Chapter 278 Top Secret Documents

……

After the intruder left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not because they were afraid of a conflict with the other party, but it was inevitable that both sides would be embarrassed to meet in this place. Moreover, the other party was an ambassador of a country, and provoking political disputes would not benefit them as outsiders.

On the other side, the elves who had been guarding the villa also completed the real-time translation for them-although the voice was a little intermittent during the communication, at least Xia Fan and others knew the purpose of the visitor.

These people wanted to find the whereabouts of Tiandao in the recording department.

"What exactly is Tiandao?" Luo Qingqing couldn't help asking.

"No one has seen it, so naturally no one knows it." Only Qianyan could answer this question on the field. "People have different views on it. The big one thinks it is the entire sky, but there is an entrance in the human world; the small one thinks it is a gem with the Xumi universe inside. If you add the descriptions of other foreigners, there will be more-some say it is a ship, some say it is a cup, and even an oil lamp. But in fact, whether it exists or not is a question mark."

"Has this search lasted for hundreds of years?" Xia Fan pondered.

"No, maybe longer. A magical thing that can allow people to reach the other side of true knowledge, understand the truth of all things, and satisfy all human wishes. Such a legend should be considered something that has existed since ancient times."

"It's just that people used to look for themselves, and for a long time, they lived in peace. Until the kingdom continued to expand, the news also spread, and it was no longer limited to internal circulation. Some people also tried to find the other party's "heavenly way" outside."

"This is something that has never been recorded in the book." Luo exclaimed softly, his tone full of joy at the increase in knowledge.

It turned out that the Central Plains had contact with the outside world a long time ago, Xia Fan thought, but after the collapse of the Yong Dynasty, such contact fell into a freezing point. When they contacted again, the six countries had become the passive party.

He thought of a key issue.

"Is there a deeper reason for the six princes to rebel against the Yong Dynasty? Or is it just because of Yong Wang's cruelty as described in history books?"

"I can't answer you on this point." Qian Yan shrugged, "Maybe there is a reason, but the Fang family didn't know it at the time. The reason why the Fang family was willing to follow Ning Taizu was precisely because of Yong Wang's brutal rule. For an emperor, his achievements in magic are indeed unparalleled in the world, but he has never regarded ordinary alchemists as human beings..."

Even the Qi Sensing People are nothing in this person's eyes? Xia Fan was secretly shocked. No wonder the alchemists would stand with ordinary people and eventually overthrow this unified dynasty.

"What should we do?" Li asked.

"Let's pass the news to Xin Wu first." Xia Fan decided after thinking about it. Sooner or later, the Privy Council will know that these people have been to the Record Department. It makes sense for them to plunder this place under the pretext of finding out the truth, but it is very suspicious if they see the enemy but don't report it. Besides, the fact that the Privy Council and Jinxia City are at odds does not mean that these foreign envoys are friends - they certainly did not plan this assassination to save the people of Daqi.

This information was passed on by Li through the ventilation skylight.

Half a day later, Xinwu's note was brought back to Xia Fan.

Through these handwritings, he could see the other party's excitement.

"Sir, your discovery is definitely worth a fortune! Not only did we find out where the enemy came from, but we also proved the innocence of the entire Privy Council! Your Highness was right."

"As for the secrets you mentioned, I don't know. If the Heavenly Dao is really important, then it shouldn't be hidden in a secret compartment. But one thing is certain, we can't let the other party search the Recording Department recklessly - no matter how deep the secret is hidden, it will be dug out sooner or later without anyone's care."

"Sir, can you find a way to delay the progress of the island country's envoys' search? Six days... no, five days will be enough. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's house arrest cannot continue forever, and I will also find a way to pass the news to the palace. Everything is up to you!"

"In addition, please be careful and try to avoid direct conflicts with the island envoys. According to the Privy Council, this person's strength is difficult to guess. I think neither the Second Prince nor Lord Qian wants you to be hurt."

"That's all the content of the letter." Xia Fan put away the note.

"So in the end, we still have to stop the foreigners?" Li snorted, "I don't want to work for the Privy Council."

"But if you refuse, it will be regarded as betrayal in a sense." Luo said gently, "I have been to the Privy Council in Jingji, and I know their way of doing things. Even if they don't say it on the surface, they will find a chance to settle accounts later."

"We will have left Shangyuan City by then."

"I think we can't let them do this." Qianyan was the last to speak, "After all, these archipelago envoys are not from the mainland. If the secrets of the Heavenly Dao fall into their hands, it will not be good news for the six countries."

"Well... the play has come to this point, and it must continue." Xia Fan made a decision, "But we will not stand in front of the Privy Council and deal with the ambassadors of the archipelago face to face. It is not guaranteed that we can delay it for a few days. It all depends on the luck of both sides."

"Have you thought about what to do?"

"Yes, aren't they looking for all the clues related to the Heavenly Dao?" He nodded, "Then we will give her a few clues."

...

The next night, Olena came to the underground core of the Record Department again.

This time, her subordinates soon made a new discovery.

"My Lord, this book - mentions something that seems to be the Way of Heaven!"

"What did you say? Bring it to me and have a look!"

Olina took the book and her heart started beating wildly when she saw the page.

What kind of record is that!

There were large sections of words in the text that were erased by ink, as if they wanted to bury this unspeakable secret forever, and the very little information it revealed also made people feel chilling.

"September 5, the sixth year of Tianfeng."

"————was sent to Shangyuan and the first test was conducted in ————. The test goal is to open the gate of heaven that transcends reality and illusion."

"The test person————————————————————disappeared, along with a side hall of the Privy Council. Afterwards, ————————was dealt with."

"To ensure safety, ————was transferred to ————to continue the second test."

"October 6, the sixth year of Tianfeng. The test person was found. The whole body is skeleton————, only the epidermis is intact. The place of discovery————, one mile away from Shangyuan City 125 miles."

"In the next 30 days, several more alchemists died one after another. Before they died, they all said they heard a voice from————."

"Not only people, but the test site itself seems to have been affected."

"The wooden wall pillars decayed at an unusual speed, and the bricks and stones turned into powder, as if the time here was——————"

"————Too dangerous! The experiment is temporarily suspended."

"On November 19th, the 23rd year of Tianqi, the sealed site was changed and moved out of Shangyuan City. The new location is————."

Olina raised her head suddenly. November 19th, wasn't it just a month ago? It means that the things described in the records are likely still near Shangyuan City!
