Before the Armored Queen truly became the queen, Alduin Gold was also a prince, and naturally lived in this royal court since he was a child.

In addition, there is an old butler named Alfre 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 Armored King's Court.

They all had a good understanding of Dou, the largest, most solid and most luxurious city in Heniu State.

Although there are some important secret places, they cannot enter and exit at will.

But there aren't many places that can hide such a large ark, so you can probably guess the approximate size.

Even without counting the interior space, the Ark's appearance alone was extremely large.

It can be said that it is even larger than the entire royal territory.

Therefore, there is no secret room or warehouse to store it.

The North Sea Ark was now right under his feet, or rather, it was buried under the entire royal territory.

There are only a few ancient tunnels connecting to the royal court.

According to records, after the Ark could no longer fly, later generations have tried to use it. The largest-scale attempt was to use the space inside to build a huge underground farm.

If the space inside can be fully utilized, it will be enough to meet the food needs of all the citizens of the Jiamian Royal Court.

However, after losing its powerful "awakening" ability, the interior space of the Beiming Ark was completely separated from the outside world.

It also lost the ability to interact with the outside world.

Because there is no sunlight all year round, plants cannot grow, and the humans living there are very prone to illness and developmental problems.

For the armor-faced monster, not only does it require a huge amount of energy to maintain it, but the food it produces also tastes bad, so it naturally becomes useless.

Later, it was gradually completely abandoned.

Most of the original main passages have now been completely blocked, leaving only one passage that can be used for entry and exit.

It is really a case of being rich and powerful and squandering resources.

"Alfre, how many years have you been with the Alduin family?"

After taking advantage of the opportunity and looting the royal treasury.

Alduin Gold walked in the palace with his hands behind his back, openly.

He could come and go freely, places that he could not have set foot in before with his status.

It seemed that the familiar environment around her evoked her memories of the past, and she began to ask the old butler beside her.

Butler Alfrey, holding a set of newly made prime minister robes in his hands, lagged behind the Grand Duke a little and followed him respectfully.

His master, the Golden Duke, had just squeezed out the Prime Minister, and he had already prepared decent clothes.

It can be said that he is doing a very good job in the position of butler.

"My Lord, Alfre can no longer remember."

"Perhaps eight thousand years."

"But now, Alfrey is just a steward of the Golden Principality."

The steward expressed his loyalty.

He is very clear about his own identity, since he is now the personal butler of Mr. Huang Jin.

Then he would put the Grand Duke first in everything, and everything else, whether it was the Alduin family or the entire Armored Royal Court, would 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 went deeper and deeper with the butler through twists and turns.

All the guards they met along the way bowed and saluted.

Originally, all the powerful guards scattered throughout the royal court were sent out by Jiang Li on the pretext of protecting the king.

Let them perform some of the most dangerous missions.

By the way, they also left their excellent equipment to the people of the Golden Duke's Palace, and temporarily formed a royal guard.

Therefore, now the entire kingdom is almost entirely populated by Alduin's men, and there will be no hindrance in doing anything they want.

Of course, if the queen returns, she will be furious and will settle accounts with him. But how could 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 Beiming Flying Boat.

But with the failure of the underground farm plan, the value of the underground space became less and less, and was eventually abandoned by the royal family.

Only this passage was left to process some prisoners of little value.

Deep in the dungeon, they saw a large hole that was tightly locked with an iron chain and an iron door, and the bottom was invisible below.

He took the key from the newly replaced jailer and opened it, and a gust of evil wind immediately rushed out.

The air convection lasted for a long time and did not stabilize, which shows how large the space below is.

He picked up a stone and threw it straight down.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, in the end Jiang Li did not hear the sound of the stone falling to the ground.

In this dungeon, if there is a mortal you don't want to see again, just throw him into this well, and he will never come out again.

"Sir, please let me go down and explore the way first!"

The butler Alfredo wants to take the risk for his master himself.

His loyalty is visible to the sun and the moon.

But the Golden Duke did not do that.

