Chapter 578 Backstab(1/2)
It is actually not difficult to find a place to store the Hades Ark.
Before Queen Armor-face truly became a queen, Alduin Gold was also a prince at the time, and naturally lived in this royal court since he was a child.
In addition, there is an old butler beside him who has lived for who knows how many years and has been following and serving the Alduin family since the birth of the Royal Court of Armor, Alfred.
They all have a good understanding of Dou, the largest, strongest and most luxurious city in Heniu Prefecture.
Although there are some important secret places, they cannot come and go at will.
But there are not many places where such a large ark can be hidden, so you can make a rough guess.
Even if the internal space is not counted, the appearance of that ark is already extremely huge.
It can be said that it is simply larger than the entire royal territory.
Therefore, there is no secret room warehouse that can store it.
The Northern Ming Ark is now at his feet, or it can be said that it is buried under the entire royal territory.
In the royal court, there are only a few ancient tunnels connected to it.
According to records, since the Ark failed to fly, later generations have also tried to use it. The largest one was to use the internal space to build a huge underground farm.
If the space inside can be fully utilized, it will be enough to meet the ghoulish needs of all the citizens of the Kamen Royal Court.
However, after losing its powerful "awakening" ability, the internal space of Bei Ming Ark was completely separated from the outside world.
He also lost his original ability to interact with the outside world.
Because there is no sunshine all year round, plants cannot grow, and the humans living inside are very susceptible to illness and stunted development.
For the armor-faced demon, not only does it require a huge amount of energy to maintain, but the food it produces also tastes bad, making it useless.
Later it was slowly and completely abandoned.
Most of the original main passages have now been completely blocked, leaving only one passage that can still be entered and exited.
The truth is that he is extremely wealthy and wastes his wealth.
"Alfrey, how many years have you been with the Alduin family?"
After taking advantage of the situation, he plundered the royal court's treasure house.
Alduin Gold held his hands behind his back and walked in this palace openly.
He can come and go at will, a place that he cannot usually set foot in due to his status.
It seemed that the familiar surroundings reminded her of past events, so she asked about the old housekeeper beside her.
Alfred, the butler, was holding a set of newly made Prime Minister's robes in his hands. He was a little behind and followed the Grand Duke respectfully.
His master, Grand Duke Golden, had just squeezed out the Prime Minister, and he had already prepared decent clothes.
It can be said that he sat in the position of housekeeper very well.
"Sir, Alfred can't remember clearly."
"Maybe it's been eight thousand years."
"But now, Alfred is just a steward of the Golden Principality."
The steward expressed his loyalty.
He is able to recognize his identity very well, since he is now the personal butler of Jin Dagong.
Then he will put the Grand Duke first in everything, and the others, whether it is the Alduin family or the entire Royal Court of Armor, have little to do with him.
This can be seen from his previous brazen attack on the Royal Guards.
No one dislikes a loyal person.
The Golden Duke nodded, and together with the butler, he continued to go deeper and deeper.
All guards encountered on the way bowed and saluted.
Originally, a large number of powerful guards spread throughout the royal court were all sent out by Jiang Li on the grounds of protecting the royal territory.
Let them perform some of the most dangerous missions.
By the way, they also left their excellent equipment and put them on their own people in the Golden Duke's Palace, and temporarily formed a new royal guard.
Therefore, almost all the people in the entire royal territory are members of Alduin's gold, and they will not be hindered by anything they want to do.
Of course, with this approach, once the queen returns, she will definitely be furious and liquidate him. But why would Jiang Li care about this?
They finally stopped in a dungeon deep in the royal court.
There used to be many passages leading to the Bei Ming Feizhou.
But as the underground farm plan failed, the value of the underground space became less and less, and it was eventually abandoned by the royal family.
Only such a passage is left, which is used to deal with some prisoners of little value.
Deep in the dungeon, they saw a large hole that was tightly locked by an iron chain door, and the bottom was bottomless.
I took the key from the newly replaced jailer and opened it, and a gust of evil wind immediately came out of it.
The air convection continued for a long time and did not stabilize. This shows how huge the space below is.
Pick up a stone and throw it straight down.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths, and in the end Jiang Li didn't hear the sound of stones falling to the ground.
In this dungeon, if there are mortals you don't want to see again, just throw them down the well and they will never come out again.
"Sir, please let me go down to explore the road first!"
Alfred, the butler, wants to personally test the risk for his family.
His loyal heart can be seen in the sun and the moon.
But the Golden Duke did not do that.
Use the spirit beads in your hands to open all blockades in the lower passages and ask the guards above to guard the well entrance.
He jumped down first.
Alfred followed closely behind.
This downward passage was very long, and they did not slow down in the air. They just fell in such a straight line, and it took them a while to see a little bit of fluorescence below.
There is also a weak light source in the space buried deep underground.
Passing through the lower entrance of the passage, the surroundings suddenly became clear.
Glancing around, Jiang Li couldn't see the end even with his eyesight. It seemed that the records left by Wang Ting's ancestors were not bragging.
The location they were in was an extremely vast, barren plain.
In the distance below, there are several ancient houses and buildings.
It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, but it can also be seen that it was indeed quite large back then, and it should be the remnants of a previous abandoned farm.
In this space, what emits light fluorescence are the pearls dotted on the dome above.
But it seems that due to exhaustion of energy, more than 90% of the pearls are no longer bright, and the remaining ones are very dim and can only barely provide some meager light.
Without sunlight, and without the illumination of these pearls, the internal space of the North Pluto Ark would naturally become dark and lifeless.
Jiang Li fell to the ground and grabbed a handful of soil. As expected, it was loose and smelled of decay.
Since there is no sunshine all year round, natural weather such as clouds, rain, thunder and lightning will not occur here.
The soil that has lost moisture has long since turned into desert, and all the plants have died. Only some dry plant roots and some small insects are still mixed in it.
The environment is indeed quite harsh.
This is exactly the reason why this space was abandoned.
But in fact, if you put this ark in Cangyun State and find a sect of medium or small size, even if you can't solve the problem of Feitian, it will not be difficult to let it realize the energy cycle again.
The method is also very simple, just like most sect stations, connecting the earth veins through formations and channeling the power of the earth veins.
And if Jiang Li takes action himself, it only takes half a day to bring this space back to life.
Connected to a large enough earth vein, the light is released through the pearl, which is enough for the plants and creatures in the space to live normally.
Using weather formations to artificially stir up the wind and clouds and simulate natural celestial phenomena can make people live more comfortably than in the outside world.
However, due to technical limitations, the armor-faced trolls do not understand the mystery of the formation.
"Sir, be careful, something is coming!"
At this time, rustling sounds came from all directions.
Apparently something was approaching quickly.
In the dim light, you can still see that they are all wearing tattered prison uniforms.
Apparently they are the armored prisoners who have been left behind over the years.
But some of them were still running on two feet, while others were on all fours, roaring and roaring. They didn't look like what an intelligent race should look like.
In the world of cultivating immortals, all monks in the foundation-building stage can live without grains, and can survive well with only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and a small amount of drinking water.
