Chapter 490: The Old Man
The more he explored, the more Ye Qiong discovered how powerful the five nobles were.
The power of the army was placed in the hands of the chief knight Bertans.
The right to speak in the court is all on the Duke of White Eagle, and most of the nobles in St. Kan'er City have taken refuge in this duke.
In this case, no matter how talented George is, he can only be a puppet king.
The nobles of the Imperial City could not be counted on, and none of the forces in the city of St. Kan'er had defected to the royal family.
The nobles of the north and south took refuge in Sharpe Nina, the countess of tulips, and Hows Burt, the king of the Northland, respectively, and it can be said that none of the nobles of the entire Apocalypse Empire identified with King George.
They only identify with the five nobles behind the scenes.
It stands to reason that with such power, it would have been easy for them to replace a king, but in fact they did not do so, even if George had offended a god.
It is not difficult to see from the inaction of the knight captain Bertans and the Duke of White Eagle during this period of time that they do not want to offend "Calves".
But it was just that I didn't want to offend, and I didn't do a deeper overture.
In the past four days, they have not approached anyone with "Calves", and it is clear that Apoñas deliberately let the clone leave some traces.
It can only be said that it is very strange, and the attitude of these five nobles is quite strange.
Seeing that the night was dark, he changed into black clothes, changed his appearance, and walked out from behind the church.
During this time, he had been observing the Duke's Mansion with the help of the power of the Eye of the Heavens.
He found that this Duke of White Eagle had never even stepped out of the door of his room, let alone the Duke's Palace.
No wonder there are rumors in the city that the Duke of White Eagle is seriously ill in bed, you must know that the commoners at the bottom and even the middle and upper nobles have not seen the Duke of White Eagle for three years.
This phenomenon is enough to illustrate one fact, that is, the Duke of White Eagle is in a deep sleep in order to prolong his life.
He tiptoed to the vicinity of the Duke's Palace, and after a few days of exploration, he already knew the weakest point in the defense of the Duke's Palace, and jumped to the high wall, and then jumped into the Duke's Palace.
With the surveillance of the Eye of the Sky, he knew the actions of the guards in the palace very well, and easily bypassed the patrolling guards, and then walked towards the Duke's palace.
In fact, for him, if he wants to find the location of this White Eagle Duke, the method is very simple, just follow the strong dragon aura in the air.
It is worthy of being the heir of the original Yan Dragon, such a powerful aura, even if you don't look closely, you can easily see it.
He didn't immediately walk in the direction of the dragon breath, because he wasn't sure if Duke White Eagle was really asleep.
The ability to open the Eye of the Sky creates an eyeball out of thin air on his right hand, causing it to float and fly forward.
This is his usual practice, first using the Eye of the Sky to observe the enemy's situation, and then set off after confirming that it is correct.
Connecting his vision to his eyeballs, he clearly saw the scene ahead.
The Duke's Mansion was huge, and it would take a lot of time to walk around, and his purposeful command flew towards the place where the dragon's aura came from.
Soon, we were in front of a room.
The windows and doors of this room were locked, if he couldn't feel the dragon aura in the room, Ye Qiong would probably think that this was an empty room where no one lived there.
Manipulating his eyes to fly towards the room, he himself was not idle at this time, groping around in the Duke's Palace.
Soon, the manipulated eyeball flew smoothly into the room.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Qiong was slightly surprised.
Although the room is very large, there is little covering, so you can see the whole room at a glance.
Obviously, this is the place where the breath of the dragon clan is emitted, but the strange thing is that there is no one in it?
He manipulated his eyes and looked around, most of the decorations in it contained a strong law of flames, therefore, the temperature of this room was much higher than that of the outside world, and ordinary people were afraid that they would sweat profusely because of the high temperature environment for the first time when they came here.
This kind of environment is difficult for humans to adapt to, but it is just right for the White Eagle Duke, after all, he is the son of the original Yanlong.
