Xi was sure that with her clearance, she wouldn’t receive any effective reply, unless her superiors needed her to take action.
“What about the trespasser? Was he arrested by the law enforcement team?” Vicki continued to ask. However, on second thoughts, she shook her head and said, “A trespasser who can kill the elven queen and high priestess must be close to being an Extraordinaire. Even if the law enforcement team could arrive in time, they wouldn’t have been able to stop him.”
An Extraordinaire was a rare powerhouse in Underground City and Vicki knew most of them.
She couldn’t imagine which one of them would suddenly cross the borders to kill the elven queen. This was against the Underground City’s ideals.
Vicki turned solemn and she asked Xi, “Are we going to engage in total war?”
!!
“I’m not informed about that yet, but the Marshal wants me to bring you back to Underground City,” Xi said.
Vicki was thoughtful. “I need to talk to my grandfather first. Please give me a sec.”
Xi nodded quietly.
Vicki went downstairs to her office and locked the door from inside. She lit up her bangle and dialed the connection.
Vicki looked at Ferdinand on the screen and directly asked him, “Grandfather, is Underground City going to launch a war on the Norland Continent?”
“Haha. Who told you that rumor? Or did you imagine that with your not-very-smart brain?” Ferdinand smilingly said.
“Xi said that the elven queen was killed by an Extraordinaire from Underground City. If not for war, why would someone kill the queen of a race?” Vicki asked.
The smile on Ferdinand’s face faded away and his voice turned grave. “It’s fine to tell you this. It wasn’t an Extraordinaire who killed the elven queen, but a mech who had the strength close to an Extraordinaire. However, this mech didn’t come from the military, and most probably came from the Immortels.”
“A mech?!” Vicki was shocked. As a mech’s controller, she knew very well what a mech with powers close to an Extraordinaire meant.
“Isn’t the Immortels a very low profile secretive organization? Why did they suddenly cross the borders to kill the elven queen so obviously? Are they trying to cause a war between the two worlds?”
“This matter is still under investigation and still under control. Currently, the possibility of a war erupting between the two worlds isn’t big.” Ferdinand shook his head. “I intend to go to the Norland Continent personally.”
“You’re coming to the Norland Continent personally.” Vicki was shocked. She looked around before saying, “Then, I’m not returning to Underground City first. I’ll be your guide when you arrive at the Norland Continent. I’ll bring you around to eat all the good food and play with all the fun stuff.”
“Do you really like the Norland Continent that much?” Ferdinand asked smilingly.
“I have already deemed the Norland Continent as my second homeland. The people here are also very adorable. Anyway… I don’t want a war to break out between the Norland Continent and Underground City. That will be horrible.” Vicki looked at Ferdinand sincerely.
She knew very well that, as the chief commander of the Underground City’s military, her grandfather had absolute control of the military and could make the decisions.
After thinking for a moment, Ferdinand said, “Fine, you will stay on the Norland Continent for the time being. You will return to Underground City with me later.”
The conversation ended and Vicki looked much more relieved.
Since it wasn’t the military that launched the attack and since Grandfather was going to come to the Norland Continent personally, it meant that the possibility of a war breaking out between the worlds was low.
Vicki only had a limited understanding of the Immortels that were causing trouble. She only knew that it was a mysterious and powerful organization. Apparently, it was intricately connected to some ancient plutocrats and families.
However, different from those evil organizations, the Immortels had never organized riots or terror attacks, so they were never on the military’s wanted list.
She didn’t expect this mysterious organization to suddenly cross the borders to kill the elven queen. Furthermore, they were using a mech that was close to an Extraordinaire’s level.
One had to know that the number of 10th-tier mechs in the military was very limited, and an Extraordinaire level mech was still just a concept. Its research and development had been at a standstill for thousands of years.
Did this mean that the Immortels’ mech technology was above the military’s?
This was a very dangerous signal.
The Extraordinaire mechs had a terrifying potential. If they could be produced in bulk and were beyond control, dangerous events could happen at any time.
However, instead of staying back in Underground City and investigating the Immortels, what was Grandfather going to do by coming to the Norland Continent so suddenly?
Vicki returned to the rooftop and walked towards Xi, who was standing at the edge of the roof. “Grandfather has agreed to let me stay in Rodu.”
“I have already received my orders.” Xi nodded.
Vicki asked Xi suddenly, “Tell me, what’s the possibility of a war breaking out between the worlds?”
“If it was 100 years ago, this possibility was zero. Underground City could easily complete a decapitation strike on all the races on the Norland Continent and stop the war in its cradle stage.”
“What about now?”
“The Norland Continent has an Extraordinaire now. He has just assembled all the races on the Norland Continent and sealed a Great Old One. He has an extremely high prestige and charisma and he understands Underground City and is wary of us.” Xi had a complicated expression. “The death of the elven queen was enough to make him prepare for a war between the two worlds.”
“Alex?”
“He was at the elves’ coronation and he killed that mech right there and then.”
“It’s indeed him!” Stars sparkled in Vicki’s eyes.
Xi cast a weird glance at her.
“Ahem… I mean his power has indeed reached the Extraordinaire’s level. Seems like he didn’t go all out at the ice sheets.”
“No, his power is growing and he’s still getting stronger.” Xi lamented. “And, he’s only 30 years old.”
“Unfortunately, he’s already married with kids.” Vicki sighed together with Xi.
“Keep yourself safe. Contact me any time if there are any sudden incidents,” Xi said. She then got into the spaceship and left.
“It will be horrible if a war breaks out,” Vicki mumbled to herself as she went downstairs. The actors were still in bed at this time, but a figure was moving in the dark on the stage.
“Is that a thief?” Vicki hid behind a stone pillar and stared at the stage.
It wasn’t a thief, but a maiden.
Accurately speaking, it was Angela.
Was she practicing on the stage? Even though Angela kept her voice soft, Vicki could hear that she was singing the lines from ‘Miss Black Cat’. Moreover, she was acting as the female lead.
“I didn’t expect that she’s so hard working.” Vicki was surprised, but she appreciated Angela’s hard work.
Angela acted out all the female lead’s parts once and Vicki kept nodding as she watched.
Even though there were still some problems with her singing, Angela’s acting was already show-worthy. Her talents were indeed remarkable.
Angela sat at the edge of the stage and sighed. “Sigh, when can I go back? The food here is horrible. If not for the pretty maestro, I wouldn’t have stayed on.”
