Qing Yang shifted his gaze behind Ola and saw a man in his prime walking over.
"Thank you for coming from afar. I am the Prime Minister of the Atlantis Empire, Kasabsky Rajir Aaron. Seeing that you have arrived at the palace safely and smoothly, I am relieved.”
The man who bowed his head raised his head and said with a fake smile,
"You must be Lord Qing Yang?"
"Ah, yes, I am Liu Qingyang.”
"Do you claim to be the descendant of the second emperor?”
"Yes, that's right."
"Pardon my rudeness, but first, please prove your identity. Please follow me."
Prime Minister Lagi turned around and walked away. Qing Yang and Ola followed behind him.
On the right wall of the passage, the windows were neatly arranged all the way to the end, as if they were proclaiming wealth and power.
The ceiling was painted with the heroic figures of the Elf King and the twelve gods of Atlantis. There were also speculations that the black-clothed warriors of the Azure Sun were confronting the enemy.
"So far, there are countless people who claim to be the descendants of the second emperor, but none of them are real. Even so, imposters were still emerging one after another.”
Prime Minister Lagi's voice traveled through his body and into Qing Yang's ears.
"So, even if it was Her Highness Ariel, Frenlisa, who said it herself, before I can prove that you are indeed the descendant of the second emperor, I really can't believe you. Forgive me for being blunt, but I feel like I'm doing it again.”
It was normal to feel annoyed when imposters appeared again and again.
"The Atlantis Empire is a military country. There are many believers of the God of War. Of course, I am one of them. Every time someone claimed to be a descendant, only to find out that it was a scam, that kind of feeling could not be described with the word 'disappointed'. Instead, he was furious.”
Prime Minister Lagi stopped in front of a room and turned to look at Qing Yang.
"I hope Lord Qing Yang is a genuine descendant. At the same time, it's also for Her Highness Ariel Frenlisa. I sincerely hope so.”
Prime Minister Lagi unlocked the door and walked in. Qing Yang and Ola followed.
The four walls of the room were painted in a single white color, and there were no windows. There was a vertical clothes rack in the middle with a black coat hanging on it. Other than that, there was nothing else in the room.
Prime Minister Lagi walked to the clothes rack and waved at Qing Yang.
"So far, there are no less than 2,000 people who call themselves descendants of the War God. However, everyone would die the moment they put on this coat.”
Prime Minister Lagi carefully picked up the black coat and spread it open.
" This is the Dark Curtain of the Night that the War God once passed through. Like the five elven weapons, it would choose its own master. If it was not someone it approved of and wanted to wear it, it would suffer the curse of the elves and die a tragic death. However, even if they could not obtain the approval of the elves, if they had the descendants blessed by the Elf King, they would not die. And we will use this as proof.”
Are you ready? Qing Yang nodded after Prime Minister Lagi finished asking.
"How nostalgic…"
The comrades who had fought with him on countless battlefields in the past. Because of this, Qing Yang did not feel nervous at all. Instead, his expression softened due to nostalgia. Just as Qing Yang reached out to take it, the Dark Curtain of the Night slipped from Prime Minister Lagi's hand to the ground. There was clearly no wind, but the black clothes fell off for no reason. Prime Minister Lagi could not help but frown.
He did not let go on purpose. Qing Yang knew this very well.
"He should be throwing a tantrum."
The one residing in the black clothes was a special elf. Compared to the other five elves, his emotional reactions were more straightforward and difficult to control.
Moreover, he had been completely abandoned for a thousand years. It was no wonder that he was angry.
"I'm sorry. Sorry to keep you waiting."
After Qing Yang apologized to the " Dark Curtain of the Night " that had fallen to the ground, he extended his hand again…However, the black robe still slipped past his hand and floated into the air.
This scene stunned Prime Minister Lagi, while Ola stared at it with great interest.
He really won't forgive me? Just as Qing Yang was feeling helpless, a black shadow gradually expanded and wrapped around Qing Yang's limbs. In the blink of an eye, the black shadow covered Qing Yang, as if it was dragging him into darkness.
Prime Minister Lagi and Ola were dumbfounded by the sudden development.
The dark amalgamation that appeared out of nowhere without warning repeatedly shrank and expanded as if it was chewing.
"As expected…it's just an imposter?”
Prime Minister Lagi muttered in disappointment. How many times had he seen this scene?
However, right in front of his eyes, the scene he was used to had a further change. The black shadow slowly spread out like a blooming flower.
"This is…Could it be?!"
After that, the calm Qing Yang appeared in front of the shocked Prime Minister Lagi. However, his original uniform had been changed. Qing Yang had changed into a black military uniform in the style of the old empire and a pitch-black coat over it. The golden dragon carving on his shoulder was even more eye-catching.
The black clothes that carried the blessings of the elves were also the relics left behind by the God of War.
The mysterious and noble " Dark Curtain of the Night " was called a miracle in some countries.
