I really only stop

"Mei Fei, how did Faron send tasks when he was the president?I think that method is very powerful, so I will learn it today. '

'Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have thought of your need for a long time, and have arranged the speeches in advance. '

Scanning the small note handed under Mei Fei's desk with extremely quick eyes, His Majesty the Emperor knew it well, and raised his brows without being angry:

"I issue a mission in my name, [Guarding the Orb]. The deadline for the mission is tomorrow night. The goal of the mission is to arrest the so-called [Phantom Thief] who dared to send letters to provoke the majesty of the empire under the premise of ensuring that the captured Demon King Army officers obey the law obediently." Return to justice! Remember, because it is located in the imperial capital, you must give priority to the safety of the people, and try to solve the target as quickly and accurately as possible—do you remember?"

What answered him was everyone's extremely firm eyes:

"Yes! Follow your orders!"

------------------

"Your Majesty, is this really okay?"

After most of the participants had dispersed, Mephis approached the emperor and asked in a low voice:

"The so-called Phantom Thief K is not normal in terms of words and deeds. Besides, how can you expect the demons to do what they said in the letter tomorrow night?"

"I can't guarantee it, no one can guarantee it."

Shaking his head slightly, the emperor got up and looked out the window, with an unpredictable gleam in his eyes:

"The crux of the problem is not whether the so-called Phantom Thief K will keep his promise, but [he will definitely come to save his companions]."

"This……"

After a little brainstorming, he understood what Tesla wanted to express, and Mephis couldn't help giving a thumbs up:

"It seems that you are going to take this opportunity to strengthen the security of the imperial capital—as expected of you, high, really high!"

"Stop flattering me. I haven't pursued the matter of you scaring the old earl yet. Such an old man, why do you say you have trouble with him?"

Mephis, who was pale and fawning, glanced at him, and the emperor waved his hand tiredly:

"Call Yuxia and Lu Xi over after dinner. Their strength is probably indispensable for this defense operation."

"Follow your orders, my dearest and most respected Emperor His Majesty."

"...I'm sorry, can you still talk properly?"

Chapter 341

"The emperor, the emperor's capital actually appeared in the Demon King's Army cadre..."

Cautiously hiding behind Lu Xi and looking around, looking at Nana's appearance, it seems that she is very afraid that a wild cadre will suddenly pop out from some corner and eat her up:

"I heard that they are all scary. Apart from ghosts, I am most afraid of the officers of the Demon King's Army!"

...But, Nana, you are the ghost's own father, the Master of Strangeness, and you are surrounded by several cadres of the Demon King's Army.

In an instant, he found two flaws in Ruanmei's words. In order to avoid making complaints, Lu Xi turned the topic to Celica:

"Strange, why aren't you scared this time? Normally, wouldn't Lika be the first to jump out and shout, 'Help, help!', 'I'm going to be eaten!' or something like that?"

Thinking about it carefully, when the magic in the orb was inspired by Mephis just now, even Yushia showed a serious look, only this coward Lika showed her usual expression, and seemed not to feel that the orb in front of her was so serious. What a horrible thing in general.

"Woohoo~ Weak Weak Xi, have you finally noticed?"

Stretching out a hand to cover one eye exaggeratedly, the little tail behind Celica almost raised to the sky:

"I am the one who uses the Seven Heavens' Demon Chop to control the World Exterminating Demon Flame to burn everything. It is just a cadre, and in my eyes, it is not even comparable to the wild red wolves in groups in the wilderness!"

As a cadre, I feel inexplicably dissed by this scorn.

Since Lu Xi could not reveal his identity, Lu Xi resolutely turned on the time stop, and then let the time resume flowing after pulling and pinching Zelika to vent his anger in the time stop state.

As for the end... As expected, she still couldn't get around.

Carefully looking at Yuxia who hadn't spoken since the meeting ended, Lu Xi coughed lightly:

"Cough, Yushia, are you okay?"

"I'm fine? It should be the group of demons who are not good."

Tilting his head and showing a bright smile, for some reason, Lu Xi felt a sense of oppression like an abyss from Miss Saintess:

"Including the orb that has been arrested and the so-called [Phantom Thief K], I really haven't crusaded the demons for a long time. The joy of suppressing the cat-eared demons last time is still in my heart. This time I must not let go of this opportunity to soothe body and mind~"

Even if you cheer yourself up with the energetic heroine in the idol series, the cute movements of "this concert, you must enjoy it~" can't hide the violence rooted in the words at all!

crying!I seem to have heard the crying of Miss Maomao who is far away in Rhine City!

