Chapter 275 - : The Queen’s Room



Chapter 275: The Queen’s Room

Wei Huo walked out of the tavern. This time, he used the Concealment Skill and walked into the palace. No one noticed him. His presence was not strong to begin with, and thanks to the Concealment Skill, Legendary creatures would not be able to discover him.

Wei Huo walked into the royal palace and kept looking around. In the end, he walked into the Queen’s palace. Wei Huo saw a huge throne made of gold, but it was empty. There was no one in the palace.

The Prime Minister’s residence, which was next to the palace, was bustling with people. Many staff members were going in and out. Some of them were there to deliver official documents, while others were there to collect them.

Upon entering the residence, Wei Huo saw all sorts of staff members handling different things.

In the end, Wei Huo found the busy Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was over 60 years old, and his hair and beard were white. However, he was very tall and his back was straight. He had a quill in his right hand, and he kept signing his name on goatskin.

He read the documents very quickly. At times, he would write down his name, but sometimes, he would write the word ‘recall’. Every time he finished reading a document, he would pick up a small magic staff with his left hand and wave it. Then, the document would fly out by itself.

Most of the documents in the Prime Minister’s residence flew around like this. This method saved a lot of time for work.

Wei Huo intercepted a document. It was written in English, but once one focused their attention on the paper, images and sounds would automatically appear on the paper and explain it from beginning to end. That way, things that could not be completely described by words would also be recorded. That would reduce the office’s error rate greatly.

Wei Huo could not help but sigh when he saw this method. Technology always served politicians first, followed by the military, and lastly, the livelihood of the people.

Wei Huo walked around the Prime Minister’s residence but did not find any valuable information. He then walked toward the Queen’s living area. There had to be some information hidden there. As long as he found the Queen’s personal belongings, he would naturally discover the Queen’s secret.

Wei Huo arrived at the Queen’s palace, which was an even larger mansion. There was a huge garden, a vast meadow, a majestic Western-style building, and countless servants and guards.

Wei Huo walked on the stone path and observed the surrounding scenery carefully, hoping to obtain some information about the Queen. Unfortunately, he did not find anything valuable.

In the end, he jumped onto the second floor. There was a small circular balcony there. The balcony and the room were separated by a glass door. With a thought, the glass door opened by itself and what was inside was revealed in front of Wei Huo’s eyes.

The first thing he saw was a bed decorated in gold and pink. Although the bed was huge and luxurious, it did not seem like a Queen’s bed. It felt more like a princess’s bed.

What was even more bizarre was that there was a dressing table in the room. The floor was covered in pink wool.

When Wei Huo saw the room, his first thought was that he had walked into the wrong place.

He left the room and prepared to ask the maid in charge of cleaning the place for directions.

The maids and butler in the building seemed different from the maids and gardeners outside. They were in charge of everything in the building and did not have to care about what was happening outside.

Wei Huo was concerned about that. However, when he saw a maid in the building, he understood everything.

He walked up to the maid and saw her expressionless face and emotionless eyes. He suddenly understood.

The maids in the building were artificial intelligence beings. They did not have their own consciousness and were absolutely loyal to their master. They would not leak information about their master either.

This kind of artificial intelligence could either be exchanged at the mall or replicated using a bug-like scanner to scan the artificial intelligence and manufacture it.

However, how could the Queen of this country do that? Unless she was a player or an artificial being!

However, artificial beings either died during the testing or returned to the Gate of God after the test. Although they headed to various continents to guide new players and help humans, they eventually returned to the Central Continent.

They used to be the extremely mysterious Marginalized Alliance in the past. They had lived up to the expectations and used the term ‘marginalized’ to the extreme. Now, many people did not know that such an alliance had once existed in the Central Continent. Besides, 100 years ago, the Marginalized Alliance had produced an Epic-ranked existence.

Wei Huo did not know what was going on with the Marginalized Alliance, but he was sure that all the artificial intelligence data was stored in the system’s database. However, it seemed like a particular piece of AI data had been erased from the collective artificial intelligence data.

Wei Huo thought of someone.

He had spent thousands of years in the Illusion Realm, where he had changed everything. All the people and animals he had encountered had not died. That was a perfect Illusion Realm. If he had not left the Solar System and caused the Illusion Realm to collapse, he might have been trapped forever.

In the Illusion Realm, someone had accompanied him from the beginning to the very end. That person had been Lu Qiqi.

She was an artificial being that Wei Huo had encountered during his first test. Her serial number was 677. She had experienced human emotion, which was rare, and it was highly possible that she had a soul. However, in the end, she had disappeared a few days before the end of her lifespan.

At the time, Wei Huo had thought that she was dead. However, he had changed his mind later on. He could not find any data about her in the system database. After all, one could even find the data of dead artificial intelligence beings.

Wei Huo continued walking through the building. It was a huge building with five floors. At the same time, countless maids and stewards were dealing with their own work.

However, their master did not seem to be there.

Wei Huo walked around and unknowingly arrived at the hall on the first floor. The halls on the first floor and the second floor were connected by a Y-shaped staircase. There was a painting at the intersection of the two staircases. It seemed like a characteristic Western-style building. A painting was usually placed in that spot.

Wei Huo walked over, unable to move his eyes away when he saw the painting. He was very familiar with the painting.

On the painting was a black-and-white animal, and there was a round stone in front of the animal. The animal’s two front paws stepped on the stone, and it lifted its head high with an extremely fierce expression. Its mouth was wide open, letting out a lion’s roar. However, one could not feel the ferociousness of the animal. Instead, they found it particularly adorable.

For some reason, Wei Huo felt sad when he saw the painting.
