The middle-aged man moved out a precision blood drawing device, with a small air pump that could automatically draw blood through a vein, instead of bloodletting or using various alchemy techniques in many hospitals today.

At the tail of the device is a test tube labeled Middle-earth.

He sat the Empress on a chair, then rolled up the Queen's sleeve and inserted a needle into her skin to draw blood.

The Empress really doesn't dare to speak out now.

She had never seen such a strange person, and how strange it must have been to have a laboratory used by the alchemists of Middle-earth in a particularly old monastery.

It's like the gods enshrined in the temple are like Taoists.

A few seconds later, the middle-aged man drew blood from a test tube from the empress. After removing the needle and closing the needle with Dao surgery, he began to process the tube.

The Empress watched curiously as the middle-aged man performed some complicated operations. The Empress asked only when the man had done all the work.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"If I would have told you, I would have said it a long time ago, wouldn't I? Why send my men to tie you up by force? ”

“。。。 You're a prison angel, aren't you? ”

"yes, what's wrong?" The middle-aged man turned the phone and asked suspiciously, "Is it so obvious that you still need to ask?" ”

"No, nothing. I just think that the prison angel of the Heavenly Prison Division will be like you. ”

"The world is full of wonders, and you are still a little lonely." The middle-aged man turned the phone board, then picked up the phone, and communicated with the person on the other side of the phone in a language that the Empress Cang Dynasty did not understand for a short time before hanging up.

Needless to say, it should be communicating with the people on the other side of Middle-earth.

"Well, can you tell me what our royal bloodline curse is?"

"It's not the bloodline curse of your royal family, it's our Sikong family, and you have been affected because of the bloodline of our Sikong family."

"Sikongjia? Wait, what do you call your family? "There are some differences between the empress, according to what this middle-aged man said, isn't it that the imperial family of the Cang Dynasty has something to do with the Prison Heaven Division of the Daohuang Dynasty?

"How do you think your shaman came from? Back then, one of the daughters of my clan was deceived by your royal ancestors, and a series of inexplicable events that followed led to the biggest split in the history of the Heavenly Supervisor, and then your shaman was born. ”

“。。。”

"The bloodline curse of the Sikong family has flowed to your royal family like this, understand? And let me tell you again, the curse does not have a certain chance to become stronger, but it is determined to become crazy. The middle-aged man said to the empress while cleaning the blood drawing device,

"And you're all weakened versions, and our Sikong clan's curse is powerful."

"Thou, thou shalt talk nonsense!"

"Why should I lie to you? Those who say that they have become stronger, you carefully recall and recall, whether those people are crazy people in the first place. ”

“。。。 Yes, is there any solution to this? ”

"Sikong's is incomprehensible, and I remember that my grandmother, who didn't know how many Zeng characters, seemed to have studied it, maybe in your family's own secrets. You can't even know this, do you? No way? ”

“。。。 How did you suppress the curse on me? ”

"It's very simple, just suppress it temporarily with a powerful charm. But that's not a long-term solution, and it will become less and less effective with the more you use it, so you don't have to think about getting a way to lift the curse completely from me. ”

“。。。”

"Okay, okay, I've run out of borrowing. I'll send someone to send you back again. Oh yes, for the sake of you being a little girl, I remind you, be careful of your national teacher. ”

“。。。 Thou, what do thou mean? Discrete meter? ”

"It's just a little careful, why should I do it? Now the dynasty and you are cooperating.

Alright, you should go too," the middle-aged man said as he greeted the man in black, who looked resentful, "by the way, I'll give you a small gift." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man threw a bulging bag to the Empress of the Cang Dynasty, who caught this exquisite bag with a black base and countless golden lines embroidered.

The bag alone is a great work of art, so what's in it?

"What's, what is this?" The Empress couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Don't ask, you'll know when it's time for you to know. How to say that sentence, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

"Thou shalt . . ." Before the Empress of the Cang Dynasty could finish speaking, she was carried away by the impatient black-clothed man, came to the altar that teleported them over, and then quickly left the Daohuang Dynasty in a small boat among the clouds.

Along the way, the man in black kept complaining about the exploitation of his boss, while the Empress of the Cang Dynasty thought about what the prison angel said, but she was a little eager to drink the tea made by the man in black.

She was sure that if this man in black was some secret department of the Heavenly Prison Division, he must be a famous teahouse owner in disguise.

