Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 252 First meeting

  The meeting of the imperial cabinet that had just been full of rhetoric turned into a family of monarchs and ministers in an instant.

  The officials removed all unnecessary things from the conference table, and laid a map on it. This is a strategic map of the Tedgar Hills, which shows in detail the deployment of the fortresses on the border between the Empire and the Tedgar Hills.

   From the details of the above figures, it can be seen that this map is definitely not made temporarily. Everyone in the empire is fully prepared for this war, but no one dares to let it start easily.

  War together, victory and defeat are beyond the control of the war initiators.

  Emperor Augustine didn't know what role Gabriel played in it, whether he was really foresight to stare at the Celtic Grand Duke, or whether he was afraid that the knife would cut him on the neck and divert the disaster to the south.

  Anyway, since you have to fight, you don't need to think too much about it. It's better to draw out the conflicts in the imperial capital than to explode around him.

  Emperor Augustine listened to Gabriel's analysis of the war, and glanced at Agatha from time to time.

  She listened very carefully, and there was no fear of this big battle in her eyes. As if he was himself when he was young, he had infinite fighting spirit in dealing with any difficulties.

   This Augustine's eagle has stiff wings.

   How wonderful it would be if she were a son!

  Augustine let out a long sigh in his heart, this time he did not deal with Agatha, and when he died... I am afraid that there will be another bloodbath in the imperial court.

  A drizzle fell over the city of St. Lun, and Luke sat on the balcony on the second floor admiring the city in the rain.

  The imperial capital is deep in the interior of the empire, surrounded by heavy industries, and the exhaust gas emitted by the factories is shrouded, so that the sky above the city is always gray. Even if it rains, it can't wash away the smog, but instead adds a sense of poetry and painting.

  Luke drank his tea and let the raindrops brought by the wind hit his clothes. He knew that his days of leisure were numbered, the civil war of the Golden Shield Empire had started ahead of schedule in his own hands, and the plot had been changed even more seriously.

  Will this empire, already suffering from internal and external troubles, be torn apart like the plot?

   Fortunately, Augustine the Great is still alive.

   Fortunately, he snatched Raging Waves City from the hands of the new nobles.

  The future is like this hazy city, getting more and more exciting!

"Chief Inspector!" Kailinna came to the balcony in a panic, and said in an excited tone, "His Royal Highness invites you to the Tulip Manor. You have been waiting in the imperial capital for so long, and finally you can see Her Royal Highness." up.

  Captain Shelley is forming a team, we can start at any time. "

  If it wasn't for showing restraint in front of the Chief Inspector, Karina would have clapped her hands for joy. The Chief Inspector has been in the imperial capital for so long, and if His Majesty and the Eldest Princess do not summon him, it will inevitably make people think about some bad things.

  Now the eldest princess not only summoned the chief inspector, but the female officer sent also used the word "please".

  Although I don't know why the eldest princess is so grand, it must be a good thing.

  Hearing the news, Luke took a deep breath, then stood up and said loudly: "Go, it's time for us to appear!"

   "Yes, Chief Inspector."

   Shelley has already brought people to prepare the convoy.

  Since they came to the imperial capital, they have been strictly forbidden to go out at will, and these days have suffocated them. This time the eldest princess summoned the chief inspector, it was raining and the sky was clear, and she felt elated.

  The imperial spies from Raging City stood proudly beside their vehicles one by one. When Luke came out, all of them drew their swords and stood in front of them.

   "Chief Inspector, please speak up!"

  In the rain, all the imperial agents stood in a standard military posture, motionless.

  Sister Shelley just explained.

  Let the people watching around see the power of our Chief Inspector, and the power and prestige of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Raging Waves City.

   Sure enough, these imperial spies who had killed the abyss mage, the sheriff of Raging City, and the rebellious new nobles were full of murderous aura, spreading along the street against the rain.

   Luke stops, and Kaleena holds a black umbrella for him.

   His eyes swept over his subordinates, and at the end of the line there was a truck carrying boiling water, and the sandpaper had the rare consciousness to stand in the rain.

  The encounters these days let them know that this trip to the imperial capital was not as good as they imagined. Although they don't know what's going on, they know that they can only rely on the chief inspector here, on this group.

  Luke's head hurts.

