Chapter 339: Full of Mysteries

"Isn't this a pure and foolish king?"

Sean came to a conclusion.

Bai Ye didn't even refute him - you know, this princess still cares about the reputation of the royal family. Just like Bai Zhan colluded with the mole, she still used to call him eldest brother. When Sean didn't have much respect for the emperor, she also Point it out often.

It can be seen that what the emperor did this time made many people dissatisfied.

"We are fighting on the front line, doing these things that waste people and money, but my godfather and other ministers didn't point it out? According to my godfather's character, I'm afraid he will have to quarrel with the emperor." Sean added.

Bai Ye said faintly: "We already had a quarrel, and we almost made a move..."

Sean: "..."

It is indeed a waste of life.

Bai Ye sighed: "The emperor's uncle strongly opposed it and even rushed forward, and the other ministers were almost the same. However, the father insisted on having his own way..."

Her eyes gradually dimmed a bit: "To be able to make my father not hesitate to fall out with his uncle... this can only mean..."

Sean shrugged: "If you're sick, go to the doctor."

The emperor of this empire is very famous, but now he has reached the point where he doesn't care about the war on the front line, national policies, or his children's struggle for power. He even thinks of building sick statues at this time, which can only mean one thing.

The emperor's deadline is approaching, and now it's time to try any method.

Bai Ye knew what Sean meant, and she frowned: "Now that the order has been issued, he will naturally be responsible for the suggestions made by the eldest brother. With my father as my backing, no one can stop it... I read it. The list of the first batch of materials is shocking. "

Sean pursed his lips: "There is no way, let him do it, I just don't know what your brother's main reason is for doing these things."

Bai Ye shook his head: "It's not a question of construction anymore. This is the first batch of lists. Take a look."

After taking the manual, Sean, who didn't care much at first, gradually narrowed his eyes. Finally, he flicked the manual and said speechlessly: "Is this building a statue? This is not building a country."

Bai Ye's words of 'shocking' are an understatement. The contents on this list alone are enough to build a huge city-state, and it also contains many extremely valuable materials.

"Whose statue can use a hundred energy core sequences?" Sean said speechlessly, "The empire's most high-end energy cannon uses three cores for one cannon, and an army of 100,000 people can only be equipped with fifty. Why, this statue is going to be used as lighting equipment for the entire imperial capital?”

It was obvious at a glance that the eldest prince was lining his own pockets. Although Sean would be a super bug if he were in that position, Bai Zhan was indeed a bit shameless.

Bai Ye said quietly: "This is only the first batch... Some people have already reported that the resources on the list are too huge, but my father ignored them at all. Instead, he asked the eldest brother to speed up the construction progress."

"accelerate?"

Bai Ye nodded: "In the morning meeting, the first batch of resources has begun to leave the warehouse, and the eldest brother has even led people to clear the area - by the way, this matter also has something to do with you."

"With me?" Sean didn't understand for a moment. He was still a 'dead person', so what could it have to do with him.

Bai Ye said quietly: "The statue was placed at the original headquarters of Golden Dawn, which is the new territory under your name. After your death, the construction speed of the territory was slowed down. However, judging from time, this The only foundation in your territory should have been demolished."

Xiao En was stunned for a moment, and then he cursed: "The dog emperor, the stupid eldest prince, for doing such a thing as giving birth to a child without an asshole!"

When you first found out, there was no such big news...

Bai Ye was speechless for a while, and then sighed: "My father has become possessed... Big brother's actions are almost a conspiracy. He is poaching the foundation of the empire, but with my father behind him, no one can break the conspiracy." ”

Sean cursed a few more times, and then asked: "The fact that you can make this suggestion means that your eldest brother knows the specific situation of your father. To be honest, I have never found out the specific situation of your father, and my godfather also doesn't know. Not sure, how did Bai Zhan know? "

Bai Ye shook his head: "I don't know. Even at the court meeting, my father did not show up. Most of the time, the palace minister Covins was the mouthpiece, and my father only said a few words occasionally. To be honest, I also It’s been a long time since I saw my father. The last time was before I went to Paradise City.”

