People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

But the doctor clearly didn't want to "give up" on the Year Beast just like that.

This was a creature he had finally found that had communicated with the "treasure" and knew about that past.

The others were either like Kal'tsit, who, for various reasons, couldn't speak very clearly, or Ernst himself.

As for Precyth, the doctor had heard the name many times and had seen her face in his memory. But strangely, his first reaction was not "reassurance".

This is quite different from the feeling that Ernst's statement, "Priscilla is your lover," should evoke.

So he turned his gaze to Kal'tsit and said seriously:

"Kal'tsit, could you let Sui come to Rhodes Island?"

Kal'tsit: "?!"

The old lynx pointed to its own nose and said, "Huh? Me?"

Chapter 985 Ernst's greatness needs no further explanation!

Kal'tsit is just like that rambunctious bastard.

Not to brag, but how many people on this land could persuade the Yan Kingdom's court to change their existing policies?

A true dragon certainly qualifies. History has shown that in feudal society, the authority of a powerful emperor was not to be challenged. When a true dragon unleashed his fury, even at the cost of his own position, if he wanted to kill someone, no one could stop him.

Ernst's decision is quite reasonable. Although this is Ernst's first time in Yan Kingdom, he has some connections with everyone from the Three Dukes of the Imperial Court to the heads of various departments. In addition, he has just helped Yan Kingdom solve a problem that has plagued them for thousands of years, so the Emperor should give him some face.

If you insist on blaming Sui, that's a plausible explanation. Sui's power is undeniable; as a long-standing thorn in the side of the Yan Kingdom for millennia, if it were to cause trouble, it could indeed alter the Yan Kingdom's policies at the time. However, such a change wouldn't bring good results for Sui itself.

What? You're asking why Kal'tsit isn't included?

Who is Kal'tsit? When did Kal'tsit start playing?

Upon hearing the doctor's request, she was taken aback at first, and then almost burst out laughing (Vivian face).

This is insane! Seriously insane! Family, does anyone understand? My dad's challenging me to a duel with the Celestial Master! Really?!

Kal'tsit couldn't help but ask:

Why don't you invite Lord Ernst?

Wouldn't it be much more useful to ask Lord Ernst than to go to her?

In the past, people could say "Oh no! Go and fetch Lord Ernst!" as a joke, but now, Ernst truly has the power of a Buddha!

Holding the original Source Nine Stone in his hand, when he opened his eyes, it was to save all living beings; when he closed his eyes, it was to show that he could not bear to look anymore; when he glared angrily, it was to transform into the Great Western King Buddha and start killing!

If tears of blood were shed, my Quilon! I dare not even imagine what had happened!

With him in charge, would the Yan Kingdom dare to say, "You actually forbid it!"?

As it turns out, Yan Kingdom really didn't dare.

Zhenlong was not lying. He really did not arrange for anyone to monitor Ernst and the others' interactions with Sui, even though he and the entire court could more or less realize that there must be many unknown secrets involved, which might be very important to Yan Kingdom.

Because nobody dares.

Who should be sent? The Imperial Guards? The Director of the Imperial Secretariat? Or should you, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, or the Ministers of the Six Ministries, go in person?

What, you think you can fool Ernst's eyes and ears? You can fool everyone else, but don't fool yourself! Ernst can see the scene in Suiling directly from the main mine of Jingyu, and he can project the epic battle that broke out in Suiling directly into the sky. How could he not know if someone is spying on him?

Putting everything else aside, the extremely high concentration of Originium in the main mine of Jingyu would render even the military's sophisticated radios ineffective! And then there's the Battle of Suiling, where the surrounding magnetic field was altered. If you searched the entire Yan Kingdom, you'd probably find no one more qualified to stand by and watch, except for the Old Celestial Master!

But Ernst not only watched, he could also make real-time calls, and not only make real-time calls, but also broadcast the live stream in 8K resolution!

If this wasn't some psionic technology or ancient relic of the Sentinel Array that Sherag accidentally unearthed in the mountains, then there's only one possibility—it's Ernst's doing!

The Yan Kingdom respects capable people.

I said I wouldn't watch it, and I mean it. Even if you showed it to me, I still wouldn't watch it!

