Outside the palace, the crowd dispersed.
Logo and Qiya walked side by side, attracting many secret glances.
One of them is a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Royal Court, and the other is a Grand Duke. They are the focus of attention wherever they go, let alone when they walk together.
"Thank you," Qiya said softly.
Logo, of course, knew what she was thanking him for. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing. Next time you encounter this situation, just ignore them, shut off your hearing, and close your eyes. You won't have to endure the harassment."
"Wouldn't that be a bit impolite?" Qiya asked hesitantly.
Logo Earth Dao irritably, "Politeness is for people, why are you talking about politeness with animals?"
Hearing this, Qiya's eyes curved slightly, and she smiled.
"Alright, now that the party's over, goodbye," Logo said, turning his head.
Upon hearing this, Qiya was taken aback at first, a hint of reluctance flashing in her starry eyes, but she still said, "Goodbye."
The two waved goodbye, but Logo had only taken one step when a hand landed on his shoulder. "Kid, what's the rush? Chat with me a little longer."
It is the Grand Elder.
Logo turned around and said helplessly, "You really are elusive."
Grand Elder: "What are you talking about? I'm called appearing and disappearing without a trace."
"They all mean the same thing," Caesar muttered from behind.
Logo glared at Caesar, then said, "Elder, please don't be offended. Caesar just has that kind of mouth; he doesn't hold back. He meant no harm."
"Alright, no need to explain. I've seen plenty of foul-mouthed guys, one more won't make a difference." The Grand Elder seemed magnanimous, or rather, he was always quite forgiving in these kinds of trivial matters, only teasing the other party afterward.
"I wonder if the Grand Elder has anything else to discuss with me?" Logo asked, turning his head as he walked.
"Nothing much, just chatting for a bit."
After saying that, the Grand Elder Earth Dao casually, "What do you think of the Night Watchers?"
Logo paused, a subtle expression appearing on his face. "The Night Watchers... are naturally excellent; each and every one of them is Champion of the Gendaya People, a chosen one of heaven."
"Then... do you have any thoughts about joining the Night Watchers?" the Grand Elder chuckled. "If you join, I can promise you entry into the inner circle."
The core of the Night Watchers consists of the original one hundred positions.
Although the Night Watchers expanded to over 10,000 after the Great Calamity a century ago, most of them are actually peripheral members who do not have access to many resources and intelligence.
Only the core members are the true Night Watchers, receiving a massive influx of resources from the Royal Court, and swearing an oath never to vie for the throne, but only to protect their people.
The Elder's words echoed in his mind, Logo's face lit up with surprise. "To become Night Watchers is naturally my honor."
"However, Logo feels that his abilities are insufficient and his talent is not high enough. The core Night Watchers are the super elites of our race, and I am far from reaching that level. If the Grand Elder thinks highly of me and allows me to join the Night Watchers as an outer member, I will be content."
"Outer circle members..." The elder pondered these words, a strange light appearing in his eyes as he looked at Logo.
The implication of forgoing the opportunity to become a core member and choosing instead to be a peripheral member...
"Kid, I didn't expect you to have such big ambitions," the Grand Elder said, looking at Logo with a half-smile.
Logo smiled without saying a word, simply staring straight into the Grand Elder's eyes, which seemed to flicker with fire.
The elder recognized that flame; it was a burning ambition.
"Heh, not bothering to hide it anymore?"
"Elder, what are you saying? When have I ever tried to hide anything?"
"Sharp tongue! But that's fine too. Ambition is also a drive for progress. A person without ambition is just a piece of trash." The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming serious. "But to become a king, ambition alone is not enough. Prestige, power, money, connections, an army, strong people... none of them can be lacking."
You're still a long way off!
"The Elder is right. However, I still have a long way to go. I am far from perfect now, but that may not be the case in the future."
"Very well, I'll wait and see how you perform. If you truly impress me, I'll help you ascend the throne!" The Grand Elder said this while looking directly into Logo's eyes.
After saying that, he nodded to Qiya, and then disappeared in a flash.
"Boss, judging from the Elder's posture, is he going to help us?" Crassus stepped forward and asked.
Logo narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who knows if he only said that to me? Take what important people say with a grain of salt; don't have too high expectations. In the end, you can only rely on yourself."
Crassus nodded thoughtfully.
Let's go.
Finally, Logo waved to Qiya and the rest of the group disappeared.
Watching the boy's departing figure, Qiya remained stunned for a long time before turning into a phantom and disappearing.
Clear waters flow gently, and flowers bloom in vibrant colors.
In a garden with stunning scenery, a knight in bright yellow armor leans against a large tree, resting with his eyes closed. Beside him lies a crimson Lion.
Footsteps approached, and the knight opened his eyes, his azure pupils as vast as the ocean.
Brown hair and blue eyes are typical physical characteristics of the Geya People, Geya People are the main ethnic group of the Dawn Empire.
Soon, the group from the White Wolf Kingdom came into view.
"How's it going?" Damengsi asked, leaning against the tree trunk.
Ademu bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, I have done as you instructed."
"What is the reaction in the palace? Do you think the relationship between the White Wolf Clan and the Gendaya Royal Court will be strained?"
"That... it's hard to say. With that elder keeping things in check, and with almost all of the White Wolf Clan's direct descendants dead or wounded, even if a rift develops, it probably won't be a big deal."
Damengsi nodded slightly. "Hmm, that's about what I expected. It's alright, it's just a side move anyway; the Dragon Blood Clan is the real issue."
Ademu smiled faintly, "Now, news of the Dragon Blood Clan's rebellion has begun to spread rapidly. I believe that this incident will severely damage the morale of the Royal Court, making it more conducive to the implementation of the peaceful evolution strategy."
"Notify the intelligence department to closely monitor the movements of the Gendaya Royal Court, especially their military operations. We hope they will act impulsively and attack Dragon Blood Island, although... the chances are slim."
"Your Highness is right. Although the Right Chancellor is reckless, the Left Chancellor Alex is an absolutely formidable opponent. Over the years, he has caused us huge losses, both openly and secretly. He is a cautious man and will never send troops to Dragon Blood Island. Even if he were to attack, it would definitely be a feint," Ademu said in a deep voice.
Damengsi raised an eyebrow and looked up at Ademu. "Heh, speaking of which, isn't this Left Prime Minister also Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants? Your White Wolf Kingdom has tried to win him over time, but he hasn't been tempted at all?"
"This... how could I possibly interfere in turning such an important figure?" Ademu said, head bowed.
"Well, compared to that Grand Elder, even the Left Chancellor Alex is insignificant. Alas, I never imagined that the Gendaya Royal Court was so well-hidden, the Night Watch Force..." Damengsi sighed. If it weren't for the Night Watchers, the Gendaya Royal Court might have collapsed long ago.
