Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The public will also celebrate the Queen's birthday in various ways, and the celebrations will last all day.

Zhou Mingrui, dressed in a white military uniform, followed behind the diplomatic delegation. To celebrate Queen Estée's birthday, the accompanying honor guard would also be inspected by the Queen.

"Ok?"

Zhou Mingrui, who was in a good mood, immediately felt displeased after seeing the red-haired person... The other person had obviously seen him as well and stepped forward to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou Mingrui." Charlie greeted him politely, while the female officer behind him scrutinized Zhou Mingrui with a critical eye.

"It's you, Captain Charlie," Zhou Mingrui greeted him.

"I've heard there will be a mystery guest at today's banquet. How exciting!" Charlie said meaningfully.

"Oh... what a pity, I can't attend the banquet," Zhou Mingrui said, pursing his lips.

After watching the ceremony, he will use the "Return Scroll".

Chapter 38 Traditional Projects

Zhou Mingrui's eyes were fixed on the performance below the castle, but his mind was already on the Xirang Base... wondering how those young people with dreams were doing after he left.

Unfortunately, the embassy has not yet chosen a location, and the long-wave radio station has not been set up. However, the Dayu ship has a complete set of long-wave radio equipment. Once the embassy is established, it will be able to establish stable contact with the Xirang base.

Soon, the viewing platform fell silent, and a voice that sounded very familiar to Zhou Mingrui rang out, causing everyone to gasp involuntarily.

Charlie, the cunning old fox, narrowed his eyes, seemingly plotting something.

Zhou Mingrui paused for a moment and looked down. It turned out that the clone army had made its appearance. It seemed the rabbit felt that the clones alone weren't impressive enough, so they added a "March of the Steel Torrent"...

These people have never seen anything like this before. Calm down... calm down... this is nothing. If it were an Indian military parade, with one motorcycle for a platoon and three motorcycles for a company, these people would probably be dumbfounded.

With perfectly synchronized steps, the clone army marched past the castle. Looking down from the castle, Zhou Mingrui immediately felt that his obsessive-compulsive disorder had improved considerably.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

(o?o)(o?o)(o?o)(o?o)(o?o)

"Look to the right!"

('_>`)( '_>`)('_>`)('_>`)(o?o)

"Forward march!"

*Smack!* *Smack!* *Smack!*

After the honor guard had passed, Queen Estée led the applause and said softly to the Chinese ambassador to the Kingdom of Bel, "Your army is very impressive!"

"Your Majesty flatters me. I'm just above average; there are even more capable people who haven't arrived yet." The ambassador to the Kingdom of Bel smiled and activated his passive skill, Versailles.

Amidst rousing music, the orderly marching of the clone army prompted whispers among the kingdom's inhabitants.

The celebrations outside the palace quickly came to an end, followed by a banquet for the kingdom's high-ranking officials, including members of the royal family, government officials, and military leaders.

There's nothing for Zhou Mingrui to do here. Those who can go are all big shots, and he's not suited for being too exposed. The most suitable position for him to hide his identity is one that's easy to find and doesn't attract attention.

After tidying up his luggage, Zhou Mingrui left the room.

As he walked down the corridor, a beautifully dressed young woman approached. Zhou Mingrui felt she looked familiar, and only after seeing the female officer behind her did he realize that it was none other than the melancholy young woman, Corliss.

"Mr. Zhou Mingrui, are you leaving?" Corliss asked, looking at Zhou Mingrui carrying his suitcase.

"Well, I have some things to take care of back home... I'm sorry, Miss Corliss, I won't be able to attend the Queen's banquet."

"Well then, Mr. Zhou Mingrui, I wish you a safe journey."

Corliss lifted her skirt in a graceful gesture, and Zhou Mingrui returned the gesture with a salute.

"You too, Miss Corliss."

After saying goodbye to Corliss, Zhou Mingrui and Shi Qiang left the castle and headed towards the Dayu ship docked in the harbor.

There, they returned to Nuwa's base, and then were transferred from Nuwa to Xirang's base.

..............

Corliss stood on the second floor of the banquet hall, looking at the guests below with an uneasy expression.

"Corliss, don't worry, I'm here." Yuri gave Corliss an encouraging look.

"Yuri..."

"Alright, look, the Queen is about to introduce you to everyone."

"Thank you all for attending my birthday banquet. Here, I would like to introduce a special guest..." Her Majesty Queen Estée, dressed in her finest attire, looked up at the second floor with a kind expression. The other guests couldn't help but wonder what kind of guest deserved such an introduction from the Queen.

"...My granddaughter Corliss."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Corliss walked out somewhat shyly, descended the stairs to the first floor, and finally stood beside Queen Esti, giving a graceful bow to the crowd.

In a corner of the banquet, Charlie frowned as he watched Corliss suddenly appear. Their intelligence department had absolutely no information about Corliss... Sure enough, the Queen was on guard against them!

Charlie glanced at his watch; five minutes to go before the intelligence department began its operation.

From now on, everything in the kingdom will be different!