Sean thought for a while and then said: "There may be something wrong with your father... By the way, what exactly does that bullshit statue of the founder of the country look like?"

Bai Ye rummaged for a while and took out a drawing.

"It's been sent to the engineering department, this is it."

Sean took the drawing, and then his pupils shook violently.

Bai Ye did not notice Sean's abnormality and continued to introduce: "According to the drawings, the statue is three hundred meters high, and the tallest building in the entire imperial capital is only less than two hundred meters. In addition to the construction location, it is expected that after completion It just echoes the palace on the top of the mountain.”

"At the same time, the statue also contains many other functions, such as connecting audio equipment throughout the Imperial Capital, lighting equipment that can illuminate the Imperial Capital at night, etc..."

While talking, Bai Ye noticed that Sean seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

She turned her head to look in confusion and saw Sean clutching the drawing tightly, his brows already knitted together.

"Is there something wrong?" She noticed something was wrong.

Sean turned his head and his tone became much more serious: "Is this statue built in the image of your father?"

"Of course, some details have been slightly changed, probably to make the overall look of the statue more majestic."

"What about these?"

Bai Ye looked along where Sean pointed.

The statue on the drawing is enlarged according to the proportion of a real person, and the place Sean is pointing to is the decoration of the statue.

The chains wrapped around his arms and the empty pocket watch on his chest.

"This..." Bai Ye thought for a while and replied, "When the imperial capital was established and my father led the troops, it was basically the last major battle in the imperial capital. After returning, my father's hands were wrapped with iron chains like this …”

Speaking of this, Bai Ye was also stunned: "The iron chain... This should be a trophy, but when you said this, I remembered that there is no relevant record in the historical records of the Imperial Capital... As for this empty pocket watch, I I don’t know, it might be one of the trophies, but I haven’t seen my father wearing it.”

Empty?

Sean licked his dry lips.

It was obviously a drawing, but why was it empty when Bai Ye looked at it?

The iron chain and pocket watch were clearly in the hands of the fisherman Bernard, and they were also important items that could revive the Lurker Gao Zun and gain strength.

The most important thing is that only Sean can see the hands in the pocket watch - but the hands on the pocket watch in this drawing can only be seen by Sean.

This is almost a conceptual difference.

Sensing something was wrong with Sean, Bai Ye subconsciously asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Where's the shadow?" Sean asked.

Although Bai Ye was confused, he still called out the shadow. The poison that the other party had been poisoned had been removed and he had now recovered.

After Shadow appeared, he described it as Sean asked. Sure enough, he could only see an empty pocket watch.

If you can’t see the real thing, why can’t you even see the picture on the drawing?

"Is there something wrong with the pocket watch? Is this some kind of very special item?" Bai Ye knew that Sean had many secrets, and immediately realized that there was something wrong with the chain and the pocket watch, especially the pocket watch.

Sean didn't explain immediately, just bared his teeth.

"I originally thought that your eldest brother was planning to use the current situation to line his own pockets, and finally pool resources to complete something... But now it seems that the water here is deeper than I imagined."

"What do you mean?" Bai Ye also became serious.

Sean smiled: "Have you ever heard of the evil god, the Seducer Gao Zun?"

"ah?"

…

After some explanation, Sean did not hide any information except that he was half evil god.

Bai Ye, who has been educated by the elite of the empire, is a staunch atheist and scorns the so-called 'belief in gods' and the like. However, after Sean's detailed explanation, she suddenly realized that there may be many things outside this world that she Something I still don’t understand.

"The ritual of sacrificial summoning... This does not conform to the rules of superpowers of the veto. The space system can achieve this, but this is the ability of the veto itself. It does not require others to sacrifice and summon to travel through space... For the weak, , I have heard that someone is trying to develop a space travel device, but it is just the beginning of research... This is unreasonable. "

Bai Ye was puzzled.

Sean shrugged his shoulders: "There are many unreasonable things. First of all, there are so many crazy beasts in the world, and humans have begun to evolve and absorb the blood of crazy beasts... Doesn't this sound more unreasonable?"

