Mu Xingshuang: So which kingdom of God are we going to now, right?

Lin Xinglin: That's right. After all, that's where you were born. Don't be so nervous. The natives there have been sent for treatment.

As he spoke, Lin Xinglin opened a space door and walked in with Mu Xingshuang.

Then when they entered, they saw Charlotte, who was organizing documents at high speed while typing replies to messages in several groups.

Charlotte: Ahhhh, so busy! So busy! So busy!

Lin Changye said while drinking tea: Since you still have a way to complain, it means you don’t feel busy at all. If you really felt busy, you would have cried and begged me to help you a long time ago.

Note: Charlotte also prepared the tea.

Charlotte said with a smile on her face: Hahaha, as long as I stay near you, Your Majesty, my physical strength is unlimited!

Lin Changye: ...I won’t care about the muscle soreness afterwards. Anyway, I leave this place to you. I will take them two to meet up with the others.

As he spoke, Lin Changye left the temporary desk and led the two towards their destination.

At this moment, Lin Xinglin keenly noticed that Charlotte's cheeks were a little red and there was a slight smell of alcohol in the air.

Lin Xinglin widened his eyes and said: ...Brother, did you give Charlotte alcohol?

Lin Changye just took out a small bottle of wine and said: Rose distilled liquor, Charlotte's favorite wine. Of course, she could only take one sip, otherwise she would fall asleep.

Lin Xinglin: No wonder she looks weird... That kind of energy doesn't seem like her at all.

Lin Changye: To some extent, she was not wrong because their recovery speed would be faster when they stayed near me, but after that her muscles would definitely be so sore that she would be unable to move.

Lin Xinglin: ...So why did you let her drink?

While shouting, Lin Xinglin jumped up and gave Lin Changye a flying kick.

However, Lin Changye simply dodged to the side and caught Lin Xinglin and put her on the ground.

Lin Xinglin:…….

Lin Changye rubbed her head and said: Good boy, you have never kicked me since you were a child.

Mu Xingshuang:…….

Lin Changye: By the way, don’t be so timid. I’ll give this to you for safekeeping.

As he spoke, Lin Changye handed the broken Sword in the Stone wrapped in cloth to Mu Xingshuang.

Mu Xingshuang took the Sword in the Stone, blinked her eyes and said blankly: "... It's so strange. I have a familiar feeling, as if I have touched this sword at the beginning."

Lin Changye: Don’t think too much. This sword is the Excalibur, which was made before the End. We’ll tell you the details later. Anyway, this time they found fragments of the Excalibur in the cultivation vault, and this may be related to your birth.

Mu Xingshuang: Is that why you brought me here?

Lin Changye nodded and said: That's right, but you don't have to be too nervous. What happened to you just now was a provocation to us, so we will protect you no matter what.

As he spoke, Lin Changye gently rubbed Mu Xingshuang's head.

Mu Xingshuang held the Sword in the Stone and asked: What should I do then?

Lin Changye: Well, that’s a good question. Just treat it as a temporary off-campus teaching opportunity. After all, broadening your horizons is quite important.

Lin Xinglin: I agree. You haven’t left the battleship many times, so even if it’s just for sightseeing, it’s a great gain. You see, this architectural style is not found on the battleship.

As he spoke, Mu Xingshuang pulled Mu Xingshuang to appreciate the sculptures and buildings nearby.

Mu Xingshuang: Oh, it looks so gorgeous.

When the two were sightseeing

Lin Changye said to the empty space beside him: Is there any other sight?

Then a spot of light appeared, blocking out other sounds, and then Chu Yunqi's voice floated out from the spot of light.

Chu Yunqi: No, please rest assured that I will not let any accidents happen again. The elves are also very motivated. After all, there are not many children who are so innocent and pure.

Lin Changye: From my point of view, it’s not a good thing that she is too naive. Forget it. Things will work out when the time comes. If there is any problem, I will help her. Let’s not talk about this for now. How’s the situation over there?

Chu Yunqi: It’s okay. With Luo Xiaoyao and Lilith around, no one dares to have any opinions about us. The only problem is that Luo Xiaoyao’s appearance is so funny that it’s very difficult to hold back from laughing.

Lin Changye: ...Give that guy some face. There's no problem on your side, right?

Chu Yunqi: It’s OK. Apart from those idiots being too noisy and causing Luo Xiaoyao to let out his murderous intent and crush them, things went fairly smoothly. However, this outfit is really inconvenient to move in... and my head is so heavy.

Lin Changye: Just bear with it. After all, you have to hide your identity, this is the only way.

Chu Yunqi: I really envy the big bat for not having to cover itself at all.

Lin Changye said as he forwarded a message: Lilith probably didn't allow her to cover it, right? Okay, I'll leave that to you guys. Please take care of the surveillance here.

Chu Yunqi: Okay, Your Majesty.

After saying that, the light spot hid again and waited for Lin Changye to call.

After waiting for the soundproofing to take effect, Lin Changye walked towards the two people who were really sightseeing and said: Hey, you two, it’s almost time to go down and prepare to go down to the secret passage!

Mu Xingshuang said subconsciously: But I haven’t finished reading it yet!

Lin Changye: ...Do you really think you are here for fun? This secret passage is not short and it will take some time to get to the bottom.

Mu Xingshuang: Oh, then how do we find the secret passage?

Lin Changye: Of course someone will lead us.

As he spoke, Lin Changye pointed at Asta who was standing in front of him.

Asta simply bowed and said: I will lead the way, Your Majesty.

Lin Changye nodded and said: I leave it to you.

Asta: Yes!

As he spoke, Asta inserted the dagger into a pattern on the floor. Then the tiles on the floor moved inward one by one, revealing a hidden spiral staircase.

