Chapter 312 Who Is the Prisoner?
"Lord Ryan, what's wrong?"
Green Lake asked in a low voice. She felt a little strange about Chu Ming's reaction.
Chu Ming stared at the city of the royal city, which had an attraction to Qingque, and slowly said:
"The royal family once conducted a six-month investigation of evil god followers in the royal city."
"I thought there should be no trace of evil god followers in the royal city, but I never expected that the gray fog roots would be hidden in the royal city."
As he said this, he showed some concerns on his face.
"The blasphemous evil chose the royal city for blood sacrifice, so what is the purpose of the gray fog roots?"
"How did it avoid the royal family's search and enter the royal city from the suburbs of Sauron City?"
Green Lake followed Chu Ming's thoughts and thought, she said uncertainly: "General gray fog monsters have no wisdom, only instincts, and will not do lurking things."
Green Vine suddenly thought: "Could it be that this guy was injured, so he hid here."
Green Lake rolled her eyes at her. "Gray fog likes places where earth veins converge, such as mountains, forests or mines. Gray fog doesn't like this kind of human city with only dirty sewers."
"That's strange."
Chu Ming murmured.
"Could it be that the gray fog didn't come here on its own?"
After thinking for a long time, Chu Ming still had no definite answer in his heart. He planned to drive the blue bird into the city to find out the location of the gray fog.
In any case, the appearance of gray fog in the royal city is only good for the Brick family, not bad.
At least in order to deal with the gray fog, the royal family will be busy for a while.
Maybe they can take the opportunity to weaken the power of the royal family with the power of the gray fog...
Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Ming's mind, and he controlled the blue bird to fly towards the city gate.
The reason why he didn't fly directly over the city wall into the city was because he sensed the power of the magic circle.
The royal family used the entire city as a base, buried the magic circle pattern underground, and created a super-large magic circle.
He didn't know what this magic circle did, but it was better to be careful.
"Miss Lu Teng, do you have any way to change the form of the blue bird, or make it less conspicuous?"
The blue bird is translucent and emits a faint fluorescence. Once this strange form enters the city, it will probably attract the attention of many residents.
"Change the form?"
Lu Teng flew to Chu Ming and thought about it carefully.
"How about turning into a bee?"
A dazzling light bloomed in her palm, and the streamer faded from the blue bird, and its body became smaller and smaller.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The transparent wings flapped, and the yellow little bee fell from the sky to the avenue.
Chu Ming moved his mind and controlled the bee to fly to a group of fruit and vegetable carts transported by a caravan.
The bright red tomatoes covered the sight of Chu Ming and his group like a mountain range. They could only tell where the caravan was going by the color change of the light in the gaps between the fruits.
The carriage bumped forward, and after a few minutes, the light around them became dim, as if something was blocking the sunlight.
"It should be entering the city gate."
Chu Ming waited quietly for a while. After the shadow of the city gate disappeared, he controlled the bee to fly out of the carriage and appeared on the street.
"Where did the bee come from?!"
A passerby's annoyed voice sounded, and he picked up a broom to hit it.
Fortunately, Chu Ming was quick and ordered the bee to flap its wings desperately and climb up, leaving the busy street and entering the alley.
The alley isolated them from the bustle of the street. They were finally safe. Lu Teng couldn't help but pout and complain, "The humans here are too fierce."
Chu Ming sensed the direction of the gray fog and turned back to Lu Teng and asked, "Can you turn the bees into mosquitoes? Bees are still too conspicuous."
Lu Teng shook his head desperately, "I hate mosquitoes."
"Uh, is there anything you don't hate?"
Lu Teng hesitated and said, "Insects always bully my little tree. They are all annoying."
"But I can make the little bee change a little."
The girl snapped her fingers, and the light overflowed. The bee became smaller, the "buzzing" sound of the wings flapping became weaker, and the black shell emerged from the light, wrapping the bee into a murderous black warrior.
"That's it."
Chu Ming reluctantly nodded.
He estimated that the two sisters of Luhu rarely did this kind of infiltration work, so even if they had the spell to condense creatures, they would not be able to use it.
"Let me see."
Chu Ming controlled the black bee to fly towards the guidance in the dark.
After flying through the streets and alleys for a while, he suddenly found a problem.
"It seems that this direction is heading to the city center."
"Is the gray fog in the city hall?"
