"Hmm......"

Chen Yin held the slightly purple "Biography of Ivan" in his hand and thought, his fingers gently rubbed the name on the cover, and he felt the uneven handwriting with his fingertips.

What exactly is hidden in this book?

Whispers?

No, it's not.

If it's a secret word or something, then like the words of the "prophet", it would be nice to engrave a monument, so why do you have to keep the book?

So the secret of this book, it should be tangible, something that is kept in the book in physical form. It should be a discoloration of the roasting fire, or the application of juice to show words.

Or......

It's just hidden in a thick cover.

I looked back and forth several times, and from the outside, there were no suspicious marks on the cover of "Ivan's Biography". And the thickness is not much different from other books with similar covers.

"Knock knock."

When I knocked on it, the hard cover made a dull sound, and judging by the sound alone, it looked like a hardwood board covered with a layer of leather.

In addition to determining the material, other inspections didn't find any mechanism for a long time, Chen Yin couldn't help but hesitate: "Do you want to destroy it?" ”

Forget it, it's not my family's ancestors anyway!

Thinking so, Chen Yin took out his Swiss Army knife and cut along the edge of "Ivan's Biography". The hard leather of a thousand years ago is gradually cut open by a sharp blade, revealing the secret that was put into the cover a thousand years ago:

A neatly folded piece of parchment.

There really is!

Chen Yin took a deep breath, gently pinched the parchment with both hands, and slowly opened it......

At the top of this long parchment is a line written: The Lost City of Gold.

Below the title is a map, with a red X-shaped mark in the center of the rough line, maybe the so-called Golden City is located in the red X on this map?

However, there is no text on this map, and it doesn't seem to be a place that Chen Yin is familiar with, so it is not known where the Golden City is in this map for the time being.

After a cursory look, Chen Yin reversed the map. On the back of the map is a line of words:

"My descendants, if you want to transcend your destiny, then follow in the footsteps of the prophets, and if you have accepted your destiny, then please put it back in its place and pass it on to your descendants, Ivamo Godliu."

It seems that this golden city is the same relic that the prophet wanted to excavate mentioned in the previous book.

"In the Footsteps of the Prophets......"

Chen Yin silently recited this sentence, and always felt that it seemed to be a little unfinished. Why is it possible to transcend one's destiny by following in the footsteps of the prophets?

It seems likely that this sentence will have to be combined with other information to arrive at an accurate judgment - perhaps the words left by the "Prophet" on the left page to the Mogoths?

"Alas......" Chen Yin sighed.

"Giggle-"

There was a sound of metal deformation in the activity of the mechanism, and the gate gradually rose.

The silver-haired girl in the white dress hurriedly walked in.

Chen Yin, who was guarding a pile of debris and tattered covers, and was holding a knife in his hand and looked like the perpetrator, said with an embarrassed face: "Eh...... I'm actually ......."

"Repair, yes, it's repair, it was flooded before. I ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the girl passed by him like a gust of wind, and took a few steps up to the "wind ladder" platform.

"You ......" Chen Yin was stunned, for so many days, he had never seen the girl's other expressions, but at this time, she completely broke Chen Yin's understanding.

"Come on." The girl looked at the map in Chen Yin's hand and suddenly beckoned to him.

"What?" Although Chen Yin asked so, he still walked to the girl's side.

“%￥。” The girl grabbed Chen Yin's wrist and said a word that Chen Yin didn't understand, and then the ground shook violently, and the position where the two of them were standing suddenly sank down!

The sudden accident made Chen Yin almost fall, but fortunately, the girl helped him at the right time - no wonder she grabbed Chen Yin's wrist in advance, it turned out that she had expected it a long time ago.

"Since you know everything, why don't you remind me first." Chen Yin muttered, but he was not embarrassed to say it.

The silver-haired girl looked at Chen Yin and let go of his wrist expressionlessly.

The decline continues.

The surrounding walls rose rapidly, and after a short period of weightlessness, Chen Yin, who was used to sitting in elevators, quickly adapted.

After a mental estimate, after about 20 meters of descent, the "elevator" finally stopped, and a gate slowly rose in front of the two of them.

The silver-haired girl glanced at Chen Yin, and then walked through the gate.

Chen Yin sighed and walked in after her.

"It's usually cold, it's so ......cute when you eat cake," Chen Yin muttered quietly.

