506: Yang Tao is here to look for her husband

Chapter 505: Yang Tao Came to Find Her Husband

At the same time, on the outskirts of the Central Region, in a prosperous small kingdom.

As a dazzling white light shone, Yang Tao and Angela appeared at the center of the teleportation array, and several staff members wearing Superville military uniforms quickly stepped forward to handle the registration.

Although the small kingdom was very far from the Suweier Empire, it had become a colony thousands of years ago.

The small kingdom was directly governed by Superville, had to pay a fixed amount of tax every year, and also had a considerable number of Superville troops stationed there.

As the top powerful nation in the Central Region, and even the entire Demon Spirit Continent, being colonized by Superville was not necessarily a bad thing.

With someone covering them from above, the kingdom, though small, was full of confidence, avoiding many troubles and even dominating within a range of millions of miles.

At the same time, for ease of management, Superville had also specifically built large teleportation arrays.

Whether traveling from the Eastern part to the Central Region, or from the Central Region to the Eastern part, if one wanted to teleport, they would definitely have to pass through the small kingdom.

To some extent, the small kingdom had even become the "gateway" to the Central Region, and over time, it was difficult for it not to prosper.

And Superville Kingdom had hundreds of colonies like this small kingdom, far ahead of other countries in the Central Region!

More importantly, Superville Kingdom did not colonize just anywhere; it was all based on economic, political, and military considerations.

With thousands of years of accumulation, Superville had subtly become the most powerful empire in Demon Spirit, enough to support Luca III's ambition to dominate the continent!

In the eyes of this young emperor, the small-scale colonization game was over; it was time for the Demon Spirit Continent to change its name.

"AJ, can't we skip this inspection procedure?" Yang Tao tugged at Angela's sleeve and said seriously, "I can pay more, lots and lots and lots of money!"

Hearing this, Angela looked around and saw several fully armed Superville soldiers patrolling, and she shook her head helplessly.

"I'm afraid not. That Divine Machine Witch has committed crimes repeatedly, and the Central Region is currently under strict investigation..."

Other places might be fine, but this small kingdom happened to be a colony of Superville, and Luca III's orders had to be strictly enforced.

Yang Tao was a little dissatisfied because they still had to pass through many Superville territories afterward, and if they had to be inspected every time, how much time would that waste?

"AJ, think of something. My sister said that black card is the best pass in the world."

Yang Tao had always been in a hurry. As early as when she first arrived on the Demon Spirit Continent, she had clearly stated that she would find Dick within three days.

"You absolutely must not take out the black card again!"

Angela did not speak but instead used encrypted voice transmission, earnestly warning, "At this point in time, the more money you have, the more troublesome the inspection will be!"

"?"

Yang Tao looked puzzled, not understanding the logic in Angela's words.

Isn't it true that in most places in this world, the richer you are, the more convenient it is?

How did it completely reverse in the Central Region...

"It's all because of that Divine Machine Witch. She is very rich, and like you, she is also a black card user of the Elf Gold Firm!"

With the two methods of magic-guided puppets and spatial teleportation, Apricot Lilli was almost impossible to apprehend, making her extremely difficult to capture.

And one of her few characteristics was being rich, very rich!

Therefore, currently, within the sphere of influence of the Suweier Empire, all outrageously wealthy outsiders become suspects, especially black card users.

A few minutes later, Yang Tao and Angela were taken to separate private rooms to be personally questioned by a Superville Investigating Officer.

"Child, did you falsify your age..."

"What are you talking about? In five months and eight days, I'll be 19!"

Hearing this, the Investigating Officer looked suspicious.

After all, Yang Tao looked like a child around ten years old. She sat on the chair, and her feet couldn't even touch the ground.

Seeing Yang Tao's displeasure, the Investigating Officer chuckled awkwardly and lowered his head to check her visa information.

"You're from Eastern Germany? Your visa shows you only arrived in the eastern part of the Demon Spirit Continent yesterday morning, but now you're in the Central Region. Why are you in such a hurry..."

Yang Tao and Angela's behavior was indeed very suspicious.

One must know that she and Angela had been traveling since yesterday, and they hadn't rested at all except for bathroom breaks.

Even when eating, they ate the dry rations they carried with them, and they ate while walking...

Facing the questioning, Yang Tao was not flustered. Instead, she took out a letter from her In arms and handed it to the Investigating Officer.

"My husband had an accident in the Central Continent, and now he's on his last breath. I rushed here specifically to see him one last time..."

"Wait!"

The Investigating Officer suddenly waved his hand to interrupt and looked at Yang Tao with a strange expression, "Your husband... what's his name?"

"Dick Grudia. Is there a problem?"

"Uh... that doesn't seem like a name from Eastern Germany..."

Yang Tao was still not flustered. Instead, she took out a worn-out marriage certificate from her In arms and opened it to show.

Inside, there was a blurry magic photo, barely showing a man and a woman, along with their identity information.

"You are right. My husband's ancestors were from the Northern part of the Demon Spirit Continent and were merchants specializing in foreign trade..."

There was a magic-guided lie detector in the private room, which worked by detecting heart rate and brain waves, but it showed no reaction from beginning to end.

After several rounds of questioning, Yang Tao's answers were flawless and without any suspicious points, and the inspection proceeded very smoothly.

However, the most important thing was that before entering the private room, Angela had secretly slipped the Investigating Officer several gold tickets, enough to equal several years of his salary.

Angela's meaning was simple: she just wanted the Investigating Officer to be a little flexible within reasonable, legal, and compliant circumstances, and not make things difficult for Yang Tao.

This kind of operation is very common. Anyone who understands social etiquette basically knows how to do it; it's the same all over the world.

The Investigating Officer's salary was not high, and coupled with being assigned to such a remote small kingdom, there were no commissions or bonuses without tasks.

However, there were still many people scrambling to be transferred here, all for the sake of earning "extra money."

"Alright, Ms. Yang Tao, the inspection is cleared. I wish you success in finding your husband!"

The Investigating Officer stood up to see her off and also joked, "Speaking of which, your husband's name is really interesting. He has the same first and last name as a top talent in our Central Region..."

"Heh, that would be my husband's honor then."

Yang Tao responded casually and quickly walked out of the private room, where Angela had already been waiting for a long time.

She was a registered A-rank adventurer who specifically took official tasks and had a guild as a guarantor, so her inspection was very easy.

Just as Yang Tao and Angela were preparing to teleport again, an old-faced Investigating Officer suddenly spoke up.

"Ms. Yang Tao, please open that box you're carrying on your back. It's just a routine check..."

When passing through the security array earlier, the box directly blocked the scan, and no one knew what was inside.

At the same time, the weight of the box was also very exaggerated. When it was weighed earlier, it directly exceeded the maximum threshold of ten tons!
