The four powerful and powerful people on the stage all took their seats. Soon, the First Princess also arrived late, and curtsied to everyone before taking her seat.
There was also a handsome bronze-skinned man, dressed in the royal silver attire, who walked up to the stage and sat with everyone. Obviously, this was the rumored Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince looked confident, and exchanged glances with Grand Duke Cody, before sitting down with a graceful smile. At the same time, he nodded politely to everyone present.
Garon sat on the left side of the curtain, and the two seats around him were unoccupied.
He was happy to be free, leaning back in his chair with his fingers crossed, looking like he was watching a good show.
The seats below were mostly filled as well. The doors to the theatre slowly closed.
Bam!
A circle of silver patterns spread out from the surface of the white arched doors, and quickly spread along the surrounding walls, spreading throughout the interior walls of the theatre.
In an instant, the vibrations in the whole theatre became one.
The middle-level nobles below were slightly agitated, but quickly calmed down.
"Kovitan's Second Great Council! Officially begin!! "The herald roared.
As the voice rang out, the whole theatre slowly quieted down.
Benoc smiled slightly, and tapped his finger on the long white table in front of him.
Bam bam!
"Everyone, quiet. Quiet! "
Everyone in the theatre instantly quieted down, and everyone's attention was focused on Benoc.
"Yesterday, our great King Alric of Kovitan, unfortunately passed away, and the Empire rang the royal bell. But the dead are gone, and we who are still alive have to continue to consider the important matters before our eyes. "He spoke slowly and clearly, trying to make sure everyone understood what he meant.
"Here, everyone seated here, are people who did not give up on the Empire at the most dangerous moment. I am here, representing Her Highness the First Princess, to express her gratitude to everyone. "
Benoc stood up, and solemnly bowed slightly towards the people below.
Whoosh …!!
Thunderous applause rang out from below.
After a few minutes, Benoc finally straightened up.
"Here, we are gathered together, and everyone's goal is to help the Empire survive this crisis. Three … "
Bzzz!!!
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, as if there was an earthquake, and the whole theatre kept shaking and shaking.
Benoc steadied himself, and although he was interrupted, his face showed surprise.
"It's here!!"
Grand Duke Cody stood up. He looked up at the sky.
The center of the ceiling of the entire theater began to slowly rotate and part like a blooming flower. A huge circular hole appeared in the center, revealing the afternoon sky outside.
The sky was golden red.
The setting sun dyed the white clouds in the sky red. Between the red clouds, a straight silver-white beam of light cut through the sky.
Chi!
The beam of light broke through the clouds, leaving behind a clear white line as it flew into the distance.
Countless clouds swirled around the traces left behind by the beam of light. Some tiny white light spots fluttered in the air and sprinkled down like raindrops.
"God bless the Empire!" Benoc was the first to shout.
"God bless the Empire!!" Cody yelled.
"God bless the Empire!!!" Immediately, the First Princess, the Fourth Prince, and all the nobles in the audience all stood up and shouted enthusiastically.
Although he wasn't sure what had happened, the direction of the beam of light was the direction of the West Farm's defensive line.
Previously, due to the self-destruction of General Jobas of the Empire's Impregnable Wall, the attack of the sea of monsters was temporarily delayed. Plus, there were many monsters, and they weren't fast, so the Kingdom wasn't attacked.
But everyone was panicking because of this. Before the sea of monsters even arrived, more than half of the people in the Kingdom had already run away.
And now, this sudden beam of light that shot into the sky, just by looking at the reactions of Benoc and the others, they knew that this was very likely the Empire's final trump card.
Garon stood up with the crowd. He didn't shout, but simply lip-synched.
He looked up at the beam of light. Just the traces of waves left behind by it could stay in the sky for so long without dissipating, and even stretch across the entire Kingdom's sky, reaching tens of kilometers!
This kind of power, indeed far surpassed the level of a single Form Four peak.
After the crowd's frenzy continued for a while, Benoc finally calmed everyone's emotions again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Kovitan's final barrier, Lord Caeserton, has finally been truly activated." Benoc announced loudly, "The final protection of Caeserton was actually meant to completely merge with the previous king, Hanison. Before His Majesty Avic died, he used his own life as the price to completely activate the true power of Caeserton as the Original Heirloom. For this part of the situation, it's best to let the First Princess, who understands the situation the most, explain. "
The First Princess stood up at the right time, her expression serious. She was dressed in white, with a black veil tied around her hand, looking like a pure black rose.
"Caeserton is Kovitan's biggest secret, and also the most crucial core that my father has been researching for his entire life. This Original Heirloom, isn't what outsiders think it is, simple to activate, but powerful. "
She paused, and glanced below. She could faintly see some greedy gazes.
"Every time Caeserton is activated, it consumes all of the inheritor's life force. This time, the price is my father! "
As soon as she said this, the entire crowd below was shocked.
Even Garon, who was sitting on the side, was shocked. He didn't think that activating Caeserton's power would have such a high price! At the same time, he also realized why Benoc and the First Princess would choose to announce this secret.
