The atmosphere in the study froze.
Julian looked at Allen without blinking.
After a while, Allen nodded his head heavily. Julian's eyes widened, and his face flashed with shock, surprise, relief, and other emotions. Then he heaved a sigh of relief and sat down as if he had lost weight.
"Celestial, you really are a Celestial. So there really is a Celestial!" Julian suddenly laughed.
Allen frowned. He had thought of Julian's reactions, but he didn't expect Julian to be laughing.
After laughing for a while, Julian said, "Only now do I believe in your sincerity." Before that, I was thinking that if you don't want to admit it, then there's no need for us to talk anymore. I sent people to Sur City, and it was completely different from before. My men saw all kinds of strange machines there, as well as iron birds that could fly in the sky. All of this shows that you are a Celestial. "
"Then what does His Majesty plan to do now?"
Julian looked at him and said, "I should ask you this question, Archduke Allen. As a Celestial, what are your plans?"
Allen did not answer directly, but said, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be very shocked by the Celestial."
Julian spread out his hands and said, "It's just because I'm mentally prepared. Who says I'm not shocked? My hands are still shaking."
"In a secret scroll, there is a lot of information about the Celestial Man. Even in our empire, there are some people whose bloodlines are related to the Celestial Man. Of course, only I have the right to read this information when I sit in this position. "
"The first time I saw it, I was really shocked. It turns out that there is another world outside this world."
Julian asked, "Allen, can you tell me why you, the Celestials, have come to our world?"
Allen said, "To be exact, it's to visit your planet. Life lives on planets, and planets exist in the universe. The universe is divided into nine star domains, each of which has countless planets. But not every planet has life, so we explore the universe and explore the planets that have life. "
"Just exploring?"
"Of course not." Allen shook his head and walked to the window of the study. He looked out and said, "Exploration is just a means. In the end, we will obtain resources from the planet."
"Resources?" Julian's face darkened. "So you're here to plunder?"
"Plunder?" Allen smiled and said, "There is no lack of warlike races who would resort to violent invasion to plunder resources from a planet. However, I personally think that our method is relatively gentler. "
"We're just blending into the interior of the planet, gaining power, and finally achieving the goal of gathering resources legally. As you can see, this process will take a lot of time, but the advantage is that there won't be too much conflict with you, "Allen said.
"So you've done it now. You're the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, and all resource extraction in your territory is legal. If I didn't discover your identity. "
Allen smiled and said, "I know what you want to say, Your Majesty. Since I've admitted my identity, I have no intention of starting a war with you. In fact, if I wanted to start a war, the city would have already fallen. I can tell you that I'll leave this planet soon because there are far more important things I need to deal with than gathering resources. But my people will still stay on this planet. I'm standing here talking to you for the sake of their future. "
"Maybe you'll think I'm exaggerating, but everything I say is the truth. Whether it's the army, weapons, or even experts. The Bailey Empire is no match for me. If I want to, I can destroy this country alone. "
"So please believe me. I've shown enough sincerity. And I'm willing to take out some more. For example, I can teach you more advanced weapon technology in exchange for my people's lives now and in the future. "
Julian was silent as he looked at Allen. After a moment, he sighed and said, "I really can't find a reason to refuse. So be it. I'll order all the investigation records about you to be destroyed and forge a perfect background for you."
"You'll find out soon that this is a wise move." Allen nodded. "Now, let's talk about the monster army. They have a name, the Burning Legion. "
“
Burning Legion? "
It was not until the afternoon that Allen returned to the inn. Lucy and the others hurriedly asked about the results. Allen smiled and said, "It went well. I've already reached an agreement with Julian. At least I don't have to worry about my identity being exposed in the future."
Even though he said that, Allen knew that Julian would agree to this agreement more on the basis of his strength. If it had been when he was escorting him out of the Northern Lands, Julian would definitely not have agreed. Instead, he would have even captured him.
But now, it was very different. Although Julian did not understand what a Paragon was, the combat strength that Alan had displayed at this moment far surpassed his father's. For Julian, this was enough. Coupled with the army that had broken the siege of Spear City and the empire's current heavy injuries, Julian would naturally make a rational choice.
As the saying goes, this time and this time, to be able to make Julian make such a choice, Allen's strength and the current situation were indispensable. Of course, Allen wasn't afraid of war, but that wouldn't do him any good. On the contrary, this was the best outcome.
After he left Planet Heaven, those who had already taken root in this country would be able to live well in the future. In this way, he would finally be able to face the people who had accompanied him on his expedition to the sea of stars.
"Come, let's go outside the city to practice our swordsmanship. Let me see if you've improved recently."
Allen said to Lola.
Lola naturally wouldn't refuse. Now that Allen was a Sovereign, if she could get his guidance, she would be able to shorten her time on the path of power and take fewer detours. Lucy was going to find Marquis Mayin. Now that Allen was no longer the son of dusk, she planned to let Mayin go back first while she moved with Allen.
Lucy had already decided that she would never be separated from this man in the future.
While Allen was waiting for the day to set off again, a huge change was happening far west of Bailegan. To the west of the human empire's border was an endless mountain range. There, there was a huge mountain range shrouded in rain and mist all year round. There were some local plants in the mountain range that released hallucinogenic gases. Creatures would experience hallucinations if they inhaled them, making it extremely difficult to get out of the mountain range. Therefore, this mountain range was called the Misty Mountain Range.
