Mrs. Lianyi delivered the envelope and wooden box to the third floor.
"Prince Chen?"
Lei Luo got up and took the envelope and the wooden box with a look of astonishment.
Isn't the mission of the space node of the scar of the moon already over
Judging from the meaning of the old man who sent the letter, it seemed that Prince Chen was not protected by the Temple of Wisdom.
After Lianyi handed the envelope and wooden box to Lei Luo, she looked cautious.
"Lei Luo, His Majesty the current emperor has three princes in total. The eldest prince Bo Ao is undoubtedly the most favored by His Majesty. However, the aristocratic families and the church clearly support the second prince Pingxin. As for Prince Chen..."
Ripple shook his head.
"No one is optimistic about him. His birth was a mistake. I think the reason why he wooed you is because he also knows that it is impossible for him to get the support of those big forces. On the other hand, it is because of your mentor and Wushuang. Brother, I want to remind you that once you get involved in political disputes, you will have no way to get out. This is a very dangerous thing, even far more than the current situation where you are assassinated by the prince of Sealand, even if your mentor and senior brother , and dare not arbitrarily get involved in the disputes of those big forces."
Lei Luo nodded slowly.
"Why."
Ripple knew that Lei Luo had his own plans in mind.
"In short, you have to think carefully. Although joining the prince's dispute will give you more opportunities, the consequences of failure, even your mentor, cannot bear it."
After speaking, Lianyi closed the door, turned and left.
Lei Luo opened the letter from Prince Chen.
"My sincere friend, respected Mr. Lei Luo, I have encountered a trouble, only you can help me solve this trouble, I have no choice but to hope that our friendship can get your help, tomorrow night Nine o'clock, private room 3002 of Night Tavern, this gift is my sincerity."
Burning the envelope casually, Lei Luo opened the wooden box beside him.
"Um?"
Lei Luo stared at the milky white light spots that were dissipated by the dove eggs, and murmured in a daze, "Moonstone!!"
Take a deep breath.
Mrs. Lianyi's advice just now, Lei Luo, who had no intention of interacting with Prince Chen, couldn't help being shaken because of this moonstone.
After picking up the moon crystal several times and putting it down again, Lei Luo hesitated.
…
the second night.
patter...
The sky began to drizzle, Lei Luo put on the x-mask, his body was shrouded in a layer of black mist, he quietly blended into the darkness, and walked towards somewhere in the academy.
Room 3002 of Yese Hotel.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door, and Prince Chen, who was waiting anxiously, raised his eyes. The old servant opened the door, and Lei Luo, who was wearing an X mask and covered in a layer of black smoke, hurried into the room and looked at Prince Chen.
"Even in the academy, my safety cannot be guaranteed, so I can only meet you in this way."
The rain soaked his clothes, and Lei Luo took off his coat.
"It is already an honor for you to come here."
Prince Chen actually put his luxurious animal fur coat on Lei Luo.
"To be honest, I'm not sure whether your Excellency will go to the appointment. I think you should know my current situation, right?"
"Eh? Actually, I don't know very well."
Lei Luo shook his head and said helplessly, "I seldom participate in noble disputes, let alone understand His Highness's situation. His Highness wrote in a letter that he was in trouble and needed my help?"
After being stunned for a short time, Prince Chen recovered instantly.
"Yes, I want to borrow something from your Excellency."
"what?"
"The corpse of my cousin Prince Ling!"
Well
Seeing Lei Luo's bewildered expression, Prince Chen took a deep breath and sighed: "After all, he is my cousin. Even if he dies, he should maintain the dignity he deserves. I have already made a request to my father, hoping that my cousin will be able to give his cousin back to him." My brother was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and my father agreed to my request."
Even a guy as far away from politics as Lei Luo can hear the deep meaning of Prince Chen's words.
Obviously, Prince Chen wanted to use this cousin's corpse to make some fuss and reach a compromise with His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty agreed.
The reason why this Prince Chen is in a rather embarrassing situation in the Principality is because of his mother's status as Princess Xilan.
