthen his control over Raging Waves City.

  Raging Waves City council reform plan was quickly passed.

   Meteorite, Viscount Iscolan, Ible, Mrs. Mihir, and Fairy Clear Sky are the lifelong members of the Upper Council of Rage City. Luke occupies two seats in the highest authority in Raging Waves City. Ible is bound more and more tightly with the Yanyang Group commercially, and it is already an irreparable interest group.

  So Luke has a solid three votes in the upper council of Raging City.

  Viscount Iscoran and Mrs. Mihir are both good at adapting to the situation and knowing what to do under certain circumstances.

  The main force of the Cape Anti-Smuggling Fleet was placed on Fishbone Island, under the command of Mrs. Tasia. When the new batch of "Number One" class steel battleships enter service, Fishbone Island will have the ability to wipe out the Imperial Navy of Raging Waves City. This deterrent force at sea is Luke's hard power to control Rage City.

   And Luke's soft power in controlling Raging City is the support of the people at the bottom that he has been fighting for.

  The citizens of Raging Waves City have been far away from the imperial rule for a long time. They are enlightened, have high cultural quality, and have a strong ability to accept. The appeal of the citizens of Raging Wave City is very simple, that is, they will support whoever gives them a better quality of life.

  Luke opened the Yanyang Technical School and has been solving the job problems of the unemployed.

  The factory in Ible has achieved great results in reducing working hours, increasing wages, and encouraging innovation and invention. Now the new salary system is being actively and passively accepted by other factories. More consumption and more jobs have caused Raging Waves City to experience so many turmoil. Not only did the economy not shrink, but it grew strongly.

  Money is the best lobbying.

  Luke's ability to control Rage City so smoothly is inseparable from the support of industry, commerce and low-level beneficiaries.

  Even though Luke went on a killing spree in Rage City because of the assassination, it still didn't affect the support of the people for him. Some people even think that without these people's secret troubles, Chief Detective Meteorite can bring Raging Waves City into another period of rapid economic growth.

   There is the support of the low-level people as the foundation; the anti-smuggling fleet in Cape District as the pillar; the upper council of Raging Waves City as the starting point. The city council and city administrative department sandwiched in the middle only have the function of serving the city, and whoever is unqualified will be replaced. They are no longer a force that can affect the overall situation.

  Combined with the impregnable fortress that has been managed in the Cape District, Raging Waves City forms a closed loop, ready to make the sound that Luke wants it to make.

  All things settled, five days after the assassination, Luke boarded the airship to the imperial capital with his chosen team.

   On this day, the clear sky had already arrived at Shenglun City, the capital of the Golden Shield Empire. She was traveling in a royal airship, and with her was a squad of royal knights.

  The interior of the pod of the royal airship is spacious and luxurious, and the ubiquitous gold decorations show the wealth and majesty of the Golden Shield Empire. Sunny sat on a soft chair and looked at the city below through the round window.

  Different from the international avant-garde cities that are connected to Rage City, Shenglun City, as the capital of the empire, exudes a very strong historical charm. The flags representing their own families are planted on the pointed roofs, and people in old-fashioned service and knights in armor can be seen on the road.

   Of course, the rapidly developing world has also affected this ancient city. There are also many fashionable houses and buildings in the middle of the modern buildings. There are street lights on both sides of the flat road and steam car tracks in the middle. There is also an old man in extremely conservative clothes, wearing glasses, sitting on a bench and reading a newspaper...

  New and old collide in this city.

  Although an ancient city is somewhat out of touch with the new era, it has not stopped chasing. All seemingly contradictory styles here present an alternative urban style of exclusion, integration and entanglement.

The airship was landing. Looking at the increasingly clear city below in the clear sky, he couldn't help saying with emotion: "I like Shenglun City very much. It is full of the impact of changing times. I hope we can start a wonderful life here. "

  This time, the only one who came to St. Lun City with Qingkong was Jenferni. She was still a girl at heart, lying by the window and staring at this magnificent city.

