Back at home, Luke drank the sobering tea that the goblins had brewed for himself, and looked at the mouse on the table in front of him in silence.

She wore an old-fashioned, double-breasted shirt with a leather cylinder hanging from her leather belt and several large sewing needles stuck in it. He wears a boat-shaped hat with a bird feather wrapped around the folded brim.

At this time, the mouse, whose name is Night, is saluting Luke, and the standard is very chivalric.

After a while, Luke couldn't help but ask Dale, who was sitting on the side, "You just gave the knighthood to a mouse?" ”

Carrying a plate and eating an after-dinner snack made by the Money-Hungry Elf, Dale answered Luke's question, "I gave her a name and signed a pact of allegiance, and she was naturally knighted." I'm curious, your first question turned out to be this, shouldn't you care more about what's in her soul? ”

Luke pouted and said, "Don't you know...... Haven't I even been knighted yet? ”

"No, it won't!" Daile seemed to have discovered something extremely funny: "You, you have added so much wealth to the empire in the city of angry waves, and you are not even a knight. But don't be discouraged, as an Imperial Princess, I can now fulfill your wish to become a knight. ”

Dale turned the fork in her hand and put it on Luke's shoulder.

Luke dodged the cheese-stained fork: "Don't bother Your Highness, I'm not interested in knights and noble titles." Let's talk about this Shadow Parasite iteration, are you really sure you want to take her in? ”

"Of course...... Don't worry, I'll hide her from Malken. ”

"I'm not afraid of being discovered by Malken." Luke looked at the night, and the gluttony leaped out of the back of his hand, pressing the night to his feet with a single dive. Like a cat's gluttony, it sniffs the food under its feet, and fireworks erupt from its nostrils. After Luke saw that Gluttony had controlled the Shadow Parasite's iteration, he said to Dale, "You don't know the habits of the Shadow Parasite, your noble bloodline has a fatal allure for her. The spirit contract makes her your servant, and it also allows her to imprint her own spirit in your spirit.

From then on, your spiritual power has become her nourishment. She will grow stronger and stronger until she can parasitize your soul. ”

Daile froze: "Yes, will it be like this?" ”

Dark Night immediately explained: "Your Highness! While it is true that I can draw nourishment from your spirit, I will never invade your soul without your consent, subject to the constraints of the contract. And I'm a Shadow Parasite iteration, and there's no way I'm going to replace you.

I...... I just fell in love with your noble bloodline, and I was satisfied to be able to get a little bit of it. ”

"You deceived me." Dale said viciously.

Dark Night argued, "I'm just hiding a little bit. Mr. Luke, since you know about the Shadow Parasite, you should know that I have no way to harm Her Highness. ”

Luke said to Dale, "The ShadowClans are assassins who walk in the dark, and it's in their instinct to disguise and deceive. But Dark Night is right, as long as you don't allow her to parasitize your soul, she can't actively invade, and there is no way for an incomplete Shadow Parasite to replace you.

However, in order to prevent accidents, necessary measures must be in place. ”

Luke stared at the night chanting a spell, the brightness of the gold-rimmed red scales of gluttonous red scales surging. The golden threads were pulled out of the glutton's body and combined into a spell in the air.

As the incantation was chanted, the incantation floated into the night, wrapping around her like a rope.

Dark Night exclaimed loudly: "Shuo Jinyu, you...... You're a shimmering man! ”

Although the Night Parasite discovered by the Empire had lost most of its abilities due to its mutilation, the war still left a deep imprint on its spirit.

As an iteration, Night instinctively has a deep fear and hostility towards the Glittering Gold who invade their civilization.

The night struggled hard, but the gluttonous dragon clawed into the hook and held her down. The spells were bound in circles, and finally after a flicker, they all sank into the body of the dark night.

A dragon groan came from the glutton's mouth.

The night cursed: "As a dragon, you have become a slave of the Shimmering Gold People. ”

Ignoring the night, it let go of its claws and flew into the air, crashing headfirst into the back of Luke's hand.

