Chapter 153: Extremely Dangerous
When the news broke from the palace that the Grand Prince Fania had been executed by Emperor Augustine the Great, the troops involved in the coup quickly surrendered as the royal knights and court guards were dispatched.
But the turmoil is not over.
The mud monsters reverted back to puddles of stinky mud as the clear sky lifted the secret art, and the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, under the command of the eldest princess Agatha, began to arrest people all over the city.
The silver estate was seized.
The officials and nobles were all in danger, and they did not expect that Augustine the Great would execute Fania so decisively, without even a trial procedure.
Soon another order came from the palace.
Augustine the Great's health deteriorated after being disturbed by Phania and required continued recuperation and treatment. Empress Christina was appointed Empress of the Prison and continued to handle state affairs on behalf of the Emperor.
The next day, Empress Christina announced the convening of a meeting of the Imperial Cabinet.
Cabinet ministers went out under heavy protection, and the city's streets were covered with stinking sludge, and roadside sewers were digging deep gullies from the inside out.
The remnants of the night battle can be seen everywhere, and there are many corpses that have not had time to be collected and are lying in the streets.
Except for the Imperial Secret Agent, no one dared to go out at this time.
Occasionally, sporadic battles broke out in a corner.
When the cabinet ministers entered the palace and gathered in the Imperial Cabinet room, everyone's faces were extremely solemn.
What happened last night was so tortuous.
In fact, they are all ready to come to the palace this morning to pay homage to the new emperor.
Because no matter how you look at it, Fania is in control.
But everyone didn't expect that Meteor, the governor of Angry Waves City, who hadn't shown up for a long time, would run to Snow City in the north and bring Queen Christina back.
Precisely and timely appeared at the moment when Fania staged the coup d'Γ©tat.
Although the current emperor of the empire is still Augustine the Great, the ministers know about it...... This court is sure to usher in a major reshuffle.
I don't know if there will be a few familiar faces left in the next Imperial Cabinet meeting.
"Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Prison Country has arrived!"
With a shout from the guards, Empress Christina walked in through the door.
She was followed by the eldest princess, Agatha, and the Governor of Fury Waves, Meteor.
The ministers saluted the queen, and then everyone took their seats.
The door to the Imperial Cabinet room was closed, and Millscombe, the chief royal knight, still wrapped in bandages, stood behind the queen with his sword.
The Empress glanced at the ministers and said, "Your Majesty needs to continue to recuperate, and the order to appoint me as the Empress of the Prison Kingdom was given by Your Majesty himself in his senses, and was witnessed by the eldest princess Agatha, the governor of Fury Waves, Meteor, and the royal chief knight, Millcombe.
Do you have any objections to the cabinet ministers on whom Your Majesty has relied on you?"
The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to take the lead.
In the Winter War in the North and the Battle of Snow City, Empress Christina turned the tide and smashed the Atshire United's attempt to storm the Empire, transforming the Empress's image from a vase into a symbol of victory and bravery.
This time, Empress Christina suddenly returned to the city of St. Lun and became the most crucial figure in quelling the coup d'Γ©tat in Fania, and pushed the queen's prestige to a new height.
Now Empress Christina has the support of the Secret Intelligence of the eldest princess Agatha, the support of the Royal Knights under the command of the Knight of Millscomb and the palace guards, and the three personal soldiers of the royal family are in their hands.
The Governor of Angry Waves, Meteor, represents more than just a Raging Waves City. At this time, the influence of the city was no longer limited to the scope of one city, and with the empire's vigorous development of the coastal areas, the city became more and more important as the economic center of the empire.
The Innovation Society founded by Meteorite is a young Zhuang faction in the new aristocratic system, and its momentum is extremely rapid.
Plus the trust of Augustine the Great.
Who would dare to raise an objection in this matter at this time?
The ministers set their sights on Shousuke Gabriel.
"Ahem......" Gablel cleared his throat and said, "Since this is His Majesty's order, how can we have any objections. Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Queen's ability is obvious to all, and having you in charge of the country is not only reassuring Your Majesty, but we are also happy and convinced.
I think the most urgent thing to solve now is the northern and southern routes.
