I have a Synthesizer

Having said that, she turned and walked into the hall.

“It's been a long time since something exciting happened to me, Kukasairo. I'm really looking forward to these little fellows going to Grandok, causing me some trouble.

Even if it's just a performance, life is really too boring.”

Kukasairo watched the Empress leave, feeling somewhat complicated. For so many years, the Empress had hardly paid attention to the affairs of the country, with most matters being handled by the ministers of the military and political departments.

And those terrorist organizations and cults, although they had been carrying out terrorist activities and attacks, had never said anything about overthrowing the Tairrella royal family, as if there was a kind of inexplicable tacit understanding.

In Kukasairo's impression, the Empress lived a very boring life every day. She never cultivated, and every day she just ate and slept, occasionally reading some novels and newspapers.

Just like she said, she seemed to have no interest in anything. The last time the Empress was very happy seemed to be when Is attacked the imperial capital.

Watching the Empress's departing back, Kukasairo thought to himself.

“What exactly are you expecting?”

… …

Klein and the others obediently followed Fakis and the others out of the palace, not daring to even fart once during the period.

After leaving the palace, Klein finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not only him, but everyone else was the same, all with a relieved expression.

Although the Empress didn't say anything harsh, she always gave people a kind of inexplicably strong pressure, which was no longer as simple as the aura of a superior.

Although he couldn't feel any energy, just her standing there gave people a great sense of oppression, and that feeling always lingered. Klein felt that he could only发挥 (fā huī - exert, display) half of his ability in front of the Empress.

Just as Klein was calming down, Eric stood over.

“Hey, Klein, do you remember that First Princess Qianhua?”

Klein had wanted to ask Eric about this person before, but he didn't have time. He nodded and said:

“The one we met in the cafeteria, of course I remember. I recited a few poems praising women to evaluate her at the time, and then she heard it.”

Eric immediately nodded and said softly:

“Would you say we offended her at the time? She's a princess, will she give us trouble?”

Klein raised his eyebrows. When it came to making trouble, he now held the power of the entire team's meals.

“She's giving me trouble? Heh, I am the one in charge of eating and drinking. If she dares to be impolite to me, then she won't have any food today.”

Eric looked at Klein somewhat suspiciously.

“You still dare not give the princess food? Isn't that a bit too bold? After all, she's the daughter of His Majesty. I didn't even dare to look at her directly when I was next to His Majesty just now. My legs went weak when she walked past me.”

Actually, Klein also had the situation Eric described, but he wasn't so不堪 (bù kān - unbearable, terrible) that his legs went weak.

“His Majesty is powerful, but the princess isn't the Empress. I'm afraid of her? She can just not eat all the way.”

“This isn't a stick, this is food, it's just that it's harder.”

Eric waved the stick in his hand, and broke a small tree seedling on the side of the road with one blow. He wanted to laugh again, but he didn't dare to be too loud.

“Eat this as food? Are you serious?”

“Must be serious, such a large team, I'm the only arcanist, some magic fluctuations, it's normal that the bread I make isn't delicious.”

In this way, the two of them muttered all the way, following Fakis to the Tairrella Royal Prison, to hand over the prisoners escorted for this mission.

After the 11 prisoners were released, one of the men with long hair, but still relatively clean, looked up at the sky and sighed slightly.

“I haven't seen the sun for 2 years, I can finally go home. I didn't expect that I could be exchanged back.”

Not only him, but the other prisoners also showed a hint of relief.

Among these people, all the mages had their magic pools destroyed and were handcuffed with magic-sealing chains, while the warriors had their hands and feet broken, leaving their hands and feet in a semi-healed state.

Between the two countries, there is no such thing as treating prisoners well, and there is no possibility of peace talks. The hatred accumulated over generations is not something that can be eliminated in a short period of time.

Tairrella also cannot release these prisoners unharmed and continue to cause harm to Tairrella. The same is true on the Grandok side.

After completing the handover procedures, Fakis led the team and began to escort the prisoners to the train station.

They had to first take a train to the Eastern Territory, and then directly cross the border line and enter Grandok's interior before they could go to Amadeus.

When Fakis saw that everyone was ready, she raised the staff in her hand.

“Everyone, let's go!”

… …

In the afternoon, on the train to the Eastern Territory, Becky was transferred away by Qianhua as a female official, Eric was a traveling doctor and relatively free, so only Klein was left, miserably rubbing water in the train's freight car.

Not long ago, Eric was forcibly dragged over by Klein to help him sort out the rubbed water and chat with him.

The two of them said a bunch of nonsense, and with Eric here, there were all kinds of dirty jokes, and Klein was having a good time.

At this time, Becky came to Klein's side and said.

“Ms. Fakis said that there is still food for the time being, so there is no need to prepare bread for the time being, just let you prepare 70 portions of drinking water for 3 days before the evening, as well as washing water for her and Her Highness.”

Klein angrily threw the water cup on the ground, stood up abruptly, startled Becky, and then listlessly picked up a water tank and started rubbing water into it.

“If you're angry, just be angry, why throw a cup of water that you rubbed yourself? My mentality has collapsed!”