While trembling with fear, Lu Xi silently made up his mind.

I'm sorry, that colleague who was locked in the orb.Under the weak and weak hope is to kill the enemy, powerless.

Don't blame me why I didn't help you—this kind of thing is worse than jumping into a volcano with a bomb in your arms, only a fool would do it!

"If it's as expected, His Majesty the Emperor specially asked us to come here after dinner, so it should be to arrange corresponding tasks."

After making up his mind to follow the footsteps of the full-strength Miss Saint this time, and honestly being a loyal minister of the empire, Lu Xi's thoughts gradually became vivid:

"After all, we have to consider the possibility of Kaitou K not carrying out a surprise attack at the appointed time. Mr. Mephis and the others are probably already on duty."

"Well, we will probably be scheduled to take over from them."

Gently nodding to express her approval for Lu Xi, Yuxia said:

"For incidents of this level, 24-hour surveillance is a necessary arrangement. Besides Uncle Mephis and Uncle Storm, only our team has the ability to stabilize cadres in the imperial capital."

The people arranged at the meeting are mainly to help with planning and auxiliary matters.If it is really necessary to have a one-on-one battle with the cadres of the Demon King's Army, probably only the middle-aged group and Lucy's team have this strength in the entire imperial capital.

While chatting, Lu Xi and his party had already arrived at the door of the emperor's study.After looking at each other, Lu Xi knocked on the door:

"Your Majesty, we are here."

"Well, come in."

--------------

The emperor's study room was not as magnificent as imagined.In addition to a row of bookcases and scroll racks that occupied almost half of the room, a huge silver warhammer in the corner of the room was also quite eye-catching.

"Curious?"

Apparently noticing Lucy's gaze, the emperor walked over from the desk, and easily picked up the huge warhammer with almost two Lucies:

"This hammer is called [Quen War Hammer], and it was something I found when I was adventuring with my companions. It is engraved with ancient runes that cannot be deciphered until now, and it can easily convert physical attacks into magical attacks— —Aside from other things, it’s still very easy to knock the bad guys from the Magician’s Guild who turn on physical shields when they see soldiers.”

What did the Magicians Guild do to harm the world? First Mephis and then Fallon, and now even His Majesty the current emperor uses them as an example of such maliciousness.

"...It's a pity that Yuxia's most convenient thing is the Hammer of Holy Light that she condensed herself. When I get old, this [Quin Warhammer] may not be dusted in the royal treasury."

Lu Xi, who was complaining inwardly, was taken aback when he heard this, and looked up, just in time to meet His Majesty Tesla's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling:

"Otherwise, I'll pass it on to you. In terms of strength alone, your kid is definitely stronger than me. Although Yuxia doesn't need it here, I will always find a chance to pass the war hammer to my future." The emperor's grandson."

Look for opportunities?Grandson?

"You, what are you talking about?"

Hearing a different kind of deep meaning from these words, Lu Xi, who was not sure what the emperor was thinking for a while, chose the safest way to answer:

"Your Majesty, you are in great shape. This warhammer can still radiate its original brilliance in your hands."

"...Fallon is right, you are born to be a fox."

After narrowing his eyes and looking at Lu Xi for a while, the emperor suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder:

"You're right, although my legs and feet have degraded slightly over the years, I still have the strength to hit the brat who hurt Yuxia's heart with a hammer—but I hope I [never] don't With this opportunity, do you understand?"

You hinted all this on your face, I can't understand it, it's a ghost.

But, are you sure that with Miss Saintess' character, if I really did something heinous, you can still grab the chance to punish me?

In the end, he still couldn't speak his mind, so Lu Xi could only nod vigorously.

"Well, very well. I have always believed that there are no dull people in this world-at least not before my warhammer."

Nodding in satisfaction, the emperor turned his head back to the desk:

"Now, please familiarize yourself with this defense map first."

PS: (———→)

Chapter 342 What is Nana's limit?

"...What a detailed plan."

