Chapter 777: Alchemy Emperor
The Imperial Palace.
Thanks to the cover of the Holy Light Guards and Shadow Guards, Bai Qi and his party entered the palace very easily.
"As expected of the inventor of alchemy, this palace is the culmination of all alchemy!"
Bai Qi quietly observed the surrounding environment. After seeing the various alchemical products, he suddenly felt itchy and almost exposed himself.
"Human, please calm down. Our goal is to find out who the traitor is. Don't lose sight of the big picture."
Shuke's serious face gave Bai Qi a warning, and Bai Qi immediately withdrew his gaze in dismay. However, when he saw the soldiers around him looking around as if they had ADHD, he could not help but complain in his heart.
"Before you criticize me next time, remove your abilities first."
The man and his pet were bickering secretly based on the contract, but the Holy Light Guards and the Shadow Guards stopped at the same time.
Bai Qi looked forward quietly and found two middle-aged men standing quietly in front of the door of a hall.
Both of them had blonde hair and blue eyes, and their faces were even very similar, but their clothes were completely different, one was pure black, and the other was pure white.
"Are they the leaders of the Holy Light Guard and the Shadow Guard?"
The information he had extracted from those soldiers suddenly emerged in Bai Qi's mind. He immediately retracted his gaze and stopped looking.
He hasn't met the Dark Emperor yet, so he can't create any trouble. After all, the man who can serve as the leader of two armies is not likely to be a good person.
Fortunately, these two people did not notice anything unusual about Bai Qi and others. After seeing the two guards arrive, they started walking towards the hall.
Dongdong~
The two of them knocked gently on the palace door, and it opened.
The two were obviously used to it and took the lead into the palace, while the Holy Light Guards and Shadow Guards followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Bai Qi and his companions immediately followed, but after passing through the gate, they were shocked by the scene behind the gate.
It’s not that they saw any horrifying scene, but that this palace was completely different from what they had expected.
According to records, the Dark Emperor had a changeable mood and was moody, and he would often target people around him, which is why he was given the name of the Dark Emperor.
It is for this reason that Bai Qi expected that the Dark Emperor’s palace would be filled with a mysterious or evil atmosphere.
But right before their eyes, the huge palace was filled with messy things that had no apparent use.
Such a messy place, how can it be a palace? It's clearly a large otaku's room!
"Bai Qi, why do I feel that this place is very similar to your studio..."
Zhuge Chen carefully looked around and spoke to Bai Qi through the Husky's soul connection.
"Don't slander me, my studio is very tidy!"
Bai Qi glared at Zhuge , then looked forward curiously.
Passing by piles of debris, Bai Qi could vaguely see a young man in a short robe concentrating on carving something. It seemed that he did not notice the arrival of Bai Qi and others.
The two leaders were obviously not surprised by this. They strode forward and bowed to the young man.
"Minister Luke Borg."
"Chenseth Borg."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The voices of the two people seemed to affect the young man's performance. He drew a long mark on the wooden block with his right hand, and the wooden block began to shake rapidly. One could vaguely see a hot force bursting out from it.
Seeing this, Luke Borg suddenly took action and released a ball of light to wrap up the block of wood.
Afterwards, the wooden blocks exploded, but were all blocked by the ball of light and had no effect on the young man.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with you being obsessed with alchemy, but you still have to pay attention to your own safety."
Luke Borg glanced at the young man with a hint of reproach, but the young man still seemed to have not woken up from his research. He raised his head blankly, and after seeing the Holy Light Guards and the Shadow Guards, there was some light in his eyes.
Is he the Dark Emperor?
A gleam of light flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and he looked at the young man in front of him curiously.
His hair was unkempt and his eyes seemed confused, but there was a unique brilliance hidden deep inside.
Bai Qi was very familiar with this kind of brilliance. Like his parents, it was the brilliance that only people who were obsessed with research would have.
This Dark Emperor looks different from what is recorded?
"My dear ministers, is it already the routine inspection day for the Holy Light Guard and the Shadow Guard?"
The Dark Emperor scratched his head, strode to a Holy Light Guard, examined the Holy Light from top to bottom as if he were playing with a toy, and then ran to check the Shadow Guard.
Judging from the situation, he apparently intends to check all the guards.
"Bai Qi, what should we do? Should we take action?"
Bai Qiucha asked immediately upon seeing this, but Bai Qi was not in a hurry at all and signaled them not to move.
Soon, the Dark Emperor came in front of the few people, but just like before, after a quick inspection, he returned to his desk again.
"Just as I expected, the Holy Light Guard's energy transmission is still not smooth, and the Shadow Guard's body is still affected by the power of shadow."
