Truth and falsehood

Soon.

Dian smiled slightly. "Zubat, use Supersonic to check if there's a path behind this door."

"Sizzle?"

After circling once, the Zubat landed on Dian's shoulder and then released Supersonic forward.

The invisible fluctuation quickly surveyed the path ahead, then turned and cried out twice towards the hall, "Hiss! Hiss!"

Really.

The prince nodded.

This actually presents three choices for those who can read Napolant: first, to believe both sides' stories and make a choice; second, to disbelieve both sides' stories and find another way out.

Thirdly, an attitude of indifference or even disregard for the stories on both sides naturally leads to not choosing the path they offer, but instead proceeding directly down the straight road.

Since the Napolant Kingdom no longer exists, what is the point of talking about Wangquan? A king who doesn't even have Kingdom is no longer qualified to talk about conquest and protection.

He reached for Beedrill's Poké Ball and Beedrill it. "Beedrill, together with Misdreavus, break down this door."

After exchanging a glance, Beedrill and Misdreavus launched a frenzied attack on the Seamless Gate in front of them, which might belong to a precious artifact.

Bang!

Boom!

As cracks appeared, the once exquisite gate was reduced to ruins.

But what appeared before the hall at that moment was a magnificent golden palace.

Four enormous, luxurious Chandelure hung inside the square hall.

Directly below stood four enormous stone statues, with bizarre bodies, ferocious single eyes, and black holes in their chests—the legendary guides of the Spirit World, the Dusknoir.

The surrounding area is filled with lifelike murals, and next to them are distorted characters.

Besides these, the only other thing in the hall was a huge stone tablet in the very center.

The Beedrill closed its eyes, Perception for a moment, and then shook its head at the palace.

"Dream."

The Misdreavus relaxed and ran to the top of the palace to rest.

Dian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one knew what amazing technology the Ancient possessed. If the four Dusknoir inside weren't stone statues but were in a dormant state, he would never have gone in.

Although he didn't know what was in the Spirit World, he had no intention of trying it out.

Moreover, those four headlights are quite intimidating.

Since both Misdreavus and Beedrill determined that there were no living creatures inside, he, as the Trainer, also trusted his Pokémon.

The palace maid glanced at her feet, "Misdreavus."

"Dream..."

Misdreavus sighed. Why was her Trainer so afraid of death? Wouldn't it be better to become Ghost type after death? Really.

Helpless, she used Shadow Barrier to suspend the palace in mid-air, then led him around to look at the surroundings until they returned to the stone tablet in the center of the hall.

The murals around the hall weren't particularly interesting; they mostly depicted the great history of Napolant. If a historian had visited, they would have treasured them, but the hall truly held little interest.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't curious about Napolant's treasures, but he knew his own limitations. Such a vast Kingdom, if it truly possessed treasures, wouldn't be something he could easily obtain; he might even be buried with them.

It's best to find a way out honestly and go live his peaceful life. When you have the strength in the future, come back and subdue that Nosepass, and make it work for him in the mine!

"Lester Napolant —the true king of Napolant, the protector of all his subjects."

After glancing at it, Dian was certain that even if the builder of this Ruins was not a descendant of the Napolant Royal Family, he was probably a supporter of this last king. Otherwise, this would not be the phrase used here, but some other vicious title.

He then looked down.

"The Sword of Royal Authority..."

The hall looked at the shield and sword in the center of the stone tablet, which was the symbol of Napolant's Wangquan that he had just seen, and next to it were two mysterious triangular symbols, one blue and one red.

The red one is on the right, and the blue one is on the left, guarding the Sword of Royal Authority in the very center, with a mysterious sphere at the bottom.

The tip of the Sword of Royal Authority was positioned precisely at the center of the sphere.

"The Sword of Dusk destroyed the Napolant Stone, ending the endless cycle of reincarnation. True King Lester did what a true king should do, something that countless generations of the Royal Family had ignored."

At that moment, all of Napolant's sins were punished and forgiven by the Deep Blue, and everything returned to nothingness. True King Lester sacrificed himself, bearing all the sins, and was buried here with Napolant.

The end of all is also the beginning of all; ultimately, the last subject of Napolant will be liberated and reborn.

After reading the final account, the prince fell into deep thought.

The Sword of Dusk is very likely the Sword of Royal Authority, while the Napolant Stone seems to be an extremely precious treasure, namely that mysterious sphere.

Strangely, the inscription on the stone tablet is completely different from what is said outside the museum.

To outsiders, Lester appears as a foolish and incompetent last king, but the inscription on the stele confirms Lester as the True King.

The title "True King" negates all previous Napolant kings and is an extremely high praise.

The Deep Blue likely refers to the time when the Napolant Kingdom was submerged by the sea, but what does "the last subject" mean?

Furthermore, what exactly does "sin" mean in this context?

Although the two accounts he has received are completely different, the common point is that Lester himself destroyed the Napolant Kingdom, and combined with what the hall knows, it seems that all the subjects of Napolant should have fled.

This is where things get interesting. If Lester really wanted to destroy his own country for some purpose, and was a foolish and incompetent king, how could all the people of the Kingdom have escaped unscathed and managed to flee to Ground-type?

Therefore, the temple is more willing to believe the account recorded on this stone tablet.

It is truly a mysterious Ruins. Was Ruins built by two different groups of people, or is it a smokescreen set up by the same force?

However, at least for now, he is safe.

Because in either case, there is no need to place a stone tablet explaining Napolant's history and commemorating the True King at the place where the invaders were to be expelled.

It seems the Dusknoir statue built nearby was also intended to guide the soul of this True King Pokémon the realm of the dead, where he can find eternal peace.

However, although the prince didn't want to admit it, these things didn't seem to be of much help to him when he went out.

"Zubat, scout the surroundings."

The palace immediately began to rely on the Supersonic of the Zubat.

Now he can only go wherever there is a road. As for the other two roads, he had previously planned to explore them, but now it seems better to give up.

"Magnetic, magnetic!"

The Zubat immediately flew off his shoulder and began to investigate diligently.
