Chapter 271: Infiltrating the Flower Palace

"There will be a disaster here soon, what does that mean......" Xiu quickly began to walk towards the outskirts of Culokas, the same direction he had been following the woman a few hours earlier.

It was possible that he had gone much later by now, but if it was really as he thought, the woman had not left Kulokas, then he should have waited somewhere, and as long as the woman's position was within the range of his ability to clearly distinguish the magic, then he could be sure that the woman was there, and he could ask the reason for the woman's hesitation in the first place.

…………

Early in the morning of the fifth of July, Xiu returned to Fairy Tail's inn a little tired, and by this time some people had already gotten up.

Although this body is a thinking body and will not be tired, but connected to his own proprioceptive consciousness, looking for a night and not finding the woman's figure is the reason why Xiu's heart is a little tired.

"How's it going?" asked Elusa as she saw Xiu walking around the inn.

"It's fair to say that there's nothing to be gained at the moment," Xiu said with a sigh, then slumped heavily on the bed and closed his eyes, intending to take a slight rest.

The room is still the room when Fairy Tail A was in the team, at this time except for Lucy, the rest of the people are here, of course, the only people who are awake are Elusa and Wendy Xia Lulu, Wendy suddenly fainted last night and was already the same as no one after a sleep, so Xia Lulu They were a little speechless, as for the other two men were still asleep,

"You haven't rested for a day and a night, you're really working hard," Xia Lulu said, remembering that when she was in Adras, wasn't her cultivation the same as it is now.

"I'll help Brother Ashu recover some strength," Wendy said, putting her hand on Xiu's arm as she spoke, but was about to enter the mana when she was blocked by Xiu's hand.

"No need, Wendy, I'm just a little tired from a night's sleep, just rest for a while......" Xiu said.

Wendy looked at Xiu with some confusion and nodded slowly after hearing Xiu say this.

"By the way, Elusa, I want you to find Gerald......" Xiu thought of something and looked at Elusa and said.

"Looking for Gerald?" Elusa looked at Xiu with some confusion.

"Well, I think Gerald may already know something very secret, and if you go to him now, I think Gerald will tell you......" Xiu said as he looked at Elusa.

"It's a very secret thing, doesn't it mean that nothing has been found?" said Elusa, puzzled.

"It's true that nothing...... Xiu closed his eyes again and said, "but it made me find some things that puzzle me, these are the things that I think Gerald, the magic who has been tracking down the Eclipse Gate, should have discovered something, and these are the things I want to make sure about something......" Xiu said with his eyes closed.

"What's that?" Xia Lulu asked.

"All the ripple effects of the Eclipse Project, including the past, present, and future......" Xiu continued to say with his eyes closed.

"What do you mean?" Elusa wondered even more.

"Actually, I met a woman last night, this woman took the magic of the eclipse with her, and this woman looks almost exactly like one of us, so I suspect that person came here through the Eclipse Gate......" Xiu opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"Who?" said Elusa Wendy and Xia Lulu, both staring at Xiu, looking exactly the same, no matter what, it was an amazing thing.

"Lucy......" Xiu said slowly.

"Eh......," Elusa and the others were surprised.

"How could it be Lucy?" said Xia Lulu in surprise.

"I don't know if that woman is Lucy, but what is certain is that the woman definitely doesn't know me, and I don't know if I know you all, what makes me care is that this happened when Lucy was arrested, which shows that she can't be Lucy anymore, and she cares more about what she actually wants me to leave Kulocas, saying that there will be a disaster here soon, so ......"

"Elusa, this requires you to go to Gerald, you should have rested and gone to the game tomorrow, but I have to investigate the internal members of the Fiore royal family later, and I can't separate myself, so I can only trouble you" Xiu looked at Elusa and said.

"I see, if there is a person who looks exactly like Lucy, you should really check it, Ah Xiu, you should also take a good rest, after all, the human body is not an object" Elusa looked at Xiu and said, and began to walk outside.

Wendy and Xia Lulu also followed Elusa after seeing Elusa leave, but Wendy's expression was a little confused.

After walking out of the room, Elusa saw Wendy's puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is it because there is another Lucy?"

