Chapter 111 Prince (3k, additional content for the leader)
The palace of King Turin still exists, and has not been completely sealed off like the palace of the Eternal King and the old capital at the foot of the sacred tree.
However, the dwarves sealed off the throne room and some adjacent areas, using the rest of the place for public use only.
It was in front of the throne room that the dwarven elders met with Morn.
Morn had been here before, and he knew very well that behind the wax-sealed door was the throne of King Durin.
The silence caused by Morn's gaze on the throne room made the dwarf elders a little angry:
"Long-legged man, answer us, how did you know about that door? Don't say you saw it in a book."
"None of us dwarves who live on the Seven Hills have ever seen such a description in a book. How would you, an outsider, know about it?"
The dwarf elders obviously did not believe what Morn said to Balin.
They also had people check and confirmed that the door and the secret passage did exist, and what made them feel relieved for a moment but then very uneasy was that the door was indeed extremely sturdy.
But it can be opened with just one password!
They want to seal it, but they also want to leave a way out for themselves.
No matter which choice they make, it feels like a problem, so they are now eager to get more information from Moon.
Then, one of the dwarves pointed to a knight statue behind them and said:
"Also, see this thing behind us? It will tell us clearly whether you are lying or not."
"If you, a long-legged man, dare to lie in our sacred and great prayer room, we will chop off your head and smash it into pulp."
Moon looked in the direction of their fingers.
It is clearly the palace of the dwarves, but there is a statue of a human knight.
But this is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that the dwarves themselves probably don’t know that this knight statue was made by the vampires.
The statue of a human knight made by the vampires was placed by the dwarves at the door of the prayer room.
Of course, this is still related to Moon.
"The knight swore an oath. He can indeed tell whether others are lying or not, and his standards are very high."
Moon directly stated the name and function of the statue.
"It seems that you are indeed knowledgeable. If you know, then tell us the truth."
But Moon did not continue what they said. Instead, he said to the statue of the knight kneeling on one knee:
"You seem to have forgotten the true purpose of this statue."
The dwarf elders were stunned.
What does this guy mean?
"What a joke! How can an outsider like you know our things better than us?"
It was a dwarf elder who said this, and then he shut his mouth in embarrassment.
The person in front of them really knows their stuff better than they do.
After all, none of them knew that there was a secret passage under the cliff connecting the inside and the outside.
"Tell me."
After looking around, Moon pointed to a pillar next to him and asked:
"There used to be a silver basin here. Where is the basin?"
"Don't tell you it's been thrown away."
A dwarf elder said immediately:
"Of course not. That is the treasure of the palace. How could we throw it away?"
"Then please send it to me. I can use it."
After the dwarf elders looked at each other for a few seconds, the silver basin was quickly brought over.
Moon did not take the silver basin, but pointed at the knight statue and said:
"Just place the silver basin in front of the statue. Remember to place it directly below the statue's head."
The dwarf who brought the silver basin looked at the elders at a loss, and the dwarf elder closest to the knight statue stepped forward and took the silver basin.
Placed it under the knight statue as Moon said.
"Okay, then what? Nothing!"
The dwarf stared for a while and found no changes, so he turned back and questioned Morn.
Moon pointed at the statue and said:
"You've waited a little too long."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the prayer room heard the heavy sound that was only made when a stone statue moved.
They looked back in shock and found that the stone statue kneeling on one knee was slowly slashing the sharp blade in its hand towards its neck.
"What's this?!"
What made them even more puzzled was that the stone statue actually bled.
The bright red blood flowed straight down the sword into the silver basin.
Wait until the silver basin is filled with blood.
The dwarves even heard a dull sound coming from the wax-sealed throne room.
"What did you do? What happened over there in the throne room?"
Unlike before, this time the dwarves were really anxious.
Unlike humans, even if the king has long gone, even if many things related to the king have been helplessly forgotten.
But the dwarves will never forget their king, just as the elves will not forget the Everking.
Moen said:
"I just took out what King Turin left for you. Open the door."
"Speak clearly!"
"After King Durin died, the Moon King followed his friend's wishes and hid many of his treasures in the palace, so that they could be used by his people in times of emergency."
"That knight statue and the silver basin were the means used by the Moon King to hide the treasures of King Durin. I remember that the Moon King also told the dwarves about this matter clearly."
"It seems now that you have really forgotten a lot of things."
