Now, let's move forward in time and return to this morning. Move your eyes away from the thorn area and look back at something that has happened.
The hour hand of the clock pointed to 7, the day had just begun, and the main road in the central area was not yet jammed. A silver car drove smoothly along the avenue, heading towards the dragon head under the green traffic lights.
Special glass blocks the outside world's sight, so no one can see the face of the person in the car. If someone with clairvoyance peeks inside, they can see a young man wearing thick-soled glasses in the passenger seat, holding a paper document and reporting something.
"...The person in charge of Fular Laboratory has reached a consensus with us, and there is only one piece of agreement left. The acquisition of Pacatia University is going smoothly and is expected to be completed in the next quarter." The young man in the passenger seat The person turned to the last page of the file, "Finally, there are the movements of other organizations. Members of the Mutual Aid Association and the Wings of Death caused a small commotion in the Thorn District yesterday. The Intelligence Department analyzed it as a common situation when new people enter the city. Commissioner of the Etiquette Department I rushed to contact this newcomer first before everyone else, but the other party’s behavior... was not friendly.”
"Unfriendly?"
The bespectacled young man looked at his subordinate's report and decided to tell the truth.
"Falta and Jess were knocked unconscious instantly after they started negotiating. Kerry relied on his ability to survive the first attack, but was beaten until he fainted before he could fight back. Only Rosa was not attacked. We are After analysis, it is believed that this newcomer has a certain degree of... male phobia."
"It's quite appropriate. Don't have any contact with her for the time being."
"Understood, the information will be sorted out for you later."
The bespectacled deputy nodded understandingly. He understood what the leader meant. Knowing that he will show mercy without killing anyone is much better than the average newcomer. According to the leader's habit, he would make time to personally invite such newcomers with "bright futures".
"Finally, Cao Xin from the Mutual Aid Association once again confirmed the plan and arranged it in the afternoon as per your instructions." Deputy Glasses reminded, "He seems rather uneasy about using the Red Lion for trouble."
"He is afraid of Caldesia Spencer." The leader smiled, "Tell him not to worry, the red lion usually doesn't kill people. We just need her anger to create a little fireworks, and we will turn the fireworks into Fireworks filled the sky...let everyone see what a city without a leader would look like."
"Cao Xin still seems to want to win the support of the Red Lion."
"Haha... She would rather support John Garcia than me." The leader said helplessly, "I also have immature moments."
When the glasses deputy heard this, he knew that this was something he should not inquire about, so he said no more. The report was over and the car was quiet for a while.
The leader in the back seat asked.
"How is Mo Yuankai's condition?"
Hearing the name, the bespectacled deputy became nervous. He swallowed and replied, "He...has not left his residence so far."
"Ah."
The leader smiled softly. He seemed to be in a good mood today, but the deputy did not dare to say anything more.
In a few words, they had already entered Cangshou District. Not long after, the silver car stopped in front of a building in the center of Cangshou District. The bespectacled deputy got out of the car first and respectfully opened the back seat door.
….
"We're here, Chief."
Aurus Optimis adjusted his tie in the car, stepped out of the car, and stood in front of the azure blue building. It is built in the remote Longshou, but it is the real center of the city. This is the Longshou International Integrated Office Building, the government affairs processing agency of the Sky City jointly managed by the three countries.
Orus noticed the eyes of the adults. They observed the appearance of the brown-haired boy, and the same words were written in their eyes: This is not a place for high school students.
This makes sense, but it's a pity that this is the capital of the sky.
He walked into the building with a calm look and told the receptionist the time for the appointment. The young man acted calmly as if he was the sect master here. But he was indeed a little nervous, not because of these ignorant people, but because of the goal of this trip...
He is going to see a great
figure.
"Please come in!"
The old man's angry voice came from behind the luxurious door, and Orus stepped into the office on the 55th floor with a smile.
The center of the soft red carpet was embroidered with a golden pattern representing the Union: 44 stars arranged in a circle, and 7 stars surrounding the double-headed eagle in the center. There are huge display cabinets on the left and right sides of the Oval Office. On one side there are heavy eucalyptus volumes and books, and on the other side there are various exquisite toys and treasures.
Behind the desk facing the door, a ruddy-faced old man was sitting casually with a peaceful smile on his face.
The old man wore a luxurious sky-blue robe with rainbow-like bridges embroidered in seven colors; he had fluffy white curly hair and a long silver-white beard, like an old mage in a fairy tale.
