Chapter 559: Chapter 381: Ingenious Plan to Pacify the Unconscious Lord_2

But everyone was desperately searching and at the same time, fearful. Cases of this magnitude weren’t meant to be resolved quickly. What should they report to His Majesty the next day? If they can’t explain what happened, His Majesty might get even angrier.

But, the next day, His Majesty behaved uncharacteristically and did not even mention the matter! It was as if nothing happened, very strange...

As long as His Majesty didn’t bring it up, everyone would prefer it to be forgotten. The morning court session ended peacefully. Everyone noticed His Majesty seemed to be in a very good mood.

For instance, the chronically ill Master Dunn made several suggestions during the court session. If it were any other day, His Majesty would frown. But on this day, he accepted them with an open mind. Even propositions that were clearly beneficial to the Imperial Court but made His Majesty uncomfortable were approved!

"What is going on?" Everyone was puzzled. Only Abner Lane knew what was happening but he could only sigh: His Majesty really is cold-hearted.

...

Hassan and the Central Prison were still investigating the assassination case of Lord Porter, while the Imperial City Department was secretly active. The capital was still filled with tension.

But no one suspected Owen Bertram.

Although the four assassins from the Dawn Realm had escaped, the entire assassination process could be restored through certain traces. Everyone guessed that the assassin had used some Divine Powers to easily kill Lord Porter, and then had escaped.

The assassin from the Fifth Great Realm couldn’t withstand the opponent’s sword!

From these indications, the assassin was at least from the Sixth Great Realm. Owen Bertram’s cultivation level did not meet the requirements of the assassin.

Owen Bertram was composed and didn’t reveal any flaws. He had been diligent these two days. He summoned Ferdinand and Leroy Baker to discuss how much money the Moses Sect should pay, and how luxurious the Flying Carriage Palaces built by the Lioyd Sect could be.

After a preliminary plan was presented, Owen Bertram followed Master Lane to enter the palace.

The two of them rode in Master Lane’s carriage. An array was set up to isolate the inside of the carriage, allowing the two to talk freely.

"Your move was smart, it saved you," said Abner Lane. "His Majesty originally wanted to severely punish you. I guess it’s because of the Zombie Cave incident, as well as you rejecting Lord Porter’s young eunuch."

Owen Bertram scoffed, "It’s not surprising, is it?"

Abner Lane had nothing to say. After a long silence, he said, "After all, he is the Emperor."

Owen Bertram remained silent, and Abner Lane reminded him nervously, "When we meet His Majesty later, try to hold your tongue, don’t offend him."

Owen Bertram laughed confidently, "Don’t worry, Master, I’m not stupid."

Even though he supported the Emperor’s travelling arrangement, Owen Bertram had his secret plans. He would not let the Emperor have a pleasant travel, bringing chaos to the local people. Let the Emperor fiddle with the corrupt local officials instead.

After a series of strict checks, Owen Bertram, led by Master Lane, entered the palace of the Wood Dynasty for the first time.

In his last life, Owen Bertram had visited the Imperial Palace as a tourist. Compared to that, the Wood Dynasty’s palace, with its cultivation methods, was undoubtedly more grand and imposing. In terms of living comfort, it was incomparable to the palaces of his previous life.

"Don’t look around." Master Lane reminded him. Owen Bertram retracted his gaze. The eunuch, who had led them in, seemed slightly annoyed by Owen Bertram’s curiosity but didn’t say anything more.

"His Majesty is in the Imperial Study."

Ordinary ministers would often have to wait for a long time to see the Emperor unless they were of the rank of the Grand Scholar of the Inner Cabinet. When Owen and Master Lane arrived at the Imperial Study, the eunuch went in to report and they were immediately summoned in. The Emperor put down his other government affairs, impatient to hear Owen Bertram’s "excellent plan."

Master Lane led Owen Bertram into the hall to bow. The Wood Dynasty did not force its ministers to genuflect easily. They just bowed with a cupped fist. The Emperor was very amiable at this moment, "No need to be formal. Master Lane, is this the ingenious Owen Bertram you mentioned who has a clever plan for us?"

"Indeed."

Owen Bertram saw the Emperor looking at him eagerly and felt more disdain in his heart. But he still respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I am fortunate that I have negotiated everything with both sides. All matters are in this memorial. Please look it over."

The Emperor took the memorial and glanced at it: The Lioyd Sect would be responsible for refining one giant, one large, and four medium Flying Carriage Palaces; The "Giant" was for His Majesty, the "Large" was for the Empress, and the "Four Medium" were for the Imperial Concubines, with the Empress’s specifications significantly higher than the other concubines.

The memorial detailed the amount of gold, silver, jewels, etc. for each Flying Carriage Palace, ensuring that they were magnificent and splendid.

However, it didn’t mention anything about the flight or defensive parameters.

Despite the Empress refusing to accompany the Emperor on his trip, due to the relationship between the Empress and Nick Liam, Owen Bertram had included her in his plans. And the Emperor, who loved to wrap himself in the cloak of filial piety, would naturally not abandon the Empress alone in the capital while he travelled for fun.

In addition to these six most expensive Flying Carriage Palaces, there were various other large Flying Carriages and Flying Boats for the entourage, totaling 64 pieces.

The Moses Sect would pay the Lioyd Sect 540 million Spirit Jade for all this! Correspondingly, all the Flying Carriages and Flying Boats would have the logo of the Moses Sect in a conspicuous location. Besides, the Moses Sect would also choose four kinds of palace necessities to offer as tribute every year.
