The death of the physical body has no effect on Giant Beast, so in order to allow An Xiu to better deal with the age of Giant Beast, Sakura chose to give this [elimination] card that he made not long ago to An Xiu for use.

[Elimination] card, with True Magic that makes life and things disappear.

In terms of lethality alone, An Xiu believes that this card in Cardcaptor Sakura's original work can be called the strongest among all Clow Cards. To some extent, it is more terrifying than the four elements cards of earth, water, fire and wind, and second only to the [none] card.

With the ability to make life and things disappear, Eliminate Card can literally make people or things evaporate directly from the world, thus completely erasing their existence at the root.

And this kind of ability can be called the nemesis of all immortal abilities. After all, no matter how immortal you are, it is of no use if the existence itself disappears.

The only shortcoming of this card is probably that it consumes a lot of money to use Magic Resistance, but with its powerful ability, this shortcoming is nothing.

"Then, An Xiu-ge, Sakura will go back first."

After completely solving the millet problem and leaving behind Eliminate Card, Sakura bid farewell to An Xiu and returned to the world of DanMachi.

In the Side Hall's room in the palace, An Xiu also put Eliminate Card away, and then looked at Mao, who was constantly sensing his body with a somewhat dazed expression.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about Sakura's ability?"

"No, the little girl just now is very powerful. Now I can clearly feel that the connection that once made me uneasy has been replaced by a more powerful connection."

"This feeling of peace of mind... this is the first time I have experienced it."

After so many years, Shui has never felt the real sense of being alive as clearly as now.

The dark clouds hanging over his head in the past dispersed, but the price was that his life was tied to the man in front of him.

But Ma has no regrets about this. For Sui Fragment like them, being able to get rid of the influence of Sui is the best ending.

"In that case, then go back early and continue working. Don't forget that among your sisters, you are the only one who is seriously contributing to the empire. Your brothers and sisters' contributions are still waiting for you to save."

As mentioned before, among the Sui Family sisters who were brought back to the Holy Terra Empire, the eldest sister, Ling, was just a street kid. She couldn't find anyone when she was drunk. Nian ran away and opened Film Company and continued to go back to her old business of making bad movies. If she didn't lose money, it would be considered a success. The younger sister, Xi, stayed in the painting all day long without even leaving the house. The only one who did serious work was Mao.

In other words, the entire Sui Family now relies on Mao alone to work for An Xiu. All contributions are piled on Mao, and one person has to save the whole family's contribution share.

"Oh, can't you just let me be happy for a while longer?"

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood after resolving the shadows that had been brewing for many years, or maybe it was because the relationship between them became closer after they officially became their own people. At this moment, Mao also pretended to sigh and joked to An Xiu for the first time.

Soon, another few days passed.

On this day, outside the city of Londinium, the capital of the Holy Terra Empire, a car marked with the Kazdel Military Committee logo slowly stopped at the city gate. A tall and muscular man with blond hair and armor got out of the car, followed by several equally tall Sarkaz.

"We're here."

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city in front of him, Manfred had a somewhat complicated expression.

Not long ago, this place was still controlled by Sarkaz, and belonged to the eight Grand Duke Victoria who fought on their own. But now, just a few months later, the same city has completely different meanings behind it.

After all, Londinium is now the capital of the Holy Terra Empire.

"Is this Mr. Manfred, the representative of Kazdel's visit this time? Please leave with us and do not obstruct the normal passage of the citizens of the empire in front of the city gate."

The imperial personnel who had already received the news and were waiting and welcoming near the city gate immediately stepped forward after seeing the arrival of Manfred and others, and led several people to the imperial Foreign Guest Accommodation.

Along the way, after seeing this team, most of the citizens of Londinium frowned slightly and seemed unfriendly.

But this is normal. After all, Londinium was sidelined by Sarkaz just a few months ago. It is strange that these Londinium residents can have a good attitude towards Manfred and other Sarkaz.

Chapter 190: The smelly demon guy is coming to the empire to beg for food.