Fania though ...... He has come to the end he deserves, but his influence is still there. There are many generals loyal to Fania in the Northern Legion, as well as General Joshul who is leading the battle on the Southern Front, I wonder how they will react? β
Agatha said at this time: "Fania sent Sinclair to General Joshul before the coup d'Γ©tat, and it seems that he also prepared for the failure of the coup. β
The imperial grandson Sinclair is not in the city of St. Lun, and he can inherit all the inheritance of Fanya, which is a very big hidden danger.
Empress Christina turned to Luke and asked, "Governor Meteor, do you have any thoughts on the difficult questions raised by Gablel Shousuke?" β
The queen looked at Luke.
She noticed that Meteor had been a little absent-minded since he left the Emperor's bedchamber, and it seemed that something had been distracting him, even if he was attending a meeting of the Imperial Cabinet.
Questioned by name, Luke finally came back to his senses, and he said, "Her Royal Highness is in Snow City, a snow legion established on the basis of the defenders of Snow City. We can expand all the subsequent reinforcements into the Snow Legion, and notify the original Northern Legion that if they are willing to join the Snow Legion, they will continue to stay in the North; If you don't want to join, we'll arrange for a train to take them all to General Jossier.
Then Prince Sinclair was appointed commander-in-chief of the war on the Southern Front, and he was ordered to continue the assault on the Tedgar Hills, promising that all military expenditures and supplies would not be deducted. β
Empress Christina asked, "The Governor of the Falling Star means not to punish Sinclair for Fania." β
"It depends on Sinclair's performance in the future, after all, those who are bent on putting forward Fania to usurp the throne will not be willing to fail. My suggestion is simply to bring these people together and clean up the most critical northern theater first.
When General Joshul led his army to the southern front, he took most of the elite of the Northern Army with him. Simply let them all go to the south to face the Celtic dukes, and the empire can use this war gap to rebuild the Snow Legion to undertake the spring war against the Atlantic Union. β
At this time, Gabriel Shousuke asked: "If the Northern Legion is all going south, General Joshur's strength will be greatly increased, if the Northern Legion joins forces with the Barbarian Legion, how can the Empire resist?" β
Luke said, "I will go to the Tedgar Hills to make sure that the Legion of the North does not join forces with the Barbarian Legion. β
Before Luke could finish speaking, Empress Christina said, "You're going to the Tedgar Hills?" No way! It's too dangerous. β
"I've been to more dangerous places," Luke said. Please rest assured, Her Royal Highness the Queen, there is some tacit understanding that His Royal Highness Sinclair can be trusted.
And Miss Sunny Sky also has some things that she needs to do with the Abyss Temple. β
Agatha said, "Your Highness, I will accompany the Governor of Meteor to the Tedgar Hills. Sinclair, unlike Fania, needs to convince Sinclair if he wants to solve the hidden danger of the Northern Legion. β
Empress Christina saw that both Meteor and Agatha insisted on going to the Tedgar Hills to persuade Sinclair, so she had to agree: "Well, I don't know much about Sinclair, but I trust you." This matter will be handed over to the Secret Intelligence Bureau, and you must ensure your own safety first. β
"Yes, Her Royal Highness!"
"Yes, Her Royal Highness!"
Next, the meeting began to discuss the aftermath of the coup.
Luke continued to fish, talking about his opinion when he asked, and resolutely refraining from taking the initiative to express his opinion without asking.
His attention is in his own consciousness.
Exactly, it is the mobile phone that came into the world with me.
Ever since the phone mutated into consciousness, this thing has been very quiet.
Until Clear Sky killed the heroic Augustine the Great, the long-silent mobile phone suddenly sent out a prompt message.
[Long-term accumulation and high-pressure breakthroughs, so that your character can obtain an awakening state]
[The character will no longer consume the power of the mobile phone when it enters the awakening state, and the existence time is calculated based on your mental power.] (Based on the mental power you have now, you can maintain Clear Sky Awakening for one hour every 24 hours)
The duration of existence can be accumulated with the growth of mental power]
[Note: The character awakening will gain an independent personality, which has a certain degree of uncertainty and danger, and the execution of orders and tacit understanding will be reduced.]
Given the strength of the character, use the awakening feature sparingly. γ
After leaving the Crystal Palace, Clear Sky was taken back into his phone by Luckden, and now in the character page, the new "Awaken" button has a magical tattoo on it.
Press it, and Clear Sky will enter a state of awakening and gain an independent personality for an hour.
Since it is an independent personality, it must have an independent mind. Having your own thoughts means having your own ideas, and you will no longer listen to Luke's words.
