Chapter 363 Hidden Weapons
This peacock, forgive me for having to describe it this way, this peacock with an excessive amount of self-awareness - Prince Linaru was ostentatiously exuding hostility in front of him.
While greeting and talking with the guests, he gracefully turned his body, intentionally or unintentionally showing everyone the various details of the armor, and it was obvious that the main display target was Prince Alsiel standing beside him. Xiao Zhen lived up to his expectations and observed it carefully. Although he didn't understand why he had to wear armor for such an occasion, the workmanship of this armor was indeed very good, and the details were so exquisite that it could even compete with the best Ross products. However, Xiao Zhen has always been a pragmatist. He felt that this armor reduced its effective performance in pursuit of aesthetics. Instead of carving and decorating more exquisite patterns on the armor, he preferred to make a few more muzzles to fire energy cannons, or install built-in force field weapons. After staring at the armor and thinking about several modification plans that met his needs, Xiao Zhen felt a headache like an electric shock.
The culprit is still the peacock Linaru.
The way the Xiyiqi people express their emotions and communicate is to spray out smells. Emotions and their words are mutually integrated and complement each other. However, for the Heart-Eating Demon Xiaozhen, at this moment, there is not only the emotional stimulation of the strong smell, but also the overly concentrated self-awareness overflowing from this Prince Linaru. In short, it is equivalent to someone using a powerful loudspeaker to shout at Xiaozhen's ears with the force of a landslide and tsunami: "Admit it, Alsiel! You can't compare to me! I am the most beautiful!! I am the most beautiful!!"
The last time Xiao Zhen felt this kind of pain was when Yan Zhu passionately called out to Nirm's magic voice. So the prince thought carefully and quickly blocked him out.
After ignoring the annoying peacock, the prince began to look around with interest. So far, the guests who saw him have shown a kind of deliberate respect and courtesy. Many of them are sincere and respectful, and some are gloating and laughing under the surface of politeness. Some are jealous and cold, and even hateful, but none strong enough to kill him. The prince thought of the people he saw on the street. The hostility of some opponents among them was even stronger than the malice of the political opponents in the venue. Where are Prince Alsiel's real enemies? Are they among these upper nobles, or among the people? Or are they from those alien races that look like killer whales?
"Your Highness." A man came towards him and saluted.
The prince looked at her. She was a tall Xiyiqi, wearing a traditional dress with purple embroidery. In contrast to her gorgeous dress, her face was cold and harsh. The prince quickly found her name from his memory. She was Da Xi, the director of the Xiyiqi Intelligence Investigation Bureau. "I heard that you encountered a little trouble on the way here."
Oh? The news spreads fast. "It's nothing serious. There was no delay."
"I heard that someone illegally destroyed the traffic routes." There was a chill in Director Da Xi's eyes.
You know it very well. The prince chose his words carefully, "There was a small misunderstanding with the person who had arranged to meet with you in advance."
Da Xi stared at him, her eyes seemed to be exploring the prince's deep meaning, "Your Highness, the activities of some criminals have become more and more rampant recently. You need to be more careful."
Well, it is quite rampant. The prince has lost his life. The prince smiled. Considering that the person in front of him is the powerful head of Xiyiqi Intelligence, he can ask her for some information. "Illegal." He deliberately read it with a heavier tone. Director Daxi's superficial consciousness is still vague, without any subconscious association. He is indeed a professional who has received special training.
"The day after tomorrow is the diplomatic meeting." The prince said slowly. The diplomatic meeting the day after tomorrow was another official business that Conte mentioned that could not be postponed. According to the records on the prince's side, the other protagonist of this diplomatic meeting happened to be the Sadis.
Director Da Xi's expression turned a little ugly. "Your Highness, I admit to you that there are traitors who have been making small moves in the dark. But I also assure you that we are strengthening the prevention and control of the entire city to ensure that the diplomatic meeting the day after tomorrow will go smoothly."
The prince smiled and said, "Then my safety is in your hands."
"Yes." Director Da Xi lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Your Highness, I have another piece of news."
"What?"
Chief Da-hee's scent entered a private channel, which meant they were entering a secret communication that could not be eavesdropped on. (According to the informant, agents of the Overwatch Eye are currently operating in secret in Xiyiqi.)
"..." As far as I know, the non-staff agent of the Eye of Supervision is now pretending to be the prince standing in front of you. Yes, it is me. Are you surprised? Are you surprised? But the prince still maintained a calm and composed attitude and asked: (Oh? The Eye of Supervision? Do you know the purpose of their activities here?)
(We are investigating.) Her scent has become so faint that even the intelligence chief here is still cautious when mentioning the watchful eye that threatens the galaxy.
The prince asked again: (I have another question, who is that over there? The third one on the left in the front.)
Director Da Xi turned around and saw an alien guest who was obviously not from Xiyi standing not far from the venue. He was talking to the distinguished guest beside him. (Your Highness, he is a businessman who recently sailed here from the planet Gagasa. He has a legal license and his name is Sherlock Holmes.)
“…”
(Your Highness, do you want me to investigate him?)
(No, it doesn't need to.)
