"Something's wrong! Did someone come here just now?"
As soon as he returned to the study and sat down, Manina suddenly felt something was wrong.
Everything around him was the same as when he left. Whether it was the placement of the files on the desktop or the position of the cup, it was no different from when he left.
But after sitting on the big chair in his office, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.
It feels like someone came here just now and stayed here for a long time.
In fact, the reason why Manina noticed it was because when Zhong Feng stepped forward, he returned to the study room behind him, and the gap in between was less than 10 minutes.
If Manina could come back an hour or two later, and the breath that Zhong Feng inadvertently leaked from the room had completely dissipated, he would not be able to feel that Zhong Feng had ever been there.
"Sunshine, did anyone come to the study just now?" Manina said loudly.
"Sunshine" is the name of the emperor's exclusive AI system.
"Reporting to your Majesty, no one has been to the study since you left, not even the waiters." AI Sunshine replied.
"I don't believe it. Sunshine, bring up the surveillance video from the study just now!"
"Okay, Your Majesty."
AI Sunshine followed the instructions and released the surveillance video in the study just now.
But after the surveillance video was released, AI Sunshine immediately went silent.
Because in the video, the document placed on Zhong Feng’s desk turned automatically without any wind, and it was actually turning pages on its own!
After one document is turned over, the pages of another document begin to be turned over.
Manina's face immediately turned dark: "No one has been here? Open your eyes and see, no one has been here?"
"..." AI Yangguang was speechless.
As a top-level AI, "Sunshine" has a perfect function of detecting living creatures. If other living creatures really come, it should be able to detect them.
As for the monitoring screen, it will not obtain information from the monitoring screen if it is not necessary.
But how could you imagine that its biological detection function completely failed, and this infiltrator actually showed a flaw on the surveillance screen?
"Your Majesty, I..."
"What are you doing? Why don't you go check it out quickly? If you can't catch this infiltrator, your job will be done by 'Eating Blue'!"
"clear!"
…
Soon, the entire palace started to move.
The guards in the palace received instructions from AI Sunshine, ordering them to go to XX place to find the infiltrators.
The royal relatives and high-level powerful men near the palace also received invitations, inviting them to come to the palace to look for the intruders.
The golden protective shield covering the Lieyang Palace burst out with a burst of dazzling golden light.
In the golden light, the thickness of the protective cover increased 10 times, and it was changed to a state that could only be entered but not exited.
Emperor Manina even flew to the sky above the study in person. His powerful mental power scanned the surface of the palace, trying to find this hateful insect.
…
The huge shock in the palace certainly affected Zhong Feng.
Zhong Feng was still happy about the key information he had found, when loud noises could be heard outside the archives.
Let’s talk about this key information first.
After entering the archives, he found that information about the Dragon Clan was not easy to find!
It's not like being in a study or in an archives. The archivist responsible for organizing the archives has classified the documents one by one according to their types. The categories are very detailed. For example, on the internal affairs side, there are water conservancy, infrastructure, and official deployment.
, local finance, treasury expenditure...etc.
Zhong Feng searched for the "Dragon Clan" in the "Foreign Race" category, and finally found some information he wanted in some old files about the decline of the Dragon Clan's reproductive capacity.
Among them, the most crucial piece of evidence is a letter written by Manina VII to a prince.
This letter explains in detail the reasons for the decline in fertility of the Dragon Clan.
The letter stated that the dragons' strong reproductive ability is the biggest threat to the Skrulls.
No matter how hard the Skrulls try, as long as the dragons can continue to expand their group with their strong reproductive capabilities, the Skrulls will never be able to become the masters of the planet.
When the Lieyang Empire was founded, the number of dragons had been suppressed by human counterattacks.
But sooner or later the dragons will counterattack, and one day they will overwhelm the Skrull cities with their huge numbers.
In order to solve this problem once and for all, Manina III and several other gods at the time finally came up with the only solution after repeated discussions.
This method is - blood sacrifice!
At that time, the largest group of superpowers among the Skrulls were not psionicists, psionic warriors and other practitioners, but a more special group called - conjurers.
The profession of conjurer is very powerful, and the talent requirement is not high. At that time, about 60% of the practitioners of the entire Skrull race were in this profession.
The position of conjurer also gave birth to two god-level powerhouses - Melia and Wen.
After discussion, the gods of the Skrull tribe decided to implement a blood sacrifice.
In this blood sacrifice, half of the dragon clan will be wiped out instantly, and the remaining half's reproductive capabilities will be greatly suppressed.
In reciprocity, the Skrulls will also have to pay a huge price.
All conjurers, including Melia and Win, will lose their power and become ordinary people, and the profession of conjurer will never be produced again in the future;
Three million Skrulls will sacrifice their lives in a blood sacrifice;
Manina III and other god-level descendants will be bound to the origin of the blood sacrifice and become very short-lived, even shorter than the life span of ordinary people. This blood curse will last for eight generations before slowly dissipating.
…
This is indeed the case.
Starting from Manina IV, the fourth emperor of the Sun Empire, no emperor could live beyond the age of 70. They all died at a very young age.
Generally, the lifespan of a strong person above the sixth level is around 2,000 years old. If they are less than 70 years old, they will basically die young.
It was not until the twelfth and thirteenth lives of Manina that the Lieyang royal family gradually got rid of the blood curse and returned to normal, and the Lieyang Empire gradually began to become stronger again.
In the letter, Manina VII told his brother the reason why the royal family has a very short lifespan, and encouraged him to have more children to offset the impact of the short lifespan.
…
It can be said that Zhong Feng should not be too happy after finding this letter!
It turns out that "the Skrulls used special means to interfere with dragon reproduction" was just their speculation. Once they get this letter from Manina VII, it can be said that there is solid evidence!
Zhong Feng did not stop after getting the letter. He continued to search for evidence.
In addition to finding evidence, he must also find one more thing - how to lift the curse of the dragon clan.
Just such a letter can only make the Dragon Clan angry, and it is still beyond the power to make them stand completely against the Skrulls.
They must be given a reason to destroy the Skrulls, and then the dragons may stand firm.
But as soon as he started rummaging, noises came from outside.