The silver-haired girl's footsteps paused slightly, and a hint of red appeared on her face, but she quickly returned to normal, so that Chen Yin, who was following her, had no chance to see this beautiful scenery at all.

White walls, white lights, white floors.

In a trance, it seems that I have come to a pure white world.

"Here...... Wow! Before Chen Yin's question could be spoken, he saw that the white walls around him suddenly rippled and became transparent, and then some scenes slowly emerged in the transparent walls.

"Where is this!?"

The surrounding scene was extremely luxurious, with huge stone pillars, red and gold woven carpets, and extravagant brass lampstands lit with candles, illuminating countless richly dressed and pot-bellied aristocratic lords.

In the most conspicuous part of the whole hall was a seat inlaid with gold and precious stones, clearly the seat of the most powerful person.

For now, though, the spot is vacant.

In front of their seats, two acquaintances were standing facing each other, sarcastically at each other.

“…… Looks like you're completely shameless, William. As a prince, you can actually behave so rudely, tsk...... I have to wonder if my father is blessed with a certain village girl, so you have it? ”

The second prince, Aemond, with a smile on his face that was in his hands, condescendingly counted William.

"Hmph." The eldest prince William clasped his hands to his chest and smiled disdainfully, "Since you were a child, you will only play these little tricks." But what I want to tell you is that in the face of absolute strength, all cleverness is also tightly clever! ”

"You still don't even know how you lost? Let me tell you, if you lose, you lose in self-deception. William said disdainfully, "Do you know why my father hasn't come yet?" That's because he's already acquiesced! And you still can't understand it, it's pitiful and ridiculous. ”

"No, my father wouldn't give the throne to a rude, domineering single-celled animal like you. Only I can lead the Mogoth Empire to glory! ”

"Phew!"

“……”

The sarcastic words between the two princes were passed word for word, which made Chen Yin, who had not been in contact with modern civilization for a long time, sigh with emotion. Judging from the content of the conversation between the two, it is clear that it is a continuation of last night. And judging from the lighting at the door, the time is also in line with the present.

So, it's a live broadcast on the wall.

Chen Yin curiously approached the two princes and poked Aemond's face with a wicked smile.

"Where are you hiding this panoramic camera? The whole palace didn't even find out? ”

"......" The girl remained silent, but this time she held out her hand.

"What?" Chen Yin was stunned.

"Give it to me."

"What for you?"

"Map."

“…… That's what I found! Chen Yin was naturally unwilling.

But the girl's hand was firmly extended, and there was no intention of compromise.

"Okay, okay, just to show you! Don't break it for me...... You'll give it back to me after you've finished reading, right? ”

The girl nodded, took the map and looked at it carefully.

Anyway, if you let Chen Yin see it herself, she can't find any clues, so it's better to let the girl take a look.

When Chen Yin was communicating with the girl, the form in the palace took a sharp turn, and the civil official group standing behind the second prince and the military attaché-dominated group behind the eldest prince had become a pot of porridge, and it seemed that the two were evenly matched in interpersonal relationships.

Although there was a lot of noise here, His Majesty the Emperor still did not appear. Only the empty ornate seat still stood quietly, observing the two princes with cold eyes.

"Shut up!" William seemed to be unable to stand the noise of the vegetable market in the palace, and turned around and kicked his table and chair with a loud noise.

As if he was stunned by William, the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly fell silent.

"You don't have to wait. My father had known that we were coming, and he didn't want to make a choice, so he had already left the palace...... But that's his choice! Whether you understand it or not, I'll say it one last time......"

"Shut up! No way! Father will be back soon! Seeing that the situation was not right, Aemond quickly shut William's mouth.

"Die! Impossible! I watched him get on his horse and leave here! ”

“……”

As the two quarreled, the hall became chaotic again, until ......

A pair of combat boots stepped into the palace.

The sound of metal and the pounding of the ground echoed through the hall, and gradually, all the chaos in its place subsided again.

"Duke Pound! You're finally here! William smiled and greeted him personally.

Old Pound?

Chen Yin looked at the imperial god of war carefully, and sure enough, he looked like little Pound...... No, little Pound really looks like him.

His golden hair, handsome face, and faint scars on his cheeks make him full of charm that is intertwined with wildness and intellectuality. Just put this face on the earth, it will definitely kill a male god in seconds, handsome and man, it is simply rare.

