Chapter 166: The Assassins

So many resources unique to Sky City are counted as the first batch of compensation, and one-tenth of the total production will be given every subsequent year.

Is this compensation?

This is tribute!

Archangel Gold said with a little anger: "Marquis of Meteor, we have come to talk about compensation with enough sincerity this time, if you talk like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue talking." ”

Luke smiled and said: "Negotiation is that you make your price, I make my price, and if you can't negotiate, you will take a step back from each other." In short, the compensation given by Sky City is far from what we expected.

The Moonlight Court reunited the remnants of the World Tree, who had been isolated from the mainstream world for thousands of years because of the destruction of the World Tree, and as the embodiment of justice, Sky City should feel guilty. ”

Archangel Gold calmed down a little and said, "Sky City will add fifty percent to the resources given to us, and we can give ten tons of gold. ”

Of course, Luke was not satisfied, he felt that he still needed to squeeze another squeeze on Sky City.

Clear Sky said at this time: "That's all for today's meeting, I have a secret art class to take." Please report our appeal to the Sky City Archangel Conference, and if you are really sincere, let me feel it.

I hope that the next time we meet, I can feel the true repentance of the angels, not the name of compensation, but the actual humiliation.

Jenverny, send them out! ”

"Yes, Miss Weatherlight." Janfany turned to Archangel Gold and Luke and said, "Archangel and Marquis, please come back!" ”

Luke stood up and walked out.

Archangel Gold didn't expect the first meeting to end so hastily, and seeing that Luke had already walked out, he had to salute the clear sky with the crown of thorns before leaving.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Luke complained: "I have already hinted very obviously, the compensation given by Sky City is far from our psychological expectations, and as a result, you have only increased by fifty percent. ”

"And ten tons of gold!" Archangel Gold reminded.

"Ten tons of gold!" Luke smiled mockingly and took out a handful of Imperial Marks from his pocket: "The empire has banned the circulation of precious metal currency, and most countries in the world are popularizing paper money. The value of ten tons of gold, the Imperial Mint can print it in one night. ”

Archangel Gold looked at the banknote in Luke's hand and asked suspiciously: "Since this kind of banknote can be printed casually, how can it have such a high value." ”

"It's all about ......" Luke wanted to talk about the role of paper money in the country's rule and economy, but he quickly reacted: "You won't understand it right away." Now we're talking about compensation...... I have done my best for this meeting, and you will go back and discuss with the other archangels what you will discuss for the next meeting. Be prepared a little more, don't talk about it so that the Queen of the Clear Sky doesn't have the desire to talk about it. ”

Archangel Gold asked, "When is the next meeting?" ”

"Wait for my notice......" Luke looked out the window of the carriage, "Tonight, Her Majesty the Queen of the Clear Sky wants to see the Shepherd of the Shimmering Golden People." I'm going back to Angry Waves tomorrow, and it's expected to take five to ten days to get back.

Then make an appointment. ”

"Her Majesty the Queen of the Clear Skies wants to see the Elder of the Shimmering Gold Men tonight?"

"Yes! Eager to compensate for the destruction of the World Tree, the Glittering Gold set up a World Bank branch in the Moonlight Court and brought a very considerable investment, which was enough to bring the Ancestral Grasslands from the wilderness to modern civilization.

The sincerity of the Glittering Gold people is more sincere than that of Sky City. ”

Luke pua the Archangel Gold.

The Golden Archangel was really very nervous inside.

He knew that the purpose of the Shimmer Jinren opening the World Bank branch in the Moonlight King's Court must also be to get close to the World Tree and find a way to transform the World Tree into an artifact.

Research one step earlier, and one more hope of exclusive artifact.

Today, I have wasted an opportunity, and as a result, I have delayed the next meeting with the Queen of the Sunny Sky for many days.

If the Sanctuary is not sure to be built in the Moonlight Court, Sky City will become extremely passive in obtaining artifacts.

"Can't you arrange my second meeting with Her Majesty the Sunny Sky Queen as soon as possible?"

Luke said helplessly: "I want to too, but the empire is at war. The Rags fleet will travel north along the coast to compete with the Atlantic Coalition Navy for sea supremacy, and the armies formed by Angry Waves will also travel overland to the north to fight.

As the Governor of Angry Waves, I must meet my soldiers, not next time. ”

The war stimulated Archangel Gold to recall some unpleasant memories.

