Senior Hatton was sitting on the side of the prison close to Lu Tao's cell, and for some reason, there was a table in front of him, and there was a roasted duck on the table, which was completely out of place with the atmosphere here.

"Come on, hungry, don't you, give you duck legs!"

Lu Tao involuntarily took the greasy duck leg from Hatton's hand, and asked rhetorically for some unknown reasons: "Hatton senior...... What the hell is going on?"

"What else can it be, thinking that our Alchemy Association came to help them, just say it, just take all of us to the dungeon, and I'm not afraid of tearing up the bones of a few of our old guys. Hey, I know that people are stupid, and Douglas is also stupid, saying that he thinks the Alchemy Association is an important place, and now it's not asking for trouble?" ”

Lu Tao: "......"

He listened to it for a long time and didn't understand what nonsense Hatton senior said, he really didn't want to eat the greasy duck leg in his hand, and he had breakfast before he arrived at the Alchemy Association, so he didn't mean to be hungry at all. But look left and right, in the narrow prison, there is no place to put this duck leg, the table and bed are also dirty, thinking that food should not be wasted, Lu Tao took a hard bite of the duck leg that looked a little greasy.

Huh, it tastes so good!

Lu Tao ate the duck leg in his hand, and the alchemists around him who were also locked up in prison did not have any superfluous performance, and naturally it was impossible to envy Lu Tao and Hatton's predecessors for having duck meat to eat.

"Senior Hatton, what does the Harias royal family want us to help with?" Although the duck leg was delicious, Lu Tao was still unwilling to know anything.

"Oh, you kid don't care so much! Anyway, this kind of thing is not once or twice, just go straight to rest after eating the duck leg in your hand, and talk about the rest of the things then, anyway, there are so many people up there, and we don't have to bear it." As he spoke, Senior Hatton stretched out his hand and yawned: "Okay, I'll go to bed first, don't disturb me." ”

As soon as Hatton's predecessor's voice fell, he directly stretched out a pair of greasy hands and wiped his clothes, and didn't care that the originally clean clothes were stained with a layer of oil, and went directly to the bed to sleep, and in less than ten seconds, Lu Tao heard a deafening snoring sound from the place where Hatton's predecessor was lying, but that area was covered by shadows, and Lu Tao couldn't see whether Hatton's predecessor was really sleeping or fake sleeping.

After looking at it, Lu Tao shook his head a little helplessly, what the hell is going on.

......

The prison cells in the palace were underground, so there was no light outside, and the only way to get time was through the food that came in from outside at noon and evening.

Lu Tao was lying on the bed in the prison, naturally it was impossible to fall asleep, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, during the day, the prison was always very quiet, and it didn't become lively again until after dinner, this excitement was naturally not that the alchemists who were locked up in the prison began to dance, but that someone outside finally came in and called the alchemists out for questioning, and when the Hatton seniors were called away, the video that came in took a lot of time to wake up the Hatton seniors who were sleeping soundly, and Lu Tao was not called out until the end, and I don't know if it was because he was not on the list of alchemists of the Alchemy Association

, or for some other reason.

After the Hatun seniors came back, they continued to fall asleep, so that Lu Tao wanted to ask him what was going on outside, and he didn't know where the Hatun seniors came from so many sleeps, as for the other alchemists who came back, Lu Tao was not familiar with them at all, and he was so far away from Lu Tao where Lu Tao was, so naturally there was no way to ask anything, but until the end, Lu Tao keenly noticed that it seemed that the alchemists who went out did not all come back here, no matter how you look at it, there are a few less, and I don't know where they went.

Lu Tao continued to lie on the bed a little bored, originally he thought that as long as he got to the palace, he would be able to get some information from the actions of Proyas's brother Prince Carlin, at least find out what was going on, but now it seems that this possibility does not exist at all, he seems to have been forgotten, no one cares at all, and naturally there is no way to get more information.

Fortunately, the food provided in the prison was okay, and it was not as vulgar as Lu Tao imagined, which can also show that the alchemist has a certain status in the eyes of the Harias royal family, and on the other hand, it can also show that Hargrove did not do anything, or did not have the opportunity to do anything at all?

In this way, after another two days, things finally took a turn for the better, not that Prince Carlin let everyone out, but that someone finally took Lu Tao out of prison.

