Chapter 144: Return the Body

Mrs. Ripples delivered the envelope and wooden box to the third floor.

"Prince Chen?"

Lei Luo got up and took the envelope and the wooden box, stunned.

Isn't the Moon Scar Space Node Quest already over?

Listening to the meaning of the old man who sent this letter, it seems that Emperor Chen is not protected by the Goddess of Wisdom Temple.

After Ripple handed the envelope and wooden box to Lei Luo, he looked cautious.

"Lei Luo, His Majesty the Emperor today, has a total of three princes, the eldest prince Bo Ao is undoubtedly the most favored one by His Majesty, but the aristocratic families and the church clearly support the second prince of Pingxin, as for the prince of Chen, ......"

Ripple shook his head.

"No one is optimistic about him, his birth was a mistake, I think the reason why he is wooing you is because he also knows that it is impossible for him to get the support of those big forces, and on the other hand, because of your mentor and senior brother Wushuang. I want to remind you that once you get involved in political disputes, you will have no way to get out of it, this is a very dangerous thing, even far more than the situation where you are now assassinated by the prince of Sealand, even your mentor and senior brother will not dare to get involved in the disputes of those big forces without permission. ”

Lei Luo nodded slowly.

"Hey. ”

Ripple knew that Lei Luo had his own plans in mind.

"In short, you have to think carefully, although joining the princely strife will give you more opportunities, the consequences of failure will not even be borne by your mentor. ”

With that, Ripple closed the door and turned to leave.

Lei Luo opened the letter from Prince Tatsu.

"My sincere friend, respected Mr. Lei Luo, I have encountered a trouble, only you can help me solve this trouble, I have no choice but to hope for our friendship, to be able to get your help, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the evening, night tavern 3002 private room, this gift is my sincerity. ”

Burning the envelope with his hand, Lei Luo opened the wooden box beside him.

"Huh?"

Lei Luo stared at the milky white spot of light that the pigeon eggs had dispelled, and muttered in distraction, "Moon Crystal!!"

Take a deep breath.

With the advice of Master Ripple just now, Lei Luo, who had no intention of interacting too much with Prince Chen, couldn't help but be a little shaken because of this moon crystal.

After picking up the moon crystal and putting it down several times, Lei Luo hesitated.

......

The next night.

Rustle of falling leaves, snow and rain......

The sky was drizzling, and Lei Luo put on his X mask, his body was shrouded in a black mist, silently blending into the darkness, and walked towards a certain part of the academy.

Room 3002 of the Night Hotel.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, and Prince Chen, who was waiting anxiously, raised his eyes, the old servant opened the door, and Lei Luo, who was wearing an X mask and was shrouded in a layer of black smoke, hurriedly walked into the room and looked at Prince Chen.

"Even in the academy, there is no guarantee of my safety, so I can only meet you in this way. ”

The rain soaked his clothes, and Relo took off his coat.

"It is already an honor for me to be here. ”

Prince Chen actually draped the luxurious animal skin coat on his body on Lei Luo's body.

"To be honest, I'm not sure if Your Excellency will go to the appointment, I think Your Excellency should know my current situation, right?"

"Well, actually, I don't know. ”

Lei Luo shook his head and said helplessly: "I rarely participate in aristocratic disputes, let alone understand the situation of His Highness, His Highness said in the letter that he is in trouble and needs my help?"

After being stunned for a moment, Prince Chen recovered in an instant.

"Yes, I want to borrow something from Your Excellency. ”

"What's that?"

"The corpse of my cousin Prince Ling!"

Belch?

Seeing Lei Luo's stunned expression, Prince Chen took a deep breath and sighed: "After all, he is my cousin, even if he dies, he should maintain the dignity he deserves, I have made a request to my father, hoping to be able to bury my cousin in the imperial tomb, and my father He agreed to my request." ”

Even a guy like Lei Luo, who is far away from politics, can also hear the deep meaning of Prince Chen's words.

Obviously, Emperor Chen wanted to use this cousin's corpse to make some fuss and reach some compromise with His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor agreed.

The reason why this prince is in a rather embarrassing situation in the principality is his mother's status as a princess of Sealand.

