……

After the rain, the empire was shaken by the constant instructions from the palace, and the streets, squares, taverns, shops, office buildings, factories, ...... All the places swept by these waves of news were as quiet as if time had stood still.

It's so sudden!

Many people had already expected this war to come, but they didn't expect it to be today. Without any warning, it was as if the Emperor woke up today and slapped his head and made this decision that everyone did not expect.

Even newspapers, which are known for being well-informed, were overwhelmed by the news. The newspapers sold today have become waste paper in the blink of an eye, and the newspaper can only send out all the reporters to collect detailed news through all the connections.

There was a group of reporters outside No. 236 Tongmulberry Avenue.

They all noticed a new plaque hanging outside the iron gate of the house.

"Six Divisions of the Imperial Intelligence Agency"

Four uniformed Imperial agents stood guard outside with knives on their shoulders.

This posture frightened many reporters from approaching.

The secret intelligence bureau has already changed color, and the secret service of the secret intelligence bureau is a place where it is easy to enter and difficult to get out.

However, the emperor suddenly canonized the meteorite at this time, and there must be a deep intention behind it. After all, what happened to the falling star when he first came to the imperial capital was seen by everyone, and now His Majesty has simply given a part of Princess Dai'er's dowry in advance.

The eldest princess set up a secret service of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau here.

The meteorite is about to soar into the sky!

Several reporters boldly stepped forward to ask for a briefing, hoping to interview the Acting Governor of Meteor. It seems that a fierce Imperial agent enters the report, but what comes out is a strong man with mechanical arms.

"It's all gone! Don't look at what kind of place it is. Our governor is too busy to see you. Don't huddle around here, a car will drive out and kill you in a while, and we'll have to wash the floor! ”

Pisco already had a fierce face, and then his hands collided and sparks sparked, and the people gathered outside immediately retreated in fright.

But a young man with a felt hat and an ill-fitting jacket approached in a shudder.

"Sir, I'm ...... I'm a friend of Miss Karina. ”

Pisco wanted to give the young man a punch, but the fist stopped when it hit him. The fist lifted the young man's hat, and he was so frightened that he held his head and closed his eyes, thinking that he was going to die here.

"Do you know Karina?"

Pisco's tone changed suddenly.

In the past, when he was in the Haijiao District Office of Angry Waves, he and Xuelai were breaking eucalyptus outside, and when they came back, Karina helped them write the report. Although Pisco is simple, he still has a lot of respect for Karina.

Now that Karina is the personal secretary of the Governor of Meteorfall, her friend, she certainly can't be treated the same as everyone else.

The young man opened his eyes, saw Pisco's change of attitude, and immediately said: "My father used to be a gardener in Miss Karina's family, and I grew up with Miss Lady. It's just that the young lady's family suddenly suffered...... We haven't seen each other in years.

My name is Johnny Norton, and I am the son of Mirjan Norton, and you tell Miss Karina that she must know me. ”

Pisco looked Johnny up and down, "You wait here!" ”

Pisco turned to leave, and told the guards to drive the people out of the house.

The guards began to chase people, and the surrounding reporters had to retreat, making Johnny more visible as he remained in place.

But the reporters didn't go far, standing far away on the other side of the road, to see if the novice could get in.

Johnny picked up his hat from the ground, dusted it off and put it back on. I checked the pen and notebook in my pocket, and I was both expecting and afraid of seeing the meteor.

If you can interview the meteorite, even if it is only one question, you can be valued by the editor-in-chief. You can have a better salary, a better salary, and a desk of your own.

You don't have to help people serve tea and pour water all day long, and do some chores.

I don't know if Miss Karina still knows me, and I haven't seen her since that incident. Only to know that her parents are dead, she went to the city of angry waves......

Johnny waited apprehensively.

If it weren't for the newspaper sending everyone out, I wouldn't have had this opportunity at all.

After a while, Pisco walked out.

"Boy, lucky. My Governor has been interviewed by you, and I remember to thank you, Miss Karina. ”

"Really?" Johnny exclaimed in disbelief.

He originally wanted to see Karina first, and then indirectly asked if he could interview the Acting Governor of Meteorite, but he didn't expect to be able to meet Meteorite directly.

"Of course it's true! Meet me first, and she will teach you the etiquette of meeting my governor. Call the governor, remove the word 'generation', don't upset my governor, or I'll blow your head off." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Johnny replied in a panic, then glanced at the reporters across from him and followed Pisco through the door.

Luke looked in the mirror in the room, trying on the royal knight's armor of glory that he had just received. This suit of armor is more decorative than defensive, and the various bells and whistles are disassembled...... Luke didn't even know how to put it on his body.

Xuelai was called to help, and Xuelai, who had been a soldier, didn't know how to install some parts.

In desperation, Luke had no choice but to call for sandpaper.

As a mechanical remodeler, Sandpaper was the first time she had seen the Glory Royal Knight Armor, but her professional eye allowed her to quickly figure out the structure of this armor.

The armor is put on the body, and the built-in alchemy automatically activates to adapt to the tightening and then locking. Luke moved his body as if he was wearing a thicker garment, which didn't affect his agility except for being heavier.

Moreover, as the ceremonial armor of the senior royal knight, the glory royal knight armor is indeed gorgeous, showing the royal style and the majesty of the knight to the fullest.

I have to admit that although the Golden Shield Empire is a little older, the art that has precipitated is much higher than those new countries in terms of tension and rendering.

That damn sense of glory made Luke even feel the urge to be loyal to the Empire.

Impulses are the devil, impulses are the devil.

Overcoming the contagiousness of his armor, Luke poses in front of the mirror a few times, then asks Snow to take it off for himself.

Then he changed into the governor's uniform that came with the appointment letter of the acting governor, and put on the golden shield ribbon given by the emperor.