It was already late at night the next day when the Empress of the Cang Dynasty returned to the dormitory in the palace. At this time, it had been a day since she was kidnapped, and it was obvious that someone had blocked the news of her abduction.

Because outside the dormitory, there are shadows of the Praetorian Guards. She had planned to go outside immediately, but she suddenly remembered what the prison angel had said.

Damn, how can I doubt a loyal national teacher because of the words of the prison angel of the enemy country?

But before she got rid of the hesitation in her mind, she went out directly, which already showed that the empress was beginning to be suspicious.

After arranging a few spaced dao techniques, she began to act accordingly.

She hurriedly rummaged through the compartment she had hidden and was full of royal secrets, and the things recorded here were not even known to the people of the Zongren Mansion, and they belonged to the records of the royal family.

Originally, she had just read the things she had to know in a hurry, but now that she had heard some things about her ancestors and the Heavenly Supervisor, she planned to carefully read all the stored materials.

After several complicated unlocks and bloodline unsealing, the compartment that I hadn't been here for a long time was finally opened. It was nine feet long, nine feet wide and nine feet high, and the interior was full of books.

The original metal sheets and bamboo slips were eliminated because there were too few things recorded and too much land, and most of the work of copying was done by the royal family themselves. The empress still remembered that she had just learned the official scripts circulating in the Central Plains, and then copied the contents of several large bundles of bamboo slips.

However, her transcription was all scraps, such as the hidden family forces that had secretly sworn allegiance to the royal family. Most of this information has become plausible due to time, but it can be regarded as a possible rescue in a critical situation.

The Empress of the Cang Dynasty took down the books she had not read, and began to quickly search for the secrets of her family's ancestors by the light of the night pearl stored in the compartment.

Soon she found the record that the ancestor abducted the daughter of the Sikong clan back then, but it said that the two of them eloped, and after the past, people really couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake.

In addition to an overview of events, there is also a brief introduction to Sikong. The clan can be said to be a very old family, and their surname was even designated by the Great Qin Dynasty as the name of the highest official in charge of the project.

The Sikong concubine didn't seem to know the origin of her family, but it did mention the family's bloodline curse, and then a page was cleverly torn off.

If it weren't for the Empress's desire to ask for the effects of the Bloodline Curse, as well as her own highly focused attention, she might not have been able to discover this through the small changes in the content of the two pages before and after.

This also means that there are other people who quietly tear out the page when they are done when they copy it back then.

This is simply not something that a royal family that has been affected by the bloodline curse would do.

This immediately reminded the empress of her somewhat absurd ancestor in her later years, and it is said that he had an unclear relationship with the female national teacher at that time.

It is precisely because of this unclear and ambiguous relationship that the Zongrenfu thinks that the descendants of the later national teacher family have a weak royal bloodline.

Then it is likely that the ancestor asked outsiders to help copy it because he was happy for a while, and he thought it was telling a love story that crossed the impossible.

The Empress of the Cang Dynasty was sure that the National Teacher Family definitely did not have any bloodline curses, otherwise it would be impossible for them to move freely outside the palace after the bloodline awakened, unless everyone was crazy.

The Sikong family's bloodline curse is not so easy to eliminate.

So what is the national teacher family doing this for? What is the purpose of making the royal family dare not awaken the bloodline, or unable to leave the palace after awakening the bloodline?

It can't be for the throne, right? If he had demanded the throne, the national teacher family would have done it a long time ago.

So what is the reason for this? The Empress of the Cang Dynasty continued to read materials that she had not read before

However, since the emperors of the Cang Dynasty in the past dynasties have not found any conspiracy of the loyal national teacher family, how can she find it now?

Although she learned more about the family secrets, the empress of the Cang Dynasty still didn't understand what the national teacher was doing this for.

If you don't understand it, you have to give up. After putting the books back in the cubicle and hiding the cubicle again, she tidied up her clothes, put the bag into the secret little storage bag in her sleeve, tied it with the string that attached it to it, and walked out of the dormitory.

Soon the news of the empress's return reached the ears of the national teacher, who breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led people to the dormitory.

Seeing the real worry on the national teacher's face, the empress was a little suspicious of the prison angel, it couldn't be a joke made by the middle-aged man, right?

She had never experienced anything like this since she ascended the throne. In order to hide her uncontrollable emotions, she hurriedly used fright as an excuse to go back to bed.

