The more he explored, the more Ye Qiong discovered how powerful the five nobles were.
The military power was placed in the hands of Knight Commander Bertans.
Duke White Eagle had all the say in the court, and most of the nobles in St. Kaner City had taken refuge with the Duke.
Under this situation, no matter how talented George is, he can only be a puppet king.
The nobles in the imperial city couldn't count on it, and none of the forces in Shengkan'er City relied on the royal family.
The nobles in the north and south took refuge in Sharp Nina, Countess of Tulip, and House Burt, King of Northland. It can be said that no noble in the entire Apocalypse Empire agreed with King George.
The only ones they recognized were the five nobles behind the scenes.
Logically speaking, with such power, it would be easy for them to replace a king, but in fact they did not do so, even if George offended a favored person.
From the inaction attitude of Knight Commander Bertans and White Eagle Duke during this period, it is not difficult to see that they do not want to offend "Calvis".
But I just didn't want to offend, and I didn't do any deeper gestures of kindness.
During the past four days, they did not find anyone who had contact with "Calvis". It was obvious that Apponias had deliberately left some traces of the clone.
It can only be said that it is very strange. The attitudes of these five nobles are quite strange.
Seeing that the night was getting dark, he put on black clothes, changed his appearance, and walked out from behind the church. Today, he planned to explore around the Duke's Palace.
During this period of time, he has been observing the Duke's Palace with the help of the Eye of the Sky.
He discovered that the Duke of White Eagle had never even walked out of his own room, let alone the Duke's Palace.
No wonder there are rumors in the city that Duke White Eagle is seriously ill in bed. You must know that the common people at the bottom and even the middle and upper nobles have not seen Duke White Eagle for three years.
This phenomenon is enough to illustrate the fact that Duke White Eagle is in a deep sleep to extend his life.
He tiptoed to the vicinity of the Duke's Mansion. After several days of exploration, he already knew the weakest defense point of the Duke's Mansion. He jumped onto the high wall with one leap, and then jumped into the Duke's Mansion.
With the surveillance of the Sky Eye, he knew the actions of the guards in the palace very well. He easily bypassed the patrolling guards and then walked towards the Duke's Palace.
In fact, for him, the way to find the location of the White Eagle Duke is very simple, just follow the strong dragon aura in the air.
As expected of the descendant of the original Flame Dragon, such a powerful aura can be easily discerned even without careful observation.
He did not immediately go in the direction of the dragon aura because he was not sure whether Duke White Eagle was really sleeping.
With the ability to activate the Eye of the Sky, he created an eyeball out of thin air on his right hand, causing it to float and fly forward.
This is his usual approach, first use the Eye of the Sky to observe the enemy's situation, and then set off after confirming that everything is correct.
Connecting his vision to his eyes, he clearly saw the scene ahead.
The Duke's Palace was huge, and it would take a lot of time to visit it all. He ordered his eyes to fly towards the place where the dragon's aura came from with a clear purpose.
Soon, they arrived in front of a room.
The windows and doors of this room were locked. If it weren't for the dragon aura in the room, Ye Qiong would have thought it was an empty room without anyone living in it.
He controlled his eyes to fly towards the room, and he himself was not idle at this time, groping around in the Duke's Palace.
Soon, the manipulated eyeball flew into the room smoothly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Qiong was slightly surprised.
Although the room is huge, because there are few coverings, the whole room can be seen clearly at a glance.
This is obviously the place where the dragon aura comes from, but the strange thing is that there is no one inside?
He controlled his eyes and looked around. Most of the decorations inside contained strong laws of fire. Therefore, the temperature of this room was much higher than that of the outside world. When ordinary people came here, they would immediately I was sweating profusely because of the hot environment.
This environment may be difficult for humans to adapt to, but it is just the right time for Duke White Eagle. After all, he is the descendant of the original Flame Dragon.
He sent his eyes to search around the room, but found nothing. This is obviously the place where the dragon's aura comes from, but Duke White Eagle is not here?
Ye Qiong quickly thought of the reason.
There may be a dark room hidden in this room, where Duke White Eagle sleeps.
After getting this information, Ye Qiong did not continue to send his eyeballs to continue searching. Even if he found the dark room, he could not really go in. If he made too much noise, it would be easy to get the sleeping Duke White Eagle. Awake.
Just when he was about to exit, he suddenly saw a small statue in the room.
This placement was not conspicuous, so Ye Qiong was not able to discover it in time during the first search.
He sent his eyeballs to fly over, and after seeing the whole picture of this small statue, he couldn't help but secretly said:
"No wonder."
Looking from a distance, he felt that the statue looked very familiar. It was the statue of the Holy Father.
During this period of time, he had been staying in the church, and he did not miss the statue of the Holy Father.
What makes him a little strange is why the statue is placed in such a place?
If the Duke of White Eagle is devout in his faith, then he should place this small statue in the shrine and worship it day and night. What does it mean to put it in this corner where it is difficult to be discovered?
If you are not religious, then what is the point of hiding a statue of the Holy Father in your room? Why, seeing that the Holy Father was unhappy, he took out a statue to vent his anger?
This is a world where there are real gods. Even if the Holy Father has been missing for hundreds of years, no one will dare to do anything.
It can only be said that Duke White Eagle's behavior can only be described as strange.
In order to avoid being exposed, Ye Qiong retracted his eyes and retreated from the room.
And he himself had already walked around the Duke's Palace, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything big.
He jumped familiarly to the high wall, jumped back to the ground.
I have to say that the Eye of the Sky is really a good ability to sneak in, easily helping him bypass the guards.
At this time, he was wearing black clothes, so it was not easy to be spotted in the night. He walked into the deserted street, intending to bypass the guards and return to the church.
