Chapter 409 7.63 Entering the Palace
The pursuer disappeared?
After climbing over the palace wall, Loki found that the six sword cultivators who had been chasing him all the way were standing outside the palace wall. The exquisite palace wall, which was only 3 meters high, was like a transparent barrier, keeping everyone outside the wall.
Not only their bodies, but even the flying swords they controlled did not dare to cross the line.
"Hey, Your Highness?"
"Why don't these bastards who have been chasing us all the way dare to enter the palace? Could it be that there are guards in the palace that are more terrifying than them?"
The French prince, who had been used as a shield by him and resisted at least 10 flying sword attacks, was now on the verge of death, and his breathing was so weak that it was difficult to recognize.
However, from beginning to end, he did not say even a word.
The pursuers had disappeared, and it was no use carrying this burden that could die at any time. He gently patted the French prince's cheek, then took off his intact coat and replaced his bloody clothes that were soaked in thick blood plasma.
Wearing the light and thin silk of Donglu and the golden crown and belt belonging to the prince. He turned his head and looked at the exquisitely decorated waterside courtyard in front of him.
A wall less than 3 meters high really divides two worlds.
Not far from the gate of the palace is the bustling streets of Paris. A large group of children gathered in front of the stall of a vendor selling candy with a cart. At the corner, a juggler swallowing a sword and breathing fire showed off his unique skills. At noon, all the shops were open for business.
Hundreds of residents walked through the crowded streets. Vendors waving whips and driving carriages into the city to unload goods; merchants who bought a few cheese pies and planned to go home after completing their purchases were all running for their livelihoods.
However, within the palace just a few hundred meters away, it was so quiet that there was no sound of people and no smell of fireworks.
Looking up again, the seven sword cultivators who were originally suspended in the sky had all disappeared. There was no cloud in the blue sky, only a scorching sun hanging in the center.
Strange
I can feel their presence, but my eyes can't see them.
What's going on?
(Could it be that I have fallen into illusion again without knowing it?)
**
This is not the first time that Loki has seen an illusion that can deceive the eyes.
After crossing over, the first time he saw an illusion was in the "Izumo Trading Company" in Yorkshire.
In the empty hall, a zither player can bring people into the environment simply by relying on the sound of the guqin. When the zither player died under the flying sword of the guard, the illusion immediately dissipated.
In contrast, Nefertiti, as the "Sun Priestess", has a much deeper understanding of illusion.
The Sun Priestess is a master of manipulating light. No need for the sound of the guqin, nor any prerequisite skills. She can directly bring Loki into the "Sun Stairs" in the sea of consciousness and communicate with him in consciousness.
After climbing over the wall and entering the imperial city, Loki smelled the smell of "illusion" again. However, this time it was even more weird because there was not even a living person in front of him.
After walking around the courtyard and returning to the wall, he was more certain that this was a trap.
Because the French prince he abandoned in the corner and the bloody clothes he took off had all disappeared.
The French prince, who was scratched on the neck by himself and stabbed at least 10 times by Lan Bixue's flying sword, was bleeding profusely.
However, at this time, the green grass under the corner was heavily hung with dewdrops, and the flower basket hanging on the palace wall had not been damaged in any way.
The blood that had originally spilled on the grass disappeared, which completely violated the law of "spilt water cannot be collected".
It was as if time was artificially moved forward for more than ten minutes.
Loki didn't know how much manpower it would take to maintain the entire palace in the illusion, but considering that a store of "Izumo Trading Company" seemed to be able to do it. The French royal family was rich, and it seemed that it was not a problem to hire Yuanying sword cultivators to protect the city and afford a few Donglu magicians.
After patting his cheeks hard to cheer himself up, he picked up the axe and walked deep into the palace.
After learning that Yun Province was invaded by the "Dagon Cult", he knew that he would definitely come to this step.
The arrogance of a big country made him have no chance to have an equal dialogue. In this chaotic era, the only way to truly obtain fairness and justice is to hold the axe and kill in front of Edward, the Lord of France, "Long Legs".
Only by holding the axe horizontally in front of the two can he get a chance for a fair dialogue.
The only problem now is how to get out of the illusion in front of him.
**
Loki's understanding of the art of the East Land comes entirely from the online novels he saw in his previous life.
However, the "runes" and "array eyes" that are made up by the author's imagination and random fabrication are not scientific after all. Since he crossed over in this life, he has never personally broken the array.
When he really fell into the illusion, he could only grope and try to crack it.
After walking quietly around the garden. He stopped and made a temporary summary of what he saw in his heart.
First, in this garden with an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, he entered the east and west wing rooms, but he also didn't see a single person.
If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and this "demon" is usually caused by a demon.
Where did this demon hide?
Secondly, there were bunches of flowers in the garden, and the nasal cavity was almost violently filled with rich floral fragrance. Behind all this, the traces of spiritual energy were actually covered up.
Since awakening the "blood of the ancestors", his perception of psychic energy has far surpassed that of ordinary people.
The large demand of the Goldfinch Family for the special rose "White Cloud Night" seems to be mainly for decoration, but in fact, it is to use this kind of alien species to arrange the formation.
When "White Cloud Night" disappeared, the formation that was originally flawless began to show a slack gate.
**
Loki used the simplest way to break the situation - swinging the axe and smashing through everything he saw.
Squinting his eyes, he felt the direction of the psychic energy flow in the air. He chopped down the wall, crushed the petals, and even chopped the floor tiles under his feet into powder as much as possible.
Sure enough, when the exquisite courtyard was destroyed on a large scale, the originally smooth psychic energy flow quickly lost its stability. After losing the carefully constructed operating track, the trickle quickly became violent, and the closed closed loop began to have gaps.
The source of the psychic energy flow pointed directly to a well in the corner of the courtyard.
Standing by the well, Loki could feel that the well was like a fountain, with rich spiritual energy constantly gushing out. It circulated smoothly throughout the courtyard and finally returned to the center of the spring.
Could someone be hiding under the water?
Seeing the sun in the sky gradually shifting to the west, there was no time to waste.
Gripping the axe tightly, he jumped deep into the well.
