The mirror in front of Liu Zheng was a type of magic tool called the Cheng Ying Mirror.
It was very strange that it could allow two people who were thousands of miles apart to talk directly.
Although the grade of this magic tool was very low, its cost was very high. Only a noble family like the Liu family could afford it.
Liu Zheng had been sent out as the governor of Blackstone County, and was considered one of the elites of the Liu Clan, which was why he had been rewarded by the clan.
However, it was only allowed to be used when reporting urgent matters.
He had been in Blackstone County for ten years, and this was the third time he had used this magic mirror.
Not long after Liu Zheng's words left his mouth, a ripple appeared on the surface of the mirror, revealing the image of a woman.
This woman looked to be in her thirties and was dressed in black. Her expression was very cold and she said without any emotion,"Liu Zheng, don't you see what time it is? The family head is already asleep. If there's anything you need to tell me, I'll pass it on to the family head tomorrow.”
Liu Zhengdao said," The situation is urgent. I have to report it to the family head immediately."”
The woman in black was surprised, but she quickly regained her composure and said coldly,""Liu Zheng, do you mean I should wake up the family head? Think about it carefully. If the matter you report is not important enough, what kind of consequences will you bear?”
"I, I'm sure!"
Liu Zheng was a little nervous, but he said firmly.
He believed that what he had reported was worth the family head waking up in the middle of the night.
"Alright, I'll go and invite the family head over now.”
The woman in black gave Liu Zheng a look that told him to pray for his own good, then turned around and walked out.
Liu Zheng became even more nervous.
Although he was also a disciple of the Liu Clan, he was only from a side branch.
Even if he became a Prefectural Governor, he would not have the chance to get close to the head of the Liu Family.
In fact, he had only met the head of the Liu family a few times in his life.
If the two of them ran into each other on the street, even the head of the Liu family might not be able to recognize him.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
Following the sound of footsteps, the figure of an old man appeared in the mirror.
It was the head of the Liu family, Liu He.
Although he was already in his seventies, Liu He had taken good care of himself. There weren't many wrinkles on his face. He was thin and had a refined temperament, but there was a faint sense of dignity about him.
He had the aura of someone who had been in power for a long time and was not angry.
"Liu Zheng, why did you call this old man over so late at night?”
Liu He said calmly.
He was very shrewd. Although he was very unhappy to be pulled up in the middle of the night, he did not show it on his face.
Liu Zheng hurriedly bowed and said," Reporting to the Clan Leader. At noon today, a strange sight suddenly appeared in the sky above Black Rock City. It was the corpses of nine pure-blooded ownerless Black Dragons pulling a huge bronze coffin. Everyone in Black Rock City could see it. After a few breaths, the strange scene of the nine dragons pulling the coffin disappeared without a trace.”
Liu He's eyes lit up as he muttered,""This is a big deal. Although I don't know if there are really pure-blooded dragons in this world, the strength of any dragon-shaped demon race is extremely terrifying. It's definitely not something our Crimson Firmament Divine Dynasty can provoke. "It must be an expert from another large domain who happened to pass by. Pay more attention and don't cause any trouble for the time being to avoid offending that expert.”
In this fantasy world where the strong reigned supreme, the difference between realms was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Experts at the Spirit Severing Stage and above could easily destroy a country. A weak country like the Crimson Firmament Divine Dynasty could not afford to provoke them.
Liu Zhengdao: " There's one more thing. The surface of the bronze coffin was scattered with a lot of black gravel. I ordered someone to collect it and find an appraiser to identify it. I wanted to deduce some clues from it, but I didn't expect…"
Liu He nodded and said," Your idea is very good. As the saying goes, there is no danger if we are prepared. The transit of foreign experts is a major event related to the foundation of the country. It is not too much to be cautious. If you can't identify the result, you can send the black gravel to the Holy Capital. I'll personally find someone to identify it.”
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,""The results are out, but it's a little…unbelievable.”
He pondered for a long time and could only think of the word 'incredulous.'
Liu He frowned." As the father and mother of a county, why are you so hesitant? Tell me what the result is."”
Liu Zheng saw that Liu He was a little angry and did not dare to hesitate anymore. He said directly,"Family Head, the appraiser said that these black grains of sand have existed for at least 500,000 years. In other words, this bronze coffin was very likely from the Mythological Era.”
"What did you say? Mythological Era?"
Liu He's eyes widened, and all his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
Mythological Era?
A bronze coffin from the Mythological Era passed by the sky above Blackstone County?
Wasn't this a fantasy?
"Nonsense! As a disciple of the Liu Clan, is this all you have? What appraiser's words could be believed? The Liu family has invested a lot of resources into you, and this is how you behave? Liu Zheng, you disappoint me!……”
Liu He shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Liu Zheng listened quietly and said," That appraiser is Cui Yi.”
Silence!
Liu He felt as if someone had suddenly grabbed him by the neck, and he swallowed all the words of reprimand.
Cui Yi was an authoritative name in the appraisal world!
No matter how old and muddle-headed he was, he would not make such a judgment without absolute certainty.
In other words, since Cui Yi dared to say that the Nine Dragons Coffin Dragging Technique came from the Mythological Era, he must be 100% sure!
Liu He stared into Liu Zheng's eyes and said in a deep voice,""Are you sure what you said today is true?”
"Everything this junior said is true, and heaven and earth are witnesses!”
Liu Zheng said firmly.
"Good!"
Liu He shouted and turned around abruptly." Men, help me change my clothes. I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor!"”