Director Daxi withdrew silently. The prince glanced at the alien merchant named Sherlock Holmes not far away, "Haha, your name is Sherlock Holmes, but I am still the great detective Poirot. Your intelligence agency was able to investigate that the Eye of Supervision is here, but didn't you realize that the mortal enemy of the Eye of Supervision is here too?"
"Sherlock Holmes", who was chatting happily with someone not far away, looked towards him, then looked away naturally as if nothing had happened.
This Holmes is an acquaintance that Xiaozhen met on Lola, the mortal enemy that the Supervisory Eye despises, and the shadowy detective from the Security Committee.
How did he get to Xiyiqi?
This trip has been weird since the beginning, with Ren Anzhi who came in out of nowhere, Duke Jill who suddenly boarded the ship, the Zhenxuan Special Drink that sold for an outrageous 700 million, Captain Liu Xingquan who disappeared mysteriously, and Prince Alsiel who died suddenly. Now even the Inspector of the Security Committee has come. Who can tell me what is going to happen here?
The prince thought of the Black Box Society that Mr. Cat had vaguely mentioned. Could it be that the projection of the inspector was also for the Black Box Society?
He had a hunch that this planet might really become very lively in the future.

Princess Alji
Contrary to what the prince had expected, Princess Xiyiqi's graduation ceremony was not a formality such as a speech, but a real fight.
Princess Alji, the daughter of Prince Alsher, was standing on the stage. At this moment, she was no longer the little girl who had just been hiding behind the curtain and peeking at him. She was wearing a neat short-sleeved outfit, holding a short sword in her hand, and her young face was covered with a high-spirited fighting spirit. Xiao Zhen had only seen this kind of decisive look on the faces of soldiers who had experienced the battlefield before.
Her opponent looked a little bigger than her, but she was also an immature female larva. She was a full head taller than the princess. But strangely, in the center of the stage, the princess didn't feel weak at all, as if she was born to be the leader of others.
The prince sat in the front and center of the VIP seats in the venue. He could clearly watch his daughter's every move in the battle. But from the time she entered the venue until now, she has never looked at me, her father, the prince thought to himself.
The fight began.
The older opponent attacked first, and the two people's simulated force field daggers were like hounds testing each other, leaving white force field afterimages in the air. The test of the two did not last too long, and the opponent suddenly swung the dagger and slashed forward, but the princess lightly hooked her foot and tripped him to the ground.
The smell of praise wafted through the venue.
The princess also took a step back, staring at her opponent and preparing for defense.
Then the opponent got up, and this time the two of them officially entered into a fight, their entanglement rolled up a white force field wave, horizontal slash, block, vertical slash, block, backhand thrust, and another wonderful block. The princess seemed to have laid a dense net, and the opponent's attack was included in her airtight web.
"Conde," the prince said to the guards beside him, "Arji is clearly stronger than his opponent."
"Yes, Your Highness." Conte's tone was full of pride, "Your Highness has always been excellent."
Indeed, the prince stared at the shining girl on the stage. The battle was under her control, and she was leisurely... teasing her opponent.
Flirting, or humiliation, the prince thought, I won't do that in a fight. In previous battles, unless it was a test, Xiao Zhen always fought to effectively repel or knock down the target. This kind of humiliating fight was unnecessary in Xiao Zhen's eyes.
The battle continued. The opponent's face had turned pale. She had found that no matter how hard she attacked, she could not touch the princess' body at all. She had lost most of her fighting spirit and was just waving her weapon in vain. The princess, on the other hand, was still trying to delay time.
There's really no need. Xiao Zhen thought, if it were me, I would just knock the opponent down quickly and that would be the end. But this princess, she was actually stalling for time and showing off her skills.
The prince looked around, and the guests around him all praised the princess's fighting performance. The purpose of this graduation ceremony was to show everyone the ability of one of the royal heirs. Was the princess deliberately delaying it in order to impress everyone with her martial arts skills?
Alji, the prince's beloved daughter. If it were the prince himself, would he be happy to see this scene?
In the midst of his chaotic thoughts, Xiao Zhen suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly.
"Your Highness?" Conde asked curiously.
There was nothing in the air. He stared ahead.
His spirits were tense.
There seemed to be a slight rise and fall in the air.
Without any hesitation, the prince picked up the teacup on the table and threw it forward.
Bang!
A puff of white smoke rose up, and an invisible object appeared with a hiss. It was a small bionic bee, with a thin and long poisonous stinger under its abdomen ready to fire.
A second later, it quickly caught fire and turned into ashes in an instant.
The VIPs screamed.
The princess jumped down from the stage, and the prince heard the girl's fierce cry: "Father! Father!"
This daughter is indeed still worried about her father.
Then, there was a rustling sound nearby, and someone stood up. He then realized that Prince Linaru, whom he had been shielding, was sitting next to him. Prince Linaru stared at the ashes on the ground, and his hostile face was only filled with fear. He said softly, "Alsiel, did you save me..."
No, I think this hidden weapon is aimed at me.
At this time, someone shouted, "It was Prince Alsiel who shot the hidden weapon in time!" "Yes, it was Prince Alsiel!" "I saw it too!" More voices rang out, "Prince!!" "Prince Alsiel!!" "It was Prince Alsiel who saved the situation in time!" "Long live the prince!!"
