Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

"So...what's going on?"

Lu Yuan sat down on the sofa in the room and asked An Suo to pour him a glass of water. Then he held the glass and drank the water while telling the whole story.

"About a month ago, a strange 'person' came to me. They claimed to be from the deep sea and believed in the deep sea, and invited me to join them..."

Lu Yuan recounted in detail everything he had experienced.

Although the experience is not much, it is shocking enough to hear it.

"Deep sea...deep sea..."

After listening to Lu Yuan's story, Speaker Witte kept repeating the word "deep sea".

It is clear.

He had never heard of this organization.

Moreover, one thing is certain, this organization is absolutely not a state-owned organization, and it is definitely more like a cult type.

"Chairman Witte, I have an idea now."

Lu Yuan said, "Since an envoy came to find me, it's obvious that they must have also looked for other people. Moreover, an organization can't have only one person in one country. There must be others, or even quite a few."

"You have to be wary of this deep-sea sect. It's too dangerous!"

Speaker Witte couldn't help but nodded.

He also quite agreed with Lu Yuan's ideas.

"I'm sorry to have frightened you, Mr. Lu!"

Speaker Witte stood up and apologized to Lu Yuan again, preparing to return to the palace. Such a big thing must be informed to His Majesty immediately, and a meeting of the peace faction must be convened.

"Nothing. Although his strength is decent, it's still not enough in front of me. Please rest assured, Speaker Witte, Internal Guards, don't blame yourselves for not being able to protect me."

"There is no such thing as absolute defense or absolute protection in this world. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Even the most sophisticated defense cannot be 100% effective."

"Mr. Lu is so righteous!!!"

"Then I will leave first. I need to inform His Majesty immediately and then inform His Majesty that Mr. Lu is safe."

After saying that, Speaker Witte left without stopping.

As for the internal guards guarding Lu Yuan, the number increased from two to four, doubling.

Although everyone knows how terrifyingly powerful Lu Yuan is.

But even so, the internal security still hopes to isolate all crises from the outside as much as possible.

After all, even if these assassinations are like mosquito bites, if there are too many of them and they happen too frequently, they will eventually become annoying.

Lu Yuan's residence was destroyed after the deep-sea messenger appeared.

So Lu Yuan simply slept in his office tonight. An Suo did not go back either. He also stayed in Lu Yuan's office and stayed by his side all the time.

Sitting next to Lu Yuan.

In the past, An Suo would definitely say something, but now, the words she subconsciously wanted to say were stuck in her throat. Even if she wanted to say it, she couldn't say it.

Now perhaps the only thing they can do is to follow Lu Yuan closely and try their best to follow in Lu Yuan's footsteps.

Lu Yuan lay on the sofa in his office, with his legs crossed and his hands under his head, looking at An Suo.

Lu Yuan suddenly burst out laughing.

"Xiao Ansuo, are you trying to tell me that this place is too dangerous, why don't we go back to Longmen?"

An Suo was stunned at first, but his fair face instantly flushed. He quickly shook his head: "No, Mr. Lu, I always follow Mr. Lu. Wherever Mr. Lu wants to go, I will go there, no matter how dangerous the place is."

An Suo refused to admit it.

Lu Yuan smiled silently at first, and then spoke.

"These days, everything you do has risks."

"Shi Huaiya, you catch criminals every day. How many criminals hate her these days? Will she quit because of this? Yuxia, as a business and finance expert in Upper City, may seem to have no enemies, but there are bound to be people who are jealous. Those jealous people wish Yuxia would be wiped out."

"Even you, Xiao Ansuo, used to offend people all the time. Sometimes, just by causing trouble, someone would want to kill you."

"Even if you're just an ordinary person, going to work every day."

"If you work a little harder and get praised by your boss, or receive a few hundred yuan reward, it will also arouse the jealousy of others."

"So, it's normal that I have many enemies around me."

"But you must remember, Little Ansuo, these enemies...can't kill me."

Lu Yuan's tone was extremely confident and calm.

"Of course I believe Mr. Lu. After all, you have even killed gods."

Recalling the scene of Lu Yuan killing the gods in the Great Wilderness City, An Suo couldn't help but feel happy at this moment.

After Lu Yuan said this.

An Suo immediately understood.

"I know, Mr. Lu!"

"I won't let my imagination run wild!!"

"Yes, that's it."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Why don't you go back and rest, little Anso?"

"No, Mr. Lu, I'll stay here with you."

As he spoke, An Suo walked to Lu Yuan's side, raised his slender hand, and pressed it on Lu Yuan's head.

The comfortable feeling of the head massage did not make Lu Yuan continue to talk about the gods, but he closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

The appearance of the deep-sea messenger did not make Lu Yuan think much.

In his opinion, even if the enemy was slightly stronger, he would ultimately just treat him as an ordinary enemy.

Although Lu Yuan has never taken the initiative to pick a fight, just because he doesn't take the initiative to pick a fight doesn't mean that others won't take the initiative to pick a fight with him. So Lu Yuan already has quite a few enemies now, so this one won't make a difference.

