Chapter 410 7.64 Illusory Sky Garden
Falling into the well. Unexpectedly, the clean water in the deep well was not cold, and the rapid flow around him gave him a warm touch.
After fighting in the blood mist illusion for a long time, Loki knew that this was a sign of the rapid flow of pure spiritual energy.
Opening his eyes hard, he tried to find the alchemist who supported the magic circle, but he didn't expect that he would slowly fall in the dark well. After less than 2 minutes,
the darkness receded, and a blue light began to appear in front of him. As he approached the deep blue sky little by little, the earth turned!
The next second, he actually rushed out of the water from the calm lake!
This deep well, which seemed deep at first glance, actually hid a portal that could turn the world upside down.
When Loki took off the leaves on his cheek and swam from the center of the lake to the edge, he struggled to get ashore and found that this was a huge courtyard 10 times larger than when he came.
A towering castle stood silently on the lakeshore.
Standing by the lake and looking down the mountain, he could see the lake flowing naturally, forming a magnificent waterfall. Halfway through the waterfall, it turned into mist and dissipated, leaving the illusory gardens on the slope like terraces covered in a gray mist.
All the gardens were empty.
Sitting by the lake, Loki looked at the sun in the sky and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This "palace" gave him a very strange feeling. He was chased by Lan Bixue's sword all the way. When he climbed over the wall, he clearly remembered that the location of the "Paris Grand Palais" was not far from the center of Paris.
However, after emerging from the center of a quiet lake, he found himself on a high mountain, and the "City of Paris" was at the foot of this high mountain.
This completely violated everything he saw after entering the city.
Was this "mountain" hidden by the Plantagenet family with magic? Or was he teleported to another world at this time, and the untouchable scenery at the foot of the mountain was all illusions?
Looking at the waterfall again. He couldn't help but think of seven words: Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
(If there is a hanging garden in the world, it should be the scene in front of him.)
No
Squinting his eyes, he could see the church square at the foot of the mountain, which was under martial law. The Golden Scale Guards and a large group of holy bishops were carrying out corpses covered with white cloth from the Inquisition.
This was obviously what he did just now.
"Then the answer seems very clear. No one can make a 'real-time illusion' like real-time monitoring!"
"If everything that appears in front of me is real, then there is indeed a high mountain on the edge of Paris! It's just that this mountain was hidden by the Plantagenet family with illusion magic."
Why did they do this?
Is there any other secret hidden on this mountain?
This is not the first time Loki has come into contact with the royal family. Although the Ecbert family in Southampton and the Elan family in Oxford are superior to mortals, they all have some worldly atmosphere.
At this time, they are in the empty courtyard of the Grand Palais in Paris, the mountains covered in illusions, and the castle behind them that is almost as high as the clouds.
If all this had not happened in the real plane, Loki would even think that he had accidentally re-entered Asgard and came to the cold city where the Aesir sealed the frost giants.
Everything here has no warmth belonging to living people.
However, this is just the beginning.
After regaining his spirit and walking into the castle, more bizarre scenes began to appear.
There are indeed living people in the castle. However, all the living people are moving mechanically along a fixed trajectory like dolls.
Seeing Loki coming in, they did not talk to him, but just stopped mechanically, looked at him slightly with their smart big eyes, and continued to move forward stiffly along their own route.
But more of them just sat in the room, staring blankly ahead.
Walking in from the outer door, Loki found that most of them were dressed gorgeously, and their faces had many similarities.
"Could it be that these people are the members of the Plantagenet family?"
"Why are all the people in this family so weird!"
Wenzof once mentioned that the stiff prince and princess looked like his eldest daughter Sophie.
Sophie was like this before she got the imperial seal.
Not fighting or robbing. Can't speak, and her brain doesn't seem to be very smart.
Nefertiti once said that Sophie was a "soul box" transformed by members of the "Illuminati".
Could it be that all the people in this castle are like Sophie, without wisdom and soul? !
Loki stopped and thought.
"I roughly understand why the group of sword cultivators dare not enter the imperial city!"
"If the palace looks like this, if the true face of the 'Plantage Family' is like this, the mastermind behind the rule of the Kingdom of France really dare not let his subordinates enter the city without permission."
The French royal family is a huge conspiracy in broad daylight!
**
The Dark Middle Ages were bloody and chaotic. At this time, all the people succumbed to the pressure of the monarch. The "constitutional monarchy" would not come for another 800 years.
The monarch is a veritable "king" in his own fiefdom.
They regard their subjects as objects, do their best to plunder their wealth, and squeeze their time and life.
Lords like Duke Bernard, who are "small-bellied, always willing to spend every penny, and send troops to exterminate the clan if they disagree" are the norm in this era. Even "Honest Man" Elam, a monarch who can be called a lover of the people, all his policies of loving the people are only based on what is "good for himself".
Looking back at the Principality of France
Merchants can trade freely. Not only do they not have to worry about being squeezed, but they also have organizations like the Merchants Federation that always protect the rights of merchants.
Peasants can farm without any restrictions. Apart from the field tax paid to the lord, they do not need to consider taxes such as the "King's Tax".
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that even if the "right of first night" exists in this land, most people tolerate it.
At this time, when I think about it carefully with my brain, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion——
In this era, there will never be a royal family that does not take anything from the people and is so generous that it is outrageous!
If my guess is not wrong. The real rulers of this country should be "Diamond Flower" Durang, Justice Ethan and other members of the Illuminati.
Only in this way can we understand why France is so powerful in the economic field.
As for the interior of this strange palace, it is very likely that the real high-level person in the Illuminati is hidden. It is very likely that it is the "sect leader" who has never officially met!
**
In order to ensure the mystery of the imperial power, he will not let any living person easily enter the palace!
First of all, the old lizard is definitely not excellent in terms of physical fitness and combat ability.
After mastering their weaknesses, not to mention the powerful sword cultivator of Tang Dynasty, even the ordinary God's Chosen, a group of creatures that generally have no offensive capabilities, can't do anything against them.
Secondly, it does not explain why everyone in the palace behaves like this.
They are all soulless zombies!
If the guess is correct, the old lizards of the Illuminati kept them here just to wear these skins when convenient.
After clarifying this layer of thinking, Loki no longer felt afraid.
Human beings will only be fearful of the unknown. At this time, an unknown number of old lizards had died in Loki's hands.
It is not difficult to deal with this group of things that do not have any divine power and only rely on the ability to penetrate human skin and survive.