Thanks to the help of the Eye of the Sky, the process went extremely smoothly, and he returned to the church within a short time.
He quietly walked to the back door, pushed it gently, and opened the door. Following the moonlight, he saw the scene inside the door.
There is actually a person in the church?
An old man was sitting on a bench, with his head raised and his eyes squinting contentedly, as if he was taking a nap?
He has always used the Eye of the Sky ability to monitor the church. How did this old man get in? Obviously the locks on the front door are in good condition.
The most important thing is that this old man seems to be just an ordinary person, but he inexplicably brings a sense of crisis to Ye Qiong.
He had only felt this feeling from the knight of despair.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, this old man is extremely dangerous.
Ye Qiong grabbed the door handle and silently wanted to close the newly opened back door, but he did not expect that at this moment, the old man who was dozing with his eyes squinted actually spoke.
"You're already here, why don't you have a chat with me, an old man?"
Bang.
The back door was closed.
Ye Qiong turned around and ran forward without hesitation.
At this moment, something strange happened. He was obviously running forward vigorously, but the surrounding scenery did not change at all.
In just a blink of an eye, he was back in the church again.
It was as if what he had just done to escape was just something that happened in his imagination.
His eyes were once again focused on the old man who was leaning on the bench with his eyes closed to meditate. The strange method just now must have come from this guy.
Ye Qiong tried to summon Apponias, but found strangely that he could not establish contact with him at all.
His connection with Apponias is extremely deep, and the only way to achieve this is to pull him into an unfamiliar realm and cut off his connection with Apponias.
To be able to do something of this level, this old man's strength must be at least level six.
At this time, Ye Qiong couldn't help but secretly said:
"Trouble."
This time he did not choose to escape because he knew that this was the opponent's domain and it would be of no use even if he escaped.
"who are you?"
He did not choose to get closer, but stayed near the back door, maintaining a relatively safe distance.
"Spencer Quint, another name you might be more familiar with."
The old man tilted his head, and his originally squinted eyes opened. They were a pair of extremely dark snake-like vertical pupils. Just one glance made Ye Qiong's hair stand on end.
"The Immortal Snake."
Hearing this name, Ye Qiong's pupils suddenly got a little bigger. This name was like thunder, and he didn't expect that this immortal snake would come so quickly and come to the church without him noticing. Guard him.
Spencer saw Ye Qiong's alertness and comforted him like an old man who cares about his younger generation:
"Don't worry, young man, I won't do anything to you."
As he spoke, his eyes moved toward the window, as if looking at the moonlight outside the window.
In fact, only he knew that what he was looking at was the desperate knight who had been guarding Calvis.
"After all, even I don't have the ability to kill people under the eyes of a god."
After saying this, he laughed as if to himself:
“The gap between the sixth level and the seventh level is not that big.
Don't worry, I just want to take a look at you and chat with you this time. This isn't too much to ask for, right? "
When he said this, Spencer's tone was extremely lonely, like a lonely old man trapped in a village who rarely saw someone to talk to and wanted to chat with him.
Regarding this seemingly reasonable request, Ye Qiong wanted to say "NO" decisively, but unfortunately Spencer did not give him any room to refuse at the moment.
"Come and sit down and chat, young man, if I remember correctly, your name should be Calvis."
After saying that, he patted the vacant space next to him, and then the expression on his face was very easy-going, but his words revealed an attitude that could not be refused.
Ye Qiong also understood that even if he escaped from the church again, the old man would have other ways to catch him back.
Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still sat down next to Spencer.
"You are extraordinary."
This was the first thing Spencer said to him after sitting here.
"No, I'm just an ordinary person."
"Ordinary people?"
Spencer seemed a little scornful of these words. He turned his head and looked directly into Ye Qiong's eyes.
"There's a lion in your eyes."
Hearing this, Ye Qiong subconsciously wanted to touch his eyes.
"I was just speaking metaphorically, young man."
After that, he took out a wish-fulfilling grass from somewhere, lit it, put it in his mouth, and took a pleasant puff.
"This trip is indeed the right one. It is not that simple to be chosen by that desperate knight.
How about it, have you considered joining the serial hunting team?
Even though the old man is like this, I am also one of the seven prophets, and I have some say in the serial hunting team.
If you are willing to join, I guarantee that your status will be in the serial hunting team, only below the leader and the seven prophets. "
Ye Qiong has secretly investigated the so-called seven prophets. The seven of them have different genders, ages, and living environments. They were guided by mysterious powers and met in the same place.
They did not communicate in any language, but they knew that each other was the chosen one, and Spencer, the immortal snake, was one of them.
As for the leader of the serial hunting team, Ye Qiong currently only knows one name, and that is Matilda Norma. As for whether he is a man or a woman, even some senior leaders of the serial hunting team do not know.
Ye Qiong pretended to be thinking, and after about a minute passed, he gave his answer:
"I reject."
"Is it because of White Snake? Don't worry, you and he don't have any deep hatred. Besides, if you are willing to join the serial hunting team, the task of recovering the Sky Eye will also be completed. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone,"
"It's not because of this."
"What is that? Don't you want to take revenge on the empire? It's better to rely on an organization than to fight alone."
"I do not believe you."
Ye Qiong stated his reasons very straightforwardly.
"I only know a little bit about the serial hunting team, and I know nothing about you. Why should I join a force I don't understand at all?"
Spencer took a breath of wishgrass and exhaled a long breath.
"So that's it. Let me ask you, in your eyes, what kind of organization is the Sequence Hunting Group?"
Ye Qiong lowered his head, thought for a while, recalled the two reincarnations of the White Snake, and gave his answer:
"An organization that will do whatever it takes to collect sequence capabilities."
