229. Unexpected [two in one]
"I didn't expect it to be solved so easily."
After that war, Western aliens had no abnormal movements. After half a month of garrison, they sent the latest orders. Nogo himself brought Lin Yu and Esdes back to the imperial capital.
However, this time, Lin Yu was actually just accompaniment. Only Nogo and Esdes were actually recalled. Lin Yu, who did not show too much in the war, was also happy and enjoyed the afternoon sun leisurely in Nogo's mansion. However, he didn't expect that he would sit like this for a day until the sky was getting darker and the door of the mansion was opened.
"You really don't care at all."
Asdes walked in through the door with a strong aura, and narrowed his eyes as soon as he saw Lin Yu's lazy appearance.
"It took so long to ask you to go in, what did you do?"
Lin Yu cheered up slightly. It has been a whole day since Asdes entered the palace. His eyes casually scanned the girl's body. He seemed to have seen something familiar to this girl's version of Asdes.
"Wait, that's!"
Lin Yu, who was originally a little listless, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to have grown up in one day. There was a strange pattern like a tattoo on her chest!
"You have obtained the imperial instrument?!"
Lin Yu will never forget that pattern he has seen countless times in anime. The Emperor of Blood: ‘The Gods and Demons appear and the Demons’ simplicity!’
"Oh? I was going to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to find out."
The arrogant smile that only existed in Lin Yu's memory appeared on the corner of Esdes' mouth. Ice crystals appeared around her body. It was the ability that once belonged to Lin Yu, the power of manipulating ice!
"How could it be so fast?"
Lin Yu never thought that Asdes would have obtained the imperial instrument so soon. You should know that when she accumulated enough military achievements in the original work, she had already grown into a royal sister when she was led by the minister to select the imperial instrument. Now she is clearly just a girl. In other words, Asdes obtained the imperial instrument that already belonged to her several years in advance!
"Quick? I feel so too."
Esdes did not deny that she was surprised to obtain imperial instruments so quickly. She was never an arrogant person, nor a reckless man with only strength but no strategy. It was already quite difficult for her to obtain her own imperial instruments within three years in her plan.
However, after meeting the emperor today, she was made an appointment by the minister alone. After a conversation, the minister actually opened the treasure house for the empire to store imperial tools for her, where she gained the power that she had even had the confidence to fight Lin Yu with all her might!
"Anyway, this is a good thing, at least..."
Esdes's eyes were staring at Lin Yu as if he was looking at his prey.
"I already have the strength to challenge you!"
Both of them had only each other left in their eyes, so they even forgot to follow Esdes and enter the mansion while talking!
"Enough to challenge Lin Yu's strength? What does it mean?"
Nogo's heart hopped suddenly and his eyes looked at Lin Yu. If it were normal, Lin Yu's appearance might make him ecstatic, but if Lin Yu and Esdes were put together, it would seem too mediocre. Esdes' growth rate also proves his vision. From the time we met, Esdes has grown to a jaw-dropping level in just over a month.
Nogo could feel the trembling aura on Esdes who had obtained the imperial instrument. He had no doubt that Esdes now even had the strength to face an army of ten thousand people alone!
And Esdes, who has such strong strength, actually said in person that she had just had the strength to challenge Lin Yu!
"Has I misunderstood?"
Nogo saw no trace of Lin Yu's body that was comparable to Esdes. Whether it was in its momentum or other form, Esdes almost completely crushed Lin Yu.
"Although your growth rate is terrifying, you have just obtained the imperial instrument? Is it too early for you to challenge me now?"
Lin Yu stood up from the stone bench, and his indescribable temperament rose from him and competed with Esdes. It was not until this time that Nogo's doubts were finally resolved. Lin Yu was the one who was hidden the deepest!
"That's hard to say, you can only know after you have fought."
Crack, Crack, Crack...
A hint of cold air spread from the two of them, and the frost visible to the naked eye condensed in the courtyard, and the lush grass looked snow-white.
"I didn't expect you to grow up so quickly to the point where you can fight me with all your might. But now, you shouldn't plan to decide the winner with me today, right?"
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Nogo discovered that the momentum that was still as strong as water and fire just now suddenly relaxed. The two of them restrained their strength at the same time, as if they were standing in the yard like nothing happened. If it weren't for the grass being covered with white frost, it would be impossible to see that the two were still facing each other before.
"Hey, General Nogo is here too, I'm really sorry."
Lin Yu turned his gaze to Nogo. He hid his strength but didn't want to go to the palace to meet the ministers. Even if Nogo found out his true strength, it would be fine. Anyway, he didn't plan to become an official, just stay by Esdes's side.
"No, it's okay."
Nogo, who was too surprised, spoke a little stumbled, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. It would be a good thing for him to join the empire's camp.
"This time I entered the palace, there should be something else I gained besides getting imperial tools?"
Since the minister even handed over the imperial equipment to Asdes, it means that Asdes has gained his recognition and will not be stingy compared to other aspects. After all, what he needs is a minion of sufficient weight.
"It's really you."
Esdes's mouth curled up slightly: "Don't promote me to the youngest general in the empire!"
The general of the empire is not an ordinary official position. If he is a civil servant, the minister can have the final say, but the general is different, because this position is under the jurisdiction of the general Bude!
"You can actually get the approval of the minister and General Bud at the same time?"
