Magic Underachiever

After clarifying Da Liang's attitude towards the Marcellus dispute, Speaker Peters quietly left the Avenue des Elysees and boarded the airship leaving Saroyan.

The important figures of the parliamentary forces have also left Marcellus in recent days. The Marcellus Free Government has quietly established itself in the Felwood United States and officially took over the command of the parliamentary army and began the final preparations for war.

Marquis Whitehead certainly knew that the current parliament was only an empty shell, and those who remained were grassroots staff, excluded members of parliament, and remotely controlled deputies. But the marquis did not prevent the backbone of the parliamentary forces from leaving. Before the Marcellus Treaty was formally abolished, Marcellus was still a province of the empire, and the ruling power of the province was in the hands of the parliament. The governor of Marcellus could only manage military defense.

If members of the parliament were arrested without reason, they would inevitably be used by the parliamentary forces to incite the anti-imperial sentiment of the people of Marcellus. Besides, the Marcellus problem cannot be solved by arresting a few parliamentarians. Catching Peters may not be of much benefit to the empire, but will cause a lot of trouble.

In short... the empire and the parliament are maintaining the last bit of tranquility in Marcellus. Even if there is only a layer of paper between them and the war, both sides must smile at each other before the last day.

Daliang got the approximate date of the outbreak of the Marcellus War from Speaker Peters. A year is enough for him to do something else.

And the most urgent thing to invest energy in... is the ancient prison that the Scarab Company is looking for.

Sir Charles didn't know that Daliang had sold him and Duncan out. At this time, their every move was under the surveillance of the Scarab Company.

Charles, Jessica, and Duncan formed a team to participate in the expedition organized by the Scarab Company. Then Charles took out the clues and information given by Duncan and successfully obtained the formation and leadership of an expedition team.

At this time, the Scarab Company showed the strength of a super company.

Charles recruited 14 explorers to form an expedition team, and the Scarab Company equipped them with a logistics and escort team of 270 people. This does not include the temporary personnel and armed personnel used for equipment transportation during the expedition.

In addition, the Scarab Company also prepared two airships for Charles' expedition team, and more than ten ships of various types were also gathering to explore the sea area, including a cruise ship specially for the expedition members to rest.

In the expedition organized by the Scarab Company, there were a total of 18 expedition teams of Charles' size, and dozens of other small-scale teams. The investment of the Scarab Company this time was unprecedentedly huge. Since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, there has been no excavation of ancient ruins comparable to this one.

The Scarab Company really spent a lot of money this time, and even had the determination to spend all its decades of wealth on this expedition.

The Ghost Sea got its name because ships often disappeared here, and the entire sea area is more than 10 million square kilometers. Not only are there islands everywhere with complex terrain, but pirates often appear here... It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a space entrance in such a vast sea.

If it were easy to find the ancient prison, with the strength of Gazing into the Abyss, there would be no need to rely on the power of the Scarab Company.

The two airships carrying the expedition team descended and docked with the cruise ship parked on the sea. The expedition members and employees carrying luggage walked into the cruise ship along the docking board.

The check-in of more than 200 people made the originally deserted cruise ship immediately lively.

Sir Charles directed the employees to move the equipment and allocated rooms for everyone. During this time, he gave two separate room cards to Duncan and Jessica, and then whispered: "You go to your respective rooms to rest first, and come to my room after dinner, and we will discuss where to start this expedition.

Duncan, tell your people not to get close to here. Scarab Company has invested so much in this expedition, and will definitely guard against other people's secret robbery. Before we find the ancient prison, Scarab Company must not have any suspicion."

After taking the room card, Duncan replied to Charles: "I know what to do... Staring into the Abyss is best at hiding itself. My people disguised as a group of pirates hiding on an island, without my order, they will never approach the sea where the expedition team is located.

You should consider how to find the ancient prison."

"Finding ancient ruins is my job." Charles turned to Jessica and said: "Take care of yourself, I always feel that this expedition will not be so smooth..."

"Don't worry, sir... I have Hurricane." Jessica patted Hurricane's head.

At this time, Hurricane was wearing armor disguised as a mechanical puppet dog. It squatted beside Jessica, with its head reaching Jessica's shoulders. After being patted on the head, he still wagged his tail.

After seeing Hurricane through the magic crystal ball, Da Liang couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Hurricane is becoming more and more like a dog. After this mission is completed, let Astro take good care of it. A dragon should behave like a dragon."

Sophia covered her mouth and smiled, "Lord Hurricane is only like this in front of the master and Miss Jessica. In front of other people, he is still very majestic.

This also shows that Lord Hurricane really likes Miss Jessica.

And the new feeling we have for Miss Jessica is not like the descendants of His Highness who are separated by many generations."

After hearing what Sophia said, Daliang also noticed the strange interaction between Jessica and Huan Huan. The undead's sense of smell for blood is much higher than that of humans. They can tell who your ancestors are by smelling your scent, so the undead will not harm Jessica. But it's a bit hard to understand why the undead, especially the undead directly affiliated with the Great Tomb, are so close to Jessica.

After all, after more than two thousand years and countless generations of dilution, how much of her own blood can Jessica still have?

But the undead couldn't tell the specific reason. They were loyal to Daliang and his family, and they were close to Jessica because of the soul fire brand.

There must be some secrets about Jessica that I don't know about.

Da Liang looked through the crystal ball at Jessica, who was leading Hurricane in the cruise ship, and said to Sophia: "Cindy said that there is an elemental elf next to Jessica. Let this elemental elf reveal itself as soon as possible. It may know that we don't. things.

Then let Minia drive our airship transfer station to the ghost sea to help find the entrance to the space prison.

There are also other expedition teams of the Scarab Company, all of which have sent people to keep an eye on...

Their heavy investment in searching for ancient ruins has seriously affected the Scarab Company's business system. It won't be long before the Scarab Company is brought down by this excavation of ancient ruins. This shows that the Scarab Company on the Order Star is... useless to Elisa and the others.

It also means that the Star Alliance wormhole station will be opened soon.

We need to find the headquarters of the Scarab Company before the Wormhole Station opens. "

"Yes, Your Highness!"
