Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

After breaking through sixty and seventy Affection Levels, the Cultivation System had already saved up two Skill Points.

But Lin En merely glanced at it, not rushing to use them.

The current situation could barely be considered stable.

The civil war on the Forbidden Wall side had ended, the Rebel Army was cleaned up, Lei Ou was proven innocent, and was reorganizing his troops.

On the Main Hive side, the Nobles were silent as cicadas in winter, with no one daring to jump out again.

On the Ice Plains side, the Wildmen and Cold Soldiers cooperated seamlessly, and the Green Skins couldn't stir up any waves.

As for Luna and the Machine Cult......

Lin En hadn't yet decided how to handle them.

But that wasn't urgent; at least for now, they hadn't torn faces yet.

He'd keep the Skill Points, deciding how to use them when the need arose.

Nine days had passed since Lin En was attacked at Saint Galus Castle.

Lin En as usual invited his dear subjects, those Nobles, to visit the Governor's Mansion.

Raid the homes, raid the homes, or raid the homes.

A group of disobedient Nobles huddled in their manor vaults, trembling.

They had just heard that Gus had arrived near the manor, and a guard on duty shook his head, sighing:

"Sigh~ Gus is here, another manor is about to fall."

The names on the list grew fewer and fewer, and the grain in the warehouses grew more and more.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

Until that morning, when an Attendant delivered an invitation.

Lin En opened it, took a look, and rubbed his eyes.

It was an invitation letter from the Upper City Council.

This meeting, founded by Karadong, had been suspended a week before his disappearance.

Now it was actually being held again?

He looked at the inviter's name at the signature: Luna Saint Galus.

Lin En narrowed his eyes.

After the Attendant withdrew, the Tearing Worm in his sleeve immediately became alert.

At the same time, Lena's voice sounded in his mind, with obvious wariness:

"Could it be another trap?"

Lin En said nothing.

To be honest, he was afraid too.

The lesson from last time was still fresh in his mind: controlled by Lust Poison, cut off from Lena, and nearly offered to the Lord of Lust by Calum.

If not for Lena's quick reaction and the State Religion troops arriving in time, he wouldn't know where he was suffering now.

He first asked around about what this meeting was about.

Finally he discovered it was indeed somewhat different from last time.

Luna had invited many people, with a long string of names on the list.

Archbishop Goodwin, Chief Executive Carter, and various Noble Factions.

Basically everyone of note in Brevis had received an invitation.

In Lin En's view, this council even carried a sense of showing off.

As if declaring: I, Luna Saint Galus, have finally become the Big Boss of this family.

You all come take a look, come see, come witness.

Lin En smiled somewhat helplessly.

"Check it out." He said to Lena, "See what she's been up to lately."

Lena's efficiency was fast.

Through the Genestealer Network spread throughout the Main Hive, she quickly learned of Luna's movements during this period.

Very honest, really very honest.

She was basically just reclaiming the family's power; departments originally belonging to Calum were taken over by her.

Old ministers originally loyal to Karadong were talked to by her one by one.

Some were retained, some transferred, some marginalized.

Everything was very normal, very proper, very much what a Regent King should do.

The only situation was that the Machine Cult recently was no longer "Invisible" like before, and began mobilizing armed forces to assist Luna in seizing sovereignty.

After hearing the report, Lin En pondered for a while.

"So she really just wants to show off?"

Lena didn't answer, but in the emotion she transmitted, there was a trace of helplessness saying "How would I know."

Lin En thought it over and made a decision.

"Go take a look."

This time going out, Lin En brought Isud along.

Dou Dou was still recuperating; that big guy's resistance to Chaos Corruption was frighteningly high.

But last time, outside the restaurant door, he had been urgently searching for Lin En and fought a group of Chaos Believers.

He had been slashed dozens of times on his body; though it was nothing serious, he was still lying in the infirmary now.

Lin En had gone to see him once.

That guy lay on the bed, wrapped head to toe in bandages; seeing Lin En come in, he still smiled foolishly.

"Big Boss, I'm fine, I'll be up in two days."

Lin En patted his shoulder and said nothing.

With Isud by his side, even if those opposite tried the same trick again, he believed he had the ability to escape.

Now their combined combat power was enough to handle most sudden situations.

Upper City Council Hall.

Lin En still arrived right on time.

Today he dressed especially "grandly," wearing platinum-colored Exquisite Power Armor, with the Governor's Medal and a row of blessed prayers hanging on his chest.

Draped over his shoulders was a snow-white fur scarf offered by the Wildmen; at his left waist hung the Valyrian Sword, and at his right hung that Holy Relic Bolter.

Fully Armed.

He looked less like someone coming to a meeting and more like someone coming to fight.

The hall was already full of people.

Bishops of the State Religion, Nobles of the Upper City, commanders of the PDF, guild presidents of Middle City, and alliance lords of the Wasteland Walkers of Lower City.

Basically all the big shots in all of Brevis had arrived.

Only a few people knew why Lin En was dressed like this.

Goodwin sat in the Bishop's seat; seeing Lin En enter, he nodded at him.

His Pure White Eye narrowed slightly; he was clearly trying not to laugh.

Carter sat in the Governor's Mansion seat; seeing Lin En Fully Armed, he was first stunned, then understood something.

Others weren't so understanding; they just looked at Governor Sir's shining equipment and whispered among themselves.

"Why is the Governor dressed like this today?"

"Don't know, maybe he just came back from somewhere?"

"This power armor is really beautiful; when can I have a set too..."

"You? This is the collection of the Oren Guild President; one set can be exchanged for an Escort Ship."

Lin En ignored those discussions; his gaze fell on the seat next to the main seat.

A person sat there.

A woman.

Long white hair, loose on her shoulders.

Her skin was a healthy wheat color; her overall temperament was that of an intellectual elite woman, but with wildness in her bones.

Her left eye was a Yi Yi Yan, an exquisite mechanical construct, with faint blue light flashing at the pupil.

The degree of bodily modification on her was quite high, but she maintained a human form.

If you didn't look closely, there was no difference from an Ordinary Person.

Luna Saint Galus.

The current Regent Luna of Saint Galus.

She was also looking at Lin En.

Lin En's shining equipment, and the sword and Bolter hanging at his waist.

She smiled.

That smile carried obvious Mockery.

"Governor Sir," she spoke, her voice clear, carrying a certain condescending tone.

"This place isn't exactly dangerous; why are you dressed so heavily?"

Several Nobles beside her also started laughing.

"Right, right, Governor Sir is too cautious."

"Saint Galus Castle is one of the safest places in the Main Hive!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Lin En looked at those laughing people, with no expression on his face.

He silently memorized the faces of those people in his heart.

Finally he looked at Luna and smiled slightly.

"Regent Luna is right," he said, his tone as calm as if chatting about the weather.

"Hopefully I was overthinking it."

He walked to his seat, drew the Valyrian Sword, and stabbed it hard into the Floor beside the seat.

The surrounding Noble Faction could even feel a scorching Sword Qi sweeping through the meeting room.

The whole place fell silent.

Only then did Lin En sit down.

Isud stood behind him, like a silent Escort.

Luna glanced at Isud; something flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to that condescending expression.

She said nothing, merely withdrew her gaze, signaling the meeting to begin.
