Chapter 225: Visitors from the Imperial Palace, the Strongest Generation Level (10,000 words updated, please give me a monthly ticket)
In the pavilion at the back garden of the imperial palace.
The eldest prince Lorenzo looked up and saw that under the bloody sky, group after group of royal soldiers were walking up the suspended stairs and heading towards the whale's mouth.
The Royal Court Army was dispatched naturally to support the Royal Court Team and capture the legendary "Shark of the Eternal Abyss".
Lorenzo was sure that the Wangting team could defeat Li Qingping, but they didn't know the specific strength of the shark.
All he knew was that Koojena said the shark took only one minute to crack her "Bermuda Triangle".
The Bermuda Triangle is an extremely special space-related wonder of the generational level.
To break it in such a short time is probably something that no wonder user in the box garden can do, so Lorenzo had to overestimate the strength of the Eternal Abyss Shark.
"Father, father... In order to protect Caesar, you actually left this monster with him?" Lorenzo sighed with a complicated expression.
At this moment, a dove flew over quickly and landed on the back of Prince Lorenzo's hand.
He opened the letter from the pigeon, took a look at it, then his face changed, he raised his head and said:
"There are invaders coming from the whale's mouth."
"Invaders?" The second prince Cosimo turned his head and looked at him. "Why did you choose this time?"
Queen Kaliliana frowned and closed the book.
"What exactly happened?" she asked.
"They said... it was the White Crow Brigade." Lorenzo murmured.
"White Crow... Brigade?"
Cosimo was startled and murmured in shock.
When he and Li Qingping went to Tokyo to attend the underground auction, they had already witnessed the horror of this group:
——With just one group, he tore the Japanese underworld into pieces and turned it into a mess, and almost wiped out the bodyguards at the auction.
If a guest from "Lake Hunting" had not happened to appear at the auction that day, the Second Prince Cosimo and Li Qingping would probably have died at the auction.
Cosimo's face twitched slightly and his right hand began to tremble, as if he thought that the people from the White Raven Brigade were coming for him.
A brief silence enveloped the pavilion, and finally it was Ke Ojiena, the owner of the "Bermuda Triangle", who spoke to break the silence.
She yawned, tilted her head and said, "Don't worry, Your Highnesses. As far as I know, most of the members of the White Crow Brigade are at the quasi-disaster level. With the strength of our captain Ruth, it is more than enough for her to stop all of them alone."
Just as he finished speaking, a tide of pitch-black crows suddenly filled the blood-red sky and flew into the courtyard. The guards in white robes collapsed to the ground with their eyes turning black before they could even summon the Atlas of Strange Stories.
"What's going on?"
Kaliliana looked up from her book with a look of surprise on her face.
"I don't know..." Lorenzo said, "Mother, don't be nervous, I'm here."
"Crow..." Cosimo's pupils contracted.
As the three were talking, a pitch-black crow flapped its wings and flew over, then turned into a cloud of crow feathers and disappeared. A figure in a long black windbreaker then appeared in front of the pavilion.
Qi Yuanli stood on the marble pavement with his hands behind his back, looking up at the three people in the pavilion. The space on his right suddenly twisted, and a woman wearing a fox mask appeared beside him, looking exactly like Tong Zizhu.
"People from the White Crow Brigade!"
Cosimo was startled and took two steps back and bumped into a pillar.
"White Crow Brigade?"
Lorenzo frowned and looked at the leader of the brigade.
Kaliliana was startled, then comforted her: "It's okay, Keojiena is still here, don't worry, kids. They are just a few thieves, they can't cause any trouble..."
However, Ke Aojiena was stunned for a moment, rubbed her dark circles, and muttered to herself:
"You're right, but I'm no match for them... I just used the 'Bermuda Triangle' on that shark, and it's hard to send them away with traps in a head-on battle."
At this point, she sighed, "Forget it... I'm leaving first. I still have to go back and explain to those old guys from the Salvation Society."
Lorenzo stood up from the stone chair and gave the order without turning his head:
"Ke Ojena, stop them!"
Ke Ojiena took off the hairpin on her head, and her bun fell down. "My Queen, and your Highnesses, I won't play house with you anymore. Bye."
"What do you mean, Coogena?!" Cosimo's expression turned cold. "Are you going to disobey our orders?"
"Why should I risk my life for you? You should blame the Royal Court team for not doing their job well and letting these bad guys in. Do you understand? Idiot."
After she finished speaking, Keojiana took a step back under the gaze of the queen and the two princes.
