Looking out the window at the heavily guarded guards.
Archbishop Azar lowered the curtains and asked: "Have you received any news? There was a murder in the street a few days ago."
Patrick said angrily: "Then what?"
In his eyes, in the large city of Mero, with a population of tens of millions, it is normal for conflicts to occasionally break out and cause casualties. Is it necessary to specifically mention it?
With their status, it is too disrespectful for them to pay attention to such a criminal case.
"I heard that this matter has alarmed the ANBU. Now the ANBU has dispatched a large number of manpower to arrest, but there is no news yet!"
Archbishop Azar naturally understood the disdain in Patrick's words, and did not tell the inside story.
It alerted a large number of ANBU personnel, but has not been arrested yet. The information contained in it is very large.
Patrick slowly sat up and asked seriously: "What news do you have?"
"You know Basia City!"
"I know, the highest scientific research city in the Melox Empire."
"The Theocracy's agents discovered a new type of warship from the Melox Empire that can fly in the air."
Patrick's pupils shrank slightly, and then he sighed.
"They really succeeded."
Bishop Azar narrowed his eyes slightly.
His testing has been completed and he has obtained the information he wanted.
Bishop Azar said: "It seems that your country has received the news a long time ago. This is because no theocracy puts it in the same position!"
Patrick didn't answer, so naturally he could hear the thorn in Bishop Azar's words.
Patrick said: "You should know about the floating city of the Kingdom of Langebel. Some time ago, the Maxim Republic and the Merox Empire jointly captured a floating city."
"What! Father God!" Bishop Azar could no longer remain calm.
"Then the Maxim Republic contacted you."
Patrick nodded.
Among the four countries in the Outer Continent, the United Magic Empire has the highest level of magical attainments, followed by the Merlox Empire, the Eastern Divine Theocracy and the Maxim Republic.
When it comes to developing the floating city, it is absolutely impossible for the Merox Empire and the Republic of Maxim to jointly develop it. No matter how friendly the boss and the second child are on the surface, they will secretly be compared with each other.
The Maxim Republic can only turn its attention to the United Magic Empire for cooperation.
Patrick said: "The research on floating cities is very complicated. It has been so long and there are no good results. The floating battleships gave me a good inspiration and I can use this as a breakthrough."
Bishop Azar took a deep look at Patrick and said: "The Theocracy is also willing to contribute to the research and development of floating battleships."
Patrick smiled and held out his hand.
“A pleasure to work with!”
Bishop Azar also showed a satisfied smile.
"This time our main goal is to have the Melox Empire support some of its maritime warship technologies. It is imperative to build a strong navy!"
Patrick nodded, and the two exchanged the skills and bottom lines needed by both sides to avoid being taken advantage of by the Melox Empire.
Rimuru Salamelo, the crown prince of the Merox Empire, dressed neatly as usual and walked towards the palace hall.
This is a weekly imperial meeting, and the governors of each province will come in person to report their work to His Majesty the Emperor.
In the past, you could easily travel from other provinces by taking the teleportation array. This time, after the continent was divided and the teleportation array was irreversibly disrupted, the governors of each province had to fly back and forth.
But these provincial governors were exhausted.
The governors of remote provinces spent four days a week on planes.
At the beginning of the court meeting, Rimuru quietly listened to the reports of all the ministers, and his unruly and angry look made many ministers secretly shocked.
Compared with Emperor Aslan who always had a gentle smile on his face, they disliked meeting the crown prince even more.
Too powerful, rigid in doing things, strict and unwilling to adapt.
However, considering that he was the son of the imperial concubine, all the ministers were relieved.
Compared to Emperor Aslan, the Crown Prince is more like a knight king.
"Xuan, the envoys of the Eastern God Theocracy and the United Magic Empire are here to see you!"
Azar and Patrick walked slowly into the hall and looked at the imposing Crown Prince Rimuru sitting on the throne.
Azar was very surprised.
"Azar (Patrick) has met His Highness!"
"No more courtesy!"
Rimuru is fifteen years old this year. He has been listening to his father's legendary life from scratch since he was a child, which puts great pressure on Rimuru.
However, the older the father got, the less he liked to take care of things, so Rimuru was appointed to the position of prince supervising the country before he was even ten years old.
Patrick looked at Rimuru carefully. As he grew older, he looked more and more like Aslan, which made Patrick couldn't help but smile.
At least the family continues.
After the emperor's greetings from the representatives of both sides, Bishop Azar said directly: "Your Highness Rimuru, regarding the return of the dragon, I wonder what your country's attitude is?"
Rimuru asked condescendingly: "Bishop Azar, what attitude do you want?"
Rimuru's expressionless face made Azar secretly admired.
Azar said: "Determination to deal with the dragon!"
Rimuru nodded, without answering directly, and looked at Patrick.
"What attitude do you want, Mr. Patrick?"
The corners of Patrick's mouth raised.
"The war with the dragon is inevitable, but the Imperial Navy has just been built and lacks combat effectiveness. The Empire hopes to send officers to study in your country and purchase your warships."
Rimuru nodded, looked at Azar, and asked: "Do you also have the same attitude, Bishop Azar?"
Azar's mouth twitched slightly.
This crown prince is a bit annoying.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Okay then!" Rimuru's volume increased slightly.
"This is waiting for me to report to my father before making a decision!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Patrick's face could not be held at all.
I felt like I was being played by my own grandson.
Azar said in a somewhat serious tone: "Your Highness Rimuru, the dragon is coming and time is running out. We should prepare for war in time."
"Indeed! The dragon is a big trouble!" Rimuru held his chin in pretending to think.
"Then you should ask your father more."
Patrick took a deep breath, and he clearly noticed the cunning flashing in Rimuru's eyes.
"Your Highness, in addition to discussing the dragon matter, the envoy has also prepared a gift for Emperor Aslan. I wonder if Your Highness can arrange it."
The meaning of Patrick's words is also very simple.
Since you can't make the decision, I'll talk to your father.
Rimuru smiled and nodded, saying: "The suggestion made by Sir Patrick is very good and accurate."
Patrick's mouth opened slightly. He was really speechless. He had no idea what the eldest grandson in front of him was playing.
Rimuru sneered in his heart.
If I knew where my father was? He would still be sitting here!
