The ancient thousand-year empire, the immortal Dragon Soul Emperor, the baby girl brought out of the lava pit...everything is shrouded in a veil of mystery, even in this world of Lahirien, which is full of mysteries.
The combination of these things still aroused Hao Ren's curiosity.
This long-established empire indeed hides countless secrets.
But Hao Ren was just curious. He had no intention of delving into these secrets for the time being. He came here to find traces of the Crazy Lord's pollution in the previous reincarnation of the universe and the reason why this world could survive.
In a word, they are looking for the "vaccine" for the Lord of Madness, and the royal secrets of a mortal country do not seem to be that important in front of this goal. Unless it is related to the "vaccine", it is not worth spending time on it.
Of course, it was just a casual chat and getting some information. Hao Ren still didn't mind continuing on this topic: "This Princess Constance seems to be deeply trusted by the emperor. The Knights of the Broken Sword should not be just anyone."
You can control it."
"So it's no wonder that some people suspect that Princess Constance is the illegitimate daughter of His Majesty Berrentine. The Dragon Soul Emperor is willing to hand over one of the empire's most combat-effective troops to this adopted daughter. This explains some problems," Charlie
Man said, "Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed outstanding in strength. She probably also possesses the Dragon Soul. It is said that she has surpassed all the palace teachers in her childhood, and after taking over the Knights of the Broken Sword, she even surpassed
That legion is stronger than before."
"Okay, I know about this, but we seem to be a little off topic," Hao Ren pinched his chin, suddenly remembering that the issue the three of them were discussing at the beginning was not the issue of illegitimate daughters of the royal family, "We were just talking about black and white.
Sword Knights, are you coming to me because of those knights?"
Charlemagne pondered for a moment and said bluntly: "We suspect that those knights are coming for us."
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"Although the Black Sword Knights are distributed throughout the kingdom, they do not wander around rural villages and towns like patrols. They are usually stationed in barracks in various big cities or in more important military fortresses, and in a town like this...
It is only one level higher than an ordinary village within the empire. Under normal circumstances, no Black Sword Knight would come here in person, let alone a five-person team."
Evana added and explained: "In a place like this, a visit by the attendant of the Black Sword Knight is already a great honor to the local officials."
"So that's it," Hao Ren suddenly realized, "In this way, for these ordinary knights to run around like this, there must be a very serious problem, and you two... happen to be a very serious problem.
.”
Evana couldn't hide her face and nodded worriedly.
"You really need to be more vigilant," Hao Ren frowned, "If these knights are coming for you, doesn't it prove that the top brass of the Dragon Empire and even the emperor himself were involved in the previous pirate attacks? After all,
You just said that those Black Sword Knights take orders directly from the Emperor himself."
"We don't want to think so," Evana gritted her teeth. "Although there are occasional border frictions between the White City Federation and the Dragon Empire, the two forces have never had any deep hatred. The ancient country of Ys of the White City Federation itself is even more
We have maintained long-term diplomatic relations with the Dragon Empire. This time we made a secret trip... His Majesty Berendine even hugged me and my brother..."
In the end, she still didn't say what the secret mission was about.
"Don't be swayed by these personal feelings," Charlemagne frowned, "Avenna, I don't want to think so, but as soon as we settled in this town, the Black Sword Knight ran over right behind us. This is really nothing.
good sign……"
Hao Ren was about to speak when he suddenly heard Vivian's voice coming from the door: "But you must not be sure yourself."
The Charlemagne brothers were extremely nervous when they heard the voice. They were relieved after confirming that it was Vivian. Then Aviana looked a little embarrassed and scared: "Is it possible that the conversation inside can be clearly heard from the outside?"
"No, my ears are special. I can hear many sounds that ordinary people can't hear." Vivian closed the door, turned around and waved her hand, "The guy in the next room must have heard it too, her ears are better than mine."
Well, if someone takes a bite of a biscuit three streets away, she will drool on her feet in the room."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lily yelling from next door: "Bat, don't think I can't hear you!"
The Charlemagne brothers and sisters were suddenly shocked and suspicious, thinking to themselves, are the guys who came out of the World Tree Temple all mutants!?
"As I said just now, you must not be sure," Vivian came to the brother and sister and looked into their eyes, "otherwise you would have packed your things and run away immediately. How could you still come here to talk to Hao Ren?"
There is nothing left to talk about."
"Indeed, our whereabouts have not been exposed all the way. It can even be said that we 'descended' to this area. Those black sword knights are not specialized trackers. It is unlikely that they have discovered our traces," Charlemagne choked.
