Mount Saint Lucia, headquarters of Monster Research Institute.
A dark mountain path meandered like a snake, leading straight to the top of the mountain. On the square at the top of the mountain, there were statues of all kinds of ferocious monsters. It was like a different world. Some familiar monsters, such as the Splitter, the Demonic Dragon, the Bat Voice, and other legendary monsters, were in different postures, looking down at the mountain path outside the square. Anyone who came here from the mountain path would have a terrible feeling of being stared at by many monsters.
Behind the sculptures of these ferocious monsters was a dimly lit building. No matter how bright the sky was, this place was always gloomy and silent. All the light seemed to be absorbed by the sculptures in the square, leaving only a gloomy atmosphere.
One of the buildings was filled with books. It was the library of the Monster Research Institute. It was the place where the director stayed all year round. It was more like an office than the council hall.
"Director, the palace has sent a letter." A shadow wearing a dark purple robe and a silver-gray hood quietly came to the basement of the library. He whispered in front of a four or five meters long curved desk.
A silver-haired old man wearing a brown scholar robe and presbyopic glasses was sitting on the desk. He was holding a book with a dark red cover. There was a string of letters on the cover of the book. If Dean saw it, he would recognize that it was old English. The silver-haired old man was frowning and concentrating on flipping the book. It seemed that he was reading the contents inside.
Hearing this, the silver-haired old man raised his head and glanced at the shadow. He took the letter that was handed to him. This letter was in the style of a confidential letter. He took the wax and shook open the letter to read it. Slowly, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. "The palace was attacked?"
The person shrouded in shadows said in a low voice, "I have also just received news that the palace has been attacked. Currently, the situation in the palace is unclear. The invaders are still waiting inside. Her Highness Ulita's whereabouts are unknown. Does this letter ask us to go and reinforce them?"
"So that's how it is." The silver-haired old man's fingers trembled. He passed the letter to the torch and burned it to ashes: "The letter isn't from Her Highness. It's from the person who attacked the palace. He said that Her Highness colluded with the intruders outside the giant wall to create chaos. The loss of the god's corpse was planned by Her Highness. Oh, this person is really thick-skinned. He just drove away little Ulita and then convicted her.
The shadow seemed relieved: "So the person who attacked the palace wasn't the intruders who robbed the god's corpse. I didn't expect that there would be someone who took advantage of the situation. Director, should we help Her Highness Ulita get rid of this person?"
The silver-haired old man put down the book in his hand and muttered, "The palace is guarded by Commander Yamos and little Ulita. Both of them are masters of the Inner Barren. This person was able to defeat them and make it difficult for little Ulita to match him. This means that he is also a master of the Inner Barren that is more difficult to deal with. If little Ulita's" Light Chaser "magic mark was ranked on the Sylvia Divine Wall, it would probably be on par with the Demonic Dragon Zhe. The person who can defeat her is at least at the level of the Dragon Mother who has not activated the power of the Ice Demon. With our current strength, even if we want to help, we are unable to."
The shadow understood and nodded: "This person has been dormant for a long time. He attacked when we were at our weakest. He should have prepared for a long time. He is really a despicable villain!" The silver-haired old man put down the book in his hand and said: "Commander Yamos and little Ulita are in the palace. Both of them are masters of the inner wilderness.
The silver-haired old man nodded and said indifferently, "But it's precisely because he's despicable that he succeeded. We don't have to worry about this matter. It's very likely that the Invaders are still hiding here. From the success of the last bait plan, we can see that these Invaders won't let this matter rest. They will most likely seek revenge and slaughter everyone here. This is the most troublesome matter."
The shadow was stunned: "They haven't left? How is that possible? It has been more than a month and there is no news from them. Aren't they in a hurry to go back? "
"If they have left with the god's corpse, then the next few days won't be so peaceful." The silver-haired old man suddenly thought of something: "I don't think it will be long before Her Highness comes here to ask for help. I won't see her then. She is used to acting like a spoiled child to me. I can't refuse her face to face. You should talk to her. Let her wait for her father to come back and rest here for the time being."
The shadow nodded: "Director, since you know that they haven't left, why don't we take this opportunity to take back the god's corpse?"
"It's too difficult." The silver-haired old man sighed: "We have tried our best. Let's leave the rest to fate. If it doesn't work then we can ask the Kingdom of God to send another one. But we will have to suffer in the meantime."
…
…
The secret letter from the royal family spread to the nobles' territories in various cities. Now that the corpses had subsided and the secret letter was sent by limitless individuals, the speed of transmission was extremely fast. The news reached the hands of all the nobles in half a day.
"Dean? Who dares to call himself the wall lord? "
"He wants us to help in the arrest of the princess? Ridiculous!"
"Her Highness colluded with the invaders to steal the god's corpse? Hehe, a load of nonsense! "
"This person's surname is very strange. There doesn't seem to be any of the three major families with this surname. He should be in control of the palace since he sent the secret letter. According to the letter, the whereabouts of the lord is unknown. Her Highness has been brave and good at fighting since childhood. She is on the same level as the old guys in the family. But she can't do anything to this person.
It's strange! "The nobles in various cities were in an uproar after they received the secret letter. They contacted each other to confirm the authenticity of the news. Soon they unified the source of the news and shared the intelligence network that the earl had placed in King's city.
When the news came back, the nobles were in an uproar again. They didn't expect that the palace would really be occupied without anyone knowing, and the princess, who was the rightful princess, was now a wanted criminal!
Even the army had posted wanted posters in the streets and alleys of King's city!
All of this was too sudden and too fast. All the nobles felt like they were in a dream.
"Let me participate in the enthronement ceremony? Hmph! Wishful thinking! "
"Go and find out who this Dean is and where he came from."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Dean had his breakfast in a warm and luxurious dining room. He estimated that the buffer time given to the nobles was almost up. It was time for them to show their attitude.