"You're no better." Luke said with a smile, "As a descendant of the Shadow Civilization, I have become a servant of the human race. In your time, the tribes of humanity were not even qualified to be vassals of the Shadow Civilization. ”

At this time, Dale, who finally recovered from the shock, asked Luke, "Are you the Glittering Gold?" ”

Luke denied, "No. ”

Dark Night jumped up and pulled out a sewing needle, and made an offensive gesture at Luke: "You are the Shimmering Gold!" It is impossible for a non-Glittering Gold person to use the Glittering Gold language so skillfully, you can't fool me, the sealing spell you cast on me must have been released by the Sparkling Twins at the same time. ”

A spark erupted from Luke's right eye, pushing the night a few times on the table, "Whatever you want, I'm not a shimmering gold!" I've used the Glittering Whisper to imprison you from the soul of this mouse. You can continue to get nutrients and energy from Dale's spirit through the spirit contract, but you can't change hosts without me unsealing it.

Serve your master honestly in the future, and with my evaluation of your loyalty, don't try to deceive her foolish brain again. ”

The dark night when he got up inserted the sewing needle into the sheath: "Of course I will serve Your Highness loyally." From the very beginning, I had no ill will towards His Highness...... Except for the moment when we first met. ”

At this time, Dale didn't know what to say.

Luke drank all the tea in his cup, stood up, and said, "Just when I was a wicked person." I'm going to rest, and there's still a lot to do tomorrow. ”

Luke put down his teacup and walked up the stairs.

Halfway through, Dale stopped him: "Thank you! ”

"No thanks, theoretically she really can't harm you, I'm just another insurance. Good night! ”

"Good night!"

The money-grubbing goblin shouted, "Good night, master. ”

While Luke was falling asleep, Alice spent one night selling her information all over the Downtown.

Mr. Luke gave Malken a check for 10 million Reichsmarks.

In the future, there will be an investment of 500 million yuan to be smashed here!

Everyone was extremely excited, and they were gearing up to get a little more money from this investment in their own hands.

The manpower around Luke's residence was strengthened again, and all those in the lower city were repeatedly warned by the elders of all sides. Do not jeopardize the safety of Mr. Luke and his wife, and do not obstruct Mr. Luke's visit to the lower city.

Cooperate, everyone must cooperate!

If you dare to be disobedient, you are ready to sink into the sewage reservoir!

The lower town is ready for a golden tomorrow.

At the same time, the Imperial Intelligence Service conducted a comprehensive raid on all properties related to the Tedgar Hills. Although doing so would widen the rift between the Empire and the Duke of Celts, since the rift already existed, Agatha couldn't care about much.

As long as you find evidence that the Tedgar Hills are rubbing sides with the Abyss Temple, the situation will be much more relaxed. If you can stimulate the Duke of Celt to make some moves, you will be much less stressed.

Agatha's big move tonight also made all parties in the city react passively. While everyone is wary of Agatha looking for someone to take the blame, they are also tandem with the impeachment of the eldest princess.

On the contrary, in the palace, except for strengthening the garrison, no orders came out.

Augustine the Great wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Other than that...... There are more people watching the Copper Mulberry Avenue. But since Princess Dai'er disappeared, the chief inspector of the meteorite has strictly forbidden people to go out, and all the people from Angry Waves City have honestly stayed in the courtyard.

The oppressive feeling of the palace struggle left everyone breathless.

One night, two atmospheres inside the walls and outside the walls.

The long night passes, and a new day arrives.

Luke, Dale, and Quickleg enjoyed their breakfast made by the goblins, and Dark Night also got a special little table on the table, eating the food on the plate with small utensils.

The fast legs, who had returned to Uptown last night, glanced at the night curiously, but didn't ask much, but said to Luke: "Sir, everything is normal on Copper Mulberry Avenue, but the Imperial agents have been very active all night. There have been a number of clashes between the Brotherhood of Blades and the Secret Intelligence Bureau, and the casualties are currently unknown.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess seemed to be in a hurry. ”

"She is not in a hurry or just sits and waits, it is better to stir up the situation more chaotic, so that everyone has to follow suit. Although it increases the danger to yourself, it is much better than not knowing how to bite a group of turtles. ”

Dale said worriedly, "Will Sister Agatha really be in danger?" ”

Luke said to Dale, "I don't know, this situation is on her own. Miss Sunny Sky has already informed the eldest princess of my attitude, and when she can't hold on, I will come forward with Angry Waves.

