[Ask Ian Yinfeng to come to my place. As long as he dares to come, I will give him the relics of Inaga II - as long as he dares]

[You really think too much, with a clear sense of stupidity]

Regarding Bocaon's simplest method of provoking a general, Carlos's critical comment was very direct: [Ian will take the initiative to find you? Going to Junling Castle? Do you know what you are talking about? Even if it is the fourth level, you cannot call it over just by asking, not to mention that Ian is a fifth level who is obviously stronger than you]

[You wouldn’t want to plot against a prophet, would you? Bocaon, don’t say such ignorant words, let me underestimate your wisdom]

[Hehe] The Grand Duke of Junling Castle also chuckled and said: [If I could leave Junling Castle, I would have been chatting freely at the Sea of ​​Tranquility and the Silver Peak Prophet Sea. Don’t think of me as a stickler like you who dare not change. If I need it, I will do it, no matter whether I like this choice or not, unless I can’t do it]

[And I have no intention of scheming against the prophet. I do have a ‘legacy’ given to me by Inaga II back then... It doesn’t count to say it’s a heritage, that’s the ‘core’ we need most. Otherwise, why do you think we didn't take any action when you withdrew the northern legion for the expedition to Feiyan? 】

[Do you really think that we dare not take action because we have unclear information and are hesitant? 】

Carlos didn't reply, but you could tell from his subtle expression that he really thought so. Bocaan was so angry that he sneered again and again: "Well, seeing how lazy you are when you become emperor, I still It’s better to go find Alegria. At least she is really willing to be the emperor]

[If you are not an emperor like your father and grandfather, it would be boring to be one]

Carlos shook his head and took another sip of wine, but he still took over the words: [Since it is the 'core' that Inaga's grandfather traded to you, why are you willing to return it now? Don't tell me that you admired your grandfather, but now you are moved to tears when you meet your successor. You need to show your loyalty]

He continued to comment harshly: "You are just a bunch of freaks and bastards. You are a good person, so you have to be an alien. You are a good empire and a grand duke, so you have to be a poor man in the countryside."

[Except for Huaiguang, no one in this world can judge whether other people are human or not. It is not your turn to speak.] The Iron Man shook his head slightly, too lazy to argue with Carlos on this aspect. He raised a finger and said seriously: [Because the road Inaga II showed us has come to an end]

【And now, I want to know a new way】

Raising his head, Bo Kaon was on the other end of the light screen, looking towards the west of Terra, in the direction of the Sea of ​​Tranquility: [So, I want to ask for a teaching]

[The teachings of a contemporary sage are enough to guide us on the way forward]

Carlos was silent for a while.

After a while, he drank the glass in one gulp, then looked at the light screen and asked with a puzzled look on his face: [Since you respect Ian so much in your heart, won't you speak up and ask for advice? It’s all welcome, but you have to be willing to spend money. I think Ian wouldn’t mind giving you some advice]

[Heh] And Bocaan sneered again - he is a man of steel after all, no matter how he smiles, he is cold: [There has been no reply to the diplomatic application I submitted for more than a month. The formal channels are simply unavailable, and it is impossible for me to Diplomatic rhetoric contains information about Inaga’s legacy]

[In this case, it is better to provoke directly. He will definitely come anyway]

[You have seen through Ian's action pattern] Carlos shook his head slightly. As Ian's die-hard ally, he did know the character of his ally very well - if someone asked the question carefully, he might just ignore it because it was boring.

But if someone uses ‘such and such technology is simply rubbish and cannot be used at all! ’ If he speaks in this way, he will definitely go in and do some popular science, and educate this ignorant boy on what it means that there are no useless technologies, only useless people.

But Carlos still replied: [Idiot, just wait to be beaten by Ian]

Archduke Bocaen hung up the call with Carlos, which was not very polite, but it was obviously the Emperor of the Western Empire who was rude first. Many people always imagine how high-level the communication between the fifth energy level is, full of style, ancient honorifics, and even the lost grammar of pre-era civilizations, or some grand propositions about the world and the future, but in reality Yes, the fifth energy level is also a human being.

