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

Gandhi was somewhat stunned after hearing his master's words.

Clearly, his master was getting anxious.

Gandhi knew very well that his master was not one to talk nonsense.

After he said that, he really did have murderous intent.

Just then, Gandhi said to his master, "Master, don't worry, I won't let anyone near this side!"

His master's expression softened considerably after hearing Gandhi's words.

He didn't say anything and just walked straight into the house.

Just then, Gandhi asked his master, "Master, when do you need these things?"

After hearing Gandhi's words, his master remained silent for a moment, then said, "Hurry up!"

Gandhi's expression turned awkward after hearing what his master said.

The reason is simple: although they say they'll do it as soon as possible, how long exactly is "as soon as possible"?

However, after his master finished speaking, he did not continue and turned to go into the house.

Gandhi looked at the materials on the list…

After seeing these materials, I realized that most of them were machine-made.

Although he didn't know what his master wanted these things for, he knew very well that he just had to do whatever his master told him to do...

However, he still had one question: the person his master was carrying on his back seemed to be the corpse of another person.

He didn't know why his master had brought the corpse back, nor was he afraid of the stench.

At that moment, however, Gandhi also knew that his master did not seem to be in a good mood.

He obediently shut up.

Not long after his master returned, his apprentices also returned.

He directly went to some people to buy the materials on the list.

After Gandhi finished doing all this, he eavesdropped outside the house where his master was.

But the room was deathly silent... He didn't even know if his master was in the room.

His master hadn't returned yet, and he was worried.

Now that his master has returned, he is actually worried.

However, he figured that as long as everything was normal, no one would associate this matter with him.

...

The next day.

Even though Boudica had endured a whole night, Boudica did so in the morning.

Boudica got up even earlier, and she looked quite well.

After exchanging a few words with Xiao Ce, she left.

Xiao Ce did not try to stop Boudica, because he had told Boudica that he had done so.

Should I continue doing this? Or should I stay by his side?

If Boudica says she wants to stay by Xiao Ce's side, Xiao Ce will definitely take her with him without hesitation.

Boudica's answer to Xiao Ce was very affirmative: he should continue doing these things.

Boudica said she is enjoying everything right now.

Since Boudica said so, Xiao Ce naturally supported Boudica.

After seeing Boudica off, Morgana gave a report to Xiao Ce in the morning.

Little Luna returned last night, bringing with her the other parts she found yesterday.

Among them was half a hand and some iron arms, except that this arm was only half a piece.

Upon seeing these items, Xiao Ce, based on his experience and comparison, determined that the two items did not belong to the same person.

Although they all appear to be robots, the materials used to make them are clearly different.

After watching Xiao Ce finish his examination, Morgana said, "There's nothing else to report..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "This information is very useful..."

"I already have a clue!"

Morgana looked surprised after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "Oh? You've got a clue? Mr. Ce, how did you figure that out?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "Not bad, didn't you notice?"

Morgana nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, what did you see?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "What can you see from these things? Can't you see anything?"

Morgana nodded realistically at Xiao Ce, then shook her head and said, "Aren't they just some remains? And they're made of iron... They're not human, these don't seem to be of much use to them..."

Xiao Ce asked Morgana, "Morgana, have you reinforced the defenses of the sea area?"

Morgana nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words: "Of course, the appearance of those suicide attack squads is enough to prove the problem. Frank has secretly ordered increased defenses and patrols!"

"At this moment, the situation in this sea area is more stringent than ever before..."

After Morgana finished speaking, she turned to Xiao Ce and asked, "Mr. Ce, what does this matter have to do with all of this?"

At this moment, Xiao Ce saw Yin Pan'er's expression and knew that Yin Pan'er must have guessed it as well.

Xiao Ce asked Yin Pan'er, "Yin Pan'er, do you already know what happened?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded, then said, "That's right, I do know... but I don't know if my consideration is correct..."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Speak freely..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked at the mutilated bodies again.

He then said to Xiao Ce, "From these remains of the deceased, it's clear they deeply harmed each other; their injuries were all very serious..."

"Therefore, I deduce that they are still here and haven't left..."

Hearing Yin Pan'er say this, Morgana became even more puzzled and said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, how do you know this? Besides, didn't you say they weren't human? Humans need medical treatment when they're injured... They're not human, so they don't need medical treatment either. And they've caused such a commotion, there's no need for them to stay..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said to Morgana, "Morgana, you're right. They're not human... You know that people need treatment when they're injured. Although they're not human, they're machines..."

"The machine is broken, doesn't it need repair? Although they're missing limbs, they won't die. But if it's not repaired in time, there will be problems, and they'll need materials to repair it. Besides, right now, with their limbs missing, their overall integrity is affected. Since it's a machine, it should be afraid of water, right? Even if it wasn't afraid when it was intact, such severe damage definitely makes it vulnerable to water..."

