At this time, the "Crown Prince" docked.

Barnes went to the port as the captain of the ship, and they had come to Soaring Star to be entrusted by the owner of the cargo to transport a batch of valuables to the Hidden Spirit, where they would only stay for a few days. Because the Lei Ling Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan have always been friendly, the trade between the two sides is also very frequent. It was not uncommon to carry personal valuables on behalf of a dignitary, and there was nothing to doubt even if the captain was a recluse.

Of course, most fast ships are highly automated, usually with a few crew members.

After Barnes completed the formalities, Yang Yi and the others left the "Crown Prince", and then took the spaceport's commuter spacecraft to Lingxiao Star.

Comparatively speaking, the Lei Ling clan was much more lax in its management of outsiders.

The main thing is that Ling Xiao Star is only the nominal home planet of the Lei Ling Clan.

As early as more than 4,000 years ago, the first emperor of the Lei Ling clan, that is, the Emperor of Courage and Courage, set the rule that Ling Xiao Star would be permanently and unconditionally open to all civilizations of the Galactic Alliance. It is precisely in this way that the Lei Ling Clan has gained many allies, and when the Emperor of Courage and Courage is seriously injured and his strength is greatly reduced, he has gained the strength to compete with the Weaver Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan, and has become a first-class top civilization in the Galactic Alliance. Although in the thousands of years since then, the Lei Ling Clan has experienced several ups and downs, and Ling Xiaoxing's open-door policy has been adjusted and revised many times, but the rules set by the Emperor of Courage and Courage have not been abolished, but various restrictions have been added. It is precisely because of this that Ling Xiao Star has become the most prosperous planet in the Galactic Alliance, and it can even be said that it is the center of diplomacy, trade and cultural exchange of the Galactic Alliance.

There are about 10 billion permanent residents on the planet, half of whom are envoys, merchants, trade representatives, and institutional workers from other civilizations. To put it simply, on this completely urbanized planet, people from all civilizations can be met everywhere.

It can be said that in the entire Southern Alpha system, Soaring Star is unique.

Of course, this is also an extremely prosperous planet.

As early as thousands of years ago, Lingxiao Star was fully urbanized, that is, from the inside out, the planet is a huge three-dimensional city. Located on the outermost layer, which is the outer ring with the best environment, is the embassies of various civilizations, as well as the living quarters for diplomats provided by the Lei Ling royal family. Inside, the second level is divided into six sections, each for each of the other six top-level civilizations, and is mainly used to host the high-ranking personnel of these civilizations, especially members of the royal family. The third level is the commercial trade area, which is divided into millions of areas, large and small, which are leased to the commercial and trading institutions of various civilizations. Because the rent is frighteningly high, the people who can open branches and trade offices here are all large consortia of various civilizations, including the Yu family's handling points. Further inside, there is the living and accommodation area for the personnel of the private organization. It is also rented by the Lei Ling royal family, and the rent is equally expensive, but the services provided are also very comprehensive and perfect. The innermost part is the station of the royal guard unit responsible for the security of the star, as well as the infrastructure to maintain the normal operation of various equipment on the star.

Because he was dressed as a merchant from the Hidden Spirit Clan, Barnes took Yang Yi and Amy to the third layer.

Here, there is also a branch of the Hidden Spirit Trade Agency. Of course, some of them must be the liaison stations of the Hidden Spirit Intelligence Service.

Everything is arranged by Barnes, so there is no need for Yang Yi to worry about it.

After settling in, Barnes went out to lie down. Yang Yi didn't ask much, because this was obviously the secret stronghold of the Hidden Spirit Clan's intelligence department.

Actually, it's not crowded at all.

Even in the civilian area on the third floor, the living area is spacious. You know, there are only 10 billion inhabitants on the planet, and this planet is enough to accommodate trillions of inhabitants. Among other things, this small office occupies several square kilometers and is divided into work areas, storage areas, living areas, and leisure and entertainment areas, and there are less than a hundred hermits living here, each with their own room, and hundreds of guest rooms. In Barnes's words, if you get into trouble, it's capable of containing tens of thousands of recluses. It's just that I've never encountered trouble, after all, this is Ling Xiaoxing, unless the Lei Ling Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan start a war, otherwise it is impossible to get into trouble.

After Barnes left, Amy and Yang Yi circled around.

Because of the abundant energy supply, even in the interior of the planet, it creates an extremely realistic natural environment that does not feel like it is under the surface at all. Overhead, there is a blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by the greenery commonly found on the Hidden Spirit Star, and there are towering mountains in the distance. Except for the plants in the garden, everything else is a simulated image, but from a distance, it is impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"Yang Yi, I haven't had a chance to thank you."

"Thank me?"

