The dynasty's team was decided, and a team of seven Beyond Grade As was an extremely powerful force. The number of Beyond Grade As exceeded the expectations of both Han Xiao and the dynasty. In the end, the dynasty agreed to the name list of the team and began gathering their fleet.
However, before dealing with EsGod, they had to fulfill the Ethereal deal.
The Arcane Church's team was still on the way. During this time, Han Xiao was on standby on Planet Crimson Ring, so he accompanied Nero and the others to tour the dynasty's mother planet.
Planet Crimson Ring was extremely large and had many floating cities. It was extremely prosperous and had many famous landmarks in the universe. Planet Crimson Ring was also the birthplace of the Red Empire's civilization, and there were many ruins that had been preserved from ancient times. It had a strong historical aura and was extremely valuable for archaeology and tourism.
Under the guidance of the guide, Han Xiao and the others toured many scenic spots.
In his previous life, Han Xiao belonged to the dynasty's faction, so he had naturally toured the dynasty's mother planet and was familiar with the situation there. Thus, he was not too curious and mainly accompanied Nero and the others to broaden Nero's horizons.
Planet Crimson Ring had plenty of mission resources, but their value was not high for the current Han Xiao. Furthermore, his identity was different now, and every Beyond Grade A who stayed on the mother planet would be monitored by the dynasty's people. It was impossible for him to run errands for the citizens for no reason.
Most importantly, this era was different from his previous life, and many of the people who gave out those familiar missions had not appeared yet.
On this day, they came to visit the dynasty's Holy Palace Museum.
This museum was the largest and most authoritative ancient museum in the Crimson Dynasty, preserving almost every historical relic and artifact from the Crimson Dynasty. It was one of the three Universal Civilizations' official museums along with the Federation of Light's Star Museum and the Arcane Church's God's Blessing Temple. It was one of the landmarks of Planet Crimson Ring.
The Holy Palace Museum was an extremely large park, containing dozens of pavilions. The buildings were of different styles, representing the dynasty's different eras. It was extremely grand.
The advantage of having a dynasty official guide beside them was that they did not need to line up or buy tickets. Han Xiao led Fu Ding, Reynold, and Nero past the long line and entered the museum through the special passage.
His special privilege attracted attention. The tourists in the queue all looked over and whispered among themselves.
"That seems to be Black Star from the Shattered Star Ring. I've seen him on the news."
"I didn't expect to meet such a big shot. How lucky."
"Quick, quick, take a picture."
These tourists were all excited and took out their devices to take pictures. A Beyond Grade A Super was someone who held the authority of the universe. Their status was completely different from ordinary galactic residents. Meeting Han Xiao by coincidence was like meeting a celebrity on the streets.
These tourists were of different races and came from different civilizations. The Psionic Seal Ring was to protect the safety of the mother planet, but it was not to completely seal off the mother planet. At least, this would not be done in the era of interstellar openness. It was just that visitors had to undergo strict checks, and the visa period was very short.
Every year, a large number of tourists would come to Planet Crimson Ring, boosting the local tourism industry. What the Empire cared about was not this small amount of money, but rather the influence of the Empire's culture through tourism.
Han Xiao and his group walked into the museum and entered the main exhibition hall under the guidance of the guide.
Different from the noise outside, the interior of the exhibition hall was extremely quiet. The atmosphere was solemn, and the ceiling was high. Looking up, the murals were like the canopy of the sky.
The main exhibition hall was a place where the history of the Red Empire was told. Everyone listened to the guide's explanation and looked at the artifacts one by one. These artifacts included daily necessities, art artifacts, and obsolete ancient tools from various periods. The virtual screen at the side showed the origins of the artifacts and their history.
Nero was filled with curiosity about the history of the Empire. After carefully reading the introduction of every artifact, Fu Ding followed behind Nero. He was also very interested and was influenced by the culture of the Empire. Reynold's attention was mainly on the various ancient machines. These technologies were extremely outdated to the current standards, but Reynold's interest in them was greater than the other artifacts.
Han Xiao walked the fastest and came to the bottom of the ten huge black stone tablets. These ten tablets were so tall that they almost touched the ceiling of the exhibition hall. The history of the Red Empire was recorded on them from the beginning to the present. The development of the Red Empire was not smooth sailing.
Basically, all civilizations started from the beginning and went from primitive to interstellar. The Red Empire also had a period of weakness. Throughout history, the Empire's development had gone through many eras. It had also gone through technological advancements, social changes, internal and external wars, and various crises brought about by ideological reforms.
The advancement of genetic technology had brought about the biochemical crisis, the advancement of machinery and artificial intelligence had brought about the crisis of intelligence, and the drastic changes in the mother planet's environment brought about by the heavy machinery era … With the advancement of technology, the civilization had encountered countless forks in the road.
There were also the ancient universe level disasters that were comparable to the main storyline of the various versions, such as the World Exterminating Insect Swarm, the Universe Organic Extinction Virus, the Void Riot, the exploration era war, and so on. There were countless crises of various sizes, and the civilization's history was fraught with disasters. In the end, the Red Empire's iron-blooded style was formed.
