Same light

When Xiu returned to his room on the spaceship, the High Priest and Joshua were sitting in the living room of his suite waiting for him.

Seeing him come back, Joshua wanted to salute reflexively. He stood up and realized that they had defected and left the empire, and decided to join the so-called "federation" on the other side of the universe. In this federation, it is said that there is no imperial power and nobility.

Besides, Xiu Yuan was not a real royal family either.The high priest informed Xiu and Joshua about this matter before they boarded the spaceship—if he hadn’t learned about his life experience, maybe Xiu would still refuse to leave, Joshua thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Joshua sat down again.

In fact, since the survival crisis passed, the empire gradually began to propose the concept of equality—but a concept is a concept, just like the new concept of air rail transportation that the main planet has talked about for decades, and it is far away from realization, and no one really thought it could be achieved.

This group of self-proclaimed star thieves are very cautious. They did not disclose much information in the previous cooperation. Until the high priest and his party actually boarded this spaceship, there is no way to retreat. They will definitely return to the Federation with them. , They did a popular science about the destination to the guests.

At first, Joshua also thought that the "equality of all people" they talked about was just an invisible concept, until he was told that the Federation urgently replaced a more powerful president to deal with the empire. , and that president was born as an orphan and raised in a welfare institution.

The president is the person with the highest power in the Federation, which is equivalent to a rotating emperor. Although Joshua can't understand why the emperor can take turns, it doesn't prevent this matter from impacting his cognition.

Not to mention that it is difficult for orphans to survive in an empire that is not rich in resources. Even if they survive, without the blessing of their parents and family power, they can climb to the highest position above ten thousand people. This is a story that cannot be written in the most absurd novel .

Xiu didn't care about Joshua's actions, he nodded towards the high priest, and the high priest asked gently, "You're back?"

"came back."

Joshua hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Brother."

"En." Xiu calmly agreed, seeming to accept his true identity well.

The high priest nodded very satisfied with the situation, and said, "I was afraid that you would not be able to accept it if you spoke too quickly in the morning. I was ready to take you away by force...you are more stable than I expected, Worthy of being my son."

"Being your son is much better than being the emperor's son. What's unacceptable?" Xiu also sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

Joshua laughed and said, "Everyone wants to be the emperor's son, brother, why don't you want to?"

He was thin and pale, and much shorter than Xiu, who didn't look like a brother.

This is also impossible.It has always been difficult for the Bai family to have children, and often the children who are forced to come have congenital deficiencies, and the congenital deficiencies will grow up and reproduce, a vicious circle.

Joshua's mother is an ordinary person, so he is naturally weaker, while Xiu's mother is from the Stone family known as "the cornerstone of the empire". No matter how weak the Bai family's genes are, the blood of the Stone family will not be weak.

However, Joshua is not jealous of this seemingly healthy elder brother because he knows the real reason why his father must bring Xiu.

"After the first queen left, the teacher had a secret talk with me all night. The teacher told me that the genetic defect is not my fault. Human beings have passed the crisis of survival. People with genetic defects are still eligible to sit on the throne, so there is no need to look down on yourself..." Xiu With a look of nostalgia, "Teacher, after the queen left, as the only insider, your encouragement gave me the motivation to live for myself for the first time. This is the warmth that even the queen didn't give me—— It was you who told me that genetic defects are not inferior."

The high priest was slightly moved, he couldn't help but reached out and patted Xiu's arm, and said, "Good boy. When we get to the Federation, you won't have to live so tired. There, they have more superior technology, and we bring The genetic modification data that you have gone to, you are very hopeful that you can be repaired."

Joshua stared at his cup, avoiding the scene in front of him.

It is indeed good to be a child of the high priest, who can be taken by the high priest to another higher and richer civilized life. He has no objection to the sudden addition of an older brother to share his resources, because he knows that Xiu is not here to share resources, On the contrary, Xiu came to provide them with resources.

Xiu didn't know, but Joshua knew that the high priest had reached an agreement with the federation to provide a living body with a special gene for the other party's research.

Whether it is a defect or an advanced ability, they are all special genes.This is the reason why the high priest must bring Xiu with him no matter what - with this living body with special genes, he can negotiate more favorable conditions.

Therefore, both the high priest and Joshua have been very gentle with him since they got on the spaceship—after all, this is a valuable resource that can be used for negotiation.

"Teacher..." Xiu paused and changed his words, "Father. I'm a little uneasy about the future, there are too many unknowns. Who is in power in the Federation at present, and besides the so-called president, who else needs attention? ,Do you know?"

"...we don't know anything about them."

The emperor sat half leaning on his golden throne, looked at Alfred under his seat, and emphasized again.

"I don't know anything. You have been vigilant for a long time, is it useful? Have you collected any useful information?"

"At least more than you, Your Majesty." Alfred said, "I was about to report to you that during the few hours you were asleep, that aircraft had changed course and passed a military base on the Second Cantilever. Heading towards the planet where another military base is located."

"Why did you report this kind of thing to you first, instead of me?!" The emperor asked.

At such a time, his first reaction turned out to be this... Alfred suppressed the urge to get angry, and said, "It's probably because you fainted from fright and couldn't even wake up. They can only follow the regent's order." Report it to me."

Before the emperor got angry and they quarreled and wasted time, Alfred quickly continued: "Obviously, there is a person on the aircraft who knows the exact locations of all our military bases and is leading the way."

"Xiu." The emperor squeezed out the name through gritted teeth, as if wishing he could be sentenced to death immediately, "Only him! The high priest will not know such details about the legion! Send me an order immediately, fight me! The whole army Attack! They must not be allowed to leave the empire!"

"It's useless." Alfred said, "I have ordered the previous military base to try to attack, but it didn't work."

The emperor's chest heaved, he stared at Alfred, and said, "You came into the palace in such a hurry, do you have something to say?"

Alfred nodded in acquiescence, and said, "There is another way to try."

"Now it is announced that the prince will be abolished, and I will be named the crown prince."

The emperor laughed angrily, and was about to say, you are not ashamed that I am still playing tricks at this juncture, aren't you also grabbing benefits for yourself at this time?

Before he could utter the ridicule, Alfred continued: "Then, send the crown prince himself to arrest the kidnapper."

"...the kidnapper?"

"Another civilized person kidnapped our First Prince and High Priest." Alfred said calmly, "Could it be that they defected?"

Of course, kidnapping sounds much better than defecting, the emperor immediately said: "Of course it is kidnapping."

Alfred nodded, and said: "Their path is traceable now, interception has become possible, let me lead troops to intercept, I am sure."

The emperor slowly regained his sense of control, and began to seriously consider the possibility of Alfred's personal conquest.

There is already chaos outside, and the turmoil is spreading outward from the main planet. When this kind of fear is chaotic, the people desperately need a shot of stimulant-the crown prince's personal conquest is the stimulant.

Of course, there are also side effects, that is, it is normal for Alfred's reputation to reach an unprecedented peak, even surpassing the emperor.This is obviously what Alfred is after.

The emperor slowly thought about the pros and cons for a while, and said, "I will announce your title and appointment to the public immediately, and you can set off now."

Alfred got what he wanted and walked away without delay.

The warship is ready and ready to take off as soon as he arrives.

"Alfred, one more thing."

The emperor called him from behind.

"What?" Alfred asked patiently.

"I want to issue a secret military order to you." The emperor looked at him with cold eyes, "The eldest prince and the high priest—I order you to kill these two defectors."

Alfred nodded, and said: "Yes."