Aurus saluted the old man respectfully: "The creator of the puzzle, the Rainbow Wing Lord in charge of the kingdom of heaven, the patriarch of the Hadrian family, Celeste Hadrian. I am Aurus Oti Miss, it's an honor to have the opportunity to meet you."
The old man raised his long eyebrows and said in surprise: "Wow! When did so many people come into this room?"
"It's especially disrespectful to call a great person by his first name. That's the point of red tape. Even if it leaves a bad taste, show respect."
"Hahaha!" The old man smiled heartily, "Little Aurus of the Ultimus family, you were more lively when you were a child than you are now. Sit down quickly - and get me a bottle of wine by the way."
"I am glad to."
Orus put on a lively smile and followed the old man's instructions to walk to the wine cabinet.
"On the floor below, grab a bottle of whiskey." The old man smiled, "It's suitable for refreshing yourself early in the morning."
"80-year-old red-top whiskey." Orus took out the bottle and expressed his heartfelt admiration, "You have great taste."
This bottle of wine was produced 27 years ago from the well-known winery "Red Top" west of Moreton. The winery closed down ten years ago due to poor management. This bottle of wine alone can be worth a house in Superbia, and the old man only uses it as a refreshing drink.
"As for enjoying life...haha! You young people are not even close to me."
The amber liquid is poured into the cup, giving off an intoxicating color under the sunlight. Hong Yiqing rubbed his hands, made a second cup out of thin air, and placed it in front of the visitor's seat.
….
Aurus thanked him and filled himself a glass.
"To... what should I pay tribute to?" Hadrian raised his glass and muttered, "Let's pay tribute to your father. To Gaius Optimis for successfully being re-elected as Vice President!"
"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank you for your wishes."
Aurus clinked glasses with the old man and drank the amber spirit in one gulp. The high degree of alcohol made him feel as if he had swallowed a ball of fire. The fire burned from his throat to his stomach, almost giving him the urge to shout.
Orus controlled his expression and calmly put down his glass.
"Good wine."
"This is good stuff."
Hadrian crossed his arms and leaned back, sinking into the soft chair. He stroked his beard and said, "By the way, your father's choice was very unexpected. Everyone thought Gaius was going to run for president this year."
"Father has never told me about this consideration... It's just a personal guess. I think the time is not yet ripe."
"Who says it's not the case? Two monarch dragons came at once, and one of them was actually killed. The world is in such chaos, everyone is a little bit at a loss."
The old man smoothed his beard and talked about the situation in the world as if he were talking about everyday things.
"Okay, kid." He narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you want to say? You don't have to talk in circles, you can be more straightforward - you know, I am 97 years old this year. For someone who is about to enter three digits, At this age, there is nothing worth caring about in this world. Like every old man, I only have a little personal enjoyment and a little personal pursuit left."
Aurus knew that the highlight was coming.
The old man in front of me talks casually
Inadvertently, but in fact it is not as detached as he described himself. From this city to the distant United States, Hong Yiqing accurately controlled the entire situation, exerting his influence on the United States even though he was thousands of miles away. Once he makes a mistake, all he can get is a glass of expensive wine.
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @
For this reason, this agent who is closer to the Mithril Pillar than the seven major families is particularly dazzling.
"I think this may not be enough, Mr. Hadrian. Because the day of handover is coming soon." Aurus turned to another topic, "The spokesperson of the empire will arrive at the end of this month, whether it is Genzhi-kun. Or General Zhenwu, they would not mind helping the weak Mr. Honorwell. Temporarily lend him the power of the Ceremony Hall, let the impermanent magic of the empire help the agent to stabilize the situation, and let the power of the empire reasonably Go deep into this city.”
No one in the upper echelon of Usters was happy to see this situation. It is the tacit understanding of everyone to take this opportunity to change agents.
At this point when Morton is weak and the empire has not yet arrived, the capital of the sky where Hong Yiqing is sitting is his one-note hall. Without his approval, you can't really start taking action.
….
Hadrian looked untouched by these words as he played with the cup in his hands.
"Uh huh... family interests. Of course, this is a point worth caring about, for you." He emphasized your pronunciation intentionally or unintentionally, "But what about you, little Aurus? What about me? "
Aulus realized that he had said the wrong thing, that he should not have started from a worldly perspective.
From the first words of congratulations to his father, the old man tempted him to think in the direction of a ruler. Hadrian talked with him about his family, politics, luxury goods, and the city's security. He behaved like an old mayor, but his most important identity was an impermanent law envoy!
