Chapter 677: Dragon Venerable
The national grand occasion of the Longtuo Imperial Capital undoubtedly exceeded most people's expectations.
After all, the current situation on the continent is actually still in the midst of a global war that is on the verge of breaking out, and the flames of war may spread through the two Rakshasa countries as a buffer zone at any time, directly attacking the empire and the federation.
So even now, Su Mu has understood the emperor's purpose, and he also understands that the other party is to confirm the ancient dragon soul in the candle dragon sword.
But regarding the existence of the "Ancient Dragon Soul" itself, Su Mu was still full of doubts.
"In other words, in fact, even you don't know where this dragon soul came from. And without the blessing of the Storm Qi Pill, you can't even communicate with it again?"
There are only less than three days left before Su Mu's wedding.
And the Federation Wedding Transfer, which rushed to the empire on a feather ship, is also about to come to the imperial capital of Longtuo this evening.
However, under such a premise, when the entire imperial capital was plunged into a sea of joy, Su Mu and the two girls he was about to marry were discussing another issue.
"Judging from the situation on that day, the only thing I can be sure of is actually three things. ”
As Su Mu spoke, he once again activated the fused Brilliant Light Sword Candle Dragon, allowing the golden light to envelop the room again.
Then, little by little, he confirmed all the news he knew:
"First of all, it must be a dragon soul at the level of a large character, otherwise with the bonus of the dragon soul alone, it would be impossible for me to take on such a blatant attack as the Broken Sky Blazing. ”
"Secondly, this dragon soul must have some kind of connection with the Founding Emperor, and this connection is not only related to me, but also something that other beings are extremely concerned about. Otherwise, the Emperor would not have confirmed this and immediately gave up on winning the battle. ”
"And last but not least...... After confirming this, the Emperor not only did not take back the Candle Dragon Sword, but still let me hold this terrifying blade. And the Ancient Dragon Soul itself also expressed that they could only wait for me to grow. ”
"In other words, what the Emperor is really looking forward to is not me holding the Candle Dragon Sword at all, let alone the Ancient Dragon Soul bound in the blade...... He and some of the people behind him are waiting for me to truly control this long sword and release the ancient dragon soul!"
......
I have to say that in fact, Su Mu's speculation is extremely close to the truth.
But just by virtue of the information in front of him, Su Mu's speculation ended here, and there was no possibility of going deeper, let alone any hope of truly figuring out the truth afterwards.
"They don't know, after all...... Your Being, Your Holiness!"
In the depths of the Imperial City, in the most heavily guarded royal study, where only a few people were allowed to go, there was an old man with white hair and white beard standing proudly.
And beside the old man, it was the first close minister of the empire and the head of the imperial family who knelt down and spoke.
If outsiders see this scene, they will obviously immediately exclaim.
After all, from ancient times to the present, the imperial officials are only institutions that serve the emperor alone, and even the princes and princesses cannot make them kneel and be vassals.
Not to mention that in front of the old man in front of him, the head of the internal officials was even more respectful than when he faced the emperor.
But even so, even if the attitude of the head of the internal officials, it cannot be said that it is not groveling.
But at this moment, the Emperor of the Empire, who was sitting on the throne, did not show any dissatisfaction because of this, but silently ignored the sycophancy of the leader of the inner light, and said directly to the old man:
"What you need me to confirm for you, I've made the most careful confirmation for you. The dragon soul you've been looking for, it's indeed in the candle dragon sword. ”
"But the key is that even if Su Mu can't guess all of this matter, he will suddenly realize your existence and the relationship between you and me sooner or later. So...... What you promised to the widow, when will the widow be able to dispatch?"
As soon as the emperor said this, the air in the imperial study suddenly froze.
The leader of the internal officials, who had been kneeling on the ground, did not dare to raise his head and was still cautious, and he did not dare to release the slightest breath at all.
I don't know how long it took, but the chief of the internal officials felt his knees tingle slightly.
With a slight sigh, the white-bearded old man finally spoke again:
"Don't worry about what he guesses, with that person's wisdom, even if he is no longer the same person he used to be, it is only a matter of time before he guesses this. ”
"As for what I promised you, you can do whatever you want now. But I must remind you that there is only one such opportunity, and there will never be a second one. If you want to get the most out of it, then don't reconfirm it just to test my attitude!"
After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, he ignored the emperor's answer.
It had already turned into a cold aura, and quietly disappeared from the imperial city study again.
Only the cold fog in the sky was left, and it still permeated the study room of the imperial city.
It was not until this moment, until the old man known as "Venerable" had left, that the chief of the internal officials who knelt down in front of the emperor dared to get up from the ground gently.
The only one who looked inconvenient was the Emperor.
......
"In other words, you think there are other people other than my father behind this matter?"
Su Tong, who was the most astute, undoubtedly understood Su Mu's meaning at the first time.
But in addition to reading, Su Tong became more and more at a loss.
After all, in today's Longtuo Empire, in fact, the power of the imperial family is extremely stable, and even the high-ranking members of the empire like Lin Shanyue and Guan Yunfei can only serve the emperor.
If anyone can still drive the emperor......
"Unless...... He's not a force in the world at all!"
A resounding guess suddenly fell from Su Mu's mouth.
If there was anyone else who could drive the Emperor to act, in fact, Su Mu had only one suspicion.
And now it seems that since the Emperor's heavy blow was a lie. Then the terrifying life that the legend should have hit it hard is also most likely related to the Emperor:
"I'm afraid that what exists behind this matter is the ancestor of the ancestral dragon who was liberated from the ancestral dragon temple by me in the first place...... That big-character Frost Dragon!"
"And long before I entered the Ancestral Dragon Temple, your father had already reached an agreement with it. Even forcing me to enter the Ancestral Dragon Temple was also deliberately designed to liberate me. ”
That is to say...... The Ancient Dragon Soul that now resides in the Candle Dragon Sword seems to be what the Imperial Ancestral Dragon Ancestor desperately needs, and my very existence is a necessary prerequisite for providing them with this Dragon Soul liberation!"
(After compressing the rhythm, I found that maybe it would be more exciting, and the plot capacity was greatly improved!)
