At 13:30 p.m., the group returned to the camp.

There are two main reasons why we don't go directly to another location to investigate.

First, before 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the VIP inspection team will officially arrive, and Sharon and Alyssa will rush back to the city.

Second, the red "Wisdom Grass" needs to be handed over to professionals for analysis, and other materials collected must also be summarized.

Although Li En had been paddling in the early stages of the battle with the phantom beast, he had done the same thing.

The abnormality of the Spiritual Grass, the appearance of the phantom beast, and the final elimination of the phantom beast, he has taken pictures and retained them, and there are both appearance photos and detail photos, even if they do not reach the level of professional photographers, they are not too much.

This is mainly due to two old classmates who are engaged in related industries - Vivi and Rex.

When the two met Li En, they both commissioned Li En to take pictures of suitable places and pass them on as materials, Li En has always been careful, and over time, the shooting water will naturally rise.

Even Michael, who has always been picky, gave a very high evaluation, accepted all the orders, directly filed and reported them as official information, and called a meeting of all relevant personnel.

As soon as Randy and Theo saw the photo, they confirmed that it was the Spiritual Grass they had encountered - except for the color, everything else was exactly the same, and it had extremely high spiritual power, which could support the operation of the upper three attributes.

And Tova also officially confirmed that the phantom beast was the same type of phantom beast that appeared during the Civil War, she was the captain of the Red Wing at that time, and all the information was firmly remembered by her, and she opened her mouth when she needed it.

Crossbell's independence and the Imperial Civil War were indispensable for the shadow of association, and Alyssa spoke without hesitation:

"Is there a way for 'association' to artificially trigger something like this?"

"The odds aren't zero." Sharon replied very frankly, "But I think the association is basically more inclined to pursue things that transcend technology, and the use of 'phantom beasts' with spiritual powers, or the magic products of the dark ages, 'Demon Soldiers', doesn't feel like what the society does." ”

"Well, thank you."

This kind of crucial matter, Sharon dares to say, and Alyssa dares to believe and trusts it absolutely.

Of course, Li En is also a trusted member, because this thing is really not the work of the association, and the association is just a guide to the situation.

Both of them said so, and Michael, as the highest person responsible, could only choose to believe it, after all, Sharon's identity was not a secret in the Intelligence Bureau and the Railway Gendarmerie.

Immediately afterwards, Altina put forward her opinion - whether it would be the fugitive "Zero Prince" Kia Bannings.

She is the source of Crossbell's mutations, and it is her power that allows the Spiritual Grass to bloom throughout Crossbell. When this kind of thing happens, she should be the first to think of her.

Of course, the Crossbell group was unanimously against this. After the mutation was over, Qi Ya had lost her strength, and with the knowledge of several people about Qi Ya, it was impossible for her to do such a thing.

Artina disagreed. Losing her strength doesn't mean she can't recover, and her personality has nothing to do with strength, maybe she's struggling with the power that is gradually recovering.

It is well-founded and irrefutable. After all, Qiya is also a wanted member and has been evading the tracking and investigation of the Intelligence Bureau.

It was confirmed that Kia lost her power a year and a half ago, and now no one can say well.

However, this reasonable inference was actually denied by Michael, because the Governor's Office sent a communication before the meeting-regarding this incident, there was no need to suspect Bannings and others, and asked for an investigation on the premise of phantom beasts and flowers or other reasons.

Yuna breathed a sigh of relief, and Kurt was confused.

Randy and Theo, who were sitting on the side, were as heavy as water, their eyes and nose were looking at their noses, their noses were looking at their hearts, and they didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Li En was sure in his heart that the "Birdcage Operation" had been successful, except for the two sitting beside him, everyone else was locked in Mishuram and couldn't move.

Coincidentally, just as the topic was being spoken, a distinctive engine roar came overhead.

It is not a single engine, but a large number of guide engines, and the resonant sound can be heard clearly even in a well-insulated train.

Looking at the entire Empire, there is only one thing that will use an engine of this size - the Empire's first aircraft carrier, the supercrossbow-class battleship "Patanguai".

Originally the flagship of the rebel army of the "League of Nobles", it was handed over to the imperial government after the defeat, and now it is the face of the empire that travels around the country, showing the power of the empire.

This time is no exception, and the VIP inspection mission will of course have to be treated like a VIP.

Having said that, due to the size of the battleship, it was not suitable for docking in the city, so it could only be suspended in mid-air, and then send a small ship to send people to the top of the Orchid Tower to land.

This scene also evoked the psychological shadow of many residents of Crossbell - this was the case when the Empire invaded, Patanguai obscured the sky, and the Empire's flying ships and mechs descended from the sky and quickly occupied the whole of Crossbell.

Of course, in the hearts of the imperial people, this is pride - who doesn't want their country to be strong?

Note: The fact of aggression is not discussed here.

In such an environment, the members of the mission appeared one by one.

As the representative of the government, the head of the imperial capital, Karl Regnitz, was the first commoner-born administrator in the history of the empire, and the father of Macchias.

As a representative of the financial community, Irina Lanefort, president of the Lane Forte Group, single-handedly brought the group to where it is today, Alyssa's mother.

Olibart Leezer Arnoor, an old friend of the people of Crossbell and a representative of the Imperial Family, had visited Crossbell two years earlier at the International Trade Conference.

In addition, there is also Olivebat's sister, Princess Alfin Leezer Arnoor, known as the "Treasure of the Empire", who officially went out to inspect for the first time after stepping into the social world.

Behind Alphin is her best friend, best friend, and Riene's precious sister, Elysée Schwarzer, who has not been specifically introduced, and her identity is not enough.

The scene was broadcast live to the entire territory of Crossbell through broadcast vans that had been placed in advance throughout the city.

Macchias and Reiner.

Lindy and Becky.

Teenagers and teenage girls dressed in oriental style.

Young male with white hair, young woman with long silver gray hair.

Whether you want to or not, no matter what your intentions are, you are watching this scene.

The second branch was no exception, and the students all gathered in the dining car to watch the broadcast, and from time to time they could hear the cheers of "Long live His Highness Elfinn", which gradually dispersed until the end of the broadcast.

It was mainly the imperial students who shouted this, and the students of the states and foreign countries were in a different mood.

By the time the broadcast ended, the meeting between Lane and the others came to an end.

Theo, Alyssa, and Sharon are also leaving, riding in the maintenance car they had arrived.

Lane and the students made their way to the door of the maintenance vehicle.

Dawn said goodbye to the three of them one by one:

"Director Theo, that thing must be done by tonight."

"Although I don't know why you would do such a thing, but if it's for ...... Anyway, wrap it up on me. ”

"Alyssa, that's please."

"I see. Be sure to take some time after that, I have a lot to ask you. ”

"Miss Sharon—"

"Young Master Lien, please rest assured, I will consider it carefully. And - the most important thing, this kindness of Young Master Lien, I have nothing to repay Sharon, this life already belongs to the Lane Forte family, I can only express my gratitude in this way. ”

Sharon said, bowing deeply to Ryne again.

"No, I've already said—"

Li En hurriedly waved his hand, but saw Sharon suddenly get up and put his lips to the side of Li En's face and put it on it.

“chu——”
