Chapter 4021 The Song of the Purple Moon (72) - The Administrator of the Royal District

The crystal flower basket was naturally delivered by Angie when she entrusted me to come to [Purple Moon]... She said that no matter where it is, it has the function of automatically returning to its original owner.

When Testarossa retrieved the flower basket, it mysteriously vanished from all her perception.

This is placed in her inner world, isn't it?

It wasn't so much unbelievable as it felt terrifying. If such a hidden place as the inner world could disappear so easily, could there also be tools or methods that could easily attack the inner world?

"Lady Testarossa, you don't look too well?" [Rimbaud]'s ability to read people's expressions was clearly more than just a few decades old. "Was...something I did wrong?"

Testarossa then realized her lapse in composure.

Then he saw that Manager Luo was also looking at him curiously.

Testarossa said calmly, "No, you did very well. I was just thinking about something else... By the way, Your Highness, although I have achieved my goal, there is still one thing..."

As if he had already seen through Testarossa's thoughts, Boss Luo smiled slightly and said, "Miss Testarossa, are you worried about your subordinates?"

Testarossa nodded directly. The female knight was out of the question; she was in the hands of Lady Black Cat… That was easy to deal with, but Lady Black Cat was nowhere to be found in the Sea of ​​Flowers.

Claude and Gazef are still in the labyrinth... Clearly, the one who truly controls the labyrinth is Shopkeeper Lo; the others have only temporarily gained the right to use it.

She knew very well what would happen once something fell into the Holy Land: you could only buy it from the Holy Land, and trying to steal it... the grass on the graves of countless powerful figures from the Old Gods Era was taller than the flowers here.

“I can pay the ransom,” Testarossa said directly and decisively.

They didn't care why Claude and Gazef were trapped in the labyrinth, nor did they investigate whether it was the shopkeeper's doing—in short, the two of them were already in someone else's hands and had to pay.

This is what a "holy land" is like; you should just accept your fate and accept being slaughtered. There is no room for bargaining.

"Ransom?" Boss Luo blinked, then said with a half-smile, "We'll talk about it later. After all, little [Mimi] is still outside... Miss Testarossa, are you in a hurry to leave here?"

“No, not at all.” Testarossa shook her head. “I have some matters that I need to resolve privately with that lady who calls herself ‘Black Cat’…”

A thought struck her, and she suddenly looked at Rimbaud, then said after a moment's thought, "Rimbaud, if I want to know who else has entered the flower field right now, can you find out?"

It's unreasonable to have permission but not use it; it's just that I don't know if I have enough permission.

"You can search for the boundaries of the noble district and the common district." [Rambo] was also being official at this moment. The imperial hierarchy was strict. No matter how weak the royal family was, they were still royal family. No matter how powerful the noble was, they were still nobles. There was almost no way to cross the line between the two.

“Then I’ll trouble you,” Testarossa said. “This person calls himself Lady Black Cat.”

She actually wanted to search for Miss Long's location... to see which area she had entered, but she suppressed the urge.

Rimbaud was very efficient, providing an answer in just a few seconds.

"Lady Testarossa, target detected. Currently located in the common area of ​​the courtyard," [Rambo] said slowly. "The specific location is the residence of Yuga, the administrator of the common area. Would you like to open a passage to the common area for you?"

"The managers of the ordinary area?" Testarossa paused for a moment, then pondered, "Are there hierarchical relationships between the managers of the different areas of the courtyard?"

"I am on equal footing with Yuga," [Rambo] said seriously. "However, Yuga is more free... well, I mean more in terms of personality. Unlike me, Yuga was actually sent to the courtyard to become the manager of the ordinary district because he violated the laws of the Empire."

"A criminal?" Testarossa asked in surprise. "What crime has this Yuga committed?"

“I don’t know about that.” [Rambo] shook his head. “I don’t have permission to access Yuga’s personal information. I only know that he’s here to serve his sentence.”

"Is there a way to check?" Boss Luo asked abruptly.

[Rambo] quickly lowered his head and said, "As long as Your Highness agrees, I can check it immediately."

Testarossa: ...

This princess, who actually wielded immense power in the old gods' era, couldn't help but feel a sense of disillusionment.

Boss Luo nodded with a smile.

