The Prince's Palace.

As the only remaining supreme royal clan in the Kingdom of Baine, the residence of Prince Lawrence is naturally splendid.

Although its area is not the largest among the royal family's mansions, the level of sophistication inside is definitely not comparable to other clan mansions.

Among them, carved beams and painted buildings, rare and foreign objects are too numerous to list, and they can even compete with the real Bain Imperial Court.

Under the high-pressure actions of the Baine Kingdom to cut down the vassal and the nobles several times over the past century, the Lawrence family has been able to stand firm and still stand out in the king's city, which is enough to see its profound heritage.

Although the day was approaching, the Prince's Mansion was not completely silent. There were guards who dutifully stayed at their posts. From time to time, some small queues could be seen patrolling, and occasionally a few sporadic servants came and went in a hurry.

The shadows of the patrol team looked majestic and majestic under the illumination of the courtyard lights.

Although it's just mechanized cruising, there is no doubt about the combat effectiveness they can show in the event of an emergency.

However, in the eyes of some people, this kind of high-profile team is not without loopholes.

Just like now, not a single patrolman has found any abnormal existence in the shadows under their feet when they pass by the lights.

Hei Nieyuan hid silently at their feet, almost effortlessly, and followed the team into the core area of ​​the Prince's Mansion.

His trip was to get in touch with a spy who had broken into the Prince's Palace, and it was a test for him by Gladys.

Because the manpower sent a few times before was unable to return, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and not even a blister emerged.

It can be seen that the internal review of the Prince's Mansion has reached a perverted level.

Even if the internal spies want to spread the news, they can't do it. Not only will the news not get out, but if there is any change, they will be unable to protect themselves.

Gladys still doesn't know how Prince Lawrence achieved this level, but she can be sure that if Hei Nieyuan can bring something back from here, he will surely gain an irreplaceable position with Gladys.

However, Hei Nieyuan, who originally had the idea of ​​going deep into the tiger's den, has been smooth sailing since entering the Prince's Mansion. He traveled all the way to its hinterland without encountering any unexpected dangers.

On the contrary, his previous cautiousness seemed to be superfluous, and the wind became more and more serious.

This is very abnormal.

Because if the Prince's Mansion is really so ruined, then the people sent by Gladys before will not be as if the world has evaporated.

But the fact is in front of him, he really did it easily, and he got here without encountering any danger, which made Hei Nieyuan feel very disobedient.

Threats from the unknown are the most disturbing.

The patrol team moved forward all the way, and was about to reach the residence of Prince Lawrence.

According to Hei Nieyuan's plan, at this time, he should leave the team and go there to see if he can bring other things back besides contacting the internal spies.

In fact, he did the same. When the patrol team passed a fountain, a shadow was hidden in the shadow of the fountain, perfectly seamless.

But then, Hei Nieyuan fell into a long-term stagnation. He hid in the shadows, separated by a garden, and watched the prince's residence, but stayed where he was, motionless.

Because, for no reason, when Hei Nieyuan saw the residence of Prince Lawrence just now, an alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart, and he was extremely throbbing.

It seems that if you follow the patrol team and get close to that place, you will encounter unimaginable disasters.

This is also the main reason why he chose to leave the team. That kind of sixth sense is too strong, so strong that Hei Nieyuan almost fell into a kind of rigid stillness, like an ordinary person facing a hungry beast , did not dare to act rashly.

Now Hei Nieyuan has some understanding of those spies who have come and gone.

It turned out that the danger did not come from the guards of the Prince's Mansion, but...

The Prince himself?

As for the sixth sense he possesses, although Hei Nieyuan doesn't know the reason, he still firmly believes in it.

This is where he is better than his main body Nie Yuan. Even though everything he possesses comes from his main body, it is precisely because he is not a complete replica of his main body that makes him appear purer in some respects.

Just like when ordinary people have a sixth sense, they often think it is an illusion.

Because the cognition accumulated over the years will dilute the intangible feeling, thinking that an occasional illogical idea is so absurd, smile and forget it.

Even if they can't perceive the abnormality at all, people are more willing to believe in their own logic and cognition, rather than a thought that arises out of nowhere, and they will instinctively regard it as a "miscellaneous thought" and kill it in the cradle.

However, the existence of Hei Nie Yuan is a simple projection of the mysterious attributes of his body, Nie Yuan. He was born with it and will not be disturbed by those acquired cognitions.

Therefore, his intuition must be more accurate and strong than anyone else's.

Outside, Hei Nieyuan stopped, in shock.

The interior of Prince Lawrence's residence is not quiet, and a faint light can be seen overflowing from the elegant window lattice.

I don't know whether Prince Lawrence got up early or stayed up all night.

