A few hours later, the bloody chariot crossed half of the Western Continent and arrived at Atris City, the royal capital of Neuss.
Viewed from a high altitude, the entire city is simple and elegant, full of strong historical atmosphere. Ancient ruins can be seen everywhere, including ancient castles, magnificent gardens, quiet streets, lively fountains, and old churches among green trees and red walls. , seems to be an architectural history of the Western Continent.
Atris City is one of the oldest cities in the Western Continent, with a history of more than five thousand years. There are traces of human activities in the barbaric era.
The bloody chariot flew directly into the palace, and as soon as it landed, a large group of people ran over to greet it.
"Welcome to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Neuss."
"Welcome to the Queen of Ice Blue City."
"I want to go back to the room. Everyone except Victor, please go back." Cuilis said simply and dismissed the welcoming crowd in one sentence.
"Why don't you go to the main hall to meet His Majesty first?" asked the kingdom elder whom Triris called "Victor".
"If the king doesn't see the king, he will disappear if nothing happens."
Triris said, as if she didn't want to see her father.
"good……"
Elder Victor seemed to be accustomed to this, and without much persuasion, he followed Cuillis through the atrium garden of the palace and came to the foot of a tall tower.
"We'll wait for you up there." After saying that, Cuilis took Chen Xingfei to the top of the tower and entered the room through the window.
"ah!"
"Chang, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
Suddenly, someone broke in through the window. The maid in the room first screamed loudly. When she found out it was Triris, she immediately bowed and saluted.
Cuilisi walked straight to the corner of the room, pulled out two white wicker chairs, and asked Chen Xing to sit down. She seems to be very familiar with the environment here, and the few maids in the room did not show any surprises. They should come back often.
After a while, Victor ran up sweating profusely, his steps trembling. It was really difficult for him to climb such a high tower at this grade.
"Old minister, I have met the eldest princess."
Out of breath, Victor hurriedly visited Triris.
"Take our Prime Minister to the treasure house to see if there is anything suitable for him." Cuilis ordered before the other party could take a breath.
Victor looked Chen Xing up and down, then bowed and accepted the order, "Yes!"
Chen Xing was fuming on the sidelines. There were so many red tapes in the palace that even when he spoke, he had to pay attention to his place. He could just say no downstairs and have to go down the stairs again.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please come this way."
After a while, Victor took Chen Xing down the spiral staircase from the Princess Tower, passed through the atrium garden again, entered the palace, and came to the underground palace below.
The outside was heavily guarded, but there was no one inside. The dim candlelight illuminated the mottled ancient bricks and stones, and the sound of footsteps spread far away, making the place feel cold and empty.
After walking for more than 20 meters, the two came to the door of a vault. Dozens of thick steel pillars stood in front of them, locking the door firmly. It's so strong that it can't even be exploded by a nuclear bomb.
Victor ran left and right, spinning the wheel. After working for a while, he finally opened the door.
There was a flash of golden light in front of my eyes, and all my sights were covered by mountains of gold coins. Countless rare treasures were buried in the gold coins, gorgeous boxes inlaid with gems, crosses with flowing silver, and dazzling pearls and agates...
However, these gold jewelry cannot attract Chen Xing's attention. If it were a few years ago, his eyes would be shining and he would like to rush into the gold mountain to swim. But now he holds the Ice Blue City treasury, and ordinary treasures cannot enter him at all. eyes.
What really attracted him was a small hall of about a hundred square meters in the innermost part of the treasure house.
It was filled with display shelves, and tattered objects were carefully placed on the shelves. It looks tattered and written with fragmentary things, but it exudes a mysterious glimmer.
Undercurrent relics, fake artifacts, everything.
Countless spiritual energy fluctuations radiated outward, like tides, and one of them had the same amplitude as Chen Xing's spiritual energy fluctuations, which resonated strongly.
Chen Xing took three steps at a time and came to one of the shelves. There was a piece of metal displayed on the shelf, with a faint golden light emitting from the surface.
that's it!
As if afraid of being snatched away, Chen Xing quickly took it out and held it in his hand for fear of losing it.
Turning around and seeing Elder Victor looking at him, Chen Xing remembered that this was someone else's treasure house.
"Is this ok?"
Chen Xing asked, but in fact he had no intention of discussing it at all. He held it tightly in his hands, as if he would forcefully escape at any time.
"The eldest princess has already said that no matter what the Prime Minister needs, we will fully cooperate and get whatever he asks for."
Elder Victor nodded and answered.
"What is this?" Chen Xing recovered from the excitement of harvesting the treasure, opened his palm again, and showed it to Victor.
"Hmm..." Elder Victor looked at it for a while, then frowned, thought hard for a while, raised his head and said, "I remembered, this is not an ordinary undercurrent relic, but a token."
"What token?" Chen Xing asked.
"This is a fragment of the Holy Grail, a token given by the Holy See of Holy Light to every country that believes in the Holy Light."
"You mean, it's not an undercurrent relic, but a complete fake?" Chen Xing asked.
Elder Victor nodded.
Undercurrent relics are usually fragments, and their psychic aggregates exist in the undercurrent of time and space, but for complete artifacts, their psychic aggregates follow the main body and are not in the undercurrent of time and space. In other words, it cannot be guided and can only be directly quenched.
"Can you find the remaining fragments?" Chen Xing asked again.
"You have to ask the Holy Light Holy See about this. As a country that believes in the Holy Light, Noyes only has one piece of the Holy Grail."
"What can we do..." Chen Xing looked disappointed. There are thirty or forty countries in the red earth world where the Holy Light Church is the state religion. It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to collect them all.
However, Chen Xing did not give up immediately. Instead, he went back to discuss with Cuilis and said that he wanted to visit the Holy Light Church.
The Holy Light Holy See is located in the middle of the four countries of Neuss, Wright Kingdom, Sachs, and Quines, not far away.
Triris summoned the bloody chariot and arrived in half an hour.
In front of the magnificent Holy See, Chen Xing rang the bell. This was not the first time he came to the Holy Light Church. Lumsden had brought him here last time because of the Abyssal Brand, and with the help of the Saint, he temporarily sealed the Abyssal Brand, cutting off the Gluttonous Lord from tracking him.
The door of the church soon opened, and a young monk came out.
"Today is not a day for pilgrimage."
"I am Chen Xing, Prime Minister of the Red Kingdom, and I want to see the Pope." Chen Xing said straight to the point.
"Do you have an appointment?" the young monk asked businesslikely, as if the words "Prime Minister of the Red Kingdom" could not get him special treatment.
"We have met before." Chen Xing said.
"Then there will be no reservation." The young monk turned around and entered the church, preparing to close the door. Chen Xing quickly stepped forward and stopped him, "I have something urgent, please inform me!"
"Come back when you have an appointment." The young monk said expressionlessly and continued to close the door hard.
At this moment, a hurricane blew in. The young monk fell backwards without warning, and the door opened completely with a "bang" sound.
Cuillis slowly walked up the steps of the church, her red lips were like fire, and she uttered cold syllables one by one, "Let the Pope come out to meet you, or I will tear this place apart!"
