Chapter Eighty-Five: Return to a Foreign Land

A month later, Lawrence was the imperial capital.

Qin Shouzhuo is back!

This news was like a plague, it spread all over the upper class of the imperial capital in just one day, and the bigwigs were shocked, and they urged to find out more detailed news, and at the same time kept holding meetings, since Qin Shouzhuo came back alive, then naturally he couldn't be treated with the same attitude as before.

It has long been reported that there had been fierce fighting in the northern part of the Earldom of Faybudach, and a large area of woods that had been burned by the battle could be seen at the scene, and the wreckage of the crashed airship was even more eye-catching. According to the information of the Earldom of Feibu Daxu in the past few days, combined with the red cross flag on a white background that had not been completely burned out found at the scene, it was easy to determine the identity of the people in Yuxi.

But there is still the biggest suspicion in the matter: Qin Shouzhuo left Lawrence City on July 20, and according to the judgment, the attack on Victor Mucai's fleet should have been on July 24 (the error is no more than two days), and there are only less than 5 days in between, how did Qin Shouzhuo complete the more than 5,000 kilometers of wind passage in between?

In 3~4 days, after walking more than 5,000 kilometers of wind ducts, accurately intercepting Victor, who set off a month in advance, it is an impossible thing to think, but this absolutely impossible thing to happen, but it was successful, and people have to be curious about the inside story. Especially the Caterina seaplane that Qin Shouzhuo took when he set off, even an ordinary magic apprentice could see that this was completely different things compared to a traditional airship.

Moreover, Qin Shouzhuo did not deliberately hide it when he set off, everyone could see it clearly, the strange-looking "airship" did not enter the wind tunnel, and it had already surpassed other airships that were moving at full speed in the wind tunnel, but at that time, it was just a hasty glance, and he did not put the data in front of him so intuitively.

If all this is true, it will be a major technological revolution that will not lose the invention and promotion of the airship, and both the Empire and the Holy See have made up their minds to obtain this technology, which undoubtedly represents the future.

Given that Qin Shouzhuo was already engaged to Sophia, and the Emperor Lawrence began to calculate that he wanted to rush the progress of the marriage between the two and turn Qin Shouzhuo into a royal person as soon as possible, the attitude of the Holy See could no longer play a decisive role, at most affecting whether this technology was used openly or secretly reserved.

The main reason for the delay in the various factions of the empire is that the key figures of the incident: Victor Mu and Qin Shouzhuo, have not been heard. The former can be said to be a long way from the Holy See headquarters to the Lawrence Empire, and the transmission of information is slow, while the latter is simply not alive or dead.

After a long period of unknown whereabouts, just when everyone was speculating whether Qin Shouzhuo had fled and did not dare to return to the Lawrence Empire, Qin Shouzhuo slapped them hard with the facts.

What no one knew was that taking advantage of Qin Shouchuang's fanfare to return to the imperial capital to attract attention, an ordinary four-wheeled carriage mixed with passengers and goods quietly came to the back door of the courtyard of the dean's dormitory of the War Magic Academy, and unloaded a girl covered in black veil and walked away.

Princess Sophia entered the palace the day after she returned to the city, and she had to explain to the queen that she had been missing for a long time, and she didn't care whether the answer was true or not, at least she had to be able to say it. And Princess Sally also entered the palace the next day, but she was not there to explain the movement, but to be questioned in the court for the matter of privately mobilizing the strategic reserve of the imperial magic crystal.

Magic crystals are such a precious thing, everyone pretended to be confused at the beginning, so they should be lent to Princess Sally, anyway, they can be recharged repeatedly, but they still have to be paid back when they are used up, after all, the landlord's family has no surplus food.

As for the result of the questioning, it is said that the emperor and the left and right ministers all fell ill every day, and the officials of the court and the central government said one after another to Princess Sally's behavior of using the magic crystal as a thunder envoy in the palm of their hand: Fortunately, this daughter is not his own.

After the battle of the day, Elsa Camila and her mercenary group accepted Qin Shouzhuo's invitation and became a security branch under the Shiweitian Holding Group. Qin Shouzhuo had already thought about it, since Rafael had been recaptured, he would not run around again in a short period of time, so he would seriously develop his strength and keep a low profile for a while.

Speaking of which, in this world where magic and vindictive spirit are all in vogue, magic crystals, magic crystals, various spell-casting materials, auxiliary drugs, and special metals that can enhance magic and vindictive energy are all controlled items, but steel as a base is not in the ranks of control, Qin Shouzhuo, who learned of this situation, was really surprised, and only then did he have the plan to build a steel base.

Five days after returning to the imperial capital, Qin Shouzhuo took Sophia to find a 42-year-old mid-level magician and told him the news of Shirley Noem's death. As a 42-year-old mid-level magician, Gregory Bataan basically had no future in his life, which is why he accepted the invitation to become the Caravan Guardian Mage of the Nome family, and it was precisely because of this that he met Shirley Noem, who was only 8 years old at the time.

