Aaron went to Pulmouth this time mainly to meet his allies in accordance with the agreement with the 'Keeper of Secrets'.
And the ally that the 'Keeper of Secrets' found for him was quite impressive, and it was His Majesty Arthur IX, Emperor of the Inves Empire!
Although Aaron didn't know how the 'Keeper of Secrets' instigated the opposition, he could barely discern some clues from the current struggle for royal power and divine power.
Of course, allies are allies, but 'keeping secrets' is also important.
At least, this is a good trump card that cannot be played out now.
Therefore, it is impossible for Aaron to go to the Mithra Palace and ask to meet Arthur IX.
Even how much the empire is controlled by the emperor is hard to say. I am afraid that once Aaron meets the emperor, the ‘Sons of Dawn’ from outside will come in and kill...
After the last meeting, the 'secret keeper' just gave Aaron a contact information.
As for how to meet Arthur IX, confirm that he really wants to resist 'Dawn', and how to formulate a plan, it is Aaron's own business.
It is quite difficult to be able to use the power of 'Secret Keeping' to guard such a big secret without letting so many divination masters from the Sun Church discover the clues.
Aaron took the public tram to the Queens District, went to a high-end restaurant called 'Anthem Restaurant', and booked a private room with a special number.
When the number was announced, a look of surprise flashed through the eyes of the waitress at the front desk, but she quickly covered it up.
Aaron came to the private box and ordered another roast lamb, a South Indonesian specialty vegetable salad, and a bottle of Imperial 20-year-old red wine.
Whether it's the previous special box or the ordering order here, it's actually equivalent to a secret code.
After it is released, someone will come to connect it soon.
Aaron touched his eyebrows and waited calmly.
…
Usain is the senior director of the Imperial Suppression Bureau.
He is in his thirties, has a strong face and is capable in his work.
Of course, these are not the reasons why he can hold a high position. The biggest reason why he can really climb to this position of real power is because he is a staunch imperialist in the Suppression Bureau.
Even in the Suppression Bureau, there are many factions, such as those who defect to a certain big noble or the church...
However, Usain has long been secretly loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and is truly a die-hard loyalist.
The task given was very simple. It was just to set up controls in a high-end restaurant and wait for a signal.
He had been waiting for years, and it seemed like the line would never be activated.
However, just today, he got the information that the secret code was activated.
Inside the office.
Usain put down the magical communication item in his hand, entered the changing room with a calm expression, and tidied up his clothes.
When he came out, he was dressed like a waiter.
Immediately, he stepped into the spiritual world and used the 'spiritual teleportation' to arrive at the wine cellar of the 'Hymn Restaurant'.
He is clearly a ‘Shadowless One’!
The mysterious knowledge and materials of this path came from His Majesty the Emperor's reward, which also made Usain refuse to turn to the side of the Church of the Sun.
Judging from the religious fanaticism there, even if he took refuge there, he would only be sent to the stake.
Of course, Usain had no intention of rebelling.
He picked up a bottle of red wine, took a deep breath, and walked into the specially prepared box.
"Sir...the 'Red Queen' you want!"
Usain smiled, pulled out the wine cork, poured the bright red wine into a graceful long-necked glass bottle, and began to shake it to sober up the wine.
The door to the box had been closed at some point, and a ceremony even more private than the spiritual wall began to operate.
"Sir, I won't ask you where you are from or what your name is...the order I received is to complete all your instructions!"
Usain whispered firmly.
Aaron glanced at this extraordinary man and knew that he should be the person sent by the emperor.
In fact, Arthur IX did not completely trust him. He just made Usain think that he was on the side of the royalists, and at most he could perform dark tasks such as assassinating the opposition nobles.
After all, who would believe that an imperial emperor would lead a rebellion?
Of course, even for this kind of task, this level of confidentiality is necessary.
'A chess piece, even tragically unable to establish a real channel of communication, because he is not fully trusted, so messages cannot be passed through him.'
While cutting the roasted lamb, Aaron said calmly: "Make up a reasonable reason so that I can get Lord Faneuil's ball invitation!"
"I understand. Are there any other requirements?"
As a senior member of the Suppression Bureau, Usain did this very easily and didn't ask any questions.
He knew that if he asked too many questions, he might die...
"No, the key is to make the arrangements reasonable..."
Aaron wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and poured a glass of red wine.
According to his information, at Lord Faneuil's ball, Arthur IX's most beloved daughter, Princess Sophia, the brightest pearl of the empire, may also be present.
This princess is the communication bridge chosen by Arthur IX!
Of course, Aaron also knew that when he was preparing to go to the ball, it was not possible that the princess would come, but that she would definitely come!
…
evening.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Remington.
"Mr. Parra...you are back." Mrs. Remington greeted politely.
Aaron could clearly feel that there was a bit of alienation in the other person's tone.
Probably because I feel that I am overestimating my abilities, and I am afraid that I will get into trouble, so I want to draw a clear line...
"Yes, I'm back."
Aaron said hello to Mr. Remington who was pruning.
"It's been a busy day." Mr. Remington wiped his sweat and asked with a smile: "Have you made any progress in your work?"
“Pretty smooth.”
Aaron answered with a smile.
"There are a lot of swindlers in Pulmouth," reminded Mr. Remington.
He felt that Aaron might have been deceived by some scammer.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
Aaron smiled in response.
This time, Mrs. Remington did not propose to have dinner together.
After dinner time.
Remington was lying on the sofa, ready to have a cigarette.
A high-end luxury carriage suddenly stopped in front of his house. There was a coat of arms representing the nobility on the carriage.
In this era, only the nobles still used this kind of carriage.
The Remingtons, who saw this scene through the window, looked at each other.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
After opening the door, a gentleman wearing a platinum wig greeted politely: "Does Mr. Para Love Toman live here? I am Lord Faneuil's butler and I am here to deliver the invitation to the ball!"
'He...he really did it! How long has it been?'
The cigarette in Mr. Remington's hand fell to the ground, his mouth half-opened, his face full of disbelief.
