"The secret of eternal life?" Emperor Augustine's eyes instantly became sharp: "If I really gain eternal life, I'm afraid many people will be unhappy."

Prime Minister Gabriel didn't know whether he was flattering or flattering the horse this time. He quietly looked at the chamberlain standing behind the emperor, but the chamberlain closed his eyes and did not look at him.

Are the rumors false?

"Your Majesty, under your rule, the empire has ushered in an unprecedented prosperous era. We all sincerely hope that you will be in good health, lead the empire to continue to maintain the momentum of national strength growth, and let all nations bow their heads to congratulate you."

After a conversation, Prime Minister Gabriel felt that the pressure on his body was suddenly reduced a lot. Although Emperor Augustine was old, the power of the emperor had not weakened at all.

"If you can use all these crooked thoughts in political affairs, I will work less and live longer. Grover is relieved of all his duties and staying in Raging Waves City is causing trouble. Let him come to the Imperial Capital... Give him a job in the Empire

The Institute of Extraordinary Species has arranged a job."

After listening to Augustine's words, Gabriel instantly understood that he was just being smart.

Life is eternal...can such things be said on such an occasion?

The image of Augustine the Great is iron-fisted and tough. If he openly pursues eternal life, he will expose his weakness.

At this time, Prime Minister Gabriel wanted to slap himself in the face. He was really confused about the matter in Raging Wave City.

Fortunately, Grover's life was saved.

Meteorite has also been transferred away from Raging Wave City, and his own interests have been stopped in time, so there may be no possibility of a comeback in the future.

Gabriel took the order.

The Imperial Cabinet meeting continues.

Raging Wave City.

Taking advantage of the power brought about by the naval battle on Brilliant Island, Meteor worked day and night to accept surrenders from all parties in the city, making money and being jealous and soft-hearted, resulting in lack of rest and lack of energy.

The Reform Society is also expanding at full capacity. Three members of the parliament have surrendered, and the other two members are in a wait-and-see state without contact with anyone. The Xixisai Palace was full all day long, to the point where even standing tickets were sold out.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

Almost everyone believes that even if Nutao City is not under the direct control of the empire this time, the parliamentary system will exist in name only. From now on, this city will belong to the eldest princess, and only by climbing this big tree can she continue to enjoy the shade.

Luke was somewhat surprised by such an overwhelming victory. If he killed Grover again, he would have completely captured the city of Raging Waves.

A big tree attracts the wind. If you have no power to control you in Raging Wave City, it will only increase the risk of going to the Imperial Capital.

Self-protection measures need to be prepared in advance.

Luke stopped receiving visitors. Anyway, none of the visitors were important at this time, so just let Kylena receive them on his behalf.

He returned to his dormitory and followed the secret passage to the secret room.

The clear sky is already waiting here.

All the mysterious props to be used are ready, and the most eye-catching one is a coffin standing in the middle of the secret room.

Qingkong opened the coffin, and inside was a corpse wearing prison clothes.

The deceased was a young man of the same age as Luke, with an imaginary height and build. He died not long ago, his skin was still bloody, and there were no wounds visible on his body.

Luke stood in front of the coffin, looking at the young corpse in front of him expressionlessly. Qingkong took a recurve knife from the workbench and put it in his hand. Runes were engraved on the knife's surface, and there was a bloody stream.

Shake is a mysterious prop made in advance by Qingkong.

At this moment, the lights in the room were turned off, and a circle of candles arranged around the coffin automatically burned with green flames. The atmosphere in the secret room became depressing, and a faint gray cloud filled the air.

Luke held the knife in his right hand and opened a gash in the palm of his left hand. Blood flowed from the wound. He clenched his hand into a fist, and the blood flowed upward from the tiger's mouth.

The blood flowing upward separated into countless blood lines in the air, and pierced the corpse in the coffin. The blood lines easily penetrated the skin of the corpse and entered the blood vessels that were not yet stiff. The blood vessels bulged against the skin like bulging tendons.

, the corpse's face showed a look of pain.

Luke's blood continued to remain and was continuously injected into the corpse's veins.

Qingkong stood aside and watched, paying attention to Luke's physical condition. When Luke fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss, he stepped forward to hug him, and then placed him on the prepared recliner.

Then they took out the plasma to transfuse Luke's blood, then checked his body functions, and performed a full-body massage to clear the meridians. During this period, he released a recovery magic every ten minutes and administered a tube of recovery potion.

After two hours of resuscitation, Luke finally escaped from danger with the help of the powerful recovery ability of the troll bloodline and Qingkong's treatment.

With Qingkong's support, he sat up from the recliner, then stood up and walked to the front of the coffin.

When he was just dying, he successfully established contact with the corpse through the function of the secret technique, completing the most important step of this secret technique.

The whole body of the corpse in the coffin exudes vitality, just like a sleeping person. If you examine it, you can still feel that its heart is beating at a very slight level, and its blood is flowing driven by mysterious power.

