On the tall building of the palace, an extremely alluring figure walked in and bowed to the Northern King.
"Father. It's only been a few months, but you seem to have become much younger again … "
The princess revealed a smile. That smile brightened up the surroundings, and the scenery of the room also became lively.
"You're finally willing to come and see me. You must have stayed outside for so long that you don't want to come back …"
The Northern King snorted coldly, but he pretended to be angry. This king showed a rare fatherly expression in front of his beloved daughter.
In the royal city, those who were close to the Northern King knew that only this princess would be treated like this by the Northern King.
The other princes and princesses had always faced the stern face of the Northern King since they were young …
This princess was special from birth. Whether it was her appearance, talent, bloodline, or the fact that she could pull out that king's sword …
"How could I not want to come back? Wasn't I sent out by father?" The princess pursed her red lips and showed a wronged expression.
The Northern King's expression changed slightly, and he sighed. Suddenly, there was a sword hum, and the sword at his waist was unsheathed. It drew a ten-meter-long sword light and slashed at the princess.
The power of this sword had reached level six, and it was extremely sharp and tricky. At such a close distance, even a level six expert would find it hard to block it.
Buzz …
A long and thin sword had appeared in the princess's hand. The sword trembled, and sword flowers bloomed. They spread out layer by layer and offset the sharp sword force bit by bit.
Ding ding ding …
In the room, the sounds of weapons colliding could be heard. The walls were also pierced, and holes appeared one after another …
In the corridor outside, the guards had already moved far away. They were already very familiar with the meeting between the Northern King and the princess. This was a scene that happened every time.
After a while, the sounds of swords colliding disappeared. The Northern King stood there with his sword back in its scabbard. If not for the mess in the room, it would seem that he had not attacked at all.
As for the princess, there were two sword marks on her sleeves. Her hands were crossed in front of her, and it was as if nothing had happened.
"You're indeed my daughter. You've already grasped some level eight sword intent … If you weren't distracted by those unnecessary hobbies, you would have already grasped level eight sword intent …"
The Northern King first praised him, and then his tone became stern, reprimanding him for being more focused.
Princess was very obedient and said, "Teacher praised my mechanical talent and said that I'm a rare genius … If I focus on the mechanical field, I might become a master mechanic in ten years …"
"How can we believe the words of a little brat …"
The Northern King sneered. When he thought of the information he had received about his daughter's teacher, he found it hard to continue.
Changing the topic, he continued, "You're the Princess of the Northern Region after all, so you should put aside your hobbies. After this birthday banquet, you'll have to come to Royal City to help me."
"Yes. Father. "
The princess bowed. She already had a premonition about the King of the North's decision and was prepared for it.
"But … this birthday banquet won't be so easy …"
The Northern King turned around and looked out the window, gazing into the distance at the envoys entering King City one after another. His eyes turned cold.
…
Kacha Kacha …
In a VIP hall in Royal City, Lan Xiaomiao sat on a chair. Beside her were plates of various fruits, desserts, and delicious meats. The little fellow was looking at a light screen and gorging herself on it.
On the side, Little White Cow stretched out its big hand and poured plate after plate of food into its mouth. It had already poured almost a hundred plates, but it still showed no signs of stopping.
After coming out of the Sealed Domain, the changes on Little White Cow's body did not stop. Its body grew bigger, and its fur became more and more exuberant. Its appetite also became more and more astonishing.
There was a video call going on on the light screen. On the other side was Big Rat. Because this flame rat was too big, it couldn't enter Royal City openly. It could only stay outside and sneak in at night.
Now, Rat Big, who was outside the Royal City, saw his master and that little White Cow enjoying the food. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He was about to die from craving for food.
"Master, you must leave some delicious food for your loyal servant tonight …" Big Rat cried.
He had just hunted a few large beasts, and the meat was too unpalatable. It was not even one percent as delicious as roasted meat.
"Meow …"
The Blue Kitty agreed perfunctorily, but it was thinking that even if this giant rat could enter Royal City at night, it would be difficult for it to enter the palace! With such a huge body, the palace was heavily guarded. If a level-seven monster suddenly broke in, it would definitely be killed.
