Chapter 898: Discovery in the Imperial Palace

Lingyun reached out and pointed at the Void; ripples spread out within the Void, gently striking the walls of the great hall. A complex Magic Array appeared on the hall's wall, flickered a few times, and then extinguished.

"Alright, I have temporarily interfered with all the Magic Arrays in the great hall. Now we can go in and investigate the truth," Lingyun said as he withdrew his hand.

Hearing Lingyun say this, Andiya nodded, then gently pressed her hand against the room door. A flower bloomed quietly on the inner side of the door, releasing wisps of colorless fragrance. After waiting for a while, Andiya gently pushed the door open. The person in the room was sleeping very soundly and had not noticed at all that someone had entered the room.

The decorations in the room were very luxurious, but this could not attract the attention of Lingyun and the others at all. Lingyun did not care, while Aiweier and the other were not interested in such luxurious decorations to begin with due to their race.

"Sure enough, there is something strange about this place!" Andiya's gaze fell upon the decorations on Norton Emperor's bed.

Among the decorations on the bed, there was a ferocious dragon head, and in the dragon's mouth, it held a bead. After getting closer, Andiya could perceive wisps of Death Qi overflowing from the bead, slowly winding toward the direction of Norton Emperor. Although it could not immediately drag him into the embrace of the god of death, it was still causing him to slide toward the abyss bit by bit. If this trend continued, it would not take long before this Norton Emperor could go and report to the god of death.

"This bead should not be the original one, but has been replaced by someone!" Aiweier observed the bead carefully and said. "However, we cannot move this bead for the time being; there is a very powerful detection Array on the bead. If we move this bead, the owner of this bead will notice the situation here!"

"We don't necessarily have to move this bead!" Lingyun said. "The other party's goal is for Norton Emperor to die as soon as possible, so can't we just protect Norton Emperor?"

"That's right, there is such a way!" Aiweier's eyes lit up, and then she pointed toward the direction of Norton Emperor.

Star-like specks of light drifted out from Aiweier's fingertips and landed on a bracelet on Norton Emperor's wrist. A pale green rune slowly emerged on the bracelet, then quickly faded away.

This rune did not have any offensive capability, but it could provide a portion of Natural Power to Norton Emperor. This portion of Natural Power was not strong, but it was just enough to counteract the Death Qi released by that bead.

Seeing this scene, Lingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. If it were the Aiweier of the past, she would not have been able to achieve such precision in the manipulation of Natural Power. It seems that after possessing the Main God Fragment, Aiweier's abilities have also improved quite a bit!

After adding the Natural Blessing to Norton Emperor's bracelet, Aiweier's gaze fell back onto that bead.

"Lingyun, who do you think could have done this with the bead?" Andiya asked.

"As it stands, the three people currently fighting for the throne are all possibilities, and of course, one cannot rule out someone wanting to be the oriole behind the mantis. But what is certain is that if Norton Emperor does not die in a short time, the person hiding in the dark will definitely be unable to restrain themselves. As long as the other party makes any move, we might be able to catch some flaws!" Lingyun said.

The three of them did not stay in Norton Emperor's bedchamber for too long before quietly leaving. This place was only one of the places they needed to investigate; there were still many other places for them to explore.

Soon, Lingyun and the others appeared in front of a tall building. This tall building was the Royal Library of the Norton Empire; inside, there were many precious books, and some of the books were not even in the Elf Temple.

Because the Royal Library housed a large number of precious books, its defensive strength was also quite powerful. In the dark, there were actually one Demigod and three God Domains guarding it.

However, this defensive strength still could not stop the three of Lingyun. The concealment Array set up by Lingyun was absolutely impossible to be detected by people at the level of gods. The three of Lingyun soon entered the Royal Library through an opened window.

As soon as they stepped into the Royal Library, a trace of surprise could not help but appear on the faces of Aiweier and the other. The Magic Element in this Royal Library was actually more than ten times stronger than in the outside world. This was like a giant energy-gathering Magic Array; if one could cultivate in this place, one would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

However, what Lingyun was most concerned about was not the concentration of Magic in the Royal Library, but the peculiar structure of this Royal Library. It seemed that every magic book here was placed in a special position, and the power of all the magic books condensed together to form a balance, and it was precisely this balance that created the extremely high concentration of Magic in this Royal Library.

But in Lingyun's eyes, these magic books constituted a quite special Array, and powerful Magic was surging throughout the entire Royal Library at a special frequency. When there was a need, as long as someone activated the mechanism in this Royal Library, they could turn this Royal Library into a God-Slaying Weapon.

Although judging from the Magic contained in this Royal Library, this God-Slaying Weapon could only be fired three times, but who wouldn't be intimidated when facing such a terrifying God-Slaying Weapon? Moreover, the power of this God-Slaying Weapon was genuinely strong. Back then, a Demon God under the Demon World Lord had once taken a hit. As a result, that Demon God fell on the spot, and even the Demon World Lord did not have time to save him back.

Lingyun had been interested in this God-Slaying Weapon at the time, but in the end, due to time constraints, he did not get to see this weapon. He did not expect that it was actually the Royal Library of the Norton Imperial City. As expected of the Norton Empire, this foundation was still very powerful.

However, Lingyun's attention now was not on these magic books, nor on this God-Slaying Weapon; his target was the secret history of the Norton Empire's royal family.

Because the guards in the dark were all outside the Royal Library, Lingyun naturally had no scruples. His vast Divine Sense spread out from his body, instantly sweeping across the entire Royal Library, and book after book appeared in Lingyun's mind.

Not long after, Lingyun reached out and grabbed at the Void. A book on the bookshelf suddenly detached itself from the shelf, flapped its cover, and flew into Lingyun's hand.

"Is it this book?" Aiweier looked at the book in Lingyun's hand with some curiosity.

Lingyun nodded: "That's right, it is this book. If there is a record in this book, we can basically confirm it."
