The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

...

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 186 Capture

“You have two choices.” Win Caroline put down her teacup.

"So happy?"

"First, I guarantee your safety. After His Highness Dien and Princess Beya's wedding, I will let you leave."

"Is Di En going to kill us?"

“I’m not sure.” Win Caroline stood up, her figure tall and lithe. “But I assure you that you can leave safely and live to drive your excavator.”

"And the second one?" Li Changzhou continued to ask.

"You can assassinate me now, I'll kill you, then you'll put on power armor and stay by my side for the rest of your life."

"Stay by your side?" Li Changzhou was puzzled.

“I admire your personality,” she paused, “and you’re good-looking, so our relationship might become even closer in the future.”

"...Can we combine these ideas? I'll assassinate you, get killed by you, then I'll put on power armor, go back to my hometown, and drive my excavator?"

“No,” Win Caroline refused curtly. “I must guarantee that you won’t cause trouble before the wedding. That would not only cause trouble for yourself, but also for me.”

"But I spared your life? Oh, right, and I spared your brother's life too."

"Did you risk your life to release us? No, and since you didn't, I have no reason to go to that extent for you."

"Is it alright now?" Li Changzhou rested his Emerald Bee Sword on Wen Caroline's shoulder.

Win Caroline had seen countless swords—the swords of Imperial mech pilots, the swords of the Empress—but she had never seen such a beautiful sword.

Like a sword-shaped emerald, it is so gorgeous that it has an untouchable beauty.

She turned her gaze away from the sword and instead looked at the shackles between Li Changzhou's hands.

"The amount of electricity that could knock out or kill an ordinary person is just a tickle to me," Li Changzhou laughed.

The secondary potential development of "Thunder Diagram" has resulted in the inability to unleash its original divine power due to the lack of combat techniques. However, its ability to withstand the overly precise electrical current from the shackles is merely like getting a needle in the butt—those who are afraid will cry, while those who are not will feel a slight itch, but nothing serious.

"Who exactly are you people?" Win Caroline asked, voicing the question that had been nagging at her.

Her second option for Li Changzhou was to keep him close by and try to uncover his secrets.

Like a venomous snake, the emerald bee sword nestled against Wen Caroline's shoulder, drawing closer to her slender, elegant neck.

"You can leave on your own merits, so why do you have to hurt me?" Win Caroline showed no fear or impatience, her expression calm.

"Consider it a favor I owe you. Next time I catch you, I'll let you go, okay?"

Winnie Caroline suddenly laughed, pressing her hand to her lips.

The tremor in her shoulder nearly caused the Emerald Bee Sword to slip. With its sharpness, a mere slip would have severed Win Caroline's head.

"Is it the plot of the movie 'You and Me Coexist'? The male and female enemies who let each other go time and time again?" she said with a laugh.

“I quite like this movie,” Li Changzhou said with a smile.

"I like Freya the most, what about you?"

"Me too."

Win Carolyn's smile faded: "Fria did not appear in this film."

"Even the pilots of the Imperial Mechs can lie?"

"Only those who can lie can become pilots of the Imperial Mechs."

The power armor suddenly opened, and an unconscious man fell out.

The power armor, which opened like a coffin, fired a shot at the man, turning him to ash.

He fired another shot at Li Changzhou.

The shackles turned to ashes.

"...So ruthless?" Li Changzhou sheathed his sword.

“Just a death row inmate, let’s go.” Wen Caroline patted the shoulder where the Emerald Peak Sword had just been pressing down.

Li Changzhou donned his power armor and followed behind Wen Caroline.

Stepping out of the conference room, Wen Caroline said, "The prisoner attacked me and was killed by my men. I will report this to His Highness Dien."

The two soldiers nodded without hesitation: "Yes, sir!"

It was resolved so easily.

The pilots of the Imperial mechs do whatever they want.

...

Almost an hour after they finished eating, Li Changzhou still hadn't returned.

"Is he dead?" Yaochi asked.

"No," Li Qianxia answered subconsciously, her eyes fixed on the twins.

Yaochi nodded knowingly: "It seems that you two siblings have a way to confirm each other's safety."

Li Qianxia: "..."

"Little Radish?" Yang Qinglan, who was watching the news, suddenly spoke up.

"Little Radish? What happened to her?" Li Qianxia quickly came over, she had been worried about her and Butterfly.

On the holographic display screen was a news article that reportedly Her Majesty the Queen had recently encountered a fairy riding a butterfly in the garden and received a blessing from the heavens.

The "fairies" flying on the Queen's shoulder in the photo are none other than the long-lost little radish and butterfly.

Little Radish looked delighted as he waved to the nation alongside the Empress. His clothes, which had been made by Li Qianxia, ​​were now exquisite works of art by the Imperial tailors.

"She—" Li Qianxia didn't know what to say for a moment, "What is her mission? To please the Empress? To assassinate the Empress?"

"Do you think she cares about the mission?" Yang Qinglan asked rhetorically.

"Uh, no."

...

Leaving the hotel where I was under house arrest.

"Thank you for your help," Li Changzhou said.

“It’s best not to take off your power armor before leaving the capital. It can bypass location tracking and still grants you access to and from the capital,” said Win Caroline.

"Thank you, I will remember your help."

After saying goodbye to Winnie Caroline, Li Changzhou strolled aimlessly through the streets.

While enjoying the customs and culture of this other world, they also gather information.

The king of the duchy died, and the guardian divine machine was shattered. The fragments of the sky that served as the power furnace were sent to the capital and placed into the {knight} that had been forged long ago.

The Empire is about to acquire its fifth Imperial Mech, and all its citizens are celebrating.

Late at night, Li Changzhou sneaked into the palace.