His thinking was actually similar to Testarossa's—why not use the authority you have, or force yourself to suffer when there's no trouble?

"Your profile of Yuga, the administrator of the ordinary district, has been retrieved..." [Rambo] instantly switched into action. "Yuga, a member of the [Force Clan], aged 73,621, former deputy head of the Imperial Purification Division's Independent Investigation Team, Imperial Viscount, one of the heroes of the [Apocalypse] War, recipient of the Imperial Golden Rose Medal..."

Testarossa's gaze flickered slightly; the resume of the prison administrator in this ordinary district was truly impressive.

"...The charge is that he colluded with the Void Asura, stripping him of all his status and honor, and ordering him to become a gardener in the ordinary section of the Royal Courtyard." [Rambo]'s voice suddenly softened, "The sentence is forever."

An affair with... Void Asura?

Testarossa couldn't help but slightly open her mouth... Void Asura, actually able to have illicit affairs?

That group, whose purpose is to devour all immortal life, and who are sworn enemies of immortal life in the void, actually cooperated with immortal life? And didn't devour this Yuga immediately?

She had never seen or heard of a Void Asura traveling with an Immortal... There are only three possible outcomes when encountering a Void Asura.

To be devoured by the Void Asura, escape from the Void Asura's grasp... or kill the Void Asura!

Suddenly, Testarossa felt a chill run down her spine—a traitor had appeared among the Void Immortals?

How long has the Void Asura been infiltrating?!

Boss Luo seemed to be thinking about something as well, "Do you have a detailed account of the crime?"

“It’s not shown in the records.” [Rambo] said respectfully, “Your Highness, perhaps you could summon the Chief Justice of the Imperial Court to inquire.”

It's likely they won't be able to be summoned.

Boss Luo shook his head, "No need."

He immediately changed his mind, "Right, Rimbaud, since both the noble district and the common district have administrators... then where is the administrator of the royal district?"

"Huh?" [Rambo] seemed to only then realize something, muttering to himself, "Right? Even Lord Schneizel has shown up to pay his respects, there's no reason why Lady Jinx wouldn't show up?"

Jinx?

Testarossa frowned. Sure enough, there was a manager in the Royal Quarter!

"Lady Jinx! Lady Jinx!" [Rambo] cried out immediately, "Where are you! Your Highness is here! Lady Jinx!"

But there was no response for quite a while.

[Rambo] had no choice but to rely on the meager, superficial camaraderie among the royal courtyard administrators and reluctantly said, "Your Highness, Lady Jinx seems to be out... I think she may have gone out to purchase supplies. I will inform her as soon as she returns!"

What supplies do we need to procure for this area?

Testarossa said calmly, "To be able to become the manager of the Royal District, this Jinx must have a high status."

[Rambo] immediately sold it out, "Yes, Jinx is a duchess and also Earl Decrea's fiancée. Furthermore, Lady Jinx is one of His Highness Prince Cicero's students, a noble status... of course, she is far inferior to His Highness!"

—Wow, this little cutie has a pretty strong survival instinct?

—You're trying to smooth things over just because this Jinx is someone important, right?

Testarossa couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly—"Your Highness Prince Cicero," she heard another new name, but for some reason, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with it.

"You mean, Earl Declare?" Boss Luo suddenly spoke up.

Testarossa's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she vaguely sensed a hint of...coldness, or perhaps murderous intent, in the voice of Manager Luo.

If the Lord of the Holy Land wants to kill someone...

“Yes.” [Rimbaud] knew nothing and continued selling, “Count Decrea is also a student of the Prince, Your Highness, don’t you know that?”

"I do know that," Boss Luo said casually, as if he had completely calmed down.

However, Cicero's student...Decrea's fiancé?

As for Count Declare, in fact, Boss Luo had already forgotten about him if he wasn't mentioned.

"...Your Highness, is there anything you need me to do?" [Rambo] forced a smile and said again, "Although Lady Jinx is temporarily unavailable, it's the same if you give me instructions!"

—Lady Jinx, Rimbaud, I've done my best!

“I don’t need anything,” Luo Qiu said casually. “Just take good care of Miss Testarossa.”

"Oh, oh..." [Rambo] quickly said, "Lady Testarossa, would you like to open the passage to the ordinary area?"

