Luke waved his hand and told the rest of the crew to leave the car. After the doors at both ends were closed, he said, "How credible do you think this news is?" ”

Agatha's face was solemn and deep in thought.

Augustine the Great asked Empress Christina to assist in government affairs, even before they left the imperial capital for the West. It's just that at that time, the queen only read the chapters and documents for the emperor, and did not have the power to give instructions.

But how could such a major change take place in the court in just one month?

Agatha told Luke her analysis: "Queen Christina is from the Kingdom of Russen and is a very traditional royal princess. Her father, the Empress who married me, kept a very low profile in the palace, and had no hobbies other than reading, and rarely even left the palace.

The queen has no foundation in the court, and the kingdom of Lusen will not have any side in the court.

I guess my father let the queen handle government affairs on his behalf for health reasons, so that he doesn't have to worry that he won't be able to get his power back. If her father really died, she would not dare or have the ability to keep it a secret.

Those who spread such rumors will be punished! ”

Luke's heart did not approve of Agatha's judgment.

Empress Christina is not without roots in the empire, although she can only control the palace, but she can still do such a thing as a secret mourning.

"It's your family business!" Luke didn't know exactly what was going on in the palace, so he first removed himself from this incident: "After I arrive in the imperial capital to complete my debriefing, I must return to Angry Waves City as soon as possible, there are too many things to delay in a month in the western border. ”

Agatha understood that Luke was reluctant to wade into the muddy waters.

"If it weren't for the identity of the eldest princess who couldn't change, I wouldn't want to face that pile of bad things. I don't know what those people think, but we are doing our best to keep the empire stable and stop foreign invasions, and they ...... You can only see the throne. ”

Speaking of annoyance, Agatha slammed her fist into the table, and the metal top sank into a dent.

Luke didn't know how to comfort him.

The court of the Golden Shield Empire has completely changed, and there is no strategy, and he doesn't know what the situation in the palace is now.

Was Augustine the Great alive or dead?

To what extent did Empress Christina gain control over the palace and what would she do next?

What role does the eldest prince Fania play in it? Will he lead his troops to storm the palace?

And how will the second prince Alec react when he hears the news? Will he lead the newly reorganized Western Legion to march towards the imperial capital?

Luke could imagine what Agatha would face when she arrived in the imperial capital, and at this time...... The invasion of the Artshire Union is imminent!

Luke suddenly had an urge to tell Agatha: I'll face it with you.

He knew that Agatha was also waiting for the promise he had given her.

But two people can't both fall into it.

"Let's continue with the previous division of labor. You are investigating what is the current situation of Your Majesty in the imperial capital, stabilizing all parties from allowing the situation to escalate, and investigating the source of the rumors.

The East Sea and the North are handed over to me. ”

Agatha looked at Luke.

She did want him to accompany her to investigate the matter, but reason told her that Meteor was right.

If the struggle of the court is not handled well, the operation of the entire empire will come to a standstill. If no one deals with external pressures, the country will perish.

In this case, someone must stand up and take on the heavy responsibility that others cannot bear, and turn the tide in the crisis.

Agatha said to Luke, "Leave it to me to stabilize the court and investigate. The eastern sea area is against the Leo Kingdom, you have been laid out for a long time, I am relieved. However, the North faced a very powerful Arte-County Alliance, and the Northern Legion was very weakened, and most of it was controlled by Fania. ”

"Then I'll go talk to the eldest prince. After all, if he was beaten by the Atlantshire Union from the north, it would not do him any good. ”

"That's the only way to do it......" Agatha turned her head to look out of the carriage, leaving the oasis covered with gravel, and she said faintly, "God bless the Empire!" ”

Luke picked up the newspaper and read it.

The train clanged along the tracks to the east.

In the west, the grassland of the ancestors, the moonlight royal court.

Surrounded by lush craters, the surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror. The World Tree in the middle of the Moon Lake had grown to a kilometer in height, and the huge canopy of trees shrouded the entire surface of the lake below.

Under the World Tree, Clear Sky sits cross-legged on the surface of the lake and enters deep meditation with his eyes closed. Bits of green light swirled slowly around her body, sometimes burrowing into her body and then out again.

