Chapter 18: The Empire of the Rising Star

As the head of the three empires, the Dawn Star Empire has strong financial resources, and its military strength crushes the other two empires, and it also has the support of the Wizards Association. So much so that when the prince's rebellion occurred, the other two royal families did not dare to show any involvement.

Star Capital is the capital of the Dawn Star Empire, and it is also the most prosperous city in the entire Holy Light Continent.

The streets of Xingdu are full of traffic, crowded with people, and most of the extravagant and gorgeous buildings show the prosperity of Xingdu on the side. There are also countless large buildings standing in it, including the headquarters of the Wizards Association, the first academy in the mainland, the Starlight Academy, the headquarters or branches of major chambers of commerce and other associations. But there is also a large complex of buildings that stands above them, and at the same time stands above the star capital.

That is the palace of the royal family of Xixing. The palace looks magnificent, with countless pavilions and ornaments, all of which show the luxury of the palace.

There is also a garden at the back of the palaces, in which all kinds of precious and bright flowers compete with each other, and a large number of herbaceous plants and woody plants appear in this garden. The garden is full of life, like a paradise, hidden behind the palace.

At this time, in the pavilion in the middle of the garden, a young man dressed in dark blue clothes sat in it, and his clothes were embroidered with various star charts, which seemed to have a sense of mystery.

This person is none other than the emperor of the Dawn Star Empire, the Nebula Emperor - Mu Yun. According to outsiders' understanding of him, they probably know that he is at least a powerhouse above the eighth order.

Mu Yun sat in the pavilion, looking at the trees outside, feeling the vitality contained in the leaves. At the same time, there is also a sense of waiting, waiting for others to arrive.

Sure enough, a young man who looked similar to him slowly approached the pavilion from the bamboo forest in the distance.

When he was less than five meters away from the pavilion, he said loudly, "Big brother." ”

This person is Mu Yun's younger brother, Prince Lilin, Mu Yu.

Mu Yun's vision did not turn to him, but continued to look at the trees outside the pavilion, but he still slowly blurted out on the side of his mouth. "Well, you're here. Sit down first. ”

When Mu Yu sat down, Mu Yun spoke: "Say, how is the situation?" ”

"The rebellious forbidden army has been taken down, and some of the aristocratic forces in the star capital have suddenly left the imperial capital, probably all of them participated in this rebellion, for fear of being found out by you and being damaged, so they left early, but some of their enemies seized the opportunity to take it down. We still ran a few, but it didn't make a difference to us. In addition, the second brother's side was completely suppressed, and now the situation is basically stable. After talking for a long time, I finished telling the whole situation now.

Mu Yun slowly turned around and looked at Mu Yu. After hearing that the situation was stable, not only did he not feel happy, but he was still a little angry. "You still call him second brother..."

He had already arranged a lot of back-ups, and handed them over to his most trusted Mu Yu to act, and he had a certain control over the entire situation. Even if there is a slight change, he is unmoved, as long as it does not affect the overall situation. However, Mu Yu's behavior made him a little dissatisfied.

"Although he is only a half-brother, he has the same blood as our father after all." Mu Yu explained in a deep voice.

Mu Yun scolded angrily. "He is deliberately thinking about rebellion, is this what brothers should do!"

Mu Yu sat quietly in place, without any response. Some time ago, he suddenly got the news of his second brother Mufeng's rebellion, which made him a little unacceptable. Although his relationship with Mu Yun was far better than Mu Feng's, he still didn't believe his ears at the first time.

"It's okay if he betrays me, what makes me most angry is that he actually attacked Yao'er." At the same time as this sentence, Mu Yun also patted the stone table in the pavilion.

Mu Yu shook his head slightly when he heard this, and asked at the same time. "Big brother, how is Yao'er doing now?"

"She didn't have any serious injuries except for the wound on her leg, which was saved by an assassin called Stasis, according to Mo Cheng." Mu Yun said in a low voice.

Mu Yao is Mu Yun's only daughter, and she is also the most suitable and only heir of the Xixing Empire, if something really happens, Mu Yun may be ruthless to Mu Feng directly.

Hearing that Mu Yao was not seriously injured, Mu Yu also sighed softly. "She's fine. Recently, this Stasis has been spreading all the rage in the city. ”

"Yes, but according to Mo Cheng, there is a high probability that it has fallen. However, we have not seen his body, so how can we be sure that he must have fallen! ”

"What do you mean, brother?" Mu Yu hesitated in a low voice.

Mu Yun explained. "After listening to Yao'er and Mo Cheng's story, I think he hasn't fallen. The Assassins' Guild doesn't have a particularly good relationship with us, which is why I asked you to deliver a letter to me the other day. ”

Hearing the letter, Mu Yu was stunned, in addition to reporting the news to Mu Yun this time, he also had one more thing, that is, to send a letter.

