Chapter 143: Seven members of the Royal Court Team, a summary of generational anecdotes (asking for monthly tickets)
In the crystal ball, the gaze of Unit 3, Yakubaru, was exactly at the same height as the table top.
So it scanned the faces of the members of the Royal Court team one by one, and then asked Xi Zeer: "Xi Zeer, can you introduce me to the members of the Royal Court team...Except for Li Qingping, what generation-level anecdotes do the others have?"
"Okay... no one will chat with me anyway." Xizel slowly raised his head, "The big sister with blue hair is the current captain of the Royal Court Team, Ruth."
Yagubaru followed his gaze and saw a tall and beautiful woman sitting at the table with her eyes closed. She was wearing a white robe, sapphire earrings, and long sea-blue hair draped behind her head.
If things go as expected, the "White King's Scepter" logo on the white robe is the symbolic pattern of the Royal Court Team - the other six members of the Royal Court Team are wearing the same clothes, only Li Qingping, the weirdo, is wearing a black suit that doesn't fit in.
"Blue hair... it doesn't look auspicious. It reminds me of a good friend who was smashed into a meat pie." Yagubaru muttered, "What's the strange story about Ruth?"
Cesar replied softly: "Ruth has two generation-level oddity fragments, the Titanic and the Loch Ness Monster."
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and silently recalled the two rumors in his mind.
At this moment, an information prompt box automatically popped up in front of his eyes.
It was like the system helped him find relevant fragments from the memory banks of several characters and then made a summary.
[Titanic: A British luxury cruise ship that made its maiden voyage in 1912. The captain claimed that "this cruise ship will never sink." However, on the night of April 14, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank completely after 2 hours and 40 minutes. The accident killed about 1,500 people and exposed problems such as the lack of lifeboats, becoming a turning point in the reform of maritime safety. The wreckage of the Titanic was not discovered until 1985.]
"This story tells us not to set flags casually..."
Ji Minghuan complained silently in his heart. As for the "Loch Ness Monster", it was a rumor that almost everyone knew.
[Loch Ness Monster: A mysterious creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in Scotland. The earliest records date back to the 6th century, and sightings are mostly described as long-necked snake-like creatures, often associated with the descendants of plesiosaurs.]
Two generational wonders, this captain of the Royal Court team sounds really tricky.
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan continued to ask: "What about the others?"
"The big brother with broad shoulders and brown hair and glasses is called 'Louis.'" Cesar said, "Louis's first-generation wonder is 'The Tower of Babel'."
[Babel Tower: Also known as the "Tower of Babel", it is a man-made tower in the Bible. Later, due to a divine punishment, the construction of the tower was forced to stop and the workers scattered.]
"It sounds like a tough opponent as well."
Little Shark looked at the message prompt box, then looked up at Louis through the glass of the crystal ball.
Louis has curly brown hair and a bright smile on his face, pushing his glasses up from time to time.
Xi Ze paused and looked at the other members of the Royal Court Team: "The man with short black hair and a cold look is called 'Kyuki Suye', and his generation-level wonder is 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade'."
[One Hundred Demons Night Parade: A fantastic phenomenon in which monsters collectively appear in Japanese legends, which originated from the fear of "foreign objects" in the Heian period. 】
"A Hundred Demons Night Parade, this sounds awesome... I want to try it." Shark muttered, "But why are there Japanese here? And the Japanese have become a member of the Royal Court Team, how strange."
"Kyuki Suye is not a native resident of our Whale Box Garden. He entered the Whale Box Garden from the outside world after he awakened his talent as a Strange Stories Envoy." Xizel shook his head and whispered, "This situation is relatively rare. Father said that generally only people who were born and raised in the Whale Box Garden are worthy of a position in the Royal Court Team... But Kuki Suye is very powerful, so Father treated him as a special case."
"Wait a minute..." Ji Minghuan thought, "Could this Jiu Gui Su Ye be someone who has interfered with the "Salvation Society"?"
After knowing that the Salvation Society had planted Urushihara Ruri into "Rainbow Wing", it was hard for him not to think that the Salvation Society had also secretly planted spies into other forces. It was not surprising that an organization like the Royal Court Team would be targeted by the Salvation Society.
The background of "Kuki Suye" sounds very suitable. He is not a native of the box garden, but received an invitation to enter the whale box garden after his talent was awakened.
Ji Minghuan thought for a moment, "What about the other three people?"
Xizel suddenly put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, "I'm a little thirsty... I'll introduce the other three people from Yagubaru to you after I go back."
"Okay." Ji Minghuan said, "I can hear that your voice is a little hoarse."