After a moment, he still said with a normal expression, "Perhaps they are not just searching in this town, but launching a large-scale search in a large area. At this time, there is a possibility of being discovered if they act rashly."
"Understood, then we will also pay attention to being careful when doing activities," Hao Ren understood the meaning of this suspicious and cautious prince, "Just try to avoid those black sword knights, right?"
"That's the best," Evana stood up from her chair and raised her skirt generously, "My brother and I came here mainly to talk about this matter."
Hao Ren laughed dryly: And then accidentally it turned into a popular science site about local customs and customs, right?
After the brothers and sisters left, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his eyebrows: "Sure enough, there are dragons and crouching tigers in any place no matter how small it is. I didn't expect that a Dragon Empire on this small planet of Lahirien would actually be there."
There will also be so many secrets.”
"Didn't you say that in your eyes, the prosecutor observes the world, there is no distinction between big and small civilizations," Vivian smiled and came over to pinch Hao Ren's shoulders, "If it weren't for important matters, such an interesting thing would be
It’s actually good to stay there for a while.”
"Your way of thinking is closer to mine, it feels like you want to be a prosecutor," Hao Ren smiled and looked up at Vivian, "But to be honest, it's not impossible to pay more attention to the details of this country.
, after all, none of us know what kind of traces the Crazy Lord will leave in this world, maybe it can be hidden in these messy royal secrets."
"It's hard not to be affected by being with you all day long," Vivian smiled helplessly, "By the way, has Nolan discovered anything inside the planet?"
The fact that Hao Ren and his party are acting together with the Charlemagne brothers and sisters does not mean that they have entered the mode of sightseeing. In fact, through spiritual connection, Hao Ren has been conducting in-depth scanning and search of the planet. Data
Hundreds of precision probes have been released into the "world rift" that divides the planet into two. In the past twenty-four hours, they have been continuously sketching the internal structure of the planet.
Since the planet was divided into two halves, even the original core of the earth was directly exposed, the scanning work of the probe was much easier. Soon a large amount of information was gathered in front of Hao Ren, but unfortunately there was nothing valuable in it.
thing.
"Nothing was found," Hao Ren shook his head, "The physical structure of this planet is clear at a glance. Although its current state is quite contrary to common sense in physics, apart from this anomaly, no clues related to the Lord of Crazy Loudness were found at all.
The material structure of the planet was reshaped, and so were the humans and human history on the planet's surface. Even single-celled organisms and the primitive atmosphere were restored bit by bit in Leah's dreams... I really doubt this.
Can we still find clues? Oh, by the way, speaking of Leah, what is your mother doing now?"
"It sounds even weirder when you say that," Vivian rolled her eyes at Hao Ren, "When Leah was resting in the room, she actually transferred most of her energy to the main body to do her homework. She said she was concerned about the quality.
I’m not very proficient in projection yet, so it’s quite difficult to maintain multitasking for a long time.”
Since she is using mass projection in the "dark field" anchored in the dream plane instead of entering the surface world, Leah's time to activate the bracelet does not have the six-hour limit, but the mass projection itself still requires a lot of work.
Highly energetic, Leah is a beginner after all, and she also has heavy learning tasks, so when Hao Ren doesn't do much, she will naturally put most of her energy back to her main body.
Just leave an avatar here who only knows how to eat at fixed points, so it is no better than a disabled child... By the way, why does a quality projection have the function of eating?
Hao Ren shook his head and put aside this question that was destined to be fruitless. He relaxed his shoulders and began to enjoy Vivian's massage in a down-to-earth manner.
Gentle fingering plus just the right amount of weak current stimulation...it's quite comfortable.
…
Charlemagne and Evanna spent the rest of the day on high alert.
Although they do not think that their whereabouts have been exposed, and they are not completely sure that those black sword knights are coming for them, after all, there are worries in this regard. Years of education and training prevent them from doing anything in this environment.
Relax your vigilance.
You must always be prepared for those knights to suddenly come to your door: if the previous pirate attack is really related to the Dragon Soul Emperor, the black sword knights will be a group of deadly killers for the brother and sister.
However, everything seemed to be just a false alarm.
The guards investigated the situation in the town and soon confirmed that the black sword knights were not here to search for anything. They went straight to the town hall, but barely stayed in front of the local officials for long. Just after nightfall,
When they arrived, they left through the main entrance of the town.
This feels like a messenger coming and going in a hurry.
The next night, everything was calm.
But even though no one came to trouble his group, Hao Ren and his party soon felt that the atmosphere in the town had changed.
