White City

"Unexpectedly, in just over half a month..."

The Dragonflight Interstellar Empire has taken care of this matter thoroughly.

"The main thing is that it was handled so beautifully."

Without waging war, it simultaneously demonstrated the formidable status of the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.

"Yes, it's remarkable that the other party offered such substantial compensation and signed this series of agreements and contracts."

They even willingly handed over the two culprits to the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire for their disposal.

Banquets are held daily in the luxurious hall.

Those interstellar merchants who did not leave, along with leaders from various interstellar civilizations, are all here talking, contacting, and developing cooperation in various aspects.

Among the topics of conversation, the most discussed was naturally the matter of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

"Now you can all rest assured, right?"

"The Dragon Empire handled this matter so well." Queen Maritis of the Azure Waters looked at the two sisters, Flower Sprite Lanlan and Flower Sprite Nini, sitting opposite her.

Hua Ya Lanlan nodded and said, "I was worried that a conflict would break out, but I was able to handle this matter so efficiently."

The Dragon Star Empire is indeed very good at positioning itself.

To clearly know what methods to use in what situations.

Instead of being a warmonger who only knows how to start wars.

"So, in your eyes, the Dragon Star Empire is just a warmonger who only knows how to start wars," Hua Ya Nini teased from the side.

Hua Ya Lanlan glared at her younger sister.

“However, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface,” said Maritis, the Water Fairy Queen, with a light smile.

Hua Ya Lanlan also showed a serious expression: "It seems that His Excellency the Elf King has also received some information."

The Azure Water Fairy Queen, Maritis, nodded and slowly said, "It's fine if others don't know about something that caused such a big commotion."

How could people at our level not know?

Mobilize 100,000 interstellar warships to ambush and attack the Dragon Emperor.

In all these universes, I truly cannot imagine anyone possessing such courage.

Hua Ya Nini muttered, "I was also shocked when I found out about this. Who has the guts to do this?"

They actually dared to provoke the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.

You should know that the Dragon Star Empire is a force that can fight against the Devouring Civilization.

Among our cosmic civilizations, we are undoubtedly the most powerful.

Hearing what her younger sister said, Hana Ya Lanlan gently nudged her sister with her elbow.

Hua Ya Nini was taken aback, but when she saw the Azure Water Fairy Queen Maritis on the other side, she immediately realized what was going on.

Before this, the first place belonged to the Holy Elf Empire.

This position has now been taken over by the Dragon Star Empire.

Bringing up this matter in front of others at this point would be like rubbing salt into their wounds.

Hua Ya Nini immediately stuck out her tongue, pretending that she wasn't thinking about it.

"I suspect that the Dragon Star Empire is also investigating this matter."

However, because this matter is quite special, if it were to be spread, it would have a very negative impact.

Therefore, on the surface, only the attack itself was announced, and the two princes and princesses were blamed for it.

This effectively brought the matter to a close in the open. The Azure Water Fairy Queen, Maritis, naturally didn't mind Flower Sprout Nini's careless words and continued discussing the matter.

"It seems that Your Majesty the Azure Water Elf King is very concerned about this matter?" Hua Ya Lanlan looked at the Azure Water Elf King.

As everyone knows, the high elves of the Holy Elf Empire, especially their elven kings, have always been proud and complacent.

He has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards external affairs.

It's quite rare to see someone so interested in the Dragon Star Empire right now.

The Azure Water Fairy Queen, Maritis, naturally understood the meaning in Huaya Lanlan's eyes. She smiled slightly and said, "We naturally won't concern ourselves with the affairs of other weaklings."

Now, the status of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire is on the same level as that of our Holy Elf Empire.

We naturally need to pay more attention to this.

Especially this incident, in the known universe, there is actually someone who dares to attack the Dragon Emperor.

How could this not pique our curiosity?

At the same time, would the existence of such an interstellar civilization pose a threat to us?

This is something we need to consider.

Listening to the explanation from the Azure Water Fairy Queen Marytis, Flower Sprout Lanlan didn't care whether what she said was true or false.

Just then, Hana Ya Lanlan's handheld terminal flashed with a high frequency of light.

"Is it His Majesty?" Hua Ya Nini noticed from the side and immediately said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the Azure Water Fairy Queen Maritis, though silent, cast a curious glance at her.

Hua Ya Lanlan opened this communication window.

Zhao Chen's image appeared on the other side.

"I'm back.

You need to come over here right now; I need to ask you for a favor.

Oh right, I heard that the Water Fairy Queen Maritis is with you guys too.

"Then you can come together." Zhao Chen's voice came.

The Azure Water Elf Queen, Maritis, covered her mouth and chuckled, "The Dragon Emperor really doesn't want to put in any extra effort."

They didn't even bother sending me a notification.

It seems there's still a significant difference between people.

Zhao Chen ignored the teasing in the words of the Azure Water Elf Queen Marytis and said with a faint smile, "You are probably all very curious about this matter."

If the Water Fairy Queen Maritis is too busy, then she doesn't have to come.

I'll be waiting for you on my flagship.

After saying that, Zhao Chen hung up the call.

Looking at the blacked-out video window.

Hua Ya Lanlan looked at the Azure Water Elf Queen, Maritis, across from her with a playful expression: "I wonder if the Azure Water Elf Queen would be willing to accompany me on this journey?"

The Azure Water Elf Queen, Maritis, shrugged helplessly and said, "How could someone as insignificant as me dare to refuse His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's invitation?"

Hua Ya Nini pouted and muttered, "I think you're just curious about what His Majesty the Dragon Emperor invited you to discuss."

Because the two of them have been together for quite some time.

From now on, the Azure Water Elf Queen Maritis will also be in charge of the Holy Elf Empire's intergalactic trade with other universes.

