Chapter 153: A Strange Praise
The thunder on a rainy night was the most irritating, and the gilded roof shone with a faint blue light, and the sound of the rain set off the rare silence of the royal armory. This night, there was no rumbling sound, and it was quiet and unsettling.
The palace of the third watch is as black as a huge piece of graphite, but the royal armory at this moment is brilliantly lit.
The candle flame reflected ten silhouette-like figures, one of whom was wearing a crown and leaning over to investigate something, while the other nine were shaking their heads......
"The inner treasury is full of divine weapons above the ground level, how could they all be destroyed all of a sudden?But is this Qi Wang Shizi doing it?!" The emperor's golden cloud dragon robe shone in the bright candle flames, illuminating his face that suppressed anger.
"The minister thinks that the prince of Qi is just a vain chief, and it is impossible for him to destroy all the divine weapons in the inner treasury alone. One of the nine palace people guarding the royal armory lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head.
"Then have you counted the weapons in the inner treasury?" Although the emperor did not believe that "Zhao Xu" had such a skill, his face still showed a suspicious look, as if he was suspicious of these palace people.
"This ...... There is indeed a strange treasure missing......" The palace people led by the emperor were suspicious of the emperor, and their hearts were cold.
"What?!One is missing?!What kind of divine weapon?" The emperor was furious, and his eyebrows were coldly addressed to the nine palace people, and his cold gaze swept over their faces one by one, as if he wanted to search for some clues.
“...... It is the treasure of the inner library, the treasure of the Thousand Machines Blood Armor, and the palace people led by the ...... revealed a sense of powerlessness in their words.
"What?!Damn it!Quickly find it out for me!Otherwise, you don't want to live!!Feed me all the Cloud Jiao Beasts!"
“...... This ...... "The nine palace people looked at each other, and said in their hearts, this person who can take away the blood armor of a thousand machines, must have extremely high martial arts. Only then can a heaven-level artifact recognize the master, although they are all Yuanzong. But he asked himself if he didn't have the ability to let the Thousand Machine Blood Armor recognize the master, otherwise he would have taken this artifact outside to claim the king. Why should they be palace servants in the palace? Now that the emperor has asked them to retrieve the Thousand Machine Blood Armor, how easy is it to talk about? Why don't they go directly to serve the Qingzhou Kingdom's divine beast, the Cloud Jiao Beast.
"Could it be that it was captured by the prince of Qi?!" The loss of the Thousand Machines Blood Armor made the emperor confused, and it was difficult to sort out his thoughts for a while. This thousand machine blood armor has been in the royal armory for hundreds of years, and countless top masters have tried to make the thousand machine blood armor recognize the owner in the inner library for hundreds of years, but no one succeeded, they were all dead and crippled. How could a person who only had the Void Pool Realm have such a ability? Although he didn't believe that Zhao Su had the ability to make the Thousand Machine Blood Armor recognize the master, he still subconsciously asked this question.
"The ministers have already checked the body of the prince of Qi, and he does not have this divine weapon on him. And if he had. When the divine soldier recognizes the master, the nine-eared dragon and phoenix tripod will be sensitive, but after the prince of Qi went down, the nine-eared dragon and phoenix tripod had no abnormality. The palace man at the head of the house recounted the facts in a calm tone, he had guarded here all his life, and he had gone down to the inner treasury countless times to obtain a divine weapon, and he had only succeeded once, but it was the type of weapon he was not good at using - the phoenix feather divine whip of the wind and fire attribute. The attribute of the exercises he cultivated was cold, how could he use this Phoenix Feather Divine Whip? This Phoenix Feather Divine Whip could be won by him. It was purely because the cold qi he practiced was strong enough, and he was honest enough to freeze the Phoenix Feather Divine Whip that he obediently held it in his hand and took out the inner library. He sent the Fengyu Divine Whip to Princess Danli and asked for an extremely rich reward, which was enough for him to return to his hometown in the future to enjoy the blessings! Therefore, he did not have the slightest suspicion of "Zhao Su".
"When will he wake up?" the emperor looked at "Zhao Xu", who was lying flat on the ground unconscious. I have mixed feelings.