Asta: Please be careful, this staircase is decorative in nature and may not be stable. If you fall down, you may fall into an alien space, so please be careful.

Lin Changye: Let’s go.

After saying that, Lin Changye was the first to step onto the stairs and started walking down. Next came Mu Xingshuang who was holding the hand of Lin Xinglin, and finally Asta.

After walking some distance

Lin Changye: How long will it take to reach the bottom?

Asta used a soundproof spell card and said: It will take about five minutes. Black Nightmare will be waiting for us at the destination. But Captain, is it really okay for us to take this long detour?

Lin Changye: Taking a detour might also be a shortcut. Judging from the power of the power just now, it shows that she has no aversion to it at all, and it can even be said that she is close to it.

Asta: So that's why you let me take this secret passage that's farthest from my destination?

Lin Changye: Yes, Xiaoxing was with me at first so she didn’t notice any problems. But later she subconsciously broke away from Xiaoxing’s protection. Although Xiaoxing quickly protected her, you should know what divine power is.

Asta: It is a special energy with the force of rules. To put it simply, it is a high-intensity energy with a small amount of rule force. However, ordinary people cannot withstand this energy, even though it is not difficult for us.

Lin Changye: That’s why I asked you to find a longer way. Maybe she is hiding something that we don’t know.

Asta: After all, something like that just happened, so we have to be on guard, but is it really okay to leave the Great Elf next to her?

Lin Changye: Anyway, these elves ignored everyone until Yunqi spoke. Have you noticed any changes compared to this?

Asta: ...No, I didn't feel anything. Maybe we haven't gone deep enough? Of course, if you give me the authority to release it, I might find something.

As Asta said this, he spread his hands helplessly.

Lin Changye waved his hand and said: No need. If you lose control, I will have to knock you down, which will be more troublesome. How far do we have to go?

Asta: We are almost at the end. After we reach the end, we will follow the passage through a few forks and reach our destination. It will take about half an hour, but I have to admit that their safety measures are very good. The passage has a no-fly zone and restricted space capabilities. If it weren't for my hound's ability to travel through time and space, we would not be able to explore so quickly.

Just at this moment a message popped up.

Xi Qiling: @All, everyone, I have collected some interesting information. After analyzing the divine aura, I found several suspects who went there.

Luo Xiaoyao: How many gods have you made deals with? How could you lock them down in such a short time?

Xi Qiling: Facts have proven that being an intelligence dealer is never a loss. By the way, let me upload the list first.

Xiqiling: list.pdf.

Feng Xiaoyu: There are many famous people, right? But as far as I know, these people don’t have any special relationship.

Luo Xiaoyao: There are several bosses from the Divine Kingdom right here with me. I’ll go and ask them.

Lin Changye: I also discovered that the little girl is very close to the divine power here and she is familiar with the Sword in the Stone.

Li Yisheng: Then our hypothesis is valid. The birth of the little girl is closely related to the Sword in the Stone.

Chu Yunqi: But it was just a sword and all they got were fragments.

Lin Changye: But it’s not surprising that the sword was made by Zhongyan himself, so it’s a little special.

Luo Xiaoyao: Anyway, at least one problem has been solved. But we now have a bigger problem. I asked the leaders to ask their subordinates, but those people disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, and it was after Chu Yunqi's Soul Sword went out of control.

Ashtar: So there is a connection between them, right?

Xi Qiling: I received new news! Several people on the list suddenly ran away when they were halfway through purchasing intelligence, and my subordinates couldn't contact them.

Feng Xiaoyu: The situation here is a little different. I deliberately went near someone on the list and he immediately came to me to do business. He bought some forging materials and it was quite generous. He even suddenly ordered more materials from me and stopped talking!

Feng Xiaoyu: List.pdf.

Lin Changye: It seems that they are not of one mind.

Xi Qiling: ...What are the materials in this list? I can understand Mithril, but what is White Tiger Yuanjin?

Luo Xiaoyao: A very rare material for making weapons, of which even I don’t have much. By the way, this thing is usually used to make weapons, and usually swords.

Asta: So let me make a bold guess. Do they want to repair the Sword in the Stone?

Luo Xiaoyao: It’s hard to say. After all, it was built by Zhongyan and it’s hard to say whether it can be repaired.

Lin Changye: It's no use what Zhongyan said. If she wants to repair the Sword in the Stone, she either has to do it herself or gather all the fragments and then inject some energy into it, and the Sword in the Stone will automatically be repaired.

Luo Xiaoyao: ...What on earth did she put into that sword?

Lin Changye: It's normal. The Sword in the Stone is a tool she uses to select its owner. It's normal for it to have a higher durability.

Xi Qiling: Are they trying to use this method to make Zhongyan choose the little girl?

Asta: Use the Sword in the Stone to cultivate artificial humans so that they are compatible with the Sword in the Stone?

Lin Changye: But this is useless. After all, the Sword in the Stone is just a filter. In the end, it all depends on Zhongyan's mood and hobbies.

Luo Xiaoyao: ...So to put it bluntly, I scored full marks on the test but wrote the wrong answer on the test paper.

Anna: Haha, Xiaoyao, you are so mean. At least other people’s operation is pretty good, right?

Luo Xiaoyao: ...Boss, as long as you are happy, but now that you have spoken, the answer is certain.

Lin Changye: +1.

Xi Qiling: +2. By the way, now that the answer is already given, should I continue?

Luo Xiaoyao: I think it’s okay. After all, so many gods suddenly disappeared, which made those guys quite nervous. You can take this opportunity to earn some favors.

Xi Qiling: Greedy emoticon package, hehe, debts of favor are my favorite!

Luo Xiaoyao: Okay, give me your contact information and I’ll tell them later.

Xi Qiling: OK, let’s chat privately.