Although Manfred and the other delegations from Kazdel did not have a good look, but fortunately they were led by official officials from the empire, and some news that the empire wanted to establish cooperation with Kazdel had spread in the empire some time ago, so there was no trouble.

Some residents of Londinium who saw Manfred and others would at most complain about something like, "The stinky demons came to the empire to beg for food." Other than that, they still did whatever they were supposed to do.

Naturally, Manfred and even the Sarkaz accompanying them would not care about a few words. After all, given the situation of the Sarkaz family in Terra, even if someone pointed their noses and scolded them in person, Manfred and the others would not have the slightest fluctuation in their hearts. They would even wonder why the people they and others encountered were so low-aggression, and they did not take action directly.

"Arrived."

Bringing Manfred and others to Foreign Guest Accommodation located at Londinium, the leading imperial personnel said calmly.

"We will report His Majesty the Emperor about your arrival as soon as possible. During this period, you can rest here as you like."

"In addition, these are your Identity Badge. Please keep them. With Identity Badge, you can freely use all the facilities here. The canteen will provide free meals 24 hours a day. There will be service staff in the room to take you to choose. If there is anything that is not well received, feel free to ask."

After finishing what he said in a formulaic manner, several imperial personnel asked again if they had any questions. After receiving a negative answer, they left.

Manfred can naturally see that the attitude of these imperial personnel towards them is quite cold. It can be said that the whole process is just for official business. However, since they are Sarkaz, this is normal. They even treat Sarkaz and arrange them for official business. The attitude is already very good.

On the contrary, if these imperial people are too Passione towards their group of Sarkaz, Manfred will suspect fraud, and the other party behaves coldly and indifferently, then Manfred will believe that the cooperation between the Holy Terra Empire and Kazdel is true.

In Foreign Guest Accommodation, in addition to Manfred and his party, there were also some foreign officials from other countries. Since Holy Terra Empire suddenly increased the export volume of some grains during this period, and the prices were very affordable, most of these foreign officials representing various countries came here specifically to discuss trade shares with relevant departments of the empire.

At this moment, facing the arrival of Manfred and others, these foreign officials from other countries stood far away as if they had seen something dirty.

"Unfortunately, I was placed in the same resettlement center as this group of demons."

"The empire actually let these demons come in?"

"Perhaps that Emperor Talulah has some deep meaning. These demons are lucky enough to be able to eat on the table."

"Are the previous rumors true? I really don't understand why Holy Terra Empire would cooperate with these despicable Sarkaz."

"Have you forgotten? That Emperor Talulah originally started his career with the Wendigo Legion. This time he cooperated with Kazdel to expand the army and recruit some demons as cannon fodder. The lives of those demons are not worth anything anyway."

With Manfred's strength, he could easily hear the whispers of the officials not far away, or this group of people had no intention of avoiding them at all, but again, this situation was normal for Sarkaz, and neither Manfred nor the other Sarkaz cared about it at all.

After simply going to the canteen to eat some free meals, Manfred and others returned to the room and waited quietly.

Today's Londinium is not the Londinium that was originally controlled by His Highness Theresis. As the capital of the most powerful country in the land of Terra, if they do not want to bring disaster to Kazdel, Manfred and others must be careful in their words and actions.

"I just walked all the way from outside the city. I didn't find anything strange during this period. I didn't hear any news about the mobilization of the army on the way to Londinium."

"His Highness Theresis's worries did not come true, but as for the specific cooperation between the empire and Kazdel this time, we still have to wait until we meet Emperor Talulah to know the result."

I only heard Manfred in the room talking to himself, while the other Sarkaz also nodded.

"To be on the safe side, we will try not to leave the room during this period."

"Now, take the time to rest."

Although Holy Terra Empire and Foreign Guest Accommodation assigned each of them a separate room, for the sake of safety, Manfred and all the other Sarkaz chose to be squeezed into the same room.

Just like that, two hours later, Manfred and others finally received the notification from the empire.

"Everyone from Kazdel, come with me."