"Yes, not necessarily next time. I wish the Marquis a smooth trip to the city of the waves, and I hope you return to the city of Shenglun as soon as possible. ”

At this time, the thorny crown who had not spoken all this time said: "Marquis, Lord Marquis...... Could you please intercede with Her Majesty the Queen of the Sunny Sky and give me back my angel wings?

I have recognized my mistake and am deeply sorry for offending Her Majesty the Queen. ”

Thorns Huaguan's words are a little sincere.

Clear Sky knocked out his arrogance with a blow, and the destruction of the sacred relics of faith calmed his fanatical heart. This time, he completely put down his posture to apologize to the clear sky, but it allowed him to unload the burden he had been carrying before.

One enlightenment made him figure out a lot of things.

Archangel Gold also interceded for the crown of thorns: "Can you persuade Her Majesty the Queen of the Clear Sky to change to other punishments?" Angel wings are so important for an angel! ”

"Yes." Luke agreed, "But as far as I know, the Queen has several important experiments planned for Angel Wings. After the experiment was done, it didn't be much use for her angel wings to keep them. ”

Thorn Huaguan eagerly asked, "Will the experiment hurt my angel wings?" ”

"This ...... I don't know. Maybe you will take some damage, maybe you will get stronger. If you are willing to volunteer for human experiments, the chances of success will increase. ”

The Golden Archangel asked, "What is the experiment?" ”

"Confidential!" Luke asked the crown of thorns, "What is your choice?" Help the Queen of the Sky complete the experiment, and the Queen may be able to reattach the stronger angel wings to you when she is happy.

Of course, experiments are dangerous, and your safety cannot be guaranteed. ”

Clear Sky's strongest form can give birth to Angel Light Wings, and Angel Light Wings advance to the Blazing Sky Wings. It's just that Luke has not advanced to the angelic light wings of the clear sky, and he has traveled to this world.

According to Luke's collection of the Blazing Wings manufacturing process, the crafting of the Blazing Wings must be completed first. It is to intensify the divine energy of the angel wings to make the angel feathers completely burn, forming an immortal holy flame.

Then through the ritual to dye the angel light wings, and finally perform a large range of holy flame release on the sky, as long as the sky is successfully dyed, the blazing sky wings are considered complete.

There is no end to the enhancement of the characters in the Anno game, and Luke was originally planning to make Blazing Sky Wings for Clear Sky to welcome the new version update. Now Luke is going to make Blazing Sky Wings for Clear Sky to welcome the early arrival of the five ancient civilizations.

There is a chance that the crafting of the Blazing Wings will fail, and if the owner of the Angel Wings is willing to participate in the crafting, the success rate can be increased. If the Thorn Crest is willing to take risks to participate in the experiment, Blazing Wings can reward him as a reward.

Thorn Crown didn't think too much: "I'm willing to participate in the experiment, for the sake of Angel Wing, I can do anything." ”

Luke reminded: "As a volunteer for human experimentation, neither I nor Her Majesty the Queen of the Sky forced you, you volunteered." ”

"I volunteered."

Luke said to the Archangel Gold, "You hear me...... The crown of thorns will be handed over to the Queen of the Clear Sky for a while. ”

Archangel Gold didn't know what kind of experiment Clear Sky was doing, and he actually wanted to use angel wings, which was not a good thing for Sky City. If the Thorn Crown participates in the experiment, it may be able to hear some news.

"Alright, I'll allow the Thorn Crown to participate in Her Majesty's experiments."

Luke stopped the carriage and said to the Crown of Thorns, "Go to the Museum of Clear Sky yourself." Show your intentions, put away the arrogance of the angels, and do whatever the queen tells you to do. ”

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

The Thorn Canopy pushed open the door and jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the Sky Museum.

The carriage restarts.

Archangel Gold warned, "I hope you don't do anything that endangers Sky City. ”

"Of course not! And...... If the experiment is successful, it will be a good thing for Sky City. In the future, any angel who wants to increase his strength, or wants to change the style of angel wings, can come to the Queen of the Clear Sky. ”

"That doesn't seem like a good thing."

"Trust me, it's a good thing."

Luke returns the Archangel of Gold to the palace and returns to his mansion to prepare the dinner.

Unlike Angels' secret visit to Clear Sky, this meeting between the Shimmering Gold Man and the Clear Sky Queen is public.

Not only will the entire Glittering Gold Mission attend the dinner, but many officials will also come to the Imperial Court.

This was the first time Meteor had held a banquet since moving into this house, and the magnates of the entire imperial capital were trying to get an invitation by all means to get to know the new powerful minister of the empire.

