Chapter 866: Current Situation of Wailing Marsh

Sima Imperial Palace.

Like all palaces.

This place also revealed resplendence and magnificence everywhere.

It was just that the representative color of the Sima Empire, or rather the Sima Family, was blue.

So within the resplendence and magnificence one could still see 'blues' of different colors from time to time.

Like sky blue, indigo blue, sea blue...

But as expected of an Empire that could be passed down for hundreds of years.

Even if these complicated things were combined within the glorious palace buildings, they still appeared so complementary to each other.

It was just that...

Or rather, compared to resplendence and magnificence, she liked small bridges and flowing water a bit more.

"Sir Lan Qingyou has arrived!"

When Lan Qingyou floated to the front of a certain main gate, the guards at the door loudly shouted out her name.

She took a look inside, good heavens.

Inside the huge room, people were standing densely packed.

Among these people there were knights wearing armor, and nobles wearing long robes.

There were also scholars wearing academic robes.

Of course, among these there were also Nikolai, Albert, Mela, and Elisa whom Lan Qingyou had met.

Alright.

Judging from the imperial throne placed right in front and the old man wearing a crown sitting on it, this place should be the legendary Audience Chamber.

And the people inside, after hearing the report from outside, also turned their heads in unison to look at Lan Qingyou at the door.

Tsk tsk.

This uniform and neat action.

It looked as if it had been rehearsed, having a very strong sense of oppression.

However, who was Lan Qingyou?

Could she be frightened by this kind of small lineup?

Fundamentally not empty alright!

"Haha, it looks like I came late?"

Lan Qingyou, who was floating in the air leisurely flying inside, smiled as if she fundamentally hadn't seen these people.

Alright.

In reality, in her eyes the existence of these people truly wasn't there either.

Or rather, she fundamentally couldn't even bother to look at these people.

Would you care about the looking up of ants?

Very obviously, Lan Qingyou wouldn't care.

That's why she could be this calm.

Afterwards she didn't look at anyone, and floated straight towards the place where Elisa and them were located.

After all, standing there were all Title Holders she knew.

Without any accidents, that should be the 'phalanx' of the Title Holders.

Anyway in this kind of place standing following Elisa was definitely not wrong.

"How is it, the first time holding court?"

After floating to Elisa's side, Elisa asked Lan Qingyou softly as if joking.

"Not how, if possible I wouldn't even want to come."

Lan Qingyou curled her lips.

"Who says it isn't, ah ha..."

At the side.

After hearing Lan Qingyou's complaint, Albert yawned in extreme agreement.

Very obviously, this guy didn't sleep last night.

Actually he fundamentally couldn't sleep either.

After all, he had conversed with the 'later person' Lan Qingyou for such a long time.

Many of the novel theories and angles of viewing problems raised by the other party gave him a feeling of parting the dense fog.

Thus after going back he immediately threw himself into research.

What he researched was unknown.

Anyway he spent this night extremely fulfilled.

If it wasn't for someone coming to say the Old Emperor was forcibly summoning.

He absolutely wouldn't have come out from the Workshop.

But even so, in his heart he was still somewhat indignant.

After all, the train of thought he finally had was interrupted, not directly blowing up the Imperial Palace could be considered him being gentle and refined.

"Alright, everyone is present."

With a thud.

Following the Old Emperor's opening remarks.

The flag-bearing knights standing on both sides of the Emperor heavily smashed the flagpoles in their hands onto the ground once.

That muffled sound directly made the originally clamorous crowd instantly quiet down.

The flagpole has Amplification Magic on it.

This was Lan Qingyou's first reaction.

After all she was an alchemist, she was extremely sensitive to these matters.

It would be better to say it was almost turning into an occupational disease.

But now wasn't the time to pay attention to these, still better see what news the Old Emperor has there.

"Horn, tell everyone the news transmitted back by the Bird of Paradise Knights last night."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Waiting until everyone quieted down, the Old Emperor slightly raised his hand, signaling Horn a bit.

And Horn, after receiving the order, stepped one step to the left, walking from among the crowd to the position of the middle red carpet.

"Everyone, a few days ago my Flamingo Knights joint forces with the Bird of Paradise Knights to conduct a thorough search of the Wailing Marsh."

"And just two days ago, the people searching the tunnels discovered a massive city building complex underground."

"After the vanguard team entered inside, they never came out again."

"Afterwards, the local commanding officer dispatched two more vanguard teams, the result was still not coming out."

"So that's why there is this urgent summons."

Horn explained the general matters a bit.

Subsequently he stood back to his previous position.

There were several people wearing magnificent armor there.

Without exception, they were all Knight Commanders in the Imperial Capital.

And right when Horn returned, a big fat man wearing a long gown stood out from the front of the ranks and slightly bowed in salute to the Old Emperor.

"Your Majesty, according to Commander Horn's statement, could it be this summons is held for the sake of forming an army to subjugate the Underground City?"

"This is Duke Taylor, the Prime Minister."

Elisa softly educated Lan Qingyou at the side.

After all she was the 'princess' of the Aureolus Family.

During this period of time besides family knowledge, she was also forcibly crammed with quite a bit of things regarding the imperial court.

But fortunately because it was the relationship of an alchemy family.

So there wasn't any superfluous socializing.

This indeed gave Elisa quite a bit of breathing time.

"Tsk tsk, being so fat and actually still able to live, as expected magic is a good thing ah."

Lan Qingyou looked at Duke Taylor's corpulent body and secretly clicked her tongue.

One must know the weight of this specification would definitely have to be around over two hundred, three hundred catties.

It almost matched a New Year's pig.

As a result the person not only could walk and run.

He could even bend his waist and bow.

Her pair of Demon Eyes saw it truly and clearly.

The reason that fat duke was able to violate gravity to do this was entirely magic at work.

No... not just magic.

There were also magic items that helped quite a bit in this.

Not to mention other things.

Just that pair of shoes the other party wore was made using top-tier demonic beast skin.

Engraved with at least five types of enchantments on it.

That's why they say the existence with money and power is the sharpest.

Setting aside whether there is strength or not for now.

Just the dual titles of Duke and Prime Minister were enough to make quite a few people even subsidize themselves just to paste themselves on to mooch a bit of 'blessings'.

No.

From a certain sense.

Whether it was power or financial resources.

They were also a way of expressing strength.

Although as far as Lan Qingyou was concerned, looking at this duke and looking at a wild boar wearing luxurious clothes was no different.

"The Prime Minister is correct, summoning everyone to come this time is precisely to discuss matters regarding the formation of an exploration team."

The Old Emperor nodded his head.

"Because there is no intelligence whatsoever this time, and we have already lost three or four vanguard teams."

"In addition, there is also the matter of disgusting things like the Britt Rats in this."

"So everyone is needed to discuss a bit."