Then, a triangle like the aurora borealis suddenly appeared and engulfed her figure.
Cosimo was stunned for a moment, then he shouted: "Cogena?!"
“How could it be…” Lorenzo looked stunned.
"The people from the Royal Court Team abandoned us?" Kaliliana's face turned pale.
Tong Zizhu seemed to have not expected the development of the situation. He was stunned for a second, and then moved forward with a smile.
She shrugged and said, "It seems like you were sold. How pitiful."
At this moment, the hacker's voice suddenly came from her pocket:
"Hurry up and do it, why are you so fussy, could it really be Xia Pingzhou's mother?"
Tong Zizhu's face darkened slightly. He tightly grasped the phone in his pocket and shook the hacker on the screen that had turned into a data stream.
"I'm not his mother, I'm your mother. Shut up, you hear me?"
The hacker stopped talking.
"Tong Zizhu, you and the hacker go into the palace to find the White King's scepter. If necessary, disguise yourself as the third prince to get close to the king." Qi Yuanyuan said expressionlessly, "I will stay here and play with these two princes."
"All right."
Tong Zizhu put one hand on his waist, then raised his hand to cover the fox mask. His figure suddenly twisted like a TV character with frames cut out, and then disappeared in a blur.
"They're going for the scepter!" cried Cosimo.
"Brother, we must take care of ourselves and protect our mother first." Lorenzo said in a low voice.
Lorenzo and Cosimo stood up at the same time and protected the queen. At this time, thousands of crows surrounded the entire pavilion like a storm. Looking out from the pavilion, one could only see a bottomless darkness. They were isolated and helpless, and were completely surrounded.
At the same time, in the floating royal palace.
Bernardo walked into the royal palace step by step, and behind him was a sea of guards. They fell to the ground, pinching their necks, with blood flowing from their noses.
Because most of the soldiers went to Whale Mouth for support, the garrison of the Royal Palace became much smaller, giving Bernardo an opportunity to take advantage of.
The lights came on one by one, and the faint blue fireflies illuminated every corner of the royal palace.
Looking up, one can see generational wonders embedded in the grooves made of crystal. The marble walls above the grooves are covered with magnificent oil paintings, corresponding to the legends of the fragments of wonders, and every stroke and every painting is breathtakingly beautiful.
"Then...all these good things belong to me."
Bernardo adjusted the one-way mirror on his face, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
At the same time, inside the palace, in the king's bedroom.
The emaciated old king suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from the bed. All the tendons in his body tightened and his black blood vessels began to beat.
He held his chest and looked at the vibrating crystal compass on his right hand side: "Has the Royal Court been invaded?"
If the King's Palace is invaded, the compass will awaken him from his slumber.
There is a hidden switch on the compass that connects to the Royal Palace. This was designed by the previous king to prevent the fragments of strange stories from falling into the hands of evil people: as long as the king turns on the switch, the Royal Palace will collapse and self-destruct in an instant.
The old king took a deep breath, bit his right index finger and let the blood flow out. Then he stretched out his right hand and felt every corner of the compass until he finally found a notch.
He thrust his bloody fingertips into the notch, and the compass trembled violently before shattering.
"That's good..." the old king said softly, "The fragments of the palace must not fall into the hands of thieves."
At this moment, the lights of the Royal Palace in the distance suddenly dimmed again.
Bernardo, who was in the hall, took off his one-way mirror, raised his head blankly in the darkness, and looked around.
"What's going on..." He murmured softly.
The ground of the Royal Palace suddenly began to tremble violently, as if there was an earthquake, but it was clearly in the sky!
Bernardo frowned, summoned the atlas of strange stories, and crushed the strange story fragment "Invisible Hand".
White light patterns flashed by, and suddenly a pair of long transparent hands stretched out from behind him, touching the generation-level wonders in the grooves.
But the moment the invisible hand touched the fragments, the fragments of generational wonders suddenly burst into orange-red light, and then flew towards the exit like meteors.
"The fragments flew away?"
Bernardo turned his head sharply and murmured in disbelief.
The next moment, the gate at the exit fell down, and the entire royal palace suddenly collapsed.
Bernardo wanted to summon the skeleton frenzy of the "Black Death" to help him defend against the falling ruins, but then he remembered that the skeleton was fighting against Ryan at this time.
"Why? Why?!"
Bernardo roared to the sky as the ruins collapsed, squeezing his flesh and blood into a bloody mist.
