Chapter 863: The Treasure House of Two "Copy"
Yongchen Palace was repaired and expanded on the basis of the Longxiao Palace of the previous dynasty in the later years of Emperor Knoeus the Great. Prior to this, the Dracor of the Yanlong Dynasty had multiplied in this luxurious court and the imperial capital surrounding the palace for nearly three thousand years, but they were almost wiped out in one night. As a result, during the thousand-year-long Warring States Period, none of the princes who completely controlled the imperial capital and the Seredithir region dared to enter this palace that should only belong to the Supreme of Auckland. They would rather build new palaces in the imperial capital or even outside the city, preferring to watch this historic palace complex dilapidated and grow grass. Perhaps it was because of the gossip that the wraiths of the Dracor family had turned the palace into a dead realm, or perhaps because the princes thought that their luck was not strong enough to be that strong, in short, before the birth of Emperor Knous, the palace became the largest ruin in the center of the city of Cyroxia, and even gradually became a land of small wild animals.
Emperor Knous, who had nothing to add to the country, naturally did not care about such feudal superstitions and gossip, and as a fierce man who had spent half a century in a high-intensity and fierce war, he was naturally a very thorough realist. Some people persuaded him to completely demolish Longxiao Palace and build the center of the new dynasty on the original site, but he was spurned as a "loser" on the spot.
Even the Great Emperor who has fought the demon gods on the street naturally doesn't care about this kind of gossip, even if Longxiao Palace has really become a paradise for demons and monsters, it's a big deal to open the wilderness again. As a level 100 emperor full of epic equipment, he said that at most, it is a level 30 team copy, and he can directly push it over by himself.
Thereupon. In this way, he took his whole family to live in it and officially became the emperor.
Of course. Working in the ruins is also a bit of a challenge to the psychological bottom line of most courtiers, and the emperor who has spent most of his life in the military camp can not be particular. However, the civil servants and bureaucrats, who were powerless, could not but pay attention to it. So, after several years of bombardment, he has always been stingy in his personal life, and the notoriously desperate for money Emperor Knoeus finally pinched his nose and frowned, allocated a part of the funds, and officially started the upgrading project from Longxiao Palace to Yongchen Palace.
In fact, due to the family style established by Emperor Knoeus, the previous generations of Auckland kings were actually more stingy and asked for money, and the renovation project of Yongchen Palace has always been a bit grinding. The duration of the project is more than two hundred years. It was not until the reign of Emperor Nigel II that the Hanging Gardens were completed, and Yongchen Palace was hailed as a model of modern court-style architecture and was hailed as the symbol of the Shengquan royal family.
Of course, as a realist, CrΓΈus the Great, since he had to spend money, he would definitely paint it in the most important places. The first project to upgrade and renovate the palace was the occult protection system designed by Empress Elena herself. The near-perpetual magic facility she designed not only resists the invasion of space magic, but also buffs the palace guards. It can also attack the Holy Light that unleashes a cluster.
Of course, the last feature needs to be presided over by a master of magic, and it has never been used since it was set up. It is said that a certain emperor who is very spiritual and morally clean believes that the range of these holy light rays can cover the entire imperial capital, and it is really unreasonable for the emperor to attack the people of the capital with holy light rays. If the Holy Springs are good governance. This kind of power, which can only be used to defend the palace, is not needed at all, and if it is tyranny, even if there is such a facility. The Dimahia family is also not stable in the throne. Therefore, the emperor asked the Pope at that time to semi-permanently seal this most powerful defense of the Yongchen Palace.
I have to say. The three views are very positive and idealistic. It's a pity that it's a little too literate. And we must also interject a digression, this very young emperor is Nerva III, the first emperor of the Holy Springs to die in a palace assassination. He has the nickname "Nioh", but it is clear that this nickname does not sound so lofty, and it is somewhat ironic about the meaning of Mr. Dongguo.
In addition to the magical defense system designed by Elena herself, the first phase of the construction of the Yongchen Palace is the private treasure vault that claims to be the most secret and safe in the world - the entire treasure house is built underground at a depth of at least 100 meters above the ground, the design is meticulous and exquisite, and the interior is as complex as a labyrinth, full of all kinds of traps and magic traps, it is simply stronger than any imperial tomb. Only descendants of the Holy Springs royalty who wield the "Children of Radiance" scepter are eligible to open the gates, and will not trigger the traps inside.
