The Fool of the Gods

Although Dayi is an irritable believer of [war], he has one good point, that is, he never interrupts his teammates' rhythm of doing things.

Seeing that Cheng Shi fell into deep thought after the interrogation, he just frowned but did not urge him.

After a while, Cheng Shi looked up from his thoughts and asked the historian again:

"Is there any token symbolizing imperial power or divine power in the Rossna Empire?"

The old man was stunned and nodded quickly: "Yes... The scepter of sin purification in your majesty's hand is the highest symbol of royal power, but the scepter has been taken away."

"What does the scepter look like?"

"One person tall, three fingers wide, carved from a whole piece of wood, and a dark green gem is inlaid on the top of the scepter."

Cheng Shi frowned and ruled out another option.

After several inquiries, he failed to get the result he wanted, so he had to change to a more direct way of asking.

"What about the dagger? Is there any famous dagger in the empire? Maybe it's not a dagger, but it's similar to a dagger in function. Anything similar will do?"

Hearing this, Old Gallon finally realized that these powerful humans were not looking for someone, but for a dagger.

He pondered for a while, and then suddenly glared and said:

"It seems... there was."

"!!!"

Everyone instantly became alert, and Dayi even lifted up Jialun and said excitedly: "Grandma, finally here, what's your name? Where is it?"

Old Jialun was very scared. He kept shaking and trembling his lips as he replied:

"The eldest prince once traded with a foreign caravan and bought a dagger that could cut iron like mud. He showed it to people many times, but after a while, he sealed the dagger and strictly ordered everyone not to mention it again.

This happened a long time ago, or few people remember it. If my child hadn't been familiar with the eldest prince's child and accidentally bumped into his secret room while playing, perhaps no one would remember..."

Cheng Shi sneered after hearing this: "What a coincidence? Your child bumped into it?"

"I... everything I said is true."

Cheng Shi naturally heard that he was not lying, but the question is whether this is too coincidental?

"The eldest prince of the empire is the same age as you?

Then your emperor is over a hundred years old?

How come there is really a prince who has lived for decades?"

Old Galen's face froze, and he replied with a sad face: "I was born in the 64th year of the new calendar of Rossna, and I am only... 36 years old."

"......"

"......"

36......

Brother, forget about 36, in your condition, let alone 63, I would believe you if you said you were 93.

You are indeed a believer of [Decay], you look pious.

It's no wonder that your emperor wants to run away. If all the middle-aged men in Rossna are like you, even if the war against foreign aggression is fought, it will only be a mental patient killing through a nursing home...

Cheng Shi's face suddenly became strange, and he looked at Old Galen with a little pity. Although this idea was hellish, he couldn't help but think: No wonder the emperor didn't take you with him when he ran away. Isn't it the age of optimization when you are over 35?

Unexpectedly, this set of rules also applies to the Hope Island in the Fallen Era.

Hearing this, Dayi could no longer hold back his temper. He asked anxiously, "Where is the residence of the eldest prince? When he left, did he take the dagger with him? If you know, lead the way quickly, don't force me to slap you!"

"The eldest prince..."

"?"

What does this pause mean? Is there a twist?

Here again! ?

Cheng Shi was a little numb. He looked at Old Galen with a scrutinizing look, and squinted his eyes as if he was wondering if this historian was some unclear colleague?

Are you playing tricks here?

Oh no, I'm suspicious. The more I look at him, the more he looks like that. So is he a colleague of [Fraud] or a colleague of [Fate]?

Cheng Shi's eyes condensed, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. But he didn't rush to do it. Instead, he glanced at Du Yao thoughtfully.

Although he had established a reputation of being cunning in Hu Wei's eyes, he did not want to overly show his caution and shrewdness, so he thought of using a tool.

The tool in this scene was undoubtedly Miss Poison, the core of intelligence.

The moment she saw Cheng Shi looking at her, Poison sensed his suspicious mood. As a catalyst of desire to "accept all who come", she understood and immediately took action to snatch Gallon from Dayi, and then tore off his clothes in the blizzard, revealing the scars all over his abdomen and back.

But the scars of this historian were different from those of the previous one.The scars on his body were different from those on the couple. His scars were overlapping and hideous, covering his entire body. It seemed that he had endured far more suffering than the couple.

Seeing this, everyone frowned slightly. Only Cheng Shi seemed to think that there was some explanation for these scars. But before he had time to think about it, Dayi on the side dragged the man back again, cursing:

"Damn it, Poison, you are not going to snatch the man from me, are you?

I advise you to be honest, don't forget, Gongyang may be somewhere."

He grabbed Jialun and asked again: "Tell me, where is the eldest prince, and where is his dagger?"

Jialun was frozen to death, he shivered and said:

"The eldest prince... was expelled from the palace by His Majesty.

As for his collections and contraband, they were probably swept away by the guards a long time ago..."

"?" Dayi was stunned, "You mean, the man is still here, but the dagger is gone?"

Old Jialun nodded fearfully.

"Bang——"

Da Yi let go of his hand with a gloomy face, and spat fiercely: "Damn it, I'm afraid I can't convince myself if I don't go and look for it myself. Old man, where is the palace of the eldest prince?"

Gallen pointed in a direction tremblingly. Da Yi glanced at everyone and said only "Wait for me" and disappeared again. Seeing Da Yi's urgent look, Cheng Shi was even more confused.

Do these reckless men of [War] covet Dizel's soul so much?

This is too undisguised.

Even if the other party is the soul of a lord, it is a tricky thing for players to get benefits from a lord's soul. How come this person seems to have found some way.

Wait!

Cheng Shi suddenly remembered what the Grand Marshal said. He said that he knew something from an extremely reliable source of information. At that time, Cheng Shi was still wondering if that channel came from them... Now thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible.

Could it be that their source of information is their benefactor [War]?

[War] also wants to do something after [Prosperity] falls?

It's not impossible, but this is not like the impression I have of Him.

It can't be... [Chaos]?

Hu Wei's second belief is [Chaos], which makes sense, but what about Dayi, is his second belief also going to invest in [Chaos]?

Is [Chaos] standing behind the two War believers?

?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's expression suddenly became strange. Oh no, maybe he ran into someone from a brother company when he went out to work.

If I took out a board of directors of a brother company at this time, Dayi... wouldn't he believe it?

...