   Those who know the inside story know that this is to visit the eldest princess, but those who don't know think they are going to attack the palace.

   Shelley, Shelley... You've been with me for so long, don't you think you've got some brains?

  Luke looks at Shelley.

  The woman stood holding the gun, very satisfied with her opponent's performance, very proud.

"Ahem..." The morale of the subordinates is so good, they always want to say something: "It's very imposing, and it is worthy of being an imperial agent who has repeatedly solved major cases in Rage City. This time we came to the imperial capital to serve the empire. I hope you can still show your strength. The spirit of Raging Waves City, wipe out all enemies that endanger the safety of the empire."

   Pisco shouted: "Serve the Empire! Serve the Princess! Serve the Inspector!"

   "Serve for the empire! Serve for the eldest princess! Serve for the chief inspector!"

   Luke looks at Karina, she's shouting so hard... she must have taught it.

  What kind of team am I leading!

   "Open the way!"

   At the order of the chief inspector, all the imperial agents boarded the car together.

  Bike motorcycles opened the way, and the team roared forward on the street against the rain. At the front of the car, the flag of the Empire and the blindfold flag of the Bureau of Secret Affairs were flying, and the whistle blew all the way. The convoy of the Chief Inspector of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Raging Wave City galloped aggressively towards the Tulip Manor in the Imperial City.

  At this time, Agatha was also standing on the balcony of the dormitory, admiring the city in the rain.

  Her heart is extremely complicated.

   There is concern about the still missing sister.

  There are thoughts about the imminent war facing the empire.

  There is a hesitation about his future position in the court.

  There are expectations and guesses about the person I have been communicating with for a long time, but this is the first time I meet him.

  What kind of person is he? What does it look like?

  What kind of future will he bring to the empire?

   "Your Highness!" The personal lady called Agatha softly: "The spies on the Copper Mulberry Avenue have sent news. Chief Inspector Meteor is already on his way here... very imposing!"

   Agatha looked back at the female officer, and found that she seemed to be holding back a smile, so she asked, "Is there momentum? Why is she so aggressive?"

The female officer told Agatha the spy's statement, and finally couldn't help saying: "According to the performance of Chief Inspector Meteorite in Raging Waves City, he should not make such a mistake. Presumably he came here with such a high profile, there must be other Use it."

  Agatha couldn't figure out why Meteor was so high-profile. He didn't know that such arrogance would cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, and make His Majesty, who was already suspicious, even more suspicious.

   "Meteor must have his intentions for doing this! Unexpectedly, it has always been his style of doing things. What kind of clothes do you think I should meet him?"

   Agatha went to the dressing table and sat down.

  The female officer took off the hair ornament on her head, untied her bun, and carefully combed Agatha's smooth and beautiful blond hair with a horn comb.

   "Your Highness, you never asked me this kind of question before. Your heart... is a little flustered."

  Agatha looked at herself in the mirror. She tilted her chin up to show her majesty, but her eyes showed unconfident astigmatism.

   "If you knew what he really did, you would be like me. I...can't treat him like a subordinate; I can't make him feel that I have to depend on him.

  This guy can make the empire look like this without going out. You didn't see Gabriel at the imperial cabinet meeting, he was just a marionette, playing with the fate of the empire under the control of the meteor. "

   The more Agatha spoke, the angrier she became.

  The female officer said with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't understand court affairs, but I know Inspector Meteor's loyalty to you made him refuse His Majesty's solicitation. Your Majesty took out Princess Dai...

Sorry!

  We will definitely find Princess Del. "

   "Loyal? He is very loyal!" Agatha, who knew what Meteor's loyalty is, couldn't say anything, so she had to go back to the question just now: "What do you think I should wear?"

   "The uniforms of the Bureau of Secret Affairs are too formal, and court dresses are easy to distance. Why don't you wear casual clothes. Be more easy-going and elegant, and less cold and sharp.

   Chief Inspector Meteor is not even afraid of His Majesty, since the coercion cannot suppress him, let this meeting be more ordinary. Even if Chief Inspector Meteor said something offensive, it was easy to deal with. "

   Agatha considered the female officer's suggestion.

  When I met with Meteor, it was really possible to talk about something that both parties could not control. The more casual the atmosphere of the conversation, the easier it is to maneuver.

   "Okay, listen to you. The meteorite will arrive soon, hurry up."

