In the Marquis Nutao's Mansion, due to too many guests coming to attend the banquet, the indoor hall was expanded to the outdoors when it was full.

The Marquis of Falling Star also went out of his way to set up billboards throughout the mansion. The most eye-catching one that can be seen everywhere is "The red wine used in this banquet at the Marquis of Raging Waves Mansion is all sponsored by Moonlight Wine."

There was also a beautiful shopping guide who handed out brochures to the guests and enthusiastically introduced the raw materials and production process of moonshine wine. The biggest gimmick is that all the water used to brew moonshine wine is collected from Moon Lake, which is the first to be brewed near the World Tree.

The spring water gushed out.

Other advertisements are also for Nutao City's flagship products. The booth area is very attractive and there are many tasting and trial activities.

A banquet that was supposed to be a political event was turned into a commercial event by Luke.

Everyone in Shuojin admires this economic acumen.

Different from the bustling banquet venue, the third floor and above of the Marquis Mansion are set up as a no-visit area. Imperial spies closely guard every passage, and even servants delivering things must undergo strict searches.

Magic detection needles can be seen everywhere here, and there are even more hidden defense equipment.

In the heavily guarded center, a meeting is taking place.

From the Moonlight Royal Court came the Moonlight Queen Qingkong and the Queen's Chief Assistant Yuexing. From the Shuojin people came Elder Mu, Elder Chun, and Pan Heyin.

Elder Mu and Elder Chun are not twins. Just like Pan is an alternate elder and Yin is just an ordinary Shuojin person, there are also differences between the twins.

Elder Mu is the chief envoy of the Shuojin Mission. He is an old man with long gray curly hair, a kind face and a very easy-going look.

Elder Chun is thin, somewhat gloomy, and has an unsmiling look. When he meets Qingkong, he just tries not to be rude and doesn't show much enthusiasm.

Fortunately, Yinhepan had informed Elder Chun of his character in advance, and Elder Mu had made the decision in this meeting, so both parties did not become unhappy as soon as they met.

The two parties prepared their meals on both sides of a rectangular table. The servants served drinks and the fruits retreated. A barrier fell from the roof, isolating the venue from the outside world.

At the beginning, Elder Shepherd asked with a smile: "Archangel Gold must have secretly visited Her Majesty the Queen and Marquis Falling Star."

The last time he saw Pan, Luke showed him the steel wings with blazing feathers. According to Pan's eyes, he could definitely tell that it was an angel alchemy tool, and he could naturally understand its meaning.

Luke laughed and said: "It's hard to refuse such hospitality! Angels are indeed extraordinary creatures with the most sense of justice. As soon as Archangel Gold arrived in St. Lun City, he eagerly came to us to discuss compensation for the destruction of the World Tree.

question.

Moreover, the attitude is extremely sincere and the compensation is extremely generous.

Sky City is even willing to build a temple in the Moonlight Palace and actually send angels to move in, so that it can not only train light magicians for the Moonlight Palace, but also protect the World Tree."

Elder Mu and Elder Chun looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh, ignorance is really ridiculous.

The Moonlight Royal Court had no idea of ​​Sky City's purpose of building a temple for them, so they did this to lure the wolf into the house for a small amount of compensation.

In addition, Sky City actually seized the opportunity, and the Shuojin people must hurry up when they want to open a World Bank branch in the Moonlight Palace.

Elder Mu withdrew his kind smile and said dissatisfiedly: "We have always believed that the Shuojin people should discuss compensation with the Moonlight Royal Court first."

Luke replied: "Originally, this was our arrangement, but we have another cooperation with Sky City. When discussing the cooperation, we talked about compensation. And it was not a formal meeting, and the compensation matters were not finalized.

.”

Elder Mu asked: "What kind of cooperation does Moonlight Royal Court have with Sky City?"

"If we tell it, I'm afraid it will make Sky City unhappy. If Elder Shepherd really wants to know, you can ask Archangel Gold. He and you both live in the palace."

Luke pretended to be hooking up with Sky City.

Anyway, I am not afraid that Elder Mu will ask Archangel Gold. An angel provoked the Queen of the Clear Sky and had her wings cut off. How can such a thing be said to outsiders casually?

Just let the Shinojin people guess.

Sure enough, the Moonlight Royal Court and Sky City cooperated in a deeper way, disrupting the Shuojin people's original plan. Although it is not yet known what their cooperation is, the angel's goal is definitely the World Tree.

In the race to obtain the artifact, the Shuojin people not only encountered a false start from their opponents, but their opponents also moved the starting line forward a long distance.

Despicable, so despicable!

Elder Shepherd cursed the angel in his heart for not following the rules, but what had happened was irreversible and he could only do his best to remedy it.

"Since it is a cooperation between Moonlight Royal Court and Sky City, it is inconvenient for us Shuojin people to ask too much. Now let's talk about World Tree...

The Shuojin people deeply regret the destruction of the World Tree. Although all the Shuojin people who participated in that war have long since passed away, we will never shirk the responsibility that belongs to the Shuojin people.

Shuojin people will be responsible for the mistakes made by their ancestors, and this is a compensation plan we have drawn up."

