Chapter 180 The Star-Moon Emperor
It is rumored that in the Star-Moon Empire, an astronomical phenomenon can be seen every hundred years.
At that time, a huge red star will appear in the sky, shining together with a blood moon, and will last for a day and a night.
The Star-Moon Empire was named after this, and the Star-Moon Terrace, the highest point of the Star-Moon Palace, is the best viewing point for viewing this wonder.
At this time, the Star-Moon Emperor, wearing an imperial robe dotted with stars, was standing on the Star-Moon Platform, looking up at the moon. Although it was not an astronomical phenomenon that had not been seen for a hundred years, the moon was dim and sad.
A ball of black mist appeared behind Emperor Xingyue, and a man walked out of it.
"What's the situation at the Magic Tower? Has their assessment ended? Brady has been out of contact for several days. Have you sent anyone to protect him?" Emperor Xingyue did not turn around, as if he knew who was coming.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that His Royal Highness Brady died during the assessment." said the man.
"How did he die? Who did it?" The Star-Moon Emperor's body trembled, and he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and remained calm.
"It was the Lord of the Abyss who killed him. It was an accident," said the man.
"The Abyss Demon King? Why would the Abyss Demon King appear during the Magic Tower assessment? Even if all the strong men in the Magic Tower came out, they wouldn't be able to defeat the Abyss Demon King! Are all the assessors dead?!"
"No, only Your Highness died at the hands of the Abyss Demon King."
Bang!
The Star-Moon Emperor's eyes suddenly widened in anger, and he slapped the stone platform beside him, causing it to explode into pieces.
He is already angry!
"When did it happen?"
"It's been a few days."
"The Magic Tower didn't even tell me about this right away! Do you think they can cover up everything?"
"They sent an envoy and they have arrived outside the Xingyue Palace wall. The leader is Lin Feng, formerly known as Ryan Wood."
When he heard Ryan Wood's name, the expression on Emperor Xingyue's face changed a little.
He turned around, questioning with a puzzled look.
"Why is he still fine?"
"Your Majesty, this boy cannot be moved for the time being. Do you know that in this Magic Tower assessment, nearly 10,000 people were almost wiped out. Who killed the Abyss Demon King and saved everyone?"
"It's him?"
"That's right. He used a dragon magic to kill the Abyss Demon King. It is almost impossible to touch him on the magic continent."
"You promised me that there is nothing you can't do."
"Your Majesty, please be patient and wait. We will give you what you want."
Emperor Xingyue turned around again, slowly closed his eyes, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
It took him a while to calm down.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Xingyue regained his composure, and his tone already showed the intention of expelling the guest.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Ryan Wood has not satisfied you for the time being. I can give you a piece of news for free."
"what news?"
"James Franky, the Imperial Magician of the Caesar Empire, also died during the assessment."
"I understand."
"Then I'll go first."
After saying this, the man turned into black mist and disappeared on the Star Moon Platform.
The Star-Moon Emperor turned the ring on his thumb.
Not long after, an old man in official uniform, led by a knight, arrived at the Star-Moon Platform.
"My lord, see your majesty!"
"No need to be polite, Mr. Smart. You are the chief think tank of the Star-Moon Empire. Now I have received news that James Franky, the imperial magician of the Caesar Empire, has died. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, is the news true?"
"Just take it as true news."
"Where did Sir James French die? What was the cause of his death?"
"During the assessment of the magic tower, the cause of death is unknown."
Smart nodded and thought for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I have a few ideas. First, Franky is of great importance to the Caesar Empire. The Imperial Magic Group under his command has always been a force that cannot be underestimated. With his death, the Imperial Magic Group will be leaderless, especially the several resource-rich areas currently controlled by the Imperial Magic Group and the disputed areas with our Star-Moon Empire. We can take this opportunity to take them back."
After hearing this, the Star-Moon Emperor said, "The old thief Caesar has many forces under his command, both openly and secretly. The loss of Franky cannot shake their foundation. He must also know the news that Franky is dead. When our Star-Moon Empire makes any move, they will have been on guard. So now is not the right time to engage in a local war with the Caesar Empire."
Smart responded, "Yes, Your Majesty is right. My second idea is that since it is not appropriate to fight Caesar now, we can take this opportunity to unite with the Caesar Empire and put pressure on the Magic Tower."
Emperor Xingyue's expression changed slightly: "Tell me in detail."
"The Magic Tower's two actions have violated the interests of the Caesar Empire to some extent. First, when Ryan Wood was wanted by the Empire, they publicly supported Ryan Wood. Although Emperor Caesar did not pursue it too much later, it eventually became a thorn in Caesar's heart and made him dissatisfied with the Magic Tower's display of power in his territory. The fact that he did not withdraw the wanted order for Ryan Wood showed that he wanted to go against the Magic Tower.
Second, the magic tower is openly recruiting people. Where do the people come from? Naturally, they come from the three empires. This will undoubtedly weaken the content of magicians in the three empires, and have a negative impact on the recruitment and expansion of magic corps in various places. Not only the Caesar Empire, our Xingyue and the neighboring Fury will definitely be affected. This alone will make the Caesar Empire consider standing with us.
The third is Franky's death. The Caesar Empire can use this to confront the Magic Tower, and it has a legitimate reason. If he wants some compensation, the Magic Tower may give it, but doing so is not in the interests of our Star-Moon Empire. We can be more proactive in this matter, intensify the conflict between the Caesar Empire and the Magic Tower, and even touch the Windfury Empire. As long as the three empires express their opinions, the Magic Tower will inevitably bleed heavily. "
Emperor Xingyue looked at Smart, nodded from time to time, and suddenly said: "Then our son Brady died in the magic tower, can we also use this as an article?"
"What?! Your Highness also..." Smart was shocked.
The Star-Moon Emperor spoke as if it was a trivial matter: "He also died in the assessment of the Magic Tower. He did not bring back any useful information. He is dead. Please analyze objectively how we can use this incident to maximize the interests of our Star-Moon Empire."
Compared to his angry look in front of the black fog man just now, the Star-Moon Emperor at this moment looked more like a ruthless person.
Smart nodded: "If that's the case, then we should go to Caesar and seek cooperation. But our Star-Moon Empire must not rush to the front. No matter how wrong the Magic Tower is, it is still a behemoth. The long-term solution is still to seek cooperation with the Magic Tower. On the one hand, we can cooperate with Caesar, and on the other hand, we can open a secret passage for future cooperation with the Magic Tower."
The Star-Moon Emperor patted Smart on the shoulder, and his words were self-evident.
"The Magic Tower's delegation is now outside the palace. The leader is Ryan Wood, who has now changed his name to Lin Feng. Do you think it is necessary to give him a warning?" said Emperor Xingyue.
His gaze seemed to pass through layers of high walls and landed outside the palace gate.
"Your Majesty, we have to put on a good show. It just so happens that Caesar sent a team of 100 knights to visit the Star-Moon Palace a few days ago, and their purpose of this trip is exactly this Ryan Wood. We can show our attitude of getting close to Caesar on the surface, and secretly test the depth of this inspection team."
"I'll leave this matter to you."