Time passed by, and everyone was so engrossed in the celebration of the Queen's birthday that they didn't notice that the sentries and royal guards on duty had been replaced without their knowledge.

Without a sound, all those who refused to cooperate with the intelligence department were taken into custody and imprisoned in the castle's dungeon.

"Do you even know what you're doing?!" The commander of the palace garrison stood in his cell, glaring at his former colleagues.

"For justice!" His colleague slammed the cell door shut.

Caught completely off guard, the palace's garrison was dismantled by the intelligence department.

After securing the entire area outside the palace, Charlie's female assistant lit a huge firework.

boom!

Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky.

"Mommy, it's so beautiful!" A little girl with pigtails pointed at the fireworks in the sky and said in a childish voice.

The fireworks exploding in the sky did not attract the attention of the people, who simply thought it was part of the celebration. However, the Queen frowned, as it was not the time to set off fireworks according to the ceremony's schedule.

Yuri cautiously walked to the Queen and Corliss's side, looked at the guard, and gestured for him to ask what was going on.

The guard nodded and walked out of the banquet hall, less than ten seconds later...

Bang! The banquet hall doors were violently pushed open, and nearly 40 intelligence department soldiers armed with orbal guns rushed into the banquet hall. At this moment, the guards stood with their hands raised, looking angry and helpless, while several soldiers pointed their orbal guns at them.

Queen Estée looked at the leading female officer, then immediately turned to Captain Charlie of the intelligence department, seemingly understanding something, and secretly made a gesture to Yuri.

Yuri immediately pulled Corliss towards the back door of the banquet hall, but Charlie stopped the soldier as soon as he raised his orbal gun.

"No one is allowed to fire. Bring the man back alive!"

The intelligence soldiers instinctively bypassed the Queen and chased after Yuri and Corliss.

"Captain Charlie! I need an explanation!" The Queen stared at Charlie with an air of authority, though not angry.

After a moment of silence, Charlie looked up at the Queen and said, "This is for the sake of the kingdom!"

Chapter 39 Tensions Rise

The coup in the palace was confined to the banquet hall, but their every move was observed by a small white bird.

"Chirp!"

After the white bird took flight, it looked anxiously at Corliss being chased by soldiers. Then a white ship came into its view, and it quickly flew towards the dock.

Yuri punched the intelligence soldier who was chasing after her in the stomach, and the soldier fell to the ground clutching his stomach.

"I'll hold them off! Corliss, run! You absolutely can't get caught!"

With the Queen under house arrest, Charlie couldn't do anything, given Queen Estée's high prestige. But if Corliss were also captured, the Queen would truly be in a precarious position... The kingdom must not fall into the hands of these radicals!

Yuri handed her rapier to Corliss, picked up the orbal gun from the intelligence soldier, and began suppressing the pursuing soldiers with fire.

"Yuri..."

Corliss took the rapier and ran a few steps. Then, looking at the cumbersome long dress, she pursed her lips, tore off the hem of the dress, threw it on the ground, and cut slits on both sides of the dress before quickly running away.

She had to escape before the intelligence department completely sealed off the palace!

Many people thought she was a good girl, but in fact she was quite skilled with a sword. After quickly knocking down several careless intelligence soldiers with her rapier, Corliss ran out of the castle and immediately spotted the white Dayu.

................

Inside the royal banquet hall, all high-ranking government officials and military leaders were under control.

No one noticed that the military attaché in the diplomatic corps pressed an inconspicuous button while adjusting his clothes, then gave the ambassador a look, and the ambassador nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Captain Charlie, you have disappointed me greatly!" Queen Estée looked at Charlie with some disappointment. She had originally thought highly of this hardworking young man, but she never expected him to do such a foolish thing.

"This is for the future of the kingdom!" Charlie said like a martyr. "The kingdom is too weak in its dealings with foreign powers. If it continues like this, it will be swallowed up by the empire sooner or later. So we must rely on our own strength to become strong, instead of depending on foreign powers."

When the topic of foreign powers came up, Charlie glanced at the Chinese diplomatic corps, his meaning clear.

Soon, the female adjutant walked briskly to Charlie's side and whispered a few words, causing Charlie to frown.

The Queen's granddaughter actually escaped, and she even got to the dock area... This is troublesome.

According to intelligence, Corliss seems to have good relations with the forces of the Abyss Sea. If they get involved, it will be troublesome. In that case, let's go all the way!

"By order of the Queen, the port's defense forces are to take control of these friends from the Abyss Sea!"

"How utterly foolish, Captain Charlie..." Queen Estée glared at Charlie, "...pointing cannons at guests who have come from afar, are you trying to drag the kingdom into war?!"

"If this is the price to make the kingdom stronger!" At this moment, Charlie was like a gambler who had lost everything.

"Mr. Charlie, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is..." The Chinese ambassador looked at the radical young man before him and said gently:

"...If you insist on going your own way, you will have to bear the consequences (we are ready to roll up our sleeves)."

This was an unfriendly act (our knuckles were cracking), and something we absolutely could not tolerate (we had rolled up our sleeves).

I hope you can pull back from the brink in time (do you really want to get beaten up?).
