In the evening, as the fighting outside the city calmed down, the citizens in the city gradually became quiet. Under the setting sun, every household began to cook dinner.
In the Zhuixing District, in the underground hall of the Prisoner's Gate, everyone is chatting about the war situation outside and predicting what may happen in the future.
At this time Inaniga and Albert hurried to the royal palace.
"Huh?" Bodokasijie looked at Albert in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone?"
Albert said: "There is a little problem."
This sentence surprised Bodokasijie, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the problem? Tell me quickly!"
Albert held the Thousand Eyes Stone and said: "I just made a calculation on the total amount of the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone's release ability. The total amount of energy contained in this Thousand Eyes Stone is not enough to completely cure the evil curse on you, Di Kui."
"What?" Bodokasijie suddenly slapped the armrest of the seat: "Say it again?"
Albert swallowed his saliva and said: "I...I said this Thousand-Eyed Stone is too small. I'm afraid it won't be enough to cure the curse on you."
In the dark hall, the atmosphere of discussion suddenly became quiet.
"Not enough? Haha, you actually told me it wasn't enough!" Bodokasijie said with an angry look on his face: "The Ten Thousand Eyes Stone that I have worked so hard to find for so many years, you are now telling me that it is not enough!"
"This... there's nothing I can do about it, Di Kui, this Thousand Eye Stone is really not enough." Albert looked at Di Kui in fear.
Bodokashijie nodded and said: "Okay, very good. Isn't it enough? Then you should think of a way to make it enough now!"
"I... Di Kui, I..." Albert was anxious and scared, not knowing what to say.
"Don't tell me you can't do it." Bodokajie said angrily: "I will give you half a day, only half a day at most. If you can't think of a way to solve this problem, I will let you die! And it's very, very
A very ugly death!!"
Albert was so frightened that he could not speak.
Bodokasijie banged the chair again: "Did you hear that!?"
"Listen...I heard it." Albert, who was so frightened that he agreed, immediately regretted it.
"Okay, then you are here to think about it now." Bodokasijie shouted: "Go, get him a chair, I will watch you think here." It was obvious that he had been waiting so hard for his own hope for so many years.
Di Kui was completely angry after his hope was shattered.
The chair was moved, and Albert sat down in confusion. The chaotic thoughts made it impossible for him to concentrate on thinking of a solution. However, Di Kui's aggressive eyes made him dare not say that he couldn't do it. Suddenly, the hall was filled with excitement.
The only sound left was his anxious breathing.
…
In the palace of Black Crystal City, Bing Zhixie and Linda searched the king's chamber several times. They found two secret darkrooms, but they never found the king, nor did they find any secret passage.
"What should I do darling? It's been so long, and the hope of finding the king is getting slimmer and slimmer." Linda looked at her husband Bing Zhixie apologetically.
Bing Zhixie comforted: "It's not your fault. You have tried your best. I should have followed you first to ensure the safety of His Majesty the King. It was because I didn't plan well. Now I can only pray to God for blessings and Radat will not fall into the trap."
It’s better to have Zalberg in your hands. I’m curious why you stopped Fann from catching him at noon? At this time, it’s best to catch him first no matter what.”
Linda said: "I discouraged Fann from doing this because there are many experts around Zalberg, and there are also many of his people near the official residence. Once he arrests people, Zalberg will definitely fight tooth and nail."
"Is it because of this?" Bing Zhixie was a little surprised.
"Of course... no." Linda said: "The most important thing is because I believe that even if Darling was in that situation, he wouldn't want to arrest anyone?"
"Oh, why?" Bing Zhixie asked.
Linda said: "When he was confronting the Yinhuang Army, Zalberg didn't appear to be afraid at all. That lack of fear was not a show of pretense. Obviously, even if a fight really started, he would be able to escape unscathed.
Grasp. Darling, you think, Zalberg has been planning this coup for so long, it is impossible not to make full preparations, and with his character, he is not the kind to think about the best in everything and not do the worst.
An optimist who plans. Since there are so many secret passages in the Sombra City palace, and Zalberg has occupied the Prime Minister's residence for so long, wouldn't he make such preparations? He wouldn't be so stupid."
Bing Zhixie nodded: "You are right, he will definitely have such a way to save his life."
Linda said: "Since we can't catch him anyway, it's better to trap him in the Prime Minister's mansion first. If his mansion doesn't have such a secret escape route, then he will definitely jump over the wall and take the initiative to fight with the Yinhuang Army while trapped in the mansion.
