Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many.

As a world-renowned adventurer, scientist, and tycoon, Sir Charles has been awarded honorary knighthoods by many countries, and this time he also received an invitation from the Marquis of Whitehead. Sir even gets a handwritten letter from the Marquis, who wants to know some of the specifics of Jazz's exploration of the Desert of Death.

So Sir Charles took Jessica with him to the Governor's Palace.

Due to the large number of important people attending today's banquet, the Special Security Service took control of all the neighborhoods, and all citizens were ordered to stay at home and not allowed to go out. Even some of the people who live here and return late due to special circumstances are not allowed to enter the cordoned off by the Security Service.

"Find a random place to spend the night!"

No one is allowed to approach this place without an invitation from the Doge's Palace.

The security of the vicinity of the Doge's Palace was manned by the Royal Musketeers Cavalry, and all guests who came to the banquet were escorted by a cavalry of musketeers dressed in royal military uniforms to escort their carriages to the gates of the Governor's Palace.

Sir Charles and Jessica's carriage was subject to five Security Service checks before being taken over by a cavalry of Royal Musketeers.

The carriage drove through the grass in front of the Doge's Palace, and was full of musketeers and soldiers dressed in red royal uniforms. The small white building of the Governor's Palace was getting closer and closer, and the lights illuminated the inside and outside of the Governor's Palace as bright as day, and you could clearly see the cars parked in front of the gate.

Jessica, who was dressed in an aqua blue evening dress, looked at the six Imperial soldiers who followed outside the carriage and said to the knight, "Why did the Emperor of the Flominck Empire appoint the Governor of Marcellus at this time?" A division was also transferred to the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment......

Is there going to be a war? ”

Sir Charles reads his notes whenever he has time, he wears a monocle, and a ball of light rises from the top of his cane to illuminate the words in his notebook.

To Jessica's question, Jazz didn't look away, and replied as he looked, "That's what I didn't like about this world before." obviously wanted to send each other to the gallows, but they were all like old friends shaking hands intimately. Obviously they are all selfish for power and fame, but they say that they are for the sake of the 'people' and the 'country'.

If there was a way, I would not be willing to participate in such a banquet. ”

"But the Marquis of Whitehead himself has written to you, and he seems to be interested in the Desert of Death."

"A lot of people are interested in the Desert of Death," said Sir. The Empire has funded us to explore the Desert of Death, not just in search of ancient ruins, but also minerals and all things valuable.

The most important thing is...... The feasibility of transforming the desert of death.

The Death Desert is not short of water, and its proximity to the eastern seaboard actually rains more than most of the Flominck Empire. But the spread of death makes it impossible for any creature to grow in the Desert of Death......

If you can find a place where the dead air is thin, you may be able to transform an oasis.

Do you know what the Oasis means to the Empire? ”

Jessica still has this insight, and she said: "Expand the land of the empire and increase the control of the Tossan Railway. With supply stations along the way, the railroad can be repaired quickly if it is damaged. If the oasis could connect Flamenque with Marcellus, then Marcellus would gradually be integrated into the empire.

The Frominque Empire will be able to truly own the sea and become a maritime nation. ”

Sir Charlton sighed: "Yes, the Floinque Empire has occupied Marcellus for so long, but it still has not become a maritime nation. The empire deep inland lacked knowledge of the sea, and shipbuilding technology was almost blank. And although Marcellus had shipbuilding technology, in the current situation, there is how to be trusted by the empire.

The fleet of the Frominque Empire was still under the name of the Blue Legion, and the small offshore fleet was already very backward.

The Desert of Death is stuck at the throat of the Flominck Empire, which wants to get out of the continent by at least having a corridor above Death, not a railroad that can paralyze it for a long time with just one bomb. ”

Jessica nodded: "But, is it possible to build an oasis in the Death Desert?" It was full of undead, especially at night. ”

Sir Charles closed his notebook and put it back in his pocket. said: "It depends on whether your ancestors are willing or not, I think the entire Death Desert is your family's territory." In a sense, you are the most noble person at this banquet and have the most land area.

Get off, my princess, here we are. ”

As soon as the knight finished speaking, the carriage stopped at the gate of the governor's palace, and a musketeer opened the door. The beautiful and energetic Jessica made the soldier who was acting as a waiter take a few more looks: "Dear sir, beautiful young lady. This is the Governor's House of Marcellus, and you are welcome to a banquet hosted by the Marquis of Whitehead, please get off the bus and ......"

Sir Charles took his cane and walked out of the carriage first, and Jessica followed with her skirt, and then took Sir by the arm and walked towards the gate under the guidance of the soldiers. At this time, a lot of guests had gathered outside the door, waiting for the guards to enter the Governor's Palace.

"Sir, Miss, please show me your invitations." Soon it will be Jazz and Jessica's turn. After Sir handed the invitation out, the magician in charge of security checked the anti-counterfeiting magic mark on the invitation and said to the two, "For the safety of this banquet, all weapons must be surrendered." Magicians can keep your wands, but don't make dangerous moves at the banquet and don't release your magic. ”

Jessica's expression suddenly became a little strange, and she asked, "Do you have to hand over any kind of weapon?" ”

Jessica's words alerted the magician, and he warned, "Yes, if you are undoubtedly doing something dangerous to others at the banquet, then please hand over all the weapons that violate the rules, and we will keep them for you, and then exchange them for you after the banquet."

You don't have to worry about your safety at the banquet, there are the most elite royal musketeers and the marquis's personal guard. ”

Sir Charlton guessed that Jessica must have been secretly carrying a weapon, and he advised: "Jessica, it is disrespectful to the person who is holding the banquet to carry a weapon. If you do bring any dangerous items, take them all out here. ”

"Okay......"

Jessica said reluctantly, then lifted the hem of her skirt and reached into her skirt and pulled it up.

Three holsters with revolvers, two daggers, and a belt full of bullets......

Jessica pulled her weapons out of her skirt one by one, and looked at the guards around her and the guests waiting behind her, dumbfounded.

Jazz didn't think Jessica had brought so many things, he smiled awkwardly and tried to explain, but the magician shouted, "Arrest them both......"

The musketeers cheered around Jazz and Jessica.

"This is ......a misunderstanding," explained Sir as he prepared for the defensive magic, "it was the first time my assistant had attended such a banquet, and she didn't know the rules of the banquet. We have no intention of harming anyone, and I am willing to be investigated by you......"

Just as the scene was in full swing, Miss Anne stepped out of the carriage and said to the soldiers with their guns raised and the magicians with their wands drawn, "These are Sir Charles and Miss Jessica, guests of the Empire." Both were brilliant adventurers, and carrying weapons was just a habit.

Everyone went back to their places, and didn't let this little thing delay the normal start of the feast. ”