The dwarves looked at each other in bewilderment at what Morn said.
But fortunately, dwarves are not fussy creatures. After a moment of silence, a dwarf elder said directly:
"Open the door! Don't say anything nonsense. If we don't open the door, I'm afraid we won't be able to face His Majesty after we die."
In the face of the dwarves' powerful mobility, the door was opened almost instantly by the dwarf elders themselves.
When the door opened, Moon, who was standing in the center of the prayer room, saw the throne of King Turin for the first time.
The King of Turin originally wanted to carve a throne for himself out of oak.
But he finally listened to his friend's advice and used the swords of many powerful enemies he defeated to forge an Iron Throne. Before, Morn just felt great interest in this Iron Throne.
And now, after so many years, when I see this throne again.
Moen found himself speechless.
Choking, nostalgia, discomfort, surprise, his emotions were extremely complicated.
This is not right. Why do I feel so deeply about this?
The first time Moon faced the legacy of his old friend, he finally discovered the problem that he should have discovered long ago.
He seemed to have an overly deep attachment to this world.
Obviously, this should only be a game of a few short years.
How could it be like this?!
As the dwarves climbed the illusory ladder behind the throne, their exclamations were heard.
There are so many treasures hidden on it.
Morn also came back to his senses because of the dwarves' exclamations.
He followed into the throne room.
At this time, no dwarf came to question or stop him.
They just looked at Moon, the long-legged man, in surprise.
They did not understand why this man knew so much, but from what they could see now, Morn was undoubtedly a friend of the dwarves.
And dwarves are willing to sacrifice their lives for their friends!
Morn also said to the dwarves at this time:
"There is one more thing. These treasures were actually the burial objects of King Turin. However, the Moon King quietly sent them back here according to King Turin's last wish. King Turin did not want you to waste such precious treasures."
"Just like the Copper Furnace King."
"what?!"
This news really shocked the dwarves.
It can be said that from the very beginning, the Northern Commercial Alliance's looting activities were doomed to fail.
-
When the allied army of various races invaded the Seven Hills.
A pure white carriage, accompanied by a total of eight pure white knights in front and behind, slowly visited the Baratheon royal capital.
This time, even Queen Ansha personally walked out of the imperial capital and welcomed the arrival of the carriage outside the city.
In front of the pure white carriage, the Baratheon knights dismounted and knelt facing the carriage.
Baratheon's cabinet ministers, members of the House of Representatives, and many royal nobles also knelt and saluted like the knights.
The difference is that none of them knelt on one knee.
Instead, he knelt on his knees and prostrated himself.
Only the queen at the front of the crowd bowed.
This was not because she was exempt, but simply because the gods showed mercy to the emperors.
This is often considered an insulting etiquette for many people.
But today, no one thinks there is a problem.
Even many nobles felt extremely excited.
Because the one they were bowing to was a prince.
This is a true noble person second only to God and the king.
In this world where hierarchy is so strict that it almost makes people despair.
God and the king are the noblest beings.
After Them come the Holy Family who are Their Offspring.
Next come the angels of Sequence One.
The prince, the direct descendant of gods and kings, is obviously indescribably noble.
Amid Baratheon's respect, the carriage door finally opened.
Out of it stepped a young prince who was indistinguishable as a man or a woman.
"On behalf of all of Baratheon, I welcome you, Prince Adela!"
"Queen Ansha, right? Everyone, please stand up. I apologize for my intrusive visit."
Prince Adela's voice is equally androgynous, just like his mother's.
The Queen raised her head and asked:
"I wonder why you are visiting here?"
Prince Adela smiled and said:
"I want to wander around the Baratheon capital. To be honest, the person I want to meet most is His Excellency Trajan, the former Prince of the South."
"He really is a very amazing mortal. Even my mother praises him highly."
This made the Queen smile slightly:
"Lord Trajan is indeed a very good man."
Prince Adela suddenly changed the subject and said:
"So will you let me meet him?"
Queen Ansha said:
"Would you like to visit the tomb of Lord Trajan?"
Prince Adela didn't say anything, just smiled.
In the faraway place.
In the pure white palace.
Next to the black pillar stands a golden pillar.
But unlike the black pillar, two potions were obviously taken away from the golden pillar.
In this world, gold is considered the color of glory.
Well, the three days of adding 10,000 chapters a day for the leader is now over, and normal updates will resume tomorrow.
