As soon as Cornelies's front foot climbed into the courtyard wall, the soldiers who changed guards on their back feet noticed this side, and the branches of the big banyan tree shook slightly in the night, attracting the eyes of the soldiers who changed guards to look this way.

"Is the wind blowing?"

The soldier closest to the courtyard wall stretched out his hand to probe the wind, then looked up at the sky, and wondered, "No, why are the leaves shaking?"

The courtyard where the king lived had always been the most secure place in the palace, and the council required that the slightest disturbance be checked and verified, so the last group of soldiers broke away from the change of guard and walked towards the courtyard wall with submachine guns in hand.

Vincent curled up in the bushes with his mouth and nose covered, breaking out in a cold sweat in the cool autumn night, he heard the footsteps of the soldiers from far and near, and soon settled in front of him.

"It's strange, I saw the treetops moving just now."

"It's the wind blowing, isn't it? Or is it a feral cat? There have been a lot of wild cats in the palace lately, and they seem to have come in from the outer city, and they can't be caught."

As soon as the outer city was mentioned, the conversation couldn't stop, and someone immediately whispered, "Have you heard, the outer city has fallen last night, and those untouchables have poured into the inner city, but I am afraid that the inner city will not have a peaceful life in the future."

"Didn't you say that the Council had already sent troops to the outer city to help regain lost territory? I don't think I'll be back soon, right?"

"You really have a big heart, I heard my brother in the city defense team say that the outer city has been occupied by orcs, and that there is a monster as big as the whole city there, and that the firepower of our army was not sent to death in the past? The Council is not stupid, how can it be possible to help the untouched people in the outer cities regain their lost ground?"

"And that group of people just kept in the inner city? Don't you...... They stink, and I don't want to see them every day."

"Who's to say it's not? I've heard that there are already protests at the gate of the palace, and I don't know what the council is going to do."

"In my opinion, the untouchables in the outer city are only worth throwing out and feeding the orcs."

The soldiers laughed, and Vincent, who was hiding in the bushes, clenched his fists and trembled with anger, and he gritted his teeth to suppress his urge to rush out and beat them, so as not to expose Cornelies, he could only break his teeth and swallow in his stomach, and endure all the grievances.

The group of soldiers walked around the neighborhood with flashlights, and without finding Vincent, they returned en masse, and as soon as they walked on their front feet, Vincent put his hand out of the bushes and gave them a middle finger in the back.

"When we rescue Shu Yungui, he must bombard you all into the sky!"

He gritted his teeth and cursed silently, but he couldn't help but raise his head and pray, "My aunt, you can come out quickly!"

However, at this time, the situation was even more critical on Cornelies's side, which was separated by a wall.

She clearly remembered that there was no guard in her cousin's yard, not even a servant, only the chamberlain Pate took care of Finn Lauren's living room, so after entering the courtyard, she relaxed her vigilance, but she didn't expect that as soon as her hand pushed open the window and opened the curtain, the cold and dark muzzle of the gun pressed against the center of her eyebrows.

The burly guard held a gun in one hand and asked sharply, "Who dares to trespass on the king's bedchamber?!"

His finger was pressed against the trigger, and Cornelies' slightest movement would have killed him with a single shot.

"I...... I'm in the wrong place......

The guard pressed the corner of his eye, and the finger holding the trigger was obviously tightened again.

"I...... I'll go, I'll go......"

Cornelys raised her hands and turned around in a huff, but the muzzle of the gun followed her, and the guard shouted, "Stop!"

The legs that were about to flee immediately stopped, and Cornelies, like a frightened rabbit, stood on end, and stood sideways in front of the guard, not daring to make any movement.

"Turn around and look up!"

With her muddy body, Corneerys had deceived the guards with that glance, but in the palace, identifying the royal family was the most important basic skill, and the guards could tell the difference just by looking at her figure.

Corneerys was sweating from the back of her neck, and she knew that the guard in charge of guarding the king must be a coexistenceist.

If the Coexistence faction knew about his secret contact with his cousin, then their efforts for so long would have been in vain.

At the urging of the guards, Cornelius slowly turned around, her eyes fell on the air beam gun in her arms, and she wondered if she could put the opponent down with a shot, but the distance between the two sides was too close, and the muzzle of the other party's gun couldn't even insert a piece of paper between her head, and before she could pull out the gun, her head would be beaten into a hornet's nest.

Thinking of this, she became even more nervous, the beads of sweat on her head trickled down, and even her hands and feet became cold.

"Pull your hair away! Face me!"

Ordinary guards would never dare to talk to the royal nobles like this, and Corneerys could already be sure that this person must have been sent by the Coexistence Sect to guard the king, so he could be so unsightly.