So I had more contact with the Hanaya and Lanlan sisters, and after we got to know each other better, there was less of a distance between us.

It was just like being with a familiar friend.

The Azure Water Fairy Queen, Maritis, smiled gently and offered no rebuttal.

——————

The three then arrived at the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship, which was docked in the White Orchid City Starport.

This is a small private room, similar to a room used for entertaining guests.

There were also many green plants, which made it look very elegant.

"His Majesty."

As Hua Ya Lanlan and the other two entered, they saw Emperor Xiaolong Zhao Chen sitting in a chair, drinking tea.

"We're all family here, please make yourselves at home," Zhao Chen said casually, waving his hand.

The room has a somewhat Chinese-style layout, with no table in the center, but rather several chairs surrounding it.

Everyone took their seats.

The robot served tea.

"How have things been going with the Cosmic Trade Alliance during my absence?"

"Has it been affected?" Zhao Chen asked with concern.

The Cosmic Trade Alliance plan is a vital link in the lifeblood of the Dragon Star Empire.

Whether the Dragon Star Empire can cultivate and support a large number of legion fleets in the future depends on whether this space trade alliance can proceed smoothly.

Hua Ya Lanlan reported: "In the first few days after that incident, everyone was still a little hesitant."

But after the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire made its statement, everyone was basically relieved.

Now, this matter is over.

And in such a good way.

This greatly enhanced the prestige of the Dragon Star Empire.

In recent days, the entire Universal Trade Alliance has begun to gradually return to a normal development track.

Currently, we have only reached 20% of the expected cosmic trade volume.

This is because it's just the beginning, and there are still many steps to be arranged.

However, with our proactive efforts, we expect to reach our target transaction volume within three months at most, and then gradually increase it thereafter.

Hearing the report, Zhao Chen nodded in relief.

"Tell me quickly what happened over at the Mahas Star Empire." The Azure Water Elf Queen, Maritis, abandoned her usual dignified demeanor and looked at Zhao Chen with a gossipy expression.

Hua Ya Lanlan and Hua Ya Nini also pricked up their ears. Their identities were different from those of the Azure Water Fairy Queen, Maritis, so they were too embarrassed to ask about it.

But they themselves are still very concerned about this matter.

When Zhao Chen saw that the Azure Water Elf Queen Marytis had taken the initiative to ask, he didn't hide anything and said directly, "The reason I called you here is actually for this matter."

As you've probably heard, although the three princesses and seven princes of the Mahas Star Empire are the ones officially introduced this time, there is actually a real mastermind behind them.

However, to this day, we still do not know what force is behind this.

The Third Princess and the Seventh Prince were unaware that the other party was extremely cautious and mysterious in their actions.

However, we also obtained some clues.

Whether it's the Holy Elf Empire or the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group, you have more channels for obtaining intelligence resources.

So I want you to see if this gives you any impression or provides any useful clues.”

As he spoke, Zhao Chen raised his hand, and a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone; it was a very strange pattern.

The Azure Water Fairy Queen Marytis and the Flower Sprout Lanlan sisters were both staring at this thing, curiously examining its strange patterns.

Zhao Chen explained from the side, "This is a clue provided by the Third Princess, Mai Nana."

This should be something like a fleet emblem or imperial totem from the interstellar power behind the scenes.

However, according to the clues in our Dragon Star Empire's data network, we have not been able to find this thing.

"See if your channels can uncover this information."

The three women were still carefully examining the object.

"Could you allow me to verify this using the database of our Bailan Interstellar Trade Group?" Hua Ya Lanlan asked Zhao Chen.

“Yes, but try not to let others know,” Zhao Chen said.

Hua Ya Lanlan nodded, and then she began to operate it herself.

First, they scanned and recorded the pattern, then compared it with the database of their Bailan Interstellar Trade Group.

Although the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group is an interstellar trade organization, it is also a large intelligence organization.

Whenever an interstellar transport ship or an interstellar caravan sails to a star region or a star system, it will collect some local intelligence information, which will eventually converge here.

These intelligence reports are even more valuable; they can not only provide the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group with various business intelligence, but may even change a major upheaval if necessary!

The Azure Water Fairy Queen, Maritis, carefully examined the pattern, her eyes narrowed as if she were recalling something.

Zhao Chen didn't urge him, but waited quietly there, occasionally taking a sip of tea.

Before long, Hua Ya Lanlan stopped what she was doing. She looked at Emperor Xiaolong and said with shame, "Your Majesty, I am very sorry."

I've checked many intelligence databases, but I haven't found any information related to this.

"It's nothing," Zhao Chen waved his hand.

“This thing... I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.” The words that the Azure Water Elf Queen Maritis blurted out at this moment startled Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen looked at the Azure Water Elf Queen, Maritis, in surprise: "You've met her before?"

Yes, but I can't remember where it is.

As you know, we elves have long lifespans, have been to many places, and have seen many things.

Sometimes it's inevitable that you won't remember some things.

"But I've definitely seen this thing before," said Maritis, the Azure Water Fairy Queen, with absolute certainty.

"Then think about it again carefully," Zhao Chen said seriously.

"Do you have any other useful intelligence?" asked Maritis, the Queen of the Azure Waters.

Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said, "The mastermind behind this attack should be a T6 level interstellar civilization, or even a near-T7 level interstellar civilization."

Because during their attack on me, there were a large number of T6-class starships, and even a near-T7-class starship.

In addition, they have a type of creature specifically designed for espionage.

Whether this species was naturally generated or cultivated later is unknown.

However, its function is very special. It can simulate and replicate a person's appearance, but it can only replicate once in a lifetime, and once it is used, the replicant's lifespan begins to count down.

After being copied, the appearance, fingerprints, and pupils are completely identical.

Our equipment can't distinguish between replicas and genuine articles.
