Prince Predator's Guide

"The public?" Bai Ye chewed on these two words.

"Prove that you are my family, a part of our Pendragon family."

Bai Ye's eyes became distant: "Family...my home is not here."

Long Yun chuckled: "Still struggling with this? It's all over."

Bai Ye pulled her hand out of his palm.In his heart, this matter has never passed.He will always live in the shadow of that summer, unable to move forward, unable to admit the loss.

"I have a wish unfulfilled," he said.

But Long Yun insisted on putting his hand on his hand: "It's agreed, I'll be with you."

Bai Ye was silent for a long time, silently resting her head on his arm.

Compared with the vast territory of the Galactic Empire, the military parade is a bit too small.In addition to the governors of various fiefdoms dispatching star fleets to display the latest military scientific and technological achievements, the army troops lined up in the square in front of the temple.When Bai Ye walked beside Long Yun to observe the rehearsal, she felt that this was very ridiculous: "Where is the army sent to fight now?"

"You are wrong. No matter what level of technology is lit, what happens on the battlefield is still a competition between people?"

"Oh?"

"Aren't the steel-green and iron-cold big guys you see behind being manipulated by humans? When artificial intelligence evolves to the level of Lucifer, it will have seven emotions and six desires, and it will become an animal driven by desire and fear. So It is often not the level of technology that determines the outcome, but the human heart."

"People's hearts?" Bai Yeping tilted his head.

"Yes. In history, there are often stories about one person who turned the tide of battle or one person who caused disasters for the country and the people. It can be seen that sometimes just finding one person, one weakness, is worth fighting with thousands of troops on the front line."

Bai Ye chuckled lightly: "It's not that easy."

After a pause, he continued, "So this is the reason why so many nets have been laid here? The most important person in the Galactic Empire right now is His Majesty the Emperor."

Long Yun smiled: "I don't know where I heard that someone is planning an assassination, this time it seems to be planning to capture the assassin alive."

Bai Ye became nervous: "Is there an assassin?"

"That's right." Long Yun tried to put on a calm appearance, but his uneasiness was clearly written on his face, "I also heard that the assassin is... Lucifer."

"Oh my god! How could it be!" Bai Ye exclaimed, "Is it the Lucifer we released?"

Long Yun nodded in embarrassment: "He has a deep grievance with my family. Speaking of which, he has a blood brother relationship with my mother... He hates my father very much."

"What? Isn't he a mecha? And he is related to Her Highness the Empress by blood, so why would he hate the Emperor?"

Long Yun couldn't open his mouth.

Bai Ye thought of the dream in which Lucifer pretended to be the emperor, imagining a queen for him to wanton obscenity, and couldn't help but gasp.

"You don't have to worry too much, my father has made all the preparations. He won't show up on the day of the military parade, and my brother will replace him as the crown prince. When the time comes, we will face everyone's doubts on the balcony of the palace. Don't be stage frightened."

Bai Ye smiled gently, her heart beating a bit, and she felt in a trance.

I want to be with Long Yun, as a member of the royal family, to accept the worship of all people...

For him, belonging is more important than glory.

He can see how Long Yun treats him and how his family treats him.He himself doesn't know if he continues like this, when one day he needs to make up his mind to save his parents, will he still be as determined as he is at the moment.

Pippi Shrimp stood on the steeple with his father, watching the huge starship slowly sailing across the sky, which caused the crowd in the square in front of the hall to roar with excitement.Against the background of the purple sky and twelve moons, this scene is as magnificent and majestic as a sci-fi illustration a few years ago.

"It's so impressive." Pippi Xia's eyes lit up, thinking that if he took a new starship to go to Jinyinwan, those old pirate captains would be jealous.Even if there is no Zeus-class starship, the next small transport aircraft seems to be very practical.

"Stupid girl, what's the use of being sophisticated. No matter how magnificent an army is, a group of dragons without a leader is still a mess. It can't compare to a pirate army with an old model but a veteran leader." Jie stood lazily on the edge of the tower, his long hair in the night breeze. Dancing wildly.

Pippi Xia glanced at him: "Hmph, don't bully me for being born late. I know that His Majesty the Emperor is also from the army, and he is very heroic when he fights on the battlefield!"

Jie squinted his eyes and looked at the balcony of the palace, looking down at everything with eagle-like eyesight.According to the law, the houses near the imperial capital are not allowed to exceed the height of the imperial palace, so as to avoid long-distance sniping, but the location he chose is an ancient steeple that ordinary people cannot climb. Because it is a historical relic, it is the best within a few kilometers. Viewing location.At this moment, he couldn't help sighing with emotion: "What can Yingwu do? Everyone is mortal."

