Chapter 576 Inside the Palace

Morning Glory City, in the palace garden.

Otto Losi and Oro Tokat sneaked behind a rockery.

Of course, it wasn't completely sneaky—at least when they entered the palace area, they passed the gate openly in front of the guards. As long as they don't go to the restricted area of ​​the palace, their actions will not be hindered in any way. All the guards know that the Rossi and Tokat families have always been loyal supporters of the royal family, and they will also become the ministers in charge of the grand prince after they take over the family.

"Hey, are you really going to do this?" Otto couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

If the Castle of Morning Light, where the Lord of Dawn often haunts, is considered a restricted area, then the bedroom in the castle is considered a restricted area within the restricted area. And they happened to know a secret passage from the garden to the bedroom—this narrow underground passage should be one of the several secret escape passages in the palace. They explored it together with Andrea and Prince Ampey when they were young. It serves as its own secret base, and occasionally holds a small party in it.

Of course, they were only about ten years old at that time, even if His Majesty Moya found them, they would at most scold them. But now that the two of them are adults, what will His Majesty think if they sneak into the bedroom privately again?

"Please, the three families join forces to find out the reason why An Peiyin has become strange. Isn't that what you proposed?" Auror curled his lips, "Now that it's a critical time, you actually want to back down again?"

"I..." Otto opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.

"However, I really admire you. You actually use Andrea's recent situation to talk about Mrs. Quinn. If it weren't for the fact that you were her playmate since childhood, if you were someone else, I think the old man would be the best!" What I want to do is to kill and silence people." Oro looked around while talking, "Now is the best time to know the truth, are you going to do it or not?"

After hesitating for a moment, Otto gritted his teeth and nodded.

Because the news revealed by Earl Quinn is really surprising.

Ever since His Majesty fell ill, the Eldest Prince has often received an alchemist in the palace, and he would also invite those visiting the sick out of the palace. It is said that His Majesty can wake up for one or two hours every day, which is due to the man's use of special medicine to suppress the serious illness. Andrea's father, as the imperial minister, naturally had the opportunity to enter the palace to ask His Majesty about political affairs. He had seen the alchemist once, and the other party was actually a young woman, and her whole body was covered under a black veil. All that could be seen was her dull, silver-gray pupils.

After hearing these words, Otto suddenly thought of the church.

If he hadn't been to Graycastle, he wouldn't have thought about it, but after seeing Roland Wimbledon, he heard the news about the church secretly cultivating pure people and attempting to overthrow the regimes of the Four Kingdoms, accumulating strength to meet the doomsday war It has taken root in his heart.

In the end, he still did not tell Earl Quinn the information. After all, the matter had a great impact, and he had to confirm that his guess was correct before making a next decision.

Knowing from the earl that the alchemist will appear today, Otto immediately thought of this secret passage that he often visited in childhood.

Since it is impossible to get the support of the eldest prince, he can only find the truth in this way.

Seeing him nodding, Oro immediately took action—push away the knee-high weeds, and used a dagger to pry up a cover plate disguised as an ordinary stone behind the rockery, and the rusty iron railing soon appeared in front of the two of them. . This fence is about the length and width of an arm, and can only be opened from the inside with a key, but this is not difficult for the two people who have already prepared.

Oro took out a glass bottle from his pocket, lifted the lid, and poured the yellow-brown liquid in the bottle onto the lock.

There was a burst of choking eyes, and the railing that was stained by the liquid made a sizzling sound, like butter thrown into a hot pan.

This is exactly the molten iron prepared by the alchemist of Glory City. A fist-sized bottle costs more than a dozen gold dragons, and the process is not as claimed by the other party, which can turn iron into a pool of black water in the blink of an eye, and pour it out completely. For two bottles, the lock was shrunk twice before it fell off the railing.

Immediately, the two bent down and climbed into the entrance of the cave. Oro did not forget to turn around and close the stone slab.

After climbing a dozen or so steps, the passageway was a little wider, allowing people to stand and walk. Otto expertly groped for the oil lamp hanging on the wall and lit it with a flint. The faint light illuminates the stone walls and the vaulted ceiling - after leaving here for more than ten years, the secret passage still remains in its original state, as if time has stopped here. When passing by the rest room halfway, you can still see them Mats and wine glasses dragged in for the party.

As the road curved back and forth and climbed upwards, Otto Rossi knew that he had entered Dawn Fortress.

The walls of the castle are divided into two layers, inside and outside, like sandwich bread slices, and the empty part in the middle is reserved for secret rooms and secret passages. When the two reached the end of the secret passage, it was like coming to the back of the fireplace in the bedroom of the palace.

Since the organ had to be opened from the bedroom, they couldn't directly enter the bedroom, but through the small gap in the trap door, they could roughly see the scene in the bedroom. And if it is quiet enough, you can still hear the voices of people in the room talking.

Otto extinguished the oil lamp and moved his eyes to the slit.

The fireplace was facing a large bed, and the one lying on the bed was the Lord of Dawn, His Majesty Digan Moore. And the eldest prince An Peiyin walked back and forth by the bed, looking a little anxious.

The two looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and carefully leaned on the stone trap door—obviously His Highness was waiting for the alchemist to come.

After about half an hour, there was finally a new movement in the room.

They immediately turned their heads and squinted.

I saw two women walking into the bedroom, one of them was the black gauze alchemist mentioned by Earl Quinn, and the other was probably the alchemist's assistant, carrying a satchel, wearing a red and white robe and cloak, with A beautiful golden curl.

"You are late!" An Peiyin said displeased.

"I'm sorry," the golden woman rubbed her chest, "Something happened on the road, and I wasted a lot of time."

"What are you talking about, just let his father wake up," the man in black gauze replied coldly, "It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

"You can't say that, we still have to rely on the help of His Royal Highness," she took out a green porcelain bottle from her bag, "Maintaining a harmonious relationship is good for us, isn't it?"

"Give me the medicine," An Peiyin took two steps forward, but was stopped by the man in black yarn.

"Have you forgotten our agreement? This medicine has to be fed by me to be effective, and in exchange, you must meet Your Majesty's request."

Your Majesty!

Otto was shocked. He would only use this honorific when addressing the Pope. Was the other person really sent by the church?

He couldn't help biting his lips tightly. In this way, the two people in front of him are not alchemists at all, but the legendary pure ones? 8
