The degree of intelligence in the human living area of Emperor Star is very low, and each level is controlled by humans.

With this badge to open the way, Yang Luo walked unhindered all the way, successfully sat on the downward elevator that entered the palace module, crossed Erlang's legs on the sofa, and quietly thought about the scene he was going to face next.

He didn't tell Catherine that he was going to the old emperor's party.

What could he do?

It's just going with the flow, mixing up some welfare.

When Yang Luo was distracted, he recalled the encrypted communication with Bligh, and Bligh said a few words at that time, which made Yang Luo particularly impressed.

'Master, do you really want to go to the Imperial Star?' Although the Emperor did not express his vigilance against you, according to my understanding, there are many hidden and high-tech protective devices around the Emperor, and if we rashly use a spiritual brand against him, there is a high probability that we will fail and be directly arrested. ’

Yang Luo wanted to ask Bligh at that time.

What is the composition of this guy's brain circuit?

He is a small vanguard, a reformed warrior, trying to control the old emperor of the empire?

That's not impossible.

Yang Luo raised his hand and swept the dress on his body, throwing away this terrible thought, and repeatedly reminded himself in his heart that the greatest danger of the Emperor Star was not the Emperor, but the mechanical thinking body under the control of the Sherman family.

As for the seemingly unguarded old emperor, how many protective measures there are around, Yang Luo is not interested in trying.

Bite!

The beautiful girl standing at the elevator door said softly, "Sir, we have arrived at Gate 0024 of the Palace Module. ”

Yang Luo got up and walked out of the elevator.

When he walked a little farther, the elevator attendant couldn't help but look at Yang Luo's back a few more times, and then took the side face of Yang Luo that he had just secretly photographed, and used the private network on the emperor star to share it with his little sisters.

"It's going to be very difficult to implement."

Several officials who were discussing a government matter approached the elevator.

The waiter quickly tucked the communicator into his sleeve, returned to a professional smile, and stood dignified at the elevator door, bowing his head to several officials.

Yang Luo came to the palace for the second time and almost got lost.

In the square at 'daytime', more than a dozen buildings were now rising, and a man and woman could be seen inside, and it seemed that more than a dozen singing and dancing performances were being held at the same time.

And the emperor's main hall, which deals with government affairs, has turned off all the lights at this moment.

Where is the Emperor?

"Viscount Hanton," a call came from the left, and two middle-aged men in guard clothes stepped out of the corner shadows, "please come with us, Your Majesty is already waiting for you." ”

"Thank you."

Yang Luo's eyes swept over the recent buildings, saw some quite exciting pictures, and said with a smile: "The palace is so lively at night. ”

One of the guides laughed, "Are you wondering why there are more than a dozen dry parties?" ”

Yang nodded: "It's true that there are some doubts." ”

The guide smiled, "These are just some members of the royal family, who are here to represent Your Majesty and entertain nobles from all corners of the empire's borders. Because there are many nobles who have come to Emperor Star to meet His Majesty recently, more than ten banquet halls will be opened here at the same time. ”

Yang Luo asked, "Are all the hereditary nobles here?" ”

"Hereditary viscounts, honorary counts, come here in batches," said another guide, in a low voice, "the great majesty can receive these nobles, and it is a glory for them to show off for a lifetime, which is a rare occasion in the history of the empire for the last thousand years. ”

"After all, this time against the Space Zerg and the New Federation, we have won a huge victory, and this victory is also unprecedented."

These two guides show Yang Luo the 'licking dog' culture in the palace.

There is still a long way to go, so Yang Luo took the opportunity to talk to these two middle-aged men.

These two people are probably the middle-level cadres of the palace security department, and they belong to the emperor's close ministers, one is from the military industry and technology, and the other is from the military selection.

Yang Luo has a brother on the left and a big brother on the right, which makes these two middle-aged men a little fluttery.

And what about the heroes of the empire? It's not like you're going to be a snake like them who mess with the palace.

can be regarded as deliberately pointing out Yang Luo, these two eldest brothers said a few taboos in the palace.

First, it is a felony to be found to be found guilty of taking any video or photographs in the palace, or to use any listening or eavesdropping devices. ，

There is no regular monitoring here, but in the event of an accident, the palace module can retrieve any area's memories.

Their original words were memories, and Yang Luo didn't quite understand them.

Second, the interest of His Majesty the Emperor is extremely important, because every whim, it is possible to give birth to a new prince and princess for the empire.

Therefore, when His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became interested in a woman, all affairs were to be suspended and His Majesty was allowed to perform a rare human gift.

The implication is, in fact, that His Majesty has not been interested for a long time.

Third, the banquets of those princes, princesses, and princes who live on the surface of the Emperor Star are not necessary to go, and if you go in, it is equivalent to falling into a mud pit, where there is a depraved paradise of joy, and His Majesty the Emperor does not like those guys very much.

The princes and favored princesses who really have the possibility of inheriting the throne live near the palace module.

And these princes and princesses all have the possibility of inheriting the throne.