At this moment, in the towns of the islands on the sea, whether they were fishermen or messengers, no matter what work they were doing, they all raised their heads amid the huge commotion and discussions, and looked at the sky in shock.
Under the blood-red sky, the majestic Royal Palace gradually broke apart and turned into ruins. Its wreckage suddenly fell into the sea, raising waves and swallowing up the passing fishing boats.
After the waves receded, the fishermen screamed on the heaving sea, grabbed the overturned stern with their right hands, and struggled to climb up.
At the same time, in the king's bedroom.
The old king stood up with his back against the headboard and turned to look out the window. Countless orange lights flew in like meteors and fell into his hands - these were countless generational fragments of strange stories from the Royal Palace.
These fragments of strange stories combined together to form a huge ball of light. As the ball of light extinguished, a card with a faint halo appeared in the sky.
The king reached out and grasped the dull card.
He knew in his heart that the Royal Palace had existed for countless years since its establishment, and had accumulated countless beliefs, aspirations and legends in the hearts of the people.
So when the Royal Palace collapsed, the most powerful generation-level anecdote fragment in the world - "The Royal Palace" was born.
The old king lowered his eyes, took one last look at the brilliantly lit crystal palace engraved on the card, then he gathered all his strength and crushed the card.
But there was no flash of orange light in the bedroom. It was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
The king started coughing violently, holding onto the bed, and turned his head tremblingly to look out the window. Suddenly, above the sea, an orange beam of light broke through the surface of the sea and shot up into the sky.
Then, the originally collapsed and shattered ruins of the Royal Palace suddenly floated up piece by piece, and the crystal fragments gradually fit together into a huge, floating Rubik's Cube in the blood-like twilight.
This is the most special and powerful "Generational Wonder" in the world. It can only be used once, and its power depends on the fragments of Generational Wonder stored in the Royal Court.
In the entire box world, even the White King's Scepter cannot subdue it, it can only reduce its power as much as possible.
The next moment, the Royal Palace had been recast, and each side of the crystal cube was a hundred meters long and wide.
It suddenly became agitated and rushed towards the whale's mouth like a ship.
This is the ultimate anti-enemy weapon passed down from generation to generation in the box-shaped world. It is only allowed to be activated when the country is facing a disaster of destruction. At the same time, there is another prerequisite to activate it, which is the collapse of the "King's Palace".
No matter what kind of invader it is, they must kneel down and surrender before this national strategic weapon.
The king took a deep breath, held his chest, lowered his head and looked at the white bone staff beside the pillow.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure walking in from outside the bedroom.
"Who is it?" The king frowned and growled hoarsely, his old and skinny right hand tremblingly grasping the White King's scepter.
However, at this moment, the king was suddenly startled.
Because the person he saw was none other than the third prince "Cesare".
At the entrance of the bedroom, the white-haired boy raised his head, and the king's face was reflected in his blue pupils.
"Father," he said softly.
"Cesare, are you all right?" the king said hoarsely, breathing a sigh of relief.
The white-haired boy shook his head: "Father, the situation outside is very bad now. I need the scepter in your hand."
"Cesare, someone invaded the Royal Palace, and I destroyed it." The old king held his chest, panting and speaking intermittently, "Cesare... take the White King's Scepter and never give it to anyone—"
"I will," said Cesar calmly, "and sleep peacefully, Your Majesty."
"Okay... I'll leave it to you. I'll leave it all to you..."
The old king panted, nodded and repeated, then slowly closed his heavy eyelids and collapsed on the bed.
He is dead.
The White King's scepter glowed faintly, and the invisible barrier covering the king suddenly disappeared.
Only then did Xizel look up and look at him curiously and suspiciously.
After confirming that he was really not breathing, he tiptoed to the bedside, reached out and grasped the White Scepter in the king's hand and pulled it out.
He exhaled, raised his hand, and took off the transparent fox mask on his face.
At this moment, Xizel seemed to have a different face and even his height had changed.
"The old king really loves this third prince... He just gave away the most important treasure of the royal court. By the way, what on earth was that thing in the sky just now?"
Tongzizhu murmured to himself and looked down at the dead king.
"Never mind... Just give the scepter to the albino boy, and my mission will be over." She shook her head and held the White King's scepter between her arms.
Then he raised his hand and put the mask on his face, and his figure turned into a shadow and disappeared.
The bedroom was quiet and the world was silent.
A blood-red maple leaf fluttered across the windowsill and landed on the old king's aged face.
