Chapter 388 Theft
Helot's rejection made Master Laem feel a little regretful. He persuaded: "In the entire Scorched Earth City branch, you are the only one suitable to be the first king. Mondor Lali is more suitable to operate in secret. , Frank lacks leadership qualities."
"Isn't it you?"
"Me?" Master Laem smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am old, both physically and mentally. They are all old! The new country needs vitality. Although it is somewhat inappropriate to use this word to describe a dead country, it does need a king who can lead it to glory, especially in the context of plane collision.
I can't think of a more suitable candidate than you, you have been here for this country since its founding
Think about it..."
Helot thought about it.
He refused to be the king because he did not want the trivial matters of the country to affect his exploration of knowledge. But if this kingdom of death is messed up, It will inevitably affect the old cemetery and make him unable to rest.
In addition, as Master Laem said, if he cannot ascend the throne as king, the Scorched Earth City Branch will really not be able to find a suitable person to take on the job. Responsibility.
Do you really want to take over this trouble?
Helot really didn't have much interest, but he had to do it.
"Okay..." Helot said reluctantly: "I can serve as the first king of this kingdom of death, but I am not responsible for specific affairs, so don't affect my own affairs."
Master Laem was very happy to see Helot agree.
"Of course it won't have a big impact on you. The Scorched Earth City Branch has a complete operating system, and it can transition into the administrative department of our country. Both Mondorali and Frank are rare talents. I You can also use my influence to summon some powerful blue mages to join in."
Helot nodded in approval of Master Laem's arrangement.
"Just do what you say, and do it as soon as possible. We must establish this kingdom of death before the headquarters."
Master Laem: "I understand!"
Helot smiled and said to Laem: "Is it time for you to come out of this prison?"
Master Laem couldn't help but recall the reason why he stayed in this prison. Shaking his head and sighing: "I didn't expect time to fly by so fast!"
"A year has passed, and our current strength has far exceeded what it was at the beginning. It's time for you to come out, our country needs you like this. Flag.”
Master Laem said: "When the country is founded, I will go out again and I will put the crown on you with my own hands. During this time, I want to write more things, and I will not have so much free time in the future."
Master Laem did not dare to waste a moment, immediately sat down, picked up the pen and started writing quickly.
A thick stack of manuscripts has accumulated on the table.
Helot did not continue to disturb Master Laem, silently picked up the manuscript, and then quietly exited.
Walk out of the vampire castle and look up at the gray sky that is unique to this plane. Your eyes seem to be able to pass through the sky and across the plane.
News came from the Rotten Royal Court that Babbitt, one of the three auxiliary ministers, was kicked out of the royal court and fled back to his territory to prepare for a comeback.
The other two assistant ministers were also severely injured in the fight, and neither of them had the ability to completely eliminate the other. Currently, the two of them each occupy half of the royal court and are actively deploying troops from their respective territories to prepare for another battle.
In this chaotic battle, the guards of the Rotten Tower actually repelled the troops sent by three auxiliary ministers to take over the Rotten Tower.
No one can become the nominal ruling king.
The throne is high, and the entire rotten wasteland has entered a state of war.
At this time, Herot entered the old cemetery and returned to the backstage world.
The familiar city smell, cement, steel, with a little salty smell of sea water. There are also familiar apartments and familiar people.
Melis stood in front of Helot. She was still dressed in official female attire, with her hair tied up, wearing glasses, and her eyes were filled with the joy of reunion.
“Where have you been?”
"I went to deal with some family matters."
Helot didn't give a specific answer, so Melis didn't continue to ask, but said: "It's good to come back safely. You're not here, and neither am I. Tenth The third investigation team can barely function, and there are too many cases that need to be dealt with."
Helot sat down on the chair by the window and asked in confusion: "What can our thirteenth investigation team have? Case? Except for the crown prince’s death case that I am investigating.”
Melis stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Helot, and said: “We are not the only ones in the Thirteenth Investigation Team. At that time. The entire golden pine wood apartment building was bought by the third prince and given to our investigation team. With the addition of so many military police, we will definitely not let so many of us get the imperial salary for nothing during your absence. During the time, the Gendarmerie General Administration assigned many cases.”
Herot drank tea and couldn't help complaining: "That boy Terenas, don't you know that I don't like investigating cases?"
Melis smiled and said: "You are now being raped by Duke Violet and The Duke of the Dead is recognized by all the Ice-Blooded Dukes, and only by exercising his power can he help reshape the Duke's authority."
Helot understood what the third prince Terenas meant.
Investigating a case naturally requires contact with various characters, which can expand the influence of the Claude family.
But Herot is a man who finds it troublesome to be a king, so he naturally does not want to waste his time for influence.
"Now that you are back, you are responsible for these cases. I am going to find the Tomorrow Group to talk about some cooperation in energy machinery."
Now Helot's mind is full of chaos energy engines, and he also There is the Wukong project of the Shanhai Fengshen Guild.
Doing scientific research is much more interesting than investigating crimes.
But the next case Melis mentioned made Herot have to take it seriously.
“The Royal Museum of the Empire was stolen and the Bone Dragon Oaks disappeared.”
"When did it happen? How could such a big bone dragon disappear just because it was said to be missing?"
The bone dragon Oakes was the mount of the first Duke of the Undead, the bone dragon on the coat of arms of the Claulund family. It's Oaks. This skull dragon is to a certain extent the symbol of this family.
Since the decline of the family, the sleeping Oakes has been placed in the hall of the Royal Museum for visitors to pay their respects.
The Bone Dragon is not just a painting or a piece of armor, it is a big thing weighing dozens of tons. Who can steal it without alerting the guards?
The document that Melis has been holding in her hand is the existing information on the theft case of Bone Dragon Oaks.
"The time when the Royal Museum discovered that the Bone Dragon Oaks was missing was at 11:44 last night. After receiving the report, the Imperial Security Administration rushed to the scene for the first investigation. Later, because of the seriousness of the case, it was handed over It was given to the Imperial Military Police, and the Imperial Military Police conducted a second investigation.
This morning, the case was assigned to our Thirteenth Investigation Team."
Helot looked at his pocket watch. , it's already three o'clock in the afternoon.
He stood up: "Go to the Royal Museum!"
