As the port reopened again, the caravans and tour groups that were stranded in Asia Star also began to set sail again. After the starships were re-entered into the sky, they also brought the blocked news to all parts of the world.

Galactic Empire, core area 1, the highest conference room of the empire.

Today is the last day of the regular meeting, but instead of becoming relaxed, the atmosphere in the conference room was very tense.

"I think Mr. Piltinov should be responsible for this unrest in Asia, and the Elaon family's parliamentary seat should be reconsidered."

Under the planetary flag intertwined with golden olives, the powerful members of the parliament had different expressions and exchanged glances with each other. Only Piltynov Elaon's face turned pale.

The core industry of the Aila Weng family has always been related to the mining of mineral veins. After the ownership rights of Yaxing were officially transferred to the empire, the Ailaweng family paid a lot of money to take over the jurisdiction and mining rights of Yaxing. Although the mining rights over the years have Not everything was found, but no trace of the "Cloud Crystal Mine" that the Empire was most looking forward to was found.

In the end, Yaxing changed from a hot resource to a marginal planet of little use that was snatched with great efforts. This caused great dissatisfaction within the empire, and even the Ailaweng family. It became a tacit joke among everyone, which caused their attention to Yaxing to drop a lot over the years.

There are more than one resource star that the Aila Weng family is developing. If they give up on a sub-star, they will give up. On the grounds that the proportion of Chia people living there is too high and it is not suitable to interfere, they have ignored the sub-star for many years. , who did not expect that a sudden wave of dark beasts would push them to the forefront again and again.

As an unforeseen emergency, the tide of dark beasts should not be blamed on them, but the problems that were subsequently exposed were the most fatal.

The defense projects were backward, military supplies were in short supply, a large amount of reserve resources had been misappropriated without permission, the garrison was loose, and the entire central government was ineffective. All these documents flew to the table of the Supreme Council with the unlocking of Yaxing.

"If Quanzi hadn't arrived in time this time, cooperated with the Third Army to calm down the commotion, and destroyed the transmission source point of the dark beasts in one fell swoop, I don't know how much of a joke it would have been."

Farina has his hands folded and his body upright. He is nearly two hundred years old and does not look old at all. His eyes are bright and lively. The wrinkles between his brows and the corners of his eyes only add a bit of sedimentation after years. His chest The crest of the McCarthy family reflected a faint cold light against the light.

There was a decent smile on his lips, but it was like ice in Piltinov's eyes.

The conference room suddenly echoed with voices of agreement, and those councilors who were usually dissatisfied with the Aila Weng family even attacked in groups, trying to suppress the Aila Weng family's monopoly on the mining rights of several major resource stars. How over the top, yet not forgetting to flatter Farina.

"Thanks to the eldest son of the McCarthy family, Mr. Mo Xili, for his quick response and in-place support this time. He is indeed the best representative among the new students in the empire! He has accomplished such a feat at such a young age. Mr. Farina has taught him well!"

"If Yaxing had been managed by the McCarthy family at that time, there would definitely not have been such a leak!"

Farina's eyebrows stretched visibly, and she placed one hand on the table with satisfaction, and glanced inadvertently in the direction of Piltinov, who looked ashen.

The palms of his clenched hands under the conference table were sweaty. Piltinov had no expression on his face and looked reluctantly at the silent speaker, wanting to make a last-ditch effort for himself: "This wave of dark beasts was not expected. In recent years, Yaxing has also provided the empire with a lot of tax dividends in trade. Although the central government made serious mistakes in this incident, it controlled public opinion immediately and did not cause more serious panic. We I think that as long as we are given another chance, I will make a guarantee on the honor of the Eragon family! This kind of thing will not happen again next time!"

"Besides," Piltinov changed his tone and counterattacked: "According to the rumors from the caravans who retreated from Asia Star, the Third Army only arrived at Asia Star two hours after the end of the first wave of beasts. And here Previously, it was a female cub that had never been registered that used her special abilities to fight off the first wave of beasts."

As he spoke, he projected a blurry video onto the main screen of the conference room.

He had spent a lot of money to get this from a caravan, and when he wanted to get more, he searched all over Asia and couldn't find anything clearer than this.

In the video, a blond cub magically floats in the air without any tools and sings an ancient song in an unknown language. The singing is a bit intermittent because it is too far away, and the true appearance of the cub cannot be seen at all. It can only be deduced from the sound that it may be a female.

The conference room was in an uproar, and the corners of Farina's mouth were slowly smoothed.

But soon, he regained his expression of being in control. The momentary lapse seemed to be just a passing hallucination, and he said loudly: "This is just a video of unknown origin. The picture quality is so blurry. "We don't have any real information, and unless Congressman Piltinov can provide us with clearer information, it won't tell us anything."