At the instruction of Elder Mu, Yin took out a document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Luke who was sitting across from him.

Luke took the document and read it carefully. Just when he was about to ask for a price, his mental universe was suddenly intruded by Qingkong.

"Let me wake up, quickly!"

Although Luke didn't know what was happening, he immediately chose Clear Sky to awaken.

Qingkong, who was sitting there quietly, opened his mouth and said to Elder Mu: "Elder Mu, regarding the compensation for the destruction of the World Tree, I can wait. But... there is one thing I must understand."

"What's the matter, Her Majesty the Queen?"

Qingkong turned to look at Elder Chun: "Who are you?"

"This is..." Elder Mu didn't know why Qingkong asked such a question. He was about to introduce him again, but he noticed something strange in his heart. He also asked Elder Chun: "Who are you!"

Elder Chun, who had always had a gloomy face, showed a twisted smile: "I didn't expect to be discovered so soon. This is the first time I have made a mistake in a thousand years since the war ended.

I don’t know how Her Majesty Queen Qingkong found out that Elder Chun was fake?”

"Your disguise is so poor, I could see it right from the moment you walked in. If you weren't planning to assassinate one of us, I wouldn't even bother to expose you."

The smile on Elder Chun's face froze. He didn't expect that his disguise had been seen through long ago, and he was indeed preparing to carry out the assassination.

Elder Mu, Pan Yin stood up immediately, chanted the ancient shimmering gold language, and wore golden armor on his body.

The weapon of Elder Mu is a golden staff, and a golden wheel is suspended behind him.

Three Shuojin men surrounded Elder Chun.

"Who are you, and what did you do to Elder Chun?"

"Elder Chun, of course he is dead. You occupy the position of the Shuojin elders, but you do not have the strength to match the elders. You are too far behind the elders' house thousands of years ago."

The opponent had participated in ancient wars and was able to disguise himself as a Shuojin elder without being noticed by the Shuojin people.

The identity of this person is about to come out.

Elder Mu said angrily: "Shadow Clan! Do you know that assassinating the elders of the Shuojin people is a declaration of war on the Shuojin people!"

"Declared war? Have we ceased war?" Elder Chun laughed wildly: "Queen Qingkong, your strength has been recognized by me, I will give you a chance to live. Terminate all cooperation with Shuojin people and angels, and draw a clear line with them.

.

Otherwise...I will assassinate you endlessly."

Qingkong stood up, activated the Ice Crystal Eyes and looked down at Elder Chun: "Assassinate me? I'm afraid you chose the wrong target. Get out of here, today is a special day, and I don't want to ruin this banquet."

Elder Mu yelled angrily: "You killed Elder Chun and still want to leave!"

Just as Elder Mu was about to launch an attack, the Shadow Tribe who transformed into Elder Chun turned into a black shadow and disappeared after shaking for a moment.

The room fell silent.

The three Shuojin people were at a loss.

A Shuojin elder was killed, and so many Shuojin people didn't notice it. It was a major scandal.

Elder Mu looked at the seat vacated by Elder Chun, and his whole body trembled with anger: "Shadow Clan! Shadow Clan!"

Qingkong said at this time: "Although the assassination target of the Shadow Clan is me, in order to prevent the Shadow Clan from harming my students, I went back first. The rest... will be left to the Marquis of Falling Star.

Elder Mu, please show your condolences!"

Qingkong stepped away and the room became quiet again.

After a while, Luke said: "The Shadow Clan transformed into Elder Chun and assassinated Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky. He must have wanted to put the blame on the Shuojin people and provoke conflicts between us.

If something like this happens, let’s postpone the discussion of compensation until later. I’ll send someone to prepare a car to take everyone away.”

Queen Qingkong is gone, and Elder Mu can't talk about compensation if he wants to. Besides, no matter how you look at it, the assassination of a Shuojin elder is even more serious, and the Shuojin people must take immediate countermeasures.

Elder Mu removed the golden armor, and his expression instantly became much older.

"I'm sorry, Marquis of Falling Star. If something like this happens, I must return to the Shuojin Elders' House immediately. The Shadow Clan will definitely pay the price!"

Elder Mu left angrily, and Pan followed.

Yin looked at Luke for the last time and walked out without saying a word.

Luke sat in his seat, thinking about what just happened.

The resurrection of the World Tree will lead to the five ancient civilizations. This is bound to happen.

Sky City and the Shuojin people are coming under control.

The demons are making a mess on their own. Even if they are willing to take action for the World Tree, a single demon only comes to deliver food, and no one wants to be the first to do so. With the demon Chi Yan as a nail in hell, any joint action by the demons is bound to happen.

There will be clues.

The Dragon Kingdom has only one name left, and there is no giant dragon that can bring the dragon clan together. Moreover, the dragon clan is so big that it is impossible to hide when it comes to trouble.

The Shadow Clan are the only uncontrollable trouble.

The Shadow Clan lives deep underground and is truly isolated from the world. Some people say that it is better to offend the devil than to offend a Shadow Clan. Because when the devil is playing tricks on you, you still have a slight chance to escape, but the Shadow Clan
