Chapter 4: Stargate
After a while, Catherine and Li Ming came to the place in the hall. The entire hall is covered with crimson tapestries decorated with gold flowers. In the recess of the room, there was a couch-like thing, on which lay several swords, the scabbards were gilded, and the hilts were inlaid with sparkling gems, and from the ceiling hung a glass lamp, which was attractive in shape and color, and under his feet was a carpet that could sink to the ankles, and several curtains hung down in front of the door, and another door led to the second room, which seemed to be magnificently illuminated. Looking at the brightly lit hall, Li Ming had a feeling of unreality. "I'm no longer in that world, it's not a dream," Li Ming said to himself silently in his heart.
"Hi Catherine, what have you been doing lately, have a drink," a young man in a black gown walked over with a wine glass in his hand, and gestured to Catherine.
"Oh, Barrett, you're back, I don't think you went to stuff it?" said Catherine to the young man, taking a sip from the glass beside her.
"Isn't it said that the stars are going to be opened, and my old man called me back from the side race. I haven't killed enough of those natives. Speaking of this, Barrett spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders to show his helplessness.
"It seems that Count Bacon attaches great importance to this matter, and has actually called you back. But will the stargate really open?"
"You don't have to test me, I know as much as you do, whether the stargate will open or not, this kind of thing can only be decided by our fathers, I want to know to ask them. Speaking of Barrett, there was a pause.
"Because the star gate may be opened this time, many nobles outside have returned, and there are still a few acquaintances among them. Barrett gave Catherine a meaningful look.
"Acquaintances, I also want to see how they have grown in the past few years. A figure flashed through Catherine's mind. The figure that has led her for years.
"Come with me, Prince Evans is waiting for us, I'm just coming out to pick you up. So saying, Barrett led the way, motioning for Catherine to follow.
The journey was very long, and from time to time a nobleman would come forward to toast Barrett and Catherine and have a few words. And Barrett was not afraid, he didn't drink properly, and he also talked loudly about his life in Biansai, and the interesting things that happened, and told how brave he was, and the natives who killed Biansai were not left behind.
Catherine stood aside and looked at the endless waves of Barrett looking very helpless, he knew Barrett's personality very well, and he would never leave if he didn't talk about it.
A maid hurried up to Barrett and whispered something in his ear.
Barrett looked helpless and looked back at Catherine.
"Let's go, Evans, that's tired of waiting. Let's hurry up. His tone seemed helpless, and he promised the audience in front of him to speak again.
Barrett took Catherine out of the second floor, and after a while the two came to a small room at the end of the second floor, Barrett turned around and smiled at Catherine, and pushed the door in.
There were two men and one woman, one man and one woman sitting on two chairs, each holding a wine glass and taking a sip from time to time, while the other man stood at the table and poured wine.
Not surprised at the two people who appeared in front of him, the man sitting in the chair waved his hand.
"Long time no see, Catherine, are you doing?"
"It's been a good day, Boyle. Isn't this Charlotte, how can you spend enough time in your little country and come to the big city? As she spoke, Catherine looked at the girl sitting in her chair, her eyes were bright, her eyebrows were trimmed, her nose was trimmed, and her cheeks were slightly pear-edging. The light shines on her face, and her complexion is crystal clear, soft and beautiful like jade, but I see that her complexion is very white, her nose is higher than that of ordinary women, and there is a faint blue meaning of sea water in her eyes.
"I'm just coming to see my men lose, oh, don't worry I'm not talking about you, you know that there are too many people who have lost to me. "The woman's voice is as nice as a nightingale.
"It's you who is despicable, you have obviously broken through to the soul master, and you still pretend to be a soul general to lure me to gamble with you. Catherine looked at her with resentment in her tone.
"The result is the only criterion, in vain you You have received so many years of aristocratic education, don't you know that history is written by the victors?My breakthrough to the soul master can only prove that I am strong, you are too weak" The nightingale-like voice sounded again, and the words revealed a taste of sarcasm.
Barrett snuggled up against the wall, his hands clasped to his chest, looking like he was watching a good show. Boyle, who was sitting in his chair, raised an eyebrow and didn't speak.
"That's enough, don't quarrel as soon as you two meet, I'm the master here, this is my place, you two should give me a face, okay?" It was the man who stood and poured the wine who spoke, his smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness, dark and deep eyes, glowing with charming color, all showing nobility and elegance. He is Prince Evans, one of the heirs of the Galactic Empire. At this time, he was looking at the two beauties in front of him helplessly.
Catherine gave Charlotte a hard look, then found a place to sit down. Charlotte looked at Catherine and continued to sit in her chair and drink, looking through the window at the noisy hall below.
"Okay, everyone is here, please come this time, the main thing is that we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's meet and contact our feelings. The second thing is the stargate. The third prince said as he walked to the center of the crowd.
"I believe everyone already knows that this time our royal family intends to reopen the Star Gate, and now I can officially tell you that this matter has been decided, and the reason for the above. It has not yet been announced, because the resources required by the major families and the number of places they occupy have not yet been agreed. After all, stargates require huge resources to open, and the number of people who can enter is limited. Either way, you're certainly one of them. ”
Just kidding, the one here is either the eldest daughter and eldest son of the descendants of the major families, or the most talented person in the family, who they don't go.
"Evans, you are the prince, tell me what good things are in the Star Gate, my old man has captured me from thousands of miles away. Barrett asked curiously.
At the same time, several other people all showed concerned looks.
"There are all kinds of precious herbs and ores in the Star Gate, and there are soul beasts left behind from 10,000 years ago, many of which have dragon and phoenix bloodlines, and there are soul books left by saints in the most important Star Gate. Evans was slow to say the last few words.
"The soul book? and it was left by the saint, I go, I must go, this is a fortune. Barrett was stunned for a moment, then reacted, shouting that he must get all the soul books in his hands.
Catherine and the others ignored Barrett's clamour, and all digested the news that Evans said, there was actually a soul book in the stargate, and it was left by the saint.
The so-called soul book refers to the books left by the strong above the psychic, which is written with soul power, and it is not only written down by their own exercises, but also their own soul imprints, for the perception of the exercises, it can be said that obtaining a saint's soul book is equivalent to a saint teaching you how to cultivate in person, how lucky it is, even if it is a person with ordinary qualifications, under the teaching of the saint, it will definitely become a strong person. Moreover, the books that can carry the perceptions of the saints are of course not ordinary paper, but precious refining materials, which are enough to be used to refine holy weapons.
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were hot, and they couldn't wait to go to the Star Gate to seize the soul book immediately.
"Ahem," Evans coughed twice, interrupting everyone's fantasies.
"Although the star gate is good, but the resources required to open it are too many, although the royal family really can't afford it, if you want to enter, you still need to persuade your elders, now pay a little bit of resources, once you enter the star gate, you can make up for it" Evans said with a sincere face in front of everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement, but they were scolding in their hearts and knew that it was not that simple.
