After several days of preparation, on a rainy day, Princess Dale dragged her suitcase alone and boarded the train to Fury Waves. There, she would transfer to a ship bound for the Emerald Forest, where she would arrive at her destination after a two-week voyage.

Started her study abroad journey.

At the request of Princess Dale, no one came to see her off...... Only a few disguised Imperial agents quietly followed.

On the same day, a group of angels descended from heaven.

A World Bank airship arrived almost simultaneously.

In accordance with the order of the Marquis of Meteor, the Golden Shield Empire gave the Shining Gold Envoy the highest level of welcoming ceremony.

Gabriel, the first assistant of the Imperial Cabinet, Agatha, the eldest princess of the Empire, and the Minister of the Imperial Cabinet and the Governor of Angry Waves, Meteor, took a group of high-ranking officials of the Empire to the Imperial Airship Take-off and Landing Ground to greet them.

Royal knights in armoured horses are paraded.

From the Imperial Airship Landing Ground to the Imperial Palace, large groups of citizens were organized to welcome them. They waved the imperial flag and the emblem of the World Bank, and shouted slogans of welcome.

Everyone had a heartfelt smile on their faces.

The Golden Man, the World Bank, a lot of money...... There's no one who doesn't like it

On the other hand, the Angel Mission was much more deserted.

More than a dozen angels descended on the Imperial Center Square in a very high-profile manner, and the Imperial sent only a few elderly cabinet ministers to greet them. There were no royal carriages, no royal knights to open the way, and no crowds to welcome them.

Only the city garrison corps sent a military band and honor guard to pretend to hold a deserted welcome ceremony.

Then it's a drive to the Royal Palace.

The route was close to the route of the Glittering Gold Mission to the Imperial Palace, and the difference in treatment made the faces of each visiting angel very ugly.

When was it ever ...... The advent of angels is an incomparably grand event for the ignorant secular world, and the emperor and king will personally greet them, and the common people will bow down on both sides of the road religiously.

And now!

Muddy roads have been turned into smooth concrete roads, and humble stone houses have been turned into high-rise buildings. Steam buses run through the city, lined with shops filled with goods.

The clothes on people's bodies are not tattered, and their expressions are not pretending to be elegant, but the self-confidence that a rich life brings to them.

The unhappiness of being left out and the novelty of the mundane world make the angels in the car look at the scene on both sides of the road with mixed feelings.

"We've been away from the world for too long!"

An angel with a national character face couldn't help but sigh. He wore a white ancient Greek cloth robe, with intricate runes on it with golden silk threads. The pure white wings are folded behind his back, and his whole body exudes a holy halo. His curly white hair did not make him look old, but more stable and majestic.

The angel sitting next to him was slightly younger, he was wearing a white angel armor, light blonde hair, and a wreath of thorns on his head, and his expression was haughty and very oppressive.

"Archangel Gold, you also see what the secular world is like now. Everyone is chasing fame and fortune, which has caused moral decay. It's not that we've been away from the world for too long, it's that justice has been away from them for too long.

That's why we're here to build a church and shelter the faithless under the wings of the angels. ”

"Marus ......"

Gold called the young angel's name, and the young angel immediately corrected, "As the angel of the Holy Judgment, please call me by my holy name." ”

"Alright, Thorn Crown." Gold said casually, "Remember the purpose of our coming, and the construction of the Holy Church is just an incidental task. ”

"But this is an agreement negotiated between the Sword of Oath and the Emperor of the Golden Shield Empire, and it can't be because of ......"

"Thorn Crown!" Gold stopped the Thorn Crest from saying what he shouldn't say: "The construction of the Sanctuary in the Holy Lun City was a decision made by the Holy Inquisition without the consent of the Archangel Council, and Sky City has not reached a consensus on whether to return to the secular world or not.

As one of the archangels, I have the responsibility that Sky City has entrusted to me. ”

The Thorn Crown said very young and vigorously: "Carrying out justice is the real responsibility of angels!" ”

"You're right!" Instead of arguing with the crown of thorns, Gold turned his head to look out the window.

After thousands of years of cultivation, the newborn angel made the empty sky city after the war lively again. However, instead of experiencing the cruelty of war, the newborn angels were attracted by the heroic performance of the angels in the war. As a product of ancient warfare, the Inquisition has been on the front line of war, so it has attracted many new angels to join.

