Although Dayi is an irritable believer in [war], he has one good point, which is that he never interrupts the rhythm of his teammates' work.
Seeing Cheng Shi fell into deep thought after the interrogation, he just frowned but didn't urge him.
After a while, Cheng Shi looked up from his thoughts and asked the historian again:
"Is there any token in the Rossna Empire that symbolizes the imperial power or the divine authority?"
The old man was startled, and nodded quickly: "Yes... The Scepter of Purification in your Majesty's hand is the highest symbol of royal power, but the scepter has been taken away."
"What does the scepter look like?"
"It is one person tall and three fingers wide. It is carved from a whole piece of wood. A dark green gem is inlaid on the top of the scepter."
Cheng Shi frowned and ruled out another option.
After several inquiries failed to get the result he wanted, he had to change to a more direct way of asking.
"What about the dagger? Is there any famous dagger in the Empire? Maybe it's not a dagger, but it's similar to a dagger in function. Anything similar will do. Is there any?"
After hearing this, Old Galen finally realized that these powerful humans were not looking for anyone, but were looking for a dagger.
He pondered for a while, then suddenly glared and said:
"It seems... there was."
"!!!"
Everyone instantly perked up, and Dayi even lifted up Jialong and said excitedly, "Oh my god, it's finally here. What's your name? Where is it?"
Old Galen was terrified. He kept shaking and quivering his lips as he replied:
"The eldest prince once traded with a foreign caravan and bought a dagger that could cut through iron like mud. He showed it to others many times, but after a while, he hid the dagger and strictly ordered everyone not to mention it again.
This happened a long time ago, or few people remember it. If my child hadn’t been familiar with the eldest prince’s child and accidentally bumped into his secret room while playing, perhaps no one would remember it…”
Cheng Shi sneered after hearing this: "What a coincidence? Your child bumped into this?"
"I... everything I said is true."
Cheng Shi could naturally tell that he was not lying, but the question was whether this was too coincidental?
“The eldest prince of the empire is the same age as you?
Wouldn't that mean your emperor is over a hundred years old?
How come there really is a prince who has lived for decades?"
Old Galen's face froze, and he replied with a sad face: "I was born in the 64th year of the Rosner New Calendar, and I am only... 36 years old."
"......"
"......"
36......
Brother, forget about 36. In your condition, let alone 63, I would believe it if you said 93.
As expected of a believer of [Corruption], he looks very pious.
It's no wonder your emperor wants to run away. If all the young men in Rosner were like you, even if a war against foreign aggression was fought, it would just be a bunch of mentally ill people killing their way through a nursing home...
Cheng Shi's expression suddenly became strange, and he even looked at Old Galen with a hint of pity. Although this thought was hellish, he couldn't help but think: No wonder the emperor didn't take you with him when he escaped. Isn't being over 35 the age to be optimized?
I didn’t expect that this set of rules would also apply to the Island of Hope in the Age of Sinking.
Hearing this, Dayi could no longer hold his temper. He asked anxiously, "My God, where is the eldest prince's residence? Did he take the dagger with him when he left? If you know, lead the way quickly, and don't force me to slap you!"
"The eldest prince..."
"?"
What does this pause mean? Is there a turning point?
Again! ?
Cheng Shi was a little numb. He looked at Old Galen with a sudden scrutiny, and squinted his eyes slightly as if wondering if this historian was some unclear colleague.
Are you playing tricks on me here?
Oh no, I’m becoming suspicious. The more I look at him, the more similar he looks. So is he a colleague of [Fraud] or a colleague of [Fate]?
Cheng Shi's eyes narrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. However, he did not rush to take action. Instead, he glanced at the poison thoughtfully.
Although he had established a reputation of being cunning among Hu Wei, he did not want to overly demonstrate his caution and shrewdness, so he thought of using a tool.
The tool person in this game is undoubtedly the intelligence core Miss Poison.
The moment Du Yao saw Cheng Shi looking at her, she sensed his suspicion. As a catalyst of desire who "accepts everyone who comes", she understood what he meant and immediately took thoughtful action. She snatched Galen from Dayi's hand, and then tore off his clothes in the wind and snow, revealing the scars on his abdomen and back.
But the scars on this historian were different from those on the couple before. The scars on his body were crisscrossed, overlapping, hideous and terrifying, covering his entire body. It seemed that he had endured far more suffering than that couple.
Everyone frowned when they saw this. Only Cheng Shi seemed to think that there was some explanation for these scars. But before he could think about it, Dayi dragged him back and cursed:
"Damn it, Poison, you're not trying to snatch the person from me, are you?
I advise you to be honest and remember that the ram may be anywhere."
He grabbed Galen and asked again, "Tell me quickly, where is the eldest prince, and where is his dagger?"
Galen was freezing cold, and he said tremblingly:
“The eldest prince… was expelled from the palace by His Majesty.
As for his collections and contraband items, they were probably swept away by the guards a long time ago..."