After that, Cesare ate something symbolically, but he actually had no appetite. During this time, he kept secretly glancing at the eldest prince "Lorenzo" and the second prince "Cosimo".
He seemed to be wondering when his two brothers would call him over.
Yagubaru had a very sensitive hearing and could hear the conversation between the two princes even through the crystal ball.
So it stared quietly at the expressions of the two princes.
Lorenzo turned his head to look at Cosimo and lowered his voice: "You mean... you hired assassins last night and closed the barrier of Cesare's floating city?"
Cosimo murmured, "Yes, but I didn't get in touch with the assassin this morning, and Cesare didn't look injured."
Lorenzo put down his knife and fork and took a sip of red wine: "Do you suspect that Cesare killed him?"
"No, I suspected it was the butler at first." Cosimo shook his head, "But I have already investigated. The butler is just a low-level wonder user who can only use some of the most basic wonder fragments, such as 'Moving Stairs' and 'Pigeon Messenger'. He can't defeat the killer's 'Werewolf'. 'Werewolf' is the most powerful of the popular-level wonder fragments."
"Then it could only be that Cesar killed him?"
"Do you think this loser could possibly kill someone? How could he sit at the dining table with us so calmly the next day after killing someone? Man, he would even cry if he accidentally killed a bug. Don't you understand his character?"
Lorenzo pondered for a moment and said, "Cesare is the holder of a generational wonder. As long as he has the chance to release the wonder, defeating the killer will not be a problem."
Cosimo snorted coldly: "A strange story about his family? I still think that he is just lucky. After so many years, my father favors him just because of an insignificant strange story about his family. It is simply unreasonable..."
At this moment, a creepy feeling suddenly surged into the hearts of the two, causing the pores all over their bodies to dilate.
It was as if being stared at by something strange.
Lorenzo and Cosimo were slightly startled and stopped talking.
The next moment they both looked sideways.
Then they saw an incredible scene. In the crystal ball held by César, a palm-sized shark was lowering its face, staring at the two of them motionlessly.
The shark's pupils sparkled in the sea water, glowing a dark blue color, like the abyss.
The hall of the palace was brightly lit, and the invited guests were toasting each other. It seemed that no one noticed this strange scene like they did. For a moment, the two of them felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave, and the hair on their backs stood up.
Ji Minghuan controlled the No. 3 machine and slowly shifted his gaze away from the faces of the two princes.
He thought: The eldest prince and the second prince used the "pigeon messenger" to inform César and invited César to attend this royal dinner, probably to confirm his situation under the guise of a dinner.
After all, the two princes had just sent assassins to attack Xizel last night, so how could they dare to come to see Xizel in person? It was unacceptable both in conscience and in reason.
Cesar held a spoon in his mouth and sipped the cream of mushroom soup. He occasionally looked up from the soup and secretly glanced at the eldest and second princes.
But his two brothers never paid any attention to him and were talking to other royal family members nearby.
After waiting for a very long time, Xizel still didn't wait for the two people to call him.
Finally, he felt a little disappointed, so he pretended to want to go to the bathroom, picked up the crystal ball, stood up from the dining table, hung his head, and slowly walked towards the door.
He stopped in front of the door for a second, hesitated, and slowly turned his head to look at his two brothers at the table from a distance. Until the end, Lorenzo and Cosimo still didn't look at him.
César's dull eyes wandered over the crowd. He seemed to hear a few sneers and even some mocking voices coming from the dining table.
"He is indeed a waste prince."
"What can I achieve if I am locked up in a castle by the king all the time?"
"He was kept in a display case by the king like a toy. The king has protected him so well for so many years. I wonder what he will do after the king leaves."
"Don't talk nonsense, he has two older brothers?"
"That being said, Lorenzo and Cosimo don't seem to think of him as their brother."
"You think he doesn't have autism?"
"I feel the same way... no wonder the king doesn't want to let a prince with autism show up in public."
The sounds were harsh, and Cesar's body gradually cooled down. He wanted to cover his ears, but he couldn't free his hands because he was holding the crystal ball in his arms.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, tears welled up in Xizel's eyes. He slowly stretched out a hand, pushed the door open with all his strength, and then got out through the crack in the door and left the palace hall silently.
The door closed again, and the noise and bustle that did not belong to him were isolated behind him.
Cesar walked forward without looking back. He didn't know where to go, so he just moved forward step by step.
The corridors of the palace were winding like a maze. After walking for a long time, he finally saw the butler who was waiting for him.
"Ikar... let's go back." The white-haired boy whispered, "I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Yes... Your Highness."
