Regarding Banat's request, Luke said: "This requires the consent of the owner here."

☆Qingkong said happily: "Of course, Taotie's past and Taotie's present can stay here. I hope that under this moonlight and starry sky, you can create a stronger future."

With ☆Qingkong's consent, Taotie flew up and swallowed the dragon ball in one mouthful, then flapped its wings and flew towards the moon and the stars.

After a while he disappeared.

☆ Qingkong looked at Luke and said with a half-smile: "We just separated just now, and you miss me so soon?"

Luke also looked at Clear Sky: "I wonder how many secrets you have."

"I have many secrets..." ☆ Qingkong appeared behind Luke: "Waiting for you to discover slowly."

As soon as Luke turned around, he saw ☆ Qingkong's figure dissolving in the starry sky.

A cheerful dragon roar came from the moon.

Taotie played a little crazy.

Luke immediately left the starry sky and returned to his own spiritual universe. Without Taotie causing trouble, he quickly entered meditation.

Regarding his overall strength, Luke gave him a four and a half star rating.

The increase given by Greedy Red Dragon Spear can push yourself to the threshold of five stars.

Coupled with Taotie, who has five-star strength, this kind of strength can deal with most emergencies in the secular world.

But facing the five ancient civilizations, it still lacks some firepower.

Before Shuojin and the Angel Mission arrive in Shenglun City, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive strength improvement.

The lava stone demon bloodline has been completely integrated, and its physical enhancement and magic power increase have tended to be stable. The body is now strong enough to withstand the next stage of bloodline improvement, and the remains of the red dragon Neil Colon have finally come into use.

There is also the "Aria of Burning Clouds and Waves". Now that I have completed two injections of medicine, I still have two injections left to obtain the strongest affinity for the fire element.

The materials required for the third injection of reagent have been collected by Ed, and he will refine the potion after completing the bloodline improvement.

Then there are the floating fortresses of the Gods, elemental fusion reactors, Titans... all new technologies and weapons.

The confrontation between civilizations ultimately depends on comprehensive strength.

A night of meditation gave Luke a rough plan for the next chess game.

The next day, a group of officials from Nutao City who served in the palace worked together, and new policies were announced and implemented. For a time, the new atmosphere enveloped the entire Shenglun City. Even the citizens who no longer cared about political affairs were aware of the changes in the entire city.

Changes in the city.

Regarding the implementation of the New Deal by a group of officials in Nutao City, the old bureaucracy headed by the Cross Society adheres to the principle of not doing anything. You can do whatever you want. I do not support or oppose it. As long as Her Royal Highness the Queen of Supervisors agrees, I will cooperate.

.

At the same time, the news that Shuojin and the Angel Society sent a mission to visit the empire also spread through some unofficial channels.

This is almost the first time on record that five major ancient civilizations have publicly visited a secular sovereign country.

And there are two of them right away.

Unlike the palace officials who speculated about the purpose of the visit of the Shuojin and the angels, the people were generally happy and proud of it.

They all feel that the Empress of the Supervisor is in power and is leading the empire on a more prosperous road.

Luke kept a very low profile during this period. Except for the routine meetings of the Royal Cabinet, he mostly stayed in his Marquis Palace.

Didn't see any visitors, didn't go out to visit anyone.

All official business should be handled at home as much as possible.

One day, a carriage stopped outside the courtyard of the Marquis Nutao's Mansion. An attendant got out of the car. After he showed his ID to the guard standing guard, the carriage smoothly passed through the courtyard gate and entered the Marquis' Mansion.

After passing a long straight road, the carriage stopped under the arch of the main building.

The car door opened, and a tall, thin but hunched troll stepped out of the car. He was wearing a tailored tuxedo, a top hat, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a hand in his hand.

A beautiful cane.

His whole body exudes a bookish aura that is rarely seen in trolls.

Kylena went out to greet her.

Kylena, who is already in a high position and is also the personal secretary of Marquis Nu Tao, is not impetuous and has a natural smile on her face most of the time.

"Dear Master Laconia, welcome to the residence of the Marquis of Raging Waves. If you feel a little tired from the long journey, I will take you to your room to rest; if you want to see the Marquis, I will inform you."

Laconia took off his hat and handed it to the welcoming servant, then returned the greeting to Kylena: "Miss Kylena, every time I see you, I can be infected by your vitality. I want to see the Marquis first, please.

You report."