"To take a step back, if this video is true, this is really a female cub with special abilities and such a top evolutionary level. It is impossible for our 'Rose Garden' database not to be registered! Everyone We all understand that without genetically perfect parents, it is impossible for a cub with a high evolutionary level to appear out of thin air, let alone a female."

"As far as I know, in the past ten years, no female from the empire has given birth to cubs without being registered, unless she is not a subject of our empire."

"And if there are other circumstances," Farina stood up slowly, supported the conference table with both hands, and leaned forward, causing a huge sense of oppression. He looked at the MPs sitting down and said word by word: "I His son, Mo Xili McCarthy, is already leading the Third Army on the way back, and he will come here in person to explain the situation to the Congress."

The speaker at the head of the parliament finally moved. He touched his gray beard with one hand, met Farina's eyes thoughtfully, then patted the table and said softly: "Okay, this regular meeting will be over. At this point, as for the Ela Ong family’s parliamentary seat, let’s put it on hold for the time being. After the Third Legion returns, we will carefully check the situation before making a decision.”

"Dismiss!"

The parliamentarians retreated from the conference room like a tide. Piltinov gave Farina a hard look before leaving, and then left without looking back. After a while, only Farina was left in the conference room. Rena is alone.

No one dared to rush this member of Parliament who was flourishing in the parliament. They saw him turning his tall body little by little, and his originally polite smile gradually turned gloomy, and he no longer looked as calm as before.

"Kids will grow up someday, right? Dante?"

The lynx man who put on Farina's coat froze when he heard the sound, and whispered in agreement: "Yes, Master Farina. But they are not mature enough and still need to be taught."

"I don't like the feeling that things are out of control, you know that, Dante. We have worked hard step by step to get where we are today. McCarthy's glory must not allow for any flaws! Too many people are staring at us Well, a little mistake is enough to send us into the abyss.”

Farina buttoned up her coat with one hand, and the chill in her tone made Dante shiver.

"Ask Mo Xili to come see me as soon as possible after returning to District 1."

Compared to the tense situation in the Imperial Parliament, the "Middle Court" of the Vichy Alliance seemed much peaceful.

The various galaxies in the Weixi Alliance have been independent for many years, and the relationship between them is also very weak, but even so, they also understand that if they do not unite at a special time, then the Chia people, who are not strong in combat, will only be able to compete with the new humans. would be at a disadvantage, so a star was chosen in the center of several galaxies to serve as the communication hub of the Visi Alliance.

This is the "Land of the Middle Court."

"Have the people from Charon System arrived yet?"

"Sage" Felix, who was wearing a particularly gorgeous Ma'ao galaxy, attracted the attention of everyone present as soon as he entered the scene, but he himself didn't care. His long dark purple hair was braided into a thick braid behind his back, which was too much. His gorgeous appearance makes him look somewhat androgynous.

The reddish lips curled up, and the whole face became beautiful, just like the most beautiful but the most poisonous flower. You will be fascinated by it at a glance, and then you can only be slowed down by the poison under that beautiful face. Slowly eaten away.

"Old Evra is dying, and they may not come." Podor, the "sage" of the Polar Night Galaxy who wore a linen cloak and had a peaceful face, spoke. He is the eldest among those present and has lived for almost 800 years. , I saw a pair of eyes that should have been cloudy but still sparkling.

"Don't wait for them, let's get started."

Bordeaux walked to the circular pool in the middle, tapped the surface of the lake with his cane, and drew a complex pattern. After a while, the water surface parted, and a white platform rose from the water. There was a small section of ordinary water in the glass cover. branches.

This is the origin of the birth of the Chia people, the branches of the tree of life.

All Chians who are protected by the Tree of Life can have resistance to cosmic radiation for a period of time, so that they do not have to rely on purifiers.

?

But the tree of life suddenly withered for no reason two hundred years ago. They tried their best to save only this branch with vitality, which has been sealed up with great care to this day.

No matter how hard they tried, this remaining "tree of life" never responded and became weaker day by day.

But now, a scene appeared that made all the "sages" unable to conceal their excitement. The branches, which had been silent all year round and were dull, now emitted a weak, glistening green light.

I saw all the "sages" gathered tightly around the edge of the pool, devoutly watching the scene in front of them, unable to conceal their excitement.

"Sure enough, the news from Yaxing is true." Felix reached out his hand obsessively, wanting to touch it, but he stretched it into the air and slowly retracted it.

For fear of disturbing it, everything in front of them was just a dream for them.

"Felix, we can't lose her, we can't let her wander outside and fall into the hands of those beasts!" Podol's expression was rare and excited, just like everyone else here.

"I will find her, Bordeaux, I swear, I will."

Felix stood up, his dark purple hair swept across the water, causing ripples, and a bright light ignited in his beautiful purple eyes.