Ikar replied softly, and seeing Xizel's expression, he seemed to understand what happened in an instant. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and then he gently pushed Xizel's shoulder and led him to the exit of the palace step by step.
Not long after, Ikar used the "mobile ladder" to send Xizel back to the floating castle.
Xizel returned to the bedroom with the crystal ball in his arms, lay down on the bed, and put one arm against his forehead, but tears still flowed from the corners of his eyes and wet the pillow.
Hey, hey, hey, why are you like a little girl... Ji Minghuan was speechless.
"Yagubaru, why are my brothers... unwilling to pay attention to me?" Xizel asked, "This is the first time they have invited me to a dinner party."
"Because they're all bad guys."
“They used to be very nice to me.”
"That was in the past..."
"Did I do something wrong?"
Hearing this, Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xizel through the crystal ball.
He suddenly recalled that when he was in the orphanage, the children surrounded Kong Youling in the corner of the classroom.
Kong Youling was stunned for a long time, then wrote on the notebook and asked, "Do you want to play with me?"
But those children shone flashlights into her photophobic eyes and made obscene sign language to her. Ji Minghuan couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up from his seat and pulled her away.
The two of them fled to the library together and sat on the attic roof, staring at the sunset.
After a moment of silence, Ji Minghuan suddenly said, "Xizel, you didn't do anything wrong. I can't stand stupid kids being bullied. I'll help you bully them back in the future."
Seeing that Xizel did not respond, Ji Minghuan controlled Yagubaru and sighed:
"Forget it. There's no point in talking to you about this now."
After a pause, he changed the subject: "Didn't you just say... that you would tell me about the remaining three members of the Royal Court team when you come back?"
"Yagubaru, can you let me take a break for a while?" Xizel's voice was filled with a faint cry.
"good."
After a long silence, César said, "The brother with the afro is called 'Di Zejie', and his strange story is 'Tunguska explosion'."
[“Tunguska explosion”: A violent explosion over the Siberian forest in 1908. The mainstream speculation is that a comet/asteroid disintegrated in the air, but no crater was found. Hypotheses such as Tesla experiment and antimatter are circulated, and it is still a typical case of celestial body impact research. ]
"The short-haired sister with dark circles under her eyes who looks like she can't open her eyelids is called 'Ke Ojiena', and her generation-level wonder is 'The Bermuda Triangle'."
[“Bermuda Triangle”: An area where many “mysterious disappearances of planes and ships” have been rumored to have occurred, with the representative incident being the “Flight 19” incident in 1945. Scientific explanations include methane explosions, abnormal magnetic fields, or complex weather. But to this day, it has not been completely solved, and the Bermuda Triangle remains an unsolved mystery. ]
"What kind of odd story fragment is this thing? Is it a field-type odd story that can trap people?" Ji Minghuan thought, "If so, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous for me then?"
He thought for a moment, then asked, controlling Unit 3: "Where is the silent bearded Englishman?"
"His name is Ryder, and the story behind it is 'The Sword in the Stone'."
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows, and an information prompt box popped up in front of him.
[“The Sword in the Stone”: A magical artifact from the British legend of King Arthur, symbolizing the divine kingship. According to the legend, a sword was magically embedded in a huge stone with the inscription: “Whoever can pull out this sword will be the King of England”]
At this point, Ji Minghuan finally had a general understanding of the seven people in the Wangting team.
These seven people basically represent the strongest seven people in the contemporary Whale Box Garden. At the same time, if Yagubaru wants to devour the legendary whale, the Royal Court Team is an opponent that they have to overcome.
1. Ruth (Captain, in control of the first-ever wonder "Titanic" and the first-ever wonder "Loch Ness Monster")
2. Louis (who controls the generational wonder "Babel Tower")
3. Kuki Suye (controls the generation-level wonder "One Hundred Demons Night Parade")
4. Direjie (controls the generation-level wonder "Tunguska explosion")
5. Ke Ojiena (controls the generation-level wonder "Bermuda Triangle")
6. Ryder (controls the generational wonder "Sword in the Stone")
7. Li Qingping (Deputy Captain, Trash Red Dragon, Trash Red Dragon, Trash Red Dragon)
"At the moment, it seems that Li Qingping is definitely on the side of the Third Prince...but the others are likely to be on the side of the First and Second Princes, otherwise Li Qingping wouldn't be bothered by this."
Thinking of this, Yagubaru took a deep breath and spit out foam in the sea water.
"We have the basic intelligence. The next question is how to reach a cooperation with the White Crow Brigade and Li Qingping, and then... if necessary, we can kill the other six members of the Royal Court Team."