In the evening, there was a lot of traffic outside the Marquis of Nutao's palace, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to the banquet.

The entire Marquis's Mansion was brightly lit up inside and outside, and the number of Imperial agents had increased several times to protect the security here.

Everyone who entered the Marquis's Palace was carefully checked for identity, and many people with forged documents who tried to sneak in were found out.

On the side of the road a block away from the Marquis of Nutao's mansion, several heavily armed men hid in a parked freight truck.

In the dim light, led by the nightingale.

After a rhythmic tapping, a thin man in a felt hat pulled open the door and jumped in quickly.

"Miss Nightingale, the Marquis Mansion of the Falling Star is full of Imperial agents, and they are very careful in checking documents, and it is difficult for us to get in.

Not to mention assassinating meteorites under heavy protection. ”

The nightingale sat in the innermost part of the carriage, a dagger in his hand sharpened with a whetstone.

"Usually the secret intelligence bureau is more closely protective of meteorites, and it is difficult to have a better chance in the future than tonight. Kill the Meteor so that Prince Alec has a chance to come back. ”

"But we didn't receive a direct order from Prince Alec."

The nightingale shook his hand, and the dagger stopped in front of the man's eyes after a flash of lightning: "Do you suspect that I am falsely passing on the orders of Prince Alec?" Can such an order be given by the prince himself?

Success or failure, this assassination has nothing to do with Prince Alec, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Faced with a dagger that almost touched his eyeball, the man replied in fear.

"Do you all understand?"

"Understood!" All answered.

The nightingale reached out and pulled the dagger back into her hand with the chain.

She relaxed her tone and explained to the Assassins of her organization, "Someone in the court has sent news for Prince Alec that His Majesty may have passed away. The queen's imprisonment of the country is very likely to be a joint act of stealing the country by the queen, the meteorite, and Agatha.

Sitting on the throne should be our allegiance to His Highness, but His Highness is trapped in the Crescent Oasis.

As long as we kill the Meteor, the official system in Fury Waves will collapse, and the queen will have nothing to rely on. The ministers of the court will welcome His Highness back to the imperial capital, and our Highness will be the Emperor of the Empire.

And we will all be crowned nobles, and even if we die, the nobles will be inherited by our families. ”

The Assassins said together: "May I die for His Royal Highness Prince Alec!" ”

"Good!" Nightingale rejoiced at the high morale: "The Marquis' Palace is well defended, but it will not bother us. There were a lot of people going to the banquet tonight, and we were able to grab the official invitation. The difficult part is how to approach the meteorite and deliver a fatal blow.

I have a plan ......"

Nightingale pulled out a topographical map of the Marquis of Fury's Mansion, and the Assassins gathered in a circle, waiting for Nightingale to assign a task.

But Nightingale noticed something unusual, and she quickly swept everyone's faces, frowned, and said, "Why is there one more person?" ”

Is there more than one person?

The Assassins looked at each other, realizing that something was wrong.

How eight people became nine.

But when they carefully discerned, they found ...... I don't know who the extra one is. All the faces are familiar, all of them are assassins hand-picked by Nightingale.

No repetitions!

How is this possible.

If someone were to pretend to be one of them, they should have two identical faces.

But why is there an extra person, and that person is right in front of him, but I don't know who it is.

Psychic Impact!

The nightingale put a dagger on the neck of the man to his right and said, "An outsider has come in, and he has exerted a spiritual influence on us, so that we cannot see him clearly. Everyone, control the man you have at hand, and together we will find him. ”

Upon hearing this, the Assassins immediately drew their weapons and held them against the throats of their right-hand companions.

The nightingale recites a spiritually strengthening mantra in an attempt to free herself from the spiritual influence. She closed her eyes and opened them again...... There are still nine people, and no matter how you identify them, you can't tell the extra one.

Who's the extra one!

"I ask questions, you answer, I know who's right and who's wrong. Start with Sico......"

The nightingale asks everyone a question, and they all get the correct answer.

How is this possible!

Then someone said, "Miss Nightingale, why did you only ask seven questions?" ”

"Did I only ask seven questions?" Nightingale's expression became even more nervous: "I obviously asked all of you one by one, and I didn't miss a single one in a circle. ”

"Miss Nightingale, I'm looking, and you really only asked seven questions."

"Yes, Miss Nightingale, I also checked, but only seven questions were asked."

Nightingale asked, "Who of the people you control, who has not answered?" ”

Silent......