Truth be told, Emperor Augustine appointed himself as the acting governor of Fury Waves, which was indeed a surprise to Luke. This was almost an official endorsement of his current power and status in Raging Waves, officially recognized by the Empire.

He even gave military power as well.

Now Luke is a political, economic, and military leader, and has become a feudal official who controls important cities in the empire.

Augustine the Great gave a lot of courage, and Luke had to admire this courage.

At the same time, I also understand the intentions behind Augustine and his subsequent actions in the future.

"Acting Governor"

Well used.

While the empire is concentrating on dealing with the south and the west, it can stabilize the heart of the empire and let the city of the Angry Waves play a good role in logistics and contribute money and materials to the war.

It also left a trail for the end of the war in the future.

Although the Acting Governor nominally has the military power of the Imperial Navy stationed in Fury Waves, in reality this army cannot be intervened by outsiders. At most, Luke will use the Angry Waves Navy to fight foreign wars, and it will not be easy to fight internally.

The rest of the politics and economics were originally in Luke's hands, and Augustine the Great was just a favor. The establishment of the Governor in the City of Angry Waves has become a fact, and if the Acting Governor is disobedient in the future, the Acting Governor can be removed and another Governor can be established.

When the empire finishes settling the hereditary noble lords, and then goes back to solve the city of Angry Waves, it has the legal support to take the city back to its direct jurisdiction.

Augustine the Great wanted to do a great feat that no previous emperors had done, pushing the imperial power to the pinnacle, so that there would be no disobedience in the empire.

Of course, Augustine the Great knew that Luke could read his intentions. He hoped that Luke would be able to understand the current affairs, and if he obeyed, he would become the true governor of Fury Waves, and that if he found Dale, he would be able to marry the princess.

Become a member of the Imperial Imperial Family.

In the face of an emperor like Augustine, Luke was still a little in awe. It's just that...... Lifespan is the emperor's worst enemy. Now that the Empire's civil war is about to begin, there will only be more intense court battles and pressure on the northern frontier that will increase over time.

I don't know if he'll ever live to the grade he's supposed to live to.

When he dies, who will hold up the fallen empire?

"Lord Governor!" Karina walked in: "Johnny Norton, a reporter for the daily newspaper Saint-Lun, is waiting outside, and he wants you to do an exclusive interview with you. ”

Luke walked over to the desk and sat down, and said to Karina, "Let him in." ”

"Yes, Governor."

Karina brought Johnny in and whispered to him at the end.

Johnny had never seen such a high-ranking official, and he had just been out there for a moment, and now his legs were a little trembling with fright.

Standing in the doorway, Johnny saluted Luke: "Honorable Governor of Angry Waves, Royal Knight of Glory, Superior Council of Angry Waves, Chief Inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Angry Waves, and Sir Meteor, Director of the Secret Service of the Secret Service.

I'm Johnny Norton, a reporter for the daily newspaper São Lun, and thank you for summoning me.

……”

The nervousness made Johnny stammer, and finally forgot the words.

Luke said, "All right! I don't know what Karina taught you, you can forget all of that.

I accept your interview because of the reasons why Kailina fought for you, and I also want to express my respect for His Majesty to the Imperial Capital through your newspapers, as well as my greetings to the residents of the Imperial Capital.

You can ask whatever questions you want, and I will definitely say what you can answer.

Sit......

Karina, pour Johnny a cup of coffee, he's too nervous. ”

Luke was interviewed by Johnny and explained in detail what had happened in the city of Angry Waves to the people of the imperial capital through the mouth of his leader.

In the past, it was the new aristocratic forces of Nutao City that transmitted information to the imperial capital, and what they told must have a clear bias. Through Dale's previous impressions of Luke, you can see what kind of person the new nobles describe Luke as.

Coupled with his background in the Secret Intelligence Bureau, many people see Luke as a "demon" disguised as an adult.

When he was in Raging Waves, Luke didn't care what the imperial capital thought of him. But now he has to do some image PR for himself, even if it can't change the inherent impression of most people, it is good to be able to eliminate the rejection of some people by himself.

Luke wasn't a serious guy in the first place. During the conversation, Johnny quickly forgot about his nervousness and threw himself into this rare interview.

As Luke begins to face the city of Saint-Lun in earnest, Clear Sky arrives alone in a laboratory after a class in arcane arts.

She first used a spell to close the door, and then opened the barrier to complete the entire space.

With a flick of his finger, a crack broke in the air, and a mouse flew out of it.

The rat is the dark night, and when she lands, she has to run into the corner, but a glass covers her accurately. The outer layer of the glass was a magical embossed pattern, and the dark night continued to hit the glass wall to no avail, so I could only be honest.

Clear Sky placed the glass containing the dark night on the table and began to prepare the experimental tools.

Dark Night pleaded in the glass, "Miss Sunny Sky, I am Princess Dale's knight, and it is my duty to protect her. ”

Clear Sky put a pile of tools on the table and said to the dark night, "Playing with pets in class is a violation of classroom discipline, don't think I can't see you passing notes to each other among students, that's not protecting the princess."

She's not a princess here, she's an ordinary student named Jasmine.

Confiscating you is a punishment for Jasmine, and accompanying me for experiments is a punishment for you. ”

The night curled up, facing the clear sky staring at her, she had a helpless little expression. Apparently she had been caught by Clear Sky more than once for experiments under various guises, and the process of the experiment was very unpleasant.

"Miss Clearsky, please spare me."

"Spare you? That's not going to work...... This time, I have prepared an experiment partner for you, so let's get to know you. ”

Clear Sky places a cage on the table with a black cat inside.

The black cat actually smiled when he saw the dark night: "My name is Sheriff, what is your name?" ”
