Chapter 166 Boko III
Boko III is back?

Hearing Lynn's words...

Qiao Kewen quickly glanced at Milo sitting opposite him, coughed lightly, and said into the voice chat, "Understood, Chief of Internal Affairs Lynn. Please wait a moment, we will set off immediately."

Lynn quickly replied, "Understood, I will be waiting for you outside."

Wait until Lynn's voice is turned off.

Jin gave Qiao Kewen a meaningful look: "Governor, our Emperor has returned so quickly."

A glint of light flashed in Qiao Kewen's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Just as Jin said.

Boko III did return rather quickly.

To know.

The "Skywing" palace is located above the North Pole of Boska, while according to the information Lynn mentioned earlier, Boko III is visiting the southern hemisphere of Boska today.

Despite the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers and the time required for on-site handover, the Persian monarch returned in less than half an hour.
Even if Bosca is a fourth-order civilization, this efficiency can be considered quite rapid.

Of course, it's not unreasonable to say that Boko III valued Jorkovin, since his speed wasn't as exaggerated as Cao Cao's.
Then, Joe Cowen controlled the android to push itself up on its legs and stand up with great strides: "No matter what, he has come all this way back, so we should go and see him, Adele. Come with us, we can't keep him waiting too long."

Adele raised her eyelids and looked at Jokowi for a few seconds. Although her brother, whom she hadn't seen for over a decade, was acting a bit strange today, she still obeyed his instructions: "Okay."

Then the group got up one after another and went to the entrance where Qiao Kewen opened the door.

The gate opened.

Qiao Kewen then saw Lynn waiting at the door. He immediately nodded to the son of his old friend: "Lynn, Chief of the Interior, please lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Lynn bowed to him and gestured for him to follow: "You're too kind, please come with me."

Lynn then led the group back along the way they came, but instead of returning to the elevator platform, they turned right at a corner.

They traveled for about a few minutes.

The group turned another corner, and suddenly a dazzling, curved hall appeared before them.

The hall is semi-enclosed, with a semi-transparent energy membrane on the ceiling. The aurora borealis outside the windows shines through the membrane, casting ever-changing rainbows on the crystal floor, creating a visually striking effect.

When everyone arrived at the hall.

A figure stood in the center of the hall, with his back to the entrance, looking up at the band of light moving across the dome.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a silver-gray robe with fine embroidery along the hem, which shimmered with a faint blue fluorescence as he moved.

Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned around, revealing his previously concealed face:

This man appeared to be around sixty years old, with slightly loose skin. Beneath his high brow bones, his dark golden eyes shone sharply, though several fine lines extended from the corners of his eyes. The nasolabial folds on either side of his nose were clearly visible, and his silver hairline receded slightly. His imposing presence was tinged with a palpable air of age. It was quite obvious.

The elderly man in the silver-gray robe was Boko III, the supreme ruler of the Bosnian civilization.

"Governor Jokowen." Looking at Jokowen and his entourage approaching from behind, Boko III's voice was deep and steady: "It's been a long time. Your Excellency is as distinguished as ever."

Upon seeing this, Qiao Kewen nodded slightly, a polite smile on his face as well: "I am truly flattered that His Majesty has come to greet me personally."

Gu Wei, who was following behind Qiao Kewen, glanced at the two guys.

Why make it so formal when one is the brother-in-law and the other is the brother-in-law?

Boko III's gaze lingered on Jokowen for a moment, then swept over Adele and Milo behind him, before gesturing to the seats behind him: "Take a seat."

talking.

He then slowly walked to the floating chair next to him and sat down gracefully.

Qiao Kewen and others followed suit.

Upon seeing this, Chief of the Interior Lynn bowed to Boko III and Jokowi respectively, and silently withdrew.

After taking a seat.

Boko III gestured for a servant to bring drinks, and asked with a smile, "Governor Jokowen, how have things been going for you lately?"

Qiao Kewen took the wine glass handed to him by the servant, took a sip, and put it aside: "Thanks to His Majesty, the exploration team is not large in scale, but it can be considered to have achieved some results - I am currently applying for the qualification to enter the exploration domain."

Qiao Kewen, after all, was a seasoned veteran in the industry, and could speak all sorts of nonsense with ease.

Despite the fact that the Burning Crusade has already wiped out the entire team, he still pretends that the team is doing well and is putting pressure on Boko III.

After all, the level of civilization development within the Maze Zone is limited, and only a handful of civilizations are qualified to obtain the qualification to establish an exploration team in the Star Sea, namely the Vortex Protocol.

Even Bosca, the overlord of the labyrinth, only has three or four exploration teams in the Star Sea.

Although most of these exploration teams advanced to the senior exploration team level by simply grinding away at the time (fifty years), their mission experience and ship configurations were no match for the Burning Crusade, let alone the exploration domain qualification that required consideration of overall strength.

Meanwhile, Gu Wei, who was below, also vaguely sensed something:
Boko III's initial address seemed to be an attempt to avoid the impact of Jokowen's appearance on the royal family. After all, once the term "brother-in-law" was uttered, Adele and Ophelia's status within the royal family would change, either actively or passively—given that Jokowen hadn't visited for over a decade, knowing of his existence was not the same as actually meeting him.

Jorkovin then launched a small counterattack against the expedition—at least that's how Boko III would judge it.

But what is the real significance of this move?
Gu Wei quickly glanced at Jin sitting next to him.

The presence of competition and pressure leads to emotional changes, which are usually linked to micro-expressions in actions or demeanor—a pie chart analysis of a face with three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance is a trope that only appears in novels on Earth, but it is not difficult to achieve at the galactic level.

Then, Qiao Kewen paused, estimating that the time was right, and changed the subject, asking seemingly casually:
"By the way, Your Majesty, I ran into Ophelia on my way back to Mold. Is there some special reason why the royal family is in such a hurry to bring her back?"

Note:
Three days until I go home, plus one day of rest, I'll be fully recharged!!!
Another issue that came to mind is that other authors seem to compile a list of winners for their giveaways and then hand it over to the merchants for shipping. However, the prizes I prepare are items that will reach me through various channels. If I send dozens or hundreds of items at once, won't I be bombarded with in-person visits from you guys?
