Chapter 774: Chapter 439: Bronze Ancient Coffin_4

In reality, he had just regained his composure, and his trembling legs quickly forced him to sit down.

Master Lane arrived quickly, kneeling down in mid-air outside the Flying Carriage Palace: "I’m late to save you, Your Majesty, please punish me!"

At this time, the Emperor was in a great mood, waving his hand and saying: "Master Lane, why do you say that? You have made a great contribution, hurry up and help me return."

"Your servant obeys the order."

Master Lane got up and led the way, secretly glaring at Owen Bertram. He felt something was wrong with the sword he had used. The Bronze Ancient Coffin was not an ordinary monster, and his single sword didn’t hurt its foundation even though it forced it back.

Even if it was a fundamental monster in the Magic Wave, his sword should have cut it in half. So what is the Bronze Ancient Coffin?

On instinct, Master Lane was convinced that it was Owen’s doing.

The Flying Carriage Palace exited Copper Gorge under the escort of one Seventh-Level and two Sixth-Level Great Realms, when Bennett Basil quietly told the Emperor: "Your Majesty, the Hawk-headed Winged Snake..."

The Emperor suddenly remembered and shouted: "Don’t rush to leave, I want to hunt the Hawk-headed Winged Snake and make a Drunken Snake Soup to treat the meritorious ministers..."

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it. He didn’t want to encounter such a thing again! He would never come to Copper Gorge again. It was fun, but one shouldn’t play with their lives.

Owen Bertram saw the murderous look in Master Lane’s eyes and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please go ahead, and I will hunt down a Hawk-headed Winged Snake."

"Alright, alright." The Emperor hastily agreed.

Originally, Master Lane wanted to directly escort the Emperor back to the Capital. Although he hoped that the Emperor would stay longer, he was uneasy about the large commotion. If the Emperor died outside, it would be hard for him to find peace in life.

However, returning to the Capital was not a simple matter, as it couldn’t be done without proper arrangements. So they had to temporarily stay in the Summit Metropolitan Office.

Owen Bertram hunted a Hawk-headed Winged Snake and sent it to the Emperor’s table, then quietly left. Unfortunately, he couldn’t avoid getting caught by Master Lane, who dragged him out of bed in the middle of the night.

"You almost became the eternal sinner of our kingdom!" Master Lane angrily rebuked.

Owen Bertram looked confused: "Master, don’t scare me. How could I possibly commit such a huge sin?"

"Be honest, did you intentionally lure His Majesty into Copper Gorge to provoke the Bronze Ancient Coffin?"

"I’m wronged..."

Master Lane interrupted him: "No use in arguing! I know your tactics all too well. This is clearly your usual trick! I only asked you to delay His Majesty’s return, but remember, the Emperor is the foundation of the kingdom. If anything were to happen to him, ten of your heads wouldn’t be enough!"

"Never mind, arrange for things. Tomorrow, I will personally escort His Majesty back to the Capital." Master Lane sighed deeply.

Owen Bertram kept quiet, his mind assessing the attitudes of Abner and Leonard towards the "Emperor" and "Imperial power" at the moment. Master Dunn’s position was uncertain, but Master Lane, for the sake of Leonard’s smoother implementation of the reforms, explicitly ordered him to stall the Emperor out.

However, after this trip to Copper Gorge, which put the Emperor’s life in danger, Master Lane immediately decided to leave with the Emperor. From this result, it can be analyzed that Master Lane has come to prioritize the "common people" and "state affairs" over the "Emperor’s individual" much more than before. Compared to his initial blindly loyal attitude, this was a great improvement.

Moreover, Master Owen judged that for Abner and Leonard, this current state was already at its limit, and it was impossible for them to despise the Emperor and Imperial power like himself.

If he ever reached that point in the future and wanted Abner and Leonard to support or at least tolerate him, he would have to create a dilemma to force them to choose between "state security" and the personal safety of the Emperor.

Having thought it through, Master Owen slowly said: "Why don’t you ask the Emperor himself? If he doesn’t want to go back, you can’t force him."

Master Lane snorted coldly, but said no more. He knew the Emperor’s character well; after this scare, there was no way he would stay at the Summit Command Office. His fondness for Pill Cuisine was also simple—bring Bennett Basil back to the Capital and let the Summit Command Office provide the ingredients.
