Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 157 The Solago Canal (2)

Caesar, carrying a paper bag full of roasted meat, arrived at a secluded forest on the edge of town. As soon as he found a place to sit down, the furry Twilight jumped out, its big, round eyes shining as it stared at the roasted meat in his hand, its mouth practically watering.

"Eat slowly." Caesar took out a warm taco and handed it to her.

Muyue immediately began to eat voraciously.

He picked up a taco, held the tortilla in his hand, the roast meat practically oozing out, and quickly stretched his neck to take a bite.

One bite and you're greeted with a burst of juicy meat, the aroma of grilled meat filling your mouth. Combined with the crisp pickled cucumber and the refreshing sweetness of the salad, the taste and texture experience is simply divine.

This is probably a mixed grill of various meats; you can tell from the texture that it contains chicken and pork.

He doesn't add any sauce to this; he doesn't like those strong-flavored sauces that will stain his clothes.

Meanwhile, Muyue was already eating with her mouth full of oil, and the hair around her mouth was covered in pale yellow sauce.

He took out a large bottle of sugarcane juice from his backpack. He had just bought this drink after getting off the bus. He had to admit that the fruit here was really cheap; a large bottle of sugarcane juice only cost 8 daca.

Just then, the pink flower fairy Xue Lai jumped out from beside him, curiously looking at what they were eating.

"What are you looking at? I won't give you any even if you look!" Mu Yue said in an extremely stingy manner.

But Xue Lai ignored her and went to Caesar's side, patting the sugarcane juice he had just poured out.

"Would you like to drink this?" Caesar handed his cup to Xue Lai, watching the little fairy grip the rim of the cup, stretch her little head, and sip the sugarcane juice. After only a few sips, she already had a satisfied expression on her face.

Sure enough, this little devil still prefers this kind of pure, natural fruit juice.

The snow, having drunk its fill, wriggled and bestowed upon Caesar the blessing of the withered flower, relieving much of the fatigue accumulated from his long journey.

Although the train journey was supposed to take two days and one night, he took an intercity train for half a day after arriving at the station, so the whole journey was equivalent to three days. Traveling by train for three days was quite tiring.

At this point, Caesar also wanted to find a hotel to stay in, but unfortunately he had to rush off to do what he needed to do.

"Thank you," Caesar said, extending a finger to pat Xue Lai's head.

Xue Lai smiled sweetly as he stroked her, then turned into specks of light and merged back into his body, disappearing from sight.

A few minutes later, four out of the five portions of roasted meat were in Muyue's stomach. After eating the last bit of roasted meat, it stuffed it into its mouth, swallowed it, and let out a satisfied burp. Leaning against the tree trunk, it patted its round belly, squinted its eyes, and looked completely satisfied.

"Look at the way you're eating," Caesar said speechlessly, pulling her over and wiping her mouth, which was covered in sauce and gravy, with a handkerchief.

"After eating, I just want to get a good night's sleep," Mu Yue said lazily, lying under the shade of a tree.

"Stop daydreaming. Now that you've eaten, get up and get to work," Caesar said, cleaning up the trash.

Their most important task now is to plan ahead.

The Sulna transport ship carrying the Heart of Alaska will arrive at the canal tomorrow afternoon. To avoid attracting Finn's attention, it has been escorted by several other transport ships and its location has been disguised. However, the effectiveness of these measures is uncertain. They are also prepared to temporarily seize control of the canal and forcibly breach the locks. As long as they can pass through the canal zone, someone will come to meet them immediately.
The two main threats are the dragon scales of the Final Dragon, a sacred relic of the Frederick family, and the tsunami-class sealing artifact that is about to be activated. Ita has certainly arrived here by now and is preparing to forcibly seize the relic. In the plan that Caesar, as the Holy Emperor, gave her, he required her to cooperate with Surna's people to launch an attack tomorrow night. Surna, on the other hand, gave Klorin a corresponding task.

That will depend on their efforts, but what he needs to do now is to solve another problem, that tsunami-level sealed artifact.

This thing might appear on this land tonight, causing the first wave of disaster.

He saw it that night and was quite certain that Muirner alone couldn't stop it; he had to deal with it before that happened.

"Muirner is probably here by now, isn't he?" he thought to himself.

The train's whistle blew through the thick white fog as Muirna, carrying a suitcase, slowly stepped off the special train.

The elf's constitution meant that the three-day journey didn't make her feel particularly tired, but she always carried a heavy heart.

“Dean Muirner, my name is Bühler, and I am a receptionist from the Krall branch of the Morgans district.”

The man who came to meet her was very young, and he looked quite flustered, clearly showing great respect for her, the renowned dean.

He reached out to take the briefcase Muirna was carrying as soon as he arrived, but she dodged him.

“I’m used to having control over things that are important,” Muirner said calmly.

"Yes, please get in the car. We've been waiting for you." The man smiled awkwardly and continued.

Accompanying Muirna off the vehicle was a special dispatch team of 26 people, jointly formed by the Kingdom's Klar Bureau and Rhinek Bureau, who had come here specifically to resolve the issue of containment objects.

It's possible that the containment object will begin to affect this area tonight, initiating its initial infiltration, which also indicates that the first victims will appear.

Their mission is to minimize casualties.

Muirner followed the other party out of the train station, and the members of the dispatch team behind him followed and got into the car prepared for them by the roadside.

Muirner sat in the front row of the car as it drove toward the destination.

Throughout the journey, the young man named Buller sat in the driver's seat, talking incessantly as he drove. It was quite simple; he was incredibly excited to be able to host such a renowned academician of the kingdom, who was also the kingdom's top grand mage.

“Well, I thought you would be stricter, since the information I received from them before was that you were the type who never smiled, but after meeting you now, I still feel that you are a very gentle person judging from your appearance,” Bühler said with a smile.

"Where are we going now?" Muirner didn't respond to his question, nor was he as lively and outgoing as usual. Instead, he asked in a rather indifferent tone.

“Oh, well, if you’re tired, I’ll take you to your hotel to rest,” Bühler said.

“No need, I’ll just go straight to work,” Muirner said.

"Okay, okay."
