Magic Underachiever

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.

As a world-renowned adventurer, scientist, and tycoon, Sir Charles has been awarded honorary knighthoods by many countries. This time he also received an invitation from the Marquis of Whitehead. Jazz even got a personal letter from the Marquis, who wanted to know some details about Jazz's exploration of the Desert of Death.

So Sir Charles took Jessica to the Government House with him.

Because there were too many important people attending the banquet today, the Special Security Bureau took control of all nearby neighborhoods, and all citizens were ordered to stay at home and were not allowed to go out. Even for those who live here and return home late due to special circumstances, the Security Bureau does not allow them to enter the blocked area.

“Find a place to stay for one night!”

No one is allowed to come near this place without an invitation from the Governor's Palace.

The security near the Governor's Palace is in charge of the Royal Musketeers. All guests who come to the banquet will have a group of Musketeers wearing royal military uniforms to escort their carriages to the door of the Governor's Palace.

The carriage that Sir Charles and Jessica were riding in was inspected five times by the Security Service before it was taken over by a Royal Fusiliers Cavalry.

The carriage drove on the grass in front of the Governor's Palace, filled with musketeers wearing red royal military uniforms. The small white building of the Governor's Mansion is getting closer and closer. The lights illuminate the inside and outside of the Governor's Mansion as bright as day, and you can clearly see the vehicles parked in front of the gate.

Jessica, who was wearing an aqua evening dress, looked at the six imperial soldiers following the carriage and said to the Jazz: "Why did the Emperor of the Fromink Empire appoint Governor Marcellus at this time? He also transferred the Royal Musketeers Cavalry Regiment. Come to a teacher...

Is there going to be a war? "

Sir Charles would read the notes he had taken whenever he had time. He wore a monocle, and a light ball rose from the top of his cane to illuminate the words in his notebook.

In response to Jessica's question, Sir did not look away, and answered as he looked: "This is what I didn't like about this world before. They obviously wanted to send the other person to the gallows, but they still shook hands intimately like old friends. Obviously they are all selfish for power and fame, but they say they are for the 'people' and the 'country'.

If I could help it, I wouldn't want to attend such a banquet. "

"But Marquis Whitehead wrote to you personally. He seems to be very interested in the Desert of Death."

Jazz said: "Many people are interested in the Desert of Death, which is a world of the undead, an untapped treasure house. The empire funds us to explore the Desert of Death, not just to find ancient ruins, but also minerals and all valuable things.

The most important thing is...the feasibility of transforming the Death Desert.

There is no shortage of water in the Death Desert. Close to the eastern coast, this desert actually receives more rainfall than most parts of the Fromink Empire. But the spreading death energy prevents any living thing from growing in the desert of death...

If we could find a place with thin dead air, it might be possible to transform it into an oasis.

Do you know what the Oasis means to the Empire? "

Jessica still had this insight. She said: "It expanded the empire's land and increased its control over the Dosan Railway. With supply stations along the way, once the railway is damaged, it can be quickly repaired. If the oasis can If Fromink mainland is connected to Marcellus, then Marcellus can gradually integrate into the empire.

The Frominke Empire can truly own the sea and become a maritime country. "

Sir Charlton said with emotion: "Yes, the Fromink Empire has occupied Marcellus for so long, but it still has not become a maritime country. The deep inland empire lacks knowledge of the ocean, and its shipbuilding technology is almost blank. Although Marcellus has shipbuilding technology, how can he be trusted by the empire in this situation.

The fleet of the Fromink Empire is still under the name of the Azure Corps, and that small offshore fleet is already very backward.

The Desert of Death is stuck in the throat of the Fromink Empire. If the empire wants to go out of the continent, it must at least have a corridor on the Desert of Death, rather than just a railway that can be paralyzed for a long time with one bomb. "

Jessica nodded: "But is it possible to build an oasis in the Desert of Death? There are undead everywhere, especially at night."

Sir Charles closed the notebook and put it back into his pocket. Said: "It depends on whether your ancestors are willing. I think the entire Death Desert is your family's territory. In a sense, you are the person with the most noble status at this banquet and the largest land area."

Get out of the car, my princess, we are here. "

As soon as the knight finished speaking, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Governor's Palace, and a musketeer opened the door. The beautiful and energetic Jessica made the soldiers who served as waiters couldn't help but take a few more glances: "Dear sir, beautiful lady. This is the Marcellus Governor's Mansion. You are welcome to attend the event held by Marquis Whitehead. Party, please get out of the car..."

Sir Charles took the lead to step out of the carriage with his cane, and Jessica followed suit holding up her skirt. Then she took Sir Charles' arm and walked toward the door under the leadership of the soldiers. At this time, many guests had gathered outside the door, waiting for the guards to identify themselves and enter the Governor's Mansion.

"Sir, Miss, please show us your invitations." Soon it was Jazz and Jessica's turn. After the Sir handed out the invitation, the magician in charge of security checked the anti-counterfeiting magic mark on the invitation and said to the two: "For the safety of this banquet, all weapons must be handed over. Magicians can keep your magic wands, but don't easily make dangerous moves at the banquet, let alone release magic."

Jessica suddenly looked a little strange, and she asked: "Do all kinds of weapons have to be handed over?"

Jessica's words alerted the magician, and he warned: "Yes, if you don't intend to do anything that harms others at the banquet, then please hand over all the illegal weapons. We will keep them for you and exchange them with you after the banquet.

You don't need to worry about your safety at the banquet. There are the most elite royal musketeers and the Marquis's private guards here."

Sir Charlton guessed that Jessica must have brought weapons secretly, and he advised: "Jessica, carrying weapons is disrespectful to the host of the banquet. If you really brought any dangerous items, take them all out here."

"Okay..."

Jessica said reluctantly, then lifted the edge of her skirt and reached into her skirt to dig it out.

Three revolver holsters, two daggers, a belt full of bullets...

Jessica took out weapons one by one from her skirt, looking at the guards around her and the guests waiting behind in amazement.

The knight didn't expect Jessica to bring so many things. He smiled awkwardly and wanted to explain, but the magician shouted: "Catch them both..."

The musketeers surrounded the knight and Jessica.

"This is a misunderstanding..." The knight explained while preparing defensive magic: "My assistant attended such a banquet for the first time, and she didn't know the rules of the banquet. We have no intention of hurting anyone, and I am willing to accept your investigation..."

Just when the scene was tense, Miss Anne got off the carriage at this time. She came over and said to the soldiers who raised their guns and the magicians who took out their magic wands: "This is Sir Charles and Miss Jessica, guests of the empire. Both are outstanding adventurers, and carrying weapons is just a habit.

Everyone return to their seats, don't let this little thing delay the normal start of the banquet."