At this moment, the clear sky entered a state that she had never experienced before, looking at herself and the world from a special perspective, as if everything existed in some kind of law and connection.

After learning the ancient golden language, Qingtian soon realized what was happening to him.

Mystical energy is everywhere, it can be weak undetected or powerful enough to destroy the world.

The Arcane Word is a way to stimulate the mystical energy, and the known Mystic Language, even if it is added to the secret words recorded in Luke's phone database, can only use a very small part of the mystical energy that exists.

Ancient civilizations were only so powerful because they had mastered extremely convenient methods of casting arcane words, and had sounds, shapes, and cognition to directly mobilize mystical energy for their own use.

Ancient writing is the analysis and application of secret arts.

This means that the arcane art is not the irregularity of the current common consensus, and belongs to empirical academics. It actually has its own set of logic, which can be learned, utilized, and created.

It's just that in the ancient war, the loss of the artifacts of the five civilizations made it more difficult to inherit the ancient script. Now the five ancient civilizations have been created, not to mention created, and after thousands of years of loss, there is not much left of the ancient writing that has been handed down.

Now the clear sky can be very sure that what he is now feeling from meditation is the underlying logic of mystical energy. It's just that his current knowledge can't see through the law, and he can't use the ancient golden language to reflect it.

This is the World Tree's interpretation of the mystical energy contained in all things in the world, and it is another ancient language system, an ancient language that is different from the five ancient civilizations.

The clear sky of epiphany thus understood what the so-called artifact was.

The artifact is actually the decoder of the mysterious energy, and the race that masters the artifact can analyze the mysterious energy through the artifact, so as to summarize the method of systematically using the mysterious energy, so there is an ancient language.

The artifact is also a server, and the ancient civilization races send instructions through the ancient language, and the artifact initiates the secret arts.

The difference between ancient languages and magic is that the magician is an independent terminal, and his own strength determines the level of power he can unleash magic; Ancient languages, on the other hand, rely entirely on artifacts as a server, and mastery of ancient languages determines the power of unleashing skills.

Therefore, the loss of the artifact caused the server signal to be weak and the latency was high, which directly caused the rapid decline of the ancient civilization of a prosperous era.

By this inference...... The World Tree is the artifact of the ancestral grassland.

It's just that the creatures of the ancient ancestors of the grassland had no way to communicate with the World Tree, and they didn't know how to use an artifact in the air, otherwise there would be not five civilizations but six in ancient times.

From this, it can be understood why there was a great war in the ancient paradise of the ancestors on the grassland, which eventually led to the destruction of the World Tree.

If you can't get an artifact, no one wants to get it!

Clear Sky opened his eyes and looked at the World Tree, which resonated with him.

This thing attracts more firepower than the Book of Calamity.

Fortunately, in the game's plot, the World Tree doesn't seem to attract the attention of the five ancient civilizations too much. I don't know because the ancient civilizations of today don't know the true function of the World Tree; Or do they know, but for some reason they don't dare to fight openly.

After all, the World Tree is so big that it can't be moved, and if it is destroyed again in the middle of the competition, no one will be able to reap any benefits.

This is the only artifact in existence!

It's another big problem.

Clear Sky didn't have much joy for discovering the secrets of the World Tree. As the Moonlight Queen who inherited the authority of the previous generation of World Trees, there should be guests coming to her door soon.

"Her Majesty!"

When the sky was clear and she didn't know whether to be happy or worried, Modisti, who had become the patriarch of the Yueyong tribe again, stepped on the ripples and walked behind her.

Modisty knelt down on one knee, bowed her head and shouted softly and reverently.

The sky floated up and stood on the water again, turned to Moddy and said, "The revival of the World Tree is a serious accident for this world. In light of the disasters that have occurred in the past, the Moonlight Court must quickly assemble a defensive force to defend the World Tree. ”

Modisty looked up, and the core gem hanging from her chest was extremely dazzling.

She said firmly: "The Moonlight Knights, the fierce battle song, the lords of the ancestral steppe, and all the barbarians of the Western Realm will swear to defend our World Tree to the death." ”

"It's not enough to have a desperate heart. I think the ancestors of the past also paid a tragic sacrifice to defend the World Tree, but the ending was ...... We all know that.

