Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1423: Evernight Star (2)

Pushing open the door, the atmosphere inside the door was quiet and solemn. Lucy saw a figure standing with his back to her by the narrow window. It was the Emperor of Adahua Planet, her father, Orfasis, who had the title of King of Justice.

This silhouette was once majestic and noble, but now it was somewhat bleak. Lucy's heart suddenly trembled. It turned out that her father, who had always been domineering and domineering, had unknowingly aged.

He turned around and a smile broke out on Orfasis's tired face. "You're coming, boy."

Lucy bowed softly and walked over. "Father, did the meeting not go smoothly?"

Orfasis sighed, "The situation on Earth is worse than I thought. The Kidds have actually joined the battle. The Duke's situation there is not very smooth. Marquis Rowan actually proposed to withdraw his troops at today's meeting. The reason is that the Kidds' participation in the battle exceeds our previous predictions. I'm afraid it will cause us unnecessary losses."

"Retreat? How can that be?" Lucy whispered.

"Of course not," Orfasis snorted. "Once the troops are withdrawn, what will the entire alliance think of us? That's why I rejected this one on the spot. Therefore, the only options left were to maintain the status quo and increase the input of troops. The former did not talk about it, while the latter did. At present, our troop distribution is basically saturated. Apart from maintaining the security of the interstellar defense line and the Garter Domain, only the troops from our home planet can be deployed.

"

"But once we draw out the forces of the parent planet, our defenses will inevitably drop."

"That's right, that's also why Luo Wen and the others strongly oppose it. However, they never thought that the longer the earth drags on, the greater our consumption will be." Orfasis waved his hand and smiled, "Stop talking. Let's leave this problem to the table. Tell me about your matter. It's the Son of Twilight who has made a breakthrough to meet me so urgently?"

Lucy smiled bitterly and said, "Our scholars have studied the problem of the Son of Twilight for so long, how could it be so easy for me to solve it? However, I have found some clues and want to personally go to a planet to take a look."

"You can't be taking this opportunity to run to see him, right?" Orfasis half-joked and asked, "Which planet are you going to?"

"Mubes Domain, Eternal Night Star No. Y26483."

Orfasis was startled. "You're going to the Mubes Domain. That's not a good place. Wait a minute." He looked up at the dome and said, "Jerry, pull up the information on Planet Y26483 in the Mubes Domain."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhongzhi Nao's gentle voice sounded from the dome.

Adahua Planet divided the universe into nine star domains, each of which was divided into multiple sectors to identify the exact location of the planet. Of the nine star domains, the Garter Domain was undoubtedly the most prosperous. As for the Mubes Domain, it was the oldest. Scholars in Adahua Planet even thought that it was the singularity of the universe.

Very quickly, some light pierced through the edges of Orfasis's body, interweaving into an image. A moment later, a dead planet appeared in the room, surrounded by explanatory words about the internal situation of the planet. Looking at these words, Orfasis's expression gradually became serious. "Child, I hope you've seen the information on Evernight Star." This was a planet that was about to come to an end. The planet's interior was filled with all sorts of disastrous climates. Not to mention, the remaining planet natives were exceptionally evil and ferocious. We originally had a research base on this planet, but now most of its personnel have been withdrawn. Only a few academics and an army of about a hundred are stationed there, but they will soon withdraw as well. "

"That's why I have to go immediately. According to the information, there is an extremely ancient temple on Evernight. This is the temple I want to investigate. I have to hurry there before the planet is destroyed. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll miss some important clues."

"Since you insist, then fine." Orfasis said seriously, "I will send a team to protect you. You can always move freely. But if they decide that the situation is critical, I will allow them to bring you back by all means."

Lucy hesitated.

"Don't worry, they're absolutely reliable. They're only here for your safety. They won't interfere too much with what you're going to do," Orfasis said.

"Alright then, but I want to bring Angeloni with me."

"That bodyguard of yours? No problem. Promise me, son. The clues are important, but your safety is even more important."

Lucy nodded.

After she left, Orfasis raised his head and said to Zhi Nao, "Let Marquis Mainne come and see me."

Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door. With Great Emperor's permission, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. With a gentle smile on his face, he knelt down like the wind towards Orfasis and said, "Your Majesty, Mainne is here at your command."

"Marquis, Lucy is going to planet Evernight. The child's safety can only be left to you. Can you take care of her for me?"

Mainne put away his smile and said solemnly, "The Golden Rose will protect the successor of every generation of the Golden Rose, be it the Heavenly Decoration or the commoner in cloth. Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if the Golden Rose clan dies, it will not let His Highness Lucy lose a hair!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you. If you need anything, let the Minister of State arrange it for you."

Mainne clenched his fists and hammered his chest before retreating.

