It was the rainy season.
The sky was covered with dust and the rain was light. Other than the strong Abyss Walkers who didn’t need to care about the radiation rain, the other adventurers were curled up in the stronghold, they were wearing special protective clothing as they searched for prey in the rain.
The nobles were feasting their friends in the warm hall where the fireplace was burning. It was not suitable for them to go out during this season.
Dudian was sitting in front of the desk in the laboratory behind the palace. He was wearing a snow white fur coat. He was carefully reading the information in his hand. Maybe it was because he had been frowning for a long time. There were faint wrinkles on his eyebrows.
The rain was falling outside. Occasionally a lightning bolt would pass through the sky. He didn’t know when he put down the information in his hand. He sat in front of the desk in silence as usual. He looked like an ice-cold stone sculpture.
Ten years had passed but there was still no hope for the progress of the experiment.
Moreover, in the past ten years, he had searched every corner of the continent. The surveillance network had covered every corner of the continent but he still couldn’t find Aisha.
This meant that she might have left the continent.
Or... she might have died.
“God is omnipotent. Why Can’t he reverse time?”Dudian frowned. In the past ten years, he had been studying the secrets of becoming a god in addition to studying the undeads. The birth of the god of Wa was an accident. There was only the result.., but there was no way. He continued to search for the complete and correct method in the experiments of the magic insects and Aragami. However the progress was slow. Even if he had the cooperation of God of wa it would be difficult to find the deepest secret.
Knock Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Dudian knew who it was. He frowned: “Come in.”
Aurora who was wearing a black skirt walked in. There were white waves on her skirt. She looked at dudian: “Your Majesty, you haven’t been to the parliament for a long time. Aren’t you going to take a look?”
“There is nothing to see. Everything is peaceful now. The sea monsters are a threat but they will be solved sooner or later.”Dudian casually said.
Aurora looked at him for a moment. She hesitated: “Although it is peaceful outside but it is not the case inside. It has been a long time since you have appeared in front of people. I don’t know where God has been playing. I am worried that something will happen.”
“Inside? Why? Did someone provoke you or your husband?”Dudian looked at her, the biggest change in the past ten years was that the people who had followed him were now married. Neuss had found his beloved woman in the giant wall. Sergei was a womanizer and had hundreds of concubines, most of them were aristocratic ladies. They were graceful and beautiful.
His student Edward was outstanding in the field of research. He was surrounded by a large group of women.
Barton, Zach and Mason also had their own families.
Including Aurora in front of him. She had changed from a teenage girl to a twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old woman. She had two children.
Aurora bit her lips. She was no longer a naive girl who was full of revenge. She had been immersed in the power vortex of the Empire for ten years. Even if she didn’t like these things.., at least she understood. So after she heard Dudian’s words, she mustered up the courage to say the words.
She knew that in Dudian’s eyes, she was like Sergei and the others.
Even if they were the people closest to Dudian, they had to act according to the laws of the country. Otherwise it would be chaotic.
“Your Majesty...”Aurora’s mouth was full of bitterness: “You haven’t appeared for so long. Don’t you want to see the development of the dynasty?”
Dudian shook his head: “There is nothing to see. I know the general situation. What are you trying to say?”
Aurora opened her mouth as two cute faces flashed through her mind. Her heart slightly twitched and her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head: “Nothing, Your Majesty. I’m here to report to you about the Sea Beast Research Institute. They have created a potion to degrade the sea beasts. It can be mass produced for all the sea beasts that have been hunted.”
“I know.”Dudian said: “This kind of thing is a state matter. You can talk about it in the Congress. There is no need to tell me.”
Aurora bowed her head: “Yes.”She stood for a while as if she was thinking about something. In the end she didn’t say anything and slowly left the study room.
Dudian retracted his eyes and continued to read another volume of experimental data. He stopped halfway and muttered: “What is she trying to imply? Let Me Go to the Congress? Is there a problem with the Congress?”
He felt strange. Although he hadn’t managed the state affairs of the dynasty for a long time, but most of the things that happened outside were known from his own intelligence channels. The country was peaceful and the territory was expanding steadily, the land monsters were completely expelled and the remaining species were kept in captivity. It was like the zoo in the old era where a special hunting paradise was established.
In addition to the sea monsters that still occupied People’s eyes, there was basically nothing that was worth his attention.
“Is she hesitating because she was coerced or because Barton and the others wanted to say something?”Dudian’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look. After a moment, he called the guards outside, he asked them to inform his parents that he was going to attend the Congress tomorrow.
His parents rushed over to see Dudian.
“Son, are you willing to give up these experiments and take care of the country?”His mother looked at him with joy.
Dudian looked at them. He thought of Aurora’s words and asked: “Mother, is there anyone who is more domineering recently?”
His mother was surprised: “Why do you ask? Did you hear what they said? Who would dare to form a party? You are the only demigod in the world and the god of Wa is protecting you. Who would dare to form a party? Isn’t this a rebellion?”
Dudian nodded: “That’s true. But I’m afraid that these people will operate in the dark. The purpose is not for the throne but to have a higher status and better life.”
His mother thought for a moment: “It makes sense. Your father and I will investigate this matter.”
“How is it? Have you made any progress in the experiment?”His father asked.
Dudian sighed and shook his head.
“You have been doing experiments here all day. It is easy for bottlenecks to appear in your thinking. It just so happens that tomorrow is the day of prayer. We have prepared a special altar that can remove part of the nuclear fallout. Do you want to go over and take a look?”His father laughed.
“Yes. You should go out to relax. Your Sister has prepared a surprise for you.”Mother echoed.
Dudian looked at them and nodded: “Alright, let’s go out for a walk.”He got up. The family of three went out of the study and left the imperial palace.