The current Inquisition is almost out of the control of the Sky City Archangel Council, showing a strong desire to return to the mundane world.

As one of the archangels, Gold is already a lazy arguer.

He just wanted to complete the mission of the trip.

Only angels who have seen the true power of the artifact know how powerful it is. The newborn angels could only use weak divine magic, and it was not at all clear what the artifact meant to a civilization.

In an era when all five artifacts are missing, the revival of the World Tree means that the only artifact may appear.

If the angels get it, is it still something that needs to be discussed?

Will the angels come down with this kind of neglect?

The young angel simply doesn't understand!

The angelic envoy entered the palace in a low-key manner, and then settled in a low-key manner, waiting for the reception of the queen of the prison country.

On the other side, the members of the Gloomy Gold Mission were enjoying a state banquet.

Empress Christina was personally present at the reception.

On the long dining table, fine gold ware holds exquisite food. The attendants and maids shuttled back and forth, and the guests of honor exchanged cups and drank cup after cup.

Except for the two elders of the House of Elders, the other members of the Glitter Gold Mission all serve in the World Bank and are very aware of the rules of the secular world.

No matter how happy I was at the banquet, I didn't talk about business. The Golden Shield Empire gave them enough respect, and they also did a very good job of etiquette.

A state banquet in which both sides ate and drank to their heart's content.

The Glittering Men went to their lodgings to rest, and the Imperial side convened a council of the Imperial Commanders and assigned tasks to each of them. No matter what the purpose of the Shuojin people's visit to the empire this time is, first negotiate the results in terms of money.

The money spent on this reception of the Shuojin people cannot be spent in vain.

At the end of the meeting, Luke is pestered by Prince MacDonald.

"Big brother, big brother...... Prince Macdonald called the big brother very kindly and naturally, he took Lukla to a secluded corner, took out a box and handed it over: "I bring you a little special product of the kingdom of Lusion, I hope you like it." ”

"When did you come to the imperial capital?" Luke asked Prince MacDonald, took the box and opened it, it was full of precious gems and pearls: "I didn't expect that the kingdom of Lusian is not only rich in grain, but also has this kind of specialty. ”

In response to Luke's ridicule, Prince MacDonald laughed: "I know that as the governor of Angry Waves City, you definitely don't like this thing, big brother, but this is all bought by me with my own money, and it is all my heart." ”

Luke knew that Prince MacDonald was bleeding so heavily, and he must have asked for it, so he accepted a box of gems and pearls and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

When Prince Macdonald saw that Luke had accepted his filial piety, he immediately said what he wanted: "I heard my sister in Luthen...... Our Royal Highness the Empress was appointed by Her Majesty as the Empress of the Prison State, so she came from Lusien.

Thinking that since I am the favorite brother of Her Royal Highness the Empress, how can I be a powerful official in the imperial court, but I didn't expect my sister to miss the family affection between us at all.

So I thought of you, big brother.

Arrange something for me to do in the imperial court, it's not a matter of your words, big brother. ”

Hearing that Prince MacDonald bribed him and made this request, Luke couldn't help but want to laugh: "You are the prince of the kingdom of Lusen, what kind of official do you want to be, go to your father and the king."

Her Royal Highness the Empress needs to avoid suspicion in the early days, how can she reuse the people of the Rusian Kingdom, especially her younger brother. ”

"That's why." was reminded by Luke, Prince MacDonald suddenly realized, and then said: "But the eldest brother must help me, just give me an official position." ”

"Why?" Luke saw that Prince MacDonald didn't want to be an official: "If you don't make it clear, I'm not going to be able to handle it......"

Seeing that Prince MacDonald looked distracted, Luke took out the box again: "I'd better give you back this thing." ”

"No, no, no, I say ......" Prince MacDonald had no choice but to tell the truth: "Fania's coup d'état and death caused a great stir in our royal family. Inside our royal family, in fact, it is not much better, but no one pays attention.

I'm now making money with my eldest brother and I'm in charge of a lot of cooperation projects with Angry Waves, so there are a lot of rumors.