Use the spirit bead in your hand to open all the blockades on the passage below, and ask the guards above to watch the wellhead carefully.

He jumped down first.

Alfredo followed closely behind.

The downward passage was very long. They did not slow down in mid-air, but just fell straight down freely. It took them quite a while to see a little bit of fluorescence below.

There is also a faint light source in the space deep underground.

After passing through the lower end of the passage, the surroundings suddenly became clear.

Jiang Li looked around and couldn't see the end even with his eyesight. It seemed that the records left by Wang Ting's ancestors were not exaggerated.

The place where they were located was an extremely vast barren plain.

Far below, there are several old houses and buildings.

It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, but it can also be seen that it was quite large back then. It should be the remains of a previous abandoned farm.

In this space, the faint fluorescence comes from the pearls dotted on the dome above.

But it seemed that because of the depletion of energy, more than 90% of the pearls were no longer bright, and the remaining ones were very dim and could only barely provide some meager light.

Without sunlight and the illumination of these pearls, the interior space of the Beiming Ark naturally became dim and lifeless.

Jiang Li fell to the ground and grabbed a handful of soil. It was indeed loose and gave off a rotten smell.

Since there is no sunlight all year round, there are naturally no natural weather such as clouds, rain, thunder and lightning.

The soil that had lost its moisture had long since turned into desert, and all the plants had died, with only some dry plant roots and some tiny insects still mixed in.

The environment is indeed quite harsh.

This is also the reason why this space was abandoned.

But in fact, if we put this Ark in Cangyun Province and find a sect that is not too big or too small, even if we can't solve the problem of flying, it is not difficult to make it realize energy circulation again.

The method is also very simple, just like most of the sect’s headquarters, it is just to connect to the earth veins through formations and draw on the power of the earth veins.

And if Jiang Li takes action personally, it will only take half a day to bring this space back to life.

Connecting to a large enough ground vein and releasing light through the pearl is enough to allow 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 armored ogre tribe did not understand the mysteries of the formation.

At this time, rustling sounds came from all directions.

Obviously something was approaching quickly.

In the dim light, you can still see that they are all wearing tattered prison uniforms.

Obviously, he was the armored prisoner who had been thrown away over the years.

But some of them were still running on two feet, while others were on all fours, roaring continuously. They didn't look like an intelligent race at all.

In the world of immortal cultivation, any cultivator in the foundation-building stage can practice fasting and survive well with only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and a small amount of drinking water.

Although the armor-faced ogres are different and will normally satisfy their appetites, they are also creatures from Kyushu who rely on spiritual energy to become stronger.

In principle it won't be much different.

Once strength reaches a certain level, it is impossible to starve the strong ones to death just by starving them.

However, the armored nobles among these prisoners were better. They could maintain their sanity and human form for a long time.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

But those armored civilians who have decent strength but ordinary bloodlines are in trouble.

After being thrown into this space, they would not die of hunger, but after a long period of deprivation of food, their sanity had long been gone, and they turned into wild armored monsters again.

Those rushing over now are basically crazy wild armor-faced monsters.

Alfrey, the butler who was originally standing behind the Golden Duke, took a few steps forward and blocked the master, who was theoretically much stronger than him, behind him.

Then, he decisively tore open his sleeves and reached out to scrape the large abscess on it.

Zizizizi! Immediately, the thick liquid in the large pustules spurted out, splashing on the ground in front of them, and continued to expand, soon turning into a mushy human figure.

The name of this move is "raising soldiers by spreading smallpox"!

Although the appearance is a bit disgusting, its power is much stronger than the large-scale wood demon soldiers that Jiang Li created using magic.

It can also deal a double blow to the enemy both psychologically and physically.

At least 90% of the female cultivators would turn around and run away when they see this kind of smallpox soldier.

The prisoners who rushed up were no match for the smallpox soldiers, but their numbers were obviously greater, and they were temporarily entangled, creating a chaotic scene.

In the distance, more monsters heard the noise and rushed towards them.

Alfredo was still tearing off his clothes and continuing to break out his pimples.

