It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 548: The Fire at Melendelle (Morning)

The Lion Garden Palace is near the Prime Minister's Tower and the Council Hall.

I was having breakfast alone in the empty hall. The door opened and a thin man in a red stand-up collar coat walked in.

"Hehe, it is said that in ancient times, the Lion Garden would use the dining room and the meeting room for summoning ministers as the same place. This can also be considered as reminiscing about the past."

The broad-jawed man sitting in his seat said in a deep voice.

The Red Needle Man who came in did not respond. He walked to the seat diagonally opposite the other party with a cold face, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Soon, messengers brought tray after tray of sumptuous breakfast, and placed them in designated places in order according to the traditional etiquette of the Lion Garden. The whole process was meticulous.

When the waiter tried to put a napkin on the Grand Duke's head, the Red Needle Duke coldly stopped him with his hand.

"Randall—"

He looked at the man sitting there with a smile on his face, and spoke in a dignified and low voice.

"You know why I came to you."

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was silent at this time.

The waiters retreated in panic, and seeing that the Grand Duke had no intention of eating, Randall smiled calmly, took off his scarf and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Haha, O'Duin, if you weren't coming, I wouldn't eat such a luxurious breakfast."

He still looked at the Grand Duke with a smile.

"The king's two brothers, Archduke Karl and Archduke Typhoon, these are the helpers you found. Hmm... I didn't expect you would bring them into the game at this time."

O'Duin just looked at him with a cold expression.

"Time flies, doesn't it?" Randall continued. "Twenty years ago, I considered you my elder, but in a few years, I will seem older than you. Time is really unforgiving."

The two looked at each other, but this time they restrained their expressions, as if they saw the phantom of the past in each other's eyes.

"You still care about what happened back then."

"So-called caring is just the words of fools," Randall closed his eyes and responded, "I have long abandoned that kind of personal emotion. It's not so much that I care, but rather that if I don't care, there will be no future. I don't need to explain the reason any more."

"Is this why you executed the agent in front of the people?" asked O'Duin.

"Humph, is your method really effective?" Randall gave him a cold look. "If you rely on others for your fate, you will only fall into an unpredictable vortex and be unable to extricate yourself."

Odun's blood-red eyes stared at him coldly.

"You know, I can still stop you now."

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

"..."

Without any closing remarks, the Grand Duke stood up from his seat, left the conference room with a cold face and without looking back.

……

For the entire morning, Luo Wei was in the office of the Sword Fighting Conference handling various affairs of the Royal City.

The oppression brought by Hong Zhen Gong was immediate.

Not only the nobles, but also the situation of the diplomatic envoys was greatly affected. On the one hand, they had to be stabilized to continue the work of dismantling the crystal pillars. On the other hand, since the four areas were relatively safe, how to guide the people to live in these areas as much as possible, and how to avoid the areas with fire magic on the surrounding routes, have been the subject of discussion and implementation in recent days.

Ryan's game should have already started.

After all, they participated in the elite competition for Valais Mountain. If they could resolve this issue on the field, it would solve the worries of the protagonists.

Everyone has something to do.

"what happened?"

Ayining tied her hair up and asked softly.

"Nothing," Luo Wei smiled, "It's just that I feel a little dizzy after reading so many documents at once."

He understood the feelings of the little princess.

Fortunately, my sister was there, and after a morning, I finally finished the main part. The rest was up to the knight to execute and report.

"If you have anything else to do, go ahead and leave the rest to me."

"Then let's have a quick meal together."

"……it is good."

The two of them had a quick meal at a nearby grilled fish restaurant. At times like this, Ayining was always very understanding and never complained or demanded anything.

As for Saya, Luo Wei still asked her to accept the commission from the Adventurer's Guild, and Luyi also followed her. It is still worth paying attention to the monsters going crazy due to the abnormal earth veins.

Lovely and Irus were in the arena, while Ananning stayed by Felicia's side. Vanessa and Dale's Senkamanda troops were stationed at the manor, and ACB48 asked Ryan's Sherond and others to help watch. In addition, the two agent bases were each filled with more than 300 people, the main force being Goodman and the Knights of Aselant, as well as Kidd and the Hooffire Empire delegation. Vimir was sleeping... Well, he was indeed a traitor.

Luo Wei thought about it and decided to help Kroxi escort the materials first. If the Third World took any action, this was the only place that could serve as a breakthrough. However, in fact, he was overthinking. Along the way, there were not only Lovell's men, but also the regular army that Randall promised to provide assistance to ensure the smooth passage. If the agent dared to come, there would be nothing else to do except to give up his life.

After arriving at the agent’s base in the lower city.

Felicia didn't say much about his personal escort, but Ananing kept clamoring to pull him and refused to let him go. In fact, according to what Luo Wei learned, this guy cleared out three batches of monsters outside by himself, and the others could only watch. Thorin's face was pale and he said bluntly that if she participated in the competition, she might not even make it to the top eight.