"Huh?" Pippi Shrimp cast a questioning look at him.In her memory, her father was never so sad.

At this time, the military music started, and Pippi Shrimp was once again attracted by the military parade.She turned her head and found that on the balcony, members of the royal family appeared one by one.Her eyesight is excellent, she jumped up and pointed to the opposite side: "Look! Xiaobai! Wow, he is well dressed! Heh heh, that Cheng Xu must be so mad!"

Jie frowned tightly: "Where's the emperor?"

"Yes, why isn't the emperor here?"

"The emperor has never been absent from the military parade every year." An ominous cloud of suspicion suddenly rose in Jie's heart, "Could it be that he knew the assassination plan in advance? Isn't Lucifer doomed to fail?"

No matter how careless Pippi Shrimp was, he now understood what he meant.

"No way!" She grabbed her father's arm, "You tried everything possible to send Lucifer to the imperial capital to assassinate the emperor?! How could you do this? After killing the emperor, the royal family has no leader. What will Xiaobai do? Xiaobai The third daughter-in-law of his family?"

"I'm just a pirate leader, and I live a life of licking blood. Over the years, I have seen so many people nodding, and I have never seen that this galaxy can't live without anyone. Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others, This is my reasoning. Since someone can afford the price of the emperor's head, how could I not accept it." Jie grabbed Pippi Shrimp's shoulder, "But now, you don't have to be too sad. You don't know who it is Bad luck. Let's go quickly, if Lucifer misses, we will be found."

After speaking, he jumped with his daughter and disappeared into the crowd.

Lucifer hid in the designated place for a long time.When he found that there was no sign of Longyin Pendragon on the balcony, he found that his mission had failed.The extremely calm part of his mind told him with machine-like precision that the plan had failed, the old thief had been prepared, and must have retreated to a very safe corner; he had to find him in the huge palace without any preparations. The success rate is close to 0. But now he has a carbon-based body, and the functions of various glands make him feel a passion that he has never had before: Even if he dies, he will return to the body again. In the state of dormant shutdown and turning into a stream of electrons wandering in the universe, he has to give it a go and bring this person who took away all his happiness into hell.

He appeared from a hidden place with red wine and walked through the bustling palace.The tuxedo, the back of the head, and the introverted eyes constitute the perfect court etiquette downloaded from the Internet; the muscle control of holding the plate to prevent the wine from shaking more than 5 degrees makes him a servant who has been trained for many years without making any mistakes.

Voices from all directions rushed towards him, and thousands of people passed by in front of his eyes.He calmly filtered the news and kept the available ones.

The attendant at two o'clock was bragging to the guard, saying that he knew the inside story, and the emperor retreated into the study; the guard said that he was no longer in the palace, and had already boarded his flagship to avoid possible threats; The lady said that after the military parade was over, she would discuss marriage with the queen. She rarely had two daughters, and it would be more appropriate to give them to the crown prince and the second prince. This matter is so important that I have to go to the study to grab a seat now; At three o'clock, a little boy was crying and was taken away by his father because he broke off a yellow rose, which was only planted in the flower bed in front of the study. The queen liked yellow, and his father was angry and said that his official career was ruined; There were other attendants chasing up from behind him, bumped into him and said fiercely not to block the way. On the tray in his hand was the 121-year-old Pliny wine. The smell molecules from the wine were scattered in the air, so strong that hundreds of Moore.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lucifer's mouth, and he changed direction and walked towards the study.

The truth is often hidden in the options of rumors;

Knowing that someone is assassinated, the queen will be the first to reconcile with the emperor after the military parade; it is not a big deal for a little boy to pick a rose, but his father is so anxious because someone with high authority on the window sill sees it. Good; Pliny wine is an ancient wine, but the taste is weak, few people know it, and few people like it, only the old antique before the cataclysm, that person is now on the route of the high-spirited attendant .

That person is Emperor Longyin Pendragon.

He is in the study.

Lucifer took every step very steadily, walking through the crowd smoothly, with his middle finger lightly touching the sharp edge of his sleeve.The further you go into the palace, the fewer people there are, as if deliberately trying to make the illusion that he is not here, but Lucifer knows that this is just a cover-up.

As he got closer to the study door, his heart beat louder and louder.

But suddenly he stopped.

Unexpected people are waiting for him at the stairs.

The guard of Lucifer's whole body collapsed the moment he saw his back.

His hand loosened and the tip of the knife fell to the ground; his pupils contracted and his eyes were moist.

"elder brother--"