Looking at the rat servant's appearance, the Blue Kitty thought about it and did not tell it this tragic fact …
"It's okay. Brother Rat, I will bring delicious food to see you later … "
Little White Cow Harpoon was very friendly. This sentence made Big Rat immediately treat it as a confidant.
In the huge VIP hall, there was only a cat and a white cow. When the others arrived at the palace, they had various things to do and left one after another.
…
At this time …
In a garden in the palace, Hayashi River, Fowler, Mossy Bone, and others gathered together and were visiting the scenery of the Northern Palace.
This time, Hayashi River had come to Royal City openly. He represented the White Dwarf Kingdom and the Mechanical Beehive. His visit to Royal City was very legitimate, and he was a distinguished guest.
The group was divided into two groups. Hayashi River, Fowler, Mossy Bone, and the others were accompanying him in Shihaishan City, so they naturally followed him.
As for Bayun, Madam Butterfly, and the others, they were in the dark. At this moment, they were still outside Royal City with Big Rat, waiting for an opportunity to enter Royal City.
"The landscape of Royal City in the Northern Region is quite unique …"
Hayashi River glanced at the garden. There were not many bright flowers in the garden. They were all cold-resistant plants unique to the Northern Region, and it looked quite monotonous.
However, from this, it could be seen that the King of the North was not a person who liked to be ostentatious, which was very consistent with the rumors.
"Royal City has changed a lot compared to before …"
Man Hua, who was disguised as a human elder, looked at the surrounding scenery and muttered.
It had been a thousand years, how could it not change a lot?
Hayashi River and the others muttered.
At this moment, a group of people walked toward them. They were all young men with outstanding looks, dressed in luxurious clothes unique to the Northern Region. They brushed past Hayashi River and the others.
One of the young men suddenly raised his shoulder and bumped into Hayashi River. His burly figure squeezed over. In comparison, Hayashi River's figure was at least three times smaller. If they collided, the latter seemed to be sent flying.
Hayashi River frowned slightly. The strength of this young noble from the Northern Region was only at level-four, and in his eyes, he was as weak as a child. However, he suddenly displayed strength that surpassed level-four on such an occasion, and it was really eye-catching.
Bang!
Six Hands' figure flashed, and he was already standing beside Hayashi River, colliding with the burly young man. The latter cried out in pain and retreated.
"How dare you! How dare you be so presumptuous in the Northern Palace. Men, arrest this group of people! "
The burly young man glared angrily and loudly ordered the surrounding palace guards, saying that Hayashi River and his group had ill intentions, and that they had to be arrested and investigated.
The guards on both sides stood there motionlessly, as if they did not see the conflict at all.
"Viscount Manthe, this is a messenger representing the Mechanical Hive. If you have any misunderstandings, can you negotiate in private?" A palace steward hurriedly came forward and advised with a smile.
Hearing this, the burly young man and his group sneered and waved their hands to show that they were very magnanimous. Since they were guests of the White Dwarf Kingdom, then forget it.
Hayashi River's expression was slightly cold. He naturally did not care about these nobles from the Northern Region. However, they had charged over and even slandered his side. He was not prepared to swallow this insult.
In the Northern Palace, he represented the Mechanical Hive. If he made peace with them, it would raise suspicions.
Lin Chuan turned his head around and looked at Six Hands. The latter immediately understood what he meant and took a step forward. He did not release his saber qi, but a snow-white flower suddenly flew up from the garden. With a whoosh, it brushed past the young man's cheek, and a bloody gash appeared on his face.
Viscount Manthe was still sneering and did not notice this at all. When he realized that his companions were looking at his face with fear, he subconsciously touched it and found that it was covered in blood.
"Men! This guy wants to assassinate me!" Viscount Manthe screamed and pointed at Six Hands.
This scene frightened the palace steward to the point that his face turned pale. This was the Northern King's birthday banquet. If things got out of hand, he would be in big trouble.
The guards on both sides stepped forward and stood between the two groups of people, but they did not dare to attack either side.
With Six Hands' move, the palace guards knew very well how terrifying the man in the big hat was. Plus, with Hayashi River's identity, they could not afford to have any conflict.