"Sister Elusa, I don't know what to say," Wendy said after thinking about it, looking at Elusa.

"What?" Elusa wondered.

"Actually, when I wanted to help Brother Ashu recover his strength, Brother Ashu refused, and when Sister Elusa said that the human body is not an object, I realized that something was wrong," Wendy said.

Elusa stopped in her footsteps and looked at Wendy as she continued.

"At that time, I had already used the healing magic to restore my strength on Brother Ashu, but at that time, I felt that the healing magic had no effect on Brother Ashu at all, but Ashu refused ......me," Wendy said.

"You mean?" said Elusa, frowning.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, just because it was a little weird, and I could see and feel the smell, but healing magic was like rescuing a lifeless object," Wendy said slowly.

"Well, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that...... It's magic," Elusa said, walking up again.

"Yes" Seeing that Elusa didn't care about this, Wendy had to let go of the question, but no one noticed the flash of confusion under Xia Lulu's normal expression.

"The white knight, the singing Lucy, the broken castle...... Foreboding...... A woman who looks exactly like Lucy, is there any connection between this......" Xia Lulu kept thinking about this sentence in her heart.

So far, Xia Lulu still hasn't told everyone what she had a hunch about it, I don't know if it's because I'm afraid or not......

…………

Elusa set off to find Gerald, and soon after, Natsu and Gray, who were asleep, also got up, and after the two got up, Xiu also opened his eyes and sat up, how could he sleep in his thoughts, and Xiu, who fell on the bed, only closed his eyes slightly for a short while, so as to relieve the fatigue in his heart.

After saying hello to Nazgray, Xiu also set off again, and the lack of an investigation into the interior of the Fiore Kingdom last night was not only because of the suspicious discovery of the mysterious woman, but also because there was no detailed investigation of the royal family of the Fiore Kingdom at night, and the reason is also very simple, except for people like him, can outsiders live a normal life without sleeping.

Originally, Natsu was also excited to go with him when he heard that Ah Xiu was going to investigate the internal situation of the royal family of the Fiore Kingdom, but he was rejected by Xiu, the reason is very simple, Natsu can't use the nature of his mind body to make his body invisible like him, and he played a small trick in front of Natsu and Gray, making the two mistakenly think that they would be able to stealth magic, which directly made Natsu depressed.

……

Culokas Flower Palace

After turning his thinking body into intangible, Xiu easily walked into the flower palace under the vision of the guards.

Unlike the dark and empty palace at night, the flower palace during the day is more popular, with some guards walking around, and some court maids passing in front of Xiu from time to time.

It didn't take long for Xiu to gradually get closer to the depths of the Flower Palace, and at this time, Xiu also saw several palace maids walking in one direction with some food, and Xiu didn't think much about following directly, because the direction that allowed these maids to go with food should be where the Fiore royal family is located, and now it seems that it should be the time for the Fiore royal family to have breakfast.

Following these maids, Xiu gradually found that this road was the way to the top of the Flower Palace, and the surrounding architectural style was gradually close to the style of luxury homes, which was where the royal family usually lived, which also made Xiu more sure that he was a member of the royal family.

It didn't take long for the maid to start walking towards a room, and Xiu leaned against the gate to look inside, and found that it was not the room where he thought the royal family dined, but was decorated all around like a girl's room.

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... The breakfast you want is already on the table" The voice of a maid in the room sounded, because Xiu was leaning against the door, and the maid's voice was changing again, so Xiu couldn't see the situation inside.

"Got it...... After putting it down, you can go out for the time being......" At this time, Xiu also heard a girl's voice.

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess......" Then Xiu heard some footsteps coming towards him, and Xiu immediately stepped back to make way for the departing maids.

With the departure of these maids, the door was also covered, Xiu looked at the hidden door and frowned slightly, he didn't plan to break into the girl's boudoir casually, and this is still a princess of the kingdom, just because he didn't know why breakfast was sent to the boudoir instead of a place for the royal family to eat, he didn't think that Fiore's royal family would not have this place.

"Confinement? or is it something else?" Xiu said secretly, turning his head to look at the rest of the surroundings, if he guessed correctly, the king's bedroom should not be far from here, and then left the boudoir door of the princess of the Fiore Kingdom and walked in this other direction.

