Chapter 313 312. In a Nutshell: Where to Go? How Many to Kill?

After the investiture ceremony, the royal family will hold a banquet, where nobles of all sizes will socialize or conduct transactions.

But for Mo Cheng, the conferment ceremony has ended. Going to a banquet to deal with other nobles is very low in the priority of Mo Cheng's events. He has at least three or four other things on hand than dealing with other nobles. More important things.

After dealing with the farce at the investiture ceremony, and exchanging polite greetings with a few familiar nobles, Mo Cheng was taken to a remote place by the palace maid.

It was an exquisite garden. Although it was not large in area, it could be seen that it had been carefully trimmed and arranged.

Princess Misas has been waiting there for a long time. Black tea and snacks are placed on the small round table in the garden. It seems that today's things will be more important.

As for how Mo Cheng could tell, there were few guards around, and even Princess Misas had only one maid to watch. What was going to be discussed next was probably not suitable for letting too many people know.

After placing two cups of black tea in front of Princess Misas and Mo Cheng respectively, the maid waited at a distance in a sensible manner while ensuring that no one would sneak up and try to pry into anything.

In addition to serving the princess, the maid also has the responsibility of being a personal bodyguard.

“The tea leaves shipped from Tocopia are made using unique local techniques and then fermented during the long journey. The resulting black tea has a unique aroma.”

After listening to Mishasi's introduction, Mo Cheng was not polite to the other party. He picked up the black tea and drank it in large gulps. At the same time, he also cleared the snacks on the plate in three or five mouthfuls.

The knighting ceremony took a long time, and Mo Cheng already felt hungry.

As for issues such as etiquette in front of the princess, Mo Cheng didn't think that the other party would have any delusions about his etiquette after seeing him devouring food on the desert island.

After clearing away all the afternoon tea refreshments and resting his stomach a little, Mo Cheng half-closed his eyelids and asked in a low voice: "Are Queen Caroline and Prince Charlie trapped?"

Princess Misas's closed hands tightened suddenly. It was obvious that Mo Cheng's words guessed part of the truth, but she soon loosened her closed hands and said, "Do you know?"

"I don't know, but I can guess." Mo Cheng filled the tea cup and continued to explain in a low voice, "Queen Caroline usually presides over the knighting ceremony. Even if the queen is busy with more important things, she should let Cha Prince Lear is here to preside.”

"And this time, I am the one who is knighted. Although I don't want to show that I am important, my combat effectiveness and ability have been fully proven. Her Majesty the Queen cannot risk giving me a bad impression by letting the princess Your Highness, come and preside."

Queen Caroline and Prince Charles are in good health and, judging by their longevity and health, are in the prime of life. At this age, Queen Carolyn may arrange for Princess Misas to do certain tasks to train her, but she will not delegate particularly important powers.

This time it was Mo Cheng who was knighted, and he even killed Ichiquil under the eyes of Queen Caroline and others. No matter what, Mo Cheng has already gained people's attention in terms of personal strength.

Under these conditions, it is normal for Queen Caroline to personally host the investiture ceremony.

Of course, if the knighting ceremony was just hosted by Misas, this would not arouse Mo Cheng's suspicion. After all, it is possible that Queen Caroline despised him and felt that there was no need to host it in person.

But Princess Misas's whisper in his ear when she was knighted, plus her own invitation to him for an interview, were enough for him to smell something unusual.

A kind of twists and turns, the smell of a puzzle that can only be solved by the criminal investigation consultant wearing a deerskin hat and smoking a pipe in 221B Baker Street.

"Mother, she is indeed trapped by something, so I just received the message from her today, asking me to preside over the knighting ceremony."

Mo Cheng had guessed everything, so there was no need to hide it. Moreover, Misas invited Mo Cheng over this time just to inform the other party of the matter and ask for help.

"There is something unusual happening in the Black Prison. Mother is controlling the Central Royal City to suppress it. She will not be able to move freely for half a month."

After Princess Misasi's explanation, Mo Cheng learned what happened.

[Dark Prison] is where the monsters that emerged from the sinkhole during the [Collapse Incident] lived. It is a demiplane between the material and the underground world. The living environment inside is harsh and there is no light. , there is thick smoke, poisonous fog, and animals and plants struggling to survive everywhere.

If you can survive in that kind of place, no matter what kind of animals and plants you have, they will be full of aggression and reproduction.

Once upon a time, [Dark Prison] was a different space that randomly appeared in the surface world or the underground world and opened the door, and rushed out of countless monsters destroying everything indiscriminately. When the [Dark Prison] opened the door, it happened to be in Fairhaven. , opened just below the central royal city.

The queen at that time directly suppressed the central royal city, blocking the gate and fixing the [Black Prison] underground in Fairhaven.

[Black Prison] was imprisoned for who knows how many years by the unlucky crackdown just because of a door-opening accident. Anyway, as long as the country of Aundair is still there, [Black Prison] basically can't even think about escaping. It will be done as soon as you sit down. Hundreds of years in prison.

When the [Earth Shaker] was activated last time, the tightly suppressed Black Prison moved its position, giving it the ability to open a gap under Fairhaven.

Queen Carolyn naturally knew that there was a disgusting thing hidden under her capital hundreds of years ago, so after discovering that a gap had opened in the [Black Prison], she immediately controlled the central royal city to try to block that gap. superior.

After all, the top of [Black Prison] is the capital Fairhaven. If there is any damage to the capital, she, the queen, will be nailed to the pillar of shame. She has suppressed things for hundreds of years. But it happened that something went wrong during your term. Others will only think that this is the queen's fault.

Princess Misas gave a detailed introduction to the current situation, but Mo Cheng heard that she didn't mean that.

[Black Prison] = fixed different space = fixed copy.

The internal environment is harsh, the monsters are ferocious and numerous, full of aggression = there is environmental DEBUFF, the monsters are strong, numerous, and have a strong desire to attack and will not escape.

A crack has appeared in [Dark Prison], and Queen Caroline is suppressing it and trying to fill it.

Mo Cheng is very familiar with this kind of story. Most of the time, the more something needs to be blocked, the more likely it will not be blocked.

The introduction of [Black Prison] also reminded Mo Cheng of his favorite dungeon that kills everyone without stopping.

"Do you need my help?"

Mo Cheng looked closely into Mishasi's eyes and asked, "If there's anything I can do, don't worry and let me handle it."

He was worrying about the whereabouts of the [dungeon], and now there was such a dungeon that he judged to be his favorite type. There was no way Mo Cheng would miss it.