This is indeed a very puzzling thing. As we all know, at the beginning of the dynasty, Knous the Great established the financial system of the later empire - the private property of the royal and emperor was never the same as the treasury property of the empire. The national treasury of the Auckland Empire is located in the west of the imperial capital, and the treasure vault in the Yongchen Palace is naturally the place where the private treasures belonging to the royal family are placed.
However, this is the problem - Knous the Great was a miser who died asking for money, mainly because he used to be in command of the army, and he had to worry about military spending almost every day. Although he himself was born into a nobleman, his life was very unsophisticated, and he had almost no private property.
The sword and armor that accompanied him in battle were naturally treasures, and Empress Elena had some property in her own hands, but in any case, it was not enough to build such a huge treasure vault.
In fact, this underground treasure house, which is 100 meters deep underground and divided into four floors, was so empty for a long time that rats could starve to death. It wasn't until later emperors sat on the supreme throne for too long that private treasures slowly accumulated, which gradually filled this underground treasure house.
"I've always thought it was weird. But now that I think about it, if it's really to guard some demon artifact, then it's completely understandable. β
"I think it's easy to understand, you know, Canous the Great is also an orthodox RPG player. is obviously the second son of a marquis's family, but before he became the leader of the Dawn Alliance, he was an adventurer for nearly 10 years with Brother Paan and Sister Tido. This is simply the most orthodox RPG player setting, put it in my hometown. This kind of character is estimated to be sprayed to death by players whose appetite has long been raised! β
"So......" Karin guessed that Lu Xi was talking serious nonsense again, but she might be in a good mood at this time. actually squinted his eyes and asked seriously.
"Isn't that a matter of course? A true RPG adventurer, all a turtle-haired squirrel party. Well. Maybe your ancestor built that treasure house to house the 20 brooms and 50 wooden basins he collected in the Novice Village. After all, this is the stage that any budding has to go through, although it is a shameful and embarrassing black history, but it is always commemorative. β
Karin pondered for a long time and didn't understand, and suddenly felt that it was more reliable to punch the other party in the face at this time, but considering that the palace was full of servants and guards who were working, she could only let him go in annoyance for the time being.
The Emperor and his concubines, the princes and princesses who were already minors, now resided mainly in the western palace complex near the Harvest Hall. But that's after the Hanging Gardens are built. Prior to this, the royal family, including Emperor Knous, lived in the northern part of the palace. Of course, it has now been converted into a small library, a theater, a jousting arena, a racetrack, a swimming pool, and the like, and is a very well-equipped place for entertainment and exercise for the children of the royal family and the dignitaries who temporarily live in the palace (the emperors of the Dimahia family liked to invite guests to stay in the palace and the Bailu Palace outside the city).
The office and dormitory of Emperor Cnous were also located here, but they have been sealed up and used exclusively to educate young royal children in patriotism and imperialism. The guards there are all imperial guards who have been worshiped by the court for generations, and they are all selfless masters who do not recognize the iron face. Even last night, when the entire Yongchen Palace was made into a pot of porridge, I didn't see them come out to help.
If it weren't for the contemporary Emperor who wielded the three tokens of the "Shining Son" Scepter, the Imperial Seal, and the Emperor's Heraldic Ring, it would be impossible for this group of robot-like Kingsguards to let them go.
Karin is not currently the Empress of the Empire. But these three tokens are in his hands. The Imperial Seal was used by the emperor to stamp important letters and edicts, and was smuggled out of the palace by the old eunuch Varus and delivered to Karin. The heraldic ring was a token left from the time of Knous the Great, and was used as the emperor's private badge at that time; As for the history of the "Radiant Child" scepter, it is even older. It is said that the goddess of radiance gave it to Nerva, the second emperor of the griffin dynasty? Aurelius symbolizes the supremacy of humanity as the people of black iron - but there are still many human nations that do not recognize this. But it can still represent the supreme authority of Auckland. The latter two things are the world's first princess, Her Royal Highness, from the corpse of Uncle Iken. And what he got in his office.
Even if the guards guarding the door don't recognize their relatives, they are not machines that only know the procedure of admitting death. Facing Her Royal Highness, the world's first princess who was not yet the emperor, and Lu Xi, who was following behind to make soy sauce, entered the door, they saluted with reserved and respectful movements, and then let them go very happily.
