Chapter 274 Fortress Group

Randolph's last words made Li Meng realize a problem.

Li Meng took the fruit wine from the maid and asked, "Prince, is it impossible to cultivate Xuanli in this world?"

Randolph shook his head and said, "It's not impossible, but the progress is very slow. In the myriad worlds, you only need to kill monsters to level up to enhance your strength, but in the real world, you can only rely on meditation to enhance your strength, which is extremely inefficient. For a silver-level master, it is the pinnacle to become a gold-level master in his lifetime, and in the myriad worlds, if you are lucky enough, you can reach this level in a few years."

As a son of the rich and powerful, Randolph's only advantage is probably that he knows himself.

Being afraid of death is a very shameful thing, at least Li Meng doesn't think so.

With Randolph's status as a prince, there is no need to take risks for personal strength.

After all, the myriad civilizations in the dark star field have not only Xuanli, but also technology.

The master mecha is just a supplement to the combat power of civilization, and interstellar war still relies on technology.

At this point, Randolph put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up.

"Mr. Li Meng, let's go to the harbor. Once we arrive at Apocalypse, the Silver Fleet will return to its base. We have to take a shuttle to the territory of the Augustus family."

At this time, outside, the Silver Fleet gradually approached Apocalypse and entered orbit.

Not long after, a white shuttle flew away from the fleet and entered the atmosphere under the escort of several mechas.

The flames outside the window lasted only more than ten seconds and then disappeared.

When the flames outside dissipated, a metal world appeared in Li Meng's eyes.

Large and small spaceships flew over the city like ants, shuttling between buildings.

From time to time, a rain of fire appeared in the sky at a higher altitude. That was the flame generated by the friction between the spaceships entering the atmosphere and the atmosphere.

As one of the few trade centers in the Dark Star Region, today, Li Meng saw the prosperity of Apocalypse.

"Mr. Li Meng, look, that's the territory of the Augustus family."

Following Randolph's gaze, Li Meng looked at the city outside the window.

There is a fortress area in the city not far away.

There are more than ten diamond-shaped fortresses, covered with silver-white flags and anti-aircraft turrets.

There is also a circle of tall metal walls around, and huge turrets can be seen on the walls, like mountains.

"The Augustus family has twelve elders and a patriarch. The fortress is the residence of the elders. The largest fortress in the middle is the residence of the patriarch. It is guarded by twelve fortresses and also symbolizes the highest power of the Augustus family."

"The ancestral precept of the Augustus family is that the capable person is in power, not the heirs. Therefore, the elders have the right to inherit the family position. In order to avoid family strife caused by power struggles, the heirs of each elder compete for the position of the prince, and the candidates for the patriarch are selected from the princes. Once the patriarch abdicates or dies, the candidate for the patriarch will succeed to the position of the patriarch."

As a large interstellar family, internal power disputes are inevitable.

How to reduce internal consumption and allow a smooth transition of power has become the top priority of the interstellar family.

Since he has joined the Augustus camp, he naturally needs to understand the situation within the Augustus family.

Randolph told him this, of course, not just chatting.

At this time, outside, the shuttle slowly descended in altitude and shuttled over the metal wall.

The fortresses of the Augustus family are very large, like a city within a city.

There is a large urban area between the fortresses, and the bridges and roads are intertwined like a spider web.

The maglev cars running on the road are like ant colonies, densely packed.

On the apron on top of a fortress to the west, the shuttle slowly landed.

As the hatch opened, Li Meng and Xiaoqing left the shuttle under the leadership of Randolph.

Outside, a group of people had already been waiting on the main road outside the apron.

There were guards in silver uniforms and maids in off-shoulder dresses.

There was also a beautiful woman in a silver, floor-length, off-shoulder, tight-waisted, hip-wrapped long skirt.

She had silver hair that reached her hips and a silver crown full of jewels on her head.

She had a slender figure, with a protruding front and a curved back, and exuded a mature, elegant, and noble temperament.

When she saw Randolph coming out of the shuttle, there was no joy on her face, no expression on her face, and no emotion in her eyes.

As for Randolph, when he saw the figure in front of the crowd, he was stunned at first, and then his face showed joy.

He hurried forward, half-knelt on the ground, and said, "Mother, I'm back."

Mother?

Randolph's words made Li Meng's eyes flash with surprise.

Is this woman Randolph's mother?

Looking down at Randolph half-kneeling on the ground, she opened her mouth slightly, and a smart and pleasant voice came out of her mouth.

"Get up!"

Randolph quickly stood up and introduced the two people behind him to his mother.

"Mother, this is Lord Li Meng whom I mentioned to you, and this one, her name is Xiaoqing, she is Lord Li Meng's maid."

Then, Randolph introduced his mother to Li Meng.

"Lord Li Meng, this is my mother, Augustus Evely, the wife of Elder Augustus Li Ruiang, one of the twelve elders of the Augustus family."

Li Meng raised his head slightly and looked at Mrs. Evely.

Compared with humans, the individuals of the Apocalypse are larger.

The average height is about 1.9 meters, even Mrs. Evely, who is a woman, is half a head taller than him.

Looking at Mrs. Evely in front of him, Li Meng muttered in his heart.

This Apocalypse is really similar to the elves in the fantasy novels of humans on Earth.

They are all beautiful, handsome, and have a pair of pointed ears.

In terms of appearance alone, it is very suitable for human aesthetics.

Seeing Li Meng looking at her, Evely put her hands on her lower abdomen.

She bowed her head slightly and whispered, "Hello, Lord Li Meng, welcome to your arrival."

Li Meng nodded and said, "Excuse me!"

She didn't say much, and looked at Randolph.

"Randolph, treat the distinguished guest well and make arrangements to see me later."

Randolph nodded and said, "Okay, mother, I'll come to you in a while."

She looked at Li Meng again, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then turned around and left surrounded by a group of maids.

"Lord Li Meng, let's go..."

Following Randolph, the group walked into the fortress.

In the magnificent corridor, the three walked one after the other.

At a crossroads, Randolph stopped.

"Sir Li Meng, I have something else to do, so I'll leave you now. Arong will take you to your room. If you need anything, please let Arong inform me. If Sir Li Meng wants to go out, I will also arrange for someone to accompany him. In this fortress, except for the back garden, you can visit it at will."

Speaking of this, Randolph said to the maid who was following him: "Arong, Sir Li Meng is in your hands now, please treat him well."

Arong bowed her head slightly and replied: "Yes!"

There were six maids in total, all of whom followed Randolph to Qi Wuxing.
