Urgent Da Yi

Although Da Yi is a hot-tempered Believer in "war", he has one good quality: he never interrupts his teammates' rhythm.

Seeing that Cheng Shi had fallen into deep thought after the interrogation, he merely frowned but did not urge him further.

A moment later, Cheng Shi looked up from his thoughts and asked the historian again:

"Are there any Token in the Rosna Empire that represent imperial or divine power?"

The old man was taken aback, then quickly nodded. "Yes... The Scepter of Atonement in His Majesty's hand is the highest symbol of imperial power, but that scepter has already been taken away."

"What does that scepter look like?"

"It is as tall as a person, three fingers wide, carved from a single piece of wood, and a dark green gemstone is inlaid at the top of the scepter."

Cheng Shi frowned, eliminating another option.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get the results he wanted, he had to resort to a more direct approach.

"What about the Daggers? Are there any famous Daggers in the empire? Perhaps it's not actually Daggers, but just similar in function Daggers. Anything similar will do. Are there any?"

Hearing this, Old Galen finally realized that these powerful humans weren't looking for someone, but rather for a Daggers.

He pondered for a while, then suddenly widened his eyes and said:

"It seems... there was."

"!!!"

Everyone perked up instantly, with Da Yi even lifting Gallon up excitedly, saying, "Damn it, they're finally here! What's their name? Where are they?"

Old Galen was terrified; he trembled uncontrollably, his lips quivering as he replied:

"The First Prince once traded with a foreign merchant caravan and acquired a Daggers that could cut through iron like mud. He showed it to people on several occasions, but after a while, he sealed the Daggers away and strictly forbade anyone to mention it again."

This happened a long time ago, or rather, very few people remember it. If my child hadn't been familiar with the First Prince's child and accidentally stumbled into his secret chamber while playing, perhaps no one would remember it...

Cheng Shi scoffed, "What a coincidence? Your child bumped into this?"

"Everything I said is true."

Cheng Shi could tell he wasn't lying, but the question was, wasn't this too much of a coincidence?

"Is the empire's First Prince the same age as you?"

Then your emperor must be over a hundred years old.

"What, there really is a crown prince who's been around for decades?"

Old Galen's face froze, and he replied with a sorrowful expression, "I was born in Rosna New Calendar Year 64, and I am only... 36 years old now."

"..."

"..."

36...

Dude, 36 is nothing, but with your condition, I'd believe you even if you said 93, let alone 63.

No wonder they're Believer in "Decay"; they look so devout.

No wonder your emperor ran away. If Rosna's able-bodied men were all like you, this war to resist foreign aggression, even if it broke out, would just be a bunch of mentally ill people storming a nursing home...

Cheng Shi's expression suddenly turned strange. He even looked at Old Galen with a hint of pity. Although the thought was hellish, he couldn't help but think: No wonder the emperor didn't take you with him when he fled. Isn't being over 35 the age when you're supposed to be "optimized"?

Surprisingly, this set of rules also applies to the Isle of Hope in the Era of Depravity.

Hearing this, Da Yi could no longer hold back. He asked urgently, "Damn it, where is the First Prince's residence? Did he take that Daggers with him when he left? If you know, lead the way now, or I'll slap you!"

"The First Prince..."

"?"

What does this pause mean? Is there a turning point?

Here we go again!

Cheng Shi was somewhat numb. His gaze toward Old Galen suddenly became scrutinizing, and he squinted as if wondering if this historian was some kind of shady colleague.

Are you putting on a show for me?

Oh no, my paranoia is kicking in. The more I look at him, the more it seems like a conspirator. So, is he a fellow conspirator in Deception or in the spirit of Destiny?

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. However, he did not rush to take action. Instead, he glanced thoughtfully at the Poison.

Although he had established a reputation for cunning with Hu Wei, he did not want to overly display his caution and shrewdness, so he thought of using a tool.

The key player in this match is undoubtedly Miss Poison, the intelligence core.

The moment Poison saw Cheng Shi looking at her, she sensed his suspicion. As the catalyst for her "all-inclusive" desire, she understood immediately and acted thoughtfully, snatching Gallon from Da Yi's hands. Then, in the midst of the Storm, she ripped open his clothes, revealing the scars covering his abdomen and back.

But the historian's scars were different from those of the couple before him. His scars were intertwined, overlapping, and terrifying, covering his entire body, suggesting that he had suffered far more than the couple.

Everyone frowned slightly upon seeing this, except for Cheng Shi, who seemed to think there was something to it about the injuries. However, before he could think about it further, Da Yi dragged him back, cursing as he did so.

"Damn it, you're not trying to steal someone from me with Poison, are you?"

I advise you to be honest; don't forget, the ram could be anywhere.

He grabbed Galen and asked again, "Quickly, where is the First Prince, and where is his Daggers?"

Galen was freezing, and he said, shivering:

"The First Prince... has been banished from the palace by His Majesty."

As for his collection and contraband, they were probably already looted and taken away by the guards long ago...

"?" Da Yi was taken aback. "You mean, the person is still here, but the Daggers is gone?"

Old Galen nodded fearfully.

"Bang—"

Da Yi released his grip with a grim expression, spat out, and said, "Damn it, I can't convince myself otherwise if I don't go find it myself. Old man, where is the First Prince's palace?"

Galen pointed in a direction with trembling hands. Da Yi glanced at everyone and said only, "Wait for me," before disappearing again. Seeing Da Yi's anxious appearance, Cheng Shi became even more puzzled.

Do these brutes of war really covet Dizer's soul?

This is too blatant.

Even if the other party is the soul of an Emissary, it would still be a tricky matter for players to figure out how to benefit from an Emissary's soul. It seems like this person has already found a way.

Etc!

Cheng Shi suddenly remembered what the Grand Marshal had said. He said he learned some things from an extremely reliable source. At the time, Cheng Shi wondered if that source might have come from them... Now, thinking about it carefully, it seemed not impossible.

Could their source of information be their Lord of Grace, "the war"?

Does [War] also want to stir things up after [Prosperity] has fallen?

It's not impossible, but this doesn't seem like the Him I remember.

It can't be... [chaos], can it?

Hu Wei's second Faith is "chaos," which makes sense, but what about Da Yi? Is his second Faith also about "chaos"?

Behind the two Believer in war stands chaos?

?

Upon realizing this, Cheng Shi's expression instantly turned strange. Oh no, could it be that he ran into people from his brother company while out working?

If I were to pull out a board member badge from a sister company at this moment, Da Yi... wouldn't he not believe me?
