After clarifying Daliang's attitude on the dispute in Marcellus, Speaker Peters quietly left the Elysée Boulevard, and then got on the airship that left Saroyan.

Important figures of parliamentary power have also left the territory of Marcellus in recent days, and the free government of Marcellus has been quietly established in the United States of Felwood, and has officially taken over the command of the parliamentary army, and has begun the final preparations for war.

The Marquis of Whitehead knew of course that the current parliament was nothing more than an empty shell, and that all that remained were grassroots staff, ostracized parliamentarians, and remotely commanded deputies. However, the Marquis did not prevent the departure of the backbone of the parliament, and until the Treaty of Marcellus was formally abolished, Marcellus remained the province of the empire, and the ruling power of the province was in the hands of the parliament, and the governor of Marcellus could only manage military defense.

If the members of parliament are arrested for no reason, they will inevitably be used by parliamentary forces to incite anti-imperialist sentiments among the people of Marcellus. Moreover, the problem of Marcellus cannot be solved by arresting a few councilors, and catching Peters may not be of much benefit to the empire, but will cause a lot of trouble.

In a word...... Both the Empire and the Parliament maintained the last vestiges of silence in Marcellus, smiling at each other until the final day, even though the war was just a layer of paper away.

Da Liang got the approximate date of the outbreak of the Marcellus War from Speaker Peters, and a year was enough time for him to do a few more things.

And the most urgent need to invest in them is ...... It's the ancient prison that the Scarab Company is looking for.

Sir Charles did not know that Da Liang had sold him and Duncan cleanly, and their every move was under the surveillance of the Scarab Company.

Charles, Jessica, and Duncan form a team to participate in an expedition organized by the Scarab Company. Then Charles took out the clues and information given by Duncan, and successfully obtained the formation and leadership of an expedition.

At this time, the Scarab Company showed the strength of a super company.

Charles recruited fourteen explorers to form an expedition team, and the Scarab Company equipped them with a logistics and escort team of 270 people. And that's not even counting the manpower and armed personnel used for the temporary transfer of equipment during the expedition.

In addition, the Scarab Company has prepared two airships for Charles's expedition, and more than a dozen ships of various types are also gathering to explore the sea area, including a cruise ship dedicated to the rest of the expedition members.

In this expedition organized by the Scarab Company, there were a total of eighteen expedition teams of Charles' size, and dozens of other small-scale teams. The Scarab Company's investment this time is unprecedentedly huge, since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, there has been no comparable excavation of ancient ruins.

The Scarab Company really made a lot of money this time, and even had the determination to spend all its decades of family wealth in this expedition.

Named after the frequent disappearances of ships here, the Ghost Sea covers an area of more than 10 million square kilometers. Not only are the islands full of difficult terrain, but they are also often infested with pirates...... Finding a spatial entrance in such a vast sea area is really looking for a needle in a haystack.

If it were simple to find an ancient prison, with the strength to stare into the abyss, it would not be necessary to rely on the power of the Scarab Company.

The two airships carrying the expedition descended to dock with the cruise ship parked on the sea, and the expedition members and employees carrying their luggage walked along the gangside into the cruise ship.

The arrival of more than 200 people immediately made the originally deserted cruise ship lively.

Sir Charles directed the employees to carry the equipment and assigned each person's room. During this time, he gave Duncan and Jessica the two separate room cards, and then whispered, "You go to your respective rooms first, and come to my room after dinner, and we will discuss where to start this expedition."

Duncan, tell your people not to come near here. The Scarab Company invested so much in this expedition that it would definitely be guarded against others stealthily robbing it. Until we find the Ancient Prison, we can't let the Scarab Company have any suspicions. ”

Duncan took the card and replied to Charles, "I know what to do...... What staring into the abyss does best is hiding yourself. My men are hiding on an island disguised as pirates, and they will never approach the waters where the expedition is without my orders.

You'd better think about how to find the ancient prison. ”

"It's my job to find ancient ruins." Charles turned to Jessica and said, "Take care of yourself, I always felt that this expedition was not going to go so well......"

"Don't worry, sir...... I have a hurricane. Jessica patted Hurricane on the head.

At this time, the hurricane was dressed in armor and disguised as a mechanical puppet dog, and it crouched next to Jessica, with its head on Jessica's shoulder. After being slapped on the head, he wagged his tail.

After Da Liang saw the appearance of the hurricane through the magic image crystal ball, he couldn't help but pouted and said: "This hurricane is becoming more and more like a dog, and after this mission is completed, let Astro take care of it, and the dragon will have a dragon-like appearance." ”

Sophia covered her mouth and smiled, "Lord Hurricane would only look like this in front of his master and Miss Jessica. In front of others, he was still very imposing.

It can also be seen that Lord Hurricane really likes Miss Jessica.

And the new sense of intimacy we have for Miss Jessica is not like that of His Highness's descendants many generations apart. ”

Hearing what Sophia said, Da Liang also noticed the strangeness in Jessica's interaction with the hurricane. The undead have a much higher sense of smell for bloodlines than humans, and they can know who your ancestors are by smelling you, so the undead won't hurt Jessica. But it's a little hard to understand how close the undead, especially the undead directly under the Great Tomb, are so close to Jessica.

After all, after more than 2,000 years, I don't know how many generations of dilution, how much of Jessica's own bloodline can there be?

But the undead can't say the specific reason, they are loyal to Da Liang, loyal to Da Liang's family, and they are close to Jessica from the soul fire brand.

Jessica must have some other secrets that I don't know.

Da Liang looked at Jessica, who was leading the hurricane through the cruise ship, through the crystal ball, and said to Sophia: "Cindy said that Jessica has an elemental spirit by her side, let this elemental spirit appear as soon as possible, it may know something we don't know."

Then have Minia drive our airship teleportation station to the Ghost Sea to help find the entrance to the space prison.

There are also other expeditions of the Scarab Company, all of which sent people to keep an eye on ......

Their devotion to the search for ancient ruins has seriously affected the Scarab Company's business system. It won't be long before the Scarab Company will be dragged down by this excavation of ancient ruins. This shows that the Scarab Company on the Order Star is ...... to Eliza It didn't work.

It also means that the wormhole station of the Star Alliance will be opened soon.

We're going to find the Scarab Corp's headquarters before the wormhole station opens. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"