Klein was bitter in his heart, but he still asked somewhat unconvinced:

"Don't they have water mages accompanying them? Why do I still have to scrub their bathwater? This is all drinking-water grade, wasting water resources is shameful. Don't they know how to set an example?"

"Lady Fachess said that because the water created by water mages is relatively dirty, even if it's boiled, it will still have a lot of impurities, so they want to use water created by arcanists, which is cleaner."

Becky looked at Klein, a little embarrassed, but she was a paladin, so even if she wanted to help, it seemed she couldn't.

Klein leaned against the carriage, helplessly saying, "Fachess, that old woman, she's so fussy!"

"Klein, if there's nothing else, I'll go back. Her Highness the Princess is still waiting for me."

Klein nodded, took out two worker bees and a ring from his pocket, and handed them to Becky.

"If there's a suitable position for the worker bees, put them in a suitable position. If not, keep them with you and use your own judgment.

There are some equipment suitable for you in the ring, as well as some other supplies. It's always good to be prepared when you're abroad."

Becky nodded. "I understand."

After Becky left, Eric stepped forward and closed the door, asking Klein.

"Taking secret photos? Are you interested in that Princess Qianhua?"

"Not particularly interested. I'm just having Becky monitor her in case of possible danger. After all, the princess is such a big target, it's normal for someone to try to assassinate her.

Oh, right, have you calculated how long it will take us to get to Amadis?"

Eric took out a map and pointed to the imperial capital.

"From the imperial capital to the Eastern Territory, it's more than 2700 kilometers. A normal journey takes about 8 days, but this is a special vehicle that won't stop, so apart from necessary maintenance stops, it should take 5-6 days to reach the Eastern Territory.

After reaching the Eastern Territory, we have to cross the border. I'm not sure how long that will take. The armies of both sides need to be notified before we can enter Grandok.

And Grandok's border is about 2500 kilometers away from their capital. This distance may take longer, because Grandok doesn't have magic-powered trains. Their means of transportation are generally horses or pack animals."

Klein sighed. The capitals of the two countries are in the center, and this distance is indeed very far. I'm afraid I'll be a handyman for a long time.

"Also, who is that Frando that His Majesty mentioned? Is he important? How was he captured?"

"Frando, honorary professor at the Royal Academy, an expert in biology and magical beasts. He has always worked for the royal family, but I'm not sure what his specific achievements are.

He was captured by Grandok during a decapitation operation. His capture caused a sensation in the imperial capital at the time, a major spy case."

Klein nodded. He had no memory of these things, probably because he had never paid attention to them.

"The First Princess is going in person, it seems this Frando is really important."

Just as Klein finished speaking, Eric denied it.

"Not really, because every 3 years, a prisoner exchange takes place, and someone who is not strong but has a very important identity must be sent to the other country.

Last time, it was Grandok's prince who came to our side. This unwritten agreement has been going on for more than a hundred years."

Okay, I've gained a lot of unknown knowledge. Although Eric is a bit unreliable, he's still trustworthy when it comes to getting things done.

Klein patted Eric on the shoulder, took out a bucket full of bright red liquid, with a strong bloody smell.

Eric looked at the bucket and immediately widened his eyes.

"Dragon blood? High-grade dragon blood, so much? Where did you get it?"

Klein raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Blood of an ultra-class dragon. As for where I got it, don't ask."

Eric immediately felt something was wrong. Klein usually doesn't give him things for nothing.

"Giving me ultra-class dragon blood for no reason? What do you want me to do? I'm telling you, I don't do bad things. Don't think a bucket of dragon blood can move me."

Although he said that, Eric's hands were very honest and he put the dragon blood away.

Klein knew that he couldn't resist the temptation of dragon blood, and continued,

"You've been working with me for so long, it's time to pay you some wages."

Eric smiled instantly when he heard this.

"So it's wages, then I'm relieved. Thank you, Boss Klein!"

After Eric happily put away the dragon blood, Klein handed him another ring.

"There are also two portions of dragon blood and two sets of equipment in here. Find a chance to give them to Lilith, and then have Lilith give Joe one."

"There are two more portions? I thought I was the only one who got it. Do you have a lot of dragon blood?"

Not much, about 100 buckets. If the ring hadn't been too small at the time, he would have stuffed the entire dragon corpse in.

Thinking of this, Klein shook his head and said:

"Dragon blood isn't that easy to get. I only got 5 buckets in total. I used one bucket myself, and you each get one bucket. I only have one bucket left for backup."

Eric looked at him suspiciously, muttering in his heart.

"Only one bucket left? Impossible. What Klein says is definitely not credible. He has at least 5 times that amount in his hands, no, 10 times. He should have 10 buckets.

No hurry, slow and steady wins the race. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask him for it later."

Klein looked at the smiling Eric with a smile. He knew that dragon blood, this high-end product, was very useful for blood demon mages, but paying wages is naturally a matter of slow and steady progress.

"The water is almost scrubbed, let Becky and the others come and get it."

PS: A total of 2 chapters were blocked, and then I was warned. I won't be driving anymore. One chapter has been unblocked, and chapter 162 is still squatting in prison. I'm so afraid of 404!