"Haha, this…this is really…"
Prime Minister Lagi, who had been staring at Qing Yang in a daze, knelt on the spot and bowed.
"Please forgive my rudeness just now. To be able to see the descendants of the second generation emperor was truly a joyous occasion.”
"Don't say that. I'm just a descendant. You're being so polite. After all, I'm not the second emperor.”
In fact, he was the original, but judging from Prime Minister Lagi's attitude, if he knew the truth, he would probably faint immediately.
Moreover, the elders were so respectful to him that Qing Yang was also very troubled.
Qing Yang cast a pleading look at Ola, only to see her staring at him in a daze.
Qing Yang, who had judged that Ola was unreliable, could only take the initiative to ask Prime Minister Lagi, who had his head lowered.
"Excuse me, can this be used as proof?”
"Ah, not yet. Next, I have to invite you to the Elven Temple.”
Prime Minister Lagi calmed himself down and adjusted his breathing before answering,"
"In the future, if there is someone who claims to be a descendant of the Qing Yang, bring him to the Elven Temple to confirm his identity. Once it was confirmed that there was no mistake, he would be given a corresponding status. Anyone who dares to disobey this will will be cursed by the Elven King.”
Qing Yang nodded, and Prime Minister Lagi stood up and walked towards the door.
"I should have invited you to the Elven Temple first, but I can't rashly bring someone whose identity has not been confirmed to see the Lord Elven Priest. If anything happened to the elven priestess, criticism from both inside and outside the country would definitely surge. Therefore, in consideration of the safety of the elven priestess, he first used the Dark Veil of the Night to confirm the identity of the self-proclaimed descendant.”
Prime Minister Lagi said," This way please." He gestured for Qing Yang to leave the corridor.
"So, we just have to go to the Elven Temple and get the Elven Priest to confirm it."
At this moment, Prime Minister Lagi noticed a guard running towards them, so he stopped halfway.
"Lord Aaron! His Highness the Elven Knight had just arrived. He had sent a letter to His Majesty on behalf of the Elven Priest!”
"The elven priestess has sent a letter to His Majesty…I understand, I'll head over immediately. Go inform the guards to let them in and let the elven knights enter the palace.”
"Yes, sir!"
After saluting, the guard went back the way he came. Prime Minister Lagi turned around.
"I'm sorry, there's an emergency. Could you please wait a moment?"
"I don't care…just wait for you here?”
"No, please wait in the noble room. I'll get someone to lead the way for you."
Just as Prime Minister Lagi was about to call for the maids nearby, Ola raised her hand.
"Let me lead the way."
"Then, I'll have to trouble Commander Ola. I'll be right back!"
After watching Prime Minister Lagi leave, Qing Yang followed Ola.
"It was sent by an elven priest…and it was signed directly by His Majesty the Emperor.”
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I am. Every time the Elven Priests received an oracle from the Elven King, they would inform the Prime Minister. The fact that he would inform His Majesty directly meant that he had received a rather important oracle.”
"That's why Prime Minister Lagi was so panicked.”
"If it's an oracle that concerns the survival of the country, then this is no small matter. The letter would also be delivered to His Majesty immediately.”
After saying that, Ola suddenly stopped in her tracks. In front of her was a door.
Ola pushed open the door and walked in skillfully.
Ola sat down on the sofa while Qing Yang walked to the seat opposite her and said,
"How long will Prime Minister Lagi be gone?"
"I shouldn't make you wait too long. However, it still depended on the content of the elven priestess 'letter.”
"I hope it won't cause any trouble."
Qing Yang shrugged and looked around. Suddenly, he noticed something.
"Oh right, no one from the noble room came.”
"Those who come here are mainly nobles who don't have a residence in the hinterland of the palace. However, small and medium-sized nobles would usually decline due to concerns and stay in private mansions or hotels located in the city. Therefore, this room was almost never used.”
"Ola also has a house in the hinterland of the palace?”
"Basically. However, when he came to the capital recently, he stayed in the guard room and the house was empty.”
The two of them chatted for about half a minute
The person who appeared in the noble room was not Prime Minister Lagi, but a high official.
"Lord Qing Yang, I'm sorry, but could you please move to the main hall?”
"The main hall should be interrogating the Third Prince Brubru and the First Prince Bale right now.”
The high-ranking official nodded in response to Ola's question.
"Yes, it ended smoothly. It will be up to His Majesty to decide what to do next. However, before that, His Majesty has asked me to come and respectfully invite Lord Qing Yang.”
"Can I go with you?"
"Prime Minister Lagi has instructed that it doesn't matter if Lord Ola comes or not. However, Lord Ola has to enter from the back door, while Lord Qing Yang enters from the front door.”
"I understand. Ola, go with us.”
"Yes."
Qing Yang stood up from the sofa, and Ola followed suit.
"Please follow me."
Qing Yang and Ola left the room behind the high-ranking official.