I came to the imperial capital to join Sister Christina and let her protect me. ”

Luke sneered, "Protecting you? Protecting you, and by the way, protecting you as King Lusen? ”

Prince MacDonald immediately denied it: "I don't have that idea!" To be the richest prince is very satisfying. ”

Luke put the box away again: "No matter what you think, it is right to come to the imperial capital." You are not fit to serve in the Imperial Court now, so follow me first...... If you give me a retinue for a while, you won't feel wronged, right? ”

"How can you feel wronged!" MacDonald's family consciousness is very high, and when he encounters an opportunity to hug his thigh, hurry up, don't think about his identity: "If you can make me the retinue of the Marquis of Meteor, even if you pull me back to inherit the throne now, I won't go back!" ”

What a man!

"Okay. I don't ask much of my entourage, follow me to see and learn more, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. ”

"I understand, big brother. If there is anything in the future, just let me do it, and don't treat me as a prince. ”

"Let's go, come home with me first."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Prince Macdonald got into the groove very quickly.

It's just that the two met Agatha before they left the palace, and it turned out to be Yin with Agatha.

This time, the Glittering Gold people visited the Golden Shield Empire, and Pan and Yin were both members of the mission. They and Luke had met at the banquet, but they hadn't communicated much.

"Meteor! Director Yin is looking for you, I am afraid that she will get lost in the palace, so I specially brought her here...... Prince MacDonald, are you there too? ”

Prince MacDonald's look when he saw Agatha was completely different from the look he looked at Luke.

"Agatha, why is it so rude! If you don't call me uncle, how can you call my eldest brother by his name?

Call the Marquis of Meteorite, the Governor of Meteorite, even if you call Uncle Meteorite. ”

Agatha stared blankly at Luke and Prince Macdonald, a little confused about their current relationship.

Luke reluctantly said to Prince Macdonald: "I have something to discuss with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the director of the music council, you go to the car outside the palace and wait for me first." ”

"Yes, big brother." MacDonald walked off on his toes.

Luke could only explain with an embarrassed smile: "Prince Macdonald came from the Kingdom of Lusian to ask Her Royal Highness the Queen to ask for an official, and I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I left him by my side as an entourage."

This kid doesn't know the situation in the palace, and I'll teach him a good lesson when I go back. ”

Agatha knows the character of Prince Macdonald, and he has been very flamboyant in the past few days in the imperial capital, for fear that others will not know that he is the younger brother of the Empress of the Prison Kingdom.

Even if she is the eldest princess, she is not taken seriously by him.

But......

"Let Prince MacDonald be your retinue, probably only you think, and only you dare to do it."

"He will follow me to make money in the future, and he will definitely respect me a little."

Speaking of making money, Agatha thought about the purpose of her visit to Meteorite: "Director of the World Bank's Angry Waves, you know each other in Angry Waves. I've already brought the people, and I'll leave the rest to you.

There's still something to do in Rose Manor, so I'll take my leave! ”

Agatha left Yin behind, and when she walked around the corner, she glanced at the two of them quietly before walking away.

"Elder Pastor wants to meet Her Majesty Queen Sunny Sky."

"I'll arrange it."

After two sentences, there was silence.

Yin looked at Luke with a long-awaited eagerness in his eyes.

After a while, Yin said to Luke, "I didn't expect that the last goodbye would be so long, from before the beginning of winter to the end of winter, from Angry Waves City to Holy Lun City.

You are a high-ranking official of the Golden Shield Empire, and I am a member of the Glittering Golden Mission. ”

Luke could feel that Yin was trying to control his emotions, and there was a sense of sadness in his words.

"I was away for about three months because of my work, and I had to stay here because something had happened to the Imperial Court. Seems to have happened to you? We can talk as we go, and as friends, you can confide in me if anything doesn't go your way. ”

Luke walked into a garden with Yin.

This time, in order to welcome the Glittering Gold and the Angel Mission, the palace used magic to spawn some flowers, filling the garden with the fragrance of flowers and beautiful scenery.

The two of them were walking in the garden, and Otoya talked about his thoughts.

"The Sparkling Gold people have special emotional training in order to reduce mood swings in order to achieve the best Gemini resonance. But...... When I arrived in Raging Waves, I realized that some emotions were uncontrollable.

When the heart moves, you just can't be quiet.

At first I didn't know what it was like, but it was growing little by little, little by little. It scares me and makes me feel like I'm addicted to it.

I...... I may have touched the greatest taboo of the Glittering Ones. ”