。

The Rhine Alliance had intended to use its powerful air force to open the gap, but the surprise attack of the Northern Army of the Holy Kingdom disrupted its own rhythm.

After the recent limited communication with the Kingdom of Rothier, the Alliance has also given up on the idea of betting on its entire air force to defeat the forces of the Northern Army attacking the Alliance first.

Just kidding, that monster-like Leviathan doesn't have a report of actual combat, but it's such a big thing that it can sink its own air cruiser even if it hits.

There's no way to consume it with the Holy Kingdom.

So what else can be done? The Kingdom of the Rhine took out the ancient treaty that it had signed with the mysterious Duchy of the Acropolis to try to see if it could get the Duchy of the Acropolis to participate in this great war.

As time passed, the only thing left to think of the Acropolis was that it was a great city. Due to the lack of oil and water and the complex and rigid levels, even some mercenary free traders have little interest in the principality.

It took three days and three nights for the Rhine envoys to complete the full set of entry procedures, and everyone was required to wear an alchemy bracelet before entering the customs completely.

It is said that if you find out that you have any bad thoughts about the Principality, the bracelet will be injected with a neurotoxin, and then you will lose control of your whole body within a few seconds, and you will die after about a minute.

No wonder no one is here.

Although the emissary of the Rhine Alliance was a little frightened by the idea of something wrong, he still put on the bracelet and followed the guards at the checkpoint into the principality.

Not only was the entire duchy built with various walls and towers, but there were also many above-ground fields built using alchemy, and the design was more three-dimensional in order to make the most of its small land area.

Soon, the messenger saw many integrated steam factories hidden behind the tall city walls, and it seemed that the Acropolis Principality was not a secluded person, they were still following the footsteps of the times.

Although it may be a little behind, it will definitely not stand still or even lag behind.

The closer you get to the tall walls, you can see that countless craftsmen are maintaining them, and behind them, the huge trebuchets and alchemy cannons look ready to use.

This means that the Duchy of the Acropolis has a reliable source of materials, and the traffic is huge. In addition, the Acropolis Principality is clearly preparing for war.

Originally, history class said that the former Imperial Guard Wall that the Acropolis now has was used to defend against external invasions. Historians believe that this vague external invasion was a monster on the bridge between the ancient empires of the East and the continent.

But if these historians could know what the equivalent enemy was that was supposed to be the alchemical artillery of the battleships in the air, it would not have been possible to think so.

So what kind of enemy invasion is the Acropolis preparing for? The messenger who knew some knowledge of the hidden power world did not dare to continue to think about it, and just wanted to quickly complete his mission and return to the Rhine Kingdom.

After a day's trek, I finally arrived at the capital guard of the Acropolis by various means of transportation, such as cable cars, trains, and underground trams.

Early the next morning, Duke Juncker of the Acropolis summoned an emissary of the Rhine Confederation. After listening to the messenger's request, the Duke of Juncker was a little worried.

"The Junkers will not break this ancient entente, but we are also facing war now, and we can provide very few forces, such as an infantry division, or a team of glorious centurions."

"It doesn't matter, any support is the best help for the Rhine Kingdom in crisis."

"Alright, a team of glorious centurions will return to the Rhine Kingdom with you in a day's time."

"Thank you Lord Duke for your support, the Rhine will always remember your assistance."

。

After the envoy left, the old minister of the principality could not hold back any longer.

"Lord Duke, now the enemy attack will come again, and this time more fiercely than ever.

Don't say that the ancient contract clearly states that every year those countries will support a large amount of supplies for the principality, but they don't do it, not to mention that this Rhine Kingdom once had wolf ambitions to sneak attack us to obtain the alchemy technology left by the empire!

Why did you send the Centurion of Glory to help them? ”

"Don't get excited, Steide, do you think that even if I put all my strength into the next war, how many chances will we have? Those people who have forgotten why they support us for free every year will naturally not remember the meaning of the existence of our Acropolis Principality.

If we know that these people are treacherous, and even if we all die in battle, we will not be able to stop the onslaught of the enemy, why do we have to defend this place? ”

"You, you mean..."

"That's right, the Duchy of the Acropolis has paid too much blood for those treacherous villains in Middle-earth, you count, how many people in our Duchy have died normally in the past hundred years? What did we do to get resources after the empire was gone? ”

“。。。”

"The Principality is no longer obligated to guard the gates for these people!"

