Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 520 The Empty Palace

What? !

After hearing the third question raised by Leon, not only the girl with green eyes was shocked, but the four cleaners of the Scorpio branch also trembled unconsciously and looked at Leon with shock on their faces.

"No way?"

The female cleaner said with disbelief:

"I have accompanied the director to investigate. Although the Korok royal family is reclusive, there have been many signs of activity in recent years. Even at the celebration at the end of last year, the king of the Korok Kingdom gave a speech in public. , shouldn’t it be almost completely wiped out?”

"Senior Mona, I will explain why you are so suspicious later. Please don't interrupt me now."

After giving the female cleaner a gentle look, Leon stared at the bewildered girl with emerald eyes and said without rejection:

"Your Highness Philiya... Although I still don't know what's going on with you, I have the right to call you that... I hope to hear your positive answer. Is there a third living person in the royal family? Yes! Or no!"

"Of course there is!"

Interrupted by the female cleaner, Filia calmed down a little, blinked her big eyes and said:

"I don't know about the other people, but my father and mother are still there, and other familiar people are also fine. I even greeted my mother the day before I was kidnapped by you."

Is this... am I wrong?

After receiving this answer, Leon couldn't help but frown, while Frankie in the sheep's mouth, after identifying Filia's soul state, said cautiously:

"Although I'm not very keen, I do understand a little bit about soul matters. What she said should be the truth."

“…”

Huh... I finally got through it...

Looking at Leon who did not refute Frankie's judgment, but frowned and said nothing, Filia couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, when I was just pretending to be unconscious and eavesdropping, I was caught in the act after a little bit of joy, and almost got rid of me. I even guessed part of the situation in the royal family. This is really...

After glancing at Leon with some fear, although it was difficult to be completely real without the computing power support of the main body, Philiya still followed her usual "behavior model", blinked her eyes and said pitifully:

"You can ask whatever you want. I...I can answer everything. I just ask you not to hurt me. What I say is really the truth."

It's all true...

After looking at the weak and cute look of the girl with emerald eyes, Leon's frowning eyebrows raised slightly, as if he had received some key reminder, and he stared at Princess Philia again.

The truth proves nothing! When I deal with internal investigations by the Cleanup Bureau, don’t I always tell the truth? But does this delay my attack on the palace?

"In this case, I'll ask again in a different way."

Leon's brows widened after he figured it out, and then in the frightened eyes of the green-eyed girl, he asked again:

"Are the bodies of the members of the Korok royal family, except you and Prince Andre, still their original bodies? Are their souls still their original souls?

Or to go deeper, does their so-called "alive" state mean they are alive like normal people, able to run, jump, eat and chat, or is it simply still "existing"? "

“…”

…

Just when Princess Philia was being asked, she was confused and didn't know how to answer. Prince Andre, who had always been lazy, did not bask in the sun on the balcony of his bedroom. Instead, he took a floating car specially designed for the royal family. , arrived at the palace of the Kingdom of Korok.

"Dong~~~"

Accompanied by the melodious sound of the giant pendulum hitting the chimes, the steam clock towers standing on both sides of the palace gate twisted slightly, and the somewhat old huge balance wheels on the bronze door leaves were staggered left and right, and even the door leaves behind the balance wheels opened left and right, revealing a Brightly lit glass corridor. The corridor with a large number of lamps hanging above is wide and beautiful. Behind the spotless glass walls on both sides is a grand hall evenly divided into two halves by the corridor. Hundreds of small exhibition stands are scattered in the hall in an orderly manner.

Compared to a palace where royal family members live, this building is more like a huge exhibition hall. On the small exhibition stands with clock scales below, there are ingenious and sophisticated mechanical creations one after another.

Airships, float vehicles, mechanical hearts, huge differential units, mechanical giants nearly five meters high...even the largest booth on the left has an entire miniature model, which looks like the entire Kroc The shape of the kingdom is constantly twisting and turning like a Rubik's Cube.

Under these exquisite booths, on the slopes specially set aside, there are detailed records of the inventors and functions of mechanical creations, a series of iterative design processes, and even more core design ideas and reasons. Almost every one has a copy. A rare treasure.

Prince Andrei, who looked slightly tired, ignored these treasures that could drive all kingdoms crazy and walked through the glass corridor with an indifferent expression. After passing through a clock-shaped roundabout corridor for shelter, he opened the door. Entered the main hall located at the back of the hall.

"who?"

The moment Prince Andrei entered the main hall, a slightly confused voice came from the depths of the main hall.

Prince Andre looked around and found that on the throne on the high platform facing the door, a heroic middle-aged man wearing a royal robe, holding a hour hand scepter decorated with gems, was looking at him with a surprised expression.

"You are..."

After staring at Prince Andre with his emerald eyes, the heroic middle-aged man on the throne opened his eyes unconsciously. Then he first looked at the little boy of twelve or thirteen years old at his hand, and then at the man in front of him. The young man, who was about 27 or 27 years old, immediately said with a confused look on his face:

"Who are you? Why do you look so similar to my Andre?"

Compared with the empty front hall where there are countless booths, the main hall of the Kroc Palace is several times smaller, but it is much more lively. The windows in this room are sealed and the privacy is better. In the main hall, there are more than thirty rows of seats, with more than one hundred and fifty people sitting there.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

After hearing the heroic middle-aged man's inquiry, the people sitting on the seats turned their heads in surprise, looked at Prince Andre, and then let out exclamations.

"It's really..."

"They really look alike!"

"I feel like in fifteen or sixteen years, Prince Andre might look like this."

"Indeed, but his face is too cold and not as cute as His Highness Andre."

"Hey! Who are you?"

"Impolite fellow, guard! Where is the guard?"

"Where is it? Where is he? Let me see too!"

The strange thing is that no matter what words came out of his mouth, no one in the main hall, including the heroic middle-aged man on the throne, got up. Instead, they sat firmly in their seats and turned their heads towards the door. Look.

The problem is that the area of ​​the main hall is not particularly wide, so no matter how many people turn their heads, they cannot see Prince Andrei's face. Even if they can do so by just moving their buttocks a little, no one gets up, and would rather twist into a weird shape. You should also sit in your original position.

“…”

After standing silently at the door for a few seconds, Prince Andrei did not respond to anyone's words, but strode directly into the main hall, stepped on the red carpet spread in the center, passed through more than thirty rows of seats, and stood In front of the heroic middle-aged man.
