Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised to hear Kate say that: "Is that all? Isn't that a bit too perfunctory?"

Kate said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, I'm not just being polite. Do you know why my grandfather, who had nine brothers, specifically asked you to imitate the Ninth Master?"

After hearing Kate's words, Xiao Ce shook his head.

Kate continued, "Because I, Ninth Master, rarely appear in the public eye."

Lingxu then recounted the information he had just seen to Xiao Ce.

One of them is a man named Sean, who loves reading and usually lives a secluded life.

He is rarely seen except at family gatherings hosted by Ux.

Although he loved reading, he wasn't stupid; he just didn't often interact with others.

Therefore, very few people know him well enough to let him impersonate this person.

This also avoids the possibility of being exposed.

This Ux is very meticulous and considerate...

Although Kate was also talking, Xiao Ce's attention was focused on what Ling Xu was saying.

Therefore, when Xiao Ce listened to Ling Xu's words, he subconsciously ignored what Kate was saying.

After Kate finished speaking, she saw Xiao Ce standing there, stunned.

Kate respectfully asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, is there something about what I said that you don't quite understand?"

Xiao Ce then said to Kate, "It's nothing, since that's the case, then it's fine..."

Xiao Ce didn't continue talking about anything irrelevant.

"Kate, you know what to do next, right?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kate nodded: "Safely deliver Mr.... no, safely deliver Ninth Master to you... and keep it a secret. Finally, Ninth Master, I'll follow your arrangements."

After listening to Kate's words, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, very good..."

Kate said to Xiao Ce, "Ninth Master, if you have any questions, just say them to me..."

Xiao Ce asked Kate, "What did the others say over there?"

Kate said to Xiao Ce, "Just tell them that you, Ninth Master, have been waiting here all along. Our main task is to take you there. Actually, Ninth Master has never really made a name for himself, so if you say that, no one will have any problems..."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded when he heard Kate say that.

Kate then asked Xiao Ce if their ship could set sail.

Xiao Ce nodded to indicate that there was naturally no problem.

Kate then made the arrangements; their ship was considered one of the more advanced in the entire Western world.

After the ship started moving.

Xiao Ce immediately had Ling Xu control the Star Network Mechanism to follow behind him.

Looking at the location map given by Lingxu, it's clear that the speed at which the Star Network Hub travels in the deep sea is extremely fast.

The Star Network Hub was originally hidden in the main port area.

The two are quite far apart from the port of Aurelius.

I didn't expect them to catch up so quickly.

Xiao Ce sensed the speed of the Star Network Mechanism and realized that it actually had another wonderful use.

Because the Starlink Hub can be used as an aircraft carrier.

When he is an island, he can move; when he is the main body of a star network hub, he can also move.

So it would be excellent to use it as an aircraft carrier, but the star network would have to be exposed.

Although Xiao Ce was unaware of the wondrous uses of that star network, it was clear that its function was far greater.

However, Xiao Ce had never noticed it.

Therefore, it's best to avoid such wasteful practices for now...

However, with this big guy by his side, Xiao Ce still felt very safe.

In fact, Xiao Ce had previously considered the ingenious uses of this Star Network Mechanism.

For example, it's possible to hide all the people inside, but after asking Lingxu, Lingxu directly denied this possibility.

Because once a living organism enters it, it simply cannot withstand the pressure underwater.

Lingxu had told Xiao Ce that the skeletons next to the signal tower of the Star Network were actually creatures that would gather there after the Star Network hub closed, as the Star Network hub descended further.

Those creatures would be unable to withstand the pressure and would explode and die.

After they died, those white bones remained there.

It was because of the information Lingxu shared with Xiao Ce that Xiao Ce gave up.

However, he quickly had a new idea: if humans weren't an option, he could look for robots, or follow someone like Director Mi who was similar to a robot...

To obtain these items, you still need to find the original owner, or one of the people from the so-called base that the mystery director mentioned...

...

Meanwhile, on a giant ship off the coast of Lingas.

This giant ship is a floating fortress that moves with the Illuminati.

At this moment, the woman who was previously referred to as the Guild Master by Victor King and Ed White in Lingas City now stood respectfully in front of a man.

If Xiao Ce were standing here right now and witnessed this scene, it would be incredibly bizarre...