It's a room that's been closed for a long time. Due to the restrictions of guards and rules, ordinary servants naturally could not come in and clean at will, so a thick layer of dust naturally accumulated. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard for Lu Xi to imagine that there was such a place in the glorious and magnificent Yongchen Palace. It's a great place to do some supernatural lore
Coming to the innermost part of the room, Karin gently knocked on the innermost wall, groping for a long time, and finally found a hidden new seal. She raised her hand and put it on the Emperor's coat of arms ring.
There was a "humming" sound on the floor, which caused the whole room to tremble, and with the turn of the machine spring, the floor finally barely opened a secret door. A bottomless underground passage leading to the depths of the earth was revealed.
"Well, that's a very classical unfolding." Lu Xidao.
"So, do you want to go down with me?" Karin asked, smiling.
Lu Xi looked at the holographic map - in fact, when they entered the room, he had already secretly opened the True Eye of the God of War - and found that there were no red dots on it, but there were many green dots representing neutral units or even friendly ones. After thinking about it, I realized that this was supposed to be a puppet guarding the treasury of the palace. Although the construction of puppets belongs to the realm of arcane alchemy, considering the relationship between the Emperor and his wife and the grandmother of the Great Sage, it is not surprising to come over and see the door.
"Let me explain first, won't we just step into the dungeon and suddenly jump out of a large group of super powerful metal golems wielding knives to play with us, right?"
"Huh? How do you know there will be alchemy golems here? β
"Guessed. In addition to traps and hidden weapons that guard the dungeon, moving guards are also indispensable. I've seen a lot of this discord in the tomb of the great sage in the Atlas Mountains. Considering that my grandmother-in-law and your grandmother, Her Majesty Elena, have a good relationship with each other, it is not surprising to give it to you as a gatekeeper. β
"Who is your grandmother and mother-in-law not on good terms with Lily?" Karin glanced at Lu Xi, and then said, "Don't worry, those big iron guys are still quite friendly, and when my grandparents brought me in to play, I used to ride them as big horses." Maybe they still know me. β
"It turns out that you also have the potential to become a robot and a traitor! But unfortunately, I personally feel that "I, Robot" and "Mechanical Public Enemy" are both egg pain products of the onset of Wenqing's disease. β
"I'm talking nonsense that everyone can't understand again!" Karin said angrily: "Don't worry, with me, the empress of the Holy Spring Royal, what else do you have to worry about?" Why are boys so unruly? You still dare to call yourself a pure master. β
"It's because of you that I'm not at ease! You are obviously not the empress yet, so arrogantly began to perform all the powers of the empress, the so-called flying and domineering Mu Monkey and crown, it is you. As an unfilial daughter of the Holy Spring Royal, who knows how much resentment those big iron bumps under the ground will have against you at once......"
Of course, we all know that all of the above is a pointless mouthpiece. In fact, Lu Xi and Karin knew each other that they were just relieving a little bit of pressure in their hearts by spitting out each other. Although they all knew that after the Golem was destroyed by Lu Xi, there should be no danger in the treasure house in theory, but the black history of the Holy Spring Royal did form a haze in the hearts of the two of them that could not be dissipated.
Since you feel that it is dangerous, why don't you find more friends to go with you? Lim and Nicole are still resting in their rooms, and Storm is returning from outside the city, so it's a big deal to wait a little longer.
"That treasure house may contain the secret of the Holy Spring Royal, but this secret can only be known to a very small number of people." Karin stared at Lu Xi and said in a reasonable tone, "I can hide nothing from you, but why should I let Miss Storm know?" β
Lu Xi suddenly realized that, in theory, Karin and those three girls really couldn't be regarded as friends. She and Lim are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, and Nicole barely has a bit of business dealings, and not only does she have no personal relationship with Hurricane, but the way the two meet for the first time is a vicious fight. In fact, the core of maintaining the peace between the girls is actually himself.
But to be honest, since the protagonist can let the girls live in peace, this is already very unscientific in itself.
Of course, as long as the issue of the Crystal Palace was mentioned, Lu Xi really had nothing to say in his innateness, and he felt that even if he raised his skillful tongue skill to level 99, he would still not be able to raise his head in front of the sisters. So he could only laugh and show his silence.
As a result, due to the "willfulness" of Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the World, this copy of the so-called Holy Spring Treasury was only faced by her and Lu Xi. This can be regarded as the thinnest copy of the human combat power that Lu Xi has experienced in his life, even he and Karin can be regarded as the main force of the team, but there are only two people, and even milk is not enough. If you really encounter an enemy, you must be very stretched, right?
Well, provided that if it's really a copy...... (To be continued.) )