They were led all the way from Foreign Guest Accommodation to the palace by the staff of the empire, and then Manfred and others were taken over by the people in the palace and brought to the relevant personnel responsible for establishing cooperation with Kazdel.

They are, Talulah, who is sitting on the throne and watching the arrival of Manfred and others expressionlessly. For this Red Dragon emperor, most of the Terra countries in the entire Terra world do not have access to the Internet except for a few very few countries. Everyone is familiar with it. The horrific record of destroying the Three Kingdoms has made countless high-level officials from Terra countries tremble with fear. After seeing Mahito at this moment, just a look from the other party made Manfred feel an unspeakable amount of pressure.

Under Talulah, there are the Prime Minister of the Holy Terra Empire, Doctor who is wearing the hood that will remain unchanged forever, and An Xiu who is sitting aside watching the show.

In addition, there is a civilian staff standing aside who is responsible for recording, Hedley.

Since the other party had worked under him for a period of time, Manfred still had an impression of Hedley. Unexpectedly, when they met again, Sarkaz, who was also a mercenary, had already taken up a clerical job in the imperial palace.

Although I had heard before that Emperor Red Dragon would appoint infected people as officials, Manfred did not expect that the appointees even included Sarkaz.

Looking at Manfred's expression, Hedley can naturally guess what his former boss is thinking. In fact, it's okay for someone like him to hold a clerical job. Ines, who used to be in the mercenary group with him, is now in Imperial Assassination Squad was promoted to squad leader, and another girl Sarkaz named Mudrock served as the minister of the Civil Engineering Department, one of the important departments of the empire, at a young age. In terms of official position, she was already the first level under the Prime Minister.

That is to say, Manfred didn't inquire before coming, and Minister Mudrock usually keeps a low profile, otherwise it would not be the other party's turn to be surprised by his ordinary civilian job.

Chapter 191: Manfred: This is the attitude, it's right!

"Kazdel Military Committee, Manfred, I have met His Majesty."

Terra His Majesty the Emperor, the most powerful country on earth, was right in front of him. Manfred was not surprised for too long. He quickly came to his senses and respectfully saluted the emperor Red Dragon in front of him.

"Mr. Manfred, are you here this time to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations with the empire on behalf of Kazdel?"

Talulah, who was sitting on the throne, did not speak. Instead, Doctor, who was sitting beside him, crossed his hands to support his chin, and asked the tall blond Sarkaz in front of him in the classic posture of a certain commander.

However, due to the huge difference in body shape between the two parties, Doctor sitting on the chair looked like a little chicken compared to Manfred, who had a double-door refrigerator-like physique. Even in such a posture, it did not look oppressive at all, but rather made people laugh.

Of course, this is just the opinion of An Xiu sitting aside. In fact, with the blessing of Imperial Prime Minister's position, and the hooded uniform that makes it impossible to see his face clearly, Doctor doesn't even need to deliberately pose. Just sitting in his seat and doing nothing is enough to increase the psychological pressure of representatives from other countries.

Manfred is naturally no exception.

Facing Doctor's inquiry, the blond Sarkaz strong man spoke honestly.

"Kazdel is very honored that your country has established diplomatic relations with Kazdel. However, we still have some questions about the details of the establishment of diplomatic relations and hope to discuss it in detail with you."

The establishment of diplomatic relations between countries is not simply a verbal agreement. Policies related to industrial exchanges, business support, interest cooperation, etc. after the establishment of diplomatic relations require representatives from both sides and high-level officials to formulate them bit by bit after repeated exchanges and discussions.

Although there are none of the Kazdel mentioned above.

Industry? Kazdel There is a gross industry in that rotten place. The only one Mobile City is all pieced together. At first glance, I thought it was the work of some garbage man.

Business? Does Kazdel's characteristic Sarkaz mercenaries count as commercial activities? As long as the money is enough, you can kill whoever you want. There is also a second-hand market for Laterano's characteristic handguns. They are authentic Laterano origins. It is guaranteed that each gun is as original as if it was just snatched from Sarkaz. The only problem is that the purchase channel is not stable.

