My cemetery is connected to the game world

Four days later, the airship that Helot was riding in landed at the Airship Transportation Center in the northern suburbs of Covenant City.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain poured down. The light at noon was as dark as the evening. Lightnings stretching for more than ten kilometers pierced the sky from time to time, and falling thunder could be seen hitting the tall buildings in the city.

Several cars were parked not too far away from the airship, and dozens of royal guards stood upright in raincoats in the heavy rain. The ground washed by the rain was like a mirror, reflecting their figures.

Among them was a woman wearing a black windbreaker with a waist and holding a black umbrella. Her hair was pulled into a bun and she wore a pair of glasses. The rainwater flowed along the edge of the umbrella, like a falling waterfall. Her eyes penetrated the rain curtain and looked at the pod of the airship with an expectant look.

The airship's hatch opened, and an umbrella opened first.

Then Helot walked down the ladder, and the cavalryman held an umbrella for him and followed closely.

Helot walked up to Melis, looked at her for a while, and said with a smile: "It rained really hard today!"

Melis smiled and said: "This heavy rain has been falling intermittently for many days. Covenant City has not experienced such heavy rain for a long time."

"It's raining. It will stop sometime." Helot looked at the royal guards around him and said, "It seems that I have to go to the palace first to meet with our Emperor."

"Yes! When His Majesty learned that you would arrive today, he sent a team of royal guards to wait here. It seems that he is really eager to see you."

"Let's go, don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Helot and Melis got into the special car sent by the palace, and the Royal Guards convoy started, heading towards the "heart" of the empire with warning lights flashing all the way.

In the back seat of the car, Helot used magic to turn his palms into irons and slowly baked the clothes that were soaked by the rain. At the same time, he asked Melis: "Do you know why your Majesty summoned me urgently this time?"

Melis used ice magic to collect the water vapor evaporating from Helot's clothes, and condensed it into ice flowers and accumulated them in the palm of her hand.

"I don't know, but His Majesty seems to be in a good mood. This attack on the Rust Nobles has safeguarded the majesty of the royal family in a timely manner. I heard that His Highness the Third Prince is negotiating with the Rust Nobles to have the Imperial Bank fund the acquisition of one of their assets. I believe it won’t be long before the Imperial Heavy Industry Committee is no longer an institution exclusive to the rust nobles.”

Herot said: "Terenas moves quickly."

Melis nodded and admitted: "It's very fast! And he not only gained the rust nobles, but the Imperial Military Police Office was also completely under his control. I heard that he received many visiting noble officials every day, and their mansions were visited every day. There are banquets.”

Herot could feel the strong momentum of the third prince Terenas.

He now has the Imperial Military Police, the Rust Nobles, and is investigating the Deep Prison Incident. It can be said that he was riding the wind and waves and was the first to show his prominence among many princes.

If he can maintain this first-mover advantage, he will occupy a good position in the competition for the crown prince.

At this time, the royal guard who was driving coughed.

Herot realized that it was best not to discuss royal matters here without permission, so he asked instead: "What is the situation in the deep prison now?"

Melis then changed the topic: "The Imperial Military Police found a lot of clues related to the Deep Prison from the Steam Turbine Research Institute, Paul Photo Studio and the Rust Nobles. The Imperial Military Police and the Imperial Public Security Administration joined forces to crack down on the Deep Prison. Great results have been achieved.

According to the information I collected, the Deep Prison has been raided at forty-two strongholds in Covenant City, and over a thousand people have been arrested.

During this period, major newspapers have been continuously reporting this kind of news, and people's panic is subsided. When the heavy rain stops, the Imperial Administration of Culture and Education is planning to hold several large-scale events to restore Covenant City to its original appearance. "

Helot continued to chat with Melis about some things in the deep prison.

Deep Prison definitely suffered heavy losses in this attack. The empire caught its little tail and really fought to death. Not only did it kill and capture all of them, it also froze the bank account that was suspected to be involved in the deep prison.

It can be said that even if Deep Prison's spine was not broken this time, both of his legs were broken, and he will not be able to do anything big for a long time.

No wonder those corpse stitchers in the deep prison hate themselves so much and should be more careful with them in the future.

Helot secretly warned himself... As the struggle escalates, the more chaotic the situation will be in the future, the more unknown dangers will arise.

The motorcade roared in the rain, and it didn't take long to drive into the palace.

When Emperor Bradley heard Herot's arrival, he immediately put aside everything and summoned him, and also called the third prince Terenas over.

The burning fireplace dissipated the dampness brought by the continuous rain in the room. Herot and Melis each sat on an ivory chair and waited for the arrival of Emperor Bradley. The palace official brought them black tea.

The decoration in the room uses a lot of gold foil, making the place look magnificent and majestic. Helot didn't pay attention to these costumes. He stared at the flames dancing in the fireplace, thinking about the purpose of the Emperor's eagerness to recruit him from Hog Town.

He originally wanted to wait another half month or a month for the incident to subside before coming back.

Before waiting too long, the guards outside the door shouted: "His Majesty, the great emperor, has arrived!"

Helot and Melis immediately put down their teacups and stood up.

The door was opened, and Emperor Bradley strode in, followed by the third prince Terenas.

Helot and Melis: "Salute to His Majesty the Great Imperial Emperor!"

