Chapter 9: Secrecy (2)

King Fiat and Elder Elderhus, as well as many members of the royal family, were unaware of the unusual thing that happened in the sisters' laboratory, and they were still admiring the Cosmic Stone.

For scientific and technological civilization, enhancing one's own scientific and technological level is the primary goal, followed by the development of the body. Scientific and technological civilization generally adopts some means that are unacceptable to ordinary people to enhance people's bodies, so that only some extreme people and the military will use them, resulting in the general weakness of people in scientific and technological civilization.

The moment the golden obelisk appeared, it released enough energy to cover the entire palace. This kind of energy is very sensitive to those who cultivate themselves, but the detection instruments of scientific and technological civilization are relatively dull.

An hour before the golden obelisk appeared, one of the very inconspicuous three-story buildings of the royal palace. It was the command and guard center of the Praetorian Guard, which was responsible for guarding the entire palace.

It was very quiet as usual, and the staff were leisurely drinking delicious drinks, eating delicious food, and watching the news and movies without anything to do.

This is the imperial capital of the Tornod Empire, and the most powerful fleet of the Empire is stationed in the system. It is almost impossible to break through the outer defenses and attack the planet. Unless the empire is attacked by the rest of the twelfth-level civilizations, if it wants to attack the planet, there will be very few troops left at that time. Because Zhilu said that he would not be attacked here, so this made the Praetorian guards guarding the palace very leisurely. They don't think the time will come when they need them, and it doesn't matter if they can have fun to their heart's content.

The monitoring room on the second floor of the building, which monitors every corner of the palace 24 hours a day, does not include places involving the privacy of members of the royal family.

The standard staff here should be eight, but there are only two people here. Because the palace covers a very large area, even if it has a very advanced intelligent system, it still needs a minimum configuration of eight people to deal with some situations where the intelligent system cannot distinguish and others.

Since the empire had not been at war for a thousand years, it had become a place where the children of the nobility mixed their seniority. Of all the people here, the nobility made up more than three-quarters of the place. The children of the aristocracy who come here are generally some gentlemen who only know how to eat and be lazy, so they usually see their figures.

Today, as usual, only two of the eight civilian children remained here. Both of them were used to it, and it was nice to see the nobles three or four days a month.

The two of them have been serving here for a year and three months, and although it is not strictly controlled and the work is not very busy, it is just too boring. Every day, in addition to checking the facilities in columns, it is to look at these cookie-cutter surveillance images. Occasionally, when they are tired, they will sleep for a while, or watch some news reports and some more exciting films, and there is no other activity during the day.

Everton, who was sitting on a chair and staring at the surveillance image in front of him without focus, collected his eyes and said to his companion on the other side with the same expression: "Duncan, it seems that today is going to be boring all day." Hey, it's so boring, let's talk about some topics to pass the time. ”

Recovering from his sluggish state, Duncan replied weakly: "Everton, it's been a year and three months, and every day has been spent like this, and now there are still good topics to talk about to pass the boring time." ”

"Uh, yes." Everton thought about it, as Duncan said, there really wasn't much good topic to talk about to pass the boring time. "Duncan, then I'm going to ask you. What else can we do? ”

Duncan thought for a moment, then replied, "Why don't we watch the film played by Annie Rocca Scallet again, I think I've seen the best one so far." ”

"What? I'm still watching that one. "Everton immediately made a look of disgust when they heard Duncan say that he had bought the one he bought three months ago." I said you, Duncan. I've long since seen the smell of Anneroca Scarlet's film. Everton recalled, a lewd look on his lips. Although her performance is really good, especially her figure and voice are really horny. But if you watch it too many times, everyone will get bored. Duncan, why don't you buy one of Annie Rocca's latest masterpieces next time? ”

Everton showed a helpless expression and flattered Duncan: "Isn't there still fourteen days before the salary is paid, I have been short of money recently, so you can buy it again." Otherwise, how about I buy more than once a month from next month. ”

"You said this last month, but what about the result." Duncan doesn't trust Everton anymore, and every time he assures him, he always cheats on one of the two. "You're tight on money, it's not because you spent all the money on the belly of the person in Xiangyue Building."