It didn't take long for Xiu to find King Fiore's bedroom, but to Xiu's surprise, King Fiore was not in the bedroom.

Xiu looked at the king's bedroom and walked around casually, there is absolutely no secret room in this bedroom, just by the room at the top of the flower palace, how big is the top of the flower palace, then how big is this bedroom.

Just looked at the bed under the bed covered by the sheets with curiosity, because most people will hide some of their secrets under the bed to repair it, so they didn't find any secrets, but this look really made him discover something.

"What is this" Xiu took out the things under the king's bed and looked at it, and found that it was a pumpkin referee hood that was taken out at the Domus Arena, but this hood was more realistic and very new.

"How can there be such a thing under this king's bed?" Xiu looked at the pumpkin hood in his hand in confusion, looked around again, except for this pumpkin hood, Xiu didn't find anything abnormal, returned the pumpkin hood to its original place to prevent the king from finding out that someone had moved, and then left the king's bedroom.

"It seems that we still need to start with the princess for the time being," Xiu said to himself, and then returned to the door of the princess Fiore's boudoir the same way again.

It seemed that Xiu had arrived at the right time, and several maids were walking out of the door with a girl in a white dress with long emerald hair.

From that angle, it was easy to tell that the girl was the princess of the Fiore royal family, and even if she was clumsy and had a red crown on her jade-colored hair, she could recognize that she was not ordinary.

Her Royal Highness seemed to be planning to go somewhere, and Xiu also found an opportunity to follow Her Royal Highness the princess to see if he could find anything, and it was best to meet the king, as long as he saw the king, he would definitely have a harvest.

However, after Xiu had just caught up with Her Royal Highness the princess, the princess seemed to notice something, turned her head to look at where Xiu was standing, and seemed to see that there was nothing again, and the princess's brows furrowed slightly, and then began to walk forward again.

Xiu saw this scene and immediately moved away a little, although his body was invisible, but he still existed, just when he was closer, this princess seemed to notice something abnormal, but he was still deceived by his own eyes.

In the end, Xiu still followed the princess to a large hall without danger, where Xiu saw the person he was looking for, the king of Fiore, and a short old man in his fifties was sitting on a throne in the innermost part of the hall, and it was obvious that this old man was the king of Fiore.

When the king saw the princess coming, he immediately jumped off the throne and walked to the princess: "You have finally come, my dear daughter......"

"Is there anything my father is looking for Emerald?" said the princess, looking at the king who was coming towards her.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the Great Demon Fight," the king said to the princess.

"Do you know, my father is going to the game?" asked the princess.

"Hmm...... I heard you don't want to watch?" said the king, after thinking for a moment, looking at the princess with a hesitant tone.

"Well, Jade doesn't want to see ......," the princess responded.

"That's wonderful......" said the king to himself in a very faint voice, hearing his daughter's reply, but because the hall was large and a little empty, the king's self-talk reached the princess's ears vaguely.

"What are you talking about, Father?" wondered the princess.

It seemed that the princess asked the king so startled, "Ah, nothing, I mean it's a pity, tomorrow's game is the most exciting ever, it's a pity you don't go to see it"

"I'm so sorry, I can't watch with you......" the princess apologized.

"It's all right, by the way, when I'm watching the game tomorrow, I hope no one will disturb me, as long as it doesn't fall from the sky......," said the king.

"Well, then I wish my father a good tomorrow...... I'll go first," said the princess.

"Well......" The king nodded in response, and the princess turned around and walked out of the main hall, and soon the king and an invisible cultivator were left in the whole hall.

After the princess left completely, the king jumped excitedly under Xiu's surprised gaze, "This is really good, Jade doesn't go, then I can do it boldly with confidence......"

"No, even if Jade comes, I don't have anything to worry about, it's just ......" The king's tone was stunned for a moment, "It's best if no one bothers me......"

"Pumpkin ......," said the king, who jumped up and shouted excitedly.

Xiu, who was looking at this scene, directly had a black line on his forehead, "Is this really the king of a country......" Xiu couldn't help but think in his heart.

"What do you mean by that pumpkin, why does it sound so familiar......" Xiu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
