Chapter 868: First Eliminate the Correct Answers

"So, what is the reason for finding us to come?"

After the meeting adjourned, Lan Qingyou floated outwards following the large group.

While floating, she also complained to Elisa at the side.

Indeed.

Because them coming here, besides knowing matters that originally could be dictated.

Only left being forcibly requested to lead a team to the Underground City of the Wailing Marsh.

These matters clearly only needed finding someone to come to the door and talk a bit and it would be fine.

As a result they insisted on making them come.

And made it so grand.

But now they called them here because of this matter.

The key was they also called quite a few Title Holders.

The most crucial thing was that after the meeting adjourned, besides the two of them 'having a mission on them' guys.

The rest of the Title Holders were all kept behind by the Old Emperor.

That's right.

Using the mission forced upon them to make them leave.

As for what they would chat about inside, they didn't know.

But they fundamentally wouldn't care either.

"Whether called or not is already unimportant, what's important is we accepted this mission."

Elisa walked outwards with an indifferent expression.

"Yeah, having already accepted the mission, then we definitely have to go."

"However, do you think inside that Underground City there might exist some guy that can match with my soul?"

Lan Qingyou, while floating, started her wishful fantasy.

However Elisa shook her head.

"I think it's estimated to be a bit precarious."

"Why?"

"If guys of your level truly existed down there, that Wailing Marsh would probably have changed its appearance long ago."

"..."

These words said.

As if she herself was some troublemaker.

Lan Qingyou rolled her eyes, and then didn't speak anymore.

For this mission they were the commanding officers.

That is to say the role of team leaders.

But the ones truly doing the work weren't them.

The members of this investigation group, because of the relationship of 'multi-party coordination'.

So the compositional elements inside were extremely complicated.

First was the combat personnel.

All several thousand remaining people of the Flamingo Knights in the Imperial Capital mobilized.

Whether it was those knights or magicians, all went.

Then were some geologists and biologists.

They went for the sake of researching 'the evolution method of the Britt Rats'.

Although Lan Qingyou told Arthur very clearly previously.

She also felt the Old Emperor should have obtained the 'first-hand information' from Arthur's side.

But the Old Emperor, as if not knowing, insisted on dispatching people to investigate again.

Euphemistically calling it confirmation.

But in reality it was just still holding a fluke mentality?

What remained were the two of them, the 'newly advanced new stars of the Empire', and a group of logistics.

Because no one knew how long they would stay down there.

So the Old Emperor after considering a bit directly allocated ten Spatial Bags out to serve as logistics supply.

Inside this logistics group, besides these ten 'backpackers' responsible for carrying bags, there were also thirty-something chefs responsible for managing meals and artisans repairing weapons.

Originally when everyone heard they were going to the Wailing Marsh, one by one they all had gloomy faces.

After all that place was just used for exile.

Whoever goes, dies.

But upon hearing the ones leading the team were the Empire's newly advanced Title Holders who shone brilliantly in the Imperial Colosseum a few days ago, everyone set their minds at ease again.

After all no one would let Title Holders go send themselves to death.

Even if that Title Holder wasn't some helpful existence.

Not to mention both of their combat power was very not bad.

Especially under the circumstance where because of the relationship with Stitched Demonic Beasts and Combat Golems, the two of them could both form 'one-person armies'.

And besides these people.

There were also four supernumerary personnel.

Don't misunderstand.

It wasn't other Title Holders.

But top-tier masseurs specially equipped for the two by the Old Emperor.

Using the Old Emperor's original words, it was 'let them only need to focus on leading the team, combat, and follow-up research'.

Although the Old Emperor said so.

But any discerning person could see these four so-called 'masseurs' were actually sent by the Old Emperor to supervise the two.

After all the dense magic power on the four people's bodies wasn't faked.

Of course, saying supervise might be a bit exaggerated.

It should be said they were existences like recorders.

The so-called 'loyalty not absolute, is absolutely not loyal'.

The Old Emperor was extremely clear that two suddenly popping out guys, then drawing out the Britt Rats hidden beside the Imperial Capital for so many years.

This didn't look ordinary no matter how one looked at it.

Alright.

Even if there wasn't this matter of the Britt Rats.

As an Emperor, he also must take precautions against these people being spies of other countries or such.

Although this possibility was minimal.

But it didn't mean there wasn't.

It would be better to say this kind of unexpectedness often could receive the greatest effect.

So whether for the Sima Family, or for the entire Empire, the Old Emperor couldn't possibly easily trust the two.

Even if they were Title Holders with the title of Genius Alchemists it was the same.

Because of the suddenness and urgency of this matter.

So the meeting was held in the morning, and the team was assembled at noon.

In the afternoon, several thousand people went magnificently towards the direction of the Wailing Marsh.

Of course, what Lan Qingyou the two sat in was already the Aureolus Family's carriage.

Compared to that Viscount specification carriage of Adams, it was a lot more luxurious.

However, no matter how luxurious, in Lan Qingyou's hands it still had to be modified a bit with magic.

As for why the Aureolus Family didn't come out to object.

That was because although they had accepted Elisa's identity.

But the Old Emperor also spoke very clearly.

Some matters were things that must be done even if the Aureolus Family objected.

Adding on that Elisa herself didn't object to this either.

So the Aureolus Family didn't open their mouths again.

After all, the Old Emperor was also for the Empire, for their common interests.

This gave no cause for much criticism.

And right when the two led the team to leave.

On the city walls of the Imperial Capital, there were two familiar figures watching their team go far away.

These two weren't anyone else, precisely Albert and Nikolai.

After the morning meeting ended, the two and the rest of the Title Holders were all kept behind.

What was mainly discussed was matters regarding evolution.

Previously when learning that the Britt Rats could evolve by eating people, this Old Emperor also once felt tempted.

But as a person who grew up in civilization, he ultimately failed to put it into action.

But this didn't mean he didn't want evolution.

So he gathered all these people up wanting to see everyone's thoughts.

To see if they could start from somewhere else.

Among them, the ones he placed the most hope in were the two people of the [Imperial Twin Moons].

Whether it was alchemy, or concocting magic potions, they both looked like things that would seemingly work, things that could truly solve his pain points.

Of course.

It wasn't saying alchemy definitely would work.

And other things wouldn't.

That's why the Old Emperor called all Title Holders within the Imperial Capital to come research a bit.

However, what he didn't know was that the genuine ones who could understand what he wanted to do, and were also solid, the two people had already been excluded outside by him.

So.

Before answering the question, one must definitely first eliminate the correct answers.