Everton was told by Duncan about the reason why he had no money, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Aren't I just a little, and it's not a big deal." Besides, most men in the world are lustful, but to varying degrees. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Duncan didn't bother to bother with Everton, always having a reason to defend himself. "Everton, even if you're right, you can't mess around like this. The body is the foundation of everything, but pay more attention to it, this is my advice to you as your colleague. ”

"Alright, you win." Everton replied to Duncan with a sigh. "If you don't want to buy it, just say it, and you don't have to buy it."

"You." Duncan really can't stand Everton, this person is really a headache. If there were nine months left to rotate every two years, it would be better to have a hope in my heart than to have nothing at all. "I really can't say it, if you want me to buy it, don't think about it. Since you don't have any money, let's do what we should do or what we should do. ”

Everton grimaced, his expression very complicated. "Duncan, you're not funny. Anyway, you've been a colleague for a year and three months, can't you just be with me once? ”

"I'm going to be you, what a joke." Duncan suddenly became angry, "You have deceived me again and again, and I will never fall for you today." ”

"I ......," Everton wanted to say more. But then the alarm suddenly sounded, and the red siren light went on.

Usually, the alarm system will be activated once only during routine inspections in order to test it. However, it has only been ten days since the last inspection, and the next inspection will be more than two months, which can scare the two of them half to death.

Faced with the red warning lights that suddenly lit up, both of them were a little overwhelmed. Duncan was calmer and began to check what was wrong.

After a very detailed examination, Duncan quickly discovered the problem. It turned out that just a moment ago, the alert system detected an abnormal ultra-high energy reaction in the palace, so the alarm program was suddenly activated.

Duncan, who understood it, immediately relaxed his tense body. Looking back, I saw that Everton was still the same as before, and I looked extremely overwhelmed, and I didn't understand what was going on.

"Everton, follow the emergency procedures and contact General Frick." Duncan yelled at Everton: "It's such a big thing, we have to strictly follow standard procedures. ”

"Oh...... What the? "Everton hadn't reacted yet, they hadn't heard it clearly. It wasn't until Duncan said it out loud again that he reacted. "Oh, understood. Let's report it. ”

In the short time that the two of them were overwhelmed and took action, the entire building was completely disorganized. Most of them are like the two of them, after all, this situation has not been encountered in a long time, so they all seem to be at a loss. I don't know what I should do and what I shouldn't do.

There were only a few people who didn't appear to be panicking, and General Frek was one of them. He was the commander of the Third Army of the Praetorian Guard, which was responsible for guarding the palace, and belonged to the Marine Army, half a rank lower than the rank of the fleet. Today, I was going to leave to see my little grandson, who was just a month old, but just as I was about to step out of the door, the alarm suddenly sounded. This scared him so much that he almost fell. Fortunately, no one had entered the door at this time, otherwise it would have been too big.

After a brief pause, General Frick reacted immediately. So he immediately walked back to the official office, and called to the communicator on his desk: "Monitoring room, what's going on, answer me quickly." ”

In the surveillance room, the two men who were about to report to Fryk heard General Fryk's questioning voice coming from the communicator. The two looked at each other and immediately decided that Duncan should answer. "General Freck, here's the situation. The detection system has detected an anomalous ultra-high energy reaction in the palace, but it is impossible to determine the location due to the short time it has been present. ”

"What?" As soon as Frick heard that there was an abnormal energy reaction, this was terrible, and he hurriedly asked again: "How can there be an abnormal ultra-high energy reaction, could it be that the princess and they have made something happen again." ”

"General Fryke, you can rule out the possibility of a princess." Duncan thought about it at first, but eventually denied it. "This energy response is very powerful, it can't be made by the princess."

"Oh, that's going to be the case." Fryk couldn't figure it out, this was the Imperial Palace, and this couldn't be the case. "Then you wait and give me a detailed report, and I will report it to His Majesty the King."

"Yes, General Frick. I'll start preparing right away and I'll send it to you later. Duncan immediately took the order.

"Okay, then hurry up." Furyk frowned and thought about it at this time, but he still had no clue, and could only wait for a more detailed report to come out, so that he could know what was going on.
