Chapter 145 Returning the Body

Mrs. Lianyi sent the envelope and wooden box to the third floor.

"Prince Chen?"

Lei Luo stood up and took the envelope and wooden box with a look of astonishment.

Haven't you already completed the Moon Trace Space Node mission?

From what the old man who sent the letter meant, it seemed that Prince Chen was not protected by the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom.

Ripple looked cautious after handing the envelope and wooden box to Lei Luo.

"Lei Luo, His Majesty the current emperor, there are three princes in total. The eldest prince Boao is undoubtedly the one who is favored by His Majesty the most. However, the noble families and the church clearly support the second prince Pingxin. As for the prince Chen..."

Ripple shook his head.

"No one thinks highly of him. His birth was a mistake. I think the reason why he wooed you is because he also knows that it is impossible to get the support of those big forces. On the other hand, it is because of your mentor and Wushuang. Senior brother. I want to remind you that once you are involved in a political dispute, you will have no way to escape. This is a very dangerous thing, even far worse than your current situation of being assassinated by Prince Xilan. Even if your mentor and senior brother , and don’t dare to get involved in the disputes between those big forces without permission.”

Lei Luo nodded slowly.

"Why."

Ripple knew that Lei Luo had his own plans in mind.

"In short, you must consider it carefully. Although joining the Prince Conflict will give you more opportunities, the consequences of failure will not be bearable even by your mentor."

After saying that, Ripple closed the door, turned and left.

Lei Luo opened Prince Chen's letter.

"My sincere friend, respected Mr. Lei Luo, I have encountered a problem. Only you can help me solve this problem. I have no choice but to rely on our friendship and get your help tomorrow night. Nine o'clock, private room 3002 of Night Tavern, this gift is my sincerity."

After casually burning the envelope, Lei Luo opened the wooden box on the side.

"Um?"

Lei Luo stared at the milky white light spots that the pigeon eggs had eliminated, and muttered absently: "Moon crystal!!"

Take a deep breath.

Lei Luo, who had not planned to interact too much with Prince Chen, could not help but be a little shaken because of the moon crystal due to the advice given by Master Lianyi.

After picking up the moon crystal several times and putting it down again, Lei Luo hesitated.

…

The next night.

The patter...

It started to drizzle in the sky. Lei Luo put on the X mask, his body was shrouded in a layer of black mist, and he blended into the darkness silently, walking towards somewhere in the academy.

Room 3002 of Night Hotel.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, and Prince Chen, who was waiting anxiously, raised his eyes. The old servant opened the door. Lei Luo, who was wearing an X mask and shrouded in a layer of black smoke, hurriedly walked into the room and looked at Prince Chen.

"Even in the academy, my safety cannot be guaranteed, so I can only meet you in this way."

The rain wet his clothes, so Lei Luo took off his coat.

"It's an honor for you to come here."

Prince Chen actually put his luxurious animal skin coat on Lei Luo.

"To be honest, I am not sure whether you will go to the appointment. I think you should know my current situation, right?"

"Huh? Actually, I'm not sure."

Lei Luo shook his head and said helplessly: "I rarely participate in noble disputes, let alone understand His Highness's situation. Your Highness wrote in a letter that he is in trouble and needs my help?"

After Prince Chen was stunned for a moment, he recovered instantly.

"Yes, I want to borrow something from you."

"what?"

"My cousin Prince Ling's body!"

Well?

Seeing Lei Luo's stunned expression, Prince Chen took a deep breath and sighed: "He is my cousin after all. Even if he dies, he should maintain his due dignity. I have already made a request to my father, hoping that my cousin can be My brother was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and my father agreed to my request."

Even a guy like Lei Luo, who is far away from politics, can hear the deeper meaning of Prince Chen's words.

Apparently Prince Chen wanted to use his cousin's body to make some fuss and reach some compromise with His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor agreed.

The reason why Prince Chen is in a rather embarrassing situation in the principality is because of his mother's status as Princess of Xilan.

