Chapter 443 The trap in the palace! Out of body consciousness!
Sean has never seen such a large screen. In line with the dark environment in the palace, the screen is almost like a city wall rising from top to bottom, blocking all views.
The gray-black screen frame is made of unseen wood, and the panel should be some kind of hand-carved relief. It is obviously the national emblem of the empire that has been seen many times, but it looks eerie in this place. .
There are complicated and exquisite carvings on both sides and bottom of the entire screen. Sean looked closer and soon discovered that the carvings that seemed ordinary from a distance were actually made of countless densely packed small particles. Composition, if you look closer you can see that the so-called small particles are actually miniature skulls.
Humans, crazy beasts, mutants, and even prosthetic types, plus countless skulls that Sean has never seen before, are piled together to form complicated carvings on the sides and bottom.
There is a gap between the bronze base and the main body of the screen. Looking carefully, there is no contact between the base and the main body. It seems that some mysterious power escapes from the base and drags the strange screen above.
"Some kind of ceremonial props? From the perspective of decoration, it's too unlucky... Could it be related to the lack of light inside?" Sean frowned and walked around the screen.
Going to the back, you will see that it is completely different from the front of the screen. The back is like a miniature jungle scene, with countless buds and flowers coming out of every corner on the back of the screen, making it appear vibrant and green.
At the same time, Xiao Ci's voice unconsciously sounded a little anxious.
“Brother, I feel it, right there!”
Taking one last look at the completely different screen, Sean turned his attention to the emperor's bed.
Different from the gloomy palace, the emperor's bed was extremely luxurious. The main body of the bed was made of expensive wood that was both decorative and could help people calm down. This kind of wood was sold on the black market. The transaction price was one thousand three hundred lire per gram, and the bed in front of me required at least two tons.
The natural texture and color bring nobility and elegance, and the Gothic bed frame design adds a sense of solemnity. The towering bedposts and complicated carvings complement each other, like a miniature palace, highlighting the Out of the emperor's supremacy.
The high bed curtain is made of unknown expensive silk threads, interlaced with gold and silver. Through the bed curtain, you can see something vaguely revealed next to the huge bed head. Some shadows come.
For the first time, desire appeared in Xiao Ci’s voice: “Brother, that’s the one!”
The hand reaching for the bed curtain paused, and Sean turned to the other side of the bed. He was not going to reach out and take it out directly.
When you get to the other side, you can clearly see the whole thing. It is a... potted plant?
In the potted plant, a 'huge' tree is lush and green. Even in a completely dark environment, it still exudes amazing vitality to the surroundings.
The reason why I say ‘huge’ is that it is not so much a potted plant as it is a natural giant tree that has been shrunk countless times.
It seems that there is a great and mysterious force that directly shrinks the huge trees on a plateau, and then 'grabs' the plateau into the flower pot.
"The World Tree?" A trace of shock flashed across Sean's eyes.
He has seen the shadow of the World Tree many times. Except for its size, it is almost exactly the same as the potted plant in front of him.
However, Sean immediately overturned his conjecture. If the World Tree could be kept by the emperor in this way, then the tree would be too unworthy.
If it looks like that...
A malicious smile flashed in Sean's eyes.
It is very similar to the World Tree, and has many characteristics of the World Tree, but it has always stayed in the emperor's palace.
I'm afraid... this is the true form of my cheap little Nanliang son: Wen Naike, right?
According to the information previously disclosed by Wen Naike, the current emperor is basically the skin of the skinned messenger. This parasite that can corrode the World Tree has no self-awareness, so the emperor is likely to fuse With the skinned messenger and royal blood, and relying on the special characteristics of Wen Na Ke's body, he is doing something... There must be many secrets that Sean doesn't know about, but now is obviously not the time to explore the secrets. The emperor may come at any time Return to the bedroom.
Looking around, Sean made a decision directly.
He doesn't know how the defense measures in this place operate, but as long as they are not allowed to operate, it will be fine.
The defensive measure in front of you is most likely the high bed curtain or the bed as a whole.
Tickling his fingers slightly, Sean's eyes showed a hint of joy. Sure enough, the bed as a whole can be defrauded, and judging from the feedback from the deceitful heart, the price to pay is not small. .
It’s not a big problem. Just go to the city wall and there will be countless despair and death waiting for you to absorb it, and then offset the cost.
The heart of deceit activates.
The specific price also came to Sean's mind.
A look of shock flashed in his eyes, this was a price he had never seen before.
Disengagement from consciousness?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Sean felt his body lighten up, as if a giant grabbed his head and yanked it up to the sky.
As soon as he was about to take some defensive measures, Sean realized that his body was floating.
He looked down with feeling, and then he saw that his body was standing still with his eyes closed - his consciousness had been forcibly pulled out of his body?
Different from the previous summoning rituals commonly used by Sean, this does not use the spirit as a carrier to summon an etheric body to appear in reality, but a pure consciousness out of the body - even, this is not because of anything else, but because of his own ability. The price that needs to be paid.
Sean's consciousness flickered in the air for a few times. He tried to return to his body, but a huge resistance stopped him.
The deceitful heart refuses the early return of Sean's consciousness when the price has not been offset - this is the ability of the conceptual system. There is never a second set of standards for the master, but Sean can always Just control it effectively.
Wait a minute, the price of deceitful heart is this...
Sean's consciousness frowned, thoughts surged, and he suddenly raised his head after a moment.
Damn...I fell into the trap...
"Brother? Brother?!" Xiao Ci called repeatedly but got no response. She carefully got her head out of the mirror space and took a look, and then she saw Sean stood straight and straight, his eyes closed tightly.
One of his hands seemed to be going through the bed curtain to get the potted plant, but his movement stopped strangely.
An old and tired voice sounded in the shadows: "Sure enough...seven original powers, the most despicable villain, the most arrogant fraud, the most conceited lie...three kinds gathered together , and become a person like you who knows nothing about the world.”
