This trip to the sunset volcano, except for a heart-shattering selfie, has nothing to gain.
Thinking of the homeless Xijin wandering in an unknown corner of the imperial capital, Naren felt a headache and a little bit of a headache.
As an "accomplice" who was forced to bind with Xi Jin, he didn't even know the whereabouts of his little friend. Instead, it was Sells who could monitor the other party's location at any time.
He returned home full of worries, and then received news from another little friend, Elida.
"Naron, the person who brought Searles before asked me to pay him the final payment. I have something to do here and I can't leave, please help me! He wants cash."
Naren: "...who?"
Elida: "It's Xi Jin... is he really a bug star?"
Nalen said quickly, "How did you find him before?"
Elida: "I went to the black street. There are many homeless people there, and he is the best looking."
Nalen: "Good looking?"
Elida: "Yes, the one-night affair between the down-and-out boy and the marshal of the empire. The boy left alone the next day because he felt that he was not good enough for each other... Is it touching?"
One, point, son, all, no.
"Xi Jin worked very hard. Before going, he memorized countless manuscripts, but a stubble man appeared out of nowhere and stepped in, disrupting the original plot."
Nalen, who was lying on the ground suddenly: "...hehe."
Elida was still very concerned about Xi Jin's identity, and asked again: "Is he really a bug?"
Naren sneered again and again: "Didn't you read the news? The giant worm attacked people, he is the worm."
Elida hesitated for a while: "I'm going to the neighboring city now. I can't come out to see him."
Naren: "What are you doing in the next city?"
Elida was stunned for a moment, and after talking for a long time, Naren finally understood the general idea.
In just a few days, when he dealt with Sells, Elida was also in dire straits.
The infatuated elementary school boy stops in front of Ailida's house every day, crying silently. This moved the earl, who had to go out once a day, and took his irresponsible son to give an explanation.
So, Elida bit the bullet and asked his junior to come out.
"When I woke up, I realized that I was no longer in the imperial capital."
Naren: "..."
Alida's tone was full of vicissitudes: "I'm so tired."
Naryn said a few words of comfort and encouraged his friend to be strong.
Alida: "I feel like I'm about to suffer from kidney deficiency."
The words of comfort stopped abruptly.
Elida was struggling: "I like women, but he tempts me every day, I am in pain, should I be responsible for him, no, I..."
Nalen interrupted him blankly, and brought the topic back to the beginning: "Where did you make an appointment with Xi Jin?"
Ailida's emotions have not been subdued yet, and she said sadly: "Your home."
Naren was silent.
Before Prince Shalvie broke out, Elida added in time: "Didn't you buy a house in the suburbs a few years ago, and then it was haunted and abandoned. There is no one around, so you will definitely not be found, right A total of 50,000 Abis, I... "
Naren: "Okay, without further ado, I'll pay."
He must have been stupid, so he urged Alida to deal with Sayers.
Although Xi Jin already knew that he was the bearded man, but more insiders did not know. He didn't know the gap between Prince Chalvet and the Marshal of the Empire, and he didn't know why Naren disguised himself as a bearded man.
Nor did Naren intend to expose too much.
Therefore, he is the business of Xi Jin's employer, and it is best not to be discovered.
There was a hint of deep thought in the gray-green eyes. Xijin was a gold eater and was very sensitive to the smell of metal. How should he cover up the ring breath on his body
The point is, since Sells has already grasped Xi Jin's whereabouts, nine times out of ten he arranged for someone to follow him.
Thinking of this, he took out his palm-sized communicator and tentatively sent a message.
[Smile.jpg]
Sells responded quickly.
[Good boy, change the way you smile next time.]
[Where is Xi Jin? I suspect you were bluffing me last time, I need to verify.]
[You guys are separated, he is alone now.]
[What about the picture?]
[Figure.jpg]
Made is taking a selfie again!
[I want to see Xijin to see if the micro-matter positioning is true or not.]
After a while, Sells sent another picture.
Nalen's conditioned reflex became tense, fearing that it would be another high-definition uncensored selfie. As a result, I opened it and saw the Xijin homeless worm with a rough fate.
The shooting angle is at the right rear, and the shooting location cannot be seen from the background.
Xijin sat on the ground, quietly lifting the metal manhole cover, seemingly very hungry.
Facts are in sight, Sells did send someone to follow Hijin.
[Two hours after a meal, the medicated bath has the best effect.]
[Goodbye.jpg]
At this time, a notification came from outside: "My lord, Your Majesty has summoned you."
Naren froze, thinking he was still on vacation.
Even so, he dressed up quickly and sprayed a lot of perfume—first he was smelled of metal by the gold-eaters, and then he was smelled of aga grass by Seles. He was really afraid of these sensitive creatures.
So when Nalen appeared in the emperor's bedroom, His Majesty the Emperor sneezed three times in a row.
"What's the smell?" He waved his hand with an unbearable look.
Naren: "..." He also wants to be a colorless and odorless person quietly, really.
After saluting calmly, Naryn asked the reason for the summoning.
His Majesty the Emperor covered his nose and went straight to the point: "The hunting festival is coming soon, and I plan to leave the preparations for the hunting ground to you."
Nalen's face changed slightly.
Chapter 24 [Hunting Festival] The only remaining traditional festival of the Asha people after entering the interstellar civilization.
As the only remaining traditional festival of the Yasha people after entering the interstellar civilization, the Hunting Festival can be regarded as a national event. Although the way of celebration is far from ancient times, the spiritual significance is still there.
The festival is held once every three years, and each time lasts for seven days. There will be large-scale events and ceremonies in the first few days, and the royal hunt is the first stop to kick off the festival.
