By the time the Yorktown ships anchored through the canal to the docks outside the Imperial Capital, news of Yorktown's autonomy had not yet reached the Imperial Capital, and the four thousand expelled tax collectors had not returned to the Empire.

The imperial capital is still a peaceful atmosphere, no one will worry that the fight with the Stuart in the west will affect the smooth flow of the canal, no one will worry that the turbulent northern regions will cause a shortage of daily necessities in the imperial capital, and no one is worried that the new Duchy of Baptiste and the Duchy of Castile will fight, affecting the grain from the south to the imperial capital along the railway.

The people of the imperial capital always live their lives proudly, and they don't even care about the empire losing the middle of the New World, which is not as worrying them as the rising prices of purple cabbage, cabbage and pork.

Jacques didn't want to stay in the imperial capital, but as soon as he got off the ship, three well-dressed young men came to him, presented a document, and stood quietly waiting for Jacques to read it.

The paperwork was simple, only a few lines, no wonder the three of them were waiting here for Jacques' reply.

The letter turned out to be written by François, saying that Jacques was welcome to the imperial capital and invited him to his mansion.

It must have been him who had arranged for people to guard Jacques at various traffic arteries in advance.

The dignified prince actually used this method to block people.

Jacques didn't care, since he had sent someone from the Investigation Bureau to wait for him, there must be something important. 、

The group did not follow the visitor directly to the inner city court, but first went to the Eagle Hotel of Huerdo, and asked the young men of the Investigation Bureau to go back and report the news.

Unexpectedly, not long after the break, Mustafa, a young man who had just become the lobby foreman, ran up and knocked on the door.

"Miss Lily, Mr. Jacques, someone is looking for you!"

Jacques opened the door and saw Mustafa running profusely sweating, but he also guessed who was visiting, and just asked, "Where are the people?"

"In ...... In the restaurant. ”

When Jacques arrived at the restaurant, he found that the entire inn had been cleared, and only François was sitting at the table with his back to the door.

Jacques stepped forward in a few steps and sat down at the table, "Long time no see!"

"Long time no see!"

"You're looking for me?"

"Hmm!"

"What's the matter?"

The conversation between the two was very flat, neither like a friend they hadn't seen in a long time, nor like a partner on a date.

François focused on fiddling with a large ring on his ring finger and whispering, "Can you come with me like last time?"

Jacques remembered what François had called the mysterious place in the hands of the royal family.

If he refuses now, François won't jump out of a few bands of legionnaires to encircle himself with a wave of his hand, right?

François couldn't have done such a thing.

"Can I ask specifically what I can get out of it?"

"Perception and power, but most people can only gain the perception of source energy. François replied.

Jacques, who can already be regarded as an expert in ruins exploration, can judge from the fragments of information sporadically exposed by François that the mysterious place that François said should be a ruins of the beastmaster whose entrance is controlled by the royal family, and there are many perceptions, and the gift of power is relatively small, and its founder may be the same as the creator of the ruins on the outskirts of Medis, hoping that more excellent descendants can be cultivated through the ruins to take care of future humans.

Unlike the inheritance of Lei, quantity does not focus on quality. Chase the book

In fact, the inheritance is no longer of much significance to Jacques, he has found his own way, there are so few transcendents in the chaos system, and the chance of hitting it is too low. Moreover, Jacques has seen Dameng, a chaotic transcendent who has reached the pinnacle of this world's power, and his mind has been opened, he believes that he will definitely take his own path well, why do you have to take the risk to spy on other people's paths, and not give energy in vain.

In the sealed space of the big dream, Jacques obtained the energy infusion for nothing, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he was very yearning for this way of "taking shortcuts".

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Fat Orange reminded him: "Ask if it's in the inner circle of the Foggy Mountains." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the mysterious place you mentioned can't be in the inner perimeter of the Foggy Mountains, right?" asked Jacques.

François was shocked when he heard this, even though he usually dealt with big and small affairs, and had already practiced a "big heart", but his hands trembled unconsciously.

This is already a disguised admission.

"Where do you know?" was revealed anyway, and François asked simply, "How do you know?

Jacques shook his head and replied, "Naturally, I'm not, probably still a little contradictory to that organization, some unclear relationships and blood debts. ”

Jacques said vaguely, and the real situation naturally could not be said.

François was silent for a long time before he said: "That mysterious place is indeed surrounded by the Misty Mountains, and one thing you need to know is that our royal family is not the only one who can enter it, they can also enter that organization, everyone enters through different entrances, but in it we may meet, if you have a grudge against them, it is a good opportunity to take revenge." So, would you like to help me?"

Jacques thought to himself that it would be more than a year later anyway, so what if he agreed, he discussed it with Fat Orange and agreed.

François was overjoyed, took Jacques' hand and said, "Great, how about we leave in three days?"

Jacques was a little confused, three days?

No, according to the Mithril Society, it should be more than a year before the inheritance land in the inner perimeter of the Foggy Mountains opens!

"Three days?"

"It's only three days!"

"I'm sorry I still have official business...... I want to hand over to Special Envoy Wang Qing'an...... Then go back to the Kingdom of Light......"

"But the opening hours of the mysterious place don't wait for anyone, we need to set off as soon as possible to catch up, it's only less than a month before the opening time, I was waiting for you in the imperial capital, and this is delaying until now, otherwise I would have set off a week ago, and there is a lot more time. ”

Jacques and Fat Orange whispered for a while before agreeing to François's invitation.

Back in the room, the others heard that they were going to a new ruin, and they all said that they were very calm, where is the fat orange and can't go?

Only Marianne was excited, the last time she went to the ruins of Medis, Marianne was left outside the ruins because she was still an awakened person, and she went back to learn from the pain, and she broke through by pouring potions to become an enlightened person, and this time it was probably another opportunity to enter and adventure with everyone.

Three days passed, and before departure, Hunter Dawater, the old owner of Huerdo's Eagle, accepted Lily's suggestion to go to Tavare to retire, at least there were no cold winters, the climate was close to the southern part of the New World, and there was an old friend like Mr. Naselli as his companion.

The Eagle of Huerdo was given to the innkeeper Gustav, with the only condition that the original name would continue to operate. The mestizo Aboriginal man, who had worked at the inn for twenty years, was so excited that he didn't know how to thank his former boss.

The team of Jacques and others met the prince's team at the agreed place more than ten miles north of the city, and unexpectedly, the entourage of the prince François was very small, except for an old attendant, only two middle-aged grandmasters were accompanied. According to the plan, everyone will take the train after entering the Northern Regions.

After a short walk, they found a carriage with a curtain on it also parked beside the road, and Lily was invited into the carriage by the maid next to the carriage, and after a while, Lily got out of the carriage and was asked to get on the carriage instead of François.

When François got out of the car and everyone set off again, Lily said to Jacques, "It's Claudia in the car." ”

Jacques felt that something was wrong, and with the temperament of the eldest sister Claudia, he didn't ask to go to the mysterious place together.

"She's pregnant. Lily said, "It's a boy, I've searched with my mental powers. I told her about it......"
