The Cadian envoys and the Imperial delegation soon issued a joint statement.

The Cadians deeply regret the wars of the past and have no intention of launching any form of war against the Empire again - and the official representatives of the Empire once again explained to the public that Cadia is a friendly neighbor of the Empire and there is no risk of war.

But these are all lies.

In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, the third prince took the initiative to admit his "mistake" - he publicly stated that he had received false information provided by others and made rash and disturbing remarks.

Although the third prince did not disclose the source of the information, almost everyone believed that it was Aarons's doing.

"That's the effect we want...Okay, now no one dares to let the Fourth Legion relax its guard."

The two countries have indeed reaffirmed their friendship, but public concerns are not going to disappear quickly.

Therefore, the Fourth Legion had every reason to deploy a precautionary force, and surrounded Cadia's only passage into the empire.

Under the guard of the ground forces and the potential threat of the Prison Flower, if the Cadians really dare to attack the border territory from here, they will definitely suffer serious losses.

"Okay, let's see how our opponent plays his cards."

After the extremely brief meeting, Aarons immediately returned to the Prison Flower.

However, Mo Qianyun and Yalu said that they wanted to do some investigation in Moti City, so after sending Aarons back, they returned to the city.

So Jiangyue became his temporary bodyguard... and helped him relieve some of the accumulated physical stress.

"Marquis, I still find this matter a little strange."

"Are you talking about Duke Scott? I think it's a bit strange too."

The eldest prince said that Duke Scott had decided to commit treason - this was indeed a strange thing.

Duke Scott is already seventy years old this year and doesn’t have much time left to live... and his heir Aarons had actually met him last time.

"Loran also told me some information... He said that the Duke was a person who was very obsessed with magic and didn't really care about the affairs of the territory. His heir was also a person who specialized in magic and had already become an official member of the Magicians' Guild."

The fact that the heir had come to threaten Aarons specifically also showed the Scott family's lack of basic common sense in the aristocratic circle - for an heir of a great noble family to deal with an honorary marquis, there was actually no need for so many twists and turns.

William Booker, who had faced the enemy head-on, had already suffered a great loss. If the Scotts had also used a similar method to launch a direct and forceful attack, he might have suffered irreparable losses.

"So what reason does Duke Scott have to commit treason? Even if they become emperors of the empire, their lives will not be any different from what they are now."

"Duke Scott might just be a cover. The eldest prince, Quinlan Armand, might be the one who wants to overthrow the empire the most."

"It doesn't make sense... A person who is about to become the emperor of the empire would want to overthrow the empire?"

——Although this possibility does exist, it doesn’t make sense.

The eldest prince really wanted to break free from the control of the great nobles, but there was no need for him to weaken the power of the nobles by betraying the empire.

The three dukes were not united to begin with, and with a little guidance, they could be made to fight against each other. Once one of them was weakened, the power of the royal family could be expanded.

"Duke Booker is using such an aggressive method to fight that person... I really don't understand it now."

"Just wait patiently for good news from Her Royal Highness the Princess. Miss Yang is there, so we should be able to find out the other person's identity soon."

"I hope so."

Although Aarons felt that he was fully prepared, he still had a bad feeling.

……

"Ms. Yalu, why did you bring me here?"

Although she told Aarons that they were going back to Moti City to investigate, Yalu brought Mo Qianyun to another place - this was a wasteland not far from Moti City, and it seemed that there was nothing there... at least on the surface.

After walking a short distance with Yalu, Mo Qianyun suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation of magical power.

"Here, nasty, stuff."

"Compound magic... It's a refractive shell of ice light attribute and a protective layer of earth attribute. Please step back."

After discovering the abnormality, Mo Qianyun drew his sword without hesitation and slashed towards the strange place.

The long sword that was compressed with a large amount of magic power exploded violently immediately after it came into contact with a strange barrier... After a large amount of ice chips and soil burst and exploded, the things hidden in it were exposed in front of the two.

It was a strange spherical device in operation. Under its smooth and round silver-white appearance, a strange energy that looked like magic or spiritual power was constantly flowing.

And when the device emerged from hiding, Mo Qianyun suddenly felt that the magic power in his body became sluggish for some reason.

"Why would a device that affects magic be in a place like this?"

"There is a group of bad guys looking for my sister."

"Sister...I heard from the Lord."

Looking at the strange device, Yalu's face showed obvious disgust.

Although Mo Qianyun couldn't see her red snake eyes and sharp long ears, the emotion was clearly conveyed.

"Are you planning to destroy it? Would it be better to take it back to the master for research?"

"Then, take it back."

He had no idea what this thing was, nor did he know who hid it here - but Mo Qianyun followed Yalu's instructions without hesitation and directly tied the towing rope attached to his flying wings to the ball.

Her magic power was indeed somewhat disrupted by this thing, but it was not impossible to function.

"Please come up too. We have to take this thing back as soon as possible."

"No, I can go back by myself."

"How can that be! You are just——"

After hearing this puzzling answer, Mo Qianyun suddenly felt something was wrong.

But an extremely powerful mental force invaded her brain the next moment, and all her doubts about Yalu completely disappeared.

"I understand. Please be careful."

"Okay, Qianyun...sister."

"Sister, sister?! I am really... flattered."

Because this strange thing really needed to be analyzed immediately, Mo Qianyun did not waste any more time.

As she flew up into the sky with her wings dragging the strange ball, the black-haired girl slowly raised her head and looked at the mysterious mist in the sky that seemed to always cover her head.

"Something nasty is about to happen."