"Thank you for your compliment, Master Laconia. I will take you to the lounge for a cup of tea first, and then go and see if the Marquis is free now."

"Sorry for your trouble!"

Troll scholar Laconia followed Kylena into the main building, and after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, he was taken to Luke's study.

The door closed, Luke snapped his fingers, and a black screen was placed on the window.

The study became a dark room.

The chandelier lights up.

Luke invited Laconia to sit down and asked, "Have you produced any results from your study of ancient languages?"

The teapot on the desk was filled with a cup of tea, and the teacup automatically moved to Laconia's hand.

Facing Luke's question, Laconia replied: "Thank you, Inspector... You should be the Marquis now. I didn't expect that you would go from being an urban secret agent to a powerful minister in the empire so quickly.

Thank you for providing me with the ancient language research laboratory. The materials and equipment inside are all things I have never had before. There is also a professional expedition team to collect cultural relics related to ancient languages ​​for me.

What's more important is...the ancient Shining Gold language you taught me.

It has been of great help to me in my research on ancient languages.

Now I have sorted out the basic grammar of Ancient Sparkling Language, Ancient Angelic Language, Ancient Demonic Language, Ancient Shadow Language, and Ancient Draconic Language, and found many similarities.

If I was given more time to do research, I might be able to write ancient languages."

Laconia's answer made Luke sigh with emotion, ancient linguists are indeed ancient linguists.

So what if the demon tyrant is proficient in five ancient languages? No matter how many ancient languages ​​you know, there is a fixed number. If you can't make sentences, you can't develop new ancient languages.

Among the five ancient civilizations now, not to mention the creation of new languages, even the ancient languages ​​that once existed have been lost in large numbers due to inheritance gaps caused by wars.

Laconia can write ancient languages, and can create applicable divine spells at will according to his own needs. Even if the artifact is lost, he can reach six stars in overall strength. If there is an artifact, I don't know what he is like.

This ability to freely create magic can push his strength to such heights.

What a great guy!

While Luke was sighing in his heart, he did not forget to talk about the purpose of recruiting Laconia from Raging Waves City to Saint-Lun City: "Master Laconia, I now have a very good research and development project, which is very suitable for your expertise.

I want to form a R&D team with you as the core."

Laconia didn't know what achievements he would achieve in the future. His previous experiences made him very cautious. He asked curiously: "What research project is it?"

Luke waved his hand, and a magic projection appeared on the table in front of Laconia.

It is the world tree growing in the center of Moon Lake.

"Now I want to tell you a secret. After listening to it, whether you agree or not, you will always be employed by me as my chief consultant on ancient languages."

Laconia said worriedly: "Can I think about whether to listen or not?"

"No!" Luke didn't give Laconia any chance to refuse, and said directly: "The last generation of World Tree was destroyed by five ancient civilizations. The reason is that World Tree has the potential to become an artifact, and the five ancient civilizations will destroy it if they can't get it.

Already.

Now Miss Qingkong has become the Queen of Moonlight, sharing honor and disgrace with World Tree. When World Tree is targeted by five ancient civilizations again, we must promote World Tree to an artifact as soon as possible to prevent it from being destroyed again."

Luke's words made Laconia forget the risks involved, and her whole brain became dizzy.

"The World Tree can be promoted to an artifact!"

Laconia knows very well what it means for the World Tree to become an artifact now that the five major artifacts have been lost.

More importantly... the new artifact represents the new ancient language department, and the professional counterpart makes Laconia ignore the risks behind it.

"Lord Marquis, do you want me to develop the ancient language system of World Tree?"

"Yes, I really can't think of anyone in this world who is more suitable for this job than you."

Laconia stood up and saluted Luke: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for giving me this job. I am very happy to be responsible for developing the ancient language system of World Tree.

When will I go to the Moonlight Palace? I can leave today."

Regarding Laconia, who was eager to go to the Moonlight Court, Luke pressed his hand and asked him to sit down again: "Developing the ancient language system of the World Tree in the Moonlight Court will only accelerate the destruction of the World Tree.

Originally, I planned to establish the Yggdrasil Ancient Language Research Institute in Nutao City, but now I have to establish it in Shenglun City. Your laboratory is here. This study room contains all the information related to ancient languages ​​that I can find. You Nutao City

All the equipment and books will be delivered soon."

Laconia noticed the bookshelf behind Luke.

About five rows of bookshelves are filled with books.

"Lord Marquis, if you stay away from the World Tree, we have no way to prove whether the ancient language we designed is useful."