Guardianship requires not only determination, but also the strength to defeat all enemies.

The outside world already has relatively mature means of improving individual strength. As a professor of magic and head of the Mystics Department at Oulu Academy, I intend to open a Transcendent Warrior Research Lab that will integrate all the techniques and equipment I can call upon to research and nurture transcendent warriors.

I need volunteers to act as experimenters. ”

"I'd like to volunteer." Without any hesitation, Modesti said, "I can give my life to prevent the disaster from happening again." I only hope that when I die, I can be buried in the Moon Lake, so that I can become a tree man and continue to protect the World Tree. ”

Clear Sky pulled Modisty up and said with a smile, "Don't be so tragic. All experiments will be conducted after repeated demonstrations and animal experiments, and human experiments will only be started when the safety rate is ensured.

You have received the blessing of the World Tree, you have a core gem, and you have very strong recovery powers, so you are indeed the right person to take on this development. ”

Modésti's expression was much more relaxed: "Thank you to Her Majesty for the trust she has placed in me, it is an honor for me to contribute to this project. ”

"Let's go and prepare, pick nine moon knights to follow me to Saint Lun City."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Modisty saluted the clear sky, then stepped on the ripples and walked towards the shore.

Clear Sky turned to look up at the World Tree.

"You're slippery...... Choose one of the easiest responsibilities! ”

After finishing the affairs of the Moonlight Court, Clear Sky set off with Jenverny, the sheriff, and ten Moonlight Knights back to the city of St. Lun. Among the ten moon knights, in addition to the familiar Modesty, there is also the orc Kyl Hain.

Imperial St. Lun.

Luke and Agatha finally arrived at the St. Lun train station after a long bumpy ride. They were greeted by a welcoming procession on the platform and then boarded a carriage to the palace.

An emergency Imperial Cabinet meeting was held, but the Emperor did not attend the meeting, and he sat in the position of Empress Christina.

At this time, Empress Christina had already faintly revealed some of the majesty of a king, and her sharp gaze swept over the ministers at the conference table.

The door to the conference room closed, the palace guards took their positions, and the shield opened.

"First of all, let's welcome back the eldest princess Agatha and Viscount Meteor, who have returned from the Westside with a great victory.

So that the empire does not need to worry about the western frontier in the short term, it saves countless wealth for the empire, and saves countless young people from being buried in the yellow sand. ”

Applause......

Some people shoot very hard, and some people just shoot perfunctorily twice.

When the applause stopped, Queen Christina said to Luke, who was sitting under Agatha, "Your Majesty is very, very happy after reading the letter of allegiance sent by the nobles of the Western Realms, and has recovered a lot, both physically and mentally. He appreciated your contributions to the Westside and decided to give you the reward you deserved.

It's just that some of the information is not detailed enough, and Your Majesty is eager to know what you have done in the Western Realm to make such a big decision for the nobles of the Western Realm. ”

However, without waiting for Luke to answer, the eldest prince Fanya, who was sitting on the other side of the conference table, said in an unkind tone, "Queen Mother...... You just said that your father has recovered a lot physically and mentally, why did you say this morning that your father was not feeling well, and that he could not even see his favorite eldest son and eldest grandson? ”

Empress Christina looked at Fania and replied slowly but with a sense of oppression: "I am just relaying His Majesty's will, and it is not up to me to say when Your Majesty is feeling well. If you think I'm lying, you can go to His Majesty's bedroom to find out. ”

Fania said menacingly, "Do you think I don't dare? It was Millscom who pulled me! ”

Christina said: "Fania...... Your Majesty's body needs to recuperate, so I said that I can't see you, what do you want to verify by insisting on seeing Your Majesty? ”

Fania stared at Christina and said, "I am the son of my father, and I am the great prince of the empire. I have the right to know the true physical condition of my father, and I have the obligation to serve him.

It's you who ......

Why did my father suddenly announce that you would be in charge of state affairs? Why is there no one but you?

Not even his son, grandson, and even his favorite princess Dale are gone!

I need you to explain it to everyone here right away! ”