"According to the person who persuaded the fake death pill to take the Returning Pill again, he should be able to wake up at this moment, but I don't know why. The prince of Qi still hasn't woken up...... I'm afraid the injury is not light. "The palace people led by him had already explored Gu Jun's body when he saw Gu Jun in the inner library, and he didn't find anything unusual about Gu Jun's body. But he didn't think much of it. Because in his cognition, a void leader wants to survive in the inner library. The only way is to take the fake death pill immediately, so as to ensure that no divine weapon will find out. There are not a few such people, and there are many young talents who do so in order to show that they have the ability to enter the inner library. Usually those who do this can also gain the attention of the emperor, at least they are more powerful, courageous, and dare to die than those who can't even enter the inner treasury.
"I'm afraid, what kind of injury he has become, can't you find out with your skills?" The emperor habitually questioned the older palace people in the palace, these old fritters knew too well how to fool him.
"The ministers are incompetent, although the prince of Qi is unharmed, but his pulse is extremely weak, and it seems that he has suffered extremely serious soul damage. "Although the palace people led by him have high martial arts, they are not proficient in alchemy refining tools, and their soul power is very ordinary, how can they have the ability to see if Gu Jun's soul is damaged, it is simply as the emperor expected, fooling the young superiors.
"So that's ......" The emperor frowned, knowing that the loss of the thousand machine blood armor could not be solved this night, so he had to order, "When he wakes up and interrogates him carefully, don't hurt his life, just ask what happened in the warehouse." Check out the rest for yourselves!"
"If we all go to investigate the whereabouts of the Thousand Machine Blood Armor, then who will take care of this inner library?" The palace people led by him felt that the investigation was in vain, and the strength of the person who dared to steal the Thousand Machine Blood Armor was definitely good, and the subsequent power was also huge, and he was dying of old age, just thinking that he could spend his old age in peace.
"Neiku has been destroyed, what else do you need to take care of? I will ask the Ministry of War to send a ground-level refiner here to repair the divine weapon. You don't have to worry about the affairs here!Go and get me back the Thousand Machines Blood Armor! If you can't find it, go and serve the Protector Divine Beast!"
"The ministers obeyed. The nine palace people knelt on the ground and saluted, their tones were heavy, and they looked down and found the tacit understanding in each other's eyes that they had worked together for many years.
The sun rose as usual, and the people of the nine palaces were tired and lonely.
Since the Emperor left, they began to secretly discuss how to deal with the Emperor's order to find the Thousand Machines Blood Armor given to them.
In their minds, this is an impossible mission. Because the nine of them knew very well that since "Zhao Su" entered the inner library, they have been guarding next to the nine-eared dragon and phoenix ding, and have never left half a step. During this period, they didn't see any disturbances at all, and they didn't even know when and how they lost these thousand machine blood armors.
Besides, the Thousand Machine Blood Armor is a Heavenly Rank Divine Weapon, and they all know that the Thousand Machine Blood Armor is ever-changing, and it is impossible to find it according to its shape, and once the Thousand Machine Blood Armor recognizes its owner, it will make the thief infinitely powerful and have no worries about defense. Even if the nine of them were Yuanzong, they might not be able to beat one thief together! The Thousand Machine Blood Armor had always been the plague god that all the divine weapons and sharp weapons respected in the inner library, and it was the same for them! There was no way to find it at all!
So, they decided not to look for it! But they still had to make an example for the emperor, they decided to make up a set of clues about the loss of the blood armor of the thousand machines, and then asked the emperor to go out to look for these "clues", and when they left the palace, they left the Qingzhou Kingdom, and from then on they went incognito and never came back.
Of course, in addition to the unanimity of the nine of them, such a calculation requires the confession of one person. This confession is crucial. Only when he got this confession would the emperor really believe that they had gone out of the palace to find the Thousand Machines Blood Armor.
Of course, this confession is the confession of Gu Jun, who has been pretending to be unconscious.
In this world, except for the dead, only those who pretend to be asleep can never wake up.
Gu Jun had already woken up after taking the Returning Pill, and the reason why he didn't want to wake up was to see how these people reacted to him by getting "mud" and destroying so many divine weapons in Necuri.
Gu Jun enjoyed the emperor's appearance of cutting his heart and flesh like thunder, and he also enjoyed the frightened expression when the nine Yuan Sects gathered together to discuss how to escape.
These, in Gu Jun's eyes, are all praises for him.
"Mud, it turns out that your name is 'Thousand Machine Blood Armor'. I didn't expect you to be really a heaven-level artifact!It seems that my luck is really good!" (To be continued......)
