Just as the scene of "prosperity and happiness" continued in the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty, outside the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty, somewhere in the dense woods, a figure in a black cloak was standing here, looking at the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty in the distance between the trees, and low whispers were heard from the darkness under the cloak.
"In the name of the first consul of the Republic of Faro, I, Bastien Chevalier, based on the power granted by Article 15 of the Constitution of Faro, initiate a separate impeachment against the fourth consul, Le Goff Sanson. During the impeachment period... the functions of both consuls shall be temporarily suspended..."
Muttering, the archon in the black robe used most of his strength to launch a powerful suppression on the other archon in the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty, almost abolishing all of the other party's power, making him become an ordinary swaying boat in the constantly surging torrent of desire in the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty.
…
In the opera hall of the Palace of Beauty, Sandrine continued to dance on the stage of the seven-petal lotus. With the blessing of the stage below her, her strength continued to grow as time passed. She mesmerized almost everyone in the audience with her seductive movements and smile, and firmly controlled the desires in their hearts. Sandrine grasped these desires in her hands and let her control them.
Including Samson, everyone in the singing hall has been completely attracted by Sandrine's dance and cannot leave their seats at all. Sandrine controls the murderous intent of the remaining Persians towards Samson in their hearts, causing it to grow madly and making them unable to help but kill Samson directly in person. If it were not for Adele's suppression, they would have lost control of themselves long ago.
However... Adele's suppression could no longer be sustained. As Sandrine's power continued to grow, Adele found it increasingly difficult to suppress her own desire to kill the remaining Persians. If it weren't for the previous movement control that had affected Sandrine, causing her to use more of her strength for defense and suppress her own desires, thus slowing down the dance, Adele would no longer be able to control the Persians' desires.
"Not yet... okay?"
Adele thought to herself, with big drops of sweat on her forehead. Just when she felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to hold on, Dorothy's voice rang in her ears again.
"It's ready. Now, Adele, go to the right side of the concert hall and put on the things I gave you. Then go to the ceremonial square. Leave the suppression work here to me for now..."
"Hmm...good..."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Adele took a long breath, took two steps back, picked up her skirt and ran away from the scene quickly. Sandrine, who was on the stage, saw this scene and couldn't help but think in her heart.
"Run away? Ha... do you think you can run away? Once Samson dies, Sheva will fully recover his ability as an archon. You will not be able to escape no matter what... This is the territory of Farajo..."
Thinking of this, Sandrine began to speed up the rhythm of her dance and intensified her desire control over the other Persians at the scene. Logically, after Adele left, those Persians controlled by desire should have attacked Samson directly, but that was not the case.
The remaining Persians at the scene showed signs of trembling all over at this moment. They were scattered everywhere, staring at the stage, wanting to do something but unable to move. Their entire bodies were controlled by a strong willpower that did not belong to them, and they could not move at all.
This... was Dorothy's move. Since she knew that the mastermind would assassinate Samson and frame the Persian remnants in the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty, she would naturally make some preparations on these remnants. During the time when Samson was on the scene, Dorothy's corpse puppet had already contacted all the Persian remnants with the super close-up ability brought by the path of the god, and left puppet marks on them in various ways.
The remaining Persians were now connected by Dorothy's spiritual thread. Dorothy relied on puppet control to fight against Sandrine's desire control, causing these remaining Persians to temporarily stop where they were.
Dorothy did not choose to let the zombie attack Sandrine directly, because in this situation doing so would arouse hostility towards the attack in the hearts of all the people affected at the scene, and this stimulated murderous intent would be controlled by Sandrine.
Dorothy did not directly use electric shock to stun the Persians, making Sandrine uncontrollable, but this might cause Sandrine to take the risk and abandon her original plan, control other irrelevant guests, find a way to stimulate their killing desire and then transfer it to Samson. Dorothy did not have spiritual threads on most of the other guests, and it was not easy for her to directly use the simple skill of materializing spiritual threads to quickly create a batch of puppets near the capital of Faraday. Therefore, the best way for her was to lure Sandrine to compete with her for the control of the remaining Persians and let her waste time here. Sandrine did choose this.
'That Adele... did she leave a message for the guys? Or is someone trying to snatch control of these bosses from me... It seems she is also prepared...