   "The current Saint Lun City has changed a lot from the Saint Lun City I saw when I was a child, but I can still recall some places. Look! That is the Triumph Avenue, and it has been widened.

   Going north along the Kaixuan Avenue is the Royal Palace.

  There is an enchantment outside the palace, and there is no way to see the inside from the outside. Professor Qingkong, can we meet His Majesty the Emperor this time? "

  Clear Sky also saw Triumph Avenue, the projection of a towering castle at the end of Triumph Avenue. But that was just a projection, the real palace was behind the barrier. Only when there is a grand festival or celebration, the imperial palace will release the enchantment and float into the air, allowing the public to admire the great imperial palace.

Regarding Jenferni's expected question, Qing Kong said: "The Emperor of the Empire is not so easy to see. Let's find a place to settle down first, and then go to see Dean Will Reed and listen to his views on opening the Oulu Academy Branch in the Imperial Capital .”

   Then a knight came over.

  He has a handsome appearance, wearing an exquisite half body armor, and a famous sword hanging on his waist.

  The knight gave Qingkong a standard aristocratic salute: "Beautiful and charming Miss Qingkong. The royal airship is about to land, and your residence has been arranged properly. It is at No. 145 Zijinhua Avenue, which belongs to the royal family's property.

  I am Royal Knight Wycliffe Jared, and my team and I will serve as your guards and guides while you adapt to life in the Imperial Capital.

  If you need anything, you can tell me. "

  Jared Knight tried his best to show himself in front of the clear sky, and he was conquered by the elf's appearance at the first sight of the clear sky.

  Clear Sky watches Jared.

   When the airship is descending, there will be serious turbulence. And Jared stood there, the soles of his feet were as steady as taking root, and he obviously had good strength. Looking at the nine knights standing in other positions, they also looked elite.

  It seems that Emperor Augustine attached great importance to the clear sky!

   The more attention the better!

Clear Sky smiled back at Jared Knight, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty... Like Jenny, although I have been to St. Lun City, it was a long time ago. This city has changed a lot, and I will definitely There are many things that need your help."

  Jared said happily: "It's my honor to be able to serve Miss Skylight. The city of St. Lun has indeed changed a lot over the years, and many residents of St. Lun's city may get lost in it.

  Tonight, there is a banquet in the palace. I don't know if Miss Skylight is interested in attending. I can help you two to apply for invitation letters, and you can meet many imperial dignitaries at the banquet. If His Majesty knows that Miss Weatherlight is attending, he may summon you. "

  Has the trial started now?

  Qing Kong certainly knew that Jared was an eyeliner placed by Emperor Augustine's side, and he had the duty of both monitoring and wooing him.

  Jared said that the court banquet is held irregularly, and its function is to provide a relatively relaxed and informal communication environment for the imperial dignitaries and celebrities. It is conducive to solving many disputes, and it is a platform to ease factional conflicts.

   Members of the royal family do not attend banquets like this.

  Jared Knight used this kind of banquet as a test, just to see how ambitious the elf Qingkong is for power. If she is keen to attend the party, it will be very simple to win her over.

   Qingkong came to the imperial capital this time to play a front stand for the branch of the Oulu Academy and also for Luke.

  Emperor Augustine sent his royal knights to Rage City to meet them in a royal airship, and his intentions were already very obvious.

  Divide the relationship between Clear Sky, Meteor, and Agatha, and hold this super force in your own hands.

  So as long as the clear sky is stable, the others can be stable.

  Qing Kong covered his mouth with his hands and yawned slightly, and then said: "In the past few days in Rage City, I have been dealing with things that are inconvenient for Chief Inspector Meteor, and I am very tired!

  And anyone who knows me knows that I don't like this kind of boring entertainment. I want to rest first, and then go to see Dean Willred...