   "Yes, Your Highness." The female officer asked the maid to prepare the clothes, and continued to comb Agatha's hair.

  When Luke's convoy reached Tulip Manor, the rain just stopped. After the briefing, he took Kailinna, Shelley, and Pisco to follow the guards inside.

  In the manor surrounded by high walls, tulips grow everywhere. The water droplets after the rain stay on the petals and branches, making the flowers more delicate and beautiful. The moist water vapor is inhaled into the nose with the fragrance of flowers, and the whole person becomes more energetic.

   Shelley and Pisco whispered in the back, and from time to time let out mutual understanding laughter.

   What a shame!

  Luke regretted bringing the two of them in, but Pisco begged all the way to meet the eldest princess.

  Enter the main building through the lobby, go up to the second floor and walk through the winding corridors.

   After waiting for a while while eating tea in a living room, Agatha finally walked in.

   Luke salutes Agatha with his men.

  Pisco almost cried out when he saw Agatha's clothes, but Shelley poked him secretly from behind. He kept hinting to Shelley with his mouth open...

  When I met the Chief Inspector for the first time, in the magic video he played, the princess was wearing this suit.

  We finally met this time, and you still wear this outfit... You don’t treat us as outsiders.

  Shelley smiled and gave Pisco a small look, indicating that she had already seen it.

   Moreover, the two of them are still speaking some polite phrases, pretending to be quite alike. Do you wish to drive us away quickly, and then hug us.

Hey Hey…

   Shelley and Pisco hold back a laugh, and then…

   "I have some important national affairs to discuss with Inspector Meteor, you all go out!"

   The follower who came with Agatha quit immediately.

   Shelley and Piscoe wink at Luke and go out with Kaelina.

  The door is closed.

  The atmosphere is slightly awkward.

After a while, Agatha picked up a topic at random: "Just now, Shelley, and... the secret agent who should be called Pisco, they have weird expressions. And they made strange expressions when they left. That's not a secret agent." The secret language of the intelligence bureau...is it your internal secret language?"

   "This..." Luke secretly made up his mind that he must strictly discipline these two crouching dragon and phoenix chicks after returning, it's too worrying. Luke casually made up a reason: "Things between the two of them are a bit complicated. Shelley is a transhuman from an extraordinary species, and has some defects, especially the way the brain thinks about problems is very different.

  Pisco is also a guy with a bit of a brain.

  They sometimes make some incomprehensible actions, if they offend His Highness, please don't blame them. "

   Agatha knew Shelley. She had seen Shelley's case when she first took over the Bureau of Secret Affairs, and she thought it was a talent. As a result, after recruiting, I found that it was indeed a talent.

  So they threw Shelley to the Secret Affairs Bureau in Cape District of Raging Waves City, and asked her to disgust the people of Raging Waves City.

Agatha invited Luke to sit down, thinking of what Shelley had done, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "It's hard to imagine that Shelley will be so valuable to you. You may not know that I asked her to do the first The case, what did she do to me..."

"I can imagine it, and I have experienced it myself." Luke was very relaxed facing Agatha. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea, talking about his own experience: "When I first arrived in Raging City, I was killed by snow. Lai caught it. At that time, I was tied to a chair, and the people around me who were also arrested had their heads blown off.

  In order to survive, I had to tell a lie. "

   Agatha did not expect that the topic she casually opened to ease the atmosphere would lead to such crucial information. She didn't make any sound, for fear that Meteor would stop talking.

   "I said, I am their new inspector, so I became a meteor."

  Luke stopped talking after filling up his tea.

  Agatha couldn't help asking: "Where is the real meteor?"

   "He was shot and killed by Shelley on his first day in office."

   "Huh? No one doubts you!"

   "No, so far everyone thinks that I am a real meteor. Besides you, there is also Miss Skylight."

   "This... is amazing. What did you do later, and what is it for?"

  "What happened has already happened, and it doesn't make any sense to ask why. I tell you how I became a meteorite, just to let you know that I was forced to do nothing and have no other intentions.

  It's like I'm sitting here now, and you meet me with this kind of clothing and treatment. Neither of us wanted to do such a thing, but various factors pushed us to do so, and we had to face each other in this way.

  Your Highness, I want to know, are you ready? "
