Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 647 - 326: Congressional Notarization, Sudden Mutation

Ignoring Ma, Fang Yu offered a slight smile and proceeded to the ship's deck.

Before long, Fang Yu observed Chen Xiaolin and Qian Luan already positioned on deck, awaiting his arrival.

"Hua Yu, you've made it?"

Fang Yu directed a glance of slight surprise towards Qian Luan. He had, by unspoken agreement, referred to Qian Luan as Hua Yu when in the presence of others.

His presence on Fang Yu's ship at this particular moment certainly caught Fang Yu by surprise.

"Officer Chen Xiaolin summoned me, ensuring you wouldn't waste further time searching for me,"

Qian Luan replied with a faint smile.

During this period, Fang Yu had escorted Qian Luan back to Blue Sky City and made arrangements for his accommodation in a local hotel.

Concurrently, the faction aligned with Qian Luan relocated alongside the Ocean Court's forces, establishing their presence within the Duorong Federation.

An elder general of the Duorong Federation had thoughtfully designated a tract of land for both factions to rest and regroup.

Although Qian Luan had been in the Lanyun Sea Country with Fang Yu, he regularly received updates from his faction. He was particularly pleased to learn that many of the younger members had commenced their formal education, diligently studying Alchemy and other comprehensive subjects.

A sense of peace and stability settled within Qian Luan's heart. It struck him then that this was the exact trajectory he envisioned for his faction's future.

Consequently, Qian Luan had engaged in frequent discussions with Fang Yu. They had long since buried the hatchet, their past grievances dissolved in laughter, with no intention of dwelling on Qian Luan's prior defection from the Duorong Federation.

Acknowledging that Chen Xiaolin had indeed summoned Qian Luan, Fang Yu gave a slight nod. "Very well, let us proceed!"

Both individuals nodded in agreement, their movements swift as they joined Fang Yu, quickly making their way towards the Congress venue.

"Mr. Zhao is already at the Congress. He has extended invitations to numerous officers from the Ocean Court to attend the Lanyun Sea Country's Congressional hearing collaboratively this time.

We are committed to ensuring Captain Fang Yu receives the most impartial treatment possible."

Along the route, Chen Xiaolin conveyed this information to Fang Yu with a smile, a flicker of pride evident in his eyes.

"The Ocean Court's officers are present?"

Fang Yu inquired with a smile, "And regarding Mr. Zhao's earlier statement about the Ocean Court's troops entering Lanyun Sea Country's territory?"

"Indeed!"

Chen Xiaolin confirmed with a smile. "Mr. Zhao mentioned receiving intelligence from the military indicating that the troops are currently docked within Lanyun Sea Country but have avoided entering port areas to prevent public alarm.

However, rest assured, Captain Fang Yu, Mr. Zhao assures that the Ocean Court's troops have brought a special Secret Treasure, capable of rapid deployment from afar in critical situations.

Thus, even if unforeseen events transpire at the Congress, Mr. Zhao can guarantee Captain Fang Yu's safety."

Upon hearing Chen Xiaolin's assurances, Fang Yu felt a wave of relief wash over him, accompanied by a smile.

Finally...

His sojourn in the Lanyun Sea Country was drawing to a close.

From Kong Huaao's arrival in the Lanyun Sea Country to the crisis within the Sin Domain of the Alchemy leader, a relentless succession of events had cast a shadow of potential danger over Fang Yu, fostering a constant sense of unease.

The path leading here had been fraught with extreme peril.

Now, the turmoil within the Lanyun Sea Country was finally reaching its conclusion.

He would soon depart with Kong Huaao, returning safely to the Duorong Federation.

Upon his return, not only would his personal circumstances stabilize, but he would also gain ample opportunity for personal advancement.

Furthermore, for his role in de-escalating the conflict between the two nations, the elder was slated to bestow a significant reward.

It was highly probable that another fragment of the Ocean Law Codex would soon be within his grasp.

Events had unfolded far more favorably than Fang Yu had initially anticipated. This return journey might even present the opportunity to commence work on the Extraordinary Ship.

As these thoughts occupied his mind, Fang Yu and his companions soon found themselves standing before the grand entrance of the Congress Palace.

Gazing at the very gates that had once denied him entry, Fang Yu now approached them with a profoundly altered perspective.

The sentinels at the gate exchanged glances upon spotting Fang Yu and his entourage before gesturing them inside the Congress premises.

"Sovereign, Fang Yu and his companions have arrived!"

"Enter!"

"Understood!"

Responding to the guard's booming voice from outside, the Sovereign's assent was given, and the palace doors swung open.

The familiar interior of the palace unfolded once more before Fang Yu's eyes.

Fang Yu lifted his gaze, scanning the palatial hall.

Dominating the initial view was the imposing figure of the Sovereign, enveloped in a radiant aura, exuding an air of majestic solemnity.

The Sovereign's attendants were next...

"Oh?"

A clear observation of the assembled individuals caused Fang Yu to let out a quiet exclamation.

He recalled that during his previous visit, the groups flanking the Sovereign were distinctly separated.

The left wing comprised the Southern military contingent.

The right wing consisted of the Northern military contingent.

They maintained their opposing positions, with the Sovereign positioned between them.

Now, however, any separation between the Southern and Northern military factions had vanished. Instead, their members mingled with those of Congress, all standing alongside the Sovereign as a unified body.

A further peculiarity was the absence of the top commanders from both military factions within the main hall of Congress. Only ranking military officers and politicians were present, quietly gathered around the Sovereign.

This altered arrangement stirred something within Fang Yu.

However, before his thoughts could deepen, a gentle voice addressed him:

"Fang Yu!"

A surge of delight coursed through him upon recognizing the familiar voice, and he turned his attention toward the one who had spoken.