He sent his eyeballs to search around the room, but found nothing, obviously this is the place where the dragon breath comes out, but the Duke of White Eagle is not here?
Ye Qiong quickly thought of the reason.
There is probably a dark room hidden in this room, which is where the White Eagle Duke sleeps.
After getting this information, Ye Qiong did not continue to send eyeballs to continue the search, even if he found the location of the dark room, it was impossible for him to really go in, the noise was too big, and it would be easy to wake up the sleeping White Eagle Duke.
Just as he was about to exit, he suddenly saw a small statue in the room.
This position was not conspicuous, so Ye Qiong was not able to find it in time during the first search.
He sent his eyeballs to fly over, and after seeing the whole picture of the statuette, he couldn't help but say secretly in his heart:
"No wonder."
Looking at it from afar, he felt that this statue was extremely familiar, and he dared to love the statue of the Holy Father.
During this time he stayed in the church, and he did not neglect the statue of the Holy Father.
To his wonder, why was the statue placed in such a place?
If the Duke of White Eagle is religious, then it is reasonable to put this small statue in the shrine and worship day and night, what does it mean to put it in this corner that is difficult to be found?
If the faith is not religious, what is the purpose of hiding a statue of the Holy Father in your room? How to drop, see that this holy father is unhappy, holding a statue to vent?
This is a world where there are real gods, and even if the Holy Father has been missing for hundreds of years, no one will dare to do anything.
It can only be said that Duke White Eagle's approach can only be described as strange.
In order to avoid being exposed, Ye Qiong withdrew his eyes and withdrew from the room.
And he himself had already walked around the Duke's Palace, but unfortunately, he didn't find much to discover.
Familiar jumped to the high wall, jumped forward, and returned to the ground.
I have to say that the Eye of the Sky is really a good ability to sneak in, and it easily helps him bypass the guards.
Dressed in black, he was not easily spotted in the darkness of the night, and he walked into the deserted streets, intending to bypass the guards and return to the church.
Thanks to the help of the Eye of the Firmament, the process went extremely smoothly, and within a few moments, he was back in the church.
He quietly walked to the back door, and with a slight push, he opened the door, and by the moonlight, he saw what was going on inside the door.
There was a person in the church?
An old man sat on a bench, tilted his head, squinting comfortably, as if he was napping?
On the side of the church, he has always used the ability of the Eye of the Sky to monitor, how did this old man get in? Obviously, the locks at the main entrance are good.
The most important thing is that this old man seems to be just an ordinary person, but he inexplicably brings Ye Qiong a sense of crisis.
This feeling, he had only felt in the Desperate Knight.
In every way, this old man is extremely dangerous.
Ye Qiong grabbed the doorknob and silently wanted to close the back door that had just opened, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the old man who was squinting and napping would actually speak.
"It's all here, why don't you talk to me, an old man?"
Boom.
The back door was shut.
Without hesitation, Ye Qiong turned around and ran forward.
At this moment, something strange happened, obviously he was running forward with all his might, but the surrounding scenery did not change at all.
In the blink of an eye, he was back in the church.
It was as if the act of running away was nothing more than an imaginary event.
His gaze was once again on the old man who was leaning back on the bench and closing his eyes, the strange trick just now must have come from this guy's hand.
Ye Qiong tried to summon Aponias, but found that he was unable to establish contact with him at all.
His connection to Apoñas is so deep that the only way to do so is to pull him into an unfamiliar territory and cut him off from him.
With the ability to do something of this level, this old man's strength is at least above the sixth order.
Ye Qiong couldn't help but say secretly at this time:
"I'm in trouble."
This time he didn't choose to escape, because he knew that this was the other party's domain, and even if he escaped, it would be useless.
"Who the hell are you?"
He didn't choose to go closer, but stayed near the back door, keeping a relatively safe distance.
"Spencer Quint, another name that might be more familiar to you."