From a small and weak civilization to one of the overlords of the universe, there had been too many ups and downs during this period. Standing under these ten stone tablets, one could feel the history of a civilization that had stood for countless years. The feeling of time and weight of history seemed to hit one in the face.
In front of the history of the entire civilization, an individual was incomparably small.
Han Xiao was looking at the stone tablets in a daze when an old voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"No matter when I see these stone tablets, I will always feel shocked."
Han Xiao turned around and saw an old man wearing the uniform of a museum staff standing beside him. He looked kind, with a straight back and a straight posture. He seemed to have the demeanor of a soldier.
"That's right. Every civilization that has reached the Universal level has a heritage worthy of respect," Han Xiao added.
The old man nodded, turned around to face Han Xiao, and smiled. "Let me introduce myself. I am the Deputy Director of the Saint Palace Museum, Carl Fleur Weshandi. Hello, Your Excellency Black Star."
"Hello." Han Xiao also nodded in a friendly manner, but in his heart, he muttered, "Hello."
Carl Fleur Weshandi? This name sounds a little familiar …
Generally speaking, the names that he was familiar with were all famous people in his previous life. Han Xiao did not dawdle. He searched through the memory palace while talking to this Deputy Director.
Carl was a rather talkative old man. He did not care much about Han Xiao's identity and communicated with him with an equal attitude.
"I have always been interested in the history of the Empire. I have been guarding the museum for many years. I like to maintain the cultural relics here, and I always have different feelings," Carl said as he touched the stone tablet.
Han Xiao glanced at the 'Do Not Touch' sign under the stone tablet and decided to selectively ignore the Deputy Director's illegal actions.
"Deputy Director Carl, you used to be a soldier?"
"That's right. When I was young, I served in the Seventh Reconnaissance Legion of the Empire and personally participated in twenty-three battles. Later on, I became the Chief of Staff of Remote Command, and finally a civilian job. After serving in the military for more than half of my life, I applied for retirement and became the Deputy Director of the Saint Palace Museum," Carl said honestly.
Instead of saying that he was explaining his background to Han Xiao, it was more like he was talking to himself, lost in his memories.
Hearing this, Han Xiao had a flash of inspiration. He finally found the corresponding identity in the memory palace and secretly took a deep breath.
He remembered who this guy was!
To be precise, this retired officer in front of him was not a famous NPC, but his descendants were famous throughout the universe.
The suffix of Carl's surname was' Fleur Weshandi ', and in Han Xiao's memory, the future head of the Red Empire also had this surname!
The future head of the Red Empire might very well be this old man's descendant!
They had really bumped into a big fish this time!
Han Xiao silently turned his head and glanced in the direction of Fu Ding and Nero before retracting his gaze.
How terrifying …
The Goddess of Luck did not just lift up her skirt, she even took off her underwear!
Of course, according to the time, the future head of the Red Empire had not been born yet. However, since they had bumped into his ancestor, there was still value in getting to know him … and the value might even be higher.
Han Xiao smiled and said, "I haven't joined the Dynasty for long, and I'm also very curious about the history of the Dynasty. I wonder if you're interested in introducing it to me?"
"It's my honor to explain the history of the Dynasty to a Beyond Grade A ally." Carl laughed heartily.
As a retired soldier of the older generation, he was very willing to tell others about the history of the Red Empire. This was also something he loved.
For the rest of the day, Carl snatched the job of the tour guide and accompanied Han Xiao and the others to visit a portion of the exhibition hall.
Han Xiao intentionally tried to befriend Carl, and the two of them chatted happily. When they left, they agreed to continue the next day.
For the next two days, Han Xiao followed Carl around the Saint Palace Museum. On the night of the second day, they finally finished visiting all the exhibition halls, and the two of them became much more familiar with each other.
Han Xiao took the initiative to invite Carl's family out for a meal, but Carl did not agree. Instead, he invited Han Xiao to be a guest at his house, saying that he would personally show off his culinary skills to Han Xiao and the others.
On the day of the appointment, Han Xiao and the others set off toward Carl's residence.
As a retired high-ranking military officer, Carl was given preferential treatment by the government to stay in the living quarters of retired officials. He had a small villa on the dynasty's mother planet, which was not far from Tarunamir Palace, so it was very convenient to walk there.
After passing through the sentry post, Han Xiao and the others arrived in front of the villa. Nero tiptoed and knocked on the door, and a rustling sound could be heard from within.
They waited for a while before a middle-aged man opened the door.
"Hello, Your Excellency Black Star, please come in." The middle-aged man had an excited and respectful expression as he hastily invited them in.
This person was Carl's eldest son, a civil servant in the Red Empire. With the protection of his father, his career was rather smooth, and he could be considered to have climbed to the middle ranks. However, in front of Han Xiao, it was clearly not enough.
Knowing that his father had formed a connection with a high and mighty Beyond Grade A ally, his eldest son was extremely excited and had done a lot of homework for the gathering tonight.
Walking into the hall, Carl poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Your Excellency Black Star, please take a seat first. The food still needs some time to prepare."
"It's fine. Take your time. We have plenty of time." Han Xiao waved his hands.
