To be on the safe side, Evan made a replica of Gogorella and Skarsa to help them practice playing the game.

In this way, no one will suspect that the two of them disappeared out of thin air.

Before setting off, he provided the team with a large amount of advanced equipment, ranging from mechanical ants for surveillance and Xiaoxi backups, to spaceships and flying machines—everything he could possibly use.

In addition, in order to prevent danger as much as possible, Evan also specially projected a power mark on Tachibana's body, so that he could help them in time when they encountered a crisis.

......

For Gogorella, the mission was not a chore either—being accompanied by her best friend Skasa and the adorable Nozomi along the way, as well as traveling through the world and collecting jewels from various civilizations, was a dream come true.

As a fairly pure dragon family, in addition to the house attributes, there is no shortage of money-hungry and lustful fruit Gorella. It's just that the house attribute is overwhelming on weekdays, and once she leaves her beloved game, she will return to the nature of the dragon clan who are keen to loot treasures.

By the way, the ideal life of most dragons is similar - the first half of their lives work hard to collect lots and lots of treasures, and the second half of their lives pile up treasures in caves, and then sleep in caves by themselves for the rest of their lives.

Theoretically speaking, Gogorela's current life is a true portrayal of the second half of most dragons' lives.

So the otaku can't blame her.

It's the nature of dragons.

One-one-one-one-one-one

After the Dragon Maiden Treasure Hunt set off, Evan did two more things after a long night of sleeping: one was to continue to try to contact the Dragon Blaster Bakar, and the other was to let the leaders who couldn't bring it to meet him.

Not surprisingly, there was still no response from the dragon side.

This time, Evan determined that something big might happen to Trophort, perhaps more so than the impact of the bug tide. The reason why the dragon king completely ignored his existence may have been a deliberate attempt to alienate the Menes Empire in order to keep Hyperion and his sister away from the maelstrom.

Evan and the Dragon King don't have much of a friendship, except for the bond of Gogorela, it's purely a relationship of mutual use.

Since the Apostle of the Dragon was deliberately distant, it was the wisest choice for the Menes Empire to follow his arrangement.

Since then, Ivan has also cut off the idea of contacting Trobot.

......

Late at night, the holy white arched stone door of the reception hall opens outward.

Accompanied by the ladies-in-waiting, the Paphez brothers, Wallon, Mobel Blackscale, Rantiluz, Maiser Monaghan, and Giselle arrived in the palace hall. Exquisite dining tables are lined up, delicacies are placed on the table, and glittering crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. The hall is bright and bright, with famous instrumentalists playing light and pleasant music.

At the very front of the hall, on the stone steps, Ivan sat alone at a table, with the Sun Wheel coat of arms of the Menes Empire carved on the wall behind him. After seeing that all seven people had arrived, he raised his crystal wine glass and faced everyone from afar, and the light red fruit wine rippled with magnificent beauty:

"It's all here, sit down. ”

Whether these people want to or not, since they have already boarded the ship of the Menes Empire, the corresponding Huairou is indispensable. Although these people are bad, they all have their own abilities, and if they can be used by the empire, Evan is still very willing to accept them.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The seven people also knew that he was appeasing their own people, so they immediately bowed down respectfully.

When they were in their places, the attendants brought seven burning braziers from outside the hall and placed them in front of them in turn—they only thought it was Menes' special barbecue, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

Evan raised his glass in salute, drank it all after everyone bowed, put it aside, watched them take their seats one by one, and then he said in a deep voice:

"What have you done before, how much black history there is, I don't want to know and don't care. I just want you to know that there are not many people who can accept you and have the ability to shelter you today. The foundation of the empire has just started, and it is a time when talents are needed, so I hope you can put aside your past suspicions and contribute to the empire together. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to answer, and directly picked up the wine glass that had just been filled by the waiter: "This glass of wine is regarded as your black history, no matter how many sins there were before, let it disappear with this glass of wine." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Evan poured the drink directly into the brazier on the side, and the flames suddenly turned into a pillar of fire under the influence of alcohol.

