The Federal Imperial City is located in the center of Weiyang Lake.
The golden glazed tiles are outlined with angel elements carved from an unknown material.
In the front pavilion of Weiyang Lake, a huge angel statue stands, with a huge angel halo emitting a light golden halo.
"This statue looks like the one in the copy."
Jiang Yubai murmured.
Jiang Yaoqing followed Jiang Yubai, pressed her heart gently with some doubts, and coughed slightly: "It's a bit like it."
I don't know why, but my heart suddenly felt a slight pain.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Yubai heard that Jiang Yaoqing's tone was not right. He looked back and found that Jiang Yaoqing's face was extremely pale.
Jiang Yaoqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and she stretched out her hand to rub her heart gently: "It's okay."
After saying that, Jiang Yaoqing raised her eyes and looked at the angel statue in the center of the lake.
"I always feel that this statue is very unpleasant to look at."
Jiang Yaoqing's voice was low. As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them saw the envoy coming to greet them.
The messenger was wearing a black seminarian robe worn by priests in ancient times, with a pure purple belt and buttons. Jiang Yaoqing guessed that he should be an ordinary priest.
He saluted both of them.
That is the unique etiquette of the royal family.
"Are they the two from the god-level reserve team?"
Jiang Yubai responded: "Exactly."
"You two can call me Dalalis. I am your guide."
Dalaris looked to be in his twenties or thirties, with a gentle voice and a tone like gurgling spring water. He was slow and unhurried, giving people a feeling of easy communication.
Jiang Yaoqing's eyes lightly swept over the black robe of the seminarian who represented Dalalis, and her eyes paused on the jade pendant in the middle of the purple belt.
If I guessed correctly, this jade pendant should be worn only after entering the royal family.
This person's companion spirit should, not surprisingly, be some kind of angel.
"You two, please follow me."
Dalalis turned around, with a faint fragrance on his body, which should be the smell of royal aromatherapy.
Jiang Yubai and Jiang Yao looked at each other and followed.
"This is your first time coming to the Imperial City. Let me give you a brief introduction."
"The lake you are seeing now is Weiyang Lake in the Imperial City. That statue is a statue of a holy angel. The angel will bless every member of the Federation."
"The halo on the angel statue is a sacred halo, which will wash away the dirt on everyone, thereby achieving the purpose of purification."
Having said this, Dalalis looked at Jiang Yaoqing behind him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Did you feel uncomfortable just now?"
Out of instinct, Jiang Yaoqing shook her head: "It's just the sequelae of the competition."
Dalalis' gaze paused on Jiang Yaoqing, and then he turned away his eyes as if nothing happened.
"Angels will protect all the people of the Federation. If necessary, the angel family can always be trusted."
Jiang Yaoqing paused after listening to Dalalis' words.
The angel family has never been among the five major families.
Because the number of the angel clan is too small and their strength is not considered strong.
But since the intermarriage of elves and elements with angels, the natural abilities of the angel race have undergone changes to varying degrees.
The Angel Clan, the original royal family, merged into the Federation and became the Federation Royal Family.
"What you are about to enter is the side hall of the federal royal family. The side hall is where the prince lives. Princess Sophia and the king are already waiting there."
Dalalis took the lead to walk to the palace and knelt down.
"Dalaris asks to see His Majesty Chris."
Chris is the current head of the federal royal family and a divine controller.
Prince?
Jiang Yaoqing looked towards the palace in front of her.
【come in】
A voice directly rang in Jiang Yaoqing's mental sea, as if being seen through directly, Jiang Yaoqing's face turned pale.
Jiang Yubai was in much better condition than Jiang Yaoqing. He stretched out his hand to gently support Jiang Yaoqing.
"Boy, let's go in."
"Please don't publicize the scene you will see later."
Dalaris nodded to the guards on both sides and took the lead in walking forward.
The outside of the side hall was sealed tightly.
The door was locked tightly, and the two followed Dalalis up the stairs.
Jiang Yaoqing counted the numbers and found that there were three hundred and twenty-five levels in total.
"The main entrance has been completely blocked, we now need to enter through the side entrance."
Dalalis said in a low voice, and then handed Jiang Yaoqing and Jiang Yubai a mask each.
"Please put on your mask. Remember to cover your whole body with spiritual power after entering the side hall. If you can't insist, please ask in time."
Jiang Yaoqing fiddled with the mask in her hand. Now she was far away from the stone statue, and Jiang Yaoqing's condition also recovered slightly.
Putting the mask on her face with her backhand, Jiang Yaoqing controlled the spiritual power in her body to completely cover herself.
Seeing that both of them were ready, Dalalis closed his eyes and muttered some spells that the two of them could not understand.
Jiang Yaoqing could see that light blue fluorescence diffused from Dalalis' body and melted into the side door. The next moment, a very unpleasant fishy smell came from the door.