The Mithril Pillar, the seven major families, and even the entire Usters... these are simply trivial matters to the old man. Hadrian didn't care about family interests. As a creation envoy, he was already detached from the world!
The old man looked at him calmly, his blue eyes hiding the wisdom and sensitivity accumulated over the years. He did not speak in a hurry, but magnanimously gave the junior a last chance.
Don't go around in circles anymore, and don't try to deceive him. All scheming is a ridiculous trick to this old man. Be straightforward, be honest, and don’t let yourself look like a careerist…
He is a junior.
"For me..." Orus took a deep breath, "This is an opportunity to reach higher, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Oh?" Hadrian said enthusiastically, "Little Aurus, you have already stood very high. You have your own organization, you have your own believers, and you have long been able to influence this city."
"This is far from enough. This power cannot allow me to achieve my goal." Aurus became impulsive, "Mr. Hadrian, you understand what kind of talent we have. That is the seed from the origin of the dragon. , even the power bestowed by the Eternal King himself.”
"Just as Emperor Lingyang appeared in the Middle Earth, creating the law of impermanence and the art of returning to heaven, the talented people selected by him controlled the unique power and created the first kingdom in the world. Now new power comes with the Dragon of the Sky Here comes a new generation of talented people born in line with the times! We naturally shoulder the responsibility, and we should use our talents in the whole society to lead mankind in a new direction!"
"The unified containment is a decision that everyone can understand, but the three major countries and the current agents only want temporary stability and give up the use of power. Millions of dragon species gathered in this city, among them Most people are repeating their "student days" like ordinary people, while a small number of people are engaging in violent conflicts in the streets and alleys. Everyone is squandering their talents, everyone!
Aulus stood up unconsciously. The strong drink he had just drank made the young man excited.
He only had this last chance, so he spoke his inner words without any scruples and told his dreams to the old man who was older than him.
"Mr. Hadrian, I cannot tolerate this miserable situation. I cannot tolerate so many young talents squandering their strength in meaningless daily life and weapon fighting! Therefore, I want to take over the leader's scepter. I In order to stop the meaningless internal friction, I want to unite the forces in the city and let the superpowers move in the right direction. This is not the entrustment of the Ultimis family, nor the intention of Ustus, but me, The dream of Aurus Optimis!"
….
He finished, there was nothing more to say.
Aurus lowered his head and waited quietly for the verdict of the World Creation Law Envoy.
"Sit down, kid." Hadrian poured him another glass of wine. "Look how excited you are! Have a glass of wine to calm down."
"Thank you...I apologize for my rudeness, Mr. Hadrian." Aulus sat back on his chair, took the glass, and drank it all. The cold wine made his throat burn.
"Don't worry! You know? You remind me of your father. He was like this when he was young. He spoke very loudly and always thought he was the best in the world... Now he is not so aggressive and is calm in his work. , but I still like the little Gaius from before. Because when he was young, he had dreams in his eyes and dared to do things that others did not dare to do."
Hadrian faced the sun and shook the bottle. He stared at the amber wine with a slight smile in his eyes.
"You will be a good leader...yes...responsible, responsible. But let's get down to business. What about me?"
Orus knew that it was time to reach the final level.
Hadrian, the "Lord of the Rainbow Wings", would personally sit in the Sky Capital just to get the latest information on dragon research as soon as possible and get the knowledge he longed for. If the empire were to take firm control of the Sky Capital, what awaited him would be three or six years that was almost equivalent to a "window period." For a 97-year-old man, six years is too long to wait.
——Can he use this as a bargaining chip?
Impossible. The methods of the World Creation Magus were far beyond his imagination. Hadrian had countless ways to obtain the latest research results. Thus Hadrian took his time, and therefore Hadrian was magnanimous. If he wants to use the biggest bargaining chip, it must be something Hadrian cares about and something he can give. The chips must be heavy, valuable, and timely, capable of tipping the balance of interests in an instant!
He thought about it.
"In the process of changing agents, we will inevitably have some frictions... small frictions that have nothing to do with the official." Orus said slowly, "A certain psychically armed seal carrier was very involved in the process. It may fall into an unstable state. If the carrier loses its will due to an accident, we may have to pray for your help to stabilize the state of the weapon."
"Oh, today's young people!" Hadrian shook his head and said, "Why do you always talk in roundabout ways?"
Aurus said simply: "I can give you the Final Sword."