  By the way, if you are fine, help me make an appointment with His Highness Agatha. I haven't seen her for a long time, and this time I helped her so much in Raging Waves City, she should give me some rewards. "

   Qingkong and Agatha are very close in their words, as if they are really best friends whom they haven’t seen for a long time.

  Jared Knight was not really fascinated by the appearance of the clear sky, he kept in mind the instructions of Emperor Augustine. One of them is to confirm the extent of the relationship between the elf Qingkong and the eldest princess.

   Now it seems that their relationship is indeed unusual.

  Yeah... It must not be an ordinary relationship of trust to be able to be placed by the eldest princess in the city of Raging Waves to cooperate with Meteor's strategy secretly.

  Jared did not show any abnormal emotions, he still said with a bright smile: "Indeed, this kind of court banquet is actually very boring, and there is nothing to regret if you don't participate.

  After returning to the residence, Miss Skylight rested first. I will send someone to contact Principal Will Reed, and I will also send someone to inform His Royal Highness the princess of your arrival..."

   At this moment, the airship shook and landed safely.

  The hatch door opened, and a wind with a breath different from that of Raging Waves City blew in.

  Qing Kong stood up and walked towards the cabin door. Jenny wanted to get her luggage, but Jared picked it up first.

   There was a carriage waiting outside the airship, and the horses of the knights were also parked around the carriage under the guidance of their followers, and the team expanded again.

  After the clear sky and Jenny got into the carriage, Jared the knight led the way, and the knight team escorted the carriage to Zijinhua Avenue with the banner of the golden shield royal family.

  People along the road thought it was the prince and princess traveling, and they all avoided to both sides of the street.

  The grand treatment made Jennifer, who was sitting in the carriage, very excited.

  "Professor Qingkong... greeted by the royal airship, and escorted by the royal knights in the royal carriage. If you are not an elf, I suspect that you are the princess left by Augustine the Great among the people.

  Just like the stories written in bards, the romantic emperor met a beautiful commoner woman while traveling in micro clothes. Two people..."

Qingkong was afraid that Jennifer would say something that would give people goosebumps, so she stopped her and said, "The bard you said is a story from a hundred years ago, right? Nowadays, the wonderful encounter between a domineering factory owner and a female worker on the assembly line is popular. The story is a hundred years old. Nothing progressed.

  Jen Ferni, Imperial Capital is different from Raging City, and even more different from Oulu Academy. You have to watch out for everyone here, including Jared who keeps looking at me and you.

  In the future, no matter who asks about my situation, you must tell me what you told them. I don't blame you for what you said, just want to know what you said? "

  Jen Ferney was made nervous by Qingkong's words: "Professor Qingkong, I won't tell anyone about you."

   "Relax, relax..." Qing Kong comforted Jenferne: "There is nothing about me that is not good to tell people, and if someone wants to pry into my secrets, there is always a way to ask something from the people around me.

  Although you were born more than a hundred years ago, your heart is still an academy student. No matter what you say to others, I know how to deal with it. Of course, you have to tell me what others tell you, especially what they told you not to tell me..."

  Jen Ferney had a weird expression on her face after listening.

   "Professor Qingkong, the imperial capital seems to be very dangerous."

"In Oulu College, we are facing a group of disobedient students who only want to make trouble. In the imperial capital, we are facing a group of conspirators who live by harming and deceiving people. The opponent has raised a few levels , I can only be more careful."

  Jen Ferney looked out the window again, looking at the people standing respectfully on the edge of the road, her expression was no longer as excited as before.

   "Professor Qingkong, I want to go back to Oulu Academy."

  Qing Kong said melancholy: "I want to go back too, but there is more than one Oulu Academy in the world. Oulu Academy has been closed in that small subspace for a long time, and it is an attempt for us to come out.

  Whether to change the status quo or maintain the status quo, action and practice can tell us which way can make Oulu College always be at the forefront of the world. "

   Jenny stared at the clear sky.

   "Professor Qingkong, what you said is too profound. Although I can't understand it, I know you are definitely right, and I will support you unconditionally."