S, do you even understand morality?

"Your Majesty, this old minister feels that there are still some strange things about this matter. This old minister has a somewhat immature guess: could it be that Mr. Ernst obtained that thing with the help of that [immortal]?"

In the small room, the Grand Tutor, who was holding a small meeting, made a bold guess.

"You mean that Originium?"

U Zhenlong pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He thought the Grand Tutor's conjecture was very reasonable.

It's not that he's slandering Ernst; Ernst certainly has fighting ability, but it's a bit impossible that Ernst actually has such high fighting ability.

Aside from the Witch King, who was truly monstrous, the combat strength of the other leaders of Yitara was actually mediocre. After all, when a person has to devote a lot of energy to handling national affairs, their personal bravery will inevitably weaken due to factors such as long-term absence from battle.

The reason King Lingwu was so powerful was largely because he never treated Letania as a country to be governed. In the later years of his reign, he treated the place entirely as his personal resource depot, returning only when needed and locking himself in his tower when not. If resources ran low, he adhered to Letania's excellent "people-oriented" philosophy: since it was "used for the people," it should naturally be "taken from the people."

Rindonia is in its prime! What harm is there in erecting some statues?

Of course, the most important thing is that Ernst has never shown such strength before.

Ernst has faced life-or-death crises before, and there have been many assassination attempts against him. If he has the ability, why doesn't he use it sooner?

On the land of Terra, fists are far more powerful than words. If he had shown his strength earlier, he would probably have received much more attention in various places, and he wouldn't have almost been hung up a mountain by a local priest of Sherag.

Yi can be said to have chosen the most difficult path, so difficult that even today, the True Dragon feels that the World Summit, which originated from him and has continued to this day, has not only not fallen apart, but has begun to have an increasingly prominent presence in Terra's international politics, is a miracle. It is a major event in Terra's 11th century that is more important and has a more far-reaching impact than the War of the Four Emperors!

Of course, the possibility that Zhenlong is hiding his strength cannot be completely ruled out.

Of the three, Ernst is more likely to have obtained "that stone".

Lu Kal'tsit knew of the existence of [Wa's Legacy], and the True Dragon certainly knew as well.

The history of the Great Yan Dynasty is long and rich, and most importantly, its lineage is complete. The Great Yan royal family, which has existed for ten thousand generations, has never experienced a break in its lineage. The secrets they hold about this land are almost unmatched by anyone else.

This naturally includes some information about the [original Originium].

They may not know the origin of this special Originium, but they do know what kind of power it possesses.

The legend of Nuwa mending the sky records that it possessed power at the level of mending the sky. Nuwa was not the first true dragon to know of the existence of the original source stone; she was merely the first true dragon to use the power of this source stone in public.

While Ernst's actions weren't exactly "mending the sky," his journey into the depths of Jingyu's main mine, along with the presence of the super-long-lived being, the "Doctor," who appears to have survived since the Age of Giant Beasts, makes it hard not to speculate that he might have obtained some information about the "original Originium" from the "Doctor," which led him to venture deep into the mine and use secret methods to find the Originium that was integrated into it.

"Your Majesty, that source stone is the greatest treasure of the Great Yan Dynasty. If Mr. Ernst has indeed taken it, we must retrieve it!"

The Grand Commandant immediately proposed,

"I am willing to go in person and ask Mr. Ernst to return this item."

"Ernst has helped my Great Yan a lot. Without him, this campaign against the Sui Beast would not have been so easy. The millions of people in Baizhao, as well as us, should all be grateful for his kindness."

Before the true dragon could answer, the old Celestial Master, who was returning to court, suddenly waved his hand first.

"It's just a single Originium; it's useless underground. Why not give it to Ernst?"

"How can you calculate it like this?"

The Grand Commandant was taken aback, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

It wasn't that he was at a loss for words; he had plenty. The main problem was that the person speaking was wrong. (Three/)

This is the old Celestial Master, the "Pillar of the Nation" of the Great Yan Dynasty. Her status in the Great Yan Dynasty, roughly speaking, is no less than that of Enya in the hearts of the Sherag people—she can be considered a kind of "spiritual symbol"!

