Silver Castle, King's Tower, Observatory.

The huge telescope points to the sky, like an ancient cannon. This is the largest traditional astronomical telescope in the entire Ambergris River. Although the observation distance is far inferior to the most advanced radio telescopes, it can observe the starry sky with the naked eye.

The Wei family has been astronomy enthusiasts for several generations, and some family members have discovered new stars.

Beside the telescope, stood a man in his early thirties. He was wearing a long jade robe and a sword at his waist. He was dressed like a neo-Zen Confucian scholar. At this moment, the Confucian scholar looked up at the sky and seemed to be thinking about something.

Quietly, a shadow appeared at the entrance of the corridor.

"Young Master, they are going to blow up the tower." The voice was low and hoarse, like the sound of sharpening a knife.

The Confucian scholar looked at the sky quietly and seemed not to hear.

"Young Master..." Shadow spoke again.

"Let them blow it up..." The Confucian scholar turned around, stared at the shadows in the corridor, and sighed, "The country is about to perish. As the crown prince, I no longer have the dignity to live."

"Little Lord……"

"You go." The Confucian scholar raised his hand, "From today on, you are free."

"No, I won't leave." The hoarse voice seemed a little excited, "Once a slave, always a slave!"

"Why are you doing this?" The Confucian scholar shook his head and sighed slightly.

"Finally, let this slave accompany the young master for a journey." The hoarse voice sounded begging.

"You..." the Confucian scholar exhaled a long breath, "well, it would be nice to have a companion on the road to hell."

"Thank you, young master!" The hoarse voice was full of surprise, as if he had received a great favor.

The shadows on the corridor gradually disappeared.

The expression on the Confucian scholar's face gradually became cold, "Please guard the door for me for the last time."

He whispered, walked to the wall, found a funnel-shaped constellation of stars on an astronomical mural, and pressed hard. The hidden mechanism was activated, and the mural opened upward, revealing the metal ring inside.

The Confucian scholar grabbed the pull ring and pulled it outward. The iron chain made a rattling noise. The sound of gears grinding came from the wall, and a secret passage appeared in the corner of the wall.

It was pitch dark inside. The Confucian scholar squatted down and shined a flashlight inside. Inside was a spiral slide, just like a garbage disposal channel in a hotel.

Without much hesitation, the Confucian scholar got in. With a soft sliding sound, he disappeared at the entrance of the passage.

"Did you hear that? If you don't surrender, we will blow up the tower!"

Below the tower, a tall fat man shouted towards the spiral staircase.

However, the corridor was quiet and there was no response.

"Big Cat, what should we do if they ignore us?" A black guy came up and asked.

"If it doesn't work, just blow it up!" said the big cat.

"No, big cat, there are a lot of valuable things on it, they will be gone if it explodes." Cassie waved her hands and shook her head, like a chimpanzee who could speak human language.

"If the money is gone, it is gone. It is better than letting the brothers die." Big Cat said.

"No, Mr. Qin will be unhappy." "It's okay, I will ask the boss for instructions before blowing up."

The two were arguing when a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"Let me do it."

Da Mao and Cassie were startled at the same time. Both of them were guard-level experts of alien blood, with keen senses, but the other party could appear quietly behind them, so the danger factor could be imagined.

When they turned around and saw that it was the head maid, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is it you? Don't you have to follow Mr. Qin to carry the teapot?" Cassie asked curiously. In his impression, every time he saw the head maid, she would always have a teapot and a plate in her hand.

"The master asked me to come over and see if anyone needs help." Jian Yue Canglian replied, then passed the two people and walked towards the spiral staircase.

Just as Cassie and Big Cat moved away to follow and help, they heard her say, "This is a duel between warriors, please let me face it alone."

Before he finished speaking, countless pink petals floated out from the void, as if encountering vortex airflow, spinning and flying around the slender body, gradually attached to the body surface, forming a pair of bright red armor.

"Be safe!" "Don't tell Mr. Qin that we were hiding behind and not helping!"

Seeing Yue Canglian turned her head sideways, nodded slightly, and then walked up the spiral staircase.

It was quiet for a few seconds, then a red light flashed, and there was a fierce clash of swords.