Desperately. But the fact that he has been trapped since noon and there is no movement now proves this point. And if you catch him in a hurry, he will destroy all the information and materials that he cannot take away. If you don't force him,
Instead, he will think about taking away some valuable things, so that we can buy some time. Let's go to his official residence tonight to explore the night and see if there is anything gained. Furthermore, buying time may give us a chance to find him.
Although the chance of escaping from the Prime Minister's Residence is slim, it is still worth a try. Now some Guardsmen and Yinhuang Army are already looking for this passage around the official residence and in residents' homes."
Bing Zhixie nodded again and said: "You are right to think so. I also think that catching Zalberg will not be so simple. A smart rabbit will not have only one nest, and Zalberg will not leave him without a way out.
.But do you really want to visit Zalberg’s house tonight?”
"It's not me, it's you." Linda sighed: "Although I hope you will use the power of shadow as little as possible, but you are determined to get Long Ling, and this is the only way to do it at this time. Your shadow's latent and reconnaissance capabilities
You are very strong. Although you were discovered last time you sneaked into the palace, I believe you can do it this time."
"You can give it a try." After saying this, Bing Zhixie became thoughtful again.
Linda asked: "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I was wondering if there is any other way." Bingzhixie said: "Forget it, I haven't found it after searching for so long. I'm hungry. Let's go eat something first. You haven't eaten since noon, right?"
"Eat two pieces of bread."
Bing Zhixie said: "Then let's finish our meal and then continue looking for him."
After simply eating some food in the restaurant, Bing Zhixie said after coming out: "I just thought of an idea, which may help me enter Zalberg's official residence. I have to do something first without going to the palace.
Already."
"Well, Darling, you need to be more careful."
After the separation, Linda returned to the palace again. She found Yinhuang and several officers of the Guards and asked about the latest progress.
The commander of the Guards shook his head and said: "We have searched all the known secret passages and secret rooms in the palace. We have even found many secret passages that we did not know before, but we still haven't found any clues about His Majesty the King. Now we
The focus of the search has been placed outside the palace, and most people have gone outside to inquire for information. However, I think this blind search method is of no use. Your Majesty has been missing for so long, and he should have been hidden by someone long ago."
Another officer said: "But even so, we have to look for it. If we do nothing, we will completely lose hope."
Linda said: "What is certain is that His Majesty must have disappeared from the secret passage, and it was mainly the bedroom, so our search in the palace still focused on the secret passage. It has only been half a day, so we still have
hopefully."
The guard officer said: "Well, then we should continue to search for the secret passage in His Majesty's chamber. I have just sent people to invite several experts from the secret passage agency from the city. They should be able to help."
Arriving at Radat's palace, dozens of people began to search around the big house again. Five professionals who were invited to specialize in secret passages and mechanisms also started investigating and researching around the king's residence.
Linda walked around the various rooms in the dormitory boredly and looked at them. She didn't know how many times she checked every room here. She opened all the cabinets that could be opened, and moved all the furniture and furnishings that could be moved.
It can be said that they have searched every place. And the soldiers took small hammers and knocked along the wall inch by inch. As long as they heard the sound of "dong dong", they would definitely take it apart and take a look at the hollow wall.
Unconsciously, Linda returned to Radat's bedroom. The quilt on the ivory bed had already been lifted and thrown out. At this time, two soldiers were knocking back and forth on the jade-fat ivory bed with the handles of their knives.
This beige jade-ivory bed is very strange. It is not like an ordinary movable bed, but is fixed in the center of the room like a square stone platform. The bed and the floor are integrated into one and cannot be moved.
Walking big bed.
After the soldiers knocked once, the noncommissioned officer next to them asked: "How is it?"
The two soldiers shook their heads and said there was no mechanism.
The sergeant was a little worried and said: "Look again, knock more carefully, it doesn't matter if you knock harder, you must hear clearly."
"Yes." The two soldiers lay down on the bed and started looking for it again, knocking carefully back and forth on the bed surface, the sides of the bed, and the floor beside the bed.
Linda held the sickle and knocked it left and right, and sighed helplessly.
At this time, a soldier came in with an old man: "Sir, this man came to you and said that he might be able to provide some clues to the secret passage of the palace to help us."
"Oh." The officer stepped forward and said, "Hello, old gentleman, I wonder what clue you are talking about?" He was so anxious to find the king that he even forgot to ask for his name.
The old man said: "I used to be the administrator of the Royal Library, but now I am retired. There used to be many books in the Royal Library, but now many of those books have been moved away."
