Chapter 1961 - 1548: Progress
The personnel of the Mechanical Empire present looked somewhat unnatural, most people still rejected Su Mo in their hearts, after all, he had taken Rogel’s place.
However, today was Herbert’s memorial service, and the other party was here to pay respects, so no one spoke up.
Su Mo strode forward, came to the memorial platform, bowed three times to Herbert’s portrait, and then placed the white flowers in his hand onto it.
Then Su Mo turned to the crying family members beside him and said solemnly.
"My condolences!"
The family members present replied with choked voices.
"Yes."
At this time, Emperor Isaac spoke hoarsely to Su Mo: "You’ve made an effort, Lord Su Mo, coming here especially."
"This is what I should do."
Su Mo nodded slightly in response.
"Yes, Lord Su Mo, as you can see, there are many guests here, and it’s impossible to specially entertain you, so please understand!"
Emperor Isaac said somewhat wearily, he truly didn’t have the energy to entertain Su Mo, though due to the previous transaction, his impression of Su Mo had improved a lot.
And Su Mo had come specially for the memorial service, giving the Mechanical Empire plenty of face.
"It’s okay, I’ll make myself at home."
Su Mo replied.
"Yes!"
Emperor Isaac nodded slightly in response.
Su Mo then walked to the side, continuing to watch the memorial service proceed.
Everyone at the scene stepped forward one by one to pay their respects.
After about ten minutes, the Master of Ceremony in charge of reception suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Lady Goli has arrived!"
Instantly, everyone at the memorial was shocked, they all turned around to look.
They saw Goli dressed in black restraint, holding a bouquet of flowers, walking in with a sorrowful expression.
She walked to the front, bowed deeply to Herbert’s portrait, then placed the flowers she held onto it.
She then turned to Herbert’s family and said softly.
"My condolences!"
For a moment, Herbert’s relatives couldn’t hold back, tears streaming down their faces.
Herbert’s wife cried even more as she spoke to Goli.
"Lady Goli, Herbert died a wrongful death, please avenge him for us."
"Don’t worry, Star Ring City will ensure the Eternal Sleep Clan pays a bloody price, Herbert’s sacrifice won’t be in vain."
Goli solemnly promised.
"Thank you, Lady Goli."
Emperor Isaac quickly expressed gratitude.
Goli turned to look at Emperor Isaac and said to him, "You’ve been working hard recently."
"It’s not hard, it’s what I should do. But Lady Goli, may I ask, is Lord Icaroya busy lately?"
Emperor Isaac hesitated before asking.
To be honest, Emperor Isaac was quite pleased that Goli had come to the memorial, feeling a bit relieved.
However, he was somewhat disappointed as well, since Lord Icaroya hadn’t come personally.
Under normal circumstances, Lord Icaroya would have made a visit.
"My sister has important matters to handle and can’t break away, so I came in her place. But my sister is very concerned and angry about Herbert’s sacrifice, she will handle it."
Goli assured Emperor Isaac.
After all, the current situation is so turbulent, with many countries in the Second and Third Birthplaces having dissipated morale. If the Mechanical Empire, the leader in the First Birthplace, also has problems, collapse would be near.
"Understood, it’s enough to have Lord Icaroya’s word."
Emperor Isaac quickly replied.
"Okay, you don’t need to specially accompany me, go about your business."
Goli finished her simple conversation with Emperor Isaac and then said.
"Alright!"
Emperor Isaac replied respectfully.
Goli then turned and walked to the side, at this time she saw Su Mo among the crowd, hesitated in her steps, then turned and walked towards Su Mo.
Along the way, everyone saw Goli coming and respectfully made way.
Su Mo saw Goli walking towards himself and quickly greeted her respectfully.
"Lady Goli."
"Su Mo, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other."
Goli spoke gently without any pretense, conversing amiably with Su Mo.
"Been busy with some trivial matters lately."
"Yes, try not to go out much these days, prioritize your safety."
"I will, by the way, Lady Goli, I want to ask you something."
Su Mo lowered his voice and asked.
"Go ahead."
"How is Lord Icaroya recently, why haven’t I seen her come out..."
"Su Mo, there are some things I can’t answer, but I hope you can trust my sister, I still understand her well, she has never mistreated anyone."
Goli sighed slightly and said to Su Mo.
"I know, I’m just a bit concerned about the recent situation, after all, you’ve also seen the current state, not everyone has that foresight and confidence."
Su Mo explained with a wry smile.
"It’s not something I’m unaware of either, but you’re familiar with my sister’s temperament, there are things I’m powerless about."
Goli sighed slightly.
Su Mo listened to Goli’s words and couldn’t help scratching his head, he was completely confused too.
What exactly is Icaroya doing, clearly she could just come forward and resolve things herself, why doesn’t she?
"Alright, don’t think too much about it, just do what you need to do."
Goli said, seeing Su Mo’s troubled expression.
"Alright."
Seeing Goli say this, Su Mo didn’t continue to dwell on it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Star Ring City’s central area.
A grand and futuristic factory stood here.
At the factory entrance, two V-generation pure mechanical mechas named Star Messenger stood tall.
A crisp sound of footsteps was heard, as Icaroya walked past with an icy expression.
The two V-generation mechas guarding the entrance immediately knelt on one knee, lowered their heads in utter reverence.
Icaroya coldly walked into the factory.
Inside the vast factory, one giant biological mecha mass-production equipment was running at full speed, performing physical cutting and mechanical integration, mass-producing biological mechas!
One could see biological mechas being manufactured by the assembly line, sent to the reserve storage room.
Along the way, personnel wearing white research coats and white masks moved aside upon seeing Icaroya, bowing their heads respectfully, none daring to meet her gaze.
As Icaroya entered a special passage, a handsome youth wearing special crystal white V-generation bio armor, with a NO.4 insignia on his chest, unexpectedly approached.
"Lord Icaroya, you’ve arrived."
"Agaka, how’s the progress."
Icaroya asked indifferently.
Agaka replied respectfully: "Lord Icaroya, the progress is very smooth, reaching 99% completion, almost done."
If Xia Weiya and others were present, they would surely recognize this Agaka as the fourth seat, Guardian, of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights.
"Very good!"
Icaroya replied expressionlessly, continuing to walk forward.
Agaka silently followed behind her.
