Chapter 1424: Eternal Night Star (2)
Pushing open the door, the atmosphere inside the door is quiet and solemn. Lucy saw a figure standing with its back facing her beside the long and narrow high window. That is the emperor of Ida Huaxing, her father, Orfascist who has the title of King of Justice.
This figure used to be majestic and noble, but now it is somewhat bleak. Lucy's heart trembled suddenly. It turned out that her father, who had always been domineering, had grown old unknowingly.
He turned around, and a smile cracked on Orfascius' tired face: "Here you are, kid."
Lucy saluted lightly, walked over and said, "Father, isn't the meeting going well?"
Orfascius sighed and said: "The situation on the other side of the earth is worse than what I imagined. The Kidds even participated in the war. The Duke's situation there is not very smooth. Today's meeting, Marquis Rowan actually proposed to withdraw troops. It is the Kidds who participated in the battle more than the previous estimate of the battle situation, and I am afraid it will bring us unnecessary losses."
"Withdraw troops? How can that be done?" Lucy whispered.
Orfascius snorted: "Of course not. Once the troops are withdrawn, what will the entire alliance think of us, so I vetoed this on the spot. Therefore, the remaining options are to maintain the status quo and increase the number of troops. The former and Let’s not talk about it, as for the latter. At present, our force allocation is basically saturated, and apart from maintaining the safety of the interstellar defense line and the Gat star field, only the army of our home star can be dispatched.”
"But once the strength of the home planet is deployed, our defense will inevitably decline."
"That's right, that's why Rowan and the others strongly opposed it. But they never thought that the longer the earth drags on, the greater our consumption will be." Orfascis waved his hand and smiled: "Stop talking, This issue should be left to the table for resolution. Let’s talk about your business, so eager to see me, is there a breakthrough in the Twilight Son’s issue?”
Lucy smiled bitterly and said, "Our scholars have been studying the issue of the Son of Twilight for so long, so how could it be so easy for me to solve it. But I found some clues, and I want to go to a planet to see for myself."
"Wouldn't it be taking the opportunity to run to see him?" Orfascius half-jokingly asked, "Which planet are you going to?"
"Mubes Starfield, Eternal Night Star numbered Y26483."
Orfascius was obviously taken aback: "You are going to the Mubes star field, that is not a good place, you wait." He looked up towards the dome and said: "Yeris, call out the Mubes star field, planet number Y26483 data of."
"I obey, Your Majesty." The gentle voice of the Central Intellectual Brain sounded from the dome.
Idahua divides the universe into nine star domains,
Each star field is divided into multiple sectors to identify the specific position of the planet. Among the nine star fields, the Gart star field is undoubtedly the most prosperous, and the Mubes star field is the oldest. Scholars on Idahua even believe that the star field is the singularity of the universe.
Soon, some rays of light pierced in front of Orfascius, and they interweaved images. After a while, a lonely planet appeared in the room, and around the planet were explanatory texts about the internal conditions of the planet. Looking at these words, Orfascius' face gradually became serious: "My child, I hope you have read the information of Yongye Xing. This is a planet that is about to come to an end, and the planet is full of various catastrophic climates. , the only remaining natives of the planet are extremely evil and fierce. We originally had a research base on this planet, but now most of the personnel in the base have withdrawn, only a few scholars and an army of about 100 people are stationed, but they also It will be gone soon."
"That's why I have to go there immediately. According to the data, there is a very old temple on the Eternal Night Star. I want to investigate this temple. I have to rush to this planet before it is destroyed. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll miss some important clues.”
"Since you insist, then fine." Orfascis said seriously: "I will send a team to protect you, and you can move freely at ordinary times. But if they judge that the situation is critical, I allow them to use all means to bring you back. "
Lucy hesitated.
Orfascius said: "Don't worry, they are absolutely reliable, they are only considering your safety, and will not interfere too much with what you want to do."
"Okay then, but I'm taking Angeloni with me."
"Your guard? That's no problem, promise my child. Clues are important, but your safety is even more important."
Lucy nodded.
After she left, Orfascius raised his head and said to Zhinao, "Let the Marquis of Main come to see me."
Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door. After getting the emperor's permission, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in from the door. With a gentle smile on his face, his movements were as gentle as the wind, and he half knelt down towards Orfascius and said: "Your Majesty, Ma Yin is here to wait for orders."
"Marquis, Lucy is going to visit Yong Ye Xing. The child's safety can only be entrusted to you, can you take care of her for me?"
Ma Yin put away his smile and said solemnly: "Golden Rose swears to protect every generation of Golden Rose's successor, no matter whether he is a rich man or a commoner. Please rest assured on this point, even if the entire Golden Rose family dies, it will never die. It will make Her Royal Highness Lucy lose one hair!"
"Then it's time to work. If you need anything, let the Prime Minister arrange it on your behalf."
Ma Yin clenched his fist, hammered his chest hard, and then walked away backwards.