As for profit cooperation, that's even more nonsense. Given Sarkaz's reputation as a dog-hate in Terra countries, most of the top executives in other countries would rather send their profits to their competitors than even think about collaborating with Kazdel cooperated. When the eight Grand Dukes of Victoria plus one vote aristocratic warlords were in civil strife, it was a stroke of luck that the military committee led by Theresis was lucky enough to be allowed to enter the situation to stir up trouble.

The establishment of diplomatic relations between Kazdel and Holy Terra Empire this time is not so much a cooperation of interests, but rather a unilateral charity from the Holy Terra Empire to Kazdel. After all, this is an opportunity to build a good relationship with the most powerful country on the land of Terra. I don't know how many countries are willing to cooperate even at a loss.

Anyway, it's just some cheap labor force. You only need to sell out the interests of some untouchables to win the favor of the empire. I don't know how many unworthy high-level national officials in Terra will move forward.

Although they don't know it, Talulah's actual moral bottom line is that it is impossible to accept this kind of thing.

"Sit down."

After Manfred finished speaking, Talulah sitting on the throne spoke calmly.

Hedley, who was recording on the side, heard this and immediately brought a chair for Manfred.

In the eyes of Talulah, since Manfred came to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations with them on behalf of Kazdel, then it is normal for people to sit down and talk. It is impossible to let representatives of other countries stand and listen to them, right? For those who don't know, they thought it was an interrogation of prisoners.

However, in the eyes of Manfred, such behavior represents a different meaning.

This Red Dragon emperor actually gave me a chair to sit on instead of letting me stand, and even forced the lowly Sarkaz to kneel down because he was only worthy of kneeling to speak?

One thing is that Manfred was already prepared to face such difficulties and argue for it, but who knows that the empire seems to have no intention of doing so.

Did he not take Kazdel seriously at all, so he didn't even bother to do anything to make things difficult?

In view of Sarkaz's situation, Manfred can only think about the worst possible situation.

In this way, time passed slowly in the conversation and exchange between the two parties.

A few hours later, Manfred took a contract with the imperial seal and walked out of the palace with a few Sarkaz who had been waiting outside the conference room with a dazed look on their faces.

"Next, let Hedley send you all away, we will send you off not far away."

Talulah had no intention of sending people away from the palace in person. He just sent Hedley, who had been responsible for recording the conversation between the two parties, to send Manfred and others for a while.

After all, Talulah and Doctor still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, not to mention that An Xiu specially called them and Lapland and FrostNova tonight, Kal'tsit, Xintelaia and others had dinner together. Talulah and Doctor didn't want to be absent because they were dealing with government affairs too late.

On the other side, it was not until Manfred left the palace and walked on the street that he was walking in front of the team that he finally came back to his senses.

It was so smooth. The whole communication process was so smooth. There was no difficulty, and there was no deliberately hidden deceptive agreement. Even if there were problems in some places, they were all normal disputes of interest.

So strictly speaking, Manfred, who came here to test the situation, signed the agreement unknowingly during the communication process.

Damn it, after returning to Kazdel, will His Highness Theresis suspect that he secretly communicated with the empire?

No, the most important thing now is not this. What is important is judging from the empire's attitude towards them. Is it possible that Sarkaz can finally be treated like normal humans outside now?

Thinking of this, Manfred couldn't help but look at the pedestrians on the street, and then...

"What are you looking at, a stinky demon guy? He came to the empire to beg for food and his eyes are so fierce?"

"He~~tui!"

After getting it right, feeling the attitude of the surrounding civilians towards him and others, Manfred nodded in relief.

On the other side, inside the palace.

"The products in the new mall discount area should be refreshed soon. I don't know what good things will be available this time."

"Well... considering that my point balance is not very large now, I hope that some too expensive products will not be refreshed."

I saw An Xiu in the room opening System Panel and speaking.

PS: There will be another update in the morning.