Yang Luo said gratefully: "Thank you two big brothers for reminding me." ”

"Viscount Hanton, you are a popular person in the aristocratic circle today, and you are also the young man most valued by Your Majesty, and you will inevitably receive invitations to various banquets."

"Some can go, some can't, you have to think about it."

Yang Luo looked up at the large hall in front of him, which was a bit like the temple of ancient Greece on earth, with orange-yellow light flashing inside. ，

Yang Luo asked: "I saw a princess Lorna on the news, does she live near the palace, or on the surface?" ”

"Princess Rhona? She doesn't really go back to the Imperial Star, and her residence is on the surface floor," the guide on the left laughed, "Princess Lorna is past her ridiculous age, she is an excellent diplomat, and she often represents the Empire on its missions. ”

The guide on the right lowered his voice: "I heard that Princess Rona has a hot fight with the princes of several vassal countries, and there may be some innovations in the gameplay." ”

The two middle-aged men glanced at each other and smiled meaningfully.

The corners of Yang Luo's mouth twitched slightly.

A few seconds of silence for Edward.

Edwin's body was acquired by Princess Rona a few years ago, and I used to think that Edwin had earned it, after all, Princess Lorna has a sweet voice and a good temperament.

Now it seems that Edwang even has green eyebrows!

"Viscount Hanton, it's here."

"We can only get here, you can enter it yourself."

"Please."

"I have benefited a lot from the two eldest brothers who sent me this way."

Yang Luo smiled, carefully sensed the surrounding biological energy, and did not find any ambush, so he walked to the hall a hundred meters away with confidence.

This chat really wasn't for nothing.

There are no listening and eavesdropping devices in the palace, which is an important information point.

From the tones of the two palace guard captains, Yang Luo heard their disdain for most princes and princesses, which was also related to the strong constraints of the imperial aristocratic code on the princes and princesses.

Among these princes and princesses, except for the lucky one who inherited the throne, the others could only be idlers, and the greatest value was marriage with foreign nations, or filling the foreign mission.

Tsk, a cage of canaries.

Yang Luo climbed the stairs and arrived in front of the main hall under the watchful eyes of hundreds of guards in the open and in the dark.

He paused and searched left and right, but he didn't see the 'father-in-law' who was in charge of the announcement, nor did he see any levitation balls or video doorbells.

Just go straight in?

Those guards just looked at Yang Luo, with no intention of moving forward.

Yang Luo's heart was crossed, he lowered his head to clear his throat, raised his hand to arrange his collar a few times, and then held his head high and walked forward with firm steps.

He passed through a curtain of ice-blue light, and the scenery in front of him changed suddenly.

Directly in front of them, the huge fountain played the sound of rushing water, and more than a dozen young girls with good bodies and faces frolicked by the pool, four of them very similar in appearance and slightly different in figure, and the clothes on their bodies were also slightly different.

Clones?

After the fountain, a small banquet is underway.

Unlike the fragrant and open aristocratic gatherings seen on Yangluo Road, the venue here is quite plain.

Seven or eight young men sat on either side of the long table, each flanked by two men of the opposite sex dressed in fine costumes; The emperor on the throne was dressed in a nightgown, sitting barefoot and without majesty, constantly sliding the projection screen in front of him.

Yang Luo looked at it and subconsciously thought that the old emperor was browsing the 'collectibles' of his online favorites.

But he quickly reacted that the old emperor was indeed browsing his 'collection'

"Great Your Majesty!"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded:

"White Ghost, Viscount Hanton has arrived!"

"Hmm."

The old emperor looked up at Yang Luo, beckoned through the fountain, and said with a smile: "Come here, my sharpest sword, I'm really glad that you will come here, I will give you the richest reward." ”

The seat on the Emperor's right hand was vacant, and that was the seat reserved for Yang Luo.

Yang Luo sighed secretly in his heart and stepped forward.

He had seen clearly the source of the familiar voice, Lieutenant Colonel Atro of the Military Intelligence Agency.

Why is this guy here? What qualifies him to be here?

Yang Luo didn't quite understand.

The others were all young people, and there was one of them, a young man who was breathing rapidly at the moment, and Yang Luo's eyes were on fire, and Yang Luo didn't really want to see it.

The youngest count of the Empire, the genius of the Lasoga family, the fanatical bastard of the White Ghost, Revere LaSoga!

The emperor's right hand, Yang Luo understands, is an organization or individual who does dirty work for the emperor, forming a deterrent effect on the emperor's bright forces, similar to 'Jinyiwei'.

Well, it's Jinyiwei, definitely not a thing factory!

The old emperor said that he wanted Yang Luo to choose, but Yang Luo actually didn't have a choice, if he wanted to choose the emperor's left hand, it would mean that he would be a viscount in the future, and he would need a single jumping gang to start a war with an empire.

And now, his situation is not very good.

There is a truth, Yang Luo understands.

Once he becomes a lackey of the emperor, it will be difficult to clear his name in the empire, and he will become a thorn in the side of the aristocracy, the Council of Elders, and even the military.

It's a big gamble.

He's using his force value to win the boss position of an empire.

As soon as Yang Luo approached, the Earl couldn't help but stand up and covered his chest with fright.