Moreover, the guards could see very clearly that it was Viscount Manthe who had purposely caused trouble …
Under the palace steward's persuasion, Viscount Manthe glared viciously at Hayashi River and muttered, "After the banquet, we'll see …"
Looking at the backs of the northern nobles leaving, Hayashi River frowned slightly. These people were not worthy of his attention. What he was curious about was why there were people looking for trouble when he just arrived at the Royal City.
Beep beep …
Fowler's communicator rang. He opened it and looked, then leaned in and said, "These are the young nobles of the Royal City. They're looking for trouble because we're close to Prince Munte in Shihaishan City. Viscount Manthe and the others are on the prince's side … "
The rest of the companions suddenly understood. So this was the reason.
Hayashi River looked at Fowler. This guy had only been in the Royal City for less than half a day. How was he so well-informed?
"Two of my friends told me …"
Fowler smiled and turned to look at the other side of the garden. There, two northern beauties were looking over, smiling shyly without a trace.
Seeing this, the rest of the companions were speechless. It had only been half a day, and Fowler had already hooked up with two women.
"You don't understand … This is the best way to get information!" Fowler said sternly.
Best way?!
The companions snorted. He was probably getting information in bed …
Man Hua sighed and shook his head. He really could not accept that Cromwell's only descendant was like this.
"Let's go. I'll bring you to a good place. I'm afraid not many people in the Royal City know about it now …"
The Centaur elder turned around and walked out of the garden.
Hayashi River and the rest were a little surprised and followed.
…
Coming out of the garden, Man Hua and the rest were walking in a corridor. It looked like they were taking a stroll.
At the end of the corridor, the Centaur elder waved his hand, and a Psychic Force barrier spread out, covering the outside world.
Man Hua and the rest crashed into a wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This is a secret passage that the Northern King and I built when we were young. That guy probably didn't tell his descendants when he passed away …"
The Centaur elder muttered as he moved forward in a long and narrow passage. The architectural style here was very similar to the other parts of the palace, and there were doors on both sides of the passage.
Hayashi River and the rest noticed that the place they had just entered was a blind spot in the corridor. Coupled with the Psychic Force barrier, no one would be able to discover them.
"Senior Man Hua, what's in these rooms? Is it the palace's treasury? "Hayashi River asked.
Man Hua chuckled but did not reply.
Fowler muttered, "This place is really suitable for a rendezvous …"
Hearing this, the Centaur elder's figure moved slightly, and an unnatural expression appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Hayashi River and the rest looked askance at the Centaur elder. It seemed that Fowler's words had hit the mark.
Back then, the Northern King, the leader of the Centaur army, seemed to have led a very dissolute life when he was young. To think that in order to seek pleasure, he had created such a secret passage, and it was even in the palace.
Seeing that the gazes of the juniors were a little off, Man Hua coughed dryly and said, "We were still young then, and the hundred-year war was just the beginning. Who hasn't been absurd when they were young …"
The group of companions did not speak, neither agreeing nor refuting. This was a level-nine expert, and it was very likely that they would suffer a heavy punishment if they spoke against him.
Hayashi River nodded in agreement and sighed with some regret. After this trip to the Northern Lands, he needed to properly relax.
The group passed through the secret passage and came to a domed building, and the four walls were all mirrors.
Man Hua went in front of a mirror and pressed a button. Instantly, the scene of a certain part of the palace appeared.
"Is this a surveillance device?"
"This is not made with mechanical technology …"
…
Everyone was a little curious and walked forward. They found that this mirror was very strange and did not have any mechanical devices.
Man Hua smiled proudly, claiming that he and the previous King of the North weren't so bored as to build a place of pleasure. Their original goal was just to build a secret place, and at the same time, to gather information from various parts of the palace.
"You can also see a lot of exciting scenes …"
Fowler looked at the scene in the mirror and commented with the eyes of an expert.
Man Hua was stunned and glared at Fowler. How could this kid expose his secrets?
Turning on the mirrors one by one, they showed the palace garden, guest room, and various scenes in the palace. The function of the mirrors was very magical, and even sounds could be heard clearly.
In one of the mirrors, Hayashi River saw the Viscount Manthe not long ago sitting with a man in luxurious clothes, drinking and chatting merrily. As they talked, they even mentioned the mechanical beehive.
"This is the current eldest son of the Northern King, Pu En …" Fowler said again.