The Grand Duke on the side quickly stopped him, this move was really disgusting.

Alduin Gold then stood in front, condensed a merciless sun in his hand, and raised it high above his head.

The scorching, bright sunlight suddenly spread out.

Those prisoners who have been in this Beiming space for dozens or even hundreds of years have not seen such scorching sunlight for a long time.

They covered their eyes and retreated in fear instinctively.

Given the huge gap in strength, numbers don't mean much.

The Golden Lord was about to release a "sun rain" that failed to cover the millions and kill all these monsters.

But at this moment, he felt a chill in his heart.

A sharp blade pierced his heart from behind! He turned his head slowly.

Behind him, the butler Alfre, still with a gentle smile on his face, was thrusting a sharp blade into the back of his master.

Obviously, that sharp blade was not an ordinary object. The body of the Golden Duke was strong enough to be compared with ordinary earth-level magic weapons.

If his strength is a little weaker, he can just stand still and ordinary objects will not be able to hurt him at all.

But the tip of a sword was protruding from his chest.

The body of the Golden Duke was easily pierced by this blow.

And that sharp blade also carries a special power.

The power of the Golden Duke is fading quickly.

The sun above his head became smaller and smaller, and within a few breaths it was completely extinguished in his hands.

Alduin Gold tried to condense the solar fireball in his palm again, but unfortunately the fire went out again just after it was ignited.

"I want to ask why."

Being stabbed in the heart from behind by the person you "trust most" is the most infuriating thing in the world.

Under the armor of the Golden Duke, he did not show much anger, but was surprisingly calm.

The necks of the armor-faced monsters are flexible and can easily rotate 270 degrees to one side.

Then he turned his head and looked down at the butler who was much shorter than him.

"What do you want to ask, sir?"

"Betrayal?"

"You are joking, Mr. Human Emperor's descendant. You are not the Golden Duke!"

Alfrey's lips curled up into an evil smile, and in just a moment, it seemed as if a different person had emerged in this body.

He seemed to be extremely confident in this sharp blade. After thinking that the overall situation had been decided, he made a shocking statement and exposed a huge secret.

The Golden Duke's pupils shrank suddenly as his body was pierced by the sharp blade.

The Lord of Fengdu City, who came from afar, had his identity revealed without anyone knowing when!

He could always think that the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark, and that he had the advantage.

I didn't expect that I was so naive, and someone took the initiative against me in the blink of an eye.

"No, not only that, if I were Alduin Gold, you would still stab me."

"Because, you and they are indeed in the same group!"

"With such strength, what are your origins? Why are you lurking in the royal court?"

The "they" that Grand Duke Huang Jin was referring to were naturally the Marquis of Yamen, the Prime Minister of the Royal Court, and many more forces that held great power and were secretly hiding in the Royal Court and were plotting something unknown.

As for how Jiang Li discovered it, he had used the identification technique to identify every noble he had seen before.

It was discovered that there were at least ten of them with rare dual-ability talents.

Moreover, one of the two abilities is "immortality".

It would be too outrageous to say that this strange situation was all a coincidence.

Jiang Li naturally became suspicious, and after observing them secretly, he found that there was indeed something wrong with them.

This led to the uprising in the throne room.

I just didn't expect that their revenge would come so quickly.

And this knife is really cruel.

"Young man, the extinction of the lineage of the Human Emperor is the trend of heaven and earth that cannot be violated."

"No one who bears this fate will have a good ending."

"If you die here, your journey will end."

Alfrey did not answer the question of the Golden Duke.

He twisted the dagger in his hand and blood gushed out of his chest.

But Alfre's nose moved, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He reached out to catch a few drops of blood flowing from the Golden Duke's chest, put them in his mouth to taste them, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

There was not even a trace of human in that blood! In front of him was the real Golden Duke.

Where is the descendant of the emperor? 　Thanks to the book friend Jiyu for the 666 spirit stones reward, and thanks to the book friend Awoo is not a crime for the 100 spirit stones reward ●)o(●