If anyone continues to find fault, I will just kill them.

the other side.

Just because Lu Yuan doesn’t care doesn’t mean that the Ursus side doesn’t care.

As soon as Speaker Witte returned to the palace, he reported to His Majesty Fyodor that Lu Yuan was safe.

Then he explained the whole story in detail.

"Deep sea? Deep sea??"

"Faith in the Deep Sea..."

Fyodor believed that although he was an emperor, he had read a lot of books in the past and had heard about major events in the world.

But this was the first time he truly knew about this organization that believed in the deep sea.

But when it comes to the deep sea.

The only thing Fyodor knew was the ocean south of Iberia.

However, there are only a few countries in the entire Terra that border the ocean, and Iberia has the largest area of bordering. As the northernmost landlocked country, Ursus naturally has a vague understanding of the ocean.

Even among the hundreds of millions of people in Ursus today, perhaps no one has ever truly seen the deep sea.

"Your Majesty, do you think this could be related to Iberia?"

"Although Iberia has fallen, I have heard that during its golden age, technology flourished and it instantly became a world power, even surpassing Ursus in strength."

"But then it ended inexplicably."

"Rumor has it that Iberia's technological advancements were due to technology from the deep sea."

"Your Majesty, do you think this is related to this?"

Fyodor nodded after listening.

If we talk about the root cause, this is possible.

Anyway, it is most likely related to Iberia.

Perhaps the Iberian officials are not aware of it, but this organization is most likely related to Iberia.

At this time, Speaker Witte said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that the most urgent task right now is to quickly eliminate this evil cult within the empire. Once that's done, we can use this as an excuse to send envoys to Iberia to seek an explanation."

"Mr. Lu once said that there is more than one of these people who claim to be messengers from the deep sea, and there may even be other believers under these messengers."

"These envoys are recruiting talents from all over the empire, and they even invited Mr. Lu. Does that mean that many more people throughout the empire have been invited? And the fact that there's been no news at all means... they've all agreed!!"

Speaker Witte raised this terrifying possibility.

After hearing this, Fyodor also felt a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Indeed, if it weren't for Lu Yuan, Speaker Witte would have known about this. Once the others agreed, they would definitely still be kept in the dark.

Little did they know that right under their noses a cult had been expanding at a considerable rate.

And this cult is weird and unusual.

Suddenly, Fyodor seemed to remember something.

"Mr. Speaker, could the recent defection of the peace-loving nobles and the silence of the pro-war faction be related to this?"

When Fyodor said this, Speaker Witte naturally thought of it.

"It is indeed quite unusual, Your Majesty!"

"Since this cult wants to invite capable, talented, and influential people to join, then incumbent officials and powerful nobles are naturally their first choices."

"Then Duke Reina! He must have been invited too!!"

"Combined with his silence over the past few months, I think!! He must be secretly plotting something huge!!"

"Your Majesty, I suggest you do not issue any notifications or intelligence. Immediately dispatch the Internal Guards! Go to the Duke of Reina's territory to investigate the situation, capture Duke Reina, and bring him back to Saint Steed Castle!"

"Although this may cause a backlash from the old nobles and break the rules! But I have a premonition! Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. If my guess is wrong, I will definitely take the initiative to take responsibility and will not embarrass Your Majesty."

Fyodor quickly shook his head: "Mr. Speaker, what are you talking about? You are my only right-hand man, the elder I trust most after my father's death!"

"I am the Emperor! Even the most important matters are decided by me, and I will take responsibility for everything!!"

After making a plan.

Several internal guards left Saint Castle.

Because this incident is too serious, the cult has threatened the country to a certain extent.

So the internal guards did not show any mercy.

It is naturally impossible to send ordinary troops to carry out such an important task, even the elite among those ordinary troops cannot do it. Only the internal guards can do it.

..........

"Is this the power bestowed by the deep sea? How is it?"

In a special underground laboratory somewhere in Ursus, a black-robed man who called himself the Deep Sea Messenger looked at the four nobles who had completed their transformation and smiled slightly, a rare moment.

And beside the man in black robe.

At this moment, the old Duke Reina has become like an old tree that has regained new vitality. As time goes by, he is showing signs of returning to his old age.

The wrinkles on the face gradually disappear and the radiance is restored.

At first glance, the whole person no longer looks like the hunchbacked old man in his eighties, but more like a middle-aged man in his fifties.

However, the four nobles trusted by the old Duke Reina, including Marquis Bekmit, did not immediately accept the "evolution" baptism from the Deep Sea Sect.

Because according to what this messenger said.

Only those lucky enough to have a high affinity with the deep sea are eligible to "evolve" and enter a new realm.

Only two of these four are qualified to 'evolve', and the other two can only watch with envy as they gain new powers, complete their mortal transformation, and embrace a brand new life.

The skin of Marquis Bekmit, who had completed his 'evolution', was covered with purple scales.

But compared with the clearly felt strength and vigorous vitality, what does such a small change in physical form mean?