Jiang Yaoqing held her breath, her amber eyes filled with resistance.
"Please come with me, both of you."
After the side door opened slightly, a layer of light blue light waves appeared around Dalaris.
This should be his spiritual power.
Without hesitation, he opened the door and Dalalis motioned for the two of them to enter.
Jiang Yubai nodded at Jiang Yaoqing and walked in directly.
What hit me head on was a huge, disgusting smell of fish.
Inside were not only Princess Sophia and the king, but also other teams that had entered the finals.
"Everyone is here."
It was Princess Sophia who spoke, but Jiang Yaoqing's eyes were uncontrollably attracted to the huge red bed behind Sophia.
The fishy smell comes from there.
Her ears moved slightly, and Jiang Yaoqing seemed to hear a sticky sound, like the sound of cloth and mucus adhering to each other, and the sound was still rubbing. If she listened carefully, she seemed to be able to hear clearly what was coming from inside. A gentle chewing sound.
It doesn't look like a creature on Blue Star.
It's more like a monster in a copy.
"Hello to all the sixteen teams that entered the finals."
"I'm Chris."
Chris is a gentle-looking man sitting in a wheelchair being pushed by Princess Sofia.
"Please come here because you have something to ask for."
The eight teams present looked at each other, but no one dared to whisper. After all, the person in front of them was the legendary Divine Controller, Chris Mian.
Chris nodded to Dalalis who was standing aside. Dalaris reached out and opened the red curtain in front of everyone, revealing the creature inside.
"This is Prince Crichton."
Seeing Creighton devouring a live fish in front of him, everyone present inevitably exclaimed.
What kind of prince is this?
It was obviously a living monster.
Clayton was drooling from the corners of his mouth, and his cheeks were already covered with fish scales. His scarlet eyes were full of greed for prey. When his gaze dropped, Jiang Yaoqing saw that the man's waist was already covered with scales, and further down...
As expected, it should have turned into a fish tail.
"As you can see, Prince Creighton had some accidents in the last instance. He was cursed by the mermaid and has now turned into a monster that is neither human nor ghost."
"In this junior spirit controller competition, you all performed very well. As the head of the federal royal family, I am very pleased to see children like you in the federation."
"Sophia."
"Yes, Father."
Sophia tucked her broken hair behind her ears, and a pleasant voice rang in everyone's ears: "I invite you all to gather here today, and I have a request."
"After testing by the medical doctor, the prince's illness needs a mermaid heart to cure it."
"The royal family searched through countless live broadcast copies that have not yet been carried out, and finally discovered a second-generation derivative copy of the original world line 006."
"This is an open copy, and its name is [Mermaid Pollution Source]."
Having said this, Sophia looked at everyone present.
"It is speculated that this dungeon will be an A+ level dungeon, and only novice anchors are allowed to enter. It is very difficult."
"The only purpose of looking for you today is to hope that you can enter this open dungeon, retrieve the mermaid heart, and save the prince."
Everyone present fell silent.
Opening the dungeon is already very discouraging, let alone this is a dungeon that is expected to reach A+ in the end.
If you go, you are risking your life.
The king's eyes swept over everyone present: "I believe everyone has made countless guesses before coming here. Yes, today we will select the team that will go to the dungeon, and they will be the champions of the Junior Spirit Controller Competition."
As soon as these words came out, the team present were all stunned.
It's not that they didn't guess, they just didn't expect that the king would speak so frankly.
Like...
There is no fear that they will tell anyone.
"To be honest, this Junior Soul Controller Competition is solely organized by the federal royal family, and this is the reason why the federal government has no involvement. The prize for the champion of this competition is also specially prepared for the team heading to the dungeon."
Some teams present were shaken.
That is an extremely rare attribute spiritual bone, and it is extremely rare in the entire Blue Star.
"We will not take tough measures, but once the championship team is selected, other teams must make way for the championship team."
"Just in case, after selecting the championship team, I will cast a curse on everyone present. If anyone leaks anything, they will die suddenly."
"Of course, each team that enters the top sixteen will receive a sizable reward."
"It depends on what everyone wants."
"Your Majesty, if we enter the dungeon, how should we bring out the things in the dungeon?"
someone present asked.
"Don't worry about this. The Federation will find a solution on its own."
"Your Majesty, if you enter the dungeon and fail to take out the heart..."
Another person asked a question, which was what everyone wanted to ask.
What happens if you fail to complete the mission...
Will the federal royal family just let them die here?
"This question," Chris smiled, "is a very irresponsible statement."
"We choose the team that can bring out the heart. If it doesn't, it's your breach of contract."
"The consequences of breach of contract..."
"It must be obliterated."
I'm taking a day off today. As expected, I will resume updating tomorrow. Dear readers, please forgive me❤️
