Chapter 1046 There is a Dragon Here
[Hey! When you say that, I remember a story. A long time ago, there was a kingdom somewhere, and a circle on the map of the kingdom was marked with "Here is a dragon". The story is long, so I won't go into details. Anyway, "Here is a dragon" is an expression for something unknown. ]

"I've read that story, too. It says that there are actually real dragons, and that the dragons are troubled by the expression 'there are dragons here'. It's as if the dragons don't let people in the kingdom go out, so there are always knights and heroes running out of the kingdom to challenge the dragons, and the dragons are overwhelmed. Fortunately, dragons can grow or shrink, rise or hide. Those dragons hid themselves and turned into small lizards, hiding tightly around the kingdom."

[So Shangluo, what do you think is the case - the Dragon Palace is actually hidden? It may not be a real city, or even just a "code name"? The real Dragon Palace may be very small. ]

"Ah, that's true! If dragons can be big or small, then the Dragon Palace doesn't necessarily need to be very big. Maybe the real Dragon Palace is actually hidden behind a rock!"

[We are so smart! We solved the secret of Dragon Palace in one go.]

"."

【.】

Both men fell silent.

[Do you think this is realistic? ]

"I always feel that it's not that simple. The Dragon King said that this time he wants the Dragon Palace to 'unwind' and join the battle, which means that the Dragon Palace can move and has the ability to fight."

[I'm afraid we'll know what the Dragon Palace looks like when the time comes - but is it important to you? ]

"Very important. The Dragon Palace is different from your Poseidon. The Dragon Palace should not be separated from the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. But now the Dragon Palace is obviously too independent. We don't even know the location of the Dragon Palace. This is not a good thing. If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. I have to completely uncover the secrets of the Dragon Palace, so that I can let them hide under the waves of the East China Sea without worry."

[So compared to Xu Fu, the East China Sea is also a problem you want to solve? ]

"Xu Fu is an enemy that is about to surface. He wants to revive Qin Shi Huang, which is to cause trouble for the court. But compared to the visible Xu Fu, those dragons that are so hidden that we can't see their heads or tails are also our targets for 'taming'. We can't let them run around like snakes in the mountains beside the bed of the heaven."

The next morning, Shangluo woke up early.

Agatha stood in the living room.

"Good morning, Ms. Agatha."

"Good morning, Your Majesty. Her Majesty Victoria originally said she would get up and see you off, but she seems to be a little sleepy due to jet lag. So, let me see you off."

"Ah! Thank you very much."

"I have packed some supplies that you may need." She took out a military backpack. "There are enough supplies in here to support one person for half a year. Two people can survive for three months, and so on. Although you may not be able to use it now, I suggest you accept it in case you need it."

Shangluo thanked her while stuffing the backpack into his bag. His bag was quite big, although it could hold supplies for three to five years, not to mention half a year. But since this was professional advice from a professional, he accepted it. After watching Agatha return to the frame, he began to count the supplies in his bag.

If nothing unexpected happens, this trip won't be too long.

The big target is still Xu Fu. However, dealing with Xu Fu is the business of the entire Heavenly Court, so all parties belonging to the Heavenly Court are mobilizing troops and preparing to encircle the Japanese country where Xu Fu is located. During this period, Shangluo plans to take a day to deal with personal affairs, that is, to go to Nanyang to shoot the advertisement that he promised to take on the national surname. In general, how quickly this task is completed depends on when Xu Fu is captured.

Shangluo didn't want to spend too much time on Xu Fu - because the emperor was in seclusion, and now the emperor had handed over the affairs of the heaven to him. Now he was also in charge of capturing Xu Fu, so the capital was empty and many things would be delayed.

[So, you want to end this as quickly as possible, right?]

"My time is very precious." Shang Luo replied, "I am about to ascend to heaven, and someone has to watch over my family. So I don't plan to waste time with Xu Fu. Once I find any clues, I will go all in. It would be best if I could kill him with one blow - I actually want to capture Xu Fu alive. If he really lived this long, instead of taking a rest somewhere in the middle and just resurrected, then he would be a living history book, and I should be able to get a lot of information from him."

[That's why so many people are being mobilized, right?]

"That's right. To catch a monster, you have to make some noise."

This was no ordinary military operation. This was the first time that the entire empire was mobilized as a "heavenly court".

The Heavenly Palace is different from the Imperial Court. The Dragon Palace does obey the Emperor, but it does not obey the Imperial Court. The Dragon King may respect the elders, but they will never obey the orders of the Cabinet. But the Heavenly Palace is not like that.

The Heaven Court has no territorial waters, nor any "exclusive economic zone". All land under heaven belongs to the king, and the waves that secular power could not reach in the past are also under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Court.

Down to the deep sea, up to the deep space. The universe is full of everything. This is the goal that the Heavenly Court wants to achieve.

If we can't even completely tame the Dragon Palace at our doorstep, let alone the vast sea of ​​stars.

In this operation, Longgong was the most enthusiastic - because this matter was related to the interests of Longgong.

[I wonder if this is an attempt by Ryugu to gain territory on the shore.]

"It's hard for me to say." Shang Luo said as he sorted out his packages. "No matter what, this matter will eventually be brought to the Heavenly Court for a verdict. But since the Dragon Palace is so proactive, I hope they can reveal more information about themselves in the process."

【Oh, by the way, did you notice? In the past, Nanyang was similar to the Dragon Palace. The people of Nanyang were easy to talk to, but they lived far away overseas, and the imperial court did not govern Nanyang. But now a bigger goal has emerged, and the "independence" that belonged to Nanyang in the past has become less important now. 】

"I hope that we can reach such a solution with Dragon Palace in the end. However, it seems a bit difficult." Shangluo shook his head. "Nanyang and we completely eliminated the border because we both participated in the Ascension Plan. As for Dragon Palace, we also have to find some plans that Dragon Palace can fully devote themselves to."

[So what does the Dragon Palace want? What does the invisible hand want? ]

"You can't see it if they don't make a move. But once they make a move, that invisible hand will no longer be invisible." Shang Luo put the bag back on his back and said, "Okay, it's packed. Apollonia, help me call the others in the group so they can get ready to go. Phaethon will go with me."

[She had already left the house. How could she be waiting for you to call her? She went to the intersection to feed the dog.]

"She is really enjoying herself at home. Even the police dog at the door has gotten to know her. I might as well go there. I ate their sticky rice the other day, but I haven't thanked them yet. Before I leave this time, I'll thank them first."
