Chapter 413: Unspeakable Secrets

“Before I showed it to him, he had already predicted everything. There was no point in hiding it, so I simply made a copy for him.”

Upon hearing Ulysses’ words, Strachey nodded and said, “Yes, Your Highness.”

Ulysses had held the meeting records of the heart of vastness in his hands for an entire week before showing it to him. Moreover, he had already made a copy for Lei Luo before that.

This might seem like a small matter, but Strachey, who had been sharp all his life, could smell something unusual from it. He told himself in his heart: ‘Strachey, from now on, you should understand that you are no longer Ulysses’ teacher but his loyal assistant. From now on, you must not overstep your boundaries.’

It’s been seven days since the fleet of Lei Luo left.

Because the Dragon God Ship uses the most advanced eight magic engines despite being very small, the Dragon God Ship not only has the ability to fold space, it can jump as far as 2,000 nautical miles at a time. That’s almost ten times the distance of the fastest civilian freighter and almost the level of a battleship. In this way, the Dragon God Ship will only take more than a month to arrive between the Holy City of Beauty and Ulysses. For the past seven days, Lei Luo has been hiding in the cabin alone. He doesn’t go out except for eating. No one knows what he is doing every day. All they can see is that his hair is as messy as a bird’s nest. It’s obvious that he is mentally exhausted.

However, seven days later, Lei Luo suddenly seemed to be in high spirits. He suddenly held a glass of wine and came to talk to Karman.

“Lord Karman, I heard that you were sent by the main hall to His Highness’ side, is that right?”

Lei Luo seemed to be asking a question he already knew the answer to. When he asked this question, he had already understood the relevant information. The formation of King Beichen’s team could not be considered a secret.

“You already know the answer, yet you still ask questions. Won’t you feel bored, Lord Lei Luo?”

This was the first time that Lei Luo had had a relatively formal conversation with Karman. He had already experienced Karman’s unkindness.

Fortunately, Lei Luo was almost immune to verbal stimulation, so it was not a big deal.

“If that’s the case, does His Highness, Ulysses, have the final authority over you?”

When Lei Luo said this, he made a circle in the air with his hand.

“I mean, the order His Highness gave you to follow me, is it true and effective for a long time?”

Karman’s brows raised slightly. He also glanced at Lei Luo and then leaned against the command chair.

Looking at the boundless and silent sea, “Ulysses... His Highness, doesn’t have the authority to order me.”

Seeing that Karman was reluctant to address Ulysses as His Highness, Lei Luo already knew the relationship between him and Ulysses.

“When do you plan to go back? Will you go back after you send me back to the Holy City of Beauty or go back?”

As If Lei Luo had poked a sore spot in his heart, Karman revealed a somewhat desolate and bitter smile.

He reached out to grab the whiskey bottle that had never left his side ever since he boarded the ship. He stuffed it into his mouth and gulped down a mouthful of strong whiskey.

Even though he was nearly two meters away, Lei Luo could still smell the strong whiskey. He could not understand how Karman had swallowed it.

“The lord seems to have some unspeakable secrets?”

Karman glanced at Lei Luo, revealing an unmistakable contempt. “You won’t understand the pain of a soldier.”

“What’s there to not understand?” Lei Luo smiled faintly and said, “It’s nothing more than being depressed and unable to achieve anything.”

Lei Luo casually stuffed this sentence into his mouth, causing Karman to awkwardly purse his lips and continue drinking.

“If I’m not wrong, the lord should be someone the palace doesn’t like. His Highness doesn’t trust him and thinks that heroes are useless, right?”

“Lord Lei Luo’s observational ability is really amazing.”

It was clearly a compliment, but when Karman said it in a strange tone, it sounded particularly harsh.

Reylo didn’t mind and continued, “Lord Karman’s father is a chef, and his mother is a maid. You were born poorly. Normally, you wouldn’t stand a chance, but you were born with great talent. Even so, you’re still looked down upon by people of noble blood. So, no matter how hard you try, you still can’t really integrate into the warlord group, nor can you get the approval of King Beichen. Even after going through all sorts of hardships and finally obtaining the title of lord with great difficulty, and even obtaining the title of Imperial Knight, you don’t even have your own city. You’re just an empty lord. Am I right, Lord Karman?”

“It’s been hard on you. It’s really not easy to find such detailed information.”

Karman placed the wine bottle on the command platform and looked at Lei Luo.

In reality, Lei Luo knew more than that. He also knew that Karman did not obtain his identity as a suzerain by relying on his own abilities.

It was because his sister had been favored by King Beichen for a period of time. That was why she had helped him obtain the identity of a suzerain from the senate.

Even though he had obtained the identity, he still needed money to become a true suzerain and have his own city, army, and population.

As for Karman’s sister, she had only been favored for a short period of time, so Karman did not have the time to get this.

This meant that Karman had obtained the identity of a lord through his nepotism, and King Beichen had never given him a chance to show off.

It was no wonder that Karman was so depressed.

Of course, Lei Luo was not stupid enough to say such things.

“Since both sides aren’t getting along well, why don’t you just join someone else?”

Lei Luo looked at the formal mirror and stretched out his hand to tidy up his hair.

“I would like to, but my military status is under King Beichen’s command. Who would dare to want me?”

Karman’s body was half-paralyzed on the chair. He gulped down another mouthful of wine.

“So, you’re still going back? To be honest, I think you’re quite pitiful. You have such great talent, but you wasted it like this. I really feel sorry for you.”

Lei Luo revealed an insincere expression of sympathy.

“There’s nothing to feel sorry for. I’ve already thought it through. After sending you to the Holy City of Beauty, I plan to resign from King Beichen and give up my identity as a lord. I’ll leave the military profession.”

Karman smiled nonchalantly.

“Not a soldier? Then what else can you do?”

“I can go into business. I’m not suitable to be a commander. Maybe I’m suitable to be a big businessman.”

Perhaps triggered by Lei Luo’s disapproving expression, Karman’s words were beginning to sound like an argument.

Lei Luo craned his neck and made an “Oh.”