"But... as long as I have this temple stage, my power will be unstoppable. No matter how I control it, I will win..."
Sandrine said this in her heart. She could feel that although the power that was competing with her for control of Persian was very strong, it was not insurmountable. As long as she waited for a while and her power was further improved, she would be able to strengthen the desires of Persian to the point where they could break through any shackles. The extremely powerful desire could bring these people an impulsive will that transcended that of mortals.
What Sandrine didn't know was that this feeling she had was deliberately shown to her by Dorothy when she was playing the game of control with him, in order to let her have hope of eventually snatching her away, in case she messed around and affected other guests. As an extraordinary person at the Red Adult stage, Dorothy's spiritual control ability was not something Sandrine could overcome with just the blessing of a stage.
…
While the invisible tug-of-war was still going on in the concert hall, outside the concert hall, on the ceremonial square, countless minor dignitaries who were not high enough in status to enter the concert hall to watch were gathering here, either feasting and chatting in the open air, or observing the situation in the concert hall from afar through the open doors. Almost no one was aware of the tense environment in the concert hall.
When the second-class banquet was going on as usual in the ceremonial square, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded from somewhere in the room. People at the far end of the banquet looked in the direction where the cry came from, and saw a crowd gathered and making a lot of noise. A curious person picked up a glass of wine and walked towards the crowd. After squeezing past several people, he finally saw what the people there were watching.
In the center of the crowd is a beautiful lady in gorgeous attire, she is wearing cloud-patterned brocade embroidered with sparkling gold threads, and her high-waisted dress is embellished with countless gems and sparkling pearls, which highlight her proud figure. Her slender legs are wrapped in fine white silk, and she is wearing high-heeled shoes made of crystal, while her wrists and neck are adorned with all kinds of luxurious jewelry.
A golden half mask covered her beautiful face, her blonde hair was draped with countless gemstone accessories, and bright flowers decorated the top of her head. Her whole figure looked extremely luxurious and beautiful.
Such a luxurious costume, everyone in the scene immediately recognized where it came from. It was an important exhibit in the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty. It was the performance costume that Charles, the King of Costumes, wore when he held a banquet! It was the costume he wore when he played the role of a forest dancer!
The image of the forest dancer usually appears in traditional literature and art with a simple and elegant posture, but Charles's creation is completely different. The image he gave the forest dancer is extremely gorgeous and luxurious, extremely noble, contrary to tradition. This costume is the product of his understanding of the image of the forest dancer.
Why did someone wear the artifacts from the Meishen Palace? And how did he wear them so appropriately? It was like seeing the King of the Charles again. Was this a new performance at the audience banquet last year?
Such questions arose in the minds of many people at the scene, but the figure in the gorgeous dress ignored the infatuated eyes around her and walked straight forward, and the people blocking her way automatically made way.
Finally, the gorgeously dressed beauty stopped in front of the Colorful Dome Hall, in front of the huge gushing circular fountain, the Dawn Fountain. She raised her head to look at the exquisite statues and beautiful water patterns on the fountain, and stopped.
Suddenly at this moment, the fountain moved. The nozzles that sprayed water columns began to change automatically and changed the direction of the water columns. In some planned transformation, the water columns that originally sprayed upwards gradually became parallel and staggered. In the transformation, these water columns began to stagger and overlap with each other, and the entire fountain water system began to present another posture in this transformation.
Looking down from above, the jets of water become strokes, which gradually overlap and become parallel lines, and then intersect with each other to form petals. These petals built by spring water surround each other inward in a circle, and slowly build up a huge aqua lotus. This lotus has a total of seven petals, presenting the image of a lotus blooming in seven steps.
At the moment when the Seven-Step Lotus blossomed on the Dawn Fountain, the entire fountain began to change. With a rumbling sound, the sculptures on it automatically moved away to the surroundings. Where they were originally, a large circular platform gradually rose from the water and appeared in front of everyone, as if waiting for someone to climb on it.
"Is this... the first stage hidden in King Ciel's palace? It's so beautiful..."
Looking at the water lotus stage in front of her, Adele, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, couldn't help but sigh and said that for a moment, she felt that it was not bad to have such an ancestor. At least she liked this aesthetic and romantic sentiment.