She raised her hand slowly and tremblingly, whether it was strength or weapon, she was no match for the burly man, if she couldn't successfully get out of here today, then the end would only be to be sent to the Council for trial, the group of people in the Council said that they were acting for the king, but in fact they were already lackeys of the coexistence faction.

Although the royal family had absolute immunity in the inner city, those people would certainly not give up on Corneerys' trespass on the king's bedchambers, and it was likely that her mother and uncle would be involved.

Cornelys panicked, her heart almost jumping out of her throat, and seeing that she was moving too slowly, the guard held a gun in one hand and reached over with the other, and rudely ripped her hair.

When the stained hair was forcibly pulled away, Cornelies closed her eyes in resignation, but at this moment, a dull blow suddenly sounded, and the pressure on her forehead suddenly withdrew, Corneerys opened her eyes when she heard the sound, and saw the tall man in front of her rolling his eyes and fainting backwards.

Behind him, his cousin Finn Laurener was holding an enamel vase, holding the man with his outstretched hands, and gently lowering it to the ground.

The guards had been knocked unconscious by him, and Finn Laurener had his gun and panted against the windowsill to pull Cornelies in.

This moment of effort wasted him a great deal of strength, and he tore the sheets into strips of cloth, coughing softly, and squatting on the ground to tie the guard's limbs.

Cornelies, who had been sitting for a long time, was relieved of her panic, and Finn Laurener himself poured her a glass of water, sat down in front of her, pushed the glass over, and coughed as hard as she could, saying, "I thought it would take you two months to come back......

Before he finished speaking, he shook his head again and said, "Actually...... I thought you wouldn't come back......

Cornelies, after all, was a girl, and Finn Laurener had regretted it day and night since he entrusted her with the mission of going out of town, fearing that he had killed his cousin on the spur of the moment.

But there really was nothing else he could do, the coexistence faction was getting more and more closely watched, he hadn't seen outsiders for a long, long time, but the black sheep who were hiding behind the scenes would not stop him because he couldn't act, and he desperately needed to know what had become of the outer city and the wilderness during the years when his power was constantly weakened and even imprisoned.

and the only hope for the ninth star, whether the immigrant spaceship and power core can still be used normally.

I have to admit that Cornelies's appearance had made him ecstatic, with his understanding of his cousin, she must be a person who is willing to shed her blood for the ninth star, but after really handing over the task to her, Finn Laurener began to regret it again, does the heavy fate of a planet really have to be on the shoulders of a girl who does not know the world?

As a result of his sleepless nights and his health plummeted, the Coexistence faction noticed that it was a sign and even placed a guard in the inner courtyard to prevent anyone from coming into contact with the king.

Thankfully, all the worries were worth it, and Cornelys did come back sooner than he had imagined.

"There were times when I thought I wouldn't come back."

Cornelys poured a few gulps and said, "But I've met some people, both good and bad, and generally there are more bad people than good people, but I've met a very good person, and it's he who has taken me all the way to where I am now."

Finn Laurener sat at the table, cloaked in a coat and looking at her with one hand on the corner of the table, chuckling, "It's really just a 'very nice guy'

uot; Is it that simple?"

Cornelies' cheeks flashed two reds, and she immediately waved her hand and said, "Oops! Get down to business! Let's get down to business!"

She coughed lightly, avoided her cousin's gaze, and bowed her head, "A good news or a lot of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Finn Laurener smiled wryly, "So the only good news is probably not good news, right? Listen to it first, it's all the same."

Corneerys was noncommittal, and said, "The good news is that I have found the Sleeping Place and the Power Core, which is roughly the same as what you said, the Sleeping Place is under the city of Coper, and the Power Core is found in the statue of the Holy Queen."

"The power core is hidden in the statue of the Holy Queen?"

This was beyond Finn Lauren's prediction, and he bent his index finger against his chin and mused, "I thought that the monarch would sink the power core into the sea, but this is unexpected news."

"Don't be too happy too soon, the bad news is that there is only an empty shell left in the power core, and all the key parts in it have been taken away, Shu Yun returns...... It's the good guy I met, who suspects that the core of the power was preempted by the Coexistence faction."

Finn Laurener didn't speak, as if pondering the situation Cornelys had said.

"What the coexistence faction wants to do, cousin, you know better than me, if the power core really falls into their hands, there will be no way for us to restart the immigration spaceship."

"Not only that, but the power core is now the most powerful energy source on the ninth star, and the coexistence faction can use it to build countless weapons, and at that time, whether it is the inner city royal family, the outer city civilians, or even the wild outcasts, they will fall under their control."

"Cousin."

Corenerys shouted, "Are we really just going to have to watch the Coexistence Faction sell the Ninth Star to the orc leader?"
