Quickly wear: There are always those who are not afraid of death and want to torture me

Raiche V is 68 years old this year. He looks like an old man with white hair and white beard and good energy.

He suffered from a disease three years ago, and the current medical technology of the empire was simply not enough to cure him.

From then on, he pinned his hopes on ancient legends.Send people from the First Research Institute to the mysterious Sea of ​​Shark Tears to find the whereabouts of the mermaid who can grant humans eternal life.

The result did not disappoint him. Professor Peel from the First Research Institute developed a medicine based on the body of the mermaid, which cured his illness.

But human desires are endless, and Rachel V's eyes soon fell on a page called "Eternal Life".

However, this time he did not get the result.

The mermaid's heart is solidified and no force can open it.After several times of pressure, Selene got tired and told him directly: "If your Majesty really believes in the legend of eternal life, then just swallow the mermaid's heart and test it."

Such disrespectful remarks made Raiche V furious, but after the anger passed, he could not do anything.

The temptation of eternal life is powerful, but there is too much uncertainty behind it.He didn't dare to gamble.

As for Selene Peel, he is an irreplaceable talent for the Empire and can only be rewarded but not punished.

Today's banquet was held to celebrate the breakthrough contributions made by the laboratory led by Professor Peel in regenerative technology.

Facing this arrogant and unruly researcher, Lei Qie V looked warm on the outside, but was very dissatisfied in his heart.But he has to look good in front of others so that they can continue to work for him.

So he is conflicted in his heart.

As usual, before the banquet begins, the king will give a speech to praise everyone at the institute for their outstanding contributions to the empire and the people.

Then everyone raised their glasses and toasted, and the dinner officially began.

It was said that it was a dinner party, but it was actually more like a cocktail party. There were many dignitaries of the day present, including people from the army who were invited, and Mussel was one of them.

On such occasions, socializing is inevitable.No matter how unhappy Selene was, she had to bite the bullet in order to achieve her plan.

When Mo Qin found the elegant and elegant professor with black hair and blue eyes in the crowd, he was requesting permission from King Lei Qie V to research the mermaid heart.

Mussel was also nearby listening to their conversation. When Selene said, "Which would your Majesty prefer to have? The secret of eternal life or a gorgeous ornament?", he made a mocking cry from his throat. Sneak lightly.

Mo Qin stood not far from him with a wine glass in his hand, glanced at him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He stepped forward and spoke proactively: "General Harmans, you seem to have a strong opinion of Professor Peel."

Mussel took a sip of wine and said calmly: "It's just a disagreement."

"I heard that you were also fascinated by the professor - when you were working together on a ship." Mo Qin mentioned it calmly.

The man's voice paused and said casually: "I was just temporarily blinded by his appearance." There was a hint of disgust in the words, as if mentioning this matter was such an insult to him.

"But Professor Peel has indeed made great contributions to the interests of the empire, hasn't he? I don't understand why you hate him so much. Is it because we have a bad personal relationship?"

Mussel replied calmly, but with strong perseverance in his tone: "No interests should be based on principles that violate human nature."

His answer ended abruptly here, and those who didn't know the inside story might not be able to hear what it meant.

Mo Qin just raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he understood and didn't want to go into details.Wu Zi took a sip of wine.

Mussel did not pursue the topic further.His eyes turned to Mo Qin again.

The young man was a head shorter than him, and his eyes moved down just to fall on the other person's long dark blue hair.

Asked: "Your Excellency Tixi is from Haicheng?"

Mo Qin nodded: "Yes. I am an orphan and grew up by the sea. If I hadn't been favored by His Highness, I might still be a fisherman."

Mussel's eyes passed over his white and delicate hand holding the wine glass, and he started chatting like a casual chat: "The Port of Herries should be very busy at this time, after all, the fishing season is here. I remember that there are people near Herries. A restaurant where they make delicious fish cakes. Have you tasted it before, Mr. Tixi?"

Mo Qin's eyes turned slightly and he said calmly: "General, you have a very good memory. Have you been to Haicheng before?"

Mussel smiled and said, "I was stationed there for a few months."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words. Mo Qin saw that Selene had finished talking, and her cold and expressionless face now had a hint of solemnity.There was a calculation in my heart.He bowed to Mussel, turned his toes and walked towards Selene.

Selene changed into a dark tuxedo and a light tie today.The deep blue sea-like eyes were slightly squinted, revealing a sense of depth and mystery.The whole person's temperament was made even more cold and restrained by such an outfit, which attracted frequent glances from some of the nobles present.

"Professor, are you all right?"

Selene raised her head and saw a familiar face with a sunny smile.

The blue-haired young man walked up to him, touched his glass lightly with the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Today is your big day, and this celebration banquet is also held for you. Why are you still looking so serious? You It’s time to be happy.”

Selene had always disliked such occasions that required social interaction. If it hadn't been for the royal invitation, he wouldn't have wanted to come.

Just now, the king denied his request again.

"Professor Peel, you can't even extract the ingredients of the Mermaid Heart. Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to research anything in another ten years, so what's the use?" When he said this, Rachel V There seemed to be a look of disdain on his face.

This made Selene extremely angry, but she couldn't vent it out in front of Mo Qin.

I could only lower my voice and say: "His Majesty the King has not allowed me to continue studying the mermaid heart, Tixi, I don't know what to do next."

Like a man in trouble, he needs the comfort of his partner.

When the young man heard this, he also showed a sad look on his face: "Really, that's a pity."

He walked to the long table, picked up a glass of fruit wine and came to Selene, comforting him and saying: "It's okay, there will definitely be opportunities. His Majesty the King disagrees, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I will talk to His Highness Rosser Please explain it carefully. Don’t be sad.”

"Today is a good day for you, be happy, professor. Drink something sweet and you will be in a good mood." As he said this, he handed the cup in his hand out, and a sweet smile bloomed on his beautiful face.

What Selene was waiting for was his guarantee.

If Lei Qie V's side doesn't work, then the bridge between Tixi and the Crown Prince is the last chance.

Seeing the pure smile on the young man's face and the undisguised admiration in his eyes, Selene took the fruit wine, took a sip and slowly revealed a perfect smile:

"Thank you, Tixi. You're right, I feel better."