Chu Ming's eyes flashed with doubt.
After flying for more than ten minutes, before reaching the city center, he stopped in front of a magnificent building several dozen meters high.
Lu Hu asked curiously: "Where is this?"
Chu Ming shook his head. In fact, this was his first time in the Royal City. He knew no more about the Royal City than Green Lake and Green Vine.
"Let's get some information first. I suspect the gray fog is in here."
He controlled the black bee to fly carefully to the crowd and listened to the conversations of passers-by.
A woman dressed as a noble lady asked, "Sir, haven't the Knights of the Temple come back yet?"
"How can it be so fast? Even if the crisis of the Violet Principality has been resolved, it will take a long time to come back."
The woman worriedly said, "My son also followed the Knights of the Temple to the Violet Principality. I don't know when he will be back. I hope he is safe."
The man seemed to be a staff member of the Temple. He just shook his head and walked towards the direction of the Knight Temple.
Green Lake sat on Chu Ming's shoulder and asked curiously, "Lord Ryan, what is the temple?"
While controlling Black Bee to follow the man into the temple, Chu Ming replied, "The Knight Temple is where the royal family trains royal knights. Most of the epic knights in Clinton Kingdom come from here."
"I didn't expect the gray fog to be hidden in the temple."
Chu Ming was solemn and followed the man into the spacious training ground in the temple.
The sun was shining, the training ground was vast, and there was no end in sight. Hundreds of knights were training.
Chu Ming's eyes swept over them. Most of these knights were below epic. They should be young knights in the temple. They were not qualified to follow the Knights to the Violet Principality, so they stayed in the temple.
"Wait a minute, Lord Ryan, that man's breath is very strange."
Green Lake suddenly spoke and pointed her finger to the northwest.
"Strange?"
Green Lake's perception range was much farther than his. He looked over and didn't find the strange man she was talking about.
"Let's go and take a look."
Chu Ming controlled the black bee to carefully bypass the knights in training and came to the temple corridor at the end of the training corner.
He looked into the corridor and saw two knights talking.
When he saw the appearance of one of the knights clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Pedro?"
Why is he here?
And there is indeed a strange smell on him.
After the legendary battle that took place on the outskirts of Sauron City, Pedro was seriously injured and sent back to the royal city for treatment. After that, he never returned to Sauron City.
Chu Ming was also fortunate for this. He was really afraid that after Pedro returned to Sauron City, he would arrange a princess for him.
And this old man is too unreliable. His vision of judging people needs to be improved. He brings everyone to Sauron City.
The first time was blasphemy against God, and the next time, it is not certain what kind of evil god incarnation it is.
In fact, there is no grudge between him and Pedro. On the contrary, Pedro is more like his elder. It's just that the man's tough attitude in marriage makes him unhappy.
"What is this strange breath?"
Chu Ming stared at Pedro and fell into deep thought.
This strange breath was actually sensed by the black bee. If he came here in person, he would not find anything unusual even if Pedro stood in front of him.
"Is it related to the gray fog?"
This thought popped up in Chu Ming's mind, and his thoughts could not stop rushing like a flood.
The green vine on his left shoulder nodded carefully and said, "My spell can only sense the breath of gray fog. Black bees will feel that this breath is strange, which means it may be related to gray fog."
Chu Ming hesitated and said, "Could it be the breath left by the gray fog when Pedro fought with the gray fog roots before?"
Green Lake shook his head and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but my intuition tells me that this person is very strange."
"Huh..."
Chu Ming felt the position of the gray fog.
"Let's find out the exact location of the gray fog first. This is the most important thing."
Green Lake and Green Vine nodded and agreed with Chu Ming's words.
The black bee flew aimlessly in the air for a while, and then flew towards the direction of the palace.
A few minutes later, the black bee entered the palace, got into an empty conference room, and flew to the table.
Chu Ming wondered: "The gray fog is clearly here, but there is nothing here. It's really strange."
"Could there be a basement here?"
Green Vine looked around and finally pointed underground.
"I remember that you humans like to build those dark basements the most."
"It's possible, but where is the entrance to the basement?"
Chu Ming flew several times in the conference room but couldn't find the entrance.
He controlled the black bee to stop on the bookshelf and was about to ask Green Lake and the others what they found.
Lu Hu suddenly said, "Someone is coming. It's the strange man from before."
