Time flies, time flies.

Prince Ax came to the Federation from the Carter Empire, and before he knew it, he was in his fourth year.

The people and things that have surrounded the little prince over the years, the biggest change is probably Xiao Lin's height - he easily surpassed his brother Lin Zexi this year and became the tallest ...... in the Marshal's Mansion Wizard.

And Akers himself also completed two high-level tasks and two intermediate-level tasks one after another after obtaining the system skill "Red Line", accumulating a lot of system energy.

Qiuqiu used this energy to continuously help Axes repair and increase his mental power, so his mental threshold reduction caused by the failure of the intermediate mission in Nerd was completely solved as early as the first year of returning to Sister.

He Xiaolin continued to take classes in the Guide Association, and Akers, whose mental power level had greatly improved, also successfully entered Chen Jing's subconscious, and was able to do the deepest spiritual counseling for him.

Coupled with the physical training deliberately arranged by Chen Jing, now Akers has perfectly adapted to Kungunir's two-person driving mode in terms of mental strength and physical fitness, and can theoretically accompany Chen Jing to fight anywhere at any time.

However, such an opportunity to "fight in the Quartet" seems to be uncommon now—because whether it is the Federation or Carter, these years can be described as Guotai and Minan.

At that time, the three countries of the Federation, Carter, and Samuel joined forces to solve the core force of the interstellar pirates. Those small pirate groups escaped because they didn't have the opportunity to "share the spoils" with Margaret.

They are very self-aware, so for a long time, they don't want to continue to come out to commit crimes, and they don't even dare to show their faces, so they choose to clinch their tails and hide - in short, after this battle, the rampant interstellar pirates really can't be resurrected for many years.

Of course, there are still Zerg arriving in the A galaxy at the gate of the Far Star Domain, but as long as they don't encounter the Insect Tide, the Sixth Legion of the Federation under the leadership of General Chen Xing can maintain the balance of the Fifth Star Region as it has done in the past twenty years.

But none of this is something for Axes to worry about for the time being...... What he really has to worry about now is his internship and his graduation thesis.

Regarding the internship unit, going to the marshal's side is naturally the best choice, but this also means that the little prince may not be able to suffer at all - because Chen Jing will definitely take care of him properly, and there is no need to worry about everything.

There are pros and cons to such an internship environment, and it all depends on Acks' choice.

Just when the little prince was still thinking about it, the news from "hometown" Carter completely disrupted his next arrangements, and also allowed Akers to no longer have to worry about where to go for an internship.

……

"Your Highness, there's news from Carter...... Augustine the Great, sick. Mr. Gray considered his words before he said to Axes.

Akers, who was watching Chen Xu's training in the mecha simulation training room, immediately turned around, and seemed to be very surprised on his face.

"Is it news from the Shivik Palace?" Akers asked hurriedly.

Mr. Gray nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, the Shvik Palace notified the general first. ”

Akes suddenly fell silent, and consciously talked to Qiuqiu: "What's going on? How did Augustine the Great get sick? ”

- At this time, science and technology are so developed, how serious will the "disease" that can make news come from the Shvik Palace?!

Qiuqiu didn't seem to believe that Carter's old fox could get sick, and he wondered, "Could it be a genetic defect?" ”

Whether there will be genetic defects is more random, there is no clear family genetic marker, and it will not be judged because of a person's ability or not, but the standard type of "flying disaster".

But after thinking about it, Qiuqiu felt that it didn't seem to be a genetic defect.

If there is a genetic defect suddenly, this is obviously a "hidden disease" that should be covered up in every possible way for the emperor, how could he take the initiative to tell Chen Jing, a member of the Federation......

What's more, Augustine the Great can sit on the throne and sit firmly on it for decades, relying on the land is not his "guard" status.

In addition, Augustine the Great has many children who have grown up, and the eldest son, Calvin, is a chief sentinel with very good qualifications - to put it mildly, for an emperor, Augustine the Great has actually completed the task of inheriting the royal bloodline.

At this time, even if you get a genetic defect, it doesn't seem to matter.

According to the news sent by Carter's Shvik Palace, it can be inferred that the situation of the Carter Emperor is not ideal.

"Did the general say that my father had any disease, and what was the reason for his illness? Also, my queen mother, how is she? "August the Great probably didn't have an infectious disease

Recently, things have been busy, and the Shivik Palace has not been in contact with the little prince very quickly, and Akers only realized at this time that he seems to have not received direct news from the Shivik Palace for a long time!