It’s not that Lin Yu was surprised. Bud was a real old antique. He insisted on his ancestral teachings and did not interfere with the government. If Esdes wanted to become a general, it would be useless to nod his head alone, and he would definitely have Bud’s approval.
"You said those two big guys, although I don't know why, I should still be more popular with them."
Although Esdes said this verbally, she definitely did something in the palace to lead to the different look of the two powerful figures of the empire.
"Which of them do you prefer?"
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Asdes's answer was crucial. He didn't want this girl to become the minister's private thug like the original work.
"Why should I lean towards one of them?"
Esdes' tone was full of pride, as if he was disdainful to be inferior to others. This answer was unexpected to Lin Yu.
"Did you choose neutral?"
Lin Yu frowned, but then he relaxed. After reading the original work, he knew what the minister wanted.
A existence that has no desire for power and has enough to shock the entire empire!
The minister has always been looking for such a person to compete with Bude. Although he had great control, he had to take into account the existence of General Bude in this empire. If the empire was divided into two factions of civil and military, he represented "civility", and Bude represented "military". In terms of force, as long as Bude was willing to take the minister's life at any time, this was something that the minister could not tolerate, and the existence of Esdes obviously allowed him to see this hope.
"Why can't it?"
Yes, as Esdes said, why not?
The conflict between the minister and Bude is not yet prominent. As long as Bude is limited to his ancestral teaching for one day, then the minister will have absolute power. Now training Esdes is just for the sake of making plans for the future.
As for Asdes's sidelines, it is actually not important. A minister who is only interested in war has enough confidence and means to make Asdes use it for him, even if the two of them are not actually the same passers-by!
"That means that from now on, I will call you General Esdes?" Lin Yu smiled on his face: "I should be your subordinate now, right?"
"It's true that I deserve to be the one I value."
Asdes also laughed. With her personality, how could she let Lin Yu go, the only person who could suppress her?
"I didn't have enough power before, but now it's different. I already have imperial tools and powerful enough power. Lin Yu, sooner or later I will conquer you!"
Should I say that I am worthy of being the Queen of S? After drinking the demon god, Esdes' hidden S attribute was undoubtedly exposed, and Lin Yu, who had been crushing her in power, was naturally the first to be the target of her conquest.
"No!"
Lin Yu also rarely toughened: "No matter how strong you gain, the one you are conquered will only be you!"
"Then let's wait and see!"
The two of them declared each other in this small courtyard without any other people, and a battle between them was inevitable.
"General Nogo, thank you for your care during this period, I will take this guy away first."
The two looked at each other with affectionately for a long time before moving away their eyes. Asdes grabbed Lin Yu's collar and dragged it outwards. Lin Yu was also unwilling to be outdone and carried the girl's back collar without any regard for her image and disappeared at the door.
"It seems that the Empire will have two more powerful men of the level of General Bud in the future."
Nogo has always been loyal to the empire, and he has heard of the conflict between the minister and General Bude, but he is unwilling to interfere. As long as the empire can continue to exist, it will be enough for him.
The two of them pulled and pulled into a luxurious mansion. Needless to say, this house was definitely prepared by the minister. There was no servant inside. The minister was smart. He only needed Asdes to do his job for him. If the servant prepared in advance, it would inevitably make Asdes think that these were his people, which would only increase the gap. So he simply did not prepare anyone. Asdes had just waited for Asdes to truly obtain military power, Asdes would have the final say on what the servant wanted.
"Tsk tsk, such a big mansion, it's really generous to take action!"
Lin Yu had no doubt that the minister had prepared this mansion long ago, otherwise it would not be easy for the emperor to find such a large mansion.
"It doesn't matter what the mansion is. In three days, we will go to the outskirts of the imperial capital in three days!"
Asdes' ice blue eyes stared at Lin Yu in the night sky. If another girl said this, Lin Yu would probably misunderstand that this was the rhythm of a date, but Asdes said this, there was only one possibility - a date!
"Three days later? Is it too hasty?"
Three days can be said to be in the blink of an eye. Asdes has just obtained the ability of a Emperor. Can he really adapt in such a short time?
"Enough!"
Asdes showed a confident smile, Lin Yu shrugged indifferently. He forgot how terrible the talent of the person in front of him was. She was not a useless person like him. It took so long to get the huge power of existence to adapt. Asdes was born to live for battle, and her power was already hers. Three days were enough to tame it!
"Okay OK, you have the final say. Who made you a general now and I am just a soldier?"
Lin Yu shrugged helplessly, but a malicious smile soon appeared on his face.
"Then can we go to bed?"
After Lin Yu said this, Esdes understood what he meant and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Don't want to sleep with me until you become my thing!"
Esdes's eyes were even more aggressive than Lin Yu. If she hadn't fully grasped her power, she would have wanted to fight Lin Yu now. Lin Yu was the only person who could make her possessive.
"Then let's start fighting now!"
Lin Yu's expression was very serious, but Esdes was ready to refuse. After all, if she was fighting with Lin Yu now, she would really not have any confidence to win.
"Don't hesitate, I'll definitely lose!"
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Esdes's face became gloomy.
"What does it mean? Does it seem to you that I need your concessions to win?"
"No, no, no." Lin Yu waved his hand quickly.
"Don't I want to belong to you earlier? I always refused to let me cross the line a few days ago. If I belong to you, then the other way around will be the same? I haven't bought a new pillow for a long time."
