"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Lux stopped outside the main hall and spoke, not loudly, but he knew that His Majesty inside was now putting his perception on his side, and even the smallest voice could be heard by him. (6) Eight (6) Eight (6) Read (6) Book, .□.≠o

"Yu knows, the Dream Lord's people should have looked for you, right?" Emperor Will asked slowly.

“...... Truly. After a few seconds of silence, Lux admitted directly, and then asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty thinks that I will betray you like Ferrug?"

"No, you're not the same guy as Ferrug. That person's own personality is not a die-hard loyalist, and after knowing that he was recruited by the Dream Country, Yu is actually not very surprised. Emperor Will chuckled and said, "Compared to him, Lukes, Yu is still quite optimistic about you, but now I want to hear your thoughts." ”

"What do you think now...... "A little complicated color flashed in Lukes' eyes: "If it weren't for His Majesty's promotion, I'm afraid my ability wouldn't have grown to the current level." I still have some principles of gratitude and retribution, but at least for now, I still want to continue to do things for Your Majesty. ”

"For now...... Is it?" Emperor Will's tone was a little heavy.

After waiting for a while, Lux suddenly took the initiative to speak again: "Your Majesty...... If I really have the idea of going elsewhere in the future, will you stop me...... Or rather, are you going to sanction me?"

"Sanctions?hahahaha......" Emperor Will did not get angry, but laughed out loud, and the laughter revealed a majestic and heroic momentum, which shook the clouds above the hall as if they had dispersed a lot.

After a long time, the laughter gradually stopped.

"Lukes, you have to remember - only sinners who have broken the law and endangered the interests of the empire are eligible to be punished by Yu!"

“...... I understand. When Lux heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and then he continued to walk, and soon left the palace.

He had understood the meaning of Emperor Weir's words. Ferrug is a good example, and Emperor Will does not intend to hold his former colleague accountable, because he has turned his 'betrayal' into a 'deal' with a valuable new technological achievement, and Emperor Will has not rejected the deal.

Since it is a transaction, it is natural that there is no longer any accountability. The loss of benefits caused to the empire by Ferrug's unauthorized departure has been compensated by himself.

Of course, there is also the most important point in this, that is, the camp that Ferrug is now in is the Dream Country, and he is protected by the Dream Country. Emperor Will was unwilling to give up the current good relationship between the Empire and the Dream Realm for the sake of his own people, especially when the other party had already offered a compensatory step.

Therefore, Emperor Weir also followed this step and put an end to this matter.

If Lux also wanted to leave, Emperor Will knew that he would probably not be able to stay, after all, the strange teleportation technique of the Dream Realm was really unguardable, and taking strong measures would only make these subordinates change their minds in advance.

So he followed Lukes's words and revealed a compromise - you want to leave too? Yes, you can, but you must be prepared with a redemption chip that is enough to appease the anger of the previous lord!

Moreover, because digging into the corners of people is unkind after all, the tolerance of the empire must also have a limit. If the Dream Nation had gone too far in this regard, Emperor Will wouldn't have been so talkative all the time.

Just like now, if Lux wants to leave in the future, he needs to take out the redemption compensation, but the value must be based on Ferrug's 'airship' design materials to be able to calm the anger of Emperor Will and the Empire.

Of course, this also depends on the situation, if the dream country can be strong to the point that the empire will not dare to offend one day in the future, then the kingdom will snatch the talents of the empire, and the empire will no longer dare to have opinions.

In the end, everything still depends on strength.

......

The Eastern Continent of St. Angel's Church, the capital city of Mariatier, is one of the most splendid and gorgeous cathedrals on the top of the Holy Hill in the center of the city.

In the Papal Chamber, which was covered with a red carpet in Phnom Penh, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Light Church gathered in the hall for the first time in a long time, all of them were wearing white robes embroidered with noble gold silk, sitting on both sides of the Pope's Chamber, looking at the silver-armored knight standing at the foot of the steps of the hall who was holding rice paper and chanting aloud.

