Kingdom’s Bloodline

Every choice has its corresponding price. For example, after uttering such cruel words as "you must listen to me" to the two representatives of King Nun, and then turning away handsomely, Thales fell into a frown.

Obviously, whether it was for the continuation of the Walton family, or for the pure interests of Dragon Clouds City, or to solve a threat before his death, or even for the so-called "revenge" full of personal emotions, Nuen seven Shi is determined to find the mastermind behind the conspiracy with Rumba.

In order to achieve this goal, everything else, including one's own life, is insignificant in the process and can even be sacrificed at any time.

Thales was almost 100% sure that he was a "bait" in Nunn's original plan, and there was no other possibility.

but……

The traverser gritted his teeth.

Even if the fox pretends to use the stars and takes the initiative in his own hands, how can he find Nun and his common enemy, the person who can drive the so-called "traitors from the Tower of the End" under the situation of endangering himself? Woolen cloth?

I don't know how Nunn reacted to his performance, but if I can't help him find his enemy... Thales remembered King Nunn's face.

He sighed.

Alas, welcome to the North.

He needs help, whether it's Puttilai's staff, Wyatt's sword, Rolf's ability, or Ada's strength.

Must join them quickly.

Thales raised his head and was suddenly stunned.

He realized that when he was meditating, he had unknowingly walked a long way.

But he didn't find Michael who led him in the original place.

in short……

Thales looked awkwardly at the unfamiliar corridors and stairs, the rough decorations on the walls, and the stone windows on both sides...

He is lost.

Thales turned around immediately.

But after imagining the scene where he said "Sorry, can you tell me how to get back" to Nicolai and Shiles whom he had just met and their expressions, he decisively put " Backtracking” option is removed.

The problem is... Thales turned his head in embarrassment: The layout of the Heroic Spirit Palace is so consistent that every time he turns a corner, he feels like he has returned to the place just now.

As long as you walk forward, you can ask for directions when you meet guards or servants.

Thales sighed and strode forward.

Until he passed through a tall curved door in a daze.

This is a huge room. There are no stoves and braziers lit like other places in the Palace of Heroes, but large windows are open, and the white light outside the windows is projected in. There are iron shelves hanging from the ceiling. A crystal-clear silver gem, reflecting the light outside the window, illuminating rows of...

bookshelf?

Thales was stunned, looking at the two rows of large black bookshelves facing him.

Each row is ** meters long, leaving only a two-person gap in the middle.

He frowned, as if he had crashed into a... library?

No wonder there is no brazier.

Thales looked around, strangely, he didn't see anyone.

He took a step forward and poked his head out of the gap between the two bookshelves, trying in vain to see across the room.

Firstly, the room seemed extremely huge, and secondly, he found that the black bookshelves seemed to be arranged in a circular arc rather than a straight line. At least, he couldn't see the other end of the room. The bookshelf stretches to the end of the line of sight.

He sighed.

As for the library... there should be someone guarding it, right?

"Is anyone there?" Thales opened his mouth cautiously and called out, "May I ask how to get to the chamber?"

no respond.

Thales shook his head: These bookshelves greatly cut off the transmission of sound.

He had to walk into two rows and walk past rows of black wooden bookshelves. There were about ten layers of these bookshelves, and each layer was separated by thick black wood boards.

From the bottom of the feet to the ceiling, it is seven or eight meters high.

The bookshelves are, of course, books: from thin side-bound volumes, to heavy classics with hardcover covers, to vertical scrolls.

Many books are heavy and quaint, and some are even ancient books made of parchment, with a long history but well preserved.

The ancient imperial language engraved on the side of the book clearly identifies the categories of each row: poetry, history, politics, music scores, personal monographs, and even king's decrees... many of them are old books that cannot be seen in Mindis Hall.

God... Thales was on a row of bookshelves, looking at a big thick book with a brown cover, in a daze.

Collection of Imperial Decree: Year 1-230

This is... Calculating the time, the end calendar is 600 years, and the empire calendar is 1,500 years.

A book from nearly two thousand years ago?

No, it's a carbon copy. Thales immediately reflects from its degree of newness and oldness.

But... a thought swept across Thales' mind.

If it was the books before the end war...

That...whether it is mages, magic towers or the history of magic!

Surely there will be clues.

At least briefly.

For example, in the book of Ending Wars: Heaven Falls and Earth Shattered that he found in Mindis Hall earlier, didn't it mention the Alchemy Tower?

