I really can't control myself

"System prompt: This exploration is over and the exploration progress is being calculated..."

"The exploration progress is 42.5%, and the points obtained are 425,000 points."

"System prompt: Obtain 1,775,000 combat points."

"System prompt: You have received a random reward, absolutely at the same speed."

The mission was successfully completed. After all, it exceeded a lot. The battle points were within Linton's expectation. Overall, it was nothing special. The only thing that can be said to be more unexpected was this random reward. It was absolutely What is constant velocity? After all, Linton really doesn't remember much about the plot of this animation, so he can't remember whose ability it is. However, he already has the ability, so Linton can just try it himself.

After a little testing, Linton probably knew what was going on. All in all, what you throw can move forward at an absolute speed without being interfered by other factors. For example, if you throw a ball, it will naturally slow down all the time. After all, it is affected by air resistance, gravity, etc. However, if you use this ability, the ball you throw will keep flying forward. If you want to block the ball, the only way to use it is to block the ball with something harder than the ball. , otherwise the ball will also penetrate the blocking object.

However, it seems that because the level of the ability I obtained is not very high, the range of the effect seems to be limited. After throwing something beyond the range of about thirty meters from my body, the ability becomes invalid. And because it is a randomly obtained ability, the store There is no upgrade option here. Unless the thing thrown out keeps following him forward, it will not be able to maintain this ability.

To be honest, Linton didn't know if this ability was useful or not. At present, he didn't think of any special way to use it. Anyway, he got it for free, so he will put it aside for now.

Of course, the main gain this time is in terms of points, mainly the spiritual equipment that I have made. Now Linton's points have reached 14 million again. If this is compared with the points, he should be able to complete some construction tasks. , which temporarily alleviated my points problem, so I am quite satisfied. However, after scanning his taskbar, no tasks had appeared yet. Linton could only wait and see if any tasks would appear in the next few days before considering his future plans.

The investigation matters were put aside for the time being. Linton had been out for nearly two months. After all, it was also the wedding period. The first thing Linton thought of now was his wife Yalan. The place he left before was at the Duke's Mansion. Of course, Linton went directly to find Yalan. So Linton quickly found a maid in the Duke's Mansion and asked where Princess Yalan was now. However, when he saw Linton, The maid here is extremely excited.

"Lord Linton, you are finally back. Something big happened. Now the Duke and Princess are looking for you everywhere." The maid said anxiously.

"Calm down, calm down." Linton held his forehead, as if big things happened once or twice while he was away. Linton was not surprised, "Take a deep breath, don't worry, after all, I'm back, right? Take your time. Please tell me what happened?"

"Huh... that... that... where do you start?" The maid here still didn't calm down completely. It seemed that her expressive ability was not very good. After thinking for a long time, she said directly: "In short, His Majesty passed away."

"What?" Linton was stunned. "Your Majesty? Are you talking about His Majesty the Emperor? Wigley?"

"Yeah..." The maid here nodded quickly.

"My nephew did it?" Linton asked directly as his first reaction.

"Of course not!" The maid was frightened. Was it Gasain who did it? After all, Garsain is the Duke of the Empire. Isn't killing the Emperor treason? Is Linton too ambitious? What was his first reaction? He directly blamed his nephew for treason?

"No..." Linton nodded, actually seeming a little disappointed, "It wasn't my nephew who did it, isn't it a good thing? Who did it?"

"Well, Lord Linton, I don't know either, but I know it wasn't the Duke who did it, but people outside say... they all say it was the Duke who did it," the maid said.

"Oh? You mean, the emperor is dead, but now we don't know who did it, but someone outside spread the news that it was my nephew who did it?" Linton asked.

"Yes, sir, not only the Duke, there is also news that you did it." The maid said.

Linton was so angry that he laughed. He was not in this world, but someone actually said that he did it. It seemed that someone was deliberately setting the pace: "What is going on, please tell me clearly..."

"That...that...I..." The maid here didn't know if Linton was angry. In short, she became even more nervous when she saw Linton's expression, and she couldn't even speak.

"Forget it, just tell me where my nephew and Yalan are now, and I'll ask them." Linton said.