"oh……"
The old man stood up from his chair, his usual peace gone. He didn't look like an old man anymore. His face was full of vitality that a young man couldn't match. His surging curiosity and desire for knowledge took over his eyes, making the old man look as greedy as an adventurer for a while, and then revealed his... It reflects the unique knowledge of the researcher.
"A precious research material, this is very attractive to me!"
Aulus then stood up, his face solemn.
"This city has never had the position of agent, so the official will not interfere in your actions. But I guess... the agent you describe must be recognized by all forces. All, understand? Including schools and laboratories, including super Capability organizations, and the people behind them.”
….
"I see."
"The agreed time is at the end of the month, and you have less than two weeks left." Hardman glanced at the calendar and said ambiguously, "There isn't much time!"
"I will arrange the progress." The brown-haired boy bowed deeply, "Thank you for your trust."
Hadrian closed his hands and sat back in the chair, with a kind smile on his face again.
"Don't be too nervous, little Aurus. I'll give you a personal suggestion. The people from the empire won't arrive until the end of the month, but I guess the advance scouts are already on their way."
"What do you mean?" Orus asked cooperatively.
"The one whom Emperor Yongguang trusts the most is the Qin family. This tradition started two thousand years ago and has never changed today." Hadrian raised the bottle, "Remember, be someone that everyone can trust!"
The old man threw the bottle over, and Orus caught the remaining half of the bottle with both hands.
"thank you."
"Take it with you and share it with your friends, hahaha!"
Orus bid farewell to the Envoy of Creation and walked on the corridor on the 55th floor. He knew there was one more thing he had to do. After the negotiation with Honore Snoke was over, it was time to find Qin's spies.
At the same time, a plane landed at Cangshou International Airport.
Among the tourists who came for sightseeing and the parents who came to see their children, there were a few strong black-haired men with sharp eyes. The leader of the group was a young man with sharp eyebrows and handsome features. He was wearing long-sleeved black clothes and army green jeans, with a belt tied around his waist. The hem of the clothes reached to his ankles and was blown up by the wind, making it look like a cloak.
"Young man, you have such a good physique." The tourist man, carrying a big bag on his shoulders, stood beside the leading young man and asked, "Are you here for sightseeing?"
"My relatives come here to go to school. I just happen to have some free time in the summer to come and take a look." The leader replied with a smile, "Your bag is heavy enough. Can I help you carry it?"
"Hey, no need! It's all clothes!"
"That's too polite." The young man said kindly, "How can a bag full of special bullets be so light?"
The bald man behind the young man raised his hand and knocked, and the old man passed out before his expression could change. The leader showed his ID to the airport staff, whispered a few words, and led the people off the plane first, leaving the staff to conduct an explosion-proof inspection.
"Brother An, we took care of everything when we first came down. All those involved in smuggling contraband were knocked unconscious." The bald man said, "What should we do next?"
"Let's take a look at Xiaoqian's condition first. The dragon species is too dangerous when it first awakens, so don't stab Xu."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Qin An sighed: "Oh! What a good kid I used to be, but he was forced to be like this by his family all his life."
"It's all Qin Ming's fault!" the strong man said angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense, what does this have to do with Qin Ming!" Qin An glared at his younger brother, "Let's go, grasp the situation first. Remember, the current situation is special, so don't use special means."
"You don't have to use any means. How can you find someone with just a few talismans?" The bald man put on a pair of small sunglasses and said with a smile, "Let's call the Ceremony Hall."
As a result, visitors from the imperial capital Qin Clan arrived in the Cang Qiong Capital, looking for traces of girls from the Qi clan.
Time returns to the present.
It's half past twelve noon. Aurus Optimis had just had an unpleasant negotiation with Onower Slock, the president of the Central United University. He planned to cause an incident with someone from the mutual aid association in the afternoon, and made advance contact with the Qin family who might arrive in the imperial capital.
Gushou gave up chasing Mo Yuankai. Badman is leading his men to find missing members of the organization, or to kill their murderers.
Caldesia listened to the doctor's advice. She found out that there was an activity organized by the mutual aid association in the central area in the afternoon, and planned to find Gongsun Ce to join in to relax.
Qin Anzheng is looking for Qin Qianbai with his brothers.
Some members of the mutual aid association are angrily looking for revenge on someone who beat them yesterday. Another group of members of the mutual aid association had bad intentions and were ready to cause trouble.
The president of the mutual aid association did nothing.
The prelude to a great commotion called the "war for agents" is about to begin. At this time, Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai were eating biochemical bayberry together.
The superpowers of Sky City.