Seeing Viscount Manthe's face full of hatred and cursing him from time to time, Hayashi River remained calm and collected. He was secretly thinking that after the birthday banquet, he would directly get rid of this guy.
From the conversation between the eldest prince Pu En and his close officials, everyone could tell that the relationship between the prince and princess in the royal city was far from as gentle as imagined. Instead, it was very sharp in secret.
"This is the struggle in the palace. As long as the princess does not sit on the throne, this kind of struggle will not stop …"
"Even if the princess ascends to the throne, there will be a day when she abdicates. These princes and princesses may not have a chance without themselves, but that doesn't mean that their descendants will not have a chance …"
The group of people muttered. They were really not too interested in the struggle of the royal family.
Man Hua, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and scanned the mirrors, looking for suspicious people.
"Senior Man Hua … do you really think that there will be such a big change during the birthday banquet?" Hayashi River asked.
The elder of the Centaur Race nodded. He was extremely certain, and his expression was grave.
"You don't understand the significance of this generation's princess, nor do you know the significance of being able to use the royal sword …"
"There are not many people in the entire Northern Lands who know this secret, but the royal family of the Sea-Ao Empire will definitely know …"
At this moment —
In a quiet courtyard of the palace, a man and a woman walked quietly into a small forest. Then, the branches inside swayed, and from time to time, the man's roar and the woman's stifled gasps could be heard …
Man Hua's expression froze, and his originally solemn expression could no longer be maintained. He stared at the mirror with an ugly expression, and really wanted to kick the adulterous couple in the small forest away.
He was not angry about this kind of thing, but if he looked at it like this, wouldn't he be confirming what Fowler had said, that he could see "those exciting things" by building this place?
For a moment, the people in the domed secret chamber exclaimed in surprise, and all kinds of discussions sounded from time to time. Some were guessing the identity of the man and woman, and some were discussing the length of time …
It had to be said that sometimes when men got gossipy, they were actually not much inferior to women.
"That seems to be the fourteenth son of the Northern King … That woman seems to be the daughter of the Duke, and it is said that she is engaged to the son of an elder of the Centaur race …"
Fowler took the communicator and consulted his two female friends, and indirectly got the information of the man and woman.
Man Hua's face darkened, and his disguised face kept twitching. He could not hold it in any longer, and his true face would be revealed.
"These juniors are really getting worse with each generation …" Man Hua muttered with hatred.
At this time, the movement in the small forest stopped, and the fourteenth prince and the daughter of the Duke walked out as if nothing had happened. If it were not for the blush on the face of the man and woman, people would really think that the two of them just happened to meet.
In the mirror, watching the man and woman leave in opposite directions, everyone was shocked to find that the face of the daughter of the Duke had changed a little as she walked.
"This woman is wearing a disguise …"
Man Hua's face sank. This was the magic of these mirrors. Not only could they carry out surveillance, but they could also see through many clever disguises.
Watching the daughter of the Duke walk into a room, Fowler repeatedly urged Man Hua to quickly turn on the surveillance in the room.
"Do you think I have that kind of bad taste? I will monitor those private rooms … "Man Hua said angrily.
His companions secretly glanced at him. This old fellow's tone did not sound reliable. Perhaps it was surveillance, but he was too embarrassed to turn it on in front of the juniors.
The centaur elder repeatedly guaranteed that the private rooms in the palace did not have such surveillance.
Hayashi River controlled a mechanical bee and flew towards the room. Not long after, they heard the sound of conversation coming from inside.
Everyone frowned. The daughter of the Duke was in the room, and she was clearly using the communicator to contact the outside world.
"Sir, everything has been prepared. At the appointed time, the three passages of the palace will be unguarded …"
"Well done. During the birthday banquet, control the chess piece that is the fourteenth prince, and do not make any mistakes … "
…
The sound of conversation could be heard from time to time, and Man Hua's expression changed. The content of the conversation was not about the enemies they had expected, but a new mysterious force.
"Mister Chuan …"
Man Hua looked at Hayashi River, and the latter nodded in understanding. He ordered the [Moon Core] to activate the device to increase the detection strength of the mechanical bee.
The next moment, the scene in the room was transmitted through the mechanical bee's surveillance …