"However, once the Acropolis Principality is lost, it will not only make those monsters completely unleashed, but also let the subspace rifts and spatial cracks that we use to obtain resources get out of control, and then not only Middle-earth will suffer, but even spread to the entire world!"

"Well, that's why I said Stadler, you still don't understand. Does the Holy Kingdom understand it? Do you know how horrible the hidden parts of it are? ”

"This..."

"Not to mention those endless knights, archangels, even the secret research institute that seems to be just a secular world has a big secret, not to mention the Leviathan that appeared on the battlefield in the air, do you think the Holy Congress can't defeat those monsters? It's just a terrible price. ”

“。。。 However, even if the Holy Kingdom were able to defeat those monsters, Middle-earth would be in ruins. ”

"That's why I've been in contact with the people of the South Loya Empire for a long time."

"What!?"

"They promised to vacate a large piece of resource-rich land for us on the western continent."

“。。。 However, what is the foundation of the Acropolis Principality? Without this Imperial Guard Wall, what are we? ”

"We are still the Acropolis principality, we are still the Acropolis, what is the difference? People are still that group of people, it has always been people who give meaning to things, how can things give meaning to people? While the battle flag of the Empire of Augustus was still flying over Middle-earth, how many people still considered themselves citizens of the Empire? ”

“。。。 You're right. Alas, the old minister went down to arrange the transfer of a team of glorious centurions. ”

"Go ahead."

。

The Acropolis Principality is facing the front line of the war, and on the opposite side of the straight city wall that is tens of meters high is a huge abyss that cannot be seen to the end. At all the moment, this monster with six legs, covered in carapace and sharp spikes, rushed towards the walls.

On the city walls, countless Duchy soldiers are wielding all kinds of guns, flamethrowers, and logs covered with spikes to attack the monsters that climb the walls.

Although it seems easy now, this is just a daily shock, and the insect tide every once in a while is quite terrifying.

These monsters climbed the walls with the onslaught of the ocean, and made their way through a dense network of high-voltage wires, barbed wire, turning gears, and spikes to reach the walls, using their unrivaled melee superiority to carry out mass slaughter.

At this time, Glory Centurion, a melee weapon will begin to fight against the insect tide.

Often after tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers were killed in battle, hundreds of alchemists and a number of glorious centurions, the insect tide would end.

However, this time it was not so simple, and the Zerg Queen in this abyss had fully recovered.

After being injured by the remnants of the three-dimensional defense system outside the sky, it fell to the current position of the abyss, and the abyss was smashed deep due to its extremely dense density and the fragility of the planet itself.

At that time, the empire was still in a very strong period, and found that this monster was extremely aggressive, so he sent a large army to conquer, but for various reasons, the expedition failed, and the empire was greatly damaged for a while, which also laid the root for the demise of the empire in later generations.

The badly wounded Zerg Queen was powerless to invade the outside world, and the Imperial army, which had suffered heavy losses, was unable to completely destroy it, so the Empire built the original Imperial Guard Wall.

Later, with the westward expedition of the Qin army of the Great Qin Kingdom in the east, the empire began to build more fortresses nearby, and eventually formed the Imperial Guard Wall.

Later, when the Great Qin Dynasty was established, the emperor began to pay more attention to his closer enemies to the north, and abandoned the Augustus Empire, which continued to work on expeditions to Middle-earth, and the western expedition came to an end.

Although the Great Qin Dynasty did not gain the territory of the empire, it completely crippled the imperial army that had not recovered its vitality, and it took a full hundred years to recover its vitality.

And a hundred years later, the imperial army is no longer the lion that fought everywhere with abundant martial virtues, and it has not made up its mind to completely eliminate the Zerg Queen.

Now the queen has recovered from hundreds of years of constant healing. The Duchy of the Acropolis once tried to use all kinds of strong alchemy explosives to bombard the abyss constantly, but the strange thing was that it couldn't be heard at all, as if there was something hidden in the shadow of the abyss that could devour the existence of alchemy explosives.

After various attempts failed, with the demise of the empire, the countries no longer fulfilled their obligations under the Entente, and the Duchy of the Acropolis could only watch the Zerg queen slowly recover.

According to the experts of the principality, this time the Zerg Queen is coming out of the abyss.