After seeing his movements, the seven people hurriedly stood up, and at the same time poured light red wine into the brazier, and the hall suddenly heard the snorting sound of steam.

As a pragmatist, Ivan thought that he had already expressed his meaning and that there was no need to bother with it, so after a few words of encouragement, he motioned for them to enjoy the delicious food first, and then talk about anything after they had eaten.

Seeing his kind attitude, several people gradually relaxed their anxious mood and began to taste the delicious treasures seriously.

The elegant music matches the tune, like nectar falling into the depths of people's hearts, swinging people's hearts.

The fruit wine flows into the mouth along the crystal clear rim, and the maid stands aside to help add the wine, which is also pleasing to the eye.

Exquisite dishes are served to the table one by one, music, food, alcohol, and special palace incense, which makes everyone feel like a fairy.

Eating and drinking was only a short prelude, and it seemed that after everyone had basically solved their appetites, Evan gently clasped his palms and patted lightly, so the musician picked up the instrument, and the maid cleaned up the table clutter, both of which left the venue in an orderly manner.

The moment the reception hall fell silent, Evan changed his previous gentleness and generosity, and directly ordered straight to the point:

"There can be no subjects in my empire who disobey the rules, so I am prepared to send the Rogues to manage your old ministry. I hope that you will be clear about your respective positions, stabilize the situation on the ground, and help Liuguan complete the transformation work as soon as possible. ”

"Your subordinates obey!" replied in unison.

Evan had already been with them before, and of course he had to show loyalty at this time in order to be worthy of his wooing.

"When the officials arrive in the precinct, they inevitably punish the mob who do not listen to the rules. These people are accustomed to an uncontrolled life, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to obey the decrees of the empire, and I am afraid that there will be a killing when the time comes. At this, Ivan sighed and shook his head, revealing a sad expression

Rantilus had already straightened his position at this time, and mistakenly thought that Evan was going to borrow their knife to kill someone, so he said murderously:

"Your Majesty, it's right to kill! If you kill them, you will naturally be convinced!"

"Rantilus is right, the lawless only recognize fists, and it is useless to reason with them. Catch a group of typical people and kill a group, let them be afraid, and they will naturally know how to abide by the law and discipline. ”

"Your Majesty, if it's inconvenient, we can do it for you!"

Due to Lantilus's mistake, everyone was led by him to distort the rhythm and put on a posture of an iron-blooded loyal dog.

Ivan was also very happy to see them so beep, but he had a better way to deter than to slaughter. So he stretched out his hands and pressed downward, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile:

"I'm glad you all have that in mind. But I have a better deterrent here than a massacre...... I don't know if you're in the lawless zone, have you ever heard of the feathering policy?"

"Feathering...... Feathering is good!"

"Your Majesty, the policy of feathering may be more terrifying to them than slaughter. ”

"This kind of deterrence may not have to be worse than the death penalty. ”

Although these people have stayed in the lawless zone for a long time, they are not isolated from the world, and they naturally know the big news that the Menes Empire made after the conquest of Norma. But it's none of their business, and they don't have a stake in what punishment the thugs will be for breaking the crime - so no one cares.

"However, there are also thugs who are not afraid of feathering, or they are simply women, what should I do?" the big crocodile Mobel questioned.

"Just exile. Evan replied easily.

“......”

Everyone looked at each other, and they always felt that there was something in his words, and exile was not like a simple exile. However, since the other party didn't explain it thoroughly, they naturally didn't want to ask, so they had to continue to echo:

"In extraordinary times, I think it is feasible to use extraordinary laws. ”

"I believe that it won't be long before they will be honest. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, and I am sure those thugs will thank you for your kindness when they know about it. ”

While showing his loyalty, everyone almost understood his intentions - the Menes were a patrilineal people, and as long as the surrounding humans were all women, they could quickly expand their base.

The Sun King clearly wanted to assimilate all those planets into the core native.

It's just that the means are a bit ruthless, but fortunately, as long as you don't commit a crime, there is no danger of injections.