"Mr. Ghost!"

Revell's expression was full of surprise and emotion:

"I hope that we can go hand in hand in the future and burn everything together for the great empire and the great majesty!"

Yang Luo instantly understood the reason why Revere was here.

Simple, easy to deceive, and a hot-blooded young man.

The old emperor glanced at Revere, then at Yang Luo, with a little more deep meaning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Come and sit, Hanton, come to me." ”

"Thank you."

Yang Luo did not salute, but bowed to the emperor.

Two beauties who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward, one was dressed in a bandeau cloth and gauze skirt, and the other was dressed in a white long skirt, and they both showed a natural and decent smile to Yang Luo.

They pulled Yang Luo's chair, one helped Yang Luo to sit down, and the other waited in the back.

Yang Luo doesn't even need to move chopsticks to eat, they can do it all by themselves.

The emperor leaned towards Yang Luo and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you can come." ”

"It is my honor to serve Your Majesty."

"It would be nice if there were more people like you in the empire who have great power or power and know how to be flexible."

The emperor picked up the wine glass in front of him and touched it lightly with Yang.

"You're a smart man, Hanton, and I don't have to explain much about the significance of this feast."

"The Arm's Atro and Count Lasoga are both old acquaintances of yours, and the others you can get to know for yourself later are all guys I selected from different systems."

"It's like Atro, he has an uncle who has retired from the military but retains great influence, and Lasoga is a representative of a new generation of imperial nobles, and they are also the most promising young people in their respective systems."

Yang Luo wondered: "Your Majesty, what system am I?" ”

The Emperor laughed sneeringly, then looked up and laughed, tears almost bursting from his eyes.

"You are a sword, Hanton," said the Emperor with a smile, "and you will help me organize and train a group of guards who only obey my orders." ”

Yang Luo nodded slightly.

The emperor said suddenly, "You seem to want a clump of cells?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's important for my genetic stability."

"How about I set it as a quest reward?" The old emperor chuckled, "Actually, someone told me that if you get that mass of cells, you may become a new Valkyrie, a true ancient god lifeform...... I actually know a lot about this. ”

Yang Luo's expression froze.

That's where the problem becomes.

"Your Majesty, do you doubt my loyalty to you?"

"Fucking loyalty, I don't believe anyone is loyal to me, this individual human being, hehehaha," the old emperor's eyes flickered slightly, "They are only loyal to the position below me, and I was only chosen by this position, the empire has a stable system, the emperor can be used as a symbol, and the key to the ultimate weapon." ”

Yang Luo was a little more vigilant about this old emperor in his heart.

"Do you know Hanton," the old emperor whispered, staring at the fountain, "I originally wanted to just pass it like this, and forget it in this life, but when I look back on my life, I am suddenly a little unwilling, I still haven't understood the true meaning of an emperor." ”

"What does it really mean?"

"Just let go, just talk to me, you should be, I'm an old drunkard out of work, come and drink."

Bite.

The old emperor and Yang Luo clinked glasses, and Yang Luo took the water and poured it into his mouth.

The old emperor sighed: "Do you think that if I continue to toss like this, will there be an internal crisis in the empire?" ”

"Yes," Yang Luo said very bluntly, "Your Majesty, you want to use me to create fear for them, and in the face of fear, someone will inevitably stand up and resist." ”

"The reign of fear is a tyranny," said the old emperor, "I have been brainwashed in this way since I was a child, by the teachers sent by the House of Elders. ”

Yang Luo was silent.

The old emperor muttered:

"But I think it's necessary fear to revise their perception of the word emperor."

"The House of Elders is too bloated, the authority of the military department is too large, the development of the Divine Cult only knows how to swallow a huge amount of funds, but it has no practical significance, and the new calendar reform of the empire has shelved the imperial power to the shelf, but it has bred more privileged scum."

"I have about fifty-six years left to live, and I have enough children, so I'm going to give the country a good toss."

Yang Luo said with a smile: "Your Majesty's steps are still not too big, you are now in the emperor's industry, you are still in the prime of life, and you have plenty of time." ”

"Tsk," the old emperor smiled and nodded, "or dare to say it with your mouth, and in the future, you remember, don't use the word great to describe me on any occasion, you can use words like handsome and wise." ”

"Yes, wise Your Majesty."

"Here's this," the old emperor threw a disc into Yang Luo's hand, "This is the task of a few of you, to slaughter this prince as your brilliant debut ceremony, to cause a little riot appropriately, but don't let the Elders' House and the military department catch clear evidence." ”

Vote for a name?

To kill a prince?

Yang Luo put away the disc, and just wanted to say a few words of sycophancy, when he heard the emperor mutter:

"He's my own brother, tsk, who let him rape my history teacher back then, and give him some shocking death...... You'd do that, wouldn't you? ”

Yang Luo raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose.

Although he wanted to say 'one life, two years of maturity' to pretend to be a wave in front of the emperor, his shame made him choose to be silent, and he just nodded calmly.

"I was a pirate in my most difficult time," Yang Luo said in a low voice.