The tinkling sound keeps ringing, frequency

It was very high, at least three to four times per second. If they were not promoted to the guard level, they would not be able to hear it at all.

The sound of swords clashing continued for several minutes. Suddenly, there was a soft sound and the sound suddenly stopped.

"puff!"

It was the sound of swords entering flesh and blood splattering.

The corridor fell into a dead silence. Da Mao and Cassie stared at the corridor nervously, their breathing stagnant. If the head maid died here, they didn't know how to explain it to Chen Xing.

"Deng Deng Deng!"

The crisp sound of heels sounded, and two long legs came into view, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go up and arrest them!"

"Wei Qingshan is right up there, that's a big fish!"

"Everyone, listen up. Capture the Silver Claw Prince alive and get a reward of one hundred!"

Military police wearing white gloves filed up the spiral staircase and rushed into the observatory.

But it was empty inside, with no one there. After some searching, a military policeman discovered the mechanism on the astronomical map.

"There is a secret passage!" "Hurry up and chase!"

At the same time, people were coming and going in the castle hall. The military police and the captured servants were busy carrying the bodies, cleaning up the blood stains, and cleaning.

"Quick, quick, quick!" "Hurry up!" "Hurry up, the adults are still waiting outside, hurry up!"

Under the constant urging of the gendarmerie captain, the castle hall was cleaned and the floor was as clean as a mirror and spotless. The throne was wiped with alcohol repeatedly to give it a new look.

"The castle has been cleaned, please come in!"

"Brothers, let's go in!"

Chen Xing waved his hand vigorously and led Xiang Caidi, Huo Zui, Lin Shiyuan and other senior officers into the castle hall.

At this time, the double doors have been barely repaired and open to both sides.

The gold-painted red carpet was spread from the door to the bottom of the Silver Claw Throne.

"Oh, it turns out this is the palace." "It's really grand." "It's so big that it can even play ball."

The castle hall is luxuriously decorated, spacious and bright, covering thousands of square meters. It has a square porch and a towering dome, which is full of grandeur.

The throne is located in the middle, with two steps.

According to convention, noble lords are on the first level, heads of principalities are on the second level, and kings of kingdoms are on the third level.

The throne is made of sterling silver, with leather embedded in the middle and armrests, making it look extremely luxurious.

It turns out that this is the seat of power...

Chen Xing circled the throne and gently stroked the back of the throne. After much hesitation, he finally did not sit down. Instead, he sat on the second step of the high platform, leaving the throne empty.

If one day he is going to sit on the throne, it must be the day when mercenaries establish a country.

Except for some responsible for security work, all officers at the brigade and regiment level or above entered the hall.

Most of them were low-level mercenaries. They had never entered the palace, let alone entered as a winner. They were all very curious, touching this and touching that.

"Isn't this thing made of pure gold?" A brigade commander touched the knight's armor that was used as decoration next to the stone pillar. The surface of the armor exuded a faint golden light, which was different from the dazzling gold. It was a very special

Soft shine.

"How much is such a big piece of fine gold worth?" another regiment leader said. As he spoke, he pulled out the gloves of the armor, but he used too much force and the entire armor fell to the ground.

"Haha, are you a primary school student? You break everything." The brigade commander laughed.

"Oops..." The regiment leader who had scattered his armor was a little embarrassed.

At this time, the quartermaster Lu Shanhai happened to come up from behind, patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, maybe I will move out and sell it later, do whatever you want!"

When Chen Xing saw this scene, he immediately said loudly, "Everyone, you are welcome, just treat it as your own home."

"We are the victors, these are our spoils!"

"If you see anything you like, just take it!"

"You can eat whatever good wine or meat you want!"

"Hahaha!" "The boss is so heroic!" "We won't go home until we get drunk tonight!" "Long live!"

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely heated, but everyone maintained considerable restraint and did not really rummage through the boxes or loot things. Anyone who can enter here is a senior officer of the expeditionary force and will not be greedy for property.

Chen Xing pointed at an old man who looked like a butler, who immediately

He trotted over. From his appearance and actions, it was easy to tell that this man was one of the servants of Silver Castle.

"The palace steward, young Trollope, has met your lordship."