"It's a reply from an undercover agent." While speaking, he took out a white envelope and handed it to Mu Yun.

Mu stretched out his hand to dissolve the special magic on the envelope, but he didn't take the letter, but pushed it back directly. "Just open it and read it out." Mu Yun's willingness to let Mu Yu read this letter also shows his trust in him.

Mu Yu opened the letter as he did, was stunned for a moment, and then read it slightly. "Luo Mengyan, codenamed Stasis, will be the son of Luo Lengfeng. Three-year-old awakening... 9… 96 points of innate spiritual power, and at the same time began to receive the highest intensity training of the association, only nine years old to step into... Fourth-order, and with the strength of the first fourth-order, he successfully fused the "Ice God Codex"! Now it has broken through the bottleneck of the fourth order and stepped into the fifth order. Dual-cultivation of martial arts and magic, he is an unprecedented demon assassin. Not long ago, he appeared in Baimang City and took two fifth-order missions. The mission location is none other than the Richen Forest. ”

Mu Yun, who was sitting opposite, was also stunned when he heard the content of the letter, and then came out slightly. "Innate spiritual power of 96 points, fused with the Ice God Codex, a fifth-order demon assassin under the age of ten."

Mu Yu said with emotion. "Big brother, this is a huge danger!"

Mu Yun shook his head and asked, "Do you think Luo Lengfeng, the old fox, will give you a loophole?" ”

"According to Luo Lengfeng's inertia, it is estimated that a divine thorn has already been sent to his side. If that Stasis is this Luo Mengyi, it is estimated that he is still alive now. Speaking of Luo Lengfeng, Mu Yu commented again: "Luo Lengfeng's ability to control the overall situation is not inferior to mine, but his ambition is too big. This was the reason why he was willing to let his three-year-old son begin training at the highest intensity of the Assassin Society. ”

Mu Yun also couldn't help but sigh. "Yes, I think we two brothers lost in his hands."

Mu Yu said loudly: "How can you be regarded as losing to him that time, he is just stronger than us in personal strength." ”

"Personal strength is also an important factor that can change the overall situation, not an excuse for us to fail." Mu Yun slowly stood up and spoke again, "My father once told me, 'Don't make excuses for failure, make excuses for success.'" I remember that failure. ”

Listening to Mu Yun's words, Mu Yu also felt a little guilty, he didn't care much about that failure because he was too weak.

At this time, Mu Yun fell into memories. These two people quietly sighed and recalled in the pavilion.

About a minute later, Mu Yu was the first to break the silence. "Big brother, when did you arrange this nail? No more than a few people within the Assassins Guild know about such important information. Moreover, Luo Lengfeng is so shrewd, how could he not find out? An inexplicable curiosity drove Mu Yu to ask. , where "nail" naturally refers to undercover.

Mu Yun also reacted from his memories, "No matter how shrewd he is, it's useless, this nail was driven by his father at the beginning, and when he went in, Luo Lengfeng was still a child." The last thing an Assassin lacks is patience, and Nail will hardly reach out to me. ”

"Therefore, no matter how shrewd a person is, he can't wear time, even Luo Lengfeng is not surprised." After Mu Yu got the results, he did not stay on this topic and quickly returned to the previous key issues. "By the way, what should Luo Mengyan do?"

"Luo Mengyan doesn't have to worry, just from this incident of Yao'er, it can be seen that the Assassins Association has not cultivated him into a killing machine, as long as we use it well, he can also solve the crisis in the shadows. However, only you know about Luo Meng's death, I know. ”

Mu Yu frowned slightly, Mu Yun's words were obvious, that is, about Luo Mengyan, or about the ice shadow, Mu Yao must not be told.

"Yes!"

meanwhile

In one of the palaces of the Dawn Star Palace.

Mu Yao was sitting in a delicate chair with a desk in front of her. On the desk were letters one after another.

She still had bandages on her legs, and after that day, her leg wound became inflamed again, and it was only now that it got better, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Looking at the replies of denial, Mu Yao's heart was full of anxiety.

At this time, there happened to be a person standing five meters in front of the table to report the news. "Your Royal Highness, the Assassins' Guild has replied, and they say that there is indeed no such person called Stasis."

Receiving the reply from the Assassin Association, Mu Yao was stunned for a moment before speaking. "Okay, you go first......"

Although she had guessed this outcome early on, she was still a little desperate when she actually heard it.

His eyes began to become a little hollow, and his sockets were red. She raised her left hand, looked at the source of the freesia on her index finger, and said to herself, "Is there really none?"

Soon, the images in front of me began to blur.

"Stasis, you must still be alive...... Is that right? Tears continued to flow down her face, and her voice was a little hoarse.
