"What's the matter?" Viscount Campbell, Minister of Defense of the Royal Palace of France, gloomyly looked at the empty display stand, looked at the dead body of the Earl of Phelps on the ground, and suppressed the anger in his heart. , Turned around and inquired behind the chilling palace guards, guards and royal guard generals.
Several commanding generals looked at each other, and they didn't know how to answer the question of the head boss, because they heard the alarm and rushed over, and they knew nothing about what was happening now.
However, a knight of the Royal Guard stepped out at this time to relieve his boss and quickly and simply explained the situation.
It turned out that shortly after the Earl of Phelps led the man into the treasure house, two of the scholars and most of them left. After a long time, there was no movement in the treasure house and the Earl of Phelps did not come out.
Due to some regulations, neither the Royal Guard nor the guard soldiers outside the treasure house can enter the treasure house, so I thought of an emergency method, that is, to directly find the knight and the guard captain and guards located at the Royal Guard station. The captain, as well as the head manager of the feast palace, several people entered the treasure trove together to check the situation. As a result, they saw this scene happening now.
The Viscount Campbell listened to the truth and truth of the Grand Knight, while looking at the door opened opposite the scholars and the treasure house on the ground, and said, "Is the thief from the institute?"
"It should be," a general learned quickly and replied, "they just passed the news over there, and the silent knight and the Royal Guard were over there."
Viscount Campbell frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why not investigate..."
"No!" the commanding general of the Royal Guard shook his head quickly, explaining: "The Seventh Institute is not the same system as us, and we are not allowed to enter the Seventh Institute without permission."
Viscount Campbell stared angrily at his men and said angrily: "What rules still apply at this time, if you don’t find out where the thieves are and find the contents in the treasure house as soon as possible, you and I will be sent to Bay by His Majesty. Go to the prison in Lenkant."
Although Viscount Campbell said so, those who led the general just nodded and said that there was no one who went to the Seventh Research Institute to investigate, because they knew that the Seventh Research Laboratory was absolutely taboo, the treasure house lost something, and everyone took responsibility together. The most serious thing would only be to remove the post or transfer to the front line, but without permission to go to the Seventh Institute, that would definitely be a dead end.
At this time, the man guarding the door of the treasure house gave way to a path, and a middle-aged man wearing a scholar's costume walked in with a somber face.
Everyone saw the middle-aged man hurried to the ceremony. The original man named Fairlandy Moose was an adviser to Louis X. Although he did not hold any positions and powers, he had extraordinary Identity, which can influence the overall decision-making of the country, is one of the most trusted people of the French emperor, and he is also a student of the Earl of Phelps.
When he came in, his sight fell on Earl Phelps’ corpse, without showing much sadness. Then he glanced inside the fast treasure trove, and fell on the statue from the Stone Throne in the treasure trove. Going on, I saw that the statue was not lost, and the originally tight face relaxed a little.
"It's right that you didn't go to the Seventh Research Institute to conduct an investigation," relieved Ferrandi turned to the generals, and then to the Minister of Defense, said: "Your Majesty has sent a special People have gone to the Seventh Research Institute, and the results of the investigation will be reported directly to your majesty. You don’t need to find the thieves in the palace anymore. The new airship you are testing just did not fly around the palace according to the scheduled route, but flew out of DìDū, It should have been hijacked by the robbers. Now all you have to do is to investigate insiders. The two people can easily get out of the treasure house, and they did not alarm any guards in the palace. They arrived at the airship test point at the exact time. Obviously there are people in the palace. Responding to them, so all you have to do now is to be investigated by the Internal Security Department of the Imperial Security Administration, which also includes you, Viscount Campbell."
Hearing Fairland’s words, everyone looked very ugly. Although they are now free from the danger of entering the prison, they must be investigated by the Internal Security Department of the Imperial Security Bureau. This seems to them not as easy as going to prison. .
Fairlandi ignored the expressions of the people around him. He commanded several of the people he brought, and then pointed to the stone carving of the throne of stone. This thing was extremely important to Louis X, even more than the seventh research room. Now, the treasure trove is no longer safe. Naturally, it cannot be kept here and must be moved to other places.
After hearing Ferlandi’s instructions, the men immediately walked to the stone carvings of the Throne of the Stones, each took out a pair of gloves and put them on, and then recited some incantations that others did not have any meaning. The sound of their recitation of mantras sounded in the treasure house, and their gloves also radiated bursts of light, and then they saw that they reached out and grabbed the stone carving. It looked like it was asking several people to take the very heavy one. The stone carving was carried away.
However, at the moment when their gloves touched the stone sculpture, an accident happened. The stone statue turned into quicksand, and it shattered into a gravel-like shape.
The entire treasure house became quiet in an instant, and everyone looked at what was happening in front of them, froze there, unable to say anything.
At this moment, a miserable shout suddenly came from the royal palace on the ground, and then the earth began to tremble violently.
Fairlandi said nothing, and ran out in a panic. Others did not know why they followed up. When they rushed out of the Royal Guard’s station, they rushed out of the main palace of the Feast Palace, rushed When he arrived outside the palace, he was instantly stunned by everything in front of him.
I saw that there were colorful rays of light appearing in the sky. These rays were intertwined, and a large net was painted. In the middle of the net, a huge monster that could not be described by words was struggling violently, and he was struggling every time. Will cause the entire palace, and even the whole city of winter tremor tremors.