"Alright, alright." Seeing the white-haired idiot who was acting more like a spoiled brat than a spoiled child, Luo Wei stopped her with a sullen face and tried to hug her up along her thighs, and took out a crepe from the ripples.

The captured blockhead suddenly smiled, and went to the corner with a crepe in his arms, making kuku sounds, willing to be a slave and never say anything again.

"You two have such a good relationship." Felicia said meaningfully.

Luo Wei walked over and handed her one. Felicia couldn't help but smile when she saw the pink and white strawberry vanilla ice cream balls on it.

"I haven't had such a girly dessert in three hundred years."

Luo Wei didn't say anything, just put the crepe aside. Felicia closed her eyes, smiled and looked at him.

"Okay, I'm just kidding you," she said with pure eyes, "Since so many people are working hard, don't let the burden be too heavy on yourself."

"I'll invite you to the pub for a drink after this is over." Luo Wei nodded.

"Haha, that's a deal."

Afterwards, Luo Wei went to the other two strongholds to confirm the situation. Among them, the excavation work was still in progress at the stronghold in the aristocratic district of the upper city.

Kidd was standing at the blocked door of the ceremony room. He didn't smile when he saw Rowe coming in. Instead, he frowned as he watched the craftsman drilling with the drill.

"What on earth is this substance?" he asked puzzled.

"It looks like some kind of high-purity crystal," Luo Wei stood aside and watched, "I can't tell either. Let's wait for the results of the craftsman's analysis."

The two of them were standing outside the hall, and could see the hole inside where the red crystal pillar was placed. The entire space of more than ten meters was completely covered with transparent crystals. Ananing said that she could leave marks on it, but her knife was not used for mining after all. If she relied on sword energy alone, she would probably not make any progress even if she buried the place several times.

Third world technology, or the capabilities of agents.

However, Luo Wei has never seen a door or weapon made of this material. The possibility of its ability is higher, or the hardness of this thing is not permanent, and it will disappear on its own at a certain point.

"How's the monster situation?"

Lowe guessed that Kidd wanted to use this thing to make weapons, but he advised him not to be too optimistic.

"Haha, you arranged so many people here," Kidd spread his hands and smiled, "even the assistants related to the delegation have been found, so there is no need for me to take any action at all."

Mercenaries, chambers of commerce, and even underground organizations.

In order to find the badges, the delegations of the Sword Fighting Conference used all kinds of connections in Melendell. All of these operations were seen by Luo Wei. After investigation, he found that there was indeed no problem with the people they found. At least, they were not like Inan who worked directly for Lord Red Needle, or "Qian Yue" who had completely unpredictable motives.

After all, countries originally came to Lion Garden with their own purposes, to fight for the interests of their own countries, and it was normal for them to have their own ideas. They hoped to establish cooperation channels, to promote equal treaties, or they were dissatisfied with the high tariffs and hoped to find a solution within Lion Garden. In addition, the mainland has been turbulent recently and wars have continued. It is also human nature to worry about their own countries and hope to get first-hand intelligence to prevent vigilance.

But none of that is the point right now.

Not to mention that helping the five princesses is actually doing things for themselves. Having such a popular princess willing to take the initiative to guarantee them may be able to help with these matters in the future.

And you have to know that the culprit of the palace fire has not been caught yet. If you defect at this time, you'd better pray that your backing is strong enough.

So now the delegation's own affairs can be put on hold, including Kidd. He doesn't want to start a war with his sister, so he escapes in the hope of finding a third way. I'm afraid no one wants the dispute in Lion Garden to end faster than him, otherwise he won't even have the time to plan his future.

To put it bluntly, even if the spoils are to be divided, it should be after the matter is resolved.

As for what they gained in the process, Luo Wei didn't care. Giving them the opportunity to get close to the center of the incident was a reward in itself. Several delegations had already made trade agreements with Lovely's Chamber of Commerce in the process of contributing their efforts.

"Come to think of it, I saw the people from Qianyue go out this morning," Kidd suddenly said, "You asked me to keep an eye on them, right?"

"Yeah."

Kidd cannot be allowed to follow up on this matter. Since there has been no contact from the Sky Wing, it means that their actions are still normal.

Femi is on the lookout.

If any of the delegations really had ulterior motives, it would be clear from the position of the sword fighting badge. Luo Wei had already ordered all the main members of the delegation to wear it. Even if it was given to other people in violation of the rules, the transfer of magic power could be easily reflected.

As for the Prayer Church, the Yin God Sect, and the Funeral Hermits, he has made all the preparations he could think of.

The problem now is not that there is any key that has not been discovered, but that the essence cannot be obtained without exposing the phenomenon. The elevator door will only open when you reach the floor, otherwise you can't see anything inside. This is probably the feeling.

Thinking of this, Luo Wei glanced towards the door. They had already prepared for their response.

one way or another.

Now it's Randall's turn to play.