If he were a duke's heir, his mother's status as a Sealand princess would undoubtedly bring him great political benefits, but unfortunately, he was a prince, a man who might take over the country.

There will be doubts in everyone's minds.

No one knows, after His Majesty becomes the emperor of the principality in the future, will he not be able to guarantee the traditional interests of the principality because of his maternal bloodline?

He is, after all, half Sealand blood.

Such doubts are thought to be His Majesty the Emperor, and he is no exception.

Since there is this doubt, and there is no shortage of princes in the principality, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, they all have their own distinct political propositions, so there is no need to worry about such a prince.

Prince Chen looked at Lei Luo sincerely and earnestly.

"I know that Your Excellency needs a Mooncrystal, but this kind of magic material is extremely rare, even if I try my best, I can only get this piece, but I know a family of occultists, they have the source of this magic material, as long as Your Excellency can bury my cousin's body for me, in addition to this Mooncrystal, I am willing to introduce you!"

A family of occultists?

As far as Lei Luo knows, the moon crystal veins of the major principalities of the human race are probably less than ten.

Most of them are the same as the veins in the Moon Scar spatial node, and can only produce a few pieces at most per year.

Could it be that this mysterious family holds such a vein?

"Please rest assured, Emperor Ling is His Royal Highness's cousin, and I have always kept his body carefully, even if Prince Ling is dead, he really deserves a dignified burial, and handing it over to His Highness is the best choice. ”

Lei Luo didn't say much, and directly took out the body of Prince Ling who had been embalmed in the space ring, and even the neck was finely stitched together.

"Cousin!"

When Prince Chen saw the corpse, he immediately cried out in grief.

"I said I wanted to protect you, but you didn't ......"

"Your Highness mourns. ”

Lei Luo was quite embarrassed and comforted, and knew that this was the scene of Prince Chen, but he had to cooperate with the scene and stage a hypocrisy of the aristocracy.

After a long time.

The scene was enough, and Prince Chen put away the corpse and covered up the sadness on his face.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Lei Luo, for making it happen!"

Emperor Chen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lei Luo.

"In the Duchy of Morsey, there is a family of freelance scholars who have been exploring and developing the Quran ruins in various parts of the Star Curtain all year round, and often get moon crystals from them to sell to the major temples. The family wanted to be able to establish its own Academy of Natural Sciences in the Duchy of Morse, but the huge amount of money was simply not something that this small Duchy could afford, so it lobbied a lot of forces in the hope of getting support, and I made some donations in my own name and signed a personal pact with the family. ”

A family of archaeologists?

"Good. ”

Lei Luo took the letter of introduction.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Prince Chen suddenly said, "Your Excellency Lei Luo, thank you for helping me again, how can I get your allegiance support?"

With earnest and longing eyes, Prince Chen looked directly at Lei Luo, he already knew another identity of Lei Luo.

The secret weapon of the Glenn Academy of Natural Sciences, the Eye of the Sun!

"What does Your Highness think of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom?"

Lei Luo suddenly asked a clueless question.

Prince Chen's eyes froze, and he was silent for a moment.

Lei Luo smiled and said: "Your Highness, you know, I'm just a student in school, don't talk about allegiance and support, if Your Highness wants to get the support of my mentor, go to my mentor, I'm just an enlightenment student, a humble scholar who longs for power." ”

Nodding silently to the old man on the side, Lei Luo left the room.

"What does he want?"

Prince Chen took a deep breath, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking the old man questions.

"It should be a matter of His Highness's attitude towards the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, this Mr. Lei Luo seems to be a staunch atheist. ”

"Nope. ”

Prince Chen said in a deep voice: "No, what he is referring to should not be the Goddess of Wisdom Temple, all gods are unreliable......

Obviously.

Although Emperor Chen completed the task of the Goddess of Wisdom Temple, he did not get the support of the Goddess of Wisdom Temple, and he did not get enough support, and in the end he had to set his eyes on the man who made him fear and respect again, his father.

In exchange for Prince Ling's corpse, he had an equal chance to compete.

It's just an equal chance to compete in front of his father.