It was night, and Marquis Rowan returned to his mansion with a face full of exhaustion. The butler did not say, "Master, Princess Rica and Her Highness O 'Carrie are visiting. The madam is in the lobby."

Richard was Rowan's younger sister. Rowan loved this younger sister the most, Awu Jiwu. He loved Ocari as his own daughter, and he would never see this little niece suffer any grievances. Hearing that the two of them were visiting, Luo Wen gave up on the idea of resting and walked towards the main hall.

The two women in the hall talked happily, while the girl beside them was sullen. Marquis Rowan laughed heartily and walked into the hall. "Who made our Miss O 'Carrie unhappy? Tell me, Uncle, to stand up for you."

When O 'Carrie saw the Marquis hurriedly stand up, she stuck out her tongue and said, "That man has a great background, and I'm afraid you won't be able to offend him, Uncle."

"Nonsense," said Rowan with a stiff face, "there's nothing in the City of Gold that I have to retreat from. Even the Duke has to ask."

O 'Carrie frowned. "Then teach Lucy a lesson for me."

"Your Highness Lucy?" Luo Wen smiled bitterly, "That's not a problem that you can't afford to provoke. Your uncle won't blindly interfere in your child's quarrel."

"What quarrel? That Lucy slapped me twice. Uncle, can you just forget it?"

"What?" Rowan's eyes turned cold. "She dares to slap you in the face. That's too arrogant. Then I'm going to ask Great Emperor. Isn't O 'Carrie his child?"

At this moment, a woman stood up, but it was Princess Lika. She first glared at O 'Carrie and snorted, "You've learned to spout at such a young age. Why didn't you tell your uncle that you insulted him first? Get down here and don't be embarrassed here."

O 'Carrie's face was filled with indignation, but when she glared at her mother again, she did not dare to retort, and could only leave the hall. Marquis Luo Wen had an awkward expression on his face. Fortunately, Princess Rica had told him the truth. Otherwise, if he went to cause trouble, he would only end up making a fool of himself.

Princess Rica looked at her brother and shook her head with a smile. "Big brother, how old are you? You're still so impulsive. You've offended quite a few people over the years, but you can't offend anyone else this time. That's why I hurriedly chased after this little fellow when I heard that he came looking for you."

'"I was indeed reckless. I didn't know the reason. If I had left a bad impression on His Majesty because of this, then I would have lost more than I got." Rowan said embarrassedly.

The princess, who looked somewhat similar to Luo Wen, smiled and said, "Your Majesty is fine, but if you hold a grudge against the Golden Rose Family, then it will be very difficult for our family to walk in the Golden City."

"Golden Rose?" Luo Wen frowned and said, "They have disappeared for many years. Whether this clan exists or not remains to be seen."

Princess Rica shook her head, "There is no doubt that they are still alive and well, and they are respectful to O 'Carrie. Big brother, it seems that Golden Rose is not joking to swear to support every heir to the Golden Rose."

"Are you saying that the Golden Rose has appeared again?" Marquis Luo Wen frowned and said, "This is not good news. No one knows how deep this family's foundation is. If they consider it an enemy, then it will not be easy."

"This is another reason why I rushed here. The Golden Rose supports His Highness for fear that His Highness would hate O 'Carrie and even cause the ancient family to harm our family." Princess Rica mocked herself, "Maybe I was thinking too much. The Golden Rose shouldn't be fighting because of the children, right?"

"That's impossible, but the successor of this term is the royal family. I'm afraid that they will support His Highness on the surface, but in reality, they will use the name of the royal family to open the door for their convenience." Rowan frowned. "And if His Highness has the support of the Golden Rose, our little Carrie will not be as dazzling as her. In this way, many of our plans, such as the marriage, will be affected."

"Moreover, His Majesty's affection for her is clearly above the other princes and emperors. I am very worried that another Great Empress will appear in Golden City in the future."

"Then let the Great Empress disappear before she succeeds to the throne," Luo Wen's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness.

The two women in the hall were shocked. Princess Rica said, "Big brother, don't talk nonsense. However, His Majesty is too kind to Lucy. I heard that the empress is leaving Adahua Planet, so His Majesty arranged for someone to protect her. How could the other princes and empress have such privileges?"

"Lucy's leaving Adahua Planet? Where?"

"I heard that she's going to a planet called Evernight in the Mubes Domain. It's a desolate place. I really don't understand what she's going to do there."

Luo Wen smiled and said, "We don't care what she goes there for, but there aren't many chances to leave Adahua Planet like this. It's normal that something unexpected happens on the interstellar journey. Even the Empress might not be able to return, right?"

"Big brother, what do you mean?" Princess Rica shook her head and said, "No, it's too risky."

'"How can we not take risks if we want to achieve something big? Or think about it, if our O' Carrie can become an empress, then our family will prosper for generations. But as long as His Highness is here, this wish will never come true!" Said Rowan.