As he spoke, the Dark Emperor began to write on the paper, handed it to the two of them, and said, "Just refine it again according to what I wrote."
"We understand."
Luke Borg nodded slightly and took a step back, while Set Borg stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the activities of the beasts in the surrounding area have become more frequent recently. I suspect that the tribe may have made some moves. Please grant me the command of the army to prevent any accidents."
"The tribe? Is that the old fox?"
Hearing the name of the tribe, Dark Emperor's eyes suddenly brightened. He took out a token from his arms and threw it to Seth Borg.
"I'll leave the tribal affairs to Lord Set. You must stop the beasts outside the border. As for the safety of the people around, I'll leave it to Lord Luke."
"This is our duty. Your Majesty, you are too kind."
They both knelt on the ground together, their movements in unison, as if they had rehearsed them in advance.
"Okay, okay, I still need to continue my research. You guys can go out first."
The Dark Emperor seemed to have no interest in these things. He yawned and ordered them to leave. The two of them were not surprised and slowly left the palace.
However, Bai Qi and his companions stayed.
Husky's soul concealment, Cordyceps' illusion, Delta's space transfer.
With the perfect cooperation of their pets, the two Borg brothers didn't even notice any problems with their own team.
"It is indeed the Borg family. Judging from their appearance, they are of high status."
Bai Qiucha glanced at the direction the Borg brothers left, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"But why are they so weak? They are not as strong as the Holy Light Guards."
"Don't you realize they are also beast masters? They have already mastered the power, so they won't take the risk of human body transformation."
Bai Qi was not surprised at all. From what he had learned so far, although the method of training the Holy Light Guards was different from that in the underground palace, it would also affect people's minds.
Judging from the conversation these two had with the Dark Emperor just now, they might be waiting for the Dark Emperor to completely perfect this technology before integrating it.
However, considering that the Borg family later used the bird of paradise to carry the power of angels, it should have been unsuccessful.
"Shouldn't it be time for the uninvited guests to come out?"
At this moment, the voice of the Dark Emperor suddenly reached the ears of Bai Qi and others, and Bai Qi and the other two were stunned.
"Bai Qi, your hiding method has been broken?"
Ahhhh!
(Impossible, my mental strength is stronger than everyone here, he can’t possibly notice!)
Beta immediately got furious upon hearing this, while Delta and Cordyceps also said that they did not notice any signs of being surveyed.
"Your hiding skills are very strong, but unfortunately, no matter how well you hide, the material changes in this room will not deceive people."
The Dark Emperor opened his eyes, and a scale appeared in his eyes, staring straight at the place where Bai Qi and others were hiding.
"Material change? Equivalent exchange? Well, it seems we have been sold out by the law of conservation of energy."
Looking at the strange eyes of the Dark Emperor, Bai Qi quickly removed his concealment and appeared in front of the Dark Emperor .
"I am sorry , Your Majesty, to appear before you in this way, but we are not enemies."
Bai Qi bowed slightly to the Dark Emperor and explained.
"I know. If you were enemies, I wouldn't have waited until now to call you out."
The Dark Emperor nodded, looked Bai Qi and the others up and down, then returned to his seat and continued tinkering.
Have they been discovered a long time ago?
Bai Qi was a little surprised when he saw this, while Beta lay on the ground with a frustrated look on his face, obviously feeling greatly stimulated.
Ahhhhhhh…
(How could my hidden tricks be discovered?)
"This stupid dog, it's rare for him to be so decadent~"
Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, but he wasn't surprised at all.
Alchemy is about equal exchange and is most sensitive to changes in matter.
He didn't know whether the Dark Emperor had any special talents or had contracted a special pet, but it was obvious that the Dark Emperor could easily perceive changes in the surrounding matter.
Although they used various means to hide, they inevitably affected the surrounding energy, so it was reasonable for them to be discovered by the Dark Emperor.
Just through this brief contact, it seems that the Dark Emperor is not the cruel emperor as recorded in the records, but more like a pure researcher.
But if that's the case, then what about the evil Dark Emperor armor on the South China Sea island?
Bai Qi looked up at the Dark Emperor who was immersed in alchemy, shook his head, and cast away his doubts.
History does not lie, but records do.
Judging from what they saw outside, it would be abnormal for the historian to record this person as a good person.
"Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?"
"Is it your intention to transform humans and beasts into human bodies?"
Bai Qi stared at the Dark Emperor with sharp eyes, while Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen held their breath, waiting for the Dark Emperor's answer.
Hearing Bai Qi's question, a look of understanding appeared on Dark Emperor's face. He raised his head and looked at Bai Qi and said.
"Yes, this is not only my idea, but I also developed the human body refining formation."