Chu Ming's heart tightened. He controlled Black Bee to crawl into the gap between the books on the bookshelf, leaving only his head exposed, and observed the entire conference room motionlessly.
"Squeak..."
The mahogany lattice door was pushed open, and Pedro, with an expressionless face, walked into the conference room alone on the red carpet.
"What does he want to do?"
Chu Ming was puzzled.
Pedro looked around, then pulled out a chair and sat down, as if he was resting his eyes.
Chu Ming and the other two did not dare to move, and looked at Pedro quietly.
The meeting room was extremely quiet. After more than ten minutes, Pedro suddenly opened his eyes. He quickly stood up, walked up to the attic skillfully, and came to the bookshelf.
"Oh no, did he find us?"
Chu Ming was shocked. He did not move, but continued to observe Pedro's movements.
Fortunately, the man did not pay attention to them, but just picked up a book on the bookshelf and started reading.
Before Chu Ming could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a slight vibration, and then the vibration became more and more intense. There was a mechanism hidden in the bookshelf, which slowly pushed the bookshelf to both sides, revealing a dark corridor.
Pedro did not seem surprised by this. He calmly closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf, and walked straight into the corridor.
After the books were put back in place, the bookshelf vibrated again and gradually closed.
Chu Ming hurriedly controlled the black bee to fly out of the bookshelf and rushed into the darkness.
"Boom..."
The bookshelf, like a huge door in the eyes of Chu Ming and the other two, slowly closed, blocking out the light.
The entire corridor was extremely dark and things could not be seen clearly.
Lu Teng whispered proudly: "Look, I said there was a basement."
Chu Ming nodded unconsciously, and his mind was all on Pedro.
He said solemnly: "Is Pedro really related to the gray fog?"
"Or maybe he has long discovered Princess Katie's identity as a god and deliberately used meeting me as an excuse to lure Princess Katie out and use the gray fog to deal with her."
Chu Ming took a deep breath.
"Anyway, Pedro is really inseparable from the gray fog now."
"Mr. Ryan..."
Lu Hu called softly.
Chu Ming came back to his senses, "What's wrong, Miss Green Lake."
The woman said shyly, "Let's go quickly, it's too dark here, I'm a little scared."
Green Teng laughed softly, "Sister is most afraid of the dark."
Chu Ming nodded and controlled the black bee to fly down the corridor stairs.
The whole corridor was terribly silent, without a sound, and the darkness drowned the whole world.
Chu Ming controlled the black bee to continue flying down for half an hour, and suddenly an orange-yellow fire came into view. They left the corridor and entered a basement.
"Roar!"
A faint roar came from a distance, and Green Teng's little ears moved, and she said in surprise: "This is the tone of the gray fog monster, it is really here."
"This place is not simple."
Chu Ming flew cautiously to the depths of the basement and entered a corridor paved with stone bricks.
"Dong Dong Dong..."
The neat footsteps sounded in the corridor, and a team of knights in black armor patrolled over.
Chu Ming hurriedly controlled the black bees to lie on the wall, waiting for the knights to leave.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
After the knights left, Lu Hu looked unhappy. She whispered, "Mr. Ryan, these knights, like the legendary knight just now, have a strange aura on them."
Chu Ming was stunned and controlled the black bees to fly in the direction of the gray fog monster's sound.
"Let's go in and see what these people are doing."
The black bees flew along the torch light to the end of the corridor, and they entered a hall with magic crystal lamps.
In the hall, knights in black robes gathered together, talking in pairs, and occasionally looking at the wide underground cave in front of the hall.
Lu Teng seemed to see something and pointed at the underground cave. She hurriedly reminded, "Sister, Ryan, look quickly."
Chu Ming controlled the black bees to fly towards the cave, and then his mind was shocked and he saw an incredible scene.
In the center of the underground hole, the gray fog gathered into a vortex and kept stirring. A knight gray fog monster hundreds of meters tall roared and raised his long sword to swing down.
"Clang!"
Countless thick chains flashing with magic patterns appeared. The gray fog knight struggled to straighten the chains, and the sword could not be swung down.
Lu Hu covered his mouth, unable to hide the surprise on his face, "Humans imprisoned the gray fog monster?!"
"No."
Chu Ming's face was extremely solemn, and his eyes looked at the looming and graceful figure under the gray fog sword.
"I saw the blasphemy, Princess Katie."
