Elder Mu left the Marquis Mansion of Angry Waves City empty-handed.

The crisis is over!

After the subordinates reported that all the people were gone, Agatha couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that Yin will not be in danger for the time being, or the people will release her soon." ”

Luke smiled wryly and said, "You don't have to comfort me, I know what this taboo means to the people of Shimmer. Lust is related to the continuation of the race for the people of Shimmer, and lust comes from human nature, and to suppress it requires not only strict training, but also strict laws.

It's like a dam that stops floodwater, and no one knows what will happen if you dig a hole in it. Elder Mu could not afford this responsibility, and even the entire Shuojin Elders' House did not dare to take responsibility. ”

Agatha knew what Luke meant, once the shimmering gold man made this special case on the sound, the binding nature of this taboo would no longer exist, and there would definitely be a second and a third in the future......

"At least drag it out until we come up with a way to save Sound."

Luke nodded: "Let's drag it first, there will be a way." ”

Luke then spoke to Agatha about his meeting with King Tyrann, the golden dragon.

Now that the Dragon Country's fire crystal mining rights have been obtained, it is time to carry out the strategic layout of energy. Luke is again in a non-stop busyness, constantly going back and forth between the Imperial Capital and the Angry Waves, single-handedly forming the Energy Strategy Office and the Imperial Energy Bank.

In order to transport the fire crystal to supply the international energy market in the future, the shipyard in Haijiao District of Angry Waves City began to develop and build a 100,000-ton cargo ship after receiving investment from the Imperial Energy Bank.

At the same time, the Energy Strategy Office, in collaboration with the Imperial Energy Bank, acquired the fire crystal mine all over the world and purchased the land where the fire crystal mine may exist.

The pyrotechnic mines in the empire were gradually regained from state ownership.

Increase the Empire's Fire Crystal reserves, and prepare to start the first shot of the Fire Crystal price war.

……

While the Golden Shield Empire was fighting and developing at war, a major event quietly occurred in the neighboring country across the sea. An army led by an officer stormed the parliament building, announcing the dissolution of parliament, the expulsion of the puppet government, and the return of Prince Leo to the palace.

The Republic of Rio dissolved after only twenty-one years of existence, while the Kingdom of Rio was slow to be established.

Because Prince Leo, who has been hiding behind the scenes, did not show up. Even though the Windtalkers recaptured the palace, the nobles of the Old Kingdom swept the land, and the entire country was called for the prince to ascend the throne, the prince still did not appear in public.

Pan is scared!

According to his plan, Yin was arrested and sentenced for committing a taboo, and he could be removed from the list of the shimmering gold civilization. At this time, even if the meteorite is protected by the Golden Shield Empire, the Shining Gold will definitely not let go of the meteorite for his inheritance.

Regardless of whether or not the Meteorite will eventually be killed by the Glittering Gold, it will be impossible for him to have the energy to take care of Leo's affairs for a long time.

He can take the opportunity to ascend the throne and restore the kingdom of Leo.

Then, with the resources, wealth, and information he once accumulated in the World Bank, he quickly increased the national power of the Kingdom of Leo. Finally, to unite with the Ateshire Union to the north and support the Tedgar Hills to the south, it will not take a few years for Leo's King's army to counterattack the Golden Shield Empire itself.

Put the City of the Mighty Waves in your pocket.

At that time, the crown was too light for himself.

I'm going to build the Leo Empire, I'm going to be the first emperor of the Leo Empire!

But Pan couldn't figure out why the Shuojin Elder's House put the question of sound and didn't care about the meteorite.

It's so counterintuitive!

Now Pan is no longer a Glittering Man and has no access to confidential information from the World Bank. I only knew that the meteorite would shimmer the golden people's divine skills, and after Elder Mu had seen the meteorite once, the Shimmering Gold Elder's House never mentioned the matter of punishing the meteorite again.

Yin was also released from his cell and placed under house arrest at the World Bank headquarters...... Golden Canyon.

Now Pan is really scared, afraid of Leo's Angry Waves across the sea; Fear of the meteorite who can make the glittering people compromise, fear of the clear sky that can defeat the precarnation of the Holy Book Theresia.

Fearing that once he ascended the throne and became King Leo, he would be beheaded.

Afraid that if you give everything, you will eventually lose everything......

Pan hides in a single-family house in Leo's capital, surrounded by windtalkers. Every day, many people ask to see Prince Leo, and many more ask Prince Leo to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Some of the people in Leo's puppet government fled into exile, and if they did not establish a national system and divide the nobles as soon as possible, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be unstable.