Obviously, this was to put an end to the ambitions of Obscuro Society and the other people behind the scenes. A Heirloom that required the inheritor to use all of his life force to activate, what was the use of it, no matter how powerful it was?
Moreover, Caeserton had already been merged with the previous Emperor of Kovitan, and no one could tell what the situation inside had become. Instead of having ideas about this thing, it was better to set their sights elsewhere.
"That beam of light just now was the result of the previous Emperor hearing His Majesty Avic's request, and officially activating Caeserton's power, throwing it all at the sea of monsters in the West Farm defense line." Cody explained in a low voice. Obviously, he didn't want the First Princess to be in the limelight.
The Fourth Prince quickly stood up.
"Father once mentioned that Caeserton's power is enough to completely cover the entire Kovitan Kingdom, as well as the surrounding five hundred kilometers. It can last as long as thirty years. So, we are completely safe now! "
"Pardon me for asking, but can Caeserton's power really resist the endless army of monsters in their nests?" A tall and sturdy middle-aged man below stood up and asked.
This person's aura reached Form Four, he was obviously a Form Four powerhouse!
Obviously, he was the representative of the small alliance formed by the various large guilds. They didn't have peak powerhouses like the Grand Duke Garon and the others, and their status was mostly unpresentable, so naturally, they didn't have the right to sit in the highest position. But among the mid-level nobles in the underground, there were quite a few of them.
"Of course, that's for sure. Caeserton had once resisted the North's Ice Storm for as long as ten years, it was recorded in history. "The Fourth Prince calmly replied.
"They are all Original Heirlooms, but why aren't the other powers' Original Heirlooms as strong as our Kovitan's?" A child stood up, wearing a black cloak, and asked seriously like a little adult.
Garon, who was sitting at the side, was drinking fruit juice to moisten his throat, and when he saw this child, he almost choked on the fruit juice.
This kid was the child of his Red Team member.
He still looked the same, wrapped in black clothes, only revealing a pair of black eyes, and his body was still surrounded by a strange aura.
How did this guy sneak in! He actually didn't follow the Secret Service?
Garon was speechless, he wouldn't forget that this guy was actually a cold-blooded killer just because he was friendly to him.
Ever since that big strawberry, he realized that strange things would often happen around the child.
Hurriedly swallowing the fruit juice, Garon waved at Kid.
"Well, the cost and the reward are directly proportional." The Fourth Prince was answering Kid's question. But he saw this guy retreat into the crowd, as if he was invisible, and disappeared.
At the same time, behind Garon's seat, a small head suddenly popped out, it was actually Kid who was below the stage just now.
Suddenly, there was a slight commotion below the stage.
A hint of surprise flashed through the eyes of the other three powerhouses on the stage, but they didn't reveal anything.
The Fourth Prince and the First Princess were also people who had seen all kinds of strange abilities, and after a pause, they continued to answer the questions below the stage.
"Why didn't you leave?"
Garon whispered to Kid behind him.
"You didn't even leave, you still owe me money." Kid said matter-of-factly. "Of course, the main reason is, I realized that you're better than them …" Suddenly, his voice stopped. Like a duck that was suddenly stuck in its throat, he completely lost his voice.
Garon turned back to look at him in confusion.
He saw Kid with his mouth wide open, his black eyes like an unfathomably deep abyss, staring dead in Grand Duke Cody's direction.
Following Kid's gaze, Garon was momentarily stunned.
Behind Grand Duke Cody's seat, just like him, stood a little girl in a red dress who wasn't even as tall as the seat.
The little girl was completely wrapped in a red cloak, only revealing a pair of blood-red eyes, dressed very much like Kid.
The little girl's pale calves under her dress seemed to be bloodless, she was barefoot, and her skin gave off a strange feeling that it was bloated and about to rot.
Just like Kid, the little girl was also staring dead in his direction.
Suddenly, a thick stream of blood slowly flowed down the inside of the little girl's right leg, down her thigh, to her calf, all the way to her ankle, and just as it was about to touch the ground, Garon's vision suddenly blurred.
He blinked, and found that the stream of blood had just disappeared.
Garon looked straight at the little girl's head.
She suddenly pulled up her mask, revealing a fair, delicate chin and blood-red little mouth.
Eh!
The little girl suddenly stuck out her little tongue at Garon.
This should have been a playful and cute action, but after the little girl stuck out her tongue, it didn't retract, but grew longer and longer, and longer and longer.
The originally pink tongue actually turned blood-red, all the way down, falling to her chest, abdomen, lower body, legs, and then like a snake, coiling up to the little girl's right shoulder from behind, the tip of her tongue peeking out from her shoulder.
"Gurgle gurgle …"
The little girl seemed to be just making a cute face, but Garon didn't find it cute at all. He just felt a terrifying aura of danger surging towards him.
Suddenly, a small figure in a black cloak blocked in front of him. Completely blocking off all auras.
It was Kid!