The few of them sat on the sofa in the hall. His eldest son accompanied him by the side, and there were two other people beside him. One was the second daughter, and the other was the youngest son. The former was an entrepreneur who ran a galactic travel agency, while the latter was a sculptor. This could be considered a rather common configuration in a high-ranking family. Apart from being respectful, there were also some trembling emotions.
Looking at the decorations in the room, Han Xiao saw a picture of a woman hanging on the wall. It should be Carl's wife who had passed away.
Carl had three children. Han Xiao tried to recall, but he could not remember which branch the future Dynasty Ruler belonged to. It was not that he could not remember, but this was too small, and he had never paid attention to it in his previous life. However, based on the occupations of the three of them, there was an eighty percent chance that they were the descendants of his eldest son.
His eldest son wanted to befriend him, and his words were filled with flattery. The other two occasionally chatted with him, but they did not dare to open their mouths.
Han Xiao did not reject his eldest son's friendliness and casually chatted with them for a while. Carl finally carried the dishes out of the kitchen, placed them on the table, and called everyone to the table to eat.
The dishes were all home-cooked dishes of the Crimson Dynasty, and the culinary skills were not bad. Nero ate happily, and his eldest son took over Feidin's job, passionately picking up food for Nero and licking it skillfully. The children at the table were the best tools.
After the meal, the second daughter and youngest son took the initiative to clean up, while the others returned to the living room and sat on the sofa to chat. It could be seen that Carl was very happy today, and he smiled a lot.
"It's still Sir Black Star who has the most face. These three bastards always say that they're busy and don't have time to come back to see me. But as soon as you came, they all came running back. Especially that brat at the side, he's even more enthusiastic than me."
Carl laughed.
"Cough cough." His eldest son felt a little awkward and drank a cup of water to calm himself down.
Han Xiao revealed a smile and turned to his eldest son. "What is your position in the Red Empire?"
His eldest son's eyes lit up and he immediately spoke of his position.
"Oh, it's not bad to be able to sit in this position." Han Xiao rubbed his chin and continued, "If you need any help in the future, you can look for me. Give me your number."
"That's great! Thank you, Your Excellency Black Star!" His eldest son was overjoyed and had a grateful expression on his face.
The reason why he was so passionate was to obtain the protection of Black Star. As an official, his political sense was pretty good. Black Star's position was high, and he was valued by both the Head of State and the military. It was enough to have a positive influence on his career.
Furthermore, with Black Star's age, he could still protect the Red Empire for many years. His position would definitely be higher, and with this connection, his future would be boundless.
Carl did not like his eldest son's actions, and he felt that his relationship with Black Star had become a little complicated. However, he would not stop his eldest son's opportunity and sighed.
"By the way, there's one more thing. I brought gifts for all of you," Han Xiao said with a smile.
"Sigh, there's no need for gifts." Carl waved his hands.
"That won't do. How can I come empty-handed?"
Han Xiao snapped his fingers, and ten compressed orbs flew out and landed on the table.
"These are ten mechanical guards that I personally created. After some modifications, they're equipped with a signal transmitter that notifies me. Press the button when you're in danger, and I'll know that you're in danger. I'll release my Mechanical Force and activate the mechanical guards remotely to protect your personal safety. With the support of my long-range Mechanical Force, the mechanical guards should be able to deal with Calamity Grade dangers."
"Isn't this a little too expensive?" Carl hesitated.
Hearing this, Han Xiao laughed and said playfully, "Haha, I'm a Mechanic."
"Alright, thank you for your kindness." Karl didn't hesitate and put away the ten compressed orbs.
He was already old and did not care about his own safety, but he had to consider the safety of his descendants.
The value of the mechanical guards given to him by a Beyond Grade A Super was too high. Black Star's lifespan was very long, and as long as he was alive, these ten compressed orbs would be passed down as family heirlooms!
After giving out the gifts, the relationship between the two parties became much closer. After chatting for a while, Han Xiao and the others bade farewell and left.
After leaving Carl's villa, Han Xiao's lips curled up.
He had made friends with the ancestor of the future dynasty ruler in advance. If he really became the ancestor of the future dynasty ruler, things would be interesting.
With a small investment, there was a chance of great returns. There was no reason not to make such a deal.
As he thought about it, Han Xiao's hand patted Nero's head.
Nero enjoyed the feeling of being patted, and he tilted his head back to look at Han Xiao.
"You're really my little lucky star." Han Xiao chuckled.
Nero blinked. Although he did not understand what Han Xiao meant, he could tell that Han Xiaoxin was in a good mood. He took the opportunity to ask, "Then, can you reduce my homework?"
"Sure, in your dreams."
Nero shook his head vigorously and shook off Han Xiao's hand. He then placed his bag on his head and did not let Han Xiao pat his head.
…
Han Xiao brought Nero and the others on a tour while earning the favor of Carl's family. After a period of time, the dynasty finally gave him an official order.
The Arcane Church's escort team was about to arrive at the transaction location, and he could set off.
Han Xiao left Nero and the others on the dynasty's mother planet and followed the dynasty's fleet to meet up with the Ethereal escort team to complete the transaction of removing the seal of a Beyond Grade A.
