Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 404 Assassins

  The unique resources of Sky City count as the first batch of compensation, and one-tenth of the total output will be given every year in the future.

   Is this compensation?

   This is a tribute!

  Archangel Gold said a little angrily: "Marquis Meteor, we are sincere enough to talk about compensation this time. If you talk like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue talking."

  Luke said with a smile: "Negotiation is that you make your price, I make mine, and if you can't reach an agreement, you will take a step back. In short, the compensation given by Sky City is far from what we expected.

  The Moonlight Royal Court reunited the survivors of the World Tree. For thousands of years, they were isolated from the mainstream world because the World Tree was destroyed. As the embodiment of justice, Sky City should feel guilty. "

  Archangel Gold calmed down a little, and said: "Sky City will add another 50% to the donated resources. In addition, we can give away ten tons of gold."

  Luke is of course not satisfied, he feels that Sky City needs to be squeezed again.

Qingkong said at this time: "Let's end today's meeting here. I have a secret art class that I need to take. Please Archangel Gold report our appeal to the Archangel Conference in Sky City. If you are really sincere, please let us know." make me feel.

  I hope that next time we meet, I can feel the angel’s true repentance, instead of compensation in name but humiliation in reality.

  Jenfernie, send them out! "

   "Yes, Miss Skylight." Jennifer turned to Archangel Gold and Luke and said, "Archangel, Lord Marquis, please go back!"

  Luke stood up and walked out.

  Archangel Gold did not expect the first meeting to end so hastily. Seeing that Luke had already walked out, he had no choice but to salute to the clear sky with the crown of thorns before leaving.

  Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, Luke complained, "I have already reminded me very clearly that the compensation given by Sky City is far from our psychological expectations. In the end, you only increased by 50%."

   "There are still ten tons of gold!" Archangel Gold reminded.

"Ten tons of gold!" Luke showed a mocking smile, and took out an Imperial Mark from his pocket: "The empire has banned the circulation of precious metal currencies, and most countries in the world are popularizing banknotes. The value of ten tons of gold, the imperial system The currency board can print it overnight."

  Archangel Gold looked at the banknote in Luke's hand, and asked suspiciously: "Since this banknote can be printed casually, how can it have such a high value."

"This starts with..." Luke wanted to talk about the role of paper money in the country's rule and economy, but he quickly realized: "You won't understand right away. Now we are talking about compensation... This meeting, I have already Do your best. After you go back, discuss with the other archangels what to discuss in the next meeting. Be more prepared, and don’t let the Queen of the Clear Sky have no desire to continue the conversation.”

  Archangel Gold asked: "When is the next meeting?"

"Wait for my notice..." Luke looked out the window of the carriage: "Tonight, Her Majesty the Queen of the Clear Sky is going to meet the Elder Shepherd of the Shining Gold people. Tomorrow I will go back to Rage City, and it will take five to ten days to come back. .

   Make an appointment at that time. "

   "Tonight, Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky wants to meet the Elder Mu of the Shuojin people?"

   "Yes! The Shuojin people are very eager to compensate for the destruction of the World Tree. They will set up a branch of the World Bank in the Moonlight Royal Court and bring in a very considerable investment, which is enough to bring the grassland of the ancestors from the wild to modern civilization.

  The sincerity of the Shuojin people is even more sincere than that of Sky City. "

   Luke Pua with the Archangel Gold.

  Archangel Gold was really nervous.

  He knew that the Shuojin people opened the World Bank branch in the Moonlight Royal Court, and the purpose must be to get close to the World Tree and find a way to transform the World Tree into an artifact.

  Earlier research will have more hope of exclusive artifacts.

  I had already wasted an opportunity today, and as a result, I delayed my next meeting with the Queen of the Clear Sky for many days.

  If the temple cannot be confirmed to be built in the Moonlight Royal Court, Sky City will become extremely passive in obtaining artifacts.

   "Can't you arrange my second meeting with Her Majesty the Clear Sky Queen as soon as possible?"

  Luke said helplessly: "I think so too, but the empire is at war. The Raging City fleet will go north along the coast to compete with the Yate County United Navy for sea control, and the army formed by Raging City will also go to the northern border to join the war by land.

  As the Governor of Raging Waves City, I must meet my soldiers, and I may not be able to see them next time. "

  The war stimulated Archangel Gold to recall some bad memories.

   "Yes, we may not be able to see you next time. I wish Lord Marquis a smooth trip to Raging Waves City, and I hope you will return to Shenglun City as soon as possible."

