It was the rainy season.
The sky covered in nuclear dust was gray and drizzling. Apart from the powerful Abyssal Walkers who did not have to care about this radioactive rain, the other adventurers were all huddled in their bases or wearing special full-body protective clothing as they searched for prey in the rain.
The nobles were feasting in the warm hall with fireplace. It was not suitable to go out in this season so it was the time of the most banquets.
Dean was sitting in front of the desk in the laboratory behind the palace. He was reading the information in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the long term frown but there were faint wrinkles between his eyebrows.
The pitter-patter of rain fell outside. Occasionally, a bolt of lightning would tear through the sky. It was unknown when he had put down the documents in his hands. He sat in front of the desk, silent as usual, like a cold stone statue.
Ten years had passed but there was no progress in the experiment.
They had searched every corner of the continent in the last ten years. The surveillance network had covered every corner of the continent but they still couldn't find Aisha's figure.
It meant that there was a possibility that she would leave the continent.
There was also the possibility of … dying.
"God is omnipotent. Why can't he reverse time?" Dean frowned deeply. In the past ten years, in addition to studying the undead, he had also been studying the mystery of becoming a god. The birth of God Wa was an accident. There was only the result, but no method. He continued to look for the correct method in the experiments of the Demonic Worm and the Aragami, but the progress was equally slow. Even with the cooperation of God Wa, it was still difficult to explore the deepest secrets.
Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Dean already knew who it was. He recovered from his thoughts and frowned: "Come in."
Aurora came in wearing a black skirt. There was a white wavy pattern on the edge of her skirt. She looked at Dean: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to the Congress for a long time. Don't you want to see it?"
"There is nothing to see. Everything is peaceful now. There is a little threat from the sea monsters but it will be solved sooner or later." Dean casually said.
Aurora hesitated for a moment: "Although the outside is peaceful but the inside isn't. You haven't appeared in front of people for a long time. I don't know where Goddess Wa has gone to play recently. I'm worried that something will happen."
"Inside? What's wrong? Did someone provoke you? Or is it your husband? " Dean looked at her. The biggest change in the last ten years was that the people who followed him were now married. Neuss had found his beloved woman in the giant wall. Sergei had a harem of hundreds of women. Most of them were noble ladies with graceful posture and elegant appearance.
His student, Edward, excelled in the field of research and was surrounded by a large group of women.
Barton, Zach, and Macon also had their own places to go.
Aurora had grown from a teenage girl to a young woman in her late twenties. She had even given birth to two children.
Hearing Dean's words, Aurora bit her lips slightly. She was no longer a simple, ignorant, and vengeful girl. After soaking in the power whirlpool of the empire for ten years, even if she didn't like these intrigues, she at least understood it. So after hearing Dean's words, she almost suppressed the words that she wanted to say.
She knew that in the eyes of Dean, she was the same as Sergei. They were all ministers.
Even if they were the closest people to Dean they had to act in accordance with the laws of the country. Otherwise there would be chaos.
"Your majesty …" Aurora felt bitter: "You haven't appeared for a long time. Don't you want to see the development of the dynasty?"
Dean shook his head: "There is nothing to see. I know the general situation. What do you want to say?"
Aurora opened her mouth slightly, and two small and cute faces suddenly flashed across her mind. Her heart twitched slightly, and her eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and said, "It's nothing, Your Majesty. I came to report to you about the Oceanic Beast Research Institute. They have already created a drug that can degenerate the sea beasts. It can be mass-produced for all the sea beasts that have been hunted so far."
"I know." Dean said: "This is a national affair. You can talk about it in the congress. There is no need to tell me."
Aurora bowed: "Yes." Aurora stood for a while as if she was thinking about something. She didn't say anything and slowly left the study room.
Dean took back his eyes and continued to pick up another roll of experimental data. He stopped and muttered to himself: "What is she trying to imply? She wants me to go to the congress? Is there a problem with the congress? "
He felt strange as he thought of this. Although he hadn't managed the affairs of the dynasty for a long time but he knew most of the things that were happening outside. The country was peaceful and its territory was expanding steadily. The land monsters were completely expelled. The remaining ones were kept in captivity. It was like a zoo in the old era. They had established a special hunting paradise.
In addition to the sea monsters occupying the people's attention, there was basically no major event worthy of his attention.
"She is hesitating. Is she being coerced? Or is it because of Barton and the others that she wants to talk about?" Dean's eyes were full of thoughts. After a moment he called the guard outside to inform his parents that he would attend the congress tomorrow.
Not long after the order was issued, his parents suddenly rushed over to see Dean.
"Son, are you finally willing to give up these experiments and take care of the country?" Mother looked at him with a happy face.
Dean looked at them and thought of Aurora's words. He asked: "Mother, is there anyone who is domineering recently? Has he formed a clique?"
Mother was surprised: "Why do you ask? Did you hear what they said? Forming a party is a big crime. Who would dare to do so? You are the only god in the world and you are under the protection of God Wa. Who would dare to form a party? Isn't it a rebellion?"
Dean nodded: "That's true. I'm afraid that these people are working in the dark. Their purpose is not for the throne but to raise their status and live a better life."
Mother thought for a moment: "It makes sense. Your father and I will investigate this matter."
"How is it? Is there any progress in the experiment?" Father asked.
Dean sighed and shook his head.
"You are doing experiments all day. It is easy to have bottlenecks in your thinking. Tomorrow is the day of prayer. We have prepared a special altar that can eliminate part of the nuclear fallout. Do you want to go and have a look?" Father laughed.
"Yes, go out and relax. You can't always be cooped up. Your sister has prepared a surprise for you." His mother immediately echoed.
Dean looked at them and nodded: "Alright, let's go out." Then he got up and the family of three went out of the study and left the palace.