Testarossa hesitated for a moment. Judging from what Manager Luo said, it seemed that she did not intend to continue traveling with her. However, since she already knew the location of the [Black Cat] and could go there at any time, she was not in a hurry.

The main problem is that once the thought of leaving temporarily arises, the feeling of emptiness intensifies—it seems that staying by Manager Luo's side would be something very important to me.

"What are your plans next, Manager Luo?" Testarossa asked softly. "I had a very pleasant conversation with you, and I'm reluctant to leave so soon."

If you have doubts, then follow your heart.

Then the maid glanced at her expressionlessly before quickly looking away.

Luo Qiu casually said, "Since it's a courtyard, it's naturally a place to enjoy flowers and relax. I don't have any particular purpose, I'm just taking a stroll... Speaking of which, Lanbo, the manager of that royal district should have a residence, right? Take me to see it."

"Okay, okay!" [Rambo] can only sell it to the end.

Hopefully, there aren't any contraband items in Lady Jinx's room...

……

……

……

……

Planet, [Oron]...an ancient castle by the sea.

A silver-white machine with twelve cannon wings slowly landed in front of a tower in a corner of the castle, and reached out to knock on the top of the tower.

It was quite forceful; at least the people inside were startled.

The window opened instantly, and an angry Kim Bell poked her head out. "Who is it! Didn't you see I closed it... Jinx, it's you, hahaha... What a coincidence to come looking for me?"

Sizzle—!

The hatch on the belly of the aircraft slowly opened, and a woman wearing a long white lab coat, thick-rimmed glasses, a thin cigarette dangling from her mouth, and her hands in her pockets slowly stepped out.

The machine instantly reached out and delivered the woman to Kim Bell.

"Is it a coincidence?" Jinx said calmly, "It was Cao Cao who said you were back and asked me to come back to check your corrosion level. Do you think I would willingly put aside my experiments and come back like this?"

—That meddlesome guy… damn it!

After silently complaining to himself, Kim Bell said calmly, "I don't think there's a problem. I barely used the [Stigmata] this time. If you're busy with experiments... how about we talk about it after you're done? After all, a check-up takes quite a while. I just got back and was thinking of taking a bath first... how about we do it together?"

"What's wrong with you?" Jinx narrowed her eyes. "You seem reluctant to see me? Did something happen that led you into the courtyard this time?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jinx frowned.

She twitched her nose slightly, her gaze instantly sharpening. "What's that smell... the scent of Cecilia flowers? Did you steal something from the courtyard?"

Kim Bell's neck stiffened instantly.

Oh no, I was so engrossed in smelling the flowers that I forgot to put them away!

"Speak!" Jinx's voice was stern.

Kim Bell was instantly jolted as if she'd been electrocuted; her arms straightened instantly, and she stood up straight. "I...I just took one, I thought it looked nice..."

Jinx immediately sneered: "Stealing in front of me, the manager?"

Kim Bell muttered under his breath, "Isn't the Empire already..."

Jinx said expressionlessly, "Bell, I think you've been living too comfortably lately."

"...Let's not talk about that now!" Kim Bell suddenly had an idea. He moved quickly, jumped out of the window, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I have some very important news to announce! Everyone, assemble in the meeting room immediately!"

Before Jinx could react, Kim Bell charged straight into the main building of the castle.

“Jin Bell!” Jinx’s voice was even deeper.

"This is really important!" Kim Bell took a deep breath. "I've found Boss Ye's whereabouts! Tell me, isn't this more important than my own situation?!"

"Ye?" Jinx frowned slightly upon hearing this, but she didn't seem inclined to press Kim Bell any further. "She just seemed to be deep in thought."

At this moment, Kim Bell entered the main building and, seeing that Jinx hadn't caught up yet, knew that he had probably gotten away with it this time.

The flower issue is manageable; at most, I'll get a beating. Jinx wouldn't really turn against me over a flower. The important thing is the [Stigmata].

It seems I still need to make a trip to that abandoned laboratory when I have some free time.

Originally, I wasn't planning to announce Boss Ye's news so soon... But, I'm sorry, Boss Ye, you'll have to make a sacrifice!

After all, Jinx's punches really hurt! His run-down carnival couldn't withstand any more torture...
