Volume 1: The First Phantom Chapter 45: The Empress of the Water
"I ...... I'm going to it, I won't really see the hell in broad daylight! Seeing such a big living person suddenly disappear in front of him, Situ Fengya suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and it was hard to say whether it was a living person or not, and he let Situ Fengya see what those 'phantoms' were for, and what was the matter with the immortal person in his mouth. Coupled with the few statues he had seen in Lingshui Academy before, Situ Fengya had encountered a lot of bizarre things in the past few days, if it wasn't his bad luck, or there was really an unscrupulous programmer doing him.
"What's that...... Messy ...... "But for Situ Fengya himself, he doesn't believe in immortality or anything at all, at least with the current level of human science and technology, he can't do this, and even if he does, it will be a pain for ordinary people." Imagine that if there is an immortal person, but his relatives and friends around him cannot live forever, he can only watch him die for various reasons, but he can't do anything, although he can make new friends, but this painful process keeps repeating, this is definitely a pain for the immortal person, but if he can live forever with his relatives and friends, it is another story.
"Forget it, I don't want to do so much, let's hurry up and go to the palace." Situ Fengya has been walking around the imperial city for a long time, and he has inexplicably experienced an experience of others, and it is time to go to the palace to find out. At this time, his location was not far from the palace, and it didn't take long for Situ Fengya to come to the gate of the palace.
Standing in front of the door of the palace, Situ Fengya had an indescribable feeling, the palace in front of him was indeed a fight with the Forbidden City in the real world, the same style, the same majestic, but it revealed a decaying atmosphere, like a crumbling and dangerous building, Situ Fengya felt a little strange, I don't know why I feel this way.
After tidying up his image a little, Situ Fengya walked to the gate of the palace, and the two guards standing on both sides of the gate crossed the spears in their hands and blocked Situ Fengya's way, and then one of the guards shouted at Situ Fengya: "I'm sorry!" This is a forbidden place in the Imperial Palace, so please do not enter the palace! ”
The palace is not uncommon in Huaxia's online games, but without exception, the palace exists as the most mysterious area in the game, and it is difficult for ordinary players to have the opportunity to enter the palace, after all, most of the game backgrounds of Huaxia online games are similar to the ancient times of China, when the palace was the place where the emperor lived, and it was not like now, you can enter and visit casually by buying tickets.
"This little brother, I was recommended by the dean of Lingshui Academy, oh yes! I still have this! Situ Fengya took out the token he had obtained from the captain of the guard and handed it to one of the guards.
After the guard took the token, he first confirmed the authenticity of the token, and then looked Situ Fengya up and down, and said, "Please wait here first, and I will go to Qiqi Her Majesty." ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble." Although Situ Fengya felt a little troublesome, after all, this was someone else's territory, and he still had to act according to other people's rules.
After about a quarter of an hour, the guard ran back again, and when he saw Situ Fengya, he first saluted Situ Fengya, and then made a gesture of invitation to him, saying, "This guest, Her Majesty the Empress is invited." ”
"Okay."
"This way, please!"
After entering the palace, Situ Fengya saw a lot of palace maids and guards, but it was a little strange that although this was a palace, many buildings had a feeling of disrepair, and it stands to reason that there should not be such a scene in the palace. In the center of the palace, Situ Fengya saw three statues, the middle one was the Ling Yan he had seen in the Lingshui Academy, and on either side of him were Ling Yan's two younger sisters, Ling Zhen and Ling Qing.
Seeing the statue of Ling Yan here, Situ Fengya was not surprised, he knew that Ling Yan was the last prince of Ling Shui Kingdom, so it was not strange that there was a statue of him in the palace. The guards did not take Situ Fengya to the main hall, but took him to the council hall next to the main hall.
Standing in front of the door of the council hall, the guard saluted Situ Fengya again and said, "Distinguished guest, Her Majesty the Empress is waiting inside, I can only send you here." ”
"I'm sorry for you." Situ Fengya nodded at the guard, and then the guard reincarnated and left. I don't know why Situ Fengya was suddenly a little nervous, although he had also seen the emperor in the previous games, but he had never felt like this, he had also been in contact with many big names in real life, so the majesty from the superior had no effect on him, but this time, it didn't seem to be because of this reason.
"Whew...... The Queen of the Water? After the guards left, Situ Fengya took a deep breath and walked into the council room.
The size of the chamber is similar to that of a large conference room in the real world, but the contents are different, unlike the conference room, there are no conference tables in the chamber, but rows of chairs, with the emperor in the center being the position of the emperor. There weren't too many people in the council hall, except for the Empress Lingshui, who was sitting in the center, there were only a few guards and two maids.