If he was a duke heir, his mother's status as Princess of Zealand would undoubtedly bring him huge political benefits, but unfortunately, he is a prince, a man who may take over the country.
Everyone will have doubts in their hearts.
No one knows if His Majesty the prince will be unable to guarantee the traditional interests of the Principality because of his matrilineal blood after becoming the Emperor of the Principality in the future
He was, after all, half Zealander.
Thinking about such doubts, His Majesty the Emperor is no exception.
Now that he has this doubt, the Principality has no shortage of princes, both the eldest prince and the second prince have their own distinctive political views, so there is no need to worry about such a prince.
Prince Chen looked at Lei Luo sincerely.
"I know that your Excellency needs moon crystals, but this magic material is extremely rare. Even if I try my best, I can only get this piece, but I know a family of mystic scholars who have the source of this magic material. , as long as you can bury my cousin's body for me, besides this moonstone, I would like to recommend it to you!"
A family of mystic scholars
As far as Lei Luo knows, there are probably less than ten moonstone veins in the major human duchies.
Most of them are the same as the ore veins in the space node of the scar of the moon, and only a few pieces can be produced each year.
Could it be that this mysterious family controls such a mine vein
"Please rest assured that Prince Ling is His Highness's cousin. I have always carefully preserved his body. Even if Prince Ling is dead, he should indeed be buried decently. Handing it over to His Highness is the best choice."
Lei Luo didn't say much, and directly took out the embalmed Prince Ling's body from the interspatial ring, and even the neck was stitched up finely.
"Cousin!"
When Prince Chen saw the corpse, he immediately cried out in grief. .
"At the beginning I said I would protect you, but you..."
"My condolences, Your Highness."
Lei Luo comforted him in embarrassment, and he also knew that this was Prince Chen's impromptu play, but he had to cooperate with the impromptu play, and staged some hypocrisy of the aristocratic class.
After a long time.
The scene was enough, so Prince Chen put away the corpse and concealed the sadness on his face.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Lei Luo, for your fulfillment!"
Prince Chen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lei Luo.
"In the Principality of Moersey, there is a family of freelance scholars who have been exploring and developing the ruins of Gulan all over the star screen all year round, and often get moonstones from them and sell them to the major temples. This family hopes to establish their own Academy of Natural Sciences in the Principality of Morsey , but the huge amount of money is simply not something this pocket principality can bear, so I lobbied many forces, hoping to get support, I have donated some in my own name, and signed a private covenant with this family."
A family of archaeologists
"good."
Lei Luo took the letter of introduction.
Just about to say goodbye and leave, Prince Chen suddenly said: "Your Excellency Lei Luo, thank you for helping me again, how can I get your loyalty and support?"
With earnest and longing eyes, Prince Chen looked directly at Lei Luo, he already knew another identity of Lei Luo.
The secret weapon of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences, the eye of the sun!
"What does Your Highness think of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom?"
Lei Luo suddenly asked a nonsensical question.
Prince Chen's eyes were fixed, and he was silent for a while.
Lei Luo smiled and said: "Your Highness, you know that I am just a student at school, so don't talk about loyalty and support. If Your Highness wants to get the support of my mentor, you should go to my mentor. I just An enlightened student, a humble scholar hungry for power."
Nodding silently to the old man beside him, Lei Luo left the room.
"What does he want?"
Prince Chen took a deep breath, seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking the old man.
"It should be His Highness's attitude towards the Temple of Wisdom. This Mr. Lei Luo seems to be a staunch atheist."
"No."
But Prince Chen said deeply: "No, what he is referring to should not be the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, all gods are unreliable..."
obviously.
Although Prince Chen had completed the task of the Temple of Wisdom, he did not receive the support of the Temple of Wisdom. He said that he did not receive enough support. In the end, he had no choice but to cast his eyes on the man who he feared and respected again. his father.
Use Prince Ling's body in exchange for his equal opportunity to compete.
Just an equal playing opportunity in front of his father.
