Chapter XXIV
A group of men in black uniforms walked into the hall under the watchful eye of the xenomorph. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Three of them stood out from the crowd and attracted Qin Ran's attention.
Not only because of the completely different costumes, but also because the three of them are familiar with each other.
Condy, Baker, and ...... Herbert!
Herbert?!
The moment he saw this old scholar, Qin Ran's brows were raised.
He would have liked to see the old scholar again, but not in the way he was now.
Looking at Herbert who appeared, the thoughts in Qin Ran's mind spun rapidly.
Is Herbert in front of him a fake?
Qin Ran, who learned from Edel's mouth that Halhat had handed over the recording crystal to the other party, believed that as long as that guy was not an idiot, he would not send an imposter to test his patience.
So......
Is Herbert real in front of him?
The guy Iddle describes is not a simple person, not only in a high position, but also in real power: most of Langton's military has a close relationship with the other party.
Such a character would not be easily relented, especially when what he had done in the Karl Hart barracks did not spread, and the other party sent someone to send Herbert back......
Not for Carl Hart.
It's for him!
Qin Ran looked down at the letter written by the other party in his hand-
Dear Excellency 2567,
I think there was a misunderstanding between us.
So, I'm trying to clear up these misunderstandings.
That's just a misinterpretation by my subordinates, and it's not my intention.
As you can see, His Excellency Herbert has not been subjected to any mistreatment with me, and he is in good spirits.
I'm really sorry about his amnesia.
This is my mistake, and I will have you and His Excellency Herbert make up for it satisfactorily.
If you don't mind, I'd also like to invite you to my castle.
In the summer, the view is very good.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Cardville who wants to be friends with you
T1892.2.17
Perverse!
It's so unusual!
Qin Ran's gaze couldn't help but look at Herbert.
With a smile, the old scholar greeted Qin Ran with a smile, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality.
But this made Qin Ran more and more uneasy.
Don't......
An idea suddenly appeared in the bottom of Ling Qinran's heart.
He thought of the only possibility: Herbert must have some kind of limitation.
The deadly kind!
Thinking of this, Qin Ran's gaze looked at the group of people in black uniforms, their eyes with colorful light exuding undisguised killing intent.
"Your Excellency!"
"This is Lord Cardwell's compensation for you!"
The leader of the team shuddered, and sweat began to spill from his forehead.
However, the other party still didn't forget to put the box he was holding in front of Qin Ran.
Looking at the box placed in front of him, Qin Ran slightly restrained his killing intent.
The box is not large, similar to a women's jewelry box.
Nothing can be seen from the outside.
Qin Ran, who wanted to know what tricks the other party swiped, gestured to Yi De.
Idel immediately walked over and, after inspecting it, opened the box.
Suddenly, the aroma is fragrant.
Inside this small box is a blooming white flower, the size of a palm, with pale yellow stamens.
【Name:Flower of Emida】
【Type: Plant】
[Quality: Rare]
[Attribute: ??? 】
[Can I bring out this copy: No]
[Note: You need to find a specialized person to authenticate it!] 】
……
When Qin Ran's fingers touched the flower, the flower's attributes began to appear.
"The Flower of Emida?"
"Do you know what it does?"
After Qin Ran muttered to himself, he looked at Yi De, who looked excited.
"Your Highness, the flower of Emmida can effectively inhibit the arrival of the exhaustion period!"
Idel immediately bowed down and replied.
"Inhibition of exhaustion?"
Qin Ran knew the exhaustion period of xenomorphs.
Just as humans grow old, xenomorphs undergo a similar process, but xenomorphs call it the 'exhaustion phase'.
Once the xenomorph enters the exhaustion phase, it will rapidly grow old, and its ability will decline rapidly, followed by ...... Death!
What's even more frightening is that there is no pattern to the arrival of the exhaustion period.
Some xenospecies can live up to 100 years without experiencing a period of exhaustion.
And there are?
In the prime of life, you will face death.
Qin Ran's gaze swept over the excited-looking aliens, looked at the [Flower of Emida] in his hand, and then looked at the three Herberts.
Qin Ran let out a sneer in his heart.
It was only then that he could guess what Cardwell was trying to do.
【Flower of Emida】!
This can be said to be a life-saving thing for xenos, and it is in the hands of the other party, of course, it is far more than the one sent by the other party.
There will inevitably be more on the other side!
That's the first thing the other person wants to say.
As for the second meaning?
Cooperate!
As long as he, the 'royal family', does not want to face the pain of exhaustion, he needs to cooperate with the other party.
And the content of the collaboration?
Naturally, it was the 'Emperor' legacy known to Herbert.
The other party has never given up on this goal.
It's just that after discovering that he is a 'royal family', he has made adjustments in some aspects.
In the midst of the lightning, Qin Ran, who thought of this, had an evil aura on his body that became more and more intense.
The leader in front of him shook his body and fell to the ground.
"Not enough!"
"Tell Cardwell that this compensation is not enough!"
"I need more sincerity from him!"
Qin Ran looked down at the other party, and then, raised his right hand and pointed his index finger slightly.
Lie, who was standing behind Qin Ran, immediately took a step forward and waved his hand at the person in front of him.
Woo!
The wind is blowing.
Wrapped up Cadwell's men, including the leader, and threw them out of the hall.
When Lie walked back behind him again, Qin Ran handed over the box containing [Amida's Flower] to the other party for safekeeping, and without saying anything more, motioned for the dinner to continue.
Yi Der and the other aliens undoubtedly wanted to express something, but in the face of Qin Ran's majesty, they didn't dare to speak at all.
The time that follows, as if it had begun, is dull and suffocating.
After more than two hours, the dinner was truly over.
Looking at Qingguang's plate, the xenos were surprised by Qin Ran's appetite.
I finished eating all the dishes!
It's really incredible!
Immediately, Qin Ran's appetite and [Flower of Amida] became a topic of discussion among the departing aliens.
And Qin Ran was led by the maid to a newly decorated room.
The room is an ensuite with a separate study, a reception room, and a hot spring pool in the bathroom.
Qin Ran rubbed his slightly uncomfortable stomach and walked towards the reception room.
Although the physique has reached the level of SS-, it has already surpassed the limit of ordinary people, but for Qin Ran, who has eaten a hundred dishes at one time, it is still a little reluctant.
"Get me some hawthorn!"
Qin Ran instructed the maid on the side, and then pushed open the door of the reception room.
The three Herberts had been waiting here for a long time.
"Long time no see!"
Looking at Qin Ran who walked in, the old scholar greeted with a smile.