Miss Sunny Sky will also show force appropriately.

When the time comes, you will return to the palace and save the life of the eldest princess, so that she can go to Angry Waves City to be an idle princess. ”

Hearing that Agatha was not worried about her life, Daile was relieved: "Sister Agatha is so strong, but she is also dedicated to the empire, but her father can't see it." Now he doesn't trust anyone...... Is that seat that good? ”

"In your eyes it's a chair, of course it's nothing good. But in the eyes of others, it's something else, and they want to sit on it even if they try their best. ”

Dale suddenly looked at Luke, "What about you?" Do you want to sit too? ”

Luke didn't expect this kind of question to come from Dale's mouth, and he was surprised for a moment before reminding with a smile, "You're the princess of the empire." ”

"I'm not uncommon to be a princess. Tell me, do you want to be emperor? ”

Fast legs hurriedly walked out of the restaurant with their own food: "I'll go prepare the car."

Luke looked at Dale, her eyes pure as if they had never been polluted by the world.

"I don't want to!" After a while, Luke replied, "My greatest wish is to earn enough money to spend, to do whatever I want, and to eat whatever I want." Play games, make videos, and be a qualified social animal.

But fate played a joke on me and pushed me to this position.

I don't belong to me now, and too many people's lives are tied to me. I can only take on this responsibility and continue on this path that I don't like. No matter what seats are waiting for me in front of me, when it's time for me to sit down, I'll definitely sit down.

This is life, unpredictable, unsatisfactory. ”

Dale's mouth opened in shock, "I really should have let the Night Knight arrest you...... But what you say doesn't seem to be right.

I thought that the escape was my own business, but I didn't expect that the entire palace was about to be destroyed by me. I don't belong to me either, but I will stick to pursuing the life I love...... Start with every single day.

Where are we going today? ”

"The sewage reservoir, there must be a lot of people waiting for me there."

……

The sewerage is the basis for the existence of the lower town of Saint-Lynn.

Around the reservoir are hundreds of refineries and workshops, which use dredging pipes to extract the sludge from the bottom of the water and then extract the mud gold from the sludge in a series of processes.

The workload is very high, and there is uncertainty about how much gold can be produced per day. Some family-owned refineries may go bankrupt without producing or paying the extraction fees.

Or the equipment was damaged by a monster attack in the sewage tank, and finally went bankrupt because the mining fee could not be paid.

Or for other reasons, they go bankrupt because they can't pay the mining fees.

The mining rights of the reservoir are held by five mareal refineries with refining technology, which have a monopoly on the sewage depot with irreplaceable pyretic separation technology. Most of the refineries around the sewerage are controlled by the five of them, and other family workshops that want to mine the mud not only have to accept their exploitation when they sell the mud, but also pay high mining fees.

But even so, the family that has a workshop in the sewage reservoir is the envy of everyone in the lower town.

At this time, the elder Adrien sat in the courtyard of his workshop, smoking a cigarette in a muffled voice, and behind him was a factory building that had collapsed. His son and his hired men were struggling to salvage equipment that could be repaired, and several unrecognizable bodies lay on the ground beside them.

The sewage reservoir contains alchemical materials containing energy, and it is also an excellent place for corpses, and there are many unknown things that are discharged into this reservoir along the sewage. After a long time, some mysterious props will naturally be generated in it, and the reservoir will become a natural combination furnace of mysterious words.

When the refining plant tossed the bottom of the reservoir, I don't know what kind of secret technique will be released.

Near the sewage reservoir, some people have become stronger because of the secret arts, and some people have died of disability because of the secret arts. Sometimes the occult will create monsters and launch attacks on the workshop.

Old Adrian's workshop was attacked by a reservoir monster last night. The factory building was destroyed, several workers and workshop guards died.

This was a devastating blow to the old Adrian's refining workshop, and he invested all his money in the purchase of new excavation equipment, and the result was ...... It's all over.

While the elder Adrien was thinking about how to keep the workshop, a car drove in through the open gate.