When she was a child, Shirley was very sensible, respected her teacher, and had a good talent, which left a good impression on Gregory, and took the initiative to accept Shirley as a disciple, and strongly advocated sending Shirley to the Academy of Magic.

Knowing the death of his disciple, especially the last-minute choice, Gregory couldn't say a word, he only had a nameless master-apprentice relationship with her, and the Nome family was more concerned about the price change of alcohol than the death of a daughter. When Gregory took Qin Shouzhuo to find the Nome family's mansion in the imperial capital, a group of family elders were discussing sending another daughter to the Papal States, and whether to order another daughter to approach Qin Shouzhuo.

For the attitude of the Nome family, who had completely forgotten Shirley's existence, Gregory felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he could only desperately pour himself wine and get drunk.

Qin Shouzhuo and Sophia couldn't say anything, so after arranging a place for him to live, they left an invitation letter from United Industry and left. Two days later, Qin Shouzhuo retrieved the invitation letter that had not been opened from the gatehouse of the princess's mansion, but he did not see Gregory, it is said that he has left the imperial capital, and no one knows where he went, but he is a middle-level magician, and he will never starve himself.

This was the first and last encounter between Qin Shouzhuo and Gregory. This affectionate and righteous old man left the sad place of the imperial capital, and did not take advantage of his disciple's death to gain benefits for himself, but chose to leave far away, compared to the group of the Nome family is simply scum.

The Nome family was then disqualified from operating in the Lawrence Empire, and the whole family fell into chaos, and for Qin Shouzhuo, who came to visit, sent Shirley's cousin, a daughter, dressed pure and beautiful, full of youthful temptation, and its purpose was self-evident. Looking at the girl who was enthusiastic and shy on the surface, but there was an indifference in her eyes, Qin Shouzhuo only felt disgusted, feeling worthless for Shirley and her sisters and sisters. Compared with Shirley, who is still alive, they are more concerned about which daughter to send to Victor to take Shirley's place.

Qin Shouzhuo's life returned to peace and returned to Class A, which had been absent for a long time, but there were no more Rafael and Witte Dion in this class.

Thanks to the education system of the Academy of Magic, excellent apprentices often start to study with regular teachers very early and no longer appear in the class often, so many students only think that he has begun to study with the head of Christina, but they are envious but only speed up their own learning progress, and do not know about this series of events that happened outside the school. And those who are from the upper echelons and have a wide range of information, looking at Qin Shouchou's gaze is even more complicated, compared to the classmates with lower backgrounds, although they are already well-informed, but after slapping the face of the Holy See, they still came back to school seriously, they are also the first time to see them.

After successfully firing the first magic cannon in his life (why do I feel so dirty), Qin Shouzhuo's learning progress, or actual combat effectiveness, has far surpassed that of other students in the same grade, and the head of the house Christina was overjoyed, and specially approved Qin Shouzhuo to stop reporting to Class A except for occasional exams and other affairs.

In fact, Qin Shouzhuo is not the only one who does this in Class A, which has almost become a common phenomenon in Class A, which is a proof of being a top student. As a top student class whose progress is far beyond other classes in the same period, by this period, professors have begun to pick people one after another, and the selected students will be grouped into groups to study under the names of each professor, and they will basically not return to the class if they are fine. This part of staying in the class and continuing to study collectively is dangerous in every sense, and it is very likely that the next exam will be replaced by the top students in class B.

Under the cover of many scholars, Qin Shouzhuo, who had been missing for nearly a month, did not seem so abrupt, and the strange teaching mode of the Imperial University gave Qin Shouzhuo more time to do chores.

Qin Shouzhuo, who returned to the imperial capital, was not so carefree on the surface, because he was not sure of the attitude of the Holy See and the Empire, Raphael did not even dare to show his face in public, so he could only sneak into the Imperial University and hide in the dormitory of the head of the Christian Academy when Qin Shouzhuo returned to the city to attract everyone's attention. And Qin Shouzhuo, as pathfinders, is also ready to break through the blockade and leave the Lawrence Empire at any time.

As time passed, the attitude of the Holy See seemed to be that there was no attitude, while there were many factions on the Imperial side, and there were those who enthusiastically and directly treated Qin Shouzhuo as their own and provided a lot of information, and there were also those who hugged the thighs of the Holy See even more and were even more hostile to Qin Shouzhuo. However, several bigwigs still have an ambiguous attitude, allowing their subordinates to connect in tandem at will, but they don't express their position.

However, General Biden, deputy chief of staff of the Imperial Army, as a military boss, was the first to express goodwill, and in less than a week after Qin Shouzhuo returned to the emperor, he brought an order for four self-propelled magic cannons, plus the maintenance and bug fixes of the previous four magic cannons, with a total price of 360W silver coins, which shocked the imperial business community again.
