In a corner of the room, an ant, completely black with a faint dark red glow, shook its antennae at the air.

Chapter 337 Nuss Guardian
"Wow, this guy actually knows the emperor of the empire... It seems like they have a pretty good relationship. I didn't expect that."
Qi Ji received sensory information collected by hundreds of mini puppets distributed in the Imperial National University and its surrounding areas. He immediately noticed the conversation that took place in a corner of the school and was a little surprised:
"Looking at Romon's performance... he seems to be worried that his mortal enemy would choose today as the day to take action? In other words, those 'big enemies' belonging to the 'New World' sect...
“However, what Emperor Octavius VIII said does make sense.
"No matter how crazy those guys are, they won't be so ignorant as to charge into the muzzle of the guns of more than half of the country's top combat forces. This is not bravery, but seeking death.
"If it were me, I would also make the same inference..."
She paused as she whispered this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a meaningful and slightly playful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"——The premise is that I only know the most superficial situation."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked in a certain direction to the side.
Because she is currently at a higher altitude, she has a wider view.
Looking around, one can easily cast one's gaze beyond the main campus of the Imperial University with its numerous buildings, past the upper city and the imperial palace circle, with their generally low and small villas and mansions, and their stacked, intricately designed roofs and towers, all the way to the end of the horizon.
There, at the core of Twilight City, the "Twilight Palace", which serves as the royal palace and the emperor's residence, stands tall.
The majestic and flamboyant outline is like a mountain range crawling on the ground, and the orange-yellow outer wall emits a timeless and deep halo like the setting sun under the morning light.
"The Imperial Palace... I've always wanted to visit it, but I always got delayed by other things... There's no reason to delay it this time. I'll go in and take a look after I'm done with this..."
She turned her gaze away from the distant silhouette, and suddenly she had an association, her watery eyes flickered slightly:
"...Tsk, they don't have that kind of plan, do they?...If that's the case, should I intervene?..."
"Ah! Look!"
"what is that?!"
"This kind of thing... is here too!?"
"..."
Suddenly, a huge commotion and noise broke out all over the campus, interrupting her reverie.
"……What's wrong?"
Qi Ji was a little confused at first, not quite sure why the teachers and students in the school were suddenly so agitated. But when she focused her attention back to the present senses, even she couldn't help but feel touched.
A huge shadow had covered half of the campus at some point.
And it grew bigger and more solid, like the shadow of a giant's foot.
Feeling a little surprised, Qi Ji raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky which was approaching noon.
All I saw was a large, angular, strong and sharp silhouette that blocked a small half of the sky in my field of vision.
"Boom——"
What followed was a low, powerful, and extremely shocking roar, not loud but extremely penetrating, like an endless stream of thunder, which did not come from the outside world but was produced by resonance within the human body.
It pressed down from high in the sky like a rotating millstone, causing those who heard it to shrink their necks involuntarily.
It was some kind of extraordinary energy, making a long roar as it was released freely.
“…The setting sun!”
"It's an airship!! The airship of the Imperial Royal Fleet!!!"
"Who, who has a Tuolu device? Lend it to me, I want to take a picture! I must take a picture!!"
"Uh, I remember that we can't just take real images of military units, right?"
"I can't care less! Besides, since it's in front of so many people, it doesn't matter if I take a picture of it!"
"..."
There was a brief silence on the campus for a few seconds, as if the mute button had been pressed, but then an uproar broke out that almost tore down all the buildings, and excited and enthusiastic shouts filled every corner.
"... Was this thing also ordered by the emperor? It's quite big..."
Qi Ji looked up at the huge figure that was gradually approaching and lowering, and couldn't help muttering:
"I think I've come across this kind of thing once... It's pretty cool, and basically fits my industrial aesthetic. I'll make one for fun when I have time."
She recalled the incident that happened when she sent Gary's family and Nancy from Roon City to Sunset Harbor:
At that time, halfway through the journey, the flying vehicle she made accidentally encountered an air fleet, and it seemed that it scared the other party quite a bit.
No one knows how the crew will react to their superiors after returning, and what impact it will have on the situation in the empire and even the human world.
Anyway... now a similar ship has arrived at the Imperial National University?
It's also fate...
Qi Ji restrained his perception and simply scanned the giant ship that was gradually descending in altitude. He discovered that in addition to its power core, there was also a powerful aura inside that reached the fourth realm.
"This should be the man nicknamed 'Imperial Shield', right? I think his name is Nuss... Is he the leader of the Royal Fleet? Wow, so this ship is for him, how impressive."
While I was daydreaming, the huge airship had already lowered its altitude to the limit, and its bottom was almost touching the higher roofs of the school.
At such a close distance, the oppressive feeling of this huge ship is truly fully reflected.
Seen from the ground, because the target was facing away from the sun, the red and white paint was difficult to see clearly. At first glance, all one could see was a sharp, dark outline, like a low, dark cloud.
The penetrating roar of the engine was like a thunderstorm gathering in the dark clouds, striking the heart of a certain onlooker.
The airship that came to pick up the Royal Fleet Admiral "Imperial Shield" Nus Guardian was obviously much smaller than the Royal Fleet's flagship "Canglan Trail", and its length from head to tail should not exceed two hundred meters.
But even so, the overwhelming sense of oppression still left everyone speechless.