Bai Ye choked, but she also knew very well that there was no need for Sean to lie to herself in this regard, which meant that he had really encountered something similar...

"Wait... something is wrong." Bai Ye suddenly noticed something, "My father's previous image was related to the lurker Gao Zun, but this drawing was provided by my elder brother..."

"Various investigations have found that perhaps the statue itself is a ritual." Sean explained.

Bai Ye shook his head: "That's not what I meant. You tricked me into asking them to go to the Gray Sea to investigate Gao Zun, right? I taught you Gao Zun, and they have contact with the elder brother... Then the elder brother provided this blueprint. , How could I teach not to know?"

"This statue is obviously related to Gao Zun. How could I allow my eldest brother to use all the efforts of the country to build the statue?"

After hearing what Bai Ye said, Sean realized that he knew too much information, but ignored other people's information exploration.

Indeed, since the Self Sect is hostile to Gao Zun, it is unjustifiable for Bai Zhan to build this statue...

Unless, I don’t know this specific image?

But Bai Zhan must have a deep meaning in building this statue. He is connected with the Self Cult. This statue should also have the participation of the Self Cult... If you don't know that this is Gao Zun, then why was it built?

This doesn’t make sense…

Or is this just an image, and the image is just part of a certain ritual?

Sean found that his understanding of religion was still too little.

"I have a hunch that this statue was not a good thing to build," he muttered.

Bai Ye said angrily: "Who doesn't know! The key now is to figure out why the eldest brother built this statue? At the most superficial level, he wanted to please his father and enrich his own pockets. And if he knew that the eldest brother was having an affair with Shuren, Then you will think that this is a disguised attempt to weaken the empire’s national power.”

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean, only people like me who know the Lurking Seducer Gao Zun will realize that the underlying logic here actually doesn't make sense?"

Bai Ye nodded: "If you don't tell me, I won't know, let alone other people. If I don't know this, wouldn't it mean that the only person who can see something wrong here is Did you?"

"I see..." Sean narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Bai Ye.

"Then can I guess this...what if Bai Zhan doesn't know it himself?"

Bai Ye's eyes suddenly widened.

…

"Father has indeed agreed. Now, we must build the statue as soon as possible." Bai Zhan paced around the room excitedly.

The man in black with the scar on his chin chuckled: "No one will know why you built this statue... Even His Majesty, even if His Majesty knows your connection with the tree people, he will not stop you now. ”

An inexplicable look flashed in Bai Zhan's eyes: "Father...he can't wait any longer."

"Yes, so even if Princess Baiye knows the truth and reports it, no one can stop you... Of course, the most important thing now is to build the statue. To this end, I have some suggestions."

Bai Zhan nodded: "Military advisor, please speak."

The man in black chuckled: "First of all, the military personnel cannot move. This is the bottom line of His Highness the Prince. If they are moved, even with His Majesty's support, His Highness the Prince will do everything possible to obstruct it. Secondly, requisitioning a large number of civilians will basically Repeated labor requires a large number of people. In addition, in order to ensure that the statue can be completed as soon as possible, I suggest that you enter the palace again, and your Majesty will definitely find other ways to support you. "

Bai Zhan said thoughtfully: "It makes sense. I will meet my father later."

"By the way, Your Highness, I have another suggestion..." The man in black licked his lips, "We can think of another way to help the tree people and release the things at the bottom of the Black Pigeon Prison."

Bai Zhan frowned: "Are you sure? The tree people have been unwilling to tell me who is locked up there, and I can't find any information from other places. The tree people are so eager, and it must be beneficial to them to release the people locked inside. , although we cooperate with them, there is no need to increase their strength in this way, right?”

"Your Highness, now is the critical moment... Think about it, who is the person most likely to hinder the plan?"

"Of course it's my uncle."

"That's right, so we need something to divert His Highness the Prince's attention as much as possible... and His Highness the Prince is stronger than I thought, so we have to find a way to enhance the strength of the tree man."

"……rational."