The lawless were treated slightly better than the fate of the Norma—the former lawless leaders comforted themselves.

One-one-one-one-one-one

The feast ended in a joyous atmosphere, with Maubel, Wallon, the Paphez brothers, and Rantilus leaving after saying goodbye, with the exception of Giselle and Monaghan, who were left behind by Evan.

"Giselle and Monaghan, one of you has no territory, and the other has autonomy, so there is no need to do the same thing with them. As he spoke, Ivan left his throne and walked down the stairs step by step:

"I have an extra task for you to do. ”

He walked straight to the center of the reception hall, then reached out and grabbed the air, and a streamer flashed in his palm, which then condensed into a mechanical sphere.

The mechanical sphere is inlaid with large and small gears, which are rotating rapidly, and then the entire sphere is deformed and expanded, forming a steel gate of more than two meters.

Behind this door, a huge celestial body gradually emerged, which was a planet that seemed to be made of mechanical parts. The whole body is silvery-white, the surface is concave with countless clear tracks, and the dense lighthouse-shaped buildings are regularly distributed. The mechanical celestial body seemed to have some kind of life, and it was suspended there, but both Giselle and Monaghan felt a shudder of gaze coming from the surface of the planet.

"This ...... What is this?" said the mechanic, Giselle's eyes lit up.

"This is a super space fortress I designed and built, called White Moon, and its core is made of divine metal, so you can think of it as a massive mechanical lifeform. ”

"It's amazing! The ingenious structural design, the perfect forging process, the masterful artificiality of the joint...... What did I see!?Heaven!I saw Heaven!" Giselle saw the mechanical planet, just like a pervert who had been hungry and thirsty for decades, and saw a disheveled beauty, and directly entered a high-tide state.

"There's no need to be so exaggerated. ”

Seeing the other party's face that was flushed because of extreme excitement, Evan felt a little embarrassed inexplicably.

"No, no, no, you don't know, that's what I've always dreamed of! I've had a dream since I was a kid to build a mechanical planet of my own and lead a mechanical army loyal to me! Now I see hope...... Great King, please be open to me, I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life!"

Giselle, who was in a state of extreme fanaticism, had no reason anymore, and threw himself directly to the ground, and was about to step forward to hug his thigh.

"Calm down. ”

Evan didn't give him this chance, but just radiated the power of his mind and hung the raunchy short man up: "Even if you don't ask me, I will open up technology to you." From now on, you will stay and work in Bai Zhiyue, how about it?"

"Yes, yes, I do!" Giselle nodded in a hurry.

"Good!"

Ivan nodded, his eyelids glowing from the mechanical door, and Giselle's identity data flowed quietly in the depths of his pupils. Then, he put his hand on the empty slot of the mechanical door, pressed it gently, and looked up:

"I'll register your identity now, you have a good rest tonight, and I'll send someone to send you to the moon tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Thank you very much!" said Gisele, a satisfied expression.

After arranging the man's business, Evan put him back on the floor, and then turned his gaze to the Thunderer:

"Maises, I have something for you to do as well. ”

"Your Majesty, please. ”

The Demon Thunderer raised his head and chest, put his legs together, stomped his feet slightly, and said with a respectful expression.

"During those few days on the primordial planet, I used my light to change the nature of the star soul, and also accelerated its growth in disguise. Now it's on the verge of awakening, and I don't have the time to keep an eye on it, but you can. You're the darling of the planet's will—you're sure to get feedback when it awakens, and I want you to let me know at that moment!" he looked into her eyes and admonished earnestly.

"I understand ......"

Maiser Monaghan nodded slightly, showing a hint of suspicion, and asked with some uneasiness: "Your Majesty...... I beg your pardon for being rude, what's the point of you explaining this to me?"

"It's just observation, the awakening of the star soul is rare in 10,000 years, and I really want to observe this scene up close. It might give me a little bit of inspiration...... That's important to me right now. Seeing her uneasiness, Evan comforted her with some amusement:

"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to it. ”