The maid can answer this question. First of all, Princess Yalan is now presiding over things in the palace, of course together with the eldest princess Fula. Now that Wigley has passed away, of course the empire can only find two princesses to host it, so both of them are now in the palace. And Gasein is now in the military camp of the First Army. Because a few days ago, Gasein was suddenly appointed as the marshal of the First Army, so he has not come back these days.

Linton could probably guess what was going on when Garsain was appointed as the marshal of the First Army. After all, the First Army was the most elite army in the empire, and its station was very close to the main city. The Emperor In the event of death, it is naturally very important to control the army as soon as possible. Linton estimated that it was his wife's judgment. After all, Yalan's political sensitivity was still very high, and apart from himself, Garsain was naturally the best choice, so he was allowed to take over the First Legion.

In this case, Linton decided to ask Yalan about the situation first. Of course, Linton also left the mark of the Flying Thunder God on his daughter-in-law. With a teleport, Linton appeared directly in the palace. The location where he appeared was in the back hall of the palace. Linton was very familiar with this place. He had been here many times when he met Wigley before, but now the person sitting in the main seat became himself. His wife, Yalan, and several people were beside him. Apart from Princess Fula, Linton didn't know a few of them. They should be ministers of the empire. Now it looked like they were having a small meeting.

Seeing Linton's sudden appearance, Princess Yalan here was of course immediately overjoyed and obviously had a lot to say. However, considering that there were others in the room, Princess Yalan here did not speak immediately. She said to the minister in front: "You can go out first. My sister and I need to discuss it first."

Although she is talking about her sister, it is obvious that she wants to discuss it with Linton. Of course, the ministers also knew it well. At present, the Meloway family has basically actually controlled the empire. Of course, there is nothing they can do about it now. After greeting Linton, several people retreated. Princess Yalan and Princess Fulla were left.

"Let me hug you first." Linton hugged Princess Yalan without saying anything. Although the two were already married, Yalan was obviously still a little uncomfortable with it. After hugging, she quickly got down to business.

"Is your father really dead?" Linton asked directly.

"Yeah." Speaking of this matter, Princess Yalan here still looked very sad. Although she didn't say much, Linton could also see the sadness in the other person's eyes. Wigley was pretty good to Princess Yalan, but of course Princess Yalan had a deeper affection for Wigley.

Of course, Linton couldn't say this was a good thing in front of Yalan, and his emotional intelligence couldn't be this low, right. Linton also asked directly: "What's going on? It shouldn't be due to illness. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with his body before. If the hereditary disease was not there, hasn't it been cured with the Dragon Blood Sword herbal medicine? Could it be an assassination or something like that?" ?”

"Yes." Princess Yalan confirmed Linton's guess, and she was indeed assassinated again. Linton was also surprised. The success rate of assassinations in this world was too high. His own cheap father was assassinated, and many people in his family were assassinated. After all, he was only a small nobleman, so it was okay. , and now not only the eldest prince of the empire has been assassinated, but the emperor can also be assassinated? Linton even doubted whether there was an organization called Assassin in this world.

"In the palace?" Linton asked.

"No... outside." Princess Yalan said.

"Outside? During a private visit incognito?" Linton asked. Yes, the emperor in this world basically never leaves the palace. It is not like inviting the First Emperor to patrol the country all day long. He spends most of his time in the palace. Stay, so it's quite strange that Wigley went out.

"This matter... is a little complicated." Princess Yalan organized the language a little and told Linton a series of things that happened during Linton's absence. "The whole thing started with a man named Thomas. People in Heihe said that just about a month ago, this man suddenly appeared and claimed that he was the true heir to the empire."

"Huh?" Linton was stunned, "Who is this, the real heir?"

"Yes, he claims to be his father's illegitimate son. He wants his father to recognize his identity and make him the new crown prince." Princess Yalan said.

"Is there something wrong with this?" Linton said immediately, "Does Wigley believe it?"

"My father didn't believe it at first, but he wrote a letter to my father. After reading it, my father's attitude changed significantly." Princess Yalan said.