The communication between them, if not in front of other people but in private, was so simple, easy, gentle, friendly and pleasant.

After being hung up on by Archduke Bocaen, Carlos thought for a while and waited until the day after Ian had completely ended all the visions in the Sea of ​​Tranquility before contacting him and telling Archduke Bocaen truthfully all his thoughts.

[I have always felt that he has some issues with his emotional intelligence, and he especially likes to be smart]

Carlos honestly expressed his thoughts: [But Bocaan is indeed a genius. My father Axel has actually always wanted to solve the remaining problems of Junling Castle, but he never found a chance in his life - —He really runs Junling Castle like an iron bucket]

[I know you will definitely be interested in your grandfather’s legacy. Let me tell you how to make your own decision]

"The 'core' given to Junling Castle by Inaga II?"

At this time, Ian, who had returned to the Silver Peak Territory and was testing his physical fitness after receiving the power of the light realm, couldn't help but become curious: "Inaga also pointed out the way forward for Junling Castle? I'm really not sure about this... Ah In the Inaga memory bank obtained by Kesel, only the important events are relatively clear, and the others are skipped."

"Then again, you actually have private communications with Junling Castle? I only knew that the Elster family are distant relatives of Setal, but I didn't expect that you may appear to be mortal enemies, but actually have a good relationship? "

"How did Junling Castle and the Empire separate?"

[It’s not a little better, this communication channel is just for scolding each other. After all, no one wants to fight, so just scold each other] Carlos said straightforwardly: [As for dividing the family... it’s actually very simple]

[All the great princes in the empire have once reached the fifth level, but without the blood of the top, they can only rely on genius and luck to achieve high-level blood occasionally. They all have bloodlines with great potential, so they are arrogant and always think that our Setar royal family is lucky]

[The bloodline of the Elster family is the ‘Thunder Vortex Spirit’, a powerful bloodline of both wind and thunder systems. It was also called the ‘Sky Whirlpool Thunder Goose’ back then...]

"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Ian suddenly discovered a blind spot, and he interjected: "I was already a little confused when I knew that Archduke Thorin's bloodline was called a luminous bird by you, because that thing obviously had nothing to do with birds. relationship, but looking at it now...Do you, the Setar royal family, just like to change people's bloodline names to bird names to match your family's sun bird?"

[In short] Carlos did not pause because of Ian's interruption, but continued to talk to himself: [At that time, they had the best relationship with our Setar royal family, and one even awakened the Sun God. The prince of Bird Blood married into the Elster family, hoping that by adjusting the electromagnetic similarities between the two bloodlines, he could find a bloodline path to the fifth energy level for the Elster family]

[But unfortunately, this attempt failed. The Thunder Vortex Spirit is the spirit of surging thunder and wind on the gas giant. Although it is similar to the Sun Bird, it is still incompatible. This attempt also caused the bloodline of the main line of the Elster family to be 'polluted', which can only continue. Lead blood back from side branches]

[Since then, there have been rumors that our Setar royal family, in order to weaken the strength of the Grand Dukes, used the excuse of improving the bloodline to pollute the bloodline of the Elster family - this is really bullshit, he Elster The main line of the Te family can't give birth to other children, and can only let a mixed-race son pass alone. What does it have to do with our Setar family? That's because their subordinates are incompetent! 】

[But judging from the results, this is a rumor that cannot be refuted. To be honest, the relationship is really good for only one generation. The next generation even doubts whether their father really planned this, or even just Even the fact that the Elster family has no other heirs is also the result of the intervention of our Sun God Bird - if it really has this ability, other bloodline families on the continent of Terra will not even think of having descendants]

[This is the truth, and the result is that Duke Beida gradually alienated the empire]

[But if this is the case, it can still be maintained]

[This fragile relationship lasted until the first Grand Duke of Junling Castle unearthed the ‘Core of Apocalypse’]