At this moment, the prince himself is sitting behind his desk, and a light hanging on the side wall casts his shadow on the ground. It is not bright, but it just allows people to see the scene around the desk clearly.

Looking from the front, the half of the prince's body above the chest is out of the range of the light, in the shadows, giving people a mysterious sense of majesty.

​​

In front of him, a man in uniform bowed slightly, reporting something to him.

"Morris lost to Nie Yuan and died unexpectedly, and the fact that he was dragged into the ground will inevitably make the church begin to suspect and investigate the source of his power, which may cause you some trouble, but fortunately, he is in The last words before we fell into purgatory should clear the suspicion that we didn't know about it..."

Speaking of which, the man in uniform paused for a while, and seemed to be looking at the expression of Prince Lawrence in the shadows from the corner of his eye.

da da da~

Prince Lawrence put his left hand on the table top and tapped the table, making a crisp knocking sound.

It can be seen that this prince should not be a rigid and peaceful master, but rather a maverick. At least from his appearance, it will give people this sense.

Because his left hand, which tapped the table, actually had a black floral tattoo drawn from his forearm, spreading all the way forward to his fingertips.

This made the entire arm appear garish, as if there were magic lines all over it, which seemed strange and inconsistent with the solemn and solemn identity of the royal family.

"What did he say?"

Prince Lawrence finally spoke up and asked his subordinates a question.

His voice seemed to be much younger than his real age of nearly half a hundred years old, clear and full of magnetism.

"He said he wouldn't let Nie Yuan go...and you."

The uniformed man's waist was bent lower, and he told the truth.

"I don't know where the confidence came from. He even delusionally thinks that he can still climb back from hell."

Prince Lawrence continued: "Sure enough, it's a waste, it can't do anything well, and it causes trouble for me when I die. Maybe he thinks I've treated him badly, so even I hate it, but... the waste is only worth this price. "

The man in uniform said humbly, "You're right, it's not a pity for Morris to die, but how are we going to deal with the pressure from the church next?"

Lawrence leaned forward slightly, exposing his face to the light.

It can be seen that this is a tough face, with clear edges and corners, and the temples are a little white, but the wrinkles on his face are few. Compared with his real age, he looks very young. He is in his early thirties, I am afraid. Some will believe it.

The overall appearance is not very handsome, but there is a kind of graceful nobility, profound and fascinating.

Prince Lawrence stared at his subordinate and said, "This matter is not yours to take care of, so don't ask more questions. Have you forgotten to perform their duties? Let's not take this as an example."

The uniformed man trembled in his heart, lowered his brows and said, "Yes, your subordinates should keep this in mind."

"Go down."

Prince Lawrence leaned back slightly, and let his upper body return to the shadows again, saying: "Go and get me the information from Buck's Bookstore, this time it will be more detailed, and Lillian, What's going on with Stanley..."

"Yes…"

The uniformed man responded and was about to bow down and leave.

But he didn't want Prince Lawrence, so he suddenly stopped him again, and said, "And my two sons who didn't succeed, I heard that he is going to get married recently?"

The uniformed man was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Yes, Master Jack, he is already engaged, and... he invited Nie Yuan to be his witness..."

Lawrence waved his hand slightly and said, "You don't need to call him young master, the outside world is just guessing that he may be my illegitimate son, and he'd better not have anything to do with me, let alone get involved in this fight... Find a name at that time. , send him a congratulatory gift."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

The man in uniform retreated, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was extremely conjectured, but did not dare to show it, and closed the door lightly.

Prince Lawrence was the only one left in the house.

da da da~

He continued to tap the table with his index finger slowly, and set his eyes on the file on the table about the interior of the imperial court and his brother of the king.

Afterwards, he slightly raised his left hand full of flowers, flicked it on the file, and erased the text on the file out of thin air.

During the period, there seemed to be small yellow particles that were hard to see with the naked eye, falling on the file, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

If there is a botanist or a senior painter here, he will be able to tell it at a glance.

Although the tattoo on Prince Lawrence's arm is relatively simple, with only black outlines and not fully colored, the features are still very obvious.

It is a kind of precious plant, called: polyhedron.

Just because of the characteristics of this flower, it is so unusual.

That is such a flower, which can often grow into several flowers with different appearances, all tied to a bunch of rhizomes.

The reason why the "polyhedron" plant is valuable is that although it can secrete a huge amount of pollen during the pollen season to increase its own reproduction probability, the environmental requirements of the growing place are too high.

Delicate and outrageous, a little environmental defect will quickly wither, wither, or even unable to germinate and grow at all, so the number of them in existence is very small and very rare.

Especially in some painters, it is found that its stamens and pollen can be used as high-grade pigments for painting...