The teachers and students who were originally talking excitedly stopped talking at the same time, looked up at the top with nervous expressions, held their breath, and dared not breathe, as if they were worried that it would suddenly fall and crush everything underneath.
"boom--"
In the suffocating silence and solemnity, a small square hole slowly opened up at the bottom of the airship - although it was called a "small hole", it was only relative to the entire ship, and it was actually more than ten meters in size.
The friction sound of the heavy and rough mechanical structure makes one's scalp tingle, but also makes one's heart surge.
"brush!"
Amid the sharp cry of steam release, a vague black shadow fell from the open "small hole" without any warning and fell straight downwards.
Most people didn't notice it due to their limited vision, but it certainly didn't escape Qi Ji's eyes. She immediately looked closely, and the true form of the black shadow was clearly presented in her dark brown eyes.
"That's him... He has a typical American tough guy look."
He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a red and white Royal Army officer's uniform with a long crimson cloak draped behind him. He was extremely tall and strong, with strong and harmonious muscles bulging through the uniform.
Combined with his resolute, confident, and serious face, and the soldier's temperament honed by his military career, he forms an aura that looks like a village ruffian at first glance, but exudes a strong sense of authority and persistence.
It's not something an actor can recreate.
"Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, 'Shield of the Empire' Nuss Guardian..."
Qi Ji quietly watched this person falling to the ground at a natural speed, recalling various information about him in his mind:
"A legendary master from the fourth realm of the Mage's Path, a 'Light Smelter' from the 'Giant' realm..."
Suddenly, the powerful middle-aged man seemed to have noticed something, and at the last moment before disappearing from Qi Ji's sight...
He suddenly turned his head and looked towards where she was.
For a moment, the two eyes met.
=========================
I have resumed updating! These days, as the New Year is approaching, I have been busy helping my family with chores (pasting up spring couplets, cleaning, etc.), and I have not been able to make enough time, so I have stopped updating for a while.
I'm so sorry, I beg for forgiveness QAQ
There are no eunuchs! Absolutely no eunuchs! Feel free to chase and raise them!
And...a new month, a new year, I wish you all a happy new year!
By the way, I shamelessly ask for monthly tickets! Steaming hot, fresh monthly tickets!
Chapter 338 Strange Activities
"Ouch!"
Qi Ji's pupils shrank slightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Before Nus Guardian in the distance completely focused his gaze on herself, she disappeared abruptly and without any transition, like a film being cut out.
"He actually noticed me? That makes no sense. Although I didn't hide my presence on purpose, I'm sure this guy's perception definitely didn't reach me..."
After decisively entering the "invisible" state, Qi Ji still stood in the same place, watching the figure of the Royal Fleet Admiral disappear between the rooftops of the towering buildings and could no longer be seen directly.
I couldn't help but feel a little confused and helpless:
"That means it's just a guess... Tsk, could this be the so-called... soldier's intuition? It's too mysterious..."
She hid her form before Nus Guardian could see her figure and appearance clearly, so there was no way the other party could remember what she looked like or what her physical features were.
But, their eyes met for a moment after all.
No matter how short it lasted, as a "metallurgist" in the "giant" field who excels in physical fitness, he would definitely notice a figure flashing by on the roof in the distance, staring at him.
As for whether this officer, who was second only to the emperor and above all others, would treat that momentary awareness as dazzle and forget about it, or would he remember it and get to the bottom of it...
That's not something Qi Ji can judge.
"Well, whatever. Even if he decides to investigate thoroughly, it's none of my business... Go ahead and see what you can find out. I can still watch the show."
After a brief thought, Qi Ji no longer worried about this matter.
She shrugged indifferently, and her figure suddenly shook slightly, and she appeared at the foot of the building where she was originally, standing on the sidewalk paved with square stone bricks on the campus.
"I'm free now, so I have nothing to do...why don't we go watch some performances? Maybe we can find something fun..."
Although Qi Ji can easily see the situation of almost the entire school through the mini reconnaissance puppets distributed throughout the campus, there is always a difference between observing through the "camera" and seeing it with one's own eyes.
"Let me see what these little brats are doing... um..."
Therefore, she immersed part of her attention in the sensory information collected by the mini puppet, and quickly browsed the overall picture of the school, trying to find some activities or content worth watching.
Her thinking and calculation ability were so strong that she noticed a temporary site located near the northwest gate of Beiyuan in a flash.
"Uh, what is this doing?"
After taking a few glances through the nearby reconnaissance puppets, she only saw about dozens of people gathered together in a relatively wide green area in the forest.
Next to the crowd, a sign was erected using simple materials, with a line of large and eye-catching handwritten words on it:
《Heart-pounding adventure! Overcome difficulties with friends and loved ones~! 》
"What the hell is this?"
This line of incomprehensible text made Qi Ji stunned for a moment, and he had no idea what the content of this activity was.
So she observed the actions and reactions of the participants, trying to infer the form or purpose of the activity.
But after looking at it for a long time in confusion, she became even more confused.
I saw those people in the middle of the crowd, all standing in pairs on either side of a small square table, with their upper bodies buried deeply, their faces almost pressed down to the height of the table, and they seemed to be operating something seriously.
besides……
“…Ahhhhhhhh!!! What the hell are you doing?! Why are you letting go!!!”
"You blame me?! Is this my problem!?"
"If not you, who else can I blame? If you hadn't let go, it would have worked this time!"