Mysterious prop: scapegoat.

manufacture complete.

When Luke faces a fatal attack, the scapegoat can block the disaster for him. Even if his head is chopped off, the head that falls off belongs to the scapegoat.

This is the life-saving trump card that Luke prepared for himself for this trip to the imperial capital. The difficulty of making a scapegoat is that he must find a corpse that is similar to himself in various appearances, and he needs to transfuse his own blood to a near-death state in order to complete the scapegoat.

Make.

Corpses are not a difficult problem for the chief inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Raging Waves City.

Although it is dangerous to transfuse blood to a near-death state, it can be rescued as long as you are well prepared. However, the body will be weak for a period of time and needs good care to recover.

Now there is a subject for the occult language.

Luke stood facing the coffin again, Qingkong slowly retreated outside the circle of the secret ritual, and placed the auxiliary words needed for the secret language in the correct position one by one.

The green flame of the candle exploded, shooting out a two-meter-high pillar of fire. Under the firelight, the wall of the secret room showed figures twisting in extremely weird postures.

The clear sky outside the ritual circle recited a powerful spell, and a golden sword was pulled out from the void. Then several golden words appeared out of thin air, and they were slapped on her body one by one.

There were splashes of golden light.

A chilling aura erupted from Qingkong's body. The sword energy flew in the golden roar, and the killing force rushed towards the demons and monsters on the wall and disappeared into smoke.

The secret words Luke is about to release will have very serious sequelae, and the resentment of death will take the opportunity to invade the body.

Players are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of trouble.

If you want to avoid being invaded by the sequelae, you must quickly eliminate these negative energies of death that are preparing to invade when the word of secret is turned on.

Using sacred energy can quickly eliminate the negative energy of death, but Qingkong discovered in the study of the ancient Shuojin language that although the energy generated by the ancient Shuojin language is not as good as the sacred energy, stronger domineering is more effective in dealing with this type of negative energy.

good.

Sure enough, this time the ancient shimmering golden language was released, and the sword power was released, and those dirty things were washed away.

At this time, under the irradiation of golden light, there was no longer any sense of oppression in the secret room. An overwhelming momentum emanated from Qingkong in waves, like a Valkyrie guarding Luke.

Luke was also infected by this aura, and his whole body seemed to be full of power. He stared at the body in the coffin and recited the secret words:

Infinite vitality in death.

At this moment, the corpse in the coffin opened its eyes. He had a pair of beautiful blue pupils and looked at Luke with infinite vitality. Then the corpse walked out of the coffin and turned into starlight and disappeared.

Starlight danced around Luke. Luke took out an iron ring and put it on the little finger of his left hand. The starlight instantly penetrated into the iron ring.

The two-meter circle of candlelight surrounding the coffin was instantly extinguished, and all the auxiliary words of the secret technique scattered into ashes and disappeared.

Luke looked at the ring on the little finger of his left hand, and there was a circle of spell runes on it. He looked up again and saw that the body was standing in the coffin again at some point. His eyes were closed tightly, as if he had fallen asleep again.

The occult ritual is over.

The weak Luke's feet weakened, but fortunately Qingkong supported him again.

"Deal with Grover as soon as possible. He doesn't want the position I left for him, so don't let him cause trouble for me anymore."

"I know that when he gathers people together, I will eat them all."

Qingkong gave Luke an intravenous drip, and after confirming that he was fine, left along the river. There were still many things to do at Oulu College, and Grover would come to him at any time.

This hidden danger must be resolved before heading to the imperial capital.

After Luke regained some strength, he left the secret room and returned to the Secret Service. As soon as he sat down, Kylena opened the door and walked in.

"Chief Inspector, this is a letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess. You, why do you look so bad... Are you alive... I'm going to call the doctor."

Just when Kylena turned around to find the doctor, Luke stopped her.

"I'm fine. I'm just tired from being too busy these days. You said there was a letter from the eldest princess to me. Where is the letter?"

Kylena took out a letter from the folder in her hand and put it in Luke's hand. Then she leaned down and observed Luke's expression: "Chief Inspector, I think your condition is very serious. Let the doctor take a look."

.”

"They said it's okay, don't tell anyone what you saw." Luke warned Kylena. He first took out a bottle of potion from the drawer and drank it, then picked up the eldest princess's letter and checked the envelope mark.

After confirming that it is correct, open the envelope.

This time Agatha's letter was more concise. She told Luke that the incident in Raging Waves City had aroused the suspicion of Emperor Augustine. If he did not come to the imperial capital, both of them would be in big trouble.

This is what Luke expected.

It’s only strange that the new nobles in Raging Wave City are so addicted to food. In a situation that everyone can accept, you still want to cause trouble. The important thing is... you have to struggle a little even if you lose, so that I can create an outsider.

The situation seems stable.

As a result, some people squeezed their heads to seek refuge, while others wanted to give it another try and turn their bicycles into motorcycles.

It's not that Luke doesn't want to stop now, it's that he can't.
To be continued...