Taking a panoramic view of the emperor's defense map, Lu Xi couldn't help but exclaim:

"Not only is every node fully prepared, but a few important positions have also made second-hand preparations-considering that this is the imperial capital, and the enemy is destined to be impossible to be more than five fingers, such an arrangement can be called Perfect."

The emperor's overall view and strategic awareness are definitely not covered.It only took half a day to receive the letter from Kaitou K, yet he had already come up with such a precautionary plan.

"It's just, why did you decide to store the orb at the Royal Library?"

Stretching out her finger and pointing at the red marked place on the map, Yuxia looked a little puzzled:

"If I remember correctly, the location there is very remote. Once something happens, it is difficult for people in other places to provide support in the first place."

"The answer is actually very simple - [Because this is my imperial capital]."

For his precious daughter, the emperor has always been very patient:

"The opponent is the cadre of the Demon King's Army who is the greatest enemy of mankind. Each of them has unknown abilities. If the rescue mission fails, they will jump over the wall...I don't want to see the imperial capital become a hell on earth with blood and flesh."

For the emperor, the value of a mere Demon King Army cadre is definitely not as valuable as the subjects under his command.

Without the leadership of the Demon King, a cadre can be released, but the negative impact on the people is something that Tesla cannot accept.

...It seems that His Majesty the current Emperor is not a reckless man influenced by the adventurer period who likes to kill enemies the most as some rumors in the market say.

"So, although the plan this time is to protect the orb in name, it is actually to minimize the loss caused by Kaitou K?"

After easily understanding the meaning of the emperor, Lu Xi suddenly realized and nodded:

"So that's it! On the premise of knowing the purpose of the other party's actions, it is indeed possible to achieve the goal through pre-arranged methods. If it is carried out properly, this incident can even be resolved with complete secrecy from the residents of the imperial capital!"

In this way, both the physical loss and the panic caused by 'cadres sneaking into the imperial capital' disappeared instantly, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

"—Having said that, if you have the idea of ​​'not resisting and directly letting Kaitou K take the orb' because of this, then it is a big mistake."

Feeling that Lu Xi's expression was a little relaxed at this time, the emperor emphasized:

"Even if there is no organization without the Demon King, the cadres of the Demon King's army lurking in the empire are still unstable factors. What I said above is just the minimum requirement. If we can do better, we must naturally pursue perfection—don't worry , I made an agreement with Faron, this time is an extra task for your team, in addition to the treatment equivalent to A-level tasks from the guild, I can also let you choose a treasure from my treasure storehouse."

"Since this is the case, we can only accept this task with full respect."

Lu Xi looked at the map on the table:

"Your Majesty, where is the area our team is in charge of?"

"You should have guessed it before, it is this place near the orb."

Stretching out his hand and drawing a circle around the most conspicuous red dot, the emperor said:

"After all, it is the task of directly facing the cadres. Apart from you, I really can't think of anyone else in the imperial capital who has this ability. At other times, you will change shifts with us, and when the time announced tomorrow night, we will stay together There—by the way, girls over there, since you are all friends of Yuxia, can I just call you Nana and Celica?"

"Oh! Good, good!"

Nana, who was nervous when she met unfamiliar people, didn't say much. In front of the majestic emperor, even Celica, who had always been habitually twitching, didn't dare to act rashly.

Apart from the lofty status of the person in front of them, what made the two girls feel most uncomfortable was actually Yu Xiya's father's status.

Just like a person who always throws bowls into the sink at home will take the initiative to say "Auntie, let me help you" when visiting a friend's house. When meeting the elders of friends of the same age, you will definitely feel Nervous!

Especially on the premise that you are not that familiar with His Majesty the Emperor!I don't even know where to put my hands!

Seeing the tension in the hearts of the two girls, the emperor showed a smile for the first time—the kind that was too small to be seen:

"Nai Nai, I heard from Faron that you are an alchemist who manipulates puppets to fight?"

"Yes, it is!"

The soft girl stood at attention, almost biting the tip of her tongue because she was too nervous:

"Although the strength is small, I will try my best to help everyone!"

"Indeed, your role this time will definitely not be smaller than that of any other person - due to the policy of reducing the impact mentioned above, I need to minimize the arrangement of ordinary guards. As for their work, I will leave it to you and Your puppet is complete."