"Your Highness, you are too polite." Old Pound avoided William's hand, saluted him, and bowed slightly to show his respect. This made William very useful, and forced himself to drag his hand back to the center of the hall.

At this moment, the ministers behind Aemond didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Aemond looked at Old Pound with an incredulous expression: "Lord Duke, didn't you swear a long time ago not to join any party or participate in the affairs of the royal family?" ”

"But I can't watch His Majesty the Emperor go astray, Aemond, you're not a worthy leader."

"I ...... After I came to power, I promised to increase military spending to support your Northern Expedition plan......"

"Thank you, these Williams have already promised me." Duke Pound said slowly.

"Yes...... William! How dare you preach the royal housekeeping everywhere and promise it everywhere! Even colluded with the military, my father will not forgive you! ”

"Really? Then you will ask my father to punish me? ”

"Wait for him to ......," said Aemond reluctantly.

"He's not coming. That's his response! William looked affirmative.

At this moment, a priest dressed in a gold and white robe broke into the palace.

Looking at the sabre-rattling crowd, the priest cleared his throat and announced:

"The Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Mogoth Empire: From now on, this Imperial Biography is located in ...... Duke Pound! Effective from the date of the Notice! ”

"What!?"

"This!?"

"How so!?"

"Fake! It must be fake! ”

The entire hall suddenly fell into chaos.

"No...... How so? William looked at Duke Pound in despair.

At the same time, another viewer of this live broadcast also expressed their surprise deeply.

"Why is this happening?" Chen Yin was also dumbfounded.

Whether it is a struggle for the emperor or a struggle for the emperor, there are simply not too many in Chinese history. But this kind of old emperor will pass on his throne to outsiders who are not related by blood! This...... Except for the Zen concession system in ancient times, it has never appeared!

How big is this old Mogot's heart?

“…… Moreover! The priest continued, "Summoning the two princes, William and Aemond, to the Cathedral of the Holy Light immediately!" ”

"No way!"

Just as the priest said this, Duke Pound, the imperial military god, suddenly retorted.

"I'm sorry, but you weren't the new Emperor before this decree was handed over to you." The priest smiled slightly, and then said loudly to the two princes with a straight face: "What are you waiting for!?" Do you want to rebel against His Majesty's orders!? ”

“…… No. Aemond sighed and walked over to the priest.

And William was like a deflated ball, obediently walking in the direction of the priest.

"Smack."

The god of war suddenly grabbed William's hand.

William struggled and found that the hand of the military god was like an iron hoop, which made people unable to resist at all, and couldn't help frowning: "Duke Pound, what are you?" ”

"Before the establishment of the prince, the two princes should sit more." Duke Pound said with a smile.

"But......" William was also a little unwilling. ，

"If you don't go, then I'll just take Aemond with me." The priest looked at William with pity.

It was only at this time that William's heart suddenly moved and he discovered something.

"Okay, I'm not leaving." William suddenly turned around and said, "Duke Pound, you still support me, right?" ”

"Of course, when ......"

Before he finished speaking, William took advantage of Duke Pound's relaxation of vigilance, suddenly jumped back, and then turned around and ran, just avoiding the hand of the god of war Pound grabbed again.

"Alright, my mission is done. Duke Pound, take the order, and henceforth you will be Emperor of the Mogot Empire - or do you like to call it the Pound Empire? The priest protected the two princes behind him, and saluted politely: "Then I will retire." ”

"No, no one can leave without deciding the crown prince!"

Before the god of war Pound could speak, countless soldiers rushed in and surrounded the entire hall.

Some ministers with a long reflex arc didn't realize that something was wrong until now, and looked at the development in the field with a blank face.

"Are you really going to be an enemy of the Church of Light?" As the priest spoke, a group of heavily armed paladins on horses rushed into the palace.

This move was obviously unexpected by Old Pound, and the combat effectiveness of a team of paladins with an average of 4 stars and a captain of at least 5 stars was by no means something that could be stopped by a few guards in this mere team.

"Hmph, a wise choice." With that, the priest escorted the two princes and quickly left the palace.

"Phew! Damn white dogs! Parasites that squeeze the flesh and blood of the people! Old Pound looked resentful, and he didn't care about the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who had been petrified, and walked straight to the gorgeous chair in the center and turned around and sat down.

Subsequently, Pound the Great issued the first order:

"Pass my orders, plan ahead!"
