Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Randolph's last words made Li Meng realize a problem.

Taking the fruit wine from the maid's hand, Li Meng asked: "Your Majesty, is it impossible to practice profound strength in this world?"

Randolph shook his head and said: "It's not impossible, it's just that the progress is very slow. In thousands of worlds, you only need to kill monsters and level up to increase your strength. But in the real world, you can only rely on meditation to increase your strength. The efficiency is extremely low. A silver level To become a master master in one's lifetime is the pinnacle, but in all the worlds, if you are lucky, you can reach this height in a few years."

As a son of a powerful man, Randolph's only advantage is probably his self-awareness.

Being afraid of death is a very shameful thing, at least Li Meng doesn't think so.

With his status as Prince Randolph, there was no need to take risks for personal power.

After all, the thousands of civilizations in the Dark Star Territory possess not only profound power, but also technology.

Master mechas are only a supplement to the combat power of civilization. In interstellar warfare, technology comes first.

Having said this, Randolph put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, let's go to the harbor. Once we reach Apokolips, the Silver Fleet will return to its base. We have to take a shuttle to the territory of the Augustus family."

At this time, outside, the silver-white fleet gradually approached Apokolips and entered orbit.

Not long after, a white shuttle flew away from the fleet and entered the atmosphere under the protection of several mechas.

The flames outside the window only lasted for more than ten seconds before disappearing.

When the flames outside dissipated, what Li Meng saw was a metal world.

Spaceships of all sizes are flying over the city like ants, shuttling between buildings.

From time to time, a rain of fire will appear in the higher altitude sky, which is the flame produced by the friction between the spacecraft entering the atmosphere and the atmosphere.

As one of the few trade centers in the Dark Star Territory, Li Meng only saw the prosperity of Apokolips today.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, look, that's the territory of the August family over there."

Following Randolph's gaze, Li Meng looked at the city outside the window.

There is a fortress area in the city not far away.

There are more than a dozen diamond-shaped forts, covered with silver flags and covered with anti-aircraft turrets.

There is a tall metal wall around it, and huge turrets can be seen on the wall, like mountains.

"The Augustus family has twelve elders and a patriarch. The fortress serves as the residence of the elders. The largest fortress in the middle is the residence of the patriarch. It is guarded by twelve fortresses and also symbolizes the Augustus family. supreme right.”

"The ancestral motto of the Augustus family is that those with ability ascend to the throne, not heirs. Therefore, the elders all have the right to inherit the family position. In order to avoid internal strife in the family due to power struggles, the heirs of each elder compete for the position of heir apparent. They also select candidates for the clan leader from among the princes. Once the clan leader abdicates or dies, the clan leader candidate will succeed him as the clan leader."

As a large interstellar family, internal power disputes are inevitable.

How to reduce internal consumption and allow for a smooth transition of power has become the top priority of the interstellar family.

Now that he has joined the August camp, he naturally needs to understand the internal situation of the August family.

Randolph told him this, naturally it was not just a small talk.

At this time, outside, the shuttle slowly descended and passed over the metal city wall.

The fortress complex of the August family is very large, like a city within a city.

There is also a large urban area between the fortresses, with bridges and roads crisscrossing like a spider web.

The maglev vehicles running on the road are like a dense ant colony.

On the tarmac on top of a fortress to the west, the shuttle landed slowly.

As the hatch opened, Li Meng and Xiaoqing left the shuttle under the leadership of Randolph.

Outside, a group of people were already waiting on the main road outside the tarmac.

There were guards in silver uniforms and maids in off-shoulder dresses.

There was also a beautiful woman wearing a silver, floor-length, off-shoulder, tight-waisted, hip-covering long dress.

She has hip-length silver hair and wears a silver crown full of jewels.

She has a slim figure, convex front and back, exuding a mature, elegant and noble temperament.

When she saw Randolph walking out of the shuttle, there was no joy on her face, her face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

As for Randolph, when he saw the figure in front of the crowd, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed joy.

He hurried forward, half-knelt on the ground, and said, "Mother, I'm back."

Mother?

Randolph's words caused a flash of surprise in Li Meng's eyes.

Is this woman Randolph's mother?

Looking down at Randolph, who was half kneeling on the ground, her mouth was slightly opened, and a smart and sweet voice came from her mouth.

"Get up!"

Randolph quickly stood up and introduced the two people behind him to his mother.

"Mother, this is Your Excellency Li Meng whom I mentioned to you, and this one, her name is Xiaoqing, and she is His Excellency Li Meng's maid."

Later, Randolph introduced his mother to Li Meng.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, this is my mother, August Eveli, the wife of Elder August Li Ruian, one of the twelve elders of the August family."

Li Meng raised his head slightly and looked at Mrs. Evely.

Compared with humans, the individuals of the Apocalypse tribe are larger.

The average height is about 1.9 meters, and even Mrs. Evely, a woman, is half a head taller than him.

Looking at Mrs. Eveli in front of him, Li Meng murmured in his heart.

This Apocalypse tribe is really similar to the elves in human fantasy novels on Earth.

They are all beautiful, with handsome faces and a pair of pointed ears.

In terms of appearance alone, it is very suitable for human aesthetics.

Seeing Li Meng looking at her, Eveli put her hands on her lower abdomen.

She lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Hello, Your Excellency Li Meng, welcome to your arrival."

Li Meng nodded and said, "Excuse me!"

She didn't say anything more and looked at Randolph.

"Randolph, receive your distinguished guest well and make arrangements to see me later."

Randolph nodded and said: "Okay mother, I will come to you in a moment."

Looking at Li Meng again, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she turned around and left surrounded by the maids.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, let's go..."

Following Randolph, the group walked towards the interior of the fortress.

In the splendid corridor, the three of them walked one behind the other.

At an intersection, Randolph stopped.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you now. Ah Rong will take you to your room. If you have anything to do, Ah Rong can let me know. If Your Excellency Li Meng wants to go out, I will also arrange for someone to accompany you. This fortress In addition to the back courtyard, adults can also visit at will.”

Having said this, Randolph said to the maid accompanying him: "Ah Rong, I will leave it to you, Your Excellency Li Meng, but you must treat him well."

Ah Rong lowered his head slightly and responded: "Yes!"

There are six maids in total, all of whom followed Randolph to Qiwu Star.