Even when such a big thing happened, Akers was not the first person to know, and the little prince had to retell it through others to understand the situation.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

He didn't get any more information from Mr. Butler, and Akers had to wait for Chen Jing to return to the Marshal's Mansion before he could "bother" him.

Chen Jing looked at Akes's anxious eyes, and once again confirmed the matter for the little prince: "There is indeed news from the Shivik Palace today, but the messenger is not the previous royal housekeeper Mr. Bryan or Carter's official spokesman, but a new manager named Hansen......

Ax was even more surprised when he heard this, and some strange thoughts popped up in his mind.

- Mr. Blaine is the Emperor's confidant, and he has contacted the Marshal's Mansion every time before...... Now Augustine the Great is suddenly ill, but there is no sign of Mr. Brian......

Or, Mr. Blaine, who was also implicated by the emperor to whom he was loyal, got the same illness that he was bedridden, and of course had to transfer his duties to someone else.

Either that, or Mr. Blaine is under control and can't move freely outside as usual......

- Wait, it's been controlled...... Control...... Who has such authority to control the henchmen of Augustine the Great in the Shvik Palace?

There's an answer...... Ax was silent on his face, but his heart seemed to be blowing through a stormy wave.

Chen Jing didn't intend to hide it, so he continued: "It is indeed a communication from Mr. Hansen, the current head of the Shvik Palace, who mentioned that Carter will hold a ceremony for the enthronement of the new emperor in the near future, and I hope you can go back. ”

"Go back to Carter?!" Ax couldn't tell whether it was the "new emperor" or "going back", and he was even more scared.

Chen Jing looked at Ax's shocked and tangled expression, skillfully took the little prince into his arms, rubbed his head, and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll accompany you back to Carter this time." ”

In fact, when he just received the news today, he was so surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Chen Jing thought faster and deeper than Axes - Augustine the Great may not really be "sick", but Carter is going to usher in his new emperor.

"Go back to Carter to see Augustine the Great for the last time, and see Empress Winnie." Chen Jing explained their next "travel plan".

When he heard Chen Jing say that he would accompany him back to Carter, Akers was of course a lot more relieved.

But Carter is now in the midst of a transition between the old and the new, and it must be very confusing - whether the old is willing to be replaced by the new, will more people be involved, will there be more troubles and disputes...... It's all unknown.

I don't know why, when I heard Chen Jing say "see the last face", Akers always felt that the other party's words seemed to mean something.

……

No matter what disease Augustine the Great had, who was behind it, what the new emperor had done and what he was going to do next, only when Carter had the opportunity to see and understand.

Fortunately, Akes is now in the internship period, so I will contact the class guide of the school to explain the situation, but there is no time problem.

Just as the Federation team was about to leave for Carter, the official announcement immediately blew up the virtual platform.

"Oh my God, Carter has made an announcement, Augustine the Great has abdicated due to illness, and Crown Prince Calvin will inherit the throne next month!"

"Sick? What is the disease? ”

"The announcement said that he abdicated due to illness, but as for what kind of illness it is, it doesn't seem to have been mentioned."

"The first emperor is not dead, there is a new emperor, Carter's speed of changing the dynasty is really fast."

"What if Augustine the Great later recovers from his illness?"

"Then what else can I do, there is already a new emperor, it is better to count it as a Zen position, and enjoy the blessings in the harem."

"The new Emperor Carter ascended the throne, so should our Federation send someone to congratulate him?"

"Definitely, and according to the grapevine, Prince Ax and the marshal will represent the federal side at the enthronement ceremony of Crown Prince Calvin."

"That's for sure, Carter is Prince Akers' hometown after all, take this opportunity to go back and have a look."

"I don't know if His Royal Highness Akers regretted coming to the Federation to see that his brother is going to be the emperor."

"What's so good about being an emperor, there's no freedom, it's better to be in our federation, a country of freedom!"

……

At this time, Axes finally got on the warship to Carter, and he seemed to have a strange feeling of "hometown timidity" in his heart.

It was a country he should have been very familiar with—but for Ax now, Carter was just a name that appeared in audiovisual materials and books and magazines...... Downright exotic.

On the sofa in his room, looking at the fruit salad and the ball bowl brought by the service robot looking for carrots, Axwaner.

It is also a long road in the vast galaxy, and he is in a completely different state of mind at this time than when he "came" to the Federation alone four years ago.

At least at this time, he knew that he was no longer alone! 166 Reading Network