“...... The auction is scheduled for the beginning of next month, and this time, the Dream Nation is expected to send out invitations to the vast majority of the countries on the mainland. The above is the latest information transmitted by the investigators stationed in the Niedersles not long ago through the secret telemony technique. ”

After the report, the knight in silver armor consciously retreated to the door of the papal hall, leaving the rest of the space to the church officials to discuss and decide.

When he had withdrawn, the incumbent pope, seated on the papal throne and dressed in a particularly conspicuous red and gold-rimmed robe among a group of whites, raised his scepter, a symbol of his status, and tapped lightly on the floor, breaking the silence in the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you have heard, let's get this topic started. It seems that we can't sit idly by anymore for the behavior of the Dream Realm this time. ”

"Seconded. A white-clothed cardinal nodded, looking around at the sixteen colleagues around: "Although because of the oracle of the Heavenly Realm, we should not be in excessive conflict with the Dream Realm with the close alliance of the Dragon Empire for the time being, but this incident is extraordinary. ”

"You can ignore the others for the time being, but that part of the magic plane must not be left to the chaos of the Dream Realm! ”

The Pope nodded, looked at a white-clothed bishop with a long white beard and should be quite old, and asked in a deep voice, "Goodmila, have you gained anything from the information on the Demon Energy Plane now?"

"My Majesty, I am sorry. Goodmila, the director of the Sacred Word Institute and the leader of the Prophecy Priesthood, who had a remote confrontation with Jiang Yan a few months ago, sighed and shook his head when he heard this: "Since three months ago, our Prophecy Priesthood's detection of the Demon Energy Plane has begun to have problems, and we can no longer predict the information of the remnants of the Demon Energy Clan. And this time it's different from the past, and it's hard to determine whether the other party is still alive or not, whether they are still hidden in the magical plane. ”

"Three months ago...... It's not too far from the time when the Dream Lord founded the country in the Nideres. It may not be a coincidence that something happened sooner rather than later, but something happened after the other party appeared. A white-robed bishop frowned and said his opinion.

"I think so too, the plane passage that links the magic energy plane is located in the depths of the Nederes, and it is unlikely that the people of the dream country will not be able to discover the existence of the channel, and the changes that happened on the side of the magic energy plane may be related to the dream country?"

"Indeed, very suspicious. The Pope looked at Gudmila again: "So, did you foretell anything about this?"

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness Pope, but there's still nothing we can do about the Dream Realm. Goodmila smiled bitterly: "More than three months ago, with the help of the Holy Map and the Holy Song Team, we were barely able to break through the interference of some of the Dragon Empire, so as to get a glimpse of the traces of fate related to the Dream Country, but I don't know why, since the Dream Lord returned from visiting the Northern Continent Wood Spirit Yuan Clan, even with the blessing of the Holy Map's divine power and the full increase of the Holy Song Team, it is difficult for us to get the prophecy revelation again." ”

The Pope was a little disappointed, frowned, and asked, "Can't you get the slightest result?"

"Yes. It's as if the fate of the other party is shielded by an indescribable unknown force, unobservable and untraceable. Goodmila was ashamed and said, "In short, there is nothing we can do about the Holy Word, and if the Pope is desperate for the prophecy to be revealed, he may have to pray to the 'Lord' of the heavenly realm to intervene......"

If it had been any other time, the Pope would have taken Goodmila's proposal, but now, alas, it is not possible. Because of the obstruction of the Dragon Domain, and a few other reasons, the Lord of Light can now ignore this kind of thing.

And without the Lord of Light to make a move, even if Heaven sent other masters to descend, it would not be better than Goodmila, a veteran powerhouse of the Legendary Realm who had refined the method of prophecy.

Since they really can't count on the shortcut of the method of prophecy to directly obtain favorable information, everyone can only look elsewhere.

"This auction, if it is really successfully held by the Dream Country, the other party's fame and influence on the mainland will increase tremendously! So, can you try to stop it?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult, after all, according to the intelligence, the location of their auction this time is in the illusory dream world that does not exist in reality, which is the home of the 'Dream Lord' and countless dependents under his command, and it is difficult for us to interfere with it!"