"Don't be so formal!" Emperor Bradley laughed: "There are no outsiders here. One is my nephew, one is my daughter, and the other is my son. We are all a family. Sit down... I'm going to sit by the fire, the rainy weather is making my joints hurt again."

The chamberlain moved Emperor Bradley's chair to the side of the stove, and after he sat down, he took a fleece blanket and spread it on his knees.

Emperor Bradley said with emotion: "Sometimes I have to admit that my body is not as healthy as it was in my prime, and it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with state affairs. Fortunately, the empire still has young people like you. Sooner or later, this country will have to hand over In your hands.”

Terenas immediately said: "Father has always been in good health. We are all still very immature and cannot do without your teachings."

Emperor Bradley put away his smile at this time and said sternly: "Terenas, if you understand that you are immature, you are not too disappointed in me..."

Terenas's face instantly turned pale, and he quickly stood up in fear: "Father...Father...I..."

"Sit down!" After saying that, Bradley ignored his son. He turned to Herot, and the smile appeared on his face again: "If I hadn't ordered you to be summoned back to Covenant City, you would probably have to hide for a while longer. Time will come back.”

Helot replied: "Reporting to your majesty... I returned to Claulund Manor this time to resolve the misunderstanding that has always existed between the manor and Hog Town. I don't want to see any more bloodshed and feel that something should be done."

"No matter what your real purpose is in returning to the manor this time, you have made the most correct choice. Sometimes I also want to put everything down and find a remote royal manor to live for a while and no longer care about such annoying government affairs. But... …There is no one in whose hands I can safely leave my court and empire.

If only he were still here. "

Everyone in the room knew who Emperor Bradley was talking about, and no one dared to express an opinion on this issue.

The atmosphere was a bit condensed, and no one could guess what the emperor wanted to do.

After a while, Emperor Bradley said to Terenas: "Helot has been away from the Covenant City for a long time. Please tell me again the investigation results of the Imperial Military Police Headquarters on the Deep Prison. The focus is on the people behind the Deep Prison. Those who can’t see the light of day.”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Terenas took a deep breath and recounted what the Imperial Military Police had discovered during its attack on the Deep Prison.

The torturer behind the prison was finally unearthed by the Imperial Military Police.

According to the intelligence that Terenas has now learned, the Tormentor is the main sponsor of the Deep Prison, helping this force of corpse stitchers to develop and grow in a short period of time. Then, with the information provided by the torturers, the Deep Prison carried out deep hijacking and infiltration of the imperial aristocratic official class with the temptation of replacing organs to obtain immortality.

Terenas took out a Blood Rose card and said hesitantly: "This card belongs to the torturers. They... they claim to be the descendants of the founding Duke of the rebel army in the Blood Rebellion, and they want to ask Bradley Family Revenge."

Helot felt Bradley's gaze on him become sharper.

Melis took out a blood rose card at this time: "Team leader Claulund received the same card after meeting His Majesty for the first time. Faced with the other party's invitation, the team leader immediately refused , I can testify.”

The internal officer took the card from Melis' hand and handed it to Bradley.

It can be clearly seen that the card was cut in the middle with a sharp tool and then repaired with glue.

Bradley asked Helot: "Why did you refuse? They must have offered very high conditions in order to get your recognition."

Herot replied: "Recognizing the bloodline of the pseudo-founding duke is an insult to Claude's ancestors."

Bradley couldn't help laughing: "Yes! You are absolutely right! Although we became mortal enemies during the Bloody Rebellion, no one dares to respect the founding dukes who created this country with Bradley's ancestors. .

These tomb robbers dare to forge the blood of the founding Duke and attempt to steal the empire. They are really overestimating their capabilities and seeking death! "

As he spoke, the smile on Emperor Bradley's face disappeared and turned into a strong murderous look.

In order to make up for his impression on Emperor Bradley, Terenas immediately said: "Father, leave it to me to eliminate the torturers. I will definitely find all these tomb robbers who blasphemed our ancestors. !”

Bradley did not respond to Terenas first, but asked Helot: "According to the information currently available, the people who robbed the tomb of the founding Duke should be these people who call themselves the torturers. I give you this task. Yes, you did a great job.

I want to hear your opinion on what to do next. "

Helot replied without thinking: "Your Majesty! I think I should avoid suspicion..."

Helot has always wanted to avoid getting too involved with this case. In addition to avoiding the palace struggle, he also wants to push Terenas to the front when he returns to his hometown.

The development of the matter was as he expected. Facing the fat meat of the Rust Noble, Terenas could not resist eating it. Once he ate, he couldn't stop whenever he wanted. As a result, he walked from the back to the front while eating, and found out the torturer behind the prison.

The blame has already been put on Terenas, how can I take it back?

Since the prisoner is related to the founding duke, as a descendant of the founding duke, it is natural for me to avoid suspicion.

Helot's answer was obviously expected by Emperor Bradley, which is one of the reasons why he said Terenas was childish... He was only concerned with eating and didn't know that he was led into a deep water whirlpool.

Terenas had to take over the case of the prisoner.

Bradley was not ready to let Helot go.

"You are right, it is not appropriate for you to continue investigating this case with your identity. I have another case here that suits you..."

Helot had a bad premonition.

"What case!"

Bradley's face couldn't help but become sad: "You should know the tragedy of the crown prince's death due to illness."

With the thunder outside, Helot's heart couldn't help but "click".

Are you kidding me?
