Chapter 223 Three gambling games
Before I knew it, the silver palace had arrived.
Alice looked at a bustling --- sea of yellow sand under the flying carpet, and suddenly it stopped, and a huge city appeared. It is the largest city in O'Neill - Dunlun City, the palace of the King of the Lemuel Clan, one of the dark tribes of the Protoss, and the palace of Grand Duke Reeves, one of the seven princes of the Heavenly Council--- the location of the Silver Palace.
Among the buildings one after another, the majestic and magnificent Silver Palace is the most eye-catching.
Like the palaces where other Grand Dukes of the Protoss lived, the Silver Palace is not the name of a palace, but refers to a group of palaces. However, the Silver Palace is not silver, but a black palace complex. Unlike other palaces built by the Protoss using crystal stone, the Silver Palace is not built of crystal stone, but is made of silver rock that is as hard as iron.
Silver rock is not a silver rock, but black, but the black rock is mixed with a little silver ore crystal, which makes the rock look silvery, hence the name silver rock. Silver rock is as hard as iron, and in heaven, silver rock is much more valuable than crystal.
Dun Lun is not only a city in the desert, but also a seaside city.
The vast Rahaza Desert meets the sea of light and darkness here.
This area of the sea, which is part of the O'Neill Sea, is called the Rhine Sea. Dunlun is a city built between the Lahasa Desert and the Rhine Sea, and it is also the core city of the most prosperous city-state in O'Neill and the city-state of Dunlun.
At the concurrent of the Rhine Sea and the Lahasa Desert, there is a U-shaped harbor known as the Rhine Seaport.
The Silver Palace was built right at the top of the Rhine harbor. The entire Rhine port became the exclusive port of the Silver Palace.
The entire Silver Palace is actually a huge castle surrounded by high walls. These walls were not built to defend against attacks, but because of their proximity to the Rhine harbor, to prevent the high tide from flooding the palace.
On the pale yellow sand of Rhine Harbor is a stone staircase made of silver rock. Each stone staircase is long and wide, long enough to accommodate a thousand people advancing at the same time, and spacious enough for a person to lie upright on the stone staircase, there is still room for it. At low tide, the staircase is fully revealed, and at high tide, the sea submerges nearly half of the staircase.
Walk up the long stone staircase to the magnificent gates of the Silver Palace. Behind the palace gate is a wide silver rock square. Silver Rock Square is connected to the tall city wall, but the city wall on the edge of the square only shows about half a person's height. Therefore, the square has an excellent view of the Rhine Sea.
The flying carpet landed smoothly in the square.
Grand Duke Erica stood up and said, "Today's dinner is on the Rhine Sea." ”
"Wherever you like, you can be." Archduke Reeves laughed, and he replied to Archduke Erica before saying to Alice: "Dinner on the Rhine Sea, in the middle of a blue sea, is very beautiful. What does the Holy Messenger think? ”
"It must be beautiful." Alice smiled and said softly, "It's just that I'm a little tired from flying on the carpet for too long today." For dinner, I'll eat at random in the palace. The Grand Dukes have dinner on the Rhine Sea. ”
Grand Duke Reeves was stunned, Alice had never objected to his arrangement these days, and this was the first time Alice had politely rejected his arrangement.
Grand Duke Litus said gently: "Then I will accompany the Holy Messenger to the palace for dinner." ”
"Where the Holy Messenger is, Quirrell will be there." Archduke Quirrell said in a low voice, but his second sentence was to Marquis Marie: "Mary accompanied Archduke Erica and Archduke Reeves to dinner on the Rhine Sea." ”
Now Grand Duke Reeves is a little embarrassed. He didn't want Erica to be displeased, but he didn't want Alice to be displeased, but he didn't know how to speak.
A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Alice's mouth, and she said, "I learned to make Black Forest cakes in the past few days, and I'll make a few Black Forest cakes tonight." ”
"The Holy Messenger personally made the Black Forest cake, how can it only be enjoyed by the Grand Duke of Litus?" Grand Duke Erica walked up to Alice, stopped, and chuckled, "Please make a few more Black Forest cakes for the Holy Emissary, so that we can enjoy them on the Rhine Sea." ”
"Grand Duke Litus loves Black Forest cakes, but I heard that Grand Duke Ivan loves green tea cakes." Grand Duke Erica took a few steps forward, stopped and turned around, "I wonder if Wen Ying made green tea cakes for Grand Duke Ivan in Castle Black." With that, only a string of silver bells of laughter remained.

Although Tun Lun is a seaside city built on the desert, it is full of greenery under the light of spring.
In the silver palace, the palaces are dotted with lush plants, and the palace with black and silver light is even more beautiful and magnificent.
In the garden in front of the palace where the Grand Duke of Litus was located, there were actually more than a dozen violet trees. The trunk of the tree is thick, and the dense branches of clusters of purple flowers are blooming, and one by one droops, and a violet tree is like a purple flower waterfall, light purple and deep purple, which is beautiful.
Presumably, it is also because of these violanders that Archduke Reeves specially arranged this palace for Archduke Litus to use.
Grand Duke Litters sits cross-legged and meditates under a violet tree. His divine sense, at extreme speed, flew through the sea of light and darkness in front of the Silver Palace and flew towards the Black Castle in the continent of Emeriken.
In addition to the divine enchantment that was originally laid around the black castle, Grand Duke Ivan specially laid the colorful dragon balls around the black castle, and then cast a powerful divine spell, so that the magic of the colorful dragon balls was greatly enhanced, acting on the divine enchantment, completely isolating the movement in the black castle from the outside world. Even the Grand Duke of Litus is difficult to spy on the movements inside the Black Castle without the knowledge of the Grand Duke Ivan.
The reason why Grand Duke Ivan did this was very simple: he just didn't want Grand Duke Litus to know Wen Ying's information. In the heart of Grand Duke Ivan, if the Grand Duke of Litus sensed Wen Ying's rejection of him, or let the Grand Duke of Litus use the Thousand Miles Hearing Technique and heard Wen Ying's words of rejection--- then he would lose face. But this is only one of the reasons, there is a more important reason: only by completely isolating Castle Black from the outside world can Wen Ying not be able to communicate with Grand Duke Litus, otherwise, Wen Ying only needs to gently call the name of Grand Duke Littles, and Grand Duke Litus may hear it.
In order to prevent Grand Duke Litus from knowing about Wen Ying's situation, returning to Castle Black from Powder Sand Island, Grand Duke Ivan even cast a spell on the slaves and attendants of Castle Black, and once they left Castle Black, they would immediately forget everything they had seen and heard about Wen Ying in Castle Black. This makes Wen Ying's whereabouts mysterious, and it also makes a gamble in heaven interesting.
The people of the Protoss have existed for too long, and they are too powerful, so that in the light age of the peaceful and prosperous era, gambling has become one of the favorite games of the people of the Protoss. In addition to gambling money, the content of the gambling game is even more varied.
At the feast of the Hundred Flowers Festival on Daphne Island, Archduke Litus postponed his wedding to Marquis Luquesia until sixteen years later, and the kingdom of heaven soon began a gambling game--- sixteen years later, will Grand Duke Litus marry Marquis Luquecia?
And a key figure in this gamble is Wen Ying. On Wen Ying, there are also two gambling games: one bet is, sixteen years later, will Grand Duke Litus take Wen Ying back from Grand Duke Ivan? Another gambling **** game is: How long will Grand Duke Ivan get tired of Wen Ying?
These three gambling games made Wen Ying a talking point when the people of the Protoss were chattering. However, Grand Duke Ivan's actions made the outside world gradually less news about Wen Ying, which made the gambling more and more interesting.