   At this time, the Thorn Crown, who had been silent for a while, said: "Marquis, Lord Marquis...can you please intercede to Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky and return my angel wings to me.

  I have realized my mistake and deeply apologize for offending Her Majesty the Queen. "

  Beautiful Crown of Thorns said these words with some sincerity.

  Clear Sky knocked away his arrogance, and the destruction of the holy relics of faith calmed his fanatical heart. This time he completely let go of his posture and apologized to Qing Kong, which instead allowed him to unload the burden he had been carrying all along.

   One enlightenment made him think through many things.

  Archangel Gold also interceded for the Crown of Thorns: "Can you persuade Her Majesty Clear Sky to change to other punishments? Angel wings are too important for an angel!"

   "Yes." Luke agreed: "But as far as I know, the Queen of the Clear Sky has planned several important experiments for the angel wings. After the experiments are completed, there is not much use for her to keep the angel wings."

  Beautiful Crown of Thorns asked eagerly: "Will the experiment hurt my angel wings?"

   "This... I don't know. It may suffer some damage, or it may become stronger. If you are willing to be a volunteer for human experimentation, the chances of success in the experiment will be very high."

  Archangel Gold asked: "What experiment?"

   "Secret!" Luke asked the crown of thorns: "What is your choice? Help the Queen of the Clear Sky to complete the experiment, and the queen may reinstall the stronger angel wings for you as soon as she is happy.

  Of course, experiments are dangerous, and your safety cannot be guaranteed. "

  The strongest form of Clear Sky can give birth to Angel Light Wings, and the advanced level of Angel Light Wings is Blazing Sky Wings. It's just that Luke traveled to this world before he advanced to the Angel Light Wing of Clear Sky.

  According to the manufacturing process of the Blazing Wings collected by Luke, the production of the Blazing Wings must be completed first. It is the sacred energy that intensifies the angel wings to completely burn the angel feathers, forming an inextinguishable holy flame.

  Then dye the angel's light wings through a ceremony, and finally release a large-scale holy flame to the sky. As long as the sky is successfully dyed, the production of the blazing wings is considered complete.

  Era game characters can be strengthened endlessly. At the beginning, Luke prepared to make Blazing Wings for Clear Sky to welcome the new version update. Now Luke is going to make Blazing Wings for Clear Sky to welcome the early arrival of the five ancient civilizations.

   There is a certain chance of failure in the production of Blazing Wings. If the owner of Angel Wings is willing to participate in the production, the success rate can be increased. If Crown of Thorns is willing to take risks to participate in the experiment, Blazing Wings can reward him as a reward.

  The Crown of Thorns didn't think too much: "I am willing to participate in the experiment. For the angel wings, I can do anything."

  Luke reminded: "It is a volunteer for human experiments. Neither I nor Her Majesty the Queen of the Sky forced you. You did it voluntarily."

   "I do it voluntarily."

  Luke said to the Archangel Gold: "You heard...the crown of thorns will be handed over to the Queen of the Clear Sky for a while."

  Archangel Gold didn't know what experiment Qingkong was doing, and he wanted to use angel wings. This is not a good thing for Sky City. If the Crown of Thorns participates in the experiment, it may be possible to hear some news.

   "Okay, I allow the Crown of Thorns to participate in Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky's experiments."

  Luke stopped the carriage and said to the crown of thorns: "You go to the Museum of Clear Sky by yourself. Show your intentions, put away the arrogance of the angel, and do whatever the queen tells you to do."

   "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

  The Crown of Thorns opened the door and jumped off the carriage, and ran towards the Clear Sky Museum.

   The carriage restarts.

  Archangel Gold warned: "I hope you will not do anything that endangers Sky City."

   "Of course not! And... if the experiment is successful, it will be a good thing for Sky City. In the future, any angel who wants to increase his strength or change the style of his angel wings can come to the Queen of the Sky."

   "This doesn't seem like a good thing."

   "Trust me, it's a good thing."

  Luke sent Archangel Gold back to the palace, and then returned to his mansion to prepare for the dinner.

  Different from the secret visit of the angel to Qingkong, this time the meeting between the Shuojin people and the Queen of Qingkong is public.

  Not only will all the Shinojin missions attend the dinner, but many officials from the imperial court will also come.

   This is the first time Meteor has held a banquet since it moved into this house. The dignitaries of the entire imperial capital tried their best to get invitations to get to know the new powerful minister of the empire.

  At night, there was a lot of traffic outside the residence of the Marquis of Raging Waves, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to the banquet.