Taylor's eyes lit up.

He never believed that the prohibition of magic by human beings could really be completely invulnerable.

Otherwise, how could there be such an existence as Ramon?

He continued to walk forward, pulling out a few still-handy books from time to time, turning over the first few pages, and taking a quick glance.

There are many other similar books.

From the common language to the ancient imperial language, and even books written in some strange scripts that he had never seen before.

Fortunately, the special training given to him by Gilbert worked. Thales should have no problem understanding the cover and the general content at the level of the common language. As for his half-baked ancient imperial language, the grammar and spelling are much more complicated than the common language , but many roots and affixes are interlinked, so there is always a result in half-blind guessing.

Gilbert told him that after the collapse of the ancient empire, the ancient imperial language used by nobles and officials gradually became a rhetorical and ceremonial language, while the common language of the common people was gradually formed at this time.

Thales held his breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart: he seemed to have returned to the past in his memory, where he was also walking among rows of bookshelves.

Myojin Edict This is a historical book that records the deeds of the former orthodox church of the empire, the Myojin Church.

Looking at the title page of the Thorn Wars, it seems to be a large conquest in the ancient empire era, and the target is the Thorn Land in the southwest of the Western Continent.

The biography of the first great emperor of the ancient empire and the history of the establishment of the empire.

Kings XXX Politics XXX I can't understand the ancient imperial language words on the title of the book, God, this probably has something to do with the kings period before the ancient empire period.

The traceability of the ancient orcs is easy to understand, even though the entire text is in the ancient imperial language.

There is another row of names on the cover of the Calamity of Seran Karen, written in another system of script that is neither Common nor Old Imperial,

Templar: The Book of Knights seems to be telling the history of the glorious age of chivalry in the past, from the time of kings all the way to the age of empires.

I don't know if the story of the giant dragon is a work or a serious record.

XXX: The Iron Blood King and Medea...another incomprehensible topic.

The List of Ten Knights of the Empire in the Past Dynasties started from this row of bookshelves, and more books were written in the common language.

The 612th Anniversary Collection of Dragon Kiss Academy is full of incomprehensible things.

Men and women, this one actually has illustrations... Well, let's put it back.

What the hell is Dragonlance Chronicle?

Thales became more and more excited, and even forgot his original purpose, whether it was to find a way out or a magic trail.

It's like returning to the "previous life" in the memory fragments and finding a large number of high-quality documents in a database.

This is probably the library in the Palace of Heroes, or the library of the Walton family.

When he was in Xingchen, he never had time to get enough and wide enough knowledge, and almost all of the more precious books in Xingchen Kingdom were treasured in Wang Lican Xing's Great Library.

Thales turned around a row of bookshelves.

It appears that a row of bookshelves has been removed and replaced by a long row of metal glass cabinets.

"This is……"

With the light reflected from the unknown gem above his head, Thales looked in surprise at an ancient scroll document kept in the glass cabinet, at the dragon head emblem and

Nine-pointed star emblem!

Bright star?

Curiosity and excitement radiated from Thales' eyes.

The entire text of this ancient document is written in the ancient imperial language. The writer obviously has a very high attainment in calligraphy, and the classic cursive characters written are beautiful and attractive.

However, unlike the classic aristocratic ancient imperial language that Thales learned from Gilbert in the Mindis hall, which is ancient, awkward, complicated, and peculiar, the ancient imperial language on the document appears simple, straightforward, and popular. It is easy to understand, mixed with many grammars and words that only appear in today's lingua franca, and Thales can barely understand it with a month's worth of ancient imperial language.

Thales pressed his face against the glass cabinet, and on the yellowed paper roll, he could barely make out the content. He was not used to it at first, but it became more and more smooth when he saw the back.

In the 1530th year after the founding of the empire.

In the 11th year after the year of Errol.

In the name of the great holy day.

Under the witness of the Sunset Temple.

In the lord's longhouse of Coldcastle, the covenant is made by

Holy Day Ends Calendar 1/29/11 Noon

The appendices associated with this covenant are as follows...

God.

Thales was fascinated by watching, but was extremely shocked in his heart.

This is……

"King of Revival" Tormund Canxing and "King of Dragonriders" Nakaru Ex...

A... treaty signed more than six hundred years ago?

Thales chewed the main text of the treaty, and began to confirm in his heart:

This is a truce between the stars and Exeter, and... a covenant of non-interference!

At this moment, his footsteps moved between the second glass cabinet and the third glass cabinet.