Because the person in this cabin was none other than the man who looked exactly like him, the one who claimed to be the original owner.

The woman is Nie Bing, Yin Pan'er's "good sister".

Nie Bing stood in front of the original owner and relayed the information given to him by Victor King and Ed White.

After hearing Nie Bing's report, the original owner nodded with a cold expression.

“Very good, very well done. Didn't you find Boudica?”

Nie Bing nodded to the original owner of this body: "That's right, Your Highness. We couldn't find it... Please punish us..."

Although Xiao Ce always referred to himself as a prince, since he had resigned from his position as crown prince at that time, he naturally had a high degree of acceptance of the identity of the King of the Northern Desert.

The original owner of this body always believed he was the crown prince, and he disapproved of the things Xiao Ce did after taking control of his body. Therefore, the original owner always addressed Xiao Ce's subordinates as "Crown Prince."

Just then, the original owner said to Nie Bing, "It's not your fault... You can't control those iron men now, can you?"

The "Iron Man" the original owner mentioned was the robot Xiao Ce kept talking about...

Nie Bing nodded: "That's right, Your Highness. The thing you gave me before can still be controlled, but a few days ago, after I suddenly gave orders to those iron men, they stopped responding..."

"However, it's still possible to find them in person and give them orders. But the limitations are significant..."

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

The original owner shook her head: "I don't know either. I came here to investigate this matter, and since I was passing through your area, I thought I'd stop by. I just wanted to tell you that you need to be more cautious and prudent when doing these things..."

"I had finally found a way to control the Iron Legion, but it's no longer effective. If we can't control them in a unified way, it will be difficult for us to take further action..."

Nie Bing nodded, then said to the original owner, "Your Highness is indeed right. Then is there no way for us to create some more intelligent iron men like the Void?"

The original owner shook his head: "This requires injecting a soul into those iron men, but I don't know how to do it... However, I believe that a way will be found sooner or later."

Nie Bing nodded heavily this time: "That's right, Your Highness, I also believe you will have a way. Do you think our loss of the method to remotely control those iron men has anything to do with that imposter Xiao Ce?"

The original owner shook his head: "Probably not. If that good-for-nothing imposter had that ability, would we have succeeded?"

Upon hearing the original owner's words, Nie Bing pondered for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, was it done by that old bastard Xiao Dingshan?"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, the original owner nodded heavily: "We're thinking the same thing... It must be him... That old bastard has tried to ruin my plans time and time again..."

Upon hearing the original owner's words, Nie Bing quickly said, "Your Highness, are you going to look for him next? However, it seems that old man has an organization behind him..."

The original owner narrowed his eyes slightly, then said to Nie Bing, "Don't go looking for him yet... I suspect it's the same if he follows me. I went to contact those Iron Man's abilities... They should be too..."

Then the original owner said to Nie Bing, "Nie Bing, you don't need to worry about this. Can you control those Light Guards now?"

Nie Bing nodded, then said to the original owner of the body, "That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince can be controlled, as can the hundred iron men who accompanied him. However, without the ability to remotely control them, they can only execute one command at a time, not consecutive commands. Therefore, they seem somewhat sluggish..."

"However, Your Highness, rest assured. If we can't use our Iron Man, and I believe that old man Xiao Dingshan's Iron Man is equally unusable, then with everyone unable to use their own, we have an absolute advantage in controlling the Illuminati's Light Guard..."

"Thanks to your foresight. You led the Iron Legion to the Illuminati headquarters first, seized control of the headquarters, killed the Illuminati bishop, and captured the leader first!"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, the original owner nodded: "That's good... However, we can't control Iron Man's affairs, we can't let the Four Cardinals know... and we definitely can't let anyone else know..."

Nie Bing nodded emphatically to the original owner of this body: "Your Highness, you can rest assured... everything is under control now..."

The original owner nodded: "We still need to be careful of that imposter Xiao Ce..."

Nie Bing nodded, a ruthless glint in her eyes: "Your Highness, I have people he cares about very much in my hands... If he dares to show his face, this time, I will definitely capture him alive and hand him over to you!"

Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, the original owner nodded, a cold glint in her eyes: "Alright! Nie Bing, I'll be waiting for your good news..."