Someone made a good sounding proposal for this:

"The dream world is difficult to interfere with, so how about starting from the reality side? Presumably, even if it is a dream, it should be supported by a medium as the cornerstone of existence in reality. ”

"Unfortunately, it's hard to do. But the Pope shook his head and vetoed the proposal and looked at Goodmila.

Goodmila understood, and explained to the other whiteclothed bishops who were a little puzzled: "Before the Dream Lord established a kingdom in the Nederes, those dream worlds had already begun to spread widely among the people of the Western Continent, attracting the close attention of the intelligence services of various forces. The Holy Light Church is no exception. At that time, the Dream Lord had not yet formed an alliance with the Empire, and the prophecy of the Prophetic Order's prophecy was not suppressed as it is now, so at that time we had some key information. Among them is part of the truth about the other person's dream world. ”

"In the known information, there is the origin of the existence of the dream world - it is actually a super-large spiritual illusion with a wide range of functions jointly built by countless dream lords and dependents with their own souls as the cornerstone!"

Hearing this, the white bishops almost understood what the Pope had just meant.

In other words, if you want to destroy their dream world from the reality side, you must directly deal with the dream lord's dependents who are the cornerstone of the illusion. The Pope's face was a little helpless: "But according to the past temptations and investigation results, the number of dependents of the Dream Lord is probably an incalculable number. ”

"On the side of the Niderles, we can't move for the time being, after all, it used to be the territory of the Dragon Empire, even if it now belongs to the Dream Realm, if we fight it, the other party will probably not sit idly by...... Moreover, it is also questionable whether the Dream Lord placed the majority of his dependents in the Nideres. Judging from the information obtained from the last time Goodmila had a brief confrontation with them, the other party's hiding places are probably all over the entire Western Continent!"

After a short silence, another white cardinal spoke: "Now that part of the truth of the dream world has been discovered, is there no targeted countermeasure?"

"No, this large spiritual illusion of the other party is not a whole, but is made up of countless independent spiritual illusions, large or small, and the small illusions can be combined and linked to each other to form a large illusion, or they can be separated at any time. Even if you can interfere or even destroy some of them, as long as the other party disconnects the link in time, the rest of the illusions will not be affected. ”

"And most importantly, the Dream Lord's family members all seem to have inherited the Dream Lord's unknown and strange power nature. Including us, most of the forces on the mainland have tried to capture some of the Dream Lord's dependents alive, but none of them seem to be able to decipher the other party's spiritual characteristics. Methods such as memory reading and illusionary manipulation have had little effect on them. In other words, even if you want to quietly use the spirit of these dream lords as a starting point to invade the dreams they have constructed, the success rate of implementing them is too low......"

After discussing it for a while, they found that they could not come up with an effective plan.

"Okay, let's put aside the auction for now. The Pope rubbed his slightly irritated eyebrows and shifted the subject: "Now let's talk about how to deal with the actions of the Dream Realm against the magical plane. ”

"Stop, of course!" said one of the white-clad bishops without hesitation.

Although the link channel of the magical energy plane is located in the Nideraith, the plane is outside the main material realm and does not belong to the territory of the Dragon Empire. Even if we interfere in this matter, the Dragon Empire has no position to stand in the way of our actions. ”

"Don't you bother with the Discovery Convention?"

"Heh, although the Dream Nation claims to have discovered and is occupying that plane, and according to the Exploration Convention, they can obtain the right of first refusal, but they are not developing it now, and have not yet achieved 'complete occupation'? ”

"Having said that, after all, the Exploration Pact is verbally recognized by all parties on the mainland, and the Dragon Empire and the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan are both partners of the Dream Lord, if these two parties support the Dream Nation, it will not be convenient for us to send troops to fight them for plane sovereignty. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's not convenient for ordinary soldiers to survive in the magical energy plane anyway. ”

"In other words, dispatch high-end combat power?"

"Yes. ”

"Well, the scope of the magic energy plane is not small, and the other party's exploration, occupation and development of the entire plane is not something that can be completed overnight, so we don't have to rush for a while. A lot of information in the Dream Realm is unknown, so to be on the safe side, it is enough to get information in advance......"
