Chapter 680: The Royal Family's Unusual Movement
"Finally it's all gone."
In the deep dream world, Anvis breathed out a sigh of relief as he watched the last ninth-level man being caught off guard by the collapse of the dream world bubble and disappearing into the endless dream turbulence.
At this point, all the pursuers have been thrown away by him. Although he himself seems to have been lost in this endless deep dream world, with the Land of Heritage as a special anchor point, he can still use the Land of Heritage as a springboard. , return to the Yaer continent.
And having the power of the floating city as protection can ensure that he will not be assimilated by the strange power of dreams everywhere, and become a part of the deep dream world that can never leave.
Anvis was quite satisfied with the results of this operation.
Although Marquis Anrita finally escaped, the bodies of Marquis Cuijing and Marquis Beshim were destroyed without any resistance under the attack of the floating city.
As for the vigilance shown by Duke Carrot at that time, Anvis felt that it was very normal.
To put it in perspective, if he were in Carrot's position, he would also doubt whether he would be wiped out by the 'Circle of Truth' that controlled the floating city.
However, what surprised Anvis was that before his death, Marquis Beshim sought help from some ancient existence and received an exact response.
However, the other party may have misjudged the power of the Sunless Moon, or may not have wanted to rescue Marquis Beshim at all.
The strange power coming from the other end of the spiritual channel failed to successfully block the annihilation attack of the Lightless Moon. Instead, it dissipated into wisps of invisible strange smoke, leaving an indelible spiritual mark on the floating city.
This is different from a magical imprint with substance, but a conceptual existence.
If the ordinary marking spell is 'this floating city is marked by some unknown magical brand', then this spiritual brand is 'this floating city is marked'.
Its real carrier does not exist in this world. It is from another unknown angle. This is an urgent problem that Avis needs to solve. Otherwise, when he returns to the main material world, there may be some existences that will directly follow him. The mark comes.
Fortunately, there are valuable knowledge records of the inheritance land and the database of the Sky City. There is currently a solution to the problem in Bomiya's database, but it will take some time.
During this period of time, the Sky City can only temporarily hide in the dream world.
Fortunately, in the next period of time, the [Circle of Truth] vest will also need to be silent for a while to allow the mainland to digest the current information.
No ninth-level existence is a fool. When Avis exposed the existence of the floating city, he did not expect that the relationship between the floating city and the circle of truth behind it could be hidden for how long.
The Circle of Truth with the Floating City and the Circle of Truth without the Floating City are completely different concepts. Next, the three major continental empires will probably frantically try to find and eliminate the existence of the Circle of Truth at all costs.
.
….….
With the withdrawal of the floating city, the civil war in the empire temporarily stopped.
During this operation on Anvis, the Empire lost two Marquises.
This is a very huge impact. Two ninth-level marquises died in the attack of the floating city by unknown forces, and there was an extremely complicated interest relationship behind them.
It not only involves the territory and power controlled by the two marquises, but also involves the game rules of the Gloria Empire.
If it was just a civil war among the nobles, it would be barely reasonable, but according to subsequent investigations/prophecies, the floating city actually seems to be related to the Circle of Truth!
A rebel group openly attacked and killed the Imperial Marquis, which has threatened the foundation of the Gloria Empire's rule.
The royal family had no choice but to bite the bullet and send a ninth-level person to the retreat place of Gloria III to try to wake up Gloria III urgently and let him decide whether to activate the empire's secrets and find out the Circle of Truth and kill it at all costs. , capture the floating city.
But what surprised everyone was that the ninth-level man did not see Gloria III in the end. The palace where he was 'retreating' was also empty and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
News of the mysterious disappearance of Gloria III soon spread among the ninth-level royal family. The ninth-level royal family secretly held a meeting and jointly decided to use the magical object [Eye of Destiny] left behind by the ancient magic empire. Urgent search for the whereabouts of the emperor.
But this time, even the [Eye of Destiny], which is as famous as the Tower of Destiny and is said to be as effective as a ninth-level prophet, was unable to find traces of Gloria III.
Regarding this result, many ninth-order people already had vague guesses in their minds.
The first thing that is certain is that Gloria III is not dead.
This feedback from the Eye of Destiny made many ninth-order people secretly feel a sense of déjà vu.
There is only one possibility for the Eye of Destiny to appear like this... Gloria III secretly tried to advance to legend using secret methods, but neither failed nor succeeded.
It may sound a bit convoluted, but the concept of legendary rank is so mysterious.
Someone in the magic world once put forward the view that the reason why legends do not exist in this world is because they are located in other angles and cannot come to the present world that can be observed by ordinary people.
Although this is pure speculation without any evidence, it also reflects some of the characteristics of the legends that cannot be observed.
Back then, the first generation of the Olivendi family used a wishing artifact to try to break through the legend and disappeared. The royal family used the Eye of Destiny to investigate his whereabouts, but the result was exactly the same as this time.
After confirming that Gloria III was indeed completely missing, the situation in the upper echelons of the empire immediately became weird.
No matter what Gloria III was thinking, whether he had prepared for a secret breakthrough in seclusion or was plotted against, the result was that the emperor of the empire was completely confirmed to be missing!
A country cannot be without a king for a day. After confirming that the emperor was missing, the eldest prince Ferdinand Augustine immediately contacted several ninth-level worshippers in the royal family who were close to him and prepared to take that position.
After all, he has been a prince for hundreds of years. He has seen pigs run away even if he has not eaten pork.
At the same time, Ferdinand secretly went to the mausoleums of the great emperors of all dynasties to meet the three royal guardians who guarded the mausoleums and the royal blood crystal, [Star Guardian], [Heart of Darkness], and [Gray], hoping to find out the attitudes of the three guardians towards him.
Although he has achieved the ninth level, he can feel the horror of the three guardians even more.
It is as deep and powerful as the abyss and the sea. If the road ahead of this world had not been blocked by the legendary barrier, I am afraid that these three would have taken the last step long ago.
Among them, the white-robed [Heart of Darkness] smiled and encouraged him a few words, while the [Guardian of Stars] in the robe of stars was indifferent and just nodded to him.
And the [Gray] in a hooded gray robe glanced at him, then closed his eyes again and did not express any opinion.
Seeing this situation, Ferdinand had a bottom line in his heart and left respectfully.
There is also a division of camps among the three guardians. The Heart of Darkness is a conservative faction, hoping that everything in the empire can be stable forever, while the Guardian of Stars is a reformist faction, advocating to actively embrace all changes in the world.
And the [Gray] who has lived the longest and is the strongest among the three is between the two. He does not care about the views of the two factions, but only hopes that the existence of the empire can continue forever.
For the eldest prince, as long as he could win the support of the Heart of Darkness, then as the only prince who had broken through the ninth level, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would change his name to Gloria IV in the future.
But at this moment, a shocking piece of bad news suddenly reached the eldest prince's ears.
The fourth princess, Osvia, had successfully broken through the ninth level!