After seeing the situation outside, Fairlandi felt a sudden thrill, and his heart seemed to be invaded by some kind of chaotic power, and the whole human soul seemed to be dragged into some unspeakable In the world of terror.
However, at this moment, the Turing Circle on Fairlandi’s clothes suddenly gleamed, not only pulling his soul back from the edge of that terrifying world, but also clearing the root of the chaos in his heart. , Let him return to a calm state.
"Well, it's a divine revelation! Don't..." Restoring Fairland immediately understood what was happening now, and quickly issued a warning to the people who came behind him, but when he saw those people, the warning The words stopped immediately because he knew it was too late.
I saw the defense chief ministers who came out with Fairlandi, the generals of the various palace guards, and some other knights, guards and guards all stood without expression, staring straight at the huge monster figure. There is a frenzy in the eyes, a frenzy full of chaos.
Just when Fairlandi was going to do something, the huge colorful light net in the sky burst out with dazzling brilliance, binding the indescribable monster, shrinking at a rapid speed, and finally disappeared, just at the moment when the monster disappeared All those who fell into inexplicable enthusiasm also returned to normal, at least on the surface it is normal.
However, Fairlandi, who understands what is going on, knows that things are not so simple, but that they are just beginning.
Although the airship where Leo and Sylvia had flew away at the time of the great movement of the Winter City, and the Winter City was barely visible, the colorful light network and the indescribable giant monster projected into the air, still It was still sensed and seen by Leo and Sylvia.
"What's the matter?" Although it was far away, Leo could still feel some strange emotions in his heart when he saw the inexplicable monster, and at the same time he felt the kind of corpse collector. , The real eye and other gods have very similar energy fluctuations, which makes him ask with some doubt.
"I didn't think the legend is true!" Leo did not expect that he would get an answer, but at the moment when his voice fell, Sylvia responded thoughtfully.
"You know what's going on?" Leo asked again.
"In the past, there was a legend among the top nobles of the empire. In the legend, it was mentioned that the place of Dongling City was not suitable for building a city. In order to be able to build a city here, the Knight King went to the Black Forest to kill an evil spirit. It was made into the cornerstone of the Winter City.
Sylvia explained briefly, and added:
But no one believes this legend at all, just think it is the royal family of the Français to boast how noble the royal bloodline is. , Powerful and fabricated story, but for now, this may not be a story."
At this time, the colorful light network and the monster also disappeared, and the two returned to the bridge to control the direction of the airship.
Although it looks like what happened to Dong Rin City, they did not arouse much curiosity between the two of them. Their current thoughts are more about letting the airship fly to the Black Forest as soon as possible.
When the airship flew over a small hill and could not see the city of Winter Rin, Leo suddenly seemed to think of something, a contemplative expression appeared on his face, and then said: "Do you think that monster will Is it the cavalier king?"
Hearing Leo’s words, Sylvia froze for a moment, and wanted to refute Leo’s speculation, but when it came back, he shrank back, because although Leo’s guess seemed very ridiculous, think carefully. It's not impossible.
Before, Leo had guessed from some signs that the cavalier king might still be alive, but a mortal, even a mortal with extraordinary power, can hardly live for hundreds of years no matter how long it is. A person like the king of Saran is definitely alien. Only if you become a or demigod can you have a long life.
If the cavalier is really alive as Leo thinks, then there are two possibilities. One is that he has a complete dorm cabin and freezes himself to sleep, and the other is to become a god, even an evil spirit.
Before, Leo tended to use the dormant cabin to extend the life of the knight king, because from various circumstances, the knight king or the people around the knight king know how to use it, and even master the universe civilization technology, otherwise it is impossible to carry out the dormant cabin Reasonable transformation, so that it has not been damaged for hundreds of years.
But just now, Leo felt that the guess he made earlier might be wrong. The Knight King did not use the dormant cabin to prolong life, but used other methods to become an evil spirit.
This is not just the influence of the evil that appeared just now, but more is that he can easily find out from all the materials that can be found that are related to the knight king. The knight king is a person with extremely proud personality, he disdains from other people People get alms, which is why the Knight King is willing to sign a contract with the Black Forest, and he is not willing to become a Black Forest deity like the White Deer~EbookFREE.me~ How can such a proud person be willing to lie dormant Sleeping unknowingly for hundreds of years in the cabin to extend this meaningless life, according to his character will definitely find another way to become an unrestrained god.
Sylvia also thought of this, only to think that Leo's guess was not necessarily wrong.
Another point is that the various actions of Louis X and the former French emperor Philip III can also prove Leo's speculation that the king of knights will become evil gods from one side. If the emperor of France does not know exactly one, it will work. They will never invest such a huge amount of money to build such large-scale laboratories and research institutes.
And can make these suspicious people truly believe in the so-called god-building method, then this method of god-building will definitely not come from various legends from the outside world, or those secret forces and churches, but only from all the flanges The royal family is extremely knighted.
However, regardless of whether this guess is correct, whether the French royal family really has mastered a method of becoming a god, and whether the knight king has really become an evil god, these Leo and Sylvia seem to have a relationship with them Not too big, there is no need to care too much, not to mention the signs that the French Empire, or the Winter City should be in trouble.
Inaudible, invisible, and unknowable are the iron laws that any mortal who tries to get close to the gods must know. The mortal can’t bear the influence of looking directly at the gods. I have seen it, so in the near future, Dongling City will definitely be in trouble because of this incident, such as a wave of mutations.