The light dimmed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the open space between the two glass cabinets.

There, something black seemed to be moving.

Thales turned his head.

In his line of sight, the ground one step away from him suddenly appeared...

one person!

"ah!"

Thales was taken aback and bumped backwards against the glass cabinet.

"bump!"

With a pale face, he stepped on several steps, finally grasping the legs of the glass cabinet and grasping the balance.

The figure lying on the ground who appeared suddenly seemed to be taken aback.

He only heard the other party take a breath, and took a step back.

Thales patted his beating heart, and seeing that there was indeed a big living person in front of him, he gasped and felt relieved.

"That..." Thales asked while panting.

The other party finally raised his head.

Thales was taken aback.

That person is very thin, very short, very...miniature?

To be precise, it was a platinum curly hair, wearing a long gray dress, with a frightened face...

little girl.

Looks only ** years old.

Thales glanced left and right, doubts appearing in his heart.

no one around...

But why, is there a little girl here?

And... why is it a little girl again?

Thales first thought of the "little girl" he met by accident last time, and then thought of Nicolai's "Spiritual Legend of the Palace of Heroes", feeling a little nervous.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took a closer look.

The other party's gray dress was covered with dust, and he was lying on a huge book that was one meter wide.

She propped her elbows on the pages on both sides of the book, and her face was almost pressed to the book.

Actually... reading a book?

The little girl raised her head, her little face was covered with dust and dirt, her platinum-blond hair stuck to her forehead, and a hint of confusion appeared on her frightened face.

The next second, she looked in Thales' direction with a dazed face, her eyes narrowed into a thin line.

I saw that her expression was full of suspicion and vigilance, like an amphibian, she was heading towards Thales...

Turned his neck around.

but.

Her eyes were dull, her eyeballs were numb... She just didn't focus on Thales.

Under such bright light, she actually...

Didn't see Thales?

I did not see it!

The other party sniffed fiercely in the air.

Like sniffing something.

Thales' heart trembled.

Could it be...

A strange fragment of memory flooded his mind.

My model hasn't finished running yet... What are you pulling me to see today?

Oh, don't worry, college bullies, you will never be afraid of this! A feature film about scientific exploration of several people underground!

Scientific exploration? What's your name? The title is Thedescent? decline? Oh, it's really an adventure movie...but why a few girls? Expeditions as psychotherapy?

That's right, how could I harm you... You will know when you read down!

Why do you want to turn off the lights at this time, you don't want me to see your fluorescent watch... What the hell is this! you let me go! I don't want to watch it!

Thales swallowed again.

It seemed that he wanted to see this more clearly, but he saw a weird girl with squinting eyes...

Squinting eyes are all monsters. This is a memory that got into his mind at some point.

I saw this squinting little girl...

Slowly stretch your neck, slowly reach out your hand...

Move your feet slowly, slowly...

Climb towards Thales.

step.

two steps.

The weird little girl stopped crawling, looked in his direction for a full three seconds.

Thales thumped in his heart.

Dusty old room.

Antiquities Exhibition Hall.

The little girl who can't see.

Squinting his eyes, he landed on all fours.

crawled over...

Thales's scalp was numb, and he kept saying in his heart: Isn't it?

What little girl crawled out of the coffin, once is enough.

Thinking of this in his heart, his feet went limp and he bumped into the foot of the glass cabinet.

The squinting little girl noticed it immediately, and saw her head jerk!

The expression is ferocious!

Thales felt a chill in his heart.

In the next second, she sharply pointed in Thales' direction and opened her bloody mouth...

But the horror scene he expected did not appear.

A crisp child's voice came.

"ah!"

Thales was taken aback.

She... is alive?

Just live.

Thales exhaled and patted his chest.

But why living people can't see themselves...

Soon, he knew why.

The squinting little girl stretched out her hand and groped for a while beside the open book under her.

Then.

The little girl wiped her forehead hair, wiped her dirty little face even darker, then squinted her eyes and picked up a pair of black-framed round...glasses.

Wear it on your face.

The little girl looked up.

This time, her eyes finally opened.

So, in the Palace of Heroes, in the gaps of the thick and heavy bookshelves, next to the glass cabinet that kept the treaty of the two legendary kings.

A dirty-faced little girl with platinum-blonde hair wearing round thick black glasses lay foolishly on the ground, and Thales, who was sitting on the ground with his back against the glass cabinet, stared blankly at each other.

"Who are you...?"