"Are you the sword that Dean Qin said, I didn't expect Lone to be able to meet the legendary warrior from another world." Empress Lingshui's voice was old and kind, but at the same time, she could vaguely feel a hint of the majesty of the superior, "Young man, don't be afraid, come to Lone." ”
“…… Good. Situ Fengya was still a little nervous, he slowly walked to the empress, and as the direct distance with the empress narrowed, Situ Fengya also saw the empress's appearance clearly. The empress's hair has turned pale, but there are not many wrinkles on her face, Situ Fengya has learned before, the Empress Lingshui is named Ling Kite, and she is currently more than 140 years old, but judging from her appearance, Ling Kite is only about 60 years old, so Ling Yan guessed that Ling Kite should also be a spirit person, but her strength is far inferior to Qin Beichen and Mu Yuqi who he saw before.
"Hehehe...... Young man, don't be inhibited, just sit down. Ling Kite's kind tone made Situ Fengya gradually relax, and for some reason, he seemed to see his deceased mother from Ling Kite. After Situ Fengya sat down, Ling Kite waved his hand to the palace maid and said, "You guys go down first, there are some things I want to talk about with this brave man alone." ”
"Yes."
In Situ Fengya's puzzled gaze, there were only two people left in the council room, he and Ling Kite, which made him a little curious about what Ling Kite was going to say to him next.
"Young man, Lone has a request, can you take off your strange mask so that Lone can see your true face with his own eyes?" I don't know why, Ling Kite, who was originally calm, was a little excited at this time, although she tried very hard to cover it up, but Situ Fengya still noticed a trace of abnormality, and Ling Kite also noticed that she was a little out of shape, so she hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, young man, this is just a request from Lone, if it makes you feel embarrassed, Lone will not force you." ”
"No, it's just a small thing." Situ Fengya shook his head and took off the angel mask on his face.
The moment Ling Kite saw Situ Fengya's appearance, he noticed that Ling Kite's aura had changed significantly, and she seemed to have become very excited, but she was trying to suppress her emotions. It was not surprising that Ling Yan would have such a reaction, he knew that his appearance was almost exactly the same as that of Ling Yan a hundred years ago, and Ling Yan was the son of Ling Kite, so it was not surprising that Ling Kite would be excited to see him.
"Ahem! Ahem! ”
After all, Ling Kite is 140 years old, and being too excited will not do her any good, but when Situ Fengya saw Ling Kite coughing, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart for some reason, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to Ling Kite, but his raised arms stopped in mid-air very awkwardly. Situ Fengya withdrew his arms and put the angel mask on his face again.
"The Empress...... Your Majesty, please calm down. ”
"It's okay...... it's okay," Ling Kite pressed his right hand on his chest, and waved his left hand gently towards Situ Fengya, "It's lonely." Young man, what's your name? ”
"Jianya."
Although Situ Fengya said his nickname, Ling Kite shook his head and said slowly: "Lone knows that in order to protect yourself, the names used by your brave people in other worlds in our world are all pseudonyms, and Lone hopes to know your real name." ”
“…… Situ Fengya. Although Situ Fengya didn't understand the meaning of Ling Kite, he still said his name.
"Sealed ...... Can Lone call you that? ”
"Absolutely."
"Feng Ya, Lone knows, because you and Lone's deceased son look very similar and cause a lot of inconvenience, Lone is very sorry for this. However, I hope you ...... No, can you do one thing for Lone? ”
"Absolutely, I'd love to help." Situ Fengya felt a little shocked, or a little puzzled, he didn't know why the Empress of the Dignified Water would be so polite to him, if he wanted to give him a task, at most it would be a request, he couldn't understand what kind of thing would make an empress plead with him a player who just looked a lot like his son.
"Lone begs you, pretend to be the son of yesterday's lonely, and go to see Lone's husband."
"Ding...... Task: The request of the Empress of Lingshui, one of them, Task Introduction: The Empress of Lingshui intercedes and talks to Ling Ya by pretending to be Ling Yan, Task Type: Uniquely hidden, Task Time Limit: None, Task Reward: Unknown. Acceptable? ”
Before "......" came to the palace, Situ Fengya had done enough homework, he not only knew that Ling Yan was the son of Ling Kite, but also learned that the last emperor of Ling Shui Country, Xue Ya the Great Emperor Ling Ya, did not actually die, but for some reason he was seriously ill and had been sick in bed, and he and Ling Kite's three children all died, Ling Kite did not want the throne of Ling Shui Kingdom to fall into the hands of others, so he shouldered this burden. In fact, Ling Ya also has a younger brother Ling Feng, at the beginning Ling Kite had the assistance of Ling Feng, and the burden was not too heavy, but then Ling Shui Guo was in a friction with the Fire Country, Ling Feng and his wife were framed and killed by the Fire Country, and his daughter was also missing, and since then Ling Kite has to carry the entire Ling Water Country alone.
"Lone understands that if you pretend to be another person, or a person who has been dead for a hundred years, there will definitely be some resistance in your heart, so Lone will not force you, nor will it make it difficult for you." Seeing that Situ Fengya didn't respond for a long time, Ling Yuan sighed faintly, "As compensation for you, the palace will be open to you in the future, and if you need help, you can ...... at any time."
"Your Majesty, I promise you."
"You say...... What the? ”
"I'm willing to help you with this!"