Pan turned a deaf ear to all these requests, only caring about where the meteorite was and what it was doing.

Knowing that Meteorite didn't care about Leo's changes, Pan was even more worried and scared.

He's definitely laying it out, he's definitely going to deal with me.

Pan has lost his former self-confidence and demeanor, his hair is not combed, his clothes are not changed, his beard is stubble, and his mind is full of information about the meteorite he has received, analyzing where he intends to start dealing with himself and Leo.

Office of Energy Strategy, Imperial Energy Bank......

Does he want to start with Leo's energy and control Leo's energy extraction and trade? If he can stop there, it's not impossible to exchange Leo's energy for a moment of peace, but can he be satisfied?

"Your Highness, Your Highness......" a Wind Whisperer attendant called out softly.

Pan looked up from the pile of scattered papers, his eyes glazed and his spirits sluggish. Pan angrily reprimanded by the disturbed train of thought: "I said it...... Don't bother me with anyone or anything! ”

"Yes, yes, Your Highness! I'm sorry......" The Windwhisperer attendant said in fear, "But the person who asked to see us this time is very special, and we don't dare to make our own decisions." ”

"Who?"

"He claims to be the First Apostle of the Abyss Temple...... Victor. ”

Temple of the Abyss?

First Apostle Victor!

What did he come to Leo for?

However, the Abyss Temple has a great enmity with the clear sky, and having a grudge with the clear sky is a grudge with the falling star.

"Let him in...... Wait a minute......" Pan took out a mirror from the drawer, and after seeing his condition, he said to the attendant, "You take him to the reception room, and I will see him later." ”

"Your Highness." The attendants were ordered to leave.

Pan returned to his room, washed up under the service of the maids, and changed into a Leo royal dress before arriving at the reception room with a group of servants.

Victor was wearing a very retro magic robe with a hood on his head, and he looked very down.

He was joined by several Abyssal Mages in the same costume.

Seeing Pan, Victor took off his hat and saluted while wearing the abyss mages: "Meet His Royal Highness Prince Pan, congratulations to His Highness on regaining the country of his ancestors." ”

Knowing that the Abyss Temple is a group of madmen, Iwa is wary of Victor. He waved his hand, and a couch moved away from Victor, and sat inside.

"I heard that something has happened in the Holy Mountain of the Tedgar Hills, and you seem to have been expelled from the Abyss Temple, Apostle Victor. It's just that I didn't expect you to come to me...... If you are short of money, I can give you a sum of money, but please leave the territory of the Kingdom of Leo immediately.

All those associated with the Temple of the Abyss are not welcomed by Leo. ”

The Apostle Victor was still standing, and Pan did not allow him to sit down.

Being despised and not showing displeasure, the Apostle Victor said, "I know you don't like me, but I also know that we have a common enemy. ”

Pan knew who Victor was talking about, but he still pretended to be stupid and said, "Are you talking about the puppet regime in exile?" The Windtalker will take them out of the way, and there is no need to bother with the Abyss Temple. ”

"I'm talking about meteorites."

Pan squinted and said, "Meteorite is not my enemy, on the contrary, we are friends and allies. I can't reclaim the kingdom without the funding of the Falling Star. ”

Victor said, "Friend and ally, that's before you betrayed Yin. ”

Pan glared and scolded angrily: "I didn't betray the sound! It was she who committed the biggest taboo of the Glittering Gold Man, and she became obsessed with the meteorite, which eventually harmed her...... It hurt me too! ”

Victor asked, "But why are you hiding here?" If you ascend the throne as King of Leo, the Meteor should congratulate you. ”

Pan calmed down: "I have my reasons, I don't need to explain them to you. Let's talk about it...... What do you want to do when you come to me? ”

Victor said, "I want to destroy the World Tree. ”

Pan chuckled and said, "It's not an easy thing to do. The nobles of the Westlands betrayed the Brotherhood of Blades, and an apostle died in the city of Sunlight. The current Abyss Temple is not as good as it used to be, not to mention that you have been banished from the Abyss Temple.

If you want to destroy the World Tree, you must enter the Ancestral Grassland and get close to the Moon Lake. There are not only World Tree Remnants, Moon Knights, but also Glittering Gold and Angels. The Glittering Gold and the Angels sign a treaty with the Moonlight Court to protect the World Tree. By you? You don't even have a chance to get close to the World Tree. ”

In the face of Pan's taunt, Victor smiled and said, "Ever since the World Tree was revived, the Abyss Temple has been looking for a way to destroy it, and we have really found it.