Amy smiled reluctantly and said, "I know, you didn't come to Lingxiao Star for me this time, but all these things you did helped me. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, then he understood, and said, "Amy, we are friends, there is no need to be so polite." If it weren't for you, I would have been just a soldier forever, and I might have died. No matter what, being able to meet you and be friends with you is the luckiest thing in my life. ”

"For me, too."

Yang Yi smiled faintly and didn't say anything. In his opinion, he and Amy are just friends, even if they are best friends, and it is impossible to have a more intimate relationship.

"Actually, I've been thinking about one thing." Amy smiled reluctantly and said, "What if I hadn't met you or given you the 'Source of Life'?" Although time will not be turned back, I am sure that even if you had not met me and had not obtained the 'Source of Life', you would have achieved the same thing. It's not my guess, but you've proven it all with your actions. You're not an ordinary person, I just happened to meet you, did what was supposed to be done, and you're going to achieve even greater. ”

"Amy ......"

"It's not just me who sees it, it's Barnes too."

Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and didn't answer, because he didn't know what to say.

"Yang Yi, when I tell you this, I actually want to ask you for something."

"What?"

Amy gritted her teeth before she said, "No matter what happens in the future, I hope you don't target us, don't target the Hidden Spirit Clan, even if it's just for my sake." ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and looked at Amy in surprise.

"Actually, that's what worries me the most." Amy let out a long sigh and said, "Although you are my friend, after you became the commander of the human expeditionary force, after you gained the favor of the Star Soul Empress, and after all these things happened one after another, you are no longer just my friend. Although everyone thinks that it was the Star Soul Empress who made you, and it was the support of the Star Weaver Clan that gave you your current identity and status, I know better that it was you who made the Star Soul Empress, it was you who created this amazing victory, and it was you who led all this. I am more convinced that in the near future, you will not only be commanding a human expeditionary force, but the most powerful force in the entire Galactic Alliance, and even the entire universe. Of course, I know that when that day comes, we will still be friends. ”

"Of course, no matter what the future holds, we are all friends."

"Then, I beg you, when that day comes, for my sake, don't embarrass the Hidden Spirit Clan."

"Amy ......"

"I know that many of my father's previous practices were wrong, and they were ridiculously wrong, but he has recognized it and made corrections, but he has not admitted it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me and Barnes to assist you, or even acquiesced in an alliance with you. ”

Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "Amy, we will always be friends. I can assure you that as long as the Hidden Spirits don't see me as an enemy, I won't treat the Hidden Spirits as an enemy. This universe is very vast, and no matter what the future holds, there must be a place for the Hidden Spirit Clan. I can also assure you that as long as we are friends, then as long as I am alive, I will not be threatened by the Hidden Spirits. ”

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me, you deserve it, and we're friends. You're so polite, what kind of friend are you? ”

Amy smiled reluctantly, and just then, Barnes rushed back.

"Why are you here, I've been looking around for a long time." Barnes's pace was fast, and his words were anxious.

"What, there's news?"

"We came at the right time, and the current Ling Xiaoxing is not peaceful at all."

Yang Yi frowned, looked at Barnes, and waited for Barnes to continue.

"Before the outbreak of the war, the Wanluo War Emperor issued a partial ****** to bring all the standing legions of the Lei Ling clan into combat state and begin to prepare for the war. Although it was only a partial ******, according to the law of the Lei Ling clan, it was necessary to obtain the unanimous support of the elders of the royal family, and Emperor Wanluo had not consulted the elders before this. After the outbreak of the war, to be precise, after the Galactic Alliance Council passed the war resolution, the Wanluo War Emperor officially issued a war ******. It's just that the mobilization of the Lei Ling clan was not carried out thoroughly. The main thing is that several elders questioned the partial mobilization carried out by the Wanluo War Emperor before the outbreak of the war, believing that the Wanluo War Emperor had long known that the war was about to break out, but he did not make due efforts, including pushing the Galactic Alliance Council to pass the war resolution, but preventing the war resolution from being passed. Of course, these elders also condemned the Wanluo War Emperor for using the standing army without authorization. ”

"And then?"

"Of course, these guys have all left Ling Xiaoxing and fled to other places. It's just that after they questioned and condemned, there were already voices within the Lei Ling clan against Wan Luo Zhan Huang, and many people thought that Wan Luo Zhan Huang was not suitable to lead the Lei Ling clan. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Of course, it's also about you."

"Me?"

Barnes nodded and said, "You have entered the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and with only twenty expeditionary legions and three thousand Weaver Legions, you have achieved the most brilliant victory in the history of the Galactic Alliance, and the capture of many star systems is equivalent to proving the incompetence of the Wanluo War Emperor." ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, the Lei Ling clan is no longer monolithic, and the Lei Ling clan royal family is no longer the leader of the Wan Luo Zhan Huang Ma, at least not all the royal family." (To be continued.) )
