Chapter 81 - 81 Mountain Cluster Palace

81 Mountain Cluster Palace

Golden Lion City, the Myriad Pupil Palace.

First Prince Chapman’s eyes were bloodshot. His expression was extremely haggard as he walked towards the Three-eye Study.

He wanted to report the death of his third brother, Alesia, to his father.

In order to show that he was sad enough although he was secretly happy, he smoked his eyes when he really couldn’t cry.

Now, his eyes were red, and he kept blinking. Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and he was full of sorrow.

In order to show the special status of the Crown Prince, His Majesty Joerger granted the right to see Chapman at any time.

On the way, the guards saw Chapman’s sorrowful expression. They thought that something big had happened and no one dared to stop him.

Chapman opened the door of the study and cried out in grief and indignation.

“Father! Alesia is dead! He died so miserably! He was killed by Ning Shi, the City Lord of Duohuang City!”

“I want to avenge Alesia, but I’m afraid that it will have a bad influence. Father, what should I do? Please give me some pointers!”

Chapman’s heart was broken but the study room was empty. His Majesty Joerger was not here.

His crying stopped abruptly, and he put on an act for the air.

At this moment, His Majesty Joerger was in the deepest part of the Myriad Pupil Palace.

Mountain Cluster Palace.

This was the restricted area of the Brad Empire. Apart from the king, no one else dared to come here.

After Joerger entered the hall, dozens of tall figures were already sitting on both sides of the hall.

Some of these people were experts from the royal family, some were former royal swordsmen, and some were former kings.

When one’s bloodline reached Level 9, one’s lifespan could reach 300 years.

These people were all top-notch experts with Level 9 bloodlines. They were also the foundation of the royal family’s development over hundreds of years.

Facing these seniors and experts, Joerger didn’t have the aura of a king. He was like a child, standing respectfully in the middle of the hall.

At the very top was an old man with a head full of silver hair and wrinkled skin.

The old man’s eyes were long, narrow, and deep. His nose was curved like an eagle’s hook, and his face was shaped like a donkey’s. He had a fierce look like an eagle looking at a wolf.

“Joerger,” he said coldly. “The origin treasure suddenly went berserk and split into another origin weapon. We didn’t catch it, so the origin weapon disappeared.

“Do you know what this means?”

Joerger knew the secret of the origin treasure. In order to preserve his power, he would only split one origin weapon at a time, and the origin weapon would choose the chosen one to complete the mission.

Now that another origin weapon had been formed, it meant that the Lionheart Blade had been destroyed!

Alesia’s operation had failed.

As the one who planned the operation, he had to bear the responsibility for its failure!

Instead of defending himself, Joerger knelt on the ground and spoke honestly.

“Please calm down, ancestor. I’m willing to accept the punishment.”

The old man sitting at the top was the leader of the Mountain Cluster Palace and Joerger’s great-great-grandfather, Joseba Ryan, the 25th king.

Joseba snorted coldly.

“Joerger, you’re too cautious and like to use political tactics in everything. You don’t know that the truth of the world is still more powerful than whose fist is bigger!

“When you were fighting for the throne, the path I pointed out to you was for you to go to the Elven Empire and exchange for the blessings of the sun and moon god. You’ll be able to cleanse your bloodline and strengthen yourself and your subordinates.

“But you got together with Silverdew and used her power to seize the throne.

“According to our original plan, the Lionheart Blade’s appearance was to choose you as its host, but you said that your identity was sensitive and that it was not as convenient as Alesia’s.

“Now, Alesia lost the Lionheart Blade!

“Without the origin weapon, our plans will have to be changed! If the Lionheart Blade didn’t have a requirement on the user’s age, I would’ve f*cking done it myself!”

Joseba was really angry and began to curse.

As the leader of the Mountain Cluster Palace, Joseba had great prestige. When he was angry, everyone kept quiet out of fear.

The hall fell into silence.

After a long time, Joerger said bitterly, “Ancestor, according to the instincts of the origin treasure, the origin weapon must still be in the Brad Empire. I’ll order the entire nation to be monitored and find the whereabouts of the new origin weapon as soon as possible.

“Give me three months. If I can’t find the origin weapon in three months, I’m willing to give up my throne and wait for the ancestors’ judgment in the mountains.”

After Joerger finished speaking, the old man sitting at the very bottom was Joerger’s biological grandfather and teacher, Casey Ryan.

He opened his mouth to plead.

“Grandfather, there was nothing wrong with Joerger’s plan. Alesia’s death was just an accident and can’t be completely blamed on Joerger.

“The current situation is very tense, so it’s not appropriate for us to send out a large number of troops to attack Duohuang. I’ll personally go to Duohuang and bring back Ning Shi’s head.”

Seeing that Joseba still did not speak, Casey, who had not been in the Mountain Cluster Palace for long, braced himself and asked.

“Grandfather, since we can monitor the whereabouts of the origin treasure, why don’t we just find a suitable candidate to become the owner of the origin treasure?”

Joseba didn’t say anything, but a strong old man sitting on his right side said.

“The origin treasure won’t recognize a master.

“A thousand years ago, when the origin treasure first appeared in the world, it was obtained by the Beastman God, Guevsh. He tried to devour the original power of the origin treasure, and the treasure was almost destroyed by him.

“At the critical moment, the origin power backfired on Guevsh, and Guevsh fell.

“The origin treasure was also frightened by this, and it instinctively hid after obtaining freedom.

“Even though we know where the origin treasure is hiding, we can only look from afar and not get close.

“As long as you get close, it will disappear.”

It was Casey’s first time hearing such a secret. He sighed and said, “Guevsh was too hasty. Otherwise, he might have become the Supreme God.”

When he heard this, Joseba, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth and said with disdain.

“What god? They’re just a group of false gods controlled by their divine titles. Can a creature that can’t even control its emotions be called a god?

“True gods are three in one, and they are undying and imperishable.”

As if sensing that he had spoken too much, Joseba said, “Let’s do as Joerger said. We have to find the origin weapon within three months.

“Compared to the super magical beasts, humans are at an extreme disadvantage. We must use the origin weapon to unify the Moen Continent at the lowest cost. Only then will we be able to counterattack the magical beast continent and achieve the great cause of mankind’s independence!

“As for Ning Shi, who killed Alesia, Casey, go and investigate his background. If necessary, you can kill him.”

Ning Shi’s name seemed to have triggered some memories in Joseba. He thought for a moment and continued.

“If we can’t find an origin weapon, we’ll have no choice but to work with the gods to fight against the super magical beasts. However, this way, the human faith will be infiltrated by the gods.”

The strong old man who had just explained the origin treasure said, “Brother, don’t we still have your research? When your research is successful, even ordinary people will have extremely high combat abilities.

“At that time, we’ll definitely be able to defeat all our enemies who want to enslave mankind!”

Joseba didn’t say anything. He seemed a little tired and waved his hand.

Everyone in the hall left.

He walked to a corner, opened a secret passage, and walked in.

At the end of the secret passage was an underground palace that took up a large area.

There were hundreds of rooms in the palace.

A large number of dwarves, gnomes, and human craftsmen were working here.

Some of them were holding a tiny piece of iron and polishing it continuously, while others were waving a heavy hammer and hammering different metals into solid alloys.

There were also people gathered together, holding a blueprint in their hands and arguing.

Joseba walked into a warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of industrial parts. There were cannon barrels, wings of planes, and an assembled propeller.

If someone from Saturn walked into this place, they would definitely feel a sense of familiarity. It was the unique aura of the industrial civilization.
