Chapter 867: Waiting Right Here

Very strange.

This was Lan Qingyou's first feeling.

Couldn't say where it was strange, but just felt this matter itself was a bit... 'peculiar'?

Although this Old Emperor stated quite a few reasons.

But Lan Qingyou felt there was a problem.

Logically speaking, forming this kind of team fundamentally didn't need to gather so many people right?

He wasn't some Emperor having an elder system and being constrained everywhere.

But the other party just did it like this.

And did it with great fanfare.

Even the scholars who fundamentally shouldn't be here all came.

What exactly did this Old Emperor want to do?

Lan Qingyou frowned.

In her view, the matter absolutely wasn't as simple as what the Old Emperor said with his mouth.

"So, needing people with enough magic power and strength to go spy out the reality is the best."

Right when Lan Qingyou was thinking by herself.

The 'outside world' had already turned upside down with arguing regarding this dispatch.

Originally the imperial court of the Sima Empire was divided into the Duke Faction and the Minister Faction.

But because this time it also involved the matter of combat, so the Knight Commanders who always didn't interfere in government affairs also joined into this argument.

The people of the Duke Faction and the Minister Faction both hoped to occupy the dominant power in this.

But how could the people of the Knight Orders yield this kind of thing?

You must be joking!

Letting a group of guys who only know how to fight for power and profit command the army, command the battle.

Wasn't that making it clear letting people walk towards death?

Although the Knight Orders also had their own strongholds.

But at this kind of time everyone strongly resisted.

It could be said an urgent meeting allowed Lan Qingyou and Elisa the two of them to see the political situation of the Empire clearly and plainly.

But!

What did this have to do with the two of them?

You don't say!

This inside really did involve a relationship with the two of them.

"I feel this time besides the combat personnel, a team of scholars and a research team should also be dispatched in, so as to grasp what those damn Britt Rats are exactly doing at the first instant."

Right when Lan Qingyou and Elisa as well as those scholars were all watching the show.

Someone among the ministers stood out and said like this.

Good heavens!

So they were waiting for us right here!

The scholars who originally still thought they would just serve as a foil in this meeting finally understood the reason why they were called to come.

"What use could we going have?"

A scholar who didn't understand asked.

"Good question!"

Right at this time!

That Old Emperor sitting on the imperial throne watching the farce below shouted loudly.

Instantly attracting everyone's gazes over.

"This time besides those things Horn said just now, there is also a piece of intelligence that I have never revealed to the outside..."

Clap clap!

Saying this, the Old Emperor clapped his hands.

Subsequently an attendant brought out a silver plate from the side.

The plate held some thing, covered by a red cloth, bulging a large piece.

Waiting until the attendant walked to the Old Emperor's side and bent down, the Old Emperor reached out and tore off that piece of red cloth.

Boom——

At once, everyone inside the hall whispered for the thing inside this plate.

That was a head.

A head with a long flat bone growing out on the back of the head.

Lan Qingyou recognized it.

Wasn't this exactly that one she threw to Arthur to 'play with' previously.

But what was this old thing taking this out for?

"Everyone has all seen it, there is a bone whip on the back of the head, the previous Britt Rats didn't have this thing."

"What does this explain?"

"Evolution!"

"Although this evolution is ugly, and even possibly a failure!"

"But it is a genuine, solid evolution!"

"I don't know if this is good or bad for humanity."

"But for us humans! For the entire Empire! It is all a good thing!"

"Marching in place just represents regression."

"So we need to figure out exactly how the evolution of these Britt Rats came about!"

"As well as whether there are other Evolved Species within that Underground City!"

Speaking of the two words 'evolution'.

Lan Qingyou and Elisa both looked at each other.

Evolution.

They were just too familiar with this word.

It would be better to say the two of them were the products of evolution.

It would be better to say the space-time they were in was littered with this and that kind of Evolver everywhere.

Although some were called Awakeners, some called Professionals...

But no matter what the designation was.

What methods were used.

That all represented a kind of evolution, or rather a kind of progress.

"So! We need scholars to go together!"

"So! We need researchers to go together!"

"So! We need Title Holders to go together!"

"For the Empire! And also for all of humanity!"

Just like giving a speech.

The Old Emperor stood up from the chair, then spread out both hands gesturing continuously.

That appearance made Lan Qingyou unable to help but birth a feeling in her heart of wanting to raise her right hand.

It was just that when this old thing said the last sentence, his gaze looked towards my side right?

That is to say making the Title Holders go?

That's true.

Otherwise the meaning of calling them to come would be gone.

"Just a few days ago, that duel between Sir Elisa and Sir Lan Qingyou let us see their abilities."

"This is not only in research, but even more so in martial force."

"It also represents the two have sufficient combat ability as well as self-protection ability!"

"So I decided to let the two most shining new stars of the Empire serve as the commanding officers leading the team this time, proceeding to investigate."

"I wonder if Sir Elisa and Sir Lan Qingyou can accept this mission?"

As he spoke, the Old Emperor looked his gaze towards the two.

Lan Qingyou rolled her eyes.

Fine!

With words already spoken to this extent, where was the reason to refuse?

What 'Empire's most shining new star' ah.

Isn't this just saying 'you are newly arrived, so a certificate of blood is needed'?

No wonder she was entertained with good food and good drinks these days.

Even equipped with such a professional team to carry out meticulous care.

So in the final analysis it was right here ah!

If done well, everything remains as usual.

If not done well, that treatment would very likely be downgraded.

Even to the extent of appearing some other things like marginalization.

Reading books during this time made Lan Qingyou understand the so-called 'Title Holders' truly weren't as respected as expressed outside.

At least between the lines of some books Lan Qingyou could still find some clues.

After all, the classes and bonuses given by Titles were all kinds of strange things.

So some holders of marginal classes and skills that sincerely couldn't be used were at most thrown into the research and development team to mold and wait for death.

Although this wasn't any bad thing for her.

But after all she still needed to find a soul suitable for her soul strength to repair her own soul.

Underground City huh...

In here perhaps there might just be a 'style' suitable for herself maybe?

Thus.

Lan Qingyou nodded and accepted this job.

Although the Meteorite skill couldn't be used underground.

But she didn't just have the Meteorite skill ah.

It would be better to say the Meteorite skill was nothing more than just a way of expressing her abilities.

She still had plenty of killer moves.

A 'restricted' situation fundamentally didn't exist.
