After defeating the Golem Platani, the path to the upper level has been completely opened. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This should have been a thing to be happy about, but in fact, when everyone explored the one hundred and fiftieth floor, none of them were able to set foot on the ground of the one hundred and fifty-first layer. Like an Imperial prison, the entrance to the upper level appears to have an invisible bar, denying any foreign creature to visit. It's only been a week since the defeat of Platani, and the feeling of being hampered almost all the time has left everyone feeling very depressed.

It is confirmed that more than one person has seen a palace of existence from there. Interestingly, the news of this existing palace seems to be very important to Carl and Freya, who seem to be able to see the celestial realm of Bakar's reign from the shadow of the deep sea that can be seen.

"I don't care how gorgeous that palace is, I'm sure it's dangerous. ”

"Oh my God, you're such a coward. ”

"Well, listen, no matter what, there's nothing more important than life. ”

"It's going to be fine, my friend, it's probably going to be the most amazing part of our journey so far. ”

"I said I wouldn't set foot there. ”

The chattering around him never stopped, and during the sleepy midday hours, Carl was almost asleep after a few glasses of tequila.

In fact, the things he had considered in the past few days were even comparable to the things he had considered since he landed on the Arad continent, and the palace that existed, if he guessed correctly, must have been built by Bakar. As you can see from the outline on the outside, it is completely equated with the style of some of the Bakar buildings recorded in the Celestial History Books.

"Sleeping is a blissful thing in this weather. ”

Marcos's voice suddenly sounded in front of Carl, who slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was Marcos's smile, and Carl realized that he had fallen asleep before he knew it.

"Well, I've slept enough. Karl said listlessly.

"Then come with me to Sky City, I have something I want to confirm. ”

"No problem, I just want to see the palace again. ”

The two of them reached the one hundred and twenty floors of Sky City through the teleportation magic array, and the traces of the battle they had fought here a week ago were still there. It took the magicians a whole week to finish Platani's dormant body, which was a behemoth. But they didn't bother with it, because the gold was an invaluable magical material for them. Of course, gold has always been a symbol of wealth in the eyes of most people.

"So, what do you want to confirm?" Karl asked.

"Fett told me that someone had found traces of those Imperial troops here, and I thought I might be able to find a little clue, which is a troublesome thing. Marcos lit a cigarette and said a little boredly.

"If so, I guess we can only wish us luck. Karl patted Marcos on the shoulder.

Marcos smiled wryly, "Hey, I'm sorry about getting you involved in this." ”

"No need to apologize, because I'm already on the continent of Arad, and for me who wants to return to the Celestial Realm, these damn disputes are inevitable. Carl also lit a cigarette.

"I'm glad you can say that, I think it's time for us to go up. ”

After searching layer by layer for any possible traces, Marcos was met with nothing but success after time. As the number of floors went on, Marcos's question grew, did the third princess Isabella come to Sky City just to explore the unknown?

After searching the entire 150th floor, the results were still none. Marcos began to doubt the veracity of the news that Fett had gotten, and whoever saw the Imperial Army in Sky City could be threatened or even wiped out by those Imperial Army. Or is the whole thing a lie in itself? Is it just a hallucination of some mercenary who is overworked in battle?

Who that mercenary was, Kakun had never mentioned before, and in fact it was very difficult for a man of his nerves to remember the countless people who were found to repair weapons and equipment every day.

"It's weird that there's nothing. Marcos said in a deep voice.

"You can't go up from here. Karl stared at the end of the level, where the suspended staircase leading to the upper level floated up and down in a regular manner, but no one was allowed to set foot on it.

"If those Imperial troops have really been here, then what is their purpose? I don't think they just came to explore here, that's not the way of the Empire, they won't do anything that doesn't have any interests. Marcos thought as he leaned against the low, circular wall at the edge, as if he were questioning the air.

Karl also stood on the edge and watched the mountains in the distance, the beauty of their endless stretches that could only be seen in the Celestial Realm in the Impossible Realm, but there was yellow sand everywhere. In the celestial realm, the aurora and the city can be seen in the distant sky for some uncertain time. Most Celestials think it's just a mirage, but some scholars believe it's a lost city.

"What do you think?" asked Marcos again, this time clearly questioning Karl.

Carl slammed the cigarette butt out of his mouth over the edge, then watched as it flew around in the air with the wind. "I don't think the so-called princess of the empire would be boring enough to do the same thing as an adventurer, no matter how much power she has. ”

"Who knows, I think the same way as you. Marcos continued to ponder, struggling to come up with a plausible statement.

"I guess the people on the Empire side have heard about the Celestial Realm, right?, or maybe they know better?" Karl didn't know if he said this intentionally or not, but it did give Marcos a hint.

"That's it, and if that's the case, then I think it makes sense. Marcos was clearly excited to get a plausible explanation.

"What's that?"

Marcos turned his leaning posture to sit directly on a low wall, regardless of the danger, and his actions could lead to falling if he was not careful, which would be too dangerous, but Marcos obviously didn't care about it now. "The Delos Empire has never been satisfied with its existing territory, in fact they have always wanted to conquer the entire continent of Arad. Belmar, Void Ancestor, Dark City, Snow Domain, these territories will be their targets. Come to think of it, if they really know about the celestial realm, then I want to ......"

Marcos deliberately didn't finish his sentence, believing that Carl could understand what he was trying to say from what he was saying.

Karl narrowed his eyes slightly at Marcos, "Are you saying they might have the same idea about the Celestial Realm?"

"Yes, I know that there is a war going on in the Celestial Realm. But if the Empire really reached the Heavenly Realm through Sky City or other means, then whether it was helping the Imperial Capital or the damn Kallett organization, their power would definitely turn the tide of the war. The next step will be their usual method, either to form an alliance with the Celestial Realm, or to trample iron hooves across the entire Celestial Realm. ”

Although Karl believed this, he disagreed that the Imperial Army had the ability to turn the tide of the war. "Agreed, but I don't think the Imperial Army has the ability to turn the tide of the war, if they have actually seen the war in the Celestial Realm. ”

"Of course I know that you have many advanced weapons in the Heavenly Realm, but believe me, those imperial swordsmanship masters are not rats, they have the strength to fight hundreds of people by any of them, whether they are holding swords or guns, in their eyes they are just a pile of broken copper and iron. Marcos tried to convince Karl.

"Until the dust settles, I think we all have the right to keep our minds to ourselves. Carl smiled and handed over a cigarette, clearly trying to end the conversation, rightly or wrongly.

Marcos understood Carl's thoughts, and he knew that he didn't want his hometown to be touched by others, so he took the cigarette.