Unlike the game of "ancient ancestors hunted prey and won glory by the number of prey", it is not a real hunting, but a game competition between "hunter team" and "prey team". No matter which team it is, the participants are usually imperial nobles and celebrities, and there will be many micro-cameras on the day to broadcast live on the whole network.
This is also a means for the royal family to get close to the people. His Majesty the Emperor would have a headache every three years on how to maintain a tall image in front of the entire empire, and this time was no exception.
"Remember to adjust the angle of the camera on the host stage to ensure the shooting effect. You can ask Sells about security protection. The guards of the hunting grounds in previous years were selected from him."
Naren: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor: "Huh?"
Naren: "I remember that this matter has always been taken care of by someone else, why did you find me all of a sudden?"
The emperor sighed: "Cornell went back to his hometown for vacation. Now there is a lack of a person in charge to coordinate the management progress. Everyone below the specific process is familiar with it. It is not difficult."
Naren: "..."
The emperor squinted: "You don't want to?"
Nalen said sincerely: "Of course I am willing to serve His Majesty." He paused and continued: "In addition to preparing for the celebration, I am willing to do other things. I heard that the scepter disappeared not long ago, and Sells was in charge of the investigation. After so many days, do you have any idea?"
The emperor said: "I just summoned him to report the progress today. If you are interested, you can stay and listen together."
Naren said: "The royal hunting ceremony needs to be announced by you holding the scepter. If the scepter cannot be retrieved before the hunting festival, then the practice that has lasted for thousands of years may need to be adjusted."
emperor:"… "
A trace of worry flashed in the gray-green eyes: "I hope the majesty of the royal family will not be damaged. The scepter was taken away by the Zerg. It is really not something worth publicizing."
The emperor's eyes showed a bit of deep thought.
Not long after, the figure of Sells appeared in the hall. The Marshal of the Empire was dressed in a dark military uniform with a stern face, standing beside Nalen like a perfect statue.
Sells didn't show any strange emotions about the fact that he was there, he nodded slightly as a greeting to him.
Nalen: "..." What should I do with those two high-definition selfies that popped up in my mind
Fortunately, the real Seers looked very restrained, far from the one in the communicator, which made Naren secretly heave a sigh of relief. He said: "Your Majesty entrusted me with the preparations for the hunting grounds. We may meet more often in the future."
Says Sells, "Then we'll have more chances to have dinner together."
His Majesty the Emperor was very curious: "You want to have dinner together?"
Sells nodded.
The emperor: "..." He very much suspected that this was a secret word between the two, and the real meaning would not be so harmonious, friendly, active and healthy.
Next, Sells reported the progress of the scepter case to His Majesty the Emperor.
Naren stood aside the whole time, listening indifferently.
When I heard Sells say: "I have grasped the whereabouts of the gold-eating insects. He seems to be looking for a way. He should have made an appointment with his accomplices."
An ominous premonition spread from the bottom of my heart.
Naren seemed to see another huge hurdle ahead, waiting for him to cross it.
His Majesty the Emperor slapped the table, and there was a "Peng", which shook someone's heart.
"We must catch them all and let them hand over the scepter."
Sells said lightly: "He looks very timid. Interrogating him after he is caught should be able to make him spit out everything he knows."
Naren's heart sank. How long have you been observing and tracking? Even the characteristics of timidity have been excavated.
Although Hee Jin looked perfectly harmless, he wasn't entirely sure that the other party would keep his secret. Similarly, he was not fully sure that he would be able to escape smoothly.
"... Just drop by, have a meal together?" Unknowingly, after Sells reported the general progress, he immediately invited the people around him for dinner.
Naren was silent.
Also silent was His Majesty the Emperor, who sat down with a serious face, as if he planned to watch the battle quietly.
Sells added, "I drove here today."
Naren didn't think for too long: "Okay, let's go." In any case, escaping is not the solution to the problem. Only by facing difficulties and knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win in the subsequent confrontation.
emperor:"… "
Watched by a certain complicated line of sight, the two left hand in hand.
After arriving at the parking garage, Sells opened the door next to the driver's seat, and graciously gave up the right to drive the car.
Naren didn't drive right away, but took out the terminal and started searching for nearby delicacies. Finally he settled on a restaurant and asked Sells for his opinion.
"Listen to you."
The voice came from next to his ear, and Nalen turned his head abruptly, and found that Sells was very close to him at some point, and seemed to be leaning over to see the store recommendation.
Taking the opportunity of setting up the vehicle, Naren quickly opened up the distance.
The car trembled for a while, and flew out like an arrow flying off the string.
The taste of the dishes is satisfactory, and everything is good except for the person who eats.
After drinking and eating, Naren asked casually, "How do you plan to arrest the Zerg people?"
Sells: "I'm more interested in his companions than in that bug."
Naren: "Companion?"
Sells reached out and clicked on his personal terminal, and called up a picture: "That's him."
A stubble-faced man with greasy long curly hair appeared in Nalen's sight.
Sells said: "This is a picture that circulated from a live broadcast platform, and I think it was well shot."
Naren: "... Indeed, very clear."
Sells retracted the terminal, and the two began to chat about the defense arrangement of the hunting ground, and then the topic turned to the hunting festival.
"Will you be in the game hunt this year?"
Nalen looked at him suspiciously. He didn't seem to understand why he suddenly asked this question, but he still replied: "I missed the previous sessions because of temporary events. I should try this time. After all, it looks very interesting."
Speaking of which, that guy Alida clamored to sign up for the hunting festival several months ago, and he didn't know if he would be able to come back this time.
