Chapter 375 - 274: Crazy Plan

Long Yi fell silent for a moment, carefully considering, and then looked up at the Emperor, seemingly hesitant to speak.

"Speak your mind. I’ve never seen you hesitant like this before." The Emperor evidently conjectured that Long Yi had a thought on his mind.

Long Yi nodded slightly, saying in a low voice: "I have an idea, but it’s extremely immature and fraught with massive threat. If we have bad luck, it may bring down the whole empire. So, I don’t intend to tell you now. However, considering you are more cunning and smarter than me, I believe that you could make an accurate judgment about the severity of this threat. So, I plan to tell you. Therefore, I am now in a dilemma whether to tell you or not."

Kirei looked at Long Yi, understanding his personality. This nineteen-year-old young man possesses abilities and fervor that did not match his age. The series of crises that the empire has continuously faced were mostly resolved due to Long Yi’s active role. The Crystal Core research of the White Dragon Empire, came from Long Yi’s help; the same for the empire’s battle armor; likewise, the Molten Beast research, too, cames from Long Yi’s assistance.

Long Yi did all these without expecting any reward. He never once asked for a medal from the Emperor!

As the late emperor once told Kirei, if Long Yi were to become the emperor of this country, perhaps, soon, the world would be united under the White Dragon Empire. He also said that if Long Yi wanted to destroy this country, it would take only a few moments.

However, Kirei chooses to trust him. Because, he could sense that Long Yi has absolutely no interest in ruling this country. The only thing that ties Long Yi is Elsa, who is far away in the higher Plane.

The stage of the human world is still too small.

But now, he can see Long Yi’s troubles.

"No, I think you should not tell me," said Kirei. "Because once you tell me, I may likely make an irrational decision considering the huge gains after success. Maybe I am very cunning, but I lack enough rationality. Long Yi, I hope you can make the judgment for me. Can this matter proceed?"

Long Yi looked at Kirei, and saw absolute trust in his eyes.

"I need to think again. I’ve always considered myself bold enough, but I don’t dare make a hasty conclusion on this matter. Perhaps, I should seek the help of some experts," said Long Yi very seriously.

"Alright, if you have decided on any plan, please tell me, within the range of my authority as the emperor, whatever you want, I can absolutely satisfy you," said Kirei.

"Truly?"

"Truly."

"What if I want your throne?"

"I give you that too."

"Damn, that is so straightforward! You and your father are truly father and son." Long Yi shook his head and left.

Looking at Long Yi’s departing figure, a smile appeared at the corner of Kirei’s mouth: "If giving you the emperor’s throne could lead to the enemy’s demise, then who else should this position belong to if not you? I just fear that you might not be interested."

Ai Lin and Long Yi left the imperial palace, heading straight to the research institute.

Recently, Ai Lin had felt a vague unease coming from Long Yi. Until now, Long Yi was always energetic wherever he went. But lately, his moments of distracted idleness had significantly increased. Ai Lin knew Long Yi was worried about the issue of the Plane of the Crazy Demons, but she was unable to help.

"We’re going to the city of Darkness," said Long Yi abruptly while they were on the way.

"What?" Ai Lin was stunned.

"I said, we’re heading to the city of Darkness. The city of Darkness has a long history of using Crystal Cores. Perhaps they could help with the current situation," Long Yi said.

"Moreover, maybe we could bring along the Crystal Core and Molten Beast core we made for them to see. Perhaps there are still areas to improve," said Ai Lin.

"Makes sense!"

After storming into the research institute and stating his purpose, Long Yi immediately gained the approval of several researchers. After all, he was the only one who had really interacted with Dark City. The Dark City’s use of Crystal Cores has reached a peak. If the city’s help could be secured, the quality of the Crystal Core products would undoubtedly be improved.

In essence, the Dark Race was a core tribe created by the Giants. Long Yi, having activated the sacred woman of Darkness, had actually become the master of the Dark sacred woman. However, he never exercised this power. To do unto others as one would have them do unto oneself, no one would love the reality of having a master.

But Long Yi truly needed their help, so he could only scratch his head, activate the contract, and call for the help of the Dark sacred woman.

Then, that night, the Worm Vehicle appeared in the secret chamber of the research institute following the same path as before.

This was a specially covered secret chamber, designed to prevent anyone from discovering the connection between the White Dragon Empire and the City of Darkness.

The two guardians of the Dark City led Long Yi and Ai Lin onto the vehicle, and the Worm Vehicle immediately sealed the tunnel completely to prevent prying eyes.

After a series of long journeys, Long Yi and the others finally arrived once again in the City of Darkness.

The Dark sacred woman was already waiting at the final station. The complicated machinery on her chest shimmered with gorgeous light, mesmerizing nearby Dark City residents.

"Master, you have arrived." The Dark sacred woman exclaimed.
