My cemetery is connected to the game world.

In the following days, Helot often went to the Third Prince's residence. The two went hunting together and attended various high-end cocktail parties together. As long as the Third Prince was there, Helot could go directly to his house without notifying him.

The Third Prince bought the Golden Pinewood Apartment and gave it to Helot, and also paid for its renovation to be used as the office building for the 13th Investigation Team. He also transferred a group of operators from the Imperial Military Police General Office to the 13th Investigation Team, gave them vehicles, and also gave them a group of Sagittarius light war machines.

On an unimportant occasion, he said after getting drunk that the Empire should restore the Dukedom of the Claulund family.

"Although the Duke's crown was voluntarily handed over by the Claulund family, Bradley III should not have accepted it. It is time to correct this mistake..."

Such words spoken by the third prince undoubtedly informed everyone that the Claulund family was on his side.

At the same time, the Claulund family took a step closer to regaining the family honor.

However, the influence of the Claulund family on the empire is still only on paper, and they do not have the real power to match their status. The only thing they can show off is their deep cooperation with the Tomorrow Group.

But since the attack on the Tomorrow Group building, this huge consortium has been in decline. If it weren't for the third prince Terenas's efforts to protect it, it would be unknown whether the Tomorrow Group would still exist, not to mention the seats of the members of Congress.

The support Terenas could get from the Claulund family was very limited.

But everything changed dramatically after the list of new members of Congress was announced.

The parliamentary elections were over, and after overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles, Irina finally became a member of parliament.

On the day she received the Congressional Medal, Irina gave a speech in front of the Tomorrow Group Building.

One of the explosive news spread throughout the Covenant City in a very short time.

The Claulund family and the Elvin family reached an agreement to jointly develop the geothermal magma resources in the northern polar region.

Tomorrow Group has accepted the commission from Mr. Helot Clauland and has sent a technical team and a negotiation group to Iceberg Snow Peak. I believe that good news will come soon.

The Claulund family, Tomorrow Group, and the third prince Terenas will jointly invest to establish an energy company called Trident, which will be responsible for the development of geothermal resources in the northern border polar regions.

……

This is news that will shock the entire empire.

Not to mention how much wealth the northern border's polar geothermal resources can bring, just the sudden change in the Duke of Ice and Snow's attitude is enough for every intelligence analyst to write an essay of tens of thousands of words.

After the Bloody Rebellion, the Ice and Snow Family all returned to the Iceberg Snow Peak, and the Empire tacitly agreed that the entire northern border would be ruled by Duke Elvin.

For hundreds of years, the successive Dukes of Ice and Snow never interfered with the empire's decision-making, and they never even left the northern border. They stayed alone in the ice castle on the snowy peak of the iceberg, receiving the criminals exiled by the empire.

If what Councillor Irina said is true.

Representing the Ice and Snow Family, they broke the tacit understanding that had existed with the Empire for hundreds of years. Not only did they participate in the politics of the Empire, they also directly intervened in the struggles within the royal family.

And this was facilitated by the Claulund family!

Someone had noticed that Helot had disappeared for a while. It turned out that he had gone to the Iceberg Snow Peak. The person who arranged for him to meet Duke Erwin should be Princess Emma Lubeli who had returned to the Iceberg Snow Peak earlier.

Now Helot's status has been raised again. The two founding dukes of the empire have publicly supported him. With the support of another prince, he is one step closer to restoring the duke's crown to the Claulund family.

Tomorrow Group has obtained the development rights of the geothermal resources in the northern border polar region, and it is an exclusive development right protected by Duke Elvin. This transfusion can not only make up for all the losses of Tomorrow Group, but also get involved in the high-end energy market.

In the past, Tomorrow Group’s energy industries were mostly low-end thermal power stations. Now, high-end energy will make up for Tomorrow Group’s shortcomings. The two complete pairs of wings of energy and machinery will surely enable it to reach new heights again.

The third prince Terenas is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

Although the Duke of Ice and Snow does not have as much influence in the palace as the Duke of Violet, he used to be silent, but now when he speaks, everyone has to listen carefully, including the emperor. Legally, you are all brothers, and the royal family was chosen by the brothers.

The brothers also included the Claulund family.

It can be said that Terenas has gained the support of two founding dukes.

Irina became a member of Congress, representing the emerging business consortium headed by Tomorrow Group. With the support of Tomorrow Group, Terenas not only had a private treasury, but also had a certain influence in Congress.

Plus the Imperial Gendarmerie which actually controls it and the Rust Nobles who are nominally dependent on it.

Terenas' hard power and soft power expanded significantly in an instant!

It dimmed the brilliance of the other princes and princesses, and also made them feel a strong sense of crisis.

Terenas was summoned by Emperor Bradley, and was praised by his father repeatedly, which was rare. He was also asked many questions about Helot.

After reclaiming the family tomb door in the ice castle, Helot devoted most of his energy to the original world.

The "Number One in the World" competition is about to begin.

Helot, who had not entered the game for a while, just appeared in the old cemetery and saw the mailbox and messages flashing wildly.

He first opened the message his father sent him, and while checking it, he sent a message to let everyone know that he was safe.

The Soul Eater responded quickly: "Have you finished dealing with everything?"

"It's basically all done. Mother was successfully elected as a member of Congress, and I cured Melissa."

"Is Irina a member of Congress now? Although I knew she would definitely be elected, I am still very happy to hear this news! It is also good news that Melissa has recovered. Yes...she should be called Princess Emma Luberry."

"I just call her Melissa out of habit. The No. 1 World Tournament is about to begin. How are you preparing for it?"

The Soul Eater said confidently, "If nothing unexpected happens, the number one spot in the world will also be mine. I have something strange to tell you. Qiu Shui Yao Yue Xian told me this."

"What's the matter?" Helot asked.

The Soul Eater repeated what Qiu Shui Yao Yue Xian said about the player world being able to release magic: "In the past, the player world was different from our world, and magic didn't exist there. Now more than one player has told me that magic has quietly appeared in their world.

I went to the Immortal Tower to look up some information, and it seems to be very similar to a plane collision."

Helot: "I heard from Jiuzui Qianzhang that someone in the player world seemed to be able to cast magic, but it was not confirmed at the time. Since you have obtained accurate information, it should be a plane collision. It is only a matter of time before the player world is incorporated."

Soul Eater: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. Do you have time to come to the Rotten Royal Court? Qiushui Yaoyuexian is worried that the chat channel will leak secrets within the Rotten Royal Court. I think it makes sense. I will return to the Royal Court to prepare for the competition after I kill this batch of monsters. It is better for us to talk face to face about some things."

"I'll go to the Rotten King's Court as soon as I'm ready."
