Fox successfully delivered the task, even ordinary tasks had to be strictly reviewed, and the reward would not be paid until the second rally, not to mention the special tasks that Fox had completed.

When he found that the person wearing the clown mask in front of him turned out to be the one who successfully assassinated Corgi Rosen, the head of the connection also showed a little surprise, although he heard that the person who completed the mission had not shown up, but he didn't expect the other party to run to Arthur City.

However, where the other party wants to go is his own freedom, and it has nothing to do with him, he just said lightly and routinely: "After the task is reviewed and confirmed, the reward of 100,000 thalers will be distributed next time, and the magic energy equipment can be selected next time, but the distribution of the magic energy equipment may be postponed later." ”

Nexus nodded slightly, indicating understanding, and a disguised hoarse voice came from under the mask: "Yes, as soon as possible." ”

·········

In the bustling room, the eldest prince Sean closed his eyes tightly, as if he was thinking.

"Your Highness, the inheritance ceremony will begin in a few days, and you should have prepared early. ”

Beside the eldest prince, a young man with a delicate appearance and a smile on the corner of his mouth bowed down and said, although he was very respectful on the surface, but in fact his tone was quite careless.

If other people treated a great prince with such an attitude, I am afraid that they would have been dragged out and killed a long time ago.

But the eldest prince was not angry at all, as if he was used to it, opened his eyes, and then sat down at the table, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.

"Candit, is there any movement for my brother?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, we are well aware of all the arrangements made by the other party, and the day the second prince makes a move, that is, when he dies. Candit said lightly.

"That's fine. Sean nodded lightly: "It's a pity, if he hadn't done these little moves, I could have guaranteed him a prosperous life." ”

"His Royal Highness is merciful, but that is the second prince's own choice, and the consequences will naturally be borne by him. ”

"Do we still need to say such polite words between us?" Sean smiled and said, "Sit down, aren't you tired of standing all the time." ”

Candit bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Then he didn't say anything more politely and sat down directly.

A hint of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and Sean said suddenly.

"You've been following me for years, Kadeit. ”

"Nine years. ”

"Ever since I was a child, no one thought I could inherit the throne, and all eyes were on my younger brother.

But you are the only one who still chooses to follow me in this situation, in fact, even I didn't think that I would really have this day. Sean's tone was a little emotional, and his mood fluctuated a little.

"Canditer, do a good job, when I ascend to the throne, you will be above ten thousand people under one person!"

Sean's emotions gradually calmed down, and he looked outside, as if he had passed through countless buildings, and saw the throne that symbolized power and power.

"Tonight's banquet is ready, remember to invite the Duke of Hyperpoton and the Duke of Birkennor, you still have to prepare a few more layers of insurance, my brother is not so easy to deal with." ”

Soon, the seat belonged to him.

Now it's just a matter of being patient.

········

Saint-Sonne Pavilion, 4th floor.

The dense bookshelves fill the huge space, and the materials and books in it are huge, and of course, those top-secret materials are naturally impossible to put here in a grand manner.

In front of a row of bookshelves, Fox was holding a history book in his hand, and his brow furrowed as he flipped through it.

"That's weird········"

After looking through many history books, he found that all the books contained only a few words about the Barbarian King.

It's as if that history has been erased by life.

And the only one who can do this is naturally the royal family of the Sky Wolf Empire.

But why would they do it?

In the current records, only he rose quickly, unified the grassland tribes, challenged the Akatsuki Lord, and then quickly fell, and the legendary king who inherited the power of the other party established the current Sky Wolf Empire.

"Master, I didn't find what you were looking for. ”

Bertha ran over from the side and leaned over to Kerx.

"Good work. ”

Nexus nodded, letting out a long breath.

Not only that, but he always felt something incongruous when he looked at the history of the Sky Wolf Empire for more than two thousand years since its establishment.

He didn't think that he was the only one who discovered these problems, and even if the commoners wouldn't care about and pay attention to them, wouldn't anyone be aware of the big nobles who held the power?

"Either no one dares to question it, or everyone knows it, but tacitly avoids it. ”

Nexus felt a bit of a headache.

It's not that he's really that fond of seeking the truth, but judging by the signs so far, it seems that these things have some connection with him.

Kers guessed that it might have something to do with the palace, but if he wanted to get the news from Ariskode, he basically didn't think about it, so he had to find out for himself.

"Perhaps, I can't touch that level of secrecy, but someone can, say, the future ruler of this country. ”

With a slight movement in his heart, Fox put the book back in his hand, not intending to do any more useless work.

"Let's go. ”

He tugged at the brim of his hat and beckoned Bertha to leave.

But he didn't know that at this time, just above his head, the top of the Saint-Sonne Pavilion, the twelfth floor, which was never open to the outside world, suddenly opened up.

Zachary, dressed in an ornate robe, stepped inside.

If Sean saw this scene, he would be very surprised, at this time, the other party should not be busy planning against himself, but he came here.

Zachary paced slowly, looking very leisurely.

The twelfth floor, which has never been open to the public, is extremely empty, unlike other floors, full of exhibits and collectibles.

Only at the end, there seems to be something.

Zachary went to the deepest part of the twelfth floor and saw the thing.

It was a huge statue.

That's a person.

A man.

He was dressed in black, his figure did not look very strong, and his appearance could only be said to be unremarkable, but from that deep look, he could feel the contempt and disdain for everything, as if everything else in the world except him was insignificant dust and ants.

The statue seems to have not been repaired in too long, and it is covered with a thick layer of dust.

"The gods of the past have been reduced to this point, and only a dilapidated statue remains, discarded in a corner, and no one cares about it. ”

Zachary stared into the other's eyes.

Next to the statue is a huge stone tablet with many characters written on it, and they are all in ancient script.

Carefully browsing the stele, the contents of the stele seemed to remind him of something.

"There is an end to everything, your time has passed, sleep in the grave of history. ”

Zachary said lightly.