If you go around Da Yan and ask around, anyone who doesn't give a thumbs up when they mention the Celestial Master, just arrest them. They're either from the Mountain and Sea Society (a giant beast worship group, designated as a terrorist organization by the World Summit), or evil heretics. You'll catch them every time!

Even infected people, Anasa, and even outlaws like the Robin Hood would have to praise the Old Master!

This kind of person actually stood up for Ernst? And kept saying "Just give it away!"

You think it's some kind of toy that you just grab because you like it?

Even the true dragon was somewhat taken aback.

After all, it is extremely rare for the Celestial Master to express his opinions on political matters.

But even the old master couldn't do anything about it.

She was in Suiling at the time, and she knew exactly what happened inside.

Ernst directly pulled out twelve agents of the Year Beast, including Jie. The scene was so shocking that not only Wang was shocked, but the Old Master was also shocked!

To sum up the old master's feelings at that time in one sentence—

"Holy crap, holy crap, this young man!"

Ernst had really mastered the art of handling Originium; it was clear he had studied it extensively before!

To be fair, once he got his hands on this treasure he had been eyeing for so long, would he ever return it?

The old celestial master was practically a cultivator of immortality, and she felt that if it were her, she wouldn't repay him.

As for Yan Kingdom's insistence

Yan just defeated Sui, is he trying to provoke another [Sami] + [Yelagand]?

It's hard to say about Yeragand, since I didn't see how much effort He put in, but the old master personally witnessed the power of [Sami], which far surpasses that of the old man!

So let go when you should! Consider it a good deed, and we won't lose out anyway.

She was just about to explain her thoughts to the dragon when she heard the Grand Tutor say:

"I believe that Lord Guozhu's idea is also reasonable."

"However, Yan is, after all, a great power. I believe that Yan can be sent away, but it cannot be taken without permission."

He paused, then lowered his voice.

"At the very least, we need to make the right gestures."

The Grand Commandant was taken aback again, looked at the Grand Tutor, and wanted to speak, but met the Grand Tutor's warning gaze.

He suddenly thought of something, so he pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

"I second the proposal."

The Grand Commandant realized what was happening.

The Grand Tutor didn't want to escalate the matter too much. After all, although the war against the Sui Beast was over, Yan Kingdom was about to face another period of turmoil. At this critical juncture, it was best to maintain stability in the court and the country, and avoid creating further complications.

Zhenlong raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not refute it. Instead, he asked sincerely:

"What does the Grand Tutor mean?"

The Grand Tutor pondered for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, and after a minute, he slowly spoke:

"I request that the Vice Minister of Rites, Ning Ciqiu, be sent to Mr. Ernst to subtly request the return of the treasure."

"Yan can offer negotiation terms with no upper limit."

"But if Mr. Ernst insists on having that stone, and Minister Ning's negotiations fail, he can also present this treasure to Sherag on behalf of Yan, to express the Great Yan's gratitude to Mr. Ernst for his help."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Without hesitation, the true dragon nodded generously:

"That's right."

Ning Ciqiu came with a mission.

Although she didn't know what kind of mission she was assigned.

His Majesty ordered her to find Mr. Ernst and ask him for a treasure from the Yan Kingdom. But he didn't tell her what that treasure was.

How can I ask for it if you don't tell me what it is?

If what I get isn't what you want, wouldn't I be deceiving the emperor?

Ning Ciqiu looked completely bewildered.

Besides that, she also had a bit of disbelief.

Mr. Ernst was a man of high moral character, a living saint. He regarded money as dirt and disliked money the most in his life. He had no interest in money. How could he have secretly stolen the treasures of Yan Kingdom and not returned them?

What, does that treasure glow or heat up? (Transfer qun: 艺裬隣启镏,鳩忆衫熘)

Ning Ciqiu felt that this mission was a trap, but she couldn't disobey the emperor's orders. She had no choice but to go, whether she wanted to or not.

So she found Ernst.

So, how well did she complete her task?

"Mr. Ernst, are you serious?"

"Use this stone to exchange for the Year Beast?"

"Oh yes, the True Dragon did say there's no upper limit to the conditions."
