Chapter 349: The Steady and Shy Zerg Queen (82)
Chapter 349: The Steady and Shy Zerg Queen (82)
"You are very brave to betray the Empire."
It was a word without any emotion, and Ino chuckled suddenly. Even though he was threatened by the omnipresent mental force, his posture was still decent and elegant.
"No one can say anything without evidence. Besides..." the blue-haired female whispered, "As a major general of the empire, you may not be that loyal."
The mere fact of trespassing without permission was enough to get Iloan suspended.
Take your time and observe the possible reaction of the female insect next. Will it be indifference, contempt, or killing the insect to silence it?
Unexpectedly, the female insect, whose posture was straight and upright and whose whole body showed the words "clever and decisive", showed no emotion at all. She just glanced at Ino indifferently.
"so what."
At this moment, Ino suddenly felt that he had turned into a piece of stone, dust in the air, or some object that can be found everywhere in life, insignificant.
This look made him more irritated than a look of indifference. The usual smile on his face disappeared, and his tone changed from a sly but cunning one to a sarcastic one.
"Do you dare to say that you came here today for His Majesty the Insect Emperor?"
"I just don't know which senior official you are loyal to."
As long as he reports to the Insect King, Iluan will definitely be in trouble!
"..."
Iloan was puzzled. He couldn't understand why Ino got angry while talking. He thought it was quite annoying. But when he thought about Ino's background as a space pirate, it was understandable.
He once again used the universal sentence pattern.
"so what."
So what?
He belongs to the lord from head to toe, and naturally he is loyal to the lord.
Insect King? Not familiar, not understanding.
His only purpose as a major general was to exterminate alien beasts and protect the Zerg. Apart from that, there was nothing else to do. He didn't want to care about what happened to the Zerg King.
Admiral Isar once said.
'You can be a marshal, but you can't be a consul.'
Iloan himself admitted this.
He was fearless and invincible on the battlefield, but he was not used to the intrigues among the top leaders of the empire.
When he was taken by Admiral Isar to attend the top-level meeting in the Imperial Palace, he almost couldn't control the sharp blade that was ready to move when he saw the senior officials chattering around the round table and fighting over a little benefit.
But Yasser has adapted well.
"..."
When Iloan, who was openly distracted, came back to his senses, he saw Ino's dark face. He felt that Ino had something else to say, but as he was worried about his lord, he didn't have time to waste on this.
"Admiral Isar is right. I am not suited to beating around the bush."
Ino, who didn't understand what this meant, frowned. The mental power dormant in the air suddenly became sharp. The carotid artery was held by an invisible hand, and his cerebral cortex felt numb and tingling.
The instigator continued the previous sentence, "Compared to torture and interrogation, I am more accustomed to speaking directly."
"Now, please don't hold anything back."
The veins on the back of Ino's hands were throbbing, and his brain, which felt painful whenever he breathed a little heavier, told him that the major general in front of him would not care about his identity as a servant of the Insect King.
If you don't tell the truth, you will die.
Damn, cheating S-rank!
Under the dual pressure of mind and body, Ino breathed hard and said intermittently, "Let me guess... who are you so anxious about...?"
"I guess... it's just that Excellency, right?"
The mental force that tightened and loosened his neck for a moment told him the answer. Ino curled his lips and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to actually fall in love with a male insect, uh—"
"You talk too much nonsense."
Yiluoan rarely lost his composure. Once he cared about someone, his heart would become soft. Thinking of Bai Yichen who was in the imperial palace and didn't know what was going on, his precarious patience was about to run out.
Seeing this, Ino felt that he had turned the tables and his mood miraculously improved. However, it seemed that Iloan had lost his patience. If he continued to test him, he would probably get nothing good, so he still valued his life.
What a pity, he will probably have to go back to the days of displacement. In fact, he likes his current life very much. He can get any materials he needs just by asking, and all he has to pay is to hand in some failed products regularly.
"Your Highness went to the Imperial Palace to see the Insect Emperor, right?"
Without waiting for Iloan to answer, Ino chuckled, "Ha, if it's just a normal meeting, it's fine, but if it's to find out the secret of the Insect King——"
Iroan's eyebrows moved, and Ino, who noticed this, understood. When the appearance of the blond male insect flashed before his eyes, he couldn't help but say, "Then be careful."
In the gradually solidified atmosphere, Ino revealed a deeply hidden secret.
"Insect Emperor——"
……
At the same time, in the Imperial Palace.
Bai Yichen looked openly at the intelligent computer in front of him - a white ball of light.
Float with the volume when speaking.
"You mean, His Majesty the Insect King only allows me, the Insect, to enter?"
He glanced behind Kong Wu Yi Chong and saw that Dori had already left the room on his own initiative. Looking around, there was only himself and Noah in front of him.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Insect King is waiting for you inside. I will be guarding the door, so no danger will approach."
A serious tone.
"Oh?" Bai Yichen raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms over his chest, "What if I must find a bug to accompany me?"
He looked Noah up and down and sneered, "Who knows if you have passed on false orders? I can't trust you."
"It sounds like an intelligent computer, but in reality it's just a useful tool for passing messages."
He wanted to grab the ball of light, but found nothing. He paused and made a nonchalant "tsk" sound.
Noah's tone was as steady as ever, and the overflowing audio waves could be seen when he spoke, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the Insect King's order is to allow only you, the Insect, to enter."
"I will automatically identify the bugs that don't comply with the order and eliminate them."
What this means is that except for you, all other bugs will be kept out.
The golden eyes stared at Noah for a while, then passed by it without another glance, and left two words.
"boring."
Noah was still floating quietly in the air, as if nothing could make him feel any emotion.
With his hand on the door carved with intricate patterns, Bai Yichen's expression changed the moment he turned his head, his eyelashes drooped slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The test just now gave him some information which was better than nothing.
Noah has no entity, the ball of light is just a projection of Noah, and no one knows where the real one is.
Furthermore, Noah really only followed orders. The moment his hand touched the door, Bai Yichen clearly felt the layer of confinement disappear, and he was allowed to enter.
Even if another insect comes, Noah will not let it go without the permission of the Insect King.
He silently compared his mental strength with the strength of the restriction in his mind and finally came to a conclusion.
Not as good as him.
but……
The door behind him slowly closed after he entered, swallowing up a beam of light in the corridor, and the face of the blond male insect was hidden in the darkness.
no need.