Clear Sky's strength is so strong, if it is not controlled, an hour is enough for her to do a lot of things.
And what does an awakened clear sky look like? Curiosity tickled Luke's heart again.
The more I knew she was dangerous, the more I wanted to know how dangerous she was.
That's why Luke has been absent-minded all along, wanting to find a place where no one is there as soon as possible to summon the clear sky, and then let her wake up to see what it looks like.
However, there were too many things to solve in this Imperial Cabinet meeting, and it was held from morning to noon. Hearing that the meeting would continue in the afternoon, Luke, who finally couldn't bear it, excused himself for being unwell and ran away without waiting for Empress Christina's permission.
Back at the Sixth Division of the Secret Intelligence Bureau on Copper Mulberry Avenue, Luke announced that he would take a holiday today to kick out all the spies.
The gate is closed.
Luke arrives in a closed basement and arranges a set of arcane words out of existing mystical items.
Set up two chairs in the middle of the Whisper Array.
After a while, the clear sky of the landing arrived here from the palace.
The basement door is closed.
Luke and Sunny Sky sat opposite each other in their chairs.
Chanting the secret phrase: "Empty wall." β
As the mysterious items that make up the arcane language disappear, the walls, ceiling, and floor of the room disappear, and Luke and Clear Sky sit opposite each other in an empty void.
Then, with trepidation, Luke ...... Select "Awakening".
Clear Sky closes his eyes.
There is no lightning and thunder, no fighting spirit, and no sound of Hong Zhong Da Lu.
Be quiet!
The silence made Luke a little confused...... Did you be fooled by the mobile phone prompts?
However, it is true that the spiritual connection with the clear sky is broken.
"Clear sky?"
At this time, Qingtian's eyes suddenly opened, giving people the feeling of strangeness but familiarity.
"Luke, we're finally meeting."
Really awakened!
Instead of greeting the clear sky in the awakened state, Luke said, "First of all, you must know one thing, your existence is based on my existence, and it will not do you any good to hurt me. β
Clear Sky stretched out his hand to look at it, and his fingers moved as if he was familiar with the body.
At the same time, he responded to Luke's reminder: "Did I make you feel so scared? β
"If you switch places with me, you'll be scared too." Luke observes the clear sky in his awakening, trying to analyze her character and danger.
Clear Sky lowered his hand and looked at Luke, his eyes and expression showing no emotion.
"You have a point. I know you have a lot of questions for me, and I have some questions that I need you to answer. But can you give me some time, suddenly having so many memories makes me a little uncomfortable. β
"Absolutely!" Luke reminded, "But you only have an hour, and next time it will be twenty-four hours later, and my current mental power can't sustain your awakening for too long." β
"It won't be too long." The clear sky closed his eyes again.
Luke took out his pocket watch to check the time, then waited patiently for the sky to clear.
Looking at the awakened sky at the moment, it is not a grumpy character. Calm, even if it is dangerous, there is a degree.
After spending half an hour in such a quiet manner, Qingtian opened his eyes again, and his smile was a little witty: "You should know that some of your memories are left here with me." β
Luke shrugged helplessly: "As a game character, you have always been controlled by me. Everything I learn will be accepted by me, and some of my memories will naturally remain with her.
Some of the more personal memories make you laugh. β
"It's some very interesting memory. You don't belong to this world, and you were almost shot and killed by Shelley as soon as you crossed over. Your experience has been wonderful, and I need some time to savor it.
But what I find most interesting is ...... You've spent so much time designing my appearance for that purpose. β
As she spoke, Clear Sky summoned an ice mirror, and she couldn't help but be a little intoxicated when she looked at her face in the mirror: "It's perfect." β
Luke felt a little embarrassed.
"This ...... I used to be an otaku and didn't have a girlfriend, so I had to fantasize about it in the game by myself. But you can rest assured that I have never done anything bad with your body, and my memory can prove what I said. β
Clear Sky's smile was even more meaningful: "That's another interesting thing." Since I was created by you based on the perfect girlfriend in your heart, why did you control me and do nothing?
Be...... Because you've met a woman better than me? β
"Not ......"
Luke didn't know what to answer for a moment.
He found out how correct the prompts his phone gave him.
His intuition told him that this was definitely a dangerous woman!
Extremely dangerous!
