The Academy of Light in the palace of the City of Gold was in charge of the safety of the floating island and even the royal family. This time, Lucy went to the Eternal Night Star. Therefore, the Academy of Light set up an emergency response team to provide technical support for the princess and her team when needed. Every hour, the coordinates of the four starships would be fed back, and the data would be automatically entered into the Imperial Court's database by the artificial intelligence system. As it wasn't classified information, the coordinates were only classified as Level 1. Even so, only people above the director level were qualified to read it.
Baron Ye Ka, who was a small director in the Academy of Light, happened to be qualified. He was the nephew of Marquis Rowan, and he used his power to leak Lucy's whereabouts. Of course, Rowan did not tell him what his intention was, otherwise, Ye Ka would not dare to do this.
The baron, who was dealing with daily affairs, did not have time to rest for a while before he received a secret message from Rowan. Looking at the request in the message, Ye Ka frowned. After a few beeps, he opened the AI and logged into the database interface. After a few necessary procedures, he got the latest coordinate data of Lucy and her team. Not long after he sent the data, the AI indicated that there was a considerable amount of income in his private account, which made Ye Ka's frown loosen.
In less than five minutes, the starship that was fully loaded with mercenaries on the Eternal Night Star received the latest coordinates. Iru scratched his bald head and said, "The nobles are quite efficient. Then, what are we waiting for? Let's move, b * stards."
The starship turned into a rainbow of light and flew away.
A few gravel rolled to the ground, knocking out a desolate echo. Lucy walked down the stone bridge and frowned. Beside her, Marquis Main did not have that kind of warm smile on his face. He turned on the AI light screen on his wrist, and the light screen was full of messy lines. Marquis Main sighed and said, "Electronic equipment can no longer be used here. The geomagnetic disorder here is too serious. Even communication is disturbed. Don't walk too far, in case you get separated. "
Not only communication and electronic equipment were disturbed here, but even the perception of Lucy and the others became chaotic here. If they closed their eyes, they could not even feel the breath of the people next to them.
"Everyone, please follow me closely after we enter the Imperial City. If they were not careful, they would easily get separated, so they had to be as quiet as possible. There are still Night Demons roaming around in the Imperial City. I don't think they are the kind of people who are hospitable. "Morudo made a gesture and walked in front.
Lucy and Main followed behind him, Angeloni at the back, and the other soldiers spread out to maintain a defensive formation. After crossing the stone bridge, one could see the city walls and gates of Suraka. No matter how glorious this city had been in the past, now, sections of the city walls had collapsed on the ground, and even the city gates had disappeared into the rubble. The people could only see piles of rocks, and with the wind and sand blocking their eyes, Surakha was like a huge and desolate tomb that welcomed their arrival.
After climbing over the pile of rubble and entering the inner part of the Imperial City, the desolation and the likeness of the people formed a huge contrast. From afar, one could still imagine the magnificence of the city from the silhouettes of the ancient buildings, but only when one truly stepped into the Royal City would one realize that Suraka had almost been buried in the dust of time. The so-called streets could not be seen in the city as the roads were buried in sand. Only the upper half of the building remained, and the lower half only revealed the top one or two floors, like a bungalow in a desolate town.
The ancient building was filled with the strange style of an alien civilization. Obviously, the aesthetic standards of the natives of Eternal Night Star were clearly different from those of Adahua Planet. At the very least, Lucy couldn't see anything beautiful about the spikes and the awkward doors and windows. No matter what, these buildings were like skeletons in the desert. They only had bodies left, and their souls and bodies had long since decayed.
The buildings were crooked, and some of them were even directly next to each other. Ruins could be seen everywhere. Lucy, Ma Yin, and the others only saw ruins, but Morudo's eyes lit up. From time to time, he would pick up some small items from the ruins and carefully throw them into his collection box.
As Morudo muttered to himself with a metal disc in his hand, Lucy interrupted him helplessly, "Mr. Morudo, please don't forget our goal. I absolutely respect your research spirit, but now, I think it's more important to get to the Temple of Zheka as soon as possible. Can you tell me how long it will take to get to the temple? "
Morudo glanced at her and squatted down. He drew a circle on the sand beneath his feet with a finger and said, "The natives of the Eternal Night Star worship the circle. Of course, this pattern that represents perfection is worshipped in many planetary civilizations. To put it simply, the Imperial City of Surakha is a huge circle, and the streets within it are big circles encasing small circles. "
The scholar drew a few circles and then pointed at the central area. "The Temple of Zheka, their spiritual symbol, is located in the middle of the Imperial City. The terrain of the Imperial City is the highest at the middle point. The further outside, the lower the terrain. The Imperial City has multiple platforms. It can be said that each platform is a block. They seem to be divided into classes by platform. The more honorable a person is, the higher the platform they are assigned to. As for the temple, it is undoubtedly on the highest platform in the middle. It is worth mentioning that Suraka's Imperial Palace is a platform shorter than the temple. It seems that royal power is still below divine power. "We can imagine that when this capital was glorious, the priests of the temple must have received unparalleled respect."
Ma Yin listened and gestured to two soldiers. The two soldiers understood and climbed up a tall building nearby. After a while, they came down and pointed to the west. "Sir, there seems to be a mountain in that direction. But the sandstorm is too strong, and the equipment is not working, so we can't observe it carefully."
Morudo nodded and said, "What you see should be the Sacred Mountain Yatos. It is behind the Imperial Palace, and its peak is the highest platform in Suraka. The Temple of Zheka is located there."
Ma Yin narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we'll determine the direction and go straight."
"In theory, yes." Just as Morudo finished speaking, a shrill scream that made one's scalp go numb suddenly rang out from a building above them. The scholar looked up and saw a grayish-white figure crawling out of a pitch-black window of the building. That thing was hanging on the wall like a gecko. It let out another scream and quickly swam down. Morudo took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Is that the Night Demons? Impossible, they have never appeared at the edge of the Imperial City. "