The destruction of the World Tree in the previous generation and the pain of a thousand years have resulted in the mysterious energy formed into something called Calamity. ”

Pan's interest was aroused: "What is the calamity?" ”

"We can't tell what the Catastrophe is for the time being, we only know that it came into being with the revival of the World Tree, and its only mission is to destroy the World Tree. It can change into any form, and by controlling the mind, it can provoke a person's ruthlessness towards the World Tree, so that it is bent on destroying it. ”

This was the first time Pan had heard of "calamity," and he said to Victor, "Please be seated, please tell me more about calamity." ”

Victor bowed and sat down, then told Pan about the destruction of the Abyss Temple.

“…… I had suggested that the Duke of Celts use the Scourge to destroy the World Tree, which would have dealt a heavy blow to the skies, but the war left the barbarians with no room to make a move in the West.

And Celtic also believes that destroying the World Tree has no direct benefit to the Tedgar Hills.

I don't know what His Highness Pan's point of view is? ”

Pan pondered......

The contradiction between himself and the meteorite should be irreconcilable.

Destroying the World Tree will definitely be able to hit the clear sky, and part of her strength is because she inherited the authority of the previous World Tree.

Without the World Tree, the Moonlight Court would have no basis for existence. The knife hanging over the heads of the nobles of the western realm of the empire is gone, and Prince Alec, who is trapped in the Crescent Oasis, will definitely make a move. If the western realm is turbulent again, the northern legions will also move, can the Golden Shield Empire fight three wars at the same time?

Or four!

No matter how strong the meteorite is, it is impossible to turn the tables.

But Pan didn't rush to show his attitude: "The World Tree is in the hinterland of the continent, Leo is in the east of the continent, and there is the sea and the Golden Shield Empire in between, I'm afraid I won't be able to help." And I don't want to offend the shimmering gold and the angels......"

Victor said, "As long as His Highness is willing to help, he will definitely be able to help me." I need money, space, and materials...... If it goes well, I can summon an army of the Abyss in the Ancestral Grassland.

The destruction of the World Tree was done by me, and has nothing to do with you, Your Highness. ”

"Why do you make me believe that you can do it?"

"I think the cataclysm is an abyssal energy," Victor said. ”

Pan stared at Victor and asked, "What is the abyss?" ”

"According to our research. The abyss is the energy of the beginning of the world, which, together with other initial energies, created our world and maintains the balance of this world. According to the power level, the initial energy is higher than that of artifacts, they are divine powers.

Whoever can be accepted by the initial energy and obtain a part of the divine power is the god who walks in the world! ”

Pan asked again, "Why do you think that the calamity is an abyssal energy?" ”

"Because I am an apostle of the abyss, I know the abyss best. The energy of the calamity is very large, and as long as it is used well, it will definitely destroy the World Tree.

I can avenge the departed apostles and prove that I am not a traitor. You can also get out of the current predicament and take advantage of the civil strife in the Golden Shield Empire, and the meteorite has no time to take care of you, so that the Leo Kingdom can be revived. ”

Pan considered Victor's apostle's proposal.

Secretly fund them, and have nothing to lose to yourself. If they succeed, Leotrich; If you fail, your situation will not be worse.

"Well, I can give you a limited amount of funding and have the Windtalkers lurking in the West take you into the Empire's West. As soon as you show me the results, I will give me additional funding. ”

The Apostle Victor stood up and saluted Pan: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your assistance, I will definitely keep this kindness in my heart." When I regain what I have lost like Your Highness, I promise that the Abyss Temple will unreservedly support the Kingdom of Leo. ”

Pan was very used by Victor's round of sycophants: "I hope what you say can be done." Tell me what you need, and I'll arrange for someone to prepare. ”

The Apostle Victor told Panhou what he needed and left with a good harvest.

As soon as the abyssal mages had left, Pan ordered all the things they had touched to be removed and burned.

"Let the mage do a few exorcisms, and you can't let go of any corner." Pan was very jealous of the secret techniques mastered by the abyss mages, especially since it was the first apostle who came this time. "Someone!"

An attendant stepped forward: "Your Highness, what are your orders?" ”

"When Victor and the others arrive in the West, let the Windtalkers over there stare at them, and report to me any information related to the catastrophe."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The attendants were ordered to leave.

Pan fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but say to himself: "The energy of the beginning of the world, the catastrophe, the divine power...... Victor, what is the purpose of your trip to the West? ”
