Chapter 767 Finding Evidence
"Something's wrong! Did someone come here just now?"
As soon as he returned to the study and sat down, Manina suddenly felt something was wrong.
Everything around him was the same as when he left. Whether it was the placement of files on the desktop or the position of the cups, they were all in the same position as when he left.
But after sitting on the big chair in his office, he felt that the atmosphere around him was particularly wrong.
It feels like someone came here just now and stayed here for a long time.
In fact, the reason why Manina noticed it was because when Zhong Feng stepped forward, he returned to the study room behind him, and the interval in between was less than 10 minutes.
If Manina could come back an hour or two later, and the breath that Zhong Feng inadvertently leaked from the room had completely dissipated, he probably wouldn't have felt that Zhong Feng had ever been there.
"Sunshine, did anyone come to the study just now?" Manina asked loudly.
"Sunshine" is the name of his exclusive AI system.
"Reporting to your Majesty, no one has been to the study after you left, including the waiter." AI Sunshine replied.
"I don't believe it! Sunshine, call up the surveillance video from the study just now."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
AI Sunshine followed the instructions and played the surveillance video in the study just now.
But after the video was released, AI Sunshine immediately fell silent.
Because in the video, the document placed on the shore of Manina's desk turned automatically without any wind, and it was actually turning pages on its own!
After one document is turned, another document begins to turn.
Manina's face immediately turned dark: "No one has been here? Open your eyes and see, no one has been here?"
"..." AI Yangguang was speechless.
As a top-level AI, "Sunshine" has a complete biological detection system. If there are other creatures coming, it should be able to detect it.
As for the surveillance screen, it will not obtain information from the surveillance screen if it is not necessary.
But who would have thought that its biological detection function completely failed, and this infiltrator actually showed flaws in the surveillance screen?
"Your Majesty, I..."
"What are you doing? Why don't you go check it out quickly? If you can't catch this infiltrator, your job will be done by 'Eating Blue' in the future!"
"clear!"
…
Soon, the entire palace started to move.
The guards in the palace received instructions from AI Sunshine, ordering them to go to XX place to find the infiltrators.
The royal relatives and high-level powerhouses near the palace also received invitations and entered the palace to look for the intruders.
The golden protective shield covering the Lieyang Palace burst out with a burst of dazzling golden light.
In the golden light, the thickness of the protective cover increased 10 times, and it was changed to a state that could only be entered but not exited.
Emperor Manina even flew to the sky above the study in person. His powerful mental power scanned the surface of the palace in an effort to find this hateful insect.
…
The huge shock in the palace certainly affected Zhong Feng.
Zhong Feng was still happy about the key information he had found, when bursts of noisy sounds could be heard outside the archives.
Let’s talk about this key information first.
After entering the archives, Zhong Feng found that information about the Dragon Clan was not easy to find!
Unlike in the study room, in the archives, the archivist responsible for organizing the archives classified the documents one by one according to their type.
The categories are divided in detail. For example, on the internal affairs side, there are water conservancy, infrastructure, official deployment, local finance, treasury expenditure, etc.
Zhong Feng searched in the "Dragon Clan" category of the "Foreign Race" category, and finally found some information he wanted in some old files, which was about the decline of the Dragon Clan's reproductive capacity.
Among them, the most crucial evidence is a letter written by Manina VII to a prince.
This letter elaborates on the reasons for the dragon's declining fertility.
The letter stated that the dragons' powerful reproductive ability is the biggest threat to the Skrulls.
No matter how hard the Skrulls try, as long as the dragons can continue to expand their population with their strong reproductive capabilities, the Skrulls will never be able to become the masters of the planet.
When the Lieyang Empire was founded, the number of dragons had been suppressed by human counterattacks.
But sooner or later the dragons will counterattack, and one day they will overwhelmingly press on the Skrull cities with their huge numbers.
In order to solve this problem once and for all, Manina III and several other gods at the time finally came up with a solution after repeated discussions.
This method is - blood sacrifice!
At that time, the largest group of superpowers among the Skrulls was not psionicists, psionic warriors and other professions, but a more special group, they were called - conjurers.
The profession of conjurer is very powerful, and the talent requirement is not high. At that time, about 60% of the practitioners of the entire Skrull race were in this profession.
The position of magician also gave birth to two god-level powerhouses-Melia and Wen.
After discussion, the gods of the Skrull race decided to implement a blood sacrifice.
In this blood sacrifice, half of the dragons will be instantly wiped out by the power of the blood sacrifice, and the remaining half's reproductive capabilities will be greatly suppressed.
In reciprocity, the Skrulls will also have to pay a huge price.
All conjurers, including Melia and Win, will lose their power and become ordinary people, and there will no longer be apprentices in the conjurer profession;
30 million Skrulls will sacrifice their lives in a blood sacrifice;
Manina III and other god-level descendants will be bound to the origin of blood sacrifice and become very short-lived, even shorter than the lifespan of ordinary people. This blood curse will last for eight generations before slowly dissipating.
…
This is indeed the case.
Since the fourth emperor of the Lieyang Empire, Manina IV, no emperor has lived past 70 years old, and all died at a very young age.
Generally, the lifespan of a strong man above level six is about 2,000 years old, and dying before the age of 70 is completely in the category of premature death.
It was not until Manina XII and XIII that the Lieyang royal family gradually got rid of the blood curse and returned to normal, and the Lieyang Empire gradually became strong again.
In the letter, Manina VII told his brother the reason why the royal family had a short lifespan and encouraged him to have more children to offset the impact of short lifespan.
…
Don't be too happy when Zhong Feng finds this letter!
It turns out that "the Skrulls used special means to interfere with the reproduction of the dragons" was just their speculation. The letter from Manina VII can be said to be solid evidence!
Zhong Feng did not stop after getting the letter. He continued to search for evidence.
In addition to finding evidence, he must find another thing, that is - how to remove the curse on the dragons.
Such a letter alone can only make the dragons angry, and it is still beyond their ability to make them stand completely against the Skrulls.
They must be given a reason to eliminate the Skrulls, and the dragons may stand up firmly.
However, as soon as he started to search, the noise in the palace came from outside the door.