"So, after considering all this, it's impossible for them to leave this area, because the regulations are much stricter in the sea... and if they're missing limbs, they'll definitely be discovered if they walk around in public. Besides, they were in Lingas City before, so their fastest option is to stay here and find their contact..."

"Then they went to repair their own broken parts! So, we now deduce that it's very likely they're still staying here!"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Morgana gave a thumbs up.

Then he said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, how did you deduce that? You're so smart..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Yin Pan'er waved her hand and then looked at Xiao Ce: "If it weren't for Your Highness's guidance, I wouldn't have thought of this place..."

After hearing this, Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, should we now conduct a thorough search? Lingas City is both large and small; a thorough search should be able to find it..."

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "No need. If we do that, it will only cause panic among the people..."

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, we can't just do nothing. If what you say is true, they should be at their weakest right now. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for us to eliminate them?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "First of all, if you want to conduct a thorough search, you'll inevitably alert them. Even if you do manage to search, they'll all be gone by then..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana nodded and said, "Mr. Ce, what you said makes sense. But we can't just do nothing..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and said, "Morgana, of course not... We need to use our brains..."

Morgana heard Xiao Ce's words, glanced at the mangled bodies, and then thought of what Yin Pan'er had said.

"Yes, they need to be repaired if they break... Should we go and keep an eye on the craftsmen here?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said with a smile, "That's not necessary. Your current craftsmen aren't skilled enough to repair robots. I think they could probably do the repairs themselves, but they would lack some materials..."

Morgana, now quite astute, said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, you mean to take control of the materials for those machines..."

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "That's good, but we should still keep them under surveillance... Even if we get any information, we shouldn't rush to alert them..."

Morgana nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, after listening to you, I really understand now... Are you not planning to deal with them either?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce said, "Smart! After all, it's not good for us to offend either of them. We need to know who they are and what their background is so that we can decide how to deal with them!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Morgana and nodded.

Xiao Ce continued, "Of course, it wouldn't be bad if we could take them out quietly. I'd like to disassemble those robots and see what they are all about..."

Morgana nodded repeatedly after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

"Mr. Ce, I understand. I'll give the order shortly..."

Xiao Ce nodded upon hearing Morgana's words, then said, "Alright, no rush. Let's stick to our original plan and keep a low profile..."

Morgana nodded.

Xiao Ce suddenly remembered something and then said to Morgana, "By the way, where's Frank? We haven't seen him anywhere..."

Morgana smiled awkwardly after hearing what Xiao Ce said, then hesitated before continuing.

Xiao Ce asked Morgana, "Did they go to sea?"

Morgana said to Xiao Ce with some surprise, "Mr. Ce, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Frank was so bored after staying for a day, and he also had a lot of things to do in the navy, so he asked me not to tell you."

"However, you can't hide fire with paper. It was only because Boudica came that you were distracted."

Then, Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "However, Mr. Ce, don't worry. He went through our absolutely safe passage, and he was disguised..."

Hearing Morgana's explanation, Xiao Ce gave a wry smile, then said to her, "Morgana, I'm not an unreasonable person. If you're going, you're going... no need to be so nervous..."

"I was worried about his life before... I won't be angry..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana smiled happily and said, "Mr. Ce, that's exactly what I meant. I also think you're not the kind of stubborn old man who's inflexible. I think you can understand. However, Frank clearly cares more about his navy, and he's afraid that if you stop him, it will delay his progress..."

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile, then said to Morgana, "See? What do you call this? It means they still don't trust me..."

Morgana smiled and nodded, then said, "Mr. Ce, then I should go and disperse the people without delay..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright! Don't be too nervous. It would be best if we found it, but it's okay if we don't..."

Morgana nodded, then smiled and left.

Morgana has left.

Xiao Ce saw Yin Pan'er looking at him.

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, you've changed so much!!"

Xiao Ce asked, somewhat puzzled, "Changes?"

Yin Pan'er nodded: "In your previous behavior and handling of matters, you almost always carried out any orders you gave. However, at this moment, you seem to be more Zen-like."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Indeed, it's because my mindset has changed. Before, I had a strong obsession with how Western medicine should be made, or how it absolutely had to be this way or that way..."

"But when a person's obsession becomes very deep, it becomes exhausting. We become slaves to our emotions. We come into this world to experience things, to experience the good and the bad... We need to let all the good happen, and we also allow the bad to happen, right? We should first live each day well, and let the rest take its course..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked at him with great admiration and said, "Your Highness, you really are quite Zen-like now... and what you said makes a lot of sense! I also need to change myself!"