The old man tilted his head, and his originally squinted eyes opened, which were a pair of extremely black snake vertical pupils, just by being looked at, Ye Qiong's hair stood on end.
"The Immortal Serpent."
Hearing this name, Ye Qiong's pupils suddenly widened, this name can be described as thunderous, he didn't expect that this immortal snake would come so quickly, and he came to the church to guard him without him noticing.
Spencer saw Ye Qiong's vigilance, like an old man who cares about his juniors, and said with relief:
"Don't worry, young man, I'm not going to do anything to you."
As he spoke, his eyes moved to the window, as if he were looking at the moonlight outside the window.
In fact, only he knew that what he was looking at was the desperate knight who had been guarding Calvis.
"After all, even I don't have the ability to kill people under the nose of a god."
After saying this, he laughed as if sarcastic:
"The gap between the sixth and seventh orders is not ordinarily large.
Don't worry, I just want to see you and talk to you this time. That's not too much to ask, isn't it? ”
When he said this, Spencer's tone was extremely lonely, like a lonely old man trapped in a village, who rarely saw a person to talk to and wanted to talk to him.
For this seemingly reasonable request, Ye Qiong wanted to say "NO" decisively, but unfortunately Spencer didn't give him room to refuse at the moment.
"Come and sit down and talk, young man, if I'm not mistaken, you should be called Calvis."
After saying that, he patted the vacant place next to him, and then the expression on his face was very easy-going, but the words revealed an attitude that could not be refused.
Ye Qiong also understood that even if he escaped from the church again, this old man would have other ways to get him back.
Although he was very reluctant, he still sat down next to Spencer.
"You're extraordinary."
That was the first thing Spencer said to him after he sat down.
"No, I'm just a normal person."
"Ordinary people?"
Spencer looked a little scoffed at this, and he turned his head sideways to look directly into Ye Qiong's eyes.
"You have a lion in your eyes."
Hearing this, Ye Qiong subconsciously wanted to touch his eyes.
"I'm just using an analogy, young man."
After that, I didn't know where to take out a wishing grass, lit it, put it in my mouth, and took a sip comfortably.
"This trip is really not wrong, and the person who can be favored by the desperate knight is really not so simple.
How about it, have you considered coming to the sequence search group?
Don't look at the old man like this, I am also one of the Seven Prophets, and I also have a little say in the sequence search and arrest group.
If you are willing to join, I assure you, your position in the Sequence Raid is below the Leader and the Seven Prophets. ”
For the so-called Seven Prophets, Ye Qiong has secretly investigated, the seven of them have different genders, ages, and living environments, and they have been guided by mysterious forces to meet in the same place.
They didn't speak a word, but they knew that they were the chosen ones, and Spencer, the undead serpent, was one of them.
As for the leader of the sequence search group, Ye Qiong only knows one name at present, that is Matilda Norma, as for whether he is a man or a woman, even some high-level leaders of the sequence search group do not know.
Ye Qiong pretended to be thinking, and after about a minute had passed, he said his answer:
"I refuse."
"Is it because of the White Snake? Rest assured, you and him don't have a deep hatred, besides, if you are willing to join the sequence search team, the task of recovering the Eye of the Sky Dome will also be completed, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone,"
"It's not because of that."
"What's that, don't you want revenge on the Empire? It's better to have your back on an organization than to fight alone. ”
"I don't believe you."
Ye Qiong said his reason very bluntly.
"I only know a little about the Sequence Search and Capture Group, and I don't know anything about you, so why should I join a force that I don't know anything about?"
Spencer took a puff of wishing grass and let out a long exhale.
"So that's it, let me ask you, what kind of organization is the Sequence Search Group in your eyes?"
Ye Qiong lowered his head, and after thinking about it for a while, he recalled the practice of reincarnating the white snake twice, and said his answer:
"Unscrupulous organizations for the sake of collecting sequence capabilities."