It was night, when Marquis Rowan returned to his mansion with a tired face, the butler said, "My lord, Princess Lika and Her Highness O'Calley are here to visit. Madam is accompanying you in the hall."
Lika is Luo Wen's younger sister, and Luo Wen loves her the most. He loves O'Calley as his own daughter, and he hates this little niece to be wronged the most on weekdays. Hearing that the two were visiting, Luo Wen gave up the idea of resting and went to the hall instead.
In the hall, two women were chatting happily, while a girl next to her was unhappy. Marquis Rowan laughed loudly, walked into the hall and said, "Who offended our Miss O'Calley, tell me, my uncle will stand up for you."
Seeing the Marquis standing up quickly, Ao Jiali stuck out her tongue and said, "That man is very powerful, I'm afraid you won't be able to offend my uncle."
Luo Wen put on a straight face and said: "Nonsense, there is no one in this city of gold that I have to shy away from. Even the Duke has to ask."
O'Callery wrinkled her nose and said, "Then teach Lucy a lesson for me."
"His Royal Highness Lucy?" Luo Wen smiled wryly: "Then it's not a question of whether to provoke or not. Uncle will not meddle in the quarrel between your children."
"What quarrel, that Lucy slapped me twice, uncle, don't you just let it go?"
"What?" Luo Wen's eyes turned cold: "She dared to slap you, which is too arrogant. Then I'd like to ask the emperor, isn't Ao Jiali not his child?"
At this time a woman stood up, but it was Princess Lika. She glared at Ao Jiali first, then snorted and said, "You've learned to tell tales at such a young age. Why don't you tell uncle that you insulted him first? Get down here, don't embarrass yourself here."
Ao Jiali looked displeased, but she gave her mother another look, but she didn't dare to refute, so she could only leave the hall. Marquis Rowan looked embarrassed, but fortunately Princess Lika told the story, otherwise, if he went to Xingshi to question the crime, he would only end up in trouble.
Princess Lika looked at her brother with a smile and shook her head: "Brother, how old are you, and you are still so impulsive. Over the years, you have offended a lot of people by protecting Ao Jiali, and others are fine, but this time You must never offend me. So when I heard that this little guy came to look for you, I quickly chased him over."
Luo Wen said embarrassingly: "I was indeed reckless, and I didn't ask clearly the reason. If this incident left a bad impression on His Majesty, then I would not be worth the loss."
The concubine, who looked somewhat similar to Luo Wen, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's nothing, but if you hold grudges against the Golden Rose family, then our family will have a difficult time in the Golden City."
"Golden Rose?" Luo Wen frowned and said, "They have disappeared for many years, and it is still unclear whether this family exists."
Princess Lika shook her head: "There is no need to doubt, they still exist, and they have warned O'Callee. Brother, Golden Rose swears to support every successor of Golden Rose, it seems that it is not a joke."
"You mean, now the Golden Rose is born again?" Marquis Rowan frowned and said, "This is not good news. No one knows how deep this family's heritage is. If they are regarded as enemies, then It's been a rough day."
"This is another reason why I came here. Golden Rose supports that Highness, because she is afraid that His Highness will hate O'Calley and even cause that ancient family to be unfavorable to our family." Princess Lika laughed at herself: "It may also be me. Thinking too much, Jin Qiangwei won't go to war because of the children's quarrel, right?"
"It's impossible, but the successors of this term are the royal family. I'm afraid that they will support that highness on the surface, but in fact they will use the name of the royal family to open the door for themselves." Luo Wen frowned: "And if that highness With the support of Golden Rose, our little Carrie will not be as dazzling as her. In this way, many plans may be affected, such as the marriage with that person."
"And His Majesty's love for her is obviously higher than that of other princes and princesses. I am very worried that there will be another empress in the Golden City in the future."
A hint of sternness flashed in Luo Wen's eyes: "Then let the empress disappear before succeeding to the throne."
The two women in the hall were shocked, and Princess Lika said: "Brother, you can't talk nonsense. But your majesty is so kind to Lucy. I heard that the princess is going to leave Ida Huaxing, so your majesty arranged for it. Protect her by hand, how can other princes and princesses have this kind of preferential treatment."
"Lucy is leaving Ida Huaxing? Where are you going?"
"I heard that she is going to a planet called Eternal Night in the Mubes star field. It is a desolate place. I really don't understand what she is going to do there?"
Rowan laughed: "We don't care what she does there, but there are not many opportunities to leave Idahua Star like this. It's normal for some accidents to happen during the interstellar journey. Even the princess may not come back. Are you right? Bar?"
"Brother, what do you mean?" Princess Lika shook her head and said, "No, that would be too risky."
Luo Wen said: "If you want to achieve great things, how can you not take risks? Or think about it, if we O'Callie can become an empress, then our family will be able to prosper forever. But as long as that Highness is alive, this wish will never be fulfilled." A day that came true!"
