"Commander, this is a report that we just received from Chaos City."
In a campsite in a valley, a black-robed man quickly strode into the centermost tent, and handed a long bamboo tube with a seal on it to Seuss.
Seuss undid the seal on the bamboo tube, and pulled out the letter within, upon which his brows gradually furrowed.
All of the black-robed men in the tent immediately tensed up, and all of them turned to look at Seuss.
"Pack up and set off for Chaos City tonight." Seuss said with a gloomy expression as a ball of black flame ignited. The letter and bamboo tube were burned to ashes in Seuss's hand.
…
"Have the Cheetahs discovered anything recently?" At the border of the Roth Empire, Sean was looking at a map hanging on the wall in a large military tent.
"We've received some news, Your Highness, but it's all been proven to be false. We still haven't found any traces of Alex," Quin said in a low voice. "However, Bertley, who's been keeping an eye on Louis, hasn't returned with a report this month. I've already sent people to verify it, but we don't know what the reason is for this."
"Louis XVI?" Sean's brows furrowed as he recalled the saber-wielding knight who had followed Alex all those years ago. Bertley had always been extremely loyal to Alex.
Sean turned to Quin, and said, "It's very unlikely that this person saved Alex, but if Bertley has mysteriously disappeared, then we still have to investigate this matter. Situations like this haven't happened often in recent years."
"Yes." Quin nodded in response.
"Did you receive any news from Josh?" Sean asked with a curious look on his face.
"According to the report from our spy in Asura, they most likely haven't found Alex yet, either. Seuss has most likely gone to Chaos City with his men, and this news was only received 10 days ago," Quin replied.
"Interesting. He was able to make the entire continent know where he was back then, and now he's able to make the entire continent not know where he is. Alex's abilities really can't be underestimated." Sean chuckled coldly.
Quin lowered his head even further, and didn't say anything.
"I'm going back to Rodu to celebrate His Majesty's birthday in 15 days. Have you gathered all the things I asked you to find?" Sean's smile faded as he looked at Quine.
"Everything has been prepared. I've already ordered people to keep an eye on the pharmacists and start refining the Longevity Pills," Kane replied. After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Your Highness, there's something I don't understand."
"Speak," Sean said calmly.
"Right now, His Highness' influence in the military is unparalleled. The seven armies of the northern region are all battle-hardened armies, and they're all under His Highness' command. If His Majesty were to abdicate, even if he were to pass the throne to the second prince, the magic casters of the Magus Tower wouldn't be able to defend against the armies of the northern region. When that time comes, His Highness would be the king, so why would he concoct longevity pills for the king now? Furthermore, even now … "Kane looked at Xiao En with a puzzled expression.
"How dare you! Is this something you can discuss? "Sean's expression turned cold as he said in a deep voice.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness!" Quin immediately knelt to the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Remember, as long as the king is on the throne, the Roth Empire belongs to him. No one can take it away from him. All those who tried in the past are dead." Sean looked at Quin with a mocking smile, and said, "Furthermore, as long as the king is still around, he'll still be the one with the greatest influence in the military. Even among the seven armies of the northern region, at least three of them will change sides. Do you think we have a chance of winning this battle?"
Quin lowered his head even further. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"You may leave. Report to me any news about Alex as soon as possible." Sean waved a dismissive hand.
"Yes." Quin rose to his feet, and quickly disappeared from the palace.
"Old man, when are you going to die? Everyone is waiting for you. " Sean murmured to himself as he stood in front of the map of the Roth Empire. His finger slowly moved from the northern region to Rodu, and finally landed on the word "Rodu."
"Josh and those old geezers from the Magus Tower are also waiting. However, Crassus has left the Magus Tower, so the pressure has been halved. If I can get him to stand on my side … perhaps I should send someone to Chaos City."
…
Beef was rich in iron elements, and medium-rare steaks were able to preserve these trace elements very well. As such, Barbara's complexion had completely returned to normal after finishing her steak. There was even a faint blush on her cheeks, and she appeared to be in good spirits.
I can't believe I finished it so quickly! Barbara looked at the empty plate in front of her, and still felt like she hadn't had her fill.
Her aversion to medium-rare beef had completely disappeared in that instant, and she had even developed a good resistance to the smell of blood. She felt that even if she were to see blood again, she wouldn't be so dizzy.
"Are you full?" Meg also happened to put down his cutlery, and asked Barbara.
"I'm full." Barbara nodded. The entire steak had brought her an unparalleled sense of satisfaction, and at the same time, it had provided her with a huge amount of energy. She looked at Meg, and hesitated momentarily before saying, "It was very delicious."
"Then go and get some rest. You still have to go to work on time tomorrow," Meg said with a smile. It was really rare to receive praise from this princess.
"Alright." Barbara stood up, and went straight upstairs.
"Wake up, Ugly Duckling! Wake up! " Amy squatted on the ground, and slapped Ugly Duckling's chubby face with both hands. However, Ugly Duckling still didn't react in the slightest. It was like a drunken cat.
"It's probably drunk. Let's let it wake up naturally tomorrow." Meg took the plates to the kitchen, and washed them in the dishwasher before coming out to look at Amy, who was still trying to wake Ugly Duckling up.
"Alright, then I'll take it to bed," Amy said with a resigned expression. Then, she grabbed Ugly Duckling's tail, and dragged it upstairs.
Meg looked at Ugly Duckling, who was dragged up the stairs with its face on the smooth floor, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. As expected, regardless of whether it was a human or a cat, one had to exercise some restraint when it came to drinking. Otherwise, it would end up in a terrible state.
After taking a bath, he placed Ugly Duckling, which Amy had complained about, on a chair nearby. Meg coaxed Amy to sleep, and then lay down on the bed himself. He opened the ice cream cake experience bag, and entered the test field for the God of Cookery.
Ice cream cake could become an expanded product for ice cream. This world still had the concept of birthdays, so it would be a good market if he could make people develop the habit of eating birthday cakes.
Meg felt that there was no better way to market this market than to present a huge cake to the king of the Roth Empire on his birthday.
Meg felt like his way of thinking was becoming more and more like a businessman.
Not long after Amy and Meg fell asleep, orange light suddenly appeared on Ugly Duckling's body, which was lying on its back on the soft chair.
Its body was like a balloon that had been inflated, and it slowly became rounder and bigger. A pair of white wings sprouted from its back, and they flapped gently. The round orange ball slowly floated up and circled around the room.
Ugly Duckling, whose eyes were still closed, suddenly sneezed. It was like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle, and it rapidly leaked air. It flew around the room, and then plunged into the little bed.
"Meow?"