  The entire Marquis Mansion is brightly lit inside and outside, and the number of imperial agents has increased several times to protect the safety here.

  Everyone who entered the Marquis's Mansion was carefully checked for identity, and many people who tried to get in with forged documents were found out.

   On the side of the road one block away from the Marquis of Raging Waves Mansion, in a freight truck parked, several heavily armed men hid in the compartment.

  Under the dim light, the leader is Nightingale.

   After rhythmic knocking sounds, a thin man wearing a felt hat opened the compartment door and quickly jumped in.

   "Miss Nightingale, there are imperial spies everywhere around Meteorite's Marquis Mansion, and they check their documents very carefully, making it very difficult for us to sneak in.

   Not to mention assassinating Meteor under heavy protection. "

  Nightingale sat in the innermost part of the carriage, polishing the dagger in her hand with a millstone.

   "Usually, the Bureau of Secret Affairs protects Meteor more closely. It will be difficult to have a better chance than tonight. Only by killing Meteor will Prince Alec have a chance to come back."

   "But we have not received a direct order from Prince Alec."

  Nightingale waved her hand, and the dagger stopped in front of the man's eyes after a flash of lightning: "Do you doubt that I have falsely passed on Prince Alec's order? Can the prince personally issue such an order?

   Regardless of success or failure, this assassination has nothing to do with Prince Alec, do you understand? "

   "Understood!" Facing the dagger that almost touched his eyeball, the man replied timidly.

   "Do you all understand?"

   "Understood!" Everyone replied.

  Nightingale stretched out her hand, and the electric chain pulled the dagger back into her hand.

  She explained to the assassins she organized with a relaxed tone: "Someone in the court sent news for Prince Alec that His Majesty may have passed away. The queen supervises the country, and it is very likely that the queen, Meteor, and Agatha jointly acted to steal the country.

   The person sitting on the throne should be our loyal Highness, but His Highness was trapped in the New Moon Oasis.

  As long as we kill Meteor, the official system of Rage City will collapse, and the queen will have no support. The ministers of the court will welcome His Highness back to the imperial capital, and our Highness is the emperor of the empire.

  And we will all be named nobles, even if we die, the nobles will be inherited by our family. "

  All the assassins said together: "I am willing to die for His Royal Highness Prince Alec!"

"Very good!" Nightingale rejoiced at the high morale: "The Marquis's mansion is heavily guarded, but it won't trouble us. There are a lot of people going to the banquet tonight, so we can grab an official invitation letter. The difficult part is how to get close to the meteorite." , and deal a fatal blow.

  I have a plan..."

  Nightingale took out a topographical map of the Marquis's Mansion, and the assassins gathered in a circle, waiting for Nightingale to assign tasks.

  But Nightingale noticed something strange, she quickly scanned everyone's faces, frowned and said, "Why is there an extra person?"

  Is there more than one person?

  The assassins looked at each other, and they all noticed something was wrong.

  How eight people became nine.

  But when they carefully distinguished, they found that... they didn't know who was the extra one. All the faces were familiar, and they were assassins personally selected by Nightingale.

   No repetitions!

How is this possible.

  If someone pretends to be one of them, there should be two identical faces.

  But why there is obviously one more person, and that person is right in front of you, but you don't know who it is.

   Mind-affecting!

Nightingale stretched out her dagger and put it on the neck of the man on her right, and said, "An outsider has sneaked in, and he exerted a mental influence on us, making us unable to see him clearly. Everyone, control the person next to you, and let's get rid of him together." He found it."

  As soon as the assassins heard it, they drew their weapons and put them against the throats of their comrades on the right.

   Nightingale chanted a spirit strengthening spell in an attempt to free herself from the influence of the spirit. She closed her eyes and opened them again... There were still nine people, and no matter how I identified them, I couldn't distinguish the extra person.

   Who is the extra one!

   "I ask questions, you answer, I know who is right and who is wrong. Starting with Xi Ke..."

  Nightingale asked everyone a question and got the correct answer.

How is this possible!

  At this moment, someone said, "Miss Nightingale, why did you only ask seven questions?"

   "Did I only ask seven questions?" Nightingale's expression became more nervous: "I obviously asked all of you one by one, and I didn't miss a single one."

   "Miss Nightingale, I checked, and you really only asked seven questions."

   "Yes, Miss Nightingale, I also checked, but only seven questions were asked."

  Nightingale asked: "Who among the people you control didn't answer?"

   Silent...