Along some familiar corridors, Lu Tao was sandwiched by four soldiers in front of him, two in front of him, and walked all the way to a two-story building. Proias walked out of it, and when he saw Lu Tao appear in front of him, he didn't have any surprised expression, but beckoned to him: "You're here, let's go, let's go in and talk." ”

Lu Tao was confused, and at this time he could only follow behind Proas, and found that Proyas's chief of guard, Charlotte, didn't know where he went, and was it related to the incident that Lu Tao had seen Charlotte before? Naturally, now was not the time to ask, and Lu Tao could only keep silent. The four soldiers who had sent him to the building withdrew directly, leaving Lu Tao to follow Proas all the way to the second floor, only to find that Mickey and Princess Sophie were also there.

"Mitch, Princess Sophie, why are you here?!"

Mickey and Princess Sophie had constipated expressions on their faces, and when they heard Lu Tao's question, they seemed to be a little eager to say something, but in the end they still didn't say anything.

"Lu Tao, you sit down first, and when my brother arrives, we will discuss the next issues. ”

No matter how confused Lu Tao was, in the current situation, he could only sit on the chair next to him according to Proyas's instructions, and after sitting for a while and feeling bored, Lu Tao picked up the nuts on the table and knocked them open to eat, so only the sound of Lu Tao smashing the nuts was left in the silent room, which made the atmosphere a little stagnant.

"Ahem...... Don't eat, they're already at the door. ”

Proyas reminded Lu Tao, and then, the door to the second floor was opened, and Proyas's brother, Prince Karin, walked in with a few guards.

Prince Carlin saw Lu Tao when he entered the door, and looked at it with some confusion: "Huh, aren't you from the Alchemy Association, why did you come here?"

"He's also an important person in Princess Sophie's party, so I've called him here too, so let's get down to business. Proyas spoke politely this time, and it was not the same attitude at all as the last time Lu Tao met Prince Karin.

In the face of his brother's unceremonious words, Prince Carlin didn't say anything superfluous, just grinned

laughed, and then said: "It's very simple, Princess Sophie, we suspect that you didn't hand over the real crystal crown, so we can't find you again, in order to make up for the mistake made by my stupid brother." ”

Hearing his brother call himself a stupid brother, Proas didn't have any superfluous reaction, and his eyes didn't even change, but he still sat in his original position, looking at Princess Sophie.

"How can it be fake?" Princess Sophie looked up, as if she was also surprised to hear the news: "This is what it was when I got it from my mother, and then I kept it in the royal family's warehouse, it can't be fake!"

Prince Karin frowned: "Your Royal Highness Princess Sophie, if you can hand over the real crystal crown, I can also treat you well on behalf of the Harrias royal family, otherwise, according to the agreement between us and the Republic of Karl before, I will give you to our father and king, what do you think?"

"You!" Princess Sophie blushed, turned her head to look at Proas, and asked sharply, "Proas, how did you promise us in the first place, and why did this happen?

Proias shook his head, turned his head to his brother Prince Carlin and said: "I have seen the crystal crown given to me by Princess Sophie, and I also believe that there is no master of fraud in this world who is so skilled that he can create such a delicate and perfect crystal crown, according to rumors, the crystal crown of the Empire of Light is so unrepeatable and exquisite, so the crystal crown should not be fake, you should consider whether the method of using it is wrong." ”

"Alchemy Guild ......"

As soon as Prince Carlin said the words Alchemy Society, he was interrupted by Proas: "I suggest that you still don't put too much hope on those alchemists, they are already the second generation of alchemists, and the group that knew how to use the crystal crown before have all passed away, according to my understanding, those people have not passed down the method of how to use the crystal crown at all, nor have they left any written records, so those alchemists naturally will not know how to use the crystal crown." Isn't it because of this that you have arrested all the alchemists of the Alchemy Association, and you plan to see if you can pry open the mouths of some people who are unwilling to tell the truth?"

"What do you say, my stupid brother, our only clue is the Alchemy Society, and there is no other way to do it!"

"Hehe! I did learn one thing, I'm afraid brother, you haven't seen the books in the Alchemy Association library at all, the crystal crown was first excavated, there was some kind of energy, my suspicion is also very simple, if you can't fill the crystal crown with energy, it won't work. ”

Hearing Proyas's words, Lu Tao also remembered, he said why this crystal crown did not cause a change in gravity as said in the notes before, if the change in gravity is regarded as some kind of energy, it makes sense from beginning to end, as for what happened this time, Lu Tao seems to have figured it out, and it is really the same situation he expected before, these royal families belonging to Harias began to be restless again, as if they wanted to repeat the previous experiment of the Empire of Light, and open a spatial passage to other places, according to the possibility, what they most likely opened was another passage to the demon's homeland, At that time, it will probably be equivalent to reopening the door to the demon world, so that if you attack one after the other, I am afraid that this world will not last long, and it will completely fall into the palm of the demon's hand.