If he were the heir of a duke, his mother's status as Princess of Zealand would undoubtedly bring him huge political benefits. However, unfortunately, he was a prince, a man who might take over the country.

Doubts exist in everyone's mind.

No one knows, after His Majesty the Prince becomes the Emperor of the Principality in the future, will he be unable to guarantee the traditional interests of the Principality because of his maternal bloodline?

He was half Zealander after all.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is no exception to such doubts.

Since there is this doubt, the principality has no shortage of princes. Both the eldest prince and the second prince have their own distinct political opinions, so there is no need to worry about such a prince.

Prince Chen looked at Lei Luo sincerely.

"I know that you need moonstone, but this magical material is extremely rare. Even if I try my best, I can only get this piece, but I know a family of mysterious scholars who have the source of this magical material. , as long as you can bury my cousin's body for me, in addition to this moon crystal, I am willing to make a recommendation to you!"

A family of mystical scholars?

As far as Lei Luo knows, there are probably less than ten moon crystal veins in the major human principalities.

Most of them are the same as the mineral veins in the Moon Trace space node, and can only produce a few pieces per year at most.

Could it be that this mysterious family controls such a mine?

"Please rest assured that Prince Ling is your Highness's cousin. I have always carefully preserved his body. Even if Prince Ling is dead, he does deserve a decent burial. Giving it to His Highness is the best choice."

Lei Luo didn't say much and directly took out the embalmed body of Prince Ling from the space ring. Even the neck was finely sewn together.

"Cousin!"

When Prince Chen saw the corpse, he suddenly cried out in grief. .

"I said I would protect you back then, but you..."

"Your Highness, my condolences."

Lei Luo comforted him in embarrassment, knowing that this was Prince Chen's showmanship, but he had to cooperate with the showmanship and perform the hypocrisy of the aristocratic class.

After a long time.

After enough scenes, Prince Chen put the body away and concealed the sadness on his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei Luo, for your help!"

Prince Chen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lei Luo.

"In the Principality of Morsi, there is a family of liberal scholars who have been exploring and developing the ancient ruins in various parts of the Star Curtain all year round. They often obtain moon crystals from them and sell them to major temples. This family hopes to establish its own Academy of Natural Sciences in the Principality of Morsi. , but the huge funds are simply not something this pocket principality can afford, so it lobbied a lot of forces in the hope of getting support. I donated some in a private name and signed a private covenant with this family."

A family of archaeologists?

"good."

Lei Luo took the letter of introduction.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Prince Chen suddenly said: "Sir Lei Luo, thank you for helping me again. How can I gain your loyalty and support?"

With sincere and longing eyes, Prince Chen looked directly at Lei Luo. He already knew another identity of Lei Luo.

The secret weapon of the Grant Academy of Natural Sciences, the Eye of the Sun!

"What do you think of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, Your Highness?"

Lei Luo suddenly asked a confusing question.

Prince Chen's eyes narrowed and he was silent for a moment.

Lei Luo smiled and said: "Your Highness, you know that I am just a student at school. It's better not to say anything like loyalty and support. If Your Highness wants to get the support of my mentor, just go to my mentor. I just An enlightened student, a humble scholar who longs for power."

Nodding silently to the old man beside him, Lei Luo left the room.

"What does he want?"

Prince Chen took a deep breath, seeming to be talking to himself or asking the old man.

"It should be an issue with His Highness's attitude towards the Temple of Wisdom. This Mr. Lei Luo seems to be a staunch atheist."

"No."

Prince Chen said deeply: "No, what he is referring to is probably not the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom. All gods are unreliable..."

obviously.

Although Prince Chen completed the mission of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, he did not receive the support of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, or in other words, he did not receive enough support. In the end, he had to turn his attention again to the man who made him fear and respect him. 's father.

Use Prince Ling's body in exchange for his equal opportunity to compete.

Just an equal playing opportunity before his father.
